[HBOOT] HBOOT update for EU users who's having problem with RUU

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

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

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.
How is everyone rooting and loading CWM?

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.

Desperately Need help, no way to get back to stock HTC using RUU!

Hi guys,
Im on cm10 latest nightly atm,
and i need to go back to stock HTC rom, no root no nothing , just HTC, for warranty reasons
I used this RUU in the past to get back to stock HTC
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed
But now it doenst work, it gives me error 140, Before the error, the ruu shows me im going from 2.17.401.2 to 1.29.401.11
after that i get the error, that it has a bootloader error...
my bootloader is 1.12.000 atm
Can someone please help me get back to it ?
Also when i try to relock the bootloader, i get This : when using command: fastboot oem lock
I Get Failed(Too many links)
but after a reboot i get RELOCKED (security Warning)
Someone please help!

Go to htcruu.com and download the 2.17.401.2 ruu.
The security warning is because you have relocked your bootloader with a custom recovery still installed.

What is your CID?? and version??

If there is a JB ruu for you, you can go to stock JB . You cant use a ruu that is based on the 2.17 or lower. You have an updated Hboot so going back to stock ICS with a ruu is impossible......
You can run a ics stock rom and flash the stock recovery after and relock the bootloader, then it seems you are on stock but only with a updated Hboot. That's the closest to stock ICS you can get !

just hoping this works

Edit, was reading wrong : we don't need the rom you are running. We need the main version number to determin the right ruu.
Do fastboot command
Fastboot getvar version-main
That's definitely the real version

Yes, you can
Just find the attached link. Press Thanks if u like.

Yep this ruu is compatible with your CID. But i would warn you that it is a 'leaked' experimental ruu and not an official htc release... So theres no gurantee.

Well I think so 'cause for flashing ROM it needs to be S-Off and I didn't turn it back to S-On, to be sure where do I check it?

This is not true. Unlocked and S-On can still flash ROMs.

Ask here maybe? Mine was listed thankfully. I can't see yours but maybe someone there can help. I'm currently doing OTAs to update the firmware on mine so will upload a stock backup that I can see is missing as well as the OTA files.

I assume your bootloader unlocked?
How about S-off?
If not S-off than I would use "Sunshine"
( http://theroot.ninja )
Once your S-off than I would ruu stock version and it will bring you back to complete stock with only an unlocked bootloader

When there is OTA, transfer the OTA.zip to PC before you install it and extract it with 7-zip
You'll see firmware.zip. Extract it, you'll see recovery.img
Use this one, you should be fine
