I think i read your post regarding the same yesterday.
you did not that you have a custom recovery installed...
in this case you will not be able to flash the ruu as you are required to be stock with s-on
head over to arhd thread to get the closest experience to the stock rom.
download the arhd rom, flash in recovery

But I remember that I've did this before and reinstalled a stock ROM using RUU exe file, can't I do this now?
Does WWE ROM have Arabic language?
I am very depressed because of this problem, I want to have official HTC ICS ROM.

In order to install the ICS OTA after it has been downloaded, you will need to restore the stock HTC recovery and then relock your bootloader.

thanks tpbklake, i could relock the bootloader but I don't know how to have the HTC Recovery back instead of the current one, any guide to do this?
am quoting tpbklake here, listen to him, he's the best around here
Grab a RUU and extract the recovery.img file from the ROM.zip. Then flash the recovery image in FASTBOOT USB mode using
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Extract it from an official RUU/ROM.zip file and then flash it in FASTBOOT USB mode using the following command:
fastboot flash recovery [path to recovery.img]

Did you already relock the bootloader? You need to flash the stock recovery first, then relock the bootloader.
Did you extract the recovery.img file from the PG32IMG.zip file or are you just trying to have the bootloader flash the PG32IMG.zip?
The signature checking failure leads me to believe that the bootloader is locked/relocked.

So there was no indication on the HBOOT screen to press the Volume Up to apply the update or anything like that?
no, nothing at all like this !

How did you end up flashing the recovery? Did you use the PG32IMG.zip and copy it to your sd card or did you extract the recovery.img file and manually flash it?
If you used the PG32IMG.zip file then that probably changed the mainver value and that's why the OTA is not running.
Well guess what, my device is now crashed !, it is stock at the green HTC logo, I can not access anything except for the bootloader !.
i've installed the Android Revolution HD but it didn't work as well, my device is now in mess.

You never did answer my question about how you flashed the HTC stock recovery.
Anyway, If you unlocked your bootloader and reinstalled a custom Recovery and then attempted to install ARHD, did you manually extract and flash the boot.img file in FASTBOOT USB mode?
That may be all you need to do to get the phone booted.

In order to flash from a RUU, you must have the bootloader in 'RELOCKED' mode, not 'UNLOCKED' mode.
From the getvar all screen shot, the only version of the ROM that you can reflash would be version 4.14.405.2. If the PG32IMG.zip file does not contain that version, then that would explain why it hangs up. This method also may need to have the bootloader 'RELOCKED', too (been too long since I messed with my IncS).
I had unlocked bootoader for more than 1 year and didn't have any problem with it. But now for some reason I can't flash anything.
When I try to flash using TWRP i get ERROR 1. From recovery log:
Code:
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
I:Legacy property environment disabled.
and when i try adb (not only flash but other commands like fastboot oem device-info aswell)
Code:
FAILED <Remote: command not allowed>
Any idea how to fix this?

try to unlock again, and check what it say will you try to unlock.
.
Note: The only file system that works with fastboot is the file system that you extract from update.app, only!
But doesn´t work if you flash with twrp, for twrp is the file system that you pull from the phone.

I know. Tried to flash stock boot img with fastboot and zip with magisk in twrp.
EDIT: I was able to flash boot.img after this, I guess it worked. Thanks!
I have the same problem again... But now unlocking bootloader again doesn't help.
Also reflashed twrp.
Anyone?

If you only want to flash boot.img you can do that in TWRP.

When I created this topic all I had to do to fix this problem was unlocking bootloader again.
But few days ago this problem occured again and unlocking bootloader doesn't help.
It's a bug. REINSTALL default firmware it 3 buttons, let it turn on. Unlock boot again and flash twrp. If that does not work either your phone is damaged or you did something wrong in the middle.
I accidentally flashed the wrong firmware on this device. Was meaning to flash stock firmware. But accidentally clicked the wrong "flash.bat" script. My reasoning was to fix an error with the ota update for the September patch. The bootloader is indeed locked and is not unlockable. and I can partly flash stock firmware but the boot.img and gpt.bin keep throwing a error "preflash validation failed". The bootloader logs show "failed to validate boot img". The firmware I tried to flash to fix it was the stock firmware. The variant of this device is ali. Carrier is tracfone. Someone please help. I would rather this device be of use instead of a close to $300 paper weight.
With a locked bootloader you are not able to flash anything, I believe. How about a factory reset in the recovery?
Hi.
I have searched for a solution but I couldn't find anything.
I was trying to install GCam and download the file here and when I selected Magisk Module in Magisk app my phone rebooted and didn't boot it was stuck in the screen after Android One logo.
I manually rebooted my phone and it showed me this message.
I can't take a pic of my phone because I don't have a camera or another phone right now but the error is the same in the I uploaded.
Has anyone had the same problem?
I can't flash the stock rom using the MiFlash 'cause it returns an erro: error: "Flash bluetooth_a error"
I solved the problem by unlocking the bootloader again.

Sorry for taking too long to answer.
You can unlock your bootloader by following this guide.
