I have a htc legend(BellMobility - Build number: 3.20.666.1 CL291292 release-keys) with hboot 1.01 and adroind 2.2. I try and update hboot via ruu file but it says that i have not downlaoded the right ruu file for my phone. Even tho i have. Any idea on how to fix this. Why do I want to update via ruu is i need to update hboot so I can execute the command "fastboot oem get_identifier_token"
IIRC Bell released Android 2.2 for Legend, and that was the last update they ever did. There wouldn't be anything newer for you to have.

So I'm Hboot 1.5... I've been running MIUI mostly, but I wanted to update my radios. I unrooted and then did the newest RUU. My radio is now updated.
Now I'm trying to re-root, but the Unlock_code.bin isn't doing anything. Supposedly I need to be on an older RUU in order to use HTC's unlock? but... Wouldn't that undo my radio update?
So how do I get back to root/unlock while keeping the newest radio?
Thanks
I'd Also like to know about this.

Did you relock and run xhausx's FULL 2.17 RUU.zip? I was rooted on 651.3, that's what I did to get 651.5 update, unlocked with my original .bin file and it worked. Details / Links are in the Guide/flashing notes in my signature.

I have unrooted tho I am S -ON 1.5 and used that 2.17 RUU exe 3 times since I rooted to fix things I dicked up lol. I always was able to unroot again
What cmd are u using to do the unlock code?
Currently I am Hboot 1.5 S-ON and trying to downgrade to HBoot 1.4 S-OFF. When trying to brick my phone on the PG86IMG.zip update it doesn't brick, at least I don't think so. I can enter HBoot, flash a rom, and all that stuff. I believe my problem is because I am presently on RUU 2.17 flashing a 2.17 update and I need to downgrade to RUU 1.13. However, when I try to run RUU 1.13 EXE with a relocked HBoot I get an error message part way through the utility.
ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
First of all, do I need to downgrade to RUU 1.13 to brick my phone on the PG86IMG update? And second, if that being so, how do I downgrade?

You need to be relocked/have 2.17 firmware on your phone.
Once you press (UP) to update does your device turn off right away?
I am relocked and have 2.17 firmware. When I press (UP) for the update it updates with a series of purple and black updating sequences. But I am trying to brick it and I can't seem to do so cause I am pulling out the power cord with no battery but I see no dim red light on the top of the phone. Like I said, everything boots as normal and I even can run the 2.17 RUU EXE and boot up that. I saw that the "HBoot downgrade tutorial" said...
If you're already S-OFF, but on 1.50, you can do one of two things... I have attached the PG86IMG.zip with the 1.40 bootloader on it, download it copy to sd card and flash via bootloader.
The other option is to simply re-run 1.13 RUU, this will downgrade it as well, but this will also erase all data in the process.
Now I assume that means if I am 2.17 and S-ON, which I am, I need to downgrade to 1.13 to have the 2.17 PG86IMG.zip update properly so I can pull the plug and brick it. Do I need to do that or am I just needing to repeat the bricking process until it works?

I downgraded yesterday. This is what I did. I downloaded this hbootdowngrade217.zip along with another download zip file that contained the 1.13 ruu and I downloaded a 2.08.zip file as well. I relocked my phone and ran the 2.17 ruu thats in that hbootdowngrade217.zip file. Then I rename the 2.08.zip file to PG86IMG.zip onto the root on my sd card. Booted into bootloader let it read the file. Once it read n I had to update. I plugged in the charger from the laptop to the phone then took the battery out. let it sit for a min then hit up on sp it can begin the update n right after it said UNZIPPING n said Updating I counted to 5 n took the charger out on 5. If u did this before it went to the next step you have bricked your device correctly. You can check this by going into the control panel>view devices<manage devices n u put the battery back in hold down the down volume button then plug your phone back up n u will see something saying: Qualcomm MMC Storage but it should change to QSUSB_ (something) that means have bricked it correctly. If u didnt then its gone read unknown device. Just continue trying to brick it. Hope this works for you.
Hey guys. A while back my phone got screwed up I had to flash the ruu to get it going again. Originally I was on hboot 1.4 rooted/s off via revoked. After I updated with the ruu for the newer radio it now has hboot 1.5 but still says s off. I wasn't able to flash a Rom via clockwork or twrp. So I have a stock Rom without root and I can't figure out where to go from here.
Any ideas?

don't know for sure but IMO you will have to unlock via HTC dev.com, then you will be able to flash anything like you did before . And to root your ROM, just flash a zip file containing superuser apk and binary after doing the above steps.
Also you can revert back to hboot 1.4 ( don't know how exactly ) but don't follow the downgrade thread by unknownforce as you are already s-off
S-Off supercedes being locked. You should still be able to flash roms and have superuser. I was on unlocked on 1.4 with s-off and went to 1.5 showing locked but with s-off and everything still flashes and superuser works fine.
s-off should allow you to do as you please with your phone.. you should still be able to flash w/e recovery you want and w/e rom you want w/o fastboot into recovery..
having s-on in 1.5 is a pain.. but if you already have s-off.. you can just as easily flash back down to 1.4 or even to 1.04 the eng hboot..
but once you're s-off, which you already are, you can do as you please with your device.. you don't need htc dev for it..
EDIT: you might just have to reflash your recovery.. use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and then boot into it... recovery.img has to be in the same folder as your adb and fastboot files..
So my rezound is stuck in Hboot, only boots to Hboot. I tried the update yet again and this time it is really screwed up. I can't flash anything in adb commands/fastboot commands. My Hboot screen reads:
Unlocked
VIGOR PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT- 2.27.0000
eMMC-boot
Aug 6 2012, 19:24:37
I tried re-flashing a different Hboot, that would not take. Could not flash recovery, and it fails every time I try to flash the RUU, either 3.14.605.12 0r the either of the new 4.xxx.xxx.xx.
Any help would be nice, Thanks
edit: When I try to flash firmware or RUU it starts to update, but it says Fail-PU next to everything. When I try to flash from command prompt it says image update error

Your hboot is not showing any radio???
Start fresh with a new download:
Go here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ and download the latest RUU. Place it on your sd card, check MD5, and rename it to ph98img.zip . Reboot into bootloader and it should flash it.

Tried it and it did not work. Still Fail-PU next to everything. The only thing that is successful is #16 TP.
If you are reinstalling a Leak RUU you need to relock your bootloader.
troy7548 is right. Relock your bootloader and the latest RUU should flash fine (I'd do the most up-to-date one). Since you are S-OFF you don't need your BL unlocked. After you've gotten the RUU installed and everything boots, Delete the zip from your card then flash this firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843030
This will give you the latest firmware but re-enable fastboot commands on the locked S-OFF bootloader.

I've tried locking the bootloader, but my fastboot commands are all failing, so basically I cannot relock the bootloader using fastboot oem lock command....
Did you update you adb
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA Premium App
Going to try Unbricking Process....
Think I'm going to try the Unbricking process posted in the forum. Nothing else seems to work, so what do I have to loose? Any opinions?

Yes my adb is up to date.
I bricked my Thunderbolt trying to return it from rooted ICS 4.0.4 with the new radios to stock. Now i downloaded the .19 RUU however it does not want to install. It says that the MAIN VERSION IS OLDER. Of course since the installed version is 7.02.605.10 the hboot does not allow the PG05IMG to install because it is the .19 RUU.
So my phone is stuck in the HTC white screen and boot-loops. When I go to bootloader I can only use fastboot usb and nothing else. Not even recovery. On top of that the hboot is version 1.05 with s-on with latest radios
I think the solution would be updating with the latest OTA zip file from botloader. Do you have the zip file OTA 7.02.605.10???
Or how did you unbrick ur phone???
