[TIP] Running the RUU to get back to stock

I ran into a few problems getting back to stock until I remembered a minor detail from my HTC Hero days.
You need to download and install HTC Sync get it here install it.
Reboot your computer
make sure the phone is NOT in USB debug mode and is in charge only mode.
the proper drivers will install. you'll know it's done right if you see ADB pop up as one of the drivers installed. You'll see a warning that HTC sync isn't detecting your phone and that's ok.
Then run the RUU exe all should work fine.
Get the RUU exe from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952224 This is FROYO
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191959 This one is Gingerbread

Didn't realize debugging had to be disabled.

RUU? Where do I find that?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952224

So even if I've tried going through the rooting process and it didn't work, this will basically put the phone back the way it was before I started that process?

Good sir I can not thank you enough for helping me get my phone back. i don't even mind all the bloatware now. Too bad I can't use the thanks button more than once. I really appreciate it.

Happy to be of service. I can't dev my way out of a paper bag, well I've never tried, but I can share what I do know.

I tried to run the RUU but it failed twice. Both times it would get about 70% finished and it would stop with an Error 110 which says that a file is either open or corrupted. Then it tells you to download the RUU again and run it again, which I did but got the same results. I downloaded it with the anti virus and firewall turned off. Is there another site to download the file from?

Either flash a different rom via Clockwork Mod or run the RUU. If you choose the RUU, be sure HTC Sync is installed, USB Debugging is checked and Fastboot is unchecked.

Thank you! It works!
Just used this thread to get my Inspire back to stock before taking it back for a refund and cancelling service. Decided to go with the HTC Evo3d from Sprint. This method worked returning the phone back to the latest (Gingerbread) and unrooted it from Cyanogen (CM7) ROM. Thanks a ton for sharing your wisdom!

Baffling Issues.
Hey, I have a question. When running this RUU update (downgrade) it gives me this: Error 140: Bootloader version error. Its agravating. I'd love to go back to froyo... I really can't use GB because it blocks tethering. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I take it you're not S-OFF? HTC (and probably others) decided they didn't want users reverting to older versions. You'll have to root, get S-OFF, before you can revert, but if you're rooted, you might as well just use the new andTether from google code:

Just found out at Best Buy that my phone is crap. The memory is out and I have no apps installed, my HD card is empty except for the standard stuff, and I get error that I need to free up memory or something like that. Guy told me to UNroot my phone and call AT&T.
So, this thread is all I need to do that???? Can it really be this easy????
thanks so much,

Ok, thanks for the info! And this phone has no root, its my Moms phone and she needs the tethering. Eh, maybe we can exchange the phone. Other than that I don't know what to do. I'll browse a few more forums. Actually, one more question: is it possible to root with the latest update from HTC? As you can tell I'm really not that up to date on things around here. Haha.

[Q] is there a way to downgrade hboot 1.45.0013??

i was wondering if there is a way to do this. ??

As of right now no, were all basically stuck. Htc say they'll release a update at the end of the month to allow unlocking but that will void your warranty. Im just waiting for a crack for this version. Shouldn't Be too long i hope.

I did not realize that this phone still had an unlocked bootloader when I purchased it a few days ago. It's unfortunate how the HTC Unlocker was glitchy with the MT4GS; it might be why there's such a lack of development right now, haha.

I think we can start shelving the idea that there's a lack of dev for the device - some definite strides being made in that direction now.
We could always use more people helping make stuff, though.

I need a copy of an S-ON bootloader that has not been unlocked.
I need both S-ON 1.44.0007 and S-ON 1.45.0013 - if anyone can get either to me that would be great.
They are only 1MB in size and can be attached to a post in the forum.

The terminal command to back up a copy of it is:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/hboot.img
That will place a copy of your hboot on your sdcard, called hboot.img, if run from a terminal.
Nlarge got his unlocked S-ON bootloader added to that thread, now we need some regular S-ON ones to compare them to. If anyone can figure out how to get one to us it would be helpful.
We are trying to work the S-ON issue, but it's not exactly an easy nut to crack and we've mostly just started.
Thanks for any help that can be provided. This may not be all we need, but it's a start.

Hasn't anyone been able to flash the original PG59IMG.zip via the OTAbootloader patch?

Cool, we'll look it over and see what we come up with. No promises, just gonna look and see what we see and hope it leads to something.
The hboot may or (more likely) may not be the whole problem for s-off/s-on, but the more we have to play with the more we are learning.

Okay, we are working on that, etn4off is leading the charge on adb through stock recovery, so hold that thought.
Meantime, i've whipped up a new version of the stock restore .zip file, that should work on the new OTA.
( Make sure you have a full battery first!)
Edit - didn't work
What you have to do is rename the file to:
PG59IMG.zip
...then place on the main directory of your sdcard.
Make sure fastboot is turned off in settings on the phone, and then power off.
Hold Volume Down and press Power to turn it on, booting into hboot. The installer will take over from there and guide you through it.
It will load itself, then ask you to press Volume UP to install - then does it's thing and will tell you to press power to reboot when it is done.
This is basically the same restore file you get from here: Thread Link updated for the new OTA.
This should solve the version mismatch problem people were having, but won't know until someone tries to install it.
Afterwards you can run Revolutionary to S-OFF your 1.44.0007 hboot.
You will no longer be on the newest OTA, but then you can apply it if you want and go back - as long as you run the Revolutionary process on the 1.44.0007 hboot before you do.

I'm going to try this asap

No. That's why I said we won't know until someone tries.
I've run the package on both of my devices, so can attest to it working - but they are both s-off.
I've run it from the device in the newest OTA form, and it brought me back, but the old package did too - seems no version check on my devices (probably any s-off devices)
I've run from all versions of the hboot - 1.44.0006, 1.44.0007, 1.44.1107, and 1.45.0013, but they were all s-off.
As for what happens with an s-on device... ...? I updated the version because in another thread that was pinpointed as the problem for it not installing on the newest OTA.

Okay thanks, it was pretty much an 'it will do it or it won't' situation, so we'll have to try something else.
I wish I could get an s-on device in my hands that I could try stuff on - for now it's test and test and test on the s-off, then try on the s-on ...
Sorry it didn't work, we'll have to try another way.

I'll give this a try as well, even though it supposedly doesn't work. Better try than not.
Is what you're trying to do make the older ROM (with the 1.44.0007 HBOOT) appear as an update to the newer update so we can, in a way, downflash to the older HBOOT that's compatible with the Revolutionary tool?
I'm kind of new to the whole Android scene and am just curious as to how things work.

If this flashes it should revert the phone back to retail launch - but it's probably not going to. Finding a way to force it could have a less then desirable outcome.
If it doesn't take, don't try to force the issue with it unless you know what you're doing and why.

Well I tried it as well and it got a check, but it didn't install anything. I wish I had the know-how to mess around with this stuff.

[Q] Updated to Jellybean -> Flashed custom ROM -> Have issues

So after having Jellybean updated on my Telstra One XL I decided to much around with recoveries and custom ROMs to see if I could get them running. I realised that this was going to cause issues, but I was fine with mucking around with it.
I unlocked the phone and got a recovery installed and of course the touchscreen didn't work in recovery. So I mucked around with it and managed to get ROMs installed via manual boot.img flashing and manual ROM flashing via:
Code:
adb shell recovery --update_package=/sdcard/rom.zip
My test was with CM10 and it got up and running. The only issue is that touchscreen doesn't work. Which made any progression through the setup phase impossible
If anyone has any clues as to how to get this up and going again I'm all ears.
I tried to use JET to roll back the HBOOT and try to roll back the firmware, but the RUUs wanted none of it.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony

Did you try Jet again to get back to hboot 1.09 a second time?
Does it allow you to RUU again or just nothing?
I would have tried a newer RUU also, like 2.42.

Can you update hboot without updating stock ROM?

Hey guys, I just got 2 HTC Sensation 4Gs off of Craigslist, they are both still running Gingerbread. I want to root and custom rom, but I'm aware that I cannot install newer ICS+ ROMs without updateing the hboot.
My question is, is it easier to HTC Dev Unlock, root, s-off, Super CID, and THEN update the hboot. Or update the phone with the official ICS update (thus also updating the hboot) and THEN HTC Dev Unlock, root, s-off, Super CID?
I've already had experience rooting and s-off(ing) 2 ICS sensations, but don't know if I could do it easier if I don't update them first.
If it is easier to update the hboot after rooting Gingerbread, can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Hi,
If you intend to s-off on GB ,then, do NOT go to HTCDEV
S-off using revolutionary.
Look HERE
Everything is listed in order.
Then, update the firmware/radio HERE , using the 3.33 Universal firmware.
Then,install custom ROM.

Thanks! Exactly what I wanted. question though, is the latest 3.33 okay to use on T-Mobile? Or is there a more T-Mobile optimised version I should use?

It says enter Serial Number on Revolutionary IO. Does it mean the S/N beneath the battery or the IMEI? Both are getting accepted and I'm being given 2 different keys. I'm pretty confident that it means the S/N so that's what i'm going to try. Is that correct?

Hi,
Yes,you need a sd card.
It is far easier to s-off with revolutionary,so it is worth the effort to find the correct drivers,and re-install them(and reboot the pc)
Also try different usb slots,and a different cable if you have one.

Okay, thanks. I'll also try doing it in Linux Mint. I'll let you know if I need more help.
But one last question. In step one it says:
1. Run the revolutionary Utility you just downloaded from http://revolutionary.io/ and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
It doesn't say to plug in the phone, which is a given, or what mode it needs to be in?
THEN it says to do it again but this time plug in the phone, in normal mode, and set it to HTC sync

No, I plug the phone in and then start the utility. It wouldn't find it though so I uninstalled and re-installed the drivers. But I can't restart my PC right now. In 90 minutes I can though. (watching a live stream with family)
I'll let you know if I get it working, whether through windows or linux.

Ugh, my PC is saying that USBcoinstaller.dll is missing. Any idea how to get it? I can't find it by searching google.
Maybe I have to download the android SDK. Didn't need to before when I rooted my ICS sensation a few months ago. But maybe I have to for gingerbread.

I tried downloading and installing the recommended SDK zip and it wasn't giving me the files he said it would, then I installed revision 9 and 15 because it said it neded them, they ended up bringing "Platform-tools" which contains another ADB.exe, and it won't let me delete it. I tried installing the latest HTC Sync and it doesn't find my phone. It still gives me the error about USBCoInstaller.dll I am going to reboot my PC but I honestly don't know what I did or how to fix it. Everytime I start any ADB including revolutionary.exe it pops open does a TON of text for a split second and then closes again. Any Suggestions after I reboot?
Edit: actually revolutionary.exe pops open and closes quickly without displaying anything.

My brother fixed it. apparently I want thinking about the fact that HTC sync can't be installed. And the driver wasn't completely installed, which he solved as well. So we're now using revolutionary.

[Q] [SOLVED] Installed Cleanrom 7.1 ! Issues with Reboot

[SOLVED]
Hi,
I installed Cleanrom 7.1 on my HBOOT 1.19 HOX. The phone booted up fine after I flash the boot.img from the ROM.
Here is where the problem started. The reboot causes the phone to pretty much go blank after the HTC build warning screen. If I flash the boot.img, it goes back to the phone and is usable until I reboot it again.
The ROM itself is very smooth to use, but I am wondering, what is wrong with the ROM install, Is the boot.img not being saved ?
Any help would be appreciated, this is the only ROM which seems to be stable, apart from this issue.
Device details
AT&T HOX
HBOOT 1.18
S-ON
Radio - 0.19
TWRP 2.4.20

You need to upgrade your firmware to 2.15, that's been stated in the Cleanrom thread.

I upgraded the TWRP recovery to 2.6 and flashed CleanROM again, but same result. I have tried to follow the Facepalm S-OFF procedure, but after the flashing of the OneX zip, the adb commands have no effect, I keep getting a "device not found" error. I think there is a ADB environment issue, ever since I flashed a custom ROM on the phone.

Try flashing a different ROM to get s-off and make sure you have usb debugging enabled.

HBOOT is my biggest obstacle, I am S-ON, and I am not sure how to get to do that without getting to S-OFF. I will keep trying to S-OFF anyway.

I finally found my solace in CleanROM 6.5. Thank you developers, out of blue it all worked suddenly. The reboots are less frequent, but the battery life is just amazing, as good as stock, I might dare to say.
I am still unable to do s-off and I am rooted and the file flashes, but the adb commands still fail. I am taking a break and giving this ROM sometime before launching again. :angel:

Patience paid off
I would like to thank and close out the thread.
I found out the issue with the ADB environment & was able to finish off s-off , firmware upgrade & move to CleanRom 7 since yesterday and it is looking good.
For the masses, if it is of any interest. These are the steps I followed.
a. Download the ADK (Android Dev Kit) ~470MB (This was the only option which worked for me)
b. Extract & copy the folder platform-tools to C:\ as android
c. Set the environment path to point to this folder. This would resolve all your *device not found* errors while running ADB.
If not, then
1. Remove all HTC drivers & sync software
2. Run a registry cleaner like Ccleaner to remove any leftout entries.
3. Download & run the latest HTC sync software.
4. Once Install has completed, connect your phone & switch on USB debugging. The PC would recognize the phone & install most drivers.
5. Fire up a CMD window in the Android folder & run "adb devices". If you see your phone listed, you're good to go.
Else,
6. Reboot the phone to bootloader & give it a wait. It should install the Android phone 1.0 device driver.
7. Boot the phone to Android & wait for system to install all drivers once more.
8. Run the command in step 5 again to verify that system recognizes your device.
If the above steps work, go ahead and s-off your phone. Then do the firmware upgrade & you should be able to run any ROM without issues.

Good news, maybe update the title of the thread to [SOLVED] so anyone else with the same problem can see it easily.

If you edit the top post, you will see a button "go advanced". Pick it, and you will be able to edit the thread title.

Hey I'm looking for cleanROM 6.5 for my freshly rooted and unlocked AT&T HOX. Can you point me in the direction of that 6.5 download? The dev-host link for it isn't working anymore, and I can't seem find it anywhere else. If you got it from there before it went down, I don't suppose you still have the zip file? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

If you are still out there looking for the ROM let me know. I can try putting it up what I have on the websomewhere and share the link. It's been ages since I came back to XDA due to my world travels.
