[HOWTO] HTC Explorer - Install RUU

Reason for this guide:
I have tried to go back to RUU and doing this with the RUU applications didn't work, the installation always failed. Because of that I was a bit afraid never to be able to get back to stock / RUU again
steps I did - i'm not sure if step 2 and 3 are necessary, but for me it worked like this
!!!DO NOT RELOCK the bootloader before Step 4 - this will brick your phone!!!
1. download RUU for your device here (check your radio at top the bootloader menu)
2. extract the RUU rom from RUU application
start the ruu application, even if it fails. also start the flashing process, nothing will happen here. search for the ruu logs, for me at c:\ruu_log. in the log (for me in line 191) is the path to the rom.zip that should get flashed. something in temp folder... for me the line looks like this:
"<T093343><DEBUG><CMD>fastboot -s HT1BMVMXYZ flash zip C:\users\raangu\AppData\Local\Temp\{1235}\{12345}\rom.zip</CMD></DEBUG></T093343>"
3. flash the needed images
in the rom.zip you will find a boot_signed.img, a system.img and a recovery_signed.img. flash all these images with fastboot.
In command line:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
4. relock the bootloader
In command line:
fastboot oem lock
5. install with RUU application
now run the RUU application again and follow the instructions.
You are back on RUU now!

Thankyou

"3. flash the needed images

fastboot flash system system.img

can u explain better this part...?? what does it mean "flash all these images with fastboot..??
P.S: i don't have any ROM.ZP file in my local\temp\ directory......only an empty directory....

What is your DeviceID?
I've the vodafone brand and the DevideID is "VODAP034".
I tried this guide to change ID but not work:

Any ideas?

Thank you Raangu and jaggyjags for doing awesome job here.
I've questions regarding to RUU, if I want to flash RUU other then my device's Radio version or flash older RUU then my device's stock Rom,
will these brick my phone?

Hi agv983,
with "flash all these images with fastboot" I mean the lines below:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
so you dont flash these things with cwm or something else. you do it with fastboot in command line.
did you take a look in the ruu_log? the path is written there.

try this instead
1. Download the RUU.
2. Open the RUU exe file, and proceed until you get to the page which says 'View Readme'. At that point, stop.
3. Go to your TEMP folder (on Windows 7 it'll be something like : C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp
4. Look for folders that have lots of characters in that format: "{XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX}". One of the folders will contain two files, and another folder with the same "{XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX}" format. Open that folder.
5. In there, you will see either rom.zip or firmware.zip (depending on the device).

It says when trying to flash system.img,, date length too large
help me please

help me please

i don't understand this step
---- 2. extract the RUU rom from RUU application----
where i can find the RUU application??
PS: my phone is: HTC EXPLORER with jaggyrom, and i'd return to my stock rom.
i've downloaded my stock rom following this discussion--- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569430
because your download link page wasn't running to me, but i think that roms are the same.
thnx

A total successful unrooting and reverting to stock
Warning dont flash any other rom before this step in order to retain factory status you have to maintain the default rom on which rooting was done
for those who want to revert to stock from jaggy or any other make a clockwork backup of your stock rom even if it is rooted
Step 1 : if you have messed up in previous posts by our friend dont be alarmed
make sure you have clockwork mod of your original rom backed up in sd card or in the computer copied from sd card
to do this go to the recovery option choose backup and restore in this select restore and select the backup you did with your stock rom
Step 2 : download these files ( also noted in my system the android sdk was in c drive root as c:\Android else make a fresh installation of the android sdk ) GIVEN BELOW AT THE END OF POST
Step 3 : on c drive paste these files in c:\Android ( if file not there in pc install sdk in this folder ) now open cmd from start menu
Step 4 : Execute commands
cd c:\Android
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
(fastbooting system .img mentioned in previous post is not required as it will conflict with the hboot and it too tiresome to get the sock back)
Final step : now with the stock boot and recovery of htc default signed just restart your cell phone and got to settings > storage >factory reset
Ta da your phone is unrooted now for the grand finale lock the HBOOT
execute command : fastboot oem lock
to lock the boot loader
now it will show relocked now at this stage if you got your factory default ruu matched with the software version of your phone in my case it was
V1.31.728.1
then flash that ruu and vola your phone is crystal clear no hboot relocked or no rooting ever shown.
Try it and press thanks if liked

I dont get this, sorry...
I have stock scandinavian rom on my Explorer, and I want to flash an european rom instead.
Ive go the European RUU, but for gods sake I cant get it installed...
I dont want to brick my girlfriends phone, its 1 month old, and I dont want to fiddle with too much.
Is there any way to simply flash the RUU with the bootloader?

Help with stuck at logo screen isue

I had root my phone.
Download ROM Manager from menu.
Put "MIUI-v4-Saga-2.5.4-RD_Edition.zip" to root of 8GB MicroSD card.
Choose update from zip and choose "MIUI-v4-Saga-2.5.4-RD_Edition.zip" for update to custom rom.
But now i at the ANDROID screen.
Please help.
BYW i can't run clockwork mode as i run it from ROM Manager.

hi there
one question are you s-on or s-off

1. you need to backup the working system first
2. You need to do a full wipe before flashing a new ROM
3. If you are unlocked with htcdev you need to extract the boot.img of your desired ROM and flash it manually after flashing the ROM
4. If things above didn't help you please post all informations from bootloader (hboot etc..)
Sent by my fingers to your head.

hi again
right first of all:
Hboot version
S-on or S-off
If S-On and Hboot 2.00.0002 then make sure you flash your recovery
after installing your custom rom from recovery dont reboot, make sure you have the boot.img from the rom your going to use.
Put it into the directory of your fastboot (e.g c:\android-tools\) and then go into bootloader, select fastoot.
Bring up command prompt and enter "cd c:\android-tools\" press enter (or "cd" and where ever your fastboot is) then input ("fastboot flash boot boot.img") if done correctly yhe boot.img is flashed (note do this after you have intalled your rom) then reboot
if your S-off and flashed your recovery im not sure whats the problem, ill need more information

[Q] Boot loop after failed boot.img replacement

Edit: solution to the problem in post #4
I have accidentally replaced my boot.img with fastboot - now the phone is stuck in a boot loop/freeze
the bootloader is unlocked
it is S-ON
it is an unlocked (not branded phone)
running twrp 2.6.0.0
both adb and fastboot appear to work
the phone is not rooted (that was where the problem started...)
I have access to hboot and recovery, but that is it​
I have erased everything (cache, system, dalvik, sd) several times and tried a number of suggestions found on other threads describing similar problems.
I can't get access to the SD card from a PC, and fastboot flash or adb push both fail to transfer a stock RUU (JmzM4StockRootedDeOdex-WWE-1.22.401.1.zip) to the phone.
I have replace the kernel (and flashed the appropriate boot.img with it) to get out of the boot loop.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated! gettting desperate now...
Thanks, K

excellent - thanks, pm sent

Here is the solution to the above problem, no guarantees – just thought I share it here if anyone else is in the same predicament… I was walked through this by nelvinchi - many thanks for that !!!!
(n.b. I can't post urls yet as I am a noobie here, so that you will need to find the required files in the forum somewhere - maybe someone can leave links to the appropriate files in a post below)
Required files:
1. ABD (get the smaller version from the forum)
-> download this and extract to a folder called c:\adb\
2. Updated Super SU "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip"
3. Rom (Stock2.12.401.1Deodex(tr1gg3r84).zip)
-> SuperSU and Rom, into the same folder as above (c:\adb\)
(4. TeamWinRecoveryProject recovery, here version 2.6.0.0)​
Procedure:
[NB.: I had access to bootloader (unlocked) & recovery (twrp 2.6.0.0); the phone was S-ON]
Open a command prompt from the folder (shift+right click somewhere in the window and choose “open command window here”, or WIN+R and enter cmd and press enter and navigate to the folder where the files and adb are located)
Boot phone to recovery
Go to the mount menu, check system and data [data was not selectable, thus I had to: Go to wipe menu, Format data, Type yes, after that reboot to recovery, and mount menu, check system and data…]
Back to main menu
Plug your phone into computer (mine was plugged in all along, so no worries)
In the cmd prompt (on PC) type: adb devices [phone should be found and indicated by the serial number and the status, in this case it should say recovery after the number – proceed if phone is found]
Type: adb push Stock2.12.401.1Deodex(tr1gg3r84).zip /sdcard/
[there is no indication of progress when pushing, just be patient – it will take a few minutes. And, just in case – if you need to interrupt/cancel the push process it can be done with Ctrl+c]
Type: adb push UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip /sdcard/
On the phone, in recovery, Go to install
Choose the NEW rom (Stock2.12.401.1Deodex(tr1gg3r84).zip)
Choose add more zips and add the SuperSU zip
Confirm flash
When done, DON'T reboot, go back, reboot menu, reboot recovery
On the PC, open the ROM zip, and extract boot.img to the folder (c:\adb\) [this will need you to have 7zip or Winrar or similar installed on your computer]
Reboot menu and select Reboot bootloader
Select fastboot (fastboot should be indicated by fastboot USB)
On the PC type fastboot flash boot boot.img
Choose bootloader, then recovery
In recovery: Go to wipe, Advanced wipe, Check cache and dalvik, and wipe!
Go to Reboot menu, and Reboot system
Now, don't panic – it will take some time to do its thing… the phone should be fine after that and normal setup process should start.
!!! Massive thanks to nelvinchi, who walked me through this process!!!

I'm having the same problem.
I've followed those instructions over and over with different roms but TWRP always tells me that there is no OS installed when I do the final reboot. I am stuck at the white HTC screen and can't get any rom to load up. Please help.
This is what my bootloader says:

I can flash recoveries and boot.img. ADB works to push roms into /sdcard/, can also sideload. I'm suspecting my filesystem/ partition data is all screwed but but can't figure out why Roms won't load.
I got the phone yesterday and it was untouched, stock. I tried to follow this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789272) to get it rooted and install a custom rom. I got stuck at getting S-OFF. rumrunner was giving me the "Fatal: download latest package" error. I also could not get su in the shell to try firewater. At this point I was reading that people had luck getting S-OFF after installing JmzM4StockRootedOdex-WWE-1.22.401.1 custom rom and kernel. I tried to do that but I wasn't sure what I was doing and ended up with no OS and a bootloop at the white HTC screen. I have a bit of Android experience from messing with the HP touchpad tablet but I'm rusty and this phone has me beat right now.
Thanks for your help.

...
try replacing TWRP with an older version (mine was 2.6.0.0) and reset/clear/delete/format everything from there and restart the process outlined above
and apparently S-Off is pointless and very risky on this model, there is no reason to do it - it will just cause problems
good luck and I hope some else who has actual knowledge about this will get back to you

Thanks.. I've been using TWRP 2.7.1.0 because I read that I have the newer partion scheme with HBOOT 2.22 but I'm not really sure.
When I try TWRP 2.7.1.1 ADB doesn't work and I get a different /sdcard/ than in 2.7.1.0. Not sure what's going on there either.
The only reason I tried S-off is because I blindly followed that guide on how to get the HTC one mini up to date and that was the 2nd step. I should have skipped it and paid more attention to the custom rom flashing aspect.
I'll try TWRP 2.6.0.0 as I don't have many other options at this point.. I also tried to use CWM recovery but it couldnt flash a rom either.
Thanks for your input.

Updated my phone from Gingerbread to Kitkat now stuck on loading screen!?

Hi I had a struggle yesterday because I know nothing about phones so I followed a guide to updating your phone, so I did it through bootloader/recovery and after installing the custom RUU it actually worked, but after loading up on the screen it shows instructions and shows that it's loading the page/phone and i thought maybe it was but it's been like that overnight so is there anyway around this? (I can get on the power off menu with restart etc but thats about it I cant x off the instructions or anything telling me the updates to the phone)

We need more info.
What guide you follow?
Bootloader info?
Hboot?
HTCDev unlock S-ON or revolutionary S-OFF?
What recovery you use?
Did you wiped all except sd?or just installed zip from sd card?
And what RUU you used(post link)?

don't think i can post links as i'm new but i used a guide off this forum called [Guide] How to root, install EXT4 recovery and custom ROM on HBOOT 2.00.0002 and the custom ROM I used is off this site too the title of the thread is called [ROM] [02-06] Primo-S - v4.1 [HTC One V port] Android 4.0.3 [Kernel 3.0]

I just read about [ROM] [02-06] Primo-S - v4.1 [HTC One V port] Android 4.0.3 [Kernel 3.0] and it works fine on HTC Desire S.
First of all it's rom not RUU. if you want to know difference read tutorials and guides here.
You have HTCDev unlocked bootloader and installed 4ext recovery.My recommendation is to flash new 4ext recovery first(touch one) that I uploaded.
Check MD5 : ADA2A56547EF258638AF94445744583B
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
of that zip file.
To do this follow step 3. in [Guide] How to root, install EXT4 recovery and custom ROM on HBOOT 2.00.0002 just use recovery.img from attachment down here.
And now for your problem.From what I know this is common problem on S-ON HTCDev unlocked phones.
After flashing new rom you have to flash boot.img from fastboot.
First open your PrimoS-v4.1.zip then you will see file boot.img.Extract it to C:\android-tools.Get in boot by holding power button and volume down together.Connect USB and enter fastboot. (fastboot usb)
Go to start->run-> type cmd and press enter. A command prompt will now appear.
(just like step 4 in guide)
Type:
Code:
cd c:\android-tools [press enter]
fastboot devices [press enter]
this show if your phone is connected to computer
if you get nothing you are not connetced
if you get some info like ST9212IJKL then you type
fastboot flash boot boot.img [press enter]
you will see blue loading form in right upper corner of screen
very fast but that mean you flashed boot
When all this done reboot phone and you should get your rom started.Sometimes it takes up to 10min but no more then that.
If you don't get in like this then you have to go to recovery and wipe all except sd and flash rom again and follow step 4 in guide.
Try this then tell what you got.Good luck.

I just read about [ROM] [02-06] Primo-S - v4.1 [HTC One V port] Android 4.0.3 [Kernel 3.0] and it works fine on HTC Desire S.
First of all it's rom not RUU. if you want to know difference read tutorials and guides here.
You have HTCDev unlocked bootloader and installed 4ext recovery.My recommendation is to flash new 4ext recovery first(touch one) that I uploaded.
of that zip file.
To do this follow step 3. in [Guide] How to root, install EXT4 recovery and custom ROM on HBOOT 2.00.0002 just use recovery.img from attachment down here.
And now for your problem.From what I know this is common problem on S-ON HTCDev unlocked phones.
After flashing new rom you have to flash boot.img from fastboot.
First open your PrimoS-v4.1.zip then you will see file boot.img.Extract it to C:\android-tools.Get in boot by holding power button and volume down together.Connect USB and enter fastboot. (fastboot usb)
Go to start->run-> type cmd and press enter. A command prompt will now appear.
(just like step 4 in guide)
Type:
Code:
cd c:\android-tools [press enter]
fastboot devices [press enter]

Hi thanks for the reply I did a few things earlier just messing about on recovery mode and it's sorted and it didn't even wipe my phone I still have all my contacts and stuff maybe they were saved on my sd card idk but yh works perfectly now cheers for your time and help.

Hi,
I had the same problem at the beginning as I was unlocked the bootloader with HTCDEV.
If you unlocked the bootloader with HTCDEV, you should flash the boot.img manually with fastboot to get it fixed.
1). Switch off the phone and trun it on to bootloader and go to the fastboot
2). Connect the device to the pc and connect it with fastboot (CMD)
3). extract the custom firmware (.zip) file and find the boot.img file
4). copy it to the location where your fastboot.exe located at (ex: C:\sdk\platform-tools\)
then flash it with
HTML:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Hope this help you
Regards..

In my opinion the easiest way to fix your issue is doing a complete reflash of your device with the RUU.
Presuming you already got the S-OFF:
1) Backup your current data if you need it.
2) Download the 4.05.401.1 RUU (it already has HBOOT 2.16 and Radio 1.20);
3) Change your CID to HTC__001 (fastboot oem writecid HTC__001);
4) Lock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock);
5) Extract and run the RUU (It may take much time to start, so don't worry if it doesn't appear immediately);
6) Unlock the bootloader (fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin); - You may need to get from HTC a new Unlock code.
7) Download and flash the TWRP 2.7.1.2 Unofficial for HBOOT 2.16 via fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img);
8) Push via ADB (if it gives you read-only error on recovery try to do it with system started and USB debug enabled of course) your custom ROM and flash it via recovery (adb push yourrom.zip /sdcard/yourrom.zip).
I hope this helped you.

You have too flash the latest ruu
