[Q] something went terribly wrong

[yonirapa]

I can`t flash any recovery normally, I fear I messed up the cache\recovery seriously .

First I tried to flash ICS OTA – didn’t work, I was revolutionary S-off, after a few times I gave up (rebooting successful by reason: oem).
I re-flashed the RUU, and it went back to Pyrmid S-on. I`ve unlocked the bootloader HTC way.
Then tried to flash CWM, but I got some sort of error. Then I`ve installed "Android Recovery Manager". Tried to flash CWM through it, but ergh – it hangs on "waiting for device"

I tried to fastboot devices & fastboot getvar cid and got corret results, but when i`ve tried to change to superCid – I got this message:

C:\adb>fastboot oem writecid 11111111
... INFOvreg_set: request is duplicated id 14
INFO pyramid_init_sd, SD card power on ok
INFOsdcc_init_memory_device done
INFO[FAT_ERROR] fat_open_file: can not find SMART_IO.CRD
INFO[JAVACARD_ERR] SMART_IO.CRD cann't find
OKAY [ 1.076s]
finished. total time: 1.076s​

so, I realized something went terribly wrong somewhere.
I`m looking for a "fresh start" – is there any complete clone of the recovery file system? Or any other way to flash a complete recovery file system (odin ?!)

Please help.

specs:
sensation xe
Cid htc__001, Mid
recovery: android system recovery <3e> (with error message "can't open /cache/recovery/command)
Hboot: "unloacked", 1.18, S-on (yes, S-on)

If I am not mistaken, you need S-Off to flash recovery.

You are correct sir.

He does have s-off he said he unlocked it the htc way so it might be something else..

Relock bootloader to flash RUU

 

[yonirapa]

i`m telling you - this isn`t a normal solution question

well, no.
so much for trying to lock s-on

C:\ADB>fastboot oem lock
... INFOLock successfully...
INFOTZ_HTC_SVC_DISABLE ret = 66977136 (0x3FDFD70)
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 0.936s​

WTF ?
any more ideas?
thanks

Don't apply s on, you need to run the correct ruu.for your cid.
Flashing RUU does not make you s on. If you're s on you had to make it that way.
Bad news is you can't run RUU with s on.
