I've seen a few people ask but am yet to see an answer.
Is it possible to unlock phones that aren't included in the table on HTC dev and therefore don't have a RUU available??
I'm on telecom New Zealand which isn't listed, anything I can do??

You can flash the EU version it will unbrand it but it will still update but you will need the hboot package most likely

I have successfully updated to the EU 2.3.5 rom, but I still have HBOOT 0.90.000 and RUU fails.
I also tried replacing the PG76IMG.zip file but it looked like it skipped updating the HBOOT.
Any ideas??

dude I had exact same problem. i update to 2.3.5 and HBOOT did not changed from 0.90.000.
So I manage to DL another RUU from HTCDEV (asia) and update HBOOT once again (this was impossible before updating to 2.3.5). then it changed.
then I unlocked .

First of all, I got "ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED" error when I tried to use one of the RUU files mentions in HTCDEV. ( ASIA , EUR , .... )
so I found my rom's HBOOT is not released yet. (my main rom was ARABIC)
So I updated my rom to EUR 2.3.5 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363693).
But this update didnt changed my HBOOT, it was still 0.9.000.
SO then I updated ASIA RUU (PG7610000_Marvel_hboot_1.08.0099_20111216.exe) once again and it worked this time and updated my HBOOT. it changed the HBOOT version to 1.08.0099. (as i mentioned this RUU did not installed on my phone prior to updating to 2.3.5 due to "ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED" error).
after that I followed the steps on HTC dev and bootloader unlocked!

Actually i had flashed the EU rom in the first place everything got updated n it worked fine too but the bootloader was not getting updated! tried other methods to update the bootloader which failed too! So that got me worried that i cannot update my bootloader!
Flashed the same Asia rom.
Downloaded the RUU from htvdev for bootloader 1.08.0099 India!
Then when i ran the ruu got an error n it didnt let me install it..
Then got two files rom_1.zip and rom_2.zip from the temp files..
rom_2.zip contained the hboot update files so tried flashing that by renaming it to PG76IMG.zip and making a goldcard but it skipped the bootloader update again!!
then i first flashed the rom_1.zip first (which updated my radio) then the rom_2.zip (updated bootloader and then changed the radio again) n my bootloader got updated successfully!!!! B-)
so i just flash different roms if my ruu is not on the list and that will work?

So now that you have updated the HBoot are you able to gain HBoot unlock?

Exact same position as you Larz, HBoot update keeps being bypassed when trying to update... Tryed different ROMS by extracting the rom.zip and changing the file name to PG76IMG with the same result for each one...
Their has to be some solution for this...

SUCCESS!!! I have updated my HBoot version to 1.08.0099!!!
I used 181charan's method, used PG7610000_Marvel_hboot_1.08.0099_20111216.exe RUU (not 100% sure which one its listed as on HTC Dev website) and success!!!
Time to run through the HBoot Unlock method

Ok so I brought the phone from Telecom, it says its a A510b, model number PG76120 (found behind the battery, just below the SIM card slot)
So what I have done to achieve this result:
1: Simply sign up to the HTCdev website www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ once done, select the HTC Wildfire S from the drop list to begin
2: After accepting all the terms and agreements bla bla their is a list of ROMS, their was only 3 options for the model that I have PG76120, so I downloaded the HTC Thailand RUU
3: Ok so if you end up running the RUU it will tell you that the ROM is out of date with an error message, what I found out (this took me all day...) when you first open the RUU (this is if you run Windows) their will be a Temp folder made with all the files that the RUU needs to run, if you search the Temp Folder (usually found under the user folder in Documents and Settings\<User>\Local Settings\Temp) these files will only exist if you leave the RUU Program open, so just open it up and move the window to the side, search under the Temp folder for rom
4: You will find 2 zip folders named rom_01 and rom_02, copy these 2 zips to your desktop
5: Now change the name of rom_01 (im not 100% sure if its 01 or 02 that you need to do first, I cant remember) to PG76IMG and copy it over to a microSD, insert into your phone and boot into HBoot, it will go through the normal process of detecting and then opening the zip and will ask you if you wish to update the radio to v2 (it should only ask to update the radio, because you need to do it first before you use the second file which asks to update both the radio and hboot) allow to do so and it will do its thing and when completed ask to reboot.
6: Now change the name of the second rom (if I have the order right this should be rom_02) to PG76IMG, remove the first file you put on the microSD and replace it with second, back into HBoot, it will read the file and ask you to update HBoot and Radio, allow it to do so and it will update the HBoot, should say OK next to HBoot, once completed it will ask to be rebooted
7: To check that this has all happended correctly, go back into HBoot (remove your microSD before this) and you should have a pink box up the top stating *LOCKED* if you see this and your HBoot version is now 1.08.0099 (if you used the RUU that I did) you are now ready to go through the HTCdev Bootunlock process
8: Do the HTCdev Bootunlock process, it is straight forward and easy to do!
9: Forget needing to use the XTC and starting modding you HTC Wildfire S!!!
Thanks!!

Hi,
My device is 1.15 and rooted. When I click "system software update" I'm always seeing checkingin, nothing more.
I want to update my device to 1.21.405.2 but I can't.
What is your suggestions?
Unroot it.
Code:
How to Unroot your HTC Desire to stock
If you Have A 0.75 Bootloader:
Generic RUU Download / Mirror #1
T-Mobile UK RUU Download
o2 UK RUU Download
3 UK RUU Download
If You Have A 0.80 Bootloader: Download
Other RUUs Avalible Here
You will need:
1. HTC Sync (For Drivers)
2. The Download Above
3. A Windows PC
4. A Goldcard (Not required for generic HTC Desires)
The Guide:
1. Make sure your goldcard is in your phone (If Required-if your phone is branded)
2. Turn your Desire on
3. Connect it to a Windows PC
4. Run the HTC RUU
5. Let it run
6. & YOUR DONE!
Okey, I understood. But which file I must the download for 0.75 or 0.80. My boot version is 0.75.
Apparently the 1st version for 0.75 bootloader, you didnt tell if your Desire is unbranded or not, so if it is, the 1st link.

I don't know what is unbranded. I bought this phone from Germany. Before I rooted I was see T-Mobile logo. After root I see HTC logo. My friend ordered for me and I think he will pay 24 month to T-Mobile Germany. Is that mean branded?
In this case which version is good for me?. I rooted this device one week ago and I tried make 1.21 OTA update but I couldn't. Phone was say: "There is no any update". I dont want to see this meassage again after unroot.
Thanks for reply.
Im not sure, maybe someone else can confim that, but it seems that yours is T-mobile branded. Im not aware though, what and if there is a difference in UK vs German version (if in the UK version the german language is missing for instance).
I don't know what t-mobile is doing, but vodafone users only got a 1.19 update OTA! So no 1.21 in germany I think. Is it not possible to unbrand the phone and install one of these RUU updates from htc? Check this in dev forum
I downloaded this:
If you Have A 0.75 Bootloader:

I will do unroot, after that I will try to take OTA 1.21 update, if can't I will try manuelly do RUU 1.21 update. I hope I don'tl corrupt the phone.
Just to be in the safe side, it's best practise to perform a Nandroid backup in Recovery Mode beforehand, which you can later restore if anything does go wrong with the flash.

Ok, nondroid is okey. I did unroot, and I saw a popup about system update
Now, I'm downloading BL 0.80 files to make again unroot but I confuse, should I do again goldcard process? I did already one time before..
Yes, you will need to use the same Gold Card to flash RUU files with a different CID to your own device.

So, I have a rooted Desire with stock 1.15 fw. If I want to upgrade to stock 1.21 fw I must unroot, then install the upgrade and re-root, isn't it? But if I'll follow this sequence will I lost every application that is on the phone now? Maybe it's better waiting for Froyo or installing a modded fw?
Well i downloaded offical updated and did the updated manualy because i also did not get updated via phone
Something goes wrong.
1. I have unrooted and did OTA 1.21 update.
2. I checked bootloader version. It's 0.80
3. I have unrooted again with 0.80 and 1.21 version.
4. After that I checked sw version it was 1.15 again
5. Again I did 1.21 updated and after reebot I checked again 1.15
I can download and install OTA 1.21 update many times, but still same. What is wrong?
Can someone help me with this? I'm trying to update the HBOOT loader using the HTC Dev unlock site but the download HBOOT 1_08.0099.20111216.exe file says my ROM image version (1.36.61.2) is not compatible and that a new file for this version will be available soon.
Is there anything I can do to update the HBOOT in the meantime (I don't mind debranding, possibly creating a gold card, etc) as it would be great to get the bootloader on this device unlocked (so I can try cyogen among other things)
For more help, write down Your hboot Info:
Radio,hboot version.
And your android version.
In Settings-About Phone(or something like that last on the list...)-About OS or something.... cant remember... in english...
I was orange but debranded a few weeks ago. So I went for the EU version . Hope that helps!

@Unkheq,
BIOS information is:
HBOOT-0.90.0000
MICRODP-0451
RADIO-7.46.35.08
Apr 8 2011 17:45:10
OS Info is:
Android version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense Version: 2.1
Software number: 1.36.61.2
Looking at the HTCdev info problem is there is no orange uk RUU image - or before that even a ROM updater.
@pat da punk
I Was think of reflashing to the EU stock from the loading to the SD card method, or by using the HTC dev unlocker HTC EU RUU, but I don't want to brick the phone by not prepping the rest of it first (i.e. the image mismatch)
you have 2 options. Wait for the Orange UK 2.3.5 Update, then start unlocking it, Or flash it to EU 2.3.5. those 2 things will update your hboot to 1.08.0000, where u are able to unlock
#Edit
Also u wont brick phone with official RUU, it will check if all is good, then it will start installing, Orange UK rom is just same as HTC EU rom, but u got branded OS, that's the difference
@Unkheq
How would I update the OS to 2.3.5 EU? as it would be useful to be pointed somewhere where the image is / information is on how to do this, as I might go ahead and flash to the EU version if I decide its going to be a faster option
Don't mind about the non branding. Most crucial on my mind at the moment is making more space for apps etc.

Thanks for all your help pat da punk and Unkheq. I've used the thanks button in the thread. I will wait a week or two to see if an offical Orange UK rom update comes out, and then may go the EU carrier route.
A final question, if I convert the SD card to a gold card, does it still use orange as the main network, but esentally allows you to flash the rom so its non orange branded (EU generic route)?
You use he network from your simcard is ^^, after installing rom u pick ur network.
OK got it. Will see if I can link the guides so that when I come back in a week or so I can remember exactly what to do
As it looks like there is going to be no immediate Orange UK unlocker for the wildfire S (can't see any mention on the website) I was planning to go the HTC Europe route myself as soon as the SD card reader I've ordered arrives.
If I do this then considering the HBOOT needs updating, will the marvel Europe 2.66 version (or whatever the lastest version is) attempt this and abort if there is going to be a problem or is there a verified version that successfully updates HBOOT 0.90 without any risk?
If all versions work then all fine and dandy. Just asking in case I'm creating a bricking chance if I manage to goldcard the SD card.
Thought I would post back and say I had great success in reflashing to the HTC marvel europe build.
Basically I followed the guide in 1st link beow below, then followed up by using the unlocker on the HTCdev site.
I've also found that the HTC supertool V3 roots the phone and its possible the unlock bootloader instructions will work as well, but I personally didn't follow that method and used the HTCdev site.

I was lucky as I didn't get any errors and used the HTC drivers / non HTC-sync method to do all the transferring.
Note: This works for some people, but I suggest you don't update, because majority of the people are having problems.
theq86 has reported his phone bricked.
Conclusions:
1- S-ON & Bootloader Locked
Your HBOOT will stay to the version 1.08.0000.
You will not be able to unlock the bootloader until HTCDev updates its RUU.
2- S-ON & Bootloader Unlocked (HBOOT 1.08.0009)
Your HBOOT will be downgraded to 1.08.0000 and your bootloader will be locked again. You will lose root and CWM.
You will not be able to unlock the bootloader until HTCDev updates its RUU.
3- S-OFF
Your HBOOT will stay (or be updated/downgraded) to 1.08.0000.
You don't have to worry about the bootloader cause it is unlocked forever.
For those who performed the update and are S-ON and want to unlock their bootloader, three solutions :
1- S-OFF your phone with an XTC-Clip
2- Wait for a software S-OFF (they are getting closer and closer)
3- Wait that HTCDev updates its RUU. We should write to them to be sure they are aware of this problem.
Want to get rid of the notifications telling you to update?
1. Download update (to the phone).
2. When the phone asks to install update, plug your phone to the computer in Disk Drive mode.
3. Run Winrar and browse to sdcard/download and enter OTA_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3-2.13.401.2_release_237041qqcw21hxt5vkhdz6.zip.
4. Inside you will find file firmware.zip. Unpack it anywhere.
5. Run Winrar and enter unpacked firmware.zip.
6. Click INFO button and go to SFX label.
7. Click "Remove the already existing module from the archive" and OK.
8. Delete all files except "android-info.txt". Save file (firmware.zip).
9. Replace firmware.zip in original OTA update.
10. Run update in your phone.
11. You will see yellow exclamation mark in triangle which means failure.
12. Remove the baterry for one second.
13. Turn on. Phone will show smtng like "update file is corrupt. download again?" - click NO. Turn off automatic check for updates in settings.

Why is this update bad?
Why is this update bad? (background info)
HTC included it's newest radio and hboot with the update. Actually nothing to worry about, but there's a problem regarding software version numbers.
For example (HTC EU example):
My WFS shipped EU 2.3.3 (sw no. 1.33.401.2)
Then came the FOTA to EU 2.3.5 (sw no. 2.13.401.2)
And some days past a new FOTA (sw no. 2.13.401.3)
the software numbers are the problem here. HTCDEV provides the RUU updater for unlockable hboot only for 2.13.401.2.
As we know, HTC will not allow us to downgrade even a signed ruu. Thus, we will get a main version is older error.
This leads to the conclusions above.
------------------------------------
Will there be a way to re-unlock the phone?
HTC wrote:
Unfortunately once the device has updated to the most recent software it cannot be reverted to the previous update allowing the device to be unlocked. I can escalate this issue as a feature request to see if a further Hboot update can be released in the future for users who may have missed the opportunity to unlock their devices.
I hope that this information meets with your requirements. Should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me again.

I'm not promising anything. I told HTCDEV about the problems in general. Maybe I can get them to provide a RUU for 2.13.401.3 so that everyone who updated this can unlock again. I'm currently negotiating with HTC and waiting for an answer.

I have stock ROM 2.3.5

I use Marvel Auto-Installers. It detect my Marvel.. I press uninstall recovery (HTC original). Then my phone restarts. After booting I shut down and restart with vlume down pressed to check what recovery I have and... surprise: still CWM 5.0.2.8!
Any little help will be appreciated.
Then please download the auto-installers new.
Go to the folder installed the auto-installers and you will find a orig.img and a fastboot.exe
Restart your phone into the fastboot mode and open terminal. Navigate to the fastboot.exe and execute this command:
fastboot flash recovery orig.img
Thanks a lot!
sending 'recovery' <3100KB>... OKAY
writing 'recovery' ... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
Any ideas?

Anyway .. thanks a lot! I give up with this update..
No, this command must work for unlocked bootloader too.
Have you relocked bootloader? Or check if u really unlocked!!!
I don't know how my bootloader is.. My phone is S-Off by XTC Clip and I have a stock ROM 2.3.5 installed in CWM Recovery from a zip file..
Ähm, i think the StockHBOOT does not support the flash recovery command, if i'm right
Or what HBOOTversion you have?

of course it does support. as you see in helbets post. just fastboot rejects flashing. which should not happen if he is s-off
Can anyone confirm whether this updated ROM can be rooted using the usual methods (GingerBreak/ZergRush) ?
Thanks.

I can confirm , done it. Head to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445867 there is solution.
After looking at HTCDev, i noticed that they released a 'Semi S-OFF' for the phone however an update was required and 4 months of waiting is just mind blowingly (not sure if thats a real word) long! After some research i realised that Vodafone Customers got an update in around August, and looking at all these ROMs are just soo tempting Hense 3.5, CM7.2. If you guys think that it wont be coming out in a long while, do you think i can flash another HTC Rom like HTC Europe (for the WFS Of course)
Yes flash the latest Europe ruu to debrand then goto htcdev and do the bootloader unlock stuff.

You'll wait for hell to freeze over before T-Mobile do OTA update. Here's what I did:-
Download an RUU that's closest to yours but suitable for updating. I picked the EU one from the HTC website
Run the RUU (this is if you run Windows) and look for the Windows TEMP folder (usually found under the user folder in Documents and Settings\<User>\Local Settings\Temp) these files will only exist if you leave the RUU Program open, so just open it up and move the window to the side, search under the Temp folder for rom
You will find 2 zip folders named rom_01 and rom_02, copy these 2 zips to your desktop
Now change the name of rom_01 to PG76IMG and copy it over to a microSD, insert into your phone and boot into HBoot, it will go through the normal process of detecting and then opening the zip and will ask you if you wish to update the radio to v2, allow it to do so, and it will do its thing and when completed ask to reboot.
(If you've got an early hboot, check your phone is still S-ON as some people have reported their phones were S-OFF at this stage.)
Now change the name of the second rom to PG76IMG, remove the first file you put on the microSD and replace it with second, back into HBoot, it will read the file and ask you to update HBoot and Radio, allow it to do so and it will update the HBoot, should say OK next to HBoot, once completed it will ask to be rebooted
Phone should now be unlocked and you can follow the link at the bottom of the HTC unlock page for further instructions.

OK I've checked back and I used to TMO UK RUU.
I've extracted the two roms from it and placed them here:

http://www.zen202900.zen.co.uk/phone/TMO_RUU/rom_01.zip
Awsome! I'm outside right now but I think the hboot version is 1.03.XXX I think
Edit
Is there supposed to be a difference? I flashed it successfully but there's no difference in the UI etc.
They are quite small in size arnt they? 9mb-155mb

I had that issue. You need to downgrade the hboot to 0.90. There is a tutorial here on the forum. It can be done to a uk tmobile s-on phone, I know, that's what I've got. good luck!

I only flashed the rom_2 file and i unlocked my bootloader now so i guess i dont need tmobile and their slow updates
Hey Guys!
I wanted to put a custom rom on my wildfire s, kevinjoa's in my mind.
So i Started off by Reading the articles on how to unlock the WFS, to continue further.
I thought ill unlock by using the htc devs method, so i created an id there, etc etc, selected my device and then came across this
BEFORE beginning the Unlock Bootloader process your product requires that you update the ROM to the version listed in the table below first, then download the RUU next to it to enable the unlocking capability.
NOTE: If you do not find your ROM version in the table below, and your ROM version is newer, then your device does not require the RUU. Please bypass these steps and continue to the next page.

Now, as My Hboot Version is 1.03.0000 , which is not listed in the htcdevs unlocked bootloader page, and moreover im confused as to what to do here, there are some posts to downgrade from 1.03.0000 to 0.90.0000(i think) , so is there any way i can unlock my phone with hboot 1.03.0000? and i uploaded the pic of my Recovery! Please help me guys! what do u think should i do?
or do u think my ROM doesn't require an RUU update? can i bypass this step?
Thanks in Advance

You require a higher HBOOT(a newer version), check if there is an OTA update..........or use an RUU
It's because the commands needed for unlocking aren't supported by older HBOOTs

Csoulr666, Thank you so much for replying!
I'll do that OTA update asap and post what happens!
And to use an ruu, how will i know which exact version to select while downloading?

For an RUU use a version that is higher and the closer to your country. For eg- If you bought your phone somewhere in Europe, use an EU version
You can always use the WWE(worldwide) version......But i'd recommend the EU one no matter where you are 'cause it is the most updated of all
csoulr666, bro i decided to go with either the europe WWE one, or Htc asia WWE one, cause the phone was brought from within asia.
another thing is , il download these RUU's from HTC Dev"s website itself right?
A little confused here
downloaded both Europe RUU which is around 6MB
Asia WWE RUU is like 25.5MB
downloaded from HTCdev.
How is it that when EU is Updated than the rest is smaller than that of the Asia'n RUU? :silly:

If you download via htcdev then use the Asia version....
And as for your question, size can vary according to how much of changes or additions are needed
