What is an RUU zip compared to a non-RUU zip?
RUU zip - a PC36IMG you flash from the bootloader
Non zip - an exe file you run on the pc while the phone is connected to the pc in fastboot from the bootloader
Thank you very much.

I want to install the JB firmware. My phone's details
hboot - 0.43.0000
CID - htc_038
mainver - 1.26.720.2
I just have to do-
download firmware.zip from this thread
then
rename first downloaded .zip package to firmware.zip
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
and thats it. It will it be updated without risk ? does it have anything to do with radio?
Commands are correct, radio is not so relevant.
After you flashes the firmware you need to unlock the bootloader again and flash a custom recovery again.
Then install a complete new rom
Hi
I've been given a One X (he bought an M8) and I thought I'd easily put on KK 4.4.4, but I have hit a brick wall.
It was running ViperX 2.6.0 with Hboot 0.95, and it's S-ON.
Well 4.4.4 needs a Hboot above 1.28, so the flashing failed.
So I did my homework and got the CID (it's HTC-023) to install the firmware so that I could update the Hboot via OTA.
So I installed the boot.img for the HTC-023 firmware and that (of course) was a an error as I didn't have a copy of the boot.img for the ViperX 2.6.0.
Then the firmware was a .rar file and didn't install anyrate.
So now it's in bootloop.
I have not been able to find a copy of ViperX 2.6.0 to extract the required boot.img
I've got TWRP with Sideloader installed, and ADB works fine.
So I am stuck (like my One X really) so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Solution
I thought I should post the solution.
The essential problem was to get a Hboot 1.28 or higher so that a new version of Cyanogenmod could be installed.
On this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376&page=189 is the following from ClydeB1
To flash you need to run the following commands: (It is advised to take a backup of your data and important files on your sd card)
1. Lock bootloader - fastboot oem lock
2. Boot to RUU mode - fastboot oem rebootRUU
3. Flash firmware - fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (if you get an error then rerun this command)
Note: The firmware will flash the new hboot, as well as a new stock boot.img and stock recovery.img.
To flash a custom rom you then need to do the following:
4. Unlock bootloader - fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin (you can use the same unlock_code file as you used previously, check your emails if you can't find it, or else reapply at htcdev.com)
5. Flash custom recovery - fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryfile.img
Note: If the unlock process wiped your sd card you may need to boot to recovery and mount usb storage to copy the rom file across again. If your phone won't boot into recovery then run command - fastboot erase cache and try again.
If you then wish to flash a JB custom rom:
6. Flash new boot.img from rom - fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. For good measure - fastboot erase cache
8. Boot to recovery and flash rom
I followed these steps exactly and it worked perfectly. I did need to use CWM as with TWRP the touch screen did not work.
and have more ease way to do this. You are with too low HBOOT and you can run RUU and then update the phone to latest JB because are you know witch HBoot you install to your phone

are you using the regular fastboot file or the htc_fastboot file?

@anandlal meant that you need to use htc_fastboot instead of fastboot. htc_fastboot is capable of handling larger files. Download htc_fastboot and put it in the same folder as fastboot. It works exactly the same other than adding the "htc_" in front of the command.

Flashing RUU in rebootRUU mode can restore your phone to stock, and all data will be WIPED.
First of all, please find a copy of htc_fastboot in this forum, then
- Connect it to PC
- Reboot to Download Mode
- Use htc_fastboot to go in RUU mode
Code:
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
- Flash RUU zip file from this thread, and yes, you cannot unzip them because they are encrypted. Just use htc_fastboot to flash it.
