FAILED S-OFF with AlphaRev

Hello evrybody,
Let me explain you the problem
Current configuration: HTC Desire (Bravo) PVT1 (ship s-on)
Baseband/Radio 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17
Rooted with unrEVOked v3
ROM LeeDroid v2.4.1
HBOOT v0.80.0000
I tryed to s-off my phone with AlphaRev v1.8 using VirtualBox v4.0.6 (with usb 2.0 support add-on installed) under Windows 7 Pro x86 with SP1.
For some (unknown to me) reasons it didn't worked for me....
Current situation:
- Impossible to boot the OS - blank htc screen
- In Bootloader menu ("Power"+"Volume down") when trying to enter Clockwork Recovery Mod sometimes phone rebooting 4 times and sometimes it make 7 fast vibrations but anyways dropes me to blank htc screen...
- While I'm in Bootloader and connected through USB to PC, I can see that in Device Manager - Android Phone - Bootloader Interface detected (drivers OK)
Please help me.....

Did you ask on the alpha rev irc channel?

Since your phone is still able to start the bootloader, you should be able to get it back up running using fastboot.
Step1: Download some stuff.
- An image of your favorite recovery tool. I'm using clockworkmod recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039954&highlight=clockworkmod
You want the .img file.
- The Android SDK. Use Google =)
Step2:
Start the SDK Manager and download the SDK Tools and SDK Platform Tools. You now should have a "fastboot.exe" in the "tools"-folder.
Step3:
Connect your phone via usb, boot up the bootloader, and enter fastboot mode.
Step4:
Open a command line window using shift+right click in the folder where fastboot is. Launch "fastboot.exe devices". This should list your device. If not, Download the USB Driver Package using the SDK Manager and install the fastboot drivers. Windows might start whining about not being able to find the driver, but its definitely there. If fastboot.exe fails to start, you might need to copy it to the platform-tools folder and/or run cmd.exe using administrator privileges.
Step5:
Copy your recovery image to where fastboot.exe is and execute "fastboot.exe flash recovery <yourrecoveryimage>"
Further Steps:
You should now be able to boot into recovery and install roms.
You can also try to flash hboot using fastboot. If this fails, you got a handy $400 mirror to put in your pocket. You've been warned
Download a suitable image from alpharev (i think you want to go with the stock s-off hboot - that one with 250MB system) and flash it using "fastboot.exe flash hboot <hbootimage>" like described above.
Hope that helps.

[Q]How to flash RUU

How to flash Ruu ?? I have S-off rooted using infra ROM an overclocked I want to update my radio firmware. Bcoz getting poor battery can any one give me a guide plss..
thanks in advance
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using XDA Premium App

Just run the exe file.............connect you phone and follow the instructions.......
Is it that hard that you had to ask???

It's not that simple. Here's what you need to do:
Charge the battery above 50%.
Relock the bootloader using the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then boot the phone into bootloader and select Fastboot using the volume rocker and pressing power. Then connect the USB cable. You should see FASTBOOT USB.
Run the RUU from Windows and follow the wizard. You may have to extract and re-flash the stock recovery from the RUU for it to work, I don't remember.
Once the install is done you'll have unlock the bootloader again using the token you already have from the first time, reflash cwm recovery and re-root. All this will be 10x easier than the first time.

No its not the thing of hard I'm a bit scared to try the attempt.bcoz my one friends phone got bricked while trying this I don knw wat wrong step he did so I don WAN my phone to get brick like tat simple.
Q. I jus WAN a proper guide guys could any one help
Thanks for reply friends

Thanks dude
But one doubt mine is already unlocked bootloader. Aft flashing it ill get locked r wat ??
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using XDA Premium App

I'm not sure what you are saying. If you unlocked the bootloader with HTC dev then you must relock it before flashing. Either way it will be locked after.

how do I relock the boot loader, I've gone to terminal emulater typed in fastboot oem lock but it comes up with fastboot not found.
thanks.

Boot the phone into HBOOT, select FASTBOOT with the volume rocker and press the power button. It will turn red. Then plug it into your computer with the USB cable and it will say FASTBOOT USB.
Open a command prompt and type in the command.

OK i did that and it now says RELOCKED Yay!
But when i try to install the RUU update it gets halfway through and says failed
is this because i have CWM and root still going ?
Do i need to clear Root, Remove CWM as well as relocking the bootloader ?
im sorry to keep mithering you

OK, you have to revert to the stock recovery. While the RUU wizard is open, find the temporary folder it created. (Open Explorer in windows and type %temp% in the navigation bar.) There will be two folders with long encrypted names. In one of them you will find ROM.zip. Open it with 7zip and extract recovery.img. Flash it from FASTBOOT USB (like before) using the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then re-run the RUU and it should finish.

already tried it man, but nothing happened :crying:

Before you start, you will need to set up your computer to properly recognize the phone. You probably did this when rooting originally, but just in case... Install SDK tools for Android, Java runtime, and HTC Sync.
About HTC Sync: The only reason you need HTC Sync installed is for the USB drivers that come with it. But the program itself has been known to cause conflicts. Make sure that HTC Sync is not running in the background by opening Task Manager in Windows and killing it if you find it lurking in there.
Here we go:
1. Download the correct RUU for your device from Football's Primo Shipped ROM Collection.
2. Charge the battery above 50% or for at least one hour. If the battery dies during the flashing process, you could hard brick the phone!
3. Run the RUU until the wizard comes up. While the RUU wizard is open, find the temporary folder it created. (Open Explorer in Windows and type %temp% in the navigation bar.) There will be two folders with long encrypted names. In one of them you will find ROM.zip. Open it with 7zip and extract recovery.img or recovery_signed.img. Put it in the location were you've installed Android SDK tools. This is the stock HTC Recovery and it is needed to run the RUU.
4. Boot the phone into bootloader (power off, hold down volume and press power) and highlight FASTBOOT/B] using the volume rocker and pressing power. Then connect the USB cable. You should see FASTBOOT USB.
5. Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder where you installed Android SDK tools. Flash the stock recovery extracted in step 3 above using the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
6. Relock the bootloader using the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
7. Re-run the RUU. It will restore the device to it's original condition, locked (though *** RELOCKED ***) and unrooted.
Once the install is done you'll have unlock the bootloader again using the token you already have from the first time, reflash CWM Recovery and re-root. All this will be 10x easier than the first time.
If you do re-root your phone, be 100% you backup the stock ROM in ClockworkMod Recovery before making changes!!!!!!!!

[Q] Start anew

Hello,
To start off, I want to say that I DID search on this forum, for similar threads, and while I did find some, I couldn't find out how to do it.
My Phone:
HTC One X
S-ON
Rooted
Locked bootloader
ROM: Android Revolution HD
CID: HTC__E11
I flashed my current ROM a while ago, but I really cannot remember doing it and I deleted the backup I made before flashing (I always back up before flashing) because I thought I was running the stock ROM (without trouble) and I needed space.
What I want to do now, is get rid of EVERYTHING and just reset it to what it was when I first booted it, when that's all done, I want to root it again and unlock the bootloader.
The problem is that I can't find the appropriate RUU. I've been looking for it for a good while now, but I can't seem to find it.
I've downloaded OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27-2.17.401.2_release_298985n1wwcwzs385c0bvz.zip from
htcruu.com/ index.php?dir=Endeavor (not allowed to put links here, sorry) and I put that in my SDCard directory.
When I tried to flash it (I don't know whether I am supposed to or not, but I only got a .zip and no .exe...) it did not work.
If you need the error, tell me and I'll do it again.
Regards,
Pim

If you can't find a ruu, you can use a stock nandroid backup. You can find a collection of them at general if I remember correctly.

The ruu doesn't work because it's an OTA ....its just an update file ! Not the whole RUU
http://www.htcruu.com/securekey.php...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
this is the full RUU

Yes. Previous poster is correct. Download that file.
Do not put it on your sdcard.
Plug your phone into PC
Reboot into hboot by holding power & volume down for about 20seconds.
Press power button to go to fastboot
Open a cmd window and run fastboot oem lock to relock your bootloader
Run your ruu as administrator on your PC by right clicking and pressing open as administrator
Follow the instructions on your PC to flash the ruu

Thanks a lot, but I'm still having trouble :s
I connect my phone to my pc via USB when I am looking at these options on my screen:
- HBOOT
- REBOOT
- REBOOT BOOTLOADER
- POWER DOWN
When I type "fastboot oem lock" in cmd, I get the following response:
" 'fastboot' is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file ".
And when I run the RUU (as administrator) I get "Error [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR".

Do you have HTC drivers installed and java SDK platform files ?
Have you ever used fastboot commands ?
Do you have a fastboot folder on the pc with fastboot/adb files in it ? When you connect the phone to the pc and put in bootloader menu you should see something like fastboot USB
Download this
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
And put the folder in c:\
So you have
C:\fastboot\ files in the folder
Open a dosprompt in that folder and type
Fastboot devices while the phone is still in bootloader menu If it comes up with your serial its good

I installed Windows to do this (Nothing worked on Mac, and things like this are usually easier on Windows than on Mac), and I forgot to install these things again.

Hello,
First of all, I'd like to apologize for leaving so suddenly, but I had some other, more important, things on my mind.
Thanks for the link, but when I try to do that (and follow all the instructions I get on the screen), it all goes well, until just after "erasing user data", when I get the error as seen in the attachments.
When I started my phone, I had to fill in the basic questions, but I later found out that all my files were still there, while the apps themselves had been uninstalled...
I figured some general stuff out, and adb and fastboot are now *finally* working as they should.
Regards,
Pim
EDIT: Since I'm not quite sure whether or not the attachments are working, I uploaded them to imgur:
imgur. com/a/yMxph <= just remove the space before the between the "imgur." and "com/a/yMxph"

Well, I've just downloaded the correct RUU, but I'm currently getting error 155: unknown error...
I'm kinda clueless about what to do now...
Regards,
Pim

Download from the 2.17.401 ruu and try again.....otherwise flash back the stock recovery from the main version that you currently have
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
So the stock recovery should be 1.29 based

I used the same RUU I used before, but this time with relocked bootloader (forgot to relock that again), this time it worked!
I'm currently updating to Jelly Bean, and then I'll root it again etc. If I'm right, S-OFF is possible for the One X these days, right?
If so, would anyone know an easy and clear tutorial?

[Q] Can't access recovery or start the 'normal'phone

Hello,
First of all, it has been a while since i've done tweaking my old one X, but my dad uses the phone now, and he asked me to update it, since the old rom crashed sometimes.
now i found out the was android 4.2 roms available for the one x, and wanted to flash them.
although, i figured out, i needed a higher Hboot, since mine was at 0.95, i needed 1.29+.
tried to figure out how this worked, and i thought i finally knew it, but than the last step wouldn't want to complete, while in RUU, it didn't want to do what it had to do..
so after some hours shouting at my pc and phone, i decided it had enough of it, and would just flash another rom, which didnt need the higher Hboot.
but now comes the crap...
i downloaded one_X_sfied rom, and i though hey its finally working, i saw the bars going green, and all the stuff..
but while rebooting the phone, it wouldnt go past HTC - quietly briliant - logo. so i decided to install it once more via recovery.
again all bars go green.. but this time it wouldnt start the phone either..
so i wanted to go back to recovery, but now it wont load recovery either! when i click on my recovery, it boots the phone again, and keeps rebooting at HTC logo..
i found out i made a mistake, and didnt flash the new kernel for this rom, i was little bit hurried.. so i guess overlooked it... stupid me, i know....
anyway, only thing i can access now is the fastboot and hboot, my bootloader is unlocked, and hboot is 0.95.
my cidnumber is: HTC E___11
there was another number, i thought RUU number, but i don't know the command to get it anymore, don't know if i need it..
anyway, now my question..
how do i ever get this phone working again, if it's even possible...?
any ideas?
thanks alot for reading and applying.
(sorry for grammar mistakes )
- edit -
now it somehow restarted the bootloader, and stops at ''checking sd card update...''
which means. i cant even get into fastboot either.. guess im screwed up now ... ----------lucky me, it shows the fastboot again.. sweat for nothing

what is your version?

what version do you mean?
RUU?

Have you flashed the right RUU for sure ? Try flashing again and remember that you have to relock the bootloader before !

i did not flash any RUU.
i don't know how to get that code, not the E11 thing, but those numbers.
if i am right i have to:
get the original RUU software.
flash this through fastboot using my CMD on PC
relock bootloader first.
but i need the correct RUU file first, and i don't know where to find, because i need that numers, i forgot the command to get it, and cant find it on internet now :\

anyway, is this correct? what i say above. -> download correct RUU file -> lock bootloader -> flash via PC -> than something else?
if im correct, i will have a original, non-rooted HOX. correct?

1. Boot your phone to fastboot mode by holding power+vol down button for 10 secs..(if your phone keeps restarting in normal phone mode, go to Setting>Power and untick Fast boot)
2. Plug your phone into your PC and open a Command Prompt.
(windows XP - Click Start > Run > type CMD in box then press OK
(Windows 7 - Click Start > type CMD in search box then press Enter)
3. cd to the location of your fastboot files folder
4. Relock bootloader - type command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
The phone will then restart into fastboot again showing "RELOCKED"
6. On your pc run the RUU that you downloaded earlier, follow the steps as prompted and patiently wait for it to finish.
REMEMBER your phone should be charged ABOVE 50% AND if the ruu or restore is INTERRUPTED 4 any reason during restore your
phone MAY be PERMANENTLY BRICKED..
