Removing revolutionary

Does anyone know how to remove revolutionary and revert back to stock. Im running a HTC Senation xe? I get error code error 155 unknown error. Using the RUU

You mean the hboot? I would try to zip
Code:
hboot_8x60_1.18.0000_20110802_signedbyaa.nb0
android-info.txt
from
Code:
RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed
Rename the package to
Code:
PG58IMG.zip
and copy it into your storagecard root. Enter the bootloader. Follow the on screen instructions.
In case this won't work, change your CID to SuperCID or edit android-info.txt to allow your CID (but I guess you're on XE so CID shouldn't be a problem)

So what your saying is if the RUU.exe file doesnt work. rename it to PG58IMG.zip and put it on the sd card?

Ach, no, no. You need to extract the exe file.
The easiest method to do this is to run the exe and don't click "next" or whatever the installer is saying. Just keep the installer open and search your C:\ drive for rom.zip.
Extract the file as you would do with a normal archive.
Now you need to zip only this two files:
Code:
hboot_8x60_1.18.0000_20110802_signedbyaa.nb0
android-info.txt
Name the archive PG58IMG.zip

I cant seem to figure out how to do the first bit. Extracting the RUU from the exe archive?

I'll try to be a little more detailed
So when you start the installation RUU the program itself creates temporary files on your computer. One of those files is rom.zip. The problem is that the directory is generated randomly.
It's something like that:
Code:
C:\Users\localhost\AppData\Local\Temp\{88F1C5DF-C107-4939-9651-18615BAD254B}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}\rom.zip
(for Windows 7 and user name "localhost")
The problem is that the installation app removes those temporary files if you successfully flash the firmware, cancel the update or terminate the process. So I suggest that you run the exe and search the whole C:\ drive for a file called rom.zip. It contains the files you need to extract. It's not possible to extract the exe in any other method as far as I know.

maybe Im doing something wrong but I cant find the rom.zip file. Im running windows vista.

Try this:
Start the RUU exe file. When the Update program appears click on "View ReadMe".
If you got Office installed Word should popup.
Click on "File -> Save As" (or something similar on your PC). Check the directory on top. Please find attached the screenshot with shows where to find the path to rom.zip.

only supercid if you want to unbrand the device. an xe doesnt need it
you can check your cid and chose your correct rom. (in terminal use fastboot getvar cid command).

downloadlink: PG88IMG_based_on_RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1.zip
just rename it to "RG88IMG.zip" and put it on the root of your sd card.
then reboot into fastboot mode (bootloader) and the rest will be done automaticly.
you can extract that zip file to modify the system image to get root e.g.
search the forums to get it out how.

Thanks for the reply but that's only radio and I need ROM a full install from sdcard And also does not need to do s-off

OP says you need pg88img.
That's not a ROM
Which ROM do you need? didn't searching the forum solve you're problem?
You have to state clearly what you want or need

Whatever may be the reason that you need this (?) here is how to get it yourself:
Download RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release from the sticky Stock ROMs thread.
Run the RUU on your PC.
On the first screen (do not press anything when it starts) open your Windows Explorer, browse to the C: drive and in the search field type rom.zip.
Wait for the search to complete and copy the rom.zip file to another loacation.
Close the RUU setup.
Rename the rom.zip (this is exactly what are you looking for) to PG88IMG.zip and copy to SDCard.

Yeah you are thinking about the rom.zip of the RUU which is renamed to that. So follow what amidabuddha said!

Thank you very much this is exactly what i look for.
thanks for all

[Q] Error message in DDMS, what is causing this?

Howdy!
Did someone know what is causing that error when we try to use Dalvik Debug Monitor Server (ddms.bat) in tools folder of SDK?
Code:
03:51:10 E/adb: Failed to get the adb version: Cannot run program "C:\ANDROI~1\platform-tools\adb":
CreateProcess error=2, No such file
Also in recovery mode, if I try to take screenshot the image is always distorted? (see attachment)

Is adb located in your <sdk>/tools directory? If no, then copy it from <sdk>/platform_tools to <sdk>/tools and retry. DDMS is working fine for me.

Yep! It's there, have a look at the attachment.

Ok, how about <sdk>/platform-tools? Looking at your error, ddms is searching for adb in it's new location which is in <sdk>/platform-tools...
I know adb no longer comes in the /tools directory, so I'm assuming you either cut or copied it. If you moved it to /platform-tools then just make a copy and put it back there. Sorry, I didn't look close at your error before. As far as the recovery screen shot goes, contact madmaxx82 with a bug report...
Off the topic... Looking at your signature, and wondering why you're running hboot 1.23 with ICS??

[Q] Remove root and tampered banner to return

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

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
