i didn't think it belonged in the dev forum.

Personally I think it is a worthy enough cause to warrant being there.

Maybe ask that man...

i've downloaded about 5 different versions of the "stock" supersonic roms and all of them fail to update via bootloader. they either go all the way through the check and tell me "update fail! main version older" or just simply goes back to the main hboot screen. it seems to me that if i could find the right rom/image, and get it to load that i may be able to save the phone.

Link to 1.47.651.1 RUU?

Been looking for this everywhere. Was interested in running the RUU after trying the new root method, and then trying to Re-Root again. But i cant find the link to the 1.47.651.1 RUU anywhere. I know its out there, just looking for some one to point me in the right direction.
Much Appreciated.
This probably needs to be moved to q&a please...
Edit - I actually can't find that RUU anywhere. Not sure if there is one. Still looking though
move it to wherever you think it will get answered best. I thought the development section would be appropriate.
I dont get to move threads. Thats all up to the Mods, but I am working on finding that RUU right now.
all thanks goes to con - http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
OP - Why not just do a Factory reset and run the updater OTA?
Here you go

I want to make sure the RUU will upgrade for me if i'm running and older version.
Thanks everyone!
if you just want the OTA update just flash back to the stock rom and run the OTA update from there, then use the latest root method.

NEW Hboot with OTA update Dont root !!!!

Hi all I updated to the OTA 3.29 though sprint this is what I did....
I was rooted but the update unrooted which we all know we were told that.
So I ran this method 1st with the org stock 3.26... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141 that was rooted via unrEVOked 3.21: one-click root for Froyo, no downgrading...
then ran the 3.26 ruu to get the phone back to stock everything when k...
then I did the ota 3.29 update the phone now has the new radio 2.15.00.09.01, hboot 0.97 and prl 1.77. (NICE)
After that I ran this... How to Unroot the EVO in 2 STEPS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776477, it rooted the phone again... (NICE IT WORKS)
But then I said ok I want to start over just to see if something goes wrong with the phone I will be able to go back to unroot to bring the phone to sprint for repair or replacement and to my surprise (BIG NOPE )
When I try to run http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141 go turn S-OFF back to S-ON it FAILS...
I know the Devs will fix this soon but I just wanted to let everyone know just in case you are thinking of rooting your phone after the NEW OTA 3.29 update that once you root u cant go back.....
run s-on before flashing unrooted rom.

can you describe more on why you can't downgrade ?

When I tried to downgrade before it went through all the processes and on the last one it failed due to it being locked to orange so if this works big thank you

ahh so i've just had a look at this, and its exactly the same post i read and tried... so im sorry but it doesnt work!
plus i can't make a goldcard just dont understand the step by step, anyone else out there who can help?
also made a slight mistake with my software version... its as follows
Android Vers... 2.2.1
Build Number 1.84.61.2 CL333804 Release Keys
Software 1.84.61.2
What have you tried so far, and where did it fail.
failed on the last test, because its locked to orange and they have their own os or sumit along those lines, but it was the last last thing that went tits up on the downgrade!

after trying the downgrade again, ive down everything it asks, im now on the bootloader screen and its come up CID incorrect Update Fail! press power to reboot
thats the part im stuck on, so either i need to unlock my phone... or try and find the 1.32 software that orange released part from that i have no idea what to do
Did you create a goldcard? If you successfully made a goldcard it wouldn't fail on the CID.
no i can't mate, i have no idea how to create one... ive tried to follow step by step guides and whatnot but i just can't get my head around it, its probably so easy i could do it blind but yeh im not that techi to work it out... would it help if i pay someone to unlock my phone? i seriously have no clue... i can jailbreak an iPhone with no issues whatsoever but thats a iPhone lol
Without a goldcard you can't downgrade. Unlocking will just remove the SIM lock, it won't root or otherwise modify you handset.
If your quick & install TeamViewer I can attempt to make a goldcard for you from your computer.
will do mate that would be awesome, ok where would i download teamveiwer?
scrap that ive downloaded it
Once you've installed it PM me the ID and 4 digit password.
ivve got that up and running
PM me the correct password, it should be 4 numbers
thanks everyone, and especially thanks to AndyHarney for creating my "goldcard" after many weeks of frustraition ive finally rooted that mofo lol, all tho now after all that ive forgotten what i was actually doing in the 1st place lol... i'm sure i wanted to put on Gingerbread or a custom rom
if anyone fancys giving me a hand with that i'd be seriously greatful lol
I personally use MrGaraks MIUI 1.41. Its iPhone-esque in appearance but it is essentially a very heavily skinned CyanogenMod 7. It gets better every week too as MIUI updates weekly on a Friday.
Your spoilt for choice really when it comes to ROMs.
So are you now rooted, with clockwork mod recovery?

GB 2.3.3 almost rooted

So I was reading a post about someone who was potentially able to downgrade hboot 2.16 hw4 2.3.3 to hboot 2.10 via bootloader and a PC63IMG.zip that had 3.70 in it. So I tried on my 2.3.3 s-On evo and sure enough it failed. It wouldnt work because it was an older version. So, I extracted the PC63IMG.zip and replaced the hboot 2.10 with hboot 2.16 (renaming hboot 2.16 to hboot 2.10) from the post in the dev section. I used winrar and with normal compression rezipped the files and signed in android kitchen. it actually loaded the files and went through checking them, but once check it kicked me back to the main menu of the bootloader with no error or messages. I tried the same with the file with no compression when zipped and signed and i got an error stating that it was a wrong file. and didnt even pass the check. So have I stumbled upon something simple and useful? Can someone help me look into this further and maybe it will get us somewhere. Or am I a dumb?
Sweet. I'm sure you are the first one to get this ROM ported, I know others have tried but they haven't had much success.

What? I never said anything about porting. I was trying to find a simple way to Root my Evo running 2.3.3. Still no luck but I was hoping what I found may be something someone has not yet tried. Its simple but I was suprised that it looked like it passed the bootloader check. I did not receive any errors, but at the same time could not downgrade.
Once you got back to the hboot menu, what version did it say you have?
If 2.10, I would think your next bet is try and run unrevoked

You do know the dev section is for more than ROM's. Moron. This is a post from someone attempting to find root and you show your true intelligence level.

He wasn't serious about porting anything, common thing to do when someone posts in the wrong section (especially in development).
On my main note, any modification of an "official" PC36IMG.zip would break HTC'S signature and the bootloader would not accept the update.

He's attempting to Flame I believe. Due to a lot of mis placed posts. However, I do not find this to be mis placed. It is valid, and just the fact that it tried to run is great. farther then most have gotten, and the way I see it, any good inputs/thoughts should be welcomed warmly.

So now what I am trying to do is download, extract, and replace the hboot from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VSFLE9CD with the 0.76 hboot, repack, resign, and test in the bootloader. This is all really simple stuff and thats why I am wondering if it will work. Because its so simple something like this was overlooked.

as far has my bootloader says for now it has the latest everything unfortunately. hboot 2.16 hw4 and all that. I was surprised that I was able to get passed the check without an error doing this though and its why I posted. I have 4 minutes left on the new PC63IMG.zip downloading before I can try to mess with it.
I tried this exact same thing just last night. It did the same thing to me as well, with it returning to the bootloader menu with no error msgs. If somehow we are able to edit the PC36IMG.zip file to match the hboot version 2.16 with the 3.70 update to pass security check then we may be on to something. But I'm not sure how to resign an IMG zip with HTC's signature to pass security. Thoughts?

You will be my hero if this works.
Damn! Same thing. I loaded up the latest update with the older hboot renamed to match the new one it replaced. rezipped with normal compression, signed PC63IMG.zip with latest kitchen, it loaded the modded PC63IMG all the way in the bootloader and passed that, then started checking the file and then just went to the main menu again with no errors.
Is it possible that it is not doing anything because it thinks im loading up the same version it is running? Could I simply change another file to make the bootloader think Im uploading a newer version so it would take the update?
I guess you guys haven't heard the news, but you can't resign the damn thing with HTC's key because we don't have HTC's keys. As many have stated the focus should be temp root, then the bootloader shall fall. Cart before the horse kids.
That sucks. Oh well can't hurt that you tried.
Otta way to think out of the box. I hope u get somewhere with this buddy. I would love to help but I know nothing. Lol. I can make lock rings. That's bout it. Good luck

I know that but if you don't sign with the kitchen it wouldn't have even gotten this far correct? So its something right? Even if it doesn't work, its another thing on the list that has been tried and maybe it will lead to something else. You never know with electronics. A single random chip could be made slightly different from others and it changes everything. No way to know until you try.
Do I really need to link every post where someone has tried to mod these files, I mean really...
There is a post about every three days on this same subject, it goes on for two days and then gets locked like this one will. And on the next day somebody else posts their marvelous idea of tricking the bootloader. And the cycle continues.

New Member (NOOB) Looking for help. HTC Desire

Hi folks, I have just joined as a friend of mines told me XDA was the place to look for help in sorting out my HTC Desire.
I will do some reading over the weekend and hopefully sort the problem out myself and not need to look like a complete tosser. There is obviously millions of members and endless amounts of topics to chose from.
A brief description of my problem : I installed the HTC Gingerbread 2.33 RUU a few months back and ran into issues with the storage, which I believe the update warned of. Anyway, that RUU updated the handset no problem, but me being me I decided I wanted to revert to a stock rom so downloaded an older version which failed to install on the phone.
I used Revolutionary method to gain S-Off and created a NAND back up without any problems then I tried to run the old RUU and hit a brick wall so to speak. I am now stuck on the TMobile UK loading screen and although I can boot into HBOOT menu I cant use recovery to gain access to the back up or anything else.
My PC is now wont find my Desire as a phone but just a Android Device.
As I say I will do some searching and hopefully find my way through the maze of information.
If I need anymore help I will give full details of ROM Version , HBOOT and exactly how I got my phone into such a sorry state.
Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help me.
Don't Worry.. got you problem..
First of all install latest HTC sync and android UBD drivers..
Then Give me detail of device.. We'll proceed if still faces the problem
