[Q] [Q-Flyer] Regain S-ON | Uninstall Revolutionary | Back to stock - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Hi,
Device: Flyer Wifi 16gb
HBOOT: 6.11.1111
Revolutionary S-OFF
No Root (apparently by Root Checker Basic)
3.2.1 RUU
i followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19339909&postcount=1
to regain S-ON and standard recovery. Unfortunately it didnt work, I installed the RUU, it boots and works fine but if I send the devices to bootloader via ADB it lands back in Revolutionary. The guide was completed without errors.
So I am currently on RUU but with S-OFF and Revolutionary and I would like to get S-ON and standard recovery.
I found several other guides, but I cant see what puts them above the mentioned one and therefore I prefer to ask...
Thank you very much in advance for any help,
P32r

and that holds for everything I found.
Somebody said I could just use fastboot and send "fastboot oem lock" for the lock and RUU afterwards. But am I right that HBOOT is not replaced by RUU at all? Do I have to downgrade first?

the RUU flash will not write over a S Off Hboot. the procedure you listed in the OP is the only one I know of that will do what you want. Are you sure that when you:
fastboot flash hboot flyer_downgrader.nb0
it was successful?

Thank you for your help!
I attached the output of fastboot and I actually dont think that it flashes correctly but all I saw is "OKAY" and "finished"...
Is the screen supposed to show anything during this flash? Because it stays just the way it is and shows no change in HBOOT or any part of the fastboot screen.
After rebooting it says "HBOOT-6.10.1005" but revolutionary still.

Great Success!
Got it! Works with RUU
RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_Wifi_1.36.1114.32_Radio_20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_191235_signed
and NOT with the one I used. With this RUU I did the exact same procedure and succeeded. Now on stock recovery, S-ON and 1.10.0000!
Thank you for the guide, it really does work

As I understand from your post, you were S-ON on GB, ran OTA, and were on S-ON HC, right ?
HAVE YOU TRIED THIS THREAD FIRST ?

put it in fastboot mode and run the RUU again.
from fastboot
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Run stock ruu (only if you have the exe)
do you have the ruu.exe or just the zip?
if its just the zip make sure you run cmd with administrator rights and make sure the ruu zip is in the directory where your fastboot resides. on a windows 7 box (Program Files (x84)/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools)
then:
fastboot flash zip ruu_zip_name.zip
Good luck

This should work for you, I had similar issues, and had to run fastboot commands to get it loaded right. This is the best explanation I've seen, should be added somewhere in the pinned docs.
Also you may have another option.
hboot 1.10.0000 is a stock hboot for the BB wifi flyer.
From fastboot you should be able to run revolutionary to gain s-off irregardless of your rom state. after you have s-off its just a matter of do you want HC or GB.
You can always relock the bootloader once you have a working rom again.
I have the HC s-off ruu. its buried in a thread somewhere but i'd be happy to host it somewhere so you could download it.

None of that is correct.
Is it just me or is the last post from the person with the issue from March 6th?

Recovery Problem

Thanks for taking the time. I've been working at fixing this for hours now, and to no avail. I was following the instructions found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808332&highlight=reboot) ...but the short of it was I was upgrading my Hboot so that I could flash a JB ROM. Here's where the problem is, I have no recovery. When I try to access my 4EXT from fastboot, it shows a picture of a phone lying down with the app update symbol (an arrow pointing down with two or three, cant remember right now, around it) over it. Then after a short while it is replaced by a picture of a phone with an exclamation in a triangle. When I try to load a new recovery with SDK it says FAILED (remote: not allowed). I also tried loading back to Hboot 1.50, still nothing. If it matters, my phone came with 1.50.
I greatly appreciate any advice. Here's my current setup.
CDMA Evo 3d
Hboot 1.58 locked S-OFF
Radio 1.09.00.0706
Software 2.89.651.2 710RD
I would download the zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438
Then lock the bootloader in fastboot using fastboot oem lock. Run the ruu.exe to put your phone at stock (you'll still be s-off). Hopefully phone will boot.
You would then flash whichever hboot and recovery you want and flash a ROM.
No worries, all the stock hboots (if not unlocked using htcdev) won't allow you to use fast boot to flash recovery/boot partition even though you are s-off.
You can use a custom hboot like revolutionary / juopunutbears / eng hboot to use those commands. To flash another hboot, and just download the respective PG86IMG.zip and put it on the root of sdcard.
OR
If you current ROM is rooted, go to 4ext.net and download the free version and use it to install 4ext recovery on your phone or use flash image gui by joeykrim to flash recovery.
Those two apps will work on any hboot but your ROM should be rooted.
Hope this helps...
How did I know Coal would come to my rescue. Well after more work, and your great advice, I got it working again. The trick was I needed a JBear Hboot zip. Thanks again Coal, you are a legend.
Edit: Thanks mnomaanw, we posted that at the same time hahaha.

[Q] htc evo 3d gsm boot loop

Hello all,
I'm Beginner with htc, i have problem with boot loop, i have done lot of search in the internet and i applied many procedures but i couldn't resolve the problem.
My phone is :
HTC EVO 3D GSM
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.53.0007
RADIO-11.25.3504.06_M
OpenDSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.02.02
eMMC-boot
Can i have your helps please?
Thank you very much
Best regards,
On hboot 1.53 s-on you can only flash sense based roms. This means ics only, no jelly bean, because jb is based on cyanogenmod. If you have 4ext recovery, go into it, and in the Tools section, activate Smartflash. That way you will not have any more boot loops on ics sense roms, but the rest are still unavailable to you... i suggest you revert to stock ruu, go to unlimited.io and get s-off, then downgrade hboot to 1.49, for everything to work. There are a lot of tutorials around here for that

thank you for your replays,
my phone is unloked, i don't know each rom or ruu i can use i downloaded a lot of rom and ice, i had installed them by 4rex and fasboot but doesn't work.
I can't switch my phone to s-off.
thank you very much for all helps,
best regrades,
I really suggest you to S-OFF and for that, here's a small tutorial: Go to 4EXT, Wipe everything except SD Card. Then reboot into bootloader. In bootloader click the power button to activate fastboot and connect your phone to pc. In a command prompt, while the phone is connected (in hboot fastboot, very important) write "fastboot oem lock". After you have done so, find the RUU file to fit your phone (http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Shooter search for the one to fit your radios). After the ruu has completed, root your phone again, and then get S-OFF from unlimited.io. Then everything will work nicely

I think you can enter the fastboot mode in the phone, connect it to your pc, use "fastboot oem readcid", the cid can tell what ruu to choose.

[Q] Evo 3D that hates me!!! ROOT s-OFF and unlock bootloader cant select yes
Hi all, im a newbie to android rooting etc, so please be patient if I dont understand... XD
I will try to give a backround with a very detailed discription for those who might have the same problem, a similar problem or for those trying to help...
so I bought this beast in Feb with stock software on: this was my 1st root, s-off attempt :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130585
1st attempt quote from post
Hi there,
Developers, gonna be developers and android noobs
I got a small issue with mu EVO 3d GSM...
Firstly Id like to apologize if this has been asked...
Problem: I need to get past BOOTLOADER BLOCK !!!
Before you carry on reading -
Bought this phone online, from China, Original HTC!!! but with 1 or 2 chinese apps installed, Android 2.3.4...
This was standard when I first entered bootloader (out of the box)
***LOCKED***
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
HBOOT-1.49.0012
RADIO-10.13.9020.08_2M
eMMC-boot
What is suprising is it needed to say Locked and s-on...
So I wanted to root and s-off...
Tried Revolutionary... Everything ran well, after 2nd reboot into bootloader, error - Communications between phone and PC has been interrupted
After that I retried and it said - 'Your device is already s-off' then it wanted to download and install CWM Recovery 4.0.142 Revolutionary...
HTCDEV - Step 13 didnt happen, it just stayed on the normal bootloader screen (in Fastboot USB)
Flashed a earlier version of HBOOT (1.49.007) before Revolutionary ROOT method(revolutionary didnt support HBOOT 1.49.0012), i noticed everytime i 'completed' revolutionary method with error, my HBOOT changed to 1.49.1107 for some reason, IDK
Now my bootloader setup is:
***Revolutionary***
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
HBOOT-1.49.1107
RADIO-10.13.9020.08_2M
eMMC-boot
In CWM Recovery - I flashed SU.zip, it removed /bin and /xbin, and wanted to start copying or rooting file and then showed an error msg 'installation aborted', booted into ROM and SU app requested SU access???
BTW... downloaded and tried 3 RUU's all 3 for 3d of course and all 3 gave the same error - MODEL ID ERROR (i need the correct model) and in fastboot...
Use same Rev code : fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlcok_code.bin
Half the time it is done successfully but with no disclaimer screen (stays on fastboot) and changes hboot to 1107
OR
Gives error (Remote : Partition no avaiblable) or (Remote : not allowed)
Try fastboot oem lock, Doesnt lock and same result as mentioned above and every now and then it says loading custom splash sceen failed, htc disclaimer screen???
If anyone has had this problem or similar, please help, I would really appreciate it
Thnks in advance!!!
END
Now, Ive got a similar problem,
HBoot
1.58.5858 Jpbear
Unlocked
So I flashed the RUU_Shooter_U_TWM_TW_1.23.921.5_Radio_10.55.9020.00_10.13.9020.29_M_release_207920_signed.exe, it was the closest I could find with HBoot 1.49.0012 and gb 2.3.4...
Okay, np it flashed it with no problems... but little did I know, I lost root, bootloader relocked with disclaimer screen and lost s-off... Im buggered
So after messing around including almost bricking my phone, flashing new hboots, trying htcdev unlock with rogers, EMEA and sprint, no luck...
The only result is it showing the disclaimer screen (as mentioned in 1st boot attempt) that i cant select yes...
I tried flashing recovery, however when I flash recovery, it either hangs with HTC screen for a min or two then reboots or just hangs there forever...
Somewhere along the line I tried booting into Android and it jut boot in fastboot, for some unknown reason it also didnt pickup the PG86IMG.zip file I had on, it actually didnt pickup and PG86IMG files???
I also came across writesecureflag 3 in fastboot, gave it a try and it gave me a ***security warning***...
After that, I coud flash a PG86IMG but when I tried the htcdev unlock, I select ye, no response, removed battery and it said ***unlocked***, but when I flash a recovery, it flashes recovery in cmd but cant boot into it or it just doesnt flash onto the phone???
Somehow in between all of this I could get past the "yes" in unlock bootloader which was pure luck of the joy of the moment made me forget what I did before, I also tried flashing these RUU's
RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed
RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_Rogers_WWE_3.28.631.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262715_signed(1)
RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.28.707.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_264110_signed
When booted in TWN-TW RUU, I could install Rom manager and flash CWM through that but through fastboot, it didnt boot through it
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img
RESULT: hangs on htc screen for a min or 2 then reboot into OS
Now im currrently on Asia ICS, hboot jbear 1.58.5858, htc recovery...
And in want of root, s-off, and most important able to Unlock Bootloader by selecting yes with a response,
please ANY help would be of use
thnx in advance
Its not much but will have a small paypal reward for those who helped (btw it will prob help others aswel)
[TAGS] : root issue, s-off problem, unlock bootloader cant select yes, evo 3d hboot not detecting PG86IMG, evo 3d bootloop
wow, you got a used or refurbished 3d which was already s-off. if you had posted before doing anything ,all you needed to do was flash a recovery and flash su zip. When you have s-off with custom hboot, like you had, you cannot unlock through htcdev and you don't have to. S-off with custom hboot means you can already flash any hboot ,recovery,Rom ,kernel or any mods.
You never needed HTC dev unlock.
you said.you are s-on with jbear.hboot? I.don't think.that's possible ,.check again if it's s-off or s-on . If it's s-on then it cannot be jbear.
You never lost s-off when you ran the RUU, you lost s-off by running the write secureflag command . It was your luck you were on stock.hboot , if you were on custom one,your evo 3d was dead for sure. Now flash the RUU that is made for your phone. then follow instructions from unlimited.io or ramjet73's thread , flash recovery then su zip. If you want another Rom you can directly flash that Rom without su.
Again, you never needed the htcdev. But now you will need it for the wire trick.
Thnx for responding, u made my day xD

So, okay, I messed around abit more, not as if I could do any further damage besides bricking LOL
So this is my position and will leave it till next response...
***Relocked*** (can unlock, relock np because of s-on, if s-off, I cant, it just hangs after selecting yes, no response)
HBoot 1.49.0012
I have fastboot and OS access,
cant flash recovery or zip, etc, can change cid
Hboot doesnt read PG86IMG.zip files at all,
Goes through PG86... list, hangs 2 sec on PG86IMG.zip, says checking or parsing PG86IMG.zip for less than a sec then 'cancels', goes to hboot screen
Rev tool does not work
1st attempt - (1st line)Zerging root...
result- Cannot aquire root
for 2nd consecutive to 3,4,5,etc attempt
- goes to 2nd line in rev tool,
result gives error Communications with phone stopped,
When flashing recovery, it flashes perfectly, when fastboot boot recovery.img or hboot>recovery, hangs for a while then reboots
So flashing files through fastboot is a no go (generally gives error > remote:not allowed)
Thus conclusion, im considering the downgrade/unbrick method but It doesnt pickup and PG86IMG files (check exact speeling p.s. have done this alot)
I did a day ago aquire root, 4ext recovery but wanted unlock boot loader, so s-on, the only way to unlock, then got myself to this delema, stupid I know :silly:
So if you have any tricks up your sleeve, let me know please and thnx

[Q] Error 131 on RUU Flash after HBOOT Downgrade

I recently bought my new Evo 3D from eBay. As far as I can tell, it is in perfect shape. I was hoping to flash it to Page Plus and was dismayed when I realized how impossible the rooting process looked. I began with downgrading my 1.58 HBOOT to 1.40. Now I am attempting to flash the 1.13 RUU so I can finally move on in this process, but every time I attempt to flash it (or any other RUU), I get the error, "Error [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR." Now most fastboot commands do not work, and my phone bootloops with the stock ROM. Any idea how to fix it?
I used the juopunut bear wire trick for s-off so excuse me if I'm a little ignorant here with the downgrade method. Once you are down to hboot 1.40 (which sounds like you were successful with) can't you use the revolutionary s-off tool?
Once s-off you can easily run any ruu but I guess I don't understand why you need to downgrade even further to s-off, when revolutionary (I thought) works with hboot 1.40 and 1.30

As I understand I can't use Revolutionary without booting into Android (since it needs ADB), which is currently impossible because of the bootloop.
I should also point out that HTCDev unlock fails for me. On hboot 1.58 the fastboot commands are successful, but I am never presented with the unlock dialog on the phone. On hboot 1.4 most fastboot commands fail. Also, I can easily restore to stock by flashing a PG86IMG which includes hboot 1.58.

So far, in every case I've seen, running the latest RUU has solved the bootloader unlock issue for people. I would run the 1.58 RUU and see if you can unlock the bootloader. Then go from there.
Or as I saw mentioned in the other thread, use the PG86IMG version of the RUU or extract it yourself from the exe. Flashing through the bootloader does not perform a cid check.

So far, I have yet to have any success despite flashing many RUUs. I took a break for quite a while, but decided I may try again. I am downloading now the 2.08 RUU, which one thread suggested.

If I remember correctly, the HTCDev unlock doesnt work for the earlier bootloaders. It says so on the very first page when its walking you through the steps. I could be wrong but you may wanna keep that in mind
