The newest RUU will not effect your s-off. It will relock the bootloader, however. The only thing that this changes is the fact that you won't be able to issue fastboot commands. You can unlock with Vinylfreak's method or through htc dev again, but I find either of these to be unnecessary with s-off. You will not need to re-lock with s-off to run the ruu. Just place it on your sd card, flash in hboot, and you're good to go. Make sure after you flash the RUU to find a zip of Amon-Ra 3.15 that you can flash via hboot. Good luck!

Just to be clear. You WILL retain s-off after flashing RUU.
[HTC Rezound] Sax1031:
Yea I have Amon-Ra 3.15 ready to go. Will do later on today.

Thank you.
[HTC Rezound] iamwalterwhite:
You're welcome. The AR 3.15 that you flashed through fastboot when you were setting up your phone doesn't work in hboot (just so you're aware). I don't want to be a broken record, I just want to make sure that you have everything you need. In this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1615969 there is an hboot flashable of AR 3.15 in the op. It may also be useful if you have any problems after s-off.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
After you achieve s-off you don't need to unlock again, even though the boot loader says that it's locked you still have access to everything. Once you are S-off you no longer need to relock to flash RUUs. From what I've seen it's not recommended to unlock via htcdev if you are s-off, I'm not sure of the reason though. To regain access to fast boot commands all you have to do is flash an unlocked/modified hboot. There is a thread in the dev section called "hex edited hboots" just download the ph from there and flash it via hboot.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
The reason it's not recommended is because if you do, you'll get the relocked message if you lock again. If you don't unlock again, you'll have "locked" just like stock.

Yesterday I tried several times to Flash the Stock ICS Rom to my Evo3D using 4EXT Recovery. I even went so far as to Flash the Stock rom BEFORE the ICS update and try flashing the Stock ICS after that. The Stock before ICS worked but ICS continues to boot loop no matter what i try Does ANYONE have suggestions that would help me get past this boot loop situation???
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
It sounds like your best bet would be to relock and flash the RUU.exe from Windows since that will set everything to Sprint ICS stock and give you the proper base to run other ICS ROM's. You might also be able to flash it from the bootloader if you can find a properly signed RUU.zip.

Hi, This phone is of my friend, he brought it me when he faced the boot loop.

When I got it, it was on HBOOT 1.50, Unlocked and S-On.

I Relocked it used Fastboot and ran the ICS RUU downloaded from:- http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Shooter

"RUU_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_2.89.651.2_Radio_1.09.00.0706__NV_NV_SPCS_1.43_release_271101_signed"

Thanks

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] tarun_kabra:
Even the stock Rom didn't boot successfully, boot loop stays even after flashing the RUU. I am unable to boot into system.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
How did you flash the RUU?

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] tarun_kabra:
I booted in to Fastboot

Connected to PC (Fastboot USB) and executed RUU file.

Followed instructions of RUU file
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Sorry, but I don't know what else to suggest. If you ran the RUU.exe to the point where it was successful and automatically rebooted your phone when finished and the stock ROM still didn't boot, you probably have a hardware problem with your phone and will need to have it fixed.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] tarun_kabra:
Thanks for all the help.

Just one small question, what exactly can be the hardware issue?

And any hints, where I can get the repair done, anybody?
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffbindel:
Maybe you should try what I did. Instead of running the RUU for ICS I used an old one that got my phone to stock gingerbread. Once there I just installed all of the OTA updates that came thru and it updated all the way to ICS. Once there I unlocked again and now im able to flash custom ICS roms if i wanted too.

Hi

Like everyone else I'm excited to get Jelly Bean on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus.

I was going to try the Service Framework Clear Cache trick but noticed that I couldn't click the Clear Cache button, most likely because the cache says 0.00B. In the storage section the total is 120KB.

This doesn't sound normal. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TROndrey:
Update:

So I have no clue why there wasn't any cache in my Google Services Framework but I finally was able to force the Jelly Bean update.

This method is opposite what everyone else was telling me but it worked so...

Logon to Wifi then...

Settings > Apps > All > Google Service Framework

Clear Data

Force Stop

Home Button

Settings > About Phone > System Updates

Check Now

You may need to repeat this a couple times but as long as the date on the System Update page reads 1969 or something like that then you are on the right path. It took me 3 repeats of the above steps to get it to download/install Jelly Bean.

As far as I can tell clicking Clear Data does not get rid of anything important.

Best of luck to everyone else.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcogtt:
Coming from a sgs2 I really feel that OK, sgs3 is a hell of a hw but that ICS and JB are still not optimized as the GB stock was for s3.

And other than optimization I'm sure that GB was lighter to run and that is mainly what I'm missing from my new device now.

So I'm wondering....really? Nobody thought about building a GB realease for this huge machine which is s3?

Nobody out there is wondering what I'm wondering?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
It would theoretically be possible to port CM7 to the device but noone in his right mind is gonna do this endeavour.

Most people complaining about ICS/JB being slower are referring to the transition animations.

Try going to System Settings->Developer Options and setting the Window-, Transition and Animator scales to 0 or 0.5

Stock ICS itself is only somewhat bigger than GB, make sure you get rid of bloatware.

Look don't get me wrong but I already tried everything.

And trust me today I was putting my hand on my girlfriend s2 and that is another world.

What is different is basically the responsiveness in regards to the touch. And somehow the touch precision.

I put on my dli7 the developer mode to see the small dot wherever I'm touching the screen. Most of the time when I'm scrolling I'm seeing this dot this mean that my finger is faster than the touchscreen. This would never happen on a s2 and that is what I'm feeling as something really missing.

BTW to answer your question ive transition at 0 and everything what possible is demanded to GPU only.

unzip gz move apk to system apks

fix permissions, reboot to recovery, wipe cache, reboot

[HTC Sensation] fdavidson:
Hi,

First of all, sorry if this has already been answered somewhere else but I literally spent the last 3 days gathering information on xda reading threads more of less related to my specific problem. I would appreciate any new piece of information that I could have missed.

I had a custom ROM (ARHD 7.1). I wanted to go back to stock ROM for my provider (Bell Mobility). I successfully went back to GB 2.3.4 by flashing my provider's RUU. My phone would not take OTA update to ICS (4.0.3). I changed my SuperCID back to carrier-specific and phone took OTA update. However, it didn't reboot properly. I thought that this was because I was S-OFF and unlocked. I changed to S-ON but that bricked the phone (not even powering on). I found a tool to unbrick the phone that flashes a proper HBOOT (1.17 in my case). That fixed the brick problem and I could get back to bootloader. Since then, I'm stucked with a phone that doesn't boot into the ROM and cannot get into recovery. I can get into bootloader but given that I am S-ON, I'm very limited to what I can do.

I have tried re-flashing my 1.45.666.1 RUU but it looks like some time ago (don't ask me why...), I changed my MID to PG5810000 and the RUU is expecting PG5811000 so it is not possible to use RUU. I even tried modifying the android-info.txt with my MID but then RUU failed for another reason (bad signature I think).

So, this is very confusing but if I could summarize, I would say

*Cannot boot into stock ROM (it should be GB 2.3.4 from Bell Mobility)

*Can boot in bootloader

*S-ON

*MID=PG581000 (should be PG5811000 according to my provider Bell Mobility)

*CID=BM____001 (it is the correct one for Bell Mobility)

Is there any thing I can do to recover? Getting S-OFF would help of course but I cannot use Revolutionary tool normally as it requires you to boot in your ROM. Maybe there are some backdoor commands that Revolutionary uses that I can call with fastboot?

My last resort is to contact HTC or Bell but I'd like to avoid this as I am out of the warranty period, which my messing around would have voided anyway. Thanks for your help.

Fred
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
you sure the RUU you are using is correct ?

if so then best solution is to try revolutionary :(

try the tool with phone connected in fastboot ...it might work (i remember one guy doing that )
[HTC Sensation] fdavidson:
Thanks ganeshp for the quick answer. I am pretty confident about the RUU as it is the same one I originally ran to move from custom ICS ROM to stock 2.3.4 ROM.

For Revolutionary, even in fastboot, it is stuck in "Waiting for devices..." I think it is because it issues "adb devices" command and expects some answer before carrying on to the bootloader. I would need it to skip this step. Are there any argument to revolutionary to do that?

Fred
[HTC Sensation] fdavidson:
A little more update on RUU failure. If I change the modelid in android-info.txt, this means that I have to re-package the files back into ROM.zip. I am doing this with WinZip. Even without editing any file, just extracting the files from original ROM.zip from RUU back to another version of ROM.zip (no change), I noticed that file size is not the same. Maybe that explain with the signature check fails when flashing RUU. Now, I don't know what to use to re-package files into a ROM.zip archive to use RUU.

Fred
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Short answer - you cannot touch or do anything to ROM.zip if you want to use RUU, changing anything changes MD5 sum hence the signature error.

What you should do is run an ICS RUU compatible with your MID
[HTC Sensation] fdavidson:
Thanks Jonny, that is good information. My problem with this is that I have a provider-specific CID (BM_0001) and not superCID. If I can find an ICS RUU for my MID (the one wrongly change for my device, i.e. PG5810000), would the CID affect anything?

Fred
[HTC Sensation] dublinz:
Mate MID/CID are checked prior to flashing rom, so if the MID/CID are not "correct" installation will not take place
[HTC Sensation] fdavidson:
Thanks everyone for taking some of your time to help me. From the information that I've received, it looks that I will not be able to recover my phone, That's bad because I thought I was just a few steps away, maybe by being able to flash an unlocked S-OFF H-Boot 1.17 and by some way tweak RUU so that it would work. I'll wait one or two days in case someone suggests something different and then see if HTC can help. It will be interesting (or embarassing) to hear what they have to say.

Cheers,

Fred
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Change back the android-info.txt and run the ruu again.. From phone connected in fastboot.. And let me know what error it showed

[HTC Sensation] fdavidson:
ganeshp,

Without modifying android-info.txt (just running the RUU_Pyramid_BM_1.45.666.5_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_220007_signed.exe), I am getting "ERROR [130]: MODEL ID ERROR. This is expected as my MID (modelID is incorrect. My phone is at PG5810000 when RUU expects PG5811000).

When I modify the android-info.txt in ROM.zip to have my correct MID, it goes a little bit further down the process. However, I am getting "ERROR [132]: SIGNATURE ERROR". Below is the related content of ruu_log.txt:

This is also expected as someone already pointed out earlier in this thread that ROM.zip cannot be modified because of different MD5 checksum. On this point, I am wondering if there would be some tool to re-generate a correct MD5 checksum.

ok RUU way is closed for you then

ahh even that got stuck huh ...try revolutionary again ..with phone boot-looping or when stuck at splash screen ..if revolutionary finds the device all good ..otherwise all doors closed :(

he tried revolutionary already ..and he currently didnt have a booting rom ..so it might not work
[HTC Sensation] fdavidson:
That was my original attempt but it looks like revolutionary expects the phone to be fully booted so it can set it himself in bootloader/fastboot through adb command. Since I can get into fastboot myself, If I could skip that part from revolutionary and have it do the next steps, I think I'd get a successful S-OFF. Any idea on how to do that?

Fred
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
wait if revolutionary wants a working adb then we will give it an adb

do this

get the recovery.img from this link (extract it)

copy it to fastboot

and try this command

fastboot boot recovery.img

if it booted ..then run revolutionary
[HTC Sensation] fdavidson:
I am getting:

downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY [ 1.706s]

booting... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Is it because I am S-ON? I seem to remember that S-ON will not allow me to write to some partitions. I hope I'm wrong.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
we are not writing but we are trying to read ..

but is the command you typed is

fastboot boot recovery.img ? (coz in the output its saying downloading boot.img )
[HTC Sensation] fdavidson:
Yes, my mistake. I sent the same command (fastboot boot recovery.img), so the problem is with reading as you said.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
then im out of ideas :(

one last try

try changing cid

fastboot oem writecid HTC__001

then

fastboot reboot-bootloader

then verify it

fastboot getvar cid

EDIT: if this worked then ..immediately flash the european unbranded 3.33 rom
