Thanks for the advice, but actually after writing that post only, after some time, it started recognizing my device, so I was able to do it..

Though, actually I wanted to install CM10.1, but doing the XXKPE + XXKPQ thing properly and then rooting it again, I tried doing CM10.1. But for some reason after just installing the alpha2 file from zip and the gapps file for it, it always goes back to CWM recovery mode.. It also sometimes used to display that the device has no root access, so while rebooting it asked if I wanted to root it.. I always selected yes, but after booting it always comes back to the recovery screen.

Any idea, what to do to solve this?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Siddhant Shankpal:
Umm..ur doing something wrong.

[HTC One V] monroe1974:
First post here, please excuse my ignorance. This is a Virgin Mobile HTC One V. I never rooted a phone before, and was just trying to do a basic rooting, and somehow got into trouble. I would like to return the phone to stock and start over.

Right now the phone boots itself into bootloader, and shows me this:

Relocked

Security warning

PRIMOC PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.57.0000

RADIO-1.00.00.0928

eMMC-boot

Jun 18 2012, 10:22:43

I am able to do this: fastboot getvar cid. The response is this: cid: SPCS_002.

I am also able to do this: fastboot devices. The response is this: FA2AKX405758	fastboot.

I have attempted to use this RUU:

RUU_PRIMO_C_ICS_40A_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.08.652.6_Radio_1.00.00.0521_2_NV_VM_3.46_0503_PRL61008_release_262414_signed.exe

It gives me error 170, USB connection error (even though I have installed the HTC drivers). I relocked the phone in an attempt to get that RUU to work, but it didn't help. I also tried to extract the rom.zip from the RUU.exe (by finding it in a temp folder, as described on another XDA thread), but the rom.zip acts corrupt. Various zip programs refuse to open it.

Before relocking the phone (in an attempt to get the RUU to work) I tried this:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

I did that with various boot.img files I found via threads here. This just created various problems. One result was that I was in a bootloop. Another result was that I booted to the screen that said "this build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside of htc without written permission." And it would hang there.

Now my condition is that I boot directly to bootloader.

Starting from the beginning: I unlocked the phone using the unlock bootloader procedure at htcdev. No problem. Then I figured I should do a backup right away, so I installed CM Recovery. Right away I knew I had a problem because it did not run correctly. It would present a menu. Then I would select "backup and restore." It would present a splash screen (with the hat) and just hang there. When I pressed power, it would return to the menu. That's when I started trying various other things.

I never got as far as doing anything with superboot or superuser, which is what I thought I was going to do after doing the backup.

I have read a zillion threads here, and tried various things from those threads, but I'm afraid that without specific help I'm just going to make it worse. I'm pulling my hair out, so I hope someone here can help me while I still have a few left. Thanks!
[HTC One V] monroe1974:
OK, I have made some progress but I'm still pretty stuck.

I have been able to solve two problems I had before. Before when I ran the RUU, it gave me a USB error. And I could not extract recovery.img from the RUU. I solved both those problems by moving to a different PC.

So now I can run the RUU, and it gives me a bunch of progress messages I didn't see before, but at the end it tells me this:

"Error 155, unknown error. The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again."

So then I tried the procedure described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27301573

I unlocked the phone again, and I did this:

fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img

I did that using the img file I extracted from the RUU. Then I relocked the bootloader, and I ran the RUU again. But it gave me the exact same error (155).

What should I try next? I notice that the RUU also contains these img files:

system.img

radio.img

boot_signed.img

Should I try flashing those?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: One more thing. When I ran the RUU, at the end the phone said this:

RUU

Hboot version is older!

Update Fail!
[HTC One V] monroe1974:
OK, the next thing I tried is the method described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1674226

I extracted rom.zip from the RUU, and I renamed it PK76IMG.zip, and I put it on the sdcard, and then I rebooted the phone. The phone found that file and tried to install it, but in the end it gave me the same error message: "Hboot Version is older." On that same screen I see that my current Hboot is 1.57.0000. I guess the RUU contains an older Hboot?

Anyway, that's the same error I get when I run the RUU as an exe.

I notice a couple of people in that thread reported the same problem (Hboot is older), but it's not clear how or if they got around this.

Any ideas?
[HTC One V] monroe1974:
OK, so here's the next stage in this saga.

Looking around, it seems that there is no RUU for this phone, because I have Hboot 1.57.0000 and radio 1.00.00.0928. I have noticed that people with those specs cannot find a RUU that works, but they have been able to get the phone working with RhythmicRom. I see that discussed here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2147407

So what I'm trying to do now is install RhythmicRom, but I'm having trouble doing that, I guess because I don't have CM Recovery installed, so the standard recovery is running instead.

I have placed RhythmicRom_v1.4.zip on my sdcard. I am able to boot into bootloader, and I have done factory reset. In the bootloader, I can select Recovery and I see a screen that indicates the phone is looking for something (green circle containing green arrow pointing down, and with a progress bar at the bottom, and an icon of an sdcard). But I guess it doesn't find what it's looking for, and then I see the screen with the red triangle/exclamation mark.

I'm thinking that maybe it will work if on the sdcard I rename RhythmicRom_v1.4.zip to whatever the phone is looking for. Maybe I should rename it to PK76IMG.zip? Just a guess.

Many thanks in advance.
[HTC One V] monroe1974:
OK, that sort of almost worked. On the sdcard, I renamed RhythmicRom_v1.4.zip to PK76IMG.zip. I booted into bootloader, and it looked like the phone found that file, and loaded it. Then I did this:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

With the boot.img that was inside RhythmicRom_v1.4.zip. Then I rebooted. Now the phone gets to the red animated Virgin Mobile splash screen with the annoying audio. That seems like a good sign, since I haven't seen that in a while. But instead of continuing to boot, then I see the white HTC screen that says "this build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside of htc without written permission." And then it continues to loop between those two screens, so I am stuck in a bootloop. Although I found I was able to interrupt it and get back to the bootloader.

Not sure what to try next. Any suggestions?
[HTC One V] russellvone:
Wow, I can't believe you haven't had a single reply.

Ok. First of all.... Use TeamWinRecoveryProject

( TWRP ) as your recovery img

So easy to use

Use fastboot the flash

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Then boot into your new touch screen recovery

Now click wipe

Cashe,Dalvick,Factory Reset, System

In that order. It makes sure every thing is wiped thoroughly.

Now navigate to where the Rom is you would like to use and flash it in recovery.

After It's flashed click the wipe cashe/dalvick

Then click home,reboot,bootloader.

Once in bootloader, flash the kernel/bootimg

fastboot flash boot boot.img

After the boot.img is finished,

fastboot reboot

Victory and enjoy the awesomeness of custom ROMs!
[HTC One V] russellvone:
P.S. don't forget to unlock your bootloader again. First and foremost

fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
[HTC One V] monroe1974:
Russell, thank you for your response. After 24 hours with over 100 views and zero replies, I figured that meant that I had already done the proper steps, and there wasn't some obvious solution I was missing. Although I can see now that I should have tried TWRP. It couldn't have made things worse, and maybe it would have worked better for me than CM Recovery (which seemed to fail as soon as I installed it).

Another key thing was when I figured out that there is no RUU for my specs (because there was an OTA that installed a newer hboot and radio). I like the idea of trying different custom ROMs, but I don't like the idea of never being able to go back to stock, since I would expect that all the custom ROMs have some quirks that I might find unacceptable. But I notice that you have the same hboot and radio, and I assume you have a backup of your stock ROM, so maybe you could have helped me with that.

Anyway, at literally the exact moment that you were posting your comment, I was standing at the UPS counter handing them the phone. If the phone had been working, we would have heard it buzzing inside the box as your email came in! The phone is heading to the HTC repair facility in Houston. They told me they would unbrick it for me for less than $35. I haven't seen anyone else report this, so maybe I was misled and it's too good to be true? We'll see. I don't like being without the phone for a week, but $35 seems like a cheap price to clean up the mess I made.

Anyway, thanks again for speaking up.

Interesting questions I would also like to know. I'm fairly new to this, but my two cents on this topic is this: from what I know the sch-s960l uses sprints network so if u flashed to verizon I'm not sure 4g would work because they are on different frequencies. Otherwise I wld also like to do this cuz sprint sucks in my area so no 4g for me anyway. But I believe you can still flash after activating I don't think that matters. We need a rom that will not brick our phones or hinder any features while also getting the new s4 features (hint hint). I've said b4 will say again...I WILL DONATE to anyone who can help with our sch-s960l issues

I'm looking for a screen protector that covers the entire front of the phone rather than just the screen itself. And I'm looking for one that can be removed and re-applied, because I can NEVER apply them properly the first time without getting dust and air bubbles (even if just a couple) trapped underneath it. I've tried it many times with my current phone and other phones, and I just can't get it right. And since I keep a screen protector on for several months, at the least, it's a long time to have to stare at a wrongly-applied screen protector.

I learned about the iVisor (http://www.amazon.com/iVisor-Screen-Protector-Protection-Samsung/dp/B008I59S34) which meets these requirements, but reading the reviews makes it appear not so great. I saw some other screen protectors mentioned on this forum but they were with a strong matte finish which really reduces clarity and sharpness of the screen image, rather than a clear finish which doesn't do that.

Can you recommend such a screen protector, if they exist?

(Btw, I've never had a screen protector that covers the entire front of the phone rather than just the screen. Does it cause any problems because it covers up the buttons or camera or speaker or anything like that?)
