Hey guys,
I'm a long time lurker and have searched everywhere for a solution. You're my only hope now.
Long story short this is a borrowed phone. I've been trying to Root --> CWM --> flash this phone for about a week with no luck.
It's an S710D on ICS.
I've been able to unlock the bootloader with HTC Dev, and i've flashed and fastbooted into 4ext. Once i flashed AOKP Build 6 in recovery the phone would not boot into the OS. It just hangs on the white HTC start screen. I can however boot into bootloader and recovery.
I've tried various PG32IMG's, fastbooting into recovery, various wipes, CWM and 4ext, i've even found an RUU.exe but it didn't work.
The phone is S-ON. Phone is not recognized via ADB but is recognized via Fastboot command line.
this is the display when in Bootloader:

i'm hoping one of you knows how to make this phone boot, or possibly have an RUU for an S710D on ICS?
Thanks in advance.
Dude, this is not the forum for that phone, I hope you didn't flash anything from the inc 2 forums here as you may have bricked it. Especially the radios. You have the Chinese variant I believe, maybe the inc s, not sure...

There is an RUU for the s710d, look in the development forum, I believe it was posted by Relay.

Awesome. Thanks for the help! Turns out i really did need an S710D based rom. I've been trying to flash an Incredible2 rom and it just wouldn't boot. I managed to track down a tweaked Relay rom for the S710D on a chinese forum and was able to flash it through recovery. I also needed to extract the Boot.img from the rom and flash that through fastboot. Once that was done it booted up good as new!

Help, I think I messed up my phone (HTC Desire Z). I tried 2 root my phone. But after I s-off my phone I tried to reboot it and... It woudn't work :c. Can anyone help me? I searched for it but I Didn't find anything what can bring my phone back up. Please Help me someone.
well after the downgrade process you would be @ froyo, I'm sure a diffrent os then you were using, this would have changed you radio/spl and rom at the same time so there would be a functional os. after obtaining s-off and a eng hboot then you in a sence wiped your phone of an os, therefore it will not boot.
one of the things in the guide you followed (assuming you followed a proper guide and did things correctly) was to install a custom recovery. boot into recovery and flash rom of choice... now your phone works

Thank you so mush for your replay. But I don't know what you really mean. I did follow a guide @the unlocker. And I did every step correctly. But can you maybe give me a guide what I need to do? I'm just a android noob :c. What to I need 2 do exactly?
not sure what the unlockr uses for root, if you don't have an eng hboot then you may not have fastboot access. just boot into bootloader and check
first some lines should say either eng soff or ship soff, if it is ship soff I suggest following a different guide to root as you will have many headaches without an engienering spl
also the search function works quite well in both xda and google, just look for terms like adb for dummies, or fastboot commands. if you are having issues just report back with your findings

Thank you for you replay. It says soff. But the problem is that I can't use my phone anymore with adb. And I can't get in to my phone anymore. I stuck @the HTC startscreen and it woudn't continue .c My phone is bricked but I cant recover it anymore :c
why can't you use adb or fastboot? did you try? and does it say eng soff or ship soff on your bootloader screen?

If I Try to use ABD It say's Device is offline. Or Cant connect 2 device. Ant It says 'ENG S-OFF' and when I try to Recovery there happends nothing, There is just that a triangle with a. ;C i'm so desperate.
then your rooting method did not get you a custom recovery, you will be best of going to irc freenode #g2root, here you will get real time help. being you have an eng spl there is a good chance things can be fixed. just make sure you jump the gun and try to flash a pc10img.zip from hboot, if you flash the wrong one you will be stuck for good, so be double careful how you proceed from here
just google search irc freenode, and sign into #g2root and create a temp name, if no one is there to help right away just stick around a bit and I'm sure some one will show... be patient

okay heres the deal my phone has been acting up alot... and the other day i swapped batteries and at that my phone refused to do anything past the htc splash screen, ive even ran every ruu file that i could find and to no avail so i am now having to send the phone in for repair, Problem is i have the s-off bootloader from revolutionary and i cant load into the rom to change my mainver and downgrade so
My Question is "is there anything i can do using fastboot commands to either downgrade the bootloader or make the phone a complete brick so that i can get the warranty repair done?"
You can do an OEM boot loader re-lock.
Android, the open source do whatever you want OS.

Well, bricking it would be easy, flash a radio and pull the cord in the middle of it, or just smash it . Check out the return to s-on guide, that might work for you.

Hello, I was using CM10 for JB, because I didn't manage to update my hboot.
But now I've decided to get back to stock ota, the problem is I failed to install the RUU.
I didn't know how and what version of RUU to install. then I've found that my RUU seems to be
Code:
"getvar version-main
version-main: 1.26.401.2"
so I've downloaded RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.26.401.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251208_signed.exe.
Then i've locked my phone, and did
Code:
"fastboot oem rebootRUU"
then I tried to install the RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.26.401.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251208_signed.exe. and it worked.
And everything seemed to be OK.
but then I watched this video <youtube>/watch?v=SZuAjz4PIjU, and realized I didn't put the stock recovery.
And I did,
Code:
fastboot flash recover recovery.img
Reboot, and almost happy, but now when the phone reboots, it doesn't save any changes, It has found an update of 29mb but it won't apply, it looks like its installing and seems like everything works, but it doesn't .
I have no idea what to do next. I'll try in the mean time to install the RUU again.
Update:
I tried to install the same RUU, no luck, it just throwed an error. And the issue is the same, settings are not stored on reboot
Do you have a branded one x ? What's your CID ?
cidnum: HTC__102.
If you by "branded" you mean, orange, at & t and stuff then no. It was not locked to any of the service providers.
And what comes up with
Fastboot getvar version-main ?
Have you tried using a newer RUU? Anything that has x.xx.401.xx will work. Try the 2.17 RUU.

Edit : just make sure the phone's bootloader is locked , then put it in fastboot USB mode. Start the RUU from pc with admin rights !

Well that seemed to fix it.
I installed a new RUU (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe).
Locked the phone, got in fastboot and installed the new RUU and all the errors seem to be lost.
The settings are being kept and the best part is that HBOOT has updated from 0.43 to 1.12.0000, which is awesome.
Thank you guys!

No, it ain't working. May be I am not able to follow the correct procedure but I am sure that the radio versions doesn't match . So, I've very little hope with that RUU. May be you could try another ROM. There are some ROMs that are very much similar with the stock one. I am using one of its kind and it's working fine. Very much similar to the stock ROM.

hello,
First of all I want to mention I am throughly confused because there are tons of threads out here.
I have a H3G Uk DHD and unlocked the boot loader.
I have been trying to follow this gude in vain.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500
I am stuck at step 7 where it says Go to recovery advanced options and reboot recovery... I cant understand what it means.
So i figured it was to do something with htc fast boot. got the fast boot files and try to do a fastbook flash boot boot.img
But it just sits there saying waiting for device though it is connected.
I even tried putting pd98img.zip in the memory card and rebooting in recovery but it says cant find or wrong image.
Can someone please help? i am so tired of this
What do you mean step 7?
This one? "Reboot into bootloader again and plug the phone to the PC."
If so, try universal adb driver if you are in fastboot mode and your phone isn't recognized.
How to get into the fastboot menu is not your problem right? If it is, then switch off the phone,
hold vol down and press and hold power, release power and you should see the bootloader in hboot, where you can choose the fastboot mode.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for the reply. There is a pdf guide in that thread.
When I reboot, all I see is HBOOT, RECOVERY, FACTORY RESET AND SIMLOCK I think. If
I cant seem to find fastboot mode.
Are there other ways to install pd98img? Whats this gold card thing? I created a gold card and placed pd98img.zip in the root of the card. It still wont install. Any pointers?

Haha! I actually did some research for a week and officially found the word from developers that 0027 has a bootloader that cannot be unlocked. One has to upgrade it to 0029.i exactly did that and it worked! I'm on CM11 now.
I just thought that maybe you know some other alternative solution that i might not be aware of at the moment.
Um..mine was 0027 and it worked just fine
