[Q] Can't run RUU

I have a Rogers HTC Magic 2.1 ROM with, 32A, 6.35.x, 1.76.0010. So yeah, as you can see, I'm in a little bit of a hell hole.
Now, I'm following the steps on Full Update Guide - HTC Magic (32A) and it's going fine. I made a gold card and everything. However, when I get to the step where I have to use the RUU to put the 3.05.401.1 build on my phone, the same error keeps happening:
I installed HTC Sync 2.0.4 and plug in my phone. HTC Sync will detect it. Then I run the RUU, and bam. The phone disconnects. Now, I did adb my phone, and also, I used Universal Androot and I got Superuser permission so I'm guessing that the Root did work. But I want to install CM6 and this step with the RUU is screwing me over!
Can anyone please help me out?

[Q] Problems with installing Sensation > Sensation XE rom from start - noob error?

Hi All.
Noob alert!!!!!!
Straight off the bat I'm having problems performing my first ROM upgrade.
Following the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849 and downloading the S-OFF utility I immediately get stuck.
Downloaded the Windows version of S-Off, unzipped it to a folder and ran it, only to get a dos window flash on and off so fast I can't see the error. I can just about make out it saying something like "HTC Sync is incompatible with this tool"
What am I doing wrong? Had a dig around the thread but with over 2000 pages....couldn't find any hints last night. I've since checked through numerous YouTube videos and I still can't see what, if anything that I'm doing wrong.
I have tried it on both my PC and Laptop just in case it was an OS issue.
Sorry to bother but driving me nuts and frustration getting the better of me.

Hi,
You have to be careful to read everything.
Did you go to the revolutionary page and download and read the documentation page?
It includes links to drivers you will need .
As i remember it the phone has to be plugged in via USB before you start.
And did you fill out the beta key as well.
Uninstall HTC SYNC.

First, install HTC sync to get the needed drivers, then uninstall it. The drivers will be left on your PC. Also, temporarily close any antivirus while running revo

[Q] Can someone point to how to root mytouch 4g slide, S-Off or S-On

I previously had a Motorola Cliq and had no problem rooting the thing, but now I've got the MT4GS and it's giving me a headache. Since we're probably not getting ICS, I figured I'd experiment with some of these roms (pyr-o-ice sounds great). Problem is, I don't know where to start/the easiest way/any way. I tried the revolutionary method via unlockr.com and my computer (windows developers preview) won't recognize the drivers/neither will my other windows 7 computer. I can't get them to sync up. Because of that, I can't get my token ID to use that guy Hasoon's noob tool. I'm sure this has been answered before, but any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

get the drivers from here

Yeah so I got the driver, clicked install, and then boom. Still nothing happens. Windows recognizes that it's an " HTC Android Phone USB." But HTC Sync doesn't recognize it. Does that really matter?

try mr root....? lol never had that error

Yeah I've never really encountered it either. I downloaded Mr. Root (nice work, by the way), and I'm not sure what the instructions are for that because it automatically stops working as soon as I open the .exe cmd

Could it be the USB cable I am using? The divers say that they're not compatible with my version of Windows, but that doesn't seem to be the case. When I use the Revo tool it just says on the cmd prompt "Waiting for device..."

I thought you needed to exit HTC sync to make it work

I think it is the version of windows... Download linux? Ubuntu...? Borrow a computer...

No. Get rid of HTC Sync. It messes with everything while trying to root.

When I rooted, I had problems until I remembered to exit htc sync, but that was ages ago when we first got root.

Alright, cool. I'll give all of this a shot and check back in..thanks! This phone kicks ass, I can't believe we're not getting ICS

kk DONT run mr root with admin priviledges. It will messup. And also in the beginning type yes to enter device mode then plug in your device when prompted. Oh and also you should be using windows to operate it

It was either HTC sync, being an administrator, using windows dev. preview, or all of the above. Either way mr root worked w/revo, and now when i fastboot at the top it says S-Off RL. I assume that means mission accomplished? Thanks to everyone who helped out! This was definitely frustrating lol. Time for some stable(ish) ICS. Any recommendations?

I used the instructions given in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286324

cool kk thanks your done no go flash a cool ROM

I'm using Pyr o Ice desensed and it's ridiculous. Considering trying out your AOKP Wildchild Ice rom, but I'm still having fun with this one. The gap between gingerbread and ice cream sandwich is monstrous. The OS is basically as smooth as the iPhone now, which really says something about how far its come along.

[Q] HTC EVO LTE won't root...

Trying to root my HTC EVO LTE using RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter.exe
I've followed directions and tutorials. I have HTC drivers installed and .NET as required.
I start up the root software and it opens up to the phone. I set the phone to USB Debug and plug it in.
The software shows the root me button. I click it. The software says wait while your phone reboots..... Done.
Phone never reboots. My phone is 2.13.651.1 710RD
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

HTC Desire HD & Incredible S won't connect to computer when in fastboot

Hi there all, I've got both an old HTC Desire HD and Incredible S which I thought I might try to root, install custom ROM etc to try make them a bit more useable and enjoyable as they are very slow and quite unusable. My mother was also using the DHD until it became too slow and laggy for her to use, also battery life deteriorated even after I bought a new battery. There are a couple of dilemmas I am facing however not being able to use fastboot is the biggest and most important one so far. If I can solve this then I may be able to solve the others myself so I thought I'd see if there was anyone who could help me. I've been on this for hours, days, I don't know what happened but I'll tell you my story.
First of all, my DHD has been rooted previously and I installed CM11 onto it, however that ROM keeps giving me processes that stop continuously after installing the associated Gapps file. The incredible S is NOT rooted yet, I haven't been able to unlock bootloader because that also won't connect via fastboot. I ALSO have an HTC M7 which I recently unlocked, rooted and installed Venom 9.0.0 ROM without any problems. I'm not sure what is wrong with these two. I know there are a lot of posts on this topic online but not one of them has helped me in the slightest.
I am not too sure exactly what details you might need, but I'll start with these:
- I am running Windows 10 on my desktop, with USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports available.
- I have a myriad of HTC cables and other micro USB cables as well to use.
- I have a couple of microSD Cards available.
- I have installed HTC Sync Manager for HTC drivers and uninstalled it as requested by many threads online.
- I've downloaded a lot of other drivers, ie HTC driver installer, universal drivers from Koush, and Google drivers.
- I have SDK tools from the AndroidSDKSlim.rar archive.
I've currently deleted and uninstalled everything because I want to start again hopefully with some assistance. I've downloaded Devmanview to delete and uninstall anything that said HTC, Phone or Android to start fresh.
My HTC Desire HD bootloader details are as follows:
*** UNLOCKED ***
ACE PVT ENG S-OFF RL
HBOOT-2.00.2728
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot

I am aware there is an hboot update, I have the hboot update by behtash.bat file from the HBOOTUpdate_kit.rar archive but I also can't update that without fastboot)
Currently it has PD98IMG (Philz Touch 6.25.0 For HTC Desire HD) recovery, prior to that I had TWRP.
I was able to install that via my SD card
Now when I plug the phones into the computer while they're on, it picks them up on Device manager, and using ADB DEVICES turns up with their serial numbers. I can command them to ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER to fastboot, I hear the windows sounds for connecting and disconnecting USB's then I get the windows does not recognize this device message. Please try plugging in again etc. When I look at my device manager it comes up in Other devices as Android 1.0 in device status it says:
The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
There are no compatible drivers for this device.
To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.
If I try to search automatically it fails. If I go to Update driver>Browse my computer>Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer it comes up in the box both Android Device and Android USB Devices. If I click the Android USB Devices there are no supported drivers. If i click Android Device it gives me 3 SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface versions :S:S
I should probably state that I'm trying to reflash a TWRP recovery for aceopt so I can install the CM12.1 or CM13 ROMs on my DHD.
My brain really hurts from all this... If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for me to try, please... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also If you need any more information let me know I'll be happy to provide. Thanks in advance!!
