[Q] about the hboot problem to flash newest ARA 3.13.405

now here is my quetion:
my hboot is 0.85,and i tried the asia and wwe sense 3.0 custom rom,but it‘s always stayed at the first screen,what’s wrong?
is the kernel problem that does not match my hboot ,or something else?
my recovery is 4EXT touch beta 7
Make sure in bootloader that it's written ENG S-OFF at the top of the screen.
It can't be a kernel problem, it's not loaded when you're in bootloader or recovery.
Explain how you try to change your ROM. From recovery, which version, with ADB, fastboot... Maybe try to follow the instructions on the first post of the thread where you find the ROM.

And also check which DHD you have.
Mine is not the one for China Mobile. So make sure that the ROM you will find here works also on the CDMA version.
My European DHD has no 3G on China mobile, only with Unicom (WCDMA).
I don't know if the China Mobile on is the same as for US market.
Maybe it works, maybe not Anyway, nandroid backup is always the first thing to do.

[Q] DHD doesn't start anymore after making eng s-off

Hello anyone,
Today I had done step by step form this guide. Everything went correct, every MD5 sum were pass, and last was correct with first and second. My DHD was rooted and fully unlocked by AAHK, but I needed to flash radio for new ROM what I want to flash in the future. I have stock ROM 2.3.3
Author of the guide warning "if checksum don't pass do not reboot..", but everything was fine, and my DHD is bricked, it doesn't turns up. If I connet device to the PC, and wait 3-4 min then I see HTC logo and phone start vibrating all the time, that makes them hot after few seconds. I do not want to break it more then I taking battery out.
Is any hope to save my DHD? Year ago with another DHD I used the same guide and everything went correct too, but that one works fine, that one nope.
I can help

The other device in the future will eventually become like your second. One must never mess with the eng boot unless they are tech savvy. You could try an ruu or the dumbass post to fix your device.
---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------
I also need your details...s off....boot loader unlocked??
Yeah, I'm a dumbass :laugh:
Now I see "[...]everything is permitted", I'm just worry about leave the phone vibrating, it makes phone really hot. I think this phone is rescued from another brick, cause before I made superCID I saw Chinese CID. Coincidence? But I'm not sure I had froyo in that one.. hm..
If you asking about it I've made fully unlock by AAHK, in BL was "ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL", have a root, busybox, superCID, CWM - everything.
..but S-OFF was done earlier, before I bought it.
Sorry for my english
OK it's done, phone is resurrected by wizzards from xda. You have my thanks :good:
..but still I'm a dumbass
No. Youre not a dumb butt. You managed to fix your device!! How did you manage to fix it? So others can learn...thanks
Is nice what are you said but I saw I need to learn much more. With that people like you I will really, I'm very grateful to you, you have save my phone. I saw many pages but in my country search do not show me that page may some day I help you, I hope

[Q] Rooting Vodafone UK HTC One M9

HI all,
I have been trying to root my HTC One M9 mobile which is branded under Vodafone. I have been scouring the internet for anything that will help, but to no avail - I have run into a couple of problems:
I don't have the Fastboot option when I go to Settings > Battery on this device
When attempting to load the Bootloader, I get the S-ON error.
I have tried using the HTCDev and when I try to do the initial fastboot i get what is shown in the attachments.
The phone is currently running Android OS 5.02... and I also had a look at this link but couldn't make heads or tails on what was done - http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/help/s-off-change-firmware-vodafone-branded-t3099330
Any ideas/help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Fast boot is actually download mode now, I know confusing.
Go to HTC Dev, then get yourself a custom recovery and then a ROM.
Done, there are quite a few guides out there mate

Can not run RUU

Trying to revert from GPE to Sense... RUU starts, goes to HTC grey screen, and then tells me that the USB can not connect to my device.. SuperCid, S-off, ATT converted to GPE.... Help? Mid is the 0p6b1200
Is the phone in bootloader-fastboot mode?
Any response to the command: fastboot devices

Yes and yes
I've noticed since I updated to MM GPE that I have to manually change the usb function from charging only to mtp transfer... Could this be the issue? Any fix?

Shouldn't affect fastboot.

Some folks have had to flash the Sense firmware before they can run the RUU.
But the normal symptom for that, is the RUU will run until it gets an error related to the fact that the system partition is too small.
What version Windows? Also, if you have USB 3.0 ports, those are known to be problematic with RUU.

Does the command "fastboot devices" return your phone's serial number?
If so, fastboot is working properly.

Fastboot and ADB commands work, Windows 10 recognizes my device, USB 3.0 but never had any issues... How do I flash firmware? I've always just ran the RUU for a clean install when going from GPE to Sense and back

Okay, so I finally got it flashed... Still have no idea what the issue was but now the OTA fails... SuperCid allows BS_US002 to update correct? Sorry, I don't play with this phone very much anymore

SuperCID shouldn't prevent OTA.
Which RUU (file name) did you end up installing correctly? Did you have to flash a firmware separately, or no (and if so, where did it come from?).
On the bootloader screen, what does it say for OS number?

Help me get back to stock on my AT&T HTC One M9.

I've played with this phone for some time, but am tired of messing around with it and just want to get back to stock with root and unlocked bootloader as fast as possible. AKA have someone walk me through it on a screenshare/call. I'm willing to pay for the help. Not sure what someone would want to tell me what to do and help me do it. Please send me a PM and I'll update this thread when I've found someone.
Current state of things:
Bootloader unlocked
S-On
CM13 from Feb2016 installed
TWRP recovery 2.8.7.0 or thereabouts installed.
I have windows7, 10, and Linux Mint boxes depending on which you prefer. I am fairly technical, but haven't messed with things since I mucked up my phone. I never thought it would be such a pain in the a$$ to get back to stock as this is the first time I modded my phone. Just don't have time to try 1000 things or read 1000 threads. :crying:
thanks
What's your current firmware version? (boot to download mode and copy the OS version number).
I'm fairly certain that AT&T has a Windows executable RUU that will restore your phone to stock. (You'll probably need to install HTC Sync Manager to get the right drivers installed)
---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------
When you get your firmware version, the key is to only use a RUU that matches your version number or is a higher version. Downgrading is not possible for S-ON devices.
The current version is OS-2.11.502.18

The latest RUU worked. Where it failed everytime before. I don't know what I did this time, but I'm back to stock. Thanks man!
No more help required.
