I have an Unlocked Bootloader and also have S-OFF. I am getting a update 1.54.708.2 (271.37 MB) but unable to update it because I am getting an error as "/system/app/Books.apk" has unexpected contents. I even factory restored, but to no avail . I know I have deleted some Google apps coz I was not using them, what can I do now?
I have searched every where but could not find a solution to update my phone. I also like to update my phone to latest Lollipop build, but dont not whether the update is available.
How can I do this??
PLEASE HELP ME...

Have S-Off and phone is Unlocked
Thanks in advance

Any one please help me.
If you have the RUU file for Lollipop for Asian version please let me know.

Either flash gapps to restore the apps you deleted or use the ruu to go back to full stock

Need to retrun back to Stock on HTC Desire HD(Indian)

I need help on reverting my Desire HD back to stock.
For this I understand I need to flash stock ROM (RUU). In this case I need to flash RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.720.5 which is the Indian version for DHD.
However, I am unable to find this RUU.
When installing a custom rom after having rooted my phone I did take a backup using rom manager. So I do have a backup of Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.720.5 which I can restore ... but I will still have root.
Question: Is there a way to remove root after I restore the backup and also remove ClockworkMod's recovery?
If the above is possible I can then update my phone to the latest firmware from HTC which I guess is 1.84.720.3.
Please help..
There's an unroot option in visinonary.

Yes there is... will try that and what about ClockworkMod's recovery? will that affect the OTA update that I try to apply after I use the unroot option?

Shouldn't do, I once tried something similar and everything was okay? The OTA's installed as they should. The problem is the RRU you require hasn't actually been released which is a shame as I would expect Shipped-Roms to have a copy.

This is not the first time... I had a similar problem with HTC Hero, the Indian(Airtel base) rom was never released for download and when rooting the first time I did not take a backup of the original rom coz of which I was unable to update using the OTA.
So you saying I should go ahead with the unroot process and the OTA can then be applied? I really want to do this since I am flashing my phone every alternate day with a new rom released at XDA.. either 2.2.1 or 2.3.. need to stop doing that .. atleast for a few months till HTC releases a stable 2.3 sense rom for DHD.

vickyclewis.. thanks for the direct file download... will check it out once out of office.
Also the steps mentioned for flashing this.... I found the below in one of your post:
=====================================================
PD98IMG's cannot be flashed via CWM Recovery. Rename the zip to "PD98IMG.zip" and place in the root of your SD card (not in any folder).
Turn off your phone, disable HTC Fastboot if it's enabled, and power on holding Volume Down. This should start the Bootloader and it should read the PD98IMG.zip and flash it for you.
=====================================================
I guess you need to mention that the user has to get to the bootloader to install this...
Thanks once again..

[Q] Unable to Update to Gingerbread

hey everyone, I need a bit of help...
I have an unbranded Desire HD bought in Taipei
its rooted, with S-off.
The current version i'm running is 1.37
I tried to update to 1.84 but once I do, wifi stops working. I figured that upgrading to 2.3 will fix my problem so i downloaded the update using internet pass through.
but i am unable to update from 1.84-2.3. even if using clockwork recovery.
Any idea on what I should do?
Please help, I would prefer to have my phone up to date and in peak form.

You can't update if you are rooted, flash whatever version you want using an Ruu file.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
is it that simple? Will i have to wipe or no? and would it be too much to ask for a link to the Ruu files,
I'm at the office atm, i'll download the ruu file at home, so i'll probably search at home but if you reply before i'm off work i would be much obliged.
You can find the Gingerbread RUU on my site. You will need a goldcard if you have a branded/regional build. The RUU will only work natively with x.xx.405.x builds.

from forum got some bug on it, and recovery dont recognize it correctly.
Just to be sure...
After putting 1.30 rom, I try to put 1.33 on update in recovery, and also, only BOOTLOADER and RADIOs got updated.
So, if you want to debrand, you need to use 1.30, then try to update your system over air (OTA) to newest version. I think that will be easier.

Was it possible to change CID just to become unbranded?

Not sure have this being ask before. So,I have bought a Hk version of m8 HTC_622. Was thinking of changing from CID HTC_622 to HTC_044 (my country ) or 001(WWE). Was this process possible? How do I know my m8 is branded? I have downloaded the CID getter from Google play store. Which show HTC_622. My phone does come with some bloat wear like Tvb. But it can be removed or disabled. Any idea guys? Thanks in advance.

You need to s-off your device then you can change the cid, you need either firewater for that and if it doesn't work you have to use sunshine which costs around 25$ but it will s-off your device for sure...but why changing cid? Shouldn't be that cid a WWE one? Or amercian one? Also if you change the cid to one of the you want you need to install a stock WWE/Europe Rom

I'm aware of the s off thing, so basically what I need to do is s off, then change CID. Then install the firmware of my choice ? Btw,Do I need custom recovery for flashing some mod over like the Harman kardon mode? After flashing it , I need to flash back to stock recovery just to get ota updates not?

If you flash mods like h/k you might won't be able to get or flash official ota because system files will be changed! And yes for mods you need custom recoveries

For changing cid you just need s-off , to get s-off you need root your device, but maybe the newest build of sunshine apk will temp root it. But your device Is a Sprint one right? Because h/k phones are only in US from Sprint. So normally you need to go to one m8 Sprint forum for s-off and all other things because I think if you just change your cid to wwe user Europe one you won't be able to get ota as your stock Rom is a Sprint one but you need then wwe or Europe Rom...

If I want to flash a mod for the harman kardon. Which set of rom should I get? Odexed or deodexed? From what I heard odexed still can receive ota .Deodex is faster but once wipe cache and dalvik it need to rebuild something again. Am I right?

Always if you wipe dalvik cache it will rebuild it, and you need deodexed one, but if you flash h/k you still receive but can't flash newer ota due to changed system files

[Q] Flashing o2 recovery

I am wanting to go back to a stock recovery from TWRP. as Im going to pass this M8 on and buy and unlocked one, so...
my phone is:
Unlocked Bootloader,
Rooted with SUper SU
Using TWRP
My M8 is still S-ON and still has O2s stock 4.20.201.6 (LP 501) rom on it.
Ive found a nandroid backup from O2 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
extracted the recovery, but its 1.54.206.5
Would it be safe to flash through fastboot or would i need the matching recovery for the rom
Or because I havent done anything to the rom itself, can I simply restore recovery
Any Advice would be great
Thanks
EDIT
Hmm.... As I havent actually done anything to it, it looks like I just have to UnRoot the M8.,

You need the 4.20.201.6 stock recovery.
You may not be able to boot with 1.54.206.5 recovery

Not so far as Im aware. I know Samsung include an "Easy Mode" on their devices, but i cant remember one on the M8.. Ive checked in Both "Personalise" and "Display" in Settings, but I cant see an Easy mode.
Unless it was removed in LP 501, I dont know
It should be under Settings>Personalise>Home (or it is for me on the unbranded 4.16.401.10 build)
Ah I'm o2 branded so I presume o2 took it out or mine has bug it runs perfect no issues at all just no Easymode tried installing Google now launcher see if that made it shows to no avail and I'm 4.20.206.1 Build

You're not the first to say it's missing in a branded device. TBH it's not even worth worrying about, it's pretty useless!
Why not just try and get s-off? You will then be able to have an unlocked device.
