You cannot downgrade with S-on, flash the MR1
Try to dl the ruu again on your computer. Check the md5sum after its done. Pull the SD card from your phone and user a card reader to put the new file on it (delete the old first obviously) then try again

You should always make sure the checksums match before flashing anything sensitive to your phone.
Did no one read what i said? Im pretty sure you cant downgrade with S-ON.. correct me if im wrong

What rom were u on? Are you rooted? What did u do to get stuck in hboot? Did you ever try to get s off?

Hey I had a similar issue with my phone, first question does it give you a error on the Hboot screen saying security error? secondly it sounds like and correct me if I am wrong but it sounds like you probably had root and then used a full signed ruu to downgrade and if you did thats why your stuck at the moment. If that is what you did I am pretty sure you can recover from that so not all is lost. I am unclear on the exact steps your going to need to do to recover because the issue like the previous post says is that you cannot downgrade and if you flashed the mr1 ruu there is no newer version to flash to that is actually signed. Your next step is to go to the forum for thunderbolts in the general section and find the live chat (should be the first sticky), you want to talk to either Jcase or Adrenaline as they are best prepared with the knowledge to recover your device. I hope this helps at least get you pointed in the right direction.

That's exactly what I did. I am getting a pink "security warning" on the Hboot screen as well.
To recap...I was running Tesla 1.7 upgraded to GB then tried downgrading by doing a complete reversion, using the MR1 custom ruu (like in the sticky)...that's where I got stuck. thanks for the help.

Hi everyone,
I've found the information in these forums to be very helpful and have never posted on anything before, but I have a question that I'm not finding a good answer for.
I successfully unlocked my bootloader and rooted last night and am now running scrosler's CleanROM. However I want to return to stock using the RUU from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338916
When I run the RUU I am getting stuck at the HTC recovery screen, and the windows installer tells me that the RUU is not compatible. I tried extracting the rom.zip, renamed it to PH98IMG.zip, copied it to the SDcard and load it in HBOOT, but it won't work either.
Any ideas? I mainly just want to make sure I have a working method to return to stock just in case I accidentally brick the phone at some point, but otherwise I'm good for now.

Here's a more specific account of what happens when I run the RUU.
I get the progress bar that says "Sending......." but then after a few seconds I get the following error:
Error [155] unknown error
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again
I've spent the last hour Googling this error and have found that it is a known error with other HTC devices but can't find any info on the Rezound.

I get the little progress bar in the upper right corner of HBOOT that shows it is reading the file, however it doesn't present me with the option to flash it. Instead it just skips to the HBOOT menu.

Interesting, I wonder if anyone has ran it this ruu successfully
Solved
Figured it out. On a hunch I re-locked the bootloader and tried running the RUU using the Windows installer and it worked. It must be some sort of security check thing. I'll just unlock the bootloader again after it's done flashing. It might be good for someone with more seniority on the forum to make this information more visible in case anyone else runs into this issue.

Any idea on how to get the phone to relock if "fastboot oem lock" goes to "waiting for device" without responding?
I'm in a similar situation, but I cannot seem to get my phone to relock.
Nevermind. I forgot to get into bootloader mode via adb.

Hello everyone.
Long story short I got a droid razr and my mom got my thunderbolt. For ease of use I want to unroot it for her.
I looked at the stickies and saw there wasnt a method to unroot for my situation.
My phone was rooted with the old auto root method from back in march of 2011. So how do I unroot now?
Thanks.

Towards the bottom of the OP there are two RUU's that you need flash separately in hboot. Flash the first file first or you will run into issues. Also rename each file to PG05IMG.zip.
The first file
(PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.9.zip) will unroot the phone.
The second file (PG05IMG_hboot_ONLY_2.11.605.9.zip) is to get s-on.
Lol I'm confused all of a sudden. S-On is non-root and S-off is root right?
Okay, thanks Classic, I'll just flash the zips nowetdio gave me.
Nowet, I have two questions on that.
1. There's nothing I have to do before flashing those two right?
2. In case something goes wrong can I backup into root?

ok thanks so much
Worked like a charm thanks guys.
Good to hear
Tapatalkn with my T-Bolt
For future reference a nandroid will NOT help you if you are flashing from hboot. Anytime you are going to flash anything from hboot always always check the md5 or risk a brick. If who ever you download the file from hasn't supplied an md5 do yourself a favor and ask for one. Flashing a bad radio file or hboot file is the EASIEST way to make an expensive paper weight. This brick is not the kind that you can recover from by using a nandroid. The average person will not be able unbrick your paper weight.

This is my first post so sorry if what I ask is stupid or something. I have searched everywhere and cannot find anything that is current enough to help me. I have hboot 1.19 and my software version is 2.13.651.1 710RD. I'm unlocked, rooted and also have TWRP recovery and I'm s-on. When I rooted my phone it also gave me SuperSU. I'm super lost now because I can't flash any ROMs to my phone. I've tried the charmeleon ROM and also the tranquility ROM but when TWRP is at the end of the Installing process it says that it failed and that there is no md5 or something like that.
what am I doing wrong?

Just disable MD5 check in TWRP, that should fix it. You do want to verify your MD5 matches in something like ES File Explorer. If you don't that will cause many other problems.

Well yes but the Rom will still install without errors. Go to the TeamWin website and download it from there. Grab the zip and rename it and place it on your external sd and boot to bootloader. It will install and then reboot but if you don't have a working Rom remove the sd afterward otherwise you can get stuck in a loop. Do not place it on internal if you don't have a working Rom. The other ways to install would be to use goo manager to install or flash the recovery in fastboot

Alright i'll give this a try, but what zip am i supposed to download and rename? I already have the latest version of TWRP on my phone.
You can check the md5 using a file explorer. Longpress on file and select properties, then compare to where you downloaded the ROM from. If s-on, you'll have to pull the boot.IMG from the ROM zip and fastboot flash from cmd or use flash image GUI app from your phone if you can boot.
Also, I think the disable md5 check in TWRP is under settings.

Internal storage on my phone is fried - can't mount anything. PC doesn't find it. RUU is out of date or would possibly work. I'm using windows 7 and having a very scary ride because the phone won't show up with anything except the SD card - which would be awesome and let me flash the new CM10 - but unfortunately when I go to install it, I get "unable to mount SD card" as a perpetual error message. Even the 3.15 RUU is out of date, also, and though I went through the rooting process and unlocked the device thru HTC's website, I have version 3.16 and the RUU tells me to get the correct RUU and try again. I have to go to work now, if anybody else has been through the special hell I'm trying to deal with please post something, anything, to get my windows able to find my phone, or my drive (internal) to mount to the pc or anything! This looks like a brick (and I've never screwed anything up this bad before )
Boot to twrp and mount storage, then plug into computer. Windows will recognize that it's corrupt and give you the choice to format it.
I still have S-ON. *facepalm*
How can I achieve S-OFF status so that the ROM, which I more or less WAS able to flash using your advice, will be able to quit boot looping and actually work?

Got it done. Waited about a week or so to clear my head - then, starting with the unlock bootloader, I used dirtyracun to basically complete the whole process. Was missing a step on babyracun and it wasn't working because of that.
So I have the virgin mobile 3d and I am rooted with s-on. I've been trying to get it off tho. So I was following the quick and dirty thread. And so I relocked the boot loader and then I started up the RUU like the guide. And about halfway through the installation it gave me boot loader version error 140. So I looked it up and I think it means that I was trying to downgrade. And that's why it didn't work. I was supposedly going from 1.14 down to 1.13. These are the version The ruu gave. I'm not sure what the numbers were about but can someone help? That ruu was supposed to be the most updated one. And i have been searching like crazy. Any help would be appreciated. I understand these things, so don't be afraid to talk techy to me lmfao. Thanks

See the note for S-ON users in this post, which is also linked in the informational posts after Step3 of the guide. The reason you are having this problem is because you have already installed the OTA, which has a higher main version (mainver) than the VM RUU.

The PG86DIAG.zip file is an advanced diagnostic that is very tightly controlled by HTC, but the bootloader always looks for it anyway.
The filename for the zip doesn't matter when you use the fastboot flashing method. Can you paste the messages you are getting here starting with the "fastboot erase cache" command? Make sure you delete the PG86IMG.zip file from the root of the SD card before trying the fastboot method.

If you are on hboot 1.57 then you probably have the Evo V 4G which means you need to use the Virgin Mobile version of the RUU.

Edit: one thing I haven't tried is leaving it named PG86IMG.zip and placing it on the SD card. But using 1.5 is that safe to try?. I'm thinking it will work because it is a sprint phone. It has sprint branding. It is just on VM. Let me know what you think

Follow the instructions in this post since you are S-OFF already. I recommend the JBear 1.50.5050 instead on the 1.50 hboot since that doesn't need to be unlocked to run extended fastboot commands.

Need more information.
Are you unlocked, S-on or S-off?
Is the device rooted?
Hard to help with the information at hand.
If you can boot into android, go to play store, download GOO.Manager and "install open recovery script." That should get you a working TWRP recovery.
i am showing s-off with cid 11111111 rooted with rum runner....but im not sure what my current status is with since the crap hit the fan

Check in bootloader, See if you're still Unlocked S-off.
If so you can re-install a recovery.
i now have the tampered flag and showing re-locked...but it was showing re-locked when i last had a successful recovery/rom running
is my bootloader in fact re-locked ( im guessing the reason i keep getting remote not allowed)
i cant seem to find an unlock method that will work... HTCDEV = no good / cant run apk for obvious reasons ( cant boot my baby lol)
All you gotta do is rerun rumrunner.

Well there's your problem.
Might want to ask someone here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919
Or, over in the Rumrunnner thread.
Might be a simple command in adb to re-unlock, not sure.
We are out of my realm of knowledge at this point. Sorry I can''t be of more help. Good luck, I hope you get it figured out.
that gives me an error as if i dont have debugging enabled

Thanks for chiming in thayl0,
like i said, the ONLY thing i can successfully flash is firmware which is what i dont understand . if i can flash that , wth not recovery? btw im trying to flash recovery clockworkmod 6.0.4.5 . could i be trying to flash a recovery not compatible with firmware?
If you are re-locked you will not be able to do anything.
That's where you gotta start. I think thayl0 may be right. Try re-running Rumrunner.
Once you are unlocked, then you will able to install a recovery+++
finally got it fixed! i had to FIND the correct RUU for the firmware im assuming... also by flashing the stock hboot you guys pointed me to. thanks and if anyone else comes across this problem i suggest taking the time to make sure you have compatible RUU and/or other files they r trying to flash. thanks again guys

Most people tell to flash 1.15 but what they don't know is u can't downgrade your phone. So you half to flash 2.07 or 3.06.
If u need more help. Let me know.
