First, off, awesome NOOB video, and after watching it I can safely say I've done my due diligence. I have scoured our internet and several parallel earth internets with no luck in finding a solution. If any of you can give me a hand, I'd really appreciate it.
Phone Specs:
HTC Rezound
VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.28.0000
RADIO-2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r

SDK tools: "Pulled from the SDK of February 13, 2013"
PROBLEM: Cannot revert to stock rom by
1) using an RUU exe to revert, but it crashes on both my home and office PCs (Win7). The file is the only one I've been able to find: RUU_VIGOR_ICS_35_S_VERIZON_WWE_3.14.605.12_Radio_RS_1.22.10.0424r_3622A_MR3_9K_release_270509_signed
2) or flashing from Amon Ra or TWRP (can't mount eMCC/data)
3) or uploading PH98IMG.zip to SD card and letting Hboot handle the heavy lifting (sticks at HTC boot up screen on reboot)
4) or using "fastboot oem rebootRUU" followed by "fastboot flash zip PH98IMG.zip" gets
sending 'zip' (624366 KB)...
OKAY [ 55.743s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 142.046s
BACKGROUND: I'm obviously a noob, but the only way to learn is by digging in. Here's the progression that's led me to this point:
1) Learned to unlock bootloader
2) Installed cm-10.1-20130629-NIGHTLY-vigor (officially unsupported by available for Rezound from CyanogenMOD's website)
3) Noticed instability so I wiped everything (x3) and tried to revert to stock. Couldn't make any progress, especially since the RUU exe crashes on both Win7 systems I have.
4) To get functionality for work, switched to cm-10.1.0.1-vigor.
5) Still have stability issues, so I'm trying yet again to revert. Current results of attempts are listed above under "PROBLEMS"
Note1: Per Scott's suggestion over either at Phandroid or ScottsRoms (can't remember I've been so many different places), I've modified the android-info.txt in PH98IMG.zip as follows, making sure the version number is higher than the current from CID Getter:
"modelid: PH9810000
cidnum: VZW__001
mainver: 4.09.605.2
hbootpreupdate:12
DelCache:1
DelFat:1
"
Note 2: MD5s check out.
Note 3: Before my first installation of CyanogenMOD's latest nightly, adb worked fine and would list my phone. After CyanogenMOD's latest nightly, adb does succeed in starting daemon and lists what it think is my phone, but instead of listing a phone it lists a blank space and returns to the command prompt. if I try adb reboot, it returns error: device not found. BUT fastboot still works fine.

Appendix 2: The sequence I've been following trying to get the thing to accept the stock rom is below...and I've tried small variations variations when what's below fails miserably.
1. Load TWRP or Amon Ra recovery
2. Wipe, wipe, wipe!
3. Reboot bootloader
4. fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img (have treated as interchangeable in sequence with step 5)
5. fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img (have treated as interchangeable in sequence with step 4)
6. (used this, also from Scott, before I started manually editing the android-info.txt in the image zip) fastboot flash zip SetMainVersionLOW.zip (to make sure the main version is lower than the stock ROM version--otherwise it'll think you're upgrading to a lower version and won't run)
7. fastboot oem lock
8. This step varies. I've tried
a. fastboot oem rebootRUU then fastboot flash zip PH98IMG.zip
b. fastboot boot TWRP or Amon Ra recovery, then flashing PH98IMG.zip from there
c. dropping PH98IMG.zip on the SD card and letting Hboot handle the heavy lifting
I take it you didn't take a back up of your previous rom before installing CM10.1?

That's correct. And I deserve what I'm going through for that alone if nothing else.
One additional note I'm about to edit into the post above. I've also tried using an RUU exe to revert, but it crashes on both my home and office PCs (Win7). The file is the only one I've been able to find: RUU_VIGOR_ICS_35_S_VERIZON_WWE_3.14.605.12_Radio_RS_1.22.10.0424r_3622A_MR3_9K_release_270509_signed

I believe won't be able to use the RUU anyway because your hboot version is too high, you can't back down if you're s-on (and I could be wrong but I haven't seen a RUU with the latest OTA included). I'd suggest just installing a stock rooted rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260154

Thank you! The opening post notes that the ROM comes without the radio or firmware. Will I be ok? I build my own PCs and know that must be an idiot question, but I just don't yet understand enough about the way the phones work. Thank you very much for your help.

You already have the latest firmware on your phone, that doesn't get touched when you do a rom install.
Thank you, Matt! I'm downloading the ROM right now. Will post results once it's down.

Oh my gosh! I can't believe that did the trick. Matt, you rock! May I send you a Starbucks card or something?
Couple of clarifications if you have time:
1) TWRP wouldn't install the ROM, but Amon Ra would. Any idea why?
2) What in my original post led you to this solution? Just trying to learn. =)
Thank you again!

The update-binary and the updater-script in the META-INF are not updated to work properly with TWRP in the rom you installed.
I learned that the hard way when I built my OTA Blue rom.
good to see you got it working

You're welcome, kc6wke covered question 1, for number 2, I knew you couldn't RUU cause you are on the latest firmware and s-on, it's not possible to downgrade firmware unless you're s-off. Your only option really was to install a different rom so I gave you a stock rooted one.
Matt, I've got an additional question if you have time. Any idea why my attempts to root the new ROM aren't taking hold? The phone is running just fine off the ROM you directed me to. After installation, I booted into Amon RA 3.16, installed superuser and su, and rebooted. Nothing. SUChecker returns "su declined / not found"
Actually nevermind. SUChecker is returning a false negative. Apologies, and thanks again!
The one I gave you was already rooted, no need to do that.

Josh,
I may be wrong but I think that the iemi is sensitive info so you might want to delete that from your original post. Maybe delete your serial number as well just in case.
btw... my phone doesn't show a mainver either, never got an answer as to why not, but it works fine.
Thanks! Done and done.
well he was a noob, but then he just became just like the rest of them

Sorry but i am s-on not s-off yet. trying to get info on how to also if this does not work.
Hello all, I've been using these forums for information frequently, but this is the first time I've run into trouble. I updated my AT&T HTC One to the GPE, but decided I wanted to go back to stock with the impending HTC Sense 5.5 update around the corner. I had gotten GPE via rumrunner and the methods at htc-one.wonderhowto.com (I can't post the direct link).
I had then reverted back to a rooted stock ROM, but it would not perform OTA updates. So, my next step was to get S-ON and re-lock the device. I accomplished those, but somehow I now have no OS - I can get into recovery (stock), but cannot perform anything from there. Factory resets and wipes do nothing for me. I have access to fastboot, and have attempted running various RUUs but all of them give me error code 155, which appears to be due to the wrong version. However, I have tried all of the AT&T US RUUs I can find, so I'm sort of at a loss there.
I thought maybe I could get unlocked again so that I could load TWRP again, but running the HTCDev unlocktoken command does nothing, other than tell me it was successful - it stays on the fastboot screen instead of showing the option to choose Yes/No to unlock.
So, after hours of attempts, I'm sort of stuck. Could anyone help point me in the right direction? By the way, my device reads TAMPERED and RELOCKED in the bootloader, and S-ON. Below is the output of my getvar all:
(bootloader) version: 0.5

Yes, I tried all of the Cingular ones on that page, to no avail. They all fail with the 155 error code.
EDIT: I also tried that latest AT&T version from androidromupdate, but it failed the same

Okay, seems like I've followed all of those steps. I ran fastboot oem lock, but each time I try the RUU I get the 155 message. I had just installed the latest HTC drivers last week, as that was when I went to the GPE. I'm using the same USB port that I had been using then, so no differences there.
Thank you for your responses - if you need any more information I'll be glad to give it.

Okay, so one thing that I have noticed - my main versions seems to be X.XX.1540.X, which as best I can tell is the US Dev Edition. However, my CID is CWS_001, which should have X.XX.502.X as the main version. Unfortunately, I think the conflict here is causing my RUUs to fail. Any suggestions?
So, after a long night and morning of fighting with this, I've concluded that I'm completely hosed. Here is how I stand at this time:
My CID is correct, CWS__001, which matches my carrier (AT&T)
My OS version, however, is 4.06.1540.2. This marks it as being a developer edition.
There does not exist an RUU for the OS I have currently. Also, if one did exist, I'm not certain that it would work, as that would require my CID to be different (not sure on that last bit)
All AT&T RUUs fail - this is due to low main version.
I do not have access to Android at all, only bootloader and fastboot.
I am S-ON
I am RELOCKED/TAMPERED
Because of these, I cannot flash a custom recovery to be able to load a new system of ANY version.
Because I can only access bootloader, I cannot achieve S-OFF.
And the final nail, HTC Dev unlock feature does not work. It says it is successful, but the splash screen is never displayed, and I receive the message that the splash screen could not load on my next fastboot command (no matter what command it is)
So, from this criteria, I think I'm stuck with an expensive piece of dead technology. I'm posting all of this information in hopes that someone else may get stuck in the same manner and have a miracle cure.

I've tried - how would I go about restoring the stock rom/recovery? Just flash the individual images from that zip? Also, would I need to do the X.XX.502.X version (my carrier), or the X.XX.1540.X version (the currently loaded firmware)?
EDIT: No dice. I tried both, but continue to receive the message that the signature verify is failing.

I think your issue may be that you went back to S-on before going to stock and now firmware is wrong. I would follow the article to regain s-off then you can likely move ahead. There are also several articles saying going to s-on after being s-off can cause issues.

The problem is that I cannot access my phone's storage to push revone, or to use rumrunner. I cannot unlock the device because unlocktoken does not work - it applies the token, but nothing happens.
I wonder - can I flash the splash screen that it is missing? I think it's due to me missing the piece where it asks me to confirm I want to unlock the phone.

Hey everyone! I'm having issues booting my phone up. It might be bricked because one night my phone was working and the next morning it wouldn't boot at all after having not made any changes. I've messed around with it a lot, installing and wiping things. Anyway, I'd just like to make sure I've exhausted all attempts at getting the thing to boot again.
I am S-On, and have tried to use rumrunner to get s-off but was getting an error saying no adb connection. I wasn't able to turn off fastboot as instructed since I can't boot, but I have been able to run some adb commands. I get error: device not found sometimes and error: closed others. I have been using the windroid toolkit. I have tried running the ruu exe (yes, I first relocked) but got an error 155 and my bootloader said "HBoot Version is older!" I have installed several OTA roms and they seem to install properly through the recovery (I have been using TWRP, CWM and amonRa) but then do not make it to home screen. I had some progress where I was initially getting stuck at the white HTC screen, after flashing a kernel, I think it was, I made it to the 4G LTE screen but then it hung up there.
Hmm, I've done a lot of searching and trying things, but hopefully yall can help! I appreciate your efforts either way

You need to get it bootable before you can S-OFF with Rumrunner... Unlock the bootloader again, boot or flash your recovery of choice (TWRP/PhilZ/CWM), wipe EVERYTHING thoroughly, at least 3 times, then flash in Tachyon to get it up and working (if you flashed the recovery and started it from the phone, remember to manually push the boot.img with fastboot). Give it time to boot, the first boot can take 10+ minutes in some cases. Once it is booted and stable, then you can try to S-OFF again.

Hi acejavelin, thanks for the reply!
So, I was finally able to get it to boot again.. I put evervolv on it and then ran rumrunner once I had it booted. After running and getting most of the way through rumrunner, I got stuck in another boot loop. It seemed like rumrunner corrupted it or something. I couldn't it to book back up at that point, but I am now showing s-off! Not sure if it's possible to be halfway s-off or showing s-off but not, but the rumrunner never finished it got to pouring (2)... so I don't know.
Right now, I have evervolv on again (after trying many others) and it seems to be somewhat stable. I'm thinking I have a hardware issue. Something seems to be faulty and only working half the time. I tried a few different RUUs, OTA global rooted roms, etc.. Tachyon, cleanrom 4.5 pro, plain andy, carbon, etc. I have also been using Cleanwipe 10x before flashing new roms. Everything is unstable, so unfortunately, like I said, it seems to be hardware.
I have another rezound that has a bad ESN because I thought it was stolen, til I found it months later. It looks difficult, but possible to change the ESN.. I was thinking I could just switch the ESN and MEIDs and use the other phone? Any other suggestions on how to isolate the issue or find some stability would be very much appreciated. Thanks for the help!
Glad you got your answer! Also, cloning your IMEI and ESN is illegal and a major criminal offense. I suggest you don't go down that route.

The result you got with rumrunner is very common, not sure exactly what it corrupts (probably the boot partition) but it is common to for it to freeze/bootloop after going S-OFF, as long as it's S-OFF in the bootloader, it is S-OFF... there is no "kinda S-OFF". Just restore the backup you did before running rumrunner (you did a Nandroid first, right ) or reflash your ROM and Gapps, no worries, this is kinda normal.
As far as the "most stable" ROM, this seems to vary a lot on the person, configuration/apps, ROM, and hardware build, some ROMs are better than others under various conditions and trial and error is the only real way to find out. Some Rezounds just do not like KitKat, others don't like JellyBean, etc... so if are having lots of issues with one, try a different one. A few ROMs you didn't mention that I think are very good on the Rezound are EclipticRez Revamped v9 (this is the most stable non-stock ROM I tried) and Nils Business Sense that are both ICS based, Beanstalk and Talon are two really good under-rated JellyBean ROMs just remember that some JB ROMs can swap your internal and external storage around in mounts (they appear swapped when the phone is booted, this is not really a bug if you see it). But to be honest, if you are flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260154 or gone through @REV3NT3CH's full downgrade/upgrade guide and are still having issues, it could very well be hardware issues.
And yes, @kcipopnevets is correct... ESN/MEID swapping is illegal, although I don't know how much of a "major criminal offense" it is. But generally it is considered fraudulent activity and a violation of your terms of service on your cellular plan as well.
Hello!
So I recently replaced my stolen AT&T HTC M8 with an a refurbished one and decided to root it for my first time. Unfortunately, I fell into the common mistake of using the outdated Hasoon2000 All-in-one toolkit. I'm not well-knowledged in phones, but I definitely want to learn (which is why I am here). I know I should've been more cautious and prepared prior, but all I can do is learn and move forward now. I've spent a few hours researching and trying to understand the process, but there is a lot of technical aspects that I haven't grasped yet. Well, here is my situation:
My phone is currently soft bricked and I am unable to access my phone's UI when I boot it. After the HTC One logo, the phone will be black and consistently bring up, "unfortunately AT&T ready2go has stopped". It will also say that the UI has stopped and I have no choice but to turn off my phone. Prior to this, I had an issue with Superuser where there was no binary so I tried to re-install it thinking that would do something; I then performed a factory reset (thinking it would somehow fix it). I realized after this that TWRP and SU were both out of date and now I'm here not sure what to do. I would like to be able to flash the RUU to revert back to stock and go through the rooting process manually but I haven't had much luck with the .exe file so far; do I need to have S-OFF and/or relock my bootloader? If so, how do I do that? I'm still learning, and it's a lot to pick up, so bear with me please as I try to piece together everything. I've been searching through the forums, but it hasn't really helped me too much.
Here is what my Hboot says:

Were you on stock Lollipop or Marshmallow before you started modding the phone? From the radio number, I think its LP, but I'm not that familiar with the weird AT&T radio numbers (and how they correspond to LP, MM, etc.). It would be easy to see your main version, if you had not used an obsolete TWRP (from the toolkit) that deletes that info.
One piece of advice moving forward, and this goes for modding any Android device, is to always research the current methods based on your current Android version, firmware, etc.; and confirm the methods work for your setup, before you begin.
At least you've realized your mistake (outdated toolkit, outdated TWRP, outdated SuperSU), and also properly posted your getvar data. So you're not doing a bad job in that respect.
Also, did you make a TWRP backup before trying to root? If not, this is a basic step that is too frequently skipped by newer users. Having a backup of your stock (pre-root attempt) ROM would have given you an easy way to revert to a working OS.

Do not need to s-off to run RUU.
But you do need to relock the bootloader, with fastboot command: fastboot oem lock
The RUU version will depend somewhat on your main version (Android version) which I asked above. I can give info, once you've answered that question.
After RUU back to stock, you'll need to unlock the bootloader again (try the same unlock bin code, or get another from HTCDev.com) in order to install TWRP, root, etc.

I unfortunately did not, but will do this from now on. I've definitely learned a lot about the process, after the fact, and feel much more prepared to work on this phone. In the case that I need to do this on another phone I will do my research and take the appropriate steps as well.

From my understanding, the RUU version needs to be the same or above the previous. This is the only part that confuses me because I felt that I had everything right to run the RUU. What do you think is a potential reason for this specific case?
Update: I have already relocked bootloader

Its correct, with s-on, you need to run RUU that is equal or greater version number than the firmware on the phone (in addition to the RUU for your CID,MID so the RUU meant for AT&T M8). Meaning you can't "downgrade" or run the KitKat RUUs (only way to bypass with is with s-off, which is $25 by sunshine). Since you are on LP firmware, you can run the LP RUU.
There is another complication, in that you cannot run the Marshmallow AT&T RUU, unless you flash the MM firmware.zip separately first. Otherwise, the MM will fail with Error 155 if you try to flash from LP or KK. This is a new requirement with MM RUUs.
Link to details on how to flash the firmware.zip (if you want to RUU to MM) is in my Index thread, as well as all the AT&T RUUs (in the RUUs section): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432

I was able to successfully flash the MM firmware as referred to in the post and now it shows the OS number in my Hboot. However, when I used the MM .exe file (RUU_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_ATT_MR_Cingular_US_6.20.502.5_combined), I am still running into the same issue. I see the first Install Wizard pop-up and then it disappears before I even get to the Terms and Conditions page. I feel that I have all the necessary steps now, but I can't seem to figure it out. I also haven't been able to find a .zip file of the update to manually run the RUU. Any ideas on what my options are?

Just let it sit there after the first pop up, it does some background process and then the wizard starts , some times it takes more then 5 minutes, depends on your computer.

I waited for about 30 minutes and kept an eye on the process on task manager. The set-up application exited about a minute after the first loading screen passed and nothing happened afterward. I had tested out a Lollipop RUU from HTC and was able to immediately get to the Terms and Agreements page after the loading screen; however, after accepting it, the install wizard also shut down and did not give me any further screens/pop-ups. My computers is running on Windows 10 right now; would that possibly be a reason why I can't proceed further?

Right click on the ruu exe and choose compatibility mode windows 7. It works like that for me on Windows 10.

You didn't properly describe that issue before (all you said was "haven't had much luck" with the RUU, which didn't really tell us anything), otherwise I could have given some insight earlier. Always be specific as possible when describing errors, failures, issues.
RUU can be very finicky with PC configuration. Win7 and USB2.0 have the best luck with compatibility. You can try compatibility mode, as the previous response indicated. Also try a different USB port. Also check if your PC has C++ 2008 Package installed, and if not, install it: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29
But if these still don't help, you may need to try a different PC, if possible.

I tried compatibility mode for Win7 and Win8, and attempted through various USB ports, but still couldn't get it to budge. I double checked the C++ Packages and already had the 2008 package and the others listed in another XDA post I found. I ended up trying on a friend's computer who was running Win8.1 and surprisingly got it to work in one go without any errors at all. Figures the problem was my computer that didn't allow me to run the .exe.
Thanks for your patience and guidance; I really do appreciate you helping me out. I was ready to throw in the towel a few days ago, but was able to get everything to work with your help.

You are very welcome, and glad to see you go the RUU to work.
If you still want to root, it looks like you've learned from your mistakes; but to summarize the proper root method:
1) Unlock bootloader again via HTCDev.com. If you still have the bin code from last time, you might be able to reuse it, with the proper fastboot command, to unlock the bootloader. Otherwise, just go through the HTCDev.com process again, and get a new code.
2) Install current TWRP 3.0. TWRP files, and instructions to install by fastboot method are here: https://twrp.me/devices/htconem8gsm.html
3) Download and flash SuperSU in TWRP. Recommend latest stable version SupersSU 2.76: https://download.chainfire.eu/969/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip
im one of the ones that took the last OTA 2.95.651.6 that cant use the htcdev unlock... I get a response that it worked but I never get the accept on my phone. I am also stuck in a bootloop right after the sprint logo so I cant even verify if oem unlock or debugging are on...
Ive tried every ruu I could find for any 3d and all of them fail for different reason. The only fix I am aware of is applying the ota again but as far as I know that was never released... Any ideas? Im not afraid of braking it as its a funny looking paperweight right now...
Please let me know if you find any solution or working ROM, I tried all the links and they are all down

I just got a pure stock sprint 3vo already on that OTA version and had no issues with the htcdev unlock. I had to use it to root and get the MSL, or at least kinda needed it and Sprint had no interest in giving it to me without an active account.
have you been using the window$ .exe RUUs or the PG86IMG.zip files you put on the root of the sdcard before starting the phone to the bootloader? I've had better luck with the .zip files (well, honestly, I've never run a window$ RUU except in a virtual machine just to extract the zip anyway.)
when you flash the RUU from sdcard, you get error messages on screen (if any) which likely make more sense than whatever the .exe might spit out.
perhaps I can help, though I'm not on the forums a lot these days. PMs should pop up in my email to get my attention, but any tech support I'll respond in the thread so others can benefit from the info.
I also have a functional USPS mailbox for more serious debugging, I feel that I'm fairly honest and already have a plethora of other phones anyway (I believe 2 functioning Virgin 3vos and now one Sprint branded one have joined my collection of Android hacking-at toys.)

a lot of the external hosting sites have gone belly-up, or worse, like androidfilehost, they deleted everything old. I lost tons of files when they decided to purge with absolutely no warning and all I can figure out is that it had something to do with the age of the uploads, because it wasn't just my files that went AWOL.
for working ROMs, there's some older ones here and more goodies here (RUUs)
and the last LiquidSmooth kitkat is here
bear in mind you may have to find the original ROM threads for the archived ones above to know which HBOOT (and maybe even radio) you need to use for each. the 3vo is picky about those.
the mods hopefully won't get uppity about me cross-forum posting, since they already destroyed the organization of the evo 3d forum here by combining general threads with both of the entire CDMA and GSM development subforums at some point in time I missed seeing until it was too late.
for the 3d forum here, this thread is particularly useful.
Evo3d(CDMA)HBoot/S-off Differences & Rooting Background Info 10-13-12
this post here (linked from inside the one just above) has all the HBOOT zip files too.

you should also be able to see if it's unlocked or not in the bootloader itself in the text at the top of the screen. It'll say locked or unlocked. if it's unlocked but s-on, RUUs will fail to install.
if so, put it in fastboot from the bootloader and
fastboot oem lock
then it should accept the current RUU to match the OTA you took.
So as the phone sits now it hangs at the Sprint logo until the battery runs out or I reset it.
it is S-ON and Locked......
I cannot verify if debugging is enabled (Pretty sure it isnt)
Bootloader unlock.bin command says its successfully sent the unlock file from HTCdev with a sending time of 0.0, The dialog never shows on my phone to unlock and the bar on the right that is supposed to show the status of updates and such never comes on
Ive tried relocking and then unlocking
Ive tried from win7 32/64 os's and windows 10 64.
Ive also done this using USB 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1 slots as well as others.
I've used a known good samsung cable and a couple of off brand cables
Ive tried with and without the fastboot registry fix for HTC and mixes of fastboot/adb from everywhere

I've never used windows to flash an HTC, but if you downloaded fastboot from htcdev and their chunk of junk software that contains the drivers (htc sync or something, I forget) that part shouldn't matter (maybe)
you can get to the bootloader, so the phone isn't bricked.
to test the cable, you could try "fastboot getvar all" and see if there's output.
definitely no USB3 from what I've read, the phone predates that being in common use and the unlimited.io wire trick instructions say it's a no-no, they suggest the stock HTC cable too, but I used a solid offbrand cable to s-off, so the cable's not critical as long as its communicating.
try this RUU from here
put it on sdcard named PG86IMG.zip and put the phone into the bootloader (volume down while powering on.)
That'll at least get Windows out of the equation.
AndroidForums said:
How to use a PG86IMG.zip file!
SPOILER
1. Place the file on the root of your sd card (not in any folders).
2. Rename the file to PG86IMG.zip
3. Reboot into bootloader.
4. When asked to update, say yes by hitting volume up.
5. When it's all finished, hit power button to reboot.
7. *Important! After booting up, immediately rename or delete the file.

ive tried running it from recovery for funz as well an I get "Invalid operation" oem=00
hm, maybe my sprint 3vo let me flash that because it's s-off , but if you can't even get it to flash that RUUzip off the sdcard with the bootloader, all I can think of is digging into the unbrick thread and getting creative.
or replacing it with a cheapie off ebay, my sprint model was under $7 shipped from eBay and moving the main board into one with a good screen...
within the week I intend to post a lineage 11 kitkat current build so the browser works on https, unlike any of the vintaged roms which are still downloadable, if you want incentive.
if you give up on yours, I'm game to poke at it, rather than it going in the refuse...
I've got some experience with this phone and reviving uppity devices.
I even work at an Apple repair shop for service credibility (and certified, though Apple really sucks, it's still a tech job.)
Honestly, I just dont like that it isnt working....
I have real use for it, just wanted to get it working to play with it. Its in REALLY poor condition. It was stolen from me twice and the second time it was damaged but still operational. I am pretty sure what I need to recover it is the final 2.95.651.6 from Sprint that isn't anywhere I can find online and as you said, customer service isnt very....helpful....
Now I saw the ruu unpacking thread and I wonder if a ruu could be built with the correct version all
with it locked and s-on any ruu will have to be signed by htc to install.
I'm fresh out of ideas. since all my 3vos but the one I just got are virgin mobile branded, most of my stored files are for that, the only sprint ruu files I've found yet are in the Android forums link.
and I didn't look very hard, since mine went s-off super easy on the very first tickle with the wire trick and I can install any ruu I want.
if you're desperate enough, maybe taking it s-off would allow you to flash an older ruu. if it'll s-off in its current condition. it's supposed to be unlocked for that and on stock rom.
the unlimited.io pages for the wire trick are gone, but they live on through the Wayback Machine (Internet Archive) including download links.
did you try using the stock recovery which should be on yours and do a factory reset through there?
That's the error I get going into recovery and the results from that factory reset...
My stuff is never easy to fix lol if I'mma have an issue it's gonna be complicated ?
can you get a picture of the hboot screen?
It's from fastboot menu but the tops the same
one more thing, can you
fastboot getvar all
I hate to give up on something like this where it's only soft bricked. still boots to the bootloader, and still has fastboot.
it clearly didn't unlock though, like you said.
also a thought:
have you tried retrieving the
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
again and getting a fresh download of the unlock token from htc? maybe the one you have got corrupted.
and since you're dealing with Micro$oft, you might have to uninstall all the htc drivers and install the htc sync program for the 3d to get the correct one. it sounds like you've been playing with a lot of modifications.
ubuntu live cd might be worth a try, there's no nonsense about device drivers in ubuntu for android phones.
I have gotten the unlock token 6 times now I've tried from win7 and win10, Kali Linux, FWUL, and from android to android (I have adb on my essential) I can try Ubuntu live though, won't hurt to try....
I was looking for a good copy of the urt HTC recovery bootable but no luck
