Been trying for 8 hours now non-stop to try get root access.
I tried revolutionary.io but the website is doing a bad gateway for me so I can't get the beta key at all, I managed to get the zip from google cache but the script for beta keys is failing me.
bravo pvt4 s-on
hboot 1.02.0001 radio 5.17.05.23
I tried Alpha revision? It said something about not detecting or being too new...
Tried unrevoked 3, but said firmware too new.
Tried htcdev.com, and none of the hboots work at all for me that I tried. The fastboot oem get_identifier_token
gives the error
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.008s]
finished. total time: 0.010s
Software number 3.14.405.1
Build 3.14.405.1 CL96875 release keys
Android 2.33, kernel version 2.6.35.10
The htcdev tool basically tells me to wait for them to get a new hboot, and I can't even get access to the token to get the magic key to unlock this thing. My i5500 was extremely easy to get root on compared to this, it's like this phone is too far updated and none of the many ways to root it seem to work. Any help would be appreciated!!
Finally got revolutionary.io to work. Was able to get 4ext recovery on and installed Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip that I found on google to work. Using Carbon Rom now Can't believe the one tool I needed wasn't available and I wasted 8 hours on other stuff!

Hy guys
I have an HTC T mobile G2 and a few days back it started to froze when i used certain aplications. I had to remove the battery and it all came back to normal till one time when it got stuck on the HTC logo and wont go any further then that. I have tried to run PC10IMG from Hboot on it but its says that Main Version Is older! I have also tried to delete the hboot.n00 file from PC10IMG boot and reziped it but it didnt worked. I have tried to go into recovery and did a full date wipe on it but with no result. In other words I have tried all the options to recover it using my sd card and it didnt work.
I have Vision PVT S-ON
HBOOT-0.82.008
MICROP-0425

I have also tried to use android sdk to downgrade but no mather what I do I cant get the androidsdk to find my phone. I installed the drivers using HTC sync and PDAnet and all other methods I could find online but with no luck. I ve also used vista and windows 7 but since there no way i can access and enable usb debugging thats not an option for me.
Please if you have any ideas on how to get it to work I would appreciate it.
You could try either a factory reset, or flash a newer PC10IMG
The PC10IMG's are signed, and seeing as you are S-ON, your phone will run a signature check, so you cannot modify the the zip at all, or it will fail.
-Nipqer
I tried to do a factory reset from recovery menu with no luck...its says :
E: can't mount /data/recovery log after it wiped data and cache
I tried the latest PC10IMG i could find including the one you refered too but it still says: Main Version is Oder!
I hope i dont have to wait till a newer version comes out
You might have the bad emmc chip then, there's more info here
-Nipqer
Ok so i looked thru the posts but i cant check to see if I have the good or the bad emmc chip. Now somehow I ve got android sdk to work in fastboot only so if i use comand i get
c:androidsdk/tools/fastboot devices
SH0C4R201107 fastboot
so that means it can see my phone. Is there anyway I can use this and fix it?
I cant get adb devices to work tho......
do you have eng or ship hboot? cause fastboot only really works with eng hboot.
-Nipqer
I think I have ship boot....I mean i never rooted the phone or anything
so nothing I can do then?
oh yeah, should've realised that...
From what I can work out there's nothing you can do, is it still under warranty?
-Nipqer
Nope... I have tried to flash recovery.img but i get
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4652 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.825s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.579s
I guess there is nothing else i could do except get a new phone...thanks for your help
I've been trying for two days and can't make it...
I have a Desire HD with 2.3.5, sw 3.12.207.1 and Sense 3.0 all stock. It isn't branded and it has S-On with H-BooT 2.00.0027
The thing I want to do is install CWM and have the ability after to flash ROMS. As I read I must first unlock the bootloader and then flash CWM correct?
The problem is that when I start the HTCDev instructions I get this:
C:\tools>fastboot oem get_identifier_token
< waiting for device >
...
FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))
finished. total time: 0.023s
I have HTC Sync, Android SDK, Java. I know that the phone is recognised in windows when working and in fastboot cause it always finds it with either "adb devices" or "fastboot devices". What am I doing wrong?
I tried Easy Ace Root Tool but still the same happens. Some more info if this helps. In the HTCDev steps it says that I should update with the RUU. When I try that (tried them all) I get this: ERROR [191] ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED
Any ideas??
update your hboot with this

You are in hboot USB plug And not in fastboot usb. And you Need To update your hboot
Hello,
So I've spent the last couple of days trying to root a T-mobile Wildfire S. The furthest I got is to get the bootloader unlocked (it's still S-ON). I've tried several utilities from xda forums as well as just the command line of this sort: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" with a few different recoveries. I always get the following error (with the numbers varying, obviously):
sending 'recovery' (4744 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 0.014s
I've tried it with the SD card I used on the phone as well as with cleanly formatted one.
Am I missing some basic step somewhere?..
If it helps, this is what it shows me when I do the power+volumedown boot:
*** UNLOCKED ***

This is driving me crazy. Considering I had to reset the phone to unlock the bootloader, not being able to at least get the benefits of rooting it is really frustrating. Any help is appreciated!
Since the error you received was a data transfer error I'm thinking it might be one of two things. Maybe its just your usb cable and you might have better luck with another one or you don't have all the HTC drivers properly installed. Not sure if this is related, but I've read that 2012 versions of the phone give you more trouble when trying to root them.
Sorry my knowledge is limited since I'm a it new to this as well. If its any consolation, I spent almost a whole day figuring out how to root my WFS.

You have to go to htc dev to unlock your bootloader... I think you'll find answer if u look around the forum.... Cause most of us unlocked it...
Without unlocking/s-off u cant get recovery flashed... If u cant flash one recovery try different recoveries... one of them should succeed..

Symptoms: Wi-fi stopped working (can't be turned on - error ) and all the icons and UI elements are filckering at times.
"Factory Reset" didn't work...
Had the idea to re-install the stock rom but didn't know how and couldn't find the right one on androidruu.com
Now considering a CM mod or something better if you can recommend for htc WFS if a stock can't be found.
While trying the "HTC Easy Unlock Bootloader Tool" (tried to install CM 10.1 for htc WFS) another problem occurred. When I came to the part when it puts the phone in HBOOT and I press any key ... in the cmd like "HTC Easy Unlock Bootloader Tool" it says:
Obtaining Unlock Token
... INFO[ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.007s]
finished. total time: 0.008s
Now copy the identifier token as shown here (use the right button of the mouse to choose mark and then press right button again to select) then paste the token at the botton of the page and submit. Opening HTVDEV site
Press any key to continue . . .
What to do people ? Help if you can. :crying:
Doesn't anyone know anything about this???
By googling, have found out that hboot 0.90 may not support "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" command
which is only logical after receiving "command error" in return.
So does anyone know how to update HBOOT from 0.90 to 1.09 ???? I tried from RUUs and PGs with no success.
Tried these (Phone is Next G, Telestra):
From Win7
1. RUU_Marvel_HTC_Europe_1.33.401.2_Radio_47.10.35.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_185724_signed

nothing worked....
Extracted rom.zip and tried from sdcard:
1. This one has the same HBOOT version so nothing happened
2. This one couldn't do it because of image version difference
(It has 2 rom.zip files, rom_01.zip and rom_02.zip. Tried with renaming rom_02.zip to PG76IMG.zip because it contains newer ver. of HBOOT.)
still... nothing happened...
HELP, getting desperate here
Hello folks!
I recently repaired an second hand Verizon Droid Incredible 2. It has Android 2.2.1 running and it is seemingly SIM-unlocked, but not rooted. I use it in Germany, got it from an American friend some years ago. It works reasonable well for calling, WiFi, UMTS etc.
But I can't install Android 4.x respectively CyanogenMod 9 or 10 on it, what I need for a development project!
I tried getting S-Off via revolutionary.io, which appears to be mandatory from what I can see on the following guide:
wiki . cyanogenmod. org / w / Install_CM_for_vivow
The process doesn't work for me. The following is what I get from the Bash command line, while my smartphone is hanging in the FASTBOOT USB bootloader screen:
$ sudo ./revolutionary

On the bootloader screen, I can see the following version numbers:
VIVO_W XB SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.97.0000
RADIO-0.99.01.0225_2
eMMC-boot
Furthermore I read the following guide:
www . androidauthority . com / droid-incredible-2-ics-cyanogenmod-9-cm9-unofficial-69716 /
It recommends rooting the Incredible 2 with ClockworkMod by using the following guide:
theunlockr . com / 2013 / 02 / 20 / how-to-root-the-htc-droid-incredible-2 /
I tried to flash the recovery image to my smartphone by bringing it into the FASTBOOT bootloader and applying the following in the bash terminal:
$ sudo ./fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivow.img
< waiting for device >
sending 'recovery' (3722 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.161s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.639s
As you can see, this does not work either.
From the first guide above I conclude, that I need Gingerbread running on my smartphone, since the guide explicitly says "0.97.0000 (Gingerbread only!)". The problem is, that I can't upgrade my Froyo 2.2.1 to Gingerbread 2.3. When I try to do so via the menu Settings -> Software Update -> Check from within Android it says: Network problem: network not available. But this is not due to connectivity issues, since everything works without a problem (WiFi, GPRS, GSM, really everything). I think the problem is, that I am not within the Verizon network in the US and my Incredible 2 wants its updates only from within this carrier, right? I know I would have to downgrade HBOOT after an update, but how can I update my Android version???
I really spend several days on this topic, I hope there is somebody out there who can help me. Just drop me some hints or ideas with which I can get into the right direction. Thanks in advance!
