Stock recovery fault after RUU upgrade

Hi,
I am new to this forum, so to me it is not allowed to reply to this thread:
[TUT] How to upgrade HOX with a RUU(hboot.img, etc..) after installed a custom rom
I flashed boot.img, and recovery.img from the extracted rom.zip of the newest RUU (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe) in order to get back to stock. -> wifi fault
After flashing i erease cache and relocked the oem.
I tried to test everything, before getting the device back to the seller.
And now here is the problem.
I'm not able to get into recovery from bootloader (because this is what the repair service is doing first). The recovery tool starts with a mobile sign and a green circle and turns to a mobile sign with a red exclamation mark and then the device reboots to system.
I tried to run RUU a second time and i tried to re-unlock the bootloader and flash the boot.img and recovery.img a second time. I left the bootloader unlocked, but the fault is the same. I even tried to extract the recovery.img from rom.zip and flash again. Nothing works.
Anyone with the same problem? Anyone with an solution? (searched the forum, but does'nt find a situable thread)

Sorry for pushing...
I've found another thread with the same problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621124&highlight=cant+boot+recovery
Meanwhile i flashed a costum recovery. This works. I made a fullwipe and flash everything again and install the RUU again.
Same Problem.
I tried to downgrade the recovery to 1.29; .1.28; 1.26. But every stock recovery wont boot.
Still no idea?

Try applying the same version RUU before you unlocked. If you can get that working, then you can upgrade to the latest.

I actually used the latest RUU.
With RUU 2.17 cames hboot 1.12. Because of S-On I can't downgrade using a older RUU, as long downgrading hboot is not possible.
I think it is a problem of the hboot version, like it is checking wether the device is unlocked or a costum rom was flashed (so it is easy for the repair service to say there is no warranty).
Ironically a costum recovery works. and also its possible to flash costum roms.

Flash recovery from here..maybe the ruu download was corrupted..

Just lock the bootloader, connect to the PC in fastboot mode and run the 2.17.401.2 RUU - job done

OK. I downloaded the RUU 2.17 from another source. MD5 is the same. extracted the recovery.img and flash again. didn't work.
Installed the RUU again. nothing.
I tried a lot of recovery.img including this one from your link. I don't know why the stock recovery tools wont work.
Every costum recovery will work. but why?
I started testing to flashboot boot every recovery.img. now here is some interesting:
fastboot boot recovery_signed_1.28.img
creating boot image...
creating boot image - 5933056 bytes
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.793s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: reproduce boot image with on-flash ramdisk error)

Using costum recovery no problem. Using stock recovery will cause this error.
The partition should be OK, because the costum recovery works.

You don't do Fastboot boot recovery.IMG to put stock recovery back on.
You do Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

yes i know...
i said i tried to fastboot boot other recovery to test where the issue is. and those which are booting with fastboot boot, are also flashable and working.

I don't know whats the issue.
Thanks for the help.
I will send the device to repair center with a costum recovery. let's see what happens.
Or I'll just solder it.

[Q] Hboot , No Recovery

Hey ,
I have a HTC desire ( Bravo PVT1 Ship S-OFF, HBoot 6.93.1002 , Revolutionary)) and it wont run recovery.
Reflashing Recovery.img works with fastboot, but still wont run recovery , it hangs on the HTC screen.
What started the problems : First i rooted the phone and installed a ROM with clockworkrecovery , and it was working well, But I wanted to expand the memory , so i followed these instructions to install 4EXT recovery:
Like posted above, never use minitool, it creates bad partitions. If ur s-off then flash 4ext recovery via fastboot commands or use the 4ext recovery PB99IMG in my sig, instructions r there. Once 4ext recovery is installed on ur phone u need to boot recovery, select it in the bootloader menu (if phone off, volume down + power then select recovery) once in recovery, goto tools, partition sdcard, remove all partitions and start from scratch then choose
1024
Skip
Skip
Then choose ext4
Once thats done, goto main menu then wipe/format and format all partitions except sdcard, after that wipe dalvik. Connect ur phone (usb) and select toggle usb in menu, send the rom to ur sdcard (from computer) then install from sdcard then reboot.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Everything worked except for sending the rom to the SDcard, it gave me USB Brick error and it asked me to fix it, I accepted and it rebooted automatically, and since then it wont go into recovery anymore.
What have i tried to do to fix it :
• Erase recovery and re-flashed a new recovery with fastboot (both 4EXT recovery and clockwork recovery ), Still hangs on HTC screen when selecting Recovery
• Put PB99IMG.zip on SDCard , it says that no image or wrong image.
I've searched and tried it all , except for installing stock RUU , but ive read thats a last resort . So before trying that I thought I ask the people that helped me so much already.
Greets

Does ur phone boot up? If so download the 4ext recovery updater apk in my sig and try flashing recovery using the app. Thats what u should of done in the first place. PB99IMG is kinda last option
Sent from my HTC Desire

No, it doesnt have a Rom , that's because I erased everything , like the text above says . I got stuck when I wanted to send the Rom to the SDcard .
But now I got really stuck .
It won't load any PB99IMG , that means I won't be able to go back to the original RUU ... I can use fastboot. Is there a way to flash it through fastboot ?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

I'm no expert, but did flash 4ext recovery from fastboot the other day... So Yes, that's possible
(edit: guess I misread your q. Dunno about flashing RUU through fastboot)

Ok... I am completely stuck...
I cant load any PB99IMG
What might be the reason that it wont recognize my PB99IMG?
Is there any way to flash things back to stock without using PB99IMG?
or Flash Hboot ?
Please anyone ...

ok... I want to go back to original RUU so i downloaded the PB99IMG_downgrade , but i cant downgrade it through PB99IMG.zip since it wont load...
Is flashing the Hboot.img inside of the PB99IMG_downgrade.zip through fastboot an option?( fastboot flash hboot c:\hboot.img )
or will I brick it even further?

Go to bootloader and:

Now reboot to recovery, it must work or you have wrong recovery img

I did exactly what you've said, but still no luck... HTC white screen ...
Should I try to flash the Hboot image , so I can run orginal RUU , and then root it again ?

Yes you can do that, flash downgrader.img ( http://alpharev.nl/bravo_downgrade.img ) and run RUU.
You're stock hboot right?

My Hboot was HBoot 6.93.1002 , Revolutionary
and after the downgrader turned into alpharev 6.93.9999
Should I be able to run the RUU update now?
And do I have to be in bootloader while I execute the RUU, since thats my only option ?

Yes you should be able, and yes from bootloader.

Maybe u coulda tried another recovery.img first, like CWM, just to be sure.
Sent from my HTC Desire

Ive tried CWM and 4ext recovery both , downloaded it again , just to be sure it isnt corrupted, but still get the same issue.
Now I am going to try to install RUU , after the battery is charged over 50%
Thank you guys , for replying and helping me . I Hope that after the RUU install , I can go back to do the fun stuff again !

New problem....
I Tried to install the RUU
Everything looked fine , until it gave me bootloader version error ,its flashed everything except for the ROM.
and it booted in Hboot , and it showed :
Bravo UNKNOWN SHIP S-ON
HBOOT- 0.75.0000
MICROP 031D
TOUCH PANEL - SYNT0101
RADIO 4.05.00.11
MAR 5 2010 21.12.15
I didnt have a clue what to do next, so i tried to run the newest RUU but gave me the same error (bootloader version is higher) untill I came across a topic on a other forum with someone with the same problem
later he said:
EVERYTHING SOLVED: I used a downgrade utility to restore the (broken) BootLoader and it also installed the stock HTC ROM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But the downgrade utility wont detect my device (is my USB DEBUGGING disabled? )
Can anyone help me , I REALLY dont know what to do!

I am in a loop of problems
I cant run RUU because my ROM image is 3.14.something , so I cant install an older version..
I cant flash Misc because of my S-ON status
I cant enter recovery...
So my questions are :
Is there a way to flash MISC to an older one so I can run RUU?
Is there a way to root it, without entering a ROM ( I know there is alpharev ISO , but it wont recognize my Desire...)
HELP?

[Q] Desire HD stuck at boot screen after installing any custom ROM

Hi, for some reason, my device won't boot after flashing some custom ROM.
I've tried these 3 ROMs:

What am I doing wrong?

Then you need to flash the boot.img in fastboot everytime you flash a rom. Otherwise your device won't boot. To find out how to do that, use the guide in my signature...:good:

Appreciate your help, but that didn't do the trick. I downloaded the att-ace-30-isboot.zip, extracted boot.img and flashed it "fastboot flash boot x:\boot.img". The Desire HD still does not boot.
Also, for my Wildfire S (also S-ON) I can install any ROM I like, and the device boots fine. No need to reflash some boot.img
Any more thoughts?

I don't get it. Why on earth are you flashing that boot.img?? You need to flash the rom you are trying to flash boot.img.....That image is just for the Inspire 4G and has nothing to do with any of the roms you flashed.
S-ON and Unlock bootloader are two different things. S-OFF does not require to have an unlocked bootloader....Being S-ON is fine if you unlock the bootloader.

HAHA, I had a feeling I did not understand what boot.img you were talking about.
So I further investigated the zips that a custom ROM provides, and I notice the boot.img in the root of each ZIP. So I flashed that... guess what... it works quite simple
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello
I need help. Please
I recently brought a friend's phone (Desire HD) to flash custom ROM on. I flashed boot.img via fastboot but when I select recovery, A white screen with HTC shows and after a few seconds, black screen occurs. I know screen is on however. I dont know what to do. The bootloader says unlocked but it says
S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0029
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot
The steps that I did was.
1. I unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev. It gave me error so I updated via RUU manually through fastboot.
2. After that, I was able to unlock the bootloader via HTCDev.
3. I followed this (http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/04/...android-422-jellytime-jelly-bean-rom-guide/2/) to flash method to Jelly-time on DHD. But when I flashed boot.img via fastboot cmd, it does not go to Recovery, it only shows phone with exclamation mark. If I reboot the phone, it shows white HTC screen and then black black screen. Please help me what to do. After unlocking via HTCDev, I didn't intall CWM, I though flashing boot.img is actually installing CWN :'|
Thanks a LOT in advance

That is the issue, that you didn't flash the rom. You need a custom recovery to flash the rom first and then the boot.img. You just flash a boot.img file from a different rom without flashing the rom itself.
Boot into fastboot usb and then flash recovery. You can use the guide or the tools in my signature to do that or just flash it manually. Then, flash the rom in recovery and just then fastboot flash the boot.img.

I did use your guides to work it up. I flashed recovery via fastboot and flashed the ROM (along with gapps). It is working. However, I fastboot flashed boot.img of the same ROM BEFORE flashing recovery and hence before flash ROM. However it is working so all good

DHD Wont Boot after Custom ROM
HI,
OK...
I have an S-ON DHD with unlocked bootloader and decided to upgrade the android version.
Decided I'd start with 5.1.1 (cm-12.1-20150509-UNOFFICIAL-ace).
I have TWRP (openrecovery-TWRP-ace-2.8.1.2-unofficial) installed as recovery manager.
So installed the ROM but phone would not boot - stayed on HTC screen.
Looking for the cause I find that I need to flash flash boot.img of the ROM I want to use as it is S-ON.
BUT - to do so I need to use fastboot and at this stage I can only get into recovery and fastboot devices shows no devices hence I can't issue :
fastboot flash boot my.img​
I think I should have kept a recovery of the original ROM but .... what could possibly go wrong ....
So bottom line I have a phone that won't boot but can get into recovery.
Any and all suggestions gratefully accepted
Cheers,
Paul

Ok - thanks 4 your help everyone ....
Ok the issue related to the fact that the laptop(s) I were using both (Win10) somehow got stuffed up by the HTC Diagnostic drivers which caused one of the laptops to blue screen (Driver Power State Failure error) on a restart and the other to hang.
Once I restarted successfully the adb and fastboot devices re-appeared and I simply flash booted the boot.img from my android 5 rom and all now good

Is this a HTC One X or a HTC Desire?
Regardless which device is it, you need a unlocked bootloader to flash the recovery.
I recommend that you charge your phone till 100%
Than head over to htcdev.com and follow the instructions on unlocking the bootloader
Than flash the recovery image in fastboot using: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (or just drag the specific recovery into cmd)
Than transfer the rom that you want to use and flash it after doing a full wipe
Head back into bootloader and flash the boot.img (kernel) with; fastboot flash boot boot.img
Than reboot and voila!

It's a hox....you see the endevouru in the bootloader screen !
Use a ruu to go back to a working phone. Easy because you have an S-OFF device !

1.Downloaded the latest stable build of cyanogenmod
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=endeavoru&type=snapshot
I used the latest one M8.
2.Downloaded the GAPPS from here
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
I downloaded the CM11 file,the fist file that is in the list.

4.Put the downloaded cyanogenmod and GAPPS in a folder named Cyanogen in my storage
5. Installed the custom recovery of the clockwerk recovery
6. Wipe factory data/devlik cache
7. Installed the cyanogenmod zip and the gapps zip
8. Reboot,and not let the phone enter the cyanogenmod screen,pressed the volume down and power button to take it to fastboot

first boot.img then flash in recovery
so step 9 should happen before step 5

Ooow,ok,i undestand,i flash the boot,after that the cwmrecovery and after that i do all the cyanogenmod stuff. One more question if it's not to much. If i do all of this stuff and still don't have a luck with cyanogenmod..or i just get tired of it, i had made a backup for the stock rom. If i use the cyanogenmod for a while and i want the Stock Rom back,can i just revert to the backup i made in clockwork mod earlier?

in fastboot flash boot.img then go into recovery and flash rom
you already flashed recovery.img and you already flashed boot.img and gapps and did a full wipe so no need to do that again
yes but you need to downgrade your recovery to cwm 5.X

Once i was sure that nothing is there in the phone that is imp. And has not been backed up , i coppied the android 4.4.4 rom and gapps to my phone
I had hasoon 2000s toolkit for one x .
So i first used vol down button + power button to enter into fastboot mode and connected it to pc so that it says fastboot usb .
Then from there i think i didnt flash boot.img (and probabily thats the root caise of the problems im having .
Then i wiped my dalvic cache..partition cache and wipe data/factory reset
After that i clicked on install from zip and installed the cm11 endevouru xxxx xxx.zip file . Once it was complete i rebooted my phone to bootloader . Then again to recovery and then back to install zip . Now i installed gapps .
Once done i rebooted my phone . And now in the phone the cyanogenmod logo appears with an arrow going round and round encircling that logo.. and arrow sometimes stops for some moment but nothing happens .. the phone doesnot boot ahead .. wat to do im helpless sir please help me.. im in big trouble. Thank you.

did you flash boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I've quickly gone through this thread and am missing 1 important piece of info :
What is your hboot number and on what rom/software number were you before all this ?
If you hboot is lower than 1.3x than you can't install this rom at all.
And there is no need to reboot the bootloader between flashing the rom.zip and the GAPPS.zip. do these 2 straight after one another inside the recovery.

help me please

here are the files again run my adb and fastboot then connect phone and open cmd...
