[Q] Bell RUU help

so i got the ruu. my question now is can i just flash it as is? like on my desire i just clicked the exe and followed the instructions...i never debranded my phone...so would just running this bring me back to square 1 with no s-off or root?

you need to be superCID to run the EU RUU, im using TMOUS and wanted to flash this new 1.45 then do revo etc again for rom improvements
as it stands, there are no NA ruu's avail, but will be in due time
EDIT* yes, it will remoce root/s-off etc, will restore to stock

awesome thx..imma reflash stock, and follow the entire procedure from the guide. thx alot...and it is kinda wierd how alotta places dont have there ruu's yet. i just found my bell version by accident on another site which was mentioned in the ruu forum

really? an RUU for canada BEFORE u.s.? thats kinda shocking, must be a leak of the OTA ripped from sd after dl...
best of luck on the restore

[Q] Help me Update to TMO-US ICS (please!)

Hi.
So I am T-Mobile US. I am running GB with ROOT.
I want to update to ICS update which just came out.
I can't do OTA since it won't let me (since i am rooted?).
I went ahead and downloaded this official one from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654347
Now here is my Q:
Should I just flash this ROM after putting it in my SD Card?
Should I wipe? Or can I keep all the data (which I prefer)?
Thanks a million!

You can't just flash that. You'll need the 3.32 firmware, preferably the T-Mobile version.

IF you want to do OTA update...you need to make sure your recovery, CID, and your current software is the one that's supported by T-mobile OTA. Not sure if you are running a custom GB or a stock one. But basically, if you're on stock but you just rooted it...it's fine to have it rooted...in fact you want to have it rooted and S-off before doing the update
Read this http://www.htcsensationforum.com/ht...to-downgrade-upgrade-gb-lt-gt-ics-a-tutorial/
There are also several post about it here. But bascially you need the software version that's supported by T-mobile for the update (they list those in their update info). So either you run a RUU to bring you to the stock version of these software...including stock recovery...and also change your CID back to T-mobile one...TMOB010 I think..but just double check.
IF all you've change is root and CID...then you just flash the stock recovery that's for the version of the stock software you have now and change the CID back to t-mobile..then it should work.
I had trouble initially but turns out the recovery file I had was probably not the correct version so it kept aborting. Worked fine after I flashed the right recovery.

Wow thanks for your time. Too many things i here i don't even know what they mean. I guess I will just pass and stick to my GB. Safe way.
Thanks a lot

all you have to do is flash this file from recovery. it could not be any simpler. http://www.4shared.com/zip/34Y1RPQf/Sensation_33253114.html
you will lose some things like your settings but you will keep all your backed up apps and contacts.

[Q] RUU on an un-rooted phone

Hi all,
I'm with an unbranded EU phone which already been updated to 1.78.
I'm still suffering from several network issues which make this phone a great screen and CPU unit but with limited and frustrating network capabilities.
I was advised by HTC to send my unit back to a software repair (they agreed the hardware is not an issue) in the Greece lab.
I already did several factory resets with no help.
I thought that running RUU of 1.53 and then w/o any software installation and w/o SIM run the OTA to 1.78.
Is it wise?
Is it possible?
Thanks!

You can only run an RUU and/or and OTA after you've returned the phone to stock, i.e. use a custom recovery to flash an image of the stock ROM (1.53 or 1.78, it doesn't really matter but I guess you want the 1.53), then use fastboot to flash a stock recovery and then you may also need to relock the bootloader.
After this process you can either run an RUU on it or just do the OTA, both methods will be fine and the phone will no loger say TAMPERED but it will say RELOCKED so it will not be 100% as it left the factory in terms of warranty and as of now there is no way to get around that.

you dont need stock recovery, Just relocked bootloader and a stock ROM.. Stock as in NOT MIUI or CM9,,, more like a HTC ROM ...

Umm.. didn't work for me until I also flashed stock recovery... Plus, if he's sending it back to a service centre I guess it's a good idea to have it as close to stock as possible. Just my opinion, anyway...
EDIT: Well, I guess the RUU and/or OTA will overwrite the recovey anyway...

yeah i always thought we needed stock recovery, but i flashed the new Vodafone UK RUU the other day over CWM and it worked
But yes, it overwrites the recovery anyway so i guess it doesnt matter which way you do it

Guys,
Thanks a lot - I might didn't put enough details:
I'm on stock, never rooted that phone or opened it via HTCDev.
It's as if it was just bought from store and OTA to EU 1.78.
I wish to stay unrooted and w/o HTCDev intervention.
I'm still interested in going back to 1.53 (via RUU probably) and then redoing the OTA to 1.78 w/o SIM so it might result in better situation than I'm currently, network wise...
What do you say, can I run RUU on unrooted untouched new phone?

yes you sure can !!!

You dont need stock rom, i flashed ruu 1.78 over custom rom, with stock recovery / bootloader relock. it was a sense based rom, perhaps it wont work over a aosp rom

I know I don't need, yet I'm still with the original stock ROM as if I just got out of MobileZon store (5 weeks old phone)...
Thanks!

I tried running the 1.53.401 Europe RUU with no success as I got error 140 - incorrect Bootloader.
where do I check my bootloader?

you cant downgrade with RUU only upgrade
unless you have S-OFF thats why you get the error

Thanks.
So all I can do now is wait for the next OTA and hope for good?

what radio do you currently have ? 0.16 is the latest
if you have a older radio there is a guide on how to upgrade it. There are also newer RUU's being released with the new radio included. Thats how i got mine, cause the OTA didnt work for me

I've already updated OTA 1.78 so I also got the 0.16 radio - is there any newer one?
Also, will I be able to update RUU 1.78 on my already 1.78 phone?

I didn't but you might try running the RUU while the phone is in fastboot status.
I'm not sure if the RUU will be able to get the phones data to block you from downgrading...

Can't Get Back To Unrooted Stock No Matter What I Try

Last week I went back to stock to familiarize myself with the process (which unfortunately brought my HBoot to 1.14). I also decided to try out TWRP when I rooted again. But before I could finish up I hit a button in TWRP that didn't need any confirmation. I don't remember which button because it did what it did quicker than I could notice. After that I couldn't even flash a ROM because I couldn't mount the sd card and whatever happened erased everything on my phone but I ended up figuring that out.Now I'm on ViperOneS but I can't unroot. I can't flash either of the RUU (Error 155) that are for T-Mobile US I even changed my CID to 11111111 but no dice(and yes I did flash the stock recovery and boot before relocking). The only thing I can do to get close to unrooted stock is flash the nandroid of a rooted stock ROM. Now I haven't mentioned every method I've tried, so before I start getting bashed for not searching, I want to mention that I've been at this for about 4 days and I have tried EVERYTHING that I've found on XDA and other forums but nothings worked. Is it my HBoot that prevents from doing anything? Should get another One S? Or should I just be thankful that I have a functioning phone?
Sorry for the long winded post but I wanted to make sure I put in as much detail as possible.

It's most likely your hboot that prevents the RUU's from working. You can only use a RUU that contain a hboot of 1.14 or higher.
Since your signature says HBoot: 1.14 & Radio: 1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04L. I assume you updated via the T-mobile US OTA, is that correct?
What's interesting is that other hboots in the 1.14 family are listed as 1.14.0002 but the T-mobile OTA the hboot is labeled 1.14.0004. I haven't seen anyone state if this is will prevent "downgrading" to 1.14.002 and don't feel like finding out myself.

Yeah it was the T-Mobile OTA, worst decision ever... I've tried both the 1.84 and 1.53 T-Mo RRU's multiple times and since I changed my CID I've thought of trying another carriers but I don't want to possibly make things worse.

I feel your pain. I updated with the OTA that moved us to hboot 1.13 before anyone said they changed the security :crying:.
The 1.84 and 1.53 RUU's wouldn't work for sure. 1.84 has the 1.13 hboot and 1.53 has the 1.09 hboot. Your only hope of using an RUU at this time is one of the Europe RUU's. The good news is that you already moved to supercid so you got that out of the way.
The ones that might work are the ones labeled "RUU_Ville_U_ICE_40_S_Europe_2.xxxxxx"
Here you can get the 2.21 RUU I can't recall if it's the 4.0.4 based one though. Not really sure where to get the other ones as file factory changed their download rules.

You might need to click the "mainver error fix" on the on the All-in-one tool kit to get them to work since you would be downgrading the rom.
And if you do use that RUU from mediafire you can go here and click the thanks button for SneakyGhost for putting up the RUU for you to download.

I've downgraded from 2.31 to 2.21, I know both have HBOOT 1.14 but not exactly sure if they have the exact identical numbers after the 1.14.

One last thing I did after installing that RUU was edit the build.prop to match some lines from the T-Mobile one:
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=24
ro.ril.hsupa.category=6
ro.ril.hsxpa=4
ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=2
ro.ril.radio.svn=1
Make sure those match, these have given me the fastest DL speeds.

I'm honestly not to sure on how to fix this. I've searched it before I went back to stock (going back to stock is a definite fix) and couldn't find much on it. I'm sure something has developed from it by now though. Actually :: navigates to another tab:: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900644 if it's compatible with your ROM, this kernel claims to have a fix for wifi and sound (I don't know what the sound issue is all about) but try that, it might work. But most importantly search, read, search and read some more, especially since you're new to this, I've rooted many phones and I still had problems with the One S. Good luck!

[Q] Reinstalling stock ICS

I Dev_unlocked my sensation and installed the 1010 nightly of CM10 using 4ext. Worked swimmingly (with the exception of BT volume). Did the the OTA for the 1024 nightly. Killed my camera. I have wiped, formatted, flashed other JBs and ICSs, even the 1010 CM10, flashed 4.2 camera. I give up on trying to get the camera working. So I want to install the stock ICS that was on my phone. No, I did not do a Nandroid backup. (Lesson learned)
I know some of you are laughing about the Nandroid, I understand. But I think I have something almost as good, another Sensation! Is there an easy way to flash it over, or do I need to unlock (which I would hope to avoid doing), do a Nandroid from that , and then flash that in? In the end, all I want to do is put the phone the way it was for warranty repair.
Thank you in advance for any and all help.
Also, since I am on Cincinnati Bell, is a CID or RUU needed?

You could try Android revolution HD. That's the nearest to a stock rom. Or if you really want to go back to complete stock, then you need to relock your bootloader, then flash the appropriate ruu. For that, see HERE

Yes I have. It's got a different skin because of it being with Cincinnati Bell Wireless, well, at least it has a Cincinnati Bell logo during the boot. The CID is HTC__017, which isn't on any list I have seen. That is also why I was asking about a RUU from my wife's phone if it was needed.
