hi guys im trying to flash a stock ruu and cant quite get it working
ive tried everything (turning off internet connection,3 different updates of the ruu,flashing while phone is off...)
i have a telstra branded desire rooted running rcmix s v1.2
i have tried all 3 telstra ruus from htc site and get either unable to connect via usb or something like the wrong hboot.]ill try to find my goldcard but is there any other way i can unroot without a goldcard
as always help is appreciated
You have a branded desire right? I gather this from the fact, that you are talking about a goldcard, which you only need, if u want to remove a branding. With such a branded desire you cannot use a RUU by HTC. You need to use the RUU of your provider. Download the latest RUU (complete OTA-Update) from your provider's website and install it. This should work.
Did you try flashing true fastboot?
1. Boot up your phone in the bootloader.
2. Select fastboot.
3. Run the Telstra ruu
Thanks for the help everyone...i flashed a stock rom without apps2ds or data2we tried flashing again with phone on got half way through and had usb connectivity error so went into fastboot and did it from there and it worked.
made a goldcard for future use if i need to and went through the whole noobs guide to root and now have
rooted htc desire
s-off with alpharev...had trouble with this as well but thats in my other post and it worked fine
now reflashing rcmix s v1.1 and get my apps back.
thanks again everyone and moderator can remove this thread if needed
Ok I am new to XDA, I have and HTC Desire HD on Gingerbread 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 it was originally on the telus nework but was unlocked before we bought it, I have very basic knowledge ... a lot of work on my Samsung Tab 10.1 and Samsung Infuse ... both have been very customized, This HTC is the worst thing i have attempted ... I have run just about every program out there, now im trying to downgrade the bootloader (Yes, its unlocked) all I get are errors when trying to downgrade .... I live with a "developer"(he's a tool) he says I need s-off to be able to load roms (I like NIGHTLY builds had a lot of luck with them) and when i attempt to put a new rom on it all installs normally but then it never leaves the HTC Screen it will sit there for hours with nothing .... I have just about every htc dev tool i have found I made sure to read every result on google for this issue and nothing .... any questions just let me know Im always around Internet ... any help would be appreciated greatly.... up until this phone this forum has given me everything I need to know you guys are amazing,
Sam
If your boot loader is unlocked you can flash custom ROMs; you will just need to fastboot flash the ROM zip's boot.img each time. To do that read my signature. You don't need S-Off to flash ROMs. You can't run RUUs when your bootloader is unlocked. AAHK is retired, so S-Off must be done manually now.

Hello,
My adb devices is not showing my device.
I'm pretty sure I forgot to activate developer mode and turn on USB debugging. I can not flash any room and I'm stuck in a boot loop or just using TWRP. I'm completely lost in a way to get beyond this. I've been searching XDA for 4.5 hours straight and it seems some people have 80% of my problem but not 100%. I decided initially to follow a Youtube video that didn't mention anything about USB debugging so I'm wondering if that's the main issue in all of this. I've tried going back to stock RUU, through Hasoon2000's allinone but I keep getting failures. Just at a loss and would appreciate any help. I'm trying to go to the Skydragon Rom, but I'm willing to go back to stock to work my way back up. I've initially rooted this type of phone before, but I didn't follow the same method as last time(which was Hasoon's) as I thought it would work the same, I used this Youtube video, youtube/watch?v=_yo4eoCfxmE. (sorry link is weird cause I can't post links yet, add a .com after youtube!) I do not have S-Off. I just wanna know what I can do to get back to Skydragon or at least back to stock before my girlfriend beats my ass for messing up her phone

haha... Love :victory:
Now back to issue.
If you're in the bootloader you don't need USB Debugging enabled, you can still use the fastboot command regardless of USB debugging mode. Check
Code:
fastboot devices
not
Code:
adb devices
.
Make sure all the drivers are still fine on the PC, reinstall if you must.
On a side note, try not to use all-in-one toolkits as you really don't get to learn from using something like that. If you did it manually you'd already have a pretty good understanding on which command gets used in which instance i.e bootloader vs in-system.
I actually didn't use a all-in-one this time around but as soon as I unlocked boot loader and rooted I had issues installing the custom rom. I've used both phil z and twrp but it still gets stuck when I install the sky dragon, or viper for that matter to test and make sure it wasn't just a bad download. Earlier when I did fast boot devices it did show something but now it's just a blank space. I'm in bed now I would double check again to make sure but like I said it's been a few hours and now it's 4:38 am and I'm tired. I'll double check in the morning but I appreciate your response and I'll double check. Drivers should be good from last time but I will double check and make sure. Again thanks for responding!
Alright, now after some rest I've checked the fastboot devices and it does show up.
Tried flashing to latest SkyDragon again and it just sits on the HTC screen before boot looping.
The device is S-On, unlocked and says tampered. I've tried flashing the boot.img in bootloader after flashing the rom but still no dice.

Latest skydragon, ARHD, InsertCoin and many more are meant for hboot 3.18 and above. If you boot to bootloader and see your hboot is 3.16, these ROMs won't work properly for you.
So check your hboot no.
Next ... check your CID and MID
If possible the OS version no. on bootloader too
You may need to revert to your stock ROM ... then check any OTA for your device

Alright yeah, my hboot is 3.16. Tried looking up ways to update the fastboot but all I've seen is requiring S-Off.
CID is CWS____001
MID is 0P6B12000
The OS is blank, just says OS- (blank space)
Gonna try flashing stock recovery again.

Yours is At&T (if I'm not wrong as I'm not familiar with this Sprint, Verizon and AT&T)
And there are RUU for both 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 (hboot 3.16 and 3.18) ... it's best for you to head over AT&T forum for better guidance.

Alright, thank you for your help. I relocked and I tried the second link you posted, but the ruu messes up after I accept the EULA and just keeps popping up boxes. Downloading the RUU from the first link now and gonna try that. I just run the RUU in fastboot usb right?
Again thanks, I had no idea to check for hboot versions when rooting/flashing in the time I've rooted some devices so guess I'm learning something the hard way.
Edit: Same thing with the first link. I feel like I'm in the wrong place trying to run the RUU in fastboot usb?
Alright, tried running the RUU's again on the black screen with the silver HTC letters as suggested by someone else and the program still acts up after the EULA.
Alright, I was able to find a nandroid backup and restore it through there, so now I'm back in business. Thanks for the help!
Hey, guys. Need some help here. Yesterday I tried to install a ROM and when it booted up I realized that I didn't have signal. I tried to revert to stock. I installed the stock ROM for my ATT Desire Eye but when I was going to install the firmware, the fastboot command starts but it shows an error and it doesn't flash anything. What I need to do? I need help ASAP, please!
Thank you!
EDIT: I finally did it. I installed the RUU from HTC website.
Hello Greetings
i experimented alot with my wildfire S .... some times its carrier signals gets lost maybe because i dont know my carrier (when it bootsup it doesnot display any carrier so i randomely chose carier RUU but it failed)

2) any RUU i chose that i feel might be mine never successfully installed so plz guide me how can i know about that
3) i purchased this phone in Asia Pakistan so plz help chosing my RUU or how can i get to orignal or factory phoned condition
4) i dont know about radio flashing plzz help me with that
5) i downloaded an RUU from a link of XDA has uploaded on a site ....i thought that RUU is because its radio version matched with the version displayed at my phones bootloader
6) i tryed to extract ROM.zip from that same radio matching RUU in ubuntu using OpenRUU i installed Wine as well but when i execute extactrom.sh it runs but when i run that htcRUU.exe using wine program loader it shows installation process a little bit but disappears after a while and OpenRUU keeps on running but never gets ROM.zip
