[Q] Bootloader Unlock problem-ERROR[190]-ROM version is not the latest version

Hi, I am trying to Unlock Bootloader on my Wildfire S. But I have problem with updating HBOOT. I have downloaded from HTCdev pages HTC EU RUU file (which corresponds to my versions). But during update I get this error:
ERROR[190] ROM IS NOT UPDATED - Your ROM version is not the latest version. Please upgrade to 2.13.401.2 to apply this RUU to be able to unlock your bootloader.
But screen before shows me that I have correct version:
Verify that you want to update the ROM version from: 2.13.401.2 to 2.17.0.0
I have updated Android version to 2.3.5 by FOTA update. Maybe that can be the cause of my error.
I have also tried
- different versions of RRU file.
- apply full update to 2.3.5 (RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2) - error[140] - bootloader version error
- manual update of HBOOT from SDcard (error message- Main version is older! Update fail!)
Do you have anybody some hint what else can I try please?

probably misc image version is other as it should be, i fought with this problem 2hours, i wrote somewhere guide, if u want i will pm it to u

Hello,
I was about to start a new thread in which I was going to write exactly what you did. I have EXACTLY the same problem.
My phone has same versions:
Software number 2.13.401.2
Model #: PG7610000
Hboot 1.08.0000
radio 7.53.39.03m
I get the same error when trying to run the RUU [190] ROM is not updated and the same error "Main version is older! Update fail!" when trying the SD card method of updating the Hboot.
My question is: is your phone locked/branded? or is it carrier free?
Mine is Orange Romania and the only thing left for me to try is with a goldcard which I have to go buy in an hour and i shall try this method later on.

My phone is non-branded, carrier free.

Hi,
I have the same problem.
My phone has this versions:

I am not sure, but if you have Hboot version 1.08.0099, you don't need to run RUU. This version should be OK for unlocking bootloader.

Hi,
In your other thread you are saying:
"I'm sure your misc version is other, like mines... to be sure u should check."
How do I check its version? I'd really appreciate your help, I\m new to this and since it says "Warning: You could probably brick your phone if you flash an invalid misc partition" I want to be sure that if i try it, then i do the correct steps.

Well, u are safe until Flash_image using, u can easly go to step 6 Step 6 and 6b shows how to Edit/Check the Version, if its other, change it and flash it. If not Leave it alone. I will add aditional cleaning Commands if all is Fine.

advanced applogies for a newb question if it is, im more of Windows Mobile/ Windows Phone/iOS person, - Chevron/Jailbreaking them seems far easyr.
Is there a way to Root this thig with HBOOT-1.03.0003 and Software: 2.29.405.14 ???

This is a question. Y u no post in questions forum?

Reported.

i cant find anything in Q&A about HBOOT-1.03.0003
i have tried UnrEVOked 3.32.
i know someone will flame me for asking this, i expected it... if u havent noticed i been with this forum since 2007, and i do know how to use Q&A and i would not be asking a question if it was a simple matter...
unless u can point me to the right tool or guide for HBOOT-1.03.0003 with S-ON, u can save flaming to yourself

Sorry to bring you a bit of bad news... the official HTC S-OFF is a real *****! There's no patch for HBOOT-1.03.0003 out there yet and I don't know if there will ever be one. You can try writing to the guys doing Revolutionary (i.e. Alpharev and Unrevoked) and see if they plan on patching this new HBOOT version.

to get a s-off... goldcard and downgrade

Yeah, if he has one. IIRC goldcard was only an instrument in rooting branded phones? The error code would mention incorrect CID or something like that.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

Goldcard didnt work, it says somthing like no image or wrong image after a bar on right hand side goes up....
also quick question is Reversing CID from CMD is just like 12a456 to 654a21 or is it something else, coz http://hexrev.soaa.me/ gives me some other result.
aka my CID from cmd is
1e41425553442xxxx0058003fd00a5f6 so reverse shuld be
6f5a00df3008500xxxx24435552414e1
and then replace first too with 00
but that site gives me 00a500fd038005xxxx2044535542411e
im a litttle confused :s

and just to be clear i now have UNlocked Bootloader (officeal by HTC) what tools are compatible with that for me to be able to flash ?

Use yours just be careful, triple check everything you doing
Btw... All tools are up to hboot 1.02, unlocked bootloader is not s-off

[Q] Downgrade hboot 2.18 Evo 4g

If I have a evo running 2.3.3 and my hboot is 2.18.0001,is there any way to downgrade or root my phone as it is? Or do I have to wait til revolutionary updates?

To downgrade your hboot, you would need full root, which you cannot fully root that hboot yet.

Not true. That HBOOT is unlockable with the HTCDev.com site, and NAND unlock is possible with the process outlined here.
However, if the OP is on that HBOOT, the OP should also be running Android 2.3.5, so I'm curious as to how that's not the case.

Are you sure? Can you post screenshots of your HBOOT screen, and your Software Information screen? The new OTA (that included the 2.18 HBOOT) upgraded the Android version to 2.3.5.

Do not downgrade your hboot. There is no reason to whatsoever unless you r trying to brick your phone.

There are a couple of Dev's working on this so at this point is only a matter of time before you can root.

go to settings/about phone/software info.
this should show you that you have 2.3.5 especially if you have hboot 2.18
and yes you can root hboot 2.18 by unlocking your bootlaoder then downgrading your hboot to 2.10 then root your phone with unrevoked. captain throwback has found a way to do this.

Its already rootable HTCDEV will unlock the bootloader then you can manage s-off from there, revolutionary does not work with 2.18 and its locked up pretty tight without using the HTCDEV method
Edit: and downgrading your bootloader is about a 99.99999999% chance of a brick as they screw with the partitions when they update hboot now so downgrading jams up the NAND partition and you get stuck in hboot only no recovery no fastboot no rom no phone just a nice paperweight/oddly shaped hockey puck

I think it's suppose to be 2.3.5/2.18 and 2.3.3/2.15 or 2.16? and how my "knoob" self knew was a method from this THREAD?

Unless I'm blind, and I very well could be the EVO 4G Sprint model is not on the list of supported phones at htcdev.com. if anyone has used the htcdev.com method with success I would love to hear about it because I'm in the same boat as the OP. Thx

The method works. You have to scroll down the menu of supported devices and click on "ALL OTHER SUPPORTED MODELS at the bottom of the "SELECT YOUR DEVICE" menu.

So I get to where I need to downgrade or flash the hboot and so I start my phone, phone boots in to bootloader and checks the sd sees the file loads the file checks it again then nothing nothing happens. Before you ask I have done all the steps before just trying to s-off the bootloader for well... idr why now but I will and need it off for something lol been doing this the past three hours repeated the step mult times samething everytime download the file mult times any ideas?

pesky lil s-off
ok ok i jsut got my phone back from sprint they put the phone back to solid workign order ive got amon ra flashed (RA-supersonic-v4.3-smelkusMOD)
And that flashed with trouble i had to flash the zip with fastboot.
and i THOUGHT that after that was flashed and in working order i could just flash SU and be done with it all but no... i cant for the life of me get s-off.
this is what i get in bootloader:

I had my bootloader screen looking exactly like that and I followed this guide and it worked great. Make sure you read up earlier in the guide and make sure you have the drivers it says installed. My phone would connect before I installed the drivers, but in order to do the things you need to with the phone, you have to install those drivers. After you have the bootloader unlocked via HTCdev (looks like you do), just start on setp 34, and you'll be good to go.

Driving me wild (fire)

Hiya folks!
I unlocked my daughter Wildfire S hboot via HTC-Dev when it was first released and upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 EU to get rid of the 3 bloatware on the original rom, I did not root at the time as it was still in its very infant stage and did not wish to give my daughter my Rooted Desire through bricking hers!
Now the time has come to root as she is constantly telling me of a space shortage...I know we've all been there..so thinking the Hboot was still unlocked I ran through HTC super tool 3 , tried a couple of times with no success so realized there must be something I've missed, I checked the hboot was still unlocked in the pink text I believe it was to find that it no longer states unlocked, locked or any extra text just,

Go to htcdev and follow instructions to unlock your bootloader.Once it's unlocked, you should see "UNLOCKED" at the top when you boot ur phone.
And then you can root the phone.

OK Ta I wondered if I had to do it again, I guess as I have already updated to 2.3.5 from the first time I can skip that part and precede to straight step 1 ?

Did you tried this? I had problem with rooting my wfs, I can't find script i used right now. I'll update this post if i will find it.

What happened is that the 2.3.5 update changed your HBOOT from the previous one.......Go to htcdev.com start the unlock process and when prompted to download an RUU........ just download the RUU with the software more than the one you are having..... in your case the Europe RUU and just follow the instructions thereafter.....

Right got 'ERROR 190 ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED' please upgrade to 2.13.401.3 to apply this RUU, can I use a different RUU csoulr66 other than EU?
Wish I'd done this in one hit rather than in parts! Thanks in advance all!!!

You're 100% sure that you grabbed proper RUU? According to error you get and htcdev it should be this:
HTC EU 2.13.401.3 PG7610000 - sry can't give you direct link because of forum limitation for users under 8 posts

have you made a goldcard????? Because you will need one to run an RUU

I have a unlocked phone but I never hear about goldcard, are you sure it's needed ?

A goldcard is used to debrand the CID. Without a goldcard, you cant install diags/downgrade/etc because the CID is branded with your carrier.

I had this problem originally, all you have to do is run a stock rom RUU (From the list supplied by football in the stickies) with a goldcard. Then go back to the HTC dev website and upgrade the hboot.

you have android 2.3.3 strange.its very old.try to update your phone by OTA.then you will get new version which is 2.26 so you no need to update your rom version via htcdev (you can skip that part) and then unlocked bootloader easily and then root your phone.
for OTA. go to system settings>about phone>software updates and update your phone.

oh little confuse because htc released 2.3.5 update in 2011 i think after i bought my phone and also htc released one another update in 2012 for software.
so if you owned wildfire s,it should be updated. try to do factory reset and then might it ll update.give it a shot.
without update you can't root your phone because htc unlocked phones which have atleast firmware 2.13 (android 2.3.5).
good luck

I made factory reset, it helps, phone update it self to 2.3.5 and now i gave him a new life with CM .
Thanks for helping

you dont need to update your hboot.its already updated i guess.
check your software number in phone its like 2.26.401.3 okay.
when you go to htcdev you should skip that part because your phone has latest 2.26 update..that bootloader update part is only for who have 2.13 software version.
