[Q]A problem with HTC TW RUU

Hey, guys. I bought my htc deisre 816 in taiwan and I don't like sd card write restrictions, so i unlock my bootloader and flash costum rom to fix it.
Now, I have a big isuess with my touch screen,finally I try to reback to stock rom,but It didn't work on my phone.
The ruu download net :http://pan.baidu.com/share/init?shareid=2244013006&uk=288682052 password gbe4
It from a Chinese forum call GFan. The net : http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7658364-1-1.html
I got isuess for the ruu video : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4yi7qYtkploc2k4aWNBSjJDU2s&authuser=0
So, can any one help me to fix it ?? Thanks :laugh::laugh:

Did you re-lock the bootloader before trying to flash the RUU?
Also "it didn't work can someone fix it" doesn't really give us any information. What exactly isn't working.

I am in Taiwan too,I flash cm12 android 5.0 . it is very good ROM .Do not back to stock ROM.that is my suggest.

To fix your touchscreen issues you need to go back to stock and update your device while on stock to get your bootloader to 3.19 as 3.18 is known to give touch issues especially with ROMs. If no updates are available then you must wait for the update to be pushed to your device model.
Also, you can't just use an RUU while your on a custom ROM. You have to restore a nandroid backup of your stock device with root, unroot, reboot to bootloader, flash stock recovery, and then relock bootloader. Start up your phone and at this point now you can use the RUU.
The only time you can do an RUU restore from a custom ROM, especially CM; is on devices that have S-Off as they completely wipe and reflash entire parts of the system.
Finally, the zip that miniwhooper posted has SD write permissions enabled along with init.d support and busybox.
This zip can be used during the root process instead of using the SuperSU zip by chainfire.

[Q] Need Desire 816 A5 Stock Recovery

Hi there,
I want to install the OTA Lolipop update on my Desire 816 A5 European Version, but I need the Stock Recovery. Can someone send me the stock recovery? I wasn't able to find one on the web or on XDA. So, I created this thread.

Thank you. Yesterday, I flashed the stock recovery and relocked the Desire 816. Now, on Bootloeader, it shows Relocked - Tampered - S-On
The ota installation doesn't work. Do you know, how to remove tampered ? Will this RUU work?

Okay, I'll do my best to guide you through this. We'll start with the unlock.bin that would have been obtained through the HTC developers website. Do you have it?

Did you relock the bootloader (this is required to RUU if s-on)?
If you did, than its not the right RUU.
Restore the nandroid if available (and this should always be the first thing that is done after installing custom recovery).
Another approach, if the bootloader is still unlocked, is to put a ROM on a removable SD card (using a computer and card reader), insert into the phone, and just flash the ROM from TWRP.
What CID?
What hboot number?
S-on or s-off?

my cid is 02-001 and i tried loads of ruu's but signiture fail

relocked
hboot / 3.16.0.0000
s-on

You need to re unlock the bootloader, install proper TWRP, restore stock 1.54.206.10 backup and install its stock recovery and do OTA to the latest before you can install most of the Sense based custom ROM on XDA.
Give me a few minutes, I'll put up link to download the backup in this thread :

You can't just run any RUU. The RUU needs to match your CID. I don't think O2 has RUUs. So you can run RUUs until the world ends, and they still won't work.
Basd on that, I suggest following the previous comment to unlock the bootloader again. From there, flash TWRP, then flash a ROM or stock nandroid (either put it on a removable SD or use adb push).

It's not easy to find a ROM for hboot 3.16.0000, there are some but it's bit tricky to find one. Maybe someone else can help you with custom ROM.
I can only help with TWRP backup - and I already put up link in the thread that I gave earlier.
So it's up to you how you want it.

Try a 4.4.2 ROM (there are a couple in the Development section - but as mentioned not many). You'll have trouble with anything newer, due to outdated firmware (hboot, etc.).

Like this ? (i'm Sorry i m too Slow)

and i did a Big mistake... i think i Bricked the Device......
Mistakenly i touched on "Format Data" instead of "Factory Reset" on TWRP 2.7.0.2... and then i tried to Flash MaximusHD 5.0.1 ROM... now everytime i touch on reboot, phone comes on on boot loader.... Did i do something wrong with partition ? what should i do ?

As i suspected. In your first post you wrote your hboot was 3.19.....but it's 3.16 and therefore way too low for the latest roms.
You need to update the firmware first, then TWRP to the latest one and then flash one of the latest MM roms.
What was your cid before you changed it to supercid ?
And no you didn't brick it. This is just a software issue. A brick is when the phone won't go the bootloader or recovery anymore.

Old cid should be a sprint one and software number is somewhat like 1.54.654.x
I would suggest to get back to a stock rom + recovery and then update the phones software + firmware via official ota.
Let's see if there is a backup available.
Edit :
I don't know much about sprint devices so check in the specific sprint section for a suited backup. The 1.54.654.x
Here you can find very detailed instructions on how to restore a backup successfully !

Edited my post above. Your supercid should not interfere with ota updates at all. More important is to get a pure stock backup. Or a RUU ..... hold on, a ruu would be an option too but it wipes the ENTIRE phone !
Edit : are you using it on sprint network ?
http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p..._NV_SPCS_1.52_003_release_418492_signed_2.exe
Here is a ruu that would suit your device. Put the phone in the bootloader/fastboot usb menu and execute the RUU.exe with admin rights from the pc (windows, usb 2.0 port connection) it will flash the phone to full stock.
When the ruu is successful you can flash the latest TWRP and flash the skydragon rom

You can't flash the latest roms NOT because of your CID but because the firmware is outdated ! And as far as i can tell about your MID is that it's a sprint device.
You can only flash old kitkat roms at this time.

Q.1 - i want to install SkyDragon 6.0 Marshmallow Sense 7 based Rom.. Do i Need or I have to install Stock 5.0.1 before flash 6.0 marshmallow ?
A. You only need to flash the firmware from Stock 5.0.1.
Go to the link below and flash this:
4.25.651.18 Full Firmware from RUU (fastboot flashable)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
This will also update your hboot to 3.19 so no need to answer Q.2.
Now, flash the latest TWRP, then go flash your favorite "SkyDragon 6.0 Marshmallow Sense 7 based Rom" by following the Dev's instructions on its OP.
All done.
Q.2- Do i need to update HBoot version ?
A. Answered Above.
Q.3- Do i need to update TWRP Recovery ?
A. Yes, flash the latest TWRP because the stock firmware you flashed has already replaced your custom recovery with a stock recovery. Obviously, you can't flash any custom ROM from Stock recovery.

I agree, its the Sprint version according to the Model ID. I also agree with the above posts, that RUU is the best way to update the firmware.
But be aware that firmware is not the only potential pitfall on the Sprint version. Custom ROM support for the Sprint version is a little tricky due to kernel differences (with most other versions of the M8). You either need to stick to ROMs that explicitly state they support Sprint; or you may also be able to flash the proper kernel to make the ROM work. As-is (without modifying the kernel) Viper MM will not work on Sprint. I was reading on the ARHD thread, that some Sprint folks got that ROM working with the proper kernel, so the same may be true for Viper. But you should read up and learn more before messing with these ROMs and kernels.

Help request

Hi , I cannot restore any ruu on my m8s
M8s
Boot relocked, stock recovery s-on
Cid orang001
Found the ruu for this cid is the one with orange UK
Tried aru flash ,not work, tried sdcars method , doesn't work
Tried to flash with latest twrp,unlocked boot and latest supersu, doesnt work
Tries crypted,unencrypted all kind of ruu,s it doesn't work
Can anyone explain wtf to do please?
My radio is the one with @6xxx something

I saw you opened may thread ... and almost no one respond to your request for help.
One thing .. you don't really explain what your problem is. One time you said your device was on bootloop after flashed SuperSU. I tried to help but I don't get what your problem is. You installed TWRP 2.8.6.0 meant for M8s (I hope) and installed SuperSU 2.76. Instead of getting a report whether you manage to boot or not, you asked ...
Ok installed fresh twrp 2.8.6.0 , latest super su , now wich ruu i have to install lol this is my var​
So what actually happened ?
Let me try to help you for one more time....
There is no RUU available for your current firmware and there is nothing much you can do with a S-On device ... for temporary fix to at least have a working phone ....
1. unlocked bootloader
2. install twrp-recovery-2.8.6.0-m8s-qlul.img - never use TWRP meant for regular M8, won't work on M8s
3. Download the 2.10.401.1 TWRP backup from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67192365&postcount=1
4. Extract the Stock MM TWRP.zip and place the content to your TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo/
5. Restore the backup in TWRP ... you should have a booting device
Then you can wait until the RUU for your device is available.
(I have no idea what the firmware no. is ... if not I can try to search for the RUU)

You should already made your own stock backup before you start to mess with your device.
So when something goes wrong, you can always recover.
That backup that I linked above is stock Marshmallow.

Thanks for the intention but donation is not needed.
Better if you can spend 25$ to S-Off the device then you can install that lower version orang001RUU but do this only if you need the orang001 ROM.
If you're happy with current ROM, no need to spend 25$ to S-Off
