Default Desire S Issues
Hi guys,

i have been using a custom rom for awhile on my phone, but decided to revert back to RUU, i followed the Revert Desire S to Stock instructions on XDA, however, now i have no recovery or rom, i only have FastBoot, when i try to flash using Fastboot it says Signature verify fail.

Its gone back to the following:
Saga pvt Ship S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.98.0000
Radio-38.03.02.15_M
eMMC-boot

my rom is 12.x.x.x.x this is the issue, but i cannot work out how to change the rom number.

anyone have any idea's?

EDIT: just to clarify this is the rom number, i don't actually have a rom installed.

To clarify, because I don't completely understand your request, can you give the full software number that's currently on your phone and, if different, the software number of the ROM/RUU you wish to replace it with.

there in is the problem my friend, i have only fastboot, i don't have any recovery, rom/ruu. i was flashing the RUU, and it stopped half way through.

Now i litterally have a S-ON android with Fastboot and nothing else.

I cannot run the RUU install, as it says Bootloader version error.

OK. But what was the last working ROM version you had on the phone? And which RUU/ROM are you attempting to install now? Please supply the version/software number of both.

MIUI-v4-Saga-2.2.3-r4

I'm trying to install the Original Stock, which is this one:

RUU_Saga_Vodafone_UK_1.32.161.1_Radio_20.28b.30.08 05U_38.03.02.15_M_release_179398_signed (1)

I am back to the right radio, HBOOT, and so one just cannot install the OS

Can you please run the fastboot command "fastboot getvar all" and post the response, that will give a clearer picture.

Please give details!!!

So you had a custom rom/recovery going, then you changed your hboot and flashed a RUU. Then what? Can you boot normally? Or is it now stuck?

@mike989e

I think the problem you have could be caused by using AlphaRev to get S-Off with a pre-1.47 stock/branded ROM. Not that this will help you at the moment. If so, Fastboot commands will work, but adb commands will not.

'fastboot getvar all' (see FoX777's post) will help further.

You need to install a RUU with a number higher than 12, see this thread at XDA, same problem as you.

Once installed you can either unlock your phone with HTCdev or downgrade to a older hboot.

@mike989e

If you followed the instructions correctly, it's possible you'll get a failure report. However, the HTCDev.com bootloader unlock tool may now work (despite the error). So, if you haven't already, give HTCDev.com a go next.

To install the modified RUU you will need to create a goldcard, the only way you will be able to do this is to create one on the PC with a card reader. Have a look at this thread to get the job done.
