please help and thx
Your phone isn't rooted. How did you manage to flash recovery onto it in first place?
Search for advanced ace hack kit on xda. Read a LOT about how to use it and once ready, let the kit do its thing. After that you'll be S OFF and able to flash any custom ROM.

He unlocked it using the official HTC dev tool. It allows you to flash a custom recovery.
This is an obligatory to the op. Please research before you go and do stuff to your phone. I just don't get how someone will take a risk on there phones.
The reason it didn't boot is because you have to flash the boot image seperately. One simply can't just flash a rom, in cwr and call it a day if you did it using HTC tool.
What you need to do is. Boot back.into hboot select fastboot.
Take the boot image from your rom and place in your folder where fastboot and adb are located.
Then run the command
Fastboot flash boot boot.Img
Fastboot reboot
Its not working

This is the AAHK (Advanced Ace Hack Kit) thread.
It is ONE click Root, S-Off & SIM unlock kit.
Read carefully, go step-by-step and than you'll be ready to go.

thanks but i only can access to Hboot menu and i can enter the clock work mode but the AAHK doesn't workout with me
Run a fitting RUU, relock your Bootloader and use AAHK afterwards.
(if you would have taken some time to get into this stuff, you wouldn't be messed up right now "Official HTC Unlock" is not that brilliant compared to AAHK ).
You say you don't know which RUU to use.
Where did you buy your phone? Was/Is it branded?

no my phone isn't branded and the version of my android was 2.3.5 , HTc sense 3.0 software number 3.13.415.2

thx for your help anyway
Try one of those, i think the latest should be fine.

ok i will thank you but do you know error "155" and how to solve it and if Ruu works with s-on or not and thx again
When do you get this 155-error?
If using a fitting RUU, it will always work afaik But I'm pretty sure.

I tried alot of RUU but they all keeps popup with error 155 and i don't know how to fix it and i don't know how to fix this problem but i really need to work it out and thx for all of you
"As far as I know"
Did you try flashing it in fastboot mode?
Get your device into bootloader and choose fastboot. Try to run the RUU again.

Ok, another idea:
You have that stock RUU fitting your phone?
Open explorer here: C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\Appdata\Local\Temp\
Then Run the RUU, it will extract the files to some folder in here, you will see it pop up when opening the RUU (or you run it and simply use search).
Inside there'll be a "rom.zip".

}
Rename it to PD98IMG.zip, push it to your SD card (in root, not into a folder) and boot your phone into bootloader.
It should check the file and then you have to select "yes" to flash it. Should be fine after it.
DN41
thx I tried to do this before but it keeps tell wrong Image
So you're a hundred percent sure, that you've got a fitting image? Cant believe that it would block a fitting image that method.
Which version did you try? Most recent one?
And BTW: would be great it you would tell before what you already tried instead of letting me explain it and then say "oh i already did that"
DN41
EDIT: I guess it doesnt take the Rom because of the high hboot version (yours is somewhere around 2, "normal" ones around 0.84). Maybe it would be the best to contact HTC's Support regarding that you used their official unlock instead of AAHK.

Hi,
I know there are a lot of other Threads about Bricked Phones but I swear, I've tried everything.
My Phone is S-Off and I had the CM7 Rom on my device.
For a Friend, who wants to buy my phone, I tried the "RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release"
and know i got the black htc screen with the 4 exclamation marks in each corner.
My Phone was original from o2 so I tried the o2 Ruu but that didn't work either.
Also My Device is with the SLCD-Screen.
I also have a Goldcard but the Goldcard seems not very helpful to me.
When I try to flash a Rom with Ruu it tells me the Error 110 on the PC and on my phone appears that

Can Somebody help me?
I tried everything for 2 days know but nothing worked.
Jesus Feckin Christ!
I can either answer this like I do every single day of my life, or I can tell you to use search....
Hmmmm. What to do?
Maybe we can play a little game? Yes thats it.
Clue 1. Alpharev / Revolutionary hboots have write protection.......
OMG Thank you so so much for this brilliant idea.
What do you think have I done the last 2 days?
2 Days of writing this post?
I've tried everything which I could FIND by using Search but nothing helped.
When you can help me, thank you.
Please don't waste my time with upolished posts.
I can help you. I know the answer. I post the answer every day. Did clue 1 not help?
Give a man a fish and he can feed himself for a day. Give a man a logical and methodical approach to resolving problems and he can fix his desire for life.

I'm sorry for taking it out on you, but this really is asked EVERY day and its so obvious why it doesnt work...
Command back.
Ok, its early in the morning for me so sorry.
I'm not so experienced like you with the whole development-stuff.
When I change something on my device I read something in threads and try it step by step but i don't really understand what I'm doing like most people.
I understand its annoying to answer the same problems so often but i would appreciate it if you could help me one more time.
Aww you're being so nice. I wanted to give you another clue, but ok...
You have the CM7 R2 hboot. This is too small for a sense rom, the /system partition will not accomodate the /system of a sense rom. Which is why you see the [fail]
Because the hboot is write protected, the RUU couldn't over write it with the stock hboot first.
What you need to do is download the downgrade.img from alpharev and fastboot flash it as a hboot.
Then you can simply run the RUU again.
Thank you so much.
one last question. Do i have to put the downgrade.img on my sd card and start normal or how can i flash is a hboot?
follow the red link in my signature for my guides. There is an adb and fastboot faq. Ignore the adb part as its irrelevant.
This will tell you how to use fastboot. Most people tend to go for using the windows application that is linked in there.
One of those déjà vu threads.
Is the bravo_downgrade.img only 512kb small?
i tried it with the android flasher.
When i plug my phone off the usb its shows my device is know s-on (so good for that).
But the Ruu.exe don't work.
Still stuck on the exclamationmark screen.
Now I still got a Goldcard. To use it, do i have to put the goldcard only in my device and run the ruu.exe again or do I have to do something different?
I got the failure 131 in the Ruu Update-Window
Does anybody know what else i can do?
You just put the goldcard in and RUU. Or use the 2.3.3 from the HTCdev.com as it doesn't need a goldcard
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
How can i use the 2.3.3 from htcdev.com
Should I run the Unlock Bootloader?
What does I have to do?
You have to fastboot flash the downgrade.img and in fastboot still, run RUU
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
Has Somebody the Link for the right RUU?
I've treid everything i could find but non of them worked.
I bought my desire in Germany with an O2-Contract. Originally is was a froyo rom.
Still hanging on the exclamation mark screen.
After i plug the usb off it shows:
Braveo PVt4 Ship S-On

RUU
does this mean the falsh of the downgrad.img didn't work?
Well the fact that you're S-ON would in fact suggest that it has worked (kinda a d'uuh moment there).. tried different RUU? tried 2.3.3 RUU?
all the advice that one can give to you has already been given. put it into practise.
try different RUU to see which fits to your phone

Just trying is not a good idea here!
Nevertheless, I totally agree with bortak.
can you give me the link of this legendary RUU 2.3.3 ?
I think one of the side effects of XDA 's popularity, is that it has become huge and makes searching for direct answers time consuming in some scenarios
Anyway I digress, here's what Im looking to do...
I have an unbranded DHD (no carrier branding) here in the UK and have a requirement to send it to HTC to have dust cleaned from beneath the screen...
what Im looking for is:
1) A link to the latest unbranded ruu to return me to stock rom
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
(not sure which one I need from this huge list, as there are no descriptions)
2) The phone is currently s-off and radio s-off and is running 4EXT Recovery Control for recovery, so this will need to be removed as well
I'm paranoid about making this kind of request, as I've seen so many threads shot down in flames, with replies along the lines of "use the search tool" and other unhelpful responses.
Paranoia aside, could someone help guide me through the exact steps / files I need to make this unbranded uk phone appear untouched when it gets to HTC
Use the ace hack kit return to stock option
Or you can run a RUU.exe
The list you posted is outdated.
Assuming you want a stock unbranded WWE (world wide english) RUU, the latest release is WWE_3.12.405.1_R_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_233505_signed
You can find it Here

Yes true but according to my personal experience they didn't care being S-OFF.
It's only dust under the screen not hardware or software issue.

ok cool that make things clearer - so ive grabbed the suggested ruu, then its just a matter of making my phone s-on... presuming I can use the ace advanced hack kit for that?
AAHK should work to s-on.
Roms taking forever to download - will report back a little later with my progress... thanks for the info peeps - very useful!
ok restored using the RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_R_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_233505_signed
However browsing through the ace hack options there doesn't seem to be an option to just turn s-on back on again... any other tools available to flip s-on from s-off?
Did you find the password?
Run AAHK. In main menu select o (options) and then:
s -Return to S-ON and Flash Stock RUU (RUU not supplied)

If I select to download one from the list, I get the option NOT to download the rom, which then takes me to this screen...
It seems as though this is limited to only the ruu's in the list, if you chose a different / manual ruu as I did, there is no option to skip the list and enable s-on
" The following RUUS will be downloaded as needed and archived
After downloading, you will be given the OPTION to flash
The download is skipped if the RUU is in the archive
Turning security on (S-ON) is OPTIONAL: you'll be prompted"
Flashing is optional. So I guess is not necessary. Download it but dont flash. Try this way
---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------
Ok dowload it and try not to flash when prompted.
If it doesn't work you need to start from the beginning downgrading, rooting etc etc and then s-on again downloading WWE EU RUU 2.50.405.2 (CID HTC__001)
ok - I think Im either stoopid or I am missing something here...
this is what I've done...
1) Run ace hack and then selected 'o' which takes me to the options menu
2) Selected 's' which takes me to the screen...
Now this is where Im confused... your telling me to select '0' - but there is no '0' (zero) option within this screen?
edit - just read your reply after I posted this one - will give that a try (dont flash the downloaded ruu)
edit2 - Think this is an oversight by the ace hack dev team - ie not giving you the option to just skip straight to s-on option
edit3 - no go, as you will see if you choose no to flashing the downloaded rom, it throws a wobbly
Use the 2.50.405 option. Its the unbranded version. The hack kit just hasn't been updated to the sense 3.0(3.12.405). The 2.50 is fine and if you really want you could update to the 3.12 afterwards
Grrr this is silly not having a utility to just s-on again without the faff

Hmmm everything appeared to go ok and the command prompt finally returned to the options screen - however the phone is still displaying the white htc logo which looks like a reflection on a black background... should this screen be displaying for a long period of time?
try to flash the 2.50 but I believe it will give an error because you are already on a latter one (3.12.401.1)

Honestly I dont understand why you are doing all this...it is just dust under the screen as said few post ago.
Most probably they won't even look at the hardware as happened to me.
But ok, this is up to you, of course.
Last time I flashed an ruu it took about 15 min. You within that range?.
Since your soff, your can flash any ruu, regardless if you have a newer(3.12) on. Its the beauty of soff

1. Fair enough!
2. It would appear so as the T3 One X flashes differently
3. You have to relock the bootloader to flash an RUU but once flashed you just reflash CWM without unlocking the bootloader

You are awesome for taking the time to help thanks
To relock the bootloader:
fastboot oem lock
Then run the RUU when the phone is connected in fastboot mode and away you go! You shouldn't need the stock recovery as the RUU replaces that but I've always flashed it before using the RUU purely through habit

No Unlocked Bootloader = No Root / CWR
Unlocked Bootloader = Root/ CWR

I wanted to unlock my DHD's bootloader and flash a custom rom on it with the S-On method which require me to manually flash the boot everytime i flash a rom.
But i was unable to unlock my bootloader due to i was unable to get the identifier token from fastboot... I check on HTC dev website and it require me to upgrade my bootloader, yet again... failed!
I also tried the bootloader unlocking tool and it automatically download PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029 RUU for me and the result also same as the one i downloaded from HTC dev
Here are some pictures:

I am on HBOOT version 2.00.0027, not sure if it was the latest though
Currently i m using 3.13.707.4
As i know the previous owner did unlock and flash a custom rom on it before, and later he send it back to HTC service centre to flash it back to stock gingerbread
Any help / suggestions are appreciated and welcomed
Should download a RUU and reflash the phone?
did you already tried flashing it with different method...
you can read a guide in here..., this thread guide for htc sensation thread, but the guide is the same as for dhd too (but don't rename it like PG58IMG.zip for DHD..because this name code for sensation only, for DHD just rename it PD98IMG.zip)
just read guide especially at step 4.1 and 4.4, 4.4.1, 4.4.2
hope this help..and good luck..

no..you don't needed flashing a full RUU...
just upgrade file firmware / hboot from the htc site that you're already download it..(this is will update it your hboot to version 2.00.0029)
you can try it in two way method..
1. flashing it PD98IMG.zip with fastboot method...
2. flashing it that loaded PD98IMG.zip file via bootloader from your sdcard..

Ok i will try that later...
So basically the bootloader that can't support HTC dev unlock (or those that require a further update) are those without the "LOCKED" or "RELOCKED" status right?
And is the AAHK2 by Phiber2000 safe to unlock, s-off and root my phone?

yap..when htc launching the latest ota update (full RUU for DHD) just had a version of bootloader 2.00.0027, that time the htc itself is not yet officially opening/launching for supporting unlocking the bootloader..because of that..the version 2.00.0027 is not yet support for unlocking..and that's why don't have a state of LOCKED in the top of that bootloader too..so to unlocking you must update bootloader first to 2.00.0029 from that website..
AAHK2 is a simple way to fully rooting and had eng hboot for your DHD...i think that's a safe too..provide it if you follow all step carefully and follow all the rules that are required from that script it self...and because i've already using that script for 6 DHD..all the result is success..even with some of that DHD had some of little troubled while running that script..but i'm still can handle it..
just a advice from me...before you begin running that script..just read carefully and understand it all inside that thread (especially about a branded sdcard that are mentioned in there thread)..and prepared all stuff that are required..
good luck...

If your build vesion is not supported to update the bootloader, you will need create a goldcard in order to flash a RUU with a build version that supports unlocking. That is the way...takes time and S-OFF is a better option IMO

I have successfully unlock the bootloader by the method @JJeamy show me, thank you very much for guiding me on how to unlock it :good::good::good:
Actually the process isn't very hard just go to HTC dev and download the bootloader that match your build number and manually flash the update by using fastboot and proceed to unlock the phone as instructed on htc dev

Awesome
@JJeamy
I'm proud that you wrote that much,if i was in your place i would only redirects @boonwuilow to that chinese software the one i told you easy way to unlock bootloader.
I hope that someone can help me with this problem. Sorry it is such a long post, but I thought it might help with diagnosis if I wrote it all down.
I have an HTC One X with Android 4.02. It was purchased from Optus. I followed the process on the HTC web site to root and unlock the phone. Since that time I have never been able to update automatically. I contacted both Optus and HTC and was told that this was because of the root and, more or less, “bad luck!” I’ve tried to manually update the zip file with CWM but just get an error message and abort update.
From time to time, the phone would lag badly and run slower and slower. The only way that I could fix it was to backup all the apps and data using Titanium backup; uninstall all the apps; and then re-install them. Afterwards, all would be fine again for several months. A couple of months ago, it began to happen again and I uninstalled/reinstalled, but this time it didn’t help. Finally, after trying to figure out what to do, I did a system reset and then reinstalled everything and everything worked fine except that one of my apps (one I use all the time!) now will not work at all.
I decided that this might be because I needed to update to a newer version of Android. Unfortunately, when I tried to install CM 10.2, the installation failed. I thought that this might be because the Bootloader was too old (v. 0.95) but I read that if it was an AOSP Rom that I wouldn’t need to update the bootloader. So, I tried to flash Xenon, but again no luck. I’ve scoured the forums, but can’t seem to find anything that matches this issue.
The phone is definitely rooted. I’ve previously installed new Roms on my old HTC Desire, so I’m pretty sure I’m doing it right. However, I’m by no means a particularly sophisticated user and quite often the discussion in the forums is a bit esoteric for me.
Do I need to update the bootloader? If I do, then do I need to unroot the phone first then update then re-root?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi
Can you give some details of the phone? CID?, international version?, S-On or off?, etc?
In short i think it is a good idea to update to a more recent bootloader. Then get yourself on to a newer ROM.
You might also want to consider twrp (big) as a new recovery.
This forum has lots of info.
Also take a look at www.onexroot.com
Thanks
The CID is OPTUS001.
The phone was purchased in Australia from the Optus network - I'm guessing then, that is an international.
The phone is S-on. From what I was reading when I was figuring out how to find whether it was On or Off, it seems like it needs to be Off to install any new Rom. I'd that right?
THanks for your help.

You can flash ROMs with S-ON. I fact its good to leave it as S-ON in case you flash the wrong firmware. Saved my bacon a few times.
Even if you bought it through Optus doesn't necessarily mean an international. Ca you post a screen shot of the boot loader screen. That will tell us.
Also an you find the CID number? There's some apps that can give you the the number. It looks like HTC-xyz. This will help in finding the right firmware.
good luck.

Nope, link still doesn't work. Use the attachments button when replying to attached the screenshot.
If that still doesn't work then let me know what the first three lines are when you are in fastboot mode. (Hold Vol down and power until you enter fastboot). The reason i want this info is to confirm you have the international version of HOX. If the second line contains the words "Endeavoru" then you have the international version, and we can then find the right ROM and recovery for you to use.
Also this is the link to download Hboot 1.36 for OPTUS001. http://d-h.st/users/ClydeB1/?fld_id=8110. Download this and keep it handy.
I am assuming that your bootloader is unlocked. First line tells you this. Did you use the site http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/? Do you still have the unlock token?
Here are the first 9 lines. Don't know why it doesn't work.

Man give me the result from command fastboot getvar version-main then I will tell you from where to download the RUU and you will download it and relock your bootloader and run it you are with low hboot and have chance to have RUU for your main version

The unlock token usually arrives by email. Do you still have the email? If not go thru the process again and get the token. Then keep the token. You need it after you flash the firmware.zip (new HBOOT)
The question you might want to think about is what ROM are you planning to install? That suggests the custom recovery you need to install. For instance HOX international works well on Lollipop but you have to reformat the memory using twrp-big. A simple task that you can find on www.onexroot.com.
Once you answer the ROM question, the steps would be as follows. Instructions can be provided if needs be.
1. Flash custom recovery of your choice
2 Flash the firmware.zip (HBOOT)
3. Flash the ROM of your choise.
Or you can go down the path that Thant is suggesting. I did the Lollipop upgrade using Resurrection Remix ROM after doing steps 1 and 2.
Thanks

Step 1 must to be after step 2, because if he flash firmware after recovery will be with stock recovery and not be possible to flash rom with stock recovery and must to flash again custom recovery. But how I think he is not a good with android devices don't have good skil to flash the firmware by him self. I suggest to answare my question and then to see if we can find RUU
Thank you both. Sorry for the delay in responding. Family emergency and I've not had time. I'll follow up in a day or so.

OK Reloack with command fastboot oem lock your bootloader and run this RUU if you get error try to find nandroid backup I will try to find you stock recovery but first try to run the RUU and report back after that:fingers-crossed:

Thanks. I'll try it and let you know.
I've tried running the RUU. When it asks me to verify the ROM image version I want to update, the "To:"version is the same as the "From:"version. They are both 1.28.980.11 Before I go ahead, is that correct? Shouldn't it be a different version of the ROM image?

GO and see if the RUU will finish if yes this is good if give you error we will see what will do.
Yes they are the same but if RUU finish you will be complete stock and then will update wia Wi-Fi stock rom to latest hboot. Don't forget to relock your bootloader
replay if rUU finish and dont forget to make nandroid backup when you install new rom after update to latest hboot for your carrier
