[Q][SOLVED] Need help with bricked Desire Z - S-ON | Stuck on white HTC logo

Hi, can some one respond to this? perhaps I bricked my Z doing:
I had rooted and S-OFF and I flashed PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip"
as I wanted to return to original stock rom. I did it from Goldcard SD card, what I prepared before. By doing this I lost root but remained S-OFF
Than I followed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Unrooting_and_Returning_to_Stock go to S-ON and I managed this. Everything was going smooth so later when I was non root and S-ON, an OTA update came and I confirmed. Also next OTA update 2.3.3 T-mobile came with 73MB update and I confirmed too later. But the phone stucked after second update to 2.3.3 on HTC Logo and does not boot system.
- Hboot works
- recovery does not work (red attention mark)
- I have working fastboot and adb from PC
- phone is now S-ON and not rooted
... but not sure how to continue
tried flash new recovery but all fastboot end up like this:
Code:
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-vision.img
sending 'recovery' (4466 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.770s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.261s
I can not flash another PC10IMG.zip as it says, no valid ID.
Really sucked here.
Anyone some good ideas or phone is postmortem?

You flashed a g2 rom on your dz?
I'd say grab the lastest rom from http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision
and flash it via ruu mode (fastboot oem rebootRUU, fastboot flash zip nameOfZip.zip)
-Nipqer

Yes I did
I tried now as per your advise, but I have signature errors, tried two zips, same result.
Code:
$ fastboot flash zip Vision_TMOUS_1.12.531.0_Radio_12.18.60.05P_26.01.00.17_M2_144460.zip

Any Ideas?

thanks. all images and I tried about 6 different including RRU I got from exe and gained from temp dir gives:
Code:
Image verification failed
HBOOT drops back to main menu, recovery says this error message.
any more hints?

Could you join the #G2ROOT irc channel on freenode It'll be easier to try help you there.

Solved by creating GC by different method. Looks we did not have working GC before.

Can you be a bit more specific?

Check your firmware against your installed rom version - happens when firmware needs update

Htc
Forgot to mention that it wouldnt turn on since it came out the box.
Kernel - 3.4.0 elemental
Baseband - 1.19.21331147a1
Build numb - 3.28.401.9

Htc
Hboot - 3.18.0.0000
Radio- 1.19.21331147a1
Os - doesn't mention anything at all

Yeah, that baseband is wrong against that 3.28.401.9, update firmware, should be 1.22.223.....

So which firmware you suggest, any link to download a zip to flash?
What about the os that is empty?

OS is blank because you got custom recovery, probably TWRP - flash firmware from within fastboot -- http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/HTC/HTC_One_M8/401/3.28.401.9.zip

You gotta do - fastboot oem rebootRUU and only then execute the next command

Ok what i need is s-off as i thought i had it. firewater doesnt work anymore as it mentiones in thread. there is sunshine method but it costs 25 dollars. lolz no way. is there another way to gain s off?

Im a bit confused . Please some help guys. I got s-on,does that mean i cant flash another firmware to get my wifi to work?

I would really recommend you S-Off your device, if you want to flash firmware
otherwise:
1- flash signed firmware incrementally, signed firmware expects previous updates to already be there, so if you skip directly to the last, you'll end up stuck with a high version firmware, but missing previous updates!!!!!!
2- you need to relock your bootloader, for fastboot oem rebootRUU mode flashes to work

Thanks for the response.
i tryed to s-off with firewater but i think this service has stopped?or does it still work as a method?
Device is s-on with unlocked bootloader. I read that with s-on u cant flash kernels-radios-baseband. Is radio equal to baseband? a guy in earlier post said that to get my wifi working i have to update the firmware. Exactly he said that baseband is wrong against that 3.28.401.9, update firmware, should be 1.22.223.
So how do i get that firmware + how i flash it + in what state should the device be?
thats what im asking

hi, just a quick FYI, you need to quote (ie reply) or mention (for example @ nkk71 <- without the space) someone, for them to get notified ... otherwise it may go unnoticed.
anyway,
1- firewater is discontinued and in either case was not very suited for the M8 anyway, except for some of the very early models it would have failed. sunshine ($25) is the only known software solution for s-off
2- the response earlier about what you see in Settings->About (3.28.401.9) only refers to the version the ROM (not firmware) is based on
3- the firmware you get from a "fastboot getvar all" from version-main; if that's missing (a bug in some twrp versions), you can make an educated guess by looking at hboot version + radio + date in bootloader
4- radio is equal to baseband, but not equal to firmware.... firmware contains a lot more than just hboot and radio
5- with s-on, you can only flash signed firmwares (these are usually extracted from OTA.zips), and have to match your MID and CID... you also need to have bootloader relocked for RUU mode flash to work
^^ plus, since those are updates, they will only contain whatever was changed from the previous OTA update, that's why if you intend on staying s-on, you should flash those incrementally, and not skip a version
(for example, the "latest" signed firmware could just be an update to hboot or something, but missing all the previous radio, touchscreen, etc updates.... because and official update [by definition] implies all the previous updates were already installed)
hope that helps a bit

your hboot+baseband version would indicate you are either on 2.22.401.4 or .5 (minor difference)
you should flash in increasing order:
3.28.401.6.zip
3.28.401.7.zip
3.28.401.9.zip
from here: http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One_M8/401/
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 3.28.401.6.zip
fastboot flash zip 3.28.401.6.zip <- yes twice, make sure it says successful/finished
fastboot reboot-bootloader
once you are back in bootloader, make sure the OS- line has been updated to the version you flashed, and is not in red (if it is in red, that means the flash didnt complete properly)
then repeat the above commands for the 2 other firmwares
Note: the higher the firmware, the less chances of getting S-OFF, just to let you know

Revert from Demo to Stock?

Hi guys,
I have a HTC One M8, CID HTC__002 and I am trying to remove the demo content. The device was previously a retail unit, and so the demo content came pre-installed. I downloaded the RUU found in this thread here and successfully flashed the .exe version of it, however on rebooting despite the phone being factory data reset, the Demo video still plays!
A few months ago I successfully converted one of our other display M8 models to a Google Play Edition, however this was a very lengthy process, and I had to pay to get S-Off. Though I have no issue paying for S-Off, I don't really want to be paying the fee twice, and so I don't want to go down the route of converting this to a Google Play Edition. Converting to Google Play, did however, successfully remove the demo content.
I want the phone to be 100% stock on Sense, with no demo content what-so-ever. Please can somebody point me in the right direction?
Thanks, Mike!

Once S-OFF, always S-OFF. I change from GPe to Sense weekly and it's never been an issue

Hi Eddy,
Good to see you on the HTC section still, you helped me a few times back when I first joined! In regards to S-Off, I'm talking about two different handsets here. To date I have had two demo units of the HTC One M8. I paid for S-Off on one, but I don't really want to pay S-Off for two. Can you use the S-Off tool more than once if you have paid for it?

Ah right, sorry mis-read that bit. Unfortunately you'll need to pay for each device - I don't think Sunshine offer a bulk order as yet

Damn, do you know of any other way I could remove the demo content?

Have you try remove demo.apk in system/etc then do factory reset ?

How would I do this, what is the process?

Root the phone and then use a root file manager to remove it. TBH, I'd just stump up the money for Sunshine, run the 4.16.401.10 RUU and be done with it!

If there is an RUU available, and it otherwise fits the criteria (new or same version), then it should have completely cleaned the phone out completely. That is what RUUs do.
However, the $25 for S-off is easily worth it. All of the crap people put up with to do anything on their phone disappears. You can upgrade/downgrade firmware at will. You can alter your CID/MID all day. You can lock/unlock your bootloader without triggering a factory reset. Tired of lollipop? Downgrade completely (firmware and all) to KitKat. It's almost like having a Nexus device.

Hi Jay
I get demo devices through my employer, every single HTC ROM out there inclues demoflow, the device it's self is essentialy a generic unit with an alternate CID, the demo installation and launch is triggered by CID HTC_002, the most effective way to get rid of demoflo and make the device 100% generic, is to S-Off and supercid! (11111111)
Once you are supercid you can flash any ruu and you will still have a 100% generic device, OTA updates and all... Demo won't even install.
The alternative method would be to simply remove /system/etc/.demoflo and /system/priv-app/DemoFlowInstaller
This will break ota and carrying the 002 cid will bring demoflo back when you flash any HTC ruu.
My M9 came as a demo unit, I modified the supersu installer to do the work for me as S-off isn't yet available... Htc dev unlock - twrp & flash the modified supersu zip.. once again breaking ota but I have an ruu on standby..
Feel free to shout if you need assistance.
Thanks

Hi Lee,
Sorry it's taken me a few days to thank you for this post - but thank you! I have an M9 that is stuffed with demo content on the _002 CID. Could you help me in removing this software? I would really appreciate it.

Confused on the upgrade process

Hey everyone,
Its been a long time since I updated my phone.
Here's my configuration:
HTC One M8
Android Version: 4.4.4
HTC Sense version: 6.0
Unlocked, M8_UL, S-On
HBOOT: 3.16.0.0000
Radio: 1.15.2133156.UA13G

(bootloader) cidnum: HTC__001
(bootloader) security: on
(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP
(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
Now I tried to turn to convert to S-OFF using Sunshine but it comes up with this: Debug Kernel/Ramdisk - Your device has a debuggable ramdisk. You need to flash a non-debuggable boot.img
I want to go back to the hassle free official Android version provided by HTC. I have tried to look for a up to date guide, however the download links are dead.
Can someone point me in the right step? It'll be much appreciated.
Thank you

why do you need to s-off the device ??
AFAIK it will work on stock roms only ( rooted is fine )
you have an outdated version of android
to be completely stock and have the latest android version available for this device officially
do what this post said (( all of it ))

did you relocked the bootloader ??
if yes try another method to flash and check the md5 for the RUU.zip
this is the easiest method to flash a signed RUU.zip https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67307303&postcount=1748

The bootloader is currently unlocked (it says ** UNLOCKED ** in purple).
I just tried to open the ZIP file, in Windows, and it says cannot be opened, so I do think it was corrupt somehow. I am going to download it again and see if it does it again.
If it doesn't work again, I will try your other method.
Thank you buddy.

no you can't open the .zip it's signed with htc keys and you can't open it by normal apps
now relock the bootloader as the guide said in the linked post above
it should be relocked to flash a signed RUU.zip on s-on device
no need to download again

WORKS

Not sound at all - Flashing something a long time ago

So, like I found in another threads my old phone, has not sound at all. I tried to fix it years ago, with not luck, but I wanna give it another chance since still it's a great phone.
This is my getvar all

all: Done!
I tried almost everything, it's currently S-ON, I tried a millon times going S-OFF with HTCDev steps, but nothing. It's UNLOCKED.
If anyone would give me a hand with this, would be awesome.. since my actual phone is broke, like my wallet. :crying:
Thanks! :fingers-crossed:

HTCDev is not a process to get s-off. It is a process to unlock the bootloader (but you say it's already UNLOCKED). Sunshine is the only valid method to s-off. You can try anything else a billion times, and it will never work.
You most likely also do not need s-off to get the phone working properly again.
I have a feeling that no sound is due to outdated firmware, possibly in conjunction with a custom ROM (ROM - firmware mismatch).
My suggestion, try to relock the bootloader (command: fastboot oem lock) then the following RUU:
http://gsm-firmware.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=file&id=14070
The RUU will wipe all personal data on the phone.

"Signature verify fail" usually means the bootloader is unlocked. Did you relock the bootloader as I advised (mandatory in order to install the RUU)? Or if you did, can you verify is says RELOCKED near the top of the bootloader screen?

I believe you need to flash 6.13.631.7 firmware first before you can install the RUU
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60218734&postcount=5
Also you need htc_fastboot to fastboot flash RUU zip

Good point, and makes sense, as most of the US M8 variants require firmware to be flashed for Marshmallow RUU. Even though Rogers is Canadian, that version tends to follow the same rules as the US versions!

Sorry I took long time to reply.
I tried flashing the firmware, using htc_fasboot and fastboot. Both will give me this error.

Hard to tell exactly what you tried to do here, since you didn't include the actual command, name of the file you tried to flash, etc. Always include as much specific info as possible. "install a rom" is not sufficient info.
You tried flashing a custom ROM over fastboot? If so, that isn't the proper way to flash a custom ROM. You need custom recovery (TWRP) to do that. So that is the reason for "not allowed" (since it isn't).
But before doing so, we should look closer at the RUU (why it isn't booting) first. Since installing TWRP requires unlocking the bootloader, etc. Better to eliminate the RUU as a solution first, so we don't have to keep going back and forth unlocking/relocking bootloader.
Did the RUU finish successfully without any errors? If there were errors, what did it say specifically? If you don't know the answers to those questions, you can run the RUU again. Even cut/paste the output so we can look at it.
