I'm somewhat of a noob at this - this is my first HTC, so I had no idea what S-Off or unlocked bootloader meant. With my Samsung, rooting and installing a custom recovery involved a one-click method, so I never had to learn all the ins and outs of this stuff. With this DNA, I used the revone method (since the phone was purchased with 2.06 firmware already installed), so I still didn't need to learn much.
Anyway, I recently tried to go back to stock. I figured that would involve an RUU, going back to S-On, and locking the bootloader. So I first (yes, before performing the RUU like a dodo) used revone to go back to S-On, then found something saying I needed to execute "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3", so I did that, and now I am stuck at fastboot. I don't have access to CWM recovery, and if I try to boot beyond fastboot it hangs on the initial HTC screen.
Without being able to use ADB since it doesn't boot that far, I can't go back to S-Off via revone. I can't flash anything that I have been able to find so far via fastboot because it fails at signature verification. And I can't use the RUU that I found because it is firmware 1.15 and it won't allow me to install on top of 2.06.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Is there a way to get to S-Off through fastboot? Is there an RUU for the 2.06 firmware? I have spent a few days searching and the answer to both seems to be no...
UPDATE: I grabbed the Rom.zip out of the 1.15 RUU and tried flashing that via fastboot (in RUU mode). I got the following message:

I assume this has something to do with the firmware version difference (1.15 vs. 2.06). But I was very excited to see a signature check be successful for once.
I should note that the ROM I was running when doing this was Newt's NOS m7 v 3.0.6
When selecting recovery from the fastboot menu, it does nothing?
If that's a yes... You need s-off again.

It doesn't do nothing per se, it shows a screen that I'm not used to with a red triangle and exclamation point on top of a picture of a phone with a blue background. I assume this is the recovery screen from the factory, not the CWM recovery I had installed previously.
Is there a way to get s-off without ADB (only using fastboot)?

I successfully flashed the firmware zip from the moonshine thread, but the phone still will not boot past fastboot. I assume since the instructions for moonshine require the phone to be booted to android, this option will not work for me.

I've been thinking about this. Why did the firmware zip from Moonshine pass signature inspection? Was it signed? Could that same signature be placed on a rom or some other zip that installs a recovery or even somehow performs s-off? I know I am not very well experienced with android development, so I'm probably talking out of my ass.
I recently flashed the RUU from fastboot.

Then your pretty much out of luck. Need to exchange it or possibly do a jtag. Does your phone say tampered/relocked? If so then I'd guess Jtag is the only solution.
Unfortunately the guide you used to go back to stock was pretty dumb in telling you make your phone s-on again. It isn't needed especially if it was just so you could do a clean install and flash other roms.
I was in your situation, but I was lucky enough to have unlocked my phone using htcdev when Jcase released his original unlock method. If the super cid method still works. I would unlock my bootloader the super cid method and not even bother with moonshine. That way you end up with a unlock token and wouldn't get stuck in this situation.

Nothing was wrong with the guide. He didn't follow it correctly as he did s-on using revone.
Flashing the firmware zip should allow you to boot up and run moonshine. Are you sure it flashed correctly.

Correct, the guide was not at fault here, I am just an idiot. Here are the results of flashing the dna2.06firmware.zip file from the moonshine thread: http://pastebin.com/GkgdGt19
Following what is shown at this link, I executed "fastboot reboot-bootloader", selected "Power Down", and then tried to turn the phone on again. I got the same result as always (stuck on the initial HTC quietly brilliant screen - not the bootanimation screen).
Spoke with beaups on IRC. I was running a 4.2 rom that will not run on the stock kernel. Since the only thing I can flash is the signed stock kernel because I am s-on, the only remaining option is to run a 2.06 RUU. However, the 2.06 RUU has not been leaked to anyone's knowledge. So I will have to send off for jtag in order to get s-off, then flash whatever - RUU, custom ROM, what-have-you.
Thanks all for trying to help. I will hang on to it for a while if anyone has any other thoughts or suggestions.

I successfully unlocked my phone, installed TWRP and attempted to flash a new ROM. Some how I messed up by wiping out system file without backup, and I failed to flash a new ROM either.
So I flashed my phone with RUU latest version (hboot 1.19, radio 1.12.) Now on the bootloader screen it says RELOCKED on top.
When I tried to unlock (normal HTC Dev method) the terminal gave "unlock token checked successfully OKAY", and the unlock confirmation screen showed up normally.
But after rebooting, it turns out my phone is still "RELOCKED." Is there any reason why it doesn't work? And how to reunlock it successfully?
Did you submit the unlock token to htc website so that you can be given the unlock_code.bin file to flash?

You could try downgrading to hboot 1.12 to get s-off...then it won't matter if you're unlocked or not. The process is still pretty new and not for the faint of heart (yet), but seems to be verified working. Check the downgrade sticky thread in the original dev forum for more details.

I would have mentioned it if closeone had a release ready but it's still a bit off. Better to wait then to have someone following directions to purposely brick their phones

I believe downgrading method requires an unlocked phone, since it needs twrp for adb commands?
Yes it does, I didn't even remember that lol. I just didn't mention it because right now the overall process is rough
I think the unlock process modified the boot section, and looks like mine is a bit messed up. If so, would 'fastboot flash boot <bootfile>' work? (I don't know where to find it yet, just an another thought.)

Sent from my EVO LTE
any resolution to this? i find myself in the same situation
The issue
If you flash new 3.15.651.16 JellyBean RUU and it only updates hboot to 2.09, phone might end-up in semi-bricked state.
RUU refuses to flash any other partition (even if bootloader is in locked/relocked state) so its impossible to return phone to stock rom.
Error message from fastboot flash zip is;
Code:
fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
sending 'zip' (659905 KB)... OKAY
writing 'zip'... INFOadopting the signature contained in this image...
INFOsignature checking...
INFOrom parsing start ...
INFOrom parsing finish ...
INFOzip header checking...
INFOzip info parsing...
FAILED (remote: 22 loading zip info fail)
What is causing this
Hboot fails to read ruu-info from new encrypted zip after hboot-preupdate and stops flashing process.
Solution
Solution is to flash firmware.zip from JellyBean OTA. Firmware.zip is "old style" zip file, hboot can open this zip and update radio and sbls.
Fix
- Download JB OTA firmware from http://unlimited.io/jewel.htm
- Download fastboot executable (google)
- Put all files in one directory
- Reboot phone into fastboot mode
- Make sure that bootloader is Locked or Relocked. If bootloader is Unlocked, relock it with command fastboot oem lock
- Enter commands
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash zip jewel_jb_ota_firmware.zip
NOTE:
If you see FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately) text after running fastboot flash zip command you have to run fastboot flash zip command again.
After this flash stock RUU again.
Permanent fix
- S-OFF your phone. With S-OFF phone you can always flash decrypted, unsigned and/or older RUU and get phone working again easily. :good:
Please report any success / failures into this thread. Also tell little bit information about your device, like;
- What hboot you had
- Was radio flashed through recovery
- Was hboot downgraded
- CID

I ran this... Worked to a T. Debating whether or not to s-off...
But, this did in fact update my radios..
Phenomenal. Just to be clear with what I did...
Ran Fuses instructions. Then I did the RUU GUI update in Windows... back to stock, Tampered in bootloader removed. Testing the stock radios and what not, but so far it's perfect.
*** Phone has to be RELOCKED****
I am not sure if I am successful or not right now. Phone is showing HTC black screen with green bar below it. The green bar is not ALL the way across, looks like 95% after running the commands. Not sure what to do so I issued "fastboot reboot"
Phone looks to be in bootloop so I got back into HBOOT.
First I relocked the phone. Rebooted. Then Rebooted into fastboot.
Then ran commands, screen shots are attached.
Seeing this message after running commands:
FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)
Changes noticed in Bootloader:
My RADIO updated from 1.02.12.0427 to 1.12.11.1119
OpenDSP updated from OpenDSP-v25.1.0.32.0405 to OpenDSPv31.1.0.45.0815
Update:
Put the phone into fastboot and then ran the windows Jellybean RUU. Looked like the RUU got about 98% thru and then gave me a USB error. Then the phone rebooted and it looks like everything updated. Phone is booting into JellyBean. Should I retry installing the RUU?

I purchased a EVO 4G LTE for my sister a little while back and recently she had her boyfriend attempt to root it for her, and since I'm here it obviously didn't go over all too well. All he said he did was follow a video (which he gave me) on how to root for the newer software version. "Something happened and it didn't work so I watched another video and tried that" The phone is currently unlocked with S-ON and he flashed a working version of TWRP and cm10 couldn't figure it out and here we are. help please. Rooted using Linux. i did some reading and found out i had to flash the boot.img through fastboot. it just hangs at <waiting for device> in the terminal.

I'm guessing it's on the latest firmware (3.16)? That update breaks the touch panel on all non-3.16 roms (which would include cm)...the only way to downgrade is to flash the tp.img from the previous firmware (3.15), which requires s-off. I would recommend going that route as it makes things a lot easier. For example, once you're s-off you won't have to fastboot flash kernels anymore. Check out the dirty racun thread in Original Development for more info. If you decide to s-off, you can flash the old tp.img zip from the 3.15 firmware to get the touch panel working for cm:

Otherwise, if you don't want to go s-off then you'll need to flash a sense Rom that's using the 3.16 base (which I think most if not all are now). I recommend Viper4g, runs great and has tons of tweaks like cm.

Boot into bootloader and check the radio. If its 1.12.11.1210 then he took the 3.16 OTA and your only choices are what premo15 said.

I don't know if you can just install TWRP again or if you'll have to go through the HTCdev unlock again. You'll need the Unlock_code.bin for the Dirtyracun process anyway so you might as well get it again.

^^^^ true
I don't know if this will work since you've already tried dirtyracun; but I just used this method to achieve s off. It's ridiculously easy, and took me 5 minutes..

alright, some progress, got my unlock from HTCDEV got the unlock token, restarted the whole S-OFF process over,got through the ruu.zip. it installed, It rebooted itself instead of allowing me to "sudo ./fastboot reboot bootloader." It booted to a stock rom (which is now 3.15), I was in shock that I had her phone working again. restarted to bootloader, noticed it was locked and s-on went back to the directions and had me unlock through the unlock_token and finall had me run "sudo ./RabiesShot...which is giving me errors.
Starting up...

Test 1: Rebooting into bootloader
Waiting fastboot (18/60)

After this error I rebooted into bootloader and im S-ON with unlocked. can i jump right into s-off'ing it

Yeah, you should be able to run rabies shot again. Did you enable USB Debugging befor trying to run rabies shot? And are you running linux 32-bit?

My phone was acting buggy with the radios and had HUGE performance issues. To be frank, i think a SNAIL was faster than this phone at the time... I am S-OFF, unlocked and i cannot flash recovery.
I get this output and error:
Code:
sending 'recovery' (8516 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.087s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: image error! (BootMagic check fail))
finished. total time: 1.129s
here is the current HBOOT Config and display:
Code:
FIREBALL PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-VZW__001
HBOOT-1.15.0000
OpenDSP-29.1.0.45.622
eMMC-boot
Just for good measure i re-wrote the CID to 11111111 and locked and unlocked the bootloader again to no avail, thinking it was possibly that being unlocked during an RUU. The thing is, while unlocked, the RUU still processed... Oh and the phone boots up fully. i have ZERO issues with actually using the phone, but i cant believe i am stuck on a stock rom and not allowed to flash a custom recovery... >_>
Other thing... just to see if this would help, i used junkmail9's ENG HBOOT with the RegawMOD Customizer to flash the ENG hboot to try my luck. STILL no good. i can flash hboot directly, and whatever else, but is recovery just stuck??
i really want to be free again, so can someone please explain to me why after an RUU even WHILE S-OFF and unlocked, that i cannot flash recovery?

You did not mention either the recovery image you tried to flash, nor the command you used to try and flash it. There's no point in messing with bootloader lock/unlock if you're s-off. Just leave it alone.
my apologies... well basically, i cannot flash any custom recovery for this phone. CWM 6.0.3.1 which i had before the restore, and i just tried the philZ Touch 5 recovery which is basically the same thing as CWM... for some reason, the recovery partition became locked after the restore despite being s-off. i remember this error before while s-on and locked when I used to have the Wildfire S.

i wasnt flashing the IMG file like i should have been.
similiar issue
hello users of the almighty xda!
I have obtained s-off using dirtyracun and flashed between team venoms viper rom and cyanogenmod10.1 multiple times
this last time I tried to flash back to viper2.2.0 from cyanogenmod because of the problems with the m2 snapshot I wiped everything as usual including cache,data, and even a factory reset and installed the viper rom and said everything was good to go and now the phone wont boot past the htc screen
so I figured i'd reflash the viper boot.img to see if that would help and doesn't
not only will it not boot but when I go to the bootloader and try to enter recovery it flashes and I see the clockwork mod symbol and then it boot loops back to the htc logo endlessly
wtf! ugg! any ideas oh great xda users?
p.s im also under the impression that because im s-off I cant RUU back to stock is this the case?

This is not true. You may at any time run the RUU to restore borked programming. Besides, the dirtyracun method of flashing s-off is risky to say the least. I used facepalm s-off and it was stupid easy. Anyhow, run the RUU and then immediately run a factory reset. The RUU formats and repairs all partitions on the device and the factory reset restores the radio and baseband as described by mdmower.
Sent from my ADR6410LVW using xda app-developers app
Do the following to prepare for RUU-
Run these commands in order:
fastboot oem resetRUUflag (wait for reload)
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash zip name_of_file.zip
Alternatively, you can run the automated HTC RUU utility, but it often fails vs. A manual reflash.

ignore please, came late and didnt notice
gonna try it
thanks for the response. I agree the dirtyracun method is pretty risky, but at the time I think it was the only s-off method I could find
well I will ruu then
thanks for the detailed fastboot commands and such
I don't have to relock the bootloader do I?
Hello Everyone,
I know this probably isn't the best place to post this question. I'm limited to not posting in the dev section.
I'm going to post my question and hope someone can help anyway.
I have an HTC One (M7) that seemed to have reception problems. I always thought I just needed to flash a new radio. So I went ahead and S-OFF'd my phone as well as Super CID. I then flashed a new radio & my reception problem seemed to go away. (or so i thought).
I then went ahead and turned my AT&T One into a Google Edition.
I have noticed that my reception problems never really went away. (When I am at home I have full bars. The conversation starts out fine, but about 10 seconds in, the person at the other end can no longer hear me.)
I now suspect this is a problem with the antenna & I have to get my phone back to stock so that I can hopefully switch out for a new one.
I'm just wondering which step I should do first. S-On again (I used REVONE to S-OFF) , CID back to AT&T, or switch back from the GE rom?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Dan

If I were returning my phone to Stock, this is the process I would use
Change CID to Stock fastboot oem writecid CWS__001
Run the latest RUU for my phone
then use Revone to lock the bootloader and s-on
I think that's the correct order .. if anyone knows different please chime in

I guess I spoke too soon. After completion, I realized that TWRP was still installed, so I flashed the stock recovery. At this point everything seemed fine, but I noticed that the supersu icon was still there. I also noticed that wifi will no longer turn on. Clearly I've done something wrong.
The first time I had used a nandroid backup to restore to stock, then lock, s-on, remove tampered. That is when I realized TWRP was still installed and SuperSu was still there.
This is when I downloaded an RUU that matched my phone, but it errors saying something like "wrong boot version" (I'm not near my home pc to look)
I tried the process again & somehow SuperSu lost binaries. So I unlocked my bootloader again through HTCDev.com This gave me working SuperSu again. And this is where I am stuck.
I wonder if the GE rom changed something so that this process wont work?

here is how you extract rom.zip:
Quote:
the .exe utilities can be finicky,so if you have trouble getting it to run, you can extract "rom.zip" in the following manner:
-start the utility
-check the "i understand" box to move on to the next screen
-hide the utility temporarily out of site
-search your C drive for "rom.zip". you will find it in a temporary location(it will be in a different spot each time you run the utility)
-open the folder location,and transfer rom.zip to a safe location on your PC.
-unhide and cancel the utility,youre done with it.
-rom.zip can be flashed using
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
fastboot flash zip rom.zip (yes do this 2 times)
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
here are some directions to flash "rom.zip"
if youre working with a booted,operational phone,you can flsh the file in the following manner:
-open a cmd window
-change to adb/fastboot directory
cd c:\foldername
(cd c:\mini-adb if youve used any of my guides )
-place the zip file you want to flash into adb/fastboot directory
-enable usb debug,disable fastboot,plug in phone
-check for connectivity
adb devices (should return serial number)
-boot to fastboot
adb reboot bootloader
-check for connectivity again
fastboot devices
-flash the file
fastboot erase cache
fastboto oem rebootRUU (will put you in ruu mode,black screen silver htc letters)
fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip (will send and flash the file. dont interupt it while the cmd window shows its writinging,and the green status bar is moving on the phone screen)
*sometimes a file will fail with a pre-update error. this is normal,just enter again:
fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip
and this time it will finish
-when you get "finished" and "OK"
fastboot reboot-bootloader (takes you back to fastboot)
-reboot back to the OS
fastbooot reboot
you can use this if you dont have an operational phone as well. you just need to manually put the phone in fastboot(select from hboot menu) then skip the "adb" commands and start with fastboot devices
to answer your other question,yes,you will need to re-unlock and re-install recovery after running the RUU. an ruu is designed as an "unroot" solution, or emergency fix,if other attempts have not made the phone operational.

change your CID back to 11111111 and try again
Did you change you MID ?
What is the name of the RUU your using ?
My mid is PN0712000. I think that was always my mid. Don't recall changing it.
My cid is currently CW__001
I've tried: RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular_1.26.502.12.exe
also tried: RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular_US_1.26.502.15_Radio_4A.17.3250.20_10.40.1150.04_release_326691_signed_2.exe
I'm currently S-On (could that be an issue?)
I'm unlocked.

It worked once I set CID to 11111111 !!
So now I just have to change CID back, reverse S-Off again and change the unlocked and tampered flags?
Yep that should do it
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
It did! I'm completely back to stock. I decided to update to the latest RUU that AT&T has released. Just to avoid AT&T wanting me to update to see if it fixes the problem. I know for a fact that it wouldn't fix the problem anyway.
Oddly, my phone told me I was up to date while on the .12 RUU even though I knew the .15 RUU exists. I downloaded the RUU for .15 and it ran fine once I went back to stock after running the .12 rom.zip.
In summary, you saved me from a huge headache! Thanks so much for all the help & kindness.
