I have the Wind Amaze 4G
I tried to get S-off today and being unsuccessful I ended up at the screen where it shows the 3 arrows (2 in a circle and 1 pointing at the phone). I am assuming my stock rom got corrupted.
I can still get into fastboot and recovery (have CWM installed). Bootloader is unlocked (I can still lock/unlock it). I can get into CWM with the bootloader unlocked.
What I want to do is to revert back to stock and found a Wind/Globalive rom, but it's in an exe file. I ran it, but got back an error saying bootloader version incorrect.
I can't find any stock Wind zips...according to juopunutbear's instructions I need the stock rom...
Any help would be appreciated.
Wind's RUU is on the first link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570807
I have that, but when I used it (with bootloader relocked), it spits out an error saying Bootloader version error and exits
Then why don't you just keep trying to get s-off, some people said they had tried for hours before they succeeded. And btw, how far you get before s-off install fails?
At the wire trick when it restarted and said failed.
I tried to complete s-off and where it says to do the wire trick, no matter what I did it just kept repeating "Do the wire trick now!".
Right now I'm downloading a custom rom (Energy 3.10) and see if I can flash it on with CWM then try to revert back to stock using that Wind/Globalive exe file and go from there.
I guess while I am waiting on the download I'll keep going with the s-off.
If it works, then I'm flashing the ICS update onto the phone directly and be done with it.
What I don't understand is why I can't revert back to stock in the mean time.
Did you see this video?
Edit: May be something's wrong with the RUU. Actually, there was a flame war recently because someone had posted a broken RUU for T-Mobile, but no one mentioned anything about the Wind one, so I assume its working fine... Go to xboarder56's website an ask him, he was the one who was providing the RUUs for the community
First I'd like to thank you for helping. I really appreciate it.
Now I am attempting the s-off again, got a bit further except after the wire trick it says cannot find device.
As for xboarders site, I can't seem to find it...
No problem, I'll pm you x's site, dont think Im allowed to paste it here, its a long story...
so after several tries I managed to get s-off, I guess my timing was just off the first time and the time where it looked like it looped was me not making proper contact with the wire.
Few other unsuccessful attempts were poor timing, got it right finally after like 6 tries.
Got ICS loaded and s-off!!!!
Now to unlock and re-root then debloat this rom!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!
Im glad it worked out, man, cheers
P.s. Also, you dont need to unlock the bootloader, the best way to install ICS is the one described here, thats how I did it, got ENG hboot, and worked like a charm...
Hi,
Just got this from my bro as a backup and wanted to get s-off and such to test roms/kernels.
I know this is some old stuff, but search has pointed me about a dozen different ways.
Here's what I got.
Stock eris (which was trying to do an OTA the day or two I had it on the plan, but i kept stopping it)
Hboot 1.46.0000
Radio 2.42.01.04.27
Android Version 2.1
Can anyone point me in the right direction of getting S-OFF?
Okay, So I think I figured out what I need to start with is the "Root" version PB00.zip but all the download links I can find are dead or gone
Okay, so I finally figured out you don't have to be S-OFF to flash complete roms.. just required for fastboot flashing..
I just wrote through this last night.
http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/51383-upgrading-2-1-tutorial-9.html#post4873879 - links are all good.
Important: you can only use the PB00IMG.zip method with 1.46.0000 or 1.47.0000 HBOOT versions. There is another way with 1.49.0000.
First and foremost I want to say what I don't see a lot of from newbs around here: "Thank You". I have lurked this website for months, trying to learn the right way to do all sorts of things and I think you are all awesome for taking time out of your lives to do all of this for us.
I really hope that my questions aren't stupid and I can learn a little something from this in the process
I have read, and researched and read and researched and I think in all of my reading I have just gotten myself REALLY confused.
Here is my device:
Evo 3D (shooter) CDMA
Hboot 1.58
unlocked
S-ON
It took a lot of doing but I successfully rooted and lived in stock happy as a clam for a few days.
I first tried to install PAC rom [Halo + Android 4.2.2] and got numerous install errors (which I now believe is from installing in 4ext instead of fastboot)
so I tried CM 10.1 ...
I was stuck in a bootloop with CM 10.1 (which I now have learned may be secondary to the Hboot being the wrong version)
I decided I was in over my head and went to look for my ROM manager recovery (which was apparently lost on my internal mem), but I can't find my CWM recovery either [I preformed them both using the ROM manager app, right after root NOT in fastboot]
I attempted to boot another ROM which I thought was compatible with Hboot 1.58 (Team dirt unoffical slimbean v1.1) made sure I got my gapps right...and Im still stuck in bootloop (now just of slimbean instead of CM)
So I said screw it and tried to install the RUU after relocking and start over. But I keep getting an error message that my hboot version is wrong.
Finally, what I am looking for help with is the following:
1. Help to fix bootloop as I would like to really try the PACMAN Rom
2. Help to determine what the RUU error is so that I can return to stock rooted if I don't like PACMAN
3. Where the F*** are my recoveries????
4. Just a little bit of sympathy: I acknowledge that I am a newb but I have read, read and read some more and quite frankly am terrified of getting screamed at for missing something simple. Please believe this was my last option because I now that right now I am merely soft bricked and don't want to turn a nice phone into a paperweight (Which is why I haven't tried the URT tool yet, to downgrade Hboot, Im nervous that Ill really mess up)
I am sorry to be so wordy... but you all say be detailed and as a Paramedic I'm just trying to give you the best "past medical history" possible.
Thank you guys again for all you do to help us not so tech savy...
please let me know what (if any) more info is needed or requested.
Be safe,
Doc
I can only answer 1 question and that is to why you can't get any cm10+ roms to work and that is because your running hboot 1.58. Jellybean roms do not work on hboot 1.57 or 1.58. You must downgrade your hboot before you can run anything jellybean. But first you have to use the juopunutbear exploit to s-off your device and flash a new hboot. Here's the link to the thread I used. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24530433

the RUU error is probably because you are trying to run a gingerbread RUU. with your hboot, only ICS RUUs will work for now. If you have taken the March OTA (2.95.651.5) then there is no RUU that will work for you until you downgrade mainver.
This guide has all the instructions if you want to s-off and downgrade (there are some additional instructions for people who have taken the march ota)
if you choose to do the juopunutbear exploit you'll need ubuntu linux (or an ubuntu livecd)
As others have said you need a lower hboot for anything other than ics.
To do that you need s off.
To get s off you need a booting Rom.
You need to do the following
Install 4ext recovery (highly recommended)
Enable smart flash in 4ext, this is because you're still s on
Now flash a stock based Rom, butterz, negalite blu, or stock
Now you need to follow instructions to obtain s off.
Good luck

Re-Lock device using htcdevway . flash a stock gb or ics.
I cant seem to find your Thanks button. Because I would click it a thousand times! That link was exactly what I needed and I'm running rooted, stock ICS and playing to my hearts content . Thank you so much :good:

So yesterday I had my Aria in my pocket and I guess the power button got nudged and the screen turned on, lo and behold I pull my phone out of my pocket to find the lovely words written on the screen that too many pattern attempts have been attempted and that the device is locked. Only problem is I use this phone for everything but the phone function, I don't even have a sim in there. So with WiFi off, and no mobile network I was stuck for a bit. But then I finally sat down with it and luckily I had kept USB debugging on so I used adb to hack it. And that is where my urgent problem starts. After finally unlocking it I decided to might as well upgrade it, it was running 2.0.2 I believe Liberated ROM with CWM. So I started browsing around because I haven't really worked with this phone before all that much, I ended up reflashing to stock rom and then was going to use a nifty tool to get my hboot to 1.02, well it worked, the nifty tool flashed my hboot alright, along with my ROM and everything else there was. I am now stuck with a brick, the phone goes to the boot logo and then reboots... over and over and over until I pull the battery. I was charging the phone the whole time while working on it and after the tool was done flashing the hboot I unplugged the phone and a long list of errors ran down the screen of files that the OS was missing. I can get into fastboot, haven't had luck with any reflashs, adb is dud (while in recovery computer recognizes the adb connection but adb only lists the device as inactive. Ever since I lost my Inspire 4G this was my only working mobile device. If you have any tips tricks or clues as to how or if it is possible to come back from this destruction I am all ears.
Thank you in advance :fingers-crossed:
To clarify a bit further, the part that screwed me was the Upgrade HTC Gratia HBOOT for AlpharevX S-OFF tool. It was chugging along just fine up until the very end. The original sites listed for making a gold card are all dead but I managed to find a working one. Now I am trying to figure out what went wrong and why.

First you should S-OFF your phone with revolutionary. Then you need to flash a working recovery image and reflash ROM from there. Should work. If this still doesn't work, flash a modified hboot from the Development forum and see if you have any luck with that...

I cannot get revolutionary to find the device, the system version is 2.37.709.11 and I cannot do anything, if I try flashing anything the sig verification always fails.
(EDIT: Well I got lucky, found an asian RUU with same version, reflashed phone, S-Off, flashed unofficial CWM recovery and unofficial cyanogen 11.)
The problem I was having with revolutionary not recognizing the device was because my hboot version was too old (0.57). I used this AT&T Update package to get back to stock 2.2 and revolutionary worked straight away.

I've read all about this on "[INDEX] HTC EVO 3D GSM Development *FULL LIST* [FINAL UPDATE] " and others that should help me and read all in tutorials section, have lost 3 days trying to s-off but with no luck. On that thread are some links that may help me (a tool for auto dowgrade hboot and s-off or something and links for downloading roms that are needed for downgrading or s-off so I could install new roms like kit kat.). but some I can't try I and some don't work. I've tryed everything and just won't work. I got HTC EVO 3D X515m, GSM, ROOTED, ICS 4.0.3, SOFTWARE NUBMER 3.28.401.1., HBOOT 1.53.0007, S-ON. Also I can't get it to stock GB rom cause neither of ruu's I've downloaded from "shipped roms" don't match so I can't use wire trick s-off with Juopunutbear S-OFF.
I can't install some of the apps that I really need cause my rom is too old for them, and I have no money for a new phone, please help me!
Some Roms require S-Off, but not all. If you find yourself stuck start over and try again. I was able to S-OFF my first EVO 3D but I forgot exactly which RUUs and tool kit I used but the ones I tried this time around couldn't S-OFF my 2nd (kept giving me a "secondary backup" error). Anyway, I just loaded a custom Rom without S-OFF and it works great so I left it as it is lol

Thanks for your answer man. I know, I was able to install KingCobra 3D ICS, but that is the only one that worked. I need at least Jelly Bean or even better Kit Kat but every newer rom than ICS won't work and keeps restarting on boot logo.. Why is bootloader "parsing" PG86IMG with older hboot that I need, why it won't update it, is there a fix? :/

No idea, but if you don't like the loader you can buy one off the store. I use the NXT loader and it has a lot of customization.
Can someone just help me with getting s-off for hboot 1.53.0007 with ICS, gsm, pleasee! :/ Every solution gets me to one unsuccessful step, just can't go to the end without problems..
