can someone help me out please? i rooted my g2 today and about 2 hours later dropped it flat on its face. the lcd broke, i cant see anything on the phone just vibrates when i turn it on.. is there some way using the sdk on the computer to unroot the phone so i can send it for an insurance replacement?
If its anything like the desire you can apply a RUU update.exe that flashes the phone rom, hboot, radio and recovery i.e. stock. However if yours is branded i.e. has your carriers software all over it, you'll need to find the corresponding RUU for that carrier. Also if its branded you'll probably (desire does) need to make a goldcard if you were to apply an unbranded RUU.

EDIT: didn't realise the G2 was T-Mobiles phone (if Im not mistaken and check me on this is the HTC Hero)... erm heres a link to a load of G2 roms, radios etc http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4525584
do some researching into tutorials to make sure your doing the right thing. Also to research is whether your phone is GSM or CDMA as you will also have to flash the right RUU for that too.
When you rooted did you only root the rom or also patch a modded recovery too? If its the rom I suppose you could apply just the rom update, however if you applied a recovery you'll have to flash that with a stock one too.
Sorry its a bit confusing...
I loved my ChaCha so much I bought a second Black version from Canada's mobile network Telus. Of course it must be tweeked to get the most benefit, so I went to HTCDev to unlock the bootloader. When I run the RUU it tells me that I don't have the latest version. The Telus RUU on HTCDev is 1.24.661.1, but I already have 1.24.661.2 installed. I am lost as to what to do next. I've looked through the forums to find a similar situation but am unlucky.
What I am trying to do is make it so I can get data using my AT&T SIM (voice works, but not data), and run Didije's Custom Stripped Rom.
I guess what I am asking is ...
1. Is there a way to roll my RUU version back?
2. Does anyone have the Telus WWE RUU version 1.24.661.1, executable (.exe)?
3. Is there a way to get root with my current setup.
4. Any workarounds come to mind?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks everyone.

I ended up finding a thread that explains how to work this. Simply put, just go to the next step. At the HTCDev site, you do not have to install the Updated RUU. Just scroll to the bottom and click, "Next Step."

Thank you! I reported this to HTC back in August, but they said just keep checking back. I didnt notice that there is now a notice on the RUU page saying "If your RUU is newer than the one listed below, skip this step and go to the next step"
Had given up hope for rooting this device - 4 apps and i am already getting "no memory" messages
I know there are several threads like this one but I prefer not to write another RUU request while you're answering to another user
So, I got a HTC One S S3 yesterday... I began to unlock it because I wanted to change its CID. I found that in the S3 version the CID can't be changed (still) when I had already installed the TWRP Recovery.
Now I'd like to go back to stock, but there is not a RUU compatible with my device: It has VODAP102 as CID, but the RUU for Vodafone AT here doesn't work. I found the kernel source for the same software version I have in htcdev.com, my question is: is it possible to build a RUU or at least a boot.img from it?
The sources can be found in htcdev /devcenter/downloads (sorry but being new I can't post direct links!), HTC One S as Device, Vodafone as Carrier and UK -
1.11.161.133 as software version. Actually I am in Italy, but the software and kernel version are exactly the same.
Thank you in advance.
Bump to first page and a little addendum:
I've read again all the possibilities I have with this phone, and if I have understood accurately then I'm forced to go back to stock, roms like the ThickDroid seem to require a non-branded CID, but that's the point... it is the CID that's compelling me to maintain this original Vodafone software, otherwise I would have already installed the HTC "basic" rom.
Am I missing something?
Thank you again!
Have you tried looking on HTCRUU.COM?
Check your radio id on the bootloader screen then flash the appropriate ROM

Yes I checked, but they have just unbranded RUUs, here in the forum there's one RUU for Vodafone but the region isn't the same as mine.
I've read that it is possible to flash an OTA update deleting the string that checks the CID - I'll have to take a look about that (moreover, it seems very difficult to find .zip OTA updates for this phone...).
Nevertheless I'd like to find this RUU update too - it is an important option too. So... bump to first page.
I have a rooted S One that seems to have lost its root access and signal after OTA update from Bell - the phone was bought on eBay as an "unlocked sealed" item, which wasn't the case. I want to restore the phone to stock and SIM unlock it for use with Telus, but there's no 1.84 RUU for Rogers available. I just want to confirm I can't restore the phone to stock without the 1.84 RUU. Or, if there's an alternative to get it working again, what that alternative might be and where to start. Thanks for any help.

Post is a bit confusing. You talk about Bell, Rogers, and Telus all at once. Also, if you got an OTA update from Bell, you will only be able to execute an RUU that has an hboot version equal to or higher than your current one.
If you are looking for a more recent RUU than the ones posted on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543588
then I suggest you send a private message to Football, the user who started that post. He helped me find newer Bell Mobility RUUs (which have since been posted to the thread).
Your other option is to do a bootloader downgrade (see the dev post on this, its a bit complicated), and then you can flash other radios from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998270
If you dont want to downgrade your bootloader, you can always flash to a CM10 base (AOSP type) ROM, such as PAC Man, or Jelly Bam, etc. Then you can flash radios without having to downgrade.
Again, though this is all assuming that your true problem is with you baseband radio and now switching carriers has made your reception poor...
Also remember you will have to relock your bootloader before you execute an RUU, otherwise it wont take (that and a correct bootloader version)

Thanks for the info. The phone is a sim-unlocked Fido unit. It was running on Bell before the OTA update.
Here are the specs:
Android version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense version: 4.0
Software number: 1.84.631.9
HTC SDK API level: 4.11
HTC Extension version: HTCExtension_403_1_GA_4
Build number: 1.84.631.9 CL64348 release-keys
Is the "build number" the RUU? I'll try Football, but do I need the Rogers (Fido) RUU?
Thanks.
you can not execute an rogers ruu on a bell phone, the cid wont match
there is an app on play who will display you the cid and the original network; like that you'll know exactly what phone do you have in hand
you just have to unlockit after and you will be able to useit in whatever network you want
Thanks. Ran CID getter and says it's ROGER001. So I've confirmed that I need a Rogers file. And I would like to unlock it, but from what I've read I cannot restore back to Rogers 1.70 because the unit has been updated to 1.84. I have read that if I can find a 1.84 Rogers file, I can use that to restore the unit. This is the next thing I need to confirm. I appreciate your help.
I think that is almost correct. You can change the CID to the Rogers one using the same technique as posted in the super Cid thread in the development section. Normally though you can't flash an older ruu as the hboot version can't be older. But You may also want to try posting a message in the bootloader downgrade thread that is stickied to n the development section. I think if you downgrade your bootloader and also do a minor hex edit to a partition you can flash an older RUU. I have downgraded my bootloader but haven't tried flashing an older ruu so I can't say for sure.

Thanks again. So I can assume the CID is already Rogers, yes? I don't want to change it. My hope is that I can use the All in One Toolkit (one of the sticky posts) to bring the phone back to stock and then SIM unlock it for use with Telus. If I run the Toolkit, and use cbetso's instructions from the "How to Return to Stock" post (after adding the stock recovery to the folder). If I locate the Rogers 1.84 RUU, can I run it without downgrading?
don't assume, your cid is rogers ROGER001, so there is absolutely no way your phone could download and execute an update from bell.
so I can not understand what has bell to do in this.
if you just want to use it on telus network, you just have to unlock it, you don't even need root for this. and the phone will work just fine.
the root is needed when you want to change ROM, radio, debloat and others.
one of the others will be tweaking the build.prop file to achieve maximum capacities of your 3g/4g desired network
Thanks - it's a difficult story to tell, really. It was a Rogers unit, SIM unlocked to work with Bell. It was on Bell's network for two months, and an OTA update caused major radio and reception problems. It will not keep a network signal anymore. I have tried other SIMs in the unit and it will not recognize them, nor start up with the "Enter Unlock Code" screen to SIM unlock it. It's my understanding that I need to return it to stock by finding the Rogers RUU file that matches the software version on the unit, which is 1.84. This is my very limited understanding of the issue, but it's what I've been able to figure out.
if it was a rogers device, and you did not change the CID, you get the ROGER001 cid with the app, your phone is still a rogers device
doesn't matter in which networks was used, for the two months before you get it, and by you after
as long the cid stays ROGER001, your phone will remain a rogers device, unlocked to be used in different networks.
so there is absolutely no way an OTA update, from bell or telus could be the source of your problems, because your phone will not download or execute an ota update from other networks
same for rogers ota update, as long the phone was unlocked, will not execute OTA updates, even the updates will be downloaded on the phone
your connection problem came from other reasons;
however it you want to return the phone to rogers stock, the key number is HBOOT version;
you can execute any RUU with HBOOT version higher or equal with your present version on the phone
if somehow you're on a very high version and you can not find the appropriate RUU, we can always downgrade RUU, check development section for tutorial
it's not very simple, but as long you're ok and you understand the steps, go for it, it is doable.
if you have root, you might try different radios before all above, or maybe a custom rom; just an ideea; as long the phone is not soft bricked or physically damaged, there is no reason a custom rom will not work
Thanks for the information. There seems to be other problems with the unit, including it won't delete all data after hard reset, it won't recognize other networks when other SIMs are put in, it has been upgraded past the 1.70 stock Rogers RUU. I wish I could get it figured out or I may have to sell it as is. Appreciate your help.
factory reset in fastboot didn't work?
means you're on some custom rom with non stock recovery?
have you tried to flash a stock recovery? any of them, whatever you'll find around here; there are no much difference in term of facilities between them;
then you should be able to restore phone to factory defaults
try find somewhere All in one kitt one S v1.0; there is stock recovery in it, and flashing is easy
in v1.1 there is no more stock recovery
donwload ruu or open up ruu..when it first starts go into your windows manager and in the link section delete what you have in that section like c:/program files and replace it with %temp% and it will find two encrypted folders with a big letter/digit name and they will show you what time they were opened . open them up and find rom.zip copy it to your desktop and then extract it somewhere safe .. in the folders in rom.zip you will see recovery_signed.img rename it recovery.img and flash it via hasoons tool kit provided in the development section..just in case you ever run into this again
Thanks. Can I flash a stock recovery in the All in One Toolkit without having the proper RUU version I need? Will this allow me to factory reset the phone, and the radio issue is another unrelated problem? The unit is supposed to be SIM unlocked, but when I put another carrier's SIM in, I still have no radio and I do not see the screen that says "unrecognized SIM" with an "enter unlock code" option.

Not sure about your radio issue, that would require testing out different radios. You can do that on a higher hboot by trying AOSP ROMS and using the Radio flasher in the dev forums.
As for flashing stock recovery you can also just use the following link: http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/down...ery_signed.img
The stock recovery doesnt really change from RUU to RUU. You dont need a particular recovery to use a particular RUU, as far as I know.
Thanks - you wanna take another look at that link? It didn't seem to be anything. Or do I need to change the extension?

Try that. Sorry about the other link
I maybe miss it, but you never said what is the exact status of the phone right now;
it is booting? it is working on some network? at least partially like voice only? what ROM are you on? what HBOOT?
Hi there - thanks for getting back to me and asking. The phone seems to be booting normally and always has been. It is not able to recognize any new SIM card. It's a Rogers unit, and when I add my Telus SIM it does not go to the "Unrecognized SIM" screen, it actually registers the TELUS network for a moment, then the radio gives no signal.
How can I check the ROM, 'cause I have no idea. Is the HBOOT in these specs?
Android version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense version: 4.0

HTC SDK API level: 4.11
HTC Extension version: HTCExtension_403_1_GA_4

Thanks again.
for the Hboot version you have to reboot in fastboot
for recovery reboot into recovery
for the ROM version, once booted normaly you have to go into about phone > software
are you sure you have the right settings for Telus APN? for some reasons, the phone will not registered to network, if apn setting are wrong;
at least for me, which I'm opposite to you as I have a telus phone and using it in fido network, if I dont have Fido APN setted up, the phone does not register to network
Hello everyone! Sorry for my bad English
I've got a HTC One S (HTC__017) with unlocked bootloader, S-ON, HBOOT 1.06.0000 and Radio 1.11.50.05.28 and recently, i'm a little motivated to give a try for a Custom ROM (Obviously, there's more work to do with the S-ON) but i want to prevent a big accident in the process and i need the correct RUU File for my phone, I've been looking on my own the file but I couldn't find it
Now, someone knows which RUU file can I use? I'm novice with HTC Phones and this is new for me
Thanks in advance

It's easier to find the correct one if you know your firmware version/build number. If you're still using stock rom you can find it in settings>about>software information>more. If you already deleted the stock system on your phone you need to use
Code:
fastboot getvar all
in fastboot mode (look at the line beginning with "version-main"). Since you already unlocked your phone I assume you know how to use fastboot with the windows cmd.
RUUs can be found here for example. Just use the search function of your browser and be sure that you download a RUU and not an OTA. Since there are two versions of the One S you need to be careful not to use VilleC2 (Snapdragon S3 with 1.7 gHZ) files on a Ville (Snapdragon S4 with 1.5 gHz) and vice versa (this rule applies on roms, kernels, etc., too). If I remember correctly your hboot is Ville specific but if you want to be sure you can find the answer in the getvar all output (look at the line beginning with "product").
Thank you so much man, i understand a little more but i have another problem: i can't find a proper version of the RUU File (My build number is 3.14.422.11) and there's only one similar (3.14.422.9) and matches with my radio version (1.11.50.05.28) but i'm not sure if it works with my One S (It's a Snapdragon S4 and in the "product" line says "vle" btw)

The problem is that the only file with the 422 SKU is an OTA and not a RUU. If your phone was S-OFF you wouldn't need to use corresponding RUUs because you were able to flash any you want. It's a vicious circle in your case since you wanted the correct RUU before you start flashing. On the other side if you carefully follow the instructions of the S-OFF guides there shouldn't be any risk of bricking. Simply don't try to use any short cuts if any step doesn't not work the way the instructions tell you. Since I'm not living in the states I'm not completely sure but Cincinnati Bell is part of Bell Mobile, right? If that's correct I would change the CID to SuperCID (depending on the S-OFF method you use you may need to get the SCID anyway) and try to run one of the "BM" RUUs on AndroidRUU. Since all of them are older than you actual firmware your phone will be downgraded then but you can update it by using the OTA function in settings>about.
Btw.: With that output you can be sure it's the Ville and not the VilleC2.
Okay, so, in simple words, what can I do with SuperCID (S-OFF) is:
-Restore my phone with any RUU regardless of my version of Radio, and without any risk
-Safe downgrade to upgrade my version of HBOOT (Because I want to try a custom ROM and most require HBOOT 2.15)
If not so, tell me in what I am wrong, btw, there's any custom ROM that you can recommend? I want to try Cyanogenmod 12.1 or MaximusHD, both look great but I'm a little undecided and would listen to someone more experienced with this phone

Actually your radio doesn't matter at all in regard of RUUs. Flashing a RUU is never risky as long as it's a signed/official one and you do not turn off the phone during the flashing process or disconnect it from your pc. If you are not S-OFF and your CID and/or firmware version doesn't match (SCID always matches) official RUUs will simply abort the flashing process.
After you achieved S-OFF and got the SCID you simply need to relock your bootloader, boot into fastboot mode, connect the phone to your pc and run the RUU.exe. (As far as I remember relocking was needed for being able to install OTAs afterwards but I'm not completely sure. I just remember that I always did when I downgraded. Maybe someone else can confirm this.)
I personally do not like Cyanogenmod on this phone. Since there never was a GPE of the One S (the first HTC GPE that ever existed was the HTC One M7 GPE which is actually younger than this phone) there are no AOSP drivers for this phone and you can notice this problem for example in a worse camera quality on roms that are not based on sense (there are other problems but that's the most prominent one I can remember).
MaxximusHD is based on the leaked but never officially published android 4.2.2 firmware of the One S. If you want to use it without memory problems (the leaked firmware changes the way the phone interacts with it's memory) you need to flash the hboot 2.16. Instructions can be found in the Maxximus thread for example. I personally prefer hboot 2.16 because of its reorganized memory but the radio 1.20 that gets flashed with that firmware has some problems with the incall voice quality.
To sum it up, every custom rom has its pros and cons and every user has his/her own preferences so it's hard to tell others which rom to use. The best way is to look which ones fullfil your needs and to test them out by yourself.
Edit: Downgrading isn't needed if you just want to start flashing. I just wanted to point out what happens if you run a RUU that is older than your actual firmware.
Edit2: Nevertheless here is a chronological list of the roms I liked and used longer than a week on this phone: Viper 2.2 (hboot 2.15), MaxximusHD (hboot 2.16), Viper 3.2.1 (hboot 2.16).
