Hi XDA
I have a problem.
I was gonna upgrade my HTCDEV unlocked Incredible S with CM7 to Ice Cold Sandwich.
So i tried flashing the ICS .zip and when i rebooted it was stuck on splash screen.
I figured this was because I was on an incompatible firmware version so I decide to flash the latest ICS RUU.
I start by relocking the bootloader and after that run the RUU.
About halfway through it stops with an error message.
Now I can only boot into bootloader, pressing the recovery tab just opens fastboot menu, if I try to run the RUU again it stops immediatly with error 170 and if I try to install a recovery manualy i get the error FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
Only thing that works is fastboot commands
How screwed am I?

The mistake you made was not manually flashing the boot.img file from the ICS ROM.zip since you had the unlocked bootloader.
Which RUU are you trying to install? You may just need to extract the ROM.zip from the RUU and copy that to your sd card and rename it PG32IMG.zip. Then when you reboot into the bootloader it will attempt to load it.

OK then just extract the ROM.zip from the %TEMP% directory as I previously suggested and you should be good to go.

Well...
The RUU shots down before the rom.zip is extracted to the temp folder.
But if you think this will work, would you then mind running the RUU yourself and upload the rom.zip somewhere where I can dl it?
If you have a compatible phone that is
Thank you

Run the RUU without the phone connected. Just leave it sit on the first screen and then you can find the ROM.zip in the %TEMP% directory.

[Q] Trouble while trying to unroot HTC One

Hello everyone,
I have a HTC One which I want to unroot. I downloaded several Ruu's, but al of them gave the same error. The relocking of the bootloader was succesful. But then the story begins. It is first trying to "Update signature" (Not sure for the exact English words, because its in dutch). Then an error window comes up witch says that i have to find the right update tool and should try again.
I tried several times, but with the same result. I first tried to unroot from Android Revolutioin HD 12.0, then I tried a different rom to unroot from, Vanilla Rootbox. I also removed the HTC drivers and installed them again.
When I try to unlock the bootloader again, the phone runs into a bootloop. So my phone is useless at the moment.
edit: Oh, if forgot: when in bootloop, I can enter bootloader/recovery with vol down/power, but in recovery i cant acces my internal sd-card...
Can someone please help me?

What is your CID? You have to use the correct RUU for your phone unless you're supercid or s-off. Any other will fail.

According to the guide it was sufficient to pick any Europe Ruu. But my cid was HTC__E11 i thought....

Which guide are you using?

It's a dutch one.
Translated summary:
- Download the right Ruu, it has to have HTC Europe in the name link
- Download/extract mini sdk link
- Boot in fastboot
- CMD: fastboot oem lock
- Run ruu.exe, follow instructions

That's the correct procedure. Did you try the 1.29 Europe RUU? Did you ever change your CID?

As last I flashed Android Revoluiton HD 12.0, and after that the latest Vanilla Rootbox..
When I open custom recovery, it begins with saying:

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Afterwards I tried to push a rom zipfile using ADB, first I tried to push to /data/media/0/:
"Failed to copy 'rom.zip' to '/data/media/0/': Is a directory"
Then It succeed using /data/media/ but when I tried to flash, it said "Can't mount /sdcard/"
So is trying to S-off the still the right way?

I suspect the RUU is failing because you've got a 4.2.2 rom and you've been trying to flash 4.1.2 RUUs, so it's failing the version check even though you have your original hboot. Try flashing a stock 4.1.2 rom, and if that doesn't work, try s-off.

Just download the ruu.exe file to your PC, turn oo your phone on and connect it to your PC (driver should be installed).
Just double klick at the ruu.exe file and wait ... you have to confirm some popups ..
But i´m not shure if it is possible to downgrade the hboot even with s-off anybody tried already?

Please help, possible brick after following guide to flash firmware

I was following Vomer's guide on my One, which has been working great. I had HBOOT 1.54, S-Off, SuperCID, and pushed the firmware twice, got the success message, and waited and when it says finished used adb to tell it to reboot. Now I get the splash, with the lock gone, as expected, and then the screen goes black. If I hold power, or power and down, the hardware keys start blinking and then nothing. A few seconds later I get the splash again, then blank again.
It appears to be communicating briefly over USB because my laptop starts trying to install a HTC MTP device (drive is already on the PC and has been fine) before it looses comms and drops out. I can't seem to get adb device to recognize it....
PLEASE tell me someone can help me recover my phone!!! I will be immensely grateful.

And what the HBOOT version you wanted to downgrade to?

I wasn't trying to downgrade HBOOT, just rather ensure my firmware was up to date. I'd had mine set up as a GPE and was flashing the DE (after supercid).
By way of an update, I've been able to get into bootloader and I'm a bit scared on what to do next so I dont screw this up. I notice that I still have S-OFF, but HBOOT is now showing 1.56 and it says RELOCKED at the top. My plan was to use rumrunner (just because of the HBOOT, but it is erroring anyway) to unlock bootloader, and then to look up the fastboot commands to push a ROM and recovery. Any advice?

Downgrade to 1.44 and change cid according to the Rom you want. Then unlock or set your bootloader to LOCKED
Here is the file for 1.44 http://www69.zippyshare.com/v/95229262/file.html

You can unlock if you want to flash custom recovery.
Place the file i gave you to the fastboot folder. Boot into bootloader and choose FASTBOOT.
Run the following : fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip filename.zip *where filaname the actual filename of the file i gave you
You will get FAILED or sth so do this command again to succesfully flash the firmware.

Awesome. So I've got HBOOT 1.44, S-OFF, bootloader unlocked, supercid, and TWRP 2.6.3.3 flashed again, and I tried sideloading ARHD rom. It all looked good but same thing for the moment, I get the splash and then black......I can't figure out why I can't boot into a rom right now. About to try flashing ROM again.
Okay, so didnt' work. After sideload flashing gets to 100% it just does nothing. Manually rebooting gets me back into the splash then blackness bootloop......

Can you issue fastboot clear cache in bootloader and see the outcome?
Also as you are Soff, you can run dev ruu

The former didn't get me anywhere, but I did follow your thinking and decided to use the RUU and start over. I'm happy to report that got me going, and then I was able to get AR HD on. I probably had to do that all along once I wiped the ROM and recovery, as sideloading clearly wasn't going to work (in retrospect) as it has an AROMA installer.
Thanks so much everyone!!

here is how you extract rom.zip:
Quote:
the .exe utilities can be finicky,so if you have trouble getting it to run, you can extract "rom.zip" in the following manner:
-start the utility
-check the "i understand" box to move on to the next screen
-hide the utility temporarily out of site
-search your C drive for "rom.zip". you will find it in a temporary location(it will be in a different spot each time you run the utility)
-open the folder location,and transfer rom.zip to a safe location on your PC.
-unhide and cancel the utility,your done with it.
-rom.zip can be flashed using
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
fastboot flash zip rom.zip (yes do this 2 times)
fastboot reboot
Quote:
here are some directions to flash "rom.zip"
if you're working with a booted,operational phone,you can flash the file in the following manner:
-open a cmd window
-change to adb/fastboot directory
-place the zip file you want to flash into adb/fastboot directory
-enable usb debug,disable fastboot,plug in phone
-check for connectivity
adb devices (should return serial number)
-boot to fastboot
adb reboot bootloader
-check for connectivity again
fastboot devices
-flash the file
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU (will put you in ruu mode,black screen silver htc letters)
fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip (will send and flash the file. don't interrupt it while the cmd window shows its writing's,and the green status bar is moving on the phone screen)
*sometimes a file will fail with a pre-update error. this is normal,just enter again:
fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip
and this time it will finish
-when you get "finished" and "OK"
fastboot reboot-bootloader (takes you back to fastboot)
-reboot back to the OS
fastbooot reboot
you can use this if you don't have an operational phone as well. you just need to manually put the phone in fastboot(select from hboot menu) then skip the "adb" commands and start with fastboot devices
to answer your other question,yes,you will need to re-unlock and re-install recovery after running the RUU. an ruu is designed as an "unroot" solution, or emergency fix,if other attempts have not made the phone operational.

[Q] Trouble with [OS - 1.10.605.2]

Having trouble with this OS because I want to update to (Sense 5.5) (4.4.2) but I'm stuck on (Sense 5.0) (4.2.2). Just becoming extremely frustrated and cannot find a firmware update to move my OS up to 1.10.605.10 or even 1.10.605.8.
I am on Verizon and have HBOOT - 1.54, Superuser, S-OFF, and Bootloader Unlocked. Right now after what I have been reading today it seems as if I am stuck with this OS and wont be able to receive the OTA updates to get a better ROM.
Although one good thing that happened is I just got my recovery working today thanks to "philz_touch_6.19.3-m7vzw"
So if anybody and I mean anybody has any suggestions on how I can do this or even point me in the direction of the best ROM for my requirements it would be greatly appreciated.
I do not remember rooting being this difficult with my Thunderbolt.
Best regards,

this RUU will get you to .10
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip-m7_wl_jb_50_vzw_1-10-605-10_decrypted-zip/
Instructions for Flashing RUU Zip Files:
Download the RUU.zip file and place in your ADB/fastboot folder. I would recommend renaming the zip file to something simple like ruu.zip.
Boot your phone into the bootloader by holding the power and vol up/down buttons at the same time until you see the bootloader screen or if you have your phone booted you can use the ADB command:
adb reboot-bootloader
Now use these fastboot commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Should see the Silver HTC logo. Now issue this command to flash your phone using the ruu.zip file:
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
Now the first time you issue a command to flash firmware/ruu in fastboot it only prepares the flash. You have to issue the exact command again:
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
The green status bar usually does not reach the 100% mark. When the output in the command window is complete, you can reboot:
fastboot reboot
**Notes about the RUU.zip method. You still need to have the proper CID for the RUU. You can run the RUU.zip with super CID, but you will have to lock your bootloader first. If you are running the RUU.zip as base to downgrade all your firmware because you are going to then going to restore a stock Nandroid so the RUU might not be made for your MID, so you may need to edit the android-info.txt inside the ruu.zip to include your MID or CID.

Yeah I was a little to tired to realize what I was talking about last night.
I was going back and forth between studying java, ascii, and unix for my exam earlier today and trying to get my phone squared away.
Now I'm curious about updating my baseband unless it really won't make much of a difference.
But this is where I ended up at.
