with a gold card you can install custom PG***.zip files that you couldn't without it. I think at least.

Not entirely true. A goldcard only by-passing checking the carrier ID (CID) during flashing of a HTC signed PG32IMG.zip, so you could flash a Bell Mobile ROM onto a Virgin Mobile device. The zip file must still be a signed and unaltered HTC ROM.zip image. You must have S-OFF to flash a custom PG32IMG.zip file.

On older models (MT3G), you could use the gold card to downgrade to an older software version. That was how I rooted my friends MyTouch.

Have you ever download ROMs from htc site? I suppose not, so in that case don't say that this ROM is fake or something like that. This exe contains zip file which you can find in temp folder. This exe is supposed to be run from PC, that's why it look like that.

i havent can we have some flashing instructions? maybe a feature list? screen shots??
What is this? It looks super sketchy.
Why the suspicion folks, it just looks like an RUU to me ? i.e. an exe (since that what an RUU is) that you run, not a ROM image that you flash from SD card.
Looks like it has the newest radio to date, might be worth extracting that and flashing to see if it helps us all even if we don't use the ROM itself ?
Not to mention, the OP is respected and known to be a provider of new RUUs as they come out. Theres nothing suspicious in the presentation of an exe. And I doubt that Football would knowingly endanger anyones phone

Yeah, if you run the RUU but just leave it at its first window (don't press anything), then you can go to your temp folders under Windows and you'll find it's extracted the ROM PC10IMG.zip file from the .exe and stored it in that temp area. Within that will be various stuff including the radio image.
I actually don't know for sure how to flash the radio, no-one seems to have posted up a method yet on these forums (probably use fasboot to flash it ?), this may well be because we haven't really had any new radios to try. But to me, this one looks like a signifcant enough change number-wise to give it a go.
Won't it unroot and s-on if you flash it?

I will try this out. Sprint Hero used RUU's and was succesful. Problem I see is that in my experience after using and RUU to flash it usually destroys your root or your ability to root with conventional methods. Im I wrong? And Do you know what the Egypt might possibly stand for?
This one is not ment for random noobs to flash, but for devs to grab new/updated stuff from e.g. the radio as mentioned.
DONT FLASH THIS IF YOUR NOT FAMILIAR WITH RUU AND WHAT IT CAN CAUSE, ITS NOT A COOKED ROM ITS OFFICIAL!!

It won't be rooted since it's a stock ROM. Not sure about S-OFF since that's set in the radio config partition assuming you used gfree.
It is not safe to flash if you only have S-OFF via the eng hboot.
This RUU is legit. RUUs come in .exe form. If you happened to check the HD2 forums they use RUUs as a way to root the phone and flash a custom wm6.5 rom
Is it just me or is half the HTC Vision/DZ community complete noobs to the android system? RUU's have always been .exe's - they are official ROM's released by htc. They do not require root (in most cases) to install. There is nothing weird about it. Man, I don't remember people this infantile in the Hero forums.
Not to perpetuate, but there seems to be an awful lot of hostility after Football posted a RUU. Especially in regards to the tweaking of someones quote.
Come on fellow XDAers let's hold back those irritations we bring in from a hard days work and look at this logically.
Thanks for the RUU upload, Football, let's see what the devs do with it.
Why doesn't someone post the extracted files and stop all this malware nonsense?
Just an idea.

Aren't ruus always exe files? Well from my experience all ruus I've encountered since the htc desire have all been self extracting exes. Thanks for the rom football.

Incredible OTA update

OK, so for the last couple of months I've been putting off updating with the ota just because when I tried to do it, it wouldn't go through because i rooted with unrevoked forever and my security is off (S-off).. So I finally get around to do it, but I can't figure out how to turn security back on (S-on). I thought I could do it by running unrevoked again but this time uncheck Disable security on phone. Well I tried it like 5 times and I still got S-off. So how do I turn it back on to get the newest update, or does anyone have it in an update.zip format?

Why do you want to do that?
That said, if it's what you really want to do, then download the latest PB31IMG file from Doug Piston's Site. Rename the file to PB31IMG.zip, put it on the root of your sdcard, and reboot into HBOOT. Follow the onscreen prompts.
You'll still have S-OFF, but that's not going to prevent the ROM from installing. If you don't want to replace things like your recovery, radio, hboot, with the defaults then remove those .img files from the zip file.
Here, to get s-off the file i attached should work. Its from the get back to stock thread
So if I go get the newest pb31img.zip, that's basically the newest ota? And all I have to do is hboot install it?

Yes. Removing the recovery.img means that you won't lose your ClockworkMod Recovery. Alternatively, you could download CWM 3.0.0.8 for the Inc from and replace the recovery.img file in the RUU so that you're flashing the latest CWM instead of the stock recovery.
Similarly, you can grab your favorite radio version from this thread and replace the radio.img file. The one built into the RUU is 07.28, whereas 11.19 is the latest that works with our phones (even if it did come from the Evo). If you're not sure which radio works best for you, then I'd advise starting with the stock 07.28 radio, and seeing which works best for you over time. Different radio versions can have different effects for people depending on their location. For many, it can improve signal strength (and, correspondingly, battery life). For others it makes things worse.
Also, you can't flash S-ON on the Inc unless you're running the 07.28 radio.
What is different with the new hboot?

I'll be honest, I don't know. However, some ROMs require the latest HBOOT to work, so it's worth upgrading while you're resetting everything else.

No, that's not going to work quite the same way. I've never peeked into the OTA file to see what's inside, so I don't know what kind of results you'll get.
Thank you so much, that helped a lot! So I pulled the doug pm31img.zip, put the new clockwork recovery into a new pm31img.zip then copied the contents of Doug pm31img to the new pm31img with out the recovery.img. then re-zipped it, do I need to use no compression? (I used winrar to create the new pm31img.zip)
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Compression ratio doesn't matter -- I used max with 7-zip. Just make sure you use Deflate, not Deflate64 or any other advanced compression method.
And make sure it's name is PB31IMG.zip, not PM31IMG.zip.
Oh, and make sure your SD card is FAT32 formatted, not FAT16.

Bootloop and no recovery

OK so i just rooted using unrevoked3. all seemed to go fine i had SU and Recovery, so i tried to install rom manager, and then installed recovery image off there. Made a backup of my rom but now the phone wont boot up after rebooting. I cant get into recovery so i cant install my back up. Any ideas people?
Ricey
try a different micro sd card, the phone might be having difficulty detecting your card hence you cant get to recovery. if that doesn't work. i don't know what will
Thanks for the reply but that didn't work, i can boot into recovery but as soon as i try to select one of the options it just goes to a black screen
Ok so i managed to flash Stock RUU and going to try again wish me luck

[SOLUTION] So your Marvelc is refusing to flash a ROM

Okay I've been getting reports of roms not flashing right for the marvelc. So I set out for a solution and found one I believe. One issues with some roms, is that people have been doing it wrong since they got the phone. From Gsm recovery to even gsm roms. They used cmtd a very bad idea ect ect. So now, id like to present my method for fixing all of this. First, soff your hboot, then upgrade and unlock. install custom recovery and wipe all of the partitions. Then reboot to fastboot and flash the recovery posted bellow. Report back with any findings
http://goo.im/devs/simonsimons34/marvelc/cm9/tests/recovery.img
I was just wondering if you could give step by step instructions to flashing the recovery.img. File.
Download it. Rename to recovery.img. Place in the same directory as fastboot and adb.
Put your phone into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader).
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Simonsimons34 I have tried many things but this CWM actually let me flash a rom your great!! thanks so much and this worked for me
Glad to hear it this recovery has all the bugs with flashing and backups fixed so you should be good for the life of the phone

Reset HTC one m9 to stock

I have a HTC One m9 which is rooted and has twrp. It is on 5.0.1 and I would like to get the OTA updates to goto marshmallow. But I am s-on with t-mobile and want to be 100% sure what I am doing and risks involved. I looked at multiple forms and they usually require s-off. I also have read that you can flash stock recovery and run the ruu file and then it will reset your phone but wipe the data which I am fine with yet it is risky and can brick your phone. I would just like to return to stock without bricking my device. Any help would be very helpful. Thank you
Running an RUU should not brick your device.
You will have to relock your bootloader before running the RUU.
Read flippy's thread in the general section. S-off is the easiest way.

You shouldn't have to flash the stock recovery to RUU...at least I never had to, but may be different on the M9, but I doubt it.
Correct. The RUU will flash the stock recovery. But there is no need to relock if you use the SD card method for flashing instead of fastboot.

For the ruu file, I can goto htc.com and download the latest T-Mobile ruu file? Also, if I do the SD card method, are there no risks or is there a couple. And if there is a risk and it happens, what do I do? I want to do this being 100% prepared for every possibility.
It depends: HTC's website only provides RUUs for US carriers. Since you never mentioned which T-Mobile you're talking about I can't tell you whether you will find the correct RUU there. T-Mobile Germany RUUs can be found in my sheet, too. If you need any other than the US or the German one then I don't know where you need to look for...
There are less risks than using fastboot since the file is already on your phone (more or less). Using fastboot or a RUU.exe (which does nothing else then using fastboot) the USB connection could theoretically be interrupted which may hard brick your phone in the worst case. Nevertheless I can't remember reading about such a case so there should be no reason for worries.
Be aware that you need a RUU.zip file for the SD card method. If you can only find an *.exe file than you need to extract the archive from the *.exe. There are plenty of guides how to do this here on xda which can all be found with the help of google.

You can get the zip file from an RUU.exe, just open the program and let it finish the progress bar
Then go to %localappdata%/temp, find the latest created folder (has some random strings), and then it should be called ROM.zip (hint, it's on the same folder as ARUWizard.exe)

Be aware that you need a RUU.zip file for the SD card method. If you can only find an *.exe file than you need to extract the archive from the *.exe. There are plenty of guides how to do this here on xda which can all be found with the help of google.

I have the zip file using icycowolfiv method. Tomorrow I will attempt to flash. But if anything goes wrong, what do you recommend I do? For example, this zip file is not the correct ruu or I need s-off to flash using a sd-card. After your reply, I will flash and tell you how it goes.
I just realized I need a micro SD card. I have a regular one. Crap. I don't have a micro SD card or the means to upload a file to it through a computer so now what? I could borrow a micro SD card but I don't know how to upload a file to it since my computer only has a standard SD card reader.
You don't need S-OFF. And I highly doubt that it's the wrong RUU if you are a T-Mobile US User.
Micro SD cards aren't that expensive. Be aware that it mustn't be bigger than 32 GB and formatted to fat32 if firmware 2.x or 1.x is installed on your phone. Besides you could buy a Micro SD to USB adapter or a Micro SD to SD adapter.
Edit: Or you simply use the *.exe or flash the *.zip manually via fastboot (htc_fastboot needed - the normal one will crash) or you google for llabtoofer's RUU service.

My phone has been fully reset back to stock. Thank you so much. You potentially saved me from making a lot of mistakes. I can't thank you enough.
