Was running icecoldsandwich but decided to go back to stock
Downloaded ruu vivo .exe and flashed but now stuck on white htc screen

I put the rom.zip file and renamed to PG32IMG and flashed via fastboot but still stuck on white screen.
Been searching for fix for 5 hours but dont know what to do. Need phone for work tomorrow what a mess !!
Any help really really appreciated

If you unlocked using htcdev.com you still have to flash the boot.img manually, otherways it will be stuck at white screen with HTC in green letters.

yes mate s off

Rerun the ruu.exe, but while you're still in the setup, find the rom.zip somewhere in your Temp folder on your computer.
Rename to PG32IMG.zip and put at the root of your SD card.
Now reboot in bootloader.
Maybe this works but I'm not sure, and don't blame me if something goes wrong, because I'm still new here.

OK, since you are S-OFF using Revolutionary, you will not be able to install the latest Sense 3.0 RUU because Revolutionary is preventing the RUU from overwriting its HBOOT with the locked HBOOT 2.00. The reason you are getting stuck on the white screen is because the Sense 3.0 RUU requires the locked HBOOT 2.00 be present.
Look in the Development section This is a stock, rooted ROM based on the Sense 3.0 RUU that you can flash since you are S-OFF. First you will need to reinstall ClockworkMod recovery and then you can flash the stocked, rooted ROM or any custom ROM.
If you really want to return to stock using the Sense 3.0, then you need to search this forum for the way to return to S-ON and then you can flash the RUU.
Hope this helps.

Please read the OP again. He has attempted to flash an official HTC RUU, not a custom ROM. The boot.img is not the issue, it is a HBOOT issue!

OK, if you can't connect with USB then FASTBOOT USB mode isn't an option. You need to create a PG32IMG.zip with the CWM recovery.img file in it, copy it to your SD card and flash it from HBOOT mode.

This will not work with the official Sense 3.0 RUU/ROM that he is using!!!! You can flash that boot.img all you want, but if you do not have HBOOT 2.00 installed on the phone, this ROM and boot.img will not work! It will bootloop on the white screen.
That boot.img requires that HBOOT 2.00 be installed because it uses a new /LIB partition to be mounted and HBOOT 2.00 is the only one that supports it.

[Q] HTC Incredible S stuck in limbo :(

Well here's the story, someone gave me their phone to root (i'm the official rooter in my city ) and i accidently skipped over a major step, infact a few of them.
1: I unlocked the phone and flashed clockwork touch recovery
2: Did not backup the original non rooted rom
3: Did not S-off the phone
4: Flashed Android Revolution HD
Now No rom is working, IT gets stuck on the white HTC logo. At least tried 2-3 of them. Cyanogen and ARHD to start with. Tried a few RUU but those aren't going through too. Tried extracting rom.zip from the RUU and flashing manually but they dont work.
Attached is an image with the details of the Firmware on the phone and radio atm
I checked the HTC CID and it's 044 ... Any sort of help would be appreciated.

I feel bad for your city where did you get cwm touch recovery?
Have you flashed the boot.img in fastboot?

If flashing the boot doesn't work. Couldn't you just attempt to s-off through fast boot and flash the RUU etc?
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium

I feel sorry for them too, now that i screwed up, for the first time though
Well my hboot version is 2.01 and it wasn't supported in revolutionary.io 's s-off method. Didnt think it would work any other way. I dont know how to downgrade it to 1.13.
I got my clockwork recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680 this post. If only i can find the original rom/RUU which i can flash and just reset it to the original factory rom. :| i tried 3-4 of the RUU in the filefactory folder that's listed in the incredible s shipped rom section but none of them work.
Can i change the CID in teh android_info text file in the rom.zip of the RUU ? would that work ? apparently the zip is claimed to be corrupt when i try adding the same file back.

I'll ask again, have you flashed the boot.img in fastboot? The link you provided has no touch recovery in the OP or am I required to read all 29 pages?
If you're using cwm from the OP, you should update. Here's the newest version I know of http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
To your question about flashing an ruu with a modified android_info on an s-on device: no.
You can find what ruu you need by entering the command
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
the number returned corresponds to the ruu that you should be looking for.
As you are an experienced rooter you probably already know to wipe cache and usually data when you flash a new Rom.
@vizzy how would you gain s-off in fastboot mode?

HTC Incredible S/Vivo cwm-4.0.1.4-vivo.img

this is hte file i posted from the link i shared before. Which exact boot.img are you talking about ?? Also most of my rootings were done with either unrevoked or alpharev which required minimal tweaking . I'm no pro, just try to give it my best
Also the version that the fasboot command gave me was 3.11.707.1. (thanks for that tip, i'll remember it). Going to search for it
Also how can i S-off in hboot or fasboot atm ??

Because the phone is s-on, the way you need to flash a custom rom is as follows:
Install zip from sdcard in cwm, then extract the boot.img file from the zip file and flash it in fastboot I.e
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
these steps are included in the newbs guide sticky

THANKS !!!

in serious need of help for the phone!!!!

Hi guys,
I'm new to the android world. I was playing around with my mum's HTC(was on ICS) and tried to root it, but im not sure if its rooted now, but i have ****ed the phone up hardcore
The problem is phone stuck on HTC Logo and won't boot. It's possible to get it in bootloader and it looks like this: I have unlocked it HTCdev.com
*UNLOCKED*
S-ON
HBoot: 1.28.0004
RADIO-3831.15.00.20_M
eMMC-boot
I dont get a connection to the PC, but after first time plug-in it installed the drivers.
So now my question is how can I get an new Ruu on this phone. Would it be fixed by me installing the ICS RUU.exe file?
I can't seem to find it i do have the code from the HTCdev, but i do not have ANY clue what to do..... Please help me out

To get the correct drivers that are needed for the phone you either should install htc sync then uninistall it again or you should go download my tool, it has an installer for drivers for windows, just not windows 8.
About the code from htcdev, that part you have used correctly. That is a bin file you used to get bootloader *UNLOCKED* and since its saying unlocked you should be good to go.
After unlocking the bootloader you can go to bootloader and flash a custom recovery. To do that you can simple install my runnymede aio tool and press either twrp or cwm recovery button. It will pop up with a box that says "Press Ok when in bootloader" and since you are already in bootloader you can just skip that part and press ok.
after it has flashed recovery it will try to boot to the system just go to bootloader again
When you are in bootloader you can go into recovery.
After that you can flash any custom rom but if you want to stay on a custom rom i will recommed you to flash to specific roms first, found in the "guide" in my Runnymede AIO Tool. And then after that flash any rom for our phone. I know it sounds a little stupid and is is also not cofirmed giving any diffrence but it looks like the htc sensation xl is much more hard to brick if these two roms have been flashed.
If you just want to go back to stock , then flash a custom rom and boot it up.
Then use the function in my tool from fully booted to s-off just remeber to use the one that says your hboot version.
A note here: Hboot version 1.25 = 6.25 and 1.28 = 6.28
after that is done boot the phone up normally and run a ruu.exe file and you will end up in a stock locked rom after that.

Thanks Anders3408 i have followed your instructions and have downloaded your tool(which works like wonders).
Now i am facing another problem. My current rom is a custom one (1.56.401.2), but it tells me there are no hard disk spaces and i keep getting Contacts Storage stopped message (even after i press send report to HTC or even if i declined it....)

I have a similar problem....i'm S-ON UNLOACKED....hboot 1.28.0006 ....i can only have fastboot connection...i even tryed an RUU (RUU_RUNNYMEDE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.2_Radio_20.70.30.0832U_3831.16.00.16_M_release_258303_signed) but still bootloop! :/ I'm driving crazy!!!
ps: tried to flash a custom recovery but doesn't work!!! (during flash i was on s-on because i couldn't flash hboot s-off )...The phone has no root.

It you have EUROPE CID then flash this
http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.ph...odel=Runnymede
If link doesnt work then here the same
http://hotfile.com/dl/145704399/e91...822.10.10.12_M_release_222101_signed.exe.html
Install that Europe Version of GingerBread.
When finish let it boot and when setup is finish update via OTA to ICS..
If this still doesn´t work then S-off with this. ----->
http://unlimited.io/runnymede.htm
You will change your hboot version. Use that 4445 version in download. Its unsecure hboot.
Follow the ADB steps carefully and when done reboot into bootloader again. Flash custom recovery like TWRP
Wipe cache,dalvik,system
Then reboot into bootloader again
FastbootADB and run the RUU from PC

thx for your reply but im completely stuck at cwm.
and for rumrunner i need to be rom booted. so how do i get s-off, when im stuck at cwm.
everytime i start with power on he goes directly to cwm
Edit: and it isn't even listed anymore in adb devices
edit2: i have unlocked my device again and now it isnt stuck on cwm. it tries to boot now with HTC logo then changes to cyanogenmod logo and he is stuck here now

Did you relock the bootloader before you attempted to install the RUU?
If you did and that didn't work I would recommend installing a different recovery. Most ROM developers use TWRP which you can grab here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/164
then try to install a basic stock rom for your carrier, or if you are on T-Mobile, AT&T or any GSM carrier (including International) use any sense based rom like Android Revolution. Re-lock the bootloader then try again. The issue might be just that you have an unsecured or "unstable" kernal and the RUU doesn't like that.

buy a USB OTG cable, which is available in most supermarkets or on any site if u prefer online and costs abt $5. This cable is basically micro-USB(ur charger port) to a full USB port. Put ur rom zip in the USB, go 2 TWRP and flash the rom directly from the USB.

ok i managed to adb push the custom rom into data/media/0 with recovery mode
how can i install it now?
EDIT: after every reboot my pushed files are gone

If I assume you're still using TWRP simply click "install zips" and navigate to the file you pushed over. The phone should do the rest and you'll have a stock kernel and os to work with.

No He cant use that RUU because his hboot version is 1.55. you need hboot 1.44 to use that ruu and the only way to install that ruu will require s-off.
from htc1guru.com
You will need S-off to run the RUU if you have a higher firmware version on your phone currently.
You may need to flash hboot 1.44 before the RUU will install. S-Off Required.

Now download this guru reset
Move the .zip file to your adb/fastboot folder of your computer
boot phone in bootloader mode, select fastboot, then connect usb cable to computer.
enter twrp recovery then open a cmd prompt from your adb/fastboot folder
Code:
adb push name_of_guru_reset.zip /sdcard/
when the transfer is complete, in twrp select ''install'' and chose the zip that should be at the root of your sdcard
then follow instruction in aroma installer.

[Q] S-On, reboot loop, HBOOT 1.55, need to restore

I've been having some problems recently. I've been wanting to update to Kitkat but I have replaced the stock recovery software with CWM, and thus it doesn't work.
To solve this problem I've figured out that I need to get my claws on an RUU, which I have. Hopefully I've grabbed the right one. It doesn't seem like the RADIO serial-thingy matches though. Device has
Code:
4A.21
whilst the RUU has
Code:
4A.23
.
I've tried using the RUU in fastboot but later figured out that I need to have S-OFF for that. That is currently not the case. I've tried using both Firewater and Rumrunner. According to the instructions I'm required to have the phone on in the usual way. As in, not in the bootloader. The problem is that my phone is stuck in some restart loop. When reaching the PIN-screen it will automatically restart/crash after a few seconds. I can however use the phone as usual during this time. Sometimes, it alerts me with an error.
It also seems like the battery completely empties itself sometimes. This is when trying to restore it, getting in and out from the bootloader and the like.
Here's some software info:
CID: HTC__Y13
MIDN0710000
Bootloader info:
Code:
M7_UL PBT SHIP S-ON RH
Code:
HBOOT-1.55.0000
Code:
RADIO-4A.21.3263.04
Code:
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
Code:

I've tried using the RUU in fastboot but later figured out that I need to have S-OFF for that. That is currently not the case. I've tried using both Firewater and Rumrunner. According to the instructions I'm required to have the phone on in the usual way. As in, not in the bootloader. The problem is that my phone is stuck in some restart loop. When reaching the PIN-screen it will automatically restart/crash after a few seconds. I can however use the phone as usual during this time. Sometimes, it alerts me with an error.
It also seems like the battery completely empties itself sometimes. This is when trying to restore it, getting in and out from the bootloader and the like.
Here's some software info:
CID: HTC__Y13
MIDN0710000
Bootloader info:
Code:
M7_UL PBT SHIP S-ON RH
Code:
HBOOT-1.55.0000
Code:
RADIO-4A.21.3263.04
Code:
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
Code:
OS-3.62.401.1
Great thanks in advance and pardon my useless formatting (and my lacking knowledge of this forum as there might be some rules I'm not following), I'm damn tired of this device.

If the RUU is an .exe file, then try placing it in the same folder as your ADB/FASTBOOT files. Plug-in your phone to your PC so that it is recognized on the PC then double click the RUU.exe file. Follow the on-screen instructions. You don't need S-OFF to run an RUU for your phone with the correct CID & MID providing the RUU is the same version or higher.

sigh... How could I be so dense? I should know this. Thanks for the quick response. I will try this at once.

The RUU crashes when launching it, "InstallScript Setup Launcher has stopped working". I'm quite sure I have the required stuff to run it. Running it as admin didn't help.

It looks like a PC issue. Check out this post Installscript setup launcher has stopped working! In the reply they list two methods it looks like you did the first one. Sometimes, I just have to reboot the computer to get everything set correctly.

Unfortunately, none of these methods helps. The device is supposed to be in Fastboot USB mode when the RUU is launched, yes?

what is the ruu version you are trying to use (complete file name)?

easiest way: download this guru reset file, its exactly the same version you have on your phone now.
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
put TWRP 2.6.3.3 (recommended) recovery on your phone
copy the zip to your SDcard
Enter recovery and flash like you would do with a custom rom
in the Aroma installer, select wipe data, install stock recovery, install stock radio when prompted.
This file will put you back to fully stock.

Hi, I'm a newbie and I was supposed to post a thread regarding a problem I'm facing similar to this. So if it's alright, I'll post it here also and ask for your advice. I recently unlocked my HTC One w/ 4.4.2 amd Sense 6.0 a few days ago and was also able to flash CWM custom recovery and root it. I then tried flashing the latest Android Revolution HD, when I rebooted the phone after intallation, it just stays on the first spash screen. I forgot that I needed to S-off my device. So now, I can only access the bootloader and recovery. The status of my device currently is *Tampered*, Unlocked and S-On with 1.57 Hboot. Also, I can't copy files from my PC to the device. I don't know what to do. I've been reading around but I think I need some concrete advice. Thank you in advance.

Best to start your own thread, but on a quick fix, your problem is CWM, you need to use TWRP recovery to flash that rom, also recommend 2.6.3.3
Tampered and unlocked is normal, nothing to worry about, and you don't need s-off to flash custom rom's, just an unlocked bootloader

Bugger, I have it renamed to RUU.exe and it's md5 doesn't match any file from the site I remember I downloaded it from. I am, however, currently downloading
Code:
RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_O2_UK_4.20.206.16_Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353143_signed_2.exe
CID and MID matches, but I didn't buy it in the UK. It was bought in Europe.

Thank you, I appreciate your advice. I tried flashing TWRP recovery but when I go into TWRP recovery, my touchscreen doesn't respond. Any thoughts on why? It works when I'm on CWM though.

Did you name that file yourself, that's the wrong file, that one is O2 "206", hence 4.20.206.16 you need 401, 3.62.401.1 which is WWE, the same number under your os information in your first post and the same as the guru reset I linked.

this is a reset rom

select to restore stock radio and stock recovery
then you'll be fine to take ota updates.
the file you are currently downloading isnt for your phone.
edit:
well @Seanie280672 already suggested you to do this (just saw his previous post)
will be the easiest and fastest solution in your case.

TWRP 2.6.3.3 has been flashed and I'm currently downloading the .zip file. Is there a way to put the archive on the device staying in TWRP/Fastboot?

with your phone booted in twrp main menu, and the rom.zip in the same folder of adb.exe and fasboot.exe:
Code:
adb push guru_reset_m7_3.62.401.1.zip /sdcard/
wait for the file to transfer (5-10 min) (there is no progress bar just wait adb to tell you the file transfer is complete)
then in twrp hit "install" and then choose guru_reset_m7_3.62.401.1.zip

Thanks!
On an unrelated side-note; if I "thank" someone in the forum, does that count as an upvote or a complete fix regarding my problem (like StackOverflow works)?

no, hitting the "thank" button doesn't count as an upvote like on other forum. This is only to say thank you to a person who helped you.

The ROM was successfully installed and I'm currently configuring my phone! The phone did not implode when restarting, something I take as a sign of a functional phone! A truckload of thanks for the both of ya!
