So I had the waiting for device problem too. I use a VM software on my Mac sometimes and eventually got it to recognize the phone but fastboot commands don't write. I forgot to do the command mentioned but I think it works fine.

It's not really a question of working... it's a question of what it returns...

Go into device manager and make sure the right driver is installed when your phone is in the bootloader, should return the info to you.

Pretty sure that yours is only a virtual machine problem using windows on mac.
Check well ...

I tried all sorts of drivers for my T-Mobile variant on Windows 10. Couldn't get fastboot to recognize my device no matter what I tried. I eventually gave up after 2 hours, downloaded Ubuntu to a flash drive and set it up/unlocked my bootloader in about 10 minutes. I'll pull the variables after work and post here if no one beats me to it.
Additionally, for those interested, the bootloader can be relocked if necessary. I didn't see anyone say that about this particular device and was curious about it before I unlocked mine, so I just figured I'd leave that here as a quick note.

Im not using a vm?

I wouldn't recommend installing the RUU for ICS as it wasn only really released for development use and is not stable. If you want ICS then try one of the Custom ROMs instead as they are far better.

yh i agree with SimonTS, the ics update aint great and the custom ones here r much better without the bugs, well most of them anyway, but if u want it the ruu then yh its the wwe ruu that u use, its a "one for all" ruu, bit like the 2.3gb upgrade for the htc desire (bravo) one file for everyone.

I really appreciate the replies, so thanks for getting back to me. 2 quick followups. the target phone doesn't boot up fully (thus adb commands on pc won't work). it gets past the carrier (three network) splash screen and then hangs with a small icon of a handset and a large red triangle with red exclamation mark. is it possible that the RUU will bet able to flash this (fastboot commands work so its not a complete brick).
the other query i have is that the file I am trying to flash it with is the only H3G rom linked from above (n00bs can't post links sorry), am i right in thinking this is the only candidate available to me for a three network (ireland) device?
As far as i know the ICS RUU for the desire s is for all, so doesnt matter if its locked to 3, or any other brand. And if u search on HTCDev site there is only 2 ICS ruu's available to download, one is wwe and the other is for china so yh ul need the wwe version. Basically download the ruu, put ur phone into fastboot mode, plug it in to pc and run the ruu.exe file.
Another thing is if u wana s-off ur phone u wont be able to if u use the ics ruu, u would have to downgrade ur phone. So if u have fastboot set up on ur pc then put ur phone into fastboot mode then plug into pc then open fastboot command window and type
fastboot getvar version-main

When I run the RUU I get this error after it has rebooted the handset:
ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
Any ideas on which one RUU i need?
Because ur main-version is 1.47.xxx and the ruu that u tried is 1.31.xxx.
U have to use the ruu with 1.47 or higher, u cant downgrade. So i would suggest flash the 1.47 ruu again that way u will be able to s-off the phone via revolutionary
Edit: can u run this command via fastboot

Bad news, i cant find one anywhere. the only one i found is the one u have (1.31.xxx) i think ur best, probably only option is to flash the ICS RUU. If u want to flash a custom rom u can always unlock bootloader after at some point. up to u mate

?? Strange, thats the ruu i used and was fine. I use windows vista, i just double clicked the exe file and it ran no bother. Maybe try downloading it from HTCDev. Go to the site and click "kernel source code" then "see downloads" then chose in device drop down box "desire s" then go over to android version box and chose "v4.0" then click find files. Ul see the Desire S WWE RUU v4.0 (404mb)

HTC One SV In boot loop

Hi all,
I've a friends HTC One that is stuck in a boot loop cycle, and I'm trying to fix it for them. I have unlocked the device via htcdev.com.
Action: Power on device
Observe: "HTC quietly brilliant" boot logo. Logo remains on screen for approx 10 seconds, then screen goes black and logo reappears. Repeat x n.
I started by following these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113671
However, I can't "Move the Superuser.zip to somewhere on your phone's SD card". The device is never recognised as a storage device.

However, if I enter the bootloader and select "Recovery" I'll see the HTC boot screen with "Entering Recovery" at the top. This screen never changes.
I've tried both the CyanGenMod recovery file and the TeamWin file. Both give the same results.
Any advice?

Please, for future reference, post all questions over at the HTC One SV Q&A section. Unless specific questions pertain to specific threads created by specific members. But for general purposes as this one, it would most certainly go to where I have just mentioned above. No pun intended to you. Just want to keep this stuff clean and organized over at our forum.
However, since you have already created this one, just stick with it. No need for duplicates.
Contact a mod and request one of them to move it.
Thanks

Yea, mine doesn't say that lol. Is it a bright orange rear cover with big black HTC letters in the center? If not, then your device is definitely not a One SV.
Sent from my C525c using Tapatalk
lol what questions are these? Is an One SV with bootloader 2.21 and the CID is Orange as it means is Orange branded from East Europe. You no see k2_ul on bootloader info?
Try "fastboot erase cache" in fastboot after flashed the recovery I posted and reboot again into recovery.

Nope, it's a white rear cover with black recessed text "htc" in the middle.
ETA: It looks exactly like this:
http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/htc-one-sv-1120380/review
/cul-de-sac
fastboot getvar all output says, it is k2ul
I saw the K2_UL but that doesn't mean anything. If something wrong was flashed, that could have been easily altered and therefore misleading. That's why I took notice of the cid number. In addition, I am unaware of an HTC One SV with a white rear cover, so if anyone wishes to clarify this, then please do
Edit: just noticed the shared link. Well, regardless, I am unfamiliar with our device having that cid number. Though, if confirmed that it does, then I will take note of that for future referencing.

Flushing the cache doesn't make any difference.
I still get stuck at the screen with "Entering Recovery..." in pink over the normal HTC boot logo.
Procedure is to flush cache, then on the device select "Bootloader" (bootloader seems to reload I guess) the select "Recovery".

When you boot in to the bootloader, it immediately checks your sdcard for certain files. Then it disappears just as quickly as it came. Can you confirm that it shows one of them saying, PL80IMG.zip? (Sorry, want to ask, because I personally believe your device isn't what you think it is)(and if I am wrong, well, better safe than sorry is all I can say lol).

[Q] [HTC One, Google Play Edition] (bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!

Hey, everyone:
I recently succesfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted an AT&T HTC One, but am now having trouble with an HTC One, Google Play Edition.
I'm not too sure if it's the same concept, but every time type ./fastboot oem get_indentifier_token, I receieve a (bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!! message. I've read it may have something to do with an outdated HBOOT?
Does anyone have any advice on getting this to work? Should I try from step one?
Thanks.

Try "fastboot oem unlock"
No need to submit token to HTC, this is a google edition phone
Hope this helps!

Is it an actual original Google Edition or is it a converted?
If you boot into bootloader, what is your hboot version?
It is the official Google Edition (purchased from the Google Play Devices shop online), and the HBOOT is 1.54.

Bricked my U11 - Stuck in Download/Bootloader

Hello,
i hope some of you got an idea for fixing my problem.
1. One month ago i unlocked my bootloader and tested LeeDrOiD U11 V3.1.0 R107 because i had some problems with the camera and the battery. LeeDrOiD does'nt fixed the problems because it seems like a hardware battery problem.
2. After a few days i roled back to stock rom with my TWRP Backup without any new problems.
3. The battery problems are very irritating, so I decided to lock the bootloader and ship it to HTC. After saving my data with TWRP i locked the bootloader via fastboot. The status of the bootloader is no "Relocked".
4. The relocking of the bootloader the device booted without problems until the screen poped up: Your phone is encrypted. (i did not configured this before)
Status:
I can't fix the enryption problem. I have -5 try's left... i don't know how this can happen
I can't get into recovery because i get a Screen with: Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot
I tested a lot of RUU's and stock recovery's from the Google Docs Spreadsheet "HTC U11 - RUU/Firmware/Recovery/OTA Collection"
Tried
Flash the RUU. Every RUU i tested is denied because theres a "Security Version Problem"
Flash Recovery (stock and twrp) = Bootloader Locked

For future reference, relocking the bootloader too early did this.
You can only do that after running the exact correct RUU for your version of U11 so that
you end up with stock recovery and locked system.

Is it possible to fix this problem with the right RUU or is the device bricked and only HTC can fix it?
I fixed the Problem. I downloaded again the correct RUU from google spreadsheet and copied it into the root of a micro sd card and boot to download mode. (rename the RUU file to 2PZCIMG.zip)

I have the exact same problem. I tried to do my do-diligence and have searched the forums and google for days trying to find a solution. All I wanted to do was install TWRP and relock the bootloader. I understand my mistake was relocking to quickly. Its now soft bricked with a locked bootloader and am only able to access bootloader and download. I have been unable to find the correct RUU for my model:

Can anyone help? I would greatly appreciate it. This device was supposed to be a birthday gift. Messed it up good.
Thank you

How about trying to install another recovery over the top of the old one see if that works, or just flash the correct ruu in download mode and just start over

Check CID of your phone and find RUU for your Ultra in here: Androidfilehost

You need unlock your bootloader and use HTC Version Tool to downgrade to Nougat
Thanks @minhnewpro
At last we have now one place for the RUU.
I did notice a new Oreo RUU in Chinese forums but I think it's for a single SIM

Thanks for answering! Yes, I tried this, however I can't get the code to paste into the htcdev site. Error message, incorrect command or unknown command appears. I have already researched several tutorials to confirm the command and I can't. Any tipos?

Check your HTC driver, my driver version is HTC-Mobile-Driver-v4.17.0.001. Make sure PC reconized your phone and you have folder contain adb stuff.
Hey thanx for the collection, wanted to use it, but how do I fix the error "RU_MAIN_VER_FAIL os-version in android-info missing or i"? I have CID 034 so I used the CID_001_034 RUU.

Try reflash RUU if you are using android 7. Or reflash OTA file if you are using android 8.

I'm running into this same issue. I can't boot into my phone. Phone keeps rebooting on my splash screen. I can go into only fastboot screen. When I try and select either Boot to Download or Boot to Recovery mode it gots to the htc screen and then reboots and goes to the splash screen thus continuously rebooting. I have an unlocked AT&T US HTC U Ultra. When i run the below getvar I don't get any sim data.
Code:
fastboot getvar all
