Have you checked your Google account on a PC or other device ? check all is well there first
Lol flash twrp and install any rom.
if you are ok with losing all your data you can use a RUU to restore the system from your current state.
1. download this: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24671318762849095
2. rename the zip file to 2PS6IMG.zip
3. put it on your SD card and put it in your phone.
4. boot into download mode, it will recognise the zip and begin the ruu process.
5. once it's finished it will reboot; it might take a little longer than usual to boot but just wait about 5min or so.
done.
at a guess i'd say that if it doesn't work or it happens again then your board is probably cooked and you should start looking for a new phone...

also when booting into stock recovery the red exclamation mark screen is normal; what you have to do is hold down the power button and press vol up and the recovery menu should appear.

Are you sure this is the proper RUU for him? First of all, that RUU is super old. Probably too old for the OP to use unless he's S-Off (you can't go backwards with firmware while S-On)
Second of all, you don't even know which model he has. That RUU is for WWE/European. It won't work on US Unlocked/Sprint/Verizon/o2/T-mo etc...... but ONLY on a WWE branded device. You need matching MID and CID for the RUUs to work.
@Markieboy don't use that RUU. Boot to download mode and post here what it says next to "OS" and I or someone else can provide you with the appropriate one to use (although I'm not sure if it will work in this case).
Try this: If you can boot to download mode, you should be able to flash TWRP via fastboot (your bootloader is unlocked, correct?).
Then boot to TWRP > advanced > file manager then navigate to /data/system/ and delete the locksettings.db file. This will disable your lockscreen PIN/password.

Hi no unfortunately the phone is bog standard I haven't unlocked the bootloader or anything. It's a non branded wwe firmware version....
i'd say pay for the s-off, there's no other way to fix your phone. but i still think your board is cooked.

Sorry for taking so long to respond. This is the RUU.zip you should use. You can follow the instructions a few posts back, just use this download instead of the one linked.

The question is, what were doing on that phone to cook all these? Mining Bitcoin?

Friend got a vogue but he "bricked it" he doesnt even remember what he did,
he is very new at this and looks like he did a rom update without doing a radio update first.
i have an HTC titan but i am going to buy this vogue off of him if i can fix it.
so here is the issue...
when u start the goes it goes to the 3 color tri-color boot screen...
it goes right there without even me holding down the power and camera buttons.
i used mtty to get it out of that screen... i do set 16 0 and some other thing i can't remember for the life of me now in mtty
i reboot the phone and now it get the a custom Dette clean rom 6.1 splash screen but it says no Radio and it now just stuck there.
i tried to load the stock rom on a 2 gig fat32 formated flash card and inserted it into the phone. then boot it to the 3 color screen, and it just says no file! in gray backbground then goes back to the tri color screen...
i made sure the name was correct.. i tried "Voguimg.nbh" i tried "voguimg." and just "voguimg" then i tried it in all caps and then all first letter cap then rest lower case...
it is spl-2.01.1000
i think my friend flashed the rom without upgrading the spl as well.
i tried to flast it with sp 2.31 but i couldnt get it to load it. i guess i can't flasth to 2.31 in the tri color screen...
any ideas? any help would be greatly apreciated. spent about a week on this... probably about 2 to 3 hours reading and reseaching daily.

I even tried to stock vogue roms (this is a verizon phone)
but i tried even the following sprint stock roms:
RUU_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_1.12.651.1_2.13.00_SPC_NV133_Ship.exe
this gets me to 1% then errors out
and says error 328 invalid command, this update utility can not be used with my phone. please check my update utility... wat
RUU_PPST_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_3.03.651.2_Radio_3.42.30_AM_NV_2.04_Ship.exe
this one stays at 0%
tried the verizon stock rom...
which stays at 0%
i dont know if the spl has something to do with it but i read the first file i mentioned the stock rom 1.12... reloads the spl, boot loader, everything to original.
I noticed when I first flashed my phone, also xv6900, that when I was unlocking, I didn't fully complete it, and it showed SPL version 2.10, or something along that line.
There is no stock VZW ROM available, so that's a waste of time. I think the first problem is, you have no idea how it got that way. I'd assume your friend didn't complete the unlocking process, then ran the RUU for the new ROM.
I'm not 100% sure, hopefully someone can either correct me on this, or confirm.
You should be ok since you can enter the bootloader. Perhaps you could try relocking it, you would use ImCokeMan's relocker, should be SPL version 0.43. Then you could try unlocking again.
I'd suggest checkin at PPCGeeks, asking in either the general Vogue flashing threads, or try asking ImCokeMan himself.
i will try .43, i am trying .41 but it keeps saying no device connected would you like to try copying again?

unbricking ur phone
Unbricking Vogue / and downgrading SPL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edited *This will help those that are stuck at the HTC welcome screen and cannot get past it to load IMCokeMan's Unlocker.**
Edit by ImCoKeMaN: If you are stuck in bootloader (3 color screen) use titanexitbl or mtty (set 16 0 then task first and try these steps only if that doesn't work.
Apparently you can not use SDHC cards with this method, please use the 512mb card that came with your phone.
I have successfully unbricked my phone due to updating the Alltel rom to a non Alltel Vogue, before IMCokeman had released his unlocker an also have downgraded to the previous SPL version. I will shortly update this post with the How to instructions. I just need to retrace my steps.
I would first like to thank IMCokeMan for his help and unlocker.
I currently have a Sprint Vogue but I assume this will work for all versions
For those that had loaded the Alltel rom without the unlocker and have bricked there phone try this procedure to unbrick your phone.
1. First download IMCokeMaN's 2.31 Unlocker. http://rapidshare.com/files/11019074...r_MFG_2.31.exe
2. Extract IMCokeMan's unlocker
Previous SPL version was 2.31 current SPL version is 0.36
Edit by ImCoKeMaN:
Note: Steps 3, 4 and 5 should not be necessary, but step 6 is critical that it is a signed rom from your carrier
3. Navigate to the extracted folder and within the folder you will find the following file called VOGUIMAG2.nbh and rename it to VOGUIMG.nbh
4. Copy the file to a fat32 memory card, and insert it back into your phone, and place it into bootloader mode.
5. The phone should display Loading... let it sit there for a minute or so. It will not go past this screen, now reboot the phone.
6. Extract your official rom using WINRAR by right click and extract files (Must be a signed EXE from your carrier get it from HTC support website)
7. Navigate to the extracted folder and within the folder you will find the files
8. Copy the files to your memory card (less than 2gb and formated fat32) and insert it back into the phone and place it back into bootloader mode(POWER+CAMERA+RESET USING STYLUS), and install the your Carrier's Official ROM.
I have attached the VOGUIMG.nbh file for those that are having problems.

these instructions do not seem to work me.
he has a sprint phone... he assumes it works for all types but i have a verizon phone... and on a signed verizon nbh file ... it only says loading... and gets stuck there... on step 6... and a sprint rom says loading.. and then says checking right away and then says not allowed in red and goes back to the 3 color screen.
also the poster of this mentions he has spl 2.31... my spl says spl-2.01.1000 which is not .40 .41 or 2.31 (the most comment spl's i have seen referenced)
has anyone ran into these conditions? spl 2.01... stuck, and has verizon.
mine was originally stuck at the 3 -color boot screen... even after taking battery out and putting it back in and just powering on without holding camera-power keys... it goes into the boot screen only...
so i used mtty did set 16 0 and then "boot" and now when i restart the phone it goes right to the splash screen and gets stuck there saying dette's clean rom ... but "no radio" and just stays there.
Hi guys,
I'm in trouble, I'm a little confused, I cannot use my desire anymore.
I just would like to know how to recognize if my desire is SLCD or AMOLED before to do anything else.
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.83.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-4.08.00.09
Original Image: 1.24.161.3 with 32.41.00.32U radio
How can I know that??
Secondly I would like someone can confirm me the meaning of branded or unbranded: am I right if I say that my mobile is unbranded if I can use it with different operator SIM?
I'm I right if I say that I don't need any gold card if my mobile is unbranded?
thanks a lot for confirming me this steps, after that I can take the right way to recovery it!

Hboot 0.82 indicates that it is a SCLD
As for question 2 here goes (no offence meant to anyone but I will be a bit blunt)
The terms branded and debranded are not often used on android forums, at least by people with knowledge. it is usually used on mainly non-smartphones to denote removing of carrier specific firmware and changing it to default or stock firmware.
Now on here I have seen it used in many different ways
- to root
- to root and flash a stock rom
- to just remove carrier crap, but not root
Its best to just avoid that terminology altogether. It has nothing to do with being able to use another sim card, that is "sim lock" and you will need to get your phone "sim unlocked" in order to use it on a different network.
Edit: as far as I can remember you should just be able to use the one click root method without any need for a goldcard.

Hi Lenny,
thanks for your answer.
The point now is that I cannot use one click root method because I cannot switch on my mobile system. I can only switch it on in fastboot way.
Can you please suggest me a way to flash my rom in that mode?
Thanks

ok, what happened to cause your phone to stop booting then?
Does the screen work for the HBOOT menu (volume down and power on)
yes I can boot my phone only by pressing volume down and power button I cannot enter to recovery menu the screen became black, I tried to follow the procedure http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748498 method 2 without success and method 1 many times but nothing happen, always black screen.
thanks for help me and sorry for my english.
edit:
what I did:
I rooted my phone with unrevoked but with the default recovery image so I coudn't see Recovery menu anymore, than I've download Rom Manager and I said reboot in recovery mode after I put update.zip file in my SD. Thats'all! Tried to change update.zip but always black screen.
try this guide

Sorry lenny,
I cannot switch on my phone and set parameters:
2.With your Desire go to Settings > Connect to PC > Default connection type > Disk drive then Untick ‘Ask Me’
3.Then go to Settings > Applications > Development > Make sure USB Debugging is ticked.
4.Then go back to Applications and make sure Unknown Sources is ticked.
so the unrevoked tool doesn't work.

I've tried to use adb tools from windows, I can see the phone and use commands by command line. Tried with AM Recovery Application but it doesn't go on.
Ok
1) where did you get the phone from, was it brand new?
2) has it ever worked?
3) have you flashed or changed anything since getting it?
You may have to get a rom.zip from a SLCD comaptible ruu (might be in top thread of dev section)
rename it to pb99.img
put it on your sd card
boot into hboot
it should ask you to flash
that should fix it.
BUT ONLY DO THIS IF YOU HAVE NEVER FLASHED A NEW HBOOT AND REALLY DO HAVE AN SCLD SCREEN
(thanks 42Turkeys)
well:
1) just bought 2 days ago I'm in switzerland,
2-3) sure it was working before I've tried to flash it with Rom Manager. I've rooted it succesfully because I could use applications like titanium backup and Rom Manager... but with the wrong recovery image (you said my phone should be SLCD, I used the default recovery image in unrevoked)

There is a chance you used an old unrevoked that flashed a non-SLCD version of clockwork.
You need to do what I posted above to fix.

put it into the SD root and switch on the phone in hboot

even if my original one is 1.24.161.3 and is not there.
than you said to rename the zip files with pb99.img (is that the right file name?)
put it into the SD root and switch on the phone in hboot
that's right?
thx

yes you need to open the ruu up, find the folder rom.zip and rename it to what you just said.

So I have a PG76100 according to whats inscribed on the phone.

apr 08,2011 17:45:10
image version 1.35.707.3
I tried the RUU's for PG7610000 none of which worked , also tried the HTC India Asia Ruu just in case which didnt work either. So perhaps there is a long wait for me yet again to root the phone
100% SUCCESSFUL!!! I am now HBoot Unlocked I have awaited this day for to long...
Ok so I brought the phone from Telecom, it says its a A510b, model number PG76120 (found behind the battery, just below the SIM card slot)
So what I have done to achieve this result:
1: Simply sign up to the HTCdev website www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ once done, select the HTC Wildfire S from the drop list to begin
2: After accepting all the terms and agreements bla bla their is a list of ROMS, their was only 3 options for the model that I have PG76120, so I downloaded the HTC Thailand RUU
3: Ok so if you end up running the RUU it will tell you that the ROM is out of date with an error message, what I found out (this took me all day...) when you first open the RUU (this is if you run Windows) their will be a Temp folder made with all the files that the RUU needs to run, if you search the Temp Folder (usually found under the user folder in Documents and Settings\<User>\Local Settings\Temp) these files will only exist if you leave the RUU Program open, so just open it up and move the window to the side, search under the Temp folder for rom
4: You will find 2 zip folders named rom_01 and rom_02, copy these 2 zips to your desktop
5: Now change the name of rom_01 (im not 100% sure if its 01 or 02 that you need to do first, I cant remember) to PG76IMG and copy it over to a microSD, insert into your phone and boot into HBoot, it will go through the normal process of detecting and then opening the zip and will ask you if you wish to update the radio to v2 (it should only ask to update the radio, because you need to do it first before you use the second file which asks to update both the radio and hboot) allow to do so and it will do its thing and when completed ask to reboot.
6: Now change the name of the second rom (if I have the order right this should be rom_02) to PG76IMG, remove the first file you put on the microSD and replace it with second, back into HBoot, it will read the file and ask you to update HBoot and Radio, allow it to do so and it will update the HBoot, should say OK next to HBoot, once completed it will ask to be rebooted
7: To check that this has all happended correctly, go back into HBoot (remove your microSD before this) and you should have a pink box up the top stating *LOCKED* if you see this and your HBoot version is now 1.08.0099 (if you used the RUU that I did) you are now ready to go through the HTCdev Bootunlock process
8: Do the HTCdev Bootunlock process, it is straight forward and easy to do!
9: Forget needing to use the XTC and starting modding you HTC Wildfire S!!!

Hope this helps you, I managed to do this all today
Best of luck
I'm about to try this method. Hope it works. Will let you know if it does
Thanks!
edit: Didn't work. I tried both HTC Thailand and HTC Asia/India. Thanks though.
Now im wondering how to remove that Pink locked thing..

Unfortunately this did not work as well, but thanks anyway.
I wanted to try this out but (Step 3/4) there are no rom_1 zip or even folders in the temp folder ( I use windows 7 C:\Users\XxX\AppData\Local\Temp ) I did a search as well for ROM but did not yield any results. And yes I had the program open when I was looking for the zips.
Can you tell specifically what error yop are getting?
would be happy to help.
Did you flash the zip file in the given link???
Me too
My Wildfire S ROM version is 1.35.707.3 too (other details are also the same). I got failed too with RUU HTC EU (PG7610000_Marvel_hboot_1.08.0099_20111216.exe). Many other RUUs says MODEL ID ERROR (Wrong RUU version I think).
These are the screenshots.
I also just got mailed from HTC Customer Care saying this:
"May I confirm with you have you ever rooted your original ROM, please? If you have never rooted your original ROM, then there's no need to ask about the RUU and just avoid this step and proceed with the next step."
I put the zip on the sd card & followed the instructions.
Parsing
1] booloader -bypassed
2]radiov2 updating
then
1] booloader -bypassed
2]radiov2 OK
update complete
press power to reboot
My bootloader is still 0.90.0000 but my radio updated to 7.53.39.03M from 7.46.35.08
With RUU HTC EU? Can you proceed now with fastboot command to get your token?
Just wanna say thanks once again
I finally got it to work. I got the same specs as the OP
Didnt realize that i needed to skip all the RUU process and just go straight to the next step. Did that and followed the instructions. And now finally got an unlocked bootloader
THANKS!

Dude... You need to flash the rom_1.zip first and then the rom_2.zip!!(both renamed to PG76IMG.zip and flashed by placing them i sd one after the other!)
U cant just flash one of them!!!
it first upgrades your radiov2 thing for some reason in the rom_1.zip then it upgrades ur bootloader and your radiov2 thing!

Similar problem it is observable two days. It is a lot of people. In some phones the loader 0.90.0000 is updated easily, and in others is not updated. The decision yet do not send. The reason of the similar phenomenon too is unknown. The given phenomenon was observed also at change of 1.33 - 1.66 - 2.13. Thus the loader remained 0.90.0000....
What it is possible to try to make in a similar situation? We tried to make:
1) Temporary root
2) the install hboot through adb.
But it has turned out nothing because of signature check

What you might be doing wrong is that your not getting those rom files from the correct RUU depending on that model of your Wildfire (found behind the battery under the SIM carrier) you have to use the right one that suits your phone and then go through the process that I have posted up, other wise it wont work.

Thanks, I have understood all. The most interesting, that after an insertion of the first archive with radio special the hboot became S-OFF 0.90.0000. Can be it is not necessary to raise it and not to install the second archive? There can be it would be real S-OFF or no?

The rom_01 and rom_02 files only appear in the temp files briefly during the update process, I couldn't find them at first either.
What I did was step through the RUU process (clicking next) and looking in the temp directory after each step, I think they appear before you hit next to start the update (and then vanish when you hit next to start the process).
Am on windows 7 too and found them in the same directory you mentioned.
As the title states, I recently woke up to find my phone in the fast boot menu.
I have no idea what's going on or why it's in this state, as I've done nothing to it.
No root. No custom recovery. Nothing.
I simply put it down before I went to bed and that was all.
I've tried going into the 'hboot' option and selecting Fastboot, recovery, and even Factory Reset as a final option. All that happens whenever I've selected any option is that the phone reloads back into fastboot. The splash screen before hand is of 3 android mascots on skateboards.
I've seen some other threads here with similar issues, yet none like mine.
They've all seemed to be rooted phones, with or without custom recoveries on them.
I've no idea what's going on with the phone and would really appreciate any help or advice.

So if its never been modded, the bootloader screen should also say LOCKED near the top and SOFTWARE OFFICIAL (or something like that). Can you confirm those?
If so, you can try to run the RUU and see if that helps the issue. Just download the RUU to a Windows PC (Win7 and USB 2.0 for best results), connect the phone to the PC in bootloader-fastboot mode, and double-lock the RUU executable to run it. You'll also need to have HTC Sync installed on the PC.

Yeah, as you said, it says
*** Software status: Official ***
*** LOCKED *** (highlighted in purple) on top in the menu.
I have actually tried using the RUU software before. The times that I've tried using it, it attempts to reboot the phone back into the fastboot menu, which turns it off. The phone never turns back on in time, for as soon as it does, the software says it's unable to do it.
Though I haven't tried that double-lock method you mentioned. And I do have the HTC Sync software installed as well.

It should say "double click" (to run the RUU program). Not sure if there was some runaway spellcheck going on there, when I posted. But its not any different from what you've tried.
Another method you can try, is to download the RUU zip from Post #4 of the same thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51836733&postcount=4
Rename to 0P6BIMG.zip, copy to SD card, insert card into phone, and reboot into bootloader, and it should automatically install it.

Search to see if it was posted elsewhere (4.20.530.4 RUU in zip format). Otherwise, another option is to run the RUU.exe on your PC, then look in your Windows temp folder for a ROM.zip, which is the same thing (zip format RUU).

Alright, so I've gotten the rom.zip from the ruu.exe.
I've renamed it as you said to, moved it to an SD card, and popped that SD card into the M8.
I turned on the M8 and it went into the fastboot menu as expected. I then selected the hboot option.
It then started to read the zip and flash it, then asking if I want to start the update.
After selecting yes, the bootloader started updating, but the partition update failed.
it read,

This is false. Stock recovery is not needed for RUU, but it is for OTA (which RUU and OTA are two very different things).
In any case, it doesn't appear the device was ever modded (to not have the stock recovery) in the first place.

Can you post the whole install log output?
Failure to write partitions with the proper RUU (locked bootloader, stock device), plus the spontaneous OS failure that started this whole discussion, to me implies a sudden hardware failure (bad emmc, etc.) and you might be out of luck here.

Well, thank you for trying to help out anyways. I'll continue to exhaust any and all additional options I have left, as I still think that the phone can be saved. If I'm proven wrong, and there's nothing that can be done, then I'll give up.
Still got hope though

Hi,
I have test the TW stock rom, it's fine that you can't decompression this special zip file.
And I found another way to update this RUU into the Butterfly3.
The system will check the file "0PL2IMG.zip" from ext-SD everytime you boot into download mode(Pow+Vol down), so i change
the stock Rom's name and put it to the root of my EXT SD card, then boot your phone into download mode again, it will show up
some words at the bottom of the screen asking you whether to update the system or not.
Be sure you have done the "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" at recovery mode before you do this.
Enjoy~

I have successfully flashed the TW rom from the original link shared by Gixermouse and mrquyen1993. The zip file does give the error but it is meant to be that way (as mentioned by seaturtleSTO).. However, I was still getting errors when trying to flash it on using power + vol down and then vol up.. I had to change the MID of the phone first to 0PL220000 ("command: fastboot oem writemid 0PL220000" in fastboot mode through cmd). I had to then format my external SD card to match byte size of 4096 (initially it was 32Kbytes) NOTE: IF THIS IS NOT DONE THEN YOU CAN'T COPY THE FILE AS IT IS (IN WINDOWS) AND CANNOT FLASH. THE BYTE SIZE HAS TO BE 4096.
After this I copied the file again to ext SD card and flashed it through power + vol down and then vol up. It worked this time !
After the above I followed the guide provided by mrquyen1993 to install the OTA of Marshmallow 6.0 (https://htchtv31.wordpress.com/2016...hat-android-6-0-1-dai-loan-cho-htc-b3-htv-31/). You have to change the CID of the phone to HTC__621 (fastboot oem writecid HTC__621) to successfully download and install Marshmallow.
Thanks everyone for the help and I hope what I have mentioned above will be helpful to others!
NOTE: I have S-OFF only with no bootloader unlocked, no root and no TWRP installed. This works for stock phones but needs S-OFF I assume.

You don't extract file rom by rar because it was embedded certificates HTC.
You can install using adb or hboot
Hi,
Can I install these ROMs using the TWRP restore function? Or install?

I have successfully flashed the TW rom from the original link shared by Gixermouse and mrquyen1993. The zip file does give the error but it is meant to be that way (as mentioned by seaturtleSTO).. However, I was still getting errors when trying to flash it on using power + vol down and then vol up.. I had to change the MID of the phone first to 0PL220000 ("command: fastboot oem writemid 0PL220000" in fastboot mode through cmd). I had to then format my external SD card to match byte size of 4096 (initially it was 32Kbytes) NOTE: IF THIS IS NOT DONE THEN YOU CAN'T COPY THE FILE AS IT IS (IN WINDOWS) AND CANNOT FLASH. THE BYTE SIZE HAS TO BE 4096.
After this I copied the file again to ext SD card and flashed it through power + vol down and then vol up. It worked this time !
After the above I followed the guide provided by mrquyen1993 to install the OTA of Marshmallow 6.0 (https://htchtv31.wordpress.com/2016...hat-android-6-0-1-dai-loan-cho-htc-b3-htv-31/).

I think this only happened because you went from a KDDI ROM to a Taiwan one (which wouldn't work with the wrong CID).
I went from an older KDDI ROM to this one and I didn't need to do anything but the confirmation after download mode.
As for the SD Card, I didn't need to do anything either. I had it formated in exFAT and it just worked.

These are here with BIG thanks to mrquyen1993 who sent them to me because the link from the Q&A video is unreliable to the rest of the world!
Fully fixed version will be uploaded in a few hours

So sorry mate, the link died after I lost my HTV31 three years ago and I don't have any of the files anymore
