I am looking for a Stock T-Mobile Jelly Bean image that won't brick my phone. I tried searching for one, but I couldn't find anything or I found RUUs for outdated versions of HBoot. I am trying to revert back to stock, but I am sorta scared to do so with an outdated RUU. I have HBoot version 2.15 and Radio version 1.13.50.05.31. Thanks in advance.
Would this be the RUU I have to download? http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...531-10305008l-release-309489-signed-ics-2exe/
I would just prefer a nandroid backup of the stock image that I can just flash with CWM.
I downloaded the RUU, I just need to know if that is the correct one for my phone before I use it. I really don't want a bricked phone. I checked the MD5sum already and it matches, that is the only thing holding me back.

I have ran that RUU with the same hboot and radio as you. Why do you think it would brick your phone? you haven't supercid and have locked your bootloader right?
(didn't download from that site though)

Okay, thank you for the reassurance. I just am pretty paranoid about bricking my phone. I have been looking up how to use RUUs for the last day or so, I just couldn't find anything on how to select the right one. Thanks again.
I just checked out your link and I am downloading now. I do not have SuperCID and I will be looking my boot loader.

If you are on TMOB US then it's for you. Furthermore, you can match thr CID of your phone to that in the RUU.exe --> Firmware.zip --> android-info.txt.
You'll have to extract firmware.zip from temporary files when you run RUU without connecting phone.

I ended up using that RUU that was linked earlier in this thread and everything went fine. I just don't have the stock recovery. I guess that isn't that much of a problem though.

The RUU installs the Stock Recovery automatically. You don't have to do anything extra.
You can find stock recovery (if you want to keep it for any purpose) inside the RUU (extraction would require you to run the RUU and then extract the recovery from Temporary Files)
OR
you can find it in the forums.
Hmmm, that's strange. Oh well I guess. When I tried to go into the recovery it just showed a red exclamation mark with a phone under it. I don't really need a recovery right now. Thanks for letting me know where I can find it.

I believe that is the stock recovery. The red exclamation mark is telling you that you don't have access to it. Perfectly normal.

Yes, I think it will give you an error with that cid. Someone could correct me, but with s-off you can run whatever ruu you want.

So I should be able to run the RUU with lower boot like mine and it will upgrade the boot to 2.15 -
Is it true that with 2.15 hboot, modifying the CID is not allowed ?
Any reason why I should stay with 1.13 HBOOT and not go to 2.15 Hboot? Meaning any disadvantages of upgrading to HBOOT 2.15 ?
Well, say you updated your phone via ota & your cid is European or something. And all of the ruus for that CID are lower hboots. If u are s-on and and needed to ruu you wouldn't be able to.
But there is a guide to run a ota.zip for those people, so it isn't hopeless.
So not too many disadvantages.
In fact I just installed the newest Rom and firmware today. So my hboot is 2.16.
And the gossip is that update will be officially put out by HTC in a few weeks.

Remember this.
if you want to go stock again in future (warranty purpose)
some providers have only provided an ota (only ruu with lower hboots) when upgrading to jb. So downgrading gets hard
It's not that easy to flash an ota as is a ruu.
If your s-off downgrading is no issue.

Hello,
my HTC SENSATION has the HBOOT Version 1.27.1100 and I want to download a RUU to restore my HTC device completely. But I can´t find a RUU with this HBOOT version.
I only have to download the right RUU and install it on my HTC device to restore it completely, right?

It uses the bootloader to flash the file. If you put it on your sd card and reboot into bootloader (volume down button + power button) you will be asked to update. Choose yes using the volume buttons and the file will be flashed, easy as that

When you install a rom by a RUU, it will also flash the stock Hboot version. Take a look at the shipped roms thread.

Hboot 1.27 is clearly ICS.
Download official RUU from here (RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed)
This is the latest official ICS RUU for unbranded Europe Sensation.
If your device is branded or your region is not Europe then search for the appropriare RUU.
Run the exe from pc with phone usb plugged. It will restore your phone as "out of the box".
Hope it helped.
Man I really don't understand any of this lol......... I'm just gonna ask a few questions and you guys can either respond or not....
1) I am on stock ICS, rooted, with HTC Dev Unlocked and using Clockwork. If I wanted to un-root, remove clockwork and re-lock the Hboot... How would that go exactly? 1.27.0000 etc...
2) I don't understand why getting S-Off is so difficult. If one would simply downgrade from ICS to GB, wouldn't that change the Hboot version to a lower one, and then you would be able to use the Revolutionary way? Or is that not possible to do? Or does the downgrade not affect the Hboot?
3) Which Custom ROM am I able to flash at the moment? Any, based on ICS?

Hi,
1. I think that you can just run the RUU in the post above yours.(If your phone is European)
2.Downgrading is not possible on hboot 1.27.000
HTC have locked you out of this possibility.
3.As you say.Any 3.32. based ICS ROM.

It can be done only by running corresponding RUU which can be found based on your firmware(in your case it is 3.32) and cid (to get cid "fastboot getvar cid")...if you are unbranded i.e. cid is HTC__001..then you can run the above mentioned ruu...or else you should get the appropriate one...if you can't find it then post your cid along with radio..we can find the appropriate one for you

If you are S-ON you can't downgrade...not by running a RUU or by flashing firmware directly...that's why people use revolutionary first to get soff and then they'll flash unlocked firmware to update the hboot and all...

Hi everyone,
This is my very first post and I'll admit I am a NOOB.
As I've searched XDA and Google for my questions, I am really at a loss and thought I would pose my question(s) to the community.
I have a Rogers HTC One X(Evita) running CM 10.0, I am currently S-ON, with TWERP 2.3.1
I would like to install the latest CM but it would seem my HBOOT (1.11) needs to be upgraded.
My first question is if my CID is Roger001 is this similar to being SuperCID?
If so, which firmware is recommended? Which is the latest HBOOT I should upgrade to?
I guess this brings me to my next question, what exactly do I need to be able to upgrade my HBOOT?
I've seen a few walkthroughs but none mention Roger001 as CID and I'd rather not risk bricking my phone.
If you need any other information, please let me know.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
You definitely need to update your phone in order to flash the latest cm ROM. But, with your phone in its current state you'll brick it. You don't have SuperCID (11111111), you'll definitely need to get that first, then get s-off, then you can RUU up to the latest. Links to everything you need are in this thread.
Sent from my Evita
Thanks Tim.
I'll give that a whirl and let you know how it turns out.
Another silly question, what exactly is RUU?
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
RUU stands for ROM Update Utility. It basically takes your phone back to being completely stock, including recovery. The beauty of being s-off when you run an RUU is the s-off status survives the process, and so will your unlocked bootloader. So all you need to do when it's finished is flash TWRP again via fastboot, then flash your ROM via TWRP.
Sent from my Evita
Ahh
That makes perfect sense!
If I wanted to stay stock, I could?

Yeah there's nothing stopping you. Then if you change your mind it's as simple as following the steps I mentioned before.
Sent from my Evita
I haven't had a chance to try anything as of yet but I've been doing some reading, could I use the One X Att all-in-one kit 3.0.1 to obtain SuperCID as well S-Off?
I tried another apparently popular program yesterday but it didn't work, as my CID is still Roger001.

So, I flashed that latest Rogers RUU using ARUWizard, everything looked to be okay, as now I am now on H-Boot 2.14.
However, I cant boot into anything..
For some reason, when it tries to boot up it shows the CyanogenMod logo when loading but nothing.
Windows recognizes my phone and tries to install new drivers but fails.
I can boot into the bootloader but when I hit recover, the screen goes black and then after awhile a red ! with a phone beneath it shows up.
Any ideas anyone?

Ok, firstly you didn't need to relock your bootloader to run the RUU because you have s-off. And what exactly is aruwizard? And how did you flash CM after you ran the RUU?

I followed the steps from the link you gave me, under the RUU section, as there was a guide on how to install an RUU for Rogers HTC One X.
It said to relock the phone, so, I did.
ARWizard was part of the guide.
The weird thing is, I didn't flash CM, I flashed the Rogers RUU, so, I'm not even sure how CM10 is even on my phone.
I can get to the Bootloader but I can't launch TWERP and my windows PC now doesn't recognize my phone, it says installing drivers but never does. I had HTC Sync installed in hopes that it would help, it didn't.
Is my only option to do a Factory Reset in Hboot? I've read ill lose all my info on the SD card.
Thanks

I'm not familiar with that method, but it seems to me that it doesn't do a full RUU. And evidently it hasn't because you still have cm on your phone. What hboot version does your phone list in bootloader now? You could just run the at&t 3.18 RUU which will do the whole job. You're s-off so it should be fine.

I am 2.14 HBOOT and S-off.
The problem is that while my Windows PC recognizes my phone, it doesnt load the drivers and therefore, I cant send any ADB commands.
I am not even able to go into TWERP.
How will I be able to run the AT&T if I cant push any ADB commands from my PC?
You don't need any adb commands to run an RUU, but you do need the pc to recognize the phone. I'd try uninstalling all drivers, then installing them again to see if it helps.

Ota is not the same as aruwizard zip. Aru zip is exactly the same as Rom.zip you find inside ruu files, evita ones get the name pj83img.
Not sure why everyone thinks ota is ruu, nowhere is it refered to as being the same thing.
Maybe the firmware.zip in the ota managed to flash though hence your hboot and other firmware was upgraded.
If you follow the "or" method for flashing the zip it actually should work. The better correct answer is once s-off to download/install the latest ruu available that you want and ota up from there.

Exactly as @tivofool said. Follow that thread.
Remove that superCID beforehand ot you'll get brick. Change it to stock.
You just need an OTA.zip , jellybean of course, to get to stock. No need to flash firmware.zip as you are already on JB firmware.

As far as I know the HBOOT of the ROM must not be older than 2.14 and I can't find an appropriate ROM.
1. fastboot oem lock
2. launch RUU (I tried some, but it did't work)
Do I have to flash a Stock Recovery after that?
Running an RUU returns the phone to being completely stock, including recovery. I hope your don't have SuperCID or you're gonna brick. Click the link in my signature, you'll find RUU threads there.

The available o2 RUUs are too old

So you run an older RUU and then take OTAs, you can't just flash OTA files, it won't work. You need to return the phone to being completely stock first though, s-on, original CID, locked bootloader, original recovery.

I tried this file: RUU_EVITA_UL_ICS_40_S_O2_DE_2.29.207.1_Radio_0.19as.32.09.20_3_10.107.32.25L_release_272946_signed.exe, it didn't work (contentual: Error 170, USB Error)
The XL is S-ON (never was S-OFF), bootloader is relocked (fastboot oem lock), then I launched the RUU.exe.
What I read is, that I can't flash older ROMs (what ever that means). So, what can I do if the o2-RUUs are to old? Can I downgrade the HBOOT?
edit: Can I downgrade HBOOT with the JET (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940512) and then ran a RUU?
Hey guys,
Where can I find the RUU for HBOOT 2.15.0000, RADIO 1.13.50.05.31 ?
I've looked all over and cannot find it.
Any help appreciated.
Seconded. I've looked for a RUU on and off for the last several months.

Why you need this specific ruu?
It may be this one: http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo..._10.30.50.08L_release_309489_signed_ICS_2.exe

Thanks! I was told that I needed the same RUU as what I had on the phone or else I could not restore if I didn't have S-OFF.
Are you saying that I can install a _newer_ RUU at any time than what I have?
Thanks,
Aron
Yes, you can always install the same or newer version. To install older you need to be S-off.

WOW! OK, well that opens things up.
Here's my plan, please tell me if it makes sense.
1: I will try firewater s-off. Let's see if that works. Right now I am back to RELOCKED so we will see if the temporary root method works for firewater s-off.
2: Assuming the above works, I will them put in TWRP recovery (fastboot flash recovery xxxxx)
I would think that this would give me s-off, and finally a custom recovery software.
I am not sure at this point if I need SuperSU if I have s-off and TWRP installed and an unlocked boot loader.
Thanks!!!!
BTW: I had previously unlocked boot loader, installed TWRP, superSU. Tried to install CM11 and when I flashed the boot.img it screwed up my phone. Now I am back to RELOCKED and stock Jellybean.

I would look into moonshine s-off first. I've read of some people having problems with firewater.
Moonshine S-Off
You have to be patient with it, but it's completely foolproof. I've used it on two HTC One S models without fail.
OK, but with moonshine I need to go to HTC dev an unlock the boot loader again. Also I'm worried that it will change HBOOT. Seems spooky.

It's not spooky at all. Even though it changes the hboot, the hboot is technically still listed as 2.15 and is compatible with any ROM in the dev section (except the ones that require 2.16, of course).
Thanks. I noticed another thing. With moonshine I have to update my ROM to :3.14.531.11

Yep. It has to be on the stock version of Jelly Bean 4.1 to work. Although I've read that it's also okay if you've upgraded to 3.14.531.17. It will work with that firmware upgrade too if you just use the same process as if it were on 3.14.531.11.

OK I know my software number is 3.14.531.17
But when you look at something like HBOOT 2.15.0000, RADIO 1.13.50.05.31 how does that correlate to the software number? Is there a way to find out? Very confused by this.
Thanks!

Hboot version is the version of the bootloader. Radio is the version of the firmware for the equipment in the phone that controls your mobile data/WiFi connection. These usually are upgraded along with a major software update like 3.14.531.11.

Thanks! I was just wondering why the software version is not listed in the RUU number.
Something like:
HBOOT 2.15.0000, RADIO 1.13.50.05.31 Version 3.14.531.17 RUU
OK, never mind. I can't believe it was so easy to find the RUU. Right on HTC's site!
And HTC DOES list the software number:
RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_TMOUS_3.14.531.17_Radio_1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L_release_320836_ICS_2_JB.exe
OK, I am ready to try S-OFF.
Thanks for the help.

The software version usually is in the RUU number, actually. The one for yours is:
RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_TMOUS_3.14.531.11_Radio_1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L_release_309489_signed_ICS_2
It notes that it's for the Ville and not VilleC2, and that it is JB (Jelly Bean), that its for T-Mobile US, then the software number, then the radio version. They're all named pretty much in this order.

Thanks for the help guys but moonshine and firewater s-off didn't work for me.
Moonshine gets stuck with a ton of .............. over and over.
Firewater crashes out of adb shell.
Another user has the same ROM etc... he tried all of the options (except all in one toolkit) and none work.
I thought I saw a manual way of getting s-off but I can't find the link now.
