Make sure the file name of ROM you're going to flash from SD card is RAPHIMG.NBH and that it is in the root folder. Also remember about installing hard-SPL mod. You can still upgrade firmware using Active Sync without taking care of ROM file name.

If that's the firmware you need, just download it and put in a zip file.
right click on the folder then add to archive. use the compression method store.
That should work but do a backup before hand just in case.
I tried to zip it and rename it to update.zip and install it via cwm recovery but the recovery said that it failed on signature.. Something.,,

The file is already a zip file, it's just in the wrong compression method...
using winrar, open the zip file, then tools, then convert archive.
A box should appear, change the archive format to zip, and compression method to store.
Hi, isaias19, I also have a prototype o3d. I can not use it after rom(v10d, v10e) upgrade. If possible, could you post your v08 rom backup file using cmw?? Thanks.
@ modernbruce
we have the same problem , i did not backup my stock rom thats why iam searching for the v08 firmware. =C
Hi ,
For your case update.zip will not solve your problem.
you need dump your system and replace by another one:
To see your partition :
adb shell cat /proc/partitions
After try use these command to put your new system :

If you have your RUU you can just extract it from that

What is RUU? Where do I get it?

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
Hi all,
i would like to know is there a way to extract my default ROM image/radio/kernel from my device & make it into a flashable signed.zip? And would like to know if anyway i could remove some unwanted apk/sense from this signed.zip file?

You could nandroid backup it, extract the image and zip & sign it up.
i know about nandroid but how i extract the image & zip? and how do i sign it? is there any tut that i can follow & learn?
.img file is a zip file (more or less). Use 7zip for that.

You could use dxisida's android kitchen to do all tasks, you put the system.img and boot.img in the 'original' folder and then make it a update.zip rom through the kitchen.
thanks all~! once my xtc clip arrived will try to do it. still waiting T_T...

It's a bit late to ask but did you get any clues to extract the radio.img. ?
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
