Anybody willing to help? - HTC Sensation

So, hey
I've created an application, which is designed for swapping recoveries, installing stock recoveries, and custom recoveries, by a click.
I'll be releasing beta release this week, as I need testers other than me...
What you get?
- N00b friendly, you don't have to understand a single ADB or Fastboot command, following the instructions on screen is enough.
- Up-to-date list of Stock Recoveries for almost all RUUs.
- The application is only one file, the required files such as ADB and fastboot are compressed inside the application, and extracted to temp on runtime.
- The application downloads and flashes the recovery on its own, you just press "Done!" and watch.
- You can import recoveries from your computer or the application can download a recovery for you.
- Multiple devices supported, if you have 2 HTC Sensation phones, the application will recognize both and will ask you which one you want to install the recovery to.
- Integrated MD5 comparison system, if the downloaded recovery doesn't have the right MD5, the application downloads it again until it gets the right MD5.
Screenshots are attached.
What I need?
I don't ask alot, I just need some of you to extract the recoveries from the RUUs you currently have and send me the file and its MD5 hash, as it's gonna be very hard for me to download each RUU and get each stock recovery from there.
If anybody is willing to help, please PM me or reply here
Instructions on how to get to the recovery image is on post #3
Thank you
P.S: The application is very stable, I've flashed 4 downloaded recoveries from the application and 4 recoveries locally from my computer, and they all worked.
The process didn't take more than 2 minutes.
EDIT:
I'll list the versions of RUU recoveries I've already got, but it will be really appreciated if you can share the recovery you've got even if it's listed here..
Current Recoveries:
Code:
Europe 1.28.401.1
ARA 1.34.415.1
H3G UK 1.34.771.1 - Thanks raj2022!
Europe 1.35.401.1

Hi,
I'm willing to help. Unfortunately I don't know much about extracting things from RUUs so if you could provide instructions I would be happy to carry it out.

Hey!
Thanks for your reply
This is a step-by-step showing how to extract "recovery.img" or "recovery_signed.img":
1. Open the RUU and wait until you get to the "View Readme" page where there is the picture of an HTC device.
2. Go to your temp folder (Generally on Win 7 it's in "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp")
3. Look manually for folders that have lots of characters in that format: "{XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX}".
4. 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.
5. There should be in that folder something named "rom.zip" or "firmware.zip", open it up, and extract the "recovery_signed.img" or "recovery.img" to any folder.
This is the image I currently need.
I'll be very grateful if you can check its MD5, put it in a zip or rar archive and send them to me. Also please send me the version of the RUU you used
Thanks alot

Thanks for the instructions

wow you're fast
Thank you!
Sorry, I know I'm asking a lot, but if you have other RUUs, can you share their recoveries too please?

No worries, it was a pretty simple thing to do
Unfortunately I only have that RUU on my computer as a backup in case I need to warranty my phone.
I might download the stock HTC RUUs for europe as that could always be useful.
But for the other carriers I suggest you look at this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559.
Also, you should perhaps make a list of RUUs from which you still need recoveries.

Well, if you ever download Europe RUUs, please share the Recovery Image
I know about this page, but that's a lot! My internet connection is really slow, so it's very hard to download all of that!
About the list of RUUs, it's gonna be hard doing such a thing, I may write the recoveries I already have, but creating a list will be hard.. And also, there are RUUs that are not known, such as the H3G you've got, I had to search a lot to find a download link for it
I mainly created this thread, as I know that a lot of people have different RUUs, so I can collect at least 10 recoveries a day if people really care to help

Do you also want Sensation XE recoveries or only standard?

XE Recoveries may help but I never used XE in anything though, so mentioning that those are XE recoveries would be great

Okay.. Im downloading all the RUU's now. My school's internet is super fast

That may let me release the application within 1 or 2 days if I get all of the recoveries!

All RUU's are now downloaded. I will start extracting when i get time

European RUUs
Wow, I only just noticed that others are helping too. This is great!
I have downloaded and extracted all the European RUUs so I'm uploading them below:
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.24.401.1

[Q] Cannot update custom Rom with OTA update

Hi gents/ladies.
I'm using the deox ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535024 and last night I got the 4.3 Sense 5.5 update from HTC.
When it tries to update it goes into TWRP recovery and does nothing.
I found the update myself in sdcard/downloads. When I try to run it I get all kinds of errors which sadly i Don't know how to screen print.
When I reboot into the system the update is still sitting in the notification bar.
Any ideas?
Love n hugs
You can't update over a custom rom. You need to use stock or the guide posted in general or q and a forum.

noob question
hello everyone and happy new year guys n gals!!
i have my new htc one mini for almost a week so i haven't been playing around with any roms etc. I upgraded to the new ota 3-4 days ago and i have managed to get my phone saying
**TAMPERED**
**UNLOCKED**
im using the TW recovery and im about to try the Odex rom.
Am I good to go like that and flash it or do I need anything else? The tampered means that Im rooted?
Thats my 2nd smartphone..my 1st was a wildfire S so as u can understand Im feeling like a pimp at the moment the device is amazing and i cant taste the proper feeling it yet
I think i've soft bricked my phone.
I cracked open the ZIP file and did a fastboot flash recovery recovery.zip
This wiped my phone but put me back on the stock recovery.
I then tried to pull down the OTA update. It got half way then bombed out with a red explination mark.
I then went back to fastboot and did fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot -w update 0B4S9ke6WTqTJSVEzZkExV0xzdnM.zip
I got the error:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
Now i'm stuck on a white HTC ONE screen.
Any suggestions?

Which ROM are you on now, pure stock? You have unlocked the bootloader, and can still boot, so I assume you are S-ON?
Question: Any reason why you are flashing the odex rom? If you want to pimp proper style, deodex is your best bet....you are flashing tr1gg3r84's 4.3 stock right? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575766

Yup, you've gone soft....
Not to much of a problem - please supply the following information:
ROM base (stock/custom?)
Bootloader status - locked/unlocked
S-ON or S-OFF
You get to the bootloader menu by pressing the power key and volume down buttons together until it appears....
Thanks for your response, totally soft!
I'm trying to go back to stock ROM from triggers Stock 4.2.2 - 1.22.401.1 Odexed, the OTA zip is 4.3 sense 5.5
Unlocked, s-on
There was a zip folder within the OTA zip called firmware with a bunch of .img files and the android-version.txt.
I unzipped them into the OTA zip and ran fastboot -w ota.zip again and this time got
archive does not contain boot.sig
archive does not contain recovery.sig
archive does not contain system.sig
I extracted the whole folder looking for sig files but can't find anything.
In a perfect world I'd sooner go to a ROM without all the bloatware crap like best deals etc. Failing that I'd like to stick as close to stock as possible.
Thanks for your help, appreciate it.
Well..not sure why i flashed the odex one...if i flash the deodex what will i keep from the setup i ve done so far?? I think im s-on and rooted. Is there a way to see if im s on or not??
Yes im flashing the 4.3!
The specific rom tho is nice and clean..the option to have blink off is a charm!!
I have an issue with my back up tho..i think im having duplicated data..
So the deodex is the one that really boosts the dev??

First off, I'd suggest you flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575766 which IS stock, only SuperSU and kernel mods added.
Fastboot flash the TWRP recovery, factory reset from wipe menu, reboot to recovery, ADB push the ROM and SuperSU v1.86 (download from chainfire). Flash the ROM and SuperSU.
Once you are up and running, and still want to de-bloat, then search for my post about Romcleaner.....
If you need detailed instructions, let us know!

The bootloader menu shows your phone status (hold power key and volume down until it appears).
Install DiskUsage from the store, it will show you if you have large files/cache on your sdcard.
Yes, deodex is more dev "friendly"

Silly me..i hadnt read the lines until their end Im S-on.. Is that good or do i need s-off?
Thnx a lot for the info about the diskUsage. Very handy prog! And I saw that Ive messed up the internal mem..too many partitions for no specific reason and around 600mb of cache.
If I want to make a fresh install of the deodex do I need to make a clear storage along with the davlik/cache wipe and factory reset?

Yes, you need to format data, not just wipe - BE WARNED, this will remove ALL user data from your phone, INCLUDING any nandroid backups.....
If you are flashing the 4.3 deodex you don't need to be S-OFF
Oh, and remember to flash boot.img which you extract from the rom zip file - do this AFTER you have wiped, adb pushed rom and supersu, installed both, rebooted to recovery, then reboot to bootloader - when there, use: fastboot flash boot boot.img

Thanks for your help, I had to sideload the ROM as push locked up TWRP but got it on in the end. SuperSU installed itself, possibly from the market, it didn't stick so had to download it from the link and push it via TWRP.
The ROMCleaner is a gem, got rid of loads of ****. I'm guessing the parent controls are there to stay though yes?
Other than that, thanks again, really helped me no end, I appreciete it.

You can get rid of Kid Mode/Parent controls by either freezing (or uninstalling) Kid Mode using Titanium Backup, or add KidMode-google.apk to your romcleaner user file....

Hi again,
Sorry to pester you once again, hope you don't mind.
So I used the ROM cleaner and may have stuffed things up.
It got rid of some crap like Best Deals, but now my blink feed only has Facebook and Google+ updates, I can't seem to use it for the news; which oddly enough is all I use it for!
Also I'm looking at the text file and it does say:
com.twitter.android*.apk Twitter
yet Twitter is still installed. A piece of software I care not about.
Did I use the wrong file or something? Is there a way of reverting or do I start from scratch?
Thanks again

Hi, apologies for the delay replying.... Do you still need help?
The script removes most HTC bloat - there are a couple of apk's you need to install back to system.....
You can either flash the ROM again, and modify the the user file, or install the missing apk's which you can extract from the ROM zip - if you need help, let me know....

Hiya mate.
So I decided to rebuild my phone rather than restore APK's. I've attached a no-sense.txt file from your post and hashed out a few apps and added the kid mode thing.
does this look right? I think this is the one I used before and yet it never removed twitter. Does it sometimes have to be ran more than once?
Thanks again. Lots of thumbs up to you.

Credit to @R_a_z_v_a_n for the explanation (save me doing it!)
Odex Vs Deodex:
What is an ODEX file?
In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk. These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space. These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application. On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.
What is an DEODEX file?
Deodexing is basically repackaging of these APKs in a certain way, such that they are reassembled into classes.dex files. By doing that, all pieces of an application package are put together back in one place, thus eliminating the worry of a modified APK conflicting with some separate odexed parts.
So, Deodexed ROMs (or APKs) have all their application packages put back together in one place, allowing for easy modification such as theming. Since no pieces of code are coming from any external location, custom ROMs or APKs are always deodexed to ensure integrity.
The advantage of deodexing is in the ability to modify various APKs.
On the other hand, since the .odex files were supposed to quickly build the dalvik cache, removing them would mean longer initial boot times. However, this is true only for the first ever boot after deodexing, since the cache would still get built over time as applications are used. Longer boot times may only be seen again if the dalvik cache is wiped for some reason.
Re GPS, please install GPS Status Test & Fix - No Ads from the store and let me know if this runs ok....
MANY MANY THNX for the reply and credits to Razvan indeed

[Q] HTC 4.1.1 ROM Link?

Hey,
I want to reset my One S to the standard HTC-ROM, but I did not found an working one. Most of the links are dead and the ones that are working, cannot be flashed... The ROM that I tried to flash was one from the official OTA servers from HTC, but it showed up an error message while flashing. Does anyone have the HTC-ROM for the villec1 europe edition?
ATM I don't have the One S here, but I will pick it up later (it was in repair), if you would need more infos like the radio-version or things like that I could add it later.
Thanks!

Most links are dead, or taken over by ad servers or servers down for maintenance but indeed sammobile has some roms although not for my build.
Dont think im gonna go back to a stock rom with this phone though anymore.
But tkx for the advice

SamMobile works (sofar one of the few where you can dll stuff from), but the firmwares i find there are not for my build. I used manual search aswell the detect device option. I get hits, i can download them but when installing/flashing they never get accepted by my phone.
Anyway, hard to find roms/kernel nowadays for such a oldshool phone.

Cyanogen(mod).com Also with an Rom installer for windows. I did it the hard way, flashing kernel with Odin (unexpected and unwanted cuss Odin froze up and stopped unexpected, after reboot i saw i had another recovery mode on my phone) to CWM and ran an unofficial Cyanogen mod with CWM through the Recovery mode of my phone (update.zip, anyway, with the CWM recovery mode you can select any file anywhere on your SD-card when that kernel is installed, no need to rename files to 'update.zip' anymore)
As a complete noob, it took me a whole night (just a single night) to find all this out on my own, so if i can, everybody can !!!! ;-p

In the recovery menu it loads the package, opens the package and then i get 2 kind of errors saying "bad package" or "wrong package".
Not so sure what exactly it sais cuss did that a few days ago in the middle of the night (doing this a couple of nights now and have a big lack of sleep now) and with cwm recovery i can choose whatever file i want to use as update.zip (even with the original filename) so i putted alot of files on my sd-card and ran them all to hope one of them worked. So i got alot of errors to see till i finally got the CyanogenMod7 update file running and doing his job. Dont think im going for an Stock Rom anymore on that phone so i dont bother anymore trying with that.

You cannot flash official Samsung firmwares with a recovery. You have to use Odin. Follow this guide:

Stock Recovery- anybody have the img file?

I'm on the stock ROM, and an OTA just came out.
I'd like to install it, but I have TWRP recovery.
Anybody know where I can find the stock recovery?
Specifically, the Taiwan version.
HTC__621.
Every link I've found online for the RUU is dead ?

I have the following files (2.1GB, 2.4GB). Seems like most of the download links are dead as you described, and the only few left are CHARGING for the file...SMH...
2Q4DIMG_OCEAN_M_DUGL_O80_SENSE90GP_hTC_Asia_TW_1.23.709.3_Radio_8998-002772-1711161638_release_518568_signed_2_4_2.zip

Do you need the entire RUU, or just the extracted "recovery_signed.img"?
PM me.

Hello!
I'm pretty sure I just need the recovery, but it might be a good idea to have a copy of the entire RUU. Seems like it's practically disappeared! Thank you so much for your help.

HTC U11+ cannot flash RUU to get to stock so I can apply OTA

Hello there.
I have got another problem once again with getting my phone into stock.
I have the HTC u11 + from Taiwan, it's on 1.24.709.93.
So before I had Magisk installed and Unlocked bootloader. It modified my bootloader and then an update came up the update 1.24.709.994. So I wanted to update to it because it's annoying that it just pops up every now and then with a popup. So at first I tried to install it via normal ways by just clicking it to install it. It didn't work, it just went up to 25% when it was trying to install and then the Red exclamation mark came up. I know you can't install an OTA if you bootloader is modified. I got the 1.24.709.93 boot.img and flashed it over fastboot and then it successfully flashed it.
So I downloaded the RUU 1.24.709.93.rar one and then changed the name to 2Q4DIMG.zip then I put it into my sd card. I boot up to my download mode and press the VolUp and start flashing the 2Q4IMG.zip file. But I keep getting the 22_RU_Header_ERROR, 22_RU_Header_ERROR, FAIL22 RU_HEADER_ERROR. I don't understand why.
Can I get some help please?
Thank you very much for reading this.
The company HTC has never released its firmware in rar format. What you downloaded is a repackaging of the firmware files. Try to flash it was not worth it. The original RUU should only be a zip and signed with the appropriate key. For example 2Q4DIMG_OCEAN_M_DUGL_O80_SENSE90gp_htc_asia_tw_1.24.709.93_Radio_8998-002772-1712201227_release_528412_signed_2_4.zip

Thank you for the reply my friend.
However I really can't find any RUU files for the HTC U11 +. Could you maybe point out where it could possibly be?
Thanks once again.

You guys are the best. Thank you very much for the help. I didn't know that I had to specifically get that .zip file that had that appropriate key.
It worked flawlessly and now I updated my phone so it's perfect.
Thanks once again guys. You are the best!!!:laugh:
