details !! what happens..??..what it says..??
And u can always try to manually integrate the updates from update.zip(downloaded 2 sd via settings->about phone->software update) to ur stock rom and reboot(given that u have development knowledge)..
even so all updates may not work and os may crash too..

i have unrooted my phone.. but still not able to install update.. what to do??
here is the stock recovery, place it in the root of your sd, then power off your phone and remove battery, then replace battery and hold volume down and power button, your device will enter hboot and find the recovery, asking you if you want to update by pressing volume up i think, do this then restart your phone and try update again.
good luck, hope it works for you

is i can do it in unroot phone??
Yes, just follow the instructions above should work, (try it first).
If it doesn't work you may have to unlock your bootloader again, if you were unlocked already you should have your unlock token still, unlock and follow instructions then relock and test.

Well as you can see I updated my wildfire S 2 or 3 days ago with OTA, so now when ever I try to flash the RUU from htcdev.com it fails be because "I Have a newer ROM version [ERROR 191]"
so I extracted the Zip file from the RUU and flashed from SDcard and it worked !
WARNING THIS IS ONLY FOR EU UNLOCKED FOLLOW THIS GUIDE AT YOUR OWEN RESPONSIBILITY
1- Moderator Edit link removed Multiupload is not supported as a file host site on XDA
2-Copy it to your Sdcard
3-Shutdown the phone
4-Start into Bootloader (Volume down + power)
5-Wait for it to Load the Zip file
6-chose yes (volume up)
And your done
now reboot and Delete the Zip file from Sdcard
I have an EU WFS, but getting the 171 error, will this help?
Two questions for you

1. Do you mean that you upgraded to 2.3.5 a couple days ago and that's why it won't flash the RUU? I was assuming I got ERROR 191 because I hadn't upgraded to 2.3.5 yet.
2. Were you getting the exact same message with the error code?
ERROR [191] ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED
Your ROM Version is not currently supported, but there will be an update soon that will be supported. You will receive a notification to update your phone to the latest ROM code.
After you have updated, please run the RUU again to upgrade your HBOOT to unlock your phone. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Incidentally, the part number for my phone is the same as the generic EU phone: PG76100 so your method of installing the ROM should work the same.
Update:
I got through the HBOOT update using the tip posted in this thread. It worked like a charm, so apparently my 2.3.3 Asia ROM wasn't the problem.
So I want to say thanks for the trick also! Tomorrow I'll finish the unlock process tomorrow as it's already after 10:30 PM here.
So unlocked in this case means that only will work with a phone which is S-OFF?

No. It's for S-ON and does not provide S-OFF. Just unlocks HBOOT so you can flash custom recovery, root and flash new rom.

If you look carefully, when choosing WFS, it has a * on the side saying that you have to update your HBOOT.
Anyway...it is not working for me. I put the file on my memory card and boot into the bootloader. it seems to load but I just don't get an option to update.
Thanks a lot! It says HBOOT 1.08.0099 with a LOCKED (OOW) above it.
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: LOVE YA MATE! IT WORKED! I NOW HAVE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER! DDDD
tried this on mine and it says "Can not rollback HBOOT" then it bypasses the hboot update. It updates the radio just fine though.

I already clicked thanks but I want to SAY thanks anyway.
I had my phone with the latest European RUU 2.3.5 but as stated on the HTCDEV.com site I needed the HBOOT update.
I tried to update with the RUU download from HTCDEV.com but I had a crazy error, not like any seen around here.
It wasn't 171 or 191, it just seemed trash.
I'm almost certain that the RUU's that HTC makes aren't prepared for Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 users.
Back then when I updated to 2.3.5 (by football) I had to unzip the RUU and replace some ADB files with newer ones.
With the file extracted and updated it worked. I even posted an updated version here on XDA for people that were having problems like me.
So now that my bootloader is unlocked I will proceed with the next steps.
Still have a long way to go.
Thanks again for your file. It worked like a charm.
thanks now get the missus phone unlocked thanks

But first to install custom recovery and rom i have to s-off my device with the htc dev procedure right? hboot it s not enought

It doesn't S-OFF, it allows u to root, cwm and flash custom roms. It's like a half s-off, because it doesnt allow flashing radio i think.

It s strange,I don t belive it s possible to flash custom recovery and roms without a s-off.Flashing the h-boot it s only a way to have the unlock code in htcdev program,so then we can have s-off and load some stuff
Correct me if I m wrong

It just unlocks the bootloader to give u root access to flash roms. I still have s-on after unlocking the bootloader.

I've got HBOOT 1.08.0099 with a LOCKED (OOW) above, still S-ON, but can't for the life of me seem to find a way to root or load a custom recovery successfully. I've tried numerous ways and I'm afraid if I keep screwing with it something is going to end up bricking the device.

If you have the locked thing, go to htcdev.com, after the page where u select your ruu, tgeres a button below to proceed. So, just follow the instructions from then on.

Hi Guys,
Having Problem in Rooting for my WildFire-A333.
Find Below are my Specifications.And Yes I tried both SuperClick and UnRevoked but it seems doenst work.
Model:HTCWildFire-A333,
S-ON(Unable to do S-OFF),
HBoot:1.02.0000,
Android 2.2.1,
Kernel Version:2.6.32.21-g6c55ee4
HELP!!!!
Thanks
How did you get that hboot, did the phone come with it? Never seen it before. Try to go to revolutionary.io and try to downgrade your hboot so you can s-off. After you have s-off you can then root and custom rom like mad ;-) if you can't downgrade the you can go to htcdev and get your bootloader *unlocked* but that will void your warrenty and they will definitely know about it.

Looks like you have updated the HBOOT from HTCDev site.
If yes you can use HTCDev site Bootloader unlock tool to unlock your bootloader which will make your device rootable. (it will still show S-ON though).
Nop,HBOOT came with this device itself.
i tried both htcdev,they says unable to bootloader for this ROM.
The HBOOT must have been updated somehow. Is it a new phone or did you get it second hand.
Did you try HTCDev method from the steps after the HBOOT update is done.

Nop its not updated it is as it is which i bought almost 1 year ago.
Its Not Second Hand
Yes I tried and result was unsuccessful.(ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED)
it says your rom version is not supported currently,but there will be an update soon that will be supported.
i have selected "hTC Asia India" as carrier. is it wrong??
I believe first you tried to update HBoot which failed then you tried to unlock bootloader without updating HBoot and that also failed.
If that is the case you have two options.
1. Search the forums to downgrade your HBoot to 1.01.0001, if you can successfully downgrade your Hboot you can use Revolutionary to get S-OFF.
2. Wait sometime to see if HTCDev site gets updated with support of your ROM and then try again.
Also if your existing ROM is India specific then you should select "HTC Asia India"
Mine is 2.25.720.1 CL299250 release-keys which is for India.
hello ,
i unlocked my bootloader using htc dev website ,and then i rooted the phone using gingerbreak v1.2.
the phone got rooted successfully but when i tried flashing CM7 on my phone ,through rom manager ,my phone restarted after asking superuser for permission .
after the restart , the phone hangs with a white screen with HTC logo .
i had flashed clockworkmod recovery before getting CM7 .
i tried going to recovery from bootloader and from pc .
please help guys ,i am really stuck in here .
sorry but this may help. Install CM7 using recovery not through rom manager. This may fix your problem.I hope =)

Hi.. u just try rooting your phone again using "unlockroot" one click tool(www.unlockroot.com) (as i did) or use htc super tool ...
Later install cwm recovery via fastboot method..plzz dont do it via rom manager as it just gives a temp recovery...
Then you can install custom rom's by going into cwm recovery..
IMP: make a backup of ur existing rom b4 flashing a custom rom and do a data reset b4 flashing..
hope this helps....
Still Not working Guys,please help I am just fed up with this message"low memory disk space"
Want to root anyhow..HELP!!

Thanks. I have successfully flashed clockworkmod. Then I've made nandroid backup (and flashed cyanogenmode - it seems to be much more responsive).
The only alteration was that I have used the fastboot utility from Google Android SDK.

Hey guys! So my cousin bought this used Desire HD. Its running 2.2 Froyo.
So here is the list of the problems:
1. When downloading from Google Play it does not download the app but it can browse. It gives a "Error : No Connection" in the status bar.
2. It should update to 2.3.3 but it says im already updated.
3. Tried factory resetting 2 times. Same thing.
4. Also one weird thing. I live here in Pakistan, so YouTube is blocked here. But the phone does browse YouTube? (it cant open the video though). Some kind of ROM problem i guess so.
What should i do to resurrect this problem? Thank you! Its the International version. "HTC Desire HD A9191".
Also the Serial number is SH11JRX08759

You could try unlocking the bootloader, root, and install a 4.2.2 custom rom. This will void the warranty but it may be the only way to fix the problem.
Update : so i went into the bootloader. And its pretty strange. Its S-OFF but not rooted :/ that is a really strange issue. Also i have noted the signals to be a bit more weaker.. Can somebody guide me from here?

Power off the phone. When it is off, hold down the volume down button and press the power button. This should get you into the HBoot screen. At the top of the screen, it will either say "UNLOCKED" or "LOCKED". If it is unlocked that's great. If it's not unlocked, look at the HBoot line to make sure the HBoot version on your phone can be unlocked. If it can, just follow the guide posted in this forum to install a 4ext custom recovery to flash custom roms.

You need the ENG S-OFF in order to use any actual commands/flash anything.Also rooting won't fix the play store problem, you must change ROM.If I may recommend, SVHD for a sense rom, or CM10.1 for that clean look.

Ok I am going to Temporary Root my DHD by Z4Root
Keep in touch kind sir I will update u the details
Unlock your bootloader first via htc dev. just follow the intructions in htcdev
Note: You need to update your bootloader first
- if the ruu in htcdev runs and update your bootloader, then your good to go
- if not or error appears, then create a goldcard (Instruction can be found somewhere here)
copy the updated hboot zip file to the root of your card and flash the zip file in recovery
then go back to unlocking your bootloader via htcdev
once unlock use the easyaceroottool to root your phone
-this will automatically flash the clockword recovery then you can flash any custom rom that you want.:fingers-crossed:

he doesn't need to update the hboot, he can easily flash the engineering one and do it a way lot easier.
I am doing what Steam. has said. but since I am running Windows 8, I am encountering some .NET Framework issue unfortunately. trying to resolve them first :/
OK I finally got the .NET Framework working. Gonna try out the process (Gonna read the ENG S-OFF) Obviously

just make sure you have a custom ROM ready to be flashed, do not boot the stock again once you reboot to bootloader.Flash 4EXT recovery, you can find the recovery .img here
just DL a ROM of your choice and flash it afterwards.

According to your given information I'd simply say: "Go and get you a new device!"
This shurely is as helpful as your information.
Else you'd write a few lines on what you did or what you tried to do when the 'brick' happened...

Ok, so everything is fine.
Depending on your rom (Sense I assume) you'll need to reflash your kernel or the complete "romwhichever".zip
To flash a kernel separately you need to boot into recovery and enter:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Usually you'll find the file boot.img inside the rom zip file(s) and you need to extract them. More questions?
Yes bro...can you guide me where to get the flash file

Are you using the stock rom (that came with the phone) or another one (which one)?
TWRP or CWM recovery?
Rooted (Superuser installed) or not?
Sorry asking, but that's straightforward...

i did not do any thing bro...my phone is crazy...please dont give up on me...every thing in the phone is not modified...please can you help me reflash it to stock ?!!!
If you didn't even unlock the bootloader, how could you possibly mess it up?
Is that possible?
Usually you can't bypass a locked bootloader.
So I'd suggest the following:
Boot into bootloader
Select Hboot (simply by pressing the on/off switch)
Select 'Factory Reset' by pressing Vol down
Press on/off
and wait for reboot.
Btw. did you buy it 2nd hand?

What is your recovery?
And did you try the steps I mentioned above? It's way easier to try this first instead of returning to stock, as there are no RUU's available now. The very first thing to return to stock is to find out if an appropriate backup exists here.
If not, we'll try to load and flash another rom. Search for ADB-sideload...
Do you know about ADB-shell?

Make shure to search and read for these things before we start anything...
Guys, I got the new update, but I can't install it. It gives me red icon during installation. I have installed the stock recovery, but still can't install the update... Can someone help me? My device is rooted and the last time I got an update, I installed stock recovery and installed the update successfully, but now I can't install lollipop update, although I have done the same, can someone help me?

Relock the bootloader, unroot.
Might have to RUU.

Don't even how to unroot. Whenever I hit "full unroot", it deletes super SU from my device and asks for a reboot, but when I reboot it, it gets back again..
And I don't even have a nanodroid backup..

Yeah i went back to stock unrooted and flashed the stock recovery from your ruu post and then relocked the bootloader but whenever i try to install the update, it doesnt boot into the recovery. It goes straight to the bootloader i think im going to run the ruu zip you provided and then try again.

Flashing the ruu allowed me to install the update with no problems.

i can't use this
this edited platform.xml so install update abort when around 10-15%
Yeah, same thing is happening to me. My bootloader is unlocked, and the phone is unrooted. I'll download the update, but whenever I hit install, it'll go to the install page, and the green bar starts loading, then it goes to the pre-recovery screen thing with the red triangle with the exclamation point. So I've tried two things. Number one is pressing and holding the volume up and tapping the power button, which gets me to the stock recovery screen. It says that the update was aborted. So I go and restart the device. This seems to have deleted the update, so I have to download it all over again. I do that, then install. Again, I get to the triangle ! screen, so instead, I press and hold both the power button and volume up (which is basically the equivalent of a battery-pull. I get the same result. The update has to download again. What do I do? I was contemplating locking the bootloader and even factory reseting the device. I've kind of been waiting for this update since 5.0 was released period, so I would like some guidance as to what to do next. Oh, and just for helps-sake, I'm using a mac, not a pc. I don't own a pc, only an iMac, and this MacBook Pro.
Anyone know what's going one? Please do help
Thanks!

After flashing stock recovery and relocking bootloader you need to flash RUU with your CID number.To find out your CID number install CID Getter from Play Store.After you find out your CID number you need to download RUU.And that is hard part of problem... I didn't find my RUU anywhere on web,but you maybe will have better luck.
When you have your RUU just rename file in OP9CIMG.zip and put it in to your sd card.After booting into bootloader phone will search for OP9CIMG.zip file and if CID number is same on phone that file will be flashed.

k, my CID is HTC J_15.. How could I find my RUU now?
My VMUSA 816 is still upgrading, but it looks like the solution for some people will be running the last version of ruu???.exe from HTC for your particular version of the 816 before downloading and installing the OTA update for Lollipop. Before running the ruu???.exe file the OTA would just reboot into the bootloader. Note that you should run ruu even if you already have that rom version installed. I already was running 1.50.652.3 but the OTA just wouldn't work. So the ruu just reflashed a clean version of the same rom.
As others have done I unrooted, installed stock recovery and then relocked bootloader before running ruu???.exe and installing OTA update for Lollipop.
The reason flashing a stock recovery would work before is because when doing a smaller update that stayed within kitkat it didn't do an entire system check, when upgrading to lollipop it checks EVERYTHING so the only way it'll install is having a nice fresh stock ROM from an RUU with a locked bootloader and stock recovery.
If s-offed is it necessary to relock bootloader?

Did you check the HTC site yet? Look for ROM updates there first. I assume they have country specific sites that will list ROMs for your region. For me in they show all their ROMs for US carriers.
