I am trying to install RUU_Marvel_HTC_Europe_1.30.401.0_Radio_47.10.35.30 29H_7.46.35.08_release_183799_signed.exe and am getting error140 something about wrong bootloader version.
Can anyone help?
My Current version is ARA_1.47.415.1 + HBOOT 0.90.0.0

Try checking this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835777
and let's know if it helps !!!!

I am a little confused. Do need to have s-off to be able to do this? i mean to install the Europe RUU.
Note that my phone is not locked (not branded) but has s-on

just run it but don't continue or anything then find rom.zip somewhere in windows temp files then rename to PG76IMG.zip then copy to root of memory card then flash by holding Vol down + power when completely off fast boot uncheck.
Also you have to make a goldcard for this to work if you are s-on

Thanks. Ill try that

Pls help.Have WildFire S, Relocked bootloader, modified Hboot by this guide.When i'm trying to update my ROM using RUU, i have 140 Error.When i'm trying to update ROM using PG76IMG.zip bootloader ignores Update.
Smartphone info:

Which ROM are you trying to update to? The method that works for sure is described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467844
Just follow the instruction. Good luck

Tried to update 2.13.401.2 ROM.I haven't installed custom ROM, even recovery was stock.But i'll try.
I know about CID and GoldCard

[Q] Will Viper Rom V2.0 be available via OTA?

just flashed Viper rom and love it.
I noticed that in order to flash the newest version of Viper Rom you have to flash the firmware manually which is quite complicate for noobs like me
And it's confusing to choose the right firmware to flash, my M9 is in contract with Bell and I really don't want to brick my phone...
So is there any chance I can update form 1.9.1 to 2.x.x by OTA in the future?

No there won't be an OTA because of the new rom base. But you can download the zip from their site and install it on the old firmware if you choose the option with the old kernel.
In regard to your firmware update "problem": What version are you on? If you don't know you can find out by booting into download mode. It's stated in the line with "OS". If you are S-ON and not on a firmware version with 1.32.401.XX then the firmware update is not possible for you since the file is unsigned. In that case you can use Sunshine S-OFF and follow one of the guides here on xda to update your phone. Another option would be staying S-ON, flashing the correct RUU for your CID and your firmware version (both stated in download mode*) and update via the official HTC OTA. But at the moment the second method is not possible since version 1.40.XXX has not been distributed officially until now. So depending on your choice you may have to wait some weeks.
* Since there has not been any aboot update you are able to use RUUs for older firmware versions, too. For example you could use 1.32.401.8 even if you were on 1.32.401.15.

Thank you for your reply! But Im still confused about which zip should I flash. In the download link there are firmware package for US carriers and international version. I bought my phone from Bell Canada under a 2-yr contract, can I flash the international one?

As I said you need to know your actual firmware version and your CID. Both are stated in download mode (the firmware version is called "OS"). Without these information no one can tell you which RUU to use.

My CID num is BM_001 and OS is 1.3.2.66.30.
There is one on RUU site called "0PJAIMG_HIMA_UL_L50_SENSE70_ATT_BM_1.32.666.6_R2_Radio_01.01_U11440221_59.04.50303G_2_F_release_426170_signed.zip"
is this the correct one? What's difference bet. a "OPJAIMG" and a "RUU"? Sorry there are lots of things I don't know

As you never stated it before I assume your phone is S-ON (again stated in download mode). So you can try that file without having to fear a brick since the worst case scenario is that it simply won't flash. All you have to do now is the following:
Warning all files and data except the ones on your external SD card are going to be deleted
Download the RUU
Rename it to 0PJAIMG.zip
Copy the file on an external SD card that is formatted to fat32 and not bigger than 32 gb
Boot into download mode
Follow the instructions that are shown on your M9's screen
Congratulation you are now back on stock rom and firmware
But just to clarify it again: The 1.40 firmware has not been distributed by HTC yet. All you can do for now is updating to the firmware version you had installed before running the RUU.
"0PJAXXX" (that's a zero not an O) is just the name of your device and I guess the "IMG" should indicate that the file is an image of the software. The XXX may differ depending on the model you own.

Rooting without Revolutionary

Hi,
I want to increase my internal memory by using Link2SD, for which I need my phone rooted. I have spent 2 days already trying to figure this out, but I have made zero progress. I have tried everything I could google, but most guides refer to revolutionary.io website, which is down.
I found this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1600904
Even though it's for Incredible, I though the steps would be similar, perhaps with different files. Anyway, I'm stuck on step one where I need to unlock bootloader using HTCdev.
fastboot oem get_identifier_token returns command error:
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.010s]
finished. total time: 0.010s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am sure I have all my drivers installed correctly, both adb and fastboot work just fine (both show device when connected).
From what I understand, it is because of my HBOOT version, right? I tried running different RUUs I could find, but it always ends up with an error - either model id error [130], or something saying my image is newer than the one I want to upload (maybe it's bootloader version error [140], I don't remember now).
How should I proceed now?
Thanks

It won't, because HTCDEV unlock is necessary for it. And we can't perform it because of the reasons explained in the first post.

Hello guys! Will this method work with 2.2.2 and HBoot 0.93.0001? I was trying to find the downgrade utility to 2.1 so i could use unrevoked, but unfortunately all links are dead.

Hi! You can Root with unrevoked.com
then S-off with alpharev.nl
and then flash any firmware.
Or you can flash any RUU firmware, but you need downgrade your firmware version with this Tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24039156#post24039156
make sure: do not download and flash 2.3 firmware in step 2, download and flash for example RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2

Desire Bravo can you help me?
@Desire Bravo,
You can also root your Desire (After you get your bootloader unlocked, of course) with Super One Click, this will work if you press the "Root" button while the HTC logo is displayed.
Are you the author of this russian tutorial?
I need help with the "downgrade.zip" and the second "PB99IMG.zip" files, seems to be missing. On the other hand, I don't know when I should flash the first "PB99IMG.zip" file or how to overwrite the "misc" partition. Can you help me with this?
Thank you very much in advance. Best regards.

Hi! Yes i can help, what is your hboot version? write info from the bootloader (vol down + power)
Are you from usa? Downgrade your Firmware version nummer, then try flash RUU Telstra from http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...8.00.32U_5.11.05.14_release_150162_signed.exe
and unlock with htc dev

@Desire Bravo

HBOOT 1.02.0001 Bootloader Locked. S-ON
Firmware version 2.3.3 Gingerbread signed 3.14.405.1
No, I'm from Spain (GSM Phone, not CDMA).
So I will use RUU WWE 2.29.405.5 firmware, but I don't know in which one of those steps I should flash the first PB99IMG.zip file (the modified "rom.zip"), neither how to overwrite the misc partition
Thank you very much in advance. Best regards.

Soooo Have you downgrade firmware version? if yes, you have version 1.15.405.3 and now you can flash "any" RUU an firmware. Try flash .exe (boot too bootloader and run Ruu 2.29.405.5 . exe ) http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
OR extract rom.zip rename to PB99IMG and flash with pB methode.
OR follow this guide and write 2.29.405.14 manuell http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1550397
then run PB9920000_Bravo_Froyo_hboot_1.03.0003_R.exe

u cant just run "any" ruu otherwise why would there be so many? why not only one for each android version?
if his phone is branded, vodafone etc etc then a wwe ruu would not work, or atleast shouldnt, it would give id error. u should ask these questions first before telling people to run ruu's.

ok if you know more, tell but there isn't enough choice on the site htc dev.
At me too branded t-mobile desire, that to me didn't prevent to flash RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5 then to flash update OTA_2.29.405.14_ and then PB9920000_Bravo_Froyo_hboot_1.03.0003_R
I told as at me it turned out, at others it can not turn out, then it is necessary to try with other firmware therefore I also told "any"
I now will make experiment, it became interesting to me))
UPD: i have found simple way to update hboot 1.02 - to 1.03
I will write small tutorial soon

@Desire Bravo,
No, I didn't downgrade my firmware version yet, as I don't know when I have to flash the rom.zip file (renamed as PB99IMG.zip), that's what I'm asking to you.
On the other hand, I don't know how to overwrite the "misc" partition.
So, when I fully understand "how" and "when" to perform each one of those steps I will go ahead with the tutorial.
@jmcclue,
My original firmware was FR83G (Orange) Android Froyo, signed 2.29.405.14, I have found this firmware in a .tar.gz file but don't how to flash it as it's not a zip or a RUU file.
Can I decompress the .tar.gz and put its content in a .zip file? If it's not, please, can you tell me how to get a valid FR83G file?
Do you know how to overwrite the "misc" partition of the Desire?
Thank you very much in advance to both of you. Best regards.

ROM.zip is same as RUU zip. You need firmware.zip from inside ROM.zip. This is just a small zip that contains hboot, radio, recovery, kernel, and several other partitions, but does not contain the ROM/OS.
You can also get the firmware and RUU zips from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
If its the Sprint H/K version you have, the firmware number should be 6.20.654.3
Directions on flashing the firmware are on the linked thread.

HTC 10 Back to Stock

Dears,
I am currently using Viper Rom 3.5 the lastest version but suffering from bad battery life,
I want to return to Stock my CID is HTC__J15
my current base version is 1.95.401.4
any help.
thanks

Easiest way is to ruu

I also returned to stock from Viper, not because of battery issue, but felt tired on cat-and-mouse game for hiding modified bootloader and root when using Android Pay...
You need to do is to search Internet and find the exact OS version RUU (1.95.401.4). If only have earlier version (e.g. 1.50.401.4) then you need to S-Off first, then you can flash earlier version for your variant. (I also purchased Sunshine to s-off before flashing earlier version of RUU).

my CID is HTC__J15 ,
1.95.401.4
i tried the ruu zip but show me an error message (didnt even flash )
any idea. thanks guys

How are you flashing it? SD card in download mode? Or using ruu.exe? If from SD card did you make sure to rename the package to 2ps6img.zip?

Let check carefully what version of your ruu is? From Internet I can only find this one (1.21.401.4):
2PS6IMG_PERFUME_UHL_M60_SENSE80GP_HTC_Europe_1.21.401.4_R_Radio_1.0.U01001360331.4_41.13_F_release_477256_signed_2_4.zip
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591023225177702
If you are still S-ON, you can't flash earlier version of RUU, the only way is to either find the exact version of RUU (1.95.401.4) or S-OFF first. You can purchase Sunshine to S-OFF, then are able to flash back to stock ROM with version 1.21.401.4. Once back, you can through OTA to update to latest 1.95.401.4.
