[Q] Trying to flash clockworknod recovery 5.0.2.8 - Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hoping someone can give some pointers.
I am trying to flash clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.8 to my newly rooted (verified) Legend phone.
LEGEND PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-1.01.0000
When I use the S-ON method I get a verification error, when I use the S-OFF method I get FAILED <remote: not allowed>
Seems to me something might still be locked or perhaps the wrong version of HBOOT. Thing is when I went to the HTCdev site to unlock the boot loader it told me my model was incorrect. My phone tells me the software number is 3.20.666.1 and model number is HTC Legend. When I download the RUU from HTCdev it wants to upgrade the software to 3.30.xxx.x but when I run that RUU it tells me the model number is incorrect (it's looking for a PXXXXXX number). So after doing a bit of research (my first android phone since crackberry addiction) I discovered that my Legend was already S-OFF (security off) so I figured the bootloader was already unlocked when I got the phone refurbished and unlocked. So I ran the unlockroot utility then verified the root with root checker, installed superuser and titanium backup. Everythibng seems fine and I have full root access.
But I am stuck trying to flash clockworknod recovery, can anyone help?

Well, I guess I am going to try to find a way to upgrade my HBOOT to 1.02 and see if that helps. I saw some post in this forum about taking a rom.img file from the RUU download temp folder so I will research that further.
If anyone has any pointers don't hesitate to chime in.

SOLVED : never asked for help -till now

I just bought this flyer 3G version It was working with 2.3.4 when i bought it.
I've searched the entire XDA forum ,modaco and loads of the other sites. Been attempting this for 4 hours straight x 3nights in a row.
I've managed to get Bootloader unlock via HTCdev but still on S-ON because my hboot is 1.11.011 Flashed the Paul obriens modified HC boot 11.11.0011 image. I got revolution CWM and i can get into it but now suddenly fail to adb into it.
FLYER PVT SHI{P

I think my flyer is in limbo.
CID=044 which is the HTC Asia WWE one.
I tried: Installing some custom ROM's as soon as i achieved bootloader unlocked. Tried the latest LOeeDroid etc. BUT they all fail at the HTC boot screen. Even after waiting for 10 mins. Yes I did extract the boot.img and flashed via fastboot due to s-on but still stuck at HTC boot logo.
Ran the RUU's directly from fastboot mode (i just double clicked on the exe from my PC) -HTC Asia WWE . but they all fail on installtion/ signature. RUU_Flyer_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.4_Radio_20.3501.30 .089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_193927_signed RUU_Flyer_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.27.707.1_Radio_20.3504.30 .089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204905_signed RUU_Flyer_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.27.707.2_Radio_20.3504.30 .089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_219276_signed
i tried the rom.zip extraction and renamed it to PG411MG.zip with the hope of the bootloader detecting and running it - it tried to install but failed -signature. I created a goldcard but not used this method yet as i had to format it and now i cant even connect to the PC -its as if it cant detect the device. I will try a ROM that is similar to my radio . But i cant connect to the Flyer -(adb- device not found)
Please help - ill gladly donate to a working solution. I dont know what else to do. I just want to get android working again passing the horrid HTC boot logo. i dont mind stock etc just need my flyer to work.
Been ROMing since HD2
UPDATE: SOLVED
none of the stock RUU I tried installing was successful because I had Unlocked the Bootloader.
All I needed to do was' fastboot oem lock' and it relocked. RUU will only install on locked bootloaders.
While still in fastboot I ran the RUU from my PC and it worked. Installing while tears of joy rolled down my tired eyes.
So I'm now on an older hboot and achieved S-off,rooted and made my flyer into a phone + Bluetooth.
Flash the stock rom
Get a guide on xda about it... Urs any flashing software and u will b alr9

[Q] Evo 3D that hates me!!! ROOT s-OFF and unlock bootloader cant select yes
Hi all, im a newbie to android rooting etc, so please be patient if I dont understand... XD
I will try to give a backround with a very detailed discription for those who might have the same problem, a similar problem or for those trying to help...
so I bought this beast in Feb with stock software on: this was my 1st root, s-off attempt :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130585
1st attempt quote from post
Hi there,
Developers, gonna be developers and android noobs
I got a small issue with mu EVO 3d GSM...
Firstly Id like to apologize if this has been asked...
Problem: I need to get past BOOTLOADER BLOCK !!!
Before you carry on reading -
Bought this phone online, from China, Original HTC!!! but with 1 or 2 chinese apps installed, Android 2.3.4...
This was standard when I first entered bootloader (out of the box)
***LOCKED***
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
HBOOT-1.49.0012
RADIO-10.13.9020.08_2M
eMMC-boot
What is suprising is it needed to say Locked and s-on...
So I wanted to root and s-off...
Tried Revolutionary... Everything ran well, after 2nd reboot into bootloader, error - Communications between phone and PC has been interrupted
After that I retried and it said - 'Your device is already s-off' then it wanted to download and install CWM Recovery 4.0.142 Revolutionary...
HTCDEV - Step 13 didnt happen, it just stayed on the normal bootloader screen (in Fastboot USB)
Flashed a earlier version of HBOOT (1.49.007) before Revolutionary ROOT method(revolutionary didnt support HBOOT 1.49.0012), i noticed everytime i 'completed' revolutionary method with error, my HBOOT changed to 1.49.1107 for some reason, IDK
Now my bootloader setup is:
***Revolutionary***
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
HBOOT-1.49.1107
RADIO-10.13.9020.08_2M
eMMC-boot
In CWM Recovery - I flashed SU.zip, it removed /bin and /xbin, and wanted to start copying or rooting file and then showed an error msg 'installation aborted', booted into ROM and SU app requested SU access???
BTW... downloaded and tried 3 RUU's all 3 for 3d of course and all 3 gave the same error - MODEL ID ERROR (i need the correct model) and in fastboot...
Use same Rev code : fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlcok_code.bin
Half the time it is done successfully but with no disclaimer screen (stays on fastboot) and changes hboot to 1107
OR
Gives error (Remote : Partition no avaiblable) or (Remote : not allowed)
Try fastboot oem lock, Doesnt lock and same result as mentioned above and every now and then it says loading custom splash sceen failed, htc disclaimer screen???
If anyone has had this problem or similar, please help, I would really appreciate it
Thnks in advance!!!
END
Now, Ive got a similar problem,
HBoot
1.58.5858 Jpbear
Unlocked
So I flashed the RUU_Shooter_U_TWM_TW_1.23.921.5_Radio_10.55.9020.00_10.13.9020.29_M_release_207920_signed.exe, it was the closest I could find with HBoot 1.49.0012 and gb 2.3.4...
Okay, np it flashed it with no problems... but little did I know, I lost root, bootloader relocked with disclaimer screen and lost s-off... Im buggered
So after messing around including almost bricking my phone, flashing new hboots, trying htcdev unlock with rogers, EMEA and sprint, no luck...
The only result is it showing the disclaimer screen (as mentioned in 1st boot attempt) that i cant select yes...
I tried flashing recovery, however when I flash recovery, it either hangs with HTC screen for a min or two then reboots or just hangs there forever...
Somewhere along the line I tried booting into Android and it jut boot in fastboot, for some unknown reason it also didnt pickup the PG86IMG.zip file I had on, it actually didnt pickup and PG86IMG files???
I also came across writesecureflag 3 in fastboot, gave it a try and it gave me a ***security warning***...
After that, I coud flash a PG86IMG but when I tried the htcdev unlock, I select ye, no response, removed battery and it said ***unlocked***, but when I flash a recovery, it flashes recovery in cmd but cant boot into it or it just doesnt flash onto the phone???
Somehow in between all of this I could get past the "yes" in unlock bootloader which was pure luck of the joy of the moment made me forget what I did before, I also tried flashing these RUU's
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

RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.28.707.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_264110_signed
When booted in TWN-TW RUU, I could install Rom manager and flash CWM through that but through fastboot, it didnt boot through it
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img
RESULT: hangs on htc screen for a min or 2 then reboot into OS
Now im currrently on Asia ICS, hboot jbear 1.58.5858, htc recovery...
And in want of root, s-off, and most important able to Unlock Bootloader by selecting yes with a response,
please ANY help would be of use
thnx in advance
Its not much but will have a small paypal reward for those who helped (btw it will prob help others aswel)

wow, you got a used or refurbished 3d which was already s-off. if you had posted before doing anything ,all you needed to do was flash a recovery and flash su zip. When you have s-off with custom hboot, like you had, you cannot unlock through htcdev and you don't have to. S-off with custom hboot means you can already flash any hboot ,recovery,Rom ,kernel or any mods.
You never needed HTC dev unlock.
you said.you are s-on with jbear.hboot? I.don't think.that's possible ,.check again if it's s-off or s-on . If it's s-on then it cannot be jbear.
You never lost s-off when you ran the RUU, you lost s-off by running the write secureflag command . It was your luck you were on stock.hboot , if you were on custom one,your evo 3d was dead for sure. Now flash the RUU that is made for your phone. then follow instructions from unlimited.io or ramjet73's thread , flash recovery then su zip. If you want another Rom you can directly flash that Rom without su.
Again, you never needed the htcdev. But now you will need it for the wire trick.
Thnx for responding, u made my day xD

So, okay, I messed around abit more, not as if I could do any further damage besides bricking LOL
So this is my position and will leave it till next response...
***Relocked*** (can unlock, relock np because of s-on, if s-off, I cant, it just hangs after selecting yes, no response)
HBoot 1.49.0012
I have fastboot and OS access,
cant flash recovery or zip, etc, can change cid
Hboot doesnt read PG86IMG.zip files at all,
Goes through PG86... list, hangs 2 sec on PG86IMG.zip, says checking or parsing PG86IMG.zip for less than a sec then 'cancels', goes to hboot screen
Rev tool does not work
1st attempt - (1st line)Zerging root...
result- Cannot aquire root
for 2nd consecutive to 3,4,5,etc attempt
- goes to 2nd line in rev tool,
result gives error Communications with phone stopped,
When flashing recovery, it flashes perfectly, when fastboot boot recovery.img or hboot>recovery, hangs for a while then reboots
So flashing files through fastboot is a no go (generally gives error > remote:not allowed)
Thus conclusion, im considering the downgrade/unbrick method but It doesnt pickup and PG86IMG files (check exact speeling p.s. have done this alot)
I did a day ago aquire root, 4ext recovery but wanted unlock boot loader, so s-on, the only way to unlock, then got myself to this delema, stupid I know :silly:
So if you have any tricks up your sleeve, let me know please and thnx

[Q] So, help?

I'm not sure how, but my device is bricked, I can get to HTC screen but nowhere beyond that. I was rooted, bootloader unlocked (HTCDev method), S-ON, HBOOT 2.09, had TWRP but it was somehow erased from the device. I have re locked the bootloader to try to try and revert to stock RUU but I can't find correct version anywhere. WHAT DO I DO?! I can provide any additional info you need to help me.
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like a similar issue that somebody else recently had. You can try unlocking again and pushing recovery to your phone to see if that fixes the issue. There is no RUU for software version 3.16. Viperboy has a RUU tool for software version 3.16, but it requires you to be S-off in order to use it.

If you can still talk to the device with adb/fastboot commands, then you may be able to use the BabyRacun instructions to load the 3.15 RUU. I finally achieved S-OFF today after going through the process as described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341275, which specifically describes a flash to the 3.15 RUU.

RUU won't take, can access fastboot and recovery.

Converted an M7ATT to GPE - the owner wants it back to stock. I don't know how (probably an OTA) but S-ON got re-enabled and bootloader is locked. I tried unlocking it via HTCDev but it won't take.
-AT&T M7
-GPE fastboot/bootloader
-GPE Recovery
-Bootlooping as soon as it hits Android
-S-On / Locked(tampered) bootloader
When I try an RUU exe, it just says device not found. When I try it via rom.zip / commandline, it just says FAILED (status read failed (Too many links)).
Any suggestions?

Have you tried to re s-off?
I believe the firewater and romrunner tools in the int. One forums should be able to s-off that hboot.
I haven't personally gone s-off, but my understanding is that once s-off you can change your sid (super sid maybe?) And run just about any ruu.
Search up on that stuff.

you will have to s-off to repair the phone or hope for a new GPE RUU
whats the fastboot getvar all results (minus the serial no and IMEI )
I see a few mistakes. First, never go S-On and/or lock the bootloader once they've been unlocked. There's no reason for this unless returning to stock for warranty purposes. And if you do, ensure the phone has the software it's supposed to (AT&T in this case).
Secondly, if you have GPE, you must downgrade to hboot 1.44 first. And to do this, you must be S-Off.
Since the phone is currently S-On, the course of action depends on what is on the phone. If your CID is currently GOOGL001 or 11111111, try flashing the latest GPE RUU to restore the phone to working condition. Then go to HTCDev and unlock the bootloader. After that, you can use Firewater to S-Off.
Assuming all is successful, search for and flash hboot 1.44, then change the CID to CWS__001 (that's two underscores) and flash an AT&T RUU. And whatever you do, don't go S-On or lock the bootloader again. There's nothing to be gained by doing this.
If you're returning the phone to AT&T software because the person didn't like GPE (which I don't blame them), use the Dev Edition. By far the best choice to get the same Sense version of Android without all of the AT&T sh*tware. And things like AT&T Visual Voicemail work, along with any other AT&T app if the person wanted to download it from the Play Store for free.
Good luck.

Hello guys, new on unlocking androids and these things, I want to learn and get more involved in this community.
For now I just gotta a problem and can't find the answer over the internet. My problem is that I wanna buy the best buy at&t blue htc one m7, but I will be using in Colombia in another network, do I need to buy a plan in the USA to get the best buy version?, or just pay the 200 dollars and that's it?. Is it easy to unlock it and make it work in Colombia?, there is an unlocked at&t blue on amazon but they charge me a hundred dollars more, is it worth it?
Sorry for being a little lost here,

I'm trying to unlock & S-off my new phone. Maybe someone can help? Android 4.1.2 HBoot 1.44

installed weaksause & superSU to get root
tried revone a few more times

Is there anything specific to AT&T devices that I'm missing? (I'll post in the revone thread or start a new one if I can't get it)
Thx

You need to use Rumrunner to s-off your phone
I ran this RUU first then rumrunner
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe
install custom rom
I got mine today.
hboot 1.55
unlocked bootloader, installed 2.8 twrp, rooted, and s-off
android ver 4.3
software ver 3.17.502.3
radio: 4T.20.3218.13
to install the maximushd 46 or any custom rom, do I just download the zip and install from SDcard?
or is it much easier to update the stock rom to 4.4.2 (any directions will be greatly appreciated)
I am such a newbie please bear with me.
I bought a blue one a few days ago, love it, but had trouble getting S-Off. I bought it to use on T-Mobile. I submitted an unlock request to AT&T through their website and am waiting on a reply. If that fails I'll just buy an unlock code. I wish I would have found this thread sooner.
hboot 1.55
android ver 4.3
software ver 3.17.502.3
radio: 4T.20.3218.13
Unlocked bootloader with htcdev.com no problem. Flashed custom recovery with twrp 2.8.74.0-m7 and root with UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.
I could not for the life of me get revone or rumrunner to work, revone -P would fail (even as su), rumrunner would say cleaning skunky rum and have a progress bar where it would request su (granted it) and fail. I tried firewater and it wouldn't run after being pushed to the device. After that I used SunShine ($25) and that was painless and finally got S-Off.
I changed the CID to T-MOB010, I also used MID_Change_1.01 to set MID to PN0713000 (under custom recovery). I was able to flash TMOUS_3.24.531.3 Zip, bringing it to factory recovery, and it did a few OTAs being around 600MB each bringing it to TMOUS_6.10.531.10. For fun I tried to install TMOUS_6.10.531.10 Exe, and it wouldn't continue unless the CID was 11111111.
To switch back to AT&T, I set CID CWS__001 and MID PN0712000 (under custom recovery), flash Cingular_US_3.17.502.3 Zip and I can then flash Cingular_US_3.17.502.3 Exe but not Cingular_US_4.18.502.7 Exe. I can't seem to get any OTA with 3.17.502.3 but I don't have a valid AT&T sim card. I'm pretty new to this stuff and I'll probably just stick to the GPE 5.0.1 Zip (works great).
