Hi,
While searching for the latest desire radio, I found this RUU.
http :// hotfile.com/dl/79556297/13c71a1/ruu.bravo.froyo.htc.wwe.2.29.405.2.radio.32.49.00.32u.5.11.05.27.release.151783.signed.exe.html
I have no idea who uploaded it. I have not yet tested it. I searched forum for it but nothing came up. Is there anyone using it? Or, can any advanced member check the RUU if it is legit and inform us about the update?
I could not find any link from htc.com to verify file.
Thanks,
yasin
OOoo, interesting
Downloading now, will see what's going on - looks legit though. I've posted it in the Dev forum too for people to look at

Very adventurous of you! To bad about the sense thing : (
I did flash it using the PB99IMG.zip as opposed to HTC Sync and the like as it was quicker...might just go back to my HD ROM, though
What is the benefit of renaming rom.zip in RUU to PB99IMG.zip and updating via it?
Sorry, I am a newbie and I really don't know the difference with flashing with RUU and zip file.
It's more direct, you don't have to faff about with Windows saying it's disconnected, etc...
How do you cut out just the Rom ? I hate RUUs dam Linux sorry I hate Windows only got it on my note book for my unlocking box's

-Start the RUU
-Once at the first warning screen, go to Start>Run and type
%temp%
and click OK
-Go to the newest folder and you'll find the ROM.zip in there
-Rename it PB99IMG and copy it to the root of the SD card
-Turn the phone on holding volume down to get to HBOOT and it'll find the file and start the update process

In this way it flash the ROM as an update? Or I will lost app ecc?
This still wipes the phone, just doesn't need Windows once you have the ZIP file

If you just get the RUU, extract the ZIP from it and copy it to your sd card you can just do it. No drivers needed bar the generic one to read the sd card
Could also try this if you use Linux...

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.

Just to be sure...
After putting 1.30 rom, I try to put 1.33 on update in recovery, and also, only BOOTLOADER and RADIOs got updated.
So, if you want to debrand, you need to use 1.30, then try to update your system over air (OTA) to newest version. I think that will be easier.

Hi everybody,
Good Morning. I Installed Tamil Unicode Font app on my rooted HTC wildfire S. That caused something wrong with the device. Now the phone shows the brand name with sound again and again (15-20 seconds Interval) when switched ON. The problem is I didn't have back up, since i rooted (@ htcdev.in) few days back only. I have installed CWM 5.0.2.6, Superuser, ROM tool box, busybox. Using Android 2.3.5, ROM ver is 2.13.720.1, HBOOT-1.08.0099.
What caused my device to boot again.?
CAN ANYONE HELP/SUGGEST METHODS OR LINKS ON HOW TO GET BACK MY DEVICE ...?
or
How to remove the FONT APP (that caused the to REBOOT) from the device...?

My HTC Wildfire S has got stuck in boot-loops a few times, when a flash has gone wrong, for whatever reason. The only way I got mine back on track was to use Rezo's All-in-one tool to flash CWM Recovery, and go from there.

There is a file called runme.bat. Run it.
Menu after that is self-explanatory... you probably want option 10, "Install CWM Recovery". Do it, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Let it do its thing, and then hey presto, you have ClockworkMod Recovery installed. Your phone should automatically boot into it, so make sure you have the ROM you want to flash ready in ZIP format on your MicroSD card. Use the Volume Up/Volume Down softkeys to navigate the menus... you need to select "Install a ZIP from SD-Card", and then select to browse the SD card to find the zip... you use the search softkey to select items, rather than the power button. Browse to the ROM ZIP, and select it, let it flash it to your phone, and you have your ROM.
I Got back my Device !!! Thanks to all...
OMG !!!
I Got Back my HTC WildFire S, after 8 days of hopeless and restless !!.
But I never lost the confidence and keep trying (on the right track).

Hello all,
My wife has the Virgin Mobile version (CDMA) HTC One V. She wanted me to install a new ROM for her. I've had ROMs on it before, but she got the OTA from Virgin Mobile and didn't tell me. Well I've been trying to put all sorts of different ROMs on it, and everyone has had the bootloop bug. I traced it down to the radio being updated to 1.00.00.0928. I've found posts saying to get the RUU, extract the rom.zip and rename it to PK76IMG then put that in the root of the SD card, then let HBOOT take care of it. It fails every time. Flashing recovery_signed.img and then running the RUU also fails. Well, come to find out my HBOOT version is 1.57 and as far as I can tell I'm screwed.
Am I screwed guys? I mean do I have any options in getting a working phone out of this? I'd be happy just to get it back to stock, but at this point it's looking like I have a nice paperweight that lights up.
If there is any help or info you guys could give me I'd be very appreciative. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. Sadly, I've already tried that. Same sort of error. It gets through the signature check and then when it reaches the HBOOT part of the installation it gives me the error saying I have the incorrect version of the RUU, but I'm using the same RUU I've used in the past with no issues.
I really don't have a good answer. Maybe try one of the new ion kernel ROMs that support the new radio

My wife has the Virgin Mobile version (CDMA) HTC One V. She wanted me to install a new ROM for her. I've had ROMs on it before, but she got the OTA from Virgin Mobile and didn't tell me. Well I've been trying to put all sorts of different ROMs on it, and everyone has had the bootloop bug. I traced it down to the radio being updated to 1.00.00.0928. I've found posts saying to get the RUU, extract the rom.zip and rename it to PK76IMG then put that in the root of the SD card, then let HBOOT take care of it. It fails every time. Flashing recovery_signed.img and then running the RUU also fails. Well, come to find out my HBOOT version is 1.57 and as far as I can tell I'm screwed.
Am I screwed guys? I mean do I have any options in getting a working phone out of this? I'd be happy just to get it back to stock, but at this point it's looking like I have a nice paperweight that lights up.
If there is any help or info you guys could give me I'd be very appreciative. Thanks in advance.

Before you RUU back to stock make sure you relock your bootloader by fastboot oem lock then go back go fastboot and launch the RUU

There was just another ota on virgin other than the new radio one...it may be the cause of the problem. Crappy part is it adds nothing, just have to stick with beyond's or Simon's codefirex. Also someone just uploaded a kernel that works with the new radio for myone, I highly recommend it.

Also if you want to return you need to relock the phone (as said before) flash back the stock recovery (you did that) AND flash back the ORIGINAL kernel (nobody said that but this is needed too).
You can get the stock kernel from the RUU you have downloaded the same way as the recovery image. Search for the boot.img or boot_signed.img and of course flash it from fastboot mode.
Try it, hopefully it will work.

I don't think u need to flash the original kernel just the recovery as the RUU installs the original kernel for you

I know you have to relock... I've flashed the ruu at least 3 times on mine and my sister's I was just saying because there is another ota update, not just the one updating the radio. But another one after as well that comes with this sprint 4g message. I'll try and downgrade again for the sake of curiosity. I'll get back to you guys soon.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, but I'm still unable to get it back to stock. The HBOOT in the RUU is older than the one on the phone so it won't allow the RUU to work.
Is there a way to rollback/downgrade the HBOOT?

Yes, so your hboot and radio are updated
is this the ruu you used?
RUU_PRIMO_C_ICS_40A_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.08.652.6_Radio_1.00.00.0521_2_NV_VM_3.46_0503_PRL61008_release_262414_signed.exe

That's the ruu I usually use, and I can confirm...after the latest ota on virgin you won't be able to downgrade back. It updates the hboot.

That is messed up if they aren't able to downgrade this

It wouldn't be too bad if we could get Simon's radio fix on every kernel, the data speeds are noticeably faster with the otas so I don't mind much.

Yeah that's the one. Unless I'm mistaken it's the only one available to download.
Same Problem
Nothing substantial to add. Just wanted to say that I'm experiencing the exact same problem. I've got the CDMA HTC One V that I flashed with the latest RhythmicROM. It booted up fine but quickly manifested the boot loop. I tried restoring to my CWM backup, but that gets stuck in the boot loop too (does that sound right?) I followed the instructions in the "ROM Randomly Rebooting?" thread in the General Forum, but encountered the same error when trying to run the RUU. I used the following RUU: (RUU_PRIMO_C_ICS_40A_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.08.652.6_Radio _1.00.00.0521_2_NV_VM_3.46_0503_PRL61008_release_2 62414_signed.exe). I have the updated radio (updated to 1.00.00.0928), and the updated HBOOT (1.57).
A couple people have mentioned ROMs that support the new radio. Can someone let us know exactly which ones those are?
Thanks!
Edit:
Just noticed that the RhythmicROM does say it has support for the new radio. I didn't add that up until just now. I'm hoping that it will work.
Edit 2:
I was able to get the Rhythmic ROM working successfully with the OTA Fix that is listed and linked to in his thread. The OTA_fix.zip file contains an updated version of boot.img that I flashed (using fastboot) after installing the ROM.
Simon's and beyond's codefirex both work, as does the cdma myone. It just depends on the kernel you can use for the rom. Most devs started using Simon's fix so we should be pretty good moving forward.

So I've been trying some of the ROMs and kernels you guys suggested. They boot into Android and I get a popup that says Android is updating... optimizing file 1 of 394 or whatever... It gets through a few of those and reboots. I let it go all the way through until there were no more files that needed to be optimized and... reboots endlessly.
