Have to send my phone back, but don't remember the CID number that was on the phone. I restored the original backup of the rom (1.32.405.6), and got s-on again, but I don't know how to find out what the original CID was, as I had on super CID (111111). I am trying to flash the original RUU (1.32.405.6) so I can get rid of clockwork etc, but keep getting error 155. Any help would be apriciated, as I have to send it back in for a HW failure.
What state did you receive the phone? Unbranded or locked to a network?
You can find what CID you should have in This Post.
bought it through chess here in norway, but its not simlocked or anything. guess ill just try out htc__001, but don't think thats what it was before. but the only other i found that i tought was worth trying was for norway, which was h10, but im 95% sure thats not it either, and thats the one i used when i got the error.
tried again with the unbranded id (htc__001), and got error 131 now.. still trying to flash the same rom which is already on the phone with the ruu exe file..
If you still have the part7backup file, created by the Radio S-Off tool, just open it with a hex editor, XIV32 for example (just a random one I used myself), and search it for HTC, if you think the CID started with HTC etc.
That's how I found my CID from the backup file at least

where can i find the part7backup file?
ok, apparently i lost that file when i made the ext3/4 partitions :s
the part7backup file i found is only 2 days old, and contains the cid i put manually :\
any way to just flash the stock ruu so i get rid off clockwork etc? guess ill just have to rely on them not checking that or something :s
When you have Radio S-OFF and SuperCID, you should first flash the original rom, and then remove Radio S-OFF and restore original CID.

Yeah, you should try "HTC__001".
By the way, when you start RUU, rom.zip appears to your PC temp folder. Open that zip, and you will see a text file among other files. The text file contains compatible CIDs.

thanks followed your advice, and restored radio s-off, supercid etc, and reflashed the rom. when i go back to s-on and cid htc__001, it is ready to be sendt in for service, right? or do i have to do something more?
Yeah should be ready to go to service
After S-ON I would do a factory reset to wipe every single trace of Visionary, just to be sure.

Hi
I've downloaded an HTC Europe 1.15 RRU that I used before and worked.
Now, however, it wont flash. I just get to the "waiting for bootloader" and then a "connection error". I tried rebooting into bootloader but then the RRU just counts upto 100 and then tells me there is a connection error.
The difference between now and last time is that I've updated my bootloader to Alpha-Rev bootloader and Clockwork Mod Recovery is installed. The phone is rooted and S-OFF as well.
I'm trying to restore the phone to factory condition in preparation for a return to HTC for repair.
I guess I need to resintall some bootloader and recovery mod?? or is that in the RUU?
Any ideas/advice?

Why do you want to put the FIRST ever RUU back onto your device? Just download the latest RUU (2.29.405.2) by clicking on my signature. This is assuming your phone in unbranded from the start, if not you'll need to get the RUU for your operator
Er, because I said ...
"I'm trying to restore the phone to factory condition in preparation for a return to HTC for repair"
Factory condition means ANY ROM that was meant for the unit - you don't need to go back to the first!!! So long as you're on an x.xx.405.x ROM you'll be fine!!! LMAO!!!
If you just flash the 2.29.405.2 RUU then you're back to stock so the factory will accept it
bloody hell.
saved me a ****ty weekend there pal.
nice1
cheers
will do this tonight and report back.
My HBOOT is 0.93.001 (flashed using alpha-rev clockword mod install utility). Some older RUUs refuse to load (waiting for bootloader and a reboot to bootloader whilst the RRU is still running - doesnt fix the problem). Appears to be waiting for a special signature from the bootloader. Is your link (RRU) likely to work do youo know ??
If you're currently S-OFF, which I assume you are, then get this file instead:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip
It's the same RUU but in ZIP form. Once downloaded remove everything from the name except PB99IMG (so the file is effectively called PB99IMG.zip) and copy it to the root of your SD card. Then boot into HBOOT and it will read the ZIP and ask you to continue. Say yes and once done reboot and you'll be back to stock. Then just remove the ZIP from the SD card and away you go!
Word of advice: I was S-OFF and using the N1Table and the first time I ran this it failed on the System partition and got stuck on the white HTC screen. I left it an hour, ran the PB99IMG again and it completed so if you are on anything other than the stock table I'd go back to that first using the file from AlphaRev before running the ZIP
Either way you should be fine
Yeah S-OFF.
I'm okay with the PB99 - used that when creating gold card and downgrading.
The N1Table stuf is new to me. I'll google that now.
Thanks for the tip and link.
Cheers pal.
**EDIT:
Okay, so N1table is the partition table for sram/nvram chips.
I have not knowingly modified these, but in any event will grab
the stock HTC table just in case. I can only assume the hangup
is generated because the partition table is hardcoded in the RRU
rather than being read in by the RRU - or something like that.
Anyway, thanks once again pal.
[Q] The phone was purchased on the UK Orange network although no branding on the phone (orange square logo and orange applications). The phone was locked to the Orange network and the settings SLIGHTLY different than the unbranded phone my bro has. Will I need to get hold of the Orange RRU before sending to HTC for repair (as in will the IMEI number be registered to Orange or something)?
If it had the Orange ROM on it then you will need that before sending it back...now, an Orange RUU has never surfaced BUT I might know someone getting one today so if I hear anything I'll post back on here.
If you needed a gold card to flash the stock RUU then you will need the Orange RUU
With regards to S-OFF, unless you downloaded and flashed a new table you will still be on the stock Desire one
I used alpha-rev' s-off utility (cant recall the link and didnt save it) but unsure whether the table has been modified. I'll just download the HTC one. Simples.
DAMM. I thought I may need the Orange RUU. Yes, the stock RRU wouldnt install I recall; required a gold card and a bootloader downgrade as I remember. ****!
I've been searching for Orange RUU for months to no avail.
As I said, hold out a day or so as I think someone might be getting it from Orange
Leave it with me...
Acknowledged
My gracious thanks in advance.
Good luck!
Eddy if you get a stock Orange RUU you will be god . Hope you get it.

It won't be me but apparently someone is getting an Orange techie to debrand his phone and he's getting the RUU in case he needs to go back to stock...as soon as I hear something I'll update

Hang on; dya mean its possible to create an RUU or backup of a branded Orange phone - as indeed I had before I rooted et.al. ? Oh no, could I have created one - surely not ?

Nice1 Eddy. The ZIP did the trick. The RRU method didnt work but I expected that as it was looking for an original HBOOT signature.
So, back to HTC stock. Not sure whether they would accept it for repair though given that it was sold as a branded Orange handset. Can they check?
Well, I will give this a go. The reason for the repair is that I've installed god knows how many custom ROMs and:
1. wifi doesnt always work.
2. Data connection errors.
3. Random reboots.
4. 90% reboot when navigating in the car.
5. Failure to answer some incoming calls.
6. Sometimes outgoing calls carry no voice modulation (they cant hear me)
different problems depending on ROMs.
So, lets see how the stock does before I decide to send back/or not.
Thanks again Eddy.
No, the bloke at Orange is going to give the guy getting it debranded the Orange RUU so he can go back to stock if he needs to...
HTC can tell, and my still fix it and put the Orange ROM back on it, but they may also turn around and refuse to fix it due to having a different ROM to the original
You can get to stock Orange with a very complicated method. After debranding you would root the phone. Then apply the backup on my thread. You then remove the superuser.apk with adb. You then flash the two updates orange released this unroots your phone back to stock.

Anyone have a nandroid from an Orange set??
Hi im trying to restore my Desire with factory Rom without root and S-off
Now in Bootloader it says

I tryed many times to flash official RUU
RUU_Bravo_Fastweb_IT_1.15.1600.5_Radio_32.30.00.28 U_4.05.00.11_rel_121996
(my Desire was branded Fastweb)
Everytime there is an error, flashing by bootloader
Main version is older!
Update fail
It shoud happen when HBOOT is newer than RUU , but i think my HBOOT is the right one.
I used goldcard, and then i tryed without but the problem is the same
How can i solve?
The coldcard works by making the phone ignore the CID (customer ID), so that you can install a RUU of ANY brand you wish. It DOES NOT work for bootloader versions, so e.g. once you update your phone to 2.2 (from 2.1), you CAN NOT, go BACK to 2.1 using an older RUU. Hope that helps you to understand it a bit more. As for upgrading your phone, try that:
I don't know whether your phone is GSM or CDMA (since I've never heard of that network) but if your phone is GSM (has a simcard), then use this RUU http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/...2U_5_11_05_27_release_159811_signed.exe_links
It is the latest WWE (world wide english) RUU so there is no way you will get that error. You need a working goldcard for it to work, but from reading your post it seems you have that covered so you should be fine.
You can go from 2.2 to 2.1 using teppic74's downgrade tool. Its a bit more involved than just flashiong an RUU.
That RUU is in th GSM section on shipped roms, but that doesn't necessarily mean it IS gsm

I tryed ur solution, but during flashing there is an error "131 customenr id error"
About the 2nd solution ( downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1) , its right to use it while i have hboot 0.75 (not 0.92) ?
Now i have on Leedroid 2.1.
RUU_Bravo_Fastweb_IT_1.15.1600.5_Radio_32.30.00.28 U_4.05.00.11_rel_121996.exe
So i think i need to have hboot 0.75, and its the hboot i can see in bootloader. Right?
I have to restore it because my touchscreen doesnt work, and warranty end with rooted phones
Downgrade dont work.
When i go in bootloader and i read PB991IMG.zip it says CID ERROR.
I've done goldcard many times, this is what i do:
Format MicroSD 4gb (stock microsd)
Open Gold Card Tool and complete the operation (it says gold card created)
what i do wrong?
When i have to install RUU in bootloader i put inside PB991IMG, so i extract Card and load the file by cardreader.
That error 131 appears everytime but when i try to install Official FASTWEB RUU it disappears and , as i said before, appears BOOTLOADER ERROR
you're either doing the goldcard wrong or your sd-card simply doesn't work as a goldcard.
try this tutorial and try again. http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/

There's a thank button
I've just spent some time searching but couldn't find an answer to this, so I thought I'd ask the question.
For those with a branded handset wanting to flash the latest overseas RUU, has anyone tried opening the Rom Update Utility, then opening the rom.zip and modifying the android-info.txt file to contain the CID matching their phone, saving the file, then proceeding with the RUU utility?
I'm not brave enough to try this on my own device, but I don't really see any reason why it wouldn't work, unless the CID is also referenced elsewhere, which is entirely possible.
The only issue I see is that because the CID of the phone is still as it was originally, the next OTA you receive would be carrier branded.
Has anyone tried this?
Sorry if this is a really n00b question. I'm experienced with the HD2, but new to Android Native devices. Have spent many hours reading up on it all but am still learning.
Cheers!
Furthermore, and this is a long shot I know.. But given that updated RUU packages also can contain updated bootloader, and if we can locate and edit the area that stores the CID value and S-On/S-Off value, or replace with a file from a known S-Off SuperCID device, could we not then create a new RUU package to flash a fully unlocked bootloader?

The updates are signed and you can't alter the files as the bootloader will reject it. The CID and security mode is kept in a different part of the flash which doesn't get overwritten by an update.
Ahh OK. I figured if it was that simple it would already be done.. LOL. Thanks for the reply.
Hi everybody,
I've been reading a lot of stuff since now but still have some unanswered questions.
I want to return to completely stock as for insurance or warranty purposes.
I originally got an german HTC One M8 with T-MOB101 cid.
I unlocked the bootloader as the temp-root variant did not work for me, s-off'ed, changed cid to Supercid and flashed ViperRom.
But now I have to send it in to insurance company because my display glass broke after dropping my htc one off about 1 Foot...:crying:
So how would be the optimal procedure to get as close to completely stock?
I know that after reverting everything the bootloader would still say relocked.
So my idea was to:
1. get an original T-MOB101 NAND backup and restore it (beforehand restore T-MOB101 cid)
2. flashing stock recovery
3. Removing Tampered (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51700320&postcount=1)
4. Setting Locked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571)
5. play over an OTA firmware.zip
This would lead me to a stock rom with OTA capability, but would still show me the red warning as well as S-OFF.
As an alternative I read about hex edited hboots to get rid of the red warning or even Mask S-off as s-on.
However in the according thread i could not make out an hboot corresponding to the T-MOB101 CID. So I tried it on my own after having a look at stock and modified hboots.
I edited my own hboot according to those modification but am too scared to flash it as it could hard brick my phone....
So I ask you guys, am I on the right way and what would you do ?

To tell you the truth, I don't think the insurance company will care about any software mods. Different story if you had to send it in to HTC.

Well, actually I would agree, but as they turn on the phone and a red warning pops up I could think of any crazy reason why they would deny the repair or exchange ^^.
Whatever that reason might be that would result in a broken glass caused by the software
Does the red text dissappear if I return S-ON, officially relock bootloader, stock recovery and cid?

Well ok, I feared that. You're not accidently fit in Hex-Editing ?
As I said, I already backed up my hboot and edited it as the other hboots I founds with the wrong cid. But I'm afraid of flashing it without anyone else who knows something about hexediting took a second look at it.
Also does the hboot get overwritten by a NAND backup? So if I'll restore I would have to modify that hboot and not the one I'm currently at?

First you should flash the stock rom then stock recovery.This will remove your red text.then you should flash ruu.I would suggest not to change your cid.
Also if you are comfortable you can change your cid to supercid,mid to wwe mid then flash wwe fw and its recovery then flash the ruu.This will convert your phone to international htc with s-off and super cid and you will be able to take ota and you will have full 100% warranty.
Hey Jyotirdeb,
thanks for your input.
But there is still the problem, that I have to come to T-MOB101 firmware and not the WWE. Furthermore as far as I have read, the red text will only disappear if I flash stock recovery, stock ROM AND S-ON again. At least without a modified HBOOT.
Other problem is, that there are as far as i know no RUUs available for the M8 up to now. Correct me if I'm mistaken. At least I didn't find one, especially for cid T-MOB101.

It is true that you have to be on stock rom and stock kernel.But you dont have to be s-on you can be s-off.And yes as far as I know there is EU ruu (unbranded) maybe you have to wait for hTC to release Ruu for other variant.I am sorry I cant be of more help.
Hmm, strange thing, as I actually read it again that there must be s-on and everything stock, to get rid of it, but nevermind.
Really, where could I get that RUU from? As far as I know only the Sprint or Verizon Variant does have a RUU not the International One.
Furthermore would I need the RUU from T-Mobile as the release it with their branding, not HTC.

If you have an s-on device you can change bootloader status to relocked but if you have soff device you can change bootloader stats to locked so you will get 100% warranty.I dont know about version or sprint but the ruu is available for unbranded EU model.

Actually, on that site there is a RUU for unbranded phones only. For T-MOB101 they have a nand backup and firmware. I'm still thinking whether I want to use that. That is, I have a similar issue as the OP, I mean, I want to reinstall Android, although I'm completely stock, unrooted, etc. It's just that the Lollipop update screwed everything up and I'm hoping that reinstalling will fix it. Unfortunately, for CID T-MOB101 no RUU is available. So, I either have to use the backup and then flash firmware, for which I have to root and install custom recovery first, or I have to wait till HTC comes up with Android 5.1.
I have an s off unlocked phone. Any of you know if its possible to downgrade to an older update? The new us update is affecting my calls and signal so i need to go back.
Just run the old RUU exe and you'll be set.

Depends. If his handset is s-on he can't "just" run the old ruu. With s-on you can't downgrade the bootloader to a lower version.
So it's either doable with s-off or look for the OS via a backup and try to restore that and run it on the new firmware.

They state they have an s-off unlocked phone in their first sentence.

So in the meantime i reflashed twrp and recovery and restored a backup.
But in the conclusion all i want now is to revert to full stock (i have no backup of that). Can i do that with s-off and bootloader re-locked? the reason that i want to do that is to recieve further updates ota. The reason i did all this to my phone was because the 4g was working when it wanted (not only 4g but mobile data in general). Now i'm thinking of reversing to stock, maybe future updates will solve this or to send the phone back for waranty.
So i need to flash stock, can you guide me from this point to achieve that?
My current software is 1.95.401.3, the phone was unlocked but not developer edition.Cid is HTC__34.
Help me what to do next and i will do one by one until i succeed (sry for my bad english)
@pocutzz you need SuperCID. In download mode, connect phone to pc and open a command window on your computer, type out "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" (I advice you copy and paste this but without the quotation marks), and then you will gain SuperCID. With this, you will be able to install any firmware/RUU regardless of CID.
@ OP, if you want to downgrade, since you are S-OFF there is no need to relock bootloader. As long as your have SuperCID you can downgrade to any firmware just like that. Download RUU and run it.

if you RUU you should still be able to receive OTA afterwards but don't count on me for that one as I've never restored back to stock before. You can search for previous HTC 10 RUUs on google, I recommend not going too far back and just going on the update before the 1.95 one (1.90 I think). Not every version has an RUU so if you can't find an RUU you want, try and find an older version.

It should be fine, yes. Make sure you have SuperCID and remember that you do not have to relock your bootloader when running the RUU as you are already S-OFF

i re-locked before i run sunshine for s-off. i will try to do that in a few minutes
i have done superCID, but before i try to flas the ruu, wanted to ask you, after that what remains? like s-off,root,twrp,custom recovery?
Okey so i did the superCID, in download mode it shows me the 1111111 but on the phone when i run CID Getter still says HTC__034 (that is how it suppose to show?), i copied from here like you said.Downloaded the ruu.exe from htc website,and when it runs it resets my phone to download mode,the bar goes instantly to 100% and the ruu installer says the 155 error,incorect version i think.
What do i do next?
Maybe MID problem?i've read something about it for HTC M8 i have mid 2PS620000. Maybe the ruu.exe on htc website is for US and i need EU?
Later edit: So i put the global variant with .401. in the sd card and it started to flash, i will se what is what...

S-OFF will never be wiped, if you have relocked then it will remain relocked state. Everything else is wiped and restored to stock including recovery, system, data, Internal Storage MIGHT BE WIPED I am not so sure.
if it shows SuperCID in download mode it should be fine. All you needed to do to get it was to execute that command line I posted before.
