OTA_Ville_U_TMOUS_1.84.531.2-1.53.531.16_release_2651973pm4j0bopq68v1g1.zip

Here is a link to the OTA. I didn't want to apply it till some smarter fellas could dig into it and see what kind of damage it does, so hopefully this will speed that process up a little.
Do not flash this .zip, it's for developmental purposes. I just made it available because I received the OTA on my phone this morning and did not see it posted yet.

Epic thank you sir

You guys rock!!!

EDIT: Sorry that sounded really NEWBish... I am unrooted and am currently having an issue re-unlocking my bootloader to root.
Is there an RUU available that I might be able to flash?

I wouldn't flash it until it gets sorted out what's in it. It looks like the firmware.zip has a new h-boot (hboot_8960_1.09.0000_20120402_signedbyaa.img) so if they've patched some holes that were in the old one then flashing this might screw you if they get s-off on the previous h-boot.......I think

** this assumes that you have adb and fastboot in your PATH and that you know how to use them.
** this also assumes that you have some recovery.img file (named as such) saved in whatever directory you are running terminal commands from.
** this also assumes you are running linux. If all of the above conditions are met, the process should also be the same on Windows and OS X, but I have not tested that and cannot confirm that.
** this assumes that if you do not fully comprehend all of the above, that you will stop reading now. I am not responsible for any damage caused to your device by following these instructions.
Step 1: Find and download the following images from the 1.78.41.2 RUU: radio.img, wcnss.img, and adsp.img. Save them on your device's storage partition (/sdcard) named as listed here (** this assumes that if you use other names you also know how to adjust future commands).
Step 2: Boot your device into fastboot mode. Your choice of 'adb reboot bootloader' or manually powering down, booting to hboot, and selecting fastboot. (Future commands assume your device is plugged in to the computer at this point)
Step 3: On the computer, run: fastboot boot recovery.img
Step 4: Wait for your device to boot in to what looks like a normal recovery session. While it looks this way, it is not normal. In this recovery, you have the ability to do pretty much everything you can on an s-OFF device (flashing boot or other partitions, etc).
Step 5: This will depend on your recovery. Whatever the process is, make sure that your /sdcard partition is mounted (not mounting USB, but making the /sdcard partition readable to things like adb).
Step 6: On the computer, run:
adb shell
dd if=/sdcard/radio.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
dd if=/sdcard/wcnss.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19
dd if=/sdcard/adsp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Step 7: In the same recovery session, on the device, flash whatever 1.78-based ROM you like (Note: I have not seen ill effects using this on a 1.53-based ROM, but YMMV).
Step 8: Reboot. Enjoy.

This is from the radio thread i would assume, that it will work the same way. All those files are included in the OTA zip file. Thoughts?

Right now I just want to get my damn bootloader unlocked and I cant seem to figure out what is going on with it. I've done this a million times so its not that I dont know what im doing like all the others have accused me of, its simply an issue that the unlock token flashes fine but upon rebooting the bootloader is still relocked. Its driving me mad right now... I just want to flash an T-Mo RUU to get back to stock at this point.

go to the official ruu thread by football and download the tmous ruu from there... put your phone into fastboot usb mode and start the ruu.

Will that RUU overwrite a newer H-Boot?

I appreciate you trying to provide assistance. An RUU with a lower HBOOT will not overwrite a newer one so that option is not possible.
Thanks

how can this manually be applied? or is it even possible i know things have changed . but for w/e reason my phone still isnt seeing the ota and i've restored completely to stock with the offical ruu

Thanks guys, will try to update TrickDroid TMOUS ASAP

[Q] HTC One & Mini not recognized on pc in fastboot

Hi All
Now a proud owner of HTC One mini (uk) but am having issues trying to unlock bootloader, root and install custom rom.
for some reason my PC will not recognize my mini in fastboot mode . i have re installed the usb drivers and even tried to connect my wifes HTC one which i have previously rooted ...but it will not connect to either of the two.
I would be grateful if the community could offer a solution or advice, Thanks
oh forgot to say pc running windows 8.1
Edit: I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 on the portal. it has ADB,FASTBOOT and DRIVERS needed . Not tried it myself as reverted to windows 7 however, many users confirming that it works on win 8 & 8.1.
I hope this helps, any thanks is given to the developer "Snoop05" as i am just posting the link.
cheers

Search around to see if you can find a updated version? Let me explain to you how I did it. First, I unlocked my bootloader. Second, I downloaded the twrp and magiorom r3. Third hold shift and right click on the flashboot folder that you downloaded from htcdev and click on the open command window here. Rename you twrp to recovery. If your twrp file says img on it then try recovery.img, if not then type recovery. And on the cmd type flashboot flash recovery.img. Then you go back to bootloader and go to recovery and follow all the steps on the magiorom link. Don't forget to thank me. And btw, I didn't have to download any of those adb files. You root your phone when you have twrp. It'll ask you if you want to root. Say yes!!!!

Wiped N5 now NO OS! Have TWRP

Hello,
I meant to factory restore my rooted N5 and on the advanced TWRP option I chose wipe data. Now I have no OS. I'm not finding a guide on how to install the stock 4.4.2 onto my N5 using a Mac. Is there a process that shows how to do that exactly for a Mac?

Look in the general section and at the top is the guide you need to get sorted, good luck and dont panic you haven't killed it.

Afaik know you can`t sideload a stock image, only flash in fastboot. Correct me if i`am wrong though. OP can sideload a custom rom and from there return to stock or as @Pirateghost said just use the sdk to flash the image straight away.

Well, I have the Nexus Android Toolkit for oneclick root etc. I don't believe I have USB debugging "on" and I have no OS on the phone to set it to "on". The toolkit will not install the Stock rom is downloaded because is says there's a name mismatch. I choose the option to change name etc and install anyway and it just loops with the same mismatch issue.
Really frustrating. How do I download a .zip file of the rom so I can flash it. All I get are .tgz files when I download the stock rom.
Any ideas?

Download the factory image and extract with 7-zip and find a Mac flash.all command in the fastboot folder which you can select i guess. Haven`t had a Mac ever so no xperience. Make sure you have the following img files :radio, boot, bootloader, system.img zip, cache and userdata placed in the fastboot folder.

Marshmallow Rom that will update all??

I'm currently on Verizon Version :5.0.1 Software :4.17.605.5. Is there a Marshmallow Rom that I can flash that will update firmware and give me the security/stagefrieght patches that verizon put out months ago? I'm rooted and S-off.

You can run MM ROMs, yes. There is one from Santod040 that is based off HTC Sense, and one by enewman17 that is based off GPe (Google Play edition)
There is no MM firmware however, until HTC releases it to us.
You can flash the latest 4.17.605.9 LP firmware, and run those above said MM ROMs

Need more info then "it fails".
Exact error or issue you encounter.
Pasting the terminal input and output here would be most useful.
Hard to instruct you any further from what little info you gave.

I'm doing it from the phone and there's no way I can copy and paste the results..... I tried to take a screen shot but that wouldn't work either. It doesn't give a reason it just goes to install and fails. Not sure how to give more info?

You don't flash it in recovery...
It fails because you aren't following the instructions given...
Copied from Santods thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62734094&postcount=2
Place the zip in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.
Put the device in fastboot mode
(Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)
Connect the device to the computer
Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:
fastboot oem rebootRUU (this puts the device in RUU mode)
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (rename file to firmware.zip to make it simple/optional)
It will say that the update did not finish, to flush again, so repeat the above step:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Important: the flash process halts at around 75% to 90% on phone screen! This is normal and a safety precaution!
The last few percent is the reboot, which is NOT happening automatically, so you get a chance to check the console output before reboot to make sure it is safe to reboot!
The bar will only fill up to 100% once you type the following command:
fastboot reboot-bootloader (this reboots the device to bootloader)

Need help getting back to stock

So I was able to get twrp and pixel experience installed and liked, but it wouldn't work on my carrier, so I need to go back to stock. I did the info here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...e-to-root-magisk-and-return-to-stock.3914228/ and got the stock image and recovery installed, but cannot get the device back locked. Can anyone help?

FWIW: I got the latest stock rom from here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ali/official/RETAIL/

I just tried the most recent from the RETUS channel here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ali/official/RETUS/

Wait so when you try to lock the bootloader are you getting a warning that looks like this: "your device has a different operating system" I have same problem too and I'm not able to figure out.

I got that previously, but that was because I wasn't using the most recent image. Looks like on that page, the most recent is the one from 2020-07-28

which bat and image file(s)? be more specific plz. btw im on an unlocked version of RETUS so it might be different? or is it the same? it might be the same for us because yes it has to flash 11 images now instead of 10 from previous versions. also when i used the bat file you added for locking the bootloader it didnt work bc it still said flashing_unlocked down in the bottom and when i clicked start from the bootloader mode it was showing a white screen with lots of blue text that disappeared very quickly so i could not tell. please tell me unambiguously how to do it though.

nvm you didnt delete it but when i flashed that it just didnt lock the bootloader.

Make sure you have the 1925-6 version and grab this image: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
then grab this bat file: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/stock-ali-firmware-moto-g6.3792292/page-23#post-84059131
extract both to your fastboot directory.
Then launch cmd in admin mode and navigate to the fastboot directory. Then type adb devices to make sure your phone shows up, and then run the FLASH_OEM_LOCK.bat file. This is exactly what I did to my phone about a month ago. Same image and bat file.

No, that is why you are getting errors, just get the most recent one, 2020-05-27, is the most recent from here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/ali/official/RETUS/
I was getting the same operating system error you did. The bat file just processes and installs all the files from whatever image file you extract to the directory using adb.

Oh ok. So am I supposed to do it via adb or what? Please explain it step by step Bec I'm easily getting a little confused with what youre saying. Take your time so I can really understand.
