i sent my phone back to HTC for a new motherboard, got it back today.
It came back with HBOOT 92.00, i managed to change it to HBOOT 80.000, now here is where the problems start.
I had it rooted before i sent it away, now i can't root it for the life of me!
i downloaded the latest root kit "r6-desire-root-alt", load the fastboot start step one and it starts to flash, then i get this error "FAILED <remote: main version check fail" it continues to do the flash, then it restarts the phone, i go into the bootloader, then recovery, i get the blue recovery screen, then i do a wipe data/factory reset, then i go to apply the update.zip, it goes to verify the package and fails on the signature, so i can't go any further.
Anyone got any fixes, this is wrecking my head! all i want to do is run titanium and restore all my stuff!

Did you even bother reading the post?!
I forgot to mention in there that i have tried unrevoked and it doesn't pick up my desire, and the drivers for unrevoked don't want to install.
Am stuck at the Cyanogen android, blue circle arrow login screen.
Have tried using the Recovery, but i get E. can't read /cache/_log errors.
Have tried to erase and factory reset and then install from SD another 7.0.3 ROM and it gets as far as checking everything and beginning to install it, but then an error with /system (Error 1)
Any ideas? Have a great afternoon!
Could be a corrupt zip. Try to redownload the ROM and then check the MD5's before flashing.
Or
Update your recovery, 5.0.2.3 has been released so update to that then wipe/flash again.
Thanks, andyharny! i'lll give your suggestions a try. At least we still have use of Recovery...
Have a great evening and thanks for replying!
Wow! Am i weired-out! i had left the phone to charge again after trying all morning to "fix" it and when i booted it up in the normal manner, it went straight to my normal phone!
Now, all it's doing is just to boot up fine // but then it reboots again!!
Have a great evening! )
I really hope im not reposting something thats fixed in a another thread but ive been searching and trying things for three days and im kinda stuck. I rooted my inc 2 by downgrading HBoot and installing revolutionary and su .zip. Installed a few ROM's through ROM manager (cyan 7, liguid ginger) I tried installing a couple sense 3.5 bliss roms (thought for inc 2 but maybe not). The first one failed, the second loaded and bootlooped on the liquid splash screen. I re flashed a recovery file in cwm recovery, and proceeded to flash MIUI with rom mamager. After it was running for a few minutes i got a bunch of force closes and rebooted (cant remember if the phone rebooted or if i pulled the battery). After that im stuck at white htc splash screen and when i go into cwm recovery i get E:Cant mount /cache/recovery/log
E:cant open ETC... Ive tried an RUU .exe when in splash screen, Says battery below 30% (green light on when phone is off and unplugged), Ive tried RUU .zip as PG32IMG on sd card, loads, ask's to install i say yes and it gets stuck updationg bootloader have left for 1 hr. Oh none of my recovery files have worked they start to flash then it says installation aborted. If anyone has any ideas id greatly appreciate it, and ill keep searching. Thanks
First of all, are you able to boot into Recovery? Did you do any nandroid backups?

First off, let me say flashing a ROM that ISN'T for the INC2 is a VERY VERY bad move.
Secondly.
reboot into BOOT LOADER (without a PG32IMG.zip on the SD card!)
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN INC2 RADIO!!!!
NOW,
DOWNLOAD A ROM FOR THIS DEVICE, reboot into RECOVERY. go to mount USB and put the ROM on the root of SD-CARD.
WIPE EVERYTHING.
Flash the ROM,
profit..
im a dummy
The radio is right. Because you mentioned it again i looked up the two bliss roms i flashed and shure enough one is for the incredible. It was late when i downloaded it and i guess i didnt look to closely. I am trying your instructions but i think wipe everything is out since cache data and system parts are all screwed. Is there any way to fix this or am i bricked. I'm gonna go smack my head against the wall for a little while. Maybe that will help.
I would boot into recovery and format all partitons except for sd-card. Then mount your sd-card via recovery and push a rom via adb to your sd-card. That way you can flash it. Just make sure you unmount your sd-card before flashing the rom.
cwm isnt able to format anything except the sd card, and i can only get in the shell from recovery. Im not sure i can format anything. At least not from recovery.
fastboot?
I'm looking inot fastboot now. I don't know too much about it do i have any options there?
Well i broke down and got a new phone. I dont know if the old one was recoverable.. All the partition block's seemed vanished but its hard to say hardware when it seems like a software problem. i guess its just my stupidity thanks for the help.
So I tried flashing this ROM and i got this "set_perm some changes failed" at the end. It started to bootloop my phone and recovery wouldn't work anymore. I was able to get to fastbootUSB and tried reflashing recovery, but same issue. After wiping the cache via fastbootUSB and refalshing the recovery once again, i was able to get to recovery.
With that outta the way, whats this install error? I've really been waiting for ViperOne on VZW and i can't install it...

went it bootlooped, i held the volume down key and while on HTC screen, top said "Entering Recovery" instead of booting to bootloader. once it tried to start recovery i see it for a sec then it reboots again.
BTW, is there any way i can post in his rom thread, he said he'll fix it in like an hour, and i'm up to the late hours of the night. i'd like to coment in that thread for any probs or help of any sort, cuase i get a forum error saying i new here, i may not post much but i've been on xda for a couple years now.
My daughter's note 2, which looks to be in perfect condition, was running dirty unicorn. She messages me in a panic because the phone turned off on her, and wouldn't reboot.
I could get into recovery, but many of the options like factory reset wouldn't work. Reformatting /cache gives an error with ext4 and can't write, and at the bottom of some of the screens is an error about unable to access some log files in the /cache directory. Going to install zip to reinstall dirty unicorn doesn't seem to do anything, it can't find any files.
Wipe system gives errors like "format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p12". It can't mount /data, just gives an error.
I tried reflashing the stock mj4 via odin, which ran successfully, but didn't resolve anything.
Tried using KIES 2.6, which did go into download mode and said it downloaded a bunch of stuff and then flashed the phone, but it's still stuck at the bootloader.
I tried flashing a bootloader, but am unclear of how to flash the param file if necessary (does it go in bootloader? PDA? what slot in odin?).
I need some ideas. Maybe the flash has died on it, and it's unrecoverable, but it's in such perfect shape that I hate to just toss it.
I have recover 6.0.4.3 (CWM) installed, and can still get into it. But upon loading recovery, it gives me errors like "Can't mount /cache/recovery/command", "Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log", etc.
Any help appreciated.

The other weird thing is that I used odin 3.06 to flash twrp 2.8.5, or at least attempt to, download processed, device reset, but recovery is still CWM 6.0.4.3. WTH?
Ok check this thread where I just helped fix a note 2, simular to your situation ok.
Plenty of links in there for you. Keep in mind everything in this thread I'm sending you too it's for the AT&T i317 ok.

Which I'm sure that is what you have, posting your problem in the Att q&a thread.

Correct, it is an AT&T. I have tried the options in that thread, but I swear, nothing I flash actually "sticks". I've used odin 3.06, put the files in PDA, plugged it in in download mode, the progress bar appears on both odin and the phone, it resets, it reboots, and nada. Hung.
I can't even flash a replacement recovery, nothing "sticks". I've used KIES to flash, it tells me it's successful, but I still have CWM 6.0.4.3. I've tried the original 4.1.1, NJ1 (rooted), I've tried flashing a bootloader, then tried the one with the param file attached, I downloaded a pit file, followed the directions on that page with the Re-partition option, and I still can't get anywhere with it.
If I cold even just get a different recovery installed, just so that I *know*, my odin is OK, then I'd feel better about making progress.
I've tried to flash philz_touch 6.48.4, openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5 through odin, and I can't even get the CWM recovery replaced. Odin reports success, reboots the device, frozen.
I swear, if this was one of my servers at work, I'd figured the NSA has hacked the firmware to just discard writes and report back success.
I'm not crystal clear in ODIN how to flash bootloaders, on one hand, presumably, the "bootloader" button, but one guide shows the bootloader file being put in PDA, so who knows. I may have ended up with a bootloader mismatch, but I thought flashing the latest stock recoveries.
FWIW, the phone was running Dirty Unicorn, although I'm unsure of specifically which version, she's had it for a while.
Thanks for any help.
Just realized something.
If I hold down the power/vol down/home and boot into download mode, I get the little red "odin mode" at the top left, 4 lines of text about custom, etc, and then the green android icon.
If I boot into recovery, then use it to boot into download mode, the green android is there, but none of the text (odin mode, etc) is on the screen. Is this normal?
I have also been having some strangeness with my Telus Note II. Very similar symptoms to what you're describing. One morning I woke up to my phone stuck on the Samsung logo as the phone must have rebooted itself overnight. When I tried to reboot it would freeze at the same spot once again. I tried to go into recover (TWRP) and it wouldn't, and a subsequent reboot left me in a boot loop.
Nothing I tried would help. I couldn't get into TWRP. Using ODIN 3.07 I put on CWM and I was able to get into recovery now, but nothing in it worked. Finally I tried using ODIN to put on CF-Auto-Root-t0ltecan-t0ltevl-sghi317m and I was finally able to get into a recovery that allowed me to do a factory reset. Once I did that I was able to boot up the phone.
I then re-installed TWRP and restored a back up that I had, and everything was normal again. The phone was running great. However, sometime at night things get messed up again. The phone has either reboot itself, and get's stuck again. I then have to repeat this whole process. During the day, the phone runs amazing. It almost seems to run better than before. However at night, if I'm on battery it will get messed up again.
I hope this helps you. Good luck.
have you tried all this using the same computer and usb cable? i would try a different computer, port, usb and re download all files again. perhaps use a different version of odin. good luck:fingers-crossed:
It's the same computer and cable I do my Note 3, and kindle fire 8.9, and with a different cable my nook HD, so I'm skeptical that it's any of those pieces, but for the heckuvit, I will try a different one.
