eMMc-boot

p.s.
if my qustion is irrelevent and someone can tell me what RUU I should download it will be :good: also

Since you can go to hboot, that is good enough to check your CID.
Be in fastboot mode and type this :
fastboot getvar cid
Example here, mine is HTC__044
Code:
C:\Users\ckpv5-A\Desktop\fastboot>fastboot getvar cid
cid: HTC__044
finished. total time: 0.001s
C:\Users\ckpv5-A\Desktop\fastboot>

Please Help to get CID of my HTC Panache Phone

Hello ckpv5,
I have the same problem (My HTC Panache stuck on HTC Logo. When I Press
On + Volume Down, I go to HBoot). Please describe more what I should do?
I connect my HTC Panache (while it is on HBoot) to USB port of my computer,
but from Windows 7 Command Prompt I cannot go to (fastboot) directory. Why?
Do I need to install any software on my computer to do that?
Please help to get CID of my phone.
Thanks.

You are on wrong forum man, this is for One V.
Anyway.. why do you need to know your HTC Panache CID ? There are only two of them either Videotron or Mobilicity. Which is yours ?
Have you try the Factory Reset ? When you are on HBOOT, you should see FACTORY RESET menu I guess.
If you want to check your CID, firstly you must have the HTC USB driver installed on your PC and also fastboot files on your PC too. Without these two items, you can't do the fastboot getvar cid

Thanks ckpv5 for your respond.
My phone is HTC Panache from Mobilicity which I think is the same as MyTouch 4G of Videotron.
Its model under battery is written: PD15100.
Factory Reset does not do any action (phone hangs at the same menu and cannot do anything after that).
I need CID to make a Gold Card and install new stock android on my phone
by using MicroSD. I have tried different Stock android versions
of Panache & MyTouch 4G , but I always get wrong CID message.
I believe that I have installed HTS USB drivers (included in HTC Sync sowftware) for my HTC.
Where can I get the fastboot files for HTC to install it on Windows?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Attached is the fastboot.zip
Extract it to C:/
Connect your device in fastboot mode
When you go to HBOOT
Press power once, you will be in fastboot
The open a command prompt
cd\
cd fastboot
fastboot getvar cid
or
fastboot oem readcid
Other than this I can't help more as I don't have that device and also this is in a wrong forum

I think it worked ckpv5. I got the following:

The other command (fastboot oem readcid) did not work:

Is < DAVE_001> my CID?
Is it what I need to make a GooldCard?
I also run another command (may not be related at all):

Thank you.

Ya... DAVE_001 is your CID. If you ever need to run a RUU to revert your device to stock, you need RUU_Glacier_Gingerbread_S_DAVE_CA_2.09.1800.1_Radi o_12.55.60.25_26.09.04.26_M
And that is not the CID for making a GoldCard. You use a Goldcard tool to have the CID that will look something like this

As this is not related to One V, anything further you need to know, send me PM.

[Q] Need RUU help to restore back to Stock

Before I start, , I want to say that I have read other similar posts and not found an answer to my query.
First, I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful stuff you guys do on these forums. I have used your expertise for many previous issues that I have had in the past. I cherish my Androids a lot more now thanks to you guys.Now, onto the problem that I am currently having. I will try to make it short.
SHORT VERSION:
I need help to unroot the phone and I can't get the "correct" RUU to work.
LONG VERSION:
I rooted my phone and installed Android Revolution HD for ICS. After a while, I decided to upgrade to JB via CM10.
At first, the WiFi would start giving me problems, it would get stuck at "on and never going off" or "off and never turning on." So I remedied that by just restarting the One X which was fine. Then the screen started to act up. Whenever I restart my phone the screen would work just fine. I would put it down for a while, but whenever the screen goes off, it responds slower and slower until the display no longer turns on. However, the phone still works as if it was on via the touchscreen. I can still open apps, just as long as I can guess where to go.
This left me with two thoughts:
1.) The screen is not broken because on restarts, or before it blacks out completely, the screen is just fine. No dead pixels, no lines, no light bleeding to anything.
2.) The OS (I think) is not broken because it always responds to what I am doing.
Therefore I think there exists a problem between the hardware trying trying to communicate with the screen. So I want to return the phone back to the manufacturer.
I have looked on other forums and I am here to ask for help. I can't find a way to solve my problem.
When I try to unroot, I get stuck at the RUU portion. And I honestly think I am using the correct RUU. As you guys know, I need to put the phone back to its original everything to get a chance for the manufacturer to help me out.
So please! Help me with the unroot!
On a side note: the phone works perfect when it is charging AND with the screen on. Don't know why.
This is my phones info from the HBOOT screen:
HBOOT-0.94.0000
CPLD-None
MICROP-None
RADIO-1.1204.90.13
eMMC-bootmade: disabled
CPU-bootmode: disabled
HW Secure boot: enabled
MODEM PATH: OFF
Apr 11 2012, 02:27:11
CID: HTC___622
For those that are wondering, this is the RUU that I used.
Endeavor/RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_HK_1.26.708.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251215_signed.exe
Maybe that was the issue, I don't know. There are 4 HK (Hong Kong) RUUs if I'm not mistaken.
I look forward to your help and response!
Once again, thanks for all the helpful tips/tricks/flashes and roms.
Gratefully,
johnchiu

Oke are you familiar with the fastboot commands ?
Do these 2 commands with the phone in fastboot usb mode !
Fastboot getvar version-main
and
Fastboot oem readcid
To get the right info for the ruu you need !

Try this one:
http://htcruu.com/securekey.php?fil...Radio_2.1204.122.17_release_268338_signed.exe
Although, I thought the 2.17 was available, that one should install on your hboot.
You'll need to do:
fastboot oem lock
Then run the RUU as administrator (right click it).

So when I did the "fastboot oem lock" whenever I go back to the hboot, on top it says that my phone has been "***RELOCKED***"
I remember before I unlocked the phone it said ***LOCKED*** so if it now says ***RELOCKED*** and I want to ship it in for repairs...wouldn't that be a red flag that I tampered with the phone?
Also, I have SuperUser installed on the phone, how do I get rid of it? Because I think that looks awfully suspicious too haha.
I am downloading the RUU right now, hopefully it works, I will let you know how it goes. Thanks @BenPope

Your bootloader will always say that its been relocked after you unlocked it, can't do anything about that ! And the RUU will flash a stock rom, stock recovery and the stock boot.img back. So all traces of previous root is gone !

So what should I do to make my phone as close to it was first coming out of the box.
For example, I really want to get rid of SuperUser but I don't know how to.
How do I check if everything is stock? Etc.
Thanks again for your help!

Just run the ruu and everything is stock !!! Can't get closer to stock than that !
A ruu wipes the phone 100%

I tried it again...and it failed again. I don't know what to do.
Every RUU that I have tried to install so far all say:
ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
How is it possible that every version fails? Please help!

Hmm do the fastboot commands i posted in the beginning of the thread, the cid and main version commands ..... See whats comes out ?

Sorry forgot to post them. These are the latest ones.
C:\fastboot>fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 2.18.401.2

C:\fastboot>fastboot oem readcid

There is the bug ! You need at least a 2.17 based RUU ! But i dont where to find it at the moment

Are there no ways around it? I can't be the only person with this problem can I? I purchased this phone back in May 2012. So my phone was one of the original units sent out. Thanks for your rapid response and time.

Maybe there is one at the file factory but i dont have an account there

That's odd.
You have the European version-main and a Hong Kong CID.
You might want to look for a backup of a HK ROM to restore.

If you are rooted, than you have ,,super user" or "super su" app, enter app, and look around, you''ll find unroot (or something like that) press button, and i think that that's it, for bootloader you must use fastboot, tupe command i think that tha command is fastboot oem relock.
Also you can find nandroid backup for your cid.
Forgot, on what android version are you ? 4.1.1 or 4.2.2 ?
If you are on 4.1.1 use method with ruu.
And last i think you can't but someone else will tell you, in fastboot tupe fastboot getvar all, copy everything except imei and serial number, so someone can tell you what ruu can you use.
Hope i helped.

He doesn't need to unroot the custom rom because he can't update with that anyway. And root is no issue to update at all.
And dont relock !!! You can't restore a nand with a relocked bootloader

I'm sorry but that's all I need to do to get software updates for my phone??? Sorry.I'm.still a noob in this

You have to download android sdk bundle (google) and go the platform tools folder, open a command prompt in that folder. Hold shift and click the right mouse button and select : open command window here. Then put the phone in the bootloader and press fastboot once. You see if all is correct in red text : fastboot usb.
Then enter the command in the command window on the pc and tell us what comes out

Can not fix Splash screen, System Formatted- ERROR 140/Main Version Older

Hello. Can ANYONE please please help?
I started Rooting process- total Newbie but undergoing a BAPTISM OF FIRE!!
UNLOCKed BL, CWM 5.0.2.8. Then, with no back-up made- System Format!
I have been trying to restore my soft-bricked (stuck on Splash screen), but I have hit an issue. I can not find a 100% match for an RUU. Phone will not accept RUU.exe NOR any ROM.zip
I tried custom ROMS from here via SD card initially
Then, I've tried to flash (Bootloader RELOCKED, CWM installed) via:
RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989_signed.exe
99.9% ROM match- it is 401.3, (I recorded mine in written notes as 401.2); BUT 0% radio match- I have 7.57.39.10.
My ROM 2.13.401.2/ my software- 2.26.401.3/ my radio: 7.57.39.10M- a combo of RUU 2.13's ROM & RUU 2.26's software & radio (OTA updated at some point perhaps?)
It looked as though it would work, BUT, I got:
HTC Android ROM Update Utility 1.0.3.2011
ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again
As software is 2.26.401.3 I tried: RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe.
0% ROM match but 100% match of software id & 100% radio match
With this:
1) Tried to flash exe direct. Got: "ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR".
2) Retried to flash RUU after ripping recovery.img from ROM.zip & placed in folder with the adb files. Got: Same result.
3) I tried microSD card flash with ROM.zip, (BL UNlocked) taken from RUU_Marvel_S_2.26........route. Got "Error: Main Version is older!"
Tried PG76IMG from [ROM][HTC][WILDFIRE S A510e][EUROPE][2.3.5][PG76IMG.ZIP] To Flash From Hboot, "Installation aborted; bad!"- multiple downloads, multiple tries- file is 152 MB & I keep getting 148 MB (151,553KB).
I also tried to flash PG76IMG_Marvel_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2_Radio_47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.39.03M_release_225747_signed.zip from shipped-roms
[100% ROM match & 0% radio] via SD card.
Got it wrong!! At least all it did was wipe CWM & did not full-brick! So now my Recovery was back to default: Android system recovery <3e> but I could un-unlock/ re-lock BL & put CWM back, no probs.
So I read multiple threads/ sites over the past week on both "Error 140" & "Main version is older", & can not find an answer. They are mostly either other-Model related or unresolved amongst other things.
,
I decided to quit while I'm ahead [just Slash screen with UN/RE lockable BL & able to CWM] & post this in hope of knowledgeable assistance. Surely, this IS self-fixable? What am I doing/ not doing?
My options, as far as I can tell, from shipped-roms.com are:
RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989_signed.exe OR.......
Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989_signed_ROM.zip
Both are 99.9% ROM match- they are 401.3, I recorded mine as 401.2; BUT 0% radio match- I have 7.57.39.10.
Can not see it being RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe?
Q; (1) Why RUU/ROM.zips are not flashing/ which & version to use??
Q: (2) Do I need to downgrade something? If so what & how?
Q. (3) Any thoughts, anyone anything?

I was looking for an exact RUU.exe for my ROM: 2.13.401.2 NOT .3 as offered by shipped-roms & others.
After trawling Google I found this: tsar3000.com/Joomla. Clicked downloads tab along the top, chose HTC & scanned down the list. I picked #42 (HTC WildeFire S A510E / A510c / MetroPCS - Marvel / C Stock Roms)
Looking down it I found RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2_Radio_47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.39.03M: an EXACT RUU.exe match for my ROM.
<clicked RUU link> took me to a file share website: fileom.com.
Created account, & after verifying by clicking link & email, downloaded RUU.
Then:
1) RELOCKED BootLoader- cmd prompt & typed: fastboot oem lock
The tried a straight RUU.exe flash. This returned the ERROR 140: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR etc.
2)Started RUU; went NO FURTHER.
Clicked START on PC. Searched for %temp% folder. Found the two created when RUU is run.
To do this- call up the temp folder. Kill the RUU. Restart the RUU.
Keep doing this and you begin to notice 2 folders will appear when RUU is started & disappear when RUU is stopped.
Checked both to find a .zip called "ROM.zip".
Took it to a new folder so it did not interfere with anything. Unzipped it.
Copied 3 of the revealed files to the \Android folder (my folder containing my ROOTing files- adb/ BootLoader unlock file from HTC/ etc.)
The 3 are recovery.img, boot.img & system.img
Then:
RE-UnLocked BootLoader- opened cmd prompt & typed cd \Android; as my HTCdev Unlock file was still in \Android
Then typed fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin.
Agreed the pop-up on the handset. It booted itself to the Splash screen. I disconnected USB & pulled/ replaced battery.
Booted into HBOOT>Fastboot & connected USB
I proceeded to flash the 3 .img files by typing in cmd prompt:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Just for good measure I relocked the BootLoader, as I knew it would restart the phone in Normal boot without me having to interfear with the handset.
I typed: fastboot oem lock in cmd prompt
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT????
Phone reboots
Black screen with double arrows in circle, stays for 30 secs, then...
White htc screen as before EXCEPT THIS TIME I got "quietly brilliant" written underneath & do-di-do-do-do-do jingle.
Phone paused on "quietly brilliant" screen for one-and-a-half minutes......then......the standard phone set-up screens & ON!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Handset is working, has all the apps etc as before. The only change is the "about phone" section of settings. It is a bit more basic with the info it yeilds, as software is older than what I had.
I suppose this will change as OTA updates come in. I can live with that for now!!
PHONE IS RESTORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2)Started RUU; went NO FURTHER.
Clicked START on PC. Searched for %temp% folder. Found the two created when RUU is run.
To do this- call up the temp folder. Kill the RUU. Restart the RUU.
Keep doing this and you begin to notice 2 folders will appear when RUU is started & disappear when RUU is stopped.
Checked both to find a .zip called "ROM.zip".
Took it to a new folder so it did not interfere with anything. Unzipped it.
Copied 3 of the revealed files to the \Android folder (my folder containing my ROOTing files- adb/ BootLoader unlock file from HTC/ etc.)
The 3 are recovery.img, boot.img & system.img
Then:
RE-UnLocked BootLoader- opened cmd prompt & typed cd \Android; as my HTCdev Unlock file was still in \Android
Then typed fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin.
Agreed the pop-up on the handset. It booted itself to the Splash screen. I disconnected USB & pulled/ replaced battery.
Booted into HBOOT>Fastboot & connected USB
I proceeded to flash the 3 .img files by typing in cmd prompt:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Just for good measure I relocked the BootLoader, as I knew it would restart the phone in Normal boot without me having to interfear with the handset.
I typed: fastboot oem lock in cmd prompt
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT????
Phone reboots
Black screen with double arrows in circle, stays for 30 secs, then...
White htc screen as before EXCEPT THIS TIME I got "quietly brilliant" written underneath & do-di-do-do-do-do jingle.
Phone paused on "quietly brilliant" screen for one-and-a-half minutes......then......the standard phone set-up screens & ON!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Handset is working, has all the apps etc as before. The only change is the "about phone" section of settings. It is a bit more basic with the info it yeilds, as software is older than what I had.
I suppose this will change as OTA updates come in. I can live with that for now!!
PHONE IS RESTORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU!
Yes, so am I. Just really really pleased that I could fix this & not have to rely on professional repair. Also, I am learning SO MUCH about software repair & rooting in the process that it's brillant!
Just waiting for the O.T.A. Updates to come through. I have already had 1 that has upgraded my software from 401.2 to .3. I do a "Check for Update" every 20 minutes or so,
Once this is done, I can reinstall CWM (as I have read that CWM can affect the installation of O.T.A.U.s ). Once I am back to, say 2.26.401.3 software, I will re-install CWM, do A BACK-UP (Hahaha!) & proceed to install SU app./ Custom ROM etc.
Thanks.

can you send me the file ruu......? please

Stuck on bootloader.

Hi !
I have a problem with my HTC DHD device. I unlocked it and rooted it a long time ago, using goldcard, installed Rom Manager, flashed the recovery, install CM...and all of a sudden, my phone shutted down, and couldn't stop rebooting, got the green HTC logo, and he reboot.
I had this problem a few month ago, i tried several things, that put my phone back in S-ON.
I actually got this :
Code:
c:\Fastboot>fastboot getvar all
INFOversion: 0.5
INFOversion-bootloader: 0.85.0024
INFOversion-baseband: 26.09.04.11_M2

INFObuild-mode: SHIP
INFOboot-mode: FASTBOOT
INFOcommitno-bootloader: a3d4fa0f
INFOhbootpreupdate: 11
INFOgencheckpt: 0
INFOregion-id: 0
all: Done!
finished. total time: 0.008s
I can't access to recovery, and i can't boot on anything else than the HBOOT or FASTBOOT mode.
I tried to unlock from htc dev, but it says that i need to upgrade my HBOOT before using htcdev tool.
As i was back in S-ON mode, i tried severals RUU Roms.
As the getvar all says i'm actually running 2.50.405.2, so i tried to install a clean RUU using
RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.50.405.2_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_199042_signed
( Got a french HTC DESIRE HD )
I'd like to flash a new recovery to make everything ok again. But i'm stuck, there is no ruu working, and i can't unlock bootloader, nor reinstall a recovery
everytime i try to flash something into any directory, i got this signature failed error.
Code:
c:\Fastboot>fastboot flash /sdcard PD98IMG.zip
sending '/sdcard' (261908 KB)... OKAY [ 43.281s]
writing '/sdcard'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 76.264s
Can someone help me ?

I might be wrong but I think you might need another ruu and a new goldcard

I tried different RUU versions, all above the actual one or at least the same version.
The thing is that i can't actually put it back on its original configuration. CID is normal though, i can't find the original recovery, i'd like to flash it, i think it's the only thing that remains modified on the phone.

I had the exact same problem as you have when i bought the phone. AAHK was working back then and even with aahk the phone could not be fixed and the with the help of the devs on irc chat i managed to fix it
They told me that my phone was previously rooted and s-off but a strange RUU was flashed so they told me to flash cwm through fasboot and flash a custom rom.
Wich i did and it worked.
P.S. you might wanna try another sd card, this one might be fried ( faulty mem blocks)

Thanks for your answer, your previous problem exactly matches with mine. I'll try what you've said, the thing is that i'm actually not rooted, and S-ON, i can't use htcdev/unlockbootloader, because de version of my bootloader is too old ( i haven't used the phone for a while ) -
In fact :
- To solve my problem, like u said i have to flash CWM and a custom rom
- To flash a recovery, i need to unlock bootloader
- To unlock bootloader, i need to upgrade my bootloader
- To flash a ruu and upgrade my bootloader i need to have an original recovery
- Got a recovery problem i need another one, so let's flash CWM ( repeat everything )

1) conect phone to pc, run instalation ruu
2) during instalation process find in win/temp folder file named rom.zip
3) copy this file into folder with adb and fastboot files
4) cancel instalation
5) in phone run bootloader than fastboot
6) run command prompt in folder with adb, fastboot and rom files, than type "fastboot oem rebootRUU"
7) wait a few minute until phone goes in ruu install mode
8) than from command prompt type "fastboot flash zip room.zip", if you get error repeat once again without exiting ruu install mode (some times is needed to do it twice)
9) when install finish type "fastboot reboot" and now phone should be repaired
You can do factory reset before and after.
