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?

What? You flashed the boot.img from a RUU and expected it to work with a custom ROM??
Why don't you just flash the boot.img that's included with the custom ROM...?

I’ve manage to boot in to trickDroid 4 (4.0.4) after couple of tries, the screen colors were inverted, sometimes only pink I guess we have to wait till the official update

Well, the update is out now but I can't flash it. When I re-lock the bootloader phone only boots to bootloader and I don't have the original optus ruu to install. I managed to wipe my backup so I'm stuck. Any chance to get that ruu file you have there?

Optus users, please check This RUU and report back.
It will work only on ICS HTC One S C2 though.
Relock your bootloader before running it.
If this one doesn't run, Get any Icecream Sandwich OTA.zip from This thread for One S (S3 version only), and flash it using method given in my signature. Just SKIP steps 11 to 16..
After you install the stock ROM, update via OTA to Jellybean and keep a nandroid backup.

Thank you very much khan.orak
The RUU was crushing on start (win7 64bit) so couldn't test it.
However, your guide worked perfectly and I'm now on JB.
If anyone wants the edited OTA.zip and the required files let me know and I'll upload it.

Can u upload it if possible plz? as i tried to do this method, i get status 7 error. i am currently on hboot 2.09.

Here you go mate:
Since I couldn't post an external link it's in the attachment.
Follow the instructions from step 12.
Step 14. Flashing the firmware.zip worked the second try for me
Step 22. I did flash the boot.img to make sure it will work since I don't think I had the original one.
Good Luck

[Q] HTC Sensation stuck with Android Kit-Kat after brick

Hello,
I have a HTC sensation, that i started rooting and install a custom rom - Kitkat from sultanxda.
All worked perfectly, only that one day i wanted to make a sim unlock, because it was locked in Vodafone Romania.
By mistake, i am not an expert, i've used the comand: fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
After this i've got my phone bricked...
I've found Unbriking projet on xda, and with a Linux I have managed on unbriking.
The problem is that now i have S-ON, and i cannot install another ROM, it works only with the ROM that wass installed before bricking.
I cannot get S-off, i have tried Juopunutbear method, but its not working, says to connect the device, and install drivers...
I have tried a lot of method's, i've tried installing a stock RUU, without luck...
I guess that i have to modify my firmware or hboot version, but as I was saying, i am no expert.
I can provide more information, if anyone can help me.
thanks

since it is unlocked you can still flash kitkat rom
just follow step 2 from this guide(flashing a recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
then from 4ext format all partitions except sdcard
enable smartflash(because now you are on S-ON)
flash the rom
but if you still want to use the ruu.exe you must have to relock your bootloader first

then from 4ext format all partitions except sdcard

HTC One S Bricked HBOOT 2.13

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to return the Mrs' HTC One S back to stock but I seem to have bricked it instead!
The phone is running HBOOT 2.13 and RADIO is 1.11.50.05.28 and S-ON.
To return it to stock I relocked the bootloader and then attempted to run RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4.exe
Unfortunately I got the 131 error and now the phone is left without a ROM and only boots into the bootloader.
How do I fix the phone? I believe I need to find the correct RUU but for the life of me I can't seem to find one that works...
The phone is simlocked to T Mobile UK.
Thanks for your help guys!!
Robbie

First you must instal Htc One S Ville Europe 2.31.401.5
Instal Europe_3.16.401.8, after 2.31.401.5

Trying to install 6.0.1 dev edition

Hi there been a while since I've flashed stuff on htc devices and i'm trying to get dev edition 1.55.617.4 rooted odex rom on my device, i'm s-off and super cid rom installs but won't boot, i'm presuming its boot. Img or firmware related? Just after info if I extract boot. Img and firmware from the rom and flash separately will this solve the issue and will it remove twrp?
Currently on dev edition 1.12.617.6 CL639737

Change the SUPER CID to BS_0001, install the original RUU from: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_HIA_AERO_UL_M60_SENSE7GP_ATT_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.56.617.1.exe, then proceed to install the TWRP and Root with Windroid.

Hi there it won't let me change the CID to what you've stated above it says invalid, also the link i think is for the ATT version, i'm in europe so believe i need the GSM version ?
I can change the CID to HTC__001 for example but not what you've quoted...
Really struggling to get my phone updated to 6.0.1 i've only had it a few days tried numerous methods but not getting anywhere fast I thought if i was S-off and Super CID you could pretty much flash anything as long as it was for your correct phone model ?
Hence me presuming my issue was more boot.img and recovery.img related ?
I downloaded the official Dev edition RUU from the HTC Dev download section but that won't install either...
Getting confused i'm sure i'm probably missing a pretty easy step somewhere...

I think you have the wrong forum ?

Got it sorted in the end, changed the info.txt file in the firmware to suit the phone, even though it said it failed when installing the firmware it had actually installed and then the 6.0.1 dev edition rooted rom installed... Happy days...
So i'm not sure if the Mid or Cid was the issue but either way when i changed the info.txt file to suit it worked...
