Hi. I have a htc sensation xl, and i did unlock the bootloader after that i installed CWM and a custrom rom... it worked a few day but one day my phone simply died, it switched off when i was brawsing the web, and now it only comes on shows the htc logo and vibrates 6 times fast... and ramanis that way!
I can get into bootloader and fast boot but i canot enter recovery... i did flash recovery again using adb but the same...
i have tryed to flash a ruu but at the end i get a error 155 and the phone remains the same...? any ideas what my phone has?
Sorry for my bad english!
When you installing RUU, phone must be in fastboot mode and bootloader must be locked.
Possible that damaged the memory (RAM) on the motherboard.
Try flash RUU for you country like i said. We will see.
sorry for my question... how do i lock the bootloader? and where do i find a ruu for cid HTC__Y13

Your CID is from Europe. Than EU RUU will be working.
S-OFF is avible not Radio S-OFF but is working nice to install without checking CID/SuperCID
well i did install the ruu and it worked this time, now my phone is kikig strong! thanx again for the support!

Nice to hear
htc sensation xl
i have unlocked the bootloader and installed 4ext , twrp recovery and whats next
I've been pulling my hair out trying to return my phone to stock in order to recieve OTA updates,
it's been the most frustrating process ever.
It's been made infinitely more frustrating because of the fact that my laptop and my desktop both run on windows 8.1
and my HTC One M7 isn't recognized in fastboot in either of them. As a result of this i've been having to borrow friends
laptops which run on windows 7 in order to try and sort the process which i'm not comfortable with.
Tried installing different drivers to no avail.
Been trying all types of things like Hasoon's tool box and an infinite amount of other techniqeus. For hours straight i've been trying and other methods to sort out the issue but have always stumbled into
walls. It's been so frustrating.
Will a phoneshop like a little store in town (not a big store like THREE or Vodaphone) be able to return my phone's software to as new like when I got it from my phone store so that I can recieve OTA updates?

I understand its frustrating but you really don't need to send your device to phone shop to return stock and get ota. Its a relatively simple process and many users here can help you. But we can't help if you keep creating new threads each days for the same issue.
thread 1
thread 2
thread 3
thread 4
So as nkk71 said in thread 1
make up your mind, where you wanna post, so people can actually help
Click to expand...

Now what I understand from all this (correct me if i'm wrong), you were on H3G, you were not able to receive ota to kitkat (even if I doubt H3G released kitkat yet...) So you s-off'ed your phone to install 1.29.401 Ruu.exe with supercid. Now you have these issues:
You can't receive ota
you are using windows 8.1 with hboot 1.44 so fastboot isn't working properly
To receive OTA updates, you need:
stock recovery
CID that match your main-version (the ruu version you installed.... a .401 base)
MID that match your main-ver
CID that match the ruu you used (1.28.401.7):
HTC__001
HTC__E11
HTC__102
HTC__203
HTC__405
HTC__Y13
HTC__304
HTC__032
HTC__A07
HTC__J15
HTC__016
ref here (4th download link in the list)
MID that match the ruu you used (1.28.401.7)
PN0710000
ref here (4th download link in the list)
So now you will need to confirm what you need with this command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
and you need this:
Code:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.44.0000
(bootloader) version-main: [COLOR="Red"]1.29.401.7[/COLOR] [COLOR="red"]-----> assuming this info is good[/COLOR]
(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-OFF
(bootloader) product: m7_ul
(bootloader) platform: HBOOT-8064
(bootloader) modelid: [COLOR="red"]PN0710000[/COLOR] [COLOR="red"]-------> need this MID (PN0710000)[/COLOR]
(bootloader) cidnum: [COLOR="Red"]NEED CID LISTED ABOVE HERE NOT H3G, NOT SUPERCID[/COLOR]
(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic
(bootloader) security: off
now you should know how to change CID because you already did to be supercid but just in case:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 [COLOR="DarkOrange"]I'll suggest you use HTC__001 but its up to you to chose from the list above[/COLOR]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then reboot and try to search for ota from your phone.
Now the Win8.1/Fastboot/hboot 1.44 issue: (Yes, you need to solve this first )
get your hands on a winXP, win7 computer or
install windows 7 on dual boot on your computer or
use a Ubuntu live cd instead of windows to use fastboot from terminal (require no installation of ubuntu) as sugested by tobesedated in thread 4 with his awesome guide including picutres (maybe her.. idk ) you can skip steps that involve rumrunner as you already have s-off. you just want adb/fastboot working from the terminal)
now try all this and feel free to ask other questions or pm me like you did, but please don't create another thread for this
Im going to sleep now so don't expect any reply from me for the next 10 hours.
oh and when you'll get fastboot working, post your ''fastboot getvar all'' here (except imei/sn) it will help.

One of the sources I read that that I did not have to change it if it was listed in the text-file inside of the RUU-zip, which it was. But I'll try that, thanks!
I just noticed a weird thing now... my device is now S-ON again!!! Could this have happened automatically when the RUU-installation failed?
The bad part is that I can now longer get firewater to succeed. It randomly quits after 1 or 2 bottles, without error message :crying:

no idea ...never heard of anyone loosing s-off
GPE is out without s-off
Hello,
I'm completely new to this so please bear with me. I bought an HTC One Mini off a Chinese seller on eBay. I have the "This is a test device" message in the "Tell HTC and error reporting" so from what I gathered, it means that it is S-OFF.
Edit: When trying to update, the update gets downloaded, phone reboots, I get the red warning with exclamation point and and it just reboots without updating.
To verify, I did the bootloader thing and it reads like so:
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
CID-1111111111
HDBOOT-1.55.0000
ADIO-4A.20.3263.16
OpenDSO-v32.120.274.0909
OS-3.22.1540.1
eMMC-boot 2048Mb
Sept 17 2013
1. What's the easiest way to get back to a place where I'll be able to update to KitKat and get rid of that message which doesn't involve too much complications?
I'm a web programmer so I'm not exactly a computer illiterate but I must say I'm completely lost.
Any answers would be appreciated.
Thank you!

The jpg of your getvar all did not show up properly. You have to copy and paste it. Based on the OS it looks like it might be a Dev Ed M7. When you post the getvar all remove the imei and serial number!
If you copied your cid correctly, then there should only have eight (8) "1" instead of nine. This post has a listing of all of the OTA beginning with your version. In order for the updates to run properly, you must have the stock recovery, stock rom and maybe some preloaded apps. This post will explain what the OTA is looking for.

Everything I can see make me believe you don't have an htc one mini but an htc one (m7) dev edition (which is a really good thing imo). Measure the display diagonal and you'll known.
4.7 inches for a M7
4.3 inches for a mini
If you have a m7 dev edition you could use the 3.22.1540 ruu to restore your phone back to stock and you'll then be able to apply ota. Red triangle with exclamation mark means there is a missing/modified system file. The ota is patching system files so if one of them is missing or modified, the installation will fail. restoring with the ruu should fix this issue. make a backup of your files before, the ruu will wipe everything on your phone.

Turns out I have a M7, seller apparently sent me the wrong phone.
Since I'm not able to find out my cid, does any RUU 3.22.1540 work
? Even US ones (like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2460534 ) or can I find a Euro one? Would you mind pointing me to one that will work?
After, can I follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082 ?
Thank you

Edit your last post to REMOVE the imei and serial number!
You can use the guide as reference but you just need to run the RUU. To run the RUU just double click it once you have it downloaded to your PC.
Go to the HTC Support Site and filter One M7 in the first box and Brightstar in the second. Then select Find Files, select the 3.22.1540.1 Developer Edition RUU to download. Use this RUU, it is directly from HTC.

you should first fix MID and CID, PN071**** is not good, imho
since you are S-OFF, your phone can be anything you want, so please explain what you'd like it to be, before I link the appropriate files

What I wanted was:
- Get the OTA update
- Get rid of the "This is a test device" message
The OTA update is now coming through after adding a clean RUU and I'm about to put s-on back in order to get rid of the message.
Is the fact that the MID and CID not there an issue?

going S-ON is going to be a really bad idea.
first fix your MID and CID!!!
MIDs should be (as far as I'm aware):
PN0710000 -> international M7_UL
PN0711000 -> international M7_U
PN0712000 -> US/Canada M7_UL
PN0713000 -> US T-Mobile M7_UL
PN0714000 -> Asia M7_UL
To change your MID to one of the above (PN0710000 for example), you can use this tool: [TOOL] MID change without ENG HBOOT | Aroma GUI
which you use in a custom recovery.
CID choices will be dependent on the MID you choose.
you are looking for serious trouble staying on PN071**** and going S-ON.

Just easier to stay s-off even though I'm complete newbie?
If I ever sell the phone, I'll need to go s-on, if I go for PN0710000, what CID should I be using (I'm in the UK)?
Once, I change the CID/MID, I'm all set to go back to s-on?

UK would be MID: PN0710000
CID would usually be HTC__001 <- two underscores, CID is exactly 8 characters
CIDs for PN0710000 are:
Code:
HTC__001 --> HTC-WWE
HTC__016 --> VODA-Africa-South
HTC__032 --> HTC-EastEurope
HTC__102 --> HTC-GER
HTC__203 --> HTC-FRA
HTC__304 --> HTC-SPA
HTC__405 --> HTC-ITA
HTC__A07 --> HTC-Russia
HTC__E11 --> HTC-Dutch
HTC__J15 --> HTC-GCC
HTC__Y13 --> HTC-Nor
CID is changed using (only possible with S-off):
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 <- two underscores
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Personally, I wouldn't go S-ON even if I wanted to sell the phone (maybe the next user wants to customize his phone), just look at your situation, if your phone wasn't S-OFF, you'd be majorly stuck (<- replace that word with whatever comes to mind )
but one thing is for sure, if I ever did want to go from S-Off to S-On, then I would only do it on hboot 1.44 or 1.54 (I believe you've read my guide, so you know the "tamper detected - rebooting" issue)

I would follow @nkk71 advice and change your MID to PN0710000 and your CID to HTC__001. After you do that then you need to download this International WWE RUU and the next update to Sense 6. By doing this your phone will be complete with matching MID, CID and OS. Stay on this version because it generally gets the OTA's quicker than the carrier version. There is no reason to go S-ON especially since your phone doesn't have a warranty!
