[Q] Install RUU from recovery or fastboot - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can't get my phone to boot into a rom, but it will boot into Recovery and I have S-OFF + Fasboot. Trying to flash on the 'RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed' so I can just send it back (think it has hardware failures).
Please could someone help me on how I can do this? Never used an RUU before
Thank you

To start with, boot your phone into fastboot (power & back key).
Connect to PC, phone should show 'fastboot usb'.
Turn off antivirus.
Run the RUU as administrator if not using XP.
let it do its stuff

Oh, thank you!
All the tutorials kept mentioning I needed to use HTC sync etc, glad it can be done via fastboot.
EDIT:
Yeah that all worked, phone is back to stock. Still doesn't boot into the ROM so I can assume it's a hardware issue now?

Yep but at least they'll deal with it as it's stock

thank you thank you thank you. This thread took forever for me to find, HTC sync hates me but this worked! and my warranty is up next week i needed to send my phone back.
Many thanks guys - xda is the bomb!

HTC Wildfire does not turn on

Hello there!
I have a 'bricked' rooted Wildfire which will not boot. However, it is able to enter adb mode.
I have tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639, but "adb reboot fastboot" does not do anything.
adb logcat shows the system trying to start up, but there is absolutely nothing on the phone's screen.
Anyone has any idea?
Thanks!
Is it s-off? If so you can try Fastboot flash of a safe stock rom.

Hi thanks for your reply!
No it isn't s-off'd.
adb reboot fastboot only makes the phone reboot to normal mode... nothing on the screen
RUU doesn't work - it waits for bootloader then times out!
Thanks for your help

Go to revolutionary IRC and they can help you. I can give you some help. If ADB detects the phone type adb reboot boatloader. Then if bootloader shows up, run the RUU.

EDIT: Spoke too quickly! RUU completed successfully but screen is still blank
Well if the phone is not s-off'd you still have your warranty. Just make up a story about your phone just didn't work one day and you did nothing wrong.

[Q] Help Please - Bricked One X

Another thread like this... I know. Sorry.
In an attempt to load the modified battery management file, I've managed to brick my One X. It just sits at the 'HTC quietly brilliant' screen and that's as far as it gets.
I can boot into bootloader and then use fastboot, which in turn has allowed me to load the Clockwork Touch Recovery. I can reboot and load this recovery fine. But whatever I try, I cannot get it to boot back into the normal OS.
I cannot mount the phone on my laptop as that's not an option (that I'm aware of) in the One X recovery mode. Therefore I cannot copy across a new ROM to the SDCard and reload via 'Update.zip'.
Battery is healthy, everything was working prior to this failed attempt at being clever.
What other options are there to re-load a ROM and get the device working again?
Thanks in advance for your help
Rob

Thank you, very much. A question, where it says:
'After that download RUU specific to your handset and run. This should install fine and return you to stock.'
I've downloaded what I think is right and I have a .zip file, how can I get this onto the device to install it?
It is mentioned in the instructions. You will need to use adb.
Edit: I presume that you have fast boot and adb installed on your PC. If not you will need to do that for your device to be recognized

That's the trouble, I can't. Because there is no USB access in recovery, ADB doesn't work.
Unless I'm missing something obvious?

I just edited my reply. Do you have all the drivers installed on your PC?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
No adb.
Boot into fastboot on mobile and run the RUU from pc.
You need to have your bootloader locked before the RUU can run.
fastboot oem lock
Also did you try a factory reset in recovery and then tried to reboot into system
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Thanks guys, sorry for the slow reply...
I do indeed have ADP/Fastboot on my computer still.
Where can I download the stock RUU? I can find a .zip version from this very forum, but how do I install that if I can't transfer it? I had assumed there would be a .exe version to run from my computer. Is there?
skywalker1970 - I did indeed try that, thanks.
Thanks again

Unroot using OneXRoot.com, now stuck at bootloader

Hi guys, seriously need some help.
Was on LeeDroid ROM and Bricked kernel.
Restored my phone to stock ROM using CWM recovery.
Followed the unroot method on OneXRoot.com
All the way till step 13 (factory reset using stock recovery).
Now I can't get out of the bootloader. Seen people mention RUUs. How do I flash them?
Please and thank you,
Laz.
When you are in the bootloader menu. Select fastboot. Have HTC Sync installed but closed. Download the required RUU for your device if you need help with this just ask . Plug your phone in when it is in fastboot and run the RUU.

Will HTC Sync Manager do? Or does it work only with HTC Sync?
Im not sure actually I installed HTC Sync as I know it comes with the drivers.

[Q] Finally took the plunge and rooted it, but can't do anything else?

Finally rooted the phone today, but when I try to go into an alternate recovery, or install a ROM (which I've never done before) the phone reboots (like it should I'm assuming) begins to load what I told it to do, and then I get an image of my phone with a red question mark above it, and my phone just reboots again.
What's causing this?

How are you flashing the recovery. The description you are describing is the stock recovery to flash a new recovery do it in fastboot (fastboot flash recovery name of recovery here)
Get the all in one tool from the dev section and it will do it for you.
All you need to do is choose which one you want CDMA or gsm, twrp or cwm (i prefer twrp for the one v)

'Ok the All in one tool worked. I flashed TWRP, wiped my caches and installed AOKP JB 4.1.2, i've got the "Initiating swagger" screen, how long should this take?It's been about 10 minutes...
So as far as i can tell, the rom install failed because i didnt complete the wipe (because the wipe through TWRP failed...) what causes this?
It will say it failed because the sd-ext didn't wipe (THAT'S A GOOD THING) the /sd-ext is your SD card lol. So did you get into the actual ROM for aokp? So when you clicked swaggerfy it froze? Hmm I'd try a different ROM or different kernel what kernel are u using. I reccomend Jan 3rd super slick (anything newer breaks the camera).
Edit: i noticed you said caches? Do did you click factory reset? I usually do factory and dalvik but i think factory does it all.

I hope I get a fairly quick response to this Followed some advide in that thread, flashed a kernel (I thought) using the All In One Tool, ever since, I've been stuck in a bootloop. Obviously I have access to my bootloader and TWRP (thankfully). My recovery backup returns the same results though.
Im new to this so I'll try toprovide all the info I can.
Followed the TUT on how to Unlock Bootloader and Root 2 days ago.
Yesterday, using the All In One tool, flashed TWRP onto phone.
Was unable to Flash AOKP JellyBean 4.1.2 so I asked for help again (ROM was flashed, but stuck on Initiating Swagger Boot)
Tried using All-In-One to flash (what I thought was) a kernel, since then, my phone just boots continuously or not at all (depending on if I wipe or whatnot)
While at work, I was able to Flash the AOKP rom and Boot into it, but after about 1 minute of use, it reboots.
This is where I'm at now.
My bootloader says
***UNLOCKED***
PRIMOC PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT- 1.57.0000
RADIO- 1.00.05.0929

Jun 18 2012, 10:22:43
I'm using the latest version (2.3.3.) of TWRP
Is there anyway I can find, and delete, the boot.img I flashed with All-In-One, that caused this bootloop?
Found out why: radio is the new version aka .0928
HTC provided a new radio release and it screwed up being able to flash new JB roms. The fixable solution is to find the virgin mobile ruu exe and do that long process to get the old radio: .0521_2(?) back. I'll link you to the ruu thread in a sec let me find it first

But I'm having a hard time flashing that new RUU because when I'm in my Bootloader, and in Fastboot USB, my computer doesn't see my phone.
WHen I try to enter the fastboot code into the cmd shell, It just says that fastboot is not a recognized command...
That's because you aren't changing the directory to the fastboot folder.

All right do this.
Create a folder as fastboot on c drive of PC(hope you're on windows)
Download fast boot files.
Put in c:/Fastboot
Go in fastboot mode on phone.
It should say fastboot USB.
Open command prompt.
Type cd c:/fastboot/
Hit enter. The prompt should say this address now.
Type your fast boot command you want

Do NOT charge it over night. It damages the battery, and this is experience talking to you. Leave your phone charging for 3 hours, and that's sufficient.

Adb is used when phone powered on normally or in recovery mode. To flash recovery, we usually use fastboot mode.
What state is your phone? Meaning if boot unlocked, s-on, etc.

The phone is unlocked an rooted but is stuck in hboot (it just keeps rebooting), I can access fastboot mode and when I connect the phone it changes to "fastboot usb" and the PC detects it as "android 1.0", I tried installing the drivers from the google SDK, the PDANet drivers and the HTC Sync program with no luck, it just detects it as "My HTC" (only when installing the HTC Sync program) and ADB doesn't detect it that way.
