ARGH Bricked -> YEAH Unbricked - HTC Wildfire S

So, I bricked my phone. I installed latest OTA and now my hboot is 1.08.0000 again. these are the problems:
- recovery was reset to stock
- unlocked bl locked again
- system partition messed up, stucking in bootloop even after factory reset
- can not create goldcard bc. no adb access.
so has anyone an idea?

Are you able to boot to hboot > fastboot usb?
If so, unlock your bootloader with HTCdev again.
Then push CWM recovery to it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469928
and do a full wipe.

The FOTA changed my software number. Flashing the HTCDEV RUU does not work anymore.

Please elaborate on 'FOTA', what did you do exactly? Were you on a stock rom rooted or?
Find the hboot RUU update to match the new software from the htcdev site.

I was on a stock rom. I updated normally and somehow my system partition get screwed. so I am stick in bootloop and factory reset does not work.
As I already told, the ruu update from htcdev does not work anymore on my device, because my software number was changed and HTC did not update the ruus for the new software version.
Actually I'm experienced with flashing. But it really screwed up my whole device ...

Xtc clip may be a solution.

Yes, it would. If no one has a brilliant idea it is the only solution.
damn, so expensive. the clip costs 1/3 of the phone's full price

hmmm, you could check in an unlock shop. normally around £10 to clip.
you could ask for htc to repair as part of warranty - as it was their own FOTA that ruined it. but don't know if it can be claimed like that..
can't you access fastboot? or adb via hboot or something?

isn't there any shop that will unlock it for 10 bucks ? that's how i did it ... and it is not in any way third of the phone ... (or having unlocking in you shop is forbidden by the law in your country ? )

Well, A new WFS cost about 180€ here. XTC Clip with shipping 52€
so it is almost 1/3 of the new price.
and in germany we don't have phone shops having a clip, in fact it IS kind of illegal (at least if an official shop does it for money)
I'll try to find a clipper and if nothing helps I will have to buy the clip ...

try to find some guy that works on 'black market' then ... well if its 50 euro, it would be cheaper to send it to me and i go unlock it in shop, and send u back than buying it ffs... that sucks .... Do you have any friend that you trust in ex-yu, here it's still legal ...

I found a guy who has a clip and lives in berlin like me. I wrote him a pn in a different forum, now waiting for an answer. hope to get one soon. then I can just go there, clip it and go back. otherwise I will just buy the damn clip

thanks. will keep you up to date in this thread

Just to let you no you don't need to create a gold card I don't and hboot will still flash the PG76IMGA.zip so try downloading a eu ruu and rename the rom.zip to PG76IMG.zip and copy it to the root of your sdcard then boot into hboot and follow its instructions hope it helps

If your using gsm, have you tried any 1 of the 3 euro roms?

thx eoghan, tried that already yesterday. problem is, now my software no. is 2.13.403, so installing 2.13.402 leads to a main version is older error.

In the mean time of waiting to s-off I contacted htcdev support. I just told them my phone came with 2.13.403 and they may help me. I hope they don't look if it has been unlocked already

If it's relocked, they may have no clue. Just because you signed up and installed the new hboot..

Ever since the 2.13.401.3 FOTA was released I told you, that I was negotiating with HTC to get officially unlocked bootloader for this version because FOTA reset the HBOOT.
Fortunately, now HTC heard our (especially MY prayer) and provided us with a new RUU for the latest version.
AND IT ALSO REVIVED MY PHONE
so, PAAAAAAARTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

S-off official htc dev team

Just came across htcdev.com, I guess this is the official htc DEV team who have releAsed the bootloader unlock, another words to change S-on to S-off. I'm sure many of you probably have seen this. But is it possible to use this unlocker for wildfire s even though it's not on the list. can anyone make comments please ?

I didnt try..but i don't think its possible. In my opinion the unlocking process will validate your phone model and ROM version before going further
Simple answer to anything you people say:
No.
You need an xtc clip, or take your phone to a shop to get it unlocked/debranded.
sent using tapatalk
Not possible yet. A software update is required to include the command to display token information which htc then work their magic with and provide the method to unlock.

and will not recommend doing that, else, you want your phone to be a paperweight
let's hope htcdev releases unlocking of the bootloader soon.
Just noticed the flyer's been added to the list, looks like they're churning more out
re
Hello, who contacted HTC to see if the wildfire will be released s ... their response was that all phones will be released but little by little. We can expect the release of our phone without knowing the exact date patience is in order .... (Crowns my English translated with google)

Yes i hav also noticed they have updated and added few more device. hope WFS will be listed soon
I Searched for it too
I have been looking for the G13 unlocking tools,
result = 0
unbelievable!
I guess it's just not that popular, unworth the time for big players.
pity~~~
but what i think is that stock ROM is good enuf.
So when an FOTA update comes on our phone, we confirm that we can soon unlock it!!!
wildfire s
Today i went to 2 phone unlock shops but they have treid to unlock
the phone, but they cannot help me, the phone is still locked
So also we have to wait till someone has the sollution
You should have asked them to use the XTC clip.

S-Off problem since bootloader unlock

Firstly i woke this morning to find out HTC has unlocked our bootloaders which is fantastic. So like everybody else i immediately followed the instructions and unlocked it... (piece of cake)
But i was in town today and thought well now the bootloader is unlocked i'll get s-off aswell then i'm free from everything.
Went to the shop asked the guy and he had a xtc-clip and made the gold card what he thought was switching s-off.
But later after getting back home i noticed to my horror that S-ON is still showing.
I still have the gold card files on my sd-card.
Is there anything i can do to turn s-off now? do i still need the clip? would a bootloader change maybe work?
Please help if you can people
Many Thanks
You still need clip. goldcard is useless without the clip's SIM-Card simulator

Thank you for verifying that this update likely patches XTC exploit though. Fine if it's exploited then you unlock but not the other way around. I had my suspicions of this.
Think I'll stick with HBOOT 1.08 and skip the 1.08.099
As the other gent said. You need the sim dummy in place to S-OFF the phone. Go back to the shop and get him to do it again.
If not try downgrading to 1.08 hboot by performing a Euro RUU 2.3.5 update then go back to the shop. He shouldn't charge you to do it again. Just don't mention your little upgrade and unlock...

RUU 2.3.5 Update does not work any more after updating hboot
Oh i've been back twice since i found out that S was still on. The guy didnt even know what the S flag was about as he was more of a iphone lover. so thats why i asked him to redo it for me and i'll have the files on my sd card.
I read somewhere on a forum in the last hour that the clip sometimes doesnt sit in the sim slot correctly causing the clip not to function correctly. So that was probably the case.
If i reflashed a lower ruu wouldnt that then relock the bootloader? Just a thought.
Has anybody got a link to the ruu that had the 1.08 bootloader and not the 1.08.099 version?
oh sorry i know lots of questions but one thing i did know when he did the gold card and had the connection into the phone the CLIP was powered off a USB connection but i'm sure ive read somewhere that it needs to be powered by a 9v battery is that correct?
Anyway i have to wait now until monday before i can do anything.......
would liked to have flashed a new rom tonight but obviously cant

Might be worth the moderators putting a notice up about the possibility that HTC whilst unlocking the bootloader have patched the CLIPS S-OFF function until we get some more information on it

I think the first step is to go back to that shop and get the guy to try S-OFF again and see if he just didn't clip it right. Seems odd that he wouldn't verify it at the time.
Anyone worth their salt would have rebooted to hboot and checked...
I'd rather that then sound a general alarm.

As i said he doesnt actually know what S-OFF/S-ON is...... i did actually have a right go at him, when he said "oh i've been in the mobile phone business for years"

The flash started and then gave an error message " Failed: -2, 8: fail to flash via downloadzip " The phone is stuck at the htc white startup screen. The phone is S-ON and the bootloader is relocked. I can reboot into download mode. I tried to unlock the bootloader but I get an error. Is there any way out of this?

Yes, S-OFF would probably solve your problem since you were able to downgrade your firmware with older RUUs if your phone was S-OFF. Nevertheless you need a working system and root because the only way to achieve S-OFF on the M9 is the sunshine app. Ignore what I wrote in the last sentence. I forgot that you can get S-OFF by using a java card. However I have no expierences with java cards so I can't tell you whether there are conditions that need to be fulfilled if you want to use one.

Sunshine needs an unlocked bootloader, root and a booting system on the M9. So it's not an option in your current situation.
You can buy a java card on your own (I know that's a bad suggestion because they're so expensive) or you look for someone who owns one and does not live in the States. Some phone repair shops here in Germany advertise that they do java card service so I highly doubt that they are only available in the US.
Edit: Or as said before, you can use the RUU service I linked in post #4.

Thanks for your patience. Looks like the RUU service you referenced is my best chance to get my phone working. Thanks for the link - I wouldn't have thought of looking for that. I can't find any prices to buy a Java card. I get the impression it would be cheaper to buy a new phone! There are lots of posts about sending your phone off to somebody that already has a Java card. They all seem to be in the States. I've learnt an expensive lesson - make sure that the RUU you're going to flash is good before you flash it! Or stick with OTAs!
Many thanks for your help.

The 2.10.401.1 RUU does exist. Unfortunately it seems that the file I downloaded was partially corrupted.

What can i flash over 2.9.841.2

I am trying to revert my M9 as much as possible to stock. I am really annoyed by the red warning on start up.
Currently it is 2.9.841.2
Is there any way to figure out which RUU i can flash on the device? I am currently downloading 0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_L50_SENSE70_Telstra_WWE_1.32.841.7_R_Radio_01.01_U11440261_56.01.50303G_3_F_release_425231_signed but was hoping to find something without Telstra branding.
TIA

Come on guy, maybe these 75 persons had no answer, not enough time to type a text or any other reason why he or she didn't help. This is not a chat where you can expect immediate answers.
But let's get back to the topic: Are you S-ON or S-OFF? (If you don't know you're probably S-ON.) With S-ON it's not possible to downgrade or to flash RUUs with a different SKU (the 841 stands for your Telstra branding). So you won't be able to use the RUU you mentioned in your first post. Either you look for a RUU with firmware version 2.9.841.2 or higher or you pay the 25 USD to get S-OFF via Sunshine. With S-OFF you could flash an unbranded RUU. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but Telstra is an Australian carrier, right? The Australian unbranded SKU would be 710. If you prefer the unbranded World Wide English version you should look for the 401.)

Thank you for the reply. I am in Australia. And i am S-ON unfortunately.
The de-branding is not even the biggest issue but what i really want is to get rid of the warning that it is a developer device on start up. Unfortunately this phone was sold to me the way it is. I have spent the last ween looking for the RUU of same or higher version but wasn't able to find even the one i am on

Well, at the moment I see three options you can choose from:
Get S-OFF via Sunshine and downgrade/debrand your phone. (25 USD)
Use the RUU service on llabtoofer's website. (don't know the price)
Hope that someone who already has an account can get you the 2.9.841.5 RUU from ir-file.
I know someone who might be able to help you with option 3 but I cannot guarantee anything. For example the 2.10.401.1 RUU from ir-file was corrupted/broken and because of that not flashable. In the worst case the 2.9.841.5 RUU might not work, either. (Nonetheless you would still be able to choose option 1 or 2 in that case.)

If nothing goes wrong the 2.9.841.5 RUU should be downloadable in around 4 hours.

Why is everbody trying to unzip RUUs? Only because it's a *.zip file that doesn't mean that you should unzip it. Do you unzip rom archives, too, before you flash them with TWRP? Look at my signature and follow the instructions in the google sheet.
Thank you so much. After i gave up trying to unpack it and looked up how to do it, it worked like a charm.

Need stock RRU recovery for Vodafone 2.10.161.7

I currently soft bricked my phone after trying to restore my phone back to complete stock ROM to the point the OS wont boot up, instead the red triangle comes up, I'm looking for the RRU for Vodafone as because I'm currently S-On which means I can't upgrade or downgrade my firmware. I have the stock recovery image but can't find the RRU after much looking around the forums and googling I unfortunately found dead links. I need a little help
I'm sorry I'm a little new to rooting, but i will answer questions however I can
Regards!
You can find the 1.32.161.15 RUU for your M9 on androidruu. Just search the M9 library and update afterwards.

Thanks for the fast reply, I found the same RRU updating utility in a forums here too, but I get the error 115 when trying to update which is odd even after relocking the bootloader. This is why I need one for the version I'm running as I think the reason me being stuck now on S-On is causing issues.
Still really needing that RRU, I have an expensive paperweight here and no phone so some help would really be appreciated

Only find this 1.40.161.8 RUU
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347798272
I also need 2.10.161.7 or newer.
I relocked my bootloater + updating the firmwarepart to 2.10.161.7.
So I can not use it anymore.
Sunshine isn't an option, because no system is up and running. XTC2Clip is too expensive to get the HTC in S-OFF Mode. There isn't an other method at this time, right?
I can only send it to the RUU Service, but I am from Germany.
Maybe here is someone near Düsseldorf who can S-OFF my device with his XTC2Clip?
Thanks

You will have to pay about 14.00 euro

Someone already tried it? Don't want to spend money for a file, which won't help me out.

Unless your phone is S-OFF you can't use that RUU. It's a "combined" one which means it's custom made and not signed by HTC. S-ON phones only accept files which are signed by HTC. Btw.: That's the reason why you need S-OFF for Sneakyghost's firmware packs, too.
