i applied the latest HC ota update, it seemed like it finished the update, was stuck at the htc logo. i waited about an hour and decided to restart. my phone now gets stuck in a bootloop. it gets to the sprint animation and back to the htc logo.
i'm s-on
hboot-1.14.0005
microp-0656
radio-1.05.01.1006_3
eMMC-boot
oct 25, 2011, 16:35:13
any suggestions on what i can try? i tried placing the ota zip on the sd card and renamed it to p41img.zip, it starts but seems to stop right after it says something about parsing. stock recovery just shows a red exclamation point. i hope i don't have to send it in, this sucks

You need to press Vol Up + Power once you see the red ! in stock recovery. Wipe your data. The boot looping is due to corrupted data after a software version change.

yea i tried that. at the bottom it says can't open cache/recovery/command, but i still went ahead and wiped data. i want to overwrite /system but the img files are too big for fastboot. can i reapply, just the system part of the update? i'm assuming i might have to create a system.img.
looks like i'm stuck until someone can get custom recovery to work on the new hboot
That's not going to happen any time soon (custom recovery).
It looks like the second stage of the upgrade didn't happen.
Unzip the ota zip file, and extract the firmware.zip from inside it (do not extract firmware.zip ) Copy that to the SD-CARD and rename if PG41IMG.zip and try installing from the bootloader. If that fails then this is a standard support request.
You will not be the only one who has issues like this during this type of upgrade, and unless footballcomesup trumps again and finds the RUU it will mean a service call to fix the software in a partial upgrade.

Oi vey.
That's not how you update your device. When you get an update.zip for a custom ROM, such as the ones you'll find here on XDA, you need to flash it via ClockworkMod Recovery.
In the Jetstream - Android Development forum you'll find instructions on how to root your device and install the custom recovery image. Once that's done, you'll boot your device into recovery mode, and install your update.zip from there.
I have no idea what "fastboot flash zip" even does. You may have completely screwed your device. That being said, head here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1418084 and follow the instructions to install ClockworkMod Recovery.
I'm not sure just how well that'll work for you. Good luck, sir!
i m able to flash the rom buh it wont boot up when connected to pc it shows the tablet is running but the screen will remain black,
finally able to fix it i went to cwm mounts and storage formatted the system, date and everything tht had format on it and somehow it fixed it, do u have any suggestion on how to flash the stock rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287553
That thread points to a collection of all the RUU's available for download. I haven't had any luck flashing my own, so good luck!

I have been researching the white HTC screen boot loop for the past 3 days trying to figure out how to fix my Evo3d. After today i have finally given up.

-Flashed stock RUU and it completes, but reboots into the bootloop
-Upload PG86IMG,zip onto phone. Updates fine and reboots back into bootloop as well
-Don't have a nandroid backup and can't get into recovery anyway. When i flash recovery through CMD i get the message:

ok now you take the rom and open it up on your computer and extract the file boot.img
copy it to the same place where fastboot.exe and adb.exe are located
go to your phone and hold in the volume down button and press power to get to your bootloader
select fastboot
then plug it into your computer
open up a terminal window on your computer and go to the directory with fast boot and type in
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Interesting. You used the HTC unlock method and your phone is showing s-off. I was always under the impression that the HTC method leaves you s-on.
The reason I say that is because your phone is showing symptoms of being s-on. If you use 4ext set to s-on and try to flash a GB Rom, does it work?

Assuming you don't have adb tools which you probably do have but humor me.

Thinking but I can't seem to come up with any solutions right now, sorry
Your S-off, why don't you use the PG75IMG.zip of the twrp 2.2.2. Put it on the root of your external sd card and boot into the bootloader let it install. After it installs, you have to remove the file from your sd card or it will keep on installing everytime you enter the bootloader. Here is the link to download it:
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/jewel/PJ75IMG-twrp-2.2.2.0-jewel.zip
TWRP website: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/98
Remember, you have to rename it to PJ175IMG.zip before you install it.
Glad someone had the link for the update zip, I only have the img
Thanks everyone. I'm up and running again on the EVO LTE. I did use the bootloader method to flash the .zip. I also now think my primary issue was self inflicted - I was using a 32gb micro SD card and I don't think the phone liked that. When I used one of my 8GB cards everything seemed to work like a champ.
Again, I want say thank you for the super fast responses and great knowledge provided - THANK YOU!!
So last week a friend asked me to s-off his phone for him.. The phone ended up bricking (recovery gone, no os, etc...)..
Where I am at:
1. The phone is S-ON (Actually says "Monarudo PVT Ship S-ON"
2. The phone has an unlocked boot loader
3. The phone has TWRP 2.4 installed
4. HBoot 1.33
5. Radio 1.01.01.0110
6. OpenDSP v6.120.274.0114
7. eMMC-boot
8. The phone has a 4.1.1 based rom installed (Tried carbon 4.3 based, same issue and CM 4.2 based, same issue)
I have tried moonshine and face's s-off with no luck. I get about half way through with moonshine and it just sits there counting, adding periods.
I have tried :
1. Flashing a stock hboot 1.15
2. Flashing the stock splash
3. Flashing the stock RUU
Issues :
1. The phone gets NO reception Just the X with empty bars. I don't know if its the radio or something. Every once and a while I get 2 bars for a second but it goes away.
PLEASE HELP! I feel horrible that my buddy has to borrow my bionic until this is fixed.
when I tried the stock RUU from HTC it gets to a point and fails telling me incorrect image or seomthing like that.. Should have written it down, I can run it again if the error helps.

Every one learn everyday.
Download 1.15 stock hboot. Rename to PL83IMG.zip. when u renamed it make sure is not zip.zip cause this file is already zip so u try only to rename it to PL83IMG (right click the file in your pc and check properties to make sure windows got it already as a zip extension) and place in the folder that contains ( in ur pc) your android-adb folder*
there is where any zip should go, with the exception of user preferences location. (or different folder named by the user)
Step 1) adb reboot bootloader
Step 2) fastboot oem rebootRUU
Step 3) Command to directory containing your renamed hboot zip (i.e. C:\android-adb\)
Step 4) fastboot flash zip PL83IMG.zip
*** When it says it is done in the terminal/cmdprompt execute step 5 )

yes u need Hboot, but you did before unlock, s-off with moonshine method or revone?
you can try RUU now but If you get an Image 158 error during RUU, try flashing the stock hboot again.

Good Day community, I have a question to see if you can help me or someone who has already done.
I have my M8 (CID CWS_001 was originally AT & T) and I have SuperCID, I'm s-off, I have unlocked the bootloader, I installed the firmware 2.22.401.5 and TWRM 2.7.1 rom with 7.1 HD Maximus, good now my question is: I want to make the official Developer Edition version of HTC (CID BS_US002 and firmware 2.22.1540.3) the idea is to stick with OTA updates and all could help me with what I want? thank you very much to all.
the idea is that it looks as if you had bought the developer edition version and not the at & t
greetings,
the easiest way would be to run the dev edition RUU, thats what i did, just be sure to change the cid to match.

The only file for the Developer Edition that I could find is the MR1 file, but no RUU. I have an AT&T branded M8, fully converted to GPe. Is there a way to run the MR1 to convert my current setup to the Developer Edition?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/txz5sv2r3...31A.4145.02L_release_372510_signed_2.exe?dl=0
That should be the link to it in my dropbox. just give it a min to upload.
Thanks for posting the RUU! I changed my phone's CID to BS_US002 and ran the RUU, only to get the dreaded 159 error. I find myself missing Sense, but I really don't want to revert to AT&T's bloatware-infested version and deal with their constant update delays.
I wonder If the error has something to do with the HBOOT version on the 4.4.4 GPe firmware?
Pretty sure you have to convert back to sense before you run the RUU.

the idea is that it looks as if you had bought the developer edition version and not the at & t
greetings,

I converted my AT&T One M8 to US unlocked version (CID: BS_US001) using the directions in the thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/change-wwe-m8-to-dev-edition-ota-t2826567
This assumes you have S-OFF, and unlocked bootloader and i started with an AT&T stock rom with no root. I am not sure if that is a requirement. For this i did the AT&T RUU by installing an older stock recovery. (AT&T 4.4.3 RUU)
1. Change CID to BS_US001 - open command prompt on your computer and navigate to your fastboot folder; alternatively open the fastboot folder and hold down shift and rightclick, and select open command prompt here. turn USB debugging ON on your phone and connect it to your computer in fastboot mode (turn your phone off and while holding the VOL down button press the power button, the phone goes to bootloader mode, select the fastboot [first option] and press power button, connect the phone to computer and it should say fastboot-usb), verify connection by typing fastboot devices in cmd prompt, it should give your device code. after confirming you are connected via fastboot, type "fastboot oem writecid BS_US001" Reboot bootloader and confirm CID change by typing "fastboot getvar all" and your CID should read "BS_US001".
2. Restore developer nand - for this you will need a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM. If you already have TWRP, then please proceed. To install custom recovery, download TWRP from here. save the twrp recovery image file to your fastboot folder. put your phone in fastboot mode and connect to computer and open cmd prompt from your fastboot folder and type "fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img", recoveryname should be exactly what the same as TWRP recovery filename. Verify TWRP installation by typing "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and selecting recovery. TWRP recovery should load. Download BS-US001 stock nand from here. At this point boot your phone normally and connect to computer. The navigate to the TWRP folder and backup folder, and paste the BS_US001 nand zip file here. Reboot to TWRP recovery and select restore and select the BS_US001 file you just copied.
3. Install Unlocked version (BS_US001) firmware which includes stock recovery - Download the unlocked version firmware from here. For installing firmware i used this thread. There are two methods however, i used the following method and is my favorite. For this it is recommended that the HT sync manager be uninstalled leaving just the HTC drivers. Place the firmware zip in the fastboot folder. Put your phone in fastboot mode and connect to computer. Open cmd prompt in your fastboot folder. Type "fastboot oem rebootRUU", phone will turnoff and a dark screen with only HTC will appear (this is the RUU mode), now type "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" replace firmware with the actual filename of the firmware zip. You will see a green progress bar while the firmware is being flashed. I read somewhere that the flash will fail the first time so reflash the firmware a second time by typing "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip". It did fail for me the first time and installed the firmware a second time and it worked. type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" from here select option to reboot your phone normally. Once booted and connected to the internet, you will receive an OTA update notification for 4.4.3. After installing that, another OTA for GPS improvements will appear.
This worked for me. If you are stuck at some point, please read through the original threads. Especially the firware installation thread has a nice FAQ. Goodluck. Please remember, you can not install an OTA while you have a custom recovery. Please wait until you install the firmware zip for accepting the OTA. If the firmware does not install fro some reason, you can pull the stock recovery from the firmware zip and install this recovery using fastboot. Then you can accept the OTAs.
Let me know how it goes.
Converting back to Sense from GPe prior to running the RUU is what I was afraid of. Oh well, I guess I'll have to set aside a couple of hours this weekend. Thanks for the clarification, guys!
here is a link to show you how to do it, once you have all the files it doesnt take 10 mins. i have done it at least 3 times without a problem.

It worked like a charm. I'm now running a full DevEd. Thanks for all your help!
Glad it worked for you.
This was my first full day running the phone since I converted to DevEd and the first thing I've noticed is that the battery life is through the roof. With moderately heavy usage, I currently have about 40% of battery life left. The phone would have been dead by 6 pm when I was running GPe.
Some Help Please!
Hello guys, I converted a BS_US001 to gpe, but I want to go back to stock sense. Yesterday I followed this youtube video http://youtu.be/BLbJaSMfFks to restore the newest stock nandroid backup available 2.22....4, I was able to copy the files and restore everything but for some reason after restoring the boot up of the OS was extremely slow it was taking 5 mins or so to fully boot, I think that my mistake was not doing a "Full custom wipe" in TWRP or a compatibility problem I do not know. I ended up re-installing the GPE RUU.
Today I want to start fresh, could you guys please help me with a few simple steps?
I think this is the order I have to follow:
1. Change CID to 11111111
2. Flash 1.54.401.5
3. Boot into stock recovery to Factory reset
4. Install custom recovery TWRP
5. perform a full custom wipe formating system partition
6. reboot into fastboot and change CID to BS_US001
7. Reboot Fastboot and run RUU (or do I have to have a backup restored first?)
I am missing something? Thank you.
Note: I was able to find this RUU_M8_UL_K44_SENSE60_SECURITY_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.54.1540.10_Radio_1.16.21331931.LA11G_20.31A.4145.02L_release_372510_signed_2.exe
*UPDATE: I've messing around with this RUU to avoid the error 59 previously described and I found a great tutorial to extract the RUU zip from the .exe, unfortunately the zip appears to be invalid and cannot be opened (someone mentioned that Zip Repair Pro does the trick but that sounds kinda messy) I tried to flash the 0P6BIMG.zip and the error I get is this:
sending 'zip' (633306 KB)...
OKAY [ 38.593s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) zip header checking...
(bootloader) shift signature_size for header checking...
FAILED (remote: 32 header error)
finished. total time: 40.025s
Could you guys please share the BrightstarUS RUU again just to confirm if the RUU that I downloaded is corrupted or not?
Thank you again!

I'm having the same problem. I want to convert to Developer edition using a RUU, but none of the Windows 7 machines I can find will run the exe file properly. It's so incredibly frustrating for me! All I need is a working ZIP that doesn't give me the 32 header error
