[Q] RUU for my One S S3

Where can I get a stock rom for my One S s3? its locked to Optus. I checked in the thread but all I can find was roms for euro.. I Can't change my CID either because my phone is villeC2.
Can anyone help me?

It's bad news, but there is no Optus RUU for the S4 or S3 as far as I'm aware of.
You'll need to change the CID to HTC__001 or HTC__032 or something else unbranded for an unbranded RUU to work.

Well i have tried to change to HTC__001 and the Super CID 11111111 and i dont think I have seen anyone successful changing there S3 CID
There has to be something I can do.
Has anyone with a S3 been able to change there CID or atleast flash a Stock RUU with the CID OPTUS001?

If you have a nandroid backup of the previous state.

Im sorry i don't understand are you saying if i have a nandroid backup of the state when I was on stock before I rooted? Becuase I dont?
Im on Trickdroid 3 but i cant use 4 because I need to flash back to stock... and i just dont know how to do that without the RUU...

I mean after you unlocked your bootloader, but before you rooted, if that makes sense? If you have a nandroid of that state you can restore to that, and then relock your bootloader.

No i didnt unfortanatly is there anything i can do at all to get back to stock on the S3?

I think not. I have the same issue or even worse, for some reason TD3 stuck with bootscreen.

Well thats an easy fix do a full wipe/cache in twrp recovery.
-Install TD2 with the appropriate boot.img
-let it boot
-Install TD3 with the appropriate boot.img
-wait for it to boot and then you can install the tweak package

who can offer one s s3 OPTUS001 firmware or OTA,very thankyou!
My phone htc one s s3,now still 4.0.3,It haven't find official RUU and super cid method ,so, who can offer one s s3 OPTUS001 firmware or OTA
thankyou very much!

[Q] Upgrade hboot to stop navigation from crashing...

I've heard that people on hboot 1.14 aren't having problems with the navigation... For me, this has always been a problem from day one... How can I upgrade my hboot? Probably this is a noob question, but I couldn't find any tutorial... Thanks

I doubt that is causing the problem. HBOOT has nothing to do with software running on the phone.

That's not exactly true. We've seen it happen in the CM10 thread where there were different behaviors with different hboots.

HBOOT may not be causing the problem, could be anything from SBL1,2 and 3 to adsp. New software versions have different radios, HBOOTs, etc.

Already tried different radios, I'm on CM10. This has been a issue for many people... Check out this
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=6611
and read comment 3 by intervigil... he says " For what it's worth, I and others on HBOOT/firmware 1.14 do not have this issue. "
That's why I want to try hboot 1.14...

HBOOT gets upgraded by running a newer RUU than installed.
Which version are you on? Which HBOOT do you currently use?
By the way, found out something funny:
I was on 1.14.0001 and 2.31 HTC ROM .. I downgraded HBOOT to 1.06 (tried something), then flashed 2.31 RUU again, it upgraded HBOOT to 1.14.0002.

I'm on hboot 1.13... but what is the RUU? It's like making the phone factory default correct? Where I can find it? Sorry for the noob questions...:laugh:

No problem
Use this app to tell us your CID. It is written at the top.
RUU files are official HTC firmware tools, which reset your phone and update your Android.
And please tell us which version you are using: Go to Settings, Info, Software-Information, write down "Software-Number"... Should be something like 2.31.xxx.x

In that case, go to HBOOT and type fastboot getvar cid or fastboot oem readcid into an adb window.
I don't think it is in alphabetical order. Or you can open your build.prop in system, transfer it to a computer, and search using notepad++ or similar.

Hey,
sorry, my girlfriend came here, had no time.
And yes, get into bootloader > fastboot, type "fastboot getvar cid"

The result is VODAP304

Is it true that if I run the RUU I have to root and unlock all over again my phone?

You will have to root, but you will remain unlocked. You will need to flash a SuperUser zip.
Boot into FASTBOOT USB mode.
Since your CID is VODAP304, type fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 (with two underscores). Then download this file, and place it in your adb folder. Then type fastboot flash hboot ville114.nb0 (make sure it is nb0, not nbO). Reboot into the bootloader again, and you should have HBOOT 1.14.
Or alternatively, after writing CID, just run the HTC WWE 2.31 RUU. That will also work.

As an FYI, RUUs for many phones can be found at http://www.4shared.com/folder/jKN2qjTl/HTC_Ville_RUU_Collection.html
and a discussion can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543588
To flash an RUU, you can only flash one that has an equal or greater bootloader version (ie you cant downgrade). RUUs will upgrade your bootloader if you flash a version that is greater.
You also need to flash an RUU that corresponds to your CID. The RUU wont flash if the CID doesnt correspond. However, you can also turn your CID into a SuperCID to flash any other RUU. There is DEV thread on this as well.
Oh and you need to relock your bootloader before starting the RUU.
Cheers,
AKToronto

Thanks anyway, but I've upgraded to hboot 1.14 and the navigation keeps crashing.... I thing it's a bug from CM10...

Question about debranding

Hi there!
i have a htc one s phone, originally with a "HTC__K18" cid which i've changed to "HTC__001".
i've read a lot about debranding it, switching its rom to a european one and get OTAs, and i understand that i can only switch to Super-CID in order to get the RUU to work. however - i won't be able to install the JB OTA.
my question is - can i install the RUU with Super-CID, then change it back to "HTC__001" and install the OTA?
thanks,
Yossi

Doea anyone know where I can find the answer?

You might want to redownload the RUU. Is the latency on your connection good?

hmm..
i don't think this is the problem.. it said that i should find another rom which suits my device.

Whats the mid of the device? Is it correct for the ruu? Tried it in fastboot USB mode?
You can even try it without a simcard inserted.
And is this on a relocked device or still unlocked?
And whats your current boot version?

my mid is PJ4010000.
I don't know if it's the right RUU for my device - i don't know which is the right one, since i've changed the cid and my old cid doesn't have any RUU available.
i've locked, rooted, changed cid and then relocked the device, so there's should be no problem with that.
should i do something with the mid? is it safe to change it?

oke your mid is fine for the ruu.
this cannot be changed yet (as far as i know)
and what is your current hboot version?
if your still on 2.xx you can also try ro run a older ruu and then do the ota (do not do it on supercid!!)
remember an ruu with a older hboot than your original cannot be flashed (downgrade) if your not s-off
as usaff22 said have you tried downloading another source of the ruu.
have you restored the stock recovery before relocking and running the ruu?
if you are not s-off you have to restore the stock recovery before running the ruu.
tried it without a inserted simcard?
tried the ruu with phone in fastboot usb mode? (heard of people geting error on 1st try but when starting the ruu again it went tru the whole process).

Thanks for your reply!
I'll try everything and let you know if it went fine.
Do you have another source for the OTA?

[Q] Revert back to stock

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.
Sent from my One S using xda premium

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)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094414

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.
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2

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.

[Q] HTC logo with 4 triangles in every corner

Hello,
I hope you can help me on this one. I have a HTC Sensation XE with S-ON, locked bootloader. Region for RUU is europe .401.. I wanted to install a new rom and the process took so long that I removed the battery and started it again to find out that my ROM was wiped and the new one don't work. I was able to go in recovery but after trying like 10 other roms I got no hope left. Then I found out that there is a RUU that I can use to bring my phone back to stock again. I used one RUU which I think met my phone(I could have been wrong). After starting the update like 15 minutes or so it got stuck at the installing screen and gave me a 150 error. I wanted to try again but when I started the phone I only saw a grey HTC logo and 4 triangles in every corner. I did try it again but still got the 150 error. I am lost and I hope you can help me with this.
Btw. my sd-card is lost and the phone don't have a sd-card now.
