What do you mean you're stuck in fastboot? Did you get a RUU installed? When you hold the power button for 10 seconds, what does it do on the reboot?
Yes I did the RUU when I did all of the root, recovery and the Viper mod. Followed up with th eRUU the wallet never syncronized! Figured I would Unroot follwed QGkings video to relock before unroot now no matter what I do stuck in fastboot

Ok. So if you reboot the phone right now, what happens? Does it boot into fastboot? Does it bootloop?

Ok. You need to run the RUU or something. Sounds like there IS a ROM on there because it wouldn't show tampered if the filesystem didn't have root.
Have you tried using the htcdev unlock again on it?
You'll need to either run a RUU or unlock and flash a stock recovery and boot image. The security warning is because you have S-ON and are using a modified kernel/recovery.
Yes the S-on is active Tried RUU get error 140. dont know what HTC Dev other than Regraw. that doesnt work either! Keeps saying not Evo 4g lte
The 140 error, I believe, is from having a bad connection. You may need to reinstall and then uninstall htc sync to get the proper drivers before it'll work.
i have the same problem any answers
Install the generic HTC drivers and check under devices that its detecting your phone
sent from my EVO LTE
nope
i did a new install of htc driver the same ver to root. and no good under devices it shows andriod- htc but i can get to it under the c drive
my phone is stuck in a boot loop, any help?
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?

No, but I was wondering if I could flash things in that state. Since it wasn't moving past bootloader I wasn't sure if I should try anything. Is stock recovery effected by anything like software version?
Sorry to need hand-holding, but I'm really lost, lol :crying:

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.
I was given a phone to try to resurrect from the dead. It powers on directly to the bootloader screen and does no more. I really know nothing about this phone model. Before I start, I want to know if it is even possible. The screen says the following:

And then there are the normal bootloader options. Can this thing be saved?

if you can get to the bootloader screen and access the fastboot selection,plug it into a computer and get it to read fastbootusb then its fixable,first find your token and unlock the bootloader, then from there install a custom recovery , next copy the stock ROM over to your sdcard and boot into recovery... select install zip from sdcard and guide yourself to where the file is located ,select it and let it install... from there it should be able to reboot and boot up into the ROM

You don't need to unlock the bootloader to fix it, and you shouldn't unlock it anyways, until you have it fully booted properly.
Run the RUU EXE from a PC for the 3.28 update (or whatever the later version is) while the phone is connected via fastboot USB mode, it will re-flash the ROM and should boot properly then.

RUU.EXE finds it and then gets to the restarting into bootloader step and the phone restarts. Then it just saying waiting for bootloader until it times out, but the bootloader is up on the phone.

This happens sometimes if you have a custom bootloader installed when you flash the RUU. Just cancel the Windows task and restart it and you should be fine.

Couple things since I have looked into this a little more. Despite it saying Sprint on the front, it is a Virgin Mobile phone. It has the OTA that came down on it, so I can't flash the older RUU. It says it is an older version. So it looks like unlocking the bootloader is my only option? Question is, how do I do that from the bootloader? I was able to get the token and have the unlock_code.bin file, but the instructions to flash it seem to rely on having a working ROM to complete it, which I don't have. The phone is stuck in a bootloader loop. S-OFF, I have the answer. But it is S-ON, so not sure what to do.

You are right that the Virgin Mobile RUU can't be flashed when S-ON and the OTA has been installed unless you can flash a zip to downgrade your main version (mainver) and you have to be unlocked and rooted to do that.
The unlock_code.bin file is flashed via fastboot USB mode so it might work, but if you've tried that and it doesn't you may be able to use unknownforce's hboot downgrade method to get straight to S-OFF. I don't know of anyone that's done it on an Evo V 4G but it might work if you use the RUU zip file for that model.

No. Virgin Mobile released an OTA update in November but there's no RUU that corresponds to it available yet. Fortunately, the bootloader version didn't change so the original RUU can be flashed with S-ON if the mainver is set low, but you need to be unlocked and rooted already to flash the zip file that does that.

That would be a problem for him then. I don't know of anyway to flash the RUU with S-ON after the OTA has been installed if the bootloader is actually locked and he can't unlock it.

Hey guys. Yes I have searched, but have only found instructions so far for going back to stock gingerbread.
I need to send my amaze in to get fixed under warranty, and I'm assuming they won't like it if I send them the phone with an unlocked bootloader, rooted, and CM10 installed, and that's what I need help with. How can I reinstall stock ICS, unroot, and lock the bootloader of the amaze? And will it show as "relocked" or "locked"? Of course I plan on putting the root and unlocked bootloader and CM10 once I get it back, so I'm looking for a reversible way to do this. Thanks in advance!
Just to be clear. For your bootloader to say 'locked' you'll need to have S-Off and NOT unlock the bootloader again. But once that's done just flash the ICS ruu. Here's a link

Thank you. So I am S-ON right now. In order to make the bootloader say "locked" again to make HTC happy with my warranty, I'd have to be stuck with ICS and whatever updates HTC decides to give us from then on once I got it back from HTC?
No. That's the only way for it to say "locked" if you relock it it will say "relocked"
So if you really want it to say "locked" you'll need to S-Off first. Then flash the RUU.
Once you get it back you can do as you feel.

After unlocking the bootloader with S-ON and installing a custom recovery/rom how do you revert to Stock.
I've tried relocking the bootloader, and using the AllinOneToolkit by Hanson to install the Factory RUU but it keeps failing after the HTC boot logo appears and the zip RUU file gets transferred to the phone. Keeps saying Failed with 12 signatures or something.
Then I read with S-ON that you had to use Hanson's tool and perform Fix Mainver, but that doesnt do anything either. Keeps saying, error cannot find device.
So, how do I go back to Stock?
Would appreciate any help!
Boot into fastboot, type "fastboot OEM lock" in the command prompt. Put the appropriate RUU on your external SD card and rename it PH85ING.zip and boot into bootloader.
Edit: its PH85IMG.zip. sorry about my fatty fingers. Also, make sure to check the md5 sum on the RUU. I always had trouble with the download.
