well done.
since hboot 1.09.0099 is included I have the strong feeling this is the last update for the wildfire s

Will post on a faster download site once it eventually gets here. No issues with losing S-OFF?

I'm assuming too that we'll lose bootloader unlock and have to go through the whole update/unlock process again. Am I wrong?

can u plz check if it contains arabic language ?

Nope, I've updated and still s-off.
Although in the bootloader it says locked, it still says ship S-off.
Radio seems to give me better signal.
I can't get this rom rooted though. Apps requiring superuser are denied.

But I'm s-off, I've never had any problems with rooting previous stock roms.

I think the updated radio has more security added to it.

To root that rom just enter the CWM recovery and install this zip file:

It doesn't contain the arabic language.

Done that but apps were being denied superuser permission.
I'll try the zip that d33psx1 provided and see what happens.

Another noobish question
So I've got:
CWM 5.0.2.8 S-On
HBOOT-1.08.0099
RADIO-7.53.39.03M
How do I update? Do I just install the RUU, and then follow the HTCDev bootloader unlock and then root the phone again or do I need to take any other steps?

ERROR 140 while updating
Hello guys,
i want to update my wfs to get the latest hboot and radio.
i have an unlocked bootloader and hboot 1.08.099 and i'm running the latest cm7.2 version by alquez.
my procedure was to relock my bootloader via fastboot oem lock (to avoid the 155 error) and then i run the ruu.exe (my mobile was in fastboot usb mode all the time and yes i cleared cache etc)
at first everything seems to be fine but when the exe update the signature (or sth like that) the setup aborted with the message "RUU Fehler 140 Bootloader Version" (i'm german.. so fehler <> error)
Does anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks
NQNH

I updated to last ruu and loader says now locked but i have installed super user(rezo provided) and everything is working so i will leave as it is now(even if it says bootlader locked)

Hi NQNH
I had the exact same error. This is what you need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21408713#post21408713
It seems that the "PG7610000_Marvel_hboot_1.08.0099_20111216.exe" you probably had to install to unlock your phone made a change to a version number in your misc.img.
Mine was something like 2.17.0.0 instead of 1.08.0099.
After the RUU failed you will be able to see something like "Main version is older" on the phone's screen (if you get rid of the HTC logo)

can someone extract the radio from that ruu?

Unlocking my bootloader

I wanted to unlock my DHD's bootloader and flash a custom rom on it with the S-On method which require me to manually flash the boot everytime i flash a rom.
But i was unable to unlock my bootloader due to i was unable to get the identifier token from fastboot... I check on HTC dev website and it require me to upgrade my bootloader, yet again... failed!
I also tried the bootloader unlocking tool and it automatically download PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029 RUU for me and the result also same as the one i downloaded from HTC dev

As i know the previous owner did unlock and flash a custom rom on it before, and later he send it back to HTC service centre to flash it back to stock gingerbread
Any help / suggestions are appreciated and welcomed
Should download a RUU and reflash the phone?

did you already tried flashing it with different method...
you can read a guide in here..., this thread guide for htc sensation thread, but the guide is the same as for dhd too (but don't rename it like PG58IMG.zip for DHD..because this name code for sensation only, for DHD just rename it PD98IMG.zip)
just read guide especially at step 4.1 and 4.4, 4.4.1, 4.4.2
hope this help..and good luck..

no..you don't needed flashing a full RUU...
just upgrade file firmware / hboot from the htc site that you're already download it..(this is will update it your hboot to version 2.00.0029)
you can try it in two way method..
1. flashing it PD98IMG.zip with fastboot method...
2. flashing it that loaded PD98IMG.zip file via bootloader from your sdcard..

Ok i will try that later...
So basically the bootloader that can't support HTC dev unlock (or those that require a further update) are those without the "LOCKED" or "RELOCKED" status right?
And is the AAHK2 by Phiber2000 safe to unlock, s-off and root my phone?

yap..when htc launching the latest ota update (full RUU for DHD) just had a version of bootloader 2.00.0027, that time the htc itself is not yet officially opening/launching for supporting unlocking the bootloader..because of that..the version 2.00.0027 is not yet support for unlocking..and that's why don't have a state of LOCKED in the top of that bootloader too..so to unlocking you must update bootloader first to 2.00.0029 from that website..
AAHK2 is a simple way to fully rooting and had eng hboot for your DHD...i think that's a safe too..provide it if you follow all step carefully and follow all the rules that are required from that script it self...and because i've already using that script for 6 DHD..all the result is success..even with some of that DHD had some of little troubled while running that script..but i'm still can handle it..
just a advice from me...before you begin running that script..just read carefully and understand it all inside that thread (especially about a branded sdcard that are mentioned in there thread)..and prepared all stuff that are required..
good luck...

If your build vesion is not supported to update the bootloader, you will need create a goldcard in order to flash a RUU with a build version that supports unlocking. That is the way...takes time and S-OFF is a better option IMO

I have successfully unlock the bootloader by the method @JJeamy show me, thank you very much for guiding me on how to unlock it :good::good::good:
Actually the process isn't very hard just go to HTC dev and download the bootloader that match your build number and manually flash the update by using fastboot and proceed to unlock the phone as instructed on htc dev

Can't install ROM or update

I hope that someone can help me with this problem. Sorry it is such a long post, but I thought it might help with diagnosis if I wrote it all down.
I have an HTC One X with Android 4.02. It was purchased from Optus. I followed the process on the HTC web site to root and unlock the phone. Since that time I have never been able to update automatically. I contacted both Optus and HTC and was told that this was because of the root and, more or less, “bad luck!” I’ve tried to manually update the zip file with CWM but just get an error message and abort update.
From time to time, the phone would lag badly and run slower and slower. The only way that I could fix it was to backup all the apps and data using Titanium backup; uninstall all the apps; and then re-install them. Afterwards, all would be fine again for several months. A couple of months ago, it began to happen again and I uninstalled/reinstalled, but this time it didn’t help. Finally, after trying to figure out what to do, I did a system reset and then reinstalled everything and everything worked fine except that one of my apps (one I use all the time!) now will not work at all.
I decided that this might be because I needed to update to a newer version of Android. Unfortunately, when I tried to install CM 10.2, the installation failed. I thought that this might be because the Bootloader was too old (v. 0.95) but I read that if it was an AOSP Rom that I wouldn’t need to update the bootloader. So, I tried to flash Xenon, but again no luck. I’ve scoured the forums, but can’t seem to find anything that matches this issue.
The phone is definitely rooted. I’ve previously installed new Roms on my old HTC Desire, so I’m pretty sure I’m doing it right. However, I’m by no means a particularly sophisticated user and quite often the discussion in the forums is a bit esoteric for me.
Do I need to update the bootloader? If I do, then do I need to unroot the phone first then update then re-root?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi
Can you give some details of the phone? CID?, international version?, S-On or off?, etc?
In short i think it is a good idea to update to a more recent bootloader. Then get yourself on to a newer ROM.
You might also want to consider twrp (big) as a new recovery.
This forum has lots of info.
Also take a look at www.onexroot.com
Thanks

The CID is OPTUS001.
The phone was purchased in Australia from the Optus network - I'm guessing then, that is an international.
The phone is S-on. From what I was reading when I was figuring out how to find whether it was On or Off, it seems like it needs to be Off to install any new Rom. I'd that right?
THanks for your help.

You can flash ROMs with S-ON. I fact its good to leave it as S-ON in case you flash the wrong firmware. Saved my bacon a few times.
Even if you bought it through Optus doesn't necessarily mean an international. Ca you post a screen shot of the boot loader screen. That will tell us.
Also an you find the CID number? There's some apps that can give you the the number. It looks like HTC-xyz. This will help in finding the right firmware.
good luck.

Nope, link still doesn't work. Use the attachments button when replying to attached the screenshot.
If that still doesn't work then let me know what the first three lines are when you are in fastboot mode. (Hold Vol down and power until you enter fastboot). The reason i want this info is to confirm you have the international version of HOX. If the second line contains the words "Endeavoru" then you have the international version, and we can then find the right ROM and recovery for you to use.
Also this is the link to download Hboot 1.36 for OPTUS001. http://d-h.st/users/ClydeB1/?fld_id=8110. Download this and keep it handy.
I am assuming that your bootloader is unlocked. First line tells you this. Did you use the site http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/? Do you still have the unlock token?

Here are the first 9 lines. Don't know why it doesn't work.

The unlock token usually arrives by email. Do you still have the email? If not go thru the process again and get the token. Then keep the token. You need it after you flash the firmware.zip (new HBOOT)
The question you might want to think about is what ROM are you planning to install? That suggests the custom recovery you need to install. For instance HOX international works well on Lollipop but you have to reformat the memory using twrp-big. A simple task that you can find on www.onexroot.com.
Once you answer the ROM question, the steps would be as follows. Instructions can be provided if needs be.
1. Flash custom recovery of your choice
2 Flash the firmware.zip (HBOOT)
3. Flash the ROM of your choise.
Or you can go down the path that Thant is suggesting. I did the Lollipop upgrade using Resurrection Remix ROM after doing steps 1 and 2.
Thanks

Step 1 must to be after step 2, because if he flash firmware after recovery will be with stock recovery and not be possible to flash rom with stock recovery and must to flash again custom recovery. But how I think he is not a good with android devices don't have good skil to flash the firmware by him self. I suggest to answare my question and then to see if we can find RUU

Thank you both. Sorry for the delay in responding. Family emergency and I've not had time. I'll follow up in a day or so.

Thanks. I'll try it and let you know.

I've tried running the RUU. When it asks me to verify the ROM image version I want to update, the "To:"version is the same as the "From:"version. They are both 1.28.980.11 Before I go ahead, is that correct? Shouldn't it be a different version of the ROM image?

GO and see if the RUU will finish if yes this is good if give you error we will see what will do.
Yes they are the same but if RUU finish you will be complete stock and then will update wia Wi-Fi stock rom to latest hboot. Don't forget to relock your bootloader
replay if rUU finish and dont forget to make nandroid backup when you install new rom after update to latest hboot for your carrier

Flashed custom ROM but SIM stopped working

Ok so I posted in another thread where I was trying to flash a custom but a few things went wrong but help has been slow there so I thought it may be better to post here.
I got MM through OTA updates, this was when my M9 was bootloader LOCKED, not custom recovery, everything stock. After I was on MM for a few days I used htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader, then I got TWRP 3.0.0 and then I got SuperSU 2.65 and installed it through TWRP. Before installing SuperSU I made a backup through TWRP of Boot, System and Data. I copied this backup to my computer as well. At this point this is the current information on the M9 (Look at 3 attached screenshots as well):
kernel: lk
product: htc_himaulatt
version: 1.0
version-main: 3.38.1500.2
boot-mode: download
version-baseband: 01.01_U11440801_96.01.51207G_F
version-bootloader: 1.0.0.0000
mid: 0PJA11000
cid: GLOBA001
So after creating the backup, I installed SuperSU 2.65, then booted up the phone, everythings fine. So I went back to TWRP and installed Android Revolution HD 20.0 (had it on an sd card) and used the wipe data option it gives before installing. So after a long time of optimizing apps the phone boots up and starts the setup. I got to entering google account information and it asked for 2 step verification which sends a code to my phone number, but I then noticed I had no signal and it said No Service so I couldn't sign in to Google and had to skip that. After the rest of the setup I popped out the SIM and put it back, still nothing (keep in mind the SIM is locked with a pin if that affects anything, but it never even asked for the pin).
Now I go to Accounts and try adding my google account but the phone gets stuck at checking info... and while i can use the rest of the phone there is no way for me to sign into any google account now because every attempt results in checking info loop. I tried to reboot the phone multiple times but that did nothing. Last thing to note is that when i went to Settings -> About, there was no IMEI number as well as other information about the phone was missing so something went wrong for sure.
After that I restored from the TWRP backup and its back to normal, SIM working, Google acc working, all that is good like it was before. So any suggestions on how to get ARHD 20 now? I noticed that since I'm on 3.38.1500.2 which is higher than the firmware that ARHD uses, maybe that is the problem since I'm essentially downgrading the firmware right? I read that you can't downgrade firmware unless you are S-off but my M9 is S-on. All help is appreciated

Instead of twrp 3, use 2.9.0.1 and then flash supersu 2.65.
The problem lies with twrp. Supersu has its own issues so only 2.65!
ONLY TWRP 2.9.0.1 AND SUPERSU 2.65 FOR MM HTC M9! YOU WILL ENCOUNTER ISSUES OTHERWISE!
S-off is worth paying for too.

Yea SuperSU 2.65 I understand but I heard 2.9.1.2 is quite stable? You don't agree?

Not tried it. I just flashed 2.9.0.1 and stuck with it because it boots. Beggars can't be choosers and a working phone is better than a broken one.

Just wanna update my situation as it is resolved and the solution: S-OFF
I was on 3.38 with twrp 3.0 and SuperSU 2.65 and flashing ARHD 20.0 (which is on 3.35) was messed up as my SIM card wasn't working and signing into Google account was not working.
I restored my nandroid backup, installed SuperSU 2.65 again and then bought S-OFF, which allowed me to change my cid to HTC__001 and mid to 0PJA10000. Next i flashed a nandroid that someone uploaded of 3.35.401.12 and once that was done I flashed ARHD 20.0 and boom its done. Basically from what I understand you can't flash ARHD 20.0 if the firmware you are on is lower (i failed to go from 3.38 to 3.35). Also my SKU was 1500 but ARHD is 401 so that might be a factor as well. So yea S-OFF is great

Future Note.
Always try to stick with the general update the ROM is based off of. The System partition in STOCK/CUSTOM roms have a firmware folder that have drivers and config files that are meant to be used with the firmware.zip originally in that update.
For example (not real sw numbers)
HTC releases an official update 3.40.1540.1
3.40.XXXX.X is generally the base while X.XX.1540.1 is any software mods made by carriers or specific region teams. Firmware Updates (Radio Baseband, TouchScreen Driver, etc) are released along side the actual Android/HTC software. These official ROMS have config files that are design around this new firmware. When developers here on XDA make custom roms they are in a weird XDA way a carrier (3.40.ARHD.1 etc). They modify the HTC rom and make it their own, but their roms are still based off that firmware update.
So if you start using a custom rom based off 3.40, but the last firmware your phone installed is 3.10. You will run into issues and they might be small (less battery life or cell signal) or pretty big. Your sim not working, or wifi, or any number of issues. Stick to ROMS based off the firmware you have on your phone. Or if youre S-OFF and want to take that ever present risk. Update your firmware to that newer version.

Can you go into a little more detail? I am S-off and unlocked. I upgraded to the latest Tmobile MM and then flashed ARHD and got the sim error/no signal. you changed your CID and MID? where did you get the MM nandroid from?

Yea if you go to settings -> about -> software information it should say your firmware version. If your version is NOT 3.35 you'll get this problem, here are the nandroid files, you only need the 3.35 one but if I understand correctly restoring from this nandroid might make you lose all data. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=48820
ALSO that nandroid is for 401 SKU which is HTC WWE, so if you're locked to tmobile i dont know how that'll affect you so dont just restore to that nandroid.
And yea i changed my CID and MID : (idk if you know but you need extra files on your pc to run the following commands from pc)
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
fastboot oem writemid 0PJA10000
fastboot reboot
I did this right before the nandroid restore and everything turned out fine.

Awesome man thanks so much! that nandroid took care of it, couldn't find one.

Did you get the phone in a locked, or unlocked state?
If locked, did you use Sunshine or a HTC unlock (the former option costs $$ and I would't recommend fabricated keys as they can break the device).
T-Mobile DE - a german version of the phone, or US version with German settings?
To reboot in RUU, you'll need to do so through ADB, while connected to a computer.
In order to run RUU, you actually have to re-lock the bootloader if it's unlocked. You also need to disable SuperCID, if it is enabled.
Do you have any more details? I was going to suggest a website that @graffixnyc used to keep updates on, but I don't see the list of files there anymore.
I bought mine three years ago and I feel bad that your outcome is like this.

The files are still there, they are just under Development Portfolio -> XDA Development Work -> Rom Development. http://graffixnyc.com/m8.php
