anyone had this problem? i have an orange branded HTC hero, sim unlocked.
ran the latest HTC RUU .exe and wouldn't install, wrong ID..
i then unlocked it and put android ROM on, that worked fine.
But really want to stick to the standard HTC non-orange one.
Any ideas what i need to do?
thanks
error 131 - customer id error ???
You will need to use a goldcard
Look on unlockr.com for "how to downgrade your phone" or look in the wiki here on XDA
thanks a lot for your help will look now
I rooted my Desire using UnrEVOked 3 and can't find out how to unroot it, i've tried various methods from various forums such as installing different RUU's but i can't get it to work, i also can't access HTC Sync, i just want it to go back to the stock ROM without root if anyone knows how to do this it would be great, thanks!
Edit: I can now access HTC Sync, if that helps...

I have same Problem~Can somebody help us...=.=
You need to find a ruu that matches your phone. But if you give us this little information we cannot help you.
- What errors did you get when running the ruu? And try to be exact.

I tried one of the WWE roms from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 I think it was the top download, it came up with something like please use the correct RUU and try again, I bought my phone Unlocked and I think it was unbranded if that helps, thanks!
It sounds like you are getting a "wrong CID" error. Which means that your phone wasn't originally unbranded.
Two possibilities.
1) find the correct RUU for your operator, that one should install properly
OR: 2) create a goldcard, many tutorials on the Web (Google for one), then the WWE RUU will successfully install. BUT you'll end up with a generic ROM, not the operator-specific one originally installed on your handset.

Is there any way that I can find out the exact RUU i need?
Sorry to sound noobish but I have no idea what a goldcard is, thanks for your help.
Use this guide to make a gold card, its pretty simple.

Not that I am aware of. I would try the ones from shipped roms that correspond with the network you use.
You should've thought about un rooting at the time you rooted it..
There is a method to find out which ruu you need. Find the threads I've started, and look for the guide on un bricking an slcd desire..the faq had the info you need
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
I'm trying to unroot to stock rom and stuff, and I have the Telus specific RUU file.
The quick gold card making, hex-edit free software is not a viable option because the website listed on the software is now gone;;
Also, which guide should I stick to? There are so many on the forums with different methods.
you can find which RUU is yours by trying to match the build number* (if you're still on the stock HTC Froyo ROM) to other RUU's, go to about phone, software and look for it there.
*I think it's the build number
hi, i also have almost the same problems. i tried the three WWE roms, and all the european roms, but it still doesnt work. and im getting an Error [170] or [120]. by the way my phone is not branded. my buildnumber is: 2.50.405.2 CL87995. what should i do now?

For error 170: Make sure you installed hboot drivers and htc sync drivers (correctly).
For error 120: It seems you got the wrong image. Please check you downloaded the right version. Reset your device ("clear storage") and then run ruu again.

wow that's a pretty new one lol.. I'd suggest making a goldcard and flashign the latest WWE RUU you can find.
Hboot drivers
Hello all!
I may be new to XDA, but i lurk a lot... And over the years this is the first time i've ever needed to post.
Right.. So today i bought an "HTC Desire HD" or 'Ace'
It was on Froyo (2.1?) S-ON and hboot 0.85 or something
I tried using AAHK - Which is fine, I've used it before successfully on my other DHD.
This time it was upgrading/downgrading a radio, error'd and quit.
It then restarted and bootloooped.
I tried Factory Restore did nothing
I then tried using many and various RUU's but i always get Error 131 or Error 190
I tried making a GoldCard to boot the phone still nothing
I also tried the PD98IMG.zip in the SD card (Tried with GoldCard too) Still Error 131
GoldCard does work as have tested it on another phone.
Currently sat staring at HBOOT wondering what the hell i can do to get it too switch back on!
The phone is locked to Orange UK with S-ON
The file that i believe to fix my phone is called "RUU-Ace-Orange-UK.18" something, but it just doesn't exist. I've searched all of google and only found dead links.
Just a little motivation, I'll donate to whom ever provides the fix for my phone my old Xperia Mini e10i! Thanks
AAHK is retired, and the server hosting the files it needs has been pulled. Without S-Off you can't flash radios. Are you just trying to root? If so, you can unlock your bootloader, flash a recovery, and flash a rooted ROM from there. You can't flash radios, but you can flash custom ROMs. The link in my signature has more detailed guides.
EDIT: but you will first need to update your hboot.

Please link me to hboot update, I've looked around but all links give me "downloadmanagerS.exe" :/
EDIT: I found the file for RUU Ace Orange UK (My phone is on Orange), but it's not finding my phone. And when i took the ROM out of it, and put onto simcard it's giving me an Incorrect Model ID
I believe that because your hboot is too old, you need to create a gold card to flash a RUU that supports hboot unlock. How to do that is beyond the scope of my knowledge, and due to the fact that the guy who used to handle all this stuff (glevitan) is no longer active here, you may just need to hope someone else shows up. You could try to look through his posts for that info.

So my phone is dead then D;
Basically you need to create a Goldcard and upgrade your bootloader.
I also have a Orange DHD and i am S-Off'd using another methord but the difference is that i have sense 3.0.
But due to your phones CID being ORANG001 you'll need the goldcard as there is no orange RUU firmware only HTC generic firmware.
Shot a PM if you still need help.
Hello guys,
I purchased a second hand HTC One M8 which has been converted to GPE, unlocked bootloader and S-OFF. The phone is currently locked to the Vodafone network, so I assume it was previously a Vodafone branded device.
Now I need to get this phone unlocked because Im with another netowork, so I purchased an unlock code online which failed (they have always worked in the past). I got a refund from the seller and was told to try a different seller. Purchased a new one but it turned out to be the same code. I told the seller my story and was told I need to make sure I am on the latest official stock ROM. Maybe the previous owner entered an incorrect code too many times and disabled this whole thing altogether? I dont know.
Im not sure how a stock ROM would make a difference, but the phone is useless to me being locked to Vodafone so I guess its worth a try. Now heres where I need your help because Im a Nexus user so Im not too familiar with all these CIDS, MIDS, etc.
I have changed my CID to superCID, do I now just flash the Vodafone RUU? Or do I need to take further steps? I dont really need to change the MID aswell do I? I will not be staying on stock, I will most likely be returing to GPE or some AOSP ROM and I'd like to keep the bootloader unlocked and S-OFF.
Also are there any other methods to get this SIM unlocked? I have read the thread about using a generated dat file, but read that no longer works.
Thanks.
Follow the 'back to sense' thread in general first, then set CID to the Vodafone one, I assume UK), then flash the RUU
Hi,
Thanks. Is this the thread you are referring to?
I thought I could flash any RUU with superCID which is why I changed to that, but no problem I'll just change it over to Vodafone to be safe, it is VODAP001 for the UK version I believe.
You can use the unbranded EU RUU if you prefer, it's up to you
And yes, that thread
No what I meant was I thought I should be able to flash the Vodafone RUU using superCID without having to change to the Vodafone one...but nevermind I changed it over anyway.
But Im having some problems with this actually. I downloaded what I thought to be the Vodafone ROM from the HTC dev site, the file name is m8ul-3.4.0-g3c7a5c1.zip, I follwed the steps laid out in the going back to sense thread but I get an error message '24 parsing android-info fail', tried a few times as mentioned in the thread but same thing happens.
I then located a Vodafone RUU exe in this thread. That failed to even run as confirmed by another member, something to do with InstallScript.
So then I tried flashing the previous zip file with the htc_fastboot that you provided in the same thread, same error as before.
Any suggestions? Or do you know if there is a working Vodafone RUU available anywhere?
The file on HTC Dev is the kernel source, which is why that hadn't worked.
As for the RUU, it looks like it could be corrupt.
You first have to flash that ZIP in the back to sense thread to get the partitions corrected and then you can flash an RUU. I'd just use the EU one as (for a start) it works and it means you don't have all the carrier rubbish
Oh ok, I didnt realise I had to flash that before flashing an RUU, I just thought flashing any RUU would sort out the partitions.
I'll go ahead and flash the zip file and the EU RUU as I am unable to find a Vodafone one. But Im really not too bothered about the carrier crap anyway because as I say the only reason for going back to stock is to try and SIM unlock the device, and if doing that will really make a difference then it would most likely do it on the stock Vodafone ROM, but I dont know I could be wrong.
I'll let you know how I get on.
You can SIM unlock it regardless of ROM. Some people say flashing the RUU will sort everything out but, in my experience, I've had to flash the first ZIP and then the RUU to get it all working properly
Thats what I thought but it didnt work. The unlock code provider then told me to make sure I am on official stock ROM which is why Im trying to get the Vodafone ROM loaded on this phone. As Ive said I dont know how much of a difference it will make if any, but it is worth a try I suppose.
Anyway Ive had some problems flashing the EU RUU, I followed the guide and flashed the firmware zip which went all fine. Then I flashed the EU RUU provided in your guide, but it kept giving me errors towards the end - 51 partition update fail. Downloaded another RUU which gave me the same error, tried an RUU exe which also failed. Tried flashing a different firmware but I cant remember if it failed at that stage or at the RUU stage. Then I thought maybe the firmware is an old version from Kit Kat. I felt as if I didnt know what I was doing and should give up!
I then came across this thread and that person was doing it through TWRP backups which I thought I should maybe try. But I dont know Ive been at this for hours and currently without a ROM or recovery! I think Im gonna flash back to GPE until I know what to do.
Model is M9w, soft bricked it accidentally by relocking and trying to install a ruu and it wasnt supported.The RUU program file worked fine when copying other stuff but when flashing rom showed an error that the device was not supported.The setup froze and i had to execute the program again so it could send it into bootloader so i could restart the device.TWRP is installed.Tried all the other ruus and redownloaded the T_Mobile one.ADB isnt working S-OFF and model is himaul.
Any help is appreciated.
AndroidFileHost or androidruu are the only ones i know of outside of htc..
There's a thread somewhere with lots of ruu's too but I'll be buggered if I know where it is..
