Hi all
I have a BIG problem.
I rott my phone with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186401 (with Revolutionary). It was all ok, the recovery and the custom rom worked fine, but i wanted to restore the stock rom, whit this guidehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1187231, but the step 3 is not working, the ruu installer stoped with bootloader error (i try this rom: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release)
In my phone only run the bootloader:
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.980000
RADIO-3805.06.02.02_M
eMMC-boot
I think my radio version is wrong, but i can't flash older version.
Thanks for help.
Have you tried the PB88 method? Secondly I think there are 2 Europe RUU's so have you tried the other?
It has nothing to do with your radio by the way!
Which one do you think PB88 method?
I try PB88IMG.zip copy to sd card, and y try the 2 europe RUU.
not working

How did you do it? Unzip your RUU, find a file called rom.zip, remane it PB88IMG and put just that file in the root of your sd card, then boot into HBoot.
How can i unzip this file, this is an exe file? Rename to zip is not work
this method not work, i think because my phone is s-on
It should be PG88IMG.zip
not PB88IMG.zip
You need to run the RUU exe, and when it comes to the first ROM install screen (after extracting files), leave the program open, go to Start -> Run, type this:
%temp%
Then in your temp folder, sort by date modified and go into the most recent created folder, and I think you have to go into another folder as well. Basically look aruond and find the rom.zip file, rename it to PG88IMG.zip, copy it to your SD card, then start your phone in bootloader. It should recognize the file and ask if you want to install.
if you have a goldcard and the other things not work. try the GoldCard and show wath the RUU say. (Boot in fastboot for install the RUU)
Thanks.......
If you have your RUU you can just extract it from that

Unfortunately this shows you've done no research before flashing your phone. The RUU (ROM Upgrade Utility) is the stock ROM for your specific device. It's ALWAYS recommended to have it handy in case you ever need to restore your phone back to stock
I have nandroid backups, just never used the RUU. How do I extract from an Exe just an Img file?
1. Start the RUU. When you get to the first main page move it to the bottom of your screen so you can only see the title bar (otherwise it's always in front of everything)
2. Click Start>Run and type %temp%
3. Look for the newest folder in there. Within this is a ZIP file called 'rom' - open this with a decent program like 7-Zip
4. Extract the recovery file from it
Hello look for a link works for PG88IMG_based_on_RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1.zi p
Anyone can help me.
i find this but link not work

and here it is...
based on the RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release
downloadlink: PG88IMG_based_on_RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1.zip
just rename it to "RG88IMG.zip" and put it on the root of your sd card.
then reboot into fastboot mode (bootloader) and the rest will be done automaticly.
you can extract that zip file to modify the system image to get root e.g.
search the forums to get it out how.
kind regards

Just scroll down a bit
Edit: forget to mention, maybe your zip-file already contains the pg88.. Thing you need

Thanks for the reply but that's only radio and I need ROM a full install from sdcard And also does not need to do s-off
OP says you need pg88img.
That's not a ROM
Which ROM do you need? didn't searching the forum solve you're problem?
You have to state clearly what you want or need
Edit: Maybe that's what you need

Whatever may be the reason that you need this (?) here is how to get it yourself:
Download RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release from the sticky Stock ROMs thread.
Run the RUU on your PC.
On the first screen (do not press anything when it starts) open your Windows Explorer, browse to the C: drive and in the search field type rom.zip.
Wait for the search to complete and copy the rom.zip file to another loacation.
Close the RUU setup.
Rename the rom.zip (this is exactly what are you looking for) to PG88IMG.zip and copy to SDCard.
Yeah you are thinking about the rom.zip of the RUU which is renamed to that. So follow what amidabuddha said!
Thank you very much this is exactly what i look for.
thanks for all
I'd like to remove root and go back to stock. I have a rogers one x and I've tried using the rogers RUU PJ83IMG.... to flash back to stock, but I can't use fastboot since my phone is bootloader locked, and I can't run the RUU because it is a .zip file and not a .exe. Renaming it to an .exe and running it does nothing.
Any help is appreciated!
Try un-zipping the file and run the exe in the folder created. Also, since we do not have s-off yet, we are able to remove tampered banner, but it will say re-locked. No estimated arrival of s-off at this point.

This. The RUU file is not meant to be run as-is. Unzip the contents onto your PC (such as into a folder on your PC desktop), then run the .exe that is inside the extracted contents.
And where did you get the idea of changing the extension from .zip to .exe? That's probably a bad idea in almost all circumstances. You can't just change the type of file by renaming it.

The "tampered" flag will be removed after RUU. Tampered flag is for root, not BL unlock. And the OP said he is still BL locked.

Thanks for your replies. Unfortunately there is no .exe in the RUU. I have googled extensively but cannot find one with an executable. Would either of you be able to link me? I need Rogers 1.73. Thanks for your help
Edit: I discovered this and tried it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658929 however i get an IMAGE UPDATING ERROR: This ROm update utility cannot update your device.
if you go to setting about/software information what does it say under software version?
also if your bootloader is unlocked relock it in fastboot with the command "fastboot oem lock"

when you flashed it did you get an error 155 or an error 140?
also THIS is the RUU you need http://www.filefactory.com/file/9qe....09.06_10.81.32.14L_release_254934_signed.zip
And you didn't mess with the CID ever? If not, I don't see any reason why the correct (Rogers) RUU would not work. Make sure HTC Sync is installed (maybe re-install, just to be safe), reboot the computer and try again. Perhaps try to download the RUU again, just to make sure the download isn't corrupt.

Ohh, you're right! I changed the Cid to 1111111.. For supercid. How do I change that back?
As for the ruu, I can't run them because I have no exercise file to run. Changing the zip to an exercise gives me an error about my computer not being able to run it. I will download the above ruu and try it when I get home in an hr.
Thanks for your help!
You should be able to run the Rogers RUU with SuperCID. That's what SuperCID is, it lets you install firmware regardless of the CID that its intended for.
Not sure how to change the CID back to Rogers. Look on the SuperCID thread (not the one-click method, but the original "longer" method) and see if there is discussion on changing it back.
And to reiterate, you can't magically change a file from one type to another, just by changing the file extension from .zip to .exe. The RUU package should have ARUWIzard.exe inside once you unzip it. Are you sure you are unzipping it properly?

The problem is the rogers file isn't an EXE it's a zip file. There's a post somewhere around here explainng how to install it.

Ahh, I see the problem. The Rogers files is not a true RUU package, just the zip file usually contained in the "larger" RUU zip file. Is that right? The OP still can't change the file extension to .exe and make it run that way. Sounds like from the thread the OP linked in post 4 above, he needs to have a folder with the "other" RUU contents (including ARUWizard.exe), drop the file you linked (from Filefactory), then run the ARUWizard. Its not completely clear, but this seems to be the way?
He could also I thing just put that pdimg. Zip file on the SD card and boots into recovery and it should flash right?

Not sure. I've never in my life flashed anything from stock recovery
But it seems logical. I think normally the ARUWizard says its pushing the file to the phone, so it would make sense it just flashes from stock recovery.
I understand that I can't change the filetype like that . I just saw peterhtc mention having to do that in another thread. I am sure i have unzipped it properly. I'll try again with the other ruu linked above.

if you unzip it and see a zip file that starts with pd and some number I THINK it's 83 put that file on the root of your SD card space and reboot to bootloader. Then choose recovery. If all goes well it will detect that file and allow you to flash it. It should work fine because it's a signed zip from HTC.

Haha well no not exactly. I have been dealing with rogers for 2 months trying to return the phone I bought outright in order to get a new one on a plan. I originally wanted to see how the SG3 was so I could still return the onex in time to pick that up, but I think i'll be sticking with the HTC (the sg3 is SO ugly). I assure you I am not jumping ship

So I tried to place the full zip file onto the phone in the main directory, both as the full file name and then just as the P83..etc name, rebooted into recovery, but I just got a pic of the phone with a red triangle+ exclamation mark. Currently I am extracting the whole zip onto the main directory and will try flashing recovery like this. Is that safe? I assume the phone will be able to tell which .img it needs. There is no file that begins with P83 in the actual zip

Is it possible to dump a stock rom and build a custom rom with it?
The reason I want to know is because I would like to create a rom using the Rogers RUU
Of course - that's how the dev's do it mate.
Sent from my HTC One XL
Yep, and I figure ill post it here for everyone to know
Basically, run the RUU without your phone connected, then go to the last step when it tells you to connect your phone to your PC.
Then with the RUU still open, go to Windows Explorer (file manager) and:
if on XP go to: C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Temp\
if on Vista/7 go to: %temp%
you can go to them by just pasting it into the file manager location bar on top.
Look for the "rom.zip" file (either sort by date in that folder or just use the search bar in that directory).
Move that rom.zip to your desktop or whatever and close out of the RUU.
And then you got yourself a fresh rom.zip
