Softbrick S-ON - HTC Desire 601

So I have no idea what I did, I was trying to reset all my settings on my HTC Zara UL phone but in the process of doing that PhillZ Recovery completely erased everything on my phone including the stock ROM. I'm trying so hard to flash both the TELUS JB or KK Updates and RUU's but for at least two days I have not been able to recover anything, I seriously feel like crying as my phone is my life, I've worked with HTC phones before but this one is very different. The problem I have is that I can't even flash Cyangenmod or even go into ADB mode and it's so frustrating and I'm trying my best to keep calm but I don't even know how to fix this. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

U r saying u have no os? Can u flash a stock rom via fastboot?

Pretty much, it won't let me flash a stock rom at all. I think I need to downgrade HBOOT but I'm not entirely sure how to.

Thats odd. U should be able to flash a rom. Whats ur hboot version? 2.20 is jb 2.22 is kk

2.2.0000

Is ur device unlocked?

Yes it is.

Try to wipe cache and dalvik cache then flash a kk rom. If it doesnt help then maybe someone else can help u

I was able to install CM!!

Via recovery?

Yes but it still bootloops :/

if s-on you have to extract and flash the boot.img , or am I wrong?!

If you are already trying to flash it via Fastboot, then I would just relock it and Ruu back to stock. If you aren't using Fastboot, will then that's 2/3 your problem.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Sounds like you didn't wipe right when you flashed ... You may be able to fastboot boot recovery.img and wipe and flash the rom if not like the other user said
Tho Wipe first everything not your SD card ....
Relock your phone.
Run the 2.17 RUU exe and redo the unlock code and flash a recovery..
Fastboot boot recovery.img
wipe everything not SD card
Flash rom....

EVO 3D CDMA ICS Help

I have the CDMA Evo 3D
*** UNLOCKED ***
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.50.0000
eMMC-boot
It is Rooted and running the Sprint 2.17 odex ROM 2.3.4 Gingerbread
With TWRP Recovery.
I've been reading forums for three weeks. No one has given me a clear answer.
What I want to do is get ICS. Now before you all facepalm and say "Use the wire trick noob" It's not that simple.
My phone was flashed to Boost Mobile. I didn't flash it and I have not the slightest Idea how to flash and according to support at http://www.unlimited.io The wire trick will clear my flash. So the wire trick is a no no.
Now there was a method where you flash the boot.img using fastboot
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
It pushes it and says success.
Then I reboot into recovery (vol down and power button)
and flash the ROM. It bootloops every single time.
I've been looking for a way to S-Off safely with no luck, so now I'm determined to master the flash process. All i want is One working ICS ROM for my device.
Thanks in advance for the help, Nova.
Have you tried to flash the kernel AFTER flashing the ROM?
It really is being s-on that is causing the issue.

Gonna try now will edit with updates
Wiped Cache/dalvik cache now flashing PARANOIDANDROID ICS ROm..
Flash succcessful, pulled the battery and vol down=power into bootloader
now in fastboot, flashing boot.img
Sending...
OKAY
*Random times here*
Finished
Now i've rebooted and the bootanimation is playing. I'll update to tell if it's bootlooping
Yup, still bootlooping.
ried entire process with Cool ICS ROm. NO BOOTLOOP ! YAY!
but instead it shows the homescreen for three seconds then shuts off.
The link below discusses Boost. The poster seems to know a lot about Boost so you might want to PM him about getting s-off. I really do think s-off will fix your issues.

Why don't you just flash a stock gingerbread ROM them stock recovery and relock your bootloader then take the ota update , let it install then unlock via HTC Dev again...
from what I learned from being S-ON with 1.5 unlocked, you have to:
flash the boot.img file BEFORE flashing the ROM. extract it from the ROM push it via fastboot, enter recovery via fastboot then wipe wipe WIPE everything except your SD card 3X, flash ROM, enjoy ICS goodness

Both are in the CDMA development stickies. I think rooting is still the same for the new ota.

If you are booting recovery via fast boot and then flashing a ROM, there is no need to flash boot.img separately. The recovery will work as if you are s-off. And there is no logic in wiping partitions 3x.....
Or you can directly flash a ROM from recovery without booting recovery via fast boot, and then flash boot.img via fast boot.
Or use 4ext recovery and turn smart flash on, and flash ROMs directly without using fast boot.

It might my friend..maybe..juuust maybe it will. If it does o0u can always try and reflash back to Boost?
As far as I know, both unknownforce's, and the wire trick to downgrade the bootloader to hboot 1.4 will erase your flash to boost... Ask me how I know...lol!
Have you tried the app flash image GUI? When I was s on, I used this app to flash the kernel, then I went to recovery, and flashed the Rom, and all worked as long as the kernel was compatible with the specific Rom I was flashing, maybe you can try flashing the VM leak kernel, then an ics Rom

That's just the way its ever worked for me so I found it was worth giving out my way at least as an opinion I know once you boot into recovery via fastboot is SUPPOSED to work that way, never did for me hence my weird method. Wiping partitions may not have any logic to you sir, but to some of us it does back from the OG EVO days, that's what devs there used to post, that's what I've gone with as a routine for myself.
I've known peeps who attempt the ROM first boot then reflash boot.img after- endless powercycle. Never happened when I tried it but eh
4EXT wasn't always around so I guess I'm still trying to get used to easier flashin on this phone. I enver used smart flash on this one because when I was S-ON I did it the fastboot method, then the Unknown Force method came to be and I never had a need for it.
Evo 3D on Boost S-off but problems with ICS ROMs
Background:
EVO 3D (CDMA) flashed to Boost Mobile. Sept 2011
Rooted HTC Method Oct 2011
ROMs ROMs ROMs until about 6 months ago (currently using Eternity Infected Rom 1.4.2)
Tried to go to ICS and had problems so did S-off wire trick Aug 2012 (Lost Boost Mobile flash) Had to reflash to Boost.
Now:
****Unlocked****
Shooter XC Ship S-OFF RL
HBOOT 1.50.0000
baseband 97.10.0808
I'm in a quandry at this point of what to do next.
I'm not able to successfully load any of the new ROMs. I tried just upgrading to Infected ROM 2.0 but it also always has issues like it forces me to use skype or email won't open. I'm guessing it is because I load my old data from Titanium backup and it isn't compatible. I tried Mean ROM and it works and changes my kernel but I don't like it as it is full of Sprint Bloatware which does me no good on Boost. I've tried to load the latest Viper ICS ROM and it just stays stuck on the HTC screen.

[q] need help. Ive tried it all....

Hey people. i cant get mt evo3d to boot past the fastboot menu. i know...ive read all the posts on it...but mines different. im unlocked,s-on,
hboot 1.57.0000,
when i try to load a rom<negalite, not a jb or CM> i reboot after install and i get popped to my fastboot screen. i am using ext4 recovery, and im flashing correctly...i also dont have a recovery img on root of SD, so thats not it either. i reinstalled the recovery, "rerooted", wiped, and then flashed
the rom. no custom kernal, etc...i just want it to boot normal. i can deal with everything else from there ...anyone know whats going on?
any takers?
Umm couple threads down you can find the fix. Or click this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354529
Now I will suggest going ahead and getting s-off. It will allow you to change your hboot so you can flash older roms and aosp roms which require the older hboot. S-off is really easy to do with little risk. Just make sure you read all the instructions multiple times. Also ask questions before you start if you are unsure of anything you will be doing.
With s-on you can only flash sense based ics roms and have to do extra steps to change kernels. The stock htc kernel is ok but there buttered toast is way better.
Also s-off is reversible so that you can have warranty work done. By unlocking through htc-dev you can relock but it leaves marker on your bootloader screen. So if sprint decided to check they will know it was unlocked. But when you revert from s-off there is nothing to tell sprint you were s-off.

if your hboot is 1.40 - there is no stock ROM available.

What is your hboot version?
I hope you have Android SDK installed and running in your system?
I guess I have just run into the same issue. I wasn't able to find any help in the "Device Essentials" thread, unfortunately.
I have no rom. ADB doesnt work when phone is in bootloader or recovery (twrp 2.6.3.0) and I can't mount the usb storage to get the rom onto my phone. I miss the days of my samsung captivate....It was so easy!! Thanks for reading.
I guess the key point here is that I can't sideload anything because adb isnt working in recovery. My hboot is 1.40.

Did you try one of the toolkits like Windroid or Hasoons Toolkit. I would use Hasoon2000's first to return device to stock condition, and then try Windroid if that does not work.

What does your heart really want? Do you want to run custom ROMs and have root or not? It mostly sounds like you may want to return to stock due to lack of understanding and knowledge. That's okay if you want to do that. But kinda against the spirit of XDA!
Relock the bootloader and RUU will return the phone to stock and unrooted.
But it just sounds like you have mismatched firmware (results in long boot times with no boot animation, which some folks mistake for it not being booted).
Also, the newest TWRP require updated hboot, so that is probably the problem there.
If you want the phone rooted, and running a custom ROM: either run a ROM that corresponds with your firmware, or s-off and update your firmware.
What hboot and radio numbers? S-on or S-off?

Holy run-on sentence! Seriously, please take the time to type a proper response with punctuation. Making it easier to read, makes it easier for me to help you. And that is what you want, isn't it???
I don't use my personal email for this type of support. That is what these forums are for.
Skydragon is probably not "stuck" but rather taking an extremely long time to boot (10+ minutes) with no boot animation, which often leads folks to believe its stuck altogether. If you leave it alone, it will probably boot eventually, but you may also find that WiFi is broken. Both are symptoms of the wrong firmware for the ROM you flashed.
Your hboot number also indicates that you don't have the right firmware installed, as firmware includes hboot as well as radio, WiFi, Bluetooth, and other modules.
On the AT&T variant, you will not have any "official" way to update the firmware to anything more up-to-date than 2.x firmware (hboot 3.17). You need 4.x firmware (hboot 3.19) to run the ROM you mentioned. Therefore you need s-off by sunshine (if not s-off already).
You can check s-on or s-off by booting into bootloader, and you will see it says one of the other near the top of the screen.
Alternately, if you don't s-off, you can flash a ROM that corresponds to your firmware. Try the following ROM, but putting the ROM zip on a removable SD card using a card reader connected to your computer (if you have those available). Then boot into recovery,navigate to the file and flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705640
Aside from that, you should really get your USB connectivity issue sorted out. You can't do much without it. Verify no response when you type fastboot devices when the phone is in fastboot mode. If it doesn't respond (should return device ID) then try a different USB cable, and different USB port. If on Windows, try going to Device Manager, finding the phone, and pick the option to manually select the drivers, than pick the USB MTP drivers (not the HTC ones). This will often fix adb/fastboot connectivity issues.
