When you have the RUU, run it without a device first. When the first window of the RUU opens, drag it to the side of your screen, open Explorer and search your windows drive for "rom.zip". When you find it copy it to another location and close the RUU window.
Open rom.zip archive and you will find a file called "android-info.txt" open it and see if your cid is listed there. If it is present you can flash this RUU safely.

Yep, it's in there. Thank you guys!

Conversely, that should mean that I can use the Vodafone UK RUU RUU_Saga_Vodafone_UK_1.32.161.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.15_M_release_179398_signed.exe to downgrade my Vodafone DE Desire S (Android 2.3.5, Hboot 2.00.0002, Software 2.10.161.5) using this method here? - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20535265&postcount=26

What is the significance of HBOOT Preupdate? All the RUUs have a Preupdate value 13, my phone has a Preupdate value of 12. That doesn't matter probably?

Thanks for your help, but it's not there. Is there any way to restore DS without this RUU? It's bootloader unlocked, rooted, has the custom recovery. unfortunately the "misc version" was not uploaded in adb mode, thus I cannot change the main version, to be able to downgrade it. But since the main version is "too high" (2.10.161.5) and there is no adb mode and I dont have the original RUU there is nothing to do. Is it possible somehow to change the main version in fastboot???? I think this would be the only chance without the the ruu.

Try this site http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Saga

Guess you forgot to fastboot flash boot boot.img
Also, why would you need a RUU anyway? You can still enter recovery, can't you? Heck, of course you can: even if you couldn't you could always fastboot flash recovery recovery.img a working one.
I fail to see why a RUU would be necessary here.

Thanks for your help, but I dont really understand what u say..... Right now there is clockwork 5.0.2.0 on it, we tried to install custom roms, which seemed to be done, but the phone stops at HTC logo after flashing. I guess I could flash back the original recovery (actually I only have one from RUU 1.32.161.1), but how would it solve my problem? How about the other image files, like system, hboot etc? Please exlain it to me a bit more detailed! Thx

Lets see again: bootloader unlocked, cwm 5.0.2.0 installed, as you adviced I flased an official 1.32.161.1(older than the original 2.10.161.5) boot.img, then tried to install from recovery the custom rom, which still seems to be ok, but the phone freezes at htc logo during boot. This custom rom is a well known working version, there shouldnt be any problem. What else can I do without the RUU?

[Q] Help!! Issue installing CM10

Hello forum,
I was trying to install CM10 onto my AT&T HTC One X and am stuck.
I had TWRP on my phone and said that the installation process failed.
After that I hit reset to factory setting.
All I can do not is open the HTC Intro screen and will automatically turn itself on if you power it off.
Other than that I can open HBOOT and that is about it.
Please help. I don't care what OS I use, I just want my phone to work, whether it is ICS or CM10, whichever is easiest to reach from my point.
Other than this, my PC and Mac don't seem to detect my HTC One X in the Computer panel (or Finder), but my phone says that Fastboot USB is connected.
Guys, I am sorry for being a noob, but am worried I have done many wrong steps.
Please help me fix this mess.
Thank you.

Cool Down ... Do not worry
1)Tell me which firmware are you on ? 1.85 or 2.20 and did you root your phone ?
2) So from what you wrote "Your struck the HTC intro screen"? Correct ?
3) You said you see HBOOT ? what does it says like 1.14 or something
Provide above information and people can help you here

Okay. So:
1) The firmware is 2.20.
2) The phone can go to the intro screen and will sit there until you power it off. Nothing happens, I waited a 40 some minutes and nothing happened at the intro screen. The only thing I can access is HBOOT and the Intro screen.
3) HBOOT is 1.14. 0002

Hmm.. same issue.. see other threads.. you need to extract and flash boot.img from ROM.zip separately( through fastboot) when you flash any rom.. and if the installation process itself fails.. try downloading ROM.zip again.. check md5 and ensure it matches.. then flash

ok do the following
1)Connect your phone to your pc
2) Boot in Bootloader ( i.e where you see HBOOT)
3) Now you can see "FASTBOOT USB"
4) Extract boot.img from ROM you downloaded ( here it is CM10 - Unzip and copy boot.img and paste it in folder that contains fastboot )
4) Goto the folder where pasted boot.img and fasboot exists ( Assuming you have it on pc - if not download from here) and open command prompt in it (Or open command prompt and change directory (cd) to the folder where fastboot and boot.img exits )
5) In command prompt enter the following command fastboot flash boot boot.img and press enter
6) Now flash the ROM and enjoy
Read this post - IF your on HBOOT 1.14 (firmware 2.20) first flash boot.img then flash ROM

Help with HTC Desire S (bricked)

OK, need a bit of help with a Desire S that can only get to HBOOT screen (vol down + power) otherwise it's just a white HTC screen.
Phone is S-ON. HBOOT 0.98.002.
I've tried Revolutionary.io's guide to convert to S-OFF but I just get 'Waiting for Device'. Tried uninstalling HTC drivers then installing again without luck, disabling firewall and AV, still no luck. Kinda given up on that front.
Trying 'fastboot devices', device is recognised, but if I try to flash a recovery ROM from fastboot I get an 'out of memory' error.
I don't know if USB debugging is enabled or not (how can I tell & enable from HBOOT if not)?
I thought about going via HTCDEV and their method, but my HBOOT is at the wrong version (can I upgrade it to V 2.000.2?)
I'm really running out of options now....anything else I can try??? HELPPPP!

Run htc ruu exe file and don't close the windows, find rom.zip in windows temp folder, rename it to PG88IMG.zip ale copy to sdcard. Turn on your phone in hboot mode, rom will be flashed automaticaly.
Or just go to fastboot mode in hboot and then run RUU, should work if you have bootloader locker (relocked).

I couldn't open that, but thanks.
sorry, but I'm really not getting this. I'm looking for a RUU to flash a recovery ROM. When I went to HTC dev, there were all the ROMs for all the different carriers. I don't know what mine is. I tried downloading one for Vodafone, unzipped and searched for RUU.exe but there isn't one.
I need to get to this RUU.exe but dont know how.:crying:

what is a recovery ROM? anyway, people over here at the DS forum has already extracted the radio, Hboot and ROM of official ICS. search around...
Sent from my supercharged :tank:

I had a bit of progress. I downloaded the latest 4.0 RUU util from HTC Dev, ran it, extracted the ROM.zip and renamed it to PG88IMG.zip, copied it up to the SD card, rebooted the phone into FASTBOOT and the phone recognised it and started installing.
Wahey, I thought, that's it I've cracked it, but then it gets stuck on Updating the bootloader. Stuck for nearly an hour. Tried twice and different SD cards...same thing.
Is this because I'm still S-ON and bootloader is locked, or do you think my internal memory is fried?

Absolutely irrelevant. He's not flashing anything himself, he's executing RUU which can flash everything.

OK, so how do I enable USB debugging if I can only get into HBOOT? Is there a FASTboot or ADB command that can do it? I think that's what's stopping Revolutionary.

No, your phone is rooted. It has an unlocked bootloader. The problem with fastboot erase cache is it formats cache the wrong way. Just go into your custom recovery and format cache and you should be good.

Sent from my evita

did you flash the kernel separate since you're still s-on?

Download a ROM onto your pc. Download TWRP 2.6 recovery from here. Put it in your fastboot folder. Use the following fastboot commands:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-evita.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Go into recovery on phone, mount usb storage, copy a ROM from PC onto phone. Flash ROM from install menu. Reboot to bootloader. Extract boot.img from copy of ROM still on pc and put it in your fastboot folder, flash it using this command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Enjoy.
PS. Don't post your problems twice in different locations please.
PPS. Do some research so you actually know what you're doing before you attempt to do anything else to your phone. Don't get any information from anywhere except this forum on XDA, other sites do not distinguish very well between our phone and the Endeavoru.

I relocked the bootloader should i unlock it again or relock it?

Why did you relock the bootloader? That's the opposite of what you want to do. Stop trying random things. You need to unlock it again now, and follow the instructions I posted above.

If you are currently on OS 4.17.605.9 you can downgrade to 4.17.605.5 while s-on by using a signed RUU.
Why might one need this? Perhaps a sunshine app update will support it? Dunno
This will NOT wipe your phone.
Option 1
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.
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
- (use this fastboot https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001612150 )
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!

Will this allow HTCDEV.com to work?

No. This just downgrades you from 4.17.605.9 to 4.17.605.5. It does not change your CID to one allowed by HTCdev.com

Quick question from a noob:
You say in the post that this will NOT delete data from the device. But the RUU tool ReadMe has a giant, bold red warning that says "Installing the ROM Update Utility (RUU) will delete ALL information and data on your Android phone."
So... which is it? Will the tool wipe the device or not?

Somehow when he ran the RUU on his device, it wiped my device. Thanks for nothing :/

Hello, after exhaustive novice efforts and following the link rabbit hole, I'm here. I have a Verizon HTC One M7 on lollipop 5.0.2. I'm bootloader locked, s-on and of course not rooted. I tried this thread to no success http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...root-root-method-bl-unlock-5-0-x-ota-t3122099. That thread deals with kingroot and Sunshine. It looks like I need to get to temproot for Sunshine to work.
This thread looks like it's using downgrading to get to a point where one can attain temproot which will enable Sunshine to run? - that is if I'm understanding correctly.
Will this work for an M7? It looks like it's for an M8.
Is there any other hope for a locked, s-on, unrooted M7 at this point? THANK YOU for what you do.

You need to be S-0ff to downgrade to an earlier version.

Boot phone into fastboot mode and restart the EXE.

Used Fastboot Method
I tried the exe method and it kept getting stuck. I switched over to the Fastboot method and the flash of the ZIP file failed. Tried this twice and it failed both times. I'm S-On with a Verizon M8 (5.0.1). I'm trying to downgrade to root and while I've seen several sites say it couldn't be done, your post gave me a small bit of hope.
Let me know if you have any ideas. Gracias.
