Bricked? RUU Prob. - HTC Droid DNA

Help! My DNA isn't working. I just used the unlock bootloader (Still s-on) and I had my recovery flashed so as usual I wiped all data and had a rom ready to sideload, but when I went to sideload everything said "Couldn't mount" and I couldnt do anything. So I got the RUU and I started to flash it and all of a sudden I keep getting error:178 image file. I saw someone else had this problem and they had a rom flashed and they got back in after unlocking it again but I dont have a rom installed so I have nothing. (Yes I relocked the bootloader when trying to flash the RUU and I did run it as an Admin.) Someone please help me
Edit: Phone is now fixed, I went to IRC and a guy named Beaups took remote control and fixed it. Im not sure if thats his XDA username or not but if you guys see him make sure to give him a thanks Night everyone

I am unfamiliar with sideload but seems like with the correct files and the right person with sideload experience, you should be ok, Someone will step up here, may take a bit.

Its ok its very fixable, at this point. Just be very careful and very patient.
The worst thing you can do with something like this is get in a hurry or try to fix it while you're still very stressed out.
I'm passing on this advice because I almost screwed up yesterday because I made a boo boo and was in a huge hurry.
I'm going to wait for someone who knows more about this particular issue to chime in, but you have my word, I will help you resolve it after I do some more research while I wait for someone with more information or experience to post some info.

In the original unlock downloader thread, there is a link to an irc chatroom, I would suggest you go there as well as look for help here, and be patient waiting for some one to respond ...

Thats pretty much what I did but I keep getting that error:178 image file problem when its trying to finish (I am using the 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.exe RUU) Also my phone is recognized as 2.04 when I haven't flashed anything

I had a similar situation recently. I am unlocked and s-off and i accepted the 2.04 update. I needed to go back to the original firmware but the ruu wouldnt flash and gave me an error 158 image error. The only way i was able to run the ruu was to revert my hboot and radio from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38379254&postcount=19. Im sure there is another way, but this helped me.....good luck.

Re-Unlock your bootloader with your Unlock token (Unlock_code.bin) then do a fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and use the CWM recovery that is 6.0.2.8 (i believe is the most recent version) and you should be able to sideload your rom ... or if sideloading doesnt work just do an adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip and that will put the rom that you want to use on the root of the sdcard and then you can flash that there...
This should hopefully get you working again...

Did you flash the stock recovery back to your phone before you tried the ruu?

All I needed to run the RUU was the ENG Hboot. Flash it then you should be able to install the RUU provided you have the correct drivers installed.

The RUU flashes a stock recovery... all that is required for running the RUU is a LOCKED bootloader...
Did you by chance take the OTA op? because if you did the RUU wont work...

No I haven't. I used the s-off facepalm method and I did everything as it said and now when I went into recovery nothing will mount and my device when trying to use the RUU says its a 2.04. So I didnt take the ota but thats what it is recognized as

I've attached what you need, courtesy of MrSmith317. If you ever do need to relock you'd just need to get another unlock token from HTCdev to unlock again.
But you will most likely end up needing this for some sort of flashing at some point.
I think you only have to relock to run the ruu. You shouldn't have to with the updates since they are flashed in the stock recovery. The ruu being flashed through hboot requires relock.

So you have an unlocked phone and you want to get the OTA, correct? What ROM and kernel are you running?
That error you got, was that trying to run the RUU? Which one? 1.x or 2.x?
running cleanrom ICSE 2.3
kernal 3.0.13-gaf15497-dirty
i flashed stock recovery, relocked device and was stuck at hboot..couldnt get past it rebooting or anything..unlocked device and tried running the RUU exe..started up but error out saying it couldnt complete and my screen was left on HTC till i pulled battery...

What version RUU did you use? 1.x or 2.x? Did you try running it while the phone was locked? It needs to be locked when you run RUU. But you also can't go back to an older mainver and some ICS ROMs are on 3.x
Also can you check what mainver your phone is on? In fastboot type:
fastboot getvar all
running 2.0.1 and wrong RUU i guess since its 1x
Yeah, you need to run 2.x RUU. Get it from link in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22045045&postcount=58
That should fix you up. Then after you run that and get the OTA, unlock, flash Amon Ra (there's a new version posted to that thread today), go to the developer menu in Amon Ra and install su and you will be stock OTA rooted.

[Q] ICS to GB S-On

Before I begin, I've read through a lot of threads on different forums and have yet to find a solution (that's working for me.)
I could never get my device to S-OFF so simply dropped the task. Not in too big of a rush right now. That being said, I'd like to go back to GB for a bit just to try a few things out.
I never flashed the ICS firmware, therefor I've had to use the old firmware patches. So, I tried running the RUU for GB and it only encountered error after error and my phone stayed at the black HTC screen. Any ideas?
Phone works just fine, just rebooted while I was typing this post and went straight into my ROM.
Only way I found is S-off'd, I had to go back to GB after ICS since it came on the phone I bought and needed to return it. Everyone told me I had to S-Off then RUU
If s on make sure you relock bootloader, then you should be able to run the gb ruu for whichever version you were on.

Downgrading radios when s-on could very well hard brick your phone. I strongly recommend that you s-off first.

If you never ran an ics ruu you still were on gb firmware....so you can run a gb ruu. When you run the same ruu that's not downgrading....sheesh :rolleyes . And its probably the easiest way to get back to a working phone if you are lost and don't really know what you are doing.

Tried that. RUU said "Could not update your phone at this time."
I came from stock GB originally in...April. Is there a specific RUU for that?
I've never used RUU's before so I'm lost.
aaand now, I'm pretty sure my phone is a brick. It's re-locked now, can't go into recovery, won't boot into ROM.

Still only a soft brick. Would suggest trying the other of the two GB RUU .exe version packages if you only tried one of them, just a suggestion until someone else can help you and diagnose.

I'm getting a bootloader version error. An ICS RUU should fix this, right? Granted, I know that means I can't go back until I S-Off, but I'd rather that than have a soft bricked phone
I am in the same boat - S-ON. I flashed Scott's ICS Rooted Stock Rom, along with the GB Patch. I downloaded the PH98IMG.zip and HBOOT doesn't recognize it. Trying the exe may resolve this?
Issue resolved thanks to dsb in the IRC channel. For some reason, I thought I had to throw the unlock.bin on my SD card to unlock.
And to the guy above me, try pushing it through adb. Extract the ROM, find the boot.img, throw it into your ADB directory.
adb reboot bootloader
(make sure you're in fastboot USB)
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Make sure there is no P98IMG file on your SD card.
1. Download the mainver fix from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23169557&postcount=4
2. Drop GB ROM of your choice onto SD card.
3. Flash the fix in recovery and reboot into bootloader.
4. Relock your phone by going into adb and typing in fastboot oem lock
5. Run GB RUU of your choice.
6. Use the HTCDev unlock on your bootloader
7. Download a recovery and push it to your phone by typing in fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8. Boot into recovery, flash ROM, enjoy.

[Q] Can't flash stockRUU?

So just got the phone yesterday and I wanted to S-off immediately. Me being the idiot I am I fully rooted through fireballas method rather than temp-rooting and that messes up dirtyracun. So I need to flash the stock RUU again. I re-locked my phone and tried flashing the RUU and each time I get "FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail)". Maybe I'm missing something here. How do I flash back to stock?
Are you following the instructions on the unlimited.io website? Because all you need to do is run the fastboot command and it should run just fine.

It is most likely the custom recovery that is the problem. Flash the stock recovery (found HERE), then try the RUU again.
Good news! A factory reset and redownloading the RUU.zip fixed the problem. I have my theories on what was messed up, but I'm just glad it worked out in the end. Thanks to all the people who tried to help.

[Q] Over my head: Return to Stock problem.

I've tried multiple ways of returning to stock, including PJ75IMG.zip and running the RUU for my version. TWRP won't let me flash anything I've tried and they all fail. I can install backups from TWRP no problem there. I'll try to give as many details as possible, but I can't figure out what is wrong.

Update your twrp to 2.3.3.0 or if you want to return to stock you have to relock your bootloader
Sent from my PoS MoPho
TWRP won't take the update for whatever reason, and I can't get fastboot to work over this machine, so I'm thinking about running linux to get into the phone a little easier (hopefully.) I either have to wait til I can use my roommates machine, or start installing a dual boot
Have you tried goomanager to update twrp?
Yea, it downloads the file, gives a message stating it has been installed, then it does nothing. No reboot. when I manually reboot into recovery, it still sits at previous version.
Do you have adb setup on your PC? Also do you have the correct drivers installed ?

Ok, so finally got my fastboot to work
"Fastboot oem lock"
Worked. Awesome...now it's stuck in a bootloader loop. Won't let me into recovery, but I can still get to fastboot. I can't get to recovery, factory reset, etc. just hboot and fastboot.
screen shows tampered relocked and security warning.
Any ideas? I can get it to flash the PJ75IMG.zip but it says main version is older! or something to that effect and it fails. Any ideas?
UPDATE: Got it unlocked again and it booted back into OS.
Bump. I'd really like to get this phone on the newest versions of everything. Anyone have any ideas?

Well since you are s-on you can't flash PJ75IMG files from bootloader if you want to update your phone to the latest OTA you have to relock your bootloader and reflash the stock recovery and take the OTA then unlock and flash twrp again.
If you click the link in my sig and download the 3.15/2.09 hboot file there is a stock recovery in the files as well as instructions on how to flash it

So I'm trying to run the Dirty Racun method, and I'm sitting at this part "sudo ./fastboot flash zip RUU.zip"
How long should this normally take? The only thing I can see is Sending 'zip' (filesize) and htc on the phone. Does this process take awhile? >20 mins? Is there some kind of progress meter?
Update:// So apparently I'm stuck. DirtyRacun seems to hang on the RUU flash. BigDaddy, it also stops half way thru the stock recovery flash.

Need some help....

Hey guys, havent been on the forums in awhile, my buddy has an HTC One Max that he wanted to root/rom, we've had some trouble, was up to the new ROM however it wasn't getting service from sprint, pretty much wanted to go back to stock and just not worry about any of this, i have read through some of the RUU threads and such but im having a good amount of trouble. Could i get some help? i am able to send commands to the phone but cant get into anything else, keeps going to fastboot when phone is restart. believe it is locked in fastboot. Let me know any info you need.
I think you have re-locked your phone as of now. If you have re-locked it you need to run the RUU or flash the ROM.zip via hboot. you can find the RUU in couple of threads now..
while attempting to flash the RUU i continue to get the error FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail) Everything else seems to go fine until i get to that point.

As pradeepvizz said you need to make sure your bootloader is Locked/Re-Locked to run the RUU it would also be good measure to have a stock Recovery installed.

Do you mean you tried to flash it via command prompt on the PC?
That is correct, i managed to unlock it again so i could attempt to flash the stock recovery and see if i could flash the RUU that way but it keeps giving me an error.

well since you are unlocked again, i would suggest to go ahead and install an Custom ROM. I know you had problems with Sprint when you did if the first time, but do try again with the following checks
1. Make sure you get the proper ROM for your phone - i assume your phone is from Sprint and so download the Sprint variant and not the international or anything else.
2. Use TWRP recovery for flashing the ROM. we have had users reporting similar issues when CWM was used.
