Problem with unloocking bootloader on Virgin Mobile (htc a510c)

I am having a problem, I go to the HTC Dev site, tells me I need to download a new rom, but when I download the Virgin Mobile rom, it restart the phone then it gives me an error that I have the wrong version.
I dont understand though, the phone says Virgin Mobile. Can anyone help me?

I found these steps. I have problems on number 7, which says *
"Scroll down, choose your phone version, download RUU"
When I download Virgin Mobile, it goes through its process, reboots the phone, you see the HTC logo, then the program errors out saying I have the wrong rom. How can I have the wrong rom? I have a Virgin Mobile Wildfire S, and that is what I downloaded. Any ideas?
STEP 1 - Update HBOOT to support generating device tokens
* Go to http://htcdev.com/
* Click "unlock bootloader" and then "get started"
* On the right, chose HTC Wildfire S from the dropdown
* Click begin unlock bootloader
* Login, or register first, then login
* Confirm the 2 nasty boxes and agree all stuff
* Scroll down, choose your phone version, download RUU
* Run RUU.exe and flash new HBOOT
* Click proceed
* Remove battery, re-insert, boot into bootloader (Power + Vol-)
* Click proceed
* get those 3 files: adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, fastboot.exe, read how to get them if you do not have them
* open a terminal as it is done on the site
* enter the command: fastboot oem get_identifier_token
* Copy the identifier token and
* paste it at the bottom of the page
* submit

I believe I figured it out, I found a thread somewhere else that had the answer. I'll try it tomorrow though, I am beat spent 2 hours on this. Here is the quote though for the fix
"4: You will find 2 zip folders named rom_01 and rom_02, copy these 2 zips to your desktop
5: Now change the name of rom_01 (im not 100% sure if its 01 or 02 that you need to do first, I cant remember) to PG76IMG and copy it over to a microSD, insert into your phone and boot into HBoot, it will go through the normal process of detecting and then opening the zip and will ask you if you wish to update the radio to v2 (it should only ask to update the radio, because you need to do it first before you use the second file which asks to update both the radio and hboot) allow to do so and it will do its thing and when completed ask to reboot."

I am not sure where to begin. I have been all over this forum and another trying to find the answer.
I believe I got my bootloader unlocked,

Now that you're unlocked, try using the same all in one tool to ROOT the phone. Then flash CWM, because you need root for CWM. I suggest using rezo609's All-In-One Utility if that's not what you are already using.
There's no need of 1.08.0099 or 1.09.0099 because the one you have is the latest UNLOCKABLE bootloader.
And since you have an A510c, why don't you go ahead and S-OFF it? It's really simple. You'll find a guide in the index in the general section.
Good luck!

Here all this time I thought I needed to downgrade. ;/
So I need to root before I can install CWM? Didn't know that. I'll take a look at the general section for the s-off.
I just needed someone to point me in the right direction.
I tried to root it but I think the TOOL is asking me to install root.zip but it reboots and it just stays on the HTC logo screen. What do I do? The instructions are asking me to select root,zip but i have no option to do so, it just stays on the htc screen. I do not have CWM installed.

That's quite strange.
Okay, considering you have adb installed, pit the adb files in a folder called android.
Put it in any drive you want. Put the cwm img in the same folder.
Name the image file as recovery.img
Suppose you have the folder on c drive, type this :
cd c:\android
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Do you have the root.zip?
Cwm recovery should boot. Then flash the root.zip.
Tell me if it doesn't work.

I did as you asked, after I got this message, I tried to boot into recovery to get into CWM, and I just get the HTC logo, its basically stuck until I remove the battery. Any other suggestions?

I managed to solve my problem thanks to SomeDudeOnTheNet. <--Awesome guy!
Now that I have S-Off and have CWM, I am trying to install a rom. I was recommended HenseMod. My issue at the momment is that it rebooted once on me clearing/wiping the phone, and rebooted again on me while trying to install a rom and another time it froze. Any ideas?

Working on one of these right now... currently have unlocked and S-Off, just flashed the recovery.img successfully, can get into the first screen of clockwork, but it freezes either as soon as I hit the button or on a white HTC screen.
once I got the zip install option to work, and installed the root.zip, but it just froze and rebooted shortly after.
I'm thinking that without su, the recovery can't push the root.zip or any other rom zips... so I'm still looking for a way to get root.
This is a tough nut!

How exactly did you unlock your HBOOT menu because I'm having the same problem

HELP. HOX is dead

Hello
Yesterday i unlocked bootloader on htc one x. Then i tried to root it but when i finished my hox did reboot and then reboot all the time. It goes on start screen of android and then reboot again. I cant do anything. Any idea or help?

How did you root it?
Did you flash a ROM without flashing its boot.img and fastboot erase cache?
Did you install a custom recovery?
What screen are you stuck on? "htc quietly brilliant"?

I remember when this happened to me when I first tried to root my phone (First Android phone actually) lol I freaked out.. In my case it's because I didn't make a full wipe after unlocking bootloader and flashing Cyanogen, just booted into Recovery, full wipe/wipe cache and it worked.
Tell us what you did like BenPope said, did you flash the boot.img for the ROM you installed?

the first i did was to unlock bootloader from htcdev. Afther that i tried to root by a guide from this forum:
ALTERNATE ROOT METHOD - 'INSECURE BOOT AND ROOT'
This zip file contains an insecure boot image to flash to your device and a script which will then push the root (SuperSU) files to your device. This is only tested on 1.27.401.2 / 1.27.401.7. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Download
InsecureBootAndRoot r3 - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - MD5: a16bff582cb0e25fd3b422652d753ca7
How to use InsecureBootAndRoot - Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the InsecureBootAndRoot zip file above and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume down' button pressed to enter the bootloader, then press the power button again to enter fastboot.
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-insecure-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-insecure-mac.sh' followed by './install-insecure-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-insecure-linux.sh' followed by './install-insecure-linux.sh'
The device will now flash the new boot image and reboot. Keep the device attached to USB and when it has rebooted, ensure USB debugging is enabled - the SuperSU files will then be installed.
CONVENTIONAL ROOT METHOD - 'SUPERBOOT' (currently not functioning on shippping devices).
Superboot is a boot.img that when booted, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash any partitions, no need to mess around with ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just boot the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!
Download
Superboot r1 - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - MD5: c79821d5d75d57dff8a5ffe7493241fd
The superboot image is also 'insecure', allowing you to use 'adb remount' as well as having full ADB root access to your device until such time as you reboot after running this process (it's a non permanent ADB root as it's a 'fastboot boot' and not a 'fastboot flash' but it IS a permanent root in all other regards!).
How to use Superboot - Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the Superboot zip file above and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume down' button pressed to enter the bootloader, then press the power button again to enter fastboot.
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh'
That was the steps. I didnt tried to put a custom rom yet. And the worst is that i need my number and i dont have an another device with micro sd. :/

It's funny, because there are two methods that you've pasted there. I have to ask, why did you not go with the recommended one? The one you didn't paste here?
Try it, you might like it.

I tried the first one and after i saw that my hpox rr all the time i tried the second one.
You mean this method?
EASIEST ROOT METHOD - 'RECOVERY + SUPERSU'
The easiest way to get root is now to install the official ClockworkMod release and then flash the latest SuperSU zip file. This approach is highly recommended (I also recommend running a backup as soon as you've flashed clockworkmod!)
I do now and nothing. Cant get the command.

I don't understand what "my hpox rr all the time" means.
At the top of your hboot does it say ENDEAVORU or EVITA?
What does "can't get the command" mean?
Edit: ahh, is it "command not found" when you try to run fastboot?

You could just flash a rooted rom and kernel now, it should work fine.
Flash this recovery http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Install a rom from recovery, you can mount usb from recovery to copy rom to phone.
Then flash the kernel from fastboot that acompanies the rom.

ENDEAVORU is good.
I kind of expected you to be flashing clockworkmod 5.8.4.0 as the recovery.
Once that's done, you take a backup, download the SuperSU zip file, boot into recovery, mount sd as USB, copy the zip onto the SD card, unmount and flash it.

I dont know what you flashed, but you'd be better off with the latest clockworkmod, version 5.8.4.0
Doing a backup from that recovery is easy.

What I dont get is why you didn't just root/unlock bootloader via htcdev.com

[Q] I'm worried I killed my phone

I decided earlier today that I'd try to root my one X, but I wound up screwing up to the point that I'm lost. I accidentally wiped the system while in recovery, and when I rebooted, it kept looping. By pressing the power/down button, I can get into the bootloader, and from there into recovery. In the recovery, I was able to look around using a file manager but only found empty folders.
I used adb push to try to get a rom onto the phone, but I'm not able to flash it. When I go to reboot, it informs me that there's no OS installed.
If anybody has any idea what I can do, it would be much appreciated.

im assuming you already unlocked your phone
1.Enter fastboot by holding power + volm down.
2.Select fastboot
3.plug in USB
4.flash recovery with the command: 'fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery here>
5.flash the boot.img that came with the ROM, usually it's located within the zip file
6.erase cache using command: 'fastboot erase cache'
7.select Hboot to return to main menu
8. go to recovery
9. wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik from advanced options, format system from mounts and storage menu
10. in mounts and storage, select mount usb
11. copy over ROM zip
12. Install from ZIP
13. reboot system
PS. your phone is only bricked if it can't turn on. obviously it's not going to boot up if there is nothing to bootup, lol

Just ensure your recovery is a recent version, like clockworkmod 5.8.4.0, otherwise mounting won't work.

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't entirely understand how to flash the recovery, however.
I assume I'm running the command on the computer. How do I know what to type in as the recovery?

Mate, did you even do your research before attempting any of this?
Anyway,
Make sure you got HTC sync installed, also Android SDK
1/ Open to a command prompt by going: start -> type in cmd
2/ browse to your folder containing fastboot and adb using the 'cd' command
e.g. My fastboot folder is located at "C:/htc/fastboot" so I would type: 'cd C:/htc/fastboot'
If you're using the one from SDK it could look like C:\Users\Steven\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
3/ enter the commands -fastboot flash recovery ...., fastboot flash boot.... etc.

Not nearly as well as I should have. I learned the hard way I guess. Thanks for putting up with my cluelessness though.
I've done as you said, but when I tried to boot into the recovery, I got stuck on it looping the "htc quietly brilliant" screen.

You sure you flashed it Successfully?
and downloaded clockworkmod from here?

Could it be that I have a bad boot.img? I'm using one out of the renovate 8.1.0 ROM.

I was able to get my phone running again by following the video here --Nevermind, Can't post the link yet. Should anyone need it, send me a message--. Basically, I had to relock the bootloader and install the RUU.
Now, however, I'm trying again to root my phone, but whenever I try to unlock the bootloader, it still remains locked ("relocked" on the bootloader screen). I can't find anything about how to fix this. Have I lost the ability to root my phone?

[Q] HTC Desire HD not working after flashing 4ext

My DHD will not boot up. I can put it into recovery mode, but am not able to navigate the menu with my volume buttons or select options with the power button.
This occurred after an (apparently failed) attempt to flash the 4ext recovery.img onto my phone.
My phone has an unlocked bootloader, S-ON, and not rooted, if that helps.
I appreciate any help with my issue in either successfully flashing the recovery.img or getting my phone to work in any way. Thanks!

probably the misc partition is fked, or the chip's gone bad.I'd try reflashing HBOOT by putting it manually via the sdcard, naming it PD98IMG.zip and putting the sdcard back.I'd wait out on another opinion though.

In case I don't get another option, could you instruct me on how to transfer the file to the sdcard? Sorry, not very knowledgable on this type of thing.

Remove it from the phone, insert it into a cardreader of some sort, transfer it to the sdcard renaming it to PD98IMG.zip,putting the file in the root of the sdcard, no folders, putting the card back into the phone, booting to Hboot, pressing the power button just once to start the procedure.If you can't press any of the buttons in HBOOT too, then your phone is effed.
again, don't try this before someone else gives an opinion on this matter.

Have you tried Glevitan's tool to flash CWM recovery? You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133336
Or actually, these are the steps his tool do for flashing the recovery (use adb.exe and fastboot.exe, and change the location of CWM image):
echo Rebooting into fastboot usb
echo.
adb reboot-bootloader
adb kill-server
sleep 10
set recovery=tools\recovery\recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-ace.img
fastboot flash recovery %recovery%
fastboot reboot​

Take The sdcard out And reboot in hboot. Then try navigating To fastboot

S-off, Relocked and no Root (SOLVED)

Hi guys,
I flashed stock back to my phone and relocked the bootloader by "fastboot oem lock".
I been stuck with this for the last 2 days searching for solution on how to get my phone unlocked and rooted again.
This is what I have tried so far:
1. Rumrunner 1.10.605.10 and 1.10.605.15 firmware (flashed 1.10.605.10 and updated to 15) - Run just fine, but it does not change anything on the phone. Still shows RELOCKED S-off and NO Root.
2. Firewater (temp-root method) - Temproot: Root acquired. Firewater: "there really isn't a helluva lot to do here. bye bye"
3. Flashing CM recovery - failed remote not allowed
Could someone please help me to get back Root access and UNLOCK my phone?
Thank you in advance.

If your s-off, all you have to do is fastboot flash a custom recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_file.img
Then flash superuser zip thru recovery. Then you will be rooted. Also it is a myth that you need to relock the bootloader to do an ruu, so that wasnt really needed. Not sure exactly how to unlock the bootloader again.

Ok try this then.
1. Download this file http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RECOVERIES/twrp/Twrp_2.6.3.4_RUU_Mode.zip, and place it on your pc in the same folder as fastboot.exe and adb.exe. Rename it to recovery.zip
2. Connect the phone to the pc and open a cmd prompt to where the files are, and type the following.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Wait for hboot.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Wait for grey HTC logo.
Code:
fastboot flash zip recovery.zip
Wait for cmd window to say it has finished.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
3. Hit power button to select bootloader, and then use the power button again to select recovery.
If all is well you should boot to TWRP 2.6.3.4. Then flash Superuser http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/Superuser/superuser.zip and you will be rooted.

Enable USB Debugging in Settings.
To do so, go to build information and tap it 7 times.
This will enable the Developer options in settings.
In there, check the box for Usb Debugging.
You should then be able to fastboot flash the recovery as per usual.
Good luck! :good:
