My phone is on the bootloader screen, with hboot .97, S-ON and such, and my cmd window says "waiting for fastboot..." Now what the **** am I supposed to do?
Run revolutionary.
Well Revolutionary won't run. I've read all the "tutorials" but revolutionary won't work. It just keeps saying "waiting for fastboot" but that's all it does.
Are you on Windows. If so, do you have the HTC Drivers installed?
Have you booted into fastboot on your device?

Debugging is enabled on phone, fastboot is disabled on phone. Plugged in as "charge only". .....and even as I type this, I just rooted. Don't know how, possibly because I just did a manual restart and had a bowl...now I've gotten it finished. Thanks guy!

My usb port decided to quit working on my phone it won't charge either. I took it to Sprint, all of a sudden it works again, he said he didn't do anything to it but it works now and I took it home and it did. The tech also said it has basic root even after I used a PC36IMG to unroot, return to stock, and S-On. But a user on here said with my HBOOT reading 6.17.00001 instead of the 2.16.00001 that is how the tech found out I rooted it. It says S-On and DOESN'T say Revolutionary.
Any ways I was told I need to run an RUU to get the stock hboot so I can take my phone back to sprint and get it replaced/fixed if possible. I've never ran an RUU and was wondering if I could install it through the bootloader since my phone won't stay connected to the computer?
Sorry for asking this twice as I asked it in the RUU thread but I haven't received an answer yet and I'm needing to get this resolved asap . Thanks.
EDIT: Basically in short, i need to downgrade my hboot from 6.17.00001 S-ON to 2.16.00001 S-ON. And again i am unrooted, stock, s-on, usb wont work so i cant connect to computer or charge.

You need to download this PC36IMG file to your computer, and get it to your SD card, either from your computer or a computer with an SD card slot and adapter, or through your cord.

No problem.
By the way the Hboot version should be 2.16.00001 not 6.16.00001 after returning to stock. 6.16 is the Revolutionary one.
Too many numbers lol.

Thanks for this. It was exactly what I was looking for
I've had the above option work for me before but also had it not work on another Evo I had. The other option I went with was looking for the fastboot.exe file.. (google.com will help, but I will post when I get on that PC). I placed it in my sdk folder inside platform-tools folder then connected with Fastboot USB via bootloader and sent the following command using cmd.
"Be sure to cd into your platform-tools folder before this command..if you have the sdk of coarse :\"
fastboot devices <<< this is just to be sure it locates your device
fastboot oem rebootRUU
The phone will then go into the black screen showing "htc" emblem and then you can run the RUU. Worked like a charm for me. This is a similar process using the adb command "adb shell reboot oem-78" Only reason I couldn't use that command was because I was stuck with a boot loop . lol
Hope this helps at all. Good luck bud. ..... hope it made sense to.. it is 5:06am cut me slack..
Hi there XDA,
I have searched and tried many different ways to help me,
but none have worked or are lacking in information for me to follow methods.
so i have turned to your general help!
i do not have any knowledge on how my phones bootloader was unlocked or any fastboot things at all, if you could explain to me step by step methods of using the fastboot option via connecting it to my computer to get it to work including files i need that would help.
well okay these are my problems.
~ I tried flashing a jdroid rom, with aroma installer.
it installed the rom but after i installed it it was looping the 'HTC' logo at startup.
what happens is i turn it on, it says "htc quietly brilliant" hangs for a few seconds, screen goes black then phone vibrates and it repeats.
i have a CWM flashed but whenever i boot into recovery it the cwm flashes on the screen for one tenth of a second and then it reboots and i get a loop of booting screen.
If anyone could please help that would be greatly appreciated! i have only had this phone for one week! and it is vital i get it fixed as i have alot of information in the SD card vital to my business
First, download the RUU for your phone (you should have it already as you got it before unlocking the bootloader, right?). If you didn't, then this is the first rookie mistake you've made
Second, relock the bootloader. This involves using fastboot which, again, you should how to use before doing anything that can potentially lead to issues. If you don't know how to use fastboot then check the threads in the Dev forum or Google it
Third, make sure the phone is connected in fastboot and run the RUU
This will get you back to stock and then you can start again (once you've read up on everything properly)
I tryed to install RUU yesterday with relocked bootloader to solve sense issue but did not get it work.
Tryed with 1.25, 1,28 and 1,29 but got error 120 and 170 (no USB connection and low battery even battery was 95%).
Any idea why?
Then I removed CID line in OTA and installed it by fastboot and sense issue was gone
Good news is you're not bricked, do you have adb installed on your pc?

Ok first thing to do is download the android sdk and install it. Once done report back.
If you get a java not installed messege on install the sdk it will give you a link to the jdk download the 32bit version.

If your friend unlocked and rooted your phone, he must have had the necessary tools on his pc.
Before trying other things, get your friend to run fastboot erase cache (or if you have the necessary tools run it yourself with your device booted in fastboot of course (volume down and power pressed))

hmm i have done some extra researching and had more help but my phone is in fastboot and is connected via cable to pc but the CMD always comes up with "waiting for device"
Have u got HTC sync installed
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Once you have htc sync installed or just thethe drivers boot into hboot. Click on fastboot plug in device. It should show fastboot-usb.
If you bootloader shows unlocked open cmd and cd to the platform-tools folder in the sdk and type: fastboot oem lock.
This will relock the bootloader and reboot the phone. Boot back to fastboot the run the ruu for your cid and all will be back to normal.

you need to run the RUU while in the rom with usb debugging enabled. you leave it at fastboot when you are running the fastboot commands from the PC

did you install htc sync?
I know how to manually flash from the RUU, but I'm not sure that it would fix the problem and could break something. (especially since this RUU modifies hboot)
I'm also not sure if this fix works on phones that are capable of s-off. Which carrier do you have?

what you mean with "carrier"? the animation when i turn on/off phone is vodafone.
in the android sdk did you install the usb drivers? that might do it. by carrier I mean who is your service provider?

not the same I know, I did look yours up by the radio number, you do need to use the HTCdev method for that one
don't know why, but now unlocked!!)
Anytime I try to flash something in fastboot it tries to send and then fails, giving me (remote: not allowed). My phone has been rooted for some time, bootloader is unlocked. I don't understand... when I first unlocked it I flashed CWM with no problem on fastboot to make a backup of stock ROM before flashing custom ones. Why now would it have problems? I would really like to flash CM10 but cannot unless this is resolved... I've searched and have found others with the same problem, but no good fixes, at least not for the HTC ov.

What command are you typing in? Maybe you're typing it wrong or something?
Before flashing try "adb devices" command to make sure that the device is connected properly..
U should get some alphanumeric charecters like "HC45ER...." then you are properly connected...
otherwise just use "one V all in one tool kit" and follow the instructions to flash the kernel....
Hi! Its been a while!
So i unrooted my phone a while ago but then i was bored so i decided to root it again!
I re-installed all the drivers, uninstall htc sync, and decided to root it via revolutionary method!
I entered the beta key and it finally said SUCCESS! It asked me to flash recovery and i types Y (yes) but it said failed to flash!
But then i noticed in the bootloader screen that nothing was changed. It didnt say REVOLUTIONARY in pink like it used to say before! There was S-OFF written but no revolutionary!
I decided to try to root it again! The same thing happened! It said SUCCESS but no REVOLUTIONARY written on top of the bootloader screen!
Then i decided to flash the recovery manually. I tried the fastboot method but when i entered the command it said:
READING
WRITING failed (remote: not allowed)
what is this? does this mean im not rooted.
But then i successfully flashed recovery via PC49IMG method and flashed a ROM without any problems!
I just want to ask is it okay if REVOLUTIONARY is not written on top of the bootloader screen?
Thnx in advance! =)

Its very strange to see. What is your hboot version at the moment? As long as you don't upgrade or downgrade your hboot s-off should stick, but you won't have access to the fastboot commands without the hacked hboot

No....all is not well sadly! I've tested this 'unrevolutionized' rooted phone with 3 ROMs and noticed that the apps keeps on force closing on its own! Also, the battery life turns SOOOO CRAPPY that my phone turns into plug-and-play! =(
And once I unroot my phone, it works COMPLETELY fine!
So probably there is something im doing wrong! Any ideas?

Hmmm. It could be how the revolutionary exploit is done, I'm not sure what process they use and it could leave the stock hboot damaged I suppose. Not sure if I'm honest pal. Good to hear that a return to stock has has helped though!
