Error [140]: Bootloader version error?

Hey all, I originally had Damage 3.2.2 installed, had wimax update, and the new radio, everything was fine, I am now trying to restore everything back to factory with the HTC Android ROM update utility, v1.0.2.10. I plug it in, go through the steps, it starts to wipe everything, then when it starts copying files it gives me this error. So when it canceled and the phone rebooted, it was just stuck on the white evo screen and loops. I figured it was just because of the new update and all, so I was still able, (thanks god) to flash over Bugless V03. Tryed to use the utility again, and still gives the error. Can anyone help get me back to factory please? thanks for the help I would like to go get my new EVO with out any worry.

So you still have root and access to the recovery console? Odd that you are having problems restoring. Instead of using the exe file, I believe you can flash the zip file using the phones built in hboot menu instead. I don't think it will check the software version first, it's worth a shot. I think you have to name it PC36IMG.zip I think. I would find the exact info but I'm not on a pc at the moment.

I didnt use the OTA update, I flashed Damage 3.2.2, it never effected my ROOT or NAND, I just need to get it back to factory so I can return my phone for a new one. They got one waitin on me to pick up tomorrow afternoon. I have to work all day so I have to either stay up, and figure this out or, if I cant figure something out then I will have to cross my fingers when I go up there tomorrow. I have already spoke with a rep in person, he seemed cool. He looked at my phone for a good minute, scrolled through a few things, I couldnt see what it was, but he just handed it back to me and told me to just come back tomorrow at the same time, and hell swap it. I didnt realize it but I was already on a list for the phone, so Im gettin it either way I guess. I just dont want anything to happen when I go up there. Even if I could just flash over something updated or not just looked "stock" maybe I can just slip in and out.

Ahh okay. Well, look around for the zip format of the exe file in the "how to go back to stock" thread a few posts down.

I see that thread, but all I do see is just the .exe files, no zip. There isnt just a installer like with the old version, I have the older exe, before I flashed damage3.2.2 I could easily go back to factory by running that exe and goin through the steps

Alright, this is what I was talking about, I posted it in another thread:
I think he can try restoring to factory.
Download this:
http://www.joeyconway.me/evo/stock/R...253_signed.zip
Rename it PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of the SD card.
Turn off the phone, hold volume down and turn it on, it should boot into hboot, sort of a factory recovery
It will automatically detect the zip file and ask if you want to apply it. Select yes, and it should restore to factory.
If you continue to have problems, then there is probably something wrong with the phone and it'll need to be returned.

You can give that a shot I guess. There are quite a few posts today in the Q&A section with problems, and they all have one thing in common: Damage Control ROM.

Well sorry if I am cluttering I didnt even know that the bootloader was changed which I guess is what the problem is. I guess this is what I get for being impatient. Thanks for the help chuk. If all ells fails cross your fingers for me.

This guy is atroll
Bootloader was updated with nw ota. Ur applying an old ruu and getting an errir, that's 100% normal you can't roll.back with ruu. Search the board for ducks sake, look at all the threads about rooting nw ota. This is there problem. Just flash another update zip first then u can ruu back.

Yup, that would do it. Hope you can get it worked out before you take it back.

If you still have recovery flash dc 3.2. This should rest you bootlegger.
Then run a ruu.

Nooo, I think that is a different file. You can try searching for the link i tried go link that doesn't work, but I doubt it will work if you updated the boot loader. The method I was suggesting would have restored to stock, but with a newer bootloader I'm not sure what to do exactly.
Edit:
If damage control 3.2 has an older bootloader it should work, give it a go.

I had a nan backup of 3.2 but I erased it like a dumbo after I was comfy with 3.2.2

If you still have NAND unlock, then try this starting at step 2. This will enable you to downgrade.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701835 <---link

Yeeeah.... Flashed 3.2 and sent me into boot loops. I dont understand why bugless v3 would work, but not this one?

Your not nand unlocked anymore mostlikely.
Did u wipe between newer and older rom

Did you install the adb drivers on your pc? If adb isnt working, how did you get the info to give htc for the unlock code?

yea
like i said it works up the the point that i have to put in the fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin command

That is strange, do other fastboot commands still work? If you type fastboot devices, does it show your serial?
When flashing the unlock code does it give any certain error, or just
hang?
Is usb debugging enabled?

hey
ok what is happaning is adb shows my phone when it is normally running but when it is in bootloader or fastboot it doesent get reconized

Ok you may need to install the driver for that too. On your computer go to device manager with the phone in hboot/fastboot. See if the driver is installed. Its the same driver as the last driver you installed for regular adb, but you have to install it for both one in each mode. Hope you get what im saying.

yea
what driver should i be using?

The same one you used for the regular adb. If you dont have it still you can use these http://dinc.does-it.net/ADB/ADB_Drivers.zip

Not sure, it has to be a driver issue on the pc. Try uninstalling all the drivers, and restarting from scratch. Install the driver with the phone on and booted, then install same driver while in hboot/fastboot. Mabey take a break and come back to it, if you stare at it too long you start becoming a zombie and make mistakes.

yea
that still didint work, i have the drivers all of the updats and i just cant get it to reconize it

[Q] Did I also brick my phone?

I think i know how you hardbricked your G3
Its because you wrote the G2 versions of the android bootloader, kernel and download mode partition
Its because of these commands below. It would have copied these partitions to your phone and then written them to your device
adb.exe push aboot.img /data/local/tmp/aboot.img
adb.exe push laf.img /data/local/tmp/laf.img
adb.exe push boot.img /data/local/tmp/boot.img
adb.exe push recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
You can follow this guide instead with the D855 TOT+DLL but im doubtful it will work. This methods seems to be hit and miss http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772199
If it also wrote the System Bootlooder your phone would have automatically kicked into QHUSB_DLOAD and that is alot easier to fix than this

Hello,
You need to read this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...signing-boot-images-android-verified-t3600606
The thread contains a zip (verified boot signer v2 zip) that you must install right after you install the TWRP zip on latest May version...
This is weird your phone is not recognized while in bootloader.
Boot the bootloader and issue:
fastboot devices
Does it output your serial number in the command prompt?
Good luck...

Thank for your answer. The real problem was that in fastboot the phone is not recognised. There were no serial number. And I write in past because I could made it work.
I am very happy you worried about me. You have a new friend in Spain.

Hey,
No problem. Glad you solved it by yourself anyway. What was the issue? Maybe others with the same problem could benefit from your experience?
Why your computer didn't recognized your phone while in bootloader?

You shouldn't be modding you're device if you have to rely on a toolkit to save you. What if there wasn't a toolkit. You'd be SOL.
I highly recommend you learn how to use fastboot and adb, and do this stuff the right way. I'm not trying to be mean or anything. I just would hate to see you brick you're device. These pixel phones cost way too much to be screwing around with if you don't know what you're doing.

Honestly the best way I found to learn adb and fastboot is YouTube. It's so much easier to watch how to do it. Thats how I learned. There's also @Heisenberg 6p guide. That can get you all setup for adb and fastboot too. It's very comprehensive.

flash stock firmware with locked device?

I bought my buddy a phone to use while he was working with me. 4 days later he quits and didn't want to give the phone up so he wiped it while logging in locking the phone. I bought the phone used off Facebook perfectly unlocked so no receipts or anything. I know that pretty much stops me from proving this is my phone but my question is if it's possible to just flash the stock firmware over the already stock firmware, wiping the phone? I've done all the little tricks and have gotten in the settings, installed test dpc etc but it has the newest security patch and I can't get it unlocked that way. Any help would be really really appreciated. I don't really like moto phones and id like to recoup some cash from it.

Anyone? I would even take the paid service route if anyone could tell me it's possible. I've gotten into the settings but none of the usual apps or tricks work to bypass the lock. I know this is a grey area because of security issues but man im having a hard time accepting this thing as paper weight
