Thank you very much!
seems like a simple process..but Im new to android phones.
Do you run this .exe on the phone? or connected to USB to PC. Not that I will be wanting to un-root anytime soon but it might be good to know down the line.. thanks..

.exe will always run from windows computer. android is linux based, no .exe file will run on the android phone.
for the RUU .exe follow the directions on your windows computer, it will guide you through the process, will need USB cable.

Is it possible to flash it from the phone, and not need a windows computer?
Re: Un-Root
Not with a exe. I'm not sure how the architecture is built for the phobe, but u don't see why flashing a ruu from SD wouldn't work if one were built that way.

All a Ruu is a wrapper. The Ruu just checkes a few things then executes scripts. its kinda just like an automatics ADB.
If you run the EXE is extracts a bunch of files including a ROM.zip. You could probably copy that to your phone and install it from there using the recovery firmware.
I'm trying to restore using this method. The phone is definitely recognize by the software, (it shows the current .1 image version) it jumps to the black HTC screen then sits at "waiting for bootloader" then times out with a ERROR 171 "cannot connect to your android phone" message. Any suggestions? If I run adb devices command the phone is recognized. Any suggestions?
Edit: It seems on the 4th try it worked. At least the updating percentage is moving up.
Why can't a basic rooted rom with recovery be created using this method. That would really be a "1 click" root.

i've seen it posted on here, if you take the rom.zip which comes inside the ruu .exe and put it on the root of the sdcard, rename it PC36IMG.zip and boot into the bootloader, vold down + pwr, it will flash the phone w/o needing a computer.
i haven't personally tested it, so use at your own risk.

When un-rooting, do you need to have the HTC drivers installed on your Windows machine? What mode (charge, disk mount, etc) does the EVO have to be in when you connect it via USB? Does HTC sync have to be installed or the Android SDK?

Phone should be fully charged. Really you just need enough juice to ensure it doesn't crap out during the flash process (could brick your phone).
I don't believe you need the HTC drivers, but every time I've run a ruu they were already installed on my machine, so I don't know.
Disk mount mode won't matter because the ruu will restart the phone before it has its way with it.
sync and sdk don't matter, the ruu is a self contained utility that issues adb commands to your phone.
Alternatively the ruu can be "run" by putting the proper file on the root of your sd card and powering your phone on with your volume down button pushed in.
To make the change back
I have done it 2x's and this worked both times. I tried to install the original Sprint Rom with the file provided here. Each time it stopped at the black HTC screen. All that needs to be done is to re-try the install of the original sprint Rom when it is at the black HTC screen. When the installation program says it can't complete and closes (wait for that to happen) just double click on the install program again (while you are at the black HTC screen (don't unplug from your computer)). When you try the install the second time at the black HTC screen, a green progres bar shows up on said screen and will show you the install progress. Hope this helps
Thanks guys! I was trying to mount the disk, then install HTC sync, etc. Leaving it on the black screen seemed to make the difference for whatever reason...

Hey there! Having trouble unrooting from latest xda root method. I run the RUU and keep getting error 170- usb connection error. Is the driver not installed. Stupid me, when it prompted to install the driver before, I hit 'never for this device'. Any reversal for this??? Thx in advance!
Hi,
I desperatly need someones help!
I downoaded this file -
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.0 0.32U
_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
I have created the Goldcard, but when i download the RUU rom and try to open it, it has said it is invalid!
THEN i downloaded it again and when i tried to install it, it then said - This file is not a valid WIN32 file...
I AM A NOOB! I seriously have no idea what to do from here, i already have the goldcard.
I am running an Orange branded htc desire, on software 1.15 and 2.1 update 1.
Also i am on windows vista Home premium with service pack 2
Can someone please help
Thank you
Did you download it from shippedroms.com site?? Did you follow the link posted here??
From what you say I think the filed did not download fully/properly. I faced the issue.
Just google the same rom name and see if you can download it from somewhere else. Or Start the download from shippedrom.com and keep watching the download window to see it it downloads fully.
so I downloaded the ruu then connected the desire and selected charge only on desire then I run the ruu utility . wait and it should work
Hello xda, in accordance with the signup video I have scoured the earth looking for an answer. However I'm not sure how much necro posting is frowned upon here so I thought it would be safer to just start a new thread.
I have an HTC Desire HD from Telus(for use on the Rogers network). I am in the process of rooting it but have encountered a problem. I can gain temporary root on the terminal emulator(Because the $ turns to #) however when attempting to run clockwork flash clockworkmod recovery I get the error "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"
I get the same error when attempting the "Fix Permissions" so I'm currently at a loss of what to do.
I have the ninja superuser icon in the apps menu however when I open it the screen is blank. I am unsure if this is how it is supposed to be or not. I have seen several references to a permission box that pops up during some of the steps but I haven't seen that at all.
I've tried four separate methods, the last of which coming from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954997
I am currently at step B.d which involves running the S-OFF tool and Easy Radio OFF tool. But still clockwork will not flash a backup, and when I restart the phone I can not get super user to work on the terminal (ie by typing su) and must use the rage method to regain temporary root.
Also, I don't know if this is related or not, but when I restart the phone and attempt to boot in recovery mode, the volume buttons don't allow me to select other options, and instead the phone just forces me to reboot normally.
Some more facts:
model HTC Desire HD A9191
Build # 1.32.405.6
Android 2.2
Anymore info I'm probably forgetting just ask away!
So my question is: Can anyone identify what the issue is?
Thanks much for taking the time to read my question.
Does visionary not work for you?
I've seen that alot of success has been gained by doing temp root and perm root through it?
It does sound like the rage method might not be working for you from what I can tell..
I do want to check all the steps you followed before where fine?

Visionary was how I rooted mine. Worth a try if you havent tried it: http://android.modaco.com/content/software/320350/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/
Thanks for the visionary suggestion, but Visionary still isn't working :/
Has visionary been tested with the Telus Desire? I heard there was a difference. What happens when I attempt to temproot is it moves to a blank screen then goes back to the menu.
When I used visionary on 1.32 it did not always work first try ... generally always worked after 2 runs. then used it to perm root
It works. You do not have Telus software in your phone anymore.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
Try my method (I made it because the methods I found for my Telus desire HD were flaky at best and only got temproots from it.)
Since you already flashed to 1.32 start at step 2
If you want to go gingerbread, dl the 2.36.405 ruu and use that and your pc to put 2.3.3 on it (dont worry, it works fine, i was using it since it came out and built a rom based off that, kingdom, and pyramid roms for my own sense 3 rom) and use the gingerbreak method.

Disable your Antivirus (Avast say's its malicious), Norton or F-Prot says its clean.
and Internet Explorer 9 says its not trustworthy (because there's .bat files in the zip), Firefox says its fine.
There is no malicious code in the zip, you can edit each individual batch file in the Resource folder to see the code. Its very simple and basic.
I disabled my antivirus, but when I run Install Visionary nothing happens. The CMD window opens and says it has been succesfuly installed but nothing has been installed, and nothing appeared in the app menu.
Edit: I went into the resource folder and then followed the steps from there and everything worked, except I still don't have the # symbol in terminal (even when entering "su") and ROM manager still gives me the same error.

go into the resource folder, edit the visionary install batch in notepad, delete the "cls" line, save and exit
rerun it with the phone attached. See if it truly installed successfully.

you dont need to use the termial in my method.
Once visionary is installed, and you run it, and everything is done exactly whats described in my 9 easy steps thread (along with outcomes along the way), then you should be perm rooted, with s-off and eng-off with supercid.
I managed to install visionary with your method, however when running Eng-S I encountered the error "Bootloader corrupt, DO NOT REBOOT! Seek help from XDA!"
Help?
Edit: Followed the advice here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14936635 and s-off worked properly this time. Hopefully my DHD won't brick on reboot. Could super user be the problem? it never asks me for permissions or anything, all I have is an icon and a blank screen when i open the app.
Edit2: Rom manager took three attempts to install correctly. Still the same result "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"

looks like the superuser application isnt running properly.
I would use the 1.32 ruu (not the pd98img.zip off the sd) and then from a fresh install (without resoring any data other than google account to visit the market)
run through the visionary, s-off tool, eng-off tool, and then reboot again, then install rom manager from the market, run it, it should ask you for permission and may hang for a second, and then say you have about 5 seconds to allow root permissions.
Then install rom's away. if you're not into making seperate rom specific app folders on your sd card, google JSL Er3BuS. its a sense 3 rom without the extra scripts.
How do I install the 1.32 RUU if I can't install it from the SD card?
Thanks!

It is very easy mate,
1. Download the RUU of your choice from http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
2. Put your phone in charge mode only with USB debug on.
3. Make sure you have HTC Sync installed on your PC, and close HTC Sync application from your system bar in windows (make sure that HTC Sync is not running as all you need is the driver)
4. Right click on the RUU file and select "Run as Administrator"
5. Connect your DHD by the USB cable to your PC.
6. Click some boxed and "next"s.
7. Waiting!
8. Profit!
I tried following the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890
But got the error "ERROR [120]: Low MAIN BATTERY POWER. When the battery is above 30%.
This is getting ridiculous lol

Tried this, now the update process has taken 45 minutes.
Well, it took 5 hours to finish, but finish it finally did. Rom manager installed no problem, flashed no problem and I am in the process of installing cryogen. Thanks everyone for their help and kind words.
Fingers crossed cryogen works.
I'm going away for the weekend, but when I come back I'll update this thread with the full details of what went down so hopefully someone will be helped by my many many hours spent raging.

Hello,
I'm new to the forums, and have only just recently got a HTC Wildfire A3333 running 2.2.1.
I have tried to use " [GUIDE] Downgrade to HTC Froyo WWE for AlphaRevX (HBOOT 1.01.0001) " to downgrade the h boot as to start to gain root.
But when I have followed the instructions, it appears to complete ok, but when I reboot in to the system menu, it still shows as .002 hboot and does not install the rom supplied.
any help would be great
EDIT: IT TOLD ME I HAD SUCCESSFULLY CREATED GOLD CARD
GlennBrownie
same goes with me mate, i got the gold card and then i insert it, it all goes but when the cmd closes it still shows hboot 1.01.002
This happened to me on a Telstra wildfire (A3335). if you make it so the CMD window doesn’t close (I used an alternative shell) you will see that it actually gets some error before closing, which is why it doesn’t actually change the hboot.
I must have done it 20 times before I got it to work. I can't remember what I did differently the time I made it work, but it was something to do with which usb mode the phone was in for each step, and when I decided to change it from one mode to the other. Basically trying to make it so the phone wouldn’t say “preparing SD card” after I had made the goldcard.
Worst part was when I finally downgraded my Hboot, alphrev X still wouldn’t work for me. Continued to get the error of “Retrieving Caroline from certain doom...” and "mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00000000" I've since given up..
okays, thanks for the help, ill try that, but with alpharevx the problem they are tring to fix is the part where you need to restart into fastboot the second time, so in this case, ill give that a try. the thing is that im useing windows 7 enterprise, i have the hboot drivers all installed and etc, i used the intructions given to me and everyone else where you have to make the gold card. in that intruction it stated to put the sd card into the usb or sd port, the thing i did was switch my phone to mount the SD card and create it via there, i think the part where we all went wrong is unmounted it after we finished making the sd card. so try that, and with your problem i tghink you need to try and run the program in ADMIN mode (right click and run as admin) and then try and get the HBOOT drivers from Unrevoked installed. give that a try and hope it all works out
cheers

my question is, when i run alpharevx, it asks me for the beta key, note that it doesnt show my device name or anything like how i did it before i downgraded, any ideas why? and does anyone have a beta key for me to use? because the one i got with my phone when i entered it in said it was incorrect, when before before i downgraded it worked perfectly fine (except the rotting part).
what Beta key, I dont recall one?
To get a new beta key just follow this link, click download and then enter your phone's SN.

If it doesn’t show your device properly just reboot your phone. Basically every time the program fails it won’t show your device properly until you reboot again (This will also fix the issue where it thinks you have the wrong beta key). People suggesting to go get a new beta key have no idea. Have they not noticed that it doesn’t matter which HBoot version you select on the site you still get the same key based on your serial number.
yes, i used mt wildfire SN and i use the code it gives me still getting the same problem,

done it twice and it still come up with success message?
even did it through hex editor....
I tried to do it again to show screenshots.
firstly, I ran step one and it says "cannot stat" followed by file name and says "no such file or directory". see image1.jpg
I then checked the buzzdowngrade folder, and all files are there. see image4.jpg
I then attempted the goldcard, and I clicked get cid, and it loaded a CID with a lot of 0's in it so I dont think its showing correct CID, possibly hiding real CID?
image2.jpg
when I clicked patch MMC, it came up with an error message. see image3.jpg
Have you installed the HTC driver 3.0.0.007. If not, install it first before even going with step1.
And regarding step2, creating a working gold card is important. If you still get custom id errors, try with a different memory card. And run the gold card tool as administrator. And in that you will see mmc0 and mmc1 options. Try creating with the other if one fails.

Just downgraded and i think i know what is the problem.
You have to change the connection status from charge only to Mass storage
then click refresh and the memory card will be available.
HTC MMC : select you sd card.
And now patch.
right, got an update.
managed to succeed with the dmisc.img and others that failed - thanks to Mattyyey, cheers Matt
We then got to flashing the rom and it failed, any suggestions?
we recreated the gold card and formated the microSD card and patched and it told us that it had succeeded.

its probably your fake SD card! I was able to run the commands in step 1 and 2 from the cmd, all but the final ROM flash. I think after we create it we should confirm its been put on the SD card via hex workshop.... I did think of this last night but I was getting tired and you dont have it installed. I suspect its just the goldcard isn't done, everything else works when typed manually into cmd.
Unless anyone else has another reason for the custom ID check failing?
MATTYYEY was correct, it was due to fake microSD card, completed gold card with authentic SD card and it worked.

Uninstall HTC sync manager but leave the drivers if you have it installed. And see if you can flash the same RUU via the zip and SD card method. Much easier! RUU.exe files are sh!t

The zip doesn't work from the SD card, even after having successfully and completely updated. 2 out of the 3 PCs I had tried the RUU.exe on, the same thing happened as with the OP - the RUU ran the extraction and then just closed.

Of course I'm assuming, but it's a safe assumption. Likely the recent Oreo RUU.exe that is either unofficial or at minimum, early. Even if it were another RUU, this method is general too - so good knowledge to have.
Edit: fixed my link in my previous post.
Sorry, the exe for us unlocked oreo RUU, I figured it out it didn't have a visual c++ 2008 x86(not 64) for whatever reason it just force closes rather than informing you to download the dependencies.
I'm not able to use it though because of the signature error, somehow my version is now 2.51.617.21, I can only find that version for the Verizon variant which is what I think is screwing it up?
I had the same problem; installing VC redist 2008 sp1 enabled the RUU to run
Chatter in other threads suggests that this is a beta RUU and won't install onto S-ON devices since the RUU requires flashing its extracted firmware manually first, which requires S-OFF due to lack of htc signatures required for S-ON devices.
Fortunately, the "erasing user data" before halting due to signature error didn't seem to actually erase anything.
Decrypting and flashing the 2PS6IMG.zip via download mode fails also.
For anyone who didn't get the RUU before it was pulled, and even though it's not likely to be official if you still want it, here's everything you need to update in one place as long as you're either U.S. Unlocked with S-OFF or have changed your MID and CID.
