[Q] HTC S-ON Upgrade problem

Hello guys,
I need you. I bought a used HTC One X and I can't update it. I tried a lot of stuff on this forum and on other and I'm stuck.
Here's the datail of the model :
Bootloader menu :
Unlocked
ENDEAVORU S-ON
HBOOT 0.95.0000
Radio 2.1204.137D.21
May 8 2012
mid : PJ4610000
cid : none (but if i do a fastboot oem readcid I get VODAP203)
I've got a CWM recovery 5.8.4.0
What I want is just to get the last OTA update witch is OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_Vodafone_FR_2.17.163.4-1.29.163.13_release_280184trtqxlvyzym8i42x.zip if i understood well.
I can't boot anymore on the android system (it goes to the desktop screen and right away it reboots) Thanks to the 'mount usb storage i'm able to mount the SD card in the CMW. When I try to update the OTA file I have error 7. So I modified the updater-script in the zip but now it just say "installation aborted".
The android version is 4.0.3, and the OTA brings the 4.0.4. Anyway, I can't use the system cause It alwyas reboots.
So, how can I have a fresh and clean install ?
Thanks

Here's what I would do. Get the RUU (latest) for your device. I hope you find one (xda search should help out). Then, lock your bootloader, boot into fastboot and then run the RUU. You should be back to stock...do keep a back up of your apps if you need to install them again.
This is probably foolproof way to upgrade your ROM.

Thanks
I tried to search for a RUU for my CID and only find a old one. Older than the version I have now.
I don't think trying to flash with an older version work right ?
I'll try anyway...
Here's the only RUU I found :
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Vodafone_FR_1.26.163.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251225_signed.exe

The other option would be to ask in this thread, maybe someone would have a nandroid backup they could throw you, although i couldn't see one for your CID on the list, this is however subject to change, worth an ask

[Q] Desire HD cannot enter bootloader..

I have rooted and have Ace Pvt Eng S-off using AAHK.. fyi, mine is GB shipped, but fortunately pseudo eng boot is working fine..
The problem is when i have flash custom ROM viper and set it up everything, when i enter hboot, i and enter fastboot in the dropdown in hboot menu, after i select bootloader, it scan for a while and it shows message "[PD98DIAG.nbh] No image or wrong image!" or something like that, it is blinking very fast..
But, the phone itself is working, and boot viper very well.. so my question is, do i need to bother putting the right image inside directory somewhere in the sdcard or just left it be?
Sorry for asking this, if there is any thread explaining about this, please direct me to the right way..

That is perfectly normal....everytime you enter hboot, the phone parses for a PD98IMG.zip file and if you don't have any shows that message. What are you trying to do with the bootloader? Don't mess with that partition as you can end up with a brick. :good:

I see. So, where can i find the PD981IMG.zip and where should i put it into? fyi, i dont have systeminfo in bootloader but i saw some FAQ and they said that it is normal. But, with that, i dont know if i have a superCID or not. I think i read it somewhere that saying we should rename the custom ROM that we currently use into PD98DIAG.nbh and put it into the root directory so that it will not shows the message "[PD98DIAG.nbh] No image or wrong image!" again.. but is it true? I take a look at the aahk PD981IMG.zip compressed file and custom ROM compressed file but they are completely different..
I'm not using aahk PD981IMG.zip because it is downgrade ROM if i'm not mistaken which is downloaded during rooting, and if i put that file and the bootloader is reading that file, maybe there will be some inconsistency as i am running viper.. Right now i am currently running viperdhdv1.2.3, but i afraid that i might brick my desire hd if i flash another rom.. is that possible? what do you think glevitan?

LOL.. sorry about my messy explanation.. orait, start from the beginning. Please bear with me...
i have desire HD, GB shipped..
by using AAHK, i finally rooted it with pseudo eng hboot,
install CWM > flash viperdhdv1.2.3 > working fine..
Ok now when i enter bootloader, ( vol- + power button), it does not list systeminfo, so with that I cannot determine whether my device have SuperCID or not, because then i cannot flash unbranded ROMs.. so, question is:
Is there any way to know the CID besides systeminfo?
Is not having SuperCID will prevent my device from flashing any custom ROM?
Regarding this:
Code:
sd checking....
loading....[PD98DIAG.zip]
No Image
Loading....[PD98DIAG.nbh]
No Image or Wrong Image
Loading....[PD98img.zip]
No Image
Loading......[PD98img.nbh]
No Image or wrong image.
Where can i find the right img or nbh file? Do i need to rename the customROM boot.img into one of that and put it into root directory?

WHATTTTTT??? no buddy...you are doing everything wrong. IF you are S-OFF and have CWM or other custom recovery, then you are ready to go. SuperCID is not for custom roms...it has to be with carriers. System info is never displayed in hboot except for the hboot and radio version...do me a favor, read what I told you or the next time you will be asking help because you got stuck...

Ok the file for the zip and nbh is the update image, so if i doesnt want to update anything, why should i put anything inside isn't..
Orait, that one is settled.
When i enter bootloader, it shows "ACE PVT ENG S-OFF RL"
From what i read, RL stands for Relocked right? So is it mean i need to unlock it first to install custom ROM or what? And from what my friends said, ENG S-OFF is not stable and dangerous to flash custom ROMs as there is a chance to brick the device, so first i should try to make it shows "ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF" and after that I will be able to flash any ROM safely.. is that true?

Like the other person said please do a bit.more research and listen a bit more....don't mess with the partitions in your bootloader with s-off you can do some real damage...you don't need to unlock your bl if you already have s-off just go into recovery wipe and flash the zip...

I guess this is too much for me to comprehend so i just left it right there...
From what i read,
-S-off means security for NAND memory is deactivated, so we can write whatever we want on that..
-ENG hboot is a more advanced hboot compared to stock hboot, like able to flashing kernel or new radio using fastboot..
-So, if i just flashing new custom ROM without flashing radio, this means that my risk of bricking device is near zero right?
-So my question is, if eng hboot is better, why radio s-off is recommended in some thread?
-and why i have RL(Relocked) at the end of S-off?
Please give me some thread that explains about that.. I saw some thread but it is not answered. =.=
p/s: need to have some coffeeee....

Just answer this: How on earth is your bootloader relocked, if you never unlocked it?
ENG S-OFF should not be used. S-OFF is more than enough and allows you to flash whatever you want. PERIOD.....don't waste more time.

OTA Update 5.1 Help

So right now my phone says it's getting the 5.1 update OTA. I am using TWRP. When I try to install the update it goes to the TWRP everytime. I dont use custom roms, just what came with the phone. How do I update the phone?

Found out I need to return it to stock recovery before I can install an OTA update. So I tried using instructions found on the web made for the noob I am. But when I use the CDM console it tells me that it can't open the recovery file.
\
What do?
Edit: I just need step by step help on what to do. I just rooted it so I could have BB10-like gestures and stock android navigation buttons. I didnt know it would screw me over for OTA updates
Edit 2: I got it work, now the update fails and goes to bootloader and tell me this, i am using the carrier supplied OTA update.
"this package of fir"htc_himaulatt" devices; this is a "htc_himauhl""

This phone is a real hassle to update.
You won't be able to do OTAs until you return it to stock, and to do that, you'll have to run an RUU so that it removes TWRP and root. Make sure to re-lock the bootloader. So run the RUU of the latest version if it exists if you can then you won't have to OTA, or run the RUU that matches your phone's OS version and then take the OTA.

TWRP is removed using a stuck recovery image
the bootloader is relocked using commands from a video I watched on how to do it, it displays relocked when open.
however, now instead of getting the yellow error from before, I now get sent to the bootloader screen and nothing happens.
Edit: when I try to boot into recovery through the boatloads it gives me an error message saying it can't and takes me back to the white screen.

I guess you missed the whole part about restoring your system partition to stock
From the backup you made after installing TWRP .
You need an untouched system partition and Stock recovery.
At this point you should look for the RUU for your phone

what command erases everything and put it back to default, like how it was when i bought the phone.
Edit 2: re-unlocked the bootloader.
Device is giving me the same error as when I started. "this package of fir"htc_himaulatt" devices; this is a "htc_himauhl"

I downloaded a stock bell RUU. Went into adb and used
"fastboot update "filename""
I got an error saying there wasnt enough space.
EDIT: failed to load '0PJAIMG.zip': Not enough space
and when i try to sideload it it says the file can not be read.
Can someone just tell me what to do from the beginning, instead of telling me to look myself. Looking myself has only gotten me more lost and confused.
I need step by step instructions with links and files.
Please.
I just want my phone to be the way i bought it, No root, no bootloader changes, no twrp, just stuck everything.

MY phones current status.
Rooted, Bootloader Unlocked, Stock Recovery installed.
What do I do from there, where do I find the correct Bell RUU, how do I flash it, where does it go so it can be flashed.

I think I found the correct RUU for your firmware version. The problem is you will have to pay if you want it since the website isn't for free. Sorry that I wasn't able to find a cheaper source. (Link)
Edit: Forget what I said. I just saw that there is a TWRP backup in this thread. Using it should be much cheaper than the RUU.

Cannot flash

Hi,
I have a very urgent issue and I need your help.
I have a M9 which had Android Revolution 16. Wifi was not working, wrong MAC address (02:00:00...)
Well I tried to reflash it, and somewhere along the way I must have screwed something up.
I tried to flash Venom...error.
I tried stock RUU - 0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_L50_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_1.32.401.15_R1_Radio_01.01_U11440261_56.02.50306G_2_F_release_426891_signed
Also error - i belied the MID and CID are ok 0PJA10000 HTC__001
Phone is S-ON
Before that I followed a tutorial in which is was described to lock the bootloader.
Well, here it f. everything up.
Recovery is not working anymore and I cannot flash it recovery and RU_SECURITY_FAIL bootloader isn't bl_unlocke
I installed the unlock-code.bin, successfully
Still same issue.
Bootloader shows UNNOWN, Download mode shows still locked.
What can I do?

I have now TWRP, issue was because of the used fastboot soft.
Now to install a new rom...

I installed three different roms, wifi still fails to load.
I cannot install venom, Error status 7 (it fails at busybox)
Do you think I can resolve the wifi issue if I go S-OFF and flash the RUU in the first post?
Thank you.

The problem is the recovery. Incomplete/corrupt/rogue. Redownload and check its md5 + file size. Flash if it is correct.
If you have the same issue find another twrp.
S-off is probably the best investment you can make for your m9. It perplex's me why people only choose to root and then flash custom roms knowing it isn't the full access they are looking for.

Bricked my HTC 10, What to do next?

Hey everyone, so I am pretty sure I bricked my HTC10.
To Start off my specs are the HTC 10 Unlocked version
htc_pmewl
CID: BS_US001/BS_US002
MID: 2PS650000
OS: 1.80.617.1
OpenDSP: 18.2.8996.00524_0321
(orignially Stock ROM)
I was trying to reset everything to stock settings before I returned the phone (Unrooting, Locked Bootloader, Stock Recovery, etc) and everything was going fine until after I rewrote the S-OFF flag to S-ON (I'm pretty sure it happened there, maybe when I relocked the bootloader?). Now I don't have a ROM, the CID and MID's are missing on the fastboot (download-mode) page. The Bootloader is relocked, and I have a stock recovery.
I tried going here to get the RUU's and everything to fix what I had done. However the RUU.exe gives me a error 120 Low Battery when I run it (Even though I have a fully charged battery). I tried going to a different PC to run the RUU, but the RUU never runs past the initial install.
I also tried re-unlock the bootloader so I could reinstall TWRP and flash that way. Unlocking went fine, but when I try to flash the twrp img via fastboot I get an error (9 RU_SECURITY_FAIL recovery and bootloader isn't BL_UNLOCKED).
I'm really at my wits end here. I haven't actually done anything this stupid in all of my customizing my M8, S6, Razr or all my tablets so I honestly don't know what to do. If you guys could throw me a lifeline I'd be grateful.
Thanks

Have you tried doing a factory reset using the stock recovery?

See if you can get a system.img to flash manually. If you can get an OS boot you should be able to fix your device.

Using the adb shell command (recovery --wipe_data)? Yeah I've tried that, but I get a device not found error. adb isn't working right now, however I am still able to get fastboot commands, and the phone recognizing them at least. Otherwise, no I haven't what would I need to do?

@tw1tch175 is right. Try to find an untouched system image first and try to flash it in download mode.
Could you in addition tell a bit more about what you did to reset the device to stock instead of flashing a RUU in the first place prior to writing secureflag 3!? And further more what did you do prior to it, did you flash unsigned firmware, or one of the "no red text on boot" aboot provided here!?

Are you making sure you are in download mode for fastboot commands. Also double check your driver in the device manager.
Edit: woops re-read, and he meant use the UI in the factory recovery to reset

Sure. I originally ran the factory wipe/reset via the ROM (Which was the stock rom). Then after that I booted up into the download mode, tried relocking the bootloader with fastboot oem lock. I also flashed the stock recovery for my model. Once I saw that I had the stock recovery on, the bootloader was locked, and everything else, I tried to do a twrp restore and relock it, but it wasn't working so I said "Screw it" and rewrote the secureflag, rebooted and...yeah everything was gone.
The only thing I did before all of this was when I got the phone unlock the bootloader, SOFF, Custom Recovery, and sideload super SU for root. The only "unofficial" radios/firmware/etc I had was the Verizon Radio on my phone.
Other than that I kept it clean. I'm looking for an image now to try that.

Yes. I just figured that out while searching haha. I did go through and use the UI, but I had no luck. I am looking for an img like you said but I am not having luck so far. Is there one of the Stock guide on my original post?

Ok so for ALL HTC the only proper way to s-on is to use fastboot/download and for oem writesecureflag 3, you should NEVER EVER EVER us echo/dd /hexeditor to go s-on.
For 2016+ phones, you should use sunshine or another tool to go from unlock/relocked to lock, do NOT use anything not designed for the phone in question, or attempt to do it manually. I can only vouch for SunShine's capability to safely change the bootloader status, I can't vouch for any other method or tool. I know SunShine does it right.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/psa-htc-10-s-off-s-lock-unlock-t3371264 for my PSA on the subject.
If the phone won't flash with a proper RUU, well you need to find someone with a EMMC write tool to rewrite all your firmware, this is probably going to run $100-200.

I was trying to reset everything to stock settings before I returned the phone (Unrooting, Locked Bootloader, Stock Recovery, etc) and everything was going fine until after I rewrote the S-OFF flag to S-ON (I'm pretty sure it happened there, maybe when I relocked the bootloader?). Now I don't have a ROM, the CID and MID's are missing on the fastboot (download-mode) page. The Bootloader is relocked, and I have a stock recovery.
I tried going here to get the RUU's and everything to fix what I had done. However the RUU.exe gives me a error 120 Low Battery when I run it (Even though I have a fully charged battery). I tried going to a different PC to run the RUU, but the RUU never runs past the initial install.
I also tried re-unlock the bootloader so I could reinstall TWRP and flash that way. Unlocking went fine, but when I try to flash the twrp img via fastboot I get an error (9 RU_SECURITY_FAIL recovery and bootloader isn't BL_UNLOCKED).
I'm really at my wits end here. I haven't actually done anything this stupid in all of my customizing my M8, S6, Razr or all my tablets so I honestly don't know what to do. If you guys could throw me a lifeline I'd be grateful.
Thanks

Sure. I originally ran the factory wipe/reset via the ROM (Which was the stock rom). Then after that I booted up into the download mode, tried relocking the bootloader with fastboot oem lock. I also flashed the stock recovery for my model. Once I saw that I had the stock recovery on, the bootloader was locked, and everything else, I tried to do a twrp restore and relock it, but it wasn't working so I said "Screw it" and rewrote the secureflag, rebooted and...yeah everything was gone.
The only thing I did before all of this was when I got the phone unlock the bootloader, SOFF, Custom Recovery, and sideload super SU for root. The only "unofficial" radios/firmware/etc I had was the Verizon Radio on my phone.
Other than that I kept it clean. I'm looking for an image now to try that.

So as I thought. You indeed flashed - at least parts - of an unofficial firmware. Prior to relocking the bootloader with SunShine, as well as setting S-ON you should've taken care that ALL its stock. A simple factory reset in the ROM settings wasn't enough.
I'd guess that the wrong radio led to a problem when booting with stock recovery of your ROM, relocked bootloader and secureflag set to S-ON.
If I saw it correctly all RUUs for your device are *.exe files. Best would be to extract the ROM.zip from this exe, using 7zip, rename it to 2PS6IMG.zip, place it on an external SDCard (formatted extFAT or FAT32) and reboot to download mode, to give it a shot.
Hope this will help.
Edit: ... nvm... @jcase ninja'd me. Wanted to post the exact same link.

Ah gotcha. That makes sense. Wouldn't have been the only thing that slipped my mind. I lost access to my Steam authenticator too. I was able to get the zip from the exe file like you said, after I put that on an SD card and boot to download mode do I just fastboot flash zip?

If there's one thing I remember when using Sunshine to go S-OFF on two different HTC 10's it was that it mentioned something about going S-ON and how something wasn't guaranteed, I forget what exactly, but if I remember correctly I understood it as you shouldn't go back to S-ON because it wasn't guaranteed to work or something like that. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

That is in regards to wiping data, earlier versions of sunshien wiped data on all htc 10 going s-off, thats not the issue here. Issue here is he improperly set the phone lock/s-on. Gotta use sunshine to set it locked, and fastboot to set s-on.

Hey Everyone just wanted to give an update since yesterday evening.
Just wanted to give out some props to @5m4r7ph0n36uru . Following his advice of extracting the Rom.zip from RUU .exe I was able to run it in download mode and loaded up an OS on the phone. So Now I am unbricked! Yay. I had to find out how to do that using process monitor and everything, but it was a success. and I can breathe easy. Thankfully doing that was easier that doing the Database call handler stuff from today at work XD
Thankfully my lesson is learned and I'll flash correctly to full stock next time. Thank you all for your help in the matter.

Hello,
Just to inform that if I try to run RUU.exe from PC when the phone is in bootloader menu, I get battery low error. However, if I "boot to download mode" in the bootloader menu, I can run the RUU.exe from the computer without any error.
