Did he ever mention if he can boot into ROM? Since he was not able to flash anything ICS related through hboot is he able to downgrade to gingerbread through pg58?

awesome everything is proper now.

now you first flash a 3.33 universal fimrware... then 4EXT recovery from the bootloader...then go to recovery...download whatever rom you want ...mount sdcard in recovery ..copy the rom to it from PC ... in Recovery go to wipe/format -> do format all partitions except sdcard ...and then flash the rom ..all will be good

My preference go for latest JB sense roms ..they are smooth as hell (revelation or vipers 3.1.0 ) :)

njoy :)

Ignore them.. Probably you got empty radio slot.. Flashing firmware should fix this

So JTAG downgraded your hboot and removed supercid?

Can you boot into recovery?
Using this command
fastboot boot recovery.img

Edit: also it would have been much better if you have pumped the radio via jtag

What all partitions were jtagged?
Man the only hope is booting to recovery! If that's not possible then we still stuck at initial stages!

there is no recovery in my phone and i can't flash one because of Fail-PU

and about the JTAG stage, the person who made it for me, don't know what he did ( he's just a begginer and he don't know much better about android phones) by the way, he told me that nothing was changed, and you can see that the main version and cid was changed. i didn't pay any thing to him (be cause he told me that nothing changed) but if something happend and the phone worked, it would be 40euros

any way, now i'm still in hboot, i have no recovery, no RUU and i can't flash nothing.

dos that means that i have eMMC problem ???

It's all because of corrupted radio.. That's for sure as your problem actually started by flashing a corrupted radio. And it's preventing any fastboot flash by Fail-PU errors. And now you are still stuck with the locked bootloader and that corrupted radio. As of now I have no solution unless you can boot into recovery! Try asking dexter in unbricking project thread

I think you have to do SuperCID so you can flash universal FW!!!. Because your CID is HTC__032 (not compatible with universal). After SuperCID try to flash FW 3.33 univ. by following the steps on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
After that, flash a Recovery (4ext) by putting it on SD card and flash a ROM...

You don't need to have superCID to flash 3.33 universal firmware. You can flash 3.33 if you are s-off.

BTW, OP already said that he gets fail-PU error when flashing anything. SuperCID will not help, nor will firmware 3.33 because he will get fail-PU. RUU will not work, as stated by OP.

the only thing I can think of is HTC unbricking project. I know it's technically not bricked, but in your case, since you can't flash anything, and you have no recovery, you can only hope for unbricking project by getting a QHSUSB_DLOAD from PC.

well, in the FW post it is said that you need Super CID to flash. This guys sais that he JTAGed his device and the CIDNUM changed from super CID to HTC__032 (wich i think is not compatible). i think he needs to SuperCID again and then try to Flash firmware or at least try to unlock the bootloader...

Unbricking project dont work for Soft bricked devices. Only works for devices wich cant boot into bootloader.

Problem is, he 1. Doesn't have a recovery and 2. Has fail-PU error on everything he flashes.

So, he can't flash anything. You can actually make your phone be in a qhsusb_dload state by using a paperclip to tweak something in the back cover of the phone.

The only requirement for HTC unbricking project is getting your phone into qhsusb_dload state.
