Hey All,
I am trying to install the OTA for ICS that was released by Rogers today for my EVO 3D.
I am rooted and unlocked but with the stock Rogers ROM and I also have S-OFF.
The problem I am running into is that I am able to download the upgrade but when I go into HBoot and try to apply it I get a signature verification failed.
Originally I thought it might have been a bad download so I downloaded it a 2nd time, same result.
So I thought, what the hell, I will turn off the signature check and try it again. This time I get an error that the 'assert failed: check_cid(getprop("ro.cid").' and the installation aborted.
Does anyone have any insight into why this would fail? I am hoping to apply this but not sure why its a no go.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Cheers, Crash
Have you ever changed your cid? run "fastboot getvar cid" and post what it says. If your cid is original for rogers, the ota may not be working because you are s-off.
Hey @patrick92260
I have not checked my CID, not really sure how actually.
In order for me to run that command I would have to be hooked up to ADB I assume? If so thats going to need to wait until I get home tonight to try that and give you the results, unless there is another way I can run that command?
Thx for the reply
Yeah it's done through ADB. If you don't really know what the cid is, you probably haven't changed it. If you have the stock recovery, then the reason the ota isn't working has to be because you are s-off. you will probably have to wait for an RUU to upgrade to ICS.
Makes sense then. Would setting S-ON make it so I can apply it? Or would that not be worth the effort?
Honestly I can wait a bit longer, we have been waiting this long for it
Thx for the help.
But you should be able to get back to S-ON by flashing Gingerbread RUU, no?
If you originally used revolutionary to get s-off, then you have radio s-off which is the highest level of s-off you can have and i would not recommend trying to set it back to s-on. i also have a rogers evo 3d and i am using the asian RUU ICS and it works fine while letting me keep s-off after flashing it so i would recommend using that RUU if you want ICS.

If he has radio s-off you can flash any RUU you want and it will not turn it back to s-on. Radio s-off is basically permanent since it removes the data in the S58 section of the phone. The fake s-off is the one you need to be careful with which is usually done by using a hacked hboot.

Bull**** Bull**** Bull****.
For getting OTA you need NOT rooted and NOT deodexed Stock-rom+stock recovery.
Don't try to make S-ON, it is great chance to brick the phone.
And your CID you can get with cid getter from the market.
Patrik, stop it plz.
Is there any risk or advantage to used to Asia one? Not sure I want to have that one my phone over the NA ones.
Would there not be a RUU or this Rogers release? Maybe I should just say the hell with it and just ROM it?

It's a toss up if the RUU for rogers or the europe ICS ever shows up here. I am using the asian one and don't really notice any difference over the rogers or europe update. If you have radio s-off you can always downgrade by flashing a gingerbread RUU if you don't like the asian ICS RUU.
I had to run the Rogers gb ruu 1.20.631.2. It then update to 631.3 when I checked for updates. I then booted checked for updates again and it updated to ics. Now I'm running official Rogers ics but as I said I had to roll all the way back 1.20.631.2 and update all the way up from there.
And it does update the hboot but you can downgrade it with ruu previously mentioned.

Somewhere in the development thread there is a thread with shipped ruus already covered to pg86img.zip. Just find the Rogers one and put it on the root of your sd card and boot into bootloader. It will detect it and install 1.20.631.2 then just manually check for updates under about phone. The first update should be 1.20.631.3 which is 9.35mb then xcheck again and it's the ics update around 306 mb. Sorry I can't link to it you'll have to search the development forum. I've had it since it was posted way back when on my phone.
Make sure it's renamed PG86IMG.zip

Ive tried to do this, after downloading it and putting it in the root directory of my phone. Hboot sees the image, stalls there for a few seconds then continues. nothing has happened. Ive tried installing it from CWM, no difference. I think i may need a bit more help then this. After it was detected, i did go and see if it was downgraded in the ABOUT, but it sits at .3 still.
Any ideas?
Okay, so for those people out there that are looking to do this, here's the functional way it worked for me (no errors, nothing happened during the update)
Download the .exe file,
EXECUTE the exe file from windows while the phone is plugges in. This will revert back to .2
Put phone into a wireless network once back up and running.
Update the phone as neccessary.
After the update, i noticed my Hboot when to 1.53.007. Now we just need to wait for a root.
Also, when i went into Recovery from Hboot, i noticed that it didnt do anything, sat there with a pic of my 3D and it had a red exclamation point. should that happen?
no luck
hi i have tried every method here with no go. i have s-on and phone is rooted. can some one post a working rom or something for the love of android!
looks like it was the bootloader it needs to be relocked using rootevo3dnew.zip. which will allow you to downgrade using the ruu file in windows. followed by the 2 updates in about phone and i got the ICS yay! if you have trouble search youtube for the video on "relocking evo 3d bootloader" it was easy, good luck ppl.

Hey everyone, I am unable to unlock my bootloader after accepting this OTA. I just got an EVO 3D yesterday and I updated it as soon as I got it. I first checked to see if it was an HBOOT below 1.5, it wasn't so I went ahead and updated. However when i get to step 12 i believe on the htc dev site, I flash the unlock_code.bin and nothing happens just sits there. I read around and found people saying you need to take the 2.08 RUU, I tried that and when it gets to the black HTC screen I get an error 140. I was so excited to get this phone and already downloaded the rom i wanted before owning it. If someone can please help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks

Same here.
The same RUU I used to revert to the .2sw update to unlock two other evo3d's with hboot 1.5, will not work. Im unbelievably frustrated right now as Ive been sitting at this computer for over three hours. Please, if you find a way to downgrade your software, please let me know. thanks
not sure why you wanted to be on hboot 1.50. but shouldnt be a problem to unlock the bootloader, since it was just minor updates and still on hboot 1.50. id just try doing the process again.
i unlocked mine with unlock_code.bin that i used when i rooted my evo 3d for 1st time.....it worked fine.
Tried 5 times and failed..

I didn't want to be on hboot 1.5, I wanted to be below it. But when I first got my phone I checked the bootloader and was already at 1.5. If it was below that I would've been rooted right now...
to be a bit more clear it was hboot 1.5 with an OTA 2.08 when I first received the phone.

1st Check you bootloader .What it says at the top .(locked/unlocked/relocked) if it says unlocked you do not need unlock_code.bin.
Try these from step 13:

That's the guide I used to HTC Unlock. Video helped. There is a post somewhere about needing to Re-flash the stock RUU.exe or Ruu.zip (renamed to PG86IMG.zip) to get the phone past the "nothing happens" step where you're supposed to get the "unlock" option screen on the phone. I haven't seen the 651.5 released as a complete RUU, but you could probably flash the 651.3 RUU, finish the HTC unlock and then run the 651.5 update. Heck, the unlock would probably work after the update, idk for sure.
I have some links and my issue with this below.

Thank your for all the help. However I tried doing what is said in these links, I ran the 2.08.651.3 RUU and at the black HTC screen I get the error 140. Can I downgrade OTA's or no? Cuz that what it looks like I have to do here.

I have some tools and files for you to use that will give you temp root and allow a downgrade to 2.08.651.2 rom, hboot will still be 1.50 though. However from there you should be able to unlock via HTCdev method. I gotta upload the files and write the code which I will post up here in a second. I hope you are ok with using adb and fastboot.
Ok here goes. Since the ics leak came out i can only assume that the Official update cant be that far behind. i have been reading the S-off and the Ics leak threads for about an hour or so now. and i have come to the following understanding: if i dont s off before installing the leak ( or even installing the official that ia on its way) then there is a chance i could never get s off.
So these are my questions
1. What are the advantages of having s-off
2. Should i just Root and s-off as soon as the phone comes in order to be sure i will have s-off
Sorry if these questions are "noob questions" and thank you in advance
You could wait for the official update which won't require you to root your phone or have S-OFF. T-Mobile hasn't released a date on when the update will come, but I'm sure it'll be when the One S is released. After I just updated to the leaked version my phone is no longer rooted and my bootloader is locked again, but I still have S-OFF

Well Having S-off allows you more control over your phone. you can flash radios, Eng/Mod Hboot images and have access to basically all partitions. if you upgrade to ICS before getting S-off you may only be able to have htc unlocked.

I think my problem was that I had a custom Rom installed like you stated somewhere else. So to anyone trying to update from a custom Rom you might have to have S-Off. Otherwise try reverting back to stock and updating it.

Ok, I am new at this whole thing. I have a stock HTC Amaze 4G and LOVE this phone. I have downloaded the file to my SD card and have followed all of the instructions. HOWEVER, before I scroll up to UPDATE in HBOOT mode, or whatever it is called, I need to know if everything is working ok on the phone? I don't want to brick my $550 phone and it only be used as paper weight. Will this update void the exchange warranty on the device? Please advise. Thank you!

Let me make sure I am clear here. If I reboot the phone, push down POWER and VOLUME down, it will go through the process then ask me if I want to update/upgrade. When I push the VOLUME UP button, it will update...yes...but did you experience any problems? IF something goes horribly wrong, am I able to revert back to the stock OS?

Ideally that's what would happen. The only problem I experienced was that it just wouldn't update when I didn't have S-Off it would find the update start unpacking it, fail, then just boot to gingerbread. I also noticed after a failed attempt like that I'd have to recopy the ph85img.zip file to my sdcard, the old one seemed to have been corrupted. There's always a risk associated with flashing non-official roms and updates to your phone. If you don't want to void your warranty It's probably better that you wait for the official update.

I think you are right! I have read reports the update should hit when the new One S goes on sale, WHICH is tomorrow. So, hopefully T-Mobile will push out the OTA tomorrow or this week. Thank you for your advice on this.
According to TMONEWS.com the amaze is scheduled for 6/16.
The Official Tmobile ICS update for the Amaze is finally out (May 21st). My question is very similar the OP. My phone has never been rooted, it has S-on and I finally received the notification for ICS update. My question is can I still get S-off after I do the OTA ICS update? OR should I get S-off first then upgrade to ICS?
Rasco702 yes you can still S-Off your device. There are 2 methods of the Juopunutbear S-Off Method. One for Gingerbread and one for ICS. Even if you wanted to soff while in gingerbread you can flash the RUU for ICS.

It's Better To Fail At Originality
Than To Succeed In Imitation.
--------------------------------
I have a rooted and S-on Evo. The RUU keeps failing, even after I unrooted via the Superuser app.
Keep getting “ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR” and then it says it can not update the phone.
And then “Please get the correct ROM update utility and try again.”
I am definitely using the correct RUU version. 1.22.651.3.
Also I have tried two different computers and two different USB cables.
Does anyone know how to get this thing working?
if you updated to the latest OTA update; that usually updates your radios and your Hboot which means the old RUU won't work because it has an OLDER HBoot and radios. Your gonna have to wait till the new OTA becomes available as an RUU to be able to go back to stock.
if you didn't take the OTA 2.13 and you are still on 1.22 then try putting your phone on Fastboot and try it that way.
Edit: Ok so it looks like the latest RUU has been uploaded. Look here http://www.filefactory.com/f/b6eb73c80cc97030/
Thanks, I will try fastboot.
However, as I said in the OP, I am on the same version (1.22.651.3) as the RUU I am using...

I ran into the same error 155 issue.
I found the solution and it's quite simple. In the instructions to unroot, they forget to mention that you MUST relock your bootloader (instructions below). Once you relock it, then you can run the RUU for 1.22.651.3.....after that, take the stock OTA update.

running "fastboot oem lock" yields "waiting for device," and this stays on the screen forever. It doesn't work...
OK, finally got it to lock. Now, trying to see if I can get that RUU to work...it seems to be working. I think the issue was that I was not properly in fastboot mode.
So my plan is this:
RUU
OTA (to get the latest kernel and such)
Root/Unlock

Congrats!
That's my plan, except I'm keeping the stock ROM. If you find a way to Root, let me know - I tried RegawMOD, but I could not get it to work

OK, finally got it to lock. Now, trying to see if I can get that RUU to work...it seems to be working. I think the issue was that I was not properly in fastboot mode.
So my plan is this:

I would highly suggest NOT taking the OTA...
The reason they now have a new h-boot is because there was a vulnerability in the old one.
Simply flash a new ROM based on the lastest OTA.

That's not always true, and almost all new major releases come with a new hboot. In fact I can't remember any updates on my 0g evo, evo 3d, and evo LTE, that didn't come with a new hboot. The fact of the matter is, people that are s-on and hboot 1.15 won't be able to upgrade their radios and firmware unless they take the ota or run the ruu. This update makes the phone fly and is worth it.
On the other post, regaw mod does work with unlocking and installing twrp, you will have to install a rooted rom afterwards though because regaw mod fails at the rooting step.

Sweet this is actually the point where I'm at. HTC Dev unlocked, s-on, hboot 1.15 and rocking twrp. I've been trying to parse through all of the numerous posts on a method to go ahead and install the ota updates. I actually believe I'm 2 down as I haven't updated ever and I got the phone @ launch. I recall reading somewhere that just going back to the stock recovery is a viable option if I want to go w/ the ota updates. I don't really have any interest in different ROMs (I scratch that itch w/ my evo 3d).
tl;dr Whats the least painful way to install the OTA updates post HTC Dev unlock, s-on, twrp recovery, and hboot 1.15?
Hello everyone Im hoping someone can help me with a problem I'm having :/ . I want to go back to stock but I can't find the right ruu. I got a refurbished phone from VM and it came with 1.58 and radio 1.09 and flashed the nega rom but I want to go back to stock but everytime it says error when trying to ruu the phone. Can someone help me find the right ruu or tell me what I'm doing wrong? Ohh and I'm s-on.
Anyone? im almost crying of how fed up trying to find the problem ! :/ i cant find the fastboot drivers for the phone either

There is no RUU available yet that will work with the 2.95 update installed which is apparently how you go the phone. You can either get S-OFF and then flash the original RUU and take the two OTA updates, or try flashing one of the stock ROM's in this post. If you want to go back to almost 100% stock and unrooted you will need to flash the unrooted version of the stock ROM and then flash the stock recovery.
The one thing that won't be stock in that scenario is the bootloader since if you lock it the status will show "relocked" rhater than "locked".

I want to thank you for replying !!! ive seen many posts and you are like a god of the Htc evo 3d ! Im trying to get s off with jbear but i get the error message " connect device and install drivers" i think it might be the fastboot but not sure can you help me with that?

You need to install the HTC drivers. Which version of Windows are you using?
Getting S-OFF with hboot 1.58 installed is still uncharted territory for VM users. I suggest you check out the related threads in this forum and post there for help since there are a lot of Evo V 4G users there that can help. They are actually looking for someone in your situation who is willing to try getting S-OFF so I'm sure you will get lots of help.

How did you do it?

I flashed viper Rom (don't remember which one) and that gave me stock kernel. Then, I downloaded a .zip file with the drivers to the phone and used the jbear program to s-off. Then , I put 1.04.200 hboot and used the ruu to bring me back to stock. Updated my phone and I am all good. If I get all the folders together might make a tutorial on how to get s-off even after taking the OTS updates on s-on. Or prob. You can hel0 me ramjet73?

Well, we already have guides on both XDA and androidforums.com and the unlimited.io developers that created JuopunutBear have gotten very sensitive about having instructions posted in other places.
I'm curious how you did the wire trick since the Windows downloads are no longer on the unlimited.io website. Did you use an existing guide? At this point we are just trying to figure out what is the best version of JBear to use after VM users have installed the March OTA and have hboot 1.58.
ramjet73
I'm not sure ? I have the folder though , I can send it to you and you can take a look at it?

Yea, just for the jbear portion. I'd appreciate it if you can zip it up and upload it to dropbox or similar and PM the link to me.
As I said, at this point we are just trying to determine which jbear version works best with the Evo V updated to the March OTA and hboot 1.58. If the most effective process warrants a new guide I will be happy to work with you on that.

Program I used to S-OFF
I dont think its letting me send the link to the program i used. Can I post it here?
Hello, I desperately would like to see how to put my HTC Amaze back to stock. A couple of months ago I tried putting it back to stock because the energy rom kept rebooting on me and draining my battery life randomly. Anyways I was not successful and so I just kept the rom and the rebooting problems stopped anyways. Now, its happening again and I would really love for some one to help me get it back to stock so I can see if it improves and maybe get the thing S-OFF later. I am with Wind mobile.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
A frustrated amaze user.

Hey thanks for the response. So I locked the bootloader and then got the wind RUU renamed it as PH85img.zip or w/e its supposed to be. And now when in the boot screen it cannot find my file I then tried another RUU but this time is used the exe wind one but that one failed as well and came up as an error saying the hboot version is older then what im flashing or something?
So I am stuck at this point. Do you know how to get around this?
Make sure the ruu is on the root of the sd card

Yeah it was connected via usb. I got somewhere, now but im am hoping you can tell me what i need to do now. I followed the second post here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167596 and now I have GB rom on my phone running unlocked. What do I need to do from here so I can S-off and super CID? PS I tried doing an OTA update from the phone and it wont work.
Looking into the S-off guide it says i must be on a stock RUU. is the one i got install a stock RUU. Also my hboot version is 1.93.0002 (Mar 15 2012) which is ice cream sandwich according to the Unlimited.IO site, but the RUU im on is definitely gingerbread. What can I do about this?

What is your android version in settings?? Cuz what your telling is kinda weird

am I completely screwed now? Cause it seems i wont be able to get S-off or CID off while not on this unsigned rom (t-mobile), i am with Wind. The OTA does not work while on the phone (settings > software update). Would locking my bootloader and then loading the latest OTA zip from wind on the SD card work? I am very stuck!

well choice is yours your android version says GB hboot says ICS :/ i say try the GB s-off tool but do at your own risk...
well S-Off worked so thats good haha. Now i am trying to super CID. However, when uploading the proper hboot for doing so it wont let me because of the CID.
Ignore that last post. I figured it out so all is good. Now here is another question, should i flash CM10.1 or your rom that viper one? How would I go about flashing a rom. I remembered before you would just go into recovery and then format all execpt sd card and then install from zip. I tried that with the CM10.1 rom and when I rebooted it did not work.
went ahead and tried installing the Viper rom and after i reboot (when it said all was good) it show a black screen with green arrows. And its stuck on that. I do not know what to do now. Because I should have everything open. Was I supposed to flash something after doing the S-OFF?
This is what I am getting stuck on. I tried another rom too, same thing. I can boot into 4ext. But cant get past this on boot up.
