n
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.009s]
finished. total time: 0.010s
The RUU on the website is older than the one I have .. So, I didn't update.

I've in my possession a VW Droid incredible 2. Beautiful phone, not mine, doesn't boot.
The boot sticks at the HTC screen. The version I assume is either 2.3.3 or 2.3.4.
I figured the best thing to do would be to flash the latest RUU which I tried. The problem is when I flash it will update the TP (1) the bootloader(3) and then do recovery (2) and stick on recovery with out an update progress bar on the tip right corner.
The phone is not S-OFF, it is not rooted, the bootloader is locked. And it is not mine. It being belongs to my friends Sylvia who hasn't touched it in months. She also doesn't mind losing Verizon ties because she will have it unlocked anyway
I'm sorry I posted but I've done ask the research I could and I've gotten nothing out of it. I'm not an incredible 2 owner my weapon of choice is an HTC Amaze.
Thanks for the help

Try a factory data reset from the bootloader then try booting
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
What exactly is suppose to happen when I use factory reset. I try it and the bootloader freezes. I tried it and then tried booting. Still hangs on HTC.
I read there are some ICS RUUs.

Are you HTCDev unlocked?
No, phones a virgin. Locked bootloader, S-ON. I tried unlocking the bootloader HTC dev style but when it comes time to pull the code from the phone and send it to HTC for them to email me a token I get an error in my terminal.

try to s off. you can look around for the latest ota pg32img and flesh that in the boot loader
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
I've tried PG32IMG.zip for 2.3.4 and the update sticks.
Hadn't your device gotten an RUU with ICS yet.
Also don't I need to be able to boot it up in order to use rEVOlution tool. Thanks a lot guys

If you want to s-off, you will want to flash the 2.3.3 ruu. I would try flashing 2.3.3 again, just make sure you check md5. Here is a link to signed RUU's
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18873-ruu-htc-incredible-2-signed-ruus-pg32imgzip/
Just make sure its renamed to just PG32IMG.zip and place it on sdcard. If they don't want to s-off you can flash 2.3.4 too.
It won't flash any RUU s unless. Is there a way to modify an RUU not to flash the recovery...

Open the zip and remove the recovery.img? I wouldn't know, just guessing

What ruu are you flashing? From what it appears it is not official and not properly signed.

Oh and you can't flash the 2.3 ruu if your phone is already in 2.4 and is factory s on locked, you can't flash an ruu older than what you currently have not an older hboot you need the latest ota signed one try it and it will work...
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
I know. I think I have 2.3 but when I flash a 2.3 ruu. The error I get is "main version is older" and that is a 2.3.4 RUU I got from the rootz wiki a page back. I'll look fora different RUU source later on.

This must be the millionth thread about failing in unlocking the Wildfire S, but I'm really stock at this point, therefor I need your help :angel:
I have seen a lot of tutorials about how-to
But they all start with, go to www.htcdev.com, so I did.
I tried to install the HTC EUR RUU, but it failed
[Not supported rom]
So, I tried it with the PG76IMG package, but it said
[Main version is older]
And when I try to get the id token from fastboot it says:
[FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))
finished. total time: 0.003s]
So, now I'm kinda stuck, how can I unlock this **..
My phone spec:
Android 2.3.5 (GSM)
Software: 2.26.161.1
Marvel PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 1.09.0099
If your hboot says locked at the top skip the ruu part pal.

1.09.0099 is unlockable, no need to flash ruu. You only have to flash ruu if you have an old unlockable bootloader.
Check the fastboot command carefully, is it identification or identifier you need to type.

It ain't an error the important thing that it showed relocked
I was using CM10 for my One X, tried to return to stock, then realised that i had the wrong ruu, therefore i am stuck in fastboot with no rom.
if someone can tell me what ruu i need / other methods of fixing this i would be grateful.
You can use the right ruu, look after your Cid and go for the right one in the specific thread.
You can also unlock your bootloader (nice all in one tool is in the Android development t
Forum) and flash recovery, than the Rom. Don't worry, you cannot brick your phone without s-off. Just read some FAQs and you'll recover your phone

Super, you can flash custom jb sense Roms and update your hboot right away. Go to the automatic jb update thread in development forum and complete all the steps. Or use European wwe ruu

You can not get s-off through the official HTC unlocked bootloader. Skip all of this and go to the xda wiki, follow instructions on how to downgrade and root there

Yup, but why on htcdev.com we can... ? It's official trick to get off security...
Well it isn't, all it does is allow minimal security flags to be removed, enough to open up a few fastboot commands. It can allow you to flash a custom ROM but it will not give you s-off and it will give more headaches then anything else
