Hi, I want to flash a development RUU, but everytime I try, I get Error [155]. This RUU is supposed to have 1.13.0000 bootloader version, but I don't know how to update from 1.06.0000 and if it may cause the error.
Any suggestion about it? Thanks in advance.
You're talking about ONE S, right?
Right, HTC One S
Well first of all is the chosen RUU compatible with your CID ?? If it isnt it will fail so you need to download one that is compatible, Or change your CID to match the one inside the RUU..
Secondly, If you haver done this and still get the error, Try to run the RUU from fastboot.
Oh and also, RUU requires a LOCKED / RELOCKED bootloader and sometimes stock recovery too !

Yes, I have the same CID that is inside the RUU.
Could you tell me how to run it from fastboot?
I'm trying almost everything I can (locked, relocked, unlocked, stock recovery...), even I'm trying now to update to the latest OTA_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2-1.53.401.2 (now I have 1.53.401.2 from Orange Spain) as it has a firmware update (maybe hboot 1.13.0000?) what I think that can be one of the reasons why I can't flash the rom I need.
Thanks in advance!
boot into bootloader and connect USB cable, Select fastboot and then run the RUU on your PC.
Make sure bootloader is locked BEFORE running the ruu

Yes, it's something I've already tried. Another problem I'm trying to solve is when installing from stock recovery, cause it says sdcart can't be mounted...
What are you trying to install from Stock Recovery ?? you cant flash an RUU and all flashable zip files MUST be signed otherwise it will fail..
I also had the cant mount sd card error in stock recovery, But when i tried CWM i didnt.. Dont know much about how stock recovery works, I just know i dont like it lol
lol, me neither!!!
I'm trying to install a stock rom, so I am supposed to do it from stock recovery, that's the matter. But I can't do it because it can't mount sdcard. I'm getting crazy, but now it is something personal, between the phone and me!!! I'll try to be patient and find the solution.
Stock ROM ?? How have you obtained this ? has someone posted it in a flashable .zip file ? If so, You need to flash it via CWM Recovery THEN flash stock recovery through fastboot.
If the Stock ROM is a Nandroid you will also need to restore this using CWM Recovery. THEN flash stock recovery after.
If the Stock ROM is dissected from an RUU you will need to flash this via bootloader, BUT unless you have a S-OFF phone (which i doubt you do cause there is no S-OFF yet) It wont work.

Ok, it is the third option, and evidently, I'm not S-OFF. I had read a thread where they dissected this zip and I thought it was useful. Now I have found the RUU, I will try to install it. I've changed the zip and relocked it but I'm still finding Error [155]
Its useful if you are S-OFF, You just extract the ROM.zip from the RUU, Rename it to the phones model number, So in our case it would be PG40100.img ( i think) and then flash it in bootloader. However ignore this option as it wont work with a S-ON device...
If you still get the Error 155 message and you're positive you've done everything correctly, Maybe download the same / another RUU, Chances are it could have been a bad / corrupted download It happens to us all !
Ok, finally I solved it. I found original RUUs for HTC_Europe 1.53 and 1.78
Firstly, I changed my CID to HTC__001, extracted recovery.img from 1.53 RUU, flashed it, relocked the bootloader and installed the 1.53 RUU... and it worked!!! After that, nothing special to say installing 1.78 (hboot and radio updated!)

I have done exactly (!!) the same, but you know, I have Hboot in version 2.15. And I can run none of RUUs, because I think they are not compatible with this version of Hboot (And this is that Error 155 for me). Well, so what can I do for installing the Stock RUU to my One S ?
Couple quick question regarding locking the re-locking the bootloader.
First off I have the ATT One X rooted with TWRP Recovery. To go back to stock if I so choose, would I have to reflash the stock recovery then do fastboot oem lock before running the ruu or can i just fastboot oem lock the bootloader without flashing the stock recovery, then run the ruu?
I think I have to reflash the stock recovery first before relocking the bootloader. If that's the case, can someone link to the stock recovery img file?
I also read that if you're currently rooted and has your CID, you can update to 2.20 and root again...is that still the case?
Thanks

You can just fastboot oem lock, the RUU will take care of restoring the original ROM.

If you want to go back to stock just fastboot oem lock then run the RUU. This is what I did. You can then re-unlock the bootloader and install SuperSU to reestablish root. It's pretty easy. Keep in mind, once you go to 2.20 you can not flash boot.img or radios from TWRP. You have to use adb to flash the boot.img, then boot into recovery and flash the ROM.
If you go into the Dev section, one of the first threads covers this and actually has a guide so you wouldn't have had to ask a question.

No, it's the opposite: You can't RUU until you relock. It will fail if you try.

Oh ok...gotcha...so fastboot lock bootloader then run the ruu...great.
Like I mentioned before...I just got a little confused because people on YouTube is also flashing a stock recovery IMG before running the ruu.

RUU will restore your recovery to the stock recovery.
Just keep in mind that once you lock your bootloader you won't be able to boot your phone until you run the RUU. So make sure you're ready to go with the RUU before you fastboot oem lock.
Hey all. Im currently running 1.85 and im trying to update. I downloaded the 2.20 RUU from HTC, as well as the latest Sync Manager and Drivers. I put the phone in Fastboot USB and go to run the RUU. It starts to update but then randomly fails and I have to recover each time. Any idears?

Why on earth would you want to run the 2.20 RUU? It will update the hboot, which plugs the hole by which kernels can be flashed from the recovery. You will need to push the boot.img separately via fastboot every time you flash a ROM (or other alternate methods).
If you just want the stock 2.20 firmware, install the stock pre-rooted 2.20 ROM avaiable from Development. Or a more updated on, since there are stock pre-rooted ROMs available up to 2.42 now. If you want the newer radios, those are posted in Development as well.

Help please. I am running Htc one x 2.20 rooted. I Installed a back up of the factory rom of 2.2.0 and relocked the device to use RUU to get it back to stock and i Followed the Program instructions, but it fails and I don't know if it is because I am running the same version or what I need to get it back to stock. I ended up making it say security warning but when i booted back in to the bootloader the security warning is gone.

I've got an HTC One S [s3]. CID is HTC__622 Asia HK
I have unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery and superSU loaded as well as Rom Manger
Tonight there is an OTA update available. So I want to use it. I downloaded it and
ran command: fastboot oem lock
and tried to run the update. It just keeps booting into my fastboot menu.
I heard that I need to install stock recovery tfor this to work but I don't know where I can find it.
I do have a reovery_signed.img file that I saved from somewhere that is 5,957 kb. Not sure if I flash that if it would give me stock recovery.
Can someone give me a direction to go. I have spent last 12 hours just reading stuff and still don't know what to do.
Htc_asia_hk Stock Recovery File
Does anyone know where I can find the stock recovery file for my One S [S3]
Its Htc_asia_hk the CID is HTC__622 ???
The beginning of the file name should look like this:
RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_HTC_ASIA_HK_

Then run the ota update.

The problem is I didn't take a backup before I unlocked my bootloader and flashed twrp recovery so I don't have a stock recovery to go back to.
The RUU for HTC__044 has a different CID and won't work on my device unless I can extract just the stock recovery from the RUU without having to install it. Is that possible?

What you have to do is
1. Flash stock recovery
2. Lock your bootloader
3. Enter fastboot and run the RUU for your phone
Your phone will then be just as it was when you bought it and then you can run the OTA. Make sure you find the right RUU for your phone. I have been searchiing for one for days and couldnt find it. Hope this helped

THANK YOU!
I have a question.
I already flash 4.1.1 via OTA and use some bloody init.d script for R/W system, that doesnt work and gives me reboot after I enter into supersu app.
My question is... how can i flash 4.1.1 again (i wanna clean system, just for better feeling.) If Im using TWRP recovery? Because, ota file doesnt contain stock recovery as RUU does and I didnt find any ruu for 4.1.1 CID_032 | villec2.
sorry, for my bad english.

Hello guys,
Try this:
Step 1: relock the bootloader (start your phone in fastboot, open cmd, got to folder where are fastboot files, type "fastboot oem lock" )
Step 2: find your desired stock jb or ics online. http://filesdownload.net/showthread.php?70-HTC-One-S-(-RUU_VILLE-)-(-RUU_VILLEC2-)
Step 3: connect your phone to the pc in fastboot (make sure you have the htc drivers installed).
Step 4: run the RUU or stock file as an exe. An installation guide will follow, just follow it through.
Step 5: Now you are in stock ROM
It should work after this!
On my HTC One S [S3] , CID HTC_032 works
splanet.info has something interesting
At least ota is there for htc__622

After I locked my bootloader and tried running the OTA update I tried a few things that didn't work.
But what did work for me was when I unlocked bootloader again
And used Hasoon's Toolkit for One S
and reflashed the recovery file. I used the recovery_signed.img file (5,957 kb) that I had saved from when I was rooting it the first time and renamed it to a one word name per Hasoon's instructions, then flashed it.
Then I relocked bootloader and did a factory reset and ran the OTA update and it worked.
I was lucky that I had that recovery file saved. Still not sure where I got it from. But one thing for sure is that it was hard to find a RUU file for my CID. Hasoon's toolkit does have links to a website with a list of RUUs on it but mine wasn't on the list.
If you want me to email you my signed_recovery.img file send me a pm with your email address and I'll send it.

Hi,
I want to know if in case I want to relock my bootloader, what's the RUU for? and how can I find one for my carrier? I'm with Fido (Canada), I'm s-on, hboot 2.15, rooted and running CarbonRom.

I just went back to stock using the OTA ROGERS JB RUU (I found it online). It was a bit more complicated because the OTA zip doesn't have a RUU utility to flash it. There is a thread that will walk you through the steps; XDA's search is down or I would locate it. It took a bit of time but worked.

If you just want to relock the bootloader you can use fastboot
Code:
fastboot oem lock
But, this is probably not what you want to do, right?
RUU = ROM UPGRADE UTILITY. It's an .exe file that lets you install the stock rom on your phone. The RUU needs to match your hboot (and carrier). Get the RUU here:
http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=Ville
Requirements:
- min 30% battery
- HTC drivers installed (devices is recognized by windows)
- USB debugging enabled
- Charging only mode
Hope this helps.
Thank you guys for that!! Theres something I still dont get, and its if I got the backup of the stock os (I dont really wanna relock the bootloader), I dont need the ruu right? But if I want to install the stock os and relock the bootloader (without using the backup) I do need the ruu, am I right?

Unfortunately I couldn't use the older RUU because they were for ICS (IceCream Sandwich), not JB (JellyBean) and wouldn't install. As I mentioned, it is a few more hoops but the directions are very clear and it worked for me.
Good luck!

Your Stock backup will work (you will also need to fastboot flash the boot.img if you are S-ON) to bring you back to your stock ROM.
RUU does that and a whole lot more that a simple backup can do.
Such as:
HBoot
Returns to stock recovery (which in turn will allow to correct partitions and fix unmountable sdcard)
Radio update
Boot.img
Splash screen
Or you could say it updates: Boot/System/Data/Recovery/Radio

If you run your backup and then relock the bootloader, The bootloader will still say "tampered" I believe. This is because the modified recovery will still be there. You would need to unlock the bootloader and flash stock recovery to remove the "tampered" (i think)
So yeah, theoretically it will be just like running a RUU, if you restore your backup, fastboot flash boot.img, flash stock recovery. (assuming you haven't changed radio or hboot)
