I recently ran revolutionary on a HTC Thunderbolt, and the process finished...It is now S-off. I installed CWM, and was going to install SU and flash a ROM. But the volumes keys don't work with any consistency so I could not maneuver. It eventually tried to update itself OTA and the phone bricked. It would shut down right after it booted up, I then flashed and old RUU, and now have no recovery. I am completely frustrated with this Phone, what can I do. I have tried flashing TWRP recovery, but it just installs over and over, I need to install a recovery and at this time are unable to do so.I am still running a stock ROM, but I am S-off, Is it possible to flash a ROM out of bootloader, as that is all I can access right now. IS their a Linux unbricker for this phone, as there is for others.
Currently it freezes on the HTC splash screen, and when I can get into the bootloader, I can not access recovery or any other options except HBOOT
Have you tried installing a recovery using ADB, and then downloading a Rom on your pc, copy to your SD, and then install from the recovery you pushed to it? Not sure if that's how you tried installing the recovery or not..

Don't know how, but I would try anything.
Now that I think more on it that probably won't work.. I'm not too familiar with ADB pushing and such but that might be the way to flash a different Rom in hboot. Try looking into the thunderbolt tool from the development section and see if there's anything I'm that program that could help you

Doesn't the phone have to actually be able to boot in to the ROM to use the Thunderbolt tool, it just freezes as the Splash screen
I'm not sure. The tool is a program you install on your computer. I've personally never used it before, haven't had the need. In one of the screen shots there is a "unbrick menu" followed by coming soon but I'm not sure if it's been updated or not. There is also a recovery installer menu

Maybe see if you could unroot with it because that will return you to original firmware and then re root?

I tried flashing TWRP, and each time I try to access recovery, it is in a loop of installing TWRP, the same thing happens when I try to reset to factory.

It is possible to flash a ruu following the same steps
Sent from my Thunderbolt using xda app-developers app
I was able to flash the latest ClockworkMod but it still won't boot, I flashed the RUU back to stock, but is still sticks at the splash screen, but it does skip the HBOOT each time, since I have a protected HBOOT from revolutionary when I rooted the phone and got to s-off.
I have to figure out out how to install a stock HBOOT and start over from what I read.
Sorry I couldn't have been more help, that's everything that I can think of. Good luck!
Sent from my Thunderbolt using xda app-developers app
I have a solution...I was able through ADB to roll back the HBOOT to the non protected mode that it was put in when I rooted the phone, and was able to flash a Stock recovery through ADB. I then rooted the phone and gained s-off which gave me control once again.
I think when he took the OTA it wiped out his recovery & root.
I am just glad that I got it fixed.

I got my Evo 3d off Craigslist this morning and i love it. Traded my Evo 4g plus cash for it and i couldnt be happier. I was very successful in rooting the 4g amd never had any problems that i can think of and im hoping the same goes for the 3d.
Anyways ive been reading and reading on how to root it, get s-off so i can install a recovery and them flash a rom and kernel. Ive managed to confuse myself because it seems that if you root it one way, you may not be able tp fash custom kernels and if you use another method to root it, your more than like to have all sorts of problems.
Basicall i need help and if someone could post a link to show me best method on how to root, s-off, install custom recovery, and install a rom on the 3d it would be greatly appreciated.

I ended up goin a different route by using the HTC unlcock bootloader and that was suscessful. I still have s on and I think I'm gonna keep it that way for now but I need to install a custom recovery.
I've tried setting up sdk all morning and can't get the cmd to recognize adbas an interal or external command. Not sure what exactly it is that in doing wrong.
I wanting to know if there'sa way to install my first custom recovery thru the bootloader in my phone without using my computer so I can flash the su.zip and get this thing rooted. Thanks

The twrp recovery has a method to flash that recovery without a computer by downloading it as a zip and naming it properly. See their site for detail.
I still recommend s-off since it is easier to flash Roms and the ics Roms tend to bootloop with s-on.

It looks like you renamed it to the wrong thing. If you downloaded TWRP 2.2.0 zip, it must be renamed PG86IMG.zip on the root of the sd card. Then when you update in bootloader, it should work.

Hmmm... Does your phone boot? If so, you could download 4ext (see my signature) and install their app. Then it will push the custom recovery for you. I use 4ext myself anyway.
I tried using their app already and it won't let me since I don't have root

Your welcome. Glad you figured it out. I personally have never had an issue with the 4ext recovery.
I have bootloader ver 1.05.0000 and my S is on. I am trying to get it turned off. Both revolutionary and thunderbolt tool fail at the rooting portion. I already hack clockworkmod flashed and am running a thunderstick full blown (for now). I want to update my radios and attempt to fix my wifi. So how do I go about getting the s-off on this thing. I have adb and can log into the phone push/pull files and send it commands. What am I missing?
Ever since i flashed clockwork and got a working rom installed my wifi has been KIA.
Thanks,
Barry
I tired this method: http://www.thunderboltforums.com/fo...690-downgrade-get-s-off-now-unneccessary.html
No dice. Still says S-on revolutionary still didnt work thunderbolttool worked then opened revolutionary, but revoutionary still failed.
What now?
Make sure you disable your computers firewall and virus protection. Sometimes it can cause it to hang up.
Also make sure USB debugging is turned on.

To use Revolutionary you have to downgrade via RUU, the exploit it used was patched some time ago.

You don't need to downgrade, but you do need to be on a stock rom (.19 or lower) for the root to work. Here's a stock .19 ruu that should work for you: http://goo.im/devs/trter10/PG05IMG.zip

Could you elaborate on this? I tried signing up for an HTCdev account last night to S-OFF my phone and never got the email. I relocked my phone while following Unlimited's instructions and than never was able to get an HTCdev account so I just had to set my phone back up but did not reroot it or put a recovery back on. Now I'm thinking about just doing all of the OTA updates and getting my phone completely up to date than do the S-OFF and root it once I finally get an HTCdev account.
I have the stock 3.16 rooted. Rooting went fine, the only problem I had was with ROMing. Right now there is a problem with TWRP 2.4.1.0, it wont write the kernel. TWRP 2.4.0.0 and below wont work on the stock 3.16 as the touch interface is broken due to a screen driver update.

You can have a custom recovery, just not TWRP. There is a version of CWM recovery that will work: *removed* page 5 and on for details.
The CWM recovery is what worked for me. Only thing that can throw you off guard is in CWM recovery you have to use the camera button as your enter button. The power button is the 'go back' action.
The command from fastboot is: Fastboot flash zip (name of SU zip). Though, I am new to this myself so running this fastboot method by a senior hackster might be best.

The first time I relocked and ran an RUU to obtain JellyBean I used the RUU that does the work for you. Yesterday I relocked and ran the 3.15 RUU zip from unlimited.io via Fastboot commands and was pretty easy. If I get bored enough and really get the ROM flash itch I may do as you say but for now I think ill stay unrooted stock.

Just for clarification, you ran the 3.15 then accepted the OTA from HTC which brought you to 3.16 correct? I ask because if you are on 3.15 you can use the older TWRP with no problems

Hi I am needing some help with my phone. i soft bricked it a while back and it has been stuck in a bootloop ever since.
Important things to know.
it is ***locked***
monarudo pvt ship s-on
hboot-1.33.0001
radio-1.01.04.0308
OpenDSP-v6.120.274.0114
eMMC-boot
okay so i have tried using the RUU on my phone but it is giving me the error 158 because it says i don't have to correct ruu for my phone. secondly i get the FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail) error when i try to flash anything in in fastboot. so everywhere i have seen someone post about this they are told to try to go to s-off using moonshine but the problem is that my phone will only connect to fastboot and not to bootloader so i can't use ADB which you have to use to work with moonshine. if i could please get some help on this it would be greatly appreciated.
First thing first I'm guessing u have no ROM on your phone. Sense u in a bootloop?

no it was never rooted nor did it have a custom rom
if i go to recovery it bootloops, if i go to factory reset it bootloops, it is honestly acting like there is no rom and no recovery there at all. the only thing it will connect with my computer with is the fastboot and even then it won't let me flash anything in and it won't accept the RUU. i am just incredibly confused.

Are u sure it's never been rooted with a custome recovery or did this happen while trying to root/soff? Because what ur saying doesn't add up. I had a similar problem awhile back while trying to flash a Rom. It kept failing over and over. On my last attempt the recovery crashed and somehow became corrupt. So I was stuck with hboot and had nowhere to go. I ended up fastbooting a new recovery & downgrading hboot to the one compatible with the only RUU available.
You need to downgrade the hboot and then RUU. Then you can moonshine.

That's what I'm saying. Did u buy it on a site or from someone because pretty sure there is no possible way it could just have no ROM.

yes i am pretty sure it failed during trying to flash moonshine. i have tried to flash things in as i stated above but nothing will go in because it is saying its not the correct signature.

The link ThayIO provided is basically what I did.
If you are unlocked the command is: fastboot flash recovery (drag & drop the recovery image into the command window) and press enter.

yes but the problem with that is that as i stated above i have no way of unlocking and am currently locked so i have no way of doing that.

Sounds like you guys are screwed. Had the same issue and claimed warranty on the device. Until a new RUU leaks i think you are stuck having to go the JTAG route. I dont think theirs any other fix unfortunately
Flash stock hboot, then ruu

like i said i am unsure on the exact details. it just doesn't make sense that i can't use my bootloader and then my fastboot commands are pretty much useless.. if i only had a way to flash in a recovery or the stock hboot it would work
Your only option is to achieve s-off. You can't do anything in fastboot without it. Until then your SOL

Ok so I have no OS and I want to get back my stock rom for 4.4.2.... unlocked bootloader, rooted, keeps goin to twrp when I reboot or restart. accidentally deleted my recovery and os.....
I been trying to figure out why adb won't work but it keeps saying it can't find the device. I installed and reinstalled drivers and no luck, the only time it showed the serial number was when I was in recovery mode, I rebooted and tried to go on fastboot but no luck.
I I tried RUU and locked my phone again but no luck because stupid netbook always freezes at the last step before it tries to restore the stock rom -_- then I unlocked it again and kept trying with ADB
So I had this same problem. Just figured it out today. Do you have the HTC one all in one tool kit?

I downloaded a ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353812 then used the all in one toolkit to adb sideload the ROM I downloaded. I did rename it to update.zip and I had my bootloader unlocked and had TWRP installed. The RUU's failed for me. I tried 3 and had factory recovery, was locked. No go. Sideloading with the toolkit worked! Hope this helps if you haven't already figured it out

Did you try zipping the ruu via adb? I zipped the official firmware, stock recovery and ruu via adb and was back at stock after locking the bootloader. I am s off with supercid.
