Hi all,
Been searching and looking for ages and I can't find a stock RUU for my Desire (Virgin Mobile UK) - I know on startup it says "T-Mobile" on the lockscreen and Virgin share the T-Mobile network, so I wonder whether it's the same.
I've rooted and s-off'ed and I'm about to flash a custom ROM but want to have a backup ready if I ever want to go back to stock again. If anyone knows where I can find such a thing it'd be greatly appreciated! (I've looked at the website (Shipped Roms) everyone links to with the RUU's on, none match my software version - below)
Build number - 2.22.351.3 CL283825 release-keys
Thanks in advance!
Smii
Edit: Won't let me post because of a hyperlink and because I'm new...funny thing is, no hyperlink?! I've got the full info if it's needed.
Forgot to add, Baseband version is 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14
I've been looking on Shipped Roms and the only one is:
RUU_Bravo_Virgin_Mobile_1.23.351.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_128941_signed.exe
or from the thread in the development folder, which is the same.
Would that one be okay with my Baseband and Software versions? My numbers are very different!
Edit:
Clockwork mod backups - if I flash a new ROM or a new RUU on, would I be able to go back to the state (entirely) as the CWM backup? I'm not 100% certain what it actually backs up, so if you can enlighten me as to that...!

New rom - yes.
RUU - no. Because flashing ruu sets phone back to complete stock, so you do not have cwm recovery any more.
Brilliant, so basically if I flash a new ROM - say for arguments sake, something like Oxygen, I can return to "stock" (albeit Rooted and S-off'd) HTC Sense as it came with (as I have backups for that) - is that right? (I guess what I'm asking is - so long as I don't flash an RUU, with CWM any change I make is reversible?)
Any clues as to whether the RUUs I mentioned are appropriate?

Yes you are right.
The RUUs you mention appropriate to past phone versions.
Sorry for asking daft questions...!
So if you say they're appropriate to past phone versions does that mean they're not for me?
Or would flashing one of those be okay? :-S I want to get it right, you see... ;-)

It means, they are not for you. You are phone is too new for them.
So short of hanging on to my nandroid backup and using that if I ever want to revert to stock, is there any way I can extract my own RUU from my phone, or anywhere else I can one from?
To be honest I spoke to HTC and they said they were okay with me rooting my phone and flashing custom roms so the warranty isn't invalidated if I ever did have to send it back. I just want to be able to reset it to stock if I have to! (In case I want to sell it in the future, for example)

Hi all, would like to know if, after installing a custom ROM, if i use a RUU will the recovery image be restored to default?
Thanks in advance!
Yes it Will
Yay! thank you! so just using the RUUs i will totally reset my desire, so HTC won't be able to tell if it's been rooted before?
Don't know whether they can't tell, whether they look if they've no need to I don't know...so long as it's on a stock ROM I don't think they'd check

What is a RUU and how can I do it, as I'm having the same problem.
I rooted to allow Titanium Backup to have root after using unrevoked but wasn’t aware that meant I also had a custom rom installed now.
I’ve been told I need to RUU as well.
RUU = ROM Upgrade Utility
It's the official way of flashing a ROM. Each phone has a software version running on it when you first get it and you should make a note of the one on yours before doing anything root-related for the very reason that if something goes wrong you can revert back to stock. Not all versions are available, e.g. there are no Orange RUUs about, but the ones that are can be found here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
If you didn't happen to make a note of yours then it's hard to say what it came with. If you've only rooted and NOT flashed a new ROM yet then if you go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post the software version we might be able to help
Thanks for all the information it helps fill in some blanks.
I dont think I have put a different rom on it, I only rooted using revoked- does that mean it has a different rom now?
and my settings show
Android 2.2
Baseband version 32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2
Kernel version 2.6.32.15-gd96f2c0 [email protected] #1
Build number 2.12.110.2 CL232610 release-keys
Software number 2.12.110.2
on a side note the link you posted - what do the numbers correspond to, my Kernel or build
Right you're on a T-Mobile FroYo ROM but the issue is there isn't that versions RUU available...how long have you had your Desire?
Damm.
I got mine in April this year, why do you ask.
Can I not use RUU_Bravo_Froyo_TMO_AT_2.12.112.1_Radio_32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2_release_143754_signed.exe?
You CAN use that but it's the Austrian one...the reason I ask is to find out the screen type, you should be on an AMOLED screen so you can flash the older 1.21.110.4 RUU if you need to - you'll need a gold card to do it, though, I believe
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe
If I do flash the older 1.21.110.4 version, are there any drawbacks, or will I just be able to update through OTA updates that will then be available to me through T-mobile to get me back to normal?
Also is there a best way to do this RUU as I have seen a few guides, can you recommend any to follow.
The way I'd do it is:
1. Download that RUU
2. Have gold card in your phone and HTC Sync installed on your PC
3. Connect phone to PC and select 'HTC Sync' from the options on the phone
4. Once HTC Sync on the PC shows connected, run the RUU
5. All being correct it'll flash the ROM
6. Assuming it's worked, you should get the OTA updates again as you did before
Replying on here and androidforums is getting confusing!!!
Thanks for all the help and I hope those instructions were meant for me and not some one else
Maybe you have to downgrade your hboot to 0.75.

Yes they're for you but there's someone on androidforums with EXACTLY the same issue - you sure you're not the same person??
Nope thats not me
I followed all the procedures. But the RUU gave me an error after a few minutes saying 'Error 140 Bootloader version error'.
What does that mean and how can I fix it.
Which RUU are you trying to use? And which HBOOT are you on now?
Im trying to use the one you recommended above RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe
Bootloader version I found out by holding the back key and power button to swithc on, it says HBOOT - 0.93.0001

radios wont be a problem as they are updated with every official update.. and i couldnt find any tmobile splash screen.. but i make many but i dont have the rite pic to make any splash
I have a brand new T mobile branded DHD. I've only rooted, S OFF, ENG S OFF and SimUnocked it. tell me how to do a stock radio and i can help
thanks for your replies, i was hoping not to use the OTA as i will have to downgrade again. If you know if the OTA will also replace my splash screen with the original then i may do it.
@Rangnarok - could you tell me what the software version and baseband version are in setting>about phone.,I dont think you can extract a radio from the phone. Im not sure how you would extract the splash also. I know there are tools to flash them, but im not back home until tomorrow so i will have a look and if i can find a safe easy way i will PM you... thanks
Ok, to make sure I have what you need, I confirm again that, the Phone is new. I only Rooted. S-OFF and ENG S-OFF. It has a T-mobile splash screen, CID is TMOB005 at the moment.

I have made a back-up ROm, using ClockWorkMod, so I am not sure if this is what you are looking for?
I am researching to flashing a custom ROM on it. So hopefully I can help you before doing so
many thanks for the information, it was exactly what i was looking for, i have a backup of the stock rom that came with my phone, it just that it doesnt contain the radio, now i know the one it shipped with i can download it.
will get back to you on the splash screen, flashing a custom rom does not change this so have fun flashing.
I would reccomend trying the cyanogenMod 7 Rom, it has great customizable features, and once you get used to not having sense there will be no going back. The only thing i would look out for is i have noticed that GPS can be hit and miss with different roms, if you use it alot like i do then try using it before you spend too much time with one rom.
cheers
I have had a look inside the backup folder. It has
boot.img
system.img
etc
but nothing that indicates a radio back up. Is this already included in some file in the folder?
radio is not backed up. But there is a thread in dev that has a link to download different radio versions, i just wasnt sure which one came with a stock T-mobile phone.
There is a T-Mobile DE RUU available, you can download that, and get rom.zip from it. Then you can find splash1.img inside the rom.zip. I am pretty sure that T-Mobile DE's and UK's splashes are similar.
thanks for that jkoljo. I should have thought that i could get it from any t-mobile rom as long as the res is the same.
Been meaning to ask you, you quote "It will create a backup of your phone partition 7 (radio config) to the root of your sdcard, I recommend to keep that somewhere really safe!" from your radio tool thread. Does this mean the whole original radio is backed up and i can restore it from that?
Nope, it is not the radio, just radio configuration partition. The radio configuration has lots of important system values in it. Radio reads values from that config partition, and then acts accordingly. Radio is an important part of the system, and it does more than you could imagine

Hello everybody!
I am relatively new One X owner and my previous handset was the famous HD2, so I used to be quite familiar with all the tweaks and mods. But now I have apparently stepped into a whole new world with a lot more complicated rules. There's talk about cid-numbers, nandroid backup, s-on/s-off, how you can't downgrade, etc. I tried to use the search, but I would like comprehensive answers to all my questions.
First thing first, what's a cid-number? I've read it has something to do with regions and operators, but how does this affect the device? Is this some kind hardware change or just software related? Is there even "international" versions available? Since I am ex HD2 user, the only difference between that device was the T-Mobile and international variat. Now it seems, there's a lot more different handsets available.
How does the cid-number affect the phone? Does these custom roms require specific cid-numbers? Can they be changed at all? What I've learned, my device cid-number is HTC__Y13. Does this mean something? And does it mean I can install for example the ARHD's newest Jelly Bean?
Talking about Jelly Bean, there has been talked about not being able to revert back to ICS? Why? Is actual physical changes made with the device, so it can't be downgraded? I never read people having such problems with the HD2. You could always revert back to older custom, or stock rom, if you wished to do so.
Then there's s-on and s-off. What does this mean exactly and how does it affect my device? I've already unlocked my bootloader, installed the custom boot and custom rom? Am I still somehow locked? I didn't even realize this has something meaningfull purpose.
I've probably already made my first mistake by not creating a nandroid backup. To clarify, I recently changed my stock rom to ARHD 9.7.0 and followed all the noobie instructions, but didn't realize that nandroid backup was somehow essential. Does this mean that I'm screwed somehow or is there a way to fully revert back to stock? Back in the HD2 era, you could have just downloaded the official stock rom and get your device back to stock. So what I'm asking, can I completely revert back to stock if I want for example send the device for repair?
And finally about the official updates. I've read a lot about not being able to update your rom, without reverting back to stock. Is this true and why would people want to do that? Doesn't the new custom roms include all the new improvements and upgrades? Why would people want to install custom rom, then revert back to stock to get the latest updates and then go back to custom? Maybe I've missed something?
Maybe these questions have been aswered a thousand times, in which case I would greatly appreciate, if somebody could point me to the right direction. If not, I would also appreciate, if you could answer any of my questions. It's not funny being in the dark.

hello, so: cid is region/operator number, for europe is htc__01 for example, and you can't change it while we don't have s-off, it's just a number that says to the ruu if it's the right version of phone or not, cid 11111111 is called supercid, and permit you to install every ruu in this world for this phone, but still we can't have it until we achieved s-off.
s-on/s-off are security on/security off, and except for few test devices, everybody have s-on when they buy a phone, and developers and hackers have to find a way to modify it to s-off, which will permit us to flash different hboot version, and downgrade, and change boot animations (the first one, not the second with animation, it's already moddable).
to return back to stock rom you have to relock your bootloader with fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
and then download ruu version for your phone from here: http://htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor
but you should download one with newer/the same hboot version and with your cidnum
to see hboot version just enter in bootloader and look to it there, for cidnum write this on cmd:
Code:
fastboot oem getvar cid
then enter in bootloader and launch .exe you downloaded and follow instructions, in some minutes you'll have completely stock rom! (but still no warranty, because you unlocked your bootloader, and when you relock it, it'll be written RELOCKED, instead of LOCKED when it's new).
flash jelly bean with new sense it's a risk now because it will flash also new hboot, that won't permit you to install previous rom or ruu, so you'll stay on jelly bean until somebody will do rom for this hboot! so i suggest you to wait some weeks and it will be official and more stable and better.
good luck in this new world
Thanks a lot! I guess there's different opinions about the warranty, because I have read that people have been able to fix their devices (under warranty), even after unlocked bootloader, if the device was returned to factory condition prior the repair. So warranty won't be voided completely and all the hardware issues are covered.
I've used app called "Cid Getter" and it gives me this line: [CID is:]: [HTC__Y13]. Is this my cid-number? If so, what is the right stock ruu for me?
HBOOT-1.12.0000 <------ I guess this is my hboot version?
In theory can the device be hacked , so the bootloader would say LOCKED, even if you unlocked it before? Or is this totally impossible?

y13 i think that it's europe, try to download normal europe no brand version, if you'll have problems try another one,
yes, 1.12.0000 is your hboot version, and it's not the newest so you can download the last ruu without problems
no it can't, but even if it would be possible, it'll be pointless because you gave a number to htc, and they know your imei adress, so even with LOCKED, they'll know... in some countries they don't make problem about, if it's a hardware fault, in others you'll have problem, i don't know just ask htc in your country if you'll need it
Yes I have the European version, since I live in Finland and it is part of Europe and the European Union. Here we don't have branded phones so I guess that doesn't cause any problems. Also the phone was not sim-locked. Could you post me a link to a correct RUU? Does the radio version matter somehow?
What comes to the warranty, I probably will have to see that if it comes to it. Hopefully there's no reason to send the device for repair.
And if I understood correctly, I shouldn't upgrade to ARHD Jelly Bean, because it's going to cause some troubles, if I want to revert back to stock?

what radio do you have? i don't know what's the difference, but i think there is a difference between mid-europa and north europa, so maybe there is something different.
about arhd jb you'll NOT BE ABLE to revert back to ics, so no ruu, neither other rom from xda, because they are done for other hboot as i know, so if you'll install it, you'll have it until someone will do something for this hboot
The radio version is 2.1204.135.20. I'm not sure, but I don't think there being a difference between Northern-European and Middle-European devices, at least what comes to the radio version.
So I guess I should stick with the current ICS ARHD 9.7.0 build for now... Thank you for your great help! :good:

CID isn't the only way to find out the RUU for your phone. If you'd done the right thing and checked your software build before rooting to make sure there is an RUU for your phone then you'd know which RUU is for you. For example:
If you were running 1.29.401.11 then RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed.exe would be the one for you

Hi,
Having gone into hboot for the first time i notice that both radio and OpenDSP have "INVALID-VER-INFO" beside them.
Is this correct on an unmodified phone.
I've done a quick search but couldnt find anything.
I have hboot version 3.16.0.000
I have this also,
I'm using a stock htc one m8 from Vodafone.

Any updates on this topic? I just bought this phone and been using it for about 2 weeks. I went into the HBOOT to see what differences there were from my previous phone and noticed the invalid version on the radio and opendsp. Again, completely stock unmodified phone.
That is the TWRP recovery bug..are u all install the twrp recovery or not?

I just went into recovery for the first time on my new m8 stock and unmodified. I see the same thing. I'm in T-Mobile
Same thing here. Happened after 4.4.3 update. Stock international M8. I wonder if it has anything to do with the battery drain introduced with the update - I barely get 12 hours of usage hence, instead of 18.

hi guys,
first off, thanks to everyone contributing to this forum, I've been able to find some truly useful help in here
Has anyone found a solution to this thread? My m8 has just changed for no apparent reason to "invalid-ver-info". I don't know how important the RADIO AND OpenDSP info is when it comes to un/re-rooting.
As it happens, I did take a photo of this info the day before it happened with my M7 ..will that be of any use to me?
Also, what information from the boot or software info, should NOT be shown on the internet E.G due to privacy/security reasons.
Thanks
TW

you can post fastboot getvar all (minus your Serial no. and IMEI)
nothing on the bootloader is secret
as said above. You need to provide more information to solve your issue.
ok, well here's what I have for you..if you need anything else, please tell me(see attached).
I was thinking about setting this back to stock rom, but I can't seem to find in here...do I have any possibilities?
thanks

Does the phone work ? do you have stock recovery ? Have you do a normal factory reset ?
yes the phone works but not the top speaker(for what ever reason) Hence I want to send it in for repair(if possible, still 18 months guaranty).
I don't believe I have a stock recovery(I'm too new to this game to really know), there is a twrp backup, but whether it's the original or not(I doubt it) because nothing changed as far as the boot or software/firmware version is concerned when I executed the recovery(only the basic content) and the date of the backup is just one week prior to when I purchased it!?!? which makes me believe that the original was overwritten.
no I haven't, the reset was apparently done by the seller.

Well if you have TWRP you can try a format data, But this will completely wipe the phone all your data and the system will be gone.
you would then flash a stock Rom back to the phone from the ext_sd card
To find the correct stock rom you need your phones basic info from fastboot getvar all
you can post the results here but exclude your serial no. and IMEI
i have an HTC One m8. i rooted my phone and installed the harman kardonn mod. ever since my phone got screwed up and i didnt take a back up. now i want to return to my 100% stock rom with boomsound. i completely wanna unroot my phone. but i cant find the ruu or recovery or Nandroid backups anywhere. most of the links are gone cause MEGA is taken off the web. My software number is 3.35.720.1 running 4.4.4. can someone tell me how to i go back to stock. where can i get the back up/RUU ??? HELP ME PLEASE
So are you going to make a nandroid before making any system changes next time? I would certainly hope so.
You can ask and hope for somebody to post the nandroid for your software version.
Alternately, just find a custom ROM to your liking, and flash it.
HK mod requires appropriate firmware (s-off required).
There's a TMO RUU here: http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_a..._20.56.4198.02L_F_release_385597_signed_2.exe
If you poke around htc you might find more too. Worth a look.
But yeah, like repoint said, you could just flash a stock rom too...might be easier.

There are RUUs for T-Mob US, Sprint, and AT&T, as well as Dev Edition and GPE versions. But s-off is needed to run an RUU that does not match your CID/MID. Its not clear whether the OP has s-on or s-off.
Flashing a stock or any custom ROM is almost certainly easier. Just flash the ROM, and the issues with HK mod incompatibility will be fixed.
