Hi guys,
I own a Fastweb branded desire and back key isn't working anymore.
So I'm tring to restore the branded official rom for warranty.
I got s-off and root and my gold card is in.
I've flashed the old modaco r6 rom to avoid main version is older and flashed downgrade hboot(alpharev) too.
When I start the ruu hboot 0.75 and old radio are flashed properly, but I still have custom splash and cwm recovery also system is untouched.
Ruu stops with error 140 bootloader problem.
I'm still able to flash custom roms and I can s-off again, but I really don't know what to do.
Any help?
Thanks.
Best regards.
Jus

Sorry mate, is there a way to change section?
jussy,
I had exactly the same problem so I'll answer even tho this is the wrong thread. You have to start first by extracting the zip file from the RUU. Run the RUU until it gets to the first screen then leave it there (don't close it).
Go to Start -> Run and type %temp%.
Find the temporary folder folder that's just been created (sort based on date) and find a file called 'rom.zip'. Copy this file into another location and close the RUU.

Thanks for replay.
I've extracted rom.zip and renamed to PB99IMG.zip. tried to flash it in fastboot.
Flash process start but stops before finishing leave me in the same situation as before. If I want to flash it again gives me main version is older.
I've s-off it 10 times today and made many try.
EDIT: I've also tried to flash via fastboot commander the .img files in rom.zip but after that I could only access fastboot.
Now I've flash a generic ruu to make it boot.
Tbh mate I'm not sure how to change it lol.. mayb delete and repost in q&a..
Just beware of flames coming your way lol

Dude, don't flash the zip, just put it in the root of your SD, then switch phone off, hold vol down button and reboot into recovery, your phone will recognize the pb99img.zip and some options should come up. Follow the on screen instructions and you should be unrooted in 15 mins max.

Sorry for my bad english but what you said is what I've done.
1-root and s-off.
2-flash downgrade hboot(alpharev).
3-put PB99IMG.zip (extract as said from my branded ruu) on sd card root.
4-boot power + vol down.
5-It starts, step 1 goes well then at the end of step 2 screen became black and came back with 0.75 hboot s-on and if I try again it gives me main version is older.
So I can only reboot, reflash a rom and s-off it again.
Never ending loop...
Thanks anyway.
You are using wrong RUU.use the RUU with 5.11.05.27 , I am on mobile so can't give you the exect link.I will post it tomorrow for you, if you can't find.
And it is better to create a goldcard if you havent yet

I've got my gold card already in.
Sadly there's only one ruu for my carrier.
I can flash a generic froyo ruu but it's not good for warranty.
I can't really help in terms of your issue.
If I remember right, I booted into the bootloader and switched on fastboot, then ran the RUU EXE making sure my phone was connected to my pc.
It eventually came right.
Saying that, after I got the stock ROM back on, my phone went ape (and to this day I have no idea why). Random restarts. Freezing. It was crazy. I had to upgrade the RUU for it to stay on properly. Was really weird.
There are so many threads about rooting for warrantee purposes, perhaps search them or go through thier instructions, cause I'm sure someone may have had the same issue.
Wish I could help you though.

Sorry guys I got an other problem...
Now this is the second time I bring it to assistence (last time was for vol down) and when they give it back to me it was updated to froyo.
I'm facing problem with 1.15=>1.21 OTA, installation is aborted due to status 7 (if some one can help I'll post the full error message).
Unfortunetly the ruu I've used is the only one from my carrier.
Will they know that my phone was updated by them and I'll lose my warranty?
Any idea about fixing status 7?
Many thanks.

You need to reflash with the original RUU, you can find some RUUs from here: http://www.filefactory.com/f/7cc7b2fbdd03c031/
THIS PROCESS NEEDS A RELOCKED PHONE. (fastboot oem lock).
edit: the RUU for your version isnt published already. You need to wait for the RUU, Why can you use an older version? You can't because the DOWNGRADE isn't posible with S-ON.
If you know what file you modified, maybe extract it from a similar ROM and adb push it?
if youve edited the build.prop without backing it up first then quite simply youre asking for trouble....
ALWAYS Nandroid and back up anything before altering it.
If you can access download mode then your safe, just connect up usb for fastboot and run a downloaded RUU, if youre not sure what rom to get then id try HTC EUROPE ones they first, these are probably the most common ones.

i will backup the file to PC in next time when i edit any system file...... i have learn a lesson
Yer try not to mess with the build.prop, i know its fun to tinker and see what can be achieved, but there is also a serious risk that comes with it, unfortunatley the file will stop your phone dead if you mess it up, if you save a backup to your pc then worst case you can push it to your phone via adb and overwrite the damaged one.
What CID are u on, eg, htc--001 ??, cidgetter works from market but not much use if you cant boot up, also what firmware are you running now, release, radio and release keys, that way you could extract the boot, recovery and system from the file and just flash them in bootloader.
YOU must relock your bootlock first, the above command in other post was the one to do that, if not, have u tried to flash CWM 5.8.3.1, and install from the recovery youll get both the super su and a custom rom, like android revolution, this way youll be back up and running on a custom rom based on the latest 1.29, you could then download the 1.29 ruu and run it, again after relocking the bootloader and for good measure download and install htcsync, the program delivers a much better driver for the one x, that should get you back to factory, unrooted, stock boot and firmware.
if the ruu isnt avail, find out what your latest ruu is and look for a custom rom based on that.
Keep us informed how you get on, im sorry you learnt the lesson the hard way, i would not wish this to happen to anyone, except for maybe Bill Gates lmao, but then he would just throw it in the bin and go buy another one ha ha.
I hope you get it sorted and remember, before you tinker, READ the guides on XDA, they are good and will really help you and always make a backup of anything you wish to experiment with.
Good luck.
If you still remember the file, try to get it from someone with the same version as you and push it through adb or recovery (if you can go to hboot, surely you can flash cwm again).

I hope u can read chinese
I had the same problem... and before.. i just flash the RUU again, but after i upgraded to 1.29.. that didn't work...(The RUU I had was 1.26) so with ALOT of searching on the internet.. i found the below Chinese site.. and luckily i can read chinese too...
anyway hope it helps.
Basically what i did was force the recovery to be install on my phone.. but there is a down side.. me alarm doesn't work.. everytime i try to change the alarm sound it just reboot... i am still trying to find a way to fix it... and maybe flash the 1.28 RUU to see if that will work.... but that will have to wait until tonite.
http://bbs.xda.cn/thread-11018720-1-1.html
last night , i had make a fake RUU(basic on 1.28.708.10 HongKong Version RUU,included recovery.img,boot.img,system.img) and flash it ,the result is my phone is recovered , all function is normal and i can get OTA now !!

thanks for your help mate, that link is already saved on my bookmark, still no updates for RUU for HTC_Asia_WWE_1.29.707.11
>ok what i did, i update OTA my HOX from version 1.28 to this 1.29.707.11
then i installed a custom tweak for status bar, knowing that it's not compatible with new version anymore, so after installing my status bar went blank, its gone...
so i decided to try to install a custom rom, i tried HD Revolution..
I copied the ROM file, then followed steps, like flashed superswipe then flashed the rom in the recovery... the custom rom is based on a different version, so it failed to install, then since i did a superswipe, now all files including system files on my phone is gone, it's completely empty
now my phone boots only up to the HTC logo screen...
the only solution that i can think is to flash RUU of 1.29.707.11.. is there any other option on how to fix this???

Hello onat_kippz,
I'm facing the same problem as you too. I think I'm in a "bootloop", can't get pass the HTC one(TM) screen with the beatsaudio logo at the bottom. You are facing the same thing too?
Like you, I have tried a few versions of RUU (ASIA WWE 1.28.707.10 and ASIA SEA WWE 1.29.728.12), the first one gave me an Error 140: Bootloader version error, and the second one i got an Error 130: Model ID Error. I was previously on 1.29.707.11.
Other than waiting for the RUU version to come out, have you thought of any ideas? I tried mounting the device in recovery mode and try to push a custom rom img file over, but i couldn't mount it at all. Would have been easier if there is an external microSD card slot. Never thought highly of the feature until now...
How I got into this mess in the first place? I was just trying to remove the irritating 3-dot menu at the bottom of most apps, and trying to save some screen real estate. Much regrets...
By the way, which country is your device from? Mine is from Malaysia.
I'm downloading the 1.29.707.11 and will upload and post in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604 in next two hours if there is no one else upload it.

First some ground rules:
-You have to use your region's RUU (XXX in RUU x.xx.XXX.x name)
-You cannot install previous version of RUU on your phone once you install a newer version with a newer HBOOT. It won't work.
-With most custom ROMs, since they don't upgrade HBOOT even though they use a newer base such as 401.11, you have the freedom of going to a previous RUU version.
Once you download your RUU, take a look at here (thanks to JDR0iD):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599748
Also, you can use this tool to make your lifes easier (thanks to hasoon2000):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24967468&postcount=1
If you don't want to lose whatever is on your phone, I would recommend running the RUU installer and while it's waiting for your OK on your PC, go to your %temp% directory, find the latest directory created, there you will find the rom.zip. Copy that to somewhere else (like your desktop), unzip and you will see all the img files you need: boot.img recovery.img hboot.img etc. Then you can use the tool in the second link to install these image files in proper order.
Or, if you don't care whats on the phone, hit OK on the RUU window
Thanks! problem solved!

I wanted to make a small guide how to return your HTC one m9 to stock with RUU exe installer. The steps are pretty simple so please follow them. Please note that this is only for WWE international models. Same procedure can be done for other regions, however, the files are different. Doing this, you will also get a latest Marshmallow and 3.35.401.12 update! This will save you of hassle to copy and flash your phone several times over to get it done, this procedure does all that. You will not even need to open a command prompt.
Before you do this procedure backup yours files somewhere safe. This will wipe everything you have on the phone to stock settings. This will also unroot your device and remove custom recovery if you had any.
Follow this guide step by step. Do not open / run anything if I haven't said so.
1. For sake of being organized make a new folder on your desktop called "RUU" and make sure your phone has more than 30% battery otherwise RUU procedure wont work.
2. Download HTC sync manager from here and install it (this can help if RUU installer starts derping with USB connections etc : http://www.htc.com/us/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx
3. Download the RUU exe from here and put it in the RUU folder you created on the desktop: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952597788
4. Download the rom.zip file from here and put it in the RUU folder on your desktop. File name needs to be rom.zip
5. Navigate to TEMP folder by typing %temp% in the search bar. If you can't find the temp folder this way then simply navigate to: C:\Users\PCname\AppData\Local\Temp
6. Select all folders you see there and delete them. If you get a file in use or skip message then please do so.
7. Go back to the RUU folder we created earlier and run the RUU exe file from step 3 as an admin. Give it a little time to load and once you are here don't press on next.
8. Copy rom.zip file from RUU folder and navigate to %temp% folder. Paste rom.zip file here: http://prntscr.com/a5gwae
9. Once copying is finished go back to the RUU exe window from step 7 and start clicking next until it prompts you to update. Click on update to 3.35.401.12.
10. During this procedure the phone will go on and off for a few times and after several minutes it will give the message that procedure has been finished successfully.
- Please note that all files are official. Hope this little guide helped you.
TnQ so much man. I was searching for this RUU for a while but couldn't find it. I'm gonna test it tomorrow. BTW i have an unlocked bootloader and s-on, do i need to relock bootloader before installing RUU?
No, you don't have to.
Or just rename the rom.zip to 0PJAIMG.zip copy to the sd card root, after that power off the phone hold vol- and power select download mode and follow the instructions on the screen.
BTW thx for the rom
why is this not stickied?

Downgrades are not possible as long as you are S-ON. You need S-OFF to do this.
Send by the swarm intelligence of my coffee machine ?.
Ok so I could flash the same firmware via this method so long as the ruu matches? Unless of course I could s-off then s-on before sending the phone back in.

Please don't post more or less the same question in several threads. It's considered as rude behaviour on xda.
An xda search for "demo" would have been enough for finding this thread. If you read the whole thread you'll learn everything about the problems that arise with the latest firmware and the Demo-CID HTC__002.

Hey guys,
After getting overwhelming reading on forums only to get my self confused at the end. Most threads I came across is last edited in 2016. Therefore I am little skeptical about moving forward.
Bottomline problem, Phone is fully working with PixelExperience ROM installed ( Clean flash) at the moment. BUT IT DOES NOT DETECT SIM CARD.
Model : HTC 10
Android Version : 9
Kernel Version : 3.18.120-IceMan-CAF-LA.UM.7.5
The phone was bought unlocked from HTC.
I have bootloader unlocked, but S-on.
TWRP version 3.3.1 (as of July 22-2019)
Upon reading many thread, It boils down to that I need to RUU in order to get my radio back working. (SIM card detection)
now RUU will not work unless I have S-off, in order to get S-off in need to pay sunshine fee.
Now sunshine needs device to be rooted.
My device is never rooted before, now rooting device has choices, something called SuperSu or Magisk etc.
this is where I am super confused.
I need help before I move on.
My understanding is
step 1: root the device as I already have bootloader unlocked. and TWRP installed and working.
Step 2 : get the S-off by paying sunshine fee
Step 3 : RUU the zip to go back to stock!! ( here also one more question , my kernel is already latest what does RUU do? will it downgrade? )

Hey guys,
After getting overwhelming reading on forums only to get my self confused at the end. Most threads I came across is last edited in 2016. Therefore I am little skeptical about moving forward.
Bottomline problem, Phone is fully working with PixelExperience ROM installed ( Clean flash) at the moment. BUT IT DOES NOT DETECT SIM CARD.
Model : HTC 10
Android Version : 9
Kernel Version : 3.18.120-IceMan-CAF-LA.UM.7.5
The phone was bought unlocked from HTC.
I have bootloader unlocked, but S-on.
TWRP version 3.3.1 (as of July 22-2019)
Upon reading many thread, It boils down to that I need to RUU in order to get my radio back working. (SIM card detection)
now RUU will not work unless I have S-off, in order to get S-off in need to pay sunshine fee.
Now sunshine needs device to be rooted.
My device is never rooted before, now rooting device has choices, something called SuperSu or Magisk etc.
this is where I am super confused.
I need help before I move on.
My understanding is
step 1: root the device as I already have bootloader unlocked. and TWRP installed and working.
Step 2 : get the S-off by paying sunshine fee
Step 3 : RUU the zip to go back to stock!! ( here also one more question , my kernel is already latest what does RUU do? will it downgrade? )
Step 4 : insert sim and use the Phone as intended !!!(lol)
Please help, I am having nightmare.

Where are you reading soff is needed for ruu.
That's not true.
You need an ruu for your specific device model.
Which model is your 10?

Do you see it say FIRMWARE.. that's not an ruu.
Firmware is a way of updating from say N to P without needing to flash entire ruu.
Firmware is in the ruu along with system, boot, recovery..

3.16.617.2 = us unlocked
Simply find the 3.16.617.2 RUU and flash it.
Here.. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850487062
This will wipe internal storage..
How to install:
Option 1 - PERSONALLY SUGGESTED
Download the RUU.zip file. Rename the zip file to 2PS6IMG.zip (being careful that you have file extensions turned on, or are aware that it could be renamed to 2PS6IMG.zip.zip, which is bad) Copy 2PS6IMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32 or exfat! No internal storage!
Reboot phone to download mode and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.
Option 2
EXE option. Download EXE file below (for windows) and simply double click to start. You can either be booted to OS with USB debugging enabled OR booted into download mode for this to start.
Option 3
Fastboot RUU mode . This method assumes you have a working ADB/Fastboot directory on your PC. Download RUU zip file and place in your working fastboot/adb directory. Boot your phone to download mode and connect to PC. Issue the following commands.
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
###while in this mode your phone will display an HTC logo on the screen
htc_fastboot flash zip 2PS6IMG.zip
##while in this mode you will see an HTC logo on the screen and a green status bar across the bottom of the screen. When command output ##completes it may say reboot required to flush etc... if that's the case issue a "htc_fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and restart option 1 again.
## assuming flash completes and no further flushing/reboots are requested from the cmd output you can now reboot IF you simply wish to reboot the system you can issue "htc_fastboot reboot" which will reboot system.
## expect a good 5 minute plus first boot!

Respected Andybones,
I cannot thank you enough sir. After struggling for almost 48 hours. reading a lot threads. Sleepless nights. Finally my Phone is Back to Stock!!
(I am certainly hoping that it would now see the SIM card. I have to go to At&t store tomorrow to get my IMEI into their system.)
I just want to borrow your brain for few more questions.
I noticed that I am on Android 8 now.
Does this mean, My bootloader is locked again? TWRP is gone?
Can I install custom ROM?
Finally, what caused such issue? I do not understand what happened?
If you own HTC 10, what rom do you recommend? I used LinageOS.
Let me know,
Sincerely,

You're so very welcome.
Trust me, I know how tough it can be to fully understand an htc device and it's workings. Once you start to get into it like you have now, I'm sure you came out with some knowledge, so I'm more than happy to help.
I didn't realize you were still on Android 7. You're on 8 now because the RUU I gave you was android 8.(don't try and downgrade. You can but it's not as easy as flashing the android 7 ruu)
The ruu contains everything to make your device stock again, including stock system, stock kernel, stock recovery.
Flashing ruu doesn't touch an soff flag nor bootloader lock.(boot on into download mode and check it out). But even if it did lock it, which won't ever happen, you can always re-unlock bootloader.
It's only us Verizon users who suffer by blocking us from unlocking. NOT COOL VERIZON!!!
You just need to flash twrp again (get latest version), then flash roms as you desire.
I suggest any recent Pie rom. Thanks to dev Fagyi he has really made this phone great again. He maintains Stock lineage 16 is awesome, and theirs a few roms out based on his lineage, including my crdroidandroid rom. Also Fagyi has I think 2 roms based on AOSP rather lineage.
If you want Sense then LeeDroid is the ROM you want.
I'm actually not too sure what caused the sim issue unfortunately. I do have faith that att can get it going for you tmw. Fingers are crossed my friend.
Please keep me posted. :good:

Respected Andybones,
This is just an update. Please give me your input whenever u get a chance. Here is what happened.
My phone got back to stock succefully. I noticed it did not touch the bootloader. it was still unlocked. S-on. I successfully flashed TWRP again. All went well. Next day morning I was supposed to go to ATT store and get phone working. but I could not wait till morning. That night I flashed the phone with Pixel Experience again, as I thought my radio should be working now. ( I think I should have waited. Not sure why?)
So once again, I have perfectly working phone with Pixel Experience rom on it. but yet again it does not detect SIM card. The difference between stock and this rom is, STock was showing bars on top. at least detecting no cellular network. This is my uneducated guess!! lol
I am one-more time going to RUU with your zip. restore back to stock and shall see what happens. ( I know I should have waited before I flashed with PE)
Just to confirm and make sure.. I believe am currently on Oreo Firmware as the OS - 3.16.617.2 ( displays on download mode)
I think I should still be fine with the RUU zip you gave me.

Hey man, I don't think it's any issue you flashed pixel experience. You can always just reflash the ruu and get back to stock. Unfortunately, it could be a physical issue with the sim not getting detected but since stock showed bars, I think you need a new att sim card possibly.
But yes you may flash that same ruu and any that are x.xx.617.x and up. But I think the one I gave is the newest.
.617 refers to your device.
Mine for example (Verizon) is .605
Hope I've been of help. :good:

Your guess was right. Does not seem like ROM issue. It now seems like hardware issue. I may have missed to connect an antenna properly. Or Something got damaged. I cannot say for sure.
I am now on market to for new phone at an odd time of the year !!!
I must thanks again for all your replies and answers with patience.
