[Q] Official RUU update with Unrevoked Forever S-OFF - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

If I install the official Desire CDMA 2.2 update and I have S-OFF with Unrevoked Forever will I still be able to root my phone with the new update even if it includes HBOOT and Radio Updates?
It has the following files in the rom.zip from the RUU exe
Code:
userdata.img
system.img
splash1.nb0
recovery.img
radio.img
nv_USC_1.70_0825_PRL15075.img
hboot_8x50_1.06.0000.img
boot.img
android-info.txt
inside android-info.txt is this
Code:
modelid: PB9940000
cidnum: UTSI_001
mainver: 2.11.573.5
hbootpreupdate:13
DelCache: 1
the RUU is available here
member.america.htc.com/download/Web_materials/Manual/Desire_Froyo/Desire_froyo_2.11.573.exe

I believe if you flash over a new hboot image you will lose s-off but you should still be able to root it.
I may be way off though.

I had recently updated ruu Europe 1.35.401.1 downloaded from xda it didn't had any error it installed and working fine.and I am not rooted . but today I downloaded 1.45.401.2 from xda but it gives me error 131.

But still I have a doubt.. if it is cid problem then ruu europe 1.35.401.1 should have also give the same error right. I again flashed 1.35.401.1 still no errors but why in new ruu 1.45.401.2 gives error 131.

can any body tel me wat is this M stands for ?
as i had observed in ruu europe 1.35.401.1 it is M3 but in ruu europe 1.45.401.2 it is Simply M.
Maybe I'm wrong in some part, as I couldn't find any tutorials pointing out those things. I just discovered this. If I'm wrong in anything I said, please anybody put me on the right track
So,
Open up CMD and write:
cd C:\adb {assuming that you have adb folder containing adb.exe and fastboot.exe}
Then write:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Press enter, and wait until your phone gets into bootloader.
Then write:
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
Press enter.
Doing so, will retrieve the CID number of your device, note it down.
Mine for example, is: HTC__J15
- Open your RUU that you're not able to flash, wait untill you get to the "View Readme" page where there is the picture of an HTC device.
- Go to your temp folder (Generally on Win 7 it's in "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp")
- Look manually for folders that have lots of characters in that format: "{XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX}".
- One of them should have another folder in it and 2 files, this folder should be in that same format "{XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX} too.
- There should be in that folder something named "rom.zip", open it up and you should find a file named "android-info.txt".
- Open up "android-info.txt" with any text editor, it should say on the second line: "cidnum: XXXXXXX".
- This is supposed to be the same as the CID you got from your device, if not, to be able to install this RUU, you should change your CID to a super CID or to the CID that is written in "android-info.txt".
I do not recommend changing your CID and I take no responsibilities if you do so.
Do anything to your device at your own risk. I, personally didn't change my CID number.
P.S: Note down your old CID, before ever changing to SuperCID or to any other one.
Hope it helped
Good luck
thanks mate.. i have checked the cid numbers in the rom will post it here it ll be helpful for others also.

Glad it helped
So, your device CID wasn't listed here, right?
i dont know man.. i am new to android i dont know how to check cid number and all .. can u suggest me any threads so that i can follow it step by step.
Keeping your CID
I copied what was wrote from this thread at step 4, just added some steps.
- Download adb tools here.
- On your pc click on your local disk C: Drive (or D: drive for some) (WINDOWS users: Start > My computer > Local Disk (C)
- Create a new folder called "adb" and extract the files from adb.zip into it. Make sure it doesn't create another folder in the adb folder when extracting.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Open command prompt (Press the start Logo on your keyboard + R, then write cmd and press enter) and type "cd C:\adb" {without quotes}
- Ensure your phone is switched on (regular home screen) and connect it by USB in charging mode (Ensure USB Debugging is On by going on your phone to Settings -> Applications -> Development and Check USB Debugging).
- Enter the command "adb devices". This is to confirm your phone is connected. (It should come back with list of devices attached and your serial number)
- Enter the command "adb reboot-bootloader".
- Waint until the bootloader opens up, and write in cmd "fastboot getvar cid".
It will say CID: XXXX this is your CID.
Take note of this number, you'll not need it now, maybe you'll never do, but just keep it in-case
********** Optional: Write SuperCID ************
- Enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"
- Enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader"
- Enter the command "fastboot getvar cid"
It should show CID: 11111111
You can now flash any RUU you want. You don't need this to flash a Custom ROM.
******************************************
- You can now write "fastboot reboot" in CMD to get back to your android.
I take no responsibilities of anything you're doing on your phone, do what you want at your own risk.
thanks man.. i ll give a try ..but i checked cid numbers in 1.34.415.1 it is only htc_j15. i think mine will also be same. as i had purchased this from dubai.

thanks for the support mate.

HTC - Android-info

Looking at the Android-info inside the stocked signed zips i found some conclusions.!!
RUU 2.10.401.5 has: mainver: 2.10.401.5
hbootpreupdate:13
DelCache:1
FOTA 2.10.401.4 has:
mainver: 11.10.401.4
hbootpreupdate:13
FOTA 2.10.401.5 has:
mainver: 12.10.401.5
hbootpreupdate:13
So the only reason that we can not flash the stock RUU 2.10.401.5 all of us that have updated even only the firmware via the OTA zip is that trying to flash the 2.10.401.5 RUU the phone or the flashing tool thinks that has bigger rom update 11.10.401.4 or 12.10.401.5 ??
HTC i am really mad..!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1031 < Correct place to post this.
Maybe a typographical error on HTC's side.
Either way, not good.

OTA ARABIC 1.57.415.3 and WARANTY IS BACK

Dear ALL
Today I did Manage to re-lock the Chacha bootloader to win the waranty back here is what I did
1- My ChaCha is an Arabic version bought it from egypt it was coming with ROM (( RUU_Chacha_HTC_ARA_1.22.415.2_Radio_47.14.35.3030H_7.47.35.17_release_198595_signed.exe )) you can find it somewhere in ChaCha thread .
2- I did extract the above rom and i toke the file called rom.zip then i did extract it
3- i did flash boot.img , radio.img , recovery.img and system.img using fastboot.exe
CMD
fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
then
fastboot.exe flash radio radio.img
then
fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
then
fastboot.exe flash system system.img
then
Factory Rest
then
Restart
4- The ROM 1.22.415.2 installed on my Chacha and working super . I went to Settings > About Phone > Software Updates > Check now . the system asked me to download the new update then I did
5- For sure before i install the update I looked for the OTA update on my phone and i managed to find it on my SD under folder called download (( OTA_Chacha_HTC_ARA_1.57.415.3-1.22.415.2_release_228158ps5fo8iej85c5rzr.zip )) Here is a link of the OTA update
http://ifile.it/y5jwsx2/OTA_Chacha_HTC_ARA_1.57.415.3-1.22.415.2_release_228158ps5fo8iej85c5rzr.zip
6- I asked the Updater to install the OTA ROM
7- The rom installed i did uncheck fastboot from Settings > Power > Fastboot
8- I checked the Bootloader i found it as before i start to unlock it via HTCdev unlocker with the stock bootloader 1.07.0000 S-ON RL
Cheersssssssssssssssssssssss yahoooooooooooooooooooooo My waranty is back
I haven't checked on the Chacha, but on Motorola's there's a flash in fastboot that can tell you if warranty is void because of unlocking. Even relocking won't reset the flag.
adlx.xda lets look for it but i don`t think that HTC is that smart anyways if so no problem at less that it downgraded the Hboot from 1.10.0000 to 1.07.0000 and lock it

the variable I know from Motorola is: iswarrantyvoid

I wouldn't count on this actually working tbh... I downgraded my bootloader to 1.04.0000, updated to 1.07.0000, then 1.10.0000 (the one from HTCDev) just to see what would happen, and upon applying 1.10.0000, it still showed as *** UNLOCKED ***. Doing a fastboot oem lock won't work either, your bootloader will say *** RELOCKED ***.
In short: the unlock flag is stored in a secret partition and is still visible no matter what bootloader is running
Dear qzfive..
I think you did S-Off to your device using XTC clip ? OR you did the downgrade using gold card ? Right
I S-OFF'd via the Clip a good month before HTC-Dev unlock, however that's not relevant in this situation. S-OFF and the HTC-Dev unlock definitely appear to be two seperate flags, since some people haven't used the Clip and have an HTC-Dev unlocked bootloader are S-ON.
I think that the HTC-Dev unlock/relock flag is on the same partition as the @secuflag, which controls S-ON and S-OFF. HTC would know how to read this partition and read the flags to determine if your warranty is void or not. Also, remember when you started the HTC-Dev unlock, and you had to get a unique ID key from your device? Chances are they also save that key onto their systems as one that's had its bootloader unlocked.
One additional note: doing radio flashes won't reset the flags either, as when I applied the different HBOOTS, radios were flashed along with them as part of an RUU or OTA.
Either way, after we've used the HTC-Dev unlock, we can say goodbye to our warranties
Dear I agree with you but if there is no secueflag says its locked or unlocked only and about the saving the code in thier system easy i can complain about maybe some hacker did stolen my SN. or somthing and he did register with it in thier system
any ways Warranty on or off i dont care because HTC service they are useless at the end
I am going to search how to read the SecureFlag from the partattion
Thank you any ways

I am totally lost. can you give me few hints how to or downgrade to 0.98.00000 or whatever to install custom recovery. Please! :s
Can you please help me root this device, install clockwork recovery and rom to MIUI? I have rooted another, my old HTC Desire before, but there anything went fine.

RUU installer simply freezes on "Sending" data to phone. I am stuck there, sometimes it gives error [171], sometime shows that ''battery less than 30% remaining''. What the heck is going on? (I have locked bootloader before RUU install, because I have read that it should be like that.) (HTC Sync installed before RUU install)
You need to relock the bootloader with the command "fastboot oem lock"
So boot the phone into fastboot, then in cmd run above command, then re try the RUU.
Already did that, but with no success. Still the same problem. RUU installer freezes on "Sending".
---
As I enter bootloader ***Unlocked*** on the top is changed to ***Relocked***, so command "fastboot oem lock" did the job.
Try extracting the rom.zip file from the RUU, then renaming it to PG88IMG.zip then place that file on your SDcard root then apply the update in hboot.
I have dowloaded RUU file which is .exe, is there any RUU what you would recommend for me? (phone is not branded, Europe: Latvia) Maybe I am using wrong RUU also?
And as I will put PG88IMG.zip in to SD card, how should I apply the update in hboot, by running some command in cmd?
@Forwox
To get the ROM.zip from the RUU and to install via PG88IMG.zip
Start the RUU and once at the main page go to Start>Run and type in %temp%
Next find the newest folder and in there will be file called rom.zip. Copy this file to the desktop and rename it to PG88IMG.zip
Now copy this file to your SD card and start the phone in HBOOT (turn it on whilst holding volume down). It will find the file and start the update.
If that fails please run this fastboot command "fastboot getvar all" and post its results and the RUU you are trying to install.
Well, I got that rom.zip from %temp%, newest folder found rom.zip (rom.zip date modified is 2011.03.15) , put it into SD card, then entered HBOOT and it gave me:

i hope this help u..
YESSSS, FINALLY DID IT!!!
What were my problems? RUU was the incorrect versions, few problems with PC drivers, that's why fastboot recovery flashing didn't worked and the only way to go was Revolutionary, but it does not work on 2.00.xxxx HBOOT version, that's why downgrade was needed.

What have I done:
*HTCDev.com Unlock and then Relock, downgrade from HBOOT-2.00.0002 to HBOOT- 0.98.0002 is done, RUU installed, S-OFF made via revolutionary, MIUI ROM installed.*
Here is a little walkthrough from *pain in the ass* to total success how it was in my case :
------------
1. Installed all necessary android related drivers to PC.
2. In Desire S phone turned off "fastboot" option in Settings/power/fastboot. Turned on USB debugging Settings/Applications/Development/USB debugging
3. Switched on and connected phone to PC (Charge only).
3.1 If your HTC Desire S in HBOOT shows pink ***LOCKED*** go to HTCDev.com and unlock it.
4. Downloaded files from this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399331 (zergRush and misc_version ONLY!!!)
Unziped the downloaded files in a folder (e.g. c:/Users/yourName/Downloads)
5. In Windows went to Start>Run and typed cmd. Now you needed to relock the bootloader with the, so typeed command "fastboot oem lock" in terminal just just I opened. "I recommend to restart the phone and after that connect to Charge only again as before."
3. Run the Terminal again and changed into the folder where I unzipped files before (change folder with 'cd')
4. Now typed to the terminal (every line is one command!)
adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell
(IF THERE IS ANY PROBLEM WITH zergRush or BOOMSH, and only $ shows up, type this):
4.1 rm /data/local/tmp/boomsh
4.2 rm /data/local/tmp/sh
4.3 cd /data/local/tmp/
IF NO PROBLEM EXPLAINED ABOVE, THEN KEEP TYPING AFTER PREVIOUS adb shell THIS:
cd /data/local/tmp/
./zergRush
5. Then typed
adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
"This will change your version information, but you need the same RUU version!"(don't type this in cmd, of course)
6. Now found appropriate RUU for device. I used RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed and it worked like a charm!!! I have tried two other with no success on downgrade. My Desire S is non-branded!
7. Run that downloaded RUU .exe file, went to Start>Run and typed in %temp% Now clicked "Date modified" and found the newest folder and in there will be file called rom.zip. Copied this file to the desktop and renamed it to PG88IMG (adding .zip extension was the trouble maker for me! But you can try)
8. Copied this file to my SD card and start the phone in HBOOT (turn it on whilst holding volume down). The phone found the file and started the update.
9. Phone restarted and you I saw HBOOT- 0.98.0002 instead of HBOOT-2.00.0002 as it was before. If it is like that, then you have successfully downgraded your HTC Desire!
8. Now just download revolutionary from http://revolutionary.io and create a beta key and start programm. It will do S-OFF on your device.
DONE!
Now you can install any ROM by your choice.
Good luck and don't give up! It took me 3 days, but I didn't gave up.
I hope this report somehow helps users like me, who faces the same problems and storyline.
Many thanks to foX2delta and SuperKid who helped, and topics in this forum.
Glad it worked out, never heard of a RUU not working in this way (want main version, wasnt CID related). Only thing I can think of is maybe the RUU's (v1.28/1.47) each respond differently to the later versions (v2.10) or luck of the gods or a bad download of the RUU.
As foX2delta said

or a bad download of the RUU.

So remember always checking md5 sums, even if it was not necessarily because of that.

This worked for me too. If you've unlocked the bootloader though htcdev though, you HAVE to relock it, otherwise flashing the older RUU will give an error message. This makes me wonder if unlocking it is even needed at all.
You know what??? you're a life saver!
I followed your steps and managed to make it .... phew!!
I used the RUU directly though, it worked fine once the bootloader is locked again
Thanks!

No htcdev needed?
I'm a newbie, but I think you do not need to unlock then relock bootloader via htcdev. Doing this is basically telling HTC you are voiding your warranty. I am trying this method tonight and will report if HTC unlock is needed.
I had unlocked bootloader via htcdev.com and installed a custom rom. now i need to go back to stock rom so i downloaded old RUU
I tried the steps above and iam getting the following message.

Pls help
Leave the 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 aside. In case you didn't put attention - they're just step numbers, and aren't part of the commands.
You're making an awful mess.

One Mini s-ON, trying to get s-OFF

Hey guys, I have a problem with this phone HTC one mini, in fact I'm trying to unlock it with Sieempi method, but for this I need the device to be s-off. I unlocked the bootloader, the device be rooted, and when I try to use Rumrunner i got this error message.
Code:
Dear User: We will expect that YOU:
(1) Know how to use ADB and FASTBOOT binaries
---- [Yes, use these tools to test USB connection BEFORE running rumrunner] ----
(2) Realize that rumrunner S-OFF cannot support every CUSTOM rom in this world
(3) Understand that irc support IS NOT A GENERAL HELPDESK
(4) Are able to identify and download the CORRECT package for YOUR device
(5) Know how to enable USB-debugging on YOUR device (Yes, do that now)
(6) Understand that you may NOT repack or redistribute rumrunner S-OFF
Ok?
(Yes/No)
Yes
!! Do NOT for any reason taunt, unplug, drop, eat or pet your device !!
Please wait....
..........
Checking for updates......
Test 1: Rebooting into bootloader
Waiting for fastboot (19/120)
Waiting
Test 2: Booting device
Waiting for ADB (55/120)
must ferment longer...
must sanitize, skunky rum is nasty
hold please..............................................
[------------------------------------------------------------]
Rebooting into bootloader (again)
Waiting for fastboot (7/120)
Waiting for ADB (55/120)

chilling..................
it's a little stinky here, hmm....
bottles are packed, here we go, shhhhhh....
hmm, cap is on tighter than I expected........
hell, that damn cap is on REALLY tight.......
unfortunately this isn't going to work out with your configuration. you have 2 options:
1.) flash an unsecure kernel that's compatible with your ROM and retry rumrunner (preferred and most reliable method).
2.) flash a different rom.
NOTE: No amount of messing around with su binaries and apk's is going to fix this issue for you!!!.
Better luck next time!!!!bye

Then i find this theard
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573479
And download this two files, but then I stuck.
I'm not sure how to do the rest, but I tried it this way and I have failed.
I unpacked JmzM4_Kernel-09-4-13.zip file, and copied the boot.img file in the SDK folder from where I started CMD. In the CMD I typed "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and I got the message OK.
Then I went into recovery and found JmzM4_Kernel-09-4-13.zip file on the internal memory of a cell phone and I tried to install it (so I read) a zip file, and then I got the error MD5 file check, something like that.
I then reboot to recovery again and tried to install "JmzM4StockRootedOdex-WWE 1.22.401.1" also a zip file, and again the same error MD5 file check.
Then the phone in fastboot mode remained and could not boot the system. So I had to do a restore of backup I in which they made before I got into flash kernel, and roma.
Here is also my fastboot getvar all the info.

Can someone tell me what is the solution for my problem, I just want my device S-off to try Sieempi method of unlocking, to see if it works. Thx!
Nothing? I try a couple thing more. I think its problem in the file I downloaded, and download a MD5 checker, and says thats ok. Then I save a md5 file from Md5 checker @ the same folder like zip file, and run again from recovery, and now got another error, you can see image.

Revone method doesnt work i got error -2. And boot intro the bootloader and stil s-on.
Please lock theard, phone was smashed. I lost nerves!
Hi Errornt
pardon if i only post today!
had your same situation and now i've solved! the solution? just flash a new kernel! i've used xXminiWHOOPERxX Kernel and now.... i'm s-off
so, unlock bootloader, install custom recovery and root, flash an insecure kernel with fastboot method and run rumrunner
that's all
i'm sorry for your smashed phone
