Was messing with my Evo View and trying to get updates to work since I kept getting the "error 1233" so I tapped the HTC update check and there was available update I figured it might be what's keeping me from seeing the HC options so tapped it and updated it. The Evo shutdown and rebooted without any issue then when back to updates and didn't want to work so I rebooted and now I'm stuck on the soft brick with a hboot of 6.13.1002 and I can't do anything from there.
ANY HELP PLZ.
Needs moar details before anyone can help you. Are you s-off'ed?
What update were you on before updating?
It's s-off was on the 1.13 hboot and still running the GB firmware, I was trying to use the hboot that was provided for HC but fastboot was giving me an error saying it couldnt read it or something.
I used the update under the HTC firmware since all the others were giving me error codes 1233.
If you're still S-OFF (Poor move doing OTA updates with s-off and root) Boot into the the bootloader (power+volume down), select recovery, boot into recovery and fix yourself.

I am caught in a bootloop and can't figure out what to do. I can get into the fast boot but when I try to restore or install a new rom, it goes back into bootloop showing the htc logo.
The background information is that I had rooted and installed a custom when I got it then didnt use it much for the last 6 months. When I started using it again I wanted to update the rom but was having problems getting it to load so I decided to load the original rom thinking I would start ovter again from scratch. seemed to work I updated via the OTA to two versions of GB but when I installed the HC update it stuck on the HTC screen. I havent been able to get it to do anything since.
Any help would be appreciated.
Anyone?
please I love my flyer
So you tried to install the ota on rooted s off device. That was your issue. You likely have a miss match of hboot and system.
Get into hboot and tell us what it says up top. Version and if it says s off or on

thanks for the reply
I believe all you have to do is follow the steps from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
you already have a s off gingerbread hboot. I would power down and charge your device for a couple of hours before attempting. I think you should be able to fastboot flash the approriate package and or run the appropriate ruu and it will ultimatley replace the gb hboot with a hc hboot and flash the remainder of the system.
your problem as I mentioned is that the s off gb hboot could not be over writen by the ota update and so you are in a sittuation where your hboot does not match your system and radio. Before attempting it you may want to post your sittuation in the thread. Globatron is very active and usually quick to repsond. Just be concise with what you did to get to your state
Hi,
i have some problems with my HCT Flyer (O2 branded german version):
The OTA update to HC failed, so I was only able to get into the fastboot mode any more and the device was relocked (** Security warning ** ** relocked **).
I was able to unlock (via HTC unlock code) and flash the CWM recovery and flash the Leedroid GB ROM onto it, but got a boot-loop (several fails, missing files, and so on seen via ddms). I think the main problem is the radio and HBOOT-version (11.1.0006).
So I tried to flash the Leedroid HC ROM and this one finally boots correctly, but has several Problems (no WLAN, no 3G, no working HW buttons, and so on).
Also I think the radio and hboot versions are still the main problems.
As I'm still S-ON, I'm not able to flash the older radio and hboot files.
The (correct) RUU also don't work properly (Failure 150).
The actual situation:
*** UNLOCKED ***

So I have a somehow working Leedoid HC on it, I'm able to boot android, connecting via ADB, getting into fastboot and CWM-recovery.
But I'm stuck on getting S-OFF to flash radio/hboot from the RUU.
Any idea how I can do that?
Main aim is getting a working GB, nevertheless if its the stock-rom or a custom rom like Leedroid.
Would be deeply grateful for any assistance in solving that problem.
Kind regards.
In addition I also tryed setting up a goldcard, but had no success with that.
Any other ways known to get it S-OFF?
Oder any other ways to downgrade radio and hboot to the stock-version?
Would be glad if somebody could give me a hint.
Thanks in advance.
to get lee droid hc to boot copy the boot.img from the rom zip. then fastboot flash the boot img and then flash the rom. should work.
to get s off I think you would need to downgrade to gingerbread then use globatrons method to gain hc s off.

Leedroid HC does boot without problems, but has several problems (no HW buttons, no WLAN, no 3G, ...). Furthermore I can't switch it off. All the time I shut it down, it rebootes and is running several seconds later. Shutting down is only possibel via the CWM recovery.

Downgrading to gingerbread would be nice, but I didn't manage to do so.
I even would prefer staying on gingerbread...
Leedroid GB does not boot (bootloop, several files missing, several fails in DDMS).
And running the RUU leads to Failure 150. I think the newer radio/hboot are the source of all the failures.
But for replacing the hboot/radio by a older one I need to gain s-off ....

Ok, I did so, but wasnt able to boot Leedroid anymore after that. Just got the white screen with green "htc" on it.
But how can it be, that the boot.img is required if the lee ROM comes with an own kernel?
Also flashing the kernel that comes with the lee ROM wasnt possible anymore after fastboot flash the boot_signed.img. But via NANDBACKUP I was able to restore it.
So any further idea to get Leedroid GB running?
Or gain S-OFF with my setting?
I may be confused as to you're actual current state. Are you running honeycomb or gingerbread? If honeycomb you can not flash gingerbread roms, and vice versa

That might be the main part of the Problem.
I really cant tell you, I think I'm somewhere in between.
I was running stock gingerbread, s-on and locked - just out of the box.
Then an OTA update to honeycomb was started and failed and left the device (soft-)bricked. Only flashboot was accessible any more. Android didn't boot, turning on automaticly leads to flashboot, starting recovery/factory reset just leads to a reboot into flashboot.
In this state I was able to unlock (via HTC dev utility) and flash CWM recovery to be able to flash zip files. But I was not able to flash hboot, radio, system and so on.
I first tried Leedroid GB wich leads to a bootloop.
Then I flashed Leedroid HC, wich boots, but is not working propperly. (no WLAN, no 3G, no HW-buttons, and so on).
So I think there are incompatible radio and/or hboot on it as the OTA update failed somewhere in the middle.
But as I'm still S-ON, I cant flash all parts of the RUU (GB).
And just running RUU also don't work, as the radio/hboot seem to be newer then the version of the RUU.
And also the HowTo of globatron with "misc_version_universal" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307759) did not work. (RUU shows the changed version number, but fails nevertheless).

hey, I am a noob, have my flayer exactly like ur status u mentioned b4 HB 1.11.0006
it is stuck on that rom, HC, which have no Phone ability also.
Is it possible that you give me step by step guidance. i am worried if I attempt doing what u said above vaguely I would brick it. actually a friend of mine had the exact situation and got it bricked and had to change the main board.
hi s-off my phone when the hboot was 1.49.0007
but after the ics update i re(s-on) my phone for the new ics update
but now the hboot is 1.53.0007 and can't make it s-off(Update sucks nothing special)
1_tried using unlimited.io but didn't work made an error my guess because it's ics
2_tried using GB ROM(Leedroid) didn't work
used fastboot flash boot boot.img still no luck (restarts every 5 seconds)
3_PG86IMG.zip fails (Main version is Older)
4_last shooter ruu error 140
Any advice? thank you
If you accepted an official OTA update, then you are likely now stuck in Hboot1.5-Hell. (I made this mistake many moons ago.)
You can try one of the many methods to downgrade your HBoot, but I don't know how that works with the official ICS update.
Sorry.
thanks for answering
hope there will be a solution soon
not much of a problem still can flash any ICS ROM Unless Sense 4.0
but if there are any other ideas please help

That error could mean the update put your bootloader to stock I'm not certain of what your capable of doing at the moment but I do know to unlock the bootloader for hboot 1.5 you had to use the HTC unlock method and maybe you'll have to use it. I'm not an expert so this may not be the case but keep in mind you said your hboot is at a different value than previous to me it would only make sense to use the HTC method to unlock reestablish root the use the wire trick to get s-off. If you try this I wish you success. Sorry if this seems lacking but if I find something out I'll make sure you know

1_ you tried unlimited.io and it didn't work? Thats surprising to me.
2_ have you tried booting recovery from fastboot and flashing a gb rom? Fastboot boot recovery yourrecovery.img
3_ You can run an older ruu if you change your main version, but it still won't lower your hboot, your phone says its version "x.x.x.x" and the ruu is lower so it won't flash.
4_ you will never be able to lower your hboot unless you use a downgrade method like unknownforces brick/downgrade. If you put a lower hboot in the newest ruu, it won't run because you've broken the HTC signature. Id try the wire trick again if I were you.
Question, why did you s-on? I've taken ota's with s-off and as soon as I see the new hboot I just reflash the engineering hboot.
I have ~ the same problem as friend.evil, although he says he can run roms with Sense < 4, (if i understood correctly) while i can not.
I did try the lastest GB (provided by anryl) PG86IMG, with no luck (device always stuck in boot loop), but i do not have any goldcard (nor could i find one for evo 3d, but i did not google for it that much)
I am not sure about what you (anryl) mean by « official pg86img with changed older hboot ? » ?
Would an ICS RUU solve the problem ? I will probably also try to downgrade hboot if no other suggestions pops up =S

I don't mean to be insensitive but if you s-on'd and then took a new ota then youve got a problem on your hands. An older ruu with an older hboot will do you no good as it won't flash unless you change your main version, and even if you do that it won't flash an older hboot, just an older system (gb). You should go ahead and check in to downgrading.

Gotcha, well you should consider downgrading to get s-off. It's much more trouble free than s-on. Are you gsm or cdma?
NVM, dumb question, lol, if you took an ics ota then you're gsm
Edit... After reading your post in the link provided, is say that an ics ruu would fix u up. I'm cdma so I wouldn't know where to find it at.
Thanks for you suggestions… But still, i don't understand why downgrading should be necessary : why would flashing a rom, stock or not be a problem for the bootloader ? Can we not write to system or flash the boot partition anymore (from fastboot, using fastboot flash boot boot.img ?) in 1.53.0007 ?
(And indeed, gsm forgot to mention, sry)

You might be on to something there, some hboots don't accept commands that others do. I would think that if you changed your main version and then ran a gb pg86img, it would get you back to gb but it won't change your hboot.
Have you tried booting a recovery from fastboot with fastboot boot recovery.img?
You can't use radios, ruu's, or the juop s-off method with 1.53. It's like having a locked/unlocked boatloader.

Is there a possibility for a GB ROM to work on hboot 1.53.0007?
Hey Guys,
So I was previously running BulletProof 2.5 ROM and when I heard about the official release I immediately attempted to upgrade it.
I performed the following steps:
1)Relocked phone
2)Flashed the Telus RUU(while phone was connected to computer using the exe file)
*also attempted using the OTA.zip file after renaming it to PH85IMG after RUU flash
3)Unlocked bootloader
4)Flashed 4Ext
5)Flashed SU package
Once I rebooted phone and checked phone info it said I had
v2.3.4
Sense 3.0
Soft 1.41.661.3
Clearly this is the stock OS. Whenever I try to do the PH85IMG the phone freezes at HTC boot screen. I cannot figure this out. I was wondering if it is possible (and if it would work), if someone could create a backup of the OS after the ICS update that I could restore from.
I would really like to get ICS and any help would be appreciated
P.s. I am S-ON.
Thank you
Diogo

My experiences from performing S-Off and flashing RUU with this phone that, offenly I have to re-do / re-flash twice, even three times. Somehow the Amaze is kinda stubborn and it doesn't wanted to obey your command on first order.
Good luck
I tried reflashing multiple times, everytime I go into bootloader I get:

You can't install firmware with that hboot..you either need to relock and use the most recent ruu, or downgrade your hboot to 1.12 and lazy panda for s-off

Thank you for the response. Is the problem the s- on? And if so, can I wait for s-off for hboot 1.5 and then apply the update?

Just run the 1.22 stock recovery, that will wipe twrp. Your update should go right thru. Yes you would need to HTC unlock again. If you can't find 1.22 stock recovery let me know and I can pm you the PJ75IMG when I get home
That would be great if you could PM me that file. Also, could you let me know again what it would affect. Do I just unlock through HTC to get access to the root drive?
Does it also zap all my programs and settings? And if so, would I than install TWRP and flash my latest backup?
Sorry for all the questions, I have been away from the "scene" for too long.
