ok so i have a few noob questions:
1.does the nandroid backup include firmware files? if yes how can i extract it into firmware.zip?
2.i know that OTA files does include firmware, how can i extract from an OTA file?
3.has CID_J15 received hboot 1.72? if it has can anyone please upload it.
thanks guys
1: no
2: open it with 7zip and copy the firmware
3:dont know if it hboot 1.72 but you can install all sense 5 roms from at least 1.36 and up....
Link to firmwares
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
yes i have a searched the forum for 2 days now. the link you gave me doesnt work but you and another member have posted mirror's to OTA files and another firmware host. the host only has upto 1.34 and the latest OTA is 3.16 which im downloading already.
since there are no updated link available for J15 firmware i thought i download the latest available nandroid which is 4.1.1 and relock bootloader and update stock boot.img and recovery and let it update from official server which im guessing updates hboot to latest as well.
that is the right step to take right?
Relock the bootloader is not needed. Stock rom, boot.img and recovery ....then update
thanks for your time and help Mr Hofs :cheers:

I wanted to go back to stock to update via OTA, but i don't know how to do this... i'm on 1.28 custom rom.
I have to: download 1.28 stock rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970 or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606676
Then i have to flash boot.img from the firmware package and flash the stock rom from recovery.
Then i can update to 1.29
Is that correct or I'll fall in errors?

have you got a back up of your stock rom that came with the phone?
Obviously not.
I was looking at the RUU thread and I saw that we have the 1.29 update for Europe. How can I apply it on my custom 1.28 rom?
Re-lock bootloader, flash stock recovery.IMG file from 1.29 firmware and then?
Please don't Terminate me

....and just after I finally managed to get the ota installed
Hi,
i have S-ON, bootloader unlocked, root, 2.13.401.3
after this update 2.26.401.3 stay still bootloader unlocked?
EDIT: maybe i need S-OFF, not possibly update my mobile...
you need to relock the bl in order to install any ruu.
i had a hard time updating my phone to 2.26
if you take a look at the first thread for this update, the ota update, there are details for how to update to this version and still keep bl-nlocked and easily root

try the process in this thread, if you can't get it to work straight away, try using the method i used (thanks to rezo).
1 - install the ruu for 2.14.401.1
(http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?o6ox43q3taa33iu)
1.5 - if you can't do this because you already have the rom from 2.26 (but old radio etc), follow this tutorial so that you can go back to ruu 2.14.401.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540952&highlight=downgrade
2 - use htcdev process (without ruu step) to unlock bootloader
3 - install cwm recovery by flashing this file (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1rdxmtpx26201or) via "fastboot flash recovery recovery(custom).img"
4 - put update.zip (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?vycb7415nn9boct) on the root of your sd card and install from cwm recovery.
4.5 - if the update doesn't work (i.e. if you still get "triangle !" logo flash this file (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bqni648c46r5e44) via cwm and choose the option "supervision", then try the update again.
5 - after installation and first boot (take a while) boot back to cwm and flash this root.zip (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dumbffr3n8igau4)
you should now have the latest stock rom, latest hboot, latest radio, and be root.
What's different in this new update 2.26. ?

what is the error code?
things to remember when you flash an ruu :-
you should not have modified system files (except for root)
you should have stock recovery to start with
you may need to create gold card
you should be relocked bootoader
if you are already on a software number which is higher than the ruu you are trying to install, you may need to downgrade first, using the guide posted above.
Is there anyway without S-OFF to update the radio? I would rather not loose any data too. I've manage to update everything but the radio.

if you're s-off already, can't you just flash the radio.img?
don't quote me on that, i'm not s-off myself, so i'm not reallu 'up' on all the thigns you can do and how you do them. but i was under the impression that with s-off you can flash it same as you flash recovery.img or system.img?
Do I need to flash radio? Because my girlfriends WFS has been t-mobile branded so I think I'm not able to flash RUU without gold crad?
Is it possible to flash system.img and boot.img only? Or will there be conflicts with radio/ramdisk etc...
BL is unlocked and device is rooted atm!
I installed this RUU to my Wildfire S by this tutorial
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540952
My phone had unlocked bootloader (via htcdev.com), Root, S-On and my Hboot version was 1.09.0099. When I was trying to install RUU I got ERROR 140(bad hboot version). So I used mentioned tutorial to downgrade hboot and then I install new RUU.
I downloaded RUU 2.26.401.3 from this site because on Football's FileFactory link are allways full slots.

Sorry for poor english.
Can anyone please upload the RUU to another server?
FileFactory is always overloaded. And the russian site is too slow to download from America. 3kbps gg.
Any issues unlocking BL and rooting this update? Any compelling reason to stay with 2.13.401.2/3?

Hi
Having some issues with HOX
My mainver is: 3.78.61.6 HIGER THAN ANY EXISTING MAINVER POSSIBLE
I can ONLY install stock software via CustomRUU as i need to match mainver to = 3.78.61.6 WHICH IS HIGHER THAN JB!!!
ONCE INSTALLED I CAN NOT OTA UPGRADE because MainVer is HIGHER than JB update.
So it just crashes after installed (At Lock Ring). Because stock is installed i MUST do OTA update as phone insists i update.
JB RUU DOES NOT EXIST for my CID BUT OTA JB UPDATE DOES
Cid: TELNZ001
hboot 1.12.000 (BUT UPDATE IS INCLUDED IN OTA)
I have the ota zip file, which has FOLDERS not IMG so is not flashable.
HOWEVER DOES contain Firmware.zip with HBOOT 1.39 FOR TELNZ001 in it but is not flashable.
I have two questions:
Can anyone help me to downgrade / fool mainver, so i can revert back to stock and OTA to JB
OR
IS there a way to flash the hboot.img from OTA update.
I CANNOT flash firmware.zip from OTA as its CORRUPT and has been CORRUPT from every download site.
Thanks

Lol no matter what i post i get completly different answers than im actually looking for.
I know there is a way to charge mainver on some htc phones.
no one seems no one has a telnz001 JB backup.
and im having trouble flashing the hboot img
if i can flash the boot img i can run a jb rom...
What's the problem with flashing then ?
problem with flashing hboot?
There is NOTHING telling me how to flash the hboot.img file itself except for ruu / firmware.zip WHICH come back with errors, through fastboot i get error 99 unknown.
i cant flash it via the firmware.zip as mainver in the OTA JB ZIP is too low. either that or i need to find a way to sign the zip which is impossible.
and if i rebuild it ( make the mainver higher in the text file higher to match my mainver which is 2.76.xx.xx ) it refuses to flash.
the problem is .... i cant flash the hboot as it appears the only way is via ruu / ruu mode with firmware.zip
which is because my mainver is 3.76.xx.xx
next problem is even IF i could flash firmware.zip or ruu to an OLDER version is it updates the stock software to 2.17 but mainver still remains 3.76.xx.xx so its impossible to do the jb update which is 3.17.xx.xx
does a zip exist to make my mainver 1.00.00.00 as i would just be able to flash ruu and OTA and it will work
ive tried the mainver fixes and nothing has worked so far.
An older firmware.zip is never gonna work, you need S-OFF for that. The best is to get a nandroid backup ..... it doesn't matter if that is older or not. When you get hands on a nandroid you can restore it and update with official ota. Even if its an old one. The hboot will stay the same during updstes. The only thing that get updated is the software.
as far as I read about this, you can never downgrade with S-ON
if you want to keep using Sense , You need to look for a backup for your CID.
and I think you're probably figured that out by now
I think rephrasing the question might help you get someone to aid
and maybe you can upload the Firmware.zip for advanced developers to look at, you might get lucky and someone find an answer to you problem
anyway, you can read This , it's about Unlocking CID TELNZ001, might help?

I ony have one little problem with restoring from nandroid...
that is:
it does a couple of updates before the jb update is available
so it hits the 2.17 update maybe the update just after that and gets stuck on the lock screen and constantly reboots.

Sorry if I post a noob question , but since we are all waiting for sense 5, I ' m thinking about restoring stock, in order to get an official update from HTC (I hope it will come soon), so my question is:
if my firmware version was never updated past 3.14.401.31 and I can't find any nandroid backup of this version with stock recovery , will I be able to flash stock odexed rom 3.20.401.1 from mike1986 with stock boot and recovery and get the official updates, or will I have to run the RUU from 3.14.401.31 and do all the OTAs ?
Run the 3.14.401.31 RUU to get back to stock and then ota with official updates !

Make sure to relock bootloader if your planning on restoring with RUU
In just flashed my one x back to stock with the stock kernel and stock recovery. But when I try checking for OTA it says no updates available. I already reclocked the bootloader. My HOX is on 4.1.1 and I know the 4.2.2 update is already available. My firmware is 3.16.415.4 (J15) hboot 1.39. I can't even find an RUU online. Does anyone know how i can fix this OTA issue.
I say don't update yet and just flash any sense 5 rom

Thanks. I been using custom sense 5 for a while now. But i'm giving the phone away to someone and i want to set it back to stock. Now i'm on stock but stick on 4.1 with sense 4+ Do you have any idea why it wont detect the OTA??
Uhm no actually, try to let it search for a couple of times manually.
Otherwise flash the firmware from the last ota file and restore the stock nand. I am hosting one in the backup thread in the general section
