Hello community!!
I'm new to the HTC/Incredible S world, I have a rooted/cfw LG P500 and now I bought this great phone. Problem is that I updated it to the last official version before this try.
So I went to the official site and I followed successfully the HTC site steps to unlock the bootloader (golden card?) and now I'm trying to follow the guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385084
But I have some problems.
First of all clearly the revolutionary program doesn't work (HBOOT 2.0).
I booted to the bootloader (power+volume down) and I had the error "main version is older" then I copied on the SD card the file for the recovery PG32IMG_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_KT_KR_2.32.1010.1_Radio_20.2810.30.085AU_3805.06.03.16_M_release_199684_signed.zip, I renamed it PG32IMG.zip, it loads it but when I press recovery it gives me an allert icon (the phone with a red triangle + red "!" ) and it does nothing.
I installed the SuperUser app like it is written in the post but when I type SU under the adb shell and it gives me "permission denied".
What could I do?
Is it even possible to downgrade it to a rootable/customable version?
If someone write a guide for rooting with the last update installed from original s-on step to step will be very util and a lot of people will be gratefull!

Bootloader unlock and goldcard are 2 seperate things. Bootloader unlock is required at the moment for flashing recovery and superuser for rooting the phone.
Gold card is required for flashing another carriers rom.
Read this thread about recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104765
After that you can enter recovery mode and flash a superuser zip file http://goo-inside.me/superuser/
My guide should be able to downgrade your rom and get s-off after that (if after researching you decide you require it) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373697
Hope this helps
Thanks, I'm going to try this as soon as I can, I'll write back the results
edit:
It seems like I can't even pass the first step, the 4EXT Recovery Updater doesn't work, it crushes at EVERY menu item....
(I waited 5+minutes and I had the internet connection on).
I checked and the boot loader says "unlocked". Notice that my device is, of course, NOT rooted (at least for what I know for "rooted", it is still unlocked by the HTC official method)....
you need root to use the recovery updater.
download the recovery image and flash it in fastboot
Thanks it is finally working!!
I totally forgot that you flash with fastboot via windows console, not within the bootloader....
I hope to finally install something tonight, I'll post some news later.
Thanks again!
edit:
Nothing..I went successfully to the RUU downgrade part but that doesn't work, I tried from the normal system and it blocked because of the hboot version, then I tried within the phone fastboot phase and it blocked again, giving the security failed error...

Hi!
I have successfully rooted my phone on the last update 2.3.5
The steps I made:
1. Going to htcdev and unlocked the bootloader
2. Flashed a recovery image from clockworkmod.com
3. Installed SuperUser from clockworkmod.com using recovery
I collected the information from a few threads here and had no problem.
I didn't tested custom roms, all I wanted was to root and worked just fine.
I can detail my steps if someone need it.
edit:
It seems I cannot post the images, too noob ....
Anyway:
I had a photo of the phone in the custom recovery mode, another of the phone with the 4EXT recovery successfully flashing his recovery, another of the script of your post running with this message:
(no errors)
Do you have an unlocked bootloader from htcdev.com (I have)
y OR n:y
<waiting for device>
...
(bootloader) Lock successfully..
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 0.239s
Note: run the RUU in fastboot mode
If all steps etc etc
Now if I try to run RUU NOT in fastboot mode I receive the message:
The Utility of ROM udating can't update the Android device.
Take a valid ROM updating Utility and try again
(I'm translating from Italian)
If I try to go to fastboot after running the script I need to go to hboot using volume down+power since you can go to fastboot only through bootloader and HIS first step is to check the bootloader file (am I right?)
so, since it is again LOCKED the custom boot file I was using PG32IMG_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_KT_KR_2.32.1010.1_Radio_20.2810.30.085AU_3805.06.03.16_M_release_199684_signed
doesn't work anymore and the old one neither so I have to unlock it again and it goes the loop......
So this is the situation, I hope I will be able to post some image soon...

Thanks, I did too the 3 steps, rooting my device successfully...
But I think I need to do a total S-OFF (deeper than the HTC one) to use the CFWs.
It should be like: follow the above 3 steps and:
4. use some script/console command to prepair the device
5. DOWNGRADE it to 2.2 or something
6. use the "revolutionary" Utility to S-OFF permanently
7. flash the ROMS from the recovery
I cannot pass the 4th step.

OK, I thought you only wanted to root.
Thank you anyway
You don't need s-off for CFW's, just the unlocked bootloader. I cannot help you any further until I see screenshots as I'm getting lost in your descriptions. Ctrl prtscrn, paste in paint.
Well, I have the screenshots but I can't post web links in the forum (new user).
Let's see if I can flash some cfw in the mean time
Now I can post

After you flash a custom ROM in recovery, you have one last step to do to prevent the hang. You extract the boot.img file from the ROM's zip file and then manually flash it in FASTBOOT mode on the phone:
FASTBOOT flash boot [path to boot.img]
That totally solved the problem
Thank you ALL!!!

from your pc use fastboot to flash this recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104765
copy to sd card the superuser file:
http://goo-inside.me/superuser/
enter recovery mode and flash the zip
Then if u want to flash a custom rom you dont need to downgrade, just copy the zip into the sd card, flash it, copy on the sd card the boot.img you find inside the rom zip file and reboot in fastboot (power+volume down)
FASTBOOT flash boot [path to boot.img]
and reboot and the job is done!
My friend's phone is stuck in bootloop and I believe it's soft bricked.
It's a stock brand new HTC One M7.
It was updating one day and he said it might have got corrupted because it just shut down and when it booted back up it was stuck at the HTC Screen and wouldn't do anything.
Over the last week I have been trying to unbrick it.
It's LOCKED and S-ON Sprint HTC One M7.
I did a factory reset, wiped cache, dalvic cache, reboot. I tried putting in fastboot and flashing RUU on it but it kept failing because the RUU I had was a lower version of the image than the current one on the phone and I read online that I can only flash backwards if it's S-OFF.
Any help?
Thanks!

if the phone is new (never tampered with) and still under warranty, send it back for repair or replacement
s-off and run the ruu
unlock bootloader, flash a custom recovery and flash a rom or a nandroid backup
post in the sprint htc one forum for more detailed info
So the first step is S-OFF because I don't think k the warranty is on it.
And then custom recovery and what was the part with a custom nandroid backup? Can I run someone else's nandroid?
And if I put S-OFF on it, I can flash an older version of RUU right?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm pretty sure that in order to S-off you will need to be booted up first? The good news is that you can flash the full factory RUU with a s-on boot loader locked device so you may need to figure out how to do that first. Do you have an adb/fastboot environment set up? If so you are practically there. On a side note, I have seen no less than 3 m7s fail and softbrick on the first attempt at applying an ota, but it was always after S-off and a conversion to fully stock gpe (these were gsm models). I figured it was just because of the mods but who knows. Anyway, if you can locate and install a fully stock sprint RUU you should be back to where you were before the ota at which point you can proceed with whatever else you want to do.

sorry for the confusion, this was not steps to follow (1-2-3-4) but either 1 or 2 or 3 or 4
if you go for option 2, yes you can flash older ruu.
for option 3, yes you can flash someone else nandroid, but it must be for your phone variant (sprint) and the ideal nandroid backup should be the same OS version.

Right, you need a booted rom to s-off. (at least for the M7_UL dont know for the srpint variant)

Not exactly, you can only flash ruu with a s-on device (and locked/relocked bootloader) if the ruu is same of higher version. In that case the OP need to find another ruu (if any available)
Yeah, I have a 4.2 image when loading RUU, therefore I'm not able to use an RUU.
So what else do I need to do?
And I do have an adb and fastboot environment set up, yes.
Should I instead just S-OFF It, put a custom bootloader on it and then flash a custom recovery?
Yes if you can achieve s-off you can put any RUU you want on it and that will rule out software issues.
Okay so I unlocked it.
However I looked online how to do S-OFF and all the articles I found said the phone has to be on an functional to enable USB debugging mode and to run the appropriate programs to make it S-OFF.
Is there any other way to do it?
Now that you are bootloader unlocked, flash a custom recovery and from there a rom. That should get you back to life so you can proceed however you wish.
I have a custom recovery.
TWRP 2.6.0.0 or something. And I loaded into it and my phone got stuck and the touch wouldn't work. It says "slide to unlock" and sliding doesn't work.
What do I do now? I can't even reboot the light keeps flashing and I even tried under a bright light and still nothing.
I'm letting the battery die to restart. When u do restart it, what do I do about the bad bootloader? Can I just put another one on there? I want Philz now after that terrible experience.

This is very alarming! Be double sure you are flashing exactly what you need. The CWM you would need is 6.0.4.8 found on this page. I'm not sure what TWRP version is suitable as I don't use it. I don't dislike it. I have used it and it has worked.
Can I just do the same thing I did before to install a custom recovery?
Will it override the one I have currently?
Thanks!

We will have to see what it does after you let it die. The way your phone is acting is not good. Unfortunately, we must keep in mind that it may be a hardware fault causing all of this from the start. If it will still charge offline, then you'll get a chance to see if you can power it up into the bootloader and get fastbootUSB.

why are you waiting for it to die ? if you want to get out of recovery and tough isn't working, just hold down the power button and the volume down until the lights on the bottom flash 10 to 15 times, when it goes off, release the power button but continue to hold the volume down, you are now in the bootloader, or should be.
and yes, if you flash another recovery it will overwrite the one that's on there, unfortunately, most rom's require TWRP
---------- Post added at 03:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 AM ----------
I also just noticed you have the Sprint M7, you cant use the normal recoveries or rom's, they wont work, you need to use the ones built for your phone, which is different to the normal gsm version.
I would try twrp 2.6.3.3 or this http://mdmower.cmphys.com/twrp-m7spr/ a newer custom compiled twrp so your os version dont get wiped on bootloader.
Dang, being with Sprint complicates things?
So will that one be safe to put on my phone? And that means I can't get Philz huh?

No it doesn't complicate things, it's the same procedure, it's like with anything, you just have to make sure you get the right files. Your phone is cdma not gsm.

You can find all of those right files there
Okay thank you!
It is unlocked, rooted and had a custom recovery on it!
Now the last thing I need help with is, getting S-OFF because I still can't boot up the phone.
So now I just need to get S-OFF and then flash a custom ROM image on there and flash a custom image on it or something.
All I see when it boots up is the HTC screen.

You need a working Rom on it to go s-off, all s-off tools are run from an android booted phone, so download a Rom of your choice, in your case a sense Rom, make sure you get it from the link I supplied earlier for your particular phone, move it to the same folder where your adb and fastboot are on your computer, boot your phone into recovery (main screen only, no sub menus) and plug it into your computer, the type
adb push NAME_OF_ROM.zip /sdcard/
Takes a while so be patient, the command window will let you know when it's done.
Unplug your phone and in recovery select install, select your Rom from the list and follow the instructions

So there's a slight problem.
"ADB Devices" doesn't show anything, it says "Devices not found"
The reason I would say is because it does not have USB Debugging enabled.
And I can't get into the phone to enable it because i'm not at that point yet.
Is there anything else I can do besides "adb push" to get the file on there?
Fastboot stuff works fine.
I went to the link you provided and found CynogenMod 11 I wanted to put on there.
After looking inside of the ZIP I downloaded there's a .img file inside called "boot.img" can I do anything with that?
Thanks!

Download the 2.6.3.3 version of TWRP, rename the file to recovery, place the .img file in the folder on your PC where ADB is located and then flash in fastboot with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. After that command completes, run fastboot erase cache. Then you can copy the ARHD 81 .zip to your phone and flash away.
after that i have tried:
So now you probably have screwed your partitions flashing an incompatible rom and recovery to your phone. Flash a twrp version for Sprint variant and then format data and flash a Custom rom compatible with Sprint phones (M7WLS)

You should RUU and get everything working the way it should again.
Then flash a rom from the Sprint section.

NOTE: Read the threads, the instructions I'm giving you are just for you to gauge the difficulty of this task, to see if you can do it. Don't follow my instructions! Read the threads!
Read this first.
Then get this firmware.zip and put it in your adb/fastboot folder
source
reboot into fastboot mode with:
adb reboot bootloader
unless you don't have ADB, which you probably don't because you dun goofed when you flashed an Int'l ROM. In which case just press and hold power + vol down and pray.
once you're in fastboot mode, check to see if your device is recognized (may have to do this as root user in linux):
fastboot devices
This should list your device. If nothing comes up, check back here.
Now we're gonna lock your bootloader because RUU fails on unlocked bootloaders (security reasons). Skip this if you're S-Off (you shouldn't be, that's for advanced users).
fastboot oem lock
Now you're gonna go into RUU mode, which lets you modify all partitions of the phone (because you won't be in one):
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Now, we're going to flash the stock image to all the partitions of your device. This is the step that will undo your mistake!
fastboot flash zip firmware_version.zip
NOTE: Change the name of firmware_version.zip to whatever you download from above. If you get an error saying "flush again immdeiately," flash again immediately; just put in the exact same command.
Done. Just finalize with this:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
And then unplug and redo your entire root/ROM process from there.
Hopefully this mini guide will give you an idea of whether you'll need further help. @BD619 is a great fellow to ask.
thank you. you are a life saver. my phone is alive

Try re download the zip (or try an other rom)maybe you just got an false download. i also had some trouble with my m7 back in the day.
But in your case now you are stuck with no os or bootloop, i give you as advice to follow an soft unbrick method it worked for me, or if you have an usb otg cable and usb or and usb otg thumbstick, put the rom on that usb and connect it to your phone and then try to flash it (if your using twrp you have an option to choose from wich storage you want to use)
Also a piece of advice, when flashing roms, kernels etc please have your phone charged above 50% (just in case).

Can you please post the output of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
please remove your imei and serial number.
Depending on which variant of the M7 you have you probably just need a different version of recovery to install a CM rom. I think they prefer TWRP 2.7.x.x. Post the getvar and we can see what you have. then I can give you a better informed instruction. :good:
P.s also check the md5 of the rom zip you downloaded. Use this tool www.winmd5.com the correct md5 should be listed with the link you downloaded the rom from
failed to mount /dev/block/blah blah blah = needs "block:by-name" support which twrp 2.6.3.3 doesn't have
everything explained here
So update your recovery
and do what danny said above so he can confirm you have the right rom/recovery for your device.

Your getvar looks fine this rom should work fine with your device. Download this version of TWRP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358561860 (2.7.1.2). dropthe file in your fastboot folder and flash it with fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "name-of-recovery".img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Once thats done reflash the rom with the new version of TWRP. It should flash just fine :good:

There are a number of ways to return to stock software. You can simply flash a stock rom through twrp or use a stock nandroid. look for rom that match your version main. 7.19.401.22
I think there is even an lollipop 7.19.401.22 RUU for your device but I'm not sure if it will work with s-on though because it's a zip but it certainly wouldnt hurt to try it though. You will need to relock your bootloader and flash it with fastboot.
I'll edit this post with links when I find them unless some one beats me to it
Hey Dan do you think we could skype and you could talk me through it, it would be much easier?

Sorry I am at work so availability is scetchy. I found the ruu but it's for the older 7.19.401.2 lollipop, this won't work for you because your s-on. Downgrading firmware is only possible with s-off.
You can use this stock rom though http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/rom-100-pure-stock-5-0-2-7-19-401-2-t3044041 just flash it with twrp. The thread recommends TWRP 2.8.5.X no need to relock the bootloader or anything silly, just flash it like any other rom :good:
You'll notice that this rom is also for the older 7.19.401.2 so you will need to install the last OTA update to bring your rom in line with your firmware. Flash this recovery with the same method as twrp. (Stock recovery required for installing the OTA) http://sourceforge.net/projects/htcone/files/Recovery/STOCK/7.19.401.2_recovery.img/download reboot then just go to Settings>About>Check for updates.

Okay try this. Download the OTA but select the option "Install Later" connect your m7 to your pc and browse your storage. In the download folder on your phone you should find the OTA in zip format. Copy it to your pc.
Now open the OTA zip on your pc. Inside you'll find another zip called "firmware.zip" extract it then open it. Inside you'll find a recovery.img. extract the recovery file and flash it with fastboot. Now reboot to android and continue to install the OTA. :fingers-crossed:

Yes you will need to unlock the bootloader to flash the recovery, Dont forget to fastboot erase cache after flashing the recovery that is cruicial. You don't need to be relocked to install the OTA though.
When you select install now, the device should reboot to the Stock Recovery. At first the screen will just be black for a short while. Then you'll see an image of a phone with a Green ring and download arrow. If you hold Volume up and press the power button you will see the Stock Recovery and its progress in installing the OTA.
I'm not sure why your device was hanging on boot after installing the OTA. Maybe a bad recovery.img. that's why I say to get the recovery from the OTA file.
its still not working so i mite just install twrp and restore to cm12.1

Your still stuck with this? Try starting the process over, but do not relock your bootloader at any point.
Wipe system data and cache partitions with TWRP Advanced wipe
Flash the Rom with twrp as a clean install.
Reboot and download the OTA. Choose install later, then copy the OTA to your pc. Extract the Stock Recovery and flash it with fastboot. Reboot and install the OTA.
But do not relock your boot loader. Because when you unlock the bootloader, it wipes the device including the data/preload folder. If the preload folder is not intact the OTA will fail

What is the exact problem you are facing when flashing the stock file. PLEASE EXPLAIN FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDNG.
ELSE YOU CAN TRY THE BELOW.
NB: I AM ASSUMING THINGS AND GIVING THIS INFORMATION, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS AS I DONT KNOW THE EXACT PROBLEM YOU ARE FACING.
Make sure device is 100% battery.
1st try this:
1-Download this file: [ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_1zjuazXSqbQ0p6NWtvRk9OMzA/edit?pli=1 ] and install in Windows (Run as Administrator).
2-Open Command window and type:
Code:
cd c:\adb
3-now on your device use Vol keys to choose and power key to select, and choose FASTBOOT
4-now download the attached file boot_signed.rar (extract the file in C:\adb folder)
5-type in the command window:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
5-type in the command window:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
6-type in command window:
Code:
fastboot reboot
IF THIS DID NOT WORK, THEN TRY THIS:
Download this [ https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934555508 ] file and rename it to 0P8BIMG.zip and place it into the SD card (MMC Card), restart the device and let it boot into the HBoot menu.
Reboot device from the boot mode, if the device automatically reboot into the boot menu then it will start flashing the file automatically.
Good Luck, let me know how it went.
Try and let me know.
this is excellent, all in one place...
However, please forgive my ignorance in recovery/backup terminology (I hope it is not just me) but I get confused by the use of 'Nandroid' backup, Stock Rom, and .zip and .img files for flashing.
I have successfully used TWRP to flash the NostromoPop ROM, but have not been successful with any other .zip file supposedly a Stock ROM.
I have been hoping that somebody could put a rooted Stock ROM so that I can try it as a way to get around the KitKat blocks on writing to the SD card for some of my autosync apps.
Am I making any sense?
Many thanks if you can help

Hi,
As I understand you cannot flash a stock ROM with customer Recovery, as far as I know you need stock Recovery to flash a stock ROM, I remember trying stock ROM on TWRP but it failed, could be due to some other reason, I read somewhere it has something to do with file signatures.
As for SD write fix, you need to have root access other than that there is no fix for it, rooting with SuperUser Binary... I myself did want to try it now that I am back on stock but then I am greedy for Marshmallow (if they could fix that Loud Speaker issue) I am all in for Android M, I tried to get in touch with people on the Cyanogen Forums but no luck as I have not yet received verification email, tried so many times, no luck and as it seems there is no Marshmallow development on HTC One Mini 2....
I will wait and see how it goes...
If I am correct you can keep stock ROM and flash SU Binary and get root access and then install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix to get it done with, it ought to work, haven't tried myself...
The recovery image you gave seems a little broken, but the backup worked...thought I recommend a factory reset unless you want the system language to be weird...

Which recovery image have you used, I have flashed the newer version successfully, yes the backup worked and has non-English language as default.
The command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
fastboot erase cache
If you could elaborate a "little broken"
I maneged to reflash twrp from android, ok these is what happened, I flash it as a recovery image with twrp, when I reboot into recovery later then it just showed a picture of my phone with a red triangle icon in it, after a while my phone resets...and goes back to booting from the main installed os...

Hi,
I believe you flashed a recovery with another recovery, which I think is not the right way, the right way is to use the command to overwrite TWRP with stock recovery.

HI,
Just wanted to know if you are having any issues with low audio after restoring Android backup from TWRP, I feel my audio is way too low and cant be heard just if I am outside my room..
I didn't have any audio problems, it could just be you being used to cm's 3rd party BoomSound replacement
---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------
Well that would exsplain why some elements of the stock recovery remained after I reflashed twrp with a app on my phone, e.g. it fixed the image I get when I hook my device up to power when it is turned off...before that it would just boot me into a unusable twrp homepage
The stock RUU file is corrupt! (tried 5 times now)
Where can I get a A stock flash or a ROM that is NOT ROOTED please?
I tried the 0P8BIMG.zip on SD card method and that did not work either.
Also, I thought the RUU file is meant to be an executable not a zip file. I'm confused...

I doubt its corrupted, which OS are you running currently ?, when I tried it, it failed due to the installed stock ROM being newer than the one being installed and since I have S-ON I cant downgrade it...
You can Nandroid Restore the stock backup, I have personally tried and it works....
Another way to do it is to have the Nandroid Restore and then use Sunshine to S-OFF (as sunshine only works on stock or near-stock ROMs) and then flash with 0P8BIMG.zip, it should work then, just a thought...
Hi, thanks for these links & info. Just about to give this a go. But, what does boot_signed.img do?

Its a signed boot file, meaning it flashes successfully should the device fail to boot or stuck on boot or in other words if the device does not boot and remains on HTC, this flashing this should solve your problem.
Hi all I have been directed here from another thread as I am looking to place a stock rom on my htc one mini 2 without bloatware, I have unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP but the stock rom remains the same all I want is to install a rom via TWRP if at all possible. Is the 1gig one ok for that or will i need to completely put the stock recovery back on and the phone is unlocked to all networks if that makes any different
Thank in advance

Hi,
Its not possible to flash stock rom via TWRP, plus you need to have S-Off.
The only way to go complete stock is to restore Nandroid Backup and then flash stock recovery.

so is this the nandroid back up of a stock rom that I can use with the latest update for use with twrp and when I mean stock rom I mean a rom that has not been majorly altered to class it as a custom rom. I.e still has sense and no additional apps added
Again Thanks in advance

Hi,
Yes you will have to restore the Nandroid Backup, this backup is completely of a stock ROM, no edition, however it does not have some apps like the Calculator, Flash etc for some reason.
However I found the missing apps from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-corporation/

Excellent much appreciated for this right, so I need to first copy the nandroid backup to my Phones root and run TWRP and restore using the downloaded nandroid yes?
if yes could I please have the steps to put the stock recovery on with ADB commands as I really don't want to brick my phone (Yes I know you take no resposibilty etc) just happier to have as least the correct file names and adb commands.
And last I just copy the new stock RUU to my phone and install?
You help is as always greatly appreciated as no one seems to be ddoing anything anymore for this phone
