Hi folks,
I will be getting a DHD on orange uk in a few days. I read all the stuff about rooting and s-off when flashing custom roms, but if all I want to do is flash my orange phone with the official HTC RUU to debrand it, and possibly back again if need be, do I need to do any of that? Can I just use the RUU files? I couldn't work it out from any of the related threads...
Thanks!
No if your branded, you need to create a gold card to run a generic ruu.

Hi;
Is it possible to install an Arabic stock ROM on HTC Wildfire S Europe (different RUUs)?
What should I do to install ROM of a software number on a phone with different software number?
I searched the threads but I lost in tutorials and couldn't find an answer.

Yes you can....... If you want to use an RUU you should have a locked bootloader an should have stock recovery
A better way is to just run the RUU till the first screen, close it, go to the temp folder (type "%temp%" in "Run" in the start menu) and search for a "Rom.zip", rename it to "PG76IMG.ZIP" and put in on the SD card and boot into the bootloader and flash it....... You will need a locked bootloader for this as well
But I read somewhere that if I want to flash a stock ROM with RUU the software numbers should be same.
for example can I install RUU_Marvel_HTC_ARA_1.47.415.1_R3_Radio_47.10b.35.3030H_7.47.36.10M_release_196164_signed.exe on a wildfire s with 2.26.401.3 software number by simply executing that file on my PC?
I have a wildfire S from the Middle East and I have flashed a European Ruu without any problems......the only thing that matters is that the variant is same(GSM or CDMA)
But there is various topics are saying you can't install a stock ROM on a phone with different CID version. You need to first s-off and change CID or use Goldcard.
I went for goldcard but it seems that the site which generates goldcard image is down.
What else I can do?
I need to install RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_ARA_2.26.415.2_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_262618_signed_2 on a wildfire s with 2.26.401.3 software number which is Europe.
Is there any complete tutorial? This phone isn't mine so I don't want to try uncertain way.
Hi XDA
Im lost! I bought the HTC One M8t in China today, in a real store, so its not a fake. Im on vacation in China and come from Denmark.
I belived it would just be plug'n'play with this phone, but since its bought in china there is a lot of chinese apps and no Play store
I asked around and i realised i will have to root the phone. Im a totel rookie and i have never done it before, so i hope you guys can lead me in the right direction.
Questions:
1. How do i root my HTC One M8t?
2. Can i get the original HTC Sense from my region (Denmark/Europe) on my phone?
2.1 If yes, how do i do that?
2.2 If no, can i get Android L on my phone?
I really hope someone can help me, i am totally lost and really frustrated since i thought it would be an easy task to get it up and running.

Help is here...kind of
Hey CrimeRider93.
I've been reading up on this topic because I've just landed myself in the same situation.
So, I managed to root my M8t but I haven't managed to flash another ROM (like your Danish one) to it yet. The reason for this is because I can't get rid of the S-ON on the phone which stops you from installing custom ROMs. To my knowledge, although I'm still searching, there isn't a way yet.
The slightly good news is that you can put a ROM that was designed specifically for the M8t on it but I haven't managed to find one with Google Play etc. yet.
So in conclusion, you can root your phone but you can't put anything useful on it yet (that I know of).
I hope I've cleared things up a little and if you'd like an explanation on how to root the M8t I'd be happy to tell you, just let me know. :good:

If you already managed to root (meaning you obtained bootloader unlock and custom recovery) you could try to s-off with firewater. If firewater doesn't work for your M8 you can try sunshine s-off, as I did.

To obtain root you have to unlock bootloader (e.g. via htcdev.com) and install a custom recover (my personal choice was TWRP). After this you can flash root with your "new" recovery.
After this you have to s-off your device (see my answer above).
If you ar finally s-off you can download a stock HTC backup of the European (WWE) ROM as well as the fitting firmware.
Next step would be to perform a TWRP backup of your device and place the above mentioned ROM backup in your TWRP/Backup/H..../ folder on your HTC One M8 and rebooting back into recovery.
In recovery you can now backup to your dowloaded stock ROM and again reboot to bootloader.
The last two steps are to change the CID to a European (WWE) one (e.g. HTC__102) and after this flashing the firmware in RUU mode.
For a more detailed guide just search on this forums, or simply ask your questions. I'll try to help as good as passible. Remenber I'm not to blame for a brick of your smartphones, should something go wrong during one of the steps.
That doesn't work for the M8t

Recovery - You need a special custom recovery for the M8t, I used this one:
http :// bbs. anzhi. com/ thread-8936202-1-1.htmlRemove the spaces, I'm a new member
S-OFF - That method works for most version of the M8 but not he M8t, (though I didn't try sunshine).
I've managed to get Google play using Soul 2.0 which was made especiall for the M8t
For the M8t, there is a easier way for Google Play service (gmail, map... etc),
Just search "GMS安装器" from HTC App store or Baidu App store. Then you are good to go.
As for the ROM, yeah... I am hoping to find some idiot step-by-step tutorial to teach me how to do so. Wonder if any kernal or recovery or rom on the forum can be used on HTC One M8t? Also the phone is using TD-SCDMA and TDD-LTE, are those firmware or rom designed specifically for the hardware of FDD-LTE and WCDMA?
Hi,
I have the above HTC phone (A51_DTUL) running stock Android 6 Marshmallow. I have installed TWRP custom Recovery and have Rooted it as well. The HBOOT version is 3.19.
I want to install a lower version of HBOOT but, am unable to do so as it is in S-On status.
Is there a way to turn it off?
I searched a lot but could not find anything. Please direct me if there is a post somewhere for this phone or let me know any method that I can try. Thank you.
Can someone help on the above query please ?
