RUU update for T-Mobile UK -- no root!!!!

I performed the update on my brand new HTC Hero and I found out I am stuck in the middle of nowhere with no chance to root until somebody fixes the problem. During my reading, I tried almost everything, and the closest I got was to try and flash an update.zip with the original ROM back onto my device. Yet, at the moment of truth just a stupid white triangle with an exclamation mark appeared instead of the other icon meaning the thingh is working. I can't wait to root for a number of reasons, if I am getting this wrong and there actually IS another solution please help :-((
Ciao!

Hi mate,
I'm new to the Android OS and just got my hero as well. The first thing I did with it was to update the firmware (as recommended by Orange). Little did I know that this would prevent me from rooting.
I've tried several steps:
1. The One-Step Root Process
2. Flashing an image with the SDK
3. Rolling back to a previous version of the RUU
Nothing works, anyone have any ideas about how to get round this problem or if there's a way to 'un-update' the device, please help!
FYI: I have an HTC Hero on Orange UK running the latest HTC firmware, unrooted http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VZHT389eR4
Thanks in advance.

if your phone is NOT CID locked (no clue about orange) you can go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622
and download an older RUU (1.76.405.1_R3) and downgrade, then root and upgrade.
problem obviously is that this only works if your phone is not cid locked, or somebody find away to bypass the cid check on the ruu process or finds a way to do this

Thanks
Thanks for the link, I'll take a look into it.

closing this one as currently it can't be solved.

Three said that they weren't releasing 1.28 but were working on the 'next update' instead.. but we got it pushed today

I spoke to three today about the update the said they dont know when it will come out its still in testing, I said to give their guys a poke as the 1.28 fixes many major problems especially the screen bouncing software bug.
Chances are that had nothing to do with it but hey I like to think it helped

Guys, what about the 1.26 RUU?

RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_H3G_UK_1.26.771.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13H_release_251403_signed.exe is the file name I found it by googling the other day, cant remember the link now as im in work. If you really struggle I can upload it someplace when I get home.

Found 2 dead links but found one working from a german site???
Here is a link- http://uploaded.to/file/b4rffixe/from/fkny6j

Any joy with this? I'm wanting to go back to stock but can't as no 1.28 RUU

Doesn't work as my hboot (I think) is too new now after flashing a 1.29 custom rom.
Fails on the update.

how do you revert when that happens

I don't know where RUU's originally come from however I have emailed three asking them to provide the 1.28 RUU.

RUU
I have a problem with my one x that whenever i try to play a sound (whether music, video or choosing a ringtone) it crashes, i'm thinking the RUU will solve that, any news yet on if/when they are releasing it?

Mate, you need to flash boot.img from the thread you downloaded the rom from. It'll stop all your issues.

Thanks I also needed one since my phone has some grip of death that not only flexes but turns the screen off (loose flex cable perhaps).
Just came home now and this download was for 1.26 Work PC isn't able to use these links.
I need for 1.28.771.9

Orange Branded Update 1.29.061.11 35.74Mb

Just released and downloading now

Yes, I've picked this up too. Upgrade went smoothly, now waiting to see what gets better and what breaks...

Nice to hear that - my operator sucks ... vodafone is this time so damn slow ....

Maps live wallpaper still crashes...

Quite impressed with Orange - they're consistently only a week or so behind the unbranded release.
Downloading it now.....

1.29.061.11So what's new Pussycats?
Anyone got a link to the changelog??

There is NEVER a changelog for OTA updates, at least not from HTC - when will people remember this!!
The ONLY one I've ever seen was for the unbranded 1.29.401.7 OTA - you can read it here:
http://www.htc.com/uk/help/htc-one-x/#download

Orange do seem better these days with updates maybe its just because this phone is more upgradeable than my old desire.
Just downloading my update as I type.

Nice surprise to start the weekend o/
Installed smoothly.

My phone had ruu 1.29.061.11 however I bricked my phone and I need to find this RUU so I can save it. But I cannot find the full RUU anywhere

I have a copy of a non upgrading orange uk ruu. 1.26.061.2.
PM me and I'll upload it somewhere for a day or so.

Thanks but I have tried this RUU and it failed. I have been told this because it wont allow you to install an older RUU then you already have. I really need the 1.29.061.11 or newer RUU because this is what my phone had before I messed it up.
(This is where I read this)
' Note that the RUUs will all function on any of the phones, but the CID locking prevents you from 'debranding' your phone by installing a generic [[#RUU]]. Additionally, the CID-related software also prevents you from installing an older RUU than what you are currently running.'-The android dictionary

hmmmm. Well I started with 1.26.061.5 and was able to install .2

hmm maybe its only the '1.26' or the '1.29' that need to go up. Also would you know if It makes a difference if the bootloader is locked or unlocked when installing a ruu?

I imagine you're supposed to reflash the generic recovery and relock but I'd have to go have a read.
I've been holding off rooting myself in the hope of discovering s-off.

I will just have to wait for the latest orange ruu to be uploaded

My HOX is v.1.15? Can't update it to 1.29.

I am enjoying my new One X, but I have some minor issues with it. The phone I got is a prize from HTC after I won a competition they conducted. I picked up my phone myself from their office and found out that the phone I got is a demo phone, the one that comes in red bubble wrap. When I checked the software number on my phone, it showed a version number of 1.15.401.1 while the latest here in the Philippines is 1.29. Anyway, the thing is, I can't update the phone. Whenever I try to update it, it says that there are no available updates for my phone. I've already tried calling HTC and contacting their email support but I am not getting any straight answers, all they're saying is to regularly check for updates. Is there any other way to update it? Like, is there a "1.29 firmware version file" here in xda that I can download and install? Any reply regarding my issue would be of great help! Thank you!

If you have Fastboot files, can you issue a
Fastboot getvar all
And copy the output here? You can find fastboot files in the development section

Search for 1.29.401.11 RUU and try that, there is a thread here with all ENDEAVOR RUUs on filefactory.

Similar sort of thing, I have a Telecom NZ One X and it's on 1.26. Telecom NZ are taking far too long to update.
Can I flash a stock unbranded ROM and have it update as per that ROM?
I don't want to have to reflash for each update, I want it to update OTA when new updates for that ROM are released.
Possible? I really hope so, 1.26 is so crap on battery that I can't use it as much as my Desire :crying:

I'd say you need to find an Endeavour RUU, Ask Mike1986, I think I saw somewhere that he has one.
Try unlocking the Boot Loader and then flashing the latest 2.05.401.2 ARHD Rom onto the phone, then it's rooted and it's basically all stock.

Not without S-OFF, no. You'd have to go custom

Need help updating phone... H3G User.

Im on the same version of Android since i got the phone, the bootloader is unlocked with S-ON and it has been working fine since i got it. I heard 5.1 had been released, is there a H3G RUU for the new version or can i use the Europeon one.. my CID Num is H3G__001.
Because i am rooted it says it cant check for updates, can anyone tell me what i can do?
I thought about restoring the original software RUU and then updating, but what if my service provider hasnt released the update, unless their is another H3G M9 user on the forum who can tell me different.
Thanks.

Your best bet is to S-OFF, then Super CID. After you have done that just restore the newest WWE RUU. That way you're on the latest version and can continue to receive any new updates a lot sooner - none of that waiting for the network to release the update. Especially with marshmallow round the corner.

Other than the way you stated not really. If you don't want to go S-OFF then you'll need to restore stock and update, then root again.

Hey there buddy.
What the chance you backed up your stock H3G recovery.
I flashed TWRP and forgot to take a backup, now can't flash the update.
I posted in this forum asking in anyone had the UK H3G stock recovery but no answers.
Cheers.
