Hi all,

Lately I've dropped my phone a few times so now the screen is pretty messed up, but because I've got insurance I can make them repare it. I just wanted to make my phone completely stock again only i found out to late that I have to flash the stock RUU first and I ran the command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" (don't do this to your sensation!!) and as a result I can't flash the stock RUU and I also can't flash any other firmware, right now I'm on 1.23. I've also tried "fastboot oem writesecureflag 0" but it doesn't help.

Does anyone know what I can do?

Thanks in advance!!

why cant you flash stock RUU ? ..if you find a upgradable/incremental one ..you can happily flash it

go to this guide find your corresponding RUU and flash it

EDIT: consider yourself lucky that you didnt got a brick

Thanks for your guide but I've already tried flashing it and I can't flash anything via Hboot, that's why I'm stuck at 1.23. When I flash a RUU from my home screen I get error 171 after it tries to reboot the bootloader and when I try it from fastboot I get error 155, maybe that's because I'm on a AOSP ROM? I haven't been able to flash a sense ROM yet, I've tried 2.3.4 sense 3.0 and 3.5 4.0.3 sense 3.6 and 4.0 no positive results yet, it keeps looping the bootscreen of the ROM itself.

You should run the ruu from fastboot.. That's what guide says isn't it?
Also error 155 means either you ran ruu from normal screen or you have unlocked bootloader

So in your case.. You need to re lock bootloader if you did unlock using htcdev (to re lock fastboot oem lock)

Try the above and let me know
Also did you got the correct ruu based on your cid? If you followed the guide you would
