Let's catch up: i have an sapphire 32B S-ON G, spl 1.33.0014 unlocked, radio 2.22.19.23
1. when i run RUU i get error "bootloader version"
2. all the things i do with fastboot, receive error "remote: not allow"
2.1 when use fastboot oem rebootRUU and then use fastboot flash nbh rom.nbh, received error "Failed (remote: 43 main version check fail)"
3. using sdcard SAPPIMG.nbh (from RUU):
3.1 Non goldcard: transcend 8GB "Main Version is older!"
3.2 Goldcard: kingston 4GB "Main Version is older!"

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

is there any tool to edit the edit NBH file and "fool" the phone?
I'll need to buy a 2gb kingston sdcard?
can i flash ruu hboot 1.76.0013 and try all the process?

I honestly don't know if 1.76.0013 is compatible with your phone, a 32B model. I'm looking at the list of official HTC ROMs and all of the 1.76.X SPLs are H versions, whereas your phone is a G version.

*** If someone else knows about 32B phones and 1.76.X SPLs, please post!!!

We may be able to lower the main version number on your phone. You need adb access, which you have through Safe Mode. You also need root access. If you get any permission errors in following steps, try to get temporary root using SuperOneClick or something similar.

Tell me if this works:

Put an SD card into your phone, boot the phone into Safe Mode, then connect it to the PC. Open a command prompt on the PC and type this:

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/misc.img

This might take a while to run. A few minutes, even. If it worked, it should say something like:

249798+0 records in
249798+0 records out
127896576 bytes transferred in 58.567 secs (2183765 bytes/sec)

You should now have a file on your sdcard named "misc.img". Type "exit" once or twice until you are back at your PC's normal prompt, like C:\

At the PC's command prompt, type:

adb pull /sdcard/misc.img

This will transfer the image to your PC. This could also take a minute or two.

Once that's done, use a hex editor, like HxD Hex Editor (free), to open misc.img

In HxD, somewhere in the first 20-30 lines at the top of misc.img it should say 3.12.0.0 or something similar. It probably also says "VODAP304" at the top.

Let me know if you see those things.

the device is not rooted, so i don't have adb shell access

Oh right, sorry. I mixed you up with someone else. :eek:

Try flashing the RUU again, but RELOCK the bootloader first. Don't worry; you can unlock the bootloader again using unlock_code.bin as many times as you want.

In fastboot:

fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem rebootRUU

Then:

fastboot -s <device id> flash nbh SAPPIMG.nbh

Hey guys.
Got the same problem here

my stats:

SPL/hboot version: 1.33.0014.
Radio version: 2.22.23.02.
Main software version: 3.12.0.0.
cid: vodap102.
cpld: 10.
product: sapphire.
mid: sapp10000.
security: on.
build-mode: ship.

s-on
hboot 1.33.0014
bootloader unlocked by htc

no recovery
no adb
fastboot in "s-on mode" (no rights for "remote")
so i'm not possible to flash any kind of recovery image (neither the original RUU packages nor just the hboot packages via htc "updater")

any chance to s-off my device so i can use my phone again?

best
