[Q] cannot unlock bootloader or s-off

I have an HTC wildfire S A510b MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT 1.09.0099
MICROP-0451
RADIO-7.57.39.15M
Android 2.3.5
HTC sense 2.1
Software 2.26.841.4
kernel 2.6.35.10
i dont know my carrier but it comes with TelestraOne app. I guess its Australian.
i need to install custom ROMs on my device to get more free space in internal memory, for that i have been trying to unlock my bootloader but i cant. i followed steps given in HTCdev.com it provided me with the unlock_code.bin but when i flash it. It doesn't happen. The file doesn't flash. can anyone help me unlock bootloader.

Could you specify the exact steps you take to flash the unlock code? And what is the error you get?

RUU for my ROM was not available on HTCdev.com so i ignored the RUU step and continued from step 1, as it was mentioned on web that if your ROM version is not present than u dont need RUU. i followed every single step mentioned on HTCdev.com, i gave them my binary ID token they sent me unlock_code.bin file on my email account. but when i try to flash that file. it stuck. nothing happens. i tried other RUU's for my model i.e. PG76120 but non works. and the unlock code that htcdev.com provided doesnt work also. it hangs when i try to flash that unlock_code.bin on my phone via cmd.exe, on web it says that it will take 5secs. i left my phone for more than 10mins. but it didnt flash.

you should not ignore ruu for your rom bcz...the original hboot doesn't support fastboot command..!

He said that he has version 2.26, that already has the unlockable bootloader .
Maybe you could try to get another unlock code?

Did you select 'Fastboot' by pressing <power> button on hboot menu before to type the 'fastboot' from cmd.
If you don't this then probably it wouldn't be done!!.

i went in HBOOT by pressing power and volume down button simultaneously. i let HBOOT scan for images, there weren't any, than i selected fastboot using power button. after that i connected my phone to PC via USB cable. fastboot changed into fastboot usb. than i commanded cmd tu flash unlock_code.bin into my phone (unlock_code.bin was placed in same folder where adb.exe,AdbWinApi.dll and fastboot.exe files were placed and i opened cmd from that folder where all of these 4 files were placed) I have win7 ultimate and activated on my desktop.
do i have to copy AdbWinUsbApi.dll also ???

i have the same prob with my explorer...my wfs bootloader unlocked easily...i updated the RUU and it happened...in my explorer...once i use the command send unlock code.bin...my fone hangs nd there is a green rectangle on the side...as i remove the usb it works again...any help?

[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?

relock bootloader then run RUU. after that you can now update phone to Jellybean, root and flash custom rom.

Then put the phone in the locked bootloader and run the ruu with administrator rights.
You can use this one

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..

Hello, I'm from Bulgaria, I bought a Desire HD that was with relocked bootloader. I unlocked the bootloader with htcdev.com. Now it is unlock. The phone not load any ROM, can,'t make recovery from bootloader, can't make factory reset from bootloader. I tried to flash several stock ROMs before and after unlocking, but getting a different errors. Attempted ROMs are with the same RADIO. I Tried this-
just copy the rom.zip from temp folder of your user name on pc while running that RUU at the next of second step..i mean while you double click of the RUU then you the first prompt that you must thick "Understand blah blah blah.." then click next..you must hold setup at this step..and tried search the rom.zip in your temp folder of your pc and copied to another folder..then rename it to PD98IMG.zip and put in to the root of your sd card..then boot the phone to bootloader mode..wait until bootloader reading and checking the PD98IMG.zip file..then ask you to confirm if you wanna flash it.. but without success. Stay on the white screen with grenn HTC logo when is turned on, and when I tried to make recovery or factory reset. When the stock ROM start to install (before give me a error ) the screen stay on grey HTC logo on Black screen. Can anyone help me? I attached a picture of Bootloader-

Uhh, have you actually installed recovery - if you haven't well that's why.
Go here: http://www.4ext.net/ddl/ace/recovery.zip
Extract the files
Copy recovery img to your adb.exe folder (make sure fastboot.exe is there)
Turn on your phone into fastboot mode
CD to that directory and type in "fastboot devices"
Confirm it says your serial
Then type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Now you have recovery (it means you can flash roms and kernels and mods and anything flashable apart from radios and firmwares)

I did this correctly, everything is OK, but now what? I tried to install stock ROM, but with no result. Here is a pictures of instalation-

now select recovery, and install ROM there

don't install stock rom or RUU again..
just installing custom rom (you can search and choice a custom rom in "Desire HD Android Development") and installing the rom.zip file from 4ext recovery (install zip from sd card)..don't forget to flashing boot.img too (flashing under FASTBOOT mode with fastboot command "fastboot flash boot boot.img").. that the boot.img are extracted from the rom.zip file that you had already installed..
hope this can help..

Thank you, but I can't see 4EXT Recovery menu on my phone. And I can't install custom ROM

did you already installing 4ext recovery..?, if so..to go that recovery then you just need select Recovery from your bootloader menu..then you can installing custom rom from there..
just copied your custom rom file to the root of your sd card..this mean just placed inside your sdcard..don't placed inside any folder..then after that you can installing that rom from 4ext recovery
hope this can help..

I made this from second post, but can't see any difference in phone or bootloader. When I pushed recovery from original bootmenu, came white screen with green HTC logo with one vibration end nothing happend

Just repeat all the step in second post...just this time you show me the out put from cmd...after you typing command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

then now you're already had custom recovery right..?, if soo...then you can continued installing the rom.zip (cusrom rom) file from there..but always don't forget to flashing boot.img too that's are extracted from the rom.zip that you already installed..

No, I don't have recovery.

while you installing recovery from fastboot..did your bootloader still with unlocked state..?
because i see you're success flashing a custom recovery that you already show me above in attchment file before...
if your bootloader are already locked..then you must unlocking again first...then after that you can continued flashing custom recovery..

Thank you ! Now the bootloader is unlocked, and I did that from the second post with already unlocked bootloader. Still nothing can I do.

just tried installing another custom recovery...just try download it TWRP recovery from here.. copied to your adb.exe and fastboot.exe folder and flashing it through FASTBOOT mode with command .. "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-ace.img"
hope this time your phone will had a custom recovery installed
good luck.

after you find your cid num you can find the right RUU for your phone..just check it here to find what RUU you must download it..and just download it the RUU with same main version of your phone or higher version than yours..
after that just relocked your bootloader through fastboot "fastboot oem lock"...now you can continued flashing that RUU

that's so weird things...
what if you try too installing that RUU.exe like normal way...i mean just connecting your phone with pc (select FASTBOOT mode from your bootloder) then running that RUU.exe until finish..
if that still fail too...then another way is you can try it to unlocking your bootloader via htcdev.com first..then after that you can continued installing custom recovery like 4ext, twrp or cwm..and then installing custom rom..
to unlock your bootloader via htcdev.com...firstly you must update your hboot version to 2.00.0029...that hboot update file is already in there site..just follow instruction from site it self..

This so weird...because that you told me with these both RUU that you had already installed is all process had success completed until finish....but what i know is...that's impossible the phone while still in stock condition can received two different stock RUU with different cid num too...accept if your already had a goldcard and flashing it just through bootloader..
Anyway...just unlocking that bootloader first then after success unlocking...i will continued told you what step by step you must to do next...
Now i'm gone a sleep..

Did you already update your hboot to version 2.00.0029 first before running that command..?
if not yet...just download this hboot from here.. then flashing this via bootloader..
to flashing this hboot through bootloader is just the same way as my guide in my #8 post..

Never seen a 2.16.654 ruu there ! Can you point me to it please. As for additional information :
He can't install any other ruu than a 2.16.654 or higher one since he has no S-OFF.

Check for maximus or arhd (NOT the lollipop versions but a slight older one) in the dev section or get a new stock backup matching your version number in the general section - collection of firmwares, stock backups and more by @exocetdj
And if that doesn't give you the correct steps and files than try the specific Sprint M8 support subforum

Ah i see in the Sprint section. Maybe it's good to mention that too in the first reply because this is the international section and therefore doesn't hold Sprint ruu files. So that confused me a bit. Thanks for the link

My bad I didn't realize that

Thanks both. Really appreciated your advice. I tried steps in below link

If you have a s-on device you need to relock the bootloader before running the ruu.exe !

uhm well, you double click the ruu.exe on the pc. That should do the trick

Hi
I relock the bootloader and did the prrevious steps. Now its worked.
Now it shows "RELOCKED" in the bootloader menu.
Is it the normal sign ?

Yes as you are s-on that's normal. Only with s-off you can change those flags to LOCKED
