I was running cleanrom 3.7 and decided to relock the bootloader and flash the new RUU. I used the all in one rezound tool to re-lock the bootloader and now I'm stuck in the stock recovery. No matter what I do I can't get out of it. It says the the bootloader is relocked. I'm trying to flash the RUU leak but it wont recognize it, instead of looking for PH98IMG.zip its looking for PH98DIAG.zip. I assure you I'm no noob but sure as hell fell like one right now. Any help please.
Edit. Problem solved. Not sure how but it finally read the PH98IMG file right.

thats what it says, i downloaded the s-off tool after i had this problem. i can get into fastboot and Hasoon's tool v2 works for caommands as far as reboot and what not. the s-off tool wont work because i need it to be able to boot. im thinking if i can just get a RUU and maybe get it to reboot into whatever the first white screen is called with the details from above, then it should flash and boot so i can start over....... the whole process here is similar to the one i used from when i had the HTC Inspire 4G. it was all included in one bundle tho.
and flashing a kernel is a nogo. tried that and its still looping on the HTC screen
also, nope i didnt flash a ruu yet. it was on 2.3.4 before i started.
im looking for a ruu right now

So...
all you have to do is fastboot flash a boot image.
Since you are S-On and trying to flash a rom ment for S-Off, you can run this rom, but you will need to pull the boot img from the rom and fastboot flash boot boot.img the boot.img file.
Plenty of threads on how to do this. Search button is your friend.
Just s-off now so you don't have to worry about fastboot boot.img files ever again
i cant get it to boot period to get the s-off to work....
so, say i have the miui rom and i unzip it, after i do and look into the folder, teh boot.img, its the first one? fo i need to rename it? also, i just put it in the root of the external then reboot bootloader? when i do that it says a bunch of looking for pm98 something or another...... wait a minute, i think i just answered my own question.... brb
s-off only requires the phone to be able to get into fastboot.
if you can get to the bootloader you're good.

Not true it needs root as well
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
so i downloaded stock rooted 3.13.605.7 and the boot img.
which one do i flash first? flash teh img in bootloader then flash the rom in recovery? or the other way around?
nvm. found it thru google. droid-guru.com had a thing saying img then rom. waiting on this stock rooted deal to finish booting and then ill charge the batteries( got two) and then restart the s-off and whatnot. thanks all
got it all going thanks to a guy named "hyuh" on the IRC freenode support for teh s-off deal... now on to the miui or some other sense 4.0
thank all of you for answering any thing

But i do not have the stock recovery and unsure how to get it.
I tried skipping the step and just going from re-locking phone to updating from bootloader but I get a CID incorrect error.
Any help is appreciated, I have never had so much trouble updating a ROM
PS.
I wasn't aware so much was needed to upgrade from my BulletProof ROM to this ROM, I just flashed like I would have before and now I am in an HTC Boot loop

I went through that, but the RUU is an exe, or do I rename the OTA zip file to PH85IMG.
When I went through this process it loaded PH85IMG, did the check and then nothing. Never asked me to update or anything. I wouldn't have posted to ask for help if I didn't need it.

No. Connect your phone and flash the EXE. PH85IMG is ONLY for T-Mobile Users. Everyone else uses an EXE.
LMAO some things never change
Good luck with ICS

Thanks for your help! I have never felt like such a noob....I swear I am actually good with tech lol
So I managed to get my phone flashed, thanks for all of your help, but I thought the flash was suppose to upgrade me to ICS, but it installed a stock 2.3.4 I am so confused. After flashing the EXE am I suppose to use the OTA.zip? If so, from what I am reading I need to S-OFF.
I tried installing CM9 after the flash and I am able to boot, but once its loads and begins the initial setup it freezes on the Select Language screen and reboots. I have searched the forum and no luck.
hey forum
i really need some help now. i have a gsm evo 3d unlocked up and running a custom rom (nonsense). now i want to return to stock, ive tried flashing the ruu for several times, but each time it says bootloader version error. so i guessed that i have to downgrade my hboot version from 1.53.0007 to something 1.49.007 or similiar. i just cant get it to work, neither with flashmaniacs way, or the manual way. in bootloader when loading the PG86IMG ist says version older update fail.each time i fail i reunlock the bootloader, so atleast i can use my phone. the worst and most foolish part of me: no nandroid backup. so i recognize my fault.
Do you have the newest ruu.exe for your region/carrier? Once you get it, boot into bootloader, connect to computer (should say fastboot usb), lock bootloader, then run ruu. That should put you at stock.
Test shooter u ruu for ics?

Have you relocked your bootloader before flashing ruu? Bootloader must locked or relocked if you want to flash stock soft. I've flashed RUU named:
RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed

yes i relocked my bootloader each time i tried to flash. thanks alot! ive been looking for a ICS ruu for quite some while, gonna download it and try it out. hope itll work out fine.
the ones i downloaded from the filefactory link somehow didnt work, dont know why.
i really appreciate your help, thanks guys
it worked, im back to stock, so it was the old ruu which created problems. thanks
Alright I will try to recap what ive done today. I Was rooted with s-off via the thunderbolt tool and had the new ICS rom installed and running fine. But I decided to sell it so I used the thunderbolt tool to unroot and return to stock.
All was going well then in the boot-loader the update failed and i got stuck with boot-loader locked security warning, which would not let me do anything, was stuck in the boot-loader.
After some searching I found a link to unlock the boot-loader via htcdev to fix the security warning and allowed me to finally boot back into the rom but the phone kept shutting down after it booted up past the thunderbolt screen. So after searching I found this link http://www.thunderboltforums.com/forum/htc-thunderbolt-help/7853-how-fix-security-warning.html and used the 2nd method to fix it since I still have a custom recovery on the phone. Now my problem is I am once again trying to get s-off through the thunderbolt tool like it says in the guide but every time I use the tool it says Starting up... and does nothing. Bascially im now stuck with s-on and an unlocked boot-loader. oh I tried to relock the bootloader but it just gives me a security warning again and im stuck in the bootloader again.
Any Ideas?
Alright never-mind I just used the Revolutionary 0.4 program and gained "revolutionary" in the pink field and s-off again so im good there again.
The thunderbolt tool is still stuck at "starting up"..., is there another way to get the tbolt back to stock condition?

If you have S-off then just grab a stock RUU (easiest probably gingerbread) and flash the RUU in hboot. This will completely return your phone to stock as well as unroot you. If you wish to keep root then flash a leaked RUU that someone put up.

If you're already rooted go to the development section and download the new radio and put it on the root of your sd card, rename it to PG05IMG.zip, reboot into the bootloader. The bootloader will automatically scan for the update and ask it you want to update. Select yes. Once it is finished and the phone boots back up. Use a file manager to browse to the radio and rename it. Then download and flash the official ics build. Don't confuse it with the leak. The leak is a worthless piece of crap and doesn't come close to how much better the ota is.

Hey everyone. I've been on Neo's Infection 2.4. Wanted to try out Eclipze rom so I relocked bootloader, grabbed the latest ruu I could find, renamed it to whatever it was (PH98 something or other) and put that on my sd card. I rebooted into fastboot and it goes through the process of updating but then I get the error message. At the top of the fastboot screen it says hboot: 2.28. Is there another ruu somewhere that I don't know about. I'm downloaded a 4.03 ruu, is there a newer one I don't know about or am I pretty well screwed?

Hem... that's the current bootloader. Are you s-on or off ?

I'm S-On. I downloaded the PH98 file again thinking maybe it was bad, but no dice. I get the same error message. I can't get anything to boot. I was able to flash a recovery so I flashed Infection 2.5 but I keep getting stuck at the Android looking screen (yes boot.img was flashed in fastboot). I flashed a couple different ICS roms but none of them boot up. I figured if I could get back to stock I would just go s-off and be done with it but I think this phone is done.
Edit: Gave the phone to a friend of mine who is much better at this stuff than I am. Maybe he can figure it out. Thanks for the help
Hm, if you flashed the kernel you should be able to boot up.
If you're s-on and on hboot 2.28 there's no RUU as of yet you can run. There's a stock OTA ROM of the lates OTA in the dev section you can run that and see if that helps. You probably can s-off on that but don't take my word for it, especially since you're on 2.28 hboot.
I would make a nandroid before so you can always get back to that if needed.
If you really want to run an RUU you need to s-off, but confirm that it's still going to work on the latest OTA before trying it.
