155 is a common generic error,dont worry about it, the .exe utilities are notoriously fussy and typically wont run. could be something running on the pc,usb cable,driver prollem,any number of small things.

youll need to extract rom.zip,and flash it via fastboot/ruu mode. thats why i provided those directions

Let me say how much I really appreciate you helping me in this very frustrating time. I found out late last night how to fix my issue. People have this crazy thought that if your on 4.4.2 kit Kat that you have to wait for that particular ruu to be released. Well I assume if your not s-off that may be the case. But if your s-off you can fix this horrible issue.

What I did step by step:
1. download 3.06 HBOOT: PL83IMG - 3.06 hboot
2. Rename stock hboot file to : PL83IMG.zip and place in the folder that contains your fastboot.exe file (On your computer)
3. Flash hboot
Code:
Step 1) adb reboot bootloader

Step 2) fastboot oem rebootRUU

Step 3) CD to directory containing hboot zip (i.e. cd C:\sdk\)

Step 4) fastboot flash zip PL83IMG.zip

*** When it says it is done in the terminal/cmdprompt execute the following ***
[The green bar only fills up about 75% of the way]

Step 5) fastboot reboot-bootloader


Then you can either do this one or two ways:

1st way:


Let me Flashing the Stock Splash Image

1. Download the stock splash image Dev-Host - [HTC]_StockBeats_splash1.img - The Ultimate Free File Hosting / File Sharing Service
2. Rename file to splash1.img
3. Place the file in the same folder you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe located.
4. Plug in your phone to a USB port, turn on USB debugging and open a command prompt. cd to the directory your adb/fastboot is located
5. Run the following:
Code:
adb devices (your device ID should be displayed)
adb reboot bootloader
Once in the bootloader, run:
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img
Once complete, reboot the phone using the menu or
Code:


Or just run the ruu after the hboot flash.......

that is correct,you do not need to wait for a kit ruu if your s off. only while s on does the ruu need to pass main version,hboot,cid,etc. checks.

glad you are sorted

 

[CSMGHTCDNA]

Can't thank you enough sir....

 

[CSMGHTCDNA]

Can you obtain s-off once in a situation like mine??

 

[scotty85]

Can you obtain s-off once in a situation like mine??

not with current methods. all available software tools for dna require a booting,working phone.

if you can find someone with a java card and diagnostic file for the dna,then that would work as long as the device will boot to hboot.

however,java cards are not common,they are a very expensive htc service tool.
