Develop Bugs

[WARNING] OTA Update 2.13.401.3

Note: This works for some people, but I suggest you don't update, because majority of the people are having problems.
theq86 has reported his phone bricked.
Conclusions:
1- S-ON & Bootloader Locked
Your HBOOT will stay to the version 1.08.0000.
You will not be able to unlock the bootloader until HTCDev updates its RUU.
2- S-ON & Bootloader Unlocked (HBOOT 1.08.0009)
Your HBOOT will be downgraded to 1.08.0000 and your bootloader will be locked again. You will lose root and CWM.
You will not be able to unlock the bootloader until HTCDev updates its RUU.
3- S-OFF
Your HBOOT will stay (or be updated/downgraded) to 1.08.0000.
You don't have to worry about the bootloader cause it is unlocked forever.
For those who performed the update and are S-ON and want to unlock their bootloader, three solutions :
1- S-OFF your phone with an XTC-Clip
2- Wait for a software S-OFF (they are getting closer and closer)
3- Wait that HTCDev updates its RUU. We should write to them to be sure they are aware of this problem.
Want to get rid of the notifications telling you to update?
1. Download update (to the phone).
2. When the phone asks to install update, plug your phone to the computer in Disk Drive mode.
3. Run Winrar and browse to sdcard/download and enter OTA_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3-2.13.401.2_release_237041qqcw21hxt5vkhdz6.zip.
4. Inside you will find file firmware.zip. Unpack it anywhere.
5. Run Winrar and enter unpacked firmware.zip.
6. Click INFO button and go to SFX label.
7. Click "Remove the already existing module from the archive" and OK.
8. Delete all files except "android-info.txt". Save file (firmware.zip).
9. Replace firmware.zip in original OTA update.
10. Run update in your phone.
11. You will see yellow exclamation mark in triangle which means failure.
12. Remove the baterry for one second.
13. Turn on. Phone will show smtng like "update file is corrupt. download again?" - click NO. Turn off automatic check for updates in settings.

Why is this update bad?
Why is this update bad? (background info)
HTC included it's newest radio and hboot with the update. Actually nothing to worry about, but there's a problem regarding software version numbers.
For example (HTC EU example):
My WFS shipped EU 2.3.3 (sw no. 1.33.401.2)
Then came the FOTA to EU 2.3.5 (sw no. 2.13.401.2)
And some days past a new FOTA (sw no. 2.13.401.3)
the software numbers are the problem here. HTCDEV provides the RUU updater for unlockable hboot only for 2.13.401.2.
As we know, HTC will not allow us to downgrade even a signed ruu. Thus, we will get a main version is older error.
This leads to the conclusions above.
------------------------------------
Will there be a way to re-unlock the phone?
HTC wrote:
Unfortunately once the device has updated to the most recent software it cannot be reverted to the previous update allowing the device to be unlocked. I can escalate this issue as a feature request to see if a further Hboot update can be released in the future for users who may have missed the opportunity to unlock their devices.
I hope that this information meets with your requirements. Should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me again.

1) downgrade 2.13.401.3 to 2.13.401.2

2) Only Step-0 (ruu-downloads - Install hboot 1.08.0099)
http://htcdev.com/bootloader
3) I rebooted to bootloader mode and my hboot is 1.08.0099 unlocked
Works fine for me ...

I've S-OFF'd my phone with xtc clip. Should I update my phone?
Also, my Hboot is 0.90.0000
What are the benefits of
Hboot 1.08.0009 as compared to 0.90.000?!
Thanks

I'm qurious about this as well. I'm S-OFF, but haven't installed any custom ROM yet, only Link2SD. So I should be able to install the update without problems, right?

After struggling to unlock BL my wfs s-on, I prefer not to update. I don't want to take risk.

I'm not promising anything. I told HTCDEV about the problems in general. Maybe I can get them to provide a RUU for 2.13.401.3 so that everyone who updated this can unlock again. I'm currently negotiating with HTC and waiting for an answer.

The easiest way is to edit the software number to a lower one. The How-To is in the forum here:

UPDATED POST #2 IMPORTANT

Hi there!
I need a little help.. My problem is that I can't remove CWM 5.0.2.8 from my Marvel.
It is S-OFF with XTC Clip.
USB Debugging is ON.
Fast Boot is ON.
I have stock ROM 2.3.5
I chose Charge Only.
I use Marvel Auto-Installers. It detect my Marvel.. I press uninstall recovery (HTC original). Then my phone restarts. After booting I shut down and restart with vlume down pressed to check what recovery I have and... surprise: still CWM 5.0.2.8!
Any little help will be appreciated.

Then please download the auto-installers new.
Go to the folder installed the auto-installers and you will find a orig.img and a fastboot.exe
Restart your phone into the fastboot mode and open terminal. Navigate to the fastboot.exe and execute this command:
fastboot flash recovery orig.img

Thanks a lot!
sending 'recovery' <3100KB>... OKAY
writing 'recovery' ... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
Any ideas?

No, this command must work for unlocked bootloader too.
Have you relocked bootloader? Or check if u really unlocked!!!

I don't know how my bootloader is.. My phone is S-Off by XTC Clip and I have a stock ROM 2.3.5 installed in CWM Recovery from a zip file..

Ähm, i think the StockHBOOT does not support the flash recovery command, if i'm right
Or what HBOOTversion you have?

of course it does support. as you see in helbets post. just fastboot rejects flashing. which should not happen if he is s-off

Can anyone confirm whether this updated ROM can be rooted using the usual methods (GingerBreak/ZergRush) ?
Thanks.

as far as I know the unlock method of htc dev doesn't give you s-off (which seems to be confirmed by yourself saying you're still s-on). S-on means "security on" what in other words means you won't be able to flash a custom recovery (if I'm not mistaken here).
You said that you have read every thread here about this - so you should know as it's mentioned all over this forum (that htc dev isn't the best method...). For how - and if - you still could get there I''m not too sure but you probably need to do an RUU, downgrade etc to do the suggested method (of the two corresponding threads here) instead of the htc dev thing.
But as I said: I_m not sure if you still can - probably someone has experience here?

No, no. He will be able to flash a custom recovery if he unlocked it using HTCDev, he won't, however, be able to modify the internal storage while the phone is booted.

ah, yes, thx for clearifying - so you can't get control over the partitions or what does it mean?

The htc dev method gives a different output to revo or alpha, if it says s-on with unlocked somewhere then fastboot is the only method that will work for flashing a custom recovery and although some things like the revovery partition are unlocked for flashing, some important things like radio aren't hence the s still being on........
I presume if it says s-on and locked then yes you have probably gone wrong somewhere and locked it again.
Theres not many people on here that have used the htc dev unlock tool i don't think so support might be a bit thin as we don't know much about it, try running through the htc dev unlock method again to hopefully get it unlocked again and then flash cwm by the fastboot method.
If it says locked then i can't think of any other way, downgrading to hboot 1.01.0001in order to use revolutionary may work but i'm not sure if you can or not as i have personally never done it.

i already tried buzz downgrade a long ago.i used the method as it is told on the website..:good:
but don't know why it doesn't work properly i have no idea why this don't work either. i read number of threats regarding it and i tried to google
with the errors that came with buzz downgrade. something just goes wrong with it in the first step but it just doesn't get completed. the phone does not respond when i ran the buzz downgade utility even after installing the htc driver from the buzz downgrade itself (don't remember exactly that it is explained over the internet). i did clearly everything whatever is written in the threats about how to use the buzz downgrade but in vain i stopped it trying.
i still have the setup of buzz downgrade in my laptop.:silly:
but why it doesn't work i don't know..and you know what i read that threat too in the past.
may be it is the problem of the bootloader that it is locked..

During your procedure,did you ever achieve the S-OFF ?
You need to downgrade from 1.02.0000 to 1.01.0001 to use Revolutionary.
Try this guide.
If you want revolutionary will automatically download the recovery and install it on your phone.
After gaining S-OFF if you can't get Unrevoked working in order to gain root.
Use this or try SuperOneClick.
Good luck:good:

Try the link in my Sig, it should help. First, I recommend running an RUU and relocking your bootloader using fastboot oem lock.
Then try the debranding and rooting guide in the Sig.

this is the thing i already tried a long ago. when the wildfire was updated to 2.2 version of android ,it changed into "wildfire (buzz) 2.2.1, with HBOOT 1.01.0002"..now as the threats i read there in the past, i can't run the revolutionary or any other method. because the htc has applied some sort of lock on the new bootloader. revolutionary gave some error which i don't remember as per the threats. in the mean time nobody able to find the solution of this new 1.01.0002 bootloader unlocking. then i that time i heard of htc dev website and in that time i used that website to unlock my bootloader and alas it got unlocked and my bootloader has been changed to 1.02.000.. but now i again find that my bootloader is locked may be.. how i don;t know about that.. i tried to run that method of buzz downgrade number of times thoroughly again and again as if u read in the thread above it give some sort of error and does't do anything for me. so i asked what else i do then this , again do i need go to htc dev website to unlock bootloader ??

I never tried htcdev method so i have no idea about that.You should probably try their method once again,if that doesn't work,use the Gold card tool to downgrade the HBOOT using this guide.
Code:
Step 1: run step1.bat from the package. This will downgrade your MISC partition to allow for the RUU downgrade.
At the end, GoldCardTool will start up, to allow you to create a goldcard which you will need before starting Step 2
Step 2: run step2.bat from the package. This will downgrade your ROM version to HTC WWE Froyo for Wildfire (unbranded).
If you get a Customer ID error while doing this, your goldcard is not working!
Create a new goldcard and re-run step2
or follow usaff22's guide.

You didn’t answer me,What is the information on your HBOOT screen?
Power off the phone and ensure the phone is completely off. Then hold POWER + VOL-DOWN buttons together until the white HBOOT screen appears. Tell us your HBOOT info.
You are getting Customer ID error,It’s a bad Goldcard.You will have to create a new Goldcard.
>Connect it to your computer using an SD Adapter and format the card to FAT32 file system once again.
>Redownload and reextract the package.
>Follow this guide to create the Goldcard.It’s a bit more detailed.
Before doing anything download CCleaner and TFC and run them.TFC will ask you to reboot.Reboot the PC.
Now make the Goldcard.Good luck.

not really clear to me also - if I got him right he initially has been on 1.01.0002 (because of the Android update). Because there hasn't been a possibility by revolutionary yet at that time and for that bootloader he unlocked it at the htcdev site what made it 1.02.000.
But I'm a bit confused, too, so a detailed information of the fastboot screen would really help (or a pic).

As it says,your Bootloader is still LOCKED.
After using HTC dev unlock tool your HBOOT 1.01.0002 got changed to 1.02.000 while Bootloader is still locked.
i.e you probably missed some steps.

My phone is a device originally from Bell Canada. The specs are
Marvel PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-0.90.0000
MICROP-0451
RADIO-7.46.36.14M
Apr 8 2011, 17:45:10
Android v. 2.3.3
Software number: 1.36.666.5
Model: PG7611000
I was tempted to try the legendary Wildchild but couldn't reboot it to recovery mode with a properly prepared sd card.
Then I thought perhaps I still needed to unlock the bootloader. I went to the htcdev site and followed the steps.
I chose the right version RUU for the Bell 1.36.666.5 but an error notice said model ID was wrong.
I also tried to get the token ID. it failed for sure "Command error" so can't get the Token ID
When I tried the Wildfire_S_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0. The same thing happened: "Command error"!
Yes, the HTC SYNC was uninstalled. The debugging was on.
I didn't want to bother others until I had tried everything I could think of.
With no knowledge on android, I have spent 10 hours struggling with different approaches found online. Need some help now.
What procedure should I follow for my phone if I want to use Wildchild?
Thank you!

Thank you so much, Sir.
I followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533639 here and applied that recovery file but nothing happened. I still get the wrong model ID message. Then I rebooted the phone and found out the HBOOT was not changed.
So far there seemed to me two solutions on the forum.
One is to update the HBOOT to an unlockable higher version then update the RUU and get it unlocked again. Or do some trick with something like ROM 1, which I have no idea how to get access to.

Extract the rom1.zip from the RUU, copy it to the root of the phone micro-sd card, rename it as PG76IMG and turn off the phone. Pull the battery out and reinsert it. Hold the volume down key and press the power on. It should boot into the bootloader. Then it will ask if you would like to update radiov2, choose yes and after reboot, you should be s-off...

Thank you, ctt812.
By RUU, do you mean the .exe fine I downloaded for updating? if not, which version? where can i find it or a guide?
My phone is s-off when i got it. do you mean it will be s-off again after update and reboot?
Cheers.
Update. i found them. are you sure i should use rom1? some threads say rom2....

Oh... I think I make a mistake. That's for s-off only. For flashing the wildchild ROM, you need to install a recovery other than the stock recovery (e.g. CWM recovery). And then root your device. Then you could install the ROM from the CWM recovery.

I got the WC3 on my phone with ROM 2 and ROM 1 -tried both but the "unlocked" pink line is now above the specs. I tried the RUU program. It says "model ID error" again... WC works now but how can i "unlock" it? btw, the phone is still s-off but locked.
I think because it is "unlocked" so LinkSD doesn't work. It says ext2 may not be supported by your device. Try FAT32". What is wrong? I followed the WC3 instruction created by the developer - 1 FAT, 1 EXT2 and 1 SWAP. Another problem I have is after move 1 apps to the SD card. It is full. I have a 4 G card with 1.2 FAT32, 512 Swap and the rest is EXT2.

[Q] Root S-On Error 130

I was trying to root my WFS (S-On method with HTC unlocked bootloader) except I keep getting an error '130 Model ID' when running the correct RUU for my phone and can't figure out why.
HTC-A510a (Marvel)
S-On
Virgin Mobile (Canada)
2.3.3 (Andriod)
2.1 HTC Sense
Software Number: 1.36.666.5
- Yes, I have downloaded it multiple times to check if the file was corrupt
- Yes, all the pre-requisites are installed (JDK, Andriod SDK, HTC drivers etc)
- Yes, USB debugging is on
- No, there isn't a WWE RUU for Virgin Mobile that I can see
I would prefer to keep s-on if possible because (theoretically less to go wrong) although I am not a complete noob, I am close to it and this is my only phone.
Do I have to go back to the (old?) gold-card method, is there another way, or am I just missing something?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry if if I wasnt clear. No, my bootloader is not unlocked - that is what I am in the process of doing. When I follow the instructions for that provided by HTC/S-On Unlock Tutorial, the RUU that they provide will not unlock my bootloader and produces the error '130 Model ID Error' and then restarts my phone. The problem is that is the correct RUU doesnt work and as far as I can tell, it is the only one provided by HTC that works for a WFS and Virgin Mobile (Canada).
I understand that you can use other RUU's (sometimes) to unlock your bootloader, but that could cause some issues with my radio, yes? As I said before, it is my only phone and unlike ROMS if I messed something up with a radio, I wouldn't know where to start troubleshooting.

I guess vedang81 is taking a break or something. Either way what he suggested (skipping flashing the RUU) didn't work. When I entered the cmd commands it gave me "[ERR]Command error!!!". Vedang81 thought that this meant I didn't have the files or they weren't in the right place, however I double checked everything (all files were downloaded from HTC Dev links and were in the correct folders). Several other threads (on other devices) seemed to indicate that that error was what happened when you didn't flash the RUU and therefore didn't have the updated hboot. I also looked at simonsimon34's HTC Wildfire SUtility but that says it requires your bootloader to say **locked** to begin with and mine doesn't.
Not sure where to go from here...

If your bootloader doesn't say **locked**, then it's already unlocked.

[Q] Problem at startup with DHD

Hey Guys,
I have a big problem with my desire HD. I get it from a friend, he make a update, an after that still boot the DHD only until the bootlogo...
Its all original...with german vodafone branding. S-ON, hboot:2.00 0027...
Problem Vodafone has no RUU Stock roms....I try it with the PD98IMG.zip from a HTC Stock Rom but I get the message in the bootoader after checking: CID incorrect....
So I delete the hboot file in this zip and after checking the zip it comes NO error message, but sadly he get back to the bootloader....so I think that CID request is defined in the hboot file...
I hope everyone can open this file and change the CID to my Vodafone branding (VODAP102) ... i uploaded on zippyshare.

Other solutions can be also written of course!
Soory for my bad english
Thanks!

So what is your problem?
Your phone freezes out meanwhile boot animation?
Try boot into safe or recovery mode. Flash a new image and everything should be fine.
I recommend

Why are you pasting an hboot? that won't help your issue, but will probably worsen it. What you need is to create a goldcard and flash an unbranded RUU.
What update were you trying to flash?

Yes, but I cant create a Goldcard....because my DHD boots only to the bootlogo and then stop it....and next problem.....I have a vodafone mobile phone, and there no exists any rom. in other words all currently available roms bring me the CID incorrect message.
And the update was a official update .....but I cant exactly describe it, cause its not my phone

No. Goldcards are related to sdcard, so one created in my sdcard will not work with yours. Then, you can unlock the bootloader, flash CWM and custom ROM, then from there create a goldcard and flash a ruu.

Yep but to unlock the bootloader with htcdev, It needs the latest hboot, so and they did not have!And to update hboot he sad I need the latest Rom Version, and at the end of the installation comes the user-ID mistake.

I don't get it. To unlock bootloader you will probably need,to update hboot, but not the ROM....you can do all the process in fastboot. If it is ok with you I can help you out via teamviewer

DHD doesn't boot anymore
Hello everybody,
I'm new around here and also a noob when it comes to rooting Android devices. Anyway, I think I might have screwed my DHD while trying to root it. I downloaded the AAHK and followed the steps. At some point the cmd window showed a message telling me that i have more than one devices connected. I don't really know what I did, but my phone doesn't boot anymore. I mean it shows the HTC logo on the white background, but then it turns black and only shows a picture of a phone and a red triangle. And that's it. Can I still save it? Please, help me!

Did AAHK say anything else? What state was the phone in when you ran AAHK on it (unlocked bootloader, Android version, etc.)? What does the phone's bootloader say? Reboot into bootloader by rebooting while holding down power and volume-down.
