[Q] Problems downgrading roms / installing recovery etc.

First time I post on this messageboard. I have issues with my Incredible S and because I have tried everything available on the internet and here, I decided to make a thread. I'm thankful for any response I get.
Technical Background:
S-ON
Unlocked with HTCDEV key
HBoot 2.00.0000
ClockWorkMod Recovery
(Currently no rom installed, had CM7)
Background for not working:
I decided to wipe Dalvik cache and cache on the phone, and CM7 ended up being in a bootloop. ClockWorkMod Recovery complains about:
Code:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
... etc.
I've tried to install RUU, but it hangs during the process of "restarting into bootloader"
I've tried to install stock rom through SDCard, but it complains about zip-file integrity. (even though I've checked MD5 checksums etc.)
According to "adb shell dmesg" everything seems to be fine in regards of the chip, except from this:
Code:
[11.368560] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p27): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem.
Assume this is part of the /cache partition?
---
So, to start somewhere, I need help to figure out why the phone get's unresponsive when I issue commands from fastboot, like the following:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-vivo.img
I have to take the battery out to make the phone responsive again.
Another thing, when I press "reboot bootloader" inside HBOOT(on the phone) it also hangs.
What can I do to make my phone operative again?

A couple of comments I noticed.
1. To reflash a RUU you need to have the bootloader relocked.
2. You don't have the latest version of CWM installed. Current version is 5.0.2.0
3. Do you have a file named PG32IMG.zip on the phone? If you do, that would hamper you getting into FASTBOOT USB mode.
4. Does the command: fastboot devices
Return the device serial number or does it hang too?
5. When you flashed CM7 did you manually flash the boot.img in Fastboot mode? This is required when you have an unlocked bootloader.

Try to relock the bootloader and unlock again. Then flash a newer version of the recovery. The latest of cwm is now 5.0.2.0
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

Same thing happened to me when i flashed arhd 2.3.0....it went into a boot loop!
now incs does this..
what i did was flash the boot.img of the kernel again.
HBOOT 1.16 does some weird stuff and tends to cause issues; I think it interferes with the installation of the boot.img that ordinarily would be flashed with the ROM. Anyhow, grab the ROM that you downloaded earlier (CyanogenMod, in my example), and on your PC, unzip the file somewhere. Once unzipped, inside you'll see a file called "boot.img". Put this in the same folder as your other Android tools that you used earlier. Power your phone on, hold volume down, and instead of loading recovery by choosing "recovery", choose "usb fastboot".
Open up your command prompt again (Start > Run > "cmd"), and type (using the "android" folder for this example):
fastboot flash boot boot.img
hope it helps,

Thank you for replying, all of you.
If I could just reflash recovery. The phone get's stuck whenever fastboot/hboot tries to write the recovery image or the boot images. I'm stuck in the middle until I find out what this is caused by.

1. I've run "fastboot oem lock" to lock before RUU.
2. I can't update the recovery. When I try to update CWM (either through SDcard or fastboot) it fails during "writing". In HBOOT the phone locks, telling me not to power off the phone while "update" is being applied. Same goes for the fastboot method. The phone get's unresponsive.
3. I have the PG32IMG.zip only when I want to boot the update/image.
4. It returns the device. I can also do whatever I want on the phone shell. (create folders/run compiled C/delete files/chmod/format/mke2fs et. al). I can "push" files to the phone just fine too.
5. When I manually flash the boot.img in Fastboot it hangs like the scenarios mentioned above when it starts "writing"
Code:
C:\android>fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img

OKAY [ 1.676s]

Ok so you did relock before running he RUU. Did you manually run they RUU or did you extract the ROM.zip and copy it to your SD card as PG32IMG.zip?
After that failed, did you then unlock again before trying to update the recovery or flash the boot.img?

Actually I tried to do both, because this is actually my first time fiddling with the phone at this level. (I'm a programmer, but not a phone expert).
1a. I ran RUU both when phone was unlocked (not locked or relocked) and locked (oem lock)
1b. I've done both ROM.zip (sdcard method, PG32IMG.zip) and the PC version (*.exe)
In total 4 different combinations instead of 2 due to my lack of knowledge/understanding of lock/unlocked state of the bootloader.
Though all combinations fail at some point.
2a. PC Version RUU fails at "rebooting to bootloader". (Can wait up to 60 min, nothing happens even though it says wait 10 minutes. It is just stuck, as with the phone. Have to take the battery out.)
2b. Bootloader approach loads the Image just fine, (the blue progressbar up in the right corner) but gives me an error about ZIP file being corrupted or something. It's hard to see what it actually says because the screen returns to the bootloader menu very fast.
So. What I want at this point, would be RUU the phone, then revert back to my custom ROM. So maybe we can figure out how we can have the RUU work sucessfully.
I'm using this RUU:
Code:
RUU_VIVO_SENSE30_S_HTC_WWE_3.08.405.3_Radio_20.4802.30.0822U_3822.10.08.28_M_release_227170_sig.exe
It has the SAME radio that was on the phone before I installed CM7 a few months ago. It's the same android/sense version also. (My GF has the same phone)
I've also tried with this RUU:
Code:
RUU_VIVO_SENSE30_S_HTC_WWE_3.11.405.2_Radio_20.4805.30.0822U_3822.01.08.14_M_release_252414_signed.exe

Here are some more details on the filesystem etc.
Code:
~ # ls
boot init sys
cache init.rc system
data proc tmp
datadata res ueventd.goldfish.rc
default.prop root ueventd.rc
dev sbin ueventd.vivo.rc

Will update with dmesg/ksmg info later because the phone is charging and is spamming recharge data in the kmsg/dmsg output.

You cannot flash a custom recovery on a locked bootloader. I suggest you go through the unlock process, flash the latest clockworkmod or 4ext recovery then do a clean install of cm7.
After you flash cm7, wipe the cache partition then manually flash the boot.img from the cm7 zip file
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

I've gone through the process of unlocking with fastboot and the "Unlock_code.bin" file I received from HTCDEV. Still not able to do anything.
My wish is to use a RUU, but I need to downgrade my "version_main" first, which is not possible with "misc_version" for me. (It tells me it updated the "partition" etc. but version is still the same).

Get a rom working first

Stuck in Bootloader

I got this used HTC one. I had google edition ROM on it when I got it. Then I flashed AR HD Rom on it. Everything was going fine till I decided to flash the latest firmware since I wanted to go to ARHD 30 and everyone seems to recommend to flash the new firmware.
I was going thru the normal steps and saw that I need to relock my device. I did this:
C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot oem lock
...
(bootloader) Lock successfully...
(bootloader) mipi display off
(bootloader) mipi_dsi_cmds_tx_ext
(bootloader) pm8921_vreg_disable function, vreg_id = 38
(bootloader) pm8921_vreg_disable function, vreg_id = 1
(bootloader) TZ_HTC_SVC_DISABLE ret = 534642044 (0x1FDDFD7C)
(bootloader) Use PSHOLD to reset device.
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 1.110s
After this I noticed that I had relocked written in fastboot mode even though it said failed. So tried the next step:
C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot oem rebootRUU
...
(bootloader) Start Verify: 3
OKAY [ 0.036s]
finished. total time: 0.040s

OKAY [ 2.566s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 5.843s
And any step that I try it fails. The most unfortunate thing is I can only boot in fastboot & bootloader mode. I can't go in recovery neither can I boot normally. These are my phone details:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.44.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.18.3263.15

I looked up online tried flashing recovery but now any step that I try to do in fastboot fails with following message:
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
I saw in some places people mentioned to use RUU. Not sure what it is but if some one can point me to a correct RUU or let me know any other steps it would be greatly appreciated. My phone is almost bricked now since i can't go past fastboot/bootloader.

You have no idea how lucky you are. Before you do anything, get S-OFF using revone. Just go into CWM (or re-flash recovery) so you can use adb. Once you have s-off, follow my guide :
This guide requires S-OFF​Important
*** If there are files you need to keep, you can always use adb pull to get them out before hand (let's say a nandroid backup or something important)
This guide assumes you have knowledge about how adb and fastboot command work and that your HTC drivers are up to date.
I am in NO WAY responsible for any possible damage that may happen to your phone, I am only trying to help
Start your phone in bootloader by typing
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
or by other means.
Select "Fastboot" so that it appears in red instead of HBOOT
On your computer, make sure fastboot sees your device, then type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Type
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
Type
Code:
fastboot erase system
Type
Code:
fastboot erase linux
Type
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
Type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Type
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Download the new firmware.zip
Type
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Once it's rebooted on a silver HTC logo, type :
Code:
fastboot flash zip [pathonyourcomputer/firmware.zip]
Wait until it is done on your computer. The green line on the phone will never reach the end.
Type
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Reflash your recovery (I recommend CWM). Might as well play it safe.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [pathonyourcomputer/recovery.img]
Reboot into recovery (select the option in fastboot)
Wipe data/factory reset (you will loose everythng)
Select "Wipe Cache partition"
Select "Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Now you have 2 options :
Push (Preferred)
While in recovery, type
Code:
adb push [path/rom.zip] /sdcard/rom.zip
Select "Install zip"
Select "Choose zip from sdcard"
Voila ! You should be good to go !
Sideload (If you can't push for some reason)
Select "Install zip"
Select "Install zip from sideload"
Type
Code:
adb sideload [path/rom.zip]
Voila ! You should be good to go !

@awaitforitb:
I agree with the S-Off part, just check the date of your bootloader it has to be pre June 2013. Also, in order for revone to work you need a functioning ROM (4.1.2... 4.3 will NOT work). Do you have one functioning device, or are you "stuck in bootloader" as the title says.
You could run the RUU found on androidruu http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=M7, I believe yours would be http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo....20_10.40.1150.04_release_326691_signed_2.exe
That's an exe you run directly from your PC, and it will walk you through the steps, this will wipe your phone completely! and restore everything back to 100% stock.
After that you should get S-Off, and then proceed to whatever your end goal is.
@attanasi0 just a couple of questions, why do you recommend all the "fastboot erase userdata/linux/system/recovery" ?
Also, please remember that when using "fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip", in most cases, you have to do it twice after each other, the first will push the zip and say "failed, flush image again" (or something along those lines), the second flash will actually start the installation and should report success.
I usually use firmwares from @vomer's guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506 as they have the dzdata files removed, as well as the stock boot.img and recovery.img removed.

You're about pushing the zip at first, forgot about that.
I honestly don't know why I recommend that. I guess it's to make sure the phone is a clean slate and no conflict will be created TL;DR : Paranoia

Remove your IMEI and SERIALNO from your getvar all.
I can't find any files useful to reset your phone back to stock 6.12.161.8 version. You should flash a custom recovery + a custom rom.

Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.

You need TWRP recovery on your device.
We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]

Procedure:
Make sure the ROM you want to flash is in the same folder where ADB and FASTBOOT are.
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms. Some other roms can be found here.
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
(if not using the official HTC USB calble, make sure
you are using a USB data cable and not only a charging
cable. Data cables have 4 contacts: 5V, GND, DATA+, DATA-.
Charging cable only have 5V and GND contact and will not work)
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
If phone is booted in OS:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Wait for the zip file to transfer, this can take several minutes (5-15) and there is no progress bar, the command prompt will be unresponsive for that duration. When the command prompt is responsive again and display how much bytes transferred in X seconds, the transfer is completed:
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom
Reboot phone

Might be because your driver isn't installed (should not be the case if you have followed the guide)
or maybe because you haven't enabled USB debugging
Hoewever, just do it manually by holding power and volume down until your phone reboot in bootloader then select "recovery"

yes my bootloader is relocked

So I helped him ( @XFX-Gaming ) via team viewer. Bootloader is S-ON and Re-Locked. We got a fresh Unlock_code.bin from HTCDev.com. The unlock code flash fine and the bootloader unlock screen shows up. When selecting "yes" to unlock, phone attemps to boot in recovery and hangs at the "entering recovery" white screen. When force reboot to the bootloader, still re-locked.
Any idea @nkk71 @clsA @Danny201281 ?
I think we should reflash the firmware in RUU mode but can't find any useful files for his version (6.12.161.8)
So we need the 6.12.161.8 firmware or the 6.12.161.8 ota zip file

Yeah your dead right. Fixed this same issue in the Unbrick Thread just the other day.
Flashing the firmware and getting a new Unlock_code.bin fixed it.

Ok that makes some sense, you probably have a minor firmware incompatiblity that's causing this problem.
Download this firmware zip and put it in your fastboot folder. Rename it "firmware.zip"
http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/HTC/HTC_One/401/6.09.401.11.zip
Reboot the phone into the bootloader and connect fastbootusb.
In the fastboot command line type.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
**---case sensitive ---^^^
Your phone will reboot to a black screen with silver HTC logo. This is ruu mode we can now flash the firmware.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The first flash is just a pre-update. The screen will go off and then return to ruu mode. Flash the zip again immediately.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The second flash will flash the firmware, the progress bar on the screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command line has finished it's output it's done.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
When that's done go to htcdev.com and go through the entire unlock my bootloader to get a new Unlock_code.bin then use it to Unlock your bootloader. :good:
The firmware will also restore your Stock Recovery, so after the unlock you will need to flash a new custom recovery.

Nice collection, everything about x.xx.161.x can be found there... except the 6.12.161.8 firmware or ota we need
Btw the OP also have a thread about his issue on that forum here
and it looks like even them don't have the 6.12.161.8 firmware
will ask in the update thread just in case someone have it.

Mike1986 has 6.12.161.5 in his repository but thats the closest i can find

@alray, i'm capturing 6.12.161.9 OTA (didnt get the .8 one, got straight to .9).... i'll post firmware once i have it

Soft bricked my HTC ONE M7_UL (S-ON,HBOOT 1.57) Have access to TWRP

Evening,
I've been desperately trying to figure this out myself but I've concluded that it's too complex for me to go it alone, as it stands my HTC one M7_UL is I believe soft bricked, I can get to the bootloader and into TWRP recovery but I've had no luck with FASTBOOT/ADB, I can sideload a rom.zip but it just fails to do anything after 100%, I reboot it and it just gets stuck on the previous bootloop. Currently have no OS installed and honestly I don't have a clue what I'm doing, exactly why I'm in this mess in the first place, I bricked it a while ago but I figure I wiped system partitions and as a result am in a bad place any advice you could offer would be brilliant.

You should take a few minutes and update your twrp first because there's not much you'll be able to flash with this version and also because newer version will allow you to use mtp instead of sideload (you'll be able to see your phone storage from your computer when booted in TWRP like if it was a thumb drive)
Here is the link to download the latest version (3.0.M5.0) http://android.cmphys.com/twrp-m7/
Save the file in your fastboot/adb folder. With the phone booted in bootloader mode showing "fastboot usb" in red, start a command window and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.M5-0-m7univ.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then you can restore this twrp backup: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722646675
To restore a backup,boot in twrp and make a backup of boot.img only (this is only to generate a backup path). Then using twrp's files manager navigate to /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/your_serial_number/date_of_backup and delete backup files in this folder and replace them by the files contained in the nandroid backup you want to use. Then select "restore" and restore all available partitions.

In order to flash the official OTA you need stock recovery. You can't update your phone the official way with custom recovery

HTC One
I followed your instructions, copied all the downloaded files to the Date folder, except the file "system.ext4.win000" 1.5GB. It hangs, won't go past approx. 15-20%. I tried a very similar method yesterday, and the same happened.

So I flashed the stock recovery .img you linked and I searched for software updates, clicked ok and it reboots and comes up with a screen with a phone displaying a green triangle, after a couple of minutes the triangle turns red, I pressed the power button and the volume up button so I could see the error report and I got this:

Verifying current system...
Check /data/preload/SoundHound_Freemium.apk failed, error No such file or directory()

Looks like the nandrdoid backup was missing the files in /data/preload. When unlocking the bootloader, /data is wiped to prevent unauthorized access to your files. Unfortunately HTC packed a few stock apps in /data/preload so these apps are lost when unlocking. So the person who made that nandroid backup did it after unlocking the bootloader hence why the missing files. Sorry
When installing an OTA update, the updater-script check for all the files to be updated (thousand of files). They must all be there and as expected (not modded or corrupt). If only one of these files is missing/corrupt, the ota installation will abort, this is to prevent patching wrong files and making your system unusable.
This can usually be corrected by restoring the missing files. Unfortunately I can't find the /data/preload files for your version...
Another option would be to update your firmware so you can flash the latest version using a RUU
Download these 3 files and save them in your adb/fastboot folder on your computer:

fastboot flash zip M7_UL_Firmware_7.18.206.2.zip

re-lock your bootloader (needed since your phone is S-ON):
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Update your firmware:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip M7_UL_Firmware_7.18.206.2.zip
fastboot flash zip M7_UL_Firmware_7.18.206.2.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Flash the RUU:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_O2_UK_7.18.206.51_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_459056_signed.zip
fastboot reboot

Ok I'm all sorted that worked, thanks for your time!

802w bricked, "decrypt storage"

Hi there.
Well, my 802w (M7Cdug) is bricked. First it used to have this cycle of "turn on - work for a couple of minutes - restart - work for a couple of minutes", when I woke up next day after leaving it on cable I got this message of "decrypt storage, to start Android enter your password", of course whatever password I write it ends up with "pasword is correct, but data is corrupt", then it suggests to hard reset the phone. Doing that ends up with opening the Android system recovery with the following info in the log:
Code:
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument).. try emmc mount handle_cota_install: Can't mount /data/data/cwtemp/cwpkg.zi, 508056 times
Wiping cache partition (which is completed) and wiping data (which ends up with the same info and information on completion) does nothing.
Getting to the bootloader it says it's locked.
What else have I tried (I'm a real newbie in this topic so I might have done something absolutely stupid which couldn't have worked, but if you have any solution, please tell me):
* Unlocking: using the command "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" makes the phone show the "Unlock bootloader?" screen, choosing yes restarts it and makes it go back to the recovery screen, going back to the bootloader it's still locked.
* Moonshine S-OFF: ends up with "ERROR: run distiller again and READ"
* Minimal ADB and Fastboot & TWRP: the device is connected, doing the "fastboot flash recovery" ends up with "(bootloader) signature checking... FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)" and the "fastboot oem unlock" with "Command error".
* Minimal ADB and Fastboot & RUU: running "rebootRUU" ends up with phone again at the decrypt screen, getting it back there and running flash zip RUU.zip ends up with: signature checking / rom parsing start / rom parsing finish / FAILnot allowed / FAIL (remote: not allowed)"
I'm out of ideas - maybe I'm doing something wrong? If you guys have any idea what can help or if you'd like to help eg. via a TeamViewer I would be really thankful - having a $200 brick is not really satysfying, as well as having to use a shabby Xperia J with a broken screen as I can't afford anything new
If you need some info on what files should be used here's some stuff I got from fastboot getvar all:
Code:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 2.49.0000

Bump?

Like... seriously? Nothing can be done?

These 3 symptoms make it sounds like your Emmc might be faulty

You must have an unlocked bootloader to flash the recovery partition, it can't be unlocked so trying to flash recovery is useless, will not work.
"fastboot oem unlock" with "Command error".

fastboot oem unlock isn't a supported command on your model, on the GPE variant can be unlocked this way.

Getting it back where? In bootloader? RUU can only be flashed when booted in RUU mode (black screen with silver HTC logo). If you're not booted at this screen, trying to flash RUU is useless, will not work.

The dual sim variant can be flashed using the external sd card. Rename the RUU file to "PN071IMG.zip" (watch out for souble file extension when renaming). Move the file at the root of your external sd card (must be formatted using FAT32), reboot in bootloader mode and you should be asked if you want to update. Btw what RUU were you using? With S-On you can only use the same (or newer) RUU than your version-main number (you're already on the newest version so only the 7.17.402.55 should work, hope you already have it cause I cant find this version).
Also the ouput of "fastboot oem dmesg" and "fastboot oem last_dmesg" might help determine any hardware failure.
