Anyone tried this yet? I know the boot loader is locked. But since rogers from is official as well. That should work right? Any one has directions on how to do it?
Just run the exe? Any Mac versions?
Please don't post in the development section with this kind of stuff. Thread moved.
In answer to your question, no it won't work. Model numbers between at&t and rogers differ slightly and the ruu looks for model id to verify that it is right to flash. This is by design and is good so that some moron can't flash a vivid RUU on a HOX or flash int'l ruu on an at&t

Thanks. I am a noob when it comes to htc. For xperia s. We can load other similar roms with no root or bootloadet unlock. So the only way to load rogers onto att is to wait for bootloader unlock then? Can anyone verify this?

So only way is bootloader unlocked and then flash with official rogers rom if you are on att? So thats why everyone is all pissed about att version not having bootloader unlocked. Thanks for your info.

Are the bootloaders between Rogers and AT&T different? I know that when you try to unlock the bootloader, it gives you a string of numbers that you enter prior to unlocking the bootloader. If the bootloaders are the same, then theoretically us AT&T users ought to be able to use a string of numbers from a Rogers phone just to make the tool happy. Right?

I dont want custon rom just yet, Just rogers official rom to work on att . Do i still need cwm? No one has tried putting the rogers zip file in the root and update that way?.. You can download all the official rom from the development section. Iatt is in exe and rogers is in zip file...

you're spinnin your wheels here mate.
i KNOW how it works with RUUs and the zip files they produce....i have been around for at least a few months with a few HTC devices.....
JUST having root DOES NOT mean that you can miraculously flash any file you want
unlocking the bootloader would allow you to modify the rom zip that is produced by the RUU and fastboot flash it, but you will not be able to flash the radio that comes with it, essentially all you could flash is /system and /boot
you dont think that every possibility was attempted while working on the Vivid? this aint my first rodeo.....

These RUU files are funny. Way back in WM days, with the HP 6315 (htc built) I was the guy that hex edited the RUU executable to bypass the model check. I had/have VERY little programming experience but it only took me a few hours to figure it out. I wonder if this method is still feasible..........

have a crack at it, but the zip file actually contains the signature and the model check, not the exe.
if you can modify the zip file without changing the signature, then by all means, please do....
or someone could just unlock the bootloader and it wouldnt matter if the zip is signed or not, just need to edit the checks and remove the hboot, recovery, radio, adsp, etc from the zip
That would be cool. I came from sony and samsung and this is my first time with HTC. So thanks for all these info. A great help with people who just want to use stock roms from other carrier.

after unlocking bootloader, and getting a recovery installed, you can run stock rom from any other carrier, just from a CWM version
I like having several stock rooted roms in CWM format, so I tend to knock em out as soon as I can....and get them into your hands

My skills are rusty. But back when I was dealing with the WM RUU I bypassed both the model check and also the CRC check right in the executable. Granted these security measures have come a LONG way since then, but sometimes people overlook the obvious, you know?
If the phone gets S-OFF you can set SuperCID and flash away.

I've read previous threads that instruct to search for rom.zip in the temp folder. I have found the rom.zip but it does not flash using CWM. How do I get the rom which I can flash through CWM?
You don't flash it through cwm, you rename it accordingly (PHxxIMG.zip) based on your phone model and flash it through HBOOT.

Okay. I do recall my phone searching for similarly named images when I booted the phone to recovery. How exactly am I supposed to flash them after renaming and placing them in the root of my SD Card?
Also, do normal regional restrictions still apply to this process? (Will it bail if I try flashing the phxximg.zip of a European RUU on a asian phone?)
Thanks a lot.
Don't know about the regional restrictions. To flash it you just put the renamed zip in the root of your SD card and reboot into bootloader. It'll scan for the file and ask you to press some key if you want to flash the update. That's it.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Regional restrictions apply unless you have changed your CID to allow for flashing of other regions ROMs. This is called "SuperCID". I'm not sure which HTC phone you have otherwise I'd link you to how to get it on your phone, but it's a simple google search "SuperCID *phone name*"
When you have SuperCID, it allows the flashing of any ROM by any carrier so if you intend on doing an Asian ROM on a Euro phone, check and make sure the hardware is the same, otherwise you'll bork something.
Example: if you flashed a CDMA EVO 3D ROM on a GSM EVO 3D, you'd likely lose your data, signal at least, given that the CDMA and GSM 3D's have different radios. You'd probably lose even more but the data and signal at least are for sure.

Exactly, just got an incorrect CID error. I'm trying to do this on HTC One V. The bootloader is unlocked. Can you please link me to the SuperCID for HTC one V? Is it software or hardware?
Also for this process, do I need to have stock recovery or having CWM won't cause any issue?
Moreover, is it okay if the bootloader is unlocked or do I "relock" it?

You'll most likely need to re-lock before flashing the RUU. I haven't heard of a way to get super-cid on the One V yet, but if it's possible you should be able to find it in the HTC One V forums.
Before anyone tries to flame me, I've read all of the recent ICS and JB rom threads, as well as most of the generic question threads. I've unlocked, rooted, and flashed several roms before settling on CleanROM so I am not a complete noob. The master q&a thread doesn't cover RUUs much, and people aren't that interested in applying non rootable RUUs, so info on going back to stock on a newer or even older RUU doesn't seem to be widely available. My biggest concern is bricking my phone or losing major functionality, as some people using asian based roms seem to be having reboot and/or wifi issues.
1. Applying a different carriers S4 JB RUU is perfectly safe as long as I relock the boot loader, even with Super-CID.
I've seen conflicting reports of issues with RUUs when you have Super-CID, even with the original shipping RUU and a relocked boot loader. Can someone confirm that using RUUs is safe as long as the boot loader is relocked? What if it isn't relocked? Just an error or a bricked phone?
2. Once you unlock your phone on 1.14, you are stuck with that radio forever unless you apply an RUU or switch to Cyanogenmod.
3. Assuming RUUs are safe, applying a different carriers' RUU on my AT&T One X won't hurt anything. There may be apn issues, but otherwise everything should work (especially the camera and wifi).
Again, I understand that without root, I may not be able to add apns anyway. AT&T at least seems to have blocked the ability on their stock rom; not sure if other carriers do the same.
I really appreciate the help. I have searched, so this is more of a confirmation than anything else. Just trying to avoid bricking my phone and learn something new at the same time.

Im on hboot 1.14, firmware 2.20 att. Unlocked , rooted , flashed Rom. However , I had some problem then decided go back stock.
1. Downloaded ruu2.20 for att
2. Relock bootloader
3. Boot phone to bootloader mode then run ruu. Now my phone is stock
P/s :
- you don't need to root your phone to add apn . I can add T-Mobile apn just fine after I flashed ruu.
- ruu.exe can't run if you bootloader is unlocked.

Thanks - that answers my RUU questions as far as going back to stock using RUUs. I assume the same applies to other carrier's RUUs, i.e. Telus/Asia. What about using an OTA on a phone with Super-CID?

A factory reset or running the RUU will not change the CID.
SuperCID doesn't prevent you from getting the AT&T OTA (although root and unlocked bootloader will).

Okay, I think that answers my questions. No problems with using a RUU, AT&T or otherwise, as long as it is for the XL. Stuck on my current radio unless I use a RUU. And I need to relock my bootloader before applying a RUU, although I can unlock it after. I will lose root, however. Thanks!
I need the boot.img file for my phone At&t Htc one x with firmware 2.20 please
This is very important to me because my phone doesn't work .
Thank you so much .
If you're not rooted you could look for the 2.20 ruu and reflash it. Or better yet get your phone s-off and not have to worry bout flashing boot img's any more.
What the issue you're having there? When you say it won't boot, what's it doing?

I just got a htc one x and it was supposed to be unlocked, it's not and has viperXL on it so the unlock code is not working. Would this file put me back to 'stock' to unlock my sim?
unlocked bootloader is not the same as unlocked sim, so when you bought it unlocked the seller probably mean't the bootloader.
I was told it would work with tmobile - so i assumed that would of been a sim unlock. guess i was wrong. Either way I know nothing of this type of stuff and just want a working phone. searching posts it seems the sim unlock code will not work if it's not on a 'stock rom' but I dont have a copy of this because i didn't change it. It has viperXL 3.2.5 So if i'm comprehending all of this I need to get a bootloader and go back to a stock rom (?) Sorry this is really all new to me.

it only has to be a sense rom which ViperXL is. there is no end user method to sim unlock without paying for it, so you'd have to buy an unlock code or ask the person you bought it from if he meant sim unlocked or bootloader unlocked.
I did purchase a unlock code and it didn't work. That's when I hound a post about someone saying they had issues when it wasn't on a 'stock' flash. Do you think the viper xl isn't the problem then? Cause if not I'd be more then happy to just leave it on
if you haven't got your unlock code to work you could try a more stockish sense rom like cleanrom
Okay i just bought a brand new ATT HTC One X and out of the box it comes with 4.1.1 and is build 3.18 with the 2.14 hboot.
i have flashed htc phones before and so im not new to it.
HOWEVER! lol
I was looking over the forum (and as confusing as it is with the different versions of the htc one x/xl/s/whatever else ) i believe this is the correct forum.
I am completely stock and those are my build and hboot out of the box. I want to root/unlock BL but so far no luck with any of the exploits.
Anyone here successfully rooted a 3.18 one x? or could i flash an RUU for the 2.20 build? how would i flash without first being rooted/custom recovery?
sorry if seem noob questions, been browsing the forums and google/bing all day and can't find a straight answer.

Unfortunately the answers are no and no. JB is decent even on fully stock AT&T, you will just have to look the other way when scrolling through your app tray
I don't think the current root methods allow for the 3.18 build to gain root. Might be in the 2.20 boat all over again until someone can find a definite procedure.
soooooooooooooooooooooo lame. my rezound had viper rez rom and it was based off one x jb but had all the tweaks and stuff so right now its like a major downgrade lol
guess i'll cry and wait for the HTC One to come out later this month, since i only grabbed the one x cause it was literally 11 cents at walmart with a 14 day return and my rezound is acting up and randomly restarting/tanking battery!
sigh
thanks for the info though Groovy

AT&T version of the One X isn't officially supported by htcdev to unlock boot loader (which is why many needed to change cid). If people who have the AT&T version are s-on, relocked, RUUed to 2.20, and flashed ota, they cannot root/unlock boot loader unless an amazing dev creates an exploit

The AT&T CID is blocked within HTCDev.com. A unique situation, almost certainly directed by AT&T. Therefore, on AT&T version of the One X, you need at least temp root to change the CID, then you can unlock the bootloader.
No root/temp root on AT&T 3.18 = no bootloader unlock. It also means no S-off (since you need root to change the CID).

I suppose it doesn't hurt to try. Otherwise, I'd just take the phone back, if root/S-off, etc. is important to the OP. I assume 11 cents is a subsidized price. So no point in using up an upgrade on a phone that can't be modded, if he wants to get the HTC One when its released.
OP may also check to see if the store has any older stock with 2.20 firmware (or any previous firmware version except 3.18). Phones with 3.18 out of the box must be very new, so I wouldn't be surprised if they had some older stock also.
I returned the one x today. will be looking into the t-mobile version of the HTC One which they told me comes out friday the 22nd. being a new phone i know i wont be able to do any mods or anything for a while, but that won't take long with the awesome Devs we have here! All the other models of the One X were sold out, and im guessing that someone realized that the new firmware was Out of Box so picked em all up. only had 2-3 stores with one each so its possible. now all the new stores have the new firmware no big deal, i'd prefer an HTC DNA anyways, but we'll see what the One is all about.

If you were unlocked before, how did you get on the 3.18 RUU/OTA? Did you change your CID back to AT&T's CID? Or did you S-off.
If you are S-off, no need to unlock the bootloader.

Because it won't run on my pc for some reason.
On another note. If I run it, and the ruu updates the hboot. Can I unlock it again and root like I can now ? The newest Att hboot doesn't have a exploit or anything. That works.
If you update with a locked bootloader you won't be able to unlock it afterwards. What's your end goal here though? There isn't really any benefit to running the at&t software.

I'd like to have my phone carrier unlocked but I need the stock at&t Rom for that. And I'd like to give it to someone who's on at&t network still with a newest stock Rom. And I'd like to keep my unlocked status and s-off . So a Rom extract would be great
If you have s-off you don't need to relock the bootloader to run the RUU. You just run it and your bootloader will remain unlocked, and your s-off status will remain the same. If you really don't want to run the RUU there are tutorials available that will teach you how to extract the ROM, you just need to search (much like anything else on XDA that's all it takes).

I have extracted the Rom from the ruu. But all the tuterials I've found on using ext4explorer or reader or extractor don't work. I don't have Linux so that makes it a little harder , and cygwin doesn't work on my pc for some reason .
I would love to be able to do this but I Dont see what ways I can. And I've been searching Google without luck . :/
Isn't there a stock ROM already on here? I don't see why a CROM would interfere with an unlock code.
You could also run Ubuntu from a CD or a flash drive.

From what I understand all you need is a sense rom custom or stock is fine. Unlock codes seem to just have trouble with AOSP roms. Also you need a linux app to extract the new encrypted zip files inside the ruu exe you can no longer use the older methods and know of no win32 alternative.
