Going in circles. Cannot flash RUU. Relocked and cannot unlock. - HTC Rezound

Hi all,
I have been using my Rezound running Plain Andy as a wifi only single purpose device to play Pokemon Duel. This worked fine until I tried to do a software reboot the other day, and the device wouldn't come back up. I was only able to get into fastboot and recovery.
Being less than wise, I went through a series of steps that I cannot fully recount. My first hiccup was that I could not mount /cache, etc. and every attempt to flash anything was failing. I tried going through any number of recoveries to see if any would resolve my problems. Nothing seemed to be making any difference.
Most of the old threads that I was reading were pointing to flashing an RUU. I resisted doing this for some time, but I was unable to work around it. Everything said that I had to be S-on to flash an RUU, so I relocked.
Now, I think that I made a big mistake there, because I cannot unlock with the normal process. Every attempt fails. I suspect that this might have to do with my device being in a non-standard state that the website will not generate accept a token from. Perhaps this is mistaken.
My current state is:
*** RELOCKED ***
VIGOR PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-2.28.0000

eMMC-boot
Sep 20 2012,17:40:22
Recovery is PhilZ Touch 6.19.3 Clockwork Mod 6.0.4.7
I feel like I have made wrong turns at every step. If I am not mistaken, this recovery makes charging not work properly in a power-off state. Also, this HBOOT (same as mainver?) prevents me from running any available RUU. Finally, my current state does not seem to be allowing me to unlock my device again.
I hope that someone is still around who is able to help me. I saw one thread discussing using a shell into the system to modify the mainver, but the last thing I want to do is go one more step in the wrong direction before I seek help. I fear it may already be too late.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

What process are you using to upgrade? Looks like official means like the RUU?
Did you change it to S-on, or did that happen automatically?

thank you for your care
Just flashing a custom ROM would not make you S-on, nor change the hboot version. You must have done something else also. Are there perhaps some steps you did, that you forgot to mention?

I really don't remember that I did something more , except that I do install revolutionary v6 ( I think ) then when I did not find the Power Off option in it I do reinstall revolutionary v4, that's all I do remember
I am sorry for my bad memory, but I really do thank you for your help
When you mention revolutionary v4 and v6, I believe you are talking about the revolutionary version of the Clockworkmod recovery. Flashing different recoveries would not have made you S-on, would not have unlocked the bootloader, and would not have upgraded your hboot. You must have done some other steps you are forgetting, for these things to have happened. Steps you really shouldn't have done, as you are in a much worse position now than before (when you were s-off).
S-off will not go back to S-on by itself. It is only changed if you specifically make it S-on. Similarly with hboot, it won't change by itself, by flashing a custom ROM or custom recovery (its usually changed by running an RUU or installing an OTA). You did something to change the hboot version.
In the future, I recommend being much more methodical about what steps you take. Keep track of the steps, understand what you are doing, and don't try anything unless you are confidant its correct. Its very difficult to help you, if you don't even remember what you did. And not remembering what you did implies that you might have been rushing a bit, and trying things without fully understanding what you are doing. As I mentioned, the result now is that you have done much more harm than good. Modding the phone without fully understanding what you are doing can also easily result in a bricked device. Although I sympathize that its hard on this device in particular, since this forum has become very quiet these days, with not many users here to get advice from.
You options at this point are:
1) Try to downgrade hboot, so you can get S-off again. Your current hboot is not compatible with the evolutionary S-off method. I can't personally vouch for this method, but it seemed to at least work for the OP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070140
2) Live with S-on and an unlocked bootloader. You can still flash ROMs. All it means is that you have to flash boot.img seperately using fastboot (with Flyer connected to computer), every time you flash a custom ROM. You also can't flash radios with S-on (may or may not be important to you).
This is the easier option in your present condition, as you are already bootloader unlocked (based on the UNLOCKED flag in hboot). As long as you have CWM installed, you are already set to flash custom ROMs. If you are having problems flashing the ROM you linked, I believe the steps of flashing boot.img using fastboot is all you are missing. See my post here for details on how to do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37898551&postcount=2

I know that I give u a big headache with my silly questions and I really value your help
I think what's make it S-ON that I use HCT site to unlock the device and the Hboot change when I start the proses of upgrading to HC( that's what come up to my mind) any way to flow the way in step 1 I believe I should be on Android but as u know that the device is just start with HTC on a white screen and the a black screen with backlight ( like it try to start the rom but it can't) so can that way work
According to step 2, I really don't care if it S-ON or S-OFF as long as it work and I can install a custom rom

Unlocking at HTCDev.com won't make you S-on, and I don't think changing the hboot would, either.
You're not giving me a headache. But I just don't understand why people mod their phones without really understanding what they are doing. If you were S-off, there is no reason why you should have tried to unlock the bootloader via HTCDev.com.

I agree, this is probably the easiest way to get the device on HC. Just flash a HC ROM and flash the boot.img using fastboot.
Thank you, now it's working ok with this info:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409296
thank you very much for all you help and support
Sure, you can flash any HC, ICS or JB custom ROM that you see in the Development section. They are all flashed the same way. Just put the ROM on your SD, boot recovery, wipe user data (factory reset) wipe Dalvik, wipe cache, and flash the ROM. GB ROMs require a different hboot. So if you want to flash any of those, you would have to downgrade back to the GB hboot (guide can be found in Development forum). Probably not worth the hassle, unless you really want to revert to GB and stay there.
Your welcome. Please click the "Thanks" button for any posts that helped you.
Any HC rom
after I install Cool3D-Honey-v6-Flyer rom I discover that I can't make the Bluetooth headset work, it is " connected but not paired " and after searching hear and there I can't find a rom support the Bluetooth headset
So is there is any HC rom get that fix and work?

Soft brick? (hboot/radio woes)

GSM version. I was originally trying to solve my 'wifi-wont turn on' problem, ended up trying to flash a custom ROM, which meant I had to perform the S-OFF wire trick, which was a pain in the ass, but successful.
Right now I'm at the following specs, and no idea how to continue. No matter what I do seems to leave me in the same place. Ive tried multiple ROMs now and every time I try to upgrade/downgrade the hboot or the radio it gives me "model ID incorrect" and reboot.

Ultimately plan on putting a data-only SIM in and mounting it in my car. Don't make me use my Xperia Play instead!
[edit]Forgot to mention I have the PG86310, which after some googling indicates is a bad thing
i dont know about the the PG86310 but you could try using this method to downgrade hboot. then wipe data+caches in recovery and flash a custom rom
Okay I successfully downgraded my hboot to 1.49.008 using a combination of the above link, and files from the original Rogers RUU. I was able to boot the stock ROM and re-unlock my device. I'm now at HBoot 1.49.008, unlocked, S-Off
Stock ROM wifi,bluetooth,gps not working
Tried a 4.2.2 custom ROM (it booted this time!!) and wifi, bluetooth, gps not working.
Dang, this phone never had hardware problems, hoping its something stupid i'm overlooking

[Q] phone s-on, no rom?, need some serious help!

When it comes to rooting im usually not a noob and I can usually figure out how to make it work or fix it. But I have a problem, I tried flashing Dirty Unicorn (newest one) and well I guess I didnt realize i had S-ON so my system ended up not working and when it boots up all it will show is the white htc logo (no beats logo) then it will reboot and keep going. And I tried a lot of things and none worked and I ended up relocking my evo.(oh and what do you ****ing know, when backing up it all it backed up everything to phone memory and not microSD so thats allll wiped) Here is what i see

Okay and well i can't access my twrp recovery now either (oh ****) and I finally find the androidruu and the jewel but I already hate the stupid site because my download speed won't rise above 70 KB per second and thats not even the average speed! (I have a considerably fast internet) but its the only place i can seem to find the RUUs and Im still not sure which one to use but i know it has to be one of the last three (I hope im right?) And well ive tried doing all the S-off but never seemed to work. The people who make DirtyRacun also need to be more specific, could have had it completed but i never started since I only saw a linux option -.- So i skipped it but it seems now my only hope is on the 3 hour long RUU download which seems to be randomly stopping and saying completed before it even finished (on two different computers). Can anyone help me out? Also I bricked (soft i think) my last evo lte but I was able to recover it with ruu but this time it seems im totally stuck.
You need to unlock your bootloader again, first off. Second, hit the link in my sig for fixing the phone after a system wipe. Third, you really need to S-off.
Also, there is no RUU for you to use with what you're running.

[Q] Previously "rooted" S-ON and need help updating.

A while ago, I followed a root method I found here so that I could pair my DualShock3 controller to my phone and it worked successfully.
Then after a few months, I started getting messages about wanting to update my phone, but the install provided from Sprint always failed. I typically just ignored the System Update messages because everything worked fine exactly the way I wanted it to. Then about a week ago, the reminders increased in frequency, like once a hour. I though, hey, lets go back to factory and update, then I can root again. So I went into the recovery of the phone and found the option for Factory Reset under the "Wipe" Menu. I hit the button, but it apparently also wiped some things off the ROM. Now, when I try to boot the phone, It just sits at the HTC logo.
I can still access the bootloader and the custom recovery, and I even found what looks to be the right ROM Version and moved it to the phone, but it appears that the ROM I downloaded is for S-OFF bootloaders only. The problem now is, that I cannot find any instructions that work for the older version in obtaining S-OFF with my phone. So, can someone please help me in getting my phone updated, either S-ON or S-OFF, I just want my DualShock to work at the end and have my phone usable, which it currently is not.
Here are the vitals.

I guess, what I really may need is the S-ON stock image for H-BOOT 1.19.0000, but every time I find a link, its dead. Does anyone know where I can find this? That way I can at least get back into my phone to attempt to figure out how to update it again.
Hit the link below. It's the 3.17 RUU. Afterwards, you can root your phone again with HTC Dev. I also suggest gaining S-off.

ALL RUUs fail - Hboot 1.15 - TWRP recovery and Fastboot is all I can do

I was migrating from an older HTC LTE to a different one due to a cracked screen. I tried to use one nandroid from one to the other.. This failed. I believe it was due to partition sizes being different (that is guess based on what is coming).
Since then I have tried many different RUUs each fail to finish with a 159 error.
Here are the RUUs I have tried:
Code:
RUU_JEWEL_CL_ICS_40_Sprint_WWE_1.12.651.2_Radio_1.02.11.0423_2_NV_SPCS_2.28_003_release_257970_signed.exe

RUU_JEWEL_CL_ICS_40_Sprint_WWE_1.22.651.3_Radio_1.05.11.0606_NV_SPCS_2.45_003_release_268323_signed.exe

Manually I can fastboot and flash the boot image.
Trying to flash system gives me an error about the img being too big.
Is there any way to force the partitions to resize? Or what are the next steps?

Thanks in advance. At this point I just want to get a out of the box rom to load so the phone can boot. Do not even care about root or anything other than booting a rom.
Rick
Since you are s-on you need to re-lock your bootloader.
I assume you mean I need to unlock (S-OFF) the phone? I am not sure why to flash a RUU? Or are you suggesting something else?
Crazy, strange that I never knew that you had to be S-ON to flash an RUU. Seems like a stupid requirement. It is flashing now, getting much farther, so I guess it should work this time.
Thanks for the heads up!

You don't have to be s-on to flash an RUU but you do have to re-lock the bootloader.
How can I get my hboot to 2.10 to work with windroid? Have no root boot loader loocked on a HTC evo 4g lte. Just learning how to do all this hope to root my m8 later on
