Hi fellow members
I've been running revolution hd 9 mod for a long time now, and today i went back to stock rom and then upgraded to 4.1 JB cause i've heard all these good things about it. When i upgraded i was like, screw it i'm gonna root this phone and get some cyanogenmod. The problem is now after i rooted it it was stuck on boot screen. Been trying to get it back to stock, but i can't. I get this error 150 wrong bootloader version. I think it's because i'm on 1.39 hboot. and i've tried every ruu, like 5-6 and alot of recovery.img. But nothing works.
Can someone help me ?

Hey everyone,
Lately i've been trying to get to stock rom , which seems to be impossible since my phone wont recognize PC10IMG.zip , in Hboot , and my camera gives purple/green colors, i've been trying for a while to unroot my phone but i really think it isn't recoverable anymore , once i accidently putted G2 stock rom on my Desire z because i was following the wrong tutorial it seemed.. but my phone normally runs htc sense , so i rerooted it to get permission to recover my old roms back , but from of that moment i only got trouble , my phone only recovers my MIUI rom and not my 1.34 stock sense roms which i backed-up and which worked previously and not anymore , they just freeze and splash htc boot screen.
So i guess i got no other choice then send it back to HTC? and let them fix it? , i'd probably have to pay 100,- or 200,- since i got illegal rom on it.
What would you guys do in this **** situation lol :/?

Do you have ClockworkMod recovery installed?
ofc lol
Hi Guys, I posted this in Android Software and Hacking General, but I didn't get a reply. Probably the wrong section!
my HTC Desire GSM is stuck in Fastboot and won't boot into the ROM. The background to this issue is that I installed S-Off and then ClockworkMod and flashed Cyogenmod 7 to see if it would fix a reboot issue on the phone. The damn thing just reboots itself when the CPU is used heavily...
Anywho, after realising that Cyogen wouldn't resolve the issue I flashed the standard Virgin UK rom back over it and upgraded to 2.22.351.2 via the system update feature. The problem was that ClockwordMod was still installed and I had to get rid of it to sent the phone off for repair to Virgin!
So I did further research and found that I could flash HBoot via the AlphaRev.nl downgrader tool. I downloaded it and popped it into the root of my SD card and it flashed the bootloader back to Hboot 0.80.0000. That should have been it, but all of the sudden the phone no longer boots into the Rom. All it does is to power on and then go into Fastboot. That's it! When I try putting the standard Virgin Rom back onto the SD it tries to load it and then says "Main Version is older!" "Update Fail!".
How do I get around this now? The phone doesn't boot, so I can't re-flash S-Off and start again, not am I able to run the stock Virgin Rom within Windows because it complains about the versions.
Is there any ways around this situation? I just want to get the phone back to stock so I can send it to Virgin and get it repaired.
P.S. I *have* used the search function and spent the last 4 hours testing various things but I'm now stuck.
Cheers Guys!

Well you obviously fckd up with the Downgrader, you should have run it first BEFORE RUU. Also did you flashed Stock Hboot prior to Downgrader? (if you used CM7 earlier)
I never played around with the hboot downgrading etc. so i wont be able to help you but im sure there is some workaround...
as your returning your phone anyway why don't you try the official HTC gingerbread update from the HTC developer site (sorry I don't have a link). It should return your phone to stock and when you get it back you need to use revolutionary to get s-off back. Also, there is a sticky from user bortac which has loads of help and trouble shooting advice.

Any advice that uses the 2.3.3 RUU to fix something is plain bad advice - it can just make your problem a LOT worse.
@OP Go onto my guide, look at RUU problems for help
What you need to do:
-Make a goldcard (there is a tutorial there)
-Flash the WWE RUU
Guys, upgrading to Gingerbread has actually brought the phone back from the dead! =) And I can now return it to Virgin to get it repaired properly. The symptoms are that while the phone is plugged in and charging, and I'm doing stuff (taxing the CPU), the phone will eventually simply rebooting itself. Just *BANG*! And it's gone. And once it starts it's a bit of a run-away thing and just keeps on doing it until you leave the phone alone for a bit. Virgin had a look at it and simply re-flashed it, thinking that they could away with that. Typical, overworked, non-creative call centre workers..... I'm well pissed off with them!
Gonna send it back next week and force them to swap the motherboard or something, cause this is a serious fault with the phone.
Hello!
I flashed my Toshiba Folio a year ago using a guide from this forum and it worked brilliantly, and because my HTC Desire Z was getting slower by the minute, I decided I wanted a custom ROM on my DZ.
I used the HTC Dev Unlock to get root, that went all perfectly.
After that, I installed Clockwork Recovery Mod and tried to flash 2 different Custom Roms (Android Revolution HD™ 7.0.0) and CyanogenMod-7.
What I didn't realize was that I needed S-off to flash a custom Rom, and now I only get a white HTC screen at startup.
It is still possible to get in Hboot/fastboot and into the Clockwork recovery mod, but I can't find a solution to what to do now. ADB isn't working in hboot/fastboot and the ways to get S-off are with ADB. Can I get my DZ back into original state safely, or is there another way to get S-off?
Thank you all in advance!
Ps: I also tried flashing a lower (1.34) ROM or a Stock Rom, but they don't work

Hello!
I own a HTC oneX since 2 months and i decided to flash a JB rom, the ARHD 15 one. But i wonder if i have to update my Hboot. My current Hboot is 1.12 and its not rooted yet, also not a unlocked boot loader.
If i flash 1.33, because my cid is E11.. can i downgrade if needed or isnt that needed in the future when i want to have the official HTC Jellybean rom?
and from which point am i losing my date which is on the phone? ofcourse when flashing a new rom, but also when i use a custom kernel?
Thanks in advance!
It'll wipe the phone when you unlock.
You do need the updated hboot.
You cannot downgrade it, but that's not necessary to install the OTA.
unlocked boot loader and it lost its data.. still need to know what to do with hboot. and when i lose data again!
Search the forum mate, there are very good guides to do everything you are after
From personal experience I would use my phone a bit longer before messing with it. My first one didn't workout of the box and my second one was fine.... For 7 months then suddenly died, completely... No charge, no turn on, stuck in apx mode.... Was working when I left to take my dogs for a walk but when I got home (had left phone at home) it was dead
Is in for repair now but waiting to see how I go warranty wise
ah okej.. thing is , i really need the extended battery life that comes with jellybean and a custom kernel cause its annoying.. even with 3 hours screen on time.
You won't get much better than 3 hours screen time

Correct me if I'm wrong, but only SENSE JB roms require updated hboot. (can flash AOSP JB roms on lower hboot)
Once you update your hboot, you can't go back. From what I understand, the main issue with that is that you can't flash AOSP roms on a JB hboot without using a special boot.img and even with that GPS may not work. Other than that, you can flash ICS rom while on a higher (JB) hboot.
FWIW, I wish I did not have an updated hboot (1.23).

I have always used Viper ROM and I upgraded to 2.01 once it came it. Fooshily, I did not upgrade the firmware (noob, not a newb) because I couldn't figure it out. I finally got it downgraded to stock, then did the OTA to upgrade the firmware. The phone started flawlessly until I flashed Viper 2.01. I (luckily) backed it up before this time and tried flashing Android Revolution. I still had long boot times. I understand most of this stuff, but I always seem to run into problems. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Tampered
Unlocked
S-ON (couldn't get this)
AT&T
Early model, possibly release
I'm at work now but I could post more info later. Thank you, everyone.
Also, I would prefer to use Viper, if that matters.
