I was not able to obtain S-OFF using this combination- CID= 11111111, Running Viper (1.13) and DSB's latest (3.13) cubed kernel.

Strange, I had the exact setup and it worked perfect for me on first try without having to change kernel! ??
Changing Kernels
I originally had Error 99 instead of 92. After flashing back to a stock kernel, I was able to obtain S-OFF. Did some searching through the threads and found that this had worked for other people. Glad to see we have S-OFF now.

Im on windows 7 but I will give this a try anyways . Thanks
Try toggling off/on debugging while phone is plugged in
you need the device to be recognized while running for adb and from hboot for fastboot commamds
I think the 99 error can be fixed simply by running superCID again after seeing the failed message with 99 in it. I believe I stumbled across this accidentally after updating a backup. Someone said to go back to a back up version prior to doing FacePalm but I had none so I just restored my rom and for the hell of it ran superCID again. I had positive results.Worked immediately...so I'm thinking it was that rather than the backup-either way it worked just fine.

I have have an htc amaze that is not soff or bootloader unlocked rmember it not .Tbad thing is my volume - button does work it wont let me boot into the bootloader mode to use the recover so i tried to use a regular Ruu to flash the phone . Once it got done it says please get the right update utility and retry flashing. Another thing is my memory card hasn't been working it stoped a month ago . I have been using this RUU RUU_Ruby_Globalive_WWE_1.46.1500.3_Radio_1.10.550L.01v2DC_30.69.550L.10_release_229312_signed
i know its not tmobile but hey on the stickies i dont see one for tmobile AS AN EXE file. If i plug in the phone and flash it i can get into what looks like the bootloader mode but wont let me do anything except for reflashing the phone. Im thinking i can only try to use an original ruu thats a tmobile version, BTW last operating installed was ice cream so that is what i have installed.
1 phone is stock
2 my volume - does not work (cant boot into bootloader )
3 memory card does not work
What?
I can't tell what you are trying to do here, but if it's a question this is the wrong place
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Umm. If I understood right, you should be able to use adb commands to get into bootloader and everything without needing volume buttons. To be honest though is it your memory card? Or the phone won't read them, because if volume buttons aren't working and memory cards aren't either I'd be calling tmobile/htc
Edit: I don't know the adb commands offhand but Google should be able to help you find what you need or this forum could provide the info you need just look around.

Alright, do you have a T-Mobile RUU downloaded? If so, can you tell me where you got it from? I want to verify that you have the right version of the RUU.
I'm going to write a quick program that'll flash the RUU through USB cable, so please wait. If you haven't got the RUU, then please get the correct RUU while I write the script.

You need a T-Mobile RUU. Download the one I gave you the link to in my last post.
I am, its downloading

While you wait, could you do a quick fastboot command to prepare for my script?
The command is:
fastboot erase cache
That's all.
When you're done downloading, let us know and then I'll post the script to flash the RUU.
Additional Instructions:
When it's done downloading, please rename the file to PH85IMG
If you do not, the script WILL not work.
ok i will ,its almost done like 5 mins left
ok ready File has been renamed to PH85IMG
and fastboot erase cache has cleared the cache all done

Alright, I've attached the tool. All you need to do is extract the script, and then put the batch file to your desktop. Also, put the PH85IMG.zip file to your desktop, but DO NOT extract it!
After that's done, double click on the RUUFlasher.bat file, and it should automatically start the process. Please make sure your phone is connected to your computer before running the script.
This will take up to 10 minutes, and after it's done, it will reboot your phone, and your phone should be up and running again!
Please post if you get any errors or issues, or just questions about this.
Good Luck!

Hello,
I have tried to flash a custom ROM to my htc desire x but unfortunetly I am a almost complete noob. I have been using Desire_X_All-In-One_Kit_v2.0 in order to complete the action. The problem is that i have never rooted the fone nor i have put in the recovery into it. So basically i unlocked the bootloader and thought it would all work.Well you know yourselfs it didn't.I have been looking all over the place for a way to get my phone fixed and i found one(ima Junior member can't post links yet ( Re-flash stock ROM (RUU) after bricking a rooted device)) .I have done all the steps but in step5 i get an error

I purchased a EVO 4G LTE for my sister a little while back and recently she had her boyfriend attempt to root it for her, and since I'm here it obviously didn't go over all too well. All he said he did was follow a video (which he gave me) on how to root for the newer software version. "Something happened and it didn't work so I watched another video and tried that" The phone is currently unlocked with S-ON and he flashed a working version of TWRP and cm10 couldn't figure it out and here we are. help please. Rooted using Linux. i did some reading and found out i had to flash the boot.img through fastboot. it just hangs at <waiting for device> in the terminal. Apologies if this has been answered, if so please point me in the right direction.

I'm guessing it's on the latest firmware (3.16)? That update breaks the touch panel on all non-3.16 roms (which would include cm)...the only way to downgrade is to flash the tp.img from the previous firmware (3.15), which requires s-off. I would recommend going that route as it makes things a lot easier. For example, once you're s-off you won't have to fastboot flash kernels anymore. Check out the dirty racun thread in Original Development for more info. If you decide to s-off, you can flash the old tp.img zip from the 3.15 firmware to get the touch panel working for cm:
http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...dio-Collection&p=220556&viewfull=1#post220556
Otherwise, if you don't want to go s-off then you'll need to flash a sense Rom that's using the 3.16 base (which I think most if not all are now). I recommend Viper4g, runs great and has tons of tweaks like cm.

Boot into bootloader and check the radio. If its 1.12.11.1210 then he took the 3.16 OTA and your only choices are what premo15 said.

I don't know if you can just install TWRP again or if you'll have to go through the HTCdev unlock again. You'll need the Unlock_code.bin for the Dirtyracun process anyway so you might as well get it again.

You can try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163013
But that requires root. You don't have a 2gb card laying around anywhere?
HTC preloaded some image files for the "stickers" in the duo effects camera. They are preloaded to /data/preload so you can either flash the zip at the bottom of the second post or manually copy them over to that directory. They (HTC) haven't fully implemented this yet... so you probably won't even notice them missing. The also preload calc and flashlight app this way too.
NOTE- This will work for S-on users provided their current software level is at or below this version. S-off users can user this either way.
OPTION 1)
Rename download file to 0P3PIMG.zip. Make sure you use an SD card formatted to fat32!! (otherwise the phone might not see it) Place file on physical SD card (not internal phone memory)... i repeat physical SD card. Boot up phone to bootloader mode and the phone will auto-detect the file and prompt to install it. Follow any remaining prompts to allow the RUU to flash the software to your phone.
-or-
OPTION 2)
Download file into working fastboot directory. Boot phone to fastboot mode and connect to pc. Type in the following commands.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip RUU_T6_Sprint_WWE_1.16.651.4.zip
first time you run this it will be short... so run it a second time
fastboot flash zip RUU_T6_Sprint_WWE_1.16.651.4.zip
The command prompt output will show you details as it flashes each partition and will show you when it has completed. At this time the green bar on the phone will appear 99% of the way across the screen.. Completely normal!~ Issue the next command to kick it out of RUU mode or optionally flash the custom recovery TWRP if you intend to root/flash custom roms and THEN issue the below command to get out of RUU mode.
fastboot reboot
(note) if you just want to reboot back to bootloader you can issue the command fastboot reboot-bootloader This will allow you to boot directly to recovery and start flashing/rooting fun.
I don't own this model phone... so if someone would like to capture the output of the command prompt I would be happy to add it to the OP similar to how I have my VZW ruu threads.

Not a problem. Also, under my android file host I have a mini sdk zip. You try using that on your pc too...it's a newer version of Fastboot/adb. All you have to do is unzip it and use it from wherever you unzip it to.

So I did this, no errors, but when I rebooted it went right into Cyanogenmod. Am I missing a step?

It takes a while ~5mins, it loads the file, then checks the signature, and then says ROM parsing start (for 5 seconds) and then tells me to press the power button to reboot.

You have to do it twice if the first time is short. Sometimes it can only update certain files first.
You are s off right?

OK... so if you aren't S-off AND this firmware is older than what you have it will fail. Only S-off can downgrade. You guys don't have a newer RUU yet and there were two OTAs after this one. Definitely S-off that thing while you still can (assuming it's not too late).
@dottat
I have developer edition device and have ruu for it to stock jellyben
But I found that I can't flash the ruu to go back to jellyben from sense 6 firmware and the error was the same as mentioned above in other comments .. android info fail too many links
And after a lot of trials, I found that the rug is fine not damaged so I flashed the firmware if sense 5.5 and then tried the ruu again and it works perfect
So from my point , I think that older jb ruus can't be flashed if u have sense 6 firmware
So only I need tho flash firmware zip of sense 5.5 not the whole system the try the ruu again although both sense 6 and sense 5.5 have hboot 2.49 but I think that the one that came with sense 6 have some modifications
Also I tried to flash from sd card but no go so the only solution is flashing hboot of sense 5.5
Maybe it's the same with Sprint devices but I think that it will be the same

Either way....without being s off you can't downgrade firmware anyways. On my vzw rezound, m7, m8, and t6 I can simply flash ruus up or down all day long.

Yes I know that I should be s-off
And that's why I said I should downgrade first to sense 5.5 firmware then flash the ruu
And I won't be able to downgrade without s-off
So I was writing only about the error when I already have a-off because it took me 2 days till I found this fix after many trials
posted a current RUU for s-off users here...

IF sunshine doesn't work on your current rom (have you tried running it yet).... you need to unlock your bootloader and flash a 100% stock older rom. Then use that to s-off. Then flash whatever rom you want and sim unlock.
I successfuly rooted , Cyanogenmod 10.2.1-dlx. It was a stumbly road for me, fully grasping the steps (which now, i get it), S-off, waeksauce, SU, then the ROM.
my issue: after S-off, weaksauce, and SU, i was rooted, able to use the great apps etc, and had my stock - still tuned as it was before. was GREAT. none of that required a FULL wipe of my apps and data. Then i flashed Cyanogenmod, and as great as much about it is, (i had it years ago on HTC Incredible) there are a few issues that i CANNOT stay with.
Gmail account contacts / sync is all kinds of screwed. (not worried about cus all backed up and will get resolved)
My MHL adapter - usb misco to HDMI adapter - not supported
The HTC stock camera i LOVED. slow motion video camera i NEED. I hate the cyanogenmod camera. my instagram - www.instagram.com/benjamin.blue
and other(s) i forget this moment.
point is, can i uninstall the ROM and go back to the previous state of ROOTED stock, as oppposed to starting from scratch? and if i have to start from scratch, kindly point me towards quickest steps. If thats the case, i WILL now backup everything via titanium backup AND MyBackup Pro.
guessing i could use the backups i SHOULD have in CWM recovery, assuming i made one pre-cyanogenmod, and pretty sure i get md5 errors trying any restore.
thanks for patience - i have indeede googled like hell before making this post, on top of many full nights of brain implosion.
ben
EDIT - see next post - all i want is to unroot completely.

You must wipe data and cache when changing ROMs. App backup apps can cause some issues, so restore wisely.

i have been searching far and wide and am desperate to get my DNA back to stock, so i can activate it and use it again. i am trying every bit of sense and good advice and tutorials and my brain is just exhausted. i know i can get this, i just need a little help.
i have relocked it, and followed the instructions for running the RUU - RUU_DLX_WL_JB_45_VERIZON_WWE_1.15.605.4_Radio_1.00.00.1023_3_NV_VZW_1.98_002_release_290923_signed - exactly, and keep getting ERROR 155.
one thing i notice is during the RUU, it says going "from image" "to image" the from is blank. i click update ROM, it fills the "to" field with the RUU, 1.15, and, it runs for a minute ish and i get ERROR 155. Thanks guys I am really having a tough time.
i just tried again with new download of RUU. same results.

Why did you relock it?
Why didn't you just flash a stock rooted rom and be done with it?
probably because i didnt realize what i could or couldnt do along the way. i'm pretty noob and created a mess, a phone that boots up, into cyanogenmod, but will not activate. now i just need to get to square one.
Since you flashed cm, then your stock ROM was overwritten unless you made a backup. You'll probably have to reflash a stock from and setup everything again.

i'm ok with that - exactly what i'm attempting.
this is what you were referring to, right? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017525.
doing that i keep getting ERROR 155, searching what that could be. (now if i boot to CM recovery, files are missing, telling me the RUU install may have begun to overwrite files...but doesnr get too far.
by stock ROM you meant RUU as mentioned in thread above, right? as opposed to adb sideloading a zip ( "reflash a stock rom?")
im not sure where i went wrong, and at this point all i want is to get my dna to be able to be activated and have cell service working. (currently it boots up into CM, verizon tries to activate it, says it looks right on their end, i receive their test text, but, dialing anything, i get "mobile network unavailable.) so you can see, being not too apt in all this, there may be more than one way to get where i need. whether back to total stock, or able to activate in its current state - i'll take it.
i hope that all makes sense, i'm so appreciative for any of you guys' help.
The thread you referred to is to ruu (return to completely stock). If you can boot into CM, then do that and download Santods stock ROM in the development section. Then go into recovery and flash it.

Will try that for sure. I am still preferring to RUU and I keep getting the ERROR 155 - if can run that I can be at square one which is OK . I will try your suggestion though.

That ruu zip should work if the exe is giving you trouble. Be warned: ruu will wipe the internal SD, so back everything up before flashing the ruu.

That will happen and continue to happen, if the firmware on your device is newer then that of the RUU.
If you can downgrade your firmware, then you may stand a chance of flashing that old RUU.
But since you have relocked, I'm not sure you can.
I know you have to at least be s-off to downgrade, maybe unlocked bootloader isn't needed.
But I think that it may be. Good luck. :good:
If it were me, I would go back to unlocked and s-off.
Then flash latest firmware and rooted stock rom and be done with it.
thank you so much for the last few suggestions, i'm just wanting my phone back to stock i'm losing my mind.
could any point me to the way to downgrade my firmware to successfully run the old RUU?
Ive tried running the new RUU and i, as above, get ERROR 155. excuse my noobness, the help is great.
if i cant get this thing back to stock, so i can activate it - my goal - im gonna shell out the $100 and get insurance replacement. this is too complicated, but im not giving up.
thanks
ben
should running the newer RUU possibly finish installing? have tried but will again.
