Custom RUU Issue

I was trying to flash my phone to a diffent ROM< but now everytime that i have tryed, it gives me an error - get newer updater. I have used CUstom RUU V. 1 that comes with most roms, and i have used the 5.22. The Hard SPL version is 1.00liPof. Help!!!

I think you may have the wrong section, what phone are u using, i dnt thats a kaiser hardspl

Hard SPL 1.00lipro is a hardspl for the kaiser, i have it on my kaiser. Although the 5.22 he refers to i have no idea what they mean?
Opening poster try to explain in more detail what it is that you are trying to do, i.e. what rom it is that you are trying to install, what windows you are using on your pc etc.
If you cant use that ruu try this one i attached

Ah i see, ive never really had that problem even though ive flashed on xp, vista and 7. Very weird. Try changing Hardspl.Good Luck and use the ruu that has been given here

had that problem
When i switched to windows 7 i had a similar issue. There should be an update now that you plugged your phone in to the c. Try to see if there is a windows update that shows up now.

Hi,
Or Even try to mount a virtual machine in Xp with Vmware or similar...
Good luck

Update your hardspl to 3.29 or 3.34. The spl you are using is for WM 6.0

sd
flash via micro sd. easy, faster, gets rid of a middle man. and update your spl.
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Kaiser Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your computer
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to KAISIMG.nbh
4. Copy the KAISIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card

6. Hold in the Power and Camera buttons, then press the reset button with the stylus for about 3 seconds until the BootLoader screen appears
7. You will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
8. A message will then pop up asking you to press the Power button to start the update
9. Press power button to start flashing
10. Once phone finishes flashing and says Update Complete, reset with the stylus
11. When it gets to the screen where it configures the stylus, HARD RESET

UK G1 (DRC92) - Just wanna install Froyo - VERY confused

Hiya!
So, I am no android beginner, but to me there seems to be a continual branching off & fragmentation (and obsolescence) in tutorials, howto's etc etc.
This is what I have: UK T-mobile G1, running Android 1.6, build DRC92
This is what I want: UK T-mobile G1, running Android 2.2 or higher
This is what irritates me: 1001 different tutorials, each of which (wrongly) *assume* you know what you are doing with this particular handset
I know what I am doing with ZTE, and Android OS in general, but I want to get this CLEAR, as clear as crystal, and I want to do it by following a SIMPLE, non-ambiguous, non-assuming tutorial. That SHOULD be simple, but it seems not.
I need to upgrade "SPL" and "RADIO". I need this explaining please, in as much detail as you can, if you don't mind?
I am sorry to sound demanding, but this whole process is a minefield of conflicting opinions, geek ego battles and preferences... and ALL I wanna do is upgrade!
Please, any help?
PLEASE: I ask that you don't just simply link me to other tutorials, as I am confused about how to do this, and that will just set me back to square one again. If you are able to spare a few minutes to explain what to do, I would be most grateful.
Thank you!

It is hard not to link you to the instruction that is already there. But I do understand your frustration. When I first started I had the same (similar problem) and end up following one of the instruction. FYI, the only links I posted is the recommended Froyo ROM. It has Android 2.2.1.
Simply put, here is from Instruction I have when I first rooted my G1:

I) Formatting the SD Card and Downgrading to RC29(YOU WILL DELETE EVERYTHING OFF YOUR SD CARD!)
1. Plug your USB cable into your computer and then plug your phone in.
2. Mount your SD card by sliding down the notification bar and selecting mount.
3. Go to My Computer and access your SD card.
4. BACKUP ANY FILES THAT YOU WANT ONTO YOUR COMPUTER. VERY IMPORTANT!
5. Go back to my computer and right click on the drive that is your sd card. Click format. Choose FAT32 from the drop down and hit the format button. This removes all data from your memory card.
6. Once the format is complete: drag and drop "DREAIMG.nbh & Update.zip files that you downloaded into the sd card. (DO NOT create a folder or anything, just put it right in the SD card)
7. Unmount your phone by going through the notification bar and then unplug your phone Turn your phone off. from your computer.

11. Once the phone is on, just turn it back off.
12. Now press the Home+End Key until you see a triangle with an exclamation point in it (this is recovery mode). Once you see this let go of the buttons.

11. Scroll down and select "Flash .zip from SDcard"
12. Select the G1 Radio file (named OTA Radio or something like that) and hit the Home key to confirm. DO NOT SELECT ANY OTHER FILE, THE RADIO MUST BE DONE FIRST.
13. Once the Radio Flash is complete Press Home+Back to reboot the phone. It will then say "writing radio image" and then reboot back into recover mode (this will take some time)
14. Once back into recovery mode, scroll and select "Flash zip from SDcard" again.

Well first of all this isn't Q&A this is a development section, second look for the guide in the dev section, its easy to follow and not complicated at all, download a few files, blah blah blah your done. Took me 5 minutes.
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using XDA App

i won`t go down to rc29. on market is an application named universal androot which works on htc dream ( 1.5 and higher ). this will root your phone but until you`ll restart the phone, you`ll have to flash recovery image ( amon-ra-1.7.0 ). after you restart your phone and still have root privilegies, that`s a good moment to change SPL. ezTerry`s tutorial i think is the best there is.
flash another rom. i am using now Nameless jedi`s rom maybe because i find it the best or just because i`m a star wars fan
i did not covered it all in this post ( i`m pretty sure ) so if your stuck in there somewhere ( android related ) you can IM me anytime. maybe we`ll even try a live installfest
p.s. the dreaimg.nbh is a "good to have" file. although i hope you`ll never use it.

METHOD 2 - ENG HBOOT
Now the method I found to debrand (rather than messing about with CIDs), is using an ENG HBOOT, this is only temporary as the ROM we flash later on overwrites it.
Grab the file below (thanks to Bin4ry), and put it in the root of your SD Card. (i.e. if your on Windows, X:/ [where X is the letter of your Sensation's SD Card])

Flash ENG HBOOT
1. EITHER:
1a. Shut down your phone, then take out your battery and put it back in.
OR:
1b. Make sure fastboot is disabled in settings and shut down your phone (This can be done via Settings > Power> Untick "FAST BOOT" at the bottom.)
2. Keep hold of the volume down button and switch your phone on.
3. When it asks "Do you want to start the update", press Volume Up to accept
5. Press Power Off to reboot back to normal homescreen
6. Remove PG58IMG.zip from your memory card
Download an RUU
1. You now need to pick the RUU you wish to flash, a good source is this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1074559
To debrand my Vodafone Sensation, I chose "RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1_Radio_10.43a.90 0 7.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198179_signed"
2. Once you have downloaded the RUU you would like to flash, run it (it can take a while to load), and stop when you get the welcome screen, which has a picture of a Sensation on the left and a red caution notice on the right.
3. Move this window out of the way (it forces itself into foreground), then open up windows explorer and go to:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp
4. Then sort by Date Modified. Find the newest folder with a long random sequence of numbers as its name, go in here and you should see, three files and a folder: corecomp, dotnetinstaller, IBSEW64. (the files may be different on 32-bit OS), now go into the folder which has another long random name.
In there amongst a lot of files (use search if you need to), you will find rom.zip. This is the rom we want to flash!
5. Copy the rom.zip file to the root of your SD Card
(i.e. if your on Windows, X:/ [where X is the letter of your Sensation's SD Card])
6. Rename the rom.zip you just put on your SD Card, to PG58IMG.zip (ensure you do not rename it to PG58IMG.zip.zip or it wont work!)
7. Find the "HTC Android ROM Update Utility" Window, and hit Cancel.
THIS IS YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY TO BACKUP DATA, ALL EXISTING DATA, CONTACTS, MESSAGES SETTINGS, APPS, ETC, WILL BE DELETED AFTER THE NEXT STEP.
MAKE SURE THE BATTERY INDICATOR IN THE NOTIFICATION AREA SHOWS GREEN, NOT ORANGE OR RED, BEFORE CONTINUING.
Flash RUU (rom.zip)

2. Keep hold of the volume down button and switch your phone on.
3. When it asks "Do you want to start the update", press Volume Up to accept (this can take a while and its normal for the system part to appear to go in a loop several times)
5. Press Power Off to reboot to first time setup.
6. Your phone is now debranded!

The only solution I know to revert to stock is in step 5 THIS guide , but it requires a connection with the PC. The guide you find isn't for your problem, if I understand well. Have a read here also to understand why you can't revert to stock without PC connection. sorry I can't help more
P.S If you want to turn it back for repairs don't worry too much, they usually never check if you are rooted. Just install a custom ROM that looks like stock and change your boot image to the Orange one

Well that's the best idea I think what rom ics looks the most like stock.

BLU Quattro 4.5 (440D) GSM Recovery+Root
Hello... I got my BLU Quattro 4.5 (D440) a while back, didn't fuzz with it much right off. The Stock ROM was sluggish at best thought there was even an issue with the Digitizer/screen. But this thread was extremely helpful. I am now running Shendu ROM 4.1.2 one of the suggested ROM's above. I tried the other 2 first and they were mostly in Chineese and I had an especially hard time getting them switched over to English. Either way onward to the point. I have put together a few helpful tips-tricks for my experience with this phone and its phoenix transition to an awesome handset. Thats right now this is my daily driver and I love it! See below hope its helpful.
BLU Quattro 4.5 (440D) GSM Recovery+Root
These steps for this phone only!! Not responsible for any issues.
1. download ROM's, Recovery, & Driver from XDA (this thread)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2327417
2. Enable USB Debugging! Go into Apps-Settings-DevOptions - Check box for USB Debug
3. Have original USB cord if handy! I tried with a Samsung OEM cable but no luck getting drivers to stick. Use original is best. (If you have one.)
Plug in USB Cord to PC then Phone and see if windows detects drivers. let it. It wont get the ones u need later, but what it does find is for USB storage. (you can move over your ROM's/Gapps to storage, downloads folder is a good spot).
4. Go to... http://junefabrics.com/android/downloadold.php to get pdanet software. Install it and it will give i the right drivers for ADB support. I used 4.01 to match the android version currently on my phone.
5. Extract the Driver provided from XDA. Put it in a folder with the ADB commands. Or you can get it all here... http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/G...usRootNew.zipn <-- I know this isn't for BLU but, if you extract this to a folder, and also add the drivers extracted to it as well this works! I've done it.
6. Extract the English Recovery to the same folder.
7. Turn off your phone. Hold down Vol up and Power button for about 5-9 seconds. Once you see a green screen let go of both. Screen may flicker then go black but the icons at the bottom will stay lit. You are now in APX mode (nvflash) mode. (as stated above in original post)
8. Check your Win 7 PC device manager. For a Phone device with ADB. If you you may need to update driver with the one that came from XDA, but the PDANet software should make it work.
8. Go to the folder and find Recovery.bat file (may have Chinese in file name. Double click and a command prompt window will pop up with a bunch of unknown characters, wait 5 sec then hit enter. The batch file should take of pushing the necessary recovery through ADB to the phone. It will error if it can't.
9. If completes OK. Push power for 7-9 seconds to power off the phone. Hit power like normal to turn it back on. It will boot up like normal (or it should).
10. USB is still connected this whole time and you can open a command prompt window. Navigate to the folder you placed the Recovery into. Something like user/username/desktop/BLU/recovery..etc)
Type ADB devices....it should show you that is is connected to your device. Then type " adb reboot recovery " and the device should reboot, give it some time.
11. Once in recovery. Best to do a backup of the original ROM & system. that way you can get back into recovery if anything goes wrong and wipe out the problem by restoring and starting again.
After you backup === you can get into recovery without the command being typed in or even being connected to your PC.... By holding Vol up + Power till you see the green screen then let go of power but keep holding Vol up till you see the BLU Products boot screen then let go ===
Clockworkmod Recovery should be on your screen.
you can reboot phone now and get back to original with no changes. Or you can venture into the world of loading ROM's (There in your downloads folder if you saved them in Step 3)
ROM 101
BACKUP-BACKUP-BACKUP 1st thing once in Recovery ...can't stress enough how much of trouble you can keep yourself out of by keeping an original backup.
As I stated before the Shendu ROM + Gapps is running smooth and all features I've been trying are working flawlessly!! Thanks to original post for getting me going. Just thought I'd add my 2 Cents.

[Completed] R

Alright for the past two week I had searched every corner of the internet looking up on how to install the “MOAR ROM”. Just getting the same answer install with “TWRP”. And to install TWRP you had to root your phone. So now I had to search on the internet and find a tutorial on how to root my phone. In the end I had to go through three different tutorials on how to get the MOAR ROM flashed on my phone. And where I had to go to get the files to download.
Well so you don’t have to do the long, and arbitrary tasks that I had to go through. Here is a tutorial – Telling you from start to finish on what you need to do.
This is for the Sprint Variant of the Samsung Galaxy S5. I don’t know if this will work on other version of the S5.
I apologize on the crudeness of this tutorial, a lot of this was written from memory.
All of the software you need to download is provided by clicking on words that are highlighted in brownish tan-ish color
I don’t not nor do the developers of the software you use are responsible for the lost of data and/or lost of your phone. You assume responsible for modifying your phone.
I have not created any of the software provide in this tutorial.
Step 1. Make sure you have VPU1BOA6 (Lollipop) OS installed on your phone.
-To see if you have this already installed your phone.
- You go to your phones “Setting”
- From there go to “About Device”
- You will then see “Software Version” and underneath that you will see “G900PVPU1BOA6”
If you see “OA6” you are good to go on to step 2. for rooting your device. So Please Continue. If you do not see this that is okay all you need to do is either update your phone or you need to flash the appropriate OS on your phone. To do this continue on to step 1a.
Step 1a. If you fail to see “OA6” in under “Software Version” then you will have to download some files.
- You will need to download Odin
- Then you will need to download the OS “Lollipop”
- Once you have both of these move to step 1b.
Step 1b. Warning!!! Installing this OS will wipe your phone of all its data. Highly recommend that you create back of contacts, photos, videos, etc.
- Now unzip Odin, and run SM-G900P_OA6_FullRestore.exe (This is will give you the Lollipop OS it will unzip it to the file destination you wish)
-Run Odin, Click on the AP button – A window should appear, navigate to where you unzip the OS and click on it.
- Now it is time to move on to set 1c.
Step 1c. Now it is time to put your phone into Recovery Mode and to connect to the computer.
- Power down the phone, once the phone is power down hold the “Home + Power + Volume Down Buttons” Do not let go until you see text show up in the upper left corner of the screen.
- Now some of you might see a screen that gives you a Warning about custom firmware and roms. And press up on the volume on button to continue or press volume down to restart the phone. If you want to continue press up.
- If you have elected to press up then you are awesome and it is time to continue on your route to being rooted. Now you will see the Android Guy “Downloading” or something to that effect. Plug your phone into your computer
- Now move to step 1d.
Step 1d. Again Warning: You will lose your phone data. Continue at your own risk.
- Press Start, on Odin once your phone is connected to your computer. Let it do its thing. Go make some coffee.
- Once it has installed the new OS go ahead and setup your “Slight used Phone”
-You ready for step 2. I think you are.
Step 2. Alright you have decide to root your phone, because you love all the options the Android OS has already provided you. But you know your phone can do more and you want more and deserve all of it.
- So first thing you need is the rooting tool and Odin if you don’t have download it. You will also need to two other additional files. SUPERSU and Knox Removal Mod Do Not Unzip these two (2) additional files.
-Now that you have the all four (4) items downloaded. Unzip the rooting tool and Odin. Now run Odin and click the AP button and find the rooting tool you just unzipped. Now let’s put your phone into download mode and connect to the computer.
- To put your phone into Download mode shut it down and hold the “Home + Power + Volume Down Buttons” until you see a Words in the upper left hand corner of the screen and a Paragraph that Say “Warning. Custom firmware Blah Blah Blah…etc. Press Volume Up to continue or Volume down to restart phone” Press up then Android guy shows up with downloading underneath him. Connect your phone at this point to the computer.
-Press start on Odin. Let it do its thing it should only take to 5 minutes at the most. Now that it is done. Shut your device completely down.
-Go to step 2a.
Step 2a. You will need a Micro SD card. Add those two other files. To the root of the SD card.
- Move to step 2b.
Step 2b. You need to put your phone into recovery mode.
- Your device should be completely shut off now. To put into recovery mode you need to hold down these buttons (Home + Power + Volume UP Buttons). You should see in the upper left hand corner of the screen text saying Recovery…
- You will see a list of options you will want to click to on “apply update from external storage” Find one of the two files you add to the root of the SD card and click. It should start to apply the update. Once that is complete. Repeat the process from Step 2b. for the other file.
- Go to Step 3.
Step 3. So you have decide you like to play risky and rooting just wasn’t cutting for you Daredevil.
- Go to “Play Store” Type into the Search bar “TWRP” – Install “TWRP Manager”
- Once it installed, Open the application, Grant the application root access. Now that the application has root access click on Menu icon in the upper left hand side. Once there go to “Install TWRP”.
- Click on “Device Name” and scroll through the device list and find the “Galaxy s5” and click it. It will then go back to “Install TWRP” page. Now press “Install Recovery” And let it work.
-Go to Step 4.
Step 4. Assuming everything for you so far has gone to plan. The next step is to install MOAR (Mother Of All Roms). Do not unzip the file.
-Connect your phone to the computer.
-Now that you have download MOAR. Move it the “Download” Folder on the SD Card. It will make easier to locate later.
- Now power down the phone and go into the recovery menu. To do this make sure your phone is off and now hold (Home + Power + Volume UP Buttons). Once there click on “Advance”, Then “File Manager”. There you will a list of options scroll until you see “external_sdcard”. Now you will see another list scroll until you see “download”.
-Now find the “MOAR” file. Click it, a couple of options will show up and press “Move”. Now a list will show up, scroll through it and locate the "sdcard”. Another list will show up, scroll through it and locate “TWRP” and press “Select” in the lower right corner and let it do its thing.
- Now go back to the Main Menu. Once you get there click “Install”. You should see the MOAR file, click it. It will take you to another screen and it will ask you to “Swipe to Confirm Flash”. After that your coffee should be done brewing and you might want to get a bagel while you are at.
If you get a couple of errors after installing MOAR, remove the battery and then stick back in and it should correct your problem.
