I've followed the instructions at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ruu-downloads which, for my network (O2UK), instructs me to "update" my ROM to 2.13.206.1. So I've updated OTA and find I have 2.26.401.3.
The problem is that the RUU from the above website won't recognise this 2.26.401.3 ROM as 2.13.206.1 and insists I "update" to 2.13.206.1 which I do not know how to do.
Is there any other way I can unlock the bootloader? Or can I get the 2.13.206.1 ROM from somewhere else and install that?

Just proceed to step 1..............If your version is higher than specified,you can unlock your phone's bootloader

You cannot install other ROM into your phone without bootloader unlocked.root permissions and CWM recovery.
If i helped you,click the "Thanks" button.Sorry for my English and have a nice night !

I think you're already have HBOOT unlockable (xxxx99)
Go to steps unlock bootloader without download ruu from htcdev.
Sent from MARVEL

You really don't need to update the boot loader and search for RUU when the HBoot ver is 1.08.xxx or later.
Just go thru this guide, will help you

Hi
I have the exact same Phone values and I got threw the prozess(the one behind the link above) and i got my wfs to ***UNLOCKED*** and i'm able to install new ROM's
buuuuuuuut
every Rom i installed is not capable to make or receive phone calls. Every time i try to do a call, the wfs says:
android.phone.prozess is shutting down
Did i forget anything or did anything wrong?
Got any help?

@clusternate, if your phone is MarvelC (cdma) then you have to flash ROM that suits your model.

I've got the europe (germany) version. so i think i need the GSM version.
I'm quiet new to rooting this devices. Are there different versions of every ROM?
I tried about 6-7 ROM's and not one of them worked. (MIUI, CM7, CM9, everyone from the wfs section of this forum)
A co-worker told me something about updating the modem of my wfs.
Is this true and is there a way to do it?
PS. Which ROM should work on my device?
PPS. There is another prozess that is failing.
Prozess.android.acore is also crashing.

[Q] Speaking the language of the HTC Wildfire S ??? :(

Greetings,
First humble apologies to those out there who have all the knowledge in the world, and to whom this seems like a question too simple to ask; alas I have very little technical knowledge on this subject and must seek help
OK ... I have a Wildfire S which I believe is UNLOCKED and S-ON:
***UNLOCKED***

RADIO - 7.57.39.10M
RUU 2.26.401.3
I have had the phone 'debranded' so it doesn't have any of the service providers nonsense on it ... but, I'm only running one or two apps on the phone and the darn Facebook built-in app is always trying to update and keeps popping up in the background as a running apps no matter how many times I 'kill' it.
I was told that there is a way of getting access to the root of the phone to delete/kill these pieces of pre-installed junk so that I can actually run the apps I want without the phone constantly reporting that it 'can't do this or that' because of low memory ... so perhaps one of you kind souls 'could spell it out', so to speak in simple terms so that I can try and find someone local who can doe these things ??
All I want is to have my phone unbranded, running a couple of apps of my choice without any interference from Junk like the Facebook app and other stuff that's been pre-installed before I got the phone ???
Many thanks

your phone is s-on so you need to root your phone.
when you bought your phone? if its 2012 model you need to use modded recovery and all.
and as your phone is unlocked you just need to use htcsupertool to add root permissions(if your phone is before 2012)
for rooting and all of 2012 wildfire s model follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997465
good luck.
after root you can add custom roms,delete junk apps and all what you want.

Cheers

Thanks ... but I've just had a look over at the instructional and I think I'll pass. The 'shorthand' is a bit ... imprecise for those of us who don't have the hands on experience; seems to be written by those who 'know' for those who 'know'.
I need to dig out some more basic stuff I think before I dive in.
Thanks again.

I did the bootloader unlock via HTCDev ... or at least I followed the online instructions with the 'token' etc and ended up with what I posted in the first/original post ... UNLOCKED with S-ON etc etc
As far as I remember, the phone was supplied as a replacement for my original phone sometime in 2012 hence the RUU 2.26.401.3 ... but as far as flashing ROMS etc is concerned I am absolutely at a total loss to understand the intricacies and requirements of just what is and what is not needed in order to get my phone to where I want it to be. If you can spell it out for me that would be great, if not, then I understand.

as you just wanted to remove some junk apps.so for it you need to root your device.as you already unlocked your bootloader you just need to add custom recovery and then from custom recovery you need to add root permissions.

[Q] Bootloader unlocked, s-on, want to get s-off

Hey all, I got my One the day it came out so I was lucky and was able to unlock the bootloader through htcdev. I haven't wanted to get s-off until now since I was pretty content to have the bootloader unlocked and s-on. I was looking into the rumrunner s-off but I wasn't sure if since I already unlocked the bootloader if I could use that method. Currently I am using CM 10.2.
In fastboot, here is what my phone reads (if that is at all helpful):

I know for a fact you would have to go back to stock everything. I would take a look through the original thread I know this has been talked about before in there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473644

thanks for the reply. I looked through the thread and couldn't find anyone that was in the same position. Maybe I'm just bad a searching but I did look through the thread already.

Look around page 8/9. From the looks you need to go back to stock with the stock kernel for it to work properly.

Thanks again. I haven't been able to find the stock files anywhere. Any suggestions?

[Q] Unable to enter recovery after using dd install method

Good day all,
I am unable to get into my TWRP recovery, have read through the forum and tried a couple of methods but still not able to get into recovery.
Below the series of events that led to this happening.
27/5/15
-wanted to install CM12.1 but needed to update my TWRP as it prompted me to have an updated version.
[backup my rom into my ext_sd card
-went to TWRP web site ( https://twrp.me/devices/htconem8gsm.html ) via computer and used the dd install method.
-believe it to be successful thus went for a recovery reboot but learnt that I was unable to get into recovery mode after waiting 30+ mins at the 'enter recovery mode' screen.
-tried to factory reset but was unable to factory reset as was unable to enter recovery.
28/5/15
-googled more and tried a few more methods.
-Tried to use a toolkit to get my CID and version number but saw I did not have the version number which was blank and read that countless others are also facing the same problem.
CID = HTC__004
-wanted to unroot and revert to stock rom but unable to get into recovery to flash the stock rom i downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376&highlight=version-main
-Tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2727831 (RUU to install twrp) --> the bootloader just seems to hang at the loading of the RUU file and can't get to phrasing it after 30mins of waiting.
-force to reboot phone via pressing power button and now my phone has a error saying 'system uids inconsistent', which i pressed feeling lucky to continue using.
Tried updating twrp via playstore app which still made me unable to enter recovery.
29/5/15
-nearly giving up hope

Use fastboot to erase cache, and flash TWRP with fastboot.

Managed to clear cache and install 2.7.2 twrp and now able to go into recovery.
However, believe I woulkd require twrp 2.8.0 and above to flash cm12.1 and the gapps as I am getting an error when trying to flash cm12.1 nightly in my current 2.7.2 twrp that says that I am unsuccessful.
Tried to update twrp via their app this time and seems to be unable to get into recovery again.
Had cleared cache and installed twrp 2.7.2 again and now awaiting your further assistance in updating my twrp.
Thanks!

Newer TWRP doesn't seem to do well with older hboot. What is your firmware version or hboot number?

Your hboot is the original that came with the phone/4.4.2
You definitely need to update. I would recommend not just your hboot but the whole firmware package. And what you listed as firmware isn't firmware, it's your ROM.
Boot into bootloader, and post the readout from it here. I, or someone else here, will be able to direct you on how to update it with that information.

Bell doesn't have any RUUs, unfortunately. You will need to use Sunshine to gain S-Off and switch to superCID to flash firmware, or go back to stock and take the OTAs that Bell provides.

Your OS was blank, which would have gave me the proper firmware/model you were on.

Any help much appreciated

What is wrong with the phone?
"Locked" in bootloader simply means the bootloader is locked, which is the normal stock condition. It doesn't indicate a problem in itself.

What recovery? How did you try to load it?
If you tried to flash a custom recovery like TWRP, you can't do that with a locked bootloader, by definitions (the very purpose of locking the bootloader).
But don't unlock the bootloader. You can install a complete factory image (RUU) using the following process and files: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6

by upgrade i ment do an update sorry.
by recovery i mean recovery as in im guessing the bootloader screen where it says software status modified. i just used the volume keys to go down to it and pressed the power button but the screen just reloaded back onto the software statuts modified screen.
i will have a go at the complete factory image install and post back with what happens although hopefully the phone will be working again.

I see, you mean "boot to recovery" (and in your case, stock recovery). I took "load" to mean you were trying to flash or install something.

So it either sounds like you know what RUU to use (needs to match your CID and version number), or you don't and you are guessing you will find it. Not clear which is the case.

Did you find a solution to this? I have exactly the same issue with my wife's old HTC One M8, which had been left to go flat for over two years. After recharging, it came back on with exactly the same message (I didn't even have to switch it on). It's never been modified in any way, apart from scheduled OTA updates

I gave a solution. But the RUU may not be for the M8 version you have. You have to provide specific device info, for anyone to be able to help you. Lots of versions of the M8, each with different (or no) RUU.

I have not used my HTC one M8 phone for nearly 2 years.

Cool story, bro. But seriously, you didn't ask a question or tell us what you need help with.
I'm guessing it is stuck on the bootloader screen (that you typed out and posted)?

i have the same problem. My HTC One m8 wont boot into android and its stuck in the bootloader. Even if i restart the phone it wont go to android. I have a 6.12.111.4 OS version. Could someone put a 6.12.111.4 os version here, because i want to install it! THANKS
