[Q] Help with stock ROM and unroot - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've searched for an answer to my problem for hours now and I've found a bunch of stuff, but non of it works so I hope someone can help me with my speciffic problem:
For a couple of months ago I rooted my phone and installed the custom ROM "Android Revolution HD 6.1.3". My phone is really slow and gets so hot it crashes apps. I have decided to install the HTC Desire HD stock ROM and have downloaded both the .exe version and the .zip version. The filename is: RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.3_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.15_M3_release_155032_signed.exe and .zip
I have tried with the .exe version first. When I start it, it says that it can't open the bootloader. Then I tried to copy the .zip version to my sd card, rename it "update.zip". Then I started the bootloader on the phone and choose "recovery" -> "install from sdcard" -> "apply /sdcard/update.zip". It starts to install, but just after saying "Installing update..." it tells me "Installation aborted."
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong and what to do?

You need to extract the Rom.zip from the ruu, rename it pd98img.zip, place on root of sd and flash through hboot. To extract the zip, run ruu on computer and leave it open on first screen. Type %temp% in cmd prompt and navigate to the folder with the newest date and time stamp. Look through this folder for Rom.zip.

One thing to note is you don't flash a pd98 through cwr. You flash it in hboot

Thanks for the answers, it worked!

[Q] Signature Verification Failure

Sorry Guys... I need a little help here. ...
Working with a new Epic 4g.
I ran the one-click root and got it to work .. however whenever i try install a ROM i get and error that says "Signature Verification Failure".
The process i used was to copy downloaded ROM to the SD Card root and rename them to update.
Is there something else i should be doing in addition to or instead of what i've done? Thanks
-sun
Try it without renaming the file. I've seen this before and I fixed.it by taking.the. zip off cause my file was. Zip.zip. just select choose zip from SD card. Just a suggestion. Also if you start to get a couple different rom's on your phone all named update.zip how do you know what is what.
Sent from my Evo Killer!
Sounds like your using the newest clockwork 3 and trying to flash a non cw3 compatible rom. If that's the case you need to run a root program that still has cw2 in it and it will change it.

First off. You should be posting this in the QA section and not in the development section.
What it looks like doing is trying to flash a custom rom in clockwork using either "apply update from sdcard" or "apply /sdcard/update.zip." Neither will work with a custom rom because it requires a signature from Sprint or Samsung. What you need to do in recovery is "Install zip from SDcard" followed by "choose zip from sdcard" then select the zip you're try to flash.

[Q] Problem Flashing Android Nand

Hi guys, I'm new with flashing droid nand on my phone... I started today using this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939682 i followed everything step by step.
I downloaded and installed everything i needed. I came to the final step, flashing NAND Android on HTC HD2 with ClockWorkMod Recovery and everything seemed to be picture perfect.
I'm at the MAGLDR screen trying to Boot 3.) Boot AD NAND and i get this message NAND- kernel opened failed!! I restarted the phone back to MAGLDR and I see the same message kernel opened failed.. AM I missing something??? What do I do now??
PLEASE HELP ME MUCH APPRECIATED.
Wrong Section but when you flash your rom use number 8 which is "AD Recovery" then "install zip from sd card" then "choose zip from sdcard"

[Q] Have I bricked my Desire? - Solved

Hey Guys,
I've had my HTC Desire for over a year, and I've finally managed to break it (or so I think)
A few months back I rooted my phone and since they I've been installing various ROMs.
I recently purchased an app on the store that requires 2.2 and hasn't been updated for 2.3, and as I was running Gingerbread I was looking for a ROM that would downgrade my device back to 2.2.
I downloaded and installed an official ROM for 2.2 and immediately installed an OTA update, since then my phone has bootlooped. I've tried to install other ROMs through recovery but I either come up with a 'signature failed' error or a '(status 2)' error.
I'm guessing I'll need to install ClockworkMod again, but I have no idea how to, and after searching for tutorials how to do it manually, I'm having trouble understanding them.
Running HBOOT 0.93
The phone isn't branded by any company.
If there's anything else you need to know please ask and I will provide the information ASAP
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this, also.
EDIT!
An error message appears when I enter recovery displaying
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command"

I guess you cannot access rom/clockworkmod recovery?
My only idea is a hard factory reset (you will loose all data with this operation):
1.) Boot phone into hboot (start it with pressed volume down and power button)
2.) Navigate with volume buttons to "CLEAR STORAGE"
3.) Enter with power button

I can access recovery, it takes me to a screen with a picture of a phone with a red triangle and an exclamationmark in the middle.
I press +Vol and Power and it gives me these options
Reboot system now
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
I tried the 'ClearStorage' method and I'm having no luck with that.
I'm guessing I'm looking for an official unmodded ROM. However that might not be the case. :/

Download latest ruu from here:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release
Rename it into "update.zip" and copy it on your sd card. Now boot into stock recovery and choose "apply sdcard:update.zip".
After this process is finished, you should have an unbraned desire running stock froyo ruu.

Maybe I forgot to mention, my device is rooted, so it doesn't like the official ROMs.

I don't have an option to do that since I'm using the stock recovery; maybe if I can install ClockworkMod somehow...
However I'm not sure how to do this since my phone wont actually boot to let me install it from the ROM Manager APK.

A complete ruu is needed, not only the ota. So download my linked ruu, rename it into PB99IMG.zip, copy it to the root of your sd card (so not in any folder), boot your phone into hboot and run the flash operation.

Thanks for clearing that out but the link you provided it's a RUU.exe which can only be flashed from PC to flash the ruu from hboot you need zip version of that ruu.i am saying this cause when i was flashed ruu from hbbot renaming the ruu.exe didn't work for me i had to download to zip file from the shipped-roms.com

Swyped from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Sorry for the wait in reply.
Okay, I did that with the PB99IMG.zip file and I'm still having no luck, maybe there's another step after that what I've missed out?
I placed the PB99IMG file to the root of the SD and the HBOOT loaded it, what am I supposed to do next?
I tried rebooting the phone after this, and I still get the same loop.
The HTC screen shows, then it seems to restart (probably because there's nothing on the device for it to load)
EDIT
I tried both ZIPs that I was linked to
My last idea is to try this way:
1.) Create goldcard with linux:
http://www.nazriawang.com/2010/04/how-to-create-goldcard-with-ubuntu.html?m=1
2.) Rename my linked ruu in "update.zip" after downloading (in case you don't have it any more)
3.) Copy this file on the goldcard
4.) Insert goldcard in your phone, go to recovery and apply the update.zip on your sd card
Maybe the goldcard can avoid the signature verification failure.

[Q] HBOOT Image and Update Script Errors

What I did:
Rooted Evo 4G Gingerbread using Revolutionary
Flahsed su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.exe and PC36IMG.EXE
Worked great, got excited flashed:
SOS_v1.9.0.2-swag.exe, navbar_rednblack.exe, remap_camera.exe, and ChopSuey-v.9.2.6-UNIVERSAL-signed.exe
Whats going on:
SOS, navbar, and remap flash fine; all other flash attempts give the error, E: Can’t Find Update Script
At HBoot
SD Checking
Loading (PC36IMG.img)
No Image
Loading (PC36IMG.img)
No Image or Wrong Image
Loading (PC36IMG.img)
No Image
Loading (PC36IMG.img)
No Image or Wrong Image
(With PC36IMG.EXE on the SD root) Also
Parsing (SD ZIP)
(1) Recovery
So how do I get rid of the errors so I can flash another ROM or whatever? Thanks for helping a noob
If you're already rooted, you need to boot into recovery. Then navigate to where the .zip (ROM) is located. The instructions to flash should be provided on the first page of the dev's post.
Thank you but, I don't undeerstand. I can find the zip files that I put on the SD card, and go into the recovery screen but when I try and flash any ROM/add on/bootanimation/ I get the eror, E: Can’t Find Update Script" so where is the script? Also, any ieas on the no/wrong image issue?
What recovery r u using? R u flashing chopsuey thru hboot or recovery?
Sent From My Pocket
I flashed the Kernal throu recovery.
HBoot> scroll to Recovery>hit power key> Brings up android systems recovery screen> scroll to "Flash sip from SDcard> Select the zip file. That is when I get the E: Can not find update script error.
I am not running the PC36IMG ROM, I am running the SOS_v1.9.0.2-swag but in HBOOT, its looking for the PC36IMG image, are't these issues related?
Google "evo amon-ra xda forums".
Download the PC36IMG.zip.
Copy and paste it in the root of your SD card.
Press volume up to install in hboot.
Once complete, boot into recovery and try to flash the ROM zip file.
Be sure to delete the amon-ra zip file or else it'll just ask if you want to flash when hboot loads.

Thanks, trie your suggestion but the file still aborted with the can find update script error.

Go to the correct forum for your device. I'm sure someone over there will be able to help you do whatever it is you're trying to do.
If you're looking for a bootloader-flashable recovery file, I posted one in the TWRP thread for the LTE.

Flash new ROM to a soft-bricked Spalsh screen using PC only.

I was doing a first-time root. CWM installed OK. Then I did something TOTALLY STUPID...and the end result is perm. Splash screen.
On normal power-up, it's stuck on Splash screen white backgound with green "HTC".
It won't go any further.
Tried Recovery but didn't do BACK-UP!! I don't have access to another phone that supports micro-SD, to transfer the file to SD, insert in HTC and use it with Recovery CWM that way?? (Guessing)
I don't know any fastboot/ recovery commands for cmd prompt to send new ROM to the phone.
My phone stats:

Or I also got PG76img.zip from xda thread [Marvelc] PG76IMG ZIPs (Taking requests) by member Kalaker (Thank you)
So I have to find a way to flash via PC only.
should add:
When I tried to run the Marvel exe direct, the wizard stalls at the Verifyinf stage as"Error [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR". The ROM Update Utility cannot connect to your Android phone. Please check that the USB cable is connected properly between the PC and your Android phone.
It is!

Yes, in Recovery>Mounts & Storage, there is an option to mountSD.
I didn't see what this would do. BUT I did mounted the SD, re-ran Marvel.exe- in both Recovery AND normal power on Splash screen.
But I still got the same error message as before: "USB CONNECTION FAILED".
I think I need a command that works in cmd like the one on the Unlock BootLoader stage: e.g. the two-fold cd \Android & \Android>fastboot oem get_ etc.

Tried to install ROM from zip:
I got:
E:Error in /sdcard/marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip
(status 0)
Any ideas what happened?
Spent the evening/night trying a few different things.
Tried a different ROM, on a different SD Card- so as not to jeopardize the copy I have.
So I download, via the Galaxy S4,:
RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe from
www.androidruu.com/?developer=Marvel_MarvelC[/url]
Put the card in the HTC & the download was not listed on the SDCard!
It's definitely there- rechecked it in the S4!
I thought maybe the Wildfire could not see it for some reason so made a folder with the S4, called it Xda & copied the file into it.
So there are now two copies- #1 directly on the card & #2 in the new Xda folder.
I put the card back in the HTC Wildfire & yet again neither were showing. #1 still did not show & although the Xda folder WAS there, the phone read it as having no files!!
So, I thought there might be a problem with either the card OR the downloaded file.
SO....
I got the original SD Card that has the marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip on it, that failed to load earlier, & I downloaded:
RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe from shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Marvel
Once again, when I put the SD Card into the Wildfire- NOTHING. No file, yet, according to the S4 it's there- right above the marvel from earlier.
Strange? I can not work it out. There is no dot/ full stop before the name on either download on either SD card- a method to hide files apparently on the S4.
At least I've got one working? copy from earlier but THAT still returns the message:
E:Error in /sdcard/marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip (status 0)
Have not found a direct PC to phone method yet either.
Thanks

Once again, when I put the SD Card into the Wildfire- NOTHING. No file, yet, according to the S4 it's there- right above the marvel from earlier.
Strange? I can not work it out. There is no dot/ full stop before the name on either download on either SD card- a method to hide files apparently on the S4.
At least I've got one working? copy from earlier but THAT still returns the message:
E:Error in /sdcard/marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip (status 0)
Have not found a direct PC to phone method yet either.
Thanks

Hi,
AFAIK, you will not be able to flash an .exe file from the SD card, there were meant to be used on a PC for flashing through the USB cable, so you will only be able to flash .zip files from the SD card.
The E:Error in /sdcard/marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip (status 0) error is usually associated with a bad META-INF folder inside the zip file, meaning that either the signature file is corrupted, there is something wrong in the any of the files inside this folder, or just the whole zip file is corrupted. CWM is preventing you from doing something wrong.
Try to download and flash the file again, wait for more answers and, as a last resort, try with a different zip file (search for exactly the same rom) or another version in the thread that @csoulr666 posted (options 1 or 2).
Regards.
Still looking for an answer to my USB issue. In the meantime I tried 1 of uk_yo tachibana's suggestions
Downloaded a fresh copy of marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip & clicked install zip from SD card.
This time I got:
--Installing: /sdcard/marvel_signed_021213_001159.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
The handset has been like this since around 10.05 am. I was expecting something else to happen by now (3 hours + later)
I will leave it a while longer, before I try another file.
I assume it has crashed again?
Thanks.
UPDATE:
I've been trying various downloads & ways, yesterday and today. Read umpteen threads & websites.
I've tried multiple downloads of the files. I've used two SD Cards (to verify that SD was not an issue). Also, used both with all files via 2 browsers- Chrome & FireFox, as 1 thread I read recommended that the questionair tries downloading the files with another browser; as either the files are corrupt or the download was- as they too kept getting the "Installation aborted (Status 0)" error.
example of what I keep getting:
Insert SDcard to WildfireS. HBOOT>Recovery
(every time) I do the four wipes...
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition completed
(Advanced)
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
+++++Go Back+++++
Then I click:
- Install zip from sdcard
My options
- choose zip from sdcard
- apply /sdcard/update.zip
- toggle signiture verification
- toggle script asserts
-+++++Go Back+++++
I click:
- choose zip from sdcard
I get my list of files/folders on sdcard
I choose:
(example) marvel_signed_021213_015156.zip
the handset then starts:

and also:
marvel_perfect_stock.zip
from: [ROM][STOCK 2.3.5]marvel perfectly stock rom... not even rooted!!! by member rjshrjndrn
Even though, later in the thread, the OP says it's not flashable from SD Card as it isn't .img & says renaming is not an option. Just thought I would give it a shot!
I'm looking into "how to rip a PG76IMG off from %temp%"?.
(a) Not sure how to do this yet
(b) If it will even work
HOWEVER, marvel_perfect_stock.zip SHOULD work as is; as a zip- so I put a copy in my PC folder (with the rest of my files-fastboot, adb, cwm etc.).
I just don't know how to use it- there must be some kind of cmd prompt instruction, but it is not listed.
Still can not get past the Marvel_RUU wizard's error from earlier yet, either!
Thanks.
Hello.
On the SD Card side of things, I have read threads that suggest, after multiple downloads [even through different browsers] of a file still return the (Status 0)/ (bad)- that maybe my cwm version needs updating, in order to push the chosen file through.
After doing a "Google search" for cwm for wildfire s download, I got two main options:
1) clockworkmod.com/rommanager‎ BUT, this only offers ver: 5.0.2.8 which is already the one I have.
2) code.google.com/p/cm9-wildfire-s/downloads/detail?name...cwm...THIS gives me a download: Unoffical ClockworkMod v6.0.0.7 Recovery for Marvel.
The file is PG76IMG-cwm-6.0.0.7-UNOFFICIAL-marvel.zip 4.5 MB. [You need to rename it to PG76IMG.zip and copy it to your SD card.]
Now I have already downloaded it [via Firefox on Galaxy S4, renamed as instructed & put on SD]
I JUST HAVE NOT installed/ ran it yet on the Wildfire S as I'm unsure if it's safe to do so OR even if I SHOULD mess around further with the handset/ WORKING Recovery [esp. as the file states UNOFFICIAL CwM]!
Any thoughts on this, as I'm running out of options for solutions?
Thanks.
Aaaah NEARLY!!!!!!!
Found this thread:
Htc wildfire s Stock rom by member gabontz_vl
It advised to go to follow this link:
androidforums.com/wildfire-s-...ed-device.html
So I did this and I followed it's advice and got the Wizard working:
HAD TO ***Relocked*** my Bootloader gurrrr! Will have to unlock again when I have my ROM back!
HTC Android Phone ROM Update Utility 1.0.5.2011
Current information about your Android phone:
Image version:
19.26.401.3
<Click update>
From 19.26.401.3
to
2.26.401.3
Phone restarts; "HTC" appears on black screen
Wizard says the process will take 10 mins to update
BUT after NEARLY working, it failed saying:
ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The ROM Update cannot update your Android phone.
Please get correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
Note the wizard matched my ROM & Radio perfectly.
Have not messed with HBOOT. It's still the original 1.09.0099.
Where do I go from here?
Thanks

Try using a zip extracted from an RUU
1. First download and run an RUU on your computer(the latest one you can find)
2. After the first window pops up, close it
3. Then in "Run" type "%temp%"
4. In there find a file named "ROM.zip"
5. Rename it to "PG76IMG.zip"
6. Put it on the root of the SDcard(no folders)
7. Now boot into the bootloader
8. It will check and ask you to flash the file, press the Vol up button
9. And you'll get a completely stock rom
Do make sure that your bootloader is Relocked when you do this, you can unlock it using the same unlock code

I've just spotted the reply, thank you for the advice csoulr666.
Yes I will do this now & let you know how I get on.
Again, thanks.
Thanks again to csoulr666.
Followed the instructions to the letter.
After powering on in HBOOT, the handset automatically began "checking...PG76IMG.zip". A load-bar appeared at the top-righthand corner of the screen. When checking completed, I got:
Main Version is older!
Update fail!
Press <power> to reboot.
Now, I extracted from RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe-
as the stats for my software were ROM: 2.26.401.3 & Radio 7.57.39.10M.
A perfect match. So what is this "Main Version is older" referring to?
I am a little confused.
Thanks.

Try using one that is newer than your current version
Thank you to csoulr666 for the advice. I apologise for the delay in responding (as I saw this at 9am). I have spent the day (& most of last night ) on Google, reading umpteen threads-
"googling": ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR/ The ROM Update cannot update your Android phone/ Main Version is older/ ruu could not update my rom version/ latest stock rom for wildfire s/ htc wildfire s newest update/ original stock rom for htc wildfire s/ stock roms for wildfire s/ HTC Wildfire S Software newer than 2.26.401.3/ update from 2.26.401.3/ update android 2.3 6/ download android 2.3 6 for htc wildfire s.
The latest RUU IS 2.26.401.3. That is the one I am using, both as RUU, & to extract the ROM to .zip. I can not find ANY NEWER RUU.
I am unclear as to what "Try using one that is newer than your current version" referrs to, sorry; so I could only reason that it must be the Android version.
As the RUU is the latest- 2.26, it should surely contain ver:2.3.5. If it's not, which the error messge implies it's not?, I'm not sure how to check the Android version contained within nor how to replace it as I can not find a seperate 2.3.5 file. I can not find an Android 2.3.5 file download, nor how to update an RUU in .exe form or an independant ROM .zip ripped from it, .
I am now really stuck & fresh out of ideas.
Thanks

Did you get this sorted?
I too had the same problems as you. I am on the same HBOOT and radio and my Cid is O2__001 (UK) and all the errors you encountered were the same for me.
I got it working tonight by creating a GOLDCARD SD card (search XDA/Google for it and use Youtube to find out how to create one) and using the Rom extracted from the latest RUU 2.26.401.3.
Now im totally stock.
If you need anymore help PM me.
