:S Phone cannot boot :/

[l.m.prowse]

My friend has just unlocked his bootloader using HTC Dev, this has left it S-ON, so he installed cwm, made a nandroid, then began flashing rom's, he flashed the boot.img separate via fastboot due to the s-on, yet aosp rom's just get stuck on the boot animation, and any sense rom, (including the backup) just boot straight to recovery :/ He's asked me for help but I'm at a loss to explain this :S

we have tried reflashing an RUU but it just complained about it being the wrong version even though there is no other version it could be

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Relock the bootloader, then root using the ace advanced kit. You will may find a link to it in xda or if you search for glevitan. The hack kit was removed from xda.

you have to flash the boot.img in fastboot commands if you have unlocked the bootloader with HTCDEV. Do that, and the you will have a working phone.

HTCDEV is useless, I would suggest that u relock the bootloader and then use the Hack Kit....:good:

We cannot get the phone to boot into a rom, therefore the hack kit is useless, it requires the phone to boot, and we've relocked and everything, it just refuses to boot any roms (yes we have been flashing the boot.img's via fastboot

Shhhh, saying the hack kit is useless will get you in a lot of trouble. Be patient, listen to glevitan.

@everyone, pardon him on my behalf - he doesn't know. Try to help him despite that comment.

His advice was to use the hack kit, which we cannot do without a booting OS, which we currently do not have, which is the reason I posted here.

From what I've gathered, he's in a bootloop, unlocked with HTCDEV and has tried to flash the backed up boot.img via fastboot.

In this specific situation how is the hack kit any use to him if he can't get past the splash screen?


Perhaps double check the locations and files you're pushing/flashing and "fastboot erase cache" before and after.
I'm sure you've probably tried this already but it's the only other things I can think of causing the loop.

Yeah we've tried all of that :/ I can't think of any reason its doing it. It's the same as I do on my HOX, never had a single problem with it :/

Ok, in order to flash a RUU you will have to relock your bootloader. The main version error is due to the unlocked bootloader.

If you still have CWM, before relocking the bootloader u can try to flash a custom rom and then flash the boot.img in fastboot (but doing a wipe first) If that is not working, then you gotta flash a RUU but wil only work if you relock the bootloader....:good:

We relocked the bootloader, and the RUU still said it was the wrong version, the image on the device is 1.13 whereas the ruu is 1.12.405.1, there is no 1.13 ruu :/

ok, do the following, what CID number does the phone have?

boot in hboot, choose fastboot and then plug the phone (you should see fastboot usb in red). Now open a CMD as admin in the PC and type fastboot getvar all. Get the INFOcidnum...and paste it here...
