[Q] TAMPERED, RELOCKED, Security Warning, NO Recovery works but stock ROM works!

[SOLVED]
As you can see in the title I have a lot going on.
I followed the correct steps to unlock the bootloader and it was successful as at one point I saw:
***TAMPERED***
***UNLOCKED***
Right off the bat I don't understand the reason for the "tampered" flag, but moving on...
For the record here is the other info below exactly as I see it:
EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.09.0000
RADIO-0.16a.32.09.06
OpenDSP-v25.1.0.32.0405
eMMC-boot
Apr 2 2012,21:08:24
After trying to flash different version of CWM Recovery with NO luck, I was stuck in a bootloop. Rebooted to FASTBOOT, erased cache, stock ROM loaded right away. At this point, every time I tried to flash ANY recovery (stock or CWM), I'd get the following message:
"This build is for developement purposes only Do not distribute outisde of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may result in legal action."
And then it would proceed to a bootloop. I can't even use "FACTORY RESET" or get to the stock recovery, haven't been able to since the beginning.
At this point I thought to try "fastboot oem lock" and try again. That's precisely when I started to get this at the top of HBOOT:
***TAMPERED***
***RELOCKED***
***Securty Warning***
(Security Warning seems to come and go as it pleases at different times when accessing HBOOT, very awkward)
The interesting thing is, through all of this (as long as the phone allowed me to or as long as I erased cache through fastboot), the stock ROM (Rogers in Canada) actually works perfectly fine. I can boot into it no problem. But now I'm stuck with this odd issue inside of HBOOT and I don't know what to do to make it work. I found a bit of info suggesting that I could have a developer version of the phone if I'm getting that message following a recovery install. Keep in mind though this wasn't shipped to me, I got it from a retail store. Very odd.
Any insight regarding this would be greatly appreciated. I'm not bricked at the moment so that's nice, but I definitely would like to figure this out.
Thank you!

Can I ask you where did you get this phone from ?

I have gotten these messages alot when i had bricked my phone a while ago ...
Security warning always occured in HBoot when my battery was below 30%
Legal notice showed up when i tried booting custom Rom with a stock Recovery.
As long as it is relocked, try using a matching RUU. Make sure Battery is charged as much as possible. Also see Thread "Disaster Recovery" here in the forums

Evita is the code name for HTC One XL.

Really eh? I got it from Best Buy Mobile but it's a Rogers device. Advertised as the One X but yeah on GSM Arena it actually is the One XL. I'm guessing it's more or less exactly the same as the One X...for custom ROMs and what not...hopefully. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!
In any case, I'm going to try to flash a shipped RUU (if I can download it from filefactory, error messages so far) then try to flashboot CWM again and see how that goes.

Thank you. Sorry mods please move this when possible.
I did make sure to download the correct EVITA ROM, it's flashing as we speak.
EDIT:
I should have tried the CWM version in that thread before flashing stock ROM. Oh well, better to start from a clean state anyhow.

DONE guys thank you very much for the info. Installed the correct version of CWM, rebooted, back to HBOOT, done. TAMPERED is there but as outlined in the thread that's normal. Now, on to flashing!

can u send me the rom

I've switched kernels multiple times and flashed a custom ROM on my One X but my HBOOT has never shown a "tampered" flag. Does anyone know why that is?

Because your device is an Htc One X not an Htc One XL. Only One XL will show tampered flag.

i have the same error

I too have the same problem with my HTC One X from Rogers (or I thought it was HTC One X, from what I read here it could be an XL!).
Would you please step through the process you used to get CWM installed. I have TWRP presently installed.

htc one x iscompletely messed up. Please Help!!!

Hello i have the tc one x and i have alot of problems. when i first bought the phone i rooted it and i was happy. i downloaded root apps and i was set. then i wanted to start flashing roms. so i downloaded a custom rom on my computer, followed all the instructions carefully and it did not work. i had installed clockworkmod and the whole 9 yards.When i would try to boot into recovery mode i would get a security warning and i was not allowed to. i tried many tutorials to install it on to my phone using my computer and command prompt and things like that but that did not work. So i came to the conclusion that i did not unlock my bootloader. so i went through the whole process on htcdev.com and my key was invalid. i had gotten the error 160 and mid not allowed. now i wanted to completely restore and unroot so i deleted superuser and the su files and did the whole thing with fastboot files and command prompt using a video to help me through it. When i was done my phone still said tampred on the bootloader and i got the same security warning error when i tried to restore the phone. so i cannot restore my phone to stock. now my phone cannot recieve att updates and when i try to manually update it is says htcdm has stopped and then after the button does nothing. and many apps stop unexspectedly and i am very upset about this. i have tried unrooting and unlocking bootloader at least 10 times now and nothing works!! PLEASE HELP!!! i really dont want do have to sell my phone and save up for a new one. thank you.

Yup.

First, your not clear with what you actually did.
IS your Phone the AT&T version? If YES, then this is the wrong forum.
Also all you need to do to get a custom ROM running is this.. (in the respective order ) -
1- Unlock using HTC. Your error is probably because you did not clearly read on how to copy the UID part. even one extra character here or there can generate an invalid key.
Follow the instructions to the letter.
2- Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery using fastboot.
3- Before flashing the ROM, from CWM, make a backup of the stock ROM, by going to Backup and Restore - Backup.
4- Wipe Date/Factory reset option in the recovery. Then Goto Mounts section and format /system.
5- Now flash your ROM from the sdcard.
6- PROFIT?
If you are not confident enough to follow each and every instruction to the letter, then flashing custom ROM's is not for you.
From your post i can clearly see that you find the whole process a little too cumbersome. I can be wrong. But please at least be clear what you exactly did. Which ROM did you try to flash? And how did you go back to stock? Which RUU did you use? Was it the correct one?

If your HBOOT says ***LOCKED*** or ***RELOCKED*** then run an RUU and it will remove all warnings, and put your phone back to it's factory state.

how do you run an ruu

how do you run an ruu?

Boot into bootloader then go into fastboot and run the ruu that's all but sure thing before doing this u have to flash the stock recovery and kernel and lock bootloader
Y U WANNA KNOW FROM WHERE SENT??

Just download one and run it, dead easy.

But he has to return the recovery and kernel and lock bootloader first
Y U WANNA KNOW FROM WHERE SENT??

His post is so disjointed it's impossible to figure out the state of his bootloader (hence mentioning it), but you don't need to replace kernel and recovery, that's the point of the RUU.

OK that means you're good to go with the RUU if you want to return to stock and have everything working again.

Dude becareful if its saying security warning then your battery is very low,becareful because if the phone drains completely while using ruu the phone would get hard bricked also u can't select ruu you just have to go into fastboot
Y U WANNA KNOW FROM WHERE SENT??

Ok. Stop.
Where did you get your phone? Is it quad or dual core? What is the model number written on the case?
Before you do more damage, let's figure out what device you have, which forum you need to ask questions in, and what procedures you need to follow.

Right, well, I'm not sure what you've done to it, but this is the wrong sub forum.
If it is an AT&T phone, htcdev won't work.
Best bet is to visit the ONE XL forum. And post what you problems you have, and then what you tried to do before arriving where you are now.
Word of advice, your first post in this thread was awful. It's too long, too confusing and unreadable. Try to cut out as much as you can. I don't care how many yards, that you got instructions from a video, and that the video was hosted on YouTube. Just list what you did to the phone. Use spaces (including vertical spaces), punctuation and bullet points to good effect. End of the day, you want as wide an audience as possible.
Good luck.

[PLEASE HELP] no my apps, market, cant install apps etc

hello
just got HTC wildfire today, and it is firmware 2.1-update1 baseband 13.51 kernel 2.6.29 buildnumber 1.06.xx softwarenumber 1.06.xx and browser version webkit 3.1
my problem is i think its not really a htc normal firmware rather a dev firmware (i think) because there is a icon called devtools. apart from that it doesnt have market, my apps,scenes in personalize option crashes if i click them, no weather etc widgets, no file browser, cant install any apps which are transfered from PC, if i download from web browser of htc it doesnt reconigizes the package...
in simple words cant do any thing more than the pre installed apps which are also not all..
please tell me whats the issue.. im a first time HTC user.. loved iphone wayyy better atleast it wasnt that complicated..
please tell me how to get all apps back and fix crashes
i tried software update option but it was stuck on checking for 30 mins... tried many times.. no luck
so also need to know any other alternative method
and what version can this phone can support latest that doesnt lag and is also good...
PLEASE help me guys
Thanks

just to add... my phone itself it fine.. i mean wifi, calls, sms, bluetooth camera etc everything is working.. i dont see any hardware issue.. all i see is software issue, so please tell me the solution..
also i saw HTC wildfire some saying its HTC BUZZ and some saying its desire mini.. what is it actually? i simply have HTC WILDFIRE

If you flash the ruu for your phone you should be sorted.
You can find a list of RUU's, instructions and troubleshooting info here:

Woh!!! Hold on there,let's not jump into an ruu straight away !!! We need more info..... can we get bootloader info for starters ? Power phone off then hold volume button down and then still holding vol down press power button.......inform us what you see on the next screen. At first impressions I would suggest first trying a gapps flash,but let's wait.

His rom is booting per op so I would assume he can get into bootloader. It is the first day he has the phone. He hasnt asked about rooting so why not flash an ruu? Seems like the simplest solution to me unless he wants to root.

Ok,I know he didn't mention anything about rooting but do you know of any stock Rom that has devtools app !! No nor do I ,so I'm guessing he is on cm7. Also now with more info we can see that he has a strange bootloader,I've not seen before either.
So which ruu are you going to recommend with his hboot ?

this really sucks...
tell me did i get a faulty OS?

Can you tell me what the front of your phone looks like? Under your screen you should have a set of soft buttons which are, home key,menu,back button and then a magnifying search icon button ? Under them you should have a round trackball button yes ?

Like this.....

Mfg is an abbreviation for manufacturers warranty. Its probably expired by now though if the phone is secondhand.

Good point I don't know about that strange hboot. If he is s-on (which is unclear strangely) and locked to a particular carrier he will need an ruu with a cid that matches his phone. I would personally go with a froyo WWE Rom and see if he gets a cid error and if so try to find out the cid of the phone which I think you can do via fastboot.
It might be cm7 if the phone is second hand.
OP - from your bootloader screen, choose recovery (vol buttons for up and down, power to select) and tell us what it looks like. Also do you have an app called superuser in your app drawer?

What are you talking about? an ruu is much safer than rooting and flashing custom roms. The ruu program carries out a lot of checks before flashing. It won't flash if the device id or cid don't match and it also checks the HTC signature before flashing. It is HTC's own software.
So is flashing an RUU not going to help? If not what do you think will help? The phone is not rooted, he cannot access recovery, I don't think he cares about root access so why risk it. He just wants to get his phone working.
Look back at the earlier posts if you want to see his hboot. It says buzz. And as said before if it is not a buzz, a buzz ruu will return a device id error.

That error pic isnt really an error but more a warning to say don't go any further, if you press vol up+power on that screen it should take you to the stock recovery i think. Not much to do in there though as its noobproofed........
Is it a desire a, i seem to remember some people from south america i think having problems getting root a long time ago on what was believed to be a wildfire but wasn't.
Check under the battery to see if it says desire a, I'll see if i can find a link to the topic if it is.
Edit: forget the desire a part i just found the topic and the hboot info is different to yours so i don't think its that. And hans is correct about ruu if it isn't a buzz or it needs a certain ruu it will give an error and stop the flash.

this hasn't been absolutely clear as he reported having dev tools showing up which is not part of the stock HTC ROM IIRC - BTW you mentioned yourself that it's unclear if he's s-on or s-off

Anyway - and again: no worries - what I just wanted to say is: let's find out more about hard- and software and the problem before suggesting the stuff that is usually known as a last attempt. This is an Android forum - I personally don't want to see something like in all those Windows noob forums where the no.1 suggestion for all problems is: "format your drive and reinstall"...

[Q][HELP][EMERGENCY] HTC One V Bricked REALLY NEED HELP PLEASE!

Hello guys,
I'm not gonna keep it short, because this is really important.
I recently bought my HTC One V and rooted it today. After a lot of trying, I flashed Clockworkmod on it.
After doing this, I tried to flash a custom ROM on it, so I wiped all system data, etc.
This went wrong, because I did something wrong that did not allow me to flash custom ROMs.
So here's my problem: I'm stuck! I cannot boot my phone, I get the HTC logo with some text like this:
"This version is distributed for developer purposes only...", etc.
So, I don't have any OS installed on my phone, I can only access my fastboot menu, CWM and stuff like that.
I tried installing other ROMs but it just does not work. This proves I screwed it up.
Then, after 2 hours of intensive Googling, I found this thing called RUU recoveries. I tried to find it for my HTC One V. Then, after another 30 minutes of Googling, I found it, downloaded it (took me another hour or so with the stupid server), opened it but got the error that I got the wrong version of the RUU Update Utility.
I cannot find the right one, I think it doesn't exist, because I live in the Netherlands and my carrier is Vodafone.
PLEASE HELP ME. How can I do a factory reset with the stock firmware? Please I really need help because I just bought this phone and I'm just a teenager so I can't afford another one.
ALSO PLEASE RESPOND ONLY IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

Hello guys,
I'm not gonna keep it short, because this is really important.
I recently bought my HTC One V and rooted it today. After a lot of trying, I flashed Clockworkmod on it.
After doing this, I tried to flash a custom ROM on it, so I wiped all system data, etc.
This went wrong, because I did something wrong that did not allow me to flash custom ROMs.
So here's my problem: I'm stuck! I cannot boot my phone, I get the HTC logo with some text like this:
"This version is distributed for developer purposes only...", etc.
So, I don't have any OS installed on my phone, I can only access my fastboot menu, CWM and stuff like that.

Hello ofadlaoui,
I might be able to help if you can give me some information from your fastboot menu. Copy all of the text. It should look something like:
Code:
*** UNLOCKED ***
PRIMOU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT- 1.blah blah blah
RADIO- 1.blah blah blah
eMMC- boot
Some date in 2012, some time
Also as a second thought, did you flash the proper kernel/any kernel at all? That might be the problem that you're facing. Or the proper ROM... anyways, shoot me back a reply and I'll see if I can't find that goshdarn RUU for you.
Cheers, worldindo1.
Some personal notes: The CID for Vodafone NL is VODAPE17. Region code is x.xx.161.xx (Vodafone UK, which I found strange since Vodafone Switzerland-Germany is closer). Just need the hboot & radio versions you have and I can see if I might be able to get you a proper RUU.

Hey man,
First of all, thanks for replying. To be honest, I have no idea what you are talking about, as I am an Android amateur. I only used the Update Utility of HTC to try and flash the RUU but it didn't work. Anyway, I booted my device in HBOOT and this is what it says:
Code:
*** UNLOCKED ***
PRIMOU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000
RADIO-3831.21.00.19_M
eMMC-boot

Patiently waiting for your answer, thanks a lot!

Don't worry... I hope u haven't flashed kernel.. first flash kernel then ur ROM...follow the steps correctly from given link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996665
Hit thanks if I helped u...

Your device isn't bricked because it boots.. Just download the right kernel and the right rom and flash it according to the guides that can be found on this forum

Chill out man, yours is not bricked.
If you're using HOV CDMA, search custom rom in CDMA/PrimoC section.
But if you're using HOV GSM, then search in GSM/PrimoU section here or here.
Make sure if you choose Sense-based rom (MySense, MIUI, etc), pick the latest Titanium-Kiss kernel by Maxwen.
And if you choose CM10 based rom (PA, CM10, EverVolv, etc), pick the latest HellBoy by Maxwen, or SuperSick kernel by Simonsimons34.
Then after that, just copy the custom rom to your sd card, flash it to your phone.
Choose the right kernel & flash it too.
Voila! Your phone is ready to kick some asses.

Hope it turned out ok. Let us know how it goes. the advice others have given should get you back up and running.

You are on GSM so go pick out from those "here" or "here". If this doesn't work, do not despair as I will try to find the RUU for you. Hopefully it was just an improper ROM or kernel. If one of those ROMs/kernels works get back to me and I'll drop the search but from this point I will be scouring the stinkiest, smelliest, grungiest corners of the internet.

Hello, I'm completely new and completely stuck.
I decided yesterday to root my phone and try and install slim bean following these instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092572
It all seemed to install properly and I thought it was all a piece of cake. However, much like the original poster my phone is now stuck on the HTC logo screen.
I have tried restoring my nandroid backup (if that's the right name/term) but it doesn't help. I have tried all-sorts of other things but none seem to work. So I assumed I must have to use a RUU. I tried to find one that is compatible but I get an error which says the model is incorrect or wrong, or whatever when I use it.
I have pretty much exactly the same fastboot details as the original chap, except for the date is different.
I cannot find an RUU with the same radio numbers (I don't know if that is important), the current one I'm using is the Europe one from here...
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/9187896-post22.html
The H3G UK ones are no longer available. I've also looked on androidfiles RUU page but they seem to have none for HTC One.
I am at a complete loss as to what I can do. You guys seems to have a wealth of knowledge and so I am hoping you'll be able to sort me out, if you can I thank you in advance!
:crying:

As it said in the OP on the Slim Bean ROM topic, you have to use a CM10 compatible kernel, such as maxwen's kernel. You can find this on One V Original Android Development.

Cm20? Cool!

Hmmm, I guess I must have downloaded the wrong kernel - I thought I was using the right one. Anyway, it's working now, just to need to get some service signal then I'll be done, I hope.
Thanks!

[Q] Can't Update passed 4.0.4

Okay, so I have a One X, International with quad-core. CID is HTC__001.
I've had a few problems over the passed year with the phone and I had to send it into HTC twice, and on the second occasion, they replaced everything except the plastic frame.
Ever since I've received the phone back it has had 4.0.4, and I haven't been able to update. I manually search for updates but it says it's up to date.
Not exactly sure where to go from here, I've been hesitant to do anything about it because last time I updated to 4.0.4, which is when I had the problem, HTC had to replace the phone.
Anything will be appreciated. Not the most tech savy when it comes to this kind of stuff
Thanks
Johnny

Look for the 3.14.401.31 ruu and run it. It will flash the phone (if successful) to stock jellybean and wipes the phone. So back up stuff you need. Better to be safe than sorry.

Hey sorry, but just want to clarify, how exactly do I go about doing this, do I just plug in my phone and run the .exe. Also do I need to be rooted?
Thanks

Your bootloaded should be locked or relocked and you just start .exe file. You don't have to be rooted.
Since you got phone from HTC, bootloader is locked so you can start .exe file right now.

Hey, so I tried to run the ruu. I went through the process and got a "signature error 132" on the Update Utility. So after some research apparently the ruu that I downloaded was the wrong one, which was "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed"
In the attached image it has all the information.
From what I understand, something about 2.17.1900.1 is important, but I have no further knowledge and I'd love to hear what you guys think.
Thanks a lot,
Johnny

When you start bootloader are you S-ON or you are S-OFF. And are you Endeavoru XE or PVT

I sssumed because of the cid he was on 401 but has a variant the 1900......not sure that the 401 works indeed

Okay, so after looking around I couldn't find anything with 1900. Would anyone be able to redirect me?
And to answer Thant's question, I am S-ON and Endeavoru PVT.
From what I understand, you need to be rooted to become S-OFF, but this will allow you to run any ruu as it is no longer dependent on the "1900." Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'd love to hear the best course of action from you guys.
Thanks

Well i would check with your provider/HTC ! I assume your bootloader is still locked atm, keep it that way and return with the statement that you can't update it while the update should be there. And if there is no available update then they should give a reason why it's not available !
If they can't help you at all you can try to unlock the bootloader and flash the 3.14.401 firmware to upgrade the hboot. Don't know if it works but might be worth a try

Hey, just ran the 2.17.401.2 ruu and it worked! I'm going to run the 3.14.401 ruu soon, I'll report back with the results.
Thanks a bunch guys
EDIT: Hey so I tried to run the 3.14.401.31 and it didn't work, another signature error. So what I did was scanned for software update and I found an update for ICS, so I updated 4.0.4 further, restarted the device, scanned again for software and there it was 3.14.401.27, downloading as we speak
Thanks guys for the help

Awesome ! And thanks @Thant for this nice find :thumbup:
Don't forget to make a nandroid backup of the stock rom when you decide to install a new custom rom !
CASE CLOSED !
