If I understand correctly, installing this ROM will prevent you from rooting your phone.

Yes that is correct. It will install a new HBOOT loader that had closed the previous root exploit that Unrevoked used. To date they have not been able to find a exploit that will give you permanent root or the ability to flash an alternate recovery.
The best bet is to wait for someone to download the RUU, extract the ROM.zip file and create a rooted, flashable ROM.zip that ClockworkMod can install.
ROM.ZIP file
I have the rom.zip file from the RUU but I can't seem to open it. I wanted to take a look and see what all was in the update. Are the zip files in the RUU in a proprietary zip format?
They're signed by HTC which puts the signature bytes at the head of the zip file. I think 7zip will handle it. I use the unzip util in linux. It complains about the firest 256 bytes, but will unzip it. If you don't have linux, you can probably use the unzip command line util in the android shell to unzip it to your sdcard.

I was able to open the ROM.zip with 7-Zip but now I can seem to open the individual img files using WinImage. I was able to do use this on the HTC Inspire ROM without any issue.
Does anyone know if this is 2.2, 2.2.1, or maybe 2.2.2?

That's what I want to determine, too. If it is only 2.2 then it probably isn't much different than Liberated FR008. If it is the 2.2.1 source base, then it may be worth looking at.

Yes - Do Not install this update to your Aria -
If you want this version, load Liberated FR008 - it's pretty slick and offers the same functionality as the AT&T version.
If you need to restore your factory settings, you will need to find the previous update (here's a link: http://www.mediafire.com/?r49zx44u3kq8z5c). That one is now replaced by the FroYo version on the HTC web site.

2.2.2 FRG83G; Wow that is awesome! That is the most recent 2.2 code base. It was released in Jan 2011 for the Nexus One. So perhaps we have something more recent than the Gratia/FR008 build here..
The build.prop for FR008 is 2.2 FRF91

I wonder if it is possible to modify the new RUU to use the HBOOT file from the 2.1 RUU? And therefore not plug the hole?

No, RUU are signed with a HTC key. There is no way to modify the ROM.zip without resigning it with the HTC key.

Hi,
I've modified this blank update zip for your fonts.
Use Winrar to open it,but do not extract it.
Navigate to system/fonts and press the "ADD" button.
Add your fonts and close the zip.
Make a nandroid backup.
Place the zip on your sd card,
wipe your cache and dalvik,
flash the zip like a ROM,
reboot.

Hi all,
I know that there are a lot of guides on xda and I've been reading them, searching and googling like crazy to try to find the answer.
Yes I'm a noob and I'm still trying to Root my phone.
I have managed to S-OFF with revolutionary.
I want to flash ARHD 4.1.13 (android 2.3.5 & htc sense3.5) onto my HTC Sensation Z710e.
I've been reading this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
And I'm at the stage where I'm trying to install recovery v5.0.0.8 CWM onto my phone for recovery.
I have downloaded recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-pyramid.img from the threads here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277975
I've heard that the file should be named 'PG58IMG.zip'
I've named the file recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-pyramid.img as 'PG58IMG.zip', then I've started up HBOOT but I keep getting messages stating cannot find PG58IMG. Then I just get the standard HBOOT screen of Fastboot, Reboot, Recovery etc... No messages about 'Updating' etc which you'd expect from CWM.
How can I move forward from here?
Thank you,
T-L-H
That's where you're going wrong. If you've got the recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-pyramid.img you flash it as it is using the fastboot flash command
fastboot flash bootloader recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-pyramid.img

I'll try using that.
Sounds like you dl it,but it needs to be on the root of your sdcard. Move it to the root,then check md5sum,load up and it should recognize it.

You can't just rename the recovery file PG58IMG.zip - it doesn't work like that
If you have the *.img file you have to flash it via fastboot. That or find someone that's packaged the recovery into a PG58IMG.zip file
I've managed to flash the ROM onto my phone ^^
I've used ARHD 4.1.13 (android 2.3.5 & htc sense3.5)
Just to double check, that doesn't have Beats (thats fine I don't have any Beats headphones anyway).
Will it change the CPU to 1.5Ghz? In hardware settings for the phone it still shows 1.2Ghz.
Think that one doesn't but not sure...why not go for HD 6.x?

It was my first time Rooting and flashing ROMs onto phones, the whole firmware thing confused me until I'd thought about it...
I know that what I've got on now is stable.
I'll fiddle with it in a week or so.
you should rename it to "recovery.img", and put it into the old PG58IMG.zip (cwm 5.0.0.8) and overwrite the old recovery.img.
then put the new PG58IMG.zip in your sdcard root folder and get into hboot then update it.

just copy the apk file to your sdcard, and then open file explorer,e.g. es file explorer. then install the apk file, and then open the "4ext recovery" in your app drawer, and choose "online install|upgrade", then choose "touch", then choose the latest version, now it is 1.0.0.3 RC3.

I've put the apk file on root of my SD card, I opened ES File Explorer, installed the App, I ran it, updated it online to RC3.
Shut down the phone, HBOOTED it and then chose recovery and then back up in EXT4. It's doing it's thing now, I take it that this is correct?

Anyone using this backup has to remember to change the phone marker folder to the serial number of their own phone or TWRP won't recognize it. When you press restore it'll be completely blank. Once you make the phone marker folder your own phone's serial number, it'll work like a charm with no issues.

Make sure you do a Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik and do the restore again. Should boot fine after that.
This is nice to have. I made a Nandroid of my stock setup but I had already removed a ton of bloatware so it wasn't really a STOCK nandroid. I'm downloading this just so I have it.
But, could you post an MD5 sum of the zipped file that way I know I got a good download? It failed several times before downloading completely and I wanna be sure it's legit.
Thanks

Nobody is gonna yell at you... Lol.
This is a Nandroid backup of the full stock rom that comes on the Verizon M8 out of the box. No modifications made to it at all. It is the exact software you would get on your M8 if you just bought it at the store (minus stock recovery and radios of course) If you don't know what a Nandroid backup is, it's a backup of the software on your device using a custom recovery like TWRP. Say you flashed a custom rom and were having problems with it but didn't have your own backup of the stock software. You could download this and use TWRP to restore it and you would be back to stock again. AOSP is something else. AOSP is Android without Manufacturer skins like Sense (HTC devices), or Touchwiz (Samsung devices), the only devices that come with AOSP installed on them are Nexus devices. Everything else is Android that's slightly modified. Hope this explains it.

I think I know what you mean? I already use twrp so when I download this just go to my external sd card (where I keep my backups), open twrp, open folder with HTC and I guess my serial number, then inside this folder is where I place this backup correct? Thanks.

Thanks for helping everyone out. I tried to make the instructions as detailed as possible.
Again if the link goes down let me know so I can add a new one.
Making a Pure Stock Rom as we speak. Keeping it close to Stock as possible but with all of the unneeded Files removed (Verizon/Amazon/Keyboard Language/ect..... Adding a small amount of tweaks/files to the system and thats it. I not sure if anyone has use Scotts Roms in the past (CleanRom) But it is going to be like that for each update to come. Should have it up in the next couple of days.

So you download the zip. Open zip it an go find the folder with build keys in the name. You extract that to downloads folder then place the file you just extracted in your normal twrp file path. You still have to rename? If you do it correct there is nothing to rename to match your phone. Not saying your wrong. I just never have had to rename anything when restoring someone backup.

Hello, I would like to install the original "voice recorder" apk of the HTC desire s on another HTC phone.
Do you know where it is possible to get the file, please ?
Thanks

Might not work as you may need the apps framework that is built into the sense framework. But it would live in the system/app/ folder.
If Any of the custom sense ROMs have it you could download the ROM and extract the app from there instead. Remember that when installing it you must have root access to place it into the system/app/ folder and you must set the permissions correctly.

Do I need root access if I install the app on the sdcard ? (I am not sure but I think that some apps are on the sd card).
A few days ago I tried to do get the root access on my phone but I did a bad thing and lost everything ! So, I won't do it once more.

Thanks.
I had used Universal deodexer to deodex my HTC FM and Music apps from my stock 2.3.5 rom.
the deodexer had extracted framework files from my stock rom and made copies of the deodexed apk.
i wanted to use those apps, once I moved to a custom rom (PAC v23)
but after flashing and putting those apks on the system/app folder
those apps still fail to start.
any suggestions ?
