Develop Bugs

Well, I think I killed it :(

Having a problem with my DHD after unlocking the bootloader through HTCDEV and then running the Advanced ACE Hack Kit.
It appears to be flashing roms but when rebooting it's just freezing at the HTC screen.
Now, I know it must be something I've done/I'm doing but I have no idea what so can someone please talk me through flashing the easiest rom in the easiest way?

Can you access to the bootloader(Turn off the device then press and hold vol down and power together until booted)?

Yep. I can get into the bootloader so i've been going into recovery (which is now ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7) and trying to flash different roms from there but none are working so it must be something I'm doing

What it sais when you try and fail.Are there any errors ?

Nope. I've tried 4 different roms and they all seem to work but when it reboots I just get the HTC at startup but it hangs there

You are not bricked if you can access bootloader.
You have to flash the Roms boot.img separate when you flash roms with unlocked bootloader, I would recommend to run the ruu from your computer when in fastboot mode, then relock the bootloader using HTCdev and rerun the advanced ace hack kit.

I know I'm gonna look like a complete spaz here but can you tell me how to do it? I flashed my Magic and it was so easy compared to this :-S
Where do I put the rom? Do I need to unzip it first? Amd what commands do I use in fastboot?

Which of it? flash Rom or get real S-OFF?

Dont unzip it copy to sdcard root.check android development stickies you got your answers and tools there you need to wipe everything then flash over and flash 4ext recovery wipe boot.imp then flash a rom

Gixermouse, you commited a mistake covered in the effen manual...you tried running the kit with an unlocked bootloader. You need to relock it first and then re run the Kit.
Do the following:
1) Boot in hboot and then choose fastboot.
2) Plug the phone (until you see fastboot usb)
3) Open a cmd as Admin in the PC or Terminal as root (in linux or mac)
4) Type: fastboot oem lock
then you should see OKAY. finished...then reboot the phone and from the htc screen run the Hack Kit again...
It will work unless you did a factory reset....if you need help just let me know...:good:

OK! I've followed what you said to do and on the HBOOT scree it now says *** RELOCKED *** at the top but when I try to run the hack kit it's saying "Error: device not found". I've tried at the HTC screen, HBOOT screen ad FASTBOOT screen. Any ideas?

umm...it seems that u have done a factory reset. I guess the best u can do is to flash a ruu, go back to stock and then when working re run the Hack Kit to gain S-OFF and root.
Do you know, what your cid is? boot in fastboot, plug the phone until you see fastboot usb and then from a cmd session as admin type
fastboot getvar all....paste here the INFOcidnum

since ur are saying that it says no device found then u have no other option but to flash the p98img.zip through fastboot but make sure not to flash a dhd shipped with gingerbread with a froyo ruu.Peace

What country and carrier is your phone from? The AAHK has am option to download RUUs. Try to use that. If that doesn't workout, I'll try to find an RUU for you (depending on your country and carrier).

The phone is a replacement board fitted by HTC under waranty after mine died (through no fault of my own that time!)
It wasn't network locked and was running 2.3.5 when I recieved it.
By booting in recovery and mounting the system data and cache I was able to make it appear to flash a rom and when I did a backup the files were on there but it still wouldn't boot.
If there's anything else you need let me know because the LG-A100 I've borrowed is now driving me crazy and I'm getting a bit desperate

I have downloaded RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M
it detects the phone, says that my image version is 3.13.0.0. and that it will be updated to
3.13.405.1, starts updating and stops some time after with error 155
I have also downloaded correct p98img.zip for my radio, it flashes ok from recovery when i put it on sdcard.
Does anyone know why did the device lock itself ? why I can not unlock it again ?
Some say that these error messages in clockwork mod are because of faulty emmc chip.
Is there some hope for this phone ? Can I restore it to stock rom, just as it was....
Please help

same problem here

Relock the bootloader and use AAHK to root, S-OFF & SuperCID (SIM Unlock)
Sent from another dimension...
thanks don't hurt ya know?

But my bootloader is already relocked ? it says s ON

S-on means else. You can detect whether your bootloader is unlocked or relocked on the top of your boot menu. But I guess AAHK won't solve your problem, because if you have the same problem as me, your phone doesn't boot up, so you can't use AAHK.

You are getting better bub
Problem with htc dev method, you need to flash the boot img instead of the way we explain the flashing process in the threads.
What guy said is right. Relock the bootloader. Im not sure if you have to flash a ruu and then use the hack kit to get s-off or just use the hack kit.
Search the forum. This issue has been covered plenty of times.

Ah, now I get it, my bootloader is unlocked because thats what it says on top of the recovery screen :
*** Unlocked ***
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
So i have to find out how to relock the bootloader.
Where to find boot img ? I have downloaded the p98img.zip but it only has the radio.img
If anyone has some directions please help... Meanwhile ill search the forums

Open the ROM zip file, in there is boot.img; use that

I did use the wwe ruu , I mentioned that on my first post.
I used one for my radio :
RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.6 0.29_26.14.04.28_M
It says that my image version is 3.13.0.0. and that it will be updated to
3.13.405.1, starts updating and stops some time after with error 155.

Take a break, don't start trying things without being sure what you are doing.
Ok, so you relocked the bootloader.
Im not sure what the next step is, if you have to flash a ruu or not. Do a search, check what the next step is. Come back and report.
I can't remember if you have to flash a ruu or not or if there was anything else involved before running the hack kit. Im going to try and find something after I've had some coffee. In the meantime search and report back.

I will allso search the forums.
I have not relocked the bootloader, I am currently on my job and I can not do anything till I come home...

Up to this moment, I have figured out that I have to pull out the rom.zip from ruu , and rename it to p98... and put it in the phone.
but how to lock the bootloader ....im still reading about it...

'To relock, just boot to hboot and choose fastboot.
Plug the phone and You should see fastboot USB in red.
Open a CMD as admin or terminal as root in the PC
Type: fastboot oem lock'
great here is info how to do it via adb command, after that I will get the rom.zip from temp folder of the ruu which i used and try with that....

Yup, sounds like you are heading in the right direction.
Sent from a dream.

I will try that tomorrow.
Only thing I can not figure out is, when I tried to update it via ruu from windows, it gave me error 155, why would this method via recovery work ?
I hope it will ) but i'm a bit worried about it ...

Hi, need some help

Ive been reading this section of the forum for 2 nights now. read various threads and none the wiser.
Ive unlocked my htc one x using the windroid htc one app which worked fine, but installing a rom was not as easy. now < i admit, i dived in and installed a ROM without seeing what else it needs to work ( am used to flashing nexus roms) and now its stuck at the HTC screen. Now i've tried various ways to rectify the proplem. uisng various roms, flashing boot.img before flashing the rom, no go. tried older roms, no go.
I know the hboot needs updating, but without a cid id then i cant find a matching firmware.zip.
Ive tried to do a RUU boot by locking the bootloader but get this:

thanks for your help that got the phone back to booting properly
I flashed it and it worked. I got myself back to the latest update. Now i tried various roms again as i'm one for experimenting but some of the newest ones dont seem to want to work.
ones i've tried>
Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_33.1
HTC_One_X_-_MaximusHD_21.0.0
OneX The Next Chapter! v1.2
but none of them worked for me.
So i went lower with
cm-10.1.3-endeavoru which worked
then updated to
cm-10.2.0-endeavoru and flashed the boot.img for it to work.
Now for the other roms, what am i missing? is it the firmware.zip? hboot level?
Am bowing down to Thant, and hoping he can tell a mere minion what he's doing wrong

I don't think you updated far enough ! Post the outcome of :
Fastboot getvar version-main
Edit :
I see thant is offline, so i chip in......

cyanogenmod stable rom not recognising sim, and not being recognised by htc sync
Hi i just unlocked and rooted my phone. one of the first things i did after having rooted it was go into rom-manager and download the highest rated cyanogen mod stable rom...expecting it to reboot itself and do the update automatically once id downloaded the file i was suprised when nothing happened...so i put it into recovery mode myself and searched the phone's storage for the rom file...it was infact two files, one the rom, the other gapps...i installed both of them and rebooted the phone...at first i was left on cyanogenmod bootloop...after a few restarts, and factory resets, i eventually got past the cyanogen mod intro wheel, to its actual introduction *asking me to choose a language*, as soon i choose my language i get notification asking me to insert my simcard (it already is, OF COURSE...), as i go through the rest of the setup there is no network coverage or internet..so i cant simply download rom-manager and try another flash..it also wont come up as a recognised device on my macbook...ive downloaded another flash of cyanogenmod on my laptop along with a new gapps, but im utterly lost about what to do now...i cant even put them on the phone....

the reason i'm so frustrated is aside from the supposedly stable build of cyanogen mod i downloaded in rommanager not working, the rom doesnt recognise my sim, i dont have access to the internet, so i cant simply download a new rom to flash straight from rom manager...as well as this the wifi doesn't seem to work on this flash...and to make matters worse it's not being recognised by the drivers...i'm using htc sync manager..when i plug in the phone it will open htc sync manager but wont show that a phone is paired to my macbook
...when u say manually can i do this directly from my phone or do i need to connect it to a computer?

You must connect it to PC..And then go to fastboot and flash boot.img file..Then you will have signal,wifi etc..

yep fastboot oem lock

Then it might be easier to flash the 3.14.401 firmware to upgrade the hboot to 1.39. Then you can flash any rom you want, and there is also a ruu for that. Sorry i have no time to explain now (heading home from work)
Look for the firmware placeholder thread, read the instructions and download the 3.14.401 firmware.zip from there.

i already had the ota 3.14.401 and got the firmware.zip from there.
its installed fine and i now can put most roms onto it.
:victory: thank you Mr Hofs
So i get this right in my head. The phones firmware.zip needed updated so it would update hboot and other things.
Now to flash roms is the procedure to flash the boot.img contained inside first then install the rom <----which is they way ive being doing it

[Q] Pls help - HTC One X stuck on quietly brilliant screen and won't restore

Hi Friends,
First things first - I have looked up and tried several things that other folks facing similar issues have tried. None of it has worked for me.
Coming to the problem now.
It all began when I decided to unroot and install a custom ROM on my stock HTC One X and downloaded a stable build from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_endeavoru.
I followed the tutorials and unlocked my device and started off with CWM recovery 5.8.2.7. Did some experiemenation with backup and recovery. So far, so good.
I decided to use the 4.4 ROM and as per some information available it needed me to update to CWM 6.0.4.8. I did so but when I tried to go in recovery, the screen went blank. Tried it multiple times without luck.
Then I switched over to TWRP 2.7.1 and used it to install the cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-endeavoru.zip. It failed with status 7. Assert checks on bootloader ver failed (as per checks it would need anything 1.28 or higher). I am on hboot 1.12. I extracted the boot.img from the rom zip and flashed it from fastboot. It showed no change in hboot version (maybe this is where I faulted). It still won't install rom zip as I would expect.
Now the phone won't go beyond "Quietly Brilliant" screen on power on. Recovery to saved backup says its successful but it still gets stuck at same screen on reboot.
Would appreciate help and pointers from anyone who could help.
Thanks in advance,
Kunal

Hi Thant,
Thanks for your tip. I will give this a try (though I will be able to try it out someone later this week only and provide update how it went).
Having said that, I have one question though - the link to RUU you specified looks like for unlocked HTC Europe version. I'm from India and I found that there might be one with same radio for India here.
Not doubting your advice, but just want to know what is the basis for knowing what RUU one must use ?
Also, can I choose the one for India (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_India_3.14.720.24_Radio_5.1204.162.29) ?
thanks,

yes if you want, most of the people like European version not Asian. It is your choice you are S-OFF and you can flash what you want on your phone. And the radio is the same

Hi Thant,
I did try the RUU you told me to use but update failed with error 159.
There are some RUUs for Indian models at http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Endeavor and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189048 but none for JB.
I have provided the getvar dump earlier but can't seem to find what I need to use (sorry for being a noob here). Please suggest what I can do more.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hi Thant,
I have not yet tried tried the ICS RUU you suggested. But before I go ahead, here's some more info.
The Android version, HTC Sense version both say "Protected"
Software number is "Unknown"
HTC SDK API level is 4.23
Kernel is 2.6.39.4-g7ecc196
Baseband version is 2.1204.135.20
Build no. is 0.1.0.0 (20130509 EndeavorU_Generic_WWE#178434)
Boot loader says -
ENDEAVORU XE ENG S-OFF RH
CID-11111111
HBOOT- 1.12.2000 (PJ461****)
CPLD-None
MICROP-None
RADIO-2.1204.135.20
Now, should I go ahead with the ICS RUU ?
How do I know what Android version I'm on ? Why would it say protected ? Any command I can fire from fastboot/adb ?
[getvar says (bootloader) version-main: 0.0.0.178434]

Hi Thant,
Before trying what you suggested (for manual update) I tried the ICS RUU once again. It went through fine this time not sure why, then I did an OTA upgrade and now I'm on Android 4.0.4 hboot 1.12 (same as before but on 2.17.720.2). There are no more OTA updates available, though HTC india website says there is one available for 3.14.720.24 which is JB version and should automatically update my hboot which I can then hopefully use to update to 4.4 ROM. Do you think what I think is going to work ?
But I can't find the OTA firmware for 3.14.720.24. There was one available here but no more.
There's one here but not sure about the authenticity of this.
I have downloaded the firmware zip you shared but it seems the file is corrupt.
Thanks,
Kunal

[SOLVED]No system installed, H3G__001, S-ON, Relocked, No recovery

Hello everyone, The story with my htc is that an error "Unfortunately settings has stopped" popped up so I went into bootloader and formatted the device, now once the device booted I couldn't get trough setup as the same message popped up over and over so couldn't do anything, then I decided to unlock the bootloader and install twrp so that a custom ROM would work, but once I installed twrp I wouldn't boot system or recovery... so I tried to flash stock recovery but that failed so clever and tired me relocked the device and now the device is relocked and when I attempt to unlock it fastboot claimed a "success" but phone still shows relocked and twrp doesn't want to flash
you must me curious why didn't I just flash the ruu? Well... for this device its cid is H3G__001 and if I can't find a ruu for that that would be correct with the details of the device that would be great
