[Q] Downgrade HBoot 2.00 Gingerbread 2.3.5 with HTC sence 3.0 "Permission denied"

[Q] Downgrade HBoot 2.00 Gingerbread 2.3.5 with HTC sence 3.0 "Permission denied"
I think it's the right place to ask this question
I read almost every thread, however I got confused and couldn't for the life of me, figure out what to do
Here's the problem that is asked so many times, but all with confusing discussions:
I got HTC Incredible s with Gingerbread 2.3.5 and Hboot 2.00 and software number 3.09.415.2
I did the unlock via HTCdev -------------------> no problem
Installed recovery ---------------------------------> no problem
The problem is, I can't downgrade Hboot 2.00 to 1.16 or 1.13. I face this problem after giving command for adb shell:
cd C:\Android
adb.exe shell
adb misc_version /data/local/tmp/ ----------------> from this point. All i get is "permission denied"
I tried using HTC toolkit, making a gold card (the process in which 3 questions were to answer: you device rooted? - want a goldcard?-got unlocked via HTCdev?) - HIS tool.... none would work and after doing these steps, RUU wouldn't install with the error.
can anyone give me a hand?
thanks

Use the script that is in this thread. It should work just fine.

Just because you have unlocked the bootloader does not mean you are rooted.
You should probably try answering NO to the are you rooted question and see where that gets you.

I did. I responded with no, and of course another time with yes.
but nonetheless, RUU aborts and tells me that I haven't picked the right RUU.
Edit: I forgot to tell, I flashed Superuser through recovery, nothing changed

Flashing SuperUser will give your apps root access, but in order to run the script successfully, you need a ROM that has an unsecured boot.img, such as any custom ROM. Try installing CM 7 and then re-run the script.
That is why you are getting the access denied message while the script is running.

Thanks for the info.
CM7? Where can I find that?
If you mean cm7 ROM, as far as i know, it's a custom ROM. will I be able to install a ROM regarding my cell is s-on and don't have access to root?

You will just be required to pull the boot.img from the .zip file. After installing the ROM, reboot to fasboot menu.
Then type in command: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Both "boot" are required and do not forget the .img at the end. If you changed the file name, just replace the second "boot" in the command line with whatever u renamed it to but do not forget to put .img at the end

I'm sorry, could you expand your answer a little bit and guide me more specifically?
thanks

When u download CM7, its in the form of a .zip file. Open the zip file using winrar or whatever unzipping tool u use. Open it, do not extract it. When you open it, you will find a file named "boot." This is a .img file. Copy (not cut) this file where u have adb.exe, fastboot.exe, and AdbWinApi.dll. I will assume u have these files when u downloaded Android SDK. For simplicity sake, do not rename it. Then put the ROM onto your phone and flash the ROM through your recovery. The boot.img file is in the ROM. After you finish flashing the ROM, reboot to bootloader and from there, enter fastboot mode (shud be the first option. just click power button to select it. Then on you computer, open command prompt and navigate to the file with the boot.img, adb.exe, fastboot.exe, and AdbWinApi.dll. In the command prompt, it should say cd c:/(wherever your android stuff is in)/ another folder maybe for organization)/.....>
from there type in fastboot flash boot boot.img
After a few seconds the ROM will have been flashed to your phone. Reboot and u have CM7 on your phone. Then run the RUU.
If the RUU fails, tell us the error number. Although i dont really know much about this, tpblake does and im sure hed be willing to tell you what the error code means cuz the RUU really doesnt tell u jack.

So I did, step by step
I did all, cm7 worked perfectly. then I did as you said, fastboot boot boot.img
As foreseen, error 155 popped out. "please get the correct ROM update utility and try again"
I would be thankful if you guys help me through.
Yet I have another question. If installing custom ROMs are this easily possible, then why should we do the s-off?

You have to s-off to change hboot , rom , kernel , and radio. If you want to downgrade just relock the bootloader and then run the ruu

Once I did the relock, it faced security problems and wasn't working, so I had to unlock it again.
About the second question of mine, I know what s-off is for. My question is, moments ago I flashed CM7 custom ROM to my phone and it works properly. For installing ROMs, being s-off doesn't seem so necessary. or am I wrong?

Yes this. Error 155 will pop up if u have an unlocked bootloader. Relock bootloader and rerun RUU assuming the script ran everything right
Edit: To your above question, yes S-OFF isnt necessary. However, it is necessary for some ROMs to have S-OFF or Blackrose HBOOT, the latter of which can only be obtained from achieving S-OFF. And what kind of security problems

No you're not. If you want to custom install radio , kernel , hboot and rom need to gain s-off but some rom no need to s-off. Like miui rom need s-off and hboot blackrose. Just ignore the security thingy. I had the same problem before for the security but i just run the ruu and install it works. It say security problem on fastboot rite? Then just run the ruu while you on fastboot mode. Hope it works
Also adb shell command need super permission from the device. You have to root your device.

Oh, I know how. I have this cell phone for about two years. It was root and s-off was due. But some accidents happened and I sent it for warranty, they sent it back with Hboot 2.00.0000.
But my problem is, Beta code sent by revolutionary is invalid when inserted in revolutionary.exe command propmt.

Thank you guys, this worked.
To sum it up, If you have "permission denied" problem with runme - and then, installing the RUU - relock your phone, run the RUU. and everything is there.
Peace

Im pretty sure you cannot boot into a custom recovery with S-ON
To remove the TAMPERED and LOCK the bootloader, you will have to S-OFF using rumrunner for hboot 1.5x or revone for hboot 1.44
The current Rumrunner can work with a custom rom e.g. the latest version of ARHD or Insertcoin ROM that has an unsecure kernel. To do this though you will have to unlock the bootloader using htcdev and install the custom rom and then S-OFF

Yeah you cant boot .img files any more with s-on or s-off htc removed it in the now HBOOT and fastboot.
Dont panic mate its really easy to fix
Simply download ARHD from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023 make sure you have all the latest drivers and everything installed and rename the file to rom.zip you will need TWRP for this i believe and simply boot to recovery (TWRP) and push thw file to your sdcard using adb push rom.zip /sdcard (takes a while) simply flash arhd rom.
Once your phone boots you can use rumrunner.us to s-off the phone. Follow the instructions on their site. Once thats done boot to fastboot and use the command fastboot oem writecid 11111111 you will now have supercid and you can now flash any ruu you like. (unless you need to downgrade hboot.) If thats the case pm me and i can guide you through it on here.

Tbh I know in theory xposed should be dangerous but it's really not. I would defo s-off though you need to install the latest firmware which you will be missing and addresses a LOT of issues. S-off the device and I will show you how to upgrade the firmware

I used to use ARHD but I switched to maximus HD because of the OTA and the 360 camera mod.
So to upgrade firmware you want to boot into fastboot and type "fastboot getvar mid" write it down then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485651 and download the correct version against your mid.
Put it in your adb/fastboot folders and making sure your still in fastboot type "fastboot oem rebootRUU"
Once you phone boots into update mode you will see a HTC logo on your screen and nothing else.
Rename the firmware you just downloaded to firmware.zip and type "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip"
It will say say failed pre hboot update flush image again. Simply type the exact same cmd again "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" and it will flash the latest firmware.
The progress bar on your phone probably won't go all the way up but as long as cmd says finished its done so just type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and if you look your main-os will have changed.
That's it.
Your on the latest firmware meaning all the Roms should run smoothly and you should have no more issues with exposed.

One thing I forgot to mention you need super cid so if you havn't already you need to be in fastboot and you need to type "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" and then fastboot reboot-bootloader you cod should have changed to 11111111 allowing you to flash an ruu for any phone now.

Everything done, thanks for your help!

Yeah afraid so. Tbf I don't know of that is the case for every phone but the m7_ul UK edition couldn't get it to work on any device I tried after contacting a friend who I have inside HTC's repair centre he claimed the feature does not work with the latest hboot.
I might see if I can get some other devices from work to test this further and if it is true for all variants then maybe enroll on a workaround

HTC One

I double checked my fastboot connection, every thing seems to be working just fine.
Everytime i try to run it it get stuck at checking headers (5%)

It does actually work, just seems very sensitive to OS, USB ports, drivers, (possibly even locale), etc.
Recommend you use a plain vanilla Win7 PC with USB2 port.

I had this exact problem trying to go back from 5.11.401.10. When i extracted the rom.zip, fastboot came back with remote: 02 data length is too large.
I had already unlocked with HTCDev, flashed TWRP and s-off. i just wanted a stock ruu to go back to sense 5.5. In the end, i found TeHashX has created a twrp flash here: Link I flashed that without root, with radio and recovery and I'm back to stock. You'll probably need to be s-off for this but I'm not sure. I kept s-off and the unlocked bootloader.
Ps. You can remove the tampered with a rooted rom in the process.

I have also been unable to use any of the 4.xx RUU... They worked once but none of them work now. Anyway I just wanted to say I also created a Guru Reset for the 5.21.502.2 (AT&T) here >> http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358545274 to go along with the files posted by @TeHashX

The only thing i can think of was the hboot prevents it now but i wasnt going to play with that. I personally went to 4.xx to get away from sense 6

Is there any other maybe older stock ROM i can try ?

I tried 1.29.401.x and that failed too. There was a note with the download saying you need to flash hboot 1.44 which i didn't bother with.

Trying to go back to stock. Failing...

Hello everyone,
I've been trying to get back to stock on my Sprint HTC One. I have tried using the RUU in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795856 and no luck. I am HBoot 1.55, S-ON, and running a stock rooted rom that is on 4.4.2
So here is what I tried. I relock my bootloader and proceed to run the RUU, but 2 times I get stuck on 4% so I have no luck. I tried getting S-Off and maybe that could help me bring back to stock, but that did not work either. Really need to get this phone back to Stock, any help is appreciate it, no one responded in that thread so I'm asking here. Thanks in advance.

You'll need to flash the Full Firmware first.
If it still gets stuck try a different USB Port...USB 2 work best or try a different PC.

Don't I have to be S-Off for that? It says on the video that I have to, and I am not.

Use This Firmware
You will need to re-lock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock)
Flash firmware (follow the video)
Run the RUU and you will be back to stock.
You do not need to be s-off to do either.

Did you re-lock your bootloader?
Is the firmware in your adb/fastboot/platform tools folder?

Yes sir. Relocked, only that at the top it says "security warning." I renamed the folder to firmware.zip and it is on the platform tools folder. Did all the commands, but the second time I run the same command (like it says on the video) it gives me the error I mentioned and I don't even get the loading bar on the phone. Tried 3 times, no luck.

I am actually having the same issue as described above, and cannot for the life of me figure out what I did wrong.
Any insight?

So Hboot 1.55, S-ON, and can't go back to stock?
Go to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658910
Download that RUU. Now, go into fastboot and relock your bootloader. Flash the firmware on that thread through fastboot, there's a video there showing you how. After that is done, go back to fastboot and you can run the RUU you downloaded from that thread. That's what I did and worked like a charm. Recommended if you use USB 2.0

Hi. You mean flash 4.06.651.4 version at first and then flash 5.05.651.2 version ? Is it update HBOOT from 1.55 to 1.56? What about warning message on that thread "***IMPORTANT NOTE*** you must first update your hboot to 1.56 to flash this 4.06 RUU, see full firmware below ( I recommend being s-off before doing so)"
I have. Hboot 1.55, S-on, Custom ViperOne 7.0.1

Just flash firmware 4.06.651.4 (you'll be on hboot 1.56) and then run that RUU. Don't worry about 5.05.651.2 firmware or RUU.
Make sure you relock your bootloader before anything.
Whenever the RUU is done and you're back in stock, you'll get the OTAs to 5.05.651.2, just telling you exactly what I did that worked, I also had a lot of trouble getting back to stock/unrooting.

[Q] Lost in an attempted update, AT&T M7 Sense 5.0 to 6.0

Good afternoon everyone,
So what my current situation is:
HTC ONE M7 -AT&T(Best Buy Blue Edition) activated on Criket
Android 4.3
Sense 5.0
Tampered
RElocked
S-off
HBOOT-1.55
TWRP-2.8.7.0
I'm attempting to update using the RUU from HTC's website for my phone. Everytime I run it, as soon as it starts to send the first package the installer has an error and is forced to close. I have the PC and my phone talking in FASTBOOT USB with the above current situation. I was getting the 155 error, but with the help of this forum I have gotten past that.
All I want to do is update my phone so I can get the better battery life and get Facebook working in my blinkfeed again.
Where do I go from here?
I am very computer literate, I just don't have a whole lot of experience with bootloading android. Flashing wasn't so hard though, and I'm comfortable in ADB/Fastboot. I have been going through all the guides on here I could find. It is how I got this far, but now I just don't know what to do. I still keep getting the same error.
P.S. Thanks for all the resources guys, it has already been such a big help!

Update: I was able to successfully run to completion the RUU for Cingular Sense 5.0 version 3.17 the same one as my phone, so now in the interest of sounding stupid I'm going to download and try Sense 5.5 and then step up to Sense 6.0 staying on the Cingular RUU path.
TLDR: old Update:
While I wait I decided to tinker. So for ****s and giggles I tried installing the RUU from "Android RUU" UL-3.17 the same version I already have. No real reason, just to see what would happen. It is progressing now, but has already made it much further than any attempt at installing the RUU from HTC which is also an UL Cingular version, but for version 7.23.
Just in case this information helps in my diagnosis.

Alright, So update to Sense 5.5 fails everytime at 5% again. Now it is saying it is an Error 171 USB Connection error.
I tried it on both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0.

you can't flash a 7.xx.xxx.x RUU if your phone isn't already running at least a 6.xx.xxx.x firmware. May I ask why you want to stay on cingular version (at&t) ? If you are not using an at&t sim card you won't receive ota updates and since you are not on at&t you don't need all the at&t bloatware on your phone... You already have s-off you could simply change your cid to the developer edition or supercid and use the developer edition ruu...

I'm not opposed to that, the only reason I was trying to stick with it was just to leave as few variables as possible since this is foreign territory to me.
As long as I still get Sense 6.0 I'll run any RUU.
Which one would you recommend if so?

I would simply flash the developer edition 6.07.1540.2 firmware first so your phone will accept the 7.17.1540.7 ruu.
you'll then receive an ota update to 7.17.1540.21 which is the final version with android 5.0.2 htc sense 6.0
If you want to go that way, you'll need to:
change your cid to supercid or dev edition cid:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid BS_US001
fastboot reboot-bootloader
or
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
fastboot reboot-bootloader
flash the 6.07.1540.2 stock firmware:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip Firmware_6.07.1540.2.zip
fastboot flash zip Firmware_6.07.1540.2.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and flash (run) the 7.07.1540.7 ruu.exe.

So after I flash 6xxx, I simply run the Brightstar RUU you linked? Or do I try and do it through the cmd again?

Yes after updating the firmware to 6.07.1540.2 your phone will accept the 7.17.1540.7 ruu, just run the ruu.exe with the phone still in bootloader mode.

yes, there will be only one update, from 7.17.1540.7 to 7.17.1540.21, if you don't receive any notification for it, let me know I'll link the ota update zip file and explain you how to flash it manually.

Thank you for all of your help good sir. I've been fighting with this since 8 o clock last night...
Update: all taken care of, now it is just a matter of installing my apps and setting things back up again.
Thank you again sir, you were very helpful and straight to the point! Exactly what I needed.

Ok, one thing I've run into, while installing my apps and updated and such.
Facebook won't install. It gives me "Unknown error code -504"
I tried clearing cache's and no go, I googled it but I can't find a 504 code.

Clear google play cache, find the facebook installation folder (com.facebook.katana), deleted everything, reboot the phone and try to install again.
