If you have unlocked via HTCDev the this would have removed your CID in which case yes you should be able to flash the WWE RUU on a branded device.
If you have not unlocked and are still running stock then no it wont work.

Does HTCDev unlock remove CID? Unless it changed to 11111111 you still won't be able to flash an RUU AFAIK

It does indeed. It doesn't change it to 1111111 it completely removes it altogether.
I re locked the bootloader the other day and re-flashed the WWE RUU as im sending it back (screen flickering problem) and it worked with no issues.

Vodafone Australia
I am Vodafone Australia and unlocked my phone via HTCdev. I am also facing the same problem (screen flickering)and need to send it back. I have re-locked it. As you just said "I re locked the bootloader the other day and re-flashed the WWE RUU as im sending it back" can you please explain how did you re-flash the WWE RUU? steps or link?

You need to get the vodafone au ruu. General wwe releases will not work for you. Pretty sure the correct ruu is available in the dev section.
Can't link, posting from phone.

Stock RUU for 1.28 needed
Hi there
I have effectively killed my HTC one - I unlocked via htcdev and upgraded the recovery - fastboot shows the device id when running the command fastboot devices.
However I am now stuck in a boot loop where the phone only boots to hboot (following a failed boot.img flash) I have downgraded back to stock recovery and re locked but cant find the 1.28 RUU to recover the device (and I did try the RUU for 1.26 but it wouldnt install)
Once I updated te recovery i ran the fastboot boot boot.img command
This failed to progress past the 'htc quietly brilliant' flash screen.
I dont have the rom .zip saved on my internal memory on the phone - I was hoping to be able to push it to the /data/ partition however when I try this sdb returns no connected device.
Wonder if anyone can assist in either
a - returning to stock with a RUU for 1.28
or
b - advise how to flash the files I need onto the phone (it seems that the ROM isnt booting so I assume its from the point I install boot.img and beyond I need so help)
Unfortunately I cant get the phone to boot to copy files to the memory so need to work entirely in fastboot and adb (assuming adb wil recognise the handset)
Many thanks
Gurry

But relocking it puts it back so unless you were on HTC__001 you'd be back on the VODAP001 CID

[Q] Question on going back to Official ROM

Hi Guys
I have the One X Middle East Version (HTC__J15).
It came from the factory with 1.26.401.2 which is the European ROM because HTC i guess did not have Middle East specific rom when the phone was released.
I unlocked the phone on HTCDEV and installed a custom ROM. I am now trying to go back to the official ROM but the phone is not accepting the official 1.26.401.2
I tried to change the CID in fastboot to european but i am getting the "too many links" error and fastboot freezes so i have to switch the phone off then on again
tried to relock the bootloader and install the 1.26.401.2 but no luck
any one came across this problem ? was anyone successful in changing their CID after they unlocked on HTCDEV ? Thank

[Q] Stuck on boot "htc" logo

Hi
I searched the forum but I cannot find how to unbrick my Wildfire S...
The problem is like this:
Android 2.3.5, hboot 1.08, bootloader unlocked, rooted and link2sd installed. Recently from link2sd I converted the system file "com.htc" (i don't remember how it was called correctly, I just know that it was the biggest system file) into user file and after I restarted the phone, it got on bootloop (htc quietly brilliant logo) it just restarted itself..
I tried to fix but I couldn't so I sent it to service repair..
After a month they told me that they cannot repair it.
Now I see it that the hboot is 0.9 and when I turn it on, it hangs on white screen with green htc logo..
I tried to repair like this but no luck:
RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2_Radio_47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.39.03M_release_225747_signed ERROR [140]:BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR

Tried to update hboot with this: PG7610000_Marvel_hboot_1.08.0099_20111216 but I get this error: ERROR [190]: ROM IS NOT UPDATED Your ROM is not the latest version. Please upgrade to 2.13.401.2 to apply this RUU to be able to unlock your bootloader.
Somewhere I see the solution is goldcard but I cannot create a goldcard.
I also tried flashing from sdcard with PG76IMG.ZIP but I get this error: Main version is older! Update Fail!
Any suggestions please?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25375379

I tried that, I tried everything..
But the problem is that my phone won't switch on so I cannot create a goldcard and I cannot use adb to flash misc partition...
I also tried flashing from sd card with PG76IMG.zip but no luck

This is what I get on hboot:
MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL

In the 1st post you said you have hboot 1.08 and unlocked.. How did you downgrade it to 0.90.0000? There's something wrong

Yes that's right it was 1.08 but when I got it from service repair I saw that they downgraded to 0.9 but they didn't managed to boot it up..

Did you try running an ruu?

Yes I tried but everytime I get this ERROR [140]:BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR

If you have an A510e/Marvel, this should get 2.13.401.3 flashed:
[GUIDE]How to update HTC Wildfire S/Marvel/A510e/GSM to Software Version 2.3.5
You've already tried procedure 1 and 2 so try 3.

In first post I mentioned that I tried 2.13.401.3 but no luck, now I also tried the virgin rom but it says CID incorrect, man I tried every rom but with every rom no luck

tried changing the cid to 11111?

As far as I know I cannot change the cid if I'm S-ON, anyway I tried and I get error..

I think that I found where is the problem but I don't know how to resolve it...
When I run RUU it tells me that the current version of image on phone is 11.33.401.2 and because of that I think that I cannot update it because RUU thinks that the image on phone is newer than the one that I want to flash and because of that it gives me error.
So the question is: Does somebody know how I can change the version on RUU to be for example 12.13.401.3 so it can be updated....????
Here's the pic that I get..
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40681700/RUU.PNG

I managed to change the version on android-info.txt but now I get ERROR 132 SIGNATURE ERROR

Search the dev section for bootloader set superversion. This allows you to set your s/w number to 0.0.0.0 so you can install any RUU

Yes I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530864 but the first option is via changing the misc partition but I need adb and I'm stuck on fastboot and cannot use adb.. and the other option is the bootloadertool but I don't know how to flash that tool I tried with fastboot update but no luck nor with fastboot flash...

have it s-offed by an xtc clip and you will have, access to read write execute on the device, I mean flash anything hboots ruu roms etc. also flash a clockworkmod.
com.htc file your saying is just a file, so your phone is not actually brick, also if you have 0.90 hboot, you search the chinese guide to s-off the device w/o xtc clip. like flashing rom1.zip except rom2.zip something like that, go to bbs.anzhi.com/bbs.xda.cn/bbs.gfan.com use google translate.
gud luck

That's the problem, in my country I cannot find xtc clip and I'm still searching for it..
xtc clip is the 100% solution but I cannot find one

Ok I'll search it for ya, wait a min. btw read my previous post.

read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457992&highlight=possible+s-off I'll look for the other thread.

I think that I found xtc clip in a neighborhood city....
Going to make it s-off...

How can I fix my desire - no Recovery but working fastboot

Hi guys,
I have a HTC Desire, S-ON () with HBOOT 1.02.0001 which will boot into fastboot but won't enter recovery. When I try to boot into recovery, it shows the HTC logo on white but never progresses and I have to pull the battery. On a normal boot, the device will vibrate 7 times in succession and never makes it past the HTC logo.
I was trying to fix up the device using an RUU but it failed mid-way through and now I'm wondering what my options are, as I only have fastboot working.
If I can get a working recovery then I can flash a ROM from there.
Thanks in advance

Flash the 2.3 RUU.

I was using the wrong RUU before but I've located the correct one, Vodafone 2.33.161.2 which is the current device version, and the RUU just hangs at 'Updating Signature'. It does eventually fail with error 155, Unknown error, suggesting an incorrect RUU or ROM.
Any idea where I'm going wrong? Will a goldcard allow me to flash the 2.3 RUU from HTC?

with the 2.3 gb upgrade u do NOT need a goldcard, thats why abaaaabbbb63 suggested it. click bortaks guide in my sig and go down to resourses and download the 2.3 gb upgrade ruu from there. it wont do u any harm in reading the guide aswell

I'm following the steps in bortaks guide under section [2], but the linked RUU fails. Unfortunately it's a PVT3 device so I can't use some of the other options in the guide.

What does it say? Is it a radio fail?

like abaaaabbbb63 said what fails? did u run the ruu but it failed? did u create a goldcard before running the ruu? why havnt u still not tried the 2.3gb upgrade? what does it say in bootloader? no one can help if u just post it failed.

Sorry, I wasn't being very clear.
I've tried the 2.3 GB from HTC and that fails with the 131 CID Error which is why I though that I needed to use a goldcard.
The Vodafone RUU (126338) that has the same version as the device (2.33.161.2) fails with 155 unknown error.
I'm going to try and make a goldcard and run the 2.3 from HTC.

u shouldnt get cid error with the 2.3gb upgrade coz it bypasses the cid check, thats why it was suggested. u 100% sure u used the 2.3gb upgrade?

You were right, I have so many RUUs I was trying to flash the wrong one.
The 2.3 RUU flashes the recovery, radio, system image and then fails with Error [152]: IMAGE UPDATE ERROR.
Unplugging the device on the RUU's recover screen as instructed shows the RUU output:
[1] RADIO_V2 - FAIL PU
Items 2-9 are listed as OK
Partition update fail!
Update Fail!
Here's a photograph of the screen - http://imgur.com/PK5jBJb

What you have there is a radio brick. The only thing you can do now is repeat the RUU process with the 2.3 one, and hope that it will eventually work.

I thought as much.
It won't even install the 2.3 RUU now, fails with signature error. I'm at the 4 corners exclamation mark screen.

[HELP] HTC 10 bootloop on Bootloader Mode

Hi everybody,
I'm sorry, I'm sure this question may be asked so much time, but after 1 hour searching I don't find anything usefull for me... (Maybe a keywork issue ?)
I don't know what I've done, but after I locked again the bootloader in order to flash on a RUU, I blocked my HTC 10 and can't boot on android again.
When I tried it the phone is only going to bootloader mode and don't want to get to my Os. I have TWRP and was on the custom LeeDroid 7.0.
I can't backup or do anything and while i try the dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota on the terminal, it won't work...
And I can't unlock again the phone, I've tried and it's "relocked".
Has someone have the same issues ? Really need your help ! :crying:
Thank you !

Why did you even lock the bootloader to flash a RUU? Is that mandatory? Sticking with Lee is always a better idea .
You might wanna try using a RUU.exe to get your OS back. What firmware and model do you currently have?

Yes it was lol...
But i've read that it was better to be on a locked bootloader to flash ruu :crying:

Yes, you need to lock the bootloader to flash an RUU.
Some people like custom roms, some want to go back to stock.
From the bootloader you can go to download mode and get the unlock token and try the process again to unlock, I would guess. Beyond that, I'm assuming the RUU screwed up somewhere. It is generally not possible to flash an RUU unless the phone matches the RUU's CID and MID parameters. And if it didnt work, the RUU wont have gotten far enough to do any damage.

And i got an error 155 (ERROR UPDATING IMAGE) can't update your android phone.

so you can't flash ruu with a unlocked bootloader?? thats odd...people use rru to get back to stock after running custom rom and you shouldn't lock bootloader with custom firmware bc it supposedly bricks you...or is download mode still operatable?
edit: i just flashed an ruu to check and can confirm ruu worked with unlocked bootloader and s-on.

Fair enough, advice I followed at the time suggested I relock bootloader to do an RUU. Being S-ON or OFF doesn't matter.
However, since there was no RUU for my CID (H3G__001) I had to S-OFF in order to change my CID to WWE (HTC__001) to flash that RUU. My phones status at the time was S-OFF, Relocked. It worked fine. It also worked fine under those same conditions after I changed my CID to BS_US001 and MID to 2PS6500000.

The download mode works, bootloader too
I'm not able to flash with an unlocked or a locked bootloader, i've tried the RUU and the custom ROM like Leedroid for example.

I don't think it's the US MID, my IMEI is German and the phone works great on 4G / LTE in France (where I live) and i've read that 4G won't work with an US version in France, but maybe you're true and their is no RUU for my version ... (fragmentation pleasures).
Do you know how i can s-off this phone in order to change those CID which block me ? ^^' because i can't use sunshine bc no OS installed and can't flash one ...
In fact, the only think i can flash / unflash is TWRP and the recovery stock..
