​After being on this forum for some time now, I have came to relize that there are many newbies found here. Asking how to flash firmware files, roms, and mods... So im taking the time to make a comprehensive guide on how to keep your phone up to date with the release of roms and mods by us developers.... This guide will help you determine on what you need to do to be updated to the latest found here on XDA. Remember onece update some older roms will not flash, meaning you will have to check updater-script and see if it matches your partition layout if not, just edit it accordingly and then it should flash.
First Step : Unlocking with HTCDev
To even enter the world of flashing a HTC device you first want to unlock your bootloader. To do that please go to this link and follow there instructions on unlocking your bootloader. https://www.htcdev.com/
Once you are done with them you will have an unlocked bootloader. Now dont get all happy there, as your device still has many security messures in place to make sure you dont screw up your device... Yes as of now you can flash custom recoveries, kernels and roms, But most of this can only be done with the assistance of a computer. This is why i suggest you continue with this guide to unlock the full potential of the phone.
Secound Step :S-Offing Your Device
For many of you who dont know what S-Off is please read this article - Here.!!!
After unlocking your bootloader you may want to proceed to S-OFF your device. This way you can flash just about anything without the use of a computer, Or to upgrade Firmware files released by HTC without running a RUU.
But this is were the 2nd step falls short as i do not know what S-OFF exploits will work with your current version of hboot. So i will link a few S-OFF threads below
1. S-OFF - HTC One Mini RUMRUNNER!!!
2. S-OFF with REVONE
3. FIREWATER S-OFF
Third Step :Gaining SuperCID
What is SuperCID & What does it do??
by CID unlocking your device the value of the CID is changed to SuperCID . This allows the flashing of ANY ROM to the device regardless of the carrier and also unlocks the read/write capability of the Ext_ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once S-OFF I myself always do SUPERCID, to do this boot into fasboot and enter these commands using fastboot tool
1.
fastboot oem readcid
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2.
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3.
fastboot oem readcid -- Should say 11111111
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Fourth Step : Updating Your Firmware On Your Device
What is Firmware? Why do we need to flash this?
The reason we need to update firmware is becuase in some cases it can cause future bugs in update roms, or even make some roms not flashable anymore because they support a new partition layout like found in the mini forums. So proceed if you have s-off and SuperCID by now.
Now you want to flash my Firmware found here and follow the instructions on updating your firmware... Please note that SDCARD will be wiped, so back it up before flashing.
Fifth Step : Flashing a Updated Recovery
Once you followed my firmware thread you want to update your recovery to one of these 3 listed recoverys below... the reason why i list these recoveries because they support the new partion layout.. As well with the old layout ( But you shouldnt be on old layout anymore )
To flash recoveries use this command, but fill it out accordingly to were your recovery image is located. Also need phone to be in fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. TWRP 2.7.1.1
2. Philz Advanced Recovery
3. CWM Recovery
Sixth Step : Sense 6 Firmware & How To Flash
Code:
*** Boot into Bootloader/Fastboot USB Mode ***
Step 1) [B]fastboot oem rebootRUU[/B]
*** Wait for the device to reboot to a black screen with an HTC logo ***
Step 2) [B]fastboot flash zip sense6_firmware.zip[/B]
*** When it says it is done in the terminal/cmdprompt execute the following ***
[The green bar only fills up about 75% of the way]
Step 3) [B]fastboot reboot-bootloader[/B]
Firmware Download :
Google Drive
Now Roms Like InsertCoin Should Install Correctly, But if it doesnt boot you may want to flash this cutom kernel found here.... If anyone doesnt know how to flash recoveries and boot.img's i will elaborate more on this guide.... HAPPY FLASHING

My ROM is Cyanogenmod official. Before cyanogenmod i have android 4.4.2 with hboot 2.21 ( maybe was updated from 4.3 .. ).

Go to the FUU thread and you'll see 4.3 firmware and supposable 4.4.2 firmware, download 4.3 hboot and flash the hboot.omg through terminal

After using your guide and flashing your new Stock Sense 6 Rom i got a problem.
My phone now says, its a developer phone.
how can i remove this?
before i was on stock 4.4.2 with hboot 2.21

hello, this might be a noob question but I am getting confused by the version numbers of hboot and firmware.
in your guide it says to flash the 2.22 firmware, does this have anything to do with hboot? does it update hboot to 2.22 as well? or do we have to update hboot to 2.22 before or after some step? mine is 2.19, I don't know if I need to update it or not...
thanks in advance for the clarification.

That is a rumrunner server problem, you can keep trying, contact them on irc, or use sunshine (their paid app) to get s-off.
I'm currently on 3.10.502.3. Can I flash the 4.09.401.3 firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...-official-stock-sense-6-rom-firmware-t2817921) now or is there another version I should flash before going to the latest?

HTC Sensation XE stuck in bootloop [SOLVED]

Hi all,
I am trying to recover an HTC Sensation XE (PG58130), but I have no history on the unit, so I don't know if it's been modified or is genuinely faulty.
When you power the phone on, all you get is the HTC logo. Nothing else happens.
Vol Down + Power displays the following info:
*** LOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000
RADIO-10.14.9035.02_2

I have tried "Factory Reset". I also put the phone into Recovery, then wiped data and cache, but still only get the HTC logo.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, does the information above suggest the phone hasn't been modified?
It hasn't been modified. It still is S-on and has the original hboot 1.18

you need to soff your device which will let you flash a custom rom....
so that you can bring back your phone from hell
here is the guide to all the basic steps which are required to flash any rom
guide link
Thanks - I'll take a look.
Does that void the warranty with HTC? I would like to retain the warranty where possible, but if that's the only option then I don't mind.

all the things you are doing are reversible but you need to be careful while doing it
Follow step by step for successful soff
Also STEP 5 in the guide helps you in reversing the process which will help you in claiming the warranty
PS: Read each and every step carefully and execute them ...then it'll be a piece of cake
Sorry, another question, but I want to make sure I get this right.
It says in the guide to run revolutionary and then connect the phone. However, it says the phone should be on and in HTC Sync mode.
Obviously this phone isn't powering on so that's a problem.
Any ideas?

oops forgot about that
try this
keep your phone in hboot mode (i.e. power + vol down button) you'll get a white screen
then run revolutionary (hopefully revolutionary detects the phone)
if it doesn't work (i mean if revolutionary didn't recognize your device) let me know..
Im currently looking for any other method and ill post you if i got any leads
EDIT:
found the guide (follow steps carefully)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469296
There seems to be different headers indicating different steps. Which steps should I follow in my case?
By the way, I saw your post before you edited it, and followed these steps to setup adb and fastboot: http://dottech.org/tipsntricks/2153...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/
When I type 'adb devices' into cmd I get nothing (when in HBOOT), but when I go to fastboot and type 'fastboot devices' it shows me the phone's serial number. Is that normal?
Yeah that is normal.
Adb works when you are on your OS ie either GB or ICS and fastboot works when you are on bootloader..as fastboot was able to recognize your device can you post the cid
Command is "fastboot getvar cid"
Edit:
The thing is now you require a GB Rom which can be flashed which supports. your hboot and radio but by flashing that your hboot version should not change as that is the final version where soff works.
So try unlocking your device by using HTC dev and flash a stock 2.3 Rom mentioned in the guide.
Try the way where he mentioned about a member flashing rom (he has the same scenario hboot 1.18 and ics Rom on top of it with gb firmware)

Hi, sorry I was away yesterday.
My CID is HTC__001.
Does that make any difference to flashing, etc?

yeah cid does require some changes...but have you tried
revolutionary by keeping your phone connected to your pc through usb ???
i mean when you ran revolutionary was it able to identify your device and asked for beta key??
if it did recognized your device then you'll be not having issues anymore
so just try revolutionary first and let me know the result
In the mean time i'll figure out the best solution for you
EDIT: Also you got recovery installed ?? can you check that by going into recovery from HBOOT -> (if it is an exclamatory mark with inverted triangle then stock recovery)
I ran revolutionary in HBOOT and it didn't do anything, just said it was waiting for the device.
Should it be in a different mode?
My recovery screen looks the same as this:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

how did you wiped data and cache if you got stock recovery (fyi i haven't exploited stock recovery as i ran revolutionary and installed custom recovery the next minute i got my phone )
Even in fastboot mode, revolutionary just says "Waiting for device..."
To wipe data and cache I entered recovery, then pressed Vol Up + Power which brought up further options to wipe, etc.

finally i got the ruu which installed should give you the GB on it
1.here is the link to download the RUU (it will be big file 358 MB)
RUU link
this RUU.exe is based on your CID and Radio so it will run fine
2.Guide to install RUU
guide
3.if any issue persists (there is 1 common one which was fixed by a guy)
here is the link for the fix if you run into issue
RUU running issues fix
run the ruu.exe and your phone will be reverted back to GB rom
then if you want to update to ICS there are some basuc steps to be done...
i.e SOFF and all so follow the "Guide to SOFF ,supercid ...." thread
after that you can take take this guide as reference for installing any custom rom
EDIT:
ahh man the RUU may be wrong ( will update you about this)
i got another ruu
download this also...this seems more proper for your CID
RUU 2 LINK
Thanks, will reply once I've done all that. The file is downloading now. It says I have to ensure an ActiveSync connection is established, so here's hoping it lets me do that in HBOOT/Fastboot/Recovery.
UPDATE:
1.72 RUU one was for XE version
and 1.52 one was for normal sensation
Oh this one is XE so I need the first link you gave, right? And what mode do you recommend it to be in? Recovery, Fastboot or HBOOT?
EDIT: first link doesn't work once download is supposed to commence.

Restore to Stock - losing my mind

I've been trying to restore back to stock for over a day now and still havn't figured it out.
All of the guides start talking about adb or fastboot right in the middle of the guide without any explanation.
Aruwizard keeps saying bootloader version fail when I try to flash whats supposed to be stock rogers rom, but everything i see is telling me to download the one im already using.
1. download rogers ruu.zip
2. get supercid or downgrade follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671135
3. use the windows ruu tool ..... or .... get adb and fastboot installed correctly. google this if you dont know how
4a. for windows ruu tool follow my post in dev section
4b. for adb and fastboot do
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
it will ask u to run the last command again...

Have you relocked your bootloader?
1. make sure fastboot in android is turned off under power.
2. power off device
3. power phone on by holding down the volume down key + pressing power - don't release the volume down key until you see the bootloader screen
4. select fastboot
5. connect phone usb
6. screen should now read fastboot usb in red
7. type fastboot oem lock
Phone might restart back into fastboot can't really remember but now you can run the RUU.
The RUU should be an .exe for the above

Ok you have made a very common mistake (that I have made once too, but then there was no ICS RUU, so I was forced to do some mumbo-jumbo) - not lowering your version, which is a must-have in the downgrade process
Anyway you have now much easier path now:
1) Run the ICS RUU
2) unlock the bootloader via htc-dev
3) flash a custom recovery
4) root it manually or with the AIO tool (temp root will not work)
5) lower your main version using the misc_version binary
6) relock the bootloader
7) run the RUU
8) disable the update check in the Settings, otherwise if upgraded the SC will spot the relocked bootloader
Good luck

I am afraid you are out of options. There is no way to lower your version without root.
If you are lucky and still have the custom recovery you can use the misc_version there (it has root). Otherwise you cannot flash anything with this version, only the ICS RUU. You cannot use Revolutionary again when your OS does not boot
EDIT: as I said I have made the same mistake and now my hardware buttons are almost broken and I cannot take it to a repair due to my Unlocked bootloader. But when you downgrade to 1.28.x or 1.47.x there is no "RELOCKED" flag shown in the booltoader screen. So if you keep the older version and do not update there is a chance that the SC will not check it.

Well as far as I remember the ICS RUU disclaimer says that it drops the warranty on the software side. If you have a hardware problem it should be acknowledged and repaired. But you have to recheck that.

Just flashed my phone back to stock and till now everything's working fine . ThanksYatin without your hard work it wouldn't have been possible for me to get back to original stock rom so a huge shout out to you . Now I just hope that there won't be any problem installing OTA updates later in the future when new sense 6 and android updates come out so fingers crossed about that .
@yatin kumar you should consider providing this ROM reset to @crushalot so that he can add it to his website , which will make it easier for people to find it.

Official RUU 6.21.605.3 EXE/ZIP

**IF you are looking for the RUU to downgrade while s-on to use sunshine you want the blue links below!***
Below is the official RUU. This zip can be flashed via fastboot/RUU mode or via SD card. It is NOT rooted. This will be especially useful for users who want to relock/s-on in order to sell or return their phone. Make sure you download to this software/firmware combo using my other pre-rooted version first!!!!! Once you have your bootloader locked and tamper flag cleared you can turn s on. Then you can flash this RUU to remove any/all traces of root. This ruu will NOT wipe internal storage or data. This RUU is NOT ROOTED!
If you use fastboot/adb method i recommend using this HTC version of fastboot/adb. It's taylored specifically for our phones by HTC. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001612150
Remember - You cannot downgrade firmware unless s-off!!!
Though you should be able to switch between the two 5.0.1 RUU while s-on!
Rename zip to 0P6BIMG.zip ***Make sure you don't add a 2nd .zip to the file name as windows 8 has file extensions for known file types hidden by default!** Depending on your current firmware level you may need to flash the official hboot download below using the same method as the RUU.
Option 1
For Marshmallow
Download DOTTAT_VZWM8_S_ON_6_0.exe and doubleclick. Allow file to extract and install dependencies and then follow on screen prompts.
For Lollipop
Download DOTTAT_VZWM8_S_ON_5.0.1_RUU.exe and doubleclick. Allow file to extract and install dependencies and then follow on screen prompts.
All others
Download DOTTAT_M8_444_S_ON_FUU.zip. Extract and double click on ARUwizard.exe. Follow prompts to update your phone.

}
Option 2
Copy 0P6BIMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32. No exfat! No internal storage! Must be external SD formated to fat32!
Reboot phone to bootloader and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.
Option 3
Fastboot RUU mode . This method assumes you have a working ADB/Fastboot directory on your PC. Download RUUish file and place in your working fastboot/adb directory. Boot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to PC. Issue the following commands.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
###while in this mode your phone will display an HTC logo on the screen
fastboot flash zip 0P6BIMG.zip
##while in this mode you will see an HTC logo on the screen and a green status bar across the bottom of the screen. When command output ##completes it may say reboot required to flush etc... if that's the case issue a "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and restart option 1 again.
example
## assuming flash completes and no further flushing/reboots are requested from the cmd output you can now reboot IF you simply wish to reboot the system you can issue "fastboot reboot" which will reboot system.
## expect a good 5 minute plus first boot!

I believe you have to downgrade first using the 4.4.2 pre-rooted stock ruu he had put put together. Then lock remove tampered flag and then s-on. Once there you can flash this official ruu.
This will land you on stock out of the box 4.4.2
Is this an actual Official RUU leak from HTC or is this something you compiled yourself?

Do you or anyone in the know sharing those steps more specifically? I'm about to undergo warranty screen replacement and need to get things back in shape to avoid dealing with HTC for rooting phone.
If I'm running stock 4.4.2 Clean Rom 8/17 I shouldn't need to downgrade, correct? From there I can run CMD commands and run this RUU, right?
TIA. I haven't kept up with this phone as I have in previous models, just trying to avoid a potential brick situation.
Quick question, I'm returning a 4.4.3 rooted CLNR device back to Big Red, should I RUU the hboot or full package file first? Many thanks!

Hboot as you will want to downgrade that.
so this RUU doesnt work like the ones on the M7 that were official...meaning any firmware, official signed RUU, would wipe, downgrade, and reinstall all in one? (Im not planning to relock/SON)
So to follow how this works
1. Flash @dottat 4.4.2 rooted RUU to downgrade back to 4.4.2
2. Flash the signed HBOOT from link above
3. Flash the official RUU from the link above

If you just wanted to downgrade from a stock Rom you could just simply do steps 2 and 3. They put a switch in the file to not wipe data so your data and apps would remain. An s off user who doesn't like the ota could downgrade that in one shot.
We tested it

Fantastic, thank you for the clarification
Does anyone know if I am on 4.4.2, if we need to downgrade anything, or if we can run the commands to lock bootloader, and enable s-on, then run the ruu file listed above?
Sorry for the almost double post. Trying to get this in order before my 10 days are up.

Downgrade first!!!!
I put the warning in the op you cannot downgrade once s on
If already 4.4.2 you are good as long as your firmware matches.

Forgive my noobie question, can you educate me on what I may possibly need to downgrade too or what I need to be checking for in sys info (or link me to correct downgrade file)? Searched your previous posts but couldn't seem to find the file your are talking about. I basically rooted the phone when I got it 5 months ago and left it as is. Never changed anything from out of box or updated to 4.4.3.
I don't think I need to downgrade anything, but always safe to compare after being away from xda for awhile.

As long as you are still stock and didn't flash any custom firmware beyond the 4.4.2 build you are fine. I put the extra caution out there because if you s on you cannot downgrade. I have a list of m7 users who went s on and somehow had no system installed. This ruu is the only public one which will flash if s on and only if you are at or below this software/firmware level.
I am about to return my m8 to Big Red also. I am on 4.4.3 firmware running Clean Rom and s-off. Do I need to downgrade first Or is that not needed since I am s-off? I was going to flash the RUU via fastboot, lock the bootloader, and then s-on the phone. Is that right? Leaving me stock with no flags?
Thanks in advance.

I would highly recommend you lock your boot loader and reboot. Verify its good. Then boot and go into su and do a full unroot. Then boot to boot loader and turn s on.

I forgot that I needed su to lock the bootloader. Will the RUU flash via fastboot with a locked bootloader?
