I have tried recoveries and so on with FastbootCommanderV.1.5 , but i get the following error,
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That could only happen with S-ON?
How can I fix my movile with these characteristics ? The FactoryReset and the Recovery freeze the mobile also .....
Thanks !!!!

If that tool is intending to use fastboot, then it won't work.
ENG = fastboot will work
SHIP = fastboot will not work (instead you have to use the PC10IMG.zip method)
S-ON = cannot flash new radio (or a number of other things involving new radio, recovery etc).
S-OFF = can.
As kind of a non-specific way of putting it.

Then I only need to download one ROM from here shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision , rename to PC10IMG.zip , copy it to the SD card and then Vol- + Power ?

That depends on what you're attempting to do.
You might want to explain what exactly is your goal, before you accidentally break something, especially since you mentioned shipped roms (which includes hboots, radios, etc and are stock [re-locking, non-rootable]).

I want to fix my handy somehow (doesn't matter if I lost everything of the SD card) installing or fixing the actual "System", but I dont know how

Do you have a custom recovery on it (clockworkmod, 4EXT)?
Did you try going into recovery and doing a factory-reset/wipe and then restoring a backup?
Going with a shipped/RUU rom without knowing exactly what the problem is could make the situation more ... permanent. Especially if you're already exploited/rooted and all you need is a fresh rom install via recovery.

I dont have a custom recovery on it.
I tried factory-reset (freeze) and recovery (black screen and then 6 or 7 vibrations)
Im not sure if the mobile was with a custom RUU or something modificated from the old user (S-OFF is a little strange :S)

Damn, i have the exact same problem. After doing recovery, phone vibrates and dont respond anymore to the volume down+power button. and it just freezes at the choice of Factory reset. If anybody has an idea how to solve this, please share it.

I have the very same problem After updating some apps through the market app, my phone started freesing and after a few tries of removing the battery it got stuck in the logo screen. I haven't tried to root it or anything at all, it's completely stock rom-wise and as far as I'm conserned it will stay that way. I can move arround in the menu when pressing down volume key and power key combo, but when I try to resstore, it just vibrates 7 times after it goes into the black screen with the green arrows, and if I try to hard reset it, it just freeses and I have to remove the battery again...
I really am hoping for someone who can help to answer this post.

Thanks for the quick reply .

I've downloaded RUU_Vision_Gingerbread_S_hTC_Asia_TW_2.42.709.10_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_201045_signed, and when I put the phone by holding down the volume + power keys and select fastboot the RUU detecs my phone and i can start the update. But when the update starts it just sits there saying Rebooting into Bootloader ........... and that's it, nothing ealse happens. Any ideas? I will be forever grateful!

[Q] Water Damaged Desire, screen flicking [SOLVED]

Hi, Im trying to fix my Desire after getting water damaged, I have spent some time disassembling and drying out, so know that all is dry, when I turn it on My O2 screen flashes on then dies out and restarts, staying in this loop. I can get into the hboot menu. so Im looking for help restoring my stock hboot?? I think?
The phone hasnt had any custom images loaded to my knowledge, so i dont think it will be rooted or ready to load custom images.
Anyway my phone details are:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
will it be as easy as finding the hboot and copying to my sd?
much appreciated.
EDIT: NOW SOLVED - Thread Summary:
Alot of useless information in this thread regarding my ACTUAL problem but still some good info on creating Goldcards. After completely drying phone out after getting wet, I reassembled and tried it out, and it just flicked the O2 screen up and restarted, after trying everything below I then found out I needed a new battery, thats all! lol, so this is incase someone else has a phone that acts like mine did after water damage, I have a link to a youtube vid of what my phone was doing.
Thanks to all who helped me get problem resolved, my phone is back!
Can you get to the fastboot?
If so try running "fastboot devices" is your phone recognized?
Edit:
Ah you're S-ON, then go to fastboot, try downloading appropriate RUU for your device and run it.
See what happens. (you might need gold card if you are branded)
I guess you cant get to the recovery?
You could have not changed your hboot if you are s-on. So there is not hboot which needs to be restored. If you are would be really damaged, you would not be able to power on your desire at all. The hboot is the absolute basis of an android phone (like bios for computer). If this gets damaged, your phone is totally bricked and not more than an expensive paperweight.
When you are able to access fastboot (start phone with pressed back and power button or boot into hboot>choose fastboot with volume buttons>enter with power button), you could flash a ruu. To find out which is the right one, you need to tell us wether your phone was branded or not and when it was branded, which provider you have.
Hi thanks for replies, I understand I dont need to replace my hboot as i can get into thue menu and i can get into fastboot menu aswell. Its branded O2 so where can I find an RUU thats suitable?
If you cant get into fastboot menu, you are pretty much screwed because RUU wont detect your phone.

Download this ruu, put your phone into fastboot mode, run the exe and follow the instructions on the screen.
ok i have downloaded that ruu, but its not detecting my phone. when i first turn phone on with vol- held i get hboot menu. one of the options is fastboot (already selected) i select that by pressing power button, then my menu changes to fast boot. then my options are: bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down. i left it at this menu while i ran the RUU, is this correct? also do I need to install any other software on pc? I have installed the HBOOT USB driver earlier while I was looking about, does this need removing? also my hboot menu when first run looks through files on my sd card, should i copy the ruu file to sd?

Yes, not touching the menu is correct.
No, you do not need to install any other software on your pc.
No, you do not need to remove the hboot usb driver.
No, don't copy the ruu to sd. I recommend to save important data on sd card (just in case). Just run the ruu on your computer.
I get USB Connection Error while phone displays fastboot usb, any ideas?
Shall I try a GoldCard?

Installed hboot drivers correctly:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
Furthermore, check if you have only htc sync drivers installed.
The goldcard can only avoid the cid error, and has nothing to do with the usb connection.
When u use Unrevoked remove HTC connectivity from ur computer...
And u can use FastbootCommanderV.1.5 to patch HBOOT...
ok getting somewhere USb drivers must be screwed on my lappy, i installed on another machine and using fastboot commander I could connect in fastboot mode and got my phone details up, I then tried the RUU that you gave me a link to earlier and it successfully connected and attempted the update, although after about 2 mins it says that its the wrong version ruu. current version is: 2.14.207.3, one contained in RUU is 2.14.207.1 So what should I do now?
wow what crappy luck, you seem to have a new version so it won't let you downgrade.. bump from my end :/

No it will not. A goldcard can only help you, if you want to flash a stock ruu although you have a branded phone. When you do not have a goldcard in this situation, you get a cid error.

yeah so if he had a goldcard, he'd be able to flash a WWE RUU and be out of this sticky situation..
so will it be safe to flash a wwe over my stock o2?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes and no. For the case, he wants the stock ruu, you are right. But he wants to use his warranty, so needs the ruu of this provider. But the ruu he wants flash is older than the one he is running now. So he cannot flash the the ruu. And this problem cannot be avoided by using a goldcard, because the hboot version has nothing to do with the cid number.
On this way I at least understand the matter. Correct me, if I am wrong.

[Q] DZ is not booting - HTC bootimage freeze

Hi guys,
right now after hours of looking around for a thread helping me out... i need help of an expert. My history:
I was ending a telefone call normally when the DZ was freezing in that event. After some time i had to put out the battery, nothing else seemed to help. After that the desire z freezes while booting (HTC boot logo) in a boot loop.
technical facts:
Vision PVT Ship S-Off
HBoot 0.85.005
Microp-0425
Radio 26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
Oct. 11 2010 20:10:38
What i did to my phone:
After geeting my DZ i was rooting it with adb and one of the how-TOs of xda-dev. Everything was fine. Then i was installing cyanogenmod 7.0.3 through rom manager. Afterwards i tried MiUI. All was working fine for me until that event after finishing the call. CWM is not installed anymore due to a try to install the PC10IMG.zip from the rooting progress directly through the SD Card and hboot.
Updating from SD-Card also does not work. Fail-PU is more or less the only info i get from hboot. Also it gets stuck when updating radio V2. No reaction of the phone. Update from hboot is not finished normally.
I have no clue anymore...bricked?
Any suggestions helping me out are welcome.
Thanks in advance
Alex

Are you sure CWM isn't installed? Try powering on while holding down the vol+down to get into the bootloader and selecting "recovery"; you may just have a bad recovery file.

Hi OriginalGabriel,
when i choose recovery, there is the screen appearing shortly when the SD card is prepared. Then the phone gets dark and i need to pull the battery! At the end there was MiUI on the phone, which is, as far as i experienced, based on cyanogenmod.
There is another issue i try to understand:
I have no chance to connect with adb. I tried it on hboot but no chance. MyHTC is showing up at the device manager. I need to go back to s-on somehow, otherwise i have a problem.
Thanks for any hint.

[Q] Which RUU for HBOOT 0.80.0002

Hi, trying to fix my Wildfire and i've got a bit stuck.
It currently won't boot and hangs on the vodafone bootlogo, eventually after a long wait says "SORRY: Process system is not repsonding".
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.80.0002
MICROP-0622
TOUCH PANEL-AMTEL224_16ab
RADIO-3.35.15.31
I can up+power boot and have tried repeatedly to RECOVER and CLEAR STORAGE
but this sees the same result. From what i've gleemed from reading alot of posts and trying numerous things I can't S-OFF as I can't boot.
Only thing that appears to make a difference is running an RUU once vodafone logo comes up and then the phone will go into bootloader but I am getting Errors.
Tried a few versions :
RUU_Bee_Alltel_WWE_1.07.671.2_Radio_1.00.00.1001_NV_Alltel_2_60_NoCNV_release_152081_signed.exe
RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe
RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_130814_signed.exe
None of these have actually worked yet and give me various errors. Most progress so far is with error [131] Customer ID Error, which I believe is because I'm not using the correct version.
So any help with which version I should use would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
This might help.

Stay clear of the Bee RUU. The Bee is a different phone compared to the Buzz (Wildfire) and you might end up damaging your phone more. For Error 131, you will need to create a Goldcard. Guide can be found in the link posted above (Pt 3) by sly.

your best bet is to use the goldcard and upgrade to hboot 1.01.0001 (think thats it.) so then you can use revolutionary to s-off
Thankyou all for your replys.
I too think the answer is to create a gold card.
But as I said in my post the reason for trying to flash is that i CAN'T boot and i believe having read numerous guides on making a goldcard you need to be able to boot.
Is there a way to make a gold card without booting or do I need to look at a different solution/method?

gold card is created on sdcard i think,so use a usb card reader hooked up to pc to create the gold card.
A Goldcard is indeed created on the microSD but you need the phone booted and connected to get the CID to created the godlcard
Unless there is another way to get CID then I don't think this is going to be possible. I did ready about mtty.exe but I don't know how to use it or if it is also possible without the phone being once again booted
Thanks for trying to help, all input is appreciated

I'm pretty sure you can do a data reset from HBOOT:
Using the Volume UP + DOWN keys, scroll down to DATA RESET and select it using the POWER button. I'm not sure if it is exactly called DATA RESET, might be FACTORY RESET or something along those lines. When you select that, doesn't it reset everything?
Good luck
That's clear storage, I'm not sure but I think it formats the sd, i think to get to the stock recovery choose recovery from hboot then press vol up + power, there may be something in there to help but it's nowhere near as advanced as Cwm.
Is there any way the htcdev bootloader unlock could help?
I mean if you can get partial s-off with that then you can fastboot flash Cwm and wipe everything.

Clear storage doesn't erase the SD card.
I know that, because when I go back to a sense ROM I install a fix (for the wallpapers and stuff) that requires me to Clear storage.
Oh, I've never done it before, what's it wipe then, just apps and App data?

Pretty much the same thing as Data wipe/Factory reset in CWM.
Delets the /data partition (Not sure about sdext though)
Well tried a few more things and still no advancement...
Can't create a gold card because I ...
Can't get me CID because I ...
Can't boot ...
Any ideas ? ?
Normally, it should be solved by flashing a Vodafone RUU, but I cant seem to find one for the Wildfire...
Anyway, one more suggestion, have you tried rooting your device via Unrevoked from the HBoot menu itself? If that does work out, you can get Clockworkmod Recovery which should help in flashing a generic ROM. Guide here:

[Q] Accidentally updated boot and lost root HTC G2`

First off, I'm fairly noobish. I've had my G2 rooted since the phone came out. I've used CWM and tried out about a dozen ROMs successfully.
Tonight I made the mistake of not having PC10IMG.zip present on my sdcard after flashing a new rom and pushed the wrong button when it asked if I wanted to update my bootloader. This is the ROM I was looking to try out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493404
Now, if I have PC10IMG.zip present when I go into the bootloader I get the message "Main Version is older! Update Fail! Press <POWER> to reboot.
If I rename the file, the bootloader will load successfully and I can get into Clockwork Recovery but CW Recovery doesn't actually do anything and I'm pretty sure it's because I lost root and s-off when I accidentally updated the bootloader. Any time I choose a menu option in CW Recovery, it just goes to the CWM emblem and sits there. If I press power or menu key, it brings me back to the menu list.
I have several roms and backups on my SD card, including a backup I made before all of this happened tonight.
This is what is at the top of my bootloader:
VISION PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.82.0000
RADIO-26.02.01.15_M2
eMMC-boot
Sep 2 2010, 17:59:00
So basically, I have a phone that will not boot past HTC screen and any attempt to go into recovery or factory data reset sends me into ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.7 which doesn't work because I've lost root and s-off.
I even tried using PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed renamed to PC10IMG.zip and get the message "main version is older, update failed"
Did I brick my G2?
Any help is very appreciated! I'm good at following directions and am willing to do the work to teach myself the various steps. I just couldn't find this particular scenario anywhere online. So if there's a way to say "Do this (link to instructions), this (another link), etc etc"; I'll gladly wade through all the guides. That way I'm not making anyone write up a step-by-step if the work has already been done.
In the spirit of trading knowledge; I work as a repair technician for a cellphone repair shop (physical repairs) so if anyone has any questions regarding doing physical repairs; I'm happy to help out. Make a post and PM so I know to go read it and I'll help anyway I can.
You just need to re-root; follow the guide in the wiki.

Some of these instructions seem like they need the phone to boot...
For example, I can use adb to push everything except for the files that need to go into /sdcard/
I have another phone that I can just drop the files onto the sdcard root, however there are some other areas that aren't working either
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
returns 'Failed to set prot mask (Inappropriate ioctl for device)'
This is happening because without the phone booting, the sdcard isn't accessible, right?
C:\Users\Jove\Downloads\g2>adb push su /sdcard/
failed to copy 'su' to '/sdcard//su': Read-only file system
Flash back to your stock rom (whatever carrier your with) then reroot you'll be able to put it all the adb commands once get a rom on your device. If your device was bricked you wouldn't be able to boot it up

The phone does not boot past the white HTC screen. Clockwork Recovery doesn't work. Renaming the stock rom to PC10IMG.zip doesn't work.
Is there another way to flash to the stock rom?
Also, how do you "thank" responders? Looking for the button and haven't found it
Can you get into the bootloader. Press power+vol down. If so, can't you just drop the factory rom on an sdcard and name it pc10img.
If you can get in the bootloader your not bricked.
EDIT : what was on the pc10img file that you updated? Try and get ahold of a guy named nipqer. That dude is money, he would definitely be able to help you lol
My hboot is oo.76.2000
Can you just flash the older hboot? Maybe that is why it says your trying to flash a newer version. Is the hboot you have on there now the dz? You might have to flash the g2 hboot, then put the stock rom back on, downgrade and reroot.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Grab the latest rom for your phone from here http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision
Run the exe or extract the rom.zip from it and put it on your sdcard as PC10IMG.zip.
Do a full downgrade and root.
Or you could maybe try run misc_version in recovery to allow the downgrade in the first place

If I remove the PC10IMG.zip and load the bootloader, any option I choose on the bootloader list like Recovery or Factory Data Reset; loads up Clockwork Recovery, which is non-functional. None of the menu items actually work in CW Recovery.
Am I missing a step here?
As far as the question as to what was on the PC10IMG.zip that I updated from... that's just it, it didn't prompt me to update until I had removed that file from my sd card and then it was just a matter of pressing the wrong button to tell it NO.
Ok, so you had a file named pc10img.zip on your sdcard, randomly? My phone will only want to update if I have a file named pc10img.zip on the sdcard, otherwise it just skips through.
It updated to whatever that file name was, that would help to know. Did you have the dz boot on your phone?

I honestly don't know which hboot/rom it read when it did the update. I had a PC10IMG.zip on there that it had been using for a ROM from nearly 8 months ago and I don't even remember which rom I was using. I want to say it was PyroMecha_Micro-2.3.5 but thats a shot in the dark. It's the last ROM I remember switching to.
To the best of my recollection, here is what I did... I tried using CWM to install:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493404
And when it wouldn't work, I removed the existing PC10IMG I had on my SD Card, rebooted, it booted fine... went into CWM, installed the ROM, it said it installed correctly and then froze on white HTC screen. I left it there for over 10 mins and then pulled the battery and used voldown+pwr to load bootloader; that's when it prompted me to update (I believe it was VolUp to update, VolDown to decline) either way, I ended up updating it.
I've attempted to go through the instructions for misc_version and could not get the fre3vo debug to work even after reading the instructions for narrowing down the debug search parameters.
I was able to download the following
Download this PC10IMG.zip file, which contains the DesireZ Engineering HBOOT,
My bootloader reads this PC10IMG.zip and does not prompt to update or anything. However, any attempt to recovery or factory data reset sends me into Clockwork Recovery. Once in CW Recovery, no matter which menu option I choose, it brings up the Blackhat with an orange arrow forming a circle beneath the hat. The home key and the power button bring the CWR menu back up. Basically CWR is non-functional.
This leads me to believe that I AM using the DZ Hboot, am I right?

I actually have the entire clockwork backup I did before I started. Is that of any use? I also have previous backups from last summer.
Just in case I haven't said it enough: Thanks everyone! It's been a learning experience and I'm still hopeful that I can get this thing going.
I'm working right now, and its hard to comment back, but I know, I think on irc channel #g2root they can give you immediate help.
Have you tried running the previous backup that you have?

See if that leads you in the right direction.

No worries, I'm at work too. I have an LG G2X I'm using so I'm not in a hurry; its more a puzzle I'm trying to solve since I'd rather not turn my HTC G2 into a paperweight. LOL
I haven't fully read the thread but it looks spot on. Thanks for the link!
Or you could maybe try run misc_version in recovery to allow the downgrade in the first place

Nipqer is there a way to change the version when my phone won't boot past the white HTC screen?
I can connect using fastboot usb and I can connect with adb if I let the phone boot into the white HTC screen.
However, as stated before, my CW recovery doesn't work when I try to load into recovery and I cannot access my SD card from my terminal on my PC (when using adb while the phone is on white HTC screen)
It sounds like I have the exact issue that is in the thread mrbmg just posted but I don't see a fix for it under the circumstances I have.
If we can find a way to resolve this under these circumstances, I'll gladly write up a How-To for it.
Thanks!
I hear that. I think that is the thread you are looking for. I've done that before when changing out my radios, but I never flashed my roms through the pc10img...
I try to make it a habit when I'm using the pc10img option off my sdcard to switch it back to another name.. it happens though, I've never unrooted that way though. Should be interesting to fix.

Yeah, I definitely don't feel like it is UN-fixable but I'm learning as I go for sure. I cringed the moment I hit the wrong button on that update LOL

I've looked up on the forum for solutions but it didn't helped me out.
Edit: I've managed somehow to get to the recovery option but when I selected it I get the following (file in attachment)
Kind regards,

Did you do anything to it or did it do anything out of the ordinary just before it did this?

My friend said he didn't rom it, but another friend of him broke his screen and did let him repair it by someone who I not know. And I think he did something wrong with it perhaps.
I am now in the android system recovery but moving down isn't really an option the hardware key is stuck (I think))

You could try to find a compatible RUU and run it. Aside from that I can't really help because I have no idea what's been done.

Can I do a RUU with a phone that isn't working correctly? via fastboot then?
If the volume down key is stuck, then when you turn it on you're really pressing power and volume down, which is how you get into hboot. Open the battery compartment and see if you can unstick the button.

With the RUU I get error 120 battery less than 30% but when I stick it in it is 100% (I believe otherwise the battery is broken too)
I've managed it to get him into safemode can I do something from out of here?
