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.

Nice1 Ste, however, mine is SLCD not Amoled. The nandroid is from an Amoled handset. Wont work with mine. Nice idea tho.
Anyone have a nandroid from an Orange set??
hi guys, can some please help me on this. im a bit stock. i am on tmobile network and have a DHD and i would like to return to stock. i have gone to the HTC Desire HD files but i dont know which one to use for me to return back to stock. can anyone tell me which one it is or post a link for me please as i dont want to flash the wrong one. I really need it as i need to send it back for repair. I really need it asap. Also i have 1 problem, my volume up button is stuck and when i turn my phone on, it vibrates 3 times and the orange light just flashes. is there a way to sort this out?
Since you want to send it to repair, ask them to repair the "stuck" volume button problem.
here is the link to go back to stock.

Here is also a little shorter version from jkoljo's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?t=857537):
"To go back to S-ON:
•Flash stock ROM (RUU)
•Temproot using Visionary
•Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)
•Enjoy your factory-state phone"
And here is the RUU for Telus DHD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932771 (Notice that I'm not sure if this is the recommended version for your phone but this is the only one I could find with a quick search)

Was your phone branded when you got it?

i dont know if it was. how do i know if it was? please help me. i love my DHD too much for it to turn into a coaster. if i send it back to tmobile, even though i have rooted it, does it void the warranty?
What exactly did you do when you flashed a custom rom (assuming you did)?

nothing, i have the leedroid rom and what i did was a restart as it was playing up a bit. when i did the restart, the 3 vibrates started and the orange light started to flash. i went in to CWM and did a key test and the volume up button did not respond so i take it is stuck. the way that i go into CWM was i plugged in my charger and the CWM comes up. i really dont know what i can do. also i dont want tmobile to know that i rooted my DHD as i heard it voids the warranty. any ideas on what i can do?
I meant how did you flash it? Did you have to use a goldcard etc? Did your phone have any t-mobile logos anywhere (eg bootanimation) when it was running stock rom? If not then you can do this:
- Flash stock ROM (RUU http://xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/RUU_A....140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe)
- Temproot using Visionary
- Use my tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537), do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID, should be T-MOB005 for t-mobile uk)
Above steps were provided by jkoljo
Also messing with the software shouldn't really void the warranty because the defective volume button is solely a physical fault. There could ofcourse be a dispute of somekind, but in the end they have no right to refuse warranty service.
This could though become o problem if you have any software related warranty issues in the future.
ok Ive read Eveywhere regarding my problem so Im after some help.
Currently have rooted Unbranded DHD Eng S-OFF + Custom Rom.
Need to send in for repair so need to stock it.
Ive tried to flash RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.50.405.2_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_199042_signed
but keeps sticking on the "Sending" Screen with HTC on phone.
Ive also tried to flash
RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed
but same as above.
When I originally rooted etc, I backed up my "Stock" Rom and I have restored that to the phone.
Questions are this.
If I install the OTA Update, will this return my phone to Stock ?
Why is the RUU not flashing.
Any help would be greatly received..
Regards
Shad.
You do really need to use an RUU to make sure that everything is completely stock. Are you sure that your computer is set up properly? Android SDK and all installed? If you have a desktop use the USB ports on the back as they are connected directly to the motherboard. The front ones are connected with a cable and are more prone to errors.
Try to factory reset the phone (through the settings menu) and then try to install the RUU again. Make sure USB debugging is on and Fast Boot is turned off.
Heres a guide just for reference.
1: Install 1.32.405.6 RUU
2: Use Visionary+ R14 to temproot, then permroot
3: Reboot
4: Use Jkoljo's Easy Radio Tool to set S-On and set the CID to the default HTC__001 (Unless your phone came carrier branded in which case the CID will be different)
5: Reboot
6: Reflash the RUU
7: Update to the latest software normally through software updates.
EDIT: An OTA update will not reset your phone back to stock. It will merely install a new ROM (or change the current one slightly) and maybe a new radio. It will leave it S-Off and everything.
So if I do
4: Use Jkoljo's Easy Radio Tool to set S-On and set the CID to the default HTC__001 (Unless your phone came carrier branded in which case the CID will be different)
That will take ENG S-OFF back to SHP S-ON ?
Also, will the RUU get rid of Clockwork ?
The Easy radio tool will take it back to Radio S-On
The RUU will get rid of the custom ROM, custom radio (if you have one), clockwork and put Eng S-On.
Well Fastboot is off. USB Debugging is on.
Factory Reset and still Not getting past the Sending screen....
Getting Annoyed now lol.
Any way to install via SD Card ?
Yes, the PD98IMG method.
Run the RUU until you get to the "Start Upgrade" type screen.
Don't start the upgrade.
Search your computer for rom.zip "it was extracted from the RUU"
Copy rom.zip to your SDCard.
Rename rom.zip to PD98IMG.zip
Reboot into Bootloader
Follow prompts.
ok SD Card Method works. YEY
Now SHP S-OFF also.
Thanks for the help !
Hi,
I used HTCDev to root my DHD, installed ClockworkMod Recovery, and used it to install a custom ROM.
I used fastboot to flash the boot.img file, and now the phone will boot once, and work well, but as soon as i reboot it it freezes at the HTC logo screen (white background, HTC logo, before it shows the "quietly brilliant" tagline.)
I have to reflash the boot.img to get it working again.
If I relock the firmware as per HTCdev instructions, i also hangs at the logo screen, even at first boot.
Hboot screen:
*** UNLOCKED ***

if i load a PD98IMG.zip file to the root of the SD, it will read it, but not give me the option to flash, i can only flash with fastboot/clockworkmod
I have tried flashing and older hboot, but it returns a signature error
any advice would be helpful

Use AAHK, advanced ace hack kit to root. You can findbit in the dev section.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Have searched this forum since 2 days now, but was not able to find answer, instead i found different statements making me even more unsecure, what happened, and what are my next steps. So here is my story:
Have used Unlock-Bootloader procedure on HTCDEV, which worked fine. My goal was to use apps like T-Backup or Antitheft-security-software which need root-access to enable all functionality. But have learned now that i am still not rooted, still on S-ON.
Have also lost my German language on the phone ! With going through a "restore factory setting" i get german menu at the beginning, but at that point where i can select a language i only get the selection of English or Greece.
So now i am looking, which next steps i do have to do in order to get root access. I do not want to mod... i only want to have root-access to some apps. But unfortunately all or some tools state that they should only be used with the phone in original status, not modified. Some tools clearly state "Do not use if you already used HTCDEV unlock".
I would be really glad, if somebody out there would spend a few minutes in order to throw some light into my weekend
Use HTC Bootloader to lock the phone again. It should inform you once complete. Don't ever use it again.
Download Advanced Ace Hack Kit (AAHK) from the development section and CAREFULLY follow instructions. The AAHK will then root your phone and give you the ability to flash any ROM you want. It will also preserve your original ROM so iI suggest a backup.
You can use AAHK to go back to stock by flashing a stock RUU. Keep in mind that flashing a Froyo RUU to a Gingerbread shipped phone WILL result in you having major issues. Hope this helps a bit.
Enjoy
EDIT: I have just realized I have written this same exact thing at least 10 times so if you or anyone else comes back with the same issue, I will no longer be replying. Everything there is to know about root, radio s off and flashing custom ROM can be found right here by simply using search and gliding through forums.
I am NOT a babysitter. Do your own homework.

Hi all. Have not been to this site in a while.
I have an 8181 Desire (Australia - Telstra). Presently running CM7 and Runnymede ROM, with 4EXT recovery.
Before I go too far...yes, I know I should use SEARCH, but honestly I have forgotten so much about modding, I really have no idea what I'm doing anymore...
I want to return to stock and pass the phone on to a friend. I have so far installed Telstra RUU to my PC and I have run Alpharev downgrade. I have now moved to reboot and run the RUU, but I keep booting straight to Bootloader screen, not progressing to main screen. I know this means I have missed a step or forgotten something, but have nfi what that might have been.
I never really learned to flash with Fastboot, so am I able to avoid that and continue the way I am a little more familiar with?
Thanks heaps for any help. In the meantime I will continue to SEARCH and see what I can see. Cheers.
Use the troubleshooting guide stickied to the top of q&a
Search for and then run the 2.3.3 GB RUU
I've found the 2.3.3 GB Telstra RUU and renamed to PB99IMG.zip, placed on SD card. I see a blue progress bar and then "would you like to reboot now?" Each time I reboot, I am straight back to Bootloader screen (not stuck in bootloop, as such).
Working my way thru the TS Guide, but I'm pretty sure I have missed a step or forgotten something along the way... Wondering if phone won't boot properly because I am now running the Downgrade HBoot, which is obviously not compatible with Runnymede.
Am I able to uninstall 4EXT touch? Would like to simplify things as much as I can and would be happy with standard CWM for flashing purposes...
Will keep playing today. I know the phone isn't bricked, so I'm not panicking. Yet.
Try flashing the stock hboot, then RUU
Currently if only flashed the downgrade.img, it's just in a blank state with no actual hboot I believe.
(Make sure you're flashing these hboots thru fastboot, not recovery)

Dont rename the ruu to PB99IMG... It wont work as u found out. So.... On ur pc, run the ruu.exe file that u downloaded, then (if using windows) when it gets to the screen with pic of phone asking to axcept stuff, click start on ur computer, then in search box type "run" then click on run then in that search box type %temp% and search then find the first or second newest folder there will be a file there called rom.zip... Rename that to PB99IMG then put it on the root of ur sdcard and boot into bootloader

If u get stuck just google search "how to extract rom.zip from ruu xda" im sure ul get a few guides.
Well, as it happened, impatience got the better of me and I did find the rom.zip and placed onto SD. Update worked fine, but now stuck at Telstra splash screen.
I really do have to head out, but I'll check back again later on.
Would having the SD card partitioned to SD-Ext/FAT32 effect the operation??
Thanks again for the help, feeling like a real n00b here!
Partition won't affect it. RUU doesn't see or care about it
Have you flashed stock hboot yet? It should say alpharev stock in the top of the bootloader screen.
If that RUU won't work, find the 2.3.3 WWE GB RUU
I have --- AlphaRev --- at top of screen. Definitely have flashed stock HBoot.
Just flashing WWE RUU now. I notice in the tutes I've found I should be seeing
Parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1]Bootloader - OK
[2]Radio_V2 - OK
[3] Radio_Cust - OK
etc...
I have the "OK" on all points except the [1] Bootloader, which has "Bypassed" after it...
WWE RUU now flashed, rebooted and still stuck at splash. Trying to recall if I had flashed a custom Kernel to this phone, back when I was using/playing with it. Blah, too many variables! Should have returned to stock two years ago!!
Still stuck at splash...and speaking of splash, phone might need to take a dip my swimming pool, I think.........................

Not sure why it's skipping the bootloader part.
Custom kernel doesn't make a difference either. Everything except your sd card gets wiped when you run an RUU.
I had a read of the troubleshooting guide again, Part 8, it said to flash the downgrader, then RUU, sorry for my bad advice. Try that.
Else try runnnig the 2.3.3 RUU using PB99IMG.zip method in the same guide.
You should eventually be able to get it to boot. You don't have the RadioV2 fail which is a good thing

Well, I am now S-On, so progress is occurring... Also back to 0.75 HBoot.
Still booting straight to Fastboot though. For sh.ts and giggles, I just attempted to enter Recovery, but got the dreaded red triangle. All good, phone does still boot, just not in the way I want...
Anyhoo, still ticking away. Am relearning a heap of stuff. Maybe I could re-root and S-Off again, once I get this sorted??

You can't enter recovery because the custom recovery gets overwritten by RUU as well. Like I said, everything should go back to stock.
Try the 2.3.3. GB RUU (I assume you used the Telus one as you only have 0.75 hboot?), get it booting first before trying anything else.
The latest RUU should have 1.02 hboot, at which point you could s-off with revolutionary as it's only compatible with 0.93 or 1.02 hboot as far as I know..
My suggestion of trying to enter recovery, or re-rooting was just me playing silly buggers. I swear once this thing is sorted, I am never touching it again!!
So I just tried to re-flash the Telstra RUU and got message "Main Version is older! Update Fail!". Probably due to the 0.75 HBoot, I am guessing. Would like to find a copy of Telstra FroYo RUU and see if that works. If it does get things moving, I could then OTA update once full-boot has been achieved.
Still pretty sure I missed a step somewhere... I did full wipe before starting (cache/dalvic, system, data, SD-Ext), but not factory reset. As I said, am now back to S-On, but I assume I am still rooted, so starting to think I should go back, gain S-Off, CWM and start all over again.
You people must be about ready to reach thru your monitor and choke me! Lol!!

Still pretty sure I missed a step somewhere... I did full wipe before starting (cache/dalvic, system, data, SD-Ext), but not factory reset. As I said, am now back to S-On, but I assume I am still rooted, so starting to think I should go back, gain S-Off, CWM and start all over again.
You people must be about ready to reach thru your monitor and choke me! Lol!!

- Please use the 2.3.3 WWE RUU...
- Ignore anything and everything to do with Telstra...
- You are not rooted. You have run an RUU but it's not booting. This has overwritten everything, so your factory reset was unnecessary...

Yep, that's what I'm experiencing.
I have flashed RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704 from here previously, but still had the boot issues when I ran it.
Gave it another try just now, but now have message "Model ID incorrect! Update Fail!"
- That is not the 2.3.3 GB RUU, I think it's an ancient Eclair RUU, yes android 2.1....
- If you can't find the 2.3.3 GB RUU, at least try the Froyo RUU from that thread, version 2.29.405.5 I think. This should give you hboot 0.93 which revolutionary also works on.

Or do it the PB99IMG method

KA-CHING!!
I swear, if I could hit the THANKS button a million times, I would do so in a heart beat. Using mcclue's PB99IMG link, phone is now up and running like new!
But the thanks must also go eddiehk, for your patience and taking the time to check back each day to see how I am going. I swear I had no idea that RUU was Eclair/2.1... Just ASSUMED the updates were still relevant. Was getting close to just "Meh!" and tossing it in the trash.
So, going forward from here, is it worth me checking for OTA updates to bring the phone back completely to stock (Telstra) specs...or just leave it alone??
Anyway, again a million thanks to you guys for your help. Very much appreciated!! :good::good::good::good:

The 2.3 gb upgrade is the latest for this phone so just leave it as is. And if u want custom roms again, use revolutionary to s-off.
