Hi I am needing some help with my phone. i soft bricked it a while back and it has been stuck in a bootloop ever since.
Important things to know.
it is ***locked***
monarudo pvt ship s-on
hboot-1.33.0001
radio-1.01.04.0308
OpenDSP-v6.120.274.0114
eMMC-boot
okay so i have tried using the RUU on my phone but it is giving me the error 158 because it says i don't have to correct ruu for my phone. secondly i get the FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail) error when i try to flash anything in in fastboot. so everywhere i have seen someone post about this they are told to try to go to s-off using moonshine but the problem is that my phone will only connect to fastboot and not to bootloader so i can't use ADB which you have to use to work with moonshine. if i could please get some help on this it would be greatly appreciated.
First thing first I'm guessing u have no ROM on your phone. Sense u in a bootloop?

no it was never rooted nor did it have a custom rom
if i go to recovery it bootloops, if i go to factory reset it bootloops, it is honestly acting like there is no rom and no recovery there at all. the only thing it will connect with my computer with is the fastboot and even then it won't let me flash anything in and it won't accept the RUU. i am just incredibly confused.

Are u sure it's never been rooted with a custome recovery or did this happen while trying to root/soff? Because what ur saying doesn't add up. I had a similar problem awhile back while trying to flash a Rom. It kept failing over and over. On my last attempt the recovery crashed and somehow became corrupt. So I was stuck with hboot and had nowhere to go. I ended up fastbooting a new recovery & downgrading hboot to the one compatible with the only RUU available.
You need to downgrade the hboot and then RUU. Then you can moonshine.

That's what I'm saying. Did u buy it on a site or from someone because pretty sure there is no possible way it could just have no ROM.

The link ThayIO provided is basically what I did.
If you are unlocked the command is: fastboot flash recovery (drag & drop the recovery image into the command window) and press enter.

yes but the problem with that is that as i stated above i have no way of unlocking and am currently locked so i have no way of doing that.

Sounds like you guys are screwed. Had the same issue and claimed warranty on the device. Until a new RUU leaks i think you are stuck having to go the JTAG route. I dont think theirs any other fix unfortunately

like i said i am unsure on the exact details. it just doesn't make sense that i can't use my bootloader and then my fastboot commands are pretty much useless.. if i only had a way to flash in a recovery or the stock hboot it would work
Your only option is to achieve s-off. You can't do anything in fastboot without it. Until then your SOL

So this morning I decided to update my firmware from the PJ75IMG.zip. I booted back to and while I was in the bootload a factor reset was done by accident. Now my operating system is now erased. S-off'ed with lazy panda. Also, i have no backup because my Vista crashed a week ago. Sprint will replace my phone, but is there any possibility of unbricking now?

Can you get into recovery?
Im guessing people dont understand the term bricked.....
Bricked- A device state in which you can NOT get to bootloader, Recovery or standard installed OS.

If you are referencing my post, the op did not provide many details to determine if he is really "bricked" or not.
There have been quite a few cases of this.
You can try the lazypanda unbricker but it probably wont work
Yeah, recovery isn't the problem. Although it is showing relocked and I was going to reroot. just thought is was worth a shot posting.

so its there a way to reboot the phone after a bad flash, i plug the phone and my pc said that it needs to install the qcl... something drivers so that means the phone its on... how i can make it to get into recovery mod again... repeat black screen... i can not do anything else... by the way i tried to flash the new radio
Sorry to hear that. I believe you're gonna need a pc to try to do anything towards fixing it. Try an RUU. You can always get a replacement before they start giving out refurbs.

Do you mean the ruu or a stock ROM. Will that recover the operation system files.? Basically I have nothing on my internal card.

If you can access recovery you can flash a rom. Your other option would be to run the ruu. You will never get your data back though.

I'll give both the stock ROM and then the ruu if that doesn't work. I just thought having wiped everthing on the internal SD card would have removed crucial information. Will report back. Thanks for the help.

I have bootloader ver 1.05.0000 and my S is on. I am trying to get it turned off. Both revolutionary and thunderbolt tool fail at the rooting portion. I already hack clockworkmod flashed and am running a thunderstick full blown (for now). I want to update my radios and attempt to fix my wifi. So how do I go about getting the s-off on this thing. I have adb and can log into the phone push/pull files and send it commands. What am I missing?
Ever since i flashed clockwork and got a working rom installed my wifi has been KIA.
Thanks,
Barry
I tired this method: http://www.thunderboltforums.com/fo...690-downgrade-get-s-off-now-unneccessary.html
No dice. Still says S-on revolutionary still didnt work thunderbolttool worked then opened revolutionary, but revoutionary still failed.
What now?
Make sure you disable your computers firewall and virus protection. Sometimes it can cause it to hang up.
Also make sure USB debugging is turned on.

It seems to me that you're going to have to unroot. Restore the stock ROM RUU and unroot. Then root again with the tool and then you will have s-off.

To use Revolutionary you have to downgrade via RUU, the exploit it used was patched some time ago.

I unlocked the bootloader with HTC Dev or whatever. Then used ADB to flash clockworkmod recover onto the phone then booted into recovery and used clockworkmod recovery to flash thunderstick full blown and thats it.
Thanks,

You don't need to downgrade, but you do need to be on a stock rom (.19 or lower) for the root to work. Here's a stock .19 ruu that should work for you: http://goo.im/devs/trter10/PG05IMG.zip
edit: just noticed the last post. Just going to warn you, you will not be able to flash an ICS or AOSP ROM with just htcdev unlock

In terms of my WIFI what could be wrong with it? It doesnt work on any custom rom.

It said loading PG05IMG the blue bar went all the way up then it just went back to the hboot menu. Didnt ask if I wanted to upgrade or anything. After I minute I went into the fast boot menu and rebooted it and it went back to my custom rom I have installed.

Well I give up After relocking the phone and installing the stock ruu I tried both the revolutionary toool and the tbtool. Both failed when they tried to root/s-off.

Could you elaborate on this? I tried signing up for an HTCdev account last night to S-OFF my phone and never got the email. I relocked my phone while following Unlimited's instructions and than never was able to get an HTCdev account so I just had to set my phone back up but did not reroot it or put a recovery back on. Now I'm thinking about just doing all of the OTA updates and getting my phone completely up to date than do the S-OFF and root it once I finally get an HTCdev account.
I have the stock 3.16 rooted. Rooting went fine, the only problem I had was with ROMing. Right now there is a problem with TWRP 2.4.1.0, it wont write the kernel. TWRP 2.4.0.0 and below wont work on the stock 3.16 as the touch interface is broken due to a screen driver update.

I wasnt able to use TWRP at all. I had to use CWM recovery. you could also use fastboot to flash a ROM, but I don't think any ROM's except for the stock ROM will work with the OTA 3.16 because of the touch screen issue. I was able to flash Meanbean 2.9, it installed fine but after it booted I couldnt use the phone as the screen didnt work. I used the stock rooted ROM provided by The D3rps, located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2127947.

Ok so I have to flash this via Fastboot and not custom recovery? What are the commands I have to enter into a command prompt to flash this stock Rom?

You can have a custom recovery, just not TWRP. There is a version of CWM recovery that will work: *removed* page 5 and on for details.
The CWM recovery is what worked for me. Only thing that can throw you off guard is in CWM recovery you have to use the camera button as your enter button. The power button is the 'go back' action.
The command from fastboot is: Fastboot flash zip (name of SU zip). Though, I am new to this myself so running this fastboot method by a senior hackster might be best.

The first time I relocked and ran an RUU to obtain JellyBean I used the RUU that does the work for you. Yesterday I relocked and ran the 3.15 RUU zip from unlimited.io via Fastboot commands and was pretty easy. If I get bored enough and really get the ROM flash itch I may do as you say but for now I think ill stay unrooted stock.

Just for clarification, you ran the 3.15 then accepted the OTA from HTC which brought you to 3.16 correct? I ask because if you are on 3.15 you can use the older TWRP with no problems
*Update* Just checked out the dev forums. MB has been updated to 3.16 base http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048229
I'm going to check it out tonight.
i really think i screwed myself. too keep it short, i erased My OS trying to install a custom ROM, then somehow deleted TWRP recovery, i relocked the phone trying to unroot thinking that would fix it (sorry im a n00b) now im stuck in bootloader and no recovery please help

that is what it says above my bootlaoder,
Try doing a ruu. You can do it from fastboot in the bootloader
Edit: or you can load a pg 83img recovery on your external sd card to reload your recovery and then you can get into twrp so you can flash a new Rom

Your other option is to fastboot flash TWRP. Once you've done that you can go into recovery and flash a ROM.
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
Lol where did I get the 83 from? Evo 3d?

Sorry. Try this. Go here and download this file to your external SD card. Don't put it in any folders-it has to be on the root of your card.
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/jewel/PJ75IMG-twrp-2.3.1.0-jewel.zip
Name the file PJ75IMG.zip (make sure there isn't an extra zip extension or it won't work). Boot your phone into bootloader (with the phone off you can do this by holding volume down + power until the bootloader screen pops up). If the phone doesn't automatically scan for the file, you can use the volume keys to navigate to 'Bootloader' and use the power button to select. When you are prompted to do so just use the volume keys to choose yes and the power button to confirm your choice. If successful the recovery will load. Once finished you can boot into recovery from the same screen and flash a new ROM

Sorry, I edited my above reply. I'll be happy to tell you how to fastboot flash TWRP if you'd like. Quick question though, do you know if you have the newest touch panel drivers installed? If you took the OTA update to get the latest version of Jelly Bean, then you do.

Duh, crap! Okay, looks like you're going to have to run the RUU since I'm not sure you can unlock with the state your phone is in.

You may need a ruu for 3.16, sounds like the bootloaderis out of date or something. Never seen that error before though

Trying.putting this on external sd. It's a ruu that can be flashed through bootloader. If that doesn't fix it then I'm not sure man. This may break chances of rooting but should fix your phone. :beer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35930652
Any chance with that? That should be a signed image flashable by bootloader. Otherwise you may need to unlock your bootloader via fastboot to flash it.
Man, this is rough. Hopefully we can get it fixed though

Damn i thought it was gonna work, it updated for a while then said update fail because it was older then my current 3.16 =(
if you know a little Linux, you can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948485. Otherwise a repair might be able to be done via JTAG. Other than that I am not sure. Maybe if you can unlock the bootloader and s off again you can atleast flash twrp and go from there. Sorry bro but I'm out of ideas.

Well thank you very much for your help, so is lunix a program i can download or is it an actual operating system that i would have to install?
Try to go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader. If that works then fastboot twrp then flash a Rom

i did but after i get the token and command prmt it gives this.
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
Your best bet is to just wait a lil bit for someone with more knowledge of how to fix this comes through. I would just not do anything else to the phone for now cuz you don't want to make it worse.
Hi everyone,
I recently tried to flash a new ROM and had to upgrade my HBOOT. After i did so, I continued to flash the rom but probably made a noob move along the way because it got stuck at the HTC boot logo. I turned my phone off and then booted into recovery again but then got the error that 4ext was booting into safe mode because it could not mount the sd card. I did a bit of research and came across a thread that said to reflash 4ext and so I did. Now when I'm trying to boot into recovery, I get stuck at HTC boot logo again. At this point all I can boot into is HBOOT. Is there anything I can do or is my phone pretty much bricked?
My HBOOT version is currently 1.93.002.
Thanks.

If 4ext boot in safe mode it means your system partition or some other partition is corrupted the safest way to fix it is by running a ruu since your t mobile you won't face much trouble just lock your bootloader and run a t mobile ruu R2 is the latest

Well i cant get into 4ext at all now.
But i do have a few questions if you dont mind:
Would i lock it simply by doing fastboot oem lock in command prompt?
So the ruu would be the first one under tmobile on this site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617644?
And could you link me to or give me a quick tutorial on how to flash the ruu without being able to get into 4ext?
Sorry im kind of a noob at this.
