Did you get the superuser-app installed? Then you should be rooted successfully and something else is in the way.

ALso, need to know can i flash these ROMs on any phone HBOOT version?
As long as your phone is GSM and not cdma you can flash no problem.
If your phones version is newer than what your flashing you will need a goldcard.

It really wont matter.
If hboot is newer on the ruu then it will update, but if its older I think it will bypass keeping your current one.
Just flash the ruu, it will be fine.
Also the ruu will check your phone before installation for compatibility.

SO, you mean to say that if the phone region is not compatible with ruu flashing will abort with no damage caused to phone?
Yes.
Does your phone use a sim?
I'm sure it does, and if so you'll be fine as long as you don't flash any of the us ruu
If you use a similar you'll be good.

I know this forum is for wildfire s but just wanted to know if this hboot rule is applicable to chacha and desire s also?
I would think so, but I can't say I'm 100%.
Like I said the ruu will check your phone model and software, if there were a problem the installer should let you know and not go any further

So u mean to say that if HBOOT version of file is lower than HBOOT version of phone then installler will abort without any damage to phone?
It would bypass hboot if the version on your phone is newer but it should still install the rom.
The same probably applies to the radio, if you have a newer radio hboot will skip installing radio step, and proceed to the next step.
Most important thing when flashing ruu, is have enough battery and don't remove cable while flashing eg. Make sure nobody trips on your cable or you'll.have a brick on your hands
Thanks, appreciate your help

Flashing ROMs with only unlocked BL????

hey guys so i just got my inc 2 a couple days ago and of course it has the newest update and software which prevents me from downgrading to .97. So i decided to go the HTCdev unlocked BL way. Is there anyway i can flash custom ROMs and still have root access without downgrading to hboot.97?
any help is appreciated THANKS!!
sure can, if boot loader is unlocked, look here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1435228
OK here's a problem though. I cant flash the CWM recovery because i need s-off and i cant get s-off because im unable to downgrade with my new system software. Any way to flash custom roms without CWM?
What about the ext4 touchescreen recovery. I am using it and it is nice. Download the app and then it installs the recovery. Not sure if that will help I have s off so this is new to me. But might be worth a shot.

Now mine is
tsm m 5.01 ext4
the link above tells you how to flash clockworkmod, you flash the img same as a boot.img
ypu don't need s-off to flash cwmr, follow the directions from above

do you know you this is the post your talking about? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26296376&postcount=276
yeah, thats it i think, but i haven't had occasion to use it yet, so i don't know how it works, keep in mind you'll have to relock your bootloader to use it, i think. research it a little before you try
so whats the difference with having s-off compared to s-on?
you won.t have to flash a boot image everytime you install a rom, it also enables you to flash radios. you can't now. but no biggy.

Downgrade Help

In my attempt to unlock bootloader, I stupidly upgraded my software version to 3.12.405.1 while using Easy Unlock Tool, because I wasn't paying attention what it was saying in the CMD.exe. Now I'm trying to downgrade it, because I can't seem to succeed doing anything with it (Rooting, Installing CWM or changing ROM). Also, it's S-ON, so I'm trying to get it S-OFF as well.
I'm lost. Can anyone help me out here?
PS: I really don't need to be reminded that I messed up...
EDIT: I managed to root it, install CWM. What I need to do now is get S-OFF and put a custom rom (Do I really need S-OFF?).

No, but I'm all good now. I don't really need to S-OFF as I've seen in other guides, but I need to know how to flash a kernel via boot.img.

Have you installed 4ext recovery? Download 4ext from the google play, that will let you install 4ext recovery free for 3 days or something - long enough, only takes a few minutes! And roms and kernals can be flashed from there

This post should be closed, as I don't need help on downgrading anymore.

Might have bricked my phone

Stupid mistake, just trying to get a usable phone back, dunno how.
Rooted it, Recovery TWRP.
decided want a custom rom, Android Revo 20.
didnt backup, woops.
was useless, googled, needed different firmware, flashed that somehow.
phone got worse.
reinstalled TWRP
tried to download a backup, 2 even, both dont work.
not sure what to do. think i need another firmware before the backup would work.
any advice will help
currently phone turns on straight to bootloader. can access download mode and recovery.
Bootloader unlocked, S-ON, HTC__J15,

Are you S-OFF?
Did the RUU complete successfully or give you an error?
Was the firmware you flash for your Model M9 or another one?

What's your Model?
If youre S-OFF and firmware/RUU are not helping. You're probably trying to flash the wrong ones.

1.32.401.17
I tried to use 3.35.401.12 backup but it still booted to bootloader
You have to flash 3.35.401.12 firmware in download mode before using the backup
and i cant flash firmware while S-ON right? i think i tried flashing higher firmware and it gave me that error.
so ill find 1.32.401.17 backup or rom and that should work?

Vzw radio img download?

I've got my phone unlocked, rooted and S-off now I just need the vzw radio but dottat took down his links. Does anyone have it still on their pc and mind sending it to me?
bump because I changed question
you can download the latest ruu from my signature, itll get you the latest radio and firmware. you will have to reinstall twrp afterwards though to reroot. only way I can help you out. it wont effect s-off or unlocked bootloader, and also wont wipe data.

Look up what firmware is, it should be easy to find answer.
RUU is firmware + ROM.
ROM Upgrade Utility
If you are on custom ROM, this saves a step. Also when new OTA hits you can flash firmware and stay on your ROM of choice.
