RUU means Rom Update Utility. You download it, plug your phone to the USB to your pc then run the RUU on your pc. It leads you through the update and is straightforward.

[Q] Problem in bootloader? + want to restore to stock rom

Hi guys
I installed a few custom roms into my dhd in the last few days. I had to downgrade to the 1.3X version of stock rom to do this. I got tips from the xda post.
After this whenever i go to bootloader, i see that the
bootloader is searching for the ruu rom. If i put the ruu zip file in sd card, it will try to do an install. Is there something wrong with my bootloader? Please advice.
I also want to try and restore the phone to the stock condition. (No gripes with custom roms. Just want to give this a try) Will an ruu flash the old recovery back in? Or should i do this seperately? And what about the radio? Will it come with ruu?
I use a goldcard now. Will it void my warranty if i dont remove it? I dont have ruu roms specific to india with me.
Please help me out. Searched the forum but :-(

1-maybe not, only that u need to re-name the file to "update.zip" or pd98img.zip..
depending that you want to do..
2-yes, an original ruu flashes the originalk recovery...(u can´t do anything in this recovery...)
3-radio not comming with the RUU or with a custom rom... you should to flash it apart... via fastboot or with a tool..
4-goldcard don´t removes your warranty... its maded into the sd card- remove it or format... and gold card dissapears
5-If u don´t found An official RUU for your country... always can enjoy the WEE ruu (generic) without problems...
Thanks Sergi.
But why is the bootloader searching for the zip? I think the downgrade process caused this issue.
Or will all bootloaders search for the zip?
How did you get the name pd98img.zip? My bootloader is indeed searching for this zip file! I never mentioned it in my post
edit:: A few more hours in the forum gives me the impression that all bootloaders will search for this file. Am I right?
Also the RUU has a radio in the name of the file. Should I flash this radio seperately using fastboot?
I see a link to RUU PD98IMG_Ace_hTC_Asia_India_1.84.720.3_Radio_12.28g .60.140f_26.05.05.27_M3_release_175158_signed.zip. Why is the radio name in the file? Will it have the radio inside or should I flash the same radio separately?
I installed RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.3_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.15_M3_release_155032_signed and you know what. Even the radio got changed!!!

AAAH ok ok you tried an .exe pack... I forgot to tell you that this is the exception.. sorry... This RUU'S goes with his own recommended radio... Are the original htc roms pure..
sent from my amstrad CPC powered by LOL..(premium xda)
And yes.. bootloader always search pd98img...but then shows you the menu true??its normal.. this file can reflaah your phone if anything goes badly...
sent from my amstrad CPC powered by LOL..(premium xda)
Yes all set!!
what I did was to flash with a 1.32(non indian) version first, temp root it, then remove the radio S OFF.
Then I flashed it with the 1.84 indian version, and all set!!
Thank you!!
One more question, will the RUU exe flash the kernel as well?
Another question too.. Will multiple flashing and reflashing harm the phone in anyways?

Why do you think you need to downgrade your hboot? What benefits do you expect to gain from doing so?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
as rootsu said, theres no benefits
but if you really want to then head over to the alpharev site and download the hboot downgrader, flash that either by fastboot or the pb99img.zip method, then run a froyo ruu
I already tried using the hboot downgrader but it didn't work.
I also tried unrevoked...
Thank you all for your help

what bugs have you found?
you cant do that, but you can go to http://revolutionary.io and flash a custom hboot, then you can decide if you want to:
1) Flash the downgrader.img and run a Froyo RUU to remain stock OR
2) Flash custom recovery (and root or flash custom ROM)
What is the ultimate goal? You want to be rooted and with custom ROM?

Is there a way to S-on again ? or change HBOOT?
I try to downgrade but I still have the S-OFF hboot 6.093.1002.
Thank you
only way to s-on is to flash downgrader.img then run RUU. S-off is good though.

I tried several times but it did not work...
The procedure succeed when the downgrde is down I can read "[2] boot loader = bypassed"... others are OK
I tried also other think... flashing with different RUU Roms, works every time except the boot that didn't change...
Did you succeed overwriting the hboot after s-off on time?
I think I will leave it so
Thank you for the time you gave me

I followed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
Windows Installation
0. Install HTC Sync (driver required).
1. Extract the downloaded zip file fully (do not just click on the zip file).
2. Enable USB debugging on your phone. Ensure 'ask me' is set under 'Connect to PC' setting with 'charge only'. Plug in your phone.
3. Double-click on the win-down file.
4. Follow instructions and wait.
I also used this one, don't know if it is the same
http://alpharev.nl/PB99IMG_downgrade.zip
Same problem
If I didn't use the right method, please let me know and explain me if possible.
Thank you.

Hey, take a look at this two site - Revolutionary tool (the evolution of the unrevoked tool)
revolutionary.io/
unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
I was able to re-root my desire with Android 2.3.3 & Hboot 1.02.001
I left trying to downgrade hboot and I install last leedroid HD, it seems to work (little bit slow). Strange thing, I can not flash the last radio...
Thank you all for your help.

Thats u stuck in RUU mode. All u got to do is flash the correct RUU for ur device or flash the 2.3 gb upgrade from htc dev. Are u s-on or s-off?
heres the link for the 2.3 gb upgrade as exe
2.3 gb upgrade
EDIT: why did u make 2 threads??
If you're S-Off and rooted, then install a custom ROM. There is a whole section devoted to that. BTW, while flashing an RUU, follow all the steps correctly. AND FIND YOUR OWN VERSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Q] Can't flash the device to stock rom using RUU

Hi,
I'm trying to restore from custom rom to stock rom.
My phone is CID ORANG216 and I'm using xx.xx.65.xx RUU releases.
I have 2 relevant files:
The RUU exe - RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_Orange_CH-Generic_2.17.65.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_275590_signed.exe
OTA UPDATE for the device - OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_Orange_CH-Generic_3.16.65.2-2.17.65.2_release_296426gf2xgpisn8xs0fti
After flashing the stock recovery, boot_signed.img, rebootRUU, the RUU update fails because of version failure, I suspect that the HBOOT version is the trouble maker.
My phone is unlocked with S-ON with HBOOT 1.36 and the HBOOT in the RUU is 1.12 .
Due to S-ON I cant change the hboot.
I can't seem to find a workaround for it and install the RUU.
Any ideas??
I even thought about compiling the latest JB release from htcdev development center and flash it...

You need to relock the bootloader to use install RUU . It has nothing to do with hboot . Just take note that you have to use the RUU that is on the same build or higher .

doesn't work... I'm getting "Error [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR"
The only RUU exe available is the one i mentioned and its old
I don't know how to use the OTA file without the original stock rom already installed...
if it helps anything the command "fastboot getvar version-main" on my device gives:
version-main: 3.16.65.2

Like I mentioned . You have to look for the version that's the same with yours or higher to use the RUU . I guess you can't go back to stock until you find the RUU of your version or higher . Maybe you could try a stock ROM nand backup ?
Here are stock backups

Just lock your bootloader using fastboot oem lock and run this RUU with admin privileges..

I don't think your questions relate to the subject here.
Anyway, custom roms are based on the stock rom and most of the times include a file called firmware.zip, look it up in the costum_rom.zip file.
hboot updates are tricky on this device and for upgrading it (from ICS to JB supported hboot) you need a special firmware built for your specific htc one x model (look at the manuals for more instructions).
For the battery saving, I think it depends on the rom you install and not the kernel (or maybe both because they come together?), check out for old posts about that issue, I'm sure its not the first time someone asks about it.
hope it helps

[Q] downgrading HBOOT 2.00.0029 to 00.85.0024

Hello,
My DHD is unlocked, S-ON, Rooted, Hboot 2.00.0029, Rom: CyanogenMod 10.1 SR2.
I hope flash a Stock Rom (RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_R_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_233505_signed.exe)
When I do it, I obtain an error 140.
Do I have to downgrade hboot to 00.85.0024 ?
How without dowing S-OFF;
Thanks
did you've already tried flashing it from your bootloader..?
just copy the rom.zip from temp folder of your user name on pc while running that RUU at the next of second step..i mean while you double click of the RUU then you the first prompt that you must thick "Understand blah blah blah.." then click next..you must hold setup at this step..and tried search the rom.zip in your temp folder of your pc and copied to another folder..then rename it to PD98IMG.zip and put in to the root of your sd card..then boot the phone to bootloader mode..wait until bootloader reading and checking the PD98IMG.zip file..then ask you to confirm if you wanna flash it..
hope this help..

sorry...because of your bootloader still s-on..you can't flashing RUU through bootloader..
if i'm not wrong..you just wanna return the phone back to the stock RUU right..?
if that so..you must relock your bootloader first...then find the latest version of the right RUU that suitable with you CID Num of your phone...then flashing it with running RUU.exe
for relock your bootloader..your phone must be in FASTBOOT mode..then connecting it to your pc.. then type fastboot command (w/o quote) "fastboot oem lock"
or alternative way is you can downgrade you bootloader with using AAHK2 script first (off course the downgrade RUU file is must be suitable with your phone CID num too)..then flashing the latest version of the right RUU (suitable with your CID num too)..
sorry not sure about RUU with arabic language..
hope this help..
Hello,
Thank you very much for your answers.
Off course, the Bootloader was relocked before flashing.
I used also, a goldcard, in flashing this stock RUU.
I can flash RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_ARA_3.13.415.2_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_227469_signed.exe, but this stock ROM has 2 languages (English+ Arabic), I need also the French language too.
thanks
