[Q] Extracting a stock ROM: CWM -> RUU - HTC Sensation

Hello folks,
I am ready to S-Off my Sensation. As part of ikhzter's awesome guide I was looking to get the stock ROM for the H3G UK Sensation, but I see that it is not listed here. My question is this...
If I were to follow the guide, and then CWM backup my phone after running a factory reset, can I extract or convert the CWM backup data / image to RUU format, so that it can be used the to restore S-On (if I choose to at a later date), again as part of the guide?
If it is possible, I'd also like to share the stock ROM with community.
Any pointers greatly appreciated

Any luck creating an RUU for the H3G Sensation?
I am so keen to try custom ROMs it hurts! But if there is no RUU to return my phone to stock if anything ever goes wrong then I can't afford to take the chance
Does anyone have the H3G UK RUU? Or any method to extract/create one from my phone?

Sensation H3G UK RUU
Hey there,
I had another read of that thread you posted. Many pages down, there is actually a link for the H3G RUU! The OP just hasn't updated the the list on the front page, annoyingly.
Here is the link to the file -
http://81.89.105.12/~sensation/
Hope this helps!

HTC ONE S RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.53.401.2

Hello,
I can not find the original HTC One S Rom (RUU):
RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.53.401.2_Radio_0.15.31501S.19_10.12.31501S
When is the HTC Sensation Rom on her ONE S Rome-based, but there is no download?
Where can I download it?
this was no update rom and is therefore not directly available. someone in this forum wanted to upload a dump though.
you can get most of it in the virtuous rom at rootzwiki...
I found this rom!

Restore the original state!
I have unlocked the bootloader HTCdev with but would like to restore the original condition. This goes as far as I know the rom with the original but I do not want to make the 1:47 on it.
Why do you guys keep posting in the wrong section?
This belongs in the General

once unlocked you can not lock the phone again, at least not by flashing some RUU.
maybe some hackers (alpharev? ) will find a solution some day...
How this is actually the S-Off?
When I unlocked the bootloader with HTCdev it is still not S-Off or?
Has anyone tried the rom from here?

[Q] HTC Desire S Stock Rom

Hey guys,
JUst wondering where i can get the official HTC Desire S stock rom from for my device.
I've tried about 4-5 stock RUU's and non of them seem to work, they load into the bootloader then say error.
I dont know how to check what rom i had or need but the ones i tried where what others had tried for the same device...like froyo, bravo, WWE and cdsm a think.
I might be going way wrong somewhere but if anyone could point me in the right direction it'd be much appreciated.
I'm keeping the rooted rom for now but incase i ever need to take it into the shop, its always there to reset the phone
Thanks again
If you need any info about my phone please let me know
Some details i know are these
***UNLOCKED***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
2.00.0002 version 2.3.5
ROM VERSION 2.10.161.3 (not sure if this is the custom rom number or my original)
Radio 3822.10.08.04_M
It's a Vodafone HTC Desire S, not sure if its branded or unbranded either

HTC One S RUU File Tmobile

Hi
I've recently rooted my phone (about a month ago) and now can't get the new sense 4.1 OTA update. So I was just wondering if anybody knows where I can find the RUU file for T-mobile as i'd prefer to get over air updates rather then flashing roms. I'm relatively new to all this rooting stuff so I don't know much. Can someone please help me?
in the development section, look for rom collection post, TMOUS should be there.

Don't think anyone has it, also need one here. You can try the T-Mobile US RUU, it might or might not give you a CID error.

[Q] Rogers 1.84 Nandroid or RUU needed

Hey hey hey,
I wish to revert my Rogers/Fido One S to stock but I can only find the 1.70 RUU. My device is currently on 1.84 so that RUU doesn't work. Does anyone have a Nandroid backup or RUU file that I can use?
Thanks in advance!

Footballs Thread or my 4Shared mirror.
Check Footballs thread, dev section, mirror links are all over the thread, i got a mirror there too. RUU is in there.
Just search i got no link atm i am in a hurry.
PS: For Rogers there is only the 1.70 RUU. Alternatively, you can go downgrade on the Brick Downgrade thread and then run the 1.70 RUU again.
Second alternative is go to the SuperCID thread, change to SCID, then change to WWE or any other RUU you like.

Are there any negative side effects to changing the SCID to another provider (such as Bell Mobility) to install the RUU then switching it back to Rogers after? I'm not exactly sure what the difference between the WWE, Euro, and the other regions' RUUs. I was thinking of doing that using the file from your dropbox:
RUU_Ville_U_BM_1.84.666.9_Radio_0.17.31501S.10_2_10.27.31501S.10L_release_265369_signed.exe
Alternatively, can you install an OTA on a phone without a ROM? (or with a non-stock rom & kernel such as cm, trickdroid, etc.) I saw another thread which might have a new OTA update for Rogers/Fido soon...
[Q] Will I brick my One s if i do the update?
Edit: for those looking on how to change the CID:
Super cid: 11111111
...and +1 to wanting a newer RUU :fingers-crossed:
theoretically you can do it;
however you'll get lots of specific provider app who will not work on the new network; also you have to edit (and to know how to) the build.prop file so you can achieve the best of your usage network capabilities.

Thank you. I assume your response is regarding my first question - using another providers RUU. Would it be easier/possible to use an OTA update to return to stock? One is now available on the "[Q] Will I brick my One s if i do the update?" thread linked in my previous post:
fotadl dot htc dot com forward-slash OTA_Ville_U_JB_45_S_Rogers_WWE_3.16.631.8_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301897nn5lu23br8cg9q7l.zip
I'm just not sure how to install it, or if I even can.

[Q][S3][Villec2]Updating from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 on BSTAR301 CID devices

Well, the purpose of this thread is to update the HOS that most operator from latam brought to us, why? Because we cannot use some of the ROMs that are barely found for our HOS because we need 4.0.4 as base. I've been reading about flashing the proper RUU but after browsing the web I was not able to find that RUU for our devices, they left us alone. Now, I think that there is a possible way to update our HOS, if there are other HOS from every region that got that update, we could take a part of those files and try to flash it into our devices.
Now, I'm newbie about this things of developing, but I can try to flash all files and test the ways if possible, but I don't want to brick my phone, so my question is if is possible to flash the hboot of another RUU (from another HOS s3) and in that way, we won't have the restriction of the hboot anymore and meaby we could try some ROMs like TrickDroid 6.0.0 or the JB ROM from luxandroid. I've been reading and found that there is a way to extract all the content of a RUU and get the flashable files, but those methods were for other HTC devices. Some of the files that are extracted from a RUU are the hboot file, which could be flashable, and that's what I would like to try.
TL;DR: Can I flash a hboot extracted from a RUU that is not compatible with my device's CID?
Also, sorry for my english, I hope you could understand it

If this was your answer, then why did you bother to do it? I'm trying to get this working, but first I need to know if is possible or if someone already tryed it before a brick my phone.
flashing hboot manually is impossible as much as I know
I moved this thread to Q&A/Support because it has nada to do with development. As long as you don't develop something, stay out of that section.
