now here is my quetion：
my hboot is 0.85，and i tried the asia and wwe sense 3.0 custom rom，but it‘s always stayed at the first screen，what’s wrong？
is the kernel problem that does not match my hboot ，or something else？
my recovery is 4EXT touch beta 7
Make sure in bootloader that it's written ENG S-OFF at the top of the screen.
It can't be a kernel problem, it's not loaded when you're in bootloader or recovery.
Explain how you try to change your ROM. From recovery, which version, with ADB, fastboot... Maybe try to follow the instructions on the first post of the thread where you find the ROM.

And also check which DHD you have.
Mine is not the one for China Mobile. So make sure that the ROM you will find here works also on the CDMA version.
My European DHD has no 3G on China mobile, only with Unicom (WCDMA).
I don't know if the China Mobile on is the same as for US market.
Maybe it works, maybe not Anyway, nandroid backup is always the first thing to do.

I have a stupid question, Do i need to have S-OFF to install a not branded(like tmobile) but official ROM ? (RUU one etc.) ?
No you just need to create a goldcard first if your phone is branded.
You'll find how to created one here :

If the RUU number is higher i think you can upgrade no problem without a goldcard but might have to be same region as your original rom.

Use goldcard for update
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using XDA App
I'm trying to do this update. It will download it to the sd card perfectly fine. after it reboots the phone to apply the update, it start to load something for less than a second(loading bar at bottom), then just sits there at the android with the exclamation mark triangle and doesn't do anything else.
I have the HTC_A510c model. Virgin Mobile USA CDMA phone. I have the gold card created, s-off, rooted, and clockworkmod custom recovery installed.
The file the update downloaded is called OTA_Marvel_C_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.02.652.00-1.01.652.20_release_220163t0ppyzj10xds3ff7.zip, if I was to rename the file to PG76IMG.zip, then boot into HBOOT(vol down and power), would that work properly to apply the update?? Or should I try to update it through the clockworkmod recovery using either the update with zip, or install zip from sd card??
I'm very very new to droid stuff, On my second Wildfire S as I flashed a GSM rom onto the CDMA phone, which apparently results in a brick. any help with this would be appreciated, am I missing a step?
Exactly the same question, so I figured I'd bump this. Any help out there for the question/issue?
hold up... slow it up a notch
The OP referenced a security update from VM USA and people telling him to flash a gsm RUU to his device. The update is safe btw I got it before I rooted but please don't flash the 2.3.5 RUU. It might make for a really long day for you. Some devs are building [probably as I type this] a cdma compatible kernel. Yes HTCdev has dropped the source code as well [for WFS 2.3.5]. Just be patient, flash one of mine or simon's roms if you want to flash something, and we will have 2.3.5 before you know it.

I asked this question a few days ago because I have forgotton [I'm old]. Pretty sure you have to unroot your device, may have to flip it back to s-on, update, s-off again, root. Its a pain for a minor security update... Its not 2.3.5 Try just unrooting first. Might not have to s-on; like I said, I'm old.

If the OP is about a cdma VM USA update [although not clearly stated; it is]...then I assume the thread to be about the same. Why would this tool not help?

I havent read the whole thread so I am not sure how it does it but there were CDMA and GSM ppl, all CDMA customers succeeded but all GSM posted that failed.
I think someone here with GSM in WFS forum tested and failed too but have no time to search for it.
I can only say that I am sure for myself that it is working only on CDMA because I have checked the thread but cannot prove it to you, so anyone who wants can check it again

welp... on our own after s-off
marvelc users:
The tool I thought may help does not. at least not for OTA updates. Reason being? You do have to re-lock the bootloader (s-on) to install these updates, and this tool does not accomplish this (although it may for other devices). Also, we have no official RUU (for A510c devices) as far as I've scoured the internet for (these have been reported to switch the device back to s-on). So the old adage applies: Once you s-off your device, you are on your own. At least for now anyway. I tried the better part of the day to get this working but to no avail. The tool referenced above also does not unroot our devices (although I did accomplish this; easiest way right now is an app [in Chinese mostly] called Un-rooting on market). Sadly without a s-on, update fails same way as before. Thought I'd share.

Hi everyone,
Long story short I bricked my phone. After doing more research after the event, I learned that it probably wasn't a good idea yet since there is no stock recovery image posted as of yet. I looked through the posts on this forum to find some information, however so far it has been insufficient.
My question is, is there any update on a Rogers 1.73.631.1 stock recovery.img or does anyone have any information that can help me? My phone used to be stuck on the HTC splash screen however now my phone will only load to bootloader.
Thanks
Lock the bootloader and flash the RUU
to go short start over
Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, that list does not have my stock RUU listed as all of those are version 1.26.xxx and my Rogers version is 1.73.xxx. I've tried the disaster recovery thread and I believe because my versions dont match with any RUU listed I can't even load a stock image. Every image I try to load I get a "failed" message, including installing the system.img file from inside of those .exe files.
I desperately need any information anyone has that could help me. I apologize for not posting this in the same thread as the disaster recovery, however I need a minimum of 10 posts to post in that section. Sorry
Am I screwed for a few weeks while I wait and hope someone uploads the proper RUU? I did not get a chance to make a backup as I only got 90% of the way through the rooting process before it crashed and wont load on me. I am using a mac, however I do have access to (and have tried many solutions on) a PC if necessary.
Thanks,
MaidenFan
Hi I am stuck at the same screen
I got the bootloader unlocked and super user installed
I wanted to install Leedroid ROM so downloaded the files and used fasboot to install the version of boot.img that comes with it. Problem is that I forgot to transfer over the rom zip file to the device before doing it so now I'm stuck on this screen. I know, I just got distracted. My fault I know.
(I have successfully rooted my old desire and a wildfire in the past without bother)
I had a nandriod backup done from before flashing boot.img and tried to restore.. It says restore was successful but it it still stuck on this screen. Some help would be mighty appreciated.
EDIT:
The bootloader is now locked again but I think I still have CWM recovery installed however I can't access it anymore. I've tried unlocking the bootloader again but now it says the battery is too low. I keep trying to turn the phone off in fastboot to let it charge but it just starts up again? Any Ideas? Thanks
I've managed to sort out my phone.

If i'll just flash some Sense Rom, Will HTC notice ?
I am also interested in flashing my phone to stock version and found the proper guide.
My question is how do i know which RUU to download? there is 1.26,1.28 and 1.29.

To find the ruu you need type fastboot getvar version-main while in fastboot usb mode. It shall then give you the version you need. When it comes to recovery I would go with the earlier version just to be sure.

The warranty that you get when you make the purchase should cover the device. It should not matter really what you have installed on there as it should not affect whatever you are experiencing.
I would recommend searching the forums for discussions on this matter of warranty as I have only had brief glimpses in these discussions.
I have the same issue. Just smashed my screen and need to send the phone back but its running CM10. The email they sent me says that they will install all the latest updates so woul they just return it to stock and fix the screen?

HTC clearly say, If you unlock your bootloader, the warranty is off.
and I want them to fix the Wifi problem, which is a factory hardware problem

HI all,
I have been trying to root my HTC One M9 mobile which is branded under Vodafone. I have been scouring the internet for anything that will help, but to no avail - I have run into a couple of problems:
I don't have the Fastboot option when I go to Settings > Battery on this device
When attempting to load the Bootloader, I get the S-ON error.
I have tried using the HTCDev and when I try to do the initial fastboot i get what is shown in the attachments.
The phone is currently running Android OS 5.02... and I also had a look at this link but couldn't make heads or tails on what was done - http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/help/s-off-change-firmware-vodafone-branded-t3099330
Any ideas/help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Fast boot is actually download mode now, I know confusing.
Go to HTC Dev, then get yourself a custom recovery and then a ROM.
Done, there are quite a few guides out there mate

Although for most things you really don't need it
I've played with this phone for some time, but am tired of messing around with it and just want to get back to stock with root and unlocked bootloader as fast as possible. AKA have someone walk me through it on a screenshare/call. I'm willing to pay for the help. Not sure what someone would want to tell me what to do and help me do it. Please send me a PM and I'll update this thread when I've found someone.
Current state of things:
Bootloader unlocked
S-On
CM13 from Feb2016 installed
TWRP recovery 2.8.7.0 or thereabouts installed.
I have windows7, 10, and Linux Mint boxes depending on which you prefer. I am fairly technical, but haven't messed with things since I mucked up my phone. I never thought it would be such a pain in the a$$ to get back to stock as this is the first time I modded my phone. Just don't have time to try 1000 things or read 1000 threads. :crying:
thanks
What's your current firmware version? (boot to download mode and copy the OS version number).
I'm fairly certain that AT&T has a Windows executable RUU that will restore your phone to stock. (You'll probably need to install HTC Sync Manager to get the right drivers installed)
---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------
When you get your firmware version, the key is to only use a RUU that matches your version number or is a higher version. Downgrading is not possible for S-ON devices.
The current version is OS-2.11.502.18
