[Q] Problems installing stock RUU WWE Rom. Any help?

Hi, everyone.
Got a Desire 2.1 update-1 branded by Orange ES. Hboot is 0.83. Dunno if it's SLCD or OLED, does it matter anyway?
Used unrevoked to successfully root and installed a custom recovery (unrevoked standard). Right after this the phone wouldn't go past the HTC logo but I could still get recovery screen. I tried a recovery but it didn't work either. From there I tried installing RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe (which is the one I want to upgrade from to stock Froyo2.2) but I got a problem in the middle of the installation ( installer says I needed to use the proper file for my phone). Then I used the recovery screen to install a custom ROM, AuraxTSense Froyo and that worked (have it on right now) but from this ROM the RUU WWE installer doesn't work either.
Any suggestions?

You'll need a gold card to use the stock RUU file - otherwise your phone doesn't pass the CID check because it's branded...

The Error code the installer gives me is "131" if that helps. On the phone it shows "CID error, cannot continue". Any ideas what does this mean? Help? Please?

now i know.. after flashing to stock RUU WWE, can i still use the unrevoke technique you taught me?
i did flash my phone using stock RUU WWE Europe (as far as i can remember) and thinking to flash WWE Asia... i cant get 3G/GPRS/MMS settings in my carrier.. im thinking if flashing WWE Asia ROM could solve the problem...

Quite possibly yes, and yes you can re-root with unrEVOked once done

thanks again EddyOS ill flash right away

Ok, so now I did a goldcard and the process seems to go a bit further but it stops. It says "Error 104, wrong hboot version - please install the correct version for your mobile phone". Any answers?

to pass the CID check, try this: htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2934

That now means the HBOOT version you have is newer than the one in the ROM you're trying to flash...What ROM are you trying to flash?
EDIT: If it's still the one in your OP then chances are you'll need the stock 2.10.405.2 RUU to get the generic ROM on the handset. You can get it by clicking on the version on my signature

Flash unbranded ROM question

Hi everyone,
I bought an unlocked Desire HD, but I guess it's from German Vodafone.
Everything works fine etc, but I guess I rely on Vodafone for the latest update, isn't it?
I want to remove the carrier (Vodafone) stuff from my device. Is it possible to flash the original HTC (no carrier stuff) Rom on my device and also get the latest OTA from HTC, when it's available?
I searched via the forums already, but couldn't find a proper answer.
So I hope someone can help me

if you do a search on how to make a goldcard, once you have done that, you can just flash a generic htc ruu

Yes, although you may have to create a gold card first, also you don't say what your Firmware version is, but full instructions can be found here

Sorry, I'm on 1.39, fully rooted and Radio S-OFF & ENG S-OFF
Thanks for the help gonna search the gold card thingie

I went to Clockwork Recovery and selected "Select zip & update".
When it opens the zip it says: "Can't open the zip (bad)" and abort the whole thing.
I wanted to try a stock 1.32 rom, don't know what I'm doing wrong :-s

You do not do it in clockworkmod, but in bootloader. Just put the PD98IMG.zip to your SD card and reboot to bootloader. It will ask you automatically whether you want to flash.

OH i see
Thanks it worked ^^

You tried this description, and followed it word for word?
And to my knowledge you should not need to create a goldcard when you have an unbranded device.

I had the exact problem. I created a goldcard, and everthing worked out fine. Not sure why a goldcard is required even when our device is apparently unbranded, but anyways, goldcard does the work.
Try following this guide:

Thank you so much for replying. I have yet to try out the guide you have mentioned in the link, however, I do need to ask one or two questions:
1. If I create a goldcard, will I be able to ever upgrade to the Official Gingerbread ROM, when it is released for India.
2. Can I switch between ROMs (stock/non-stock) seamlessly, without any complains.
I would really appreciate if you would really help me out here.

I had the same problem with downgrading to 1.3 as of the PD98IMG.zip. tried for 2 days and i kept getting the CID incorrect error. finally it came to me..i wasnt running the command prompt as administrator. it worked like a charm for me. that might be the reason why you're getting the CID incorrect error.

For your first question, no. And it has nothing to do with goldcard. I you are rooted and use some custom rom, you will not receive any official updates. Although you can at anytime go back to stock to get them.
But beleive me, when you start using custom roms, you do not need the official updates. I too am from India, and was waiting for the official 2.3.3, but finally a few days back decided to root and go for custom rom (RCMixHD Kingdom). And i am loving it..
So go ahead, make your goldcard.
And yeah, for your second, yes you can. Although, i dont think you will ever..

Thanks

Don't forget that you need a Goldcard to flash your phone.

Thanks for the link
I saw it before, but unfortunately I can not find 1.35.720.3 in the list, just these have same RADIO as mine (47.10.35.30 29H)
RUU_Marvel_HTC_Europe_1.30.401.0_Radio_47.10.35.30 29H_7.46.35.08_release_183799_signed.exe
RUU_Marvel_HTC_Thailand_1.40.1113.3_Radio_47.10.35 .3029H_7.46.35.08_release_189976_signed
RUU_Marvel_HTCCN_CHS_1.38.1400.5_Radio_47.10.35.30 29H_7.46.35.08_release_190359_signed
Can i flash every of there on my phone?
Also I made goldcard already.

Of course it's a problem.
For the moment lastest Europe version is 1.33.401.2.
Look here : http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Marvel
You may have an error message saying that the version is too old.
But you can try, you will not brick your phone anyway.
If your phone is S-OFF and rooted, you can wipe cache and data, flash a custom rom like this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186354 (thanks to Alquez). You will return to 1.33.401.2.
For your second question OTA_Marvel_HTC_ARA_1.47.415.1 ROM is an arabic language ROM.

Thanks bro.
my phone is s-on and not rooted yet.
as you mentioned "OTA_Marvel_HTC_ARA_1.47.415.1" is arabic and I want to enable arabic language on my phone to read PERSIAN.
but after booting to HBOOT, the phone detect the update, check it and then return to HBOOT menu, and wont install any thing.
I want to know how can I force phone to install the update!

Sometimes, the problem is the Goldcard, it not works correctly.
Before I was rooted and S-OFF, I managed to update my phone till 1.30 version to 1.33.
I've maid my goldcard with this tutorial. It isn't very difficult, you just have to follow each step carefully.

I will give it a try and will inform you.

New goldvard dosnt work as well
Its seems i have to wait for next europian version to debrand.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using XDA App

I think so.
There is a good explanation there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16479167#post16479167
(See post n°6)
Or if you can't wait, I suggest you to buy XTC Clip. It works fine and it's easy to use.
Good luck.

Chapi, The sugessted way is a little bit risky! I bricked a MOTOROLA recently so I am afraid to do any risky modification.
So I have to wait for a newer version of Europe shipped rom.
thanks anyway .

[Q] HTC Desire Stock ROM Type?

Good Day to you all
I really can't find the answer to this, so here goes:
I have a HTC Desire with HTC Sense (GSM Version), and i would like to root the phone and install the Cyanogenmod 7 ROM; but here is the thing i am unsure which stock rom to download as none seem to match mine:
Baseband Version: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Build Number: 2.14.207.3
The closest ROM i have found is this: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release.
But if I install the above ROM if something goes wrong will it brick my phone? And if so were can I download a stock ROM that would be suitable for my phone?
I have searched for ages attempting to find a suitable ROM but have been unsuccessful.
Your help would greatly be appreciated.
Many, Many Thanks
Tor Fey

When you have an unbranded device, you can flash the named ruu. When you a branded device, you have two options:
- create goldcard and flash ruu
- flash the ruu from your provider

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
The problem is there does not seem to be a rru from my provider? i am with O2 Manx Telecom, this is why i would like to know if the rru i have found will do as stock?

The only ruu for o2 for froyo I could find is this one:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe
But this one is older than your current version. So create goldcard with goldcardtool (google for it) and flash stock ruu.
As long as you did not apply the gingerbread ruu, flashing a ruu won't brick your phone.

Thanks very much Man
I will give it a go tonight.
