i downloaded 3 RUU .exe roms, after opening them on TEMP folder of windows copied rom.zip
renamed it to PD98IMG.zip and update.zip but neither of them fixed the problem i read somewhere that it should find the file and start the update but it just loads the file like picture below and then nothing happens
after loading it shows this page and nothing...
i dont know what should i do to install them from SD Card so i tried Recovery section and then this happened for all 3 roms
it keeps saying E: Can't Open /sdcard/PD98IMG.zip (bad)
for all 3 RUU roms, what should i do?

You have to relock the bootloader and then reflash the Ruu in the PD98IMG.zip way.
To relock, just boot to hboot and choose fastboot.
Plug the phone and You should see fastboot USB in red.
Open a CMD as admin or terminal as root in the PC
Type: fastboot oem lock
Then, just re try booting in hboot with the Ruu in the root of the sdcard....

'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command.

ok...you don't have the adb drivers. Unplug the phone and download the Hack Kit, unzip it and just run the hack-ace.cmd as admin. That will install the adb drivers and so other commands, then close it. Plug the phone back and again from fastboot usb in red try the command

There's no need to donate. Thanks I appreciate it.
Now that u are relocked, I need the CID number to find a working RUU.
To get that, boot in fastboot, plug the phone (fastboot usb in red)
Open a cmd as admin and type: fastboot getvar all. Find the INFOcidnum...and paste it here.

Okay, the issue is that there's no direct ruu for your CID number. But u can try the following.
Plug the phone in fastboot, then run the Hack Kit as admin and choose the fastboot method...see what happens. If not you will have to create a goldcard with the sdcard CID.

This is how to create a goldcard: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
Then just place the file I will send u (rename it PD98IMG.zip) in the root of the sdcard and boot in hboot.
OR
you can unlock the bootloader again and then try flashing a custom rom...there's a way...gotta find the thread.

you don't need a pc to flash a rom, you just need it to transfer the rom itself on the sdcard... go into recovery, mount usb and that's it...it should work

Well now the problem by not being able to access sd is fixed, but i thought you need to do the commands Fastboot flash boot.img and Fastboot erase cache to install a new rom?

Yes, you have to flash new rom after a full wipe in recovery, boot into fastboot usb and use this command for flash the boot.img

Go into the device manager, update driver but pick the supported device from the list (don't pin me on the exact way as im not on the pc to check now) select the android phone from the list and install it (or at least update it)....

Good, you might want to consider updating your hboot. That might solve some issues. The 1.28 contains some bugs.
It may have also something to do with jellybean because they removed usb mass storage in there. Only mtp is available.
The latest custom JB roms (at least some) are supporting usb mass storage again

You can obtain your 1.39 hboot firmware update here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
Its the first one in the OP.
Put the file in the fastboot folder and rename it to firmware.zip
Then put the phone in the bootloader and relock it
Fastboot oem lock
Then flash the firmware with these commands
Fastboot oem rebootRUU (watch the capitals, this command will reboot into a black screen with a silver HTC logo)
At that point you flash the firmware
Fastboot flash zip firmware zip (if it fails the first time, don't worry....just repeat the command until it says oke)
Then unlock the bootloader, reflash the custom recovery and install a brand new JB rom of your choice !

HTC Sense version : 3.0
Software number 3.12.405.1
I don't have the permission ( # ) in my room or superuser ...
Soo, what i have to do...? or how can i put all default (stock).

You are S-Off with no recovery. Just flash one from fastboot and flash a ROM from there. Instructions in the Ace Think Tank thread linked in my signature.

No. glevitan's guide in post #7 has a section about being S-Off with no recovery.

sorry I read all in that post but I can't find .... please help :|
I try to flash the recovery img (using adb) but don't work (no allowed)...... Soo, what i have to do ?
Is not my first root but this is different :|

The linked PDF guide...? There's a section around page 8 or 9 that talks about being S-Off with no recovery.

I see this:
But in step 5 the mirror is deleted and i can't download it and in steps 6 and 7 i don't understand .. :| give me a good steps exactly for me ( remember i don't have acces the root, only $), i remain indebted.
Code:
S-OFF with no custom recovery : you need to reflash a custom recovery to be able to flash a custom room again. Follow this steps:
1) Boot in hboot and choose fastboot.
2) Plug the phone to the pc ( you have to see fastboot in red in the phone )
3) Open cmdas admin or terminal as root in the pc.
4) type ( case sensitive ) :
5) wget "link" -no- check certificate
6) Fastboot oem rebootRUU ( that will put your phone in RUU mode, witch black screen with silver HTC )
7) Fastboot flash zip cwm-5.0.2.7-ace.zip (it will send the firt and then flash it)
8) When you see OKAY. Finished (ner the button in the cmd session even if the green bar in the phone is at half way).
9) Fastboot reboot-bootloader.
10) Voila..check and you should have CWM again.

Certainly, your highness. Download a recovery image. Flash it from fastboot. Flash a ROM from recovery. If you want more detail you need to search. The answers are all available.

are you even in hboot??? maybe you should do some research...that is a step by step detailed way on flashing a recovery. Device 101 is your homework.
BTW, MissB is not a Man...at least is what her signature says...:laugh:

the same i try to fastboot :|
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' <6092 KB>...
OKAY [ 1.018s ]
writing 'recovery' ...
FAILED <remote: not allowed>

Is your phone in fastboot mode?? Select it from hboot.

and i think your problem and my because our devices are unlocked by htcdev unlock tool (HTC' 'official' 'bootloader unlock)
so the fastboot Prevents custom rom or recovery to install
it is just allows ruu ROM
i think this link will help you

[Q] [q] Failed RUU - black screen with /!\ issue

Dear All,
I am digging through the forum for couple of hours but after reading number of tutorials and threads I stuck with no answer to my problem.
Here is the issue:
I have HTC Desire (Bravo) PVT3 with S-Off and Alpha Rev CM7 r2.
I Tried to Flash original ROM RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed. The process failed and I have ended up with black screen and /!\ in every corner. I tried to solve the problem with with THIS tutorial (POINT 4) but I did not succeed.
I cannot flash Bravo Stock with Android Flasher (version 2.0.0) as it freezes. Links to newer version of the flasher seems to be dead - so are links to number of other utilities on the forum .
Could anyone help me bring the phone to life, please? I probably (!) even have got a goldcard (it was created long time ago, never used even not sure if it was ever working). I want to flash any rom to make the phone usable, not necessarily stock one.
After unplugging usb from the PC, the phone is in ruu mode and displays following info:
Alpha Rev CM7 r2
Bravo PVT3 Ship S-OFF
HBOOT-6. 93. 1002
Microp-051d
Touch Panel -SYNW0101
Radio-4. 06. 00. 02_2
Date, time
Many thanks for any ideas....

I assume that you're after reading HTC Desire (Bravo) Troubleshooting Guide, Chapter [4]: RUU PROBLEMS.
Try another flasher, e.g. Universal Android Flasher v1.40 b.

Just use fastboot commands to flash stock hboot then run the ruu.
The command is -
fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img
The reason the ruu failed is because the system partition in the cm7r2 hboot is too small for the ruu.

In the same way that you read in bortak's quide.
First you need to be sure that you have the IMG for hboot and that through adb you have connection to the device.

OK, I have downloaded "Bravo Stock" from Alpharev but I cannot boot to fastbood mode (back and power don't work).

Pull the battery out then put back in, then press and hold back + power Or vol down + power. /!\ in each corner is the same as fastboot mode. So when u get that screen, plug in ur phone and type the fastboot command
fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img
Then type
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then run the ruu.

When I type in command line adb devices there is none listed. When I try adb reboot command it says no device connected. Phone is in fastboot mode (black htc screen with /!\ in corners)

OK, It works! Sorry. I loaded hboot image. Many thanks for all of you!
Two more questions: in case I load stock RUU will I S-ON the phone? Can I load now any other rom (aplplicabe for stock hboot) using fastboot and how? Or should I better load ruu and than try to load rom from .zip file using bootloader?

Unrooting International One M8

Hi.
I've got an HTC One M8 and would like to get everything back to stock, but have been experiencing a bunch of issues.
The phone was stolen a couple weeks ago and I got it back yesterday. The person installed Android 6.0.1, ClockworkMod 6.0.4.8, Turbo, Viper and I've found a com.cyanogenmod.eleven folder on the SD card (not sure what it is though). I've tried doing everything by following "How to Unroot the HTC One M8 Complete Guide" by the Unlockr on Youtube (can't post a link since I'm new) , but I've been running into problems.
I can't connect the phone to a PC. I've checked Device Manager - it recognizes the phone as an Android Phone and it seems to think that it's a CD ROM.
My version-main is blank, and my cidnum is 02___102.
I've managed to get to Recovery but I get "md5 missmatch" every time i try to run it. There isn't a nandroid.md5 file in any of the backup folders.
Could someone please help me get my phone back to an out of the box state? I'm not a pro, but I'll be able to follow instructions.
Thanks.

Easiest way would be a RUU. Just find one that matches your Cid and you're good to go

Thanks dude, but could you elaborate a bit?
I found a collection of M7 RUUs but can't seem to find them for M8. What does the process look like, as in what should I do after I find the correct RUU?

I don't have the time right now, but I'm sure that there's many guides in the general forums about how you can return 100%to stock

Like I said, it's not the guide I'm worried about, it's the issues I've been running into. Writing 10 sentences doesn't really require that much time if you know what you're writing about.
Thanks man, you've really helped me out.

Can you get to the bootloader ?
If possible, post here fastboot getvar all result without serial & imei no.
Need to confirm your current firmware version base on these getvar details because your version-main is blank before we can advise whether to use RUU or non-rooted stock nandroid backup to restore

Here's the getvar image I got when I tried to unroot the phone a couple days ago. If it's missing anything important I'll do it again. And yes, I can get into bootloader and recovery.

Great.. your firmware is 4.20.206.1
I'll give you link to RUU in half an hour when I'm home.
Meantime you may want a different method, restore non-rooted nandroid backup and its stock recovery then do OTA. You can read my thread linked in my signature.

Thank you!
I read your post earlier, but since I'm a noob I couldn't figure it out. So I'll wait for the RUU if that's ok with you.

Here is the 4.20.206.1 RUU.exe : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934555499
and you need PC with USB2.0 (don't use USB3.0 or any USB hub) and the latest HTC USB drivers -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926362&postcount=4
As your device is S-On, you need to relock the bootloader.
Put your device on bootloader/fastboot mode and connect to PC.
Open a command prompt from your fastboot/adb folder, run these commands to relock bootloader
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
right click the RUU.exe and select run as administrator, follow the instructions accept, next, next, update & blalblabla until it finish.
Lates you can check for OTA and update the device to the latest Marshmallow. I believe there will be two OTAs.
Note : this procedure will wipes everything on your device and give you out of the box state phone.

Ok, so here's a bunch of questions. Bear with me, please
1. The RUU link takes me to a blank page, I guess it's down or something.
2. When I run the adb installer and choose to install the drivers it asks me if I want to install Samsung drivers. Is that how it's supposed to be?
3. Is it necessary to uninstall HTC Sync Manager? If so, how do I leave the drivers?
4. Do I need to put the RUU in a specific folder or can I run it from wherever I downloaded it?

1. Link is ok for me ...
View attachment 3766907
2. Choose Y to install it system-wide but N for the drivers. You can open command prompt anywhere that you like even from desktop, the adb/fastboot work.
3. Yes, uninstall HTC Sync Manager, the installer will install Htc Sync Manager, USB Drivers and some microsoft needed runtime (separately). When you uninstall HTC Sync Manager, it will uninstall HTC Sync Manager only.
4. Anywhere that you like ... put on desktop for easy access.

So, I finally got the link to work and got everything set up, but I noticed that there's an O2 in the name of the RUU. I believe O2 is a carrier and my phone had no carrier when I bought it, I just wanted to check if that could be an issue before I do anything.

You wrote on your post #1 "My version-main is blank, and my cidnum is 02___102" and your getvar all show cidnum O2__102 ... that means your device is an O2 variant.
I believe it is SIM unlocked, so you can use any SIM on it. Being an O2 device, you can only run O2 RUU and installing RUU won't relock the SIM unlock.

I followed the steps you provided and the phone is back to its original state. Words can't express how grateful I am.
I'll make sure to donate when I get some extra cash, and if there's anything else I can do for you do tell. Thank you for bearing with a noob like me!
