Hi,
I decided to upgrade to 2.3 today. But I had to do it manually because I did not receive update automatically, did software check too.
1st attempt:
Downloaded RUU.exe but I kept getting costumer identity error code 131 while it goes through signatures.
I've done gold-card method but no luck.
2nd attempt:
Downloaded zip file for 2.3 and tried bootloader method but I kept getting;
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
-- Invalid operation. --
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and bootloader skips.
--------
After I did some search I saw that I may need root to flash roms (although its official rom)
So
If I downgrade to 1.32 will the RUU I downloaded be enough to upgrade to 2.3 succesfully?
My RUU is
RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8_R_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_187331_signed.exe

Thanks for helping, deep apologies if similiar thread exists,

Hello,
I have a Desire with 2.31.184.3 version in Turkey but i dont have market application. I want to instal wwe rom without root (because of warranty) for market, but it fails..
I tried 3 way for installing.(First of all i made a gold card...)
1)RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
when i try to setup, it fails and gives an error massage (Error [140] Bootloader etc). Than i tried with opening bootscreen ("Vol down"+"power") than click .exe file, it gave the same error ([140])
2)PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip
I changed its name into PB99IMG.zip then copied into SD card than shut down my desire and opened with bootscreen ("Vol down"+"power"). It tried to instal PB99IMG.zip but it fails. There was an error message which is "Main version is older!"
3 and the last) PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip
I changed its name into update.zip. I went in bootscreen and press recovery. when phone reset i saw a /!\ massage than i pressed "Vol up"+"Power* than opened recovery screen. Than i selected "Apply sdcard:update.zip", it gave one more fail
-- Install from sd card...
Finding update package...
Opening updade package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I cant solve my problem help me please i want to install any android 2.2 WWE rom for market.
I have no idea about your problem but i was thinking of you for not rooting my desire for warranty, today i changed my mind and i rooted my device because of market and slowness. you are right vodafone stock rom sucks slow, no market, annoying if u change ur mind try oxygen gingerbread rom and applanet is working now maybe u don't need to root ur device.i'm from turkey also
Aren't there any solution?
You need a gold card to flash a ROM different to your version

i have gold card.. when try without gold card it gives error [131].
OK...you're on 2.31.184.3, which is for your operator (Vodafone Turkey). To flash any other version, in this case the generic 2.29.405.5 WWE version, you need a gold card.
However, as you're on a newer version than 2.29.405.5 you're probably going to need to downgrade first. Follow this guide to go back to 1.21.405.2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
Once done, you can then flash the 2.29.405.5 RUU over it (with your gold card, of course) and you should then be on 2.29.405.5.
Bare in mind you probably won't be able to update OTA going by the last update
Thanks for this guide but it needs root. if i root my phone, its warranty will be gone. so i need a solution without root. (if there is)
Thanks a lot i read wrong it doesnt need root. im going to try it=)
There isn't one, unless the RUU for your current version turns up
Thank you a lot!! it worked=)

Probably following what I've already advised
Hello all,
I am sorry for starting yet another failed RUU thread but I am struggling to find any solution on this. I am relatively capable having rooted, s-off, updated radios etc on my Desire HD. This one is above my level though...
I have tried to root the Desire using Unrevoked 3.32 but it kept failing. I decided to try a 'simple' RUU flash - no worries there, I thought. I cannot remember the original software or baseband numbers now. I have feeling that the radio was not identical on the RUU, as I could not find one on 'shipped roms' but I got one as close as possible (for O2 UK - there is a choice of two. One has radio 5.09.05.30 and one is 4.06.00.02. I went for the 5.* as the one I had was also 5.* but I think it may have been slightly different). The RUU got nearly to the end of the system section (90%) when it failed and gave an Error 110 (possibly corrupted data in the RUU).
Now when I reboot, I get a grey HTC in the centre with a /!\ in each corner. I was worried it was bricked, however, I can fastboot into the OS and use the phone normally. It just won't restart properly as it then goes back to the grey HTC /!\ situation. That seems to me that everything is working ok, I just have a software conflict somewhere... would that be a correct assumption? Either way, I am stumped as to what to do next, so advice would be really appreciated!!
(As it's my girlfriends phone, I could be in trouble here!! )
Thanks!!
Ok boot your phone and create a goldcard.
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
If you have trouble setting ADB... Goto market and search for app called goldcard helper... it will give you the reverse CID and you can follow from step 7 from above guide.
After creating a goldcard.. flash below RUU
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
The exact same thing happened to me when I decided to go back to stock a couple weeks ago. I just re downloaded the RUU from shipped roms and tried again and it was fine. I had to manually download and install the new market though once I'd set up as it wouldn't update itself
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Latest o2 UK RUU is this one (better link than shipped-roms):
http://www.multiupload.com/7YMY6RLCKY
Thanks for the quick replies guys!
jhonybravo4u - I'll try out some new RUU files before I give the GoldCard option a go. If I need to go that way, I'll let you know how I get on.
liberator72 - I did try redownloading once. The error does say that the RUU may be corrupted so that is a possibility. I'll try a few more times.

Cheers EddyOS. Hopefully they will be more stable hosts and I'll get a better download. I'll keep you posted!
Ok, downloaded from Rapidshare and got the same message...
ERROR [110]: FILE OPEN ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot open the requested files or the files are damaged. The RUU cannot continue with the update.
Please get a complete package and try again.

I'm going to try yet another download - the 4th attempt - so I may need to look for other solutions soon.
Ok, I have...erm... progress? I just tried the same RUU file straight away and now I get:
ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update and try again.

The phone has gone to the RUU HBOOT page this time and shows that it failed on the:
[7] SYSTEM - Fail-PU
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then tells me that 'Partition Update fail!'
The RUU program then gives me an option to go into recovery mode. I can go through this but unfortunately it seems to be a dead end.
Any suggestions?
Edit: Oh dear.... now the 'fastboot oem boot' just sits in the command prompt saying <waiting for device>.
This looks ominous....
Edit (2): The 'fastboot oem boot' has just worked again... Thank goodness!!

When you download the above RUU .. please check the MD5 Hash
Should be
14d740a8ec68bd8cc830ff7c0905df72
And I suggest to create goldcard before doing anything.. as that will get you out of any trouble.
As it seems your phone is branded.. and you wont be able to flash any other RUU
Thanks jhonybravo4u, I am just going via your proposed method. GoldCard is created and I am just flashing - or trying to - the RUU that you suggest.
Edit:
johnybravo4u, Sir, you are a legend! I'm in and recovered. Thank goodness!! If ever I pass Kuwait, I shall buy you a beer...
Now, to finish the rooting process...
Anytime Buddy....and for beer I may have to come to UK rather.. as in Kuwait thats not allowed ;-)

I've been trying to update my HOX using the RUU but I keep getting error 170, I've got the latest WORKING USB drivers install(4.0.0.009 doesn't install) but for some reason I'm continuously getting the error, can someone tell me which USB connection type to use and what other settings I should apply and what should be disabled
Thanks
Edit: I've solved my first error but now I'm getting Error 159 which states that I'm using the wrong ROM Image to update my phone, but I'm not because my current firmware version is 2.17.401.2 and the RUU updates to 3.14.401.27, any help would be appereciated

hi ,
you need to update your hboot to vers 1.36
read this thread.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604&page=268
you can read ClydeB1 instructions etc .post 2671 and next post 2672..etc etc
i also tried with only the RUU but failed,also said wrong ROM , after reading up on above thread and following advise given !!!
i download the hboot firmware zip file ( link given in thread by ClydeB1( few pages back ) and flashed it to upgrade hboot and then ran Ruu .straight afterwards ,(all done from pc using" commands
,as given in relevant thread,)
plse note....As i understood it you can't flash upgraded hboot and boot into ics and then try to flash Ruu ,it wont work.!(While in fastboot on phone you run Ruu straight afterwards .)
The firmware zip for hboot update, is placed in adb folder on pc and flashed with easy commands (copy and paste if you want to..!!)
...you just have to put phone debug mode ,and in fastboot (power and vol down )and usb connect to pc.
it took me about 20 min ? i am on 4.1 now !
smooth and no problems ..but you have to read up and understand,then whole process is very, very easy.. and quick!!
(my phone is not rooted or unlocked )
good luck
Would I need an Unlocked bootloader or need to be rooted to use this method or can my phone be completely stock and untouched?
Edit: Also where could I get hboot 1.36
Edit: I figured it out, thanks a lot for the help

I was having this exact problem when I was trying to flash the RUU last night, will try this method tonight. Thanks willcor for pointing out the step by step process.
every time i try to update the ROM so i can root my DHD it returns the error 191.
I have used the Ace hack kit and the easy boot unlock tools aswell as downloading the RUU from HTC Dev website but i have no idea how to fix it.
Error 191 Says my ROM is not supported at the moment and an update will be released shortly...
Im running Android 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 software number 3.12.405.1 CL199157
When running the tools to update software/rom to 3.13.000 it keeps retuning error 191
Thanks for your help.

You should extract the rom.zip file from the RUU file and renamed PB98IMG.Zip, written on 2G or 4G memory card (FAT32 format) and installed in memory card. CID should be considered carefully before rom okay!

Hi, thanks for a reply. but can you explain this in more detail I'm a kind of new.
Which directory is the ROM.zip file in? \local\temp while RUU is running?
PB or PG? typo?
Can i use my current SD card, not sure what format it is but its running in the phone at the moment?
why should I consider CID? do you mean check the ROM I'm about to flash is the right one?
Once its one the memory card how do I install it?
Many thanks.
After Googling PB98IMG.Zip it came up with threads talking about upgrading the radio...???? And possibilities of bricking the phone?
Bump??

If your device is S-ON you won't be able to flash a RUU unless it is for your device. It doesn't matter how you are doing it, it won't work you if you don't use a goldcard.

Yes my device is S-ON, the RUU says its for my phone but it comes up with an error saying ROM is not supported. I am trying to make a goldcard but i cant get the img file since http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard is not running. I did contact Gene Pool for him to generate me one, I'm waiting for a reply.
