Alright, so I've seen this error before and done plenty of searches and tutorials, and here is where I'm left off:
I have an HTC Thunderbolt and I was getting tired of Das BAMF RC 4.9, so first I wanted to flash BAMF's SoaB to check Sense 3.5, but the OS felt laggy even after waiting for everything to update. So from that point forward I was gonna go with CM7, but it wouldn't flash. I tried both versions in the XDA forums, and no luck, always got the (bad) and then installation aborted.
I flashed the RUU and figured I'd update Verizon's OTAs and then root again. (mistake I'm sure). I had to follow a new root process from the Windows side of my Macbook Pro. The root went fine, but once again, nothing I had downloaded would flash. After finishing a wipe and rebooting, my screen popped up to the infamous "security warning".
Seeing guides online I attempted to flash:
-my original MR1 RUU
-AndroidPolice_PG05IMG_Mecha_2-1.11.605.3
-AndroidPolice_PG05IMG_Mecha_2-2.11.605.3
-AndroidPolice_PG05IMG_Mecha_2-3.11.605.3
No dice, it would get to "checking PG05IMG.zip", load up, then return to main screen. Unplugging the TBolt made the ***Security Warning*** go away, but still no RUU's would flash. So here I am, none of the RUU's, old or new, will flash to my device and it won't boot to anything but hboot.
Fixing would be nice to grab money for it, but at this point, I'm thinking about waiting for Galaxy Nexus. Any suggestions?
First of, Am terribly sorry about your ordeal. secondly, I am unable to comment on a possible fix for resolving your issue. Since you did state that you're waiting for the GNexus to come out, May I suggest checking out this site for "possibly" the Baddest android to come out maybe early next month..Check out this site (http://www.releasedates.co/product/motorola-droid-razr-release-date-0)..Again, sorry about your issue. RUUs scare the crap out of me and I keep my distance!! I rooted correctly the first time around and that was scary enough. Hope it all works out for you. PM a "Known" dev within TB's forums and am sure you'll get a quicker answer rather than waiting for one to discover your Thread
Thank you for the condolences. lol.
I looked at the RAZR a bit, but I with my current fiasco, I don't really want to root for a while (because I just don't need it), I'm super stoked for ICS, and the Nexus is supposedly nearly bloatware-free. Given that RAZR is such a running Verizon name, I almost expect it to have even more Bloatware out of the box, and the Bionic hype, release, and quick fall from grace makes me a little leery of Motorola right now. I figure I had a MotoDroid X, then an HTC TBolt, so now I'll give Samsung a shot. But I suppose someone may attempt to sell me on the RAZR, so I say "give it your best shot".
Great minds do think a like and Am not completely sold on it yet either.. for most of the reasons you've stated. The specs however, are given me "Tunnel" vision though and I hope I can wait till the first batch and any major issues get ironed out before my "Non Patient" self decides to get it..Bionic was definitely a "BIG" hype and I personally didn't even think of getting it and I don't regret one bit getting my TB. Am kinda a sense guy but CM7's latest got me trippin now cuz I've got it setup so damn nice and its Blazing Fast and smooth ..I guess I didn't do a good job selling you on DR and I wouldn't try it cause that would be "Hypocritical" of me..LOL
Haha, don't worry. I've got the "tunnel vision" for the GN. I heard the words "ICS" "Bloatware-free" and "Dual-core optimized" and I was sold. You seem like you know your technology very well. Don't suppose you have a Google+ I could add you on?
In fact, I am on G+ but to be honest, Am not much for the social apps and not exactly sure on using it..I haven't given it much effort. I may be the only one in this world not on FB LOL
Please see this thread for a possible fix. Fix is on Post # 5. Please share your results.

Unfortunately, those were the first two RUU's I attempted to flash :/ no dice
You said you flashed an ruu and then gained root.
1. Which ruu did you flash?
2. And which root method did you use?
3. When you boot into bootloader does it say locked or unlocked?
4. And which bootloader version does it show?
5. Are all your root applications working?

Is there anyway you can hit me up on chat somewhere. You have the bootloader used before the phone was released 0.95.0000. This is why you are getting the security warning. The released version was 1.04.0000. From my understanding, you are not supposed to downgrade the bootloader lower than that released version. PM me your IM info and I'll gladly try to help you.

So I am on the fence on this one. Every Android device I have owned has been rooted but not being able to return the device if something should go wrong has me a little skeptical with the View.
Looking at the development section I also don't see anything that would make me jump off stock right now and not sure if that will change in the future.
Anyone else contemplating keeping it stock? I did notice you can always go back to GB from HC and then root but it would require you to use HTC unlocker. My question is, if you use HTC's unlocker can you still achieve S-OFF and load Roms, Radios, and Kernels from CWM or will it be like the EVO 3D fiasco?

Nevermind please ignore. My post below is about Flyer and OP was asking about View. Not sure what to do about view
Not accurate. You do not need to unlock to get to HC or get back from HC to GB.
1) GB to HC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
2) Back to GB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428104
After following instructions on second link, you are back to GB, but you are S-OFF. To go back to S-ON Follow this guide => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346200

I went about this in just about the wrong-est way possible by getting the OTA Honeycomb update before doing anything. I used the HC to GB downgrade process described in the dev forum (which requires the HTC unlock as a first step), then got S-OFF using globatron's other thread, both of which worked with little drama.
I've had no trouble flashing ROM's through CWM but haven't tried anything else (is the HC kernel source for the View even available yet?). In short, I have no regrets, but I bought the View to play with so YMMV.
I think the main thing I am looking forward to with this purchase is the rooting and the unlockable bootloader. If I decide to keep it, that will be the first thing I'm doing
I am going to stay Stock. It's a very good device as Stock and there is no need to put on a ROM as far as I am concerned.

You shouldn't return the product because you screwed up trying to modify it... this is the reason why locked bootloaders exist!

Thanks buddy, I don't need a lesson from you as to why locked bootloaders exist. I have owned over 10 smartphones in my day and have unlocked / rooted all of them with no problems. But you best be sure if I mess something up within my return period it is going back like everyone else here would do including you Mr high almighty.
Also, when Dev's work on an un-root method a lot of times they will brick a device and need to return it for another one. So will you purchase them another device so they can do you a favor and unlock your bootloader for you? I don't think so.
So after doing some research, I am thinking of rooting it but just leaving GB on it. I have seen people complain about some compatibility issues with some apps as well as the on screen buttons taking up to much screen real estate. I don't really see an advantage to going to honeycomb.
Another question, is there a way to re-root the phone back to stock after it is unrooted? If ICS comes to town, I would probably want to grab the official update...

Why? A rooted version of the official ICS update (if one every happens) would likely show up right after the official OTAs hit the airwaves. If not leaked earlier even.
So to prevent getting flammed over dumb ??, does anybody do this via RDP? I am willing to pay! I have been reading in the shadows for a some time and have a good idea and have even DL the dev files but after the new update mad:), I just cant finger out how to move foward. All i am looking to do is remove bloatware and use moblie teather/WiFi hotspot so I can use my TF201 on the road and maybe a few other things (nothing crazy).
How much you willing to pay?

(i respond better to video/tut)
zedomax is a good guy i remember him rom my EPIC touch 4g days
i smashed my phone and ended up getting a brand new asurion replacement and it came with hboot 1.5
i had to update via RUU 2.17 because the "unlock bin code" wouldnt stick
either method is still ok
but i would recommend using TWRP 2.0 instead of 1.1 or what ever it was
all you have to do is download TWRP 2.0 rather than the old one and apply it the same way through fastboot
pm me if you (or ANYONE) needs any help or has questions (took me about 20 minutes to do on my own)
EDIT*
on a general note i would NEVER pay for something that is found free, i almost paid 100 bucks to have my evo 3d flashed to boost mobile till i did a 2 night research quest and figured it out

i like zedomax's guide because ALL files are in one place and its a little simpler than the one in the sticky

So I was on SOS Rom with Chad's linux 3 kernel and did the wire trick. I got s off, yay!!!!
So, now my wifi stinks, 3g stinks, my touch screen was affected, I have slight dead areas. I can't flash kernels, but I can flash boot screens. Totally not worth the trade off, lol. I have tried CWM, 4Ext, fastboot and flash image GUI. None work
Anyone have any ideas WTF is going on? Or what I need to do? I was thinking about using google to find out how to get s on and try the wire trick again, or just stay s on.
Would I need to flash a firmware from Frieza to possibly fix the kernel issues? I have no idea how that would help at all, lol.
If anyone else has had issues like this,.what did you do?

Well I'm deeply sorry for your issues but I also believe that the issues your experiencing is not totally related to the "wire trick".
The effects of the wire tricks can't do much damage because the voltage going out of the pin#1 is not enough to cause massive effects with the small amount of time you make contact with ground.
Questions :
what kind of wire did you use?
How long did you place the wires in full contact?
I would say as well that disclaimers are posted and there are risks with following any prodcedures written in this site.
Try flashing a RUU and see what happens, perhaps that could be a way out?

Oouch! I hope there is a fix for you, I'm sure you are going to try everything.
I don't know how to fix this but I do know a little bit about electronics. Actually quite a bit. Sounds like this trick shorted out or caused a voltage spike internally. Generally when an electronic component is damaged, there is no fix.
When you let out that factory installed smoke, you can't get the Genie back in the bottle.
I had a laptop once where the fan stopped working. I bought a new one. New one was not getting any voltage. A friend of mine was sitting at the bench with me. He decides lets just find another spot with same voltage and tap in there. Starts jumping wires around on the mother board and poof -- $1,000 dollar laptop on sale for parts on Ebay. Took me a long time to get over that one.
I was just looking around and found a problem similar to yours, in the "wire trick" thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26390751

Just a little more info. I can flash other kernels, but on sense Roms, it just shows up as the same name as the other stock kernel. I was able to fully flash other roms, like AOSP. Once I flash AOSP, I can see the other kernels I flash.
Flashing AOSP:
While I can flash it and other kernels, I get stuck on being able to activate my phone on the device. It gets stuck saying airplane mode is on. Totally sucks. Haven't tried activating online or by calling sprint. I have been busy with family stuff.
If anyone else has issues, post em up! Perhaps we can all help each other out

So Here's what I ended up doing. After wire trick got me the S-Off, I had that ICS HBoot and thought hey, maybe this has something to do with my weird AOSP issues (for background please see my post in the CDMA developers section in the JBear thread), so I flashed my 2.17 RUU that I had handy. After that, I updated PRL and Profile (hoping this would do something). Then to my surprise, everything was stock again, bootloader read hboot 1.5.0 again instead of the 1.57 one, however no root because it's an RUU! Anyway, I kept reading through the thread like some of these folks told me, however I didn't find much, I did see that most people with success were using the JBear GB version. So, I flashed the jb_hboot from the GB version (I actually took another guy's advices and simply renamed the jb_hboot.zip file to PG86IMG.zip, this worked! Got me the Jbead modified GB bootloader on 1.50. SO I guess since we're S-Off, I was able to go back to hboot 1.50 and then did a fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and flashed the Ext4 recovery image I had. From there, I restored the nandroid I had (Nocturnal ICS Xi36 r105) and it all booted up fine. Later I will try flashing back to CM9 and see what happens, perhaps I'll be able to get out of this "sort of Airplane mode" that isn't really airplane mode (where the phone htinks it's deactivated.)
The key here is that while I was on GB RUU, I updated PRL and Profile, then went to the 1.5 hboot hoping that would be enough for the CM 9 rom and other AOSP ICS roms to activate upon install. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for starting this thread man, we need a place to sort all this out. With all the info that floods the OPs of development threads, it's hard to really find what is even relevant. So, glad to see one in the Q and A that we can ask questions.
Well what i can say is that after trying the wire trick my device would randomly turn off and stop working. No charge, No light. Nada. Completely dead then it would randomly come back to life. Anyways. I took my phone to sprint today and ill be going back in two hours to see what the problem with my phone is.
I personally think its a hardware issue. Maybe i used a bad wire? Or i touched the wire during the process which is known to mess up your device.
Thinking about it . I don't see why people don't downgrade instead of the wire trick.
Update- Sprint told me my device had hardware issues and will send me a new phone within 4 days.
There is a possibility that, as someone else has pointed out, that we are indeed hurting our phones. Not so insulated wires, paperclip with tape etc, is the culprit. Too much static getting in and possibly hurting our phones. Something to think about.
To RUU Paul, lol,
I was thinking of uprooting using a similar method like you and gaining root again to ensure it isn't permanent. While it seems you could make it back, this could mean it is a software issue then, but it is too early to tell. Hopefully we cab get enough of the anomalies in to pin point this.

Thanks for pointing this all out! I can confirm that doing this allows us to flash back to AOSP with Airplane mode off and get it all up and going.
Once in there, you can change out your kernel and see that it is changed under About Phone! I loves you so much!
Now, if anyone has a way to verify if a kernel was changed or not, we can see if my idea was right about it flashing the kernel, just not showing the correct name of the kernel that was flashed
Thank you all the effort you guys have put into this. I too ran into this issue, and simply flashing the GB hboot resolved my issue. Just so everyone knows, that it is not necessary to revert to stock first. Just simply flash the other hboot, and you should be good to go.

dont worry about the locked, if you are s-off you can flash whatever through hboot (especially since its probably a factory s off device)
Muahahahahahahahaha. I am one happy camper! I got it for $200 because it was missing the back cover (that's the antennae, so listed as non working) , so I bought the extended battery/cover for $50 and voila! I might just get into the dev game myself with this s off...
i'm jealous...
Just installed twrp and rooted. Now, on my stock rom it keeps re downloading VZW DEMO, and the demo keeps popping up, and when I delete it it re downloads and keeps the screen on, playing the stupid features movie! How do I get rid of it, because I haven't seen it anywhere when I search.

Shameless advertising. But he's right, that rom is the best rom I've used on any phone to date...just amazing.
congradulations, I may cry but I am still waiting for root
Well I'm still trying to download that rom.
When I get the HTC splashscreen going into to recovery, it gives me this little disclaimer about "this build is for development purposes only" and says to ask permission from HTC before sharing anything. Hmmmm....
Words can't describe how happy I am to have this S-OFF... But with the iPhone 5 out and the new quad core coming Verizon will relax and hopefully everyone else will be unlocked too.

Sounds like a demo unit. The units sent to stores for floor demos were programmed to load the demo content automatically (vzwdemo Aka device showcase). The fact it didn't come with a back makes it seem someone got out with a demo device...
That scares me... Good thing it doubles as a GSM phone, just in case
Edit- Contacted the seller for more information. this sucks, such an awesome find and I might have to return it

the development build stuff is what we see on unlocked htc dev phones as well, no biggie
Can we get all your mmcblock images off you? I don't know much about the dev side of unlocking, but the Galaxy S3 only had to flash an image to one of the mmcblocks to get it fully unlocked. Could the same be true here???? Share the love!!! :highfive:

Yes I've been using it for 2 days now, and supposedly the seller verified it was bought legitimately.
Also, what about mmcblocks?
I think I can shed some light on this as I also have an S-Off phone. Mine was bought from a Verizon employee, I rooted it when I got it and did not have to unlock the bootloader (It also says LOCKED, like yours). When activated on the network, it reads to Verizon as 4G test device instead of Incredible 4G- so most VZ employees ask how I got it. I usually say I bought it from a friend because they sem to want it back. One store manager was acting shady and I wouldn't let him touch my device (just went in to activate a new line on the phone).
Sorry I am rambling- What I think you got is a store display version which would explain the lack of a rear cover. Are you sure it isn't stolen from a retail display?
If I were you, I'd look into it because they can make that "BAD ESN" if it was stolen.
Anyhow- what would y'all say my S-Off device is worth on the open market here (don't send me offers, just curious in case I get a GS3).

it really depends..
most people would wait it out, as hopefully root comes, and with root/temp-root will soon come S-OFF.
so if someone REALLY wants root, they may pay a little bit more than a regular phone, but personally, I'd rather S-OFF my device I phone from the store (which I've been offered to.. but it's not worth the risk of testing S-OFF on my main device, yet anyway)..
If you do decide to sell, I'm sure someone would gladly pay a lil more than a reg phone.

Thanks Andy,
And thanks for your wonderful ROMs
I got way ahead of myself after receiving my HOX+ for only the difference of my HOX purchase and began to flash the worldwide development exploits to my phone.
I noticed in the TWRP thread, it said ATT users 'may' experience trouble, so I took the risk.
Noticed I couldnt mount system or Cache, did a factory reset before attempting to install SuperSU. Now Im stuck with no OS.
Am I stuck until we get more ATT exploits?
I see no stock ATT software so this leads me to believe I will not be able to see nothing more then the TWRP menu until USA gets on this thing. Correct?
I didnt do a backup.

Not a clever move. I don't know much about the AT&T device, but when I was helping Lloir test the first lot of custom recoveries, I accidently formatted my nand by trying to factory reset. It was easy to rescue for me as I had a RUU to flash. But AFAIK there is none for AT&T. If you have done what I did. I'm afraid your stuck with a brick until Lloir has finished the AT&T recovery and you can flash a custom rom.

You're stuck until we actually get a proper recovery. You will be doubly screwed if you flashed TWRP for the One XL.

I am sorry, but (a big BUT) if you had taken the time to read a little bit through the X+ forum for like 15 minutes, in particular through the recovery threads, you would have learned that the AT&T version is not yet supported.
I am sorry for the trouble that you experience, but it is always better to first understand completely before doing something, in particular with an expensive device like this one.
However, I don't think Lloir is far off of a working recovery.
Thanks man to pro

yeah lesson learn always read and don't assume even if you have rooted before :3
This is the first time i've jumped the gun like this. I just got so excited when they told me I could bring in my HOX and grab the X+ for only the difference. Out the store I was thinking "4 cores??? Im gonna hack this mother effer, PRONTO!!!"
Got home, saw the TWRP and All in One. I felt like it was a wrap! All in One, IIRC gave not one warning about worldwide vs. ATT, TWRP gave a warning about 'possible' issues. I assumed a misaligned touch screen or the sdcard message he posted or something minor.
It wasnt until I was already done, unlocked, and flashed when I realized I screwed up and started to investigate my mistake.
I am not blaming the devs AT ALL. It is my fault, being on the leecher end of the table, for not being thorough and researching before jumping into something crucial with such a valuable piece of equipment.
I hardly post on XDA, mostly because I have mastered XDA's, as well as Google's search button and end up finding my answer before resorting to wasting space, time, money, and energy on a crap post like this one. This also makes me a leecher, being as I never have anything more to offer. So I want to thank all of the devs for their amazing work throughout these years I've been on XDA and in front of a smartphone

That's what I did after I bricked my AT$T phone. Got a new one. Although this time I only unlocked the boot loader. i am a little scared to load a recovery after my last experience with this phone. I think I will wait a bit...
Same here. Bricked mine and swapped it out for a new unit.
I just used the all-in-one and it went smooth.

honestly the TWRP works just fine as long as you choose the AT&T one and flashing SU is all you need for now to bak the bloat
PM sent!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I honestly dont want to risk it, since my phone clearly says its been unlocked all over it! I dont know exactly how strict they are over ATT being as I just transferred from sprint. But at sprint they inspect your phone for about 3 hours before blaming it on you and voiding your warranty.
