[HTC Wildfire S] -Duir-:
Tried doing this with my phone using the following RUU:

Carrier ROM Model#

Metro PSC	1.05.1550.00	PG7621000

(I'm assuming typo on their part and they meant MetroPCS)

My Phone is HTC Wildfire S and my carrier is MetroPCS.

My ROM is already 1.05.1550 but my hboot is only 1.06.0000 and htcdev says it needs to be updated (by the RUU I'm assuming) to 1.09.0000.

However when I run the RUU it goes all the way to rebooting into the bootloader and then gives "Error [130]: Model ID Error"

My phone is already S-OFF and rooted so not sure if that is causing issues. Also I know my phone is HTC-PG762, not sure how to make sure it's PG7621000.

Any help is appreciated.

Also, would manually flashing the rom.zip from the RUU be advisable?

(I noticed this RUU only has one where some I have seen mentioned have 2)

Hey guys, I've been trying to unlock my HTC Chacha.

Long story short: I bought a demonstration device. First it would only play a video (you know, the commercial video). I wiped the user data and now it boots into something android-looking. After a minute, the screen goes black (not off-black, just black) and nothing happens. Before that, the phone doesn't react to anything. It also doesn't accept SIM-cards.

When being at the fastboot/token-step, it tells me the command is unknown. And leaves me with no output.

I bought that phone for thirty bucks and really hope I can get it to work, but I don't have much experience with it (only rooted and flashed my current phone), does anyone think they could help me? Just tell me which data you need.
[HTC Wildfire S] theq86:
Although the steps are equal for most HTC devices, this is the Wildfire S forum, not the ChaCha one.
[HTC Wildfire S] miss-sawa:
I know, but I can't post on the equalent Chacha threads. And since the Chacha unlocking tutorials link to this thread, I thought I could try it. I'll move then ;>
[HTC Wildfire S] theq86:
Well, as I said. The unlocking process is quite equal between all HTC devices. So you can follow this tutorial.

I did not know that the chacha people just link to this tutorial, so it's not your fault.
[HTC Wildfire S] kamikaze-ray:
Can someone please help me.

Hello guys,

Trying to unlock wife's S A510e here... Unfortunately, although it's an unbranded phone I'm still getting a [130] error (incorrect ID). I tried with the HTC EU file (PG7610000_Marvel_hboot_1.09.0099_2.13.401.3_0210_R.exe), though since my phone was imported in the 'gray' market I'm not 100% sure about its origin. I do think it came from Germany though, and ROM version is correct for this file (2.13.401.3).

Any ideas on what I should try?

Btw, when booting in recovery I get this:

MARVEL PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.08.0000

MICROP-0451

RADIO-7.54.39.28M

Oct 31 2011,20:38;16

Does this mean I can go on and flash custom recovery and ROM then? Also, if I continue to recovery I get the exclamation mark in the red triangle, not sure if this should be so...

Thanks!

PS I also made a Goldcard, even though SimpleGoldCard told me CID was already reversed, nothing... :(

PS2 Tried installing CWM recovery, fastboot.exe couldn't write...

[HTC Wildfire S] krakout:
I thought so, but:

So... I don't know, maybe it's not real S-OFF somehow?

[EDIT] Damn... I just wiped the phone through the Settings menu hoping for something better, but still nothing. At this point I'm desparate :( Is there another reason for permroot *that works* maybe?
[HTC Wildfire S] hascimal:
1a) Download tools.zip and test the last version of fastboot.

-------------

1b) Install ROM Manager from the market and Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
[HTC Wildfire S] krakout:
ROM Manager fails to write the recovery file. Thanks for the zip, but the results remain the same... remote:not allowed on writing the image.

I wonder if we should go back to the original question - what do I have to check to get past the [130] error?

[EDIT] What do you know... Supertool seems to have done it! It had failed when I originally tried it but now it allowed me to install CWM recovery and I booted into it, so I guess I'm good to go with flashing a custom ROM or am I missing something?
[HTC Wildfire S] hascimal:
Boot into ClockWorkMod Recovery, Backup everything, wipe data/factory reset, install a rom from zip ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oRAirwolf:
I am trying to wipe my virtual SD card on my LTE Galaxy Nexus and it is acting weird.

If I do a factory reset via the settings on the phone, it says it erases all of the files on the SD card. When I hook the phone up to my computer and view the files in explorer, it shows a stock directory structure and root. However, if I try and copy over a file that existed on the SD card before formatting, it says the file is already there and asks me if I want to replace it. If I view the SD card in root explorer, it shows all of the old folders and files, even though they dont show up in windows explorer. Also, if I boot into Clockwork and choose a .zip to flash, it shows all of the old folders and files as well.

I have tried using the super wipe lite script that comes with Android revolution. I have also factory reset the phone a few times via the settings. I previously had Android Revolution installed and I am currently running GummyNex 0.4.2.

No matter what I do, I cannot for the life of me get the SD card to truly reformat.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there an ADB command I can do to reformat it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Try formatting with cwm recovery. Reboot into recovery, go to mounts and storage, and select format sdcard
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oRAirwolf:
There is not an option in CWM to format the SD card

There isn't any "SD Card" partition.

EDIT: Format /data cannot be done in adb, if you really want to do so just make a CWMR flashable zip with

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/userdata", "0");

in the updater-script.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mendy817:
bumping this... same issue and its driving me crazy. i can't see any of my files unless i use a file explorer (or if i'm in recovery)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
If you are having an issue finding your files from your PC it's due to the way Android exposes your "internal sdcard" via MTP. Download an app from the Market called SDrescan which will force the media services on your phone to re-index your files on the phone. Then they will show up on your PC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mendy817:
thanks, but i've already tried that. it just sits on "scanning" for literally hours (i left it up overnight once just to make sure). any other advice?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simplistian:
I do not recommend doing this indeed. To be failsafe just delete everything in the /sdcard folder with an explorer app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
I use

fastboot /w

To do a full wipe. This will wipe /sdcard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
Are you on a ROM and/or modified kernel? If you are using Franco's kernel he has made modifications to how the "sdcard" works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mendy817:
yeah, i'm on the latest CND and using franco's latest too... but i've flashed other kernals and had the same problem (but are you saying this might have started the first time i flashed a franco kernal?)

anyway to fix it that you know of?

I have a rooted MT4GS w/ the Revolutionary bootloader. I noticed that running

brings up the list of commands that can be run.

Coming from the G2, I know that a couple of commands are missing. I'm most concerned with this command

so that I can mac spoof in order to use my university's wifi.

If I have a copy of HBOOT 1.44.0006, obtained using

and I have S-OFF (via unrevoked), do you think I can switch to the HBOOT 1.44.0006 using the inverse of the previous dd command? And if so, does anybody know the mmcblk0p? number or have a copy of that specific HBOOT version?

Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
i wonder if you could flash that HBOOT by using this stock RUU for our device?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178082

IF you have the .0006 HBOOT in the proper format, i bet you could delete everything in the RUU zip except perhaps the android_info.txt, then paste in the copy that you have of the HBOOT. this is basically what i did to flash ClockworkMod thru the bootloader. you could always test it by renaming it PG59IMG.zip, putting it on the root of your sdcard and booting into the bootloader. you could see if it reads the file properly and prompts you to update(it should show that you will only be 'updating' the HBOOT). if it does this and you're brave, you could try updating.

not sure if this is what you mean or not :) also not positive if this is the way to do it. but the RUU definitely does flash an HBOOT, so if you have it in the proper format, maybe it could work?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Etn40ff:
I messed up a little with strings (1) and file (1). Apparently hboot is stored in /dev/block/mmcblk0p12. If you feel really adventurous you can try to flash a new hboot via dd as you suggested.

I am not 100% sure it will help you: revolutionary hboot (1.44.1107) contains some reference to emapiWlanMac even if it gives an error if you try to use the command.

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

question: where have you got 1.44.0006 ???

I just compared 1.44.0007 (the original hboot) with 1.44.1107 (revolutionary's). They are almost identical: I guess they simply hexedited the significant bits to unlock it (they also changed version number and added the "-Revolutionary-" signature) so none of them will help you change your mac address.

Hboot 1.45.0013 (the latest hboot) is a significantly different beast and might have the desired features but I would not flash it since it will lock your phone again.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] thrice43:
I'm down to try the dd command, but I'll still need a copy of the 1.44.0006 hboot. If anybody has the 1.44.0006 hboot, can you please open a terminal and run

Then send me the file on you sdcard?

I know that HTC's engineering bootloader enables the use of more "fastboot oem xxx" commands, and many of them are missing with revolutionary's bootlaoder
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Etn40ff:
at least these 2 guys had 1.44.0006 sometime in the past

daniel60104 and nyolsson

try to pm them and see if they can help (I'd love an ENG bootloader).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Man, me too. I'd love a copy of that to play with.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] thrice43:
I just PM'd them now. I hope we can still find a copy, at least for reference sake, since there no XDA Wiki entry for the MT4G yet
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] moe.:
i jsut tested this theory and it does work. when i had a custom recovery and custom rom, my hboot was 1.44.1107. when i reflashed the stock rom posted in these forums, it reverted to 1.44.0007.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] thrice43:
But its still S-OFF no?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
It should still be S-OFF after having done that, that's the result I always end up with.

If it somehow magically went back to S-ON, a whole lot of people (myself included) will be dying to know what happened and how to do it again.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
yep, so far S-OFF has been a key safety valve that no one has managed to lose once they had it, whether downgrading or updating :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] moe.:
It IS, in fact, still s off. Pretty sure that's been determined as passing the point of no return, once you turn it off.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] thrice43:
We would know for sure if its truly the "point of no return" if somebody can grab ahold of that ENG_Hboot 1.44.0006. As with 1.44.0007 or any other hboot, I know the S-off status is irreversible.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] thrice43:
Upon running dd if=S-OnHboot of=mmcblk0p12, then m5sum check, it seems that mmcblk012 cannot be written to. Therefore, I believe its safe to assume write protection is still enabled for select partitions, even though revolutionary claims otherwise.

Anybody know a workaround? I found a kernel module that's compiled for htc vision, called wpthis.ko, that enables writing to hboot partition but it wouldnt work cuz its not for mt4gs.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
like i was saying before, if you had a copy of it, couldn't you just flash it thru the HBOOT itself as a PG59IMG.zip? when you flash the full factory firmware that way, it changes you back to the stock HBOOT, but still S-OFF of course.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
This is most likely what you'll have to do to get it on - making a copy of what's there should be no problem.

To my understanding, the kernel prevents you from writing outside of a certain memory range unless you are in fastboot mode or flashing a failsafe-recovery (PG59...)

This is why I was unable to include a bootsplash as part of what changed when you flashed my ROM - I wasted a solid day of development pre-release trying to figure out how to get it to flash the boot splash as well when you flashed the ROM.

In fastboot or using a failsafe-recovery image, it happens before any higher-level software (kernel ...cough...cough) starts up and you aren't held to that limitation.

Edit -

re-writing the software to allow you to flash things out of the safe memory range in recovery mode would be a disastrously bad idea. We will start getting reports of bricked phones left and right if someone does that.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Etn40ff:
The obvious (since it was not mentioned yet):

fastboot erase hboot
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img

The only issue here might be that the new hboot has no fastboot in it so you may nit be able to revert using the same flashing metod.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] moe.:
Why not just flash the whole stock rom image? It includes the hboot
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
he's looking for the stock ENG HBOOT, which very few people have had.

but here is another guy who did have it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330617

Beautiful. Thanks yogi!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] thrice43:
Yah everybody. Thnx for all the feedback. I appreciate it. I'm still dying for those who do have the ENG Hboot to post a copy tho 8(. And flashing hboot using fastboot doesn't seem like a bad idea either
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] daniel60104:
Oh. Hello. Thought I'd never come back to here again

Thank you daniel60401. I was able to downgrade hboot and fastboot using

dd if=hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12

So now I'm thinking maybe if users with s-on bootloaders temp root and then run that command maybe they can s-off using that technique.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Appreciate you posting this. I got a doubleshot on the way back from HTC -who knows what software will be on it when I get it.

I intend to flash this hboot to it when I get it back in, came back to this thread to see if anyone had found it, and here it is.

Thanks again!

Fantastic!

Temp root is the best way to get around a lot, flashing PG59.img leaves you with a stock recovery - temp root, rom manager from the market, install new clockworkmod & get rid of stock recovery. Easy.

This will probably come in handy when I get my device back. Good thread.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Shivansh:
Couple of noob questions (I'd rather be silly than sorry...lol)

1) Can this hboot be used on a device that is s-off using revolutionary? If yes, what's the command.

2) Would this give you a stock eng boot loader with a functionality to flash custom roms and keep su?

3) Would this revert the device to s-on?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] thrice43:
1) Yes. This is the Engineering hboot that very few user had preinstalled when they got their doubleshot. There are two ways to install this.

A.) If already s-off, download the stock rom, PG59IMG.zip (search somewhere in forum) and replace the hboot file within the zip. Then place on root of sdcard (make sure its named PG59IMG.zip) and turn off phone, turn back on by holding vol_down+power and it'll ask if u wanna update at white screen.

B.) If you're already s-off, place the hboot file from previous post, on sdcard and do "dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12". Then make sure it actually wrote hboot.img to mmcblk0p12 by comparing the output of "md5sum hboot.img" to "md5sum /dev/block/mmcblk0p12".

*.) Also, if your phone is s-on, you may be able to completely avoid using the revolutionary method by first temp-rooting (search around in forums), and then doing "dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12". Or by flashing clockworkmod recovery and using adb shell to run that command

2.) Since this is an s-off bootloader directly from HTC, once you have s-off and clockworkmod recovery installed, it'll be able to run custom roms and everything else

3.) This will not revert your phone to s-on. Once revoultionary has been used, s-off is permanent. But maybe if revolutionary has never been used, and instead this engineering hboot was used to achieve s-off, s-on status can probably be obtained by flashing the official PG59IMG.zip?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Etn40ff:
thrice43, were you able to change you mac address using this hboot? I was comparing the output of fastboot oem ? with the revolutionary hboot and I do not see many differencies.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] thrice43:
Nope. I believe it's because I used revolutionary. Perhaps if s-off'd without revolutionary.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
Tried it just now, did not work. I'm still seeing SHIP S-ON, hboot-1.44.0007, on mine. Didn't think it'd work but was worth the try :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] thrice43:
Have you tried temp-root, then flash clockworkmod recovery manually (dd if=/sdcard/clockworkmod.img of=/dev/block/<recoverypartition>), then reboot to recovery, and then using adb shell to execute "dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12"?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Etn40ff:
IMHO temproot will not be enough: you need s-off to be able to write on certain emmc partitions
