Tried to unroot and go completely back to stock and I am now somehow stuck in the bootloader. If I run the RUU it gives an error because I do not have the correct version of hboot. If I try and roll back my hboot I get an error that says signature check failed... and it's a never ending circle. I've been working on this for about 5 hours now and I just really want it to work again. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
EDIT: I am currently locked and s-on while stuck in the bootloader. this seems to be my main issue
Ur pretty much Sol. Go get a warranty replacement

I've tried that. Still get a signature verification error. If I try and flash anything I get a signature verification error.
Redownload the files.
You're getting signature errors because the files are corrupted or you have the wrong files.

I've re-downloaded everything multiple times and it's a no go. I don't think it's because the files are bad I think it's because I am trying to dwongrade my hboot. if I go up a version it flashes fine but you cannot downgrade an hboot on an htc with S-ON
You're right, I assumed you were s-off. Looking back at your original post you mentioned you were s-on and I missed that.
Try moonshine s-off.

I don't think I can use those tools because I cannot use adb commands since the phone will not boot.
EDIT: and I have actually tried using Rumrunner and revone I know won't work because I can't push files to the phone with ADB

Rumrunner doesn't mention adb, most likely you have to be in fastboot.

If your s-on and locked then your screwed till we get a new leaked RUU. Only way to get it fixed is to pay $35 on ebay for someone to JTAG. You have a brick unfortunately at this moment. I claimed warranty on mine and got a new one. Verizon will just RUU it and give it back out most likely.

I went to the Verizon store yesterday to try and get something figured out... My phone is 2 days out of manufacturers warranty, I am not a happy camper... Looking at getting a ONE off of Swappa or something until a leaked RUU is out and I can fix and sell my DNA
Talked to that wonderful individual beaups on IRC for a good bit yesterday. He was able to get it sorted out. I needed to flash the new 2.07 RUU. It isn't an exe like the 1.15 though. It's a zip file that you can just go fastboot oem rebootRUU and flash it that way. Worked like a charm, took the OTA's and ran rumrunner and just like that I'm back in business.

Tried that a million times last night. And just now, just because.
I took a video of the process because I couldnt read what the RUU was saying. After updating signature, very quickly it says Checking Header...then it says checking MID/CID and then I get the screen that is attached! [Expletive deleted!]

It is locked. Its new. That screen comes from the .2 RUU exe.
I havent tried anything with adb. I havent used adb since the Evo4g. Have a link?
I have tried running the RUU with windows, I have tried PG86IMG.zip's, Ive tried RUU's while already being in fastboot. When I try using PG86IMG's through hboot, it loads the file, checks the file then dumps me back at the Hboot screen.

Adb is what most folks use to do all there stuff. You have to have adb installed to do the HTC devs route from what I have read. So the phone is locked and your tryin to root it. But are gettin errors ?
So your phone now is hboot 1.5 and is currently up to date and your tryin to root it HTC dev route but get errors?

Thanks dude. Hopefully we can unlocked and junk. Did I mention I also love the reaper? Multiple reaper tattoos inspired by children of bodom album art. But I digress.
It would be nice if HTC updated their bootloader unlock method but frankly, I dont see that happening. I called them today and they dont support anything.

How did you do it???? Please help me/us out..I have the exact same problems, tried using the 2.08 RUU's and get an error 140. And when I try the HTC unlock method at step 12 when I flash the unlock_code.bin nothing happens, no disclaimer shows up. I am on 2.17.651.5 latest OTA and HBOOT 1.5.
So i was kinda scared but i knew this day would come, VZW is pushing a update to all rezounds with H-boot 2.11. Concitering we dont have S-off yet this usually wouldnt be a problem but H-boot 2.11 breaks temp root. I have been using it for a while and it fails to push SU.
Just a warning so no one gets stuck without root
What about the people who are fully unlocked with perm root ? What happens if we run the update
Update failed in recovery for me. I've deleted some bloat though.

As far as I can tell, the update will not run. I let it download to my Rezound and then it auto-restarted after 3 minutes. Booted into recovery and said update failed. I rebooted from recovery and once booted up, I got a message saying "No new software update available" or something to that effect. Clicked "Finish" and since then, my phone has been working like before. From what I just experienced, there is no harm to your phone if you let it try to install, but nothing will happen either, so there is no benefit.

I am rather new... I'm not entirely sure:
1) How to get stock recovery back, haha.
2) If I even want to get it back. If HBoot is updated by this OTA, I don't know that I want it running and screwing up my root. Is that possible if I am unlocked and perm-rooted?
To be clear, I am willing to experiment for your guys' benefit, but would just like to be sure what I am getting myself into.

If that is the case then we could get root back and get back on cusom recovery, hopefully someone who has accepted the OTA will see if they can unlock it.
I'm trying to get back to stock and test to see if we can unlock but It takes forever to get back to stock.

I'm not entirely sure but if you are willing to experiement that would be huge.
it does update to 2.11 hboot, so the question is can you then do the unlock and root again.
i think you need to be on stock recovery to the update to take.
but dont hold me to any of this.

OK, well I can't do anything here from work, so when I get settled at home later tonight, I will see what I can do. I don't mind losing root until someone can figure out a workaround for those stuck with 2.11 hboot, mainly because a custom ROM is the only benefit I use from root at the moment. I can't figure out tethering to my Transformer Prime for the time-being anyhow, so losing Nils' ROM is a hit I'm willing to take for a bit.
If someone else does not figure out what you need before later tonight, I will do what I can.
By the way, it would help if you set up some steps for me. Like, do you want me to restore stock recovery, then check to see if stock recovery and custom ROM lets me install the update, then if it doesn't work, go back to stock everything and see if it works, then if it doesn't work go to relocked and see if it works? Just lay out each operation you want me to do to test your theories. I know far too little to be making up my own procedures. Inevitably, I'll finish and people will say, "Well, what about... and what about..."
I just don't want to waste my time or yours.

Similar thing happened to me. I have hboot 1.15. I relocked the the phone ran the RUU. Phone booted up normal with the everything stock. I then took the OTA and when it rebooted it was updating then it rebooted and the phone never turned on again. I sent it to HTC for warranty. They will get it tuesday. I'll see how this goes.
Okay guys... Enough with the flaming. If you can help, post! If not, don't. Grow up. It was posted in the wrong section. Use the report button in the upper-right corner of the post and report it.
Now, let me see if I can actually help you.
You're getting this error because you're trying to flash an older RUU on the phone than what's already on there. You'll need to flash the same RUU version or higher. If you took the latest OTA update, there may not be one available yet. I'd suggest you go through the HTCDev unlock again until that RUU makes it to the internet.

Hi there jrgalioto. Can you do me a favor, and boot into your bootloader for me? I'd like you to check the green text.
What Radio version does it say you have?
Also, if you can connect the phone up to your computer and run the fastboot command (in FASTBOOT USB mode):
Code:
fastboot getvar mainver
What number comes back? (If you can't run the command, don't worry about it)
---
If I might ask, why did you relock the phone?
---
I'm looking into trying to get you a link to a current RUU. One has been posted, but I can't access it because of Filefactory's restrictions. Hopefully somebody will post a mirror to the download soon.

I relocked because I needed to bring it back to Sprint for service, so I needed to unroot it, because I wasn't receiving data to it. But I got it figured out now. I was able to unlock the bootloader again and my recovery was still there. So i reflashed a custom ROM, so I at least had something on my phone. When I called Sprint, I told them it was not a phone issue, they updated my username in the system, then I was able to ##72786# to get the hands free activation to complete without error 1012. So I am now back in business. However, If I ever do have to unroot again, I will be in the same boat.

So I am now back in business. However, If I ever do have to unroot again, I will be in the same boat.

For future ref...sprints tep policy covers rooted phones
Of course the first variable that could be the issue in any given situation is the fact that a phone is rooted

That was the 1st thought I had. What if the root is causing the issue. It, however was not the case. and all is now right with the world, and I am no longer a brick...for now...

Hey I try to help and I have even written a guide with a ton of info, I even went so far as to write down troubleshooting stuff and they still post the exact same stuff over and over, some times its a bit frustrating. I even gave instructions on what they need to do should they completely ruin the file tree, when have you seen anyone completely destroy the internal memory lol
closeone said:
Hi there jrgalioto. Can you do me a favor, and boot into your bootloader for me? I'd like you to check the green text.
What Radio version does it say you have?
Also, if you can connect the phone up to your computer and run the fastboot command (in FASTBOOT USB mode):
Code:
fastboot getvar mainver
What number comes back? (If you can't run the command, don't worry about it)
---
If I might ask, why did you relock the phone?
---
I'm looking into trying to get you a link to a current RUU. One has been posted, but I can't access it because of Filefactory's restrictions. Hopefully somebody will post a mirror to the download soon.

Any luck on the mirror for the new RUU download? I'm using the latest one I can find and I am stuck and can't get my phone to reboot, shutdown or anything. I can't run fastboot either. all I see is ***Tampered*** unlocked*** ....RUU update fail!
My phone won't respond to the volume down and power button either.
any suggestions?
can someone post the link for the latest RUU? The only one I can find is a paid link.

Which of those is the latest one or best one to use if we have to unroot and roll back to stock? I have only had this particular phone a few days and am still getting up to speed. Thanks!
Use the 2.13 ruu.
Had the same issue happen to me and wanted to check if anyone has the link to the latest RUU if this is not it. any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I need some help, and as I always say I don't ask for help unless I really can't find a solution. I tried unlocking my bootloader using the HTCDev method, but when I try to flash the unlock code bin file it gets stuck saying its sending and never moves. Same happened weeks back with my HTC Mytouch 4g Slide and I had somehow got it to work after fiddling here and there. I have HTC Sync uninstalled (I even reinstalled it to uninstall it again and keep the drivers) and I even eliminated my PDANet which seems to cause issues in situations like this. Rebooted my computer literally over 10 Times, same bull. I just can't remember how I got it working on my MyTOUCH. SO...I'm on hboot 2.09 and was wondering if these files would downgrade the hboot or something. All drivers seem to be proper, so I don't see why I'm having issues. I'm familiar with the adv and fastboot tools, I even made the android folder on the main harddrive directory that every post recommends , have the unlock_code.bin there but its the issue of not pushing. I have an old PC but if it worked on my MyTOUCH at one point I doubt it has anything to do with it.
So I wanted to know if its possible to downgrade the hboot to use a different method.
The method of rooting the phone is the same regardless of Hboot, so downgrading won't help you. Click the link in my sig and go to the section that contains the bootloader unlocking tools. Click on the WinDroid toolkit and see if you have any luck with that, instead.

Not root, unlocking the bootloader. It says Sending and never does a thing. It should say Okay immediately after pushing the file but its not doing anything for me. Its supposed to quickly give you a disclaimer on your phone to select whether or not to unlock the BL, but all my phone does is sit in fastboot mode. So I wanted to know if these stock restore things can downgrade the HBOOT as well so I can unlock it in a different manner instead of HTCDev's method. I've been stuck with a locked bootloader for a week since purchasing this phone. My MyTouch4g slide had the same issue but I had done something that got it going, in this case, I've tried everything. Also these self made executable programs like WinDroid give me a "not a valid Win32 application" message on my laptop. They just won't run at all.

There is no other method to unlock the bootloader aside from HTC Dev. Doesn't matter what Hboot version you're on or what software version you have. Even programs like regaw_leinad's toolkit uses HTC Dev-it just automates the entire process.
Shoot Bigdaddy619 a PM. He should be able to get you straightened out.

Hmm come to think of it your right I have seen the scripts mention HTCDev. So what can I do to get it to flash that Unlock_code.bin? HTC Sync is uninstalled, PDANet is also gone, the drivers have been left behind. My device does show up as a fastboot device and the Device Manager shows the phone as MyHTC when on fastboot, what am I missing? Its all set but just stays there...

No LOL went outside for a second. I would definitely let you help, BUT I'm using an OLD Dell laptop. So old I think cavemans existed when it was invented. My HP is in repair. Bought it new, came faulty, sent for repair. Came back, new issues, right back to HP, so I'm using this wifiless crap for now. I haven't bothered buying it a WiFi adaptor since its so darn old. I mean what can be done with 128mb of ram? Imagine.
It has USB 1.0 ports, I read some discussions that it maybe the case, but the same was said about my old MyTouch 4G Slide and the token went thru eventually.

Well if you need assistance feel free to PM I'll see what I can do to help
I would like to start out with saying that I am not new to rooting/roms but a lot has changed since I went to iOS. I have TWRP accessible and I can push files to my /sdcard/
I have tried several rooms but all of them fail to install.
Can someone please tell me the steps I need to take to go back to either stock or have another ROM working? (RUU fails as well, however it does detect the phone)
Any help is appreciated and trust me I spent hours reading threads so not just posting this for an easy way out.

First, this should probably be in the Q&A section
Second, gonna need WAY more info about your phone. I assume you're rooted? S-off or S-on? What hboot version are you on? What version of TWRP are you currently using? What ROM are you on now? What RUU are you trying to use? Gonna have to give a little bit for us to work with.
Edit: Your signature also says you have the Evo Shift? Are you on the write forum?

I apologize for posting this in the wrong forum, like I was saying I haven't been here in a while and signature is outdated by about 6 years
Heres the info
TWRP v2.7.1.0
S-ON
HBOOT-2.10.0000
RADIO-1.13.11.1105
I had the last leaked RUU installed before I attempted flashing a custom ROM
Thank you for your reply!

Is your goal to flash another ROM or to go back to stock?
If you're going to be trying to flash another ROM I'd highly recommend running rumrunner and getting s-off. Otherwise there are a lot of hoops you'll need to jump through in order to flash ROMs (for starters, you'll need to flash the kernel separately).

Whichever one is faster, I just want the phone up and running again.
So it's not running at all now? I'm assuming you can boot into bootloader and recovery but nothing else, right? You can run an RUU while in fastboot if I recall, which will give you at least a usable phone. That's also probably the fastest thing to do.
After that I'd highly recommend using rumrunner to get s-off. Otherwise flashing new ROMs will be a bear.

Ah, I think something else made me delete it.
That'll do it. You need to have HTC Sync and all of the necessary drivers to run the RUU

D'oh! I bet your bootloader is still unlocked. It needs to be relocked before running the RUU.
Fastboot command 'fastboot oem lock' ought to do the trick.
