Partial Noob Q(HTC Evita) Ruu selection and usuage issues - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Goodevening,
I know my question may have been probably answered in other posts but I find most of the replies confusing hence I want to ask my questions accordingly and hope this wonderful community grant me answers accordingly
My details are
**Locked**
Evita_UTL PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-1111111
HBOOT-2.10.0000
Radio-3.12.38.00.24
0penDsp-v33.1.0.45.11.28
eMMC-boot
Build no:5.08.111.2 cl227463release-keys
Running viperxl 4.2.0
Twrp 3.1. Custom recovery
All through my time flashing custom roms I have never paid attention to my hboot version (i flash mainly viper roms that's why). The only time I did was on my HTC sensation and that was using the pg32...zip file which was automatically detected by the bootloader.
However on my evita device, the bootloader does not scan for zip files(which I think is due to the lack of a removable sd)
I attempted flashing cm 12 and 12.1 partion mod and snapshot roms as unwanted to upgrade to lollipop and nougat (cm 14) they all failed
I skipped the hboot warning using my attitude to sense roms and attempted to flash , it never went through from hboot warnings to evitax schemes and twrp modified for such. Going to the ruu thread even added to more confusion as I can't identify the appropriate 3.18 ruu file for my device
I am really afraid and confused especially after I bricked my HTC my touch4g some years back attempting to flash a ruu file
My questions are
1. Can someone direct me to the appropriate 3.18 ruu file for my device using my details above.
2. I heard flashing a ruu file clears sdcard,custom recovery etc , since I am running a custom Rom ,will the Rom be affected in any way (will it still boot).
3. Am a novice as regards adb and fastboot all my roms have always been manually flashed (thanks to twrp manager). Is there manual means of flashing the ruu file?, if not can I get concise instructions on how to flash via adb as well relevant downloads.
4.how do 1 flash the twrp that supports evitax scheme.
5. Is there a possibility of the existence of a lollipop sense Rom for HTC evita even if it is modded by an individual on any site (like kosta26 still does for HTC sensation of the vipers thread) please point me to it. (even a viper xl mod is appreciated)
6. Any other helpful suggestion will be well appreciated.
Thankyou very much , I anticipate your concise replies

It seems after using cid getter that I have found out that my cidlist is T-MOB101
Modelid is pj8311000 and project is Evita_UL_JB_50_S all pointing to
T-Mobile/Deutsche Telekom Germany (CID: T-MOB101; MID: PJ8311000)
But my hboot still has evita utl
Am confused please can someone answer my questions.
Always known this forum to be vibrant

please can someone just be kind enough to answer my questions
cc m0nax, turge, j to the 4n etc

Can someone please help me here, a few minutes of your time won't kill please

[Q] HTC Desire S to Stock Rom

Hi I am new to these things and my brother messed up my phone.
HTC Desire S Unbranded (Purchased in UK)
Unlocked
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
Aud 22, 2011
Unlocked through HTCDev
Currently I have a custom ICS rom installed. All I want is a way to revert to Stock 2.3.3 Rom or 2.3.5 Rom so that I can receive OTA updates.
I have read my many ways on Xda but can't figure out which one is for me. I am new to this field hence need help.
1. find the correct RUU for your phone(a WWE version i think is what you need or use a goldcard)
2. lock your bootloader. fastboot oem lock
3. run the RUU

I have read about Gold Card procedure, just want to clarify that if I back to stock with Goldcard method will than I be able to get OTA updates?
2ndly how can I find a WWE version for Desire S?
Sorie but I am not much into these things so dont wanna mess it up, thats why asking before applying and in ur opinion which method will be easy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506 - you can find all the available RUU's here. Eventually you can google the name of the file to find faster mirrors.
I really can't answer the OTA update question, but i think you can.
Try to read/search the forums, i mentioned this earlier, i don't think there's a problem undiscussed in here.
You can try to find your CID number (fastboot getvar all) and try to find the appropiate RUU, but i think WWE is what you are looking for
If you want to flash back to stock, I don't think you can the the updates because it is s-off I tried it but I rooted it via revolutionary. Nit sure if it the same with the htc dev unlock but it just stuck to a picture of a phone with a /!\ on top and it didn't update to sense 3.5
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA
There was never an update to Sense 3.5 to begin with.
You WILL get all updates if you revert to stock, no matter if S-ON or S-OFF.
Personally I think it's a complete waste of time, and I don't understand the authors of zillion "return to stock" threads lately. The stock ROM will be laying on XDA for download long before the OTA will reach most of them.
Yeah I mean sense 3 but I did go to my backup of my stock Rom and tried the update, it installed but I think it was because I was using cwm recovery but it didn't work no matter how many times I tried

[Q] so many things, so insecure

So, i have updated my phone ota by htc so that now i have hboot 1.29 and ics installed with sense 3.6
I have no wifi/bluetooth anymore (MAC adres missing and bluetooth ID missing), so i was thinking in installing a custom rom/kernel whatever necessary to get my phone working properly again.
I think i read all the big guides and tutorials to be found in the sensation forum here. :good:
But that made me even more insecure.
What is it with the tools like the super utility from kgs1992, or the all-in-one toolkit.
i find threads about S-off, Super CID root, dev unlock and so on.
so, maybe someone here can give me one clear answer what i need to do in what order to exactly get my phone in a custom rom (let's say elegancia sense 4.1 themed?)
question one, what should i do first and what next?
first unlock over HTC dev (this i also a factory reset, isn't it?)
S-off (wire trick) (there are enough video's in youtube i guess)
then flash/install recovery (which one?)
Is this all correct?
at this point, am i rooted? and if not what comes next?
So what then? customrom? (how, what)? perm root? super cid? what do i need in what order?
in more than one place i read about rom as a file with the extension .img. But the elegancia download is a zip file.
what about the super tool, there they talk about a kernel, not a rom to flash.
And what about radio, is that a total different game? or is flashing a custom rom doing the interface, the kernel AND the radio in one go?
I hope i don't ask to much from anyone. I know there is a LOT of tutorials to be found already, but they are not all the same and often written to cover all versions and stuff. I can't see through all these things and hope to get some confidence by asking for my specific situation. :angel:
I'll try to explain stuff briefly ..hoping that it will solve other confusions too
well here it goes ...
1. First...Sensation by default is completely locked device (internal memory is locked )..so to either root the phone or run a custom rom ..you need to first unlock it.
2. Remember rooting the device and running custom rom are different
rooting: by doing this you will have complete control of the rom you are running be it stock or custom rom (its like administrative privileges in WIndows 7)
custom rom: this is changing the rom itself (like changing the OS From windows 7 to linux on PC )...and all custom roms comes pre rooted ..so once you flash/install a custom rom no need to root it again
3. Now The unlock procedure can be done in two different ways
3.1. HTC-DEV unlock : a process provided by HTC itself to support rooting of devices and running custom roms
(its a semi unlock...confused? will explain the difference later ..read on )
3.2. S-OFF: it means Security-off ..which implies unlocking the device completely (complete internal memory is unlocked)
S-OFF in turn has couple of ways to achieve it
3.2.1 S-OFF using revolutionary...It will only work on old bootloaders ..i.e. upto 1.18 HBOOT/BOOTLOADER (to put it simply it's for the sensation devices on gingerbread version of Android I.e. 2.3 version)
3.2.2 S-OFF using juopunutbear ..it will unlock even the current hboots (1.27/1.29 etc etc) (this method is primarily for sensation devices on ICS version of Android I.e. 4.0)
This juopunutbear inturn has two more ways
3.2.2.1. using juopunutbear after doing HTC-DEV unlock ..this process wipes the phone (because of HTC-DEV unlock) but the wire-trick (most imp step) is easier
(why juopunutbear ..if you already unlocked your device using HTC-DEV ? ..explained later ..read on )
3.2.2.2. using juopunutbear without HTC-DEV unlock required ..this process is harder at wire-trick part (comparatively)​
4. Difference between HTC-DEV unlock and S-OFF:
to explain this ..I'll try to give a pictorial representation of Sensation Device
Sensation as a whole has different partitions (or blocks ) ..so the whole device can be divided like this
Recovery --------firmware--------ROM (or OS)
Recovery: its a recovery mode ..the name says it all ..we change/tweak/modify rom from here ..(remember only ROM ..not firmware)
eg: stock recovery, 4EXT recovery, CWM recovery, TWRP recovery etc etc (the later 3 are custom recoveries for flashing
custom roms
Firmware: all the lowest level stuff comes here ...typically bootloader, radio etc etc
we flash/install Recovery and stock ROMS from bootloader.
stock roms are ..called RUU's (Rom Update Utility) and are provided by HTC ...they are in .exe format and the actual stock ROMS are extracted from the RUU which will be in "img" format
ROMS: the actual custom/stock rom comes here ..this typically has three partitions/areas
1. data partition: all your apps/app data and all the phone data you eneter goes here
when you factory reset your device this partition is erased so that phone gets resetted to factory state
2. system partition: all the system apps and system stuff will lie here
(in case of carrier locked Sensation ..like T-Mobile all the T-Mobile junk apps reside here)
this area is locked in general ..rooting typically means getting this region unlocked ..so that you can change
anything in the rom
3. boot partition: your kernel lies here along with other stuff (this region is responsible for the phone to boot)​ Now it should be obvious that Radio aka a part of Firmware wont be there in a custom ROM and typical custom roms comes in zip format
Now HTC-DEV process only unlocks Recovery and ROM partitions (which are more than enough for installing custom roms or rooting)
This way of unlocking is safer as tinkering with Firmware is not really needed and if mistakes were made in changing the firmware the device can get bricked permanently.
but SOFF provides unlock on every partition of the Device ..thus complete unlock..thus more ease also more risks
Now the big question -> why SOFF needed if HTC-DEV is safer ?
Reasons:
1. Firmware and Rom partitions are dependent ..to be more clear
Ginger Bread (GB) firmware (1.17 firmware) ..supports only GB roms ...ICS or above roms wont boot
and
ICS firmware(3.32/3.33 firmware) ...supports only ICS and above ROMS (Jelly Bean(JB) roms are supported too )
thus if you do HTC-DEV unlock when on Ginger Bread you can only boot GB custom roms as you can't change/modify firmware over HTC-DEV unlock.
if you did HTC-DEV unlock over ICS rom..you are good to go with all the latest ICS/JB custom roms
2. Flashing/installing ROM from custom recovery with HTC-DEV unlock...requires an extra step...and if that extra step is not done ..phone wont boot (literally around 90% threads in Q&A section are about this problem as people didn't knew about the extra step )
3. some people require a change in radio ..to improve phone/data signal which isn't possible if you did just HTC-DEV unlock (as radio is part of firmware )​
Another question that might come to your mind... What is the advantage of rooting the device on stock rom ..before installing a custom rom?
Answer:
people might say ..why root the device before installing custom rom when the custom rom comes pre-rooted
well here is the answer ..."to backup your phone and its data"
Remember this when installing a custom rom ..you need to wipe the phone(all the internal memory ..sdcard wiping is not needed) ..thus you will lose all data
but before wiping if you root the phone..you can backup all the user apps and its data ..also call logs, messages/MMS, wifi access points, bluetooth pairings. contatcs etc etc to your sdcard using a root app (an app which requires root permission to work ) ...and once you install the custom rom ..you can restore all the backup
..(makes things easier ..isn't it ? )​
5. Miscellaneous terms:
Supercid:
CID -> carrier identification ..its a 8 characterterm used in the device to identify the proper Firmware or stock rom (RUU ..remember?)
as sensation is a global device ..there are different variants of firmware and stock Roms which are uniquely identified by this cid ..
eg: T-Mobile US locked sensation has CID: T-MOBO10, europe unbranded sensation has cid HTC__001 etc etc
so when flashing firmware/stock rom ..you need to find the proper one based on your phone cid ....
but if you do a supercid (i.e changing CID to 11111111) ..you can flash any firmware/stock rom (in form of RUU )
supercid can only be done ..over SOFF and wont/might not work over HTC-DEV unlock
also now there are Universal Firmwares ..aka Firmwares which can be flashed over ( SOFF) device having any CID ..thus Supercid is now kinda obsolete
hoping that things are clear now ..
few threads that are much detailed
1. "flashing roms while SON" by askickar in sensation general section ...(which explains flashing rom with just HTC-DEV unlock together with the extra step needed (remember ?) )..thread here
2. SOFF process threads ...for soff with HTC-DEV unlock ..thread here
3. SOFF without HTC-DEV unlock ...look in my signature for the thread
4. General way of flashing ROMS with Firmware flashing ..with ARHD Rom as reference...by joaquinf ..thread here
Happy flashing
Damn! now that is an explanation! Really really thanks for that! :victory:
I learned to always give feedback in your own words to check if you understood everything correctly.
If it is only for changing the 'interface'/running system part of the phone (that's called a ROM ), i can do with devunlock and flash a recovery, then flash a custom rom that is compatible for my version
(android 4.0.3 ICS/htc 3.6 sofware build 3.33.401.154/hboot 1.2900/kernel 3.0.16)
so any rom that has version 3.33 i can use it.
i don't need S-off per sé. (correct?)
doing above is already rooting, because i get (partially) access (or full access when S-off) to otherwise locked part of the system.
i have to flash a recovery to get influence when installing a new rom. so that means i NEED to flash a recovery to the phone before i flash a rom?
in short for my situation:
1. Do devunlock.
2. flash a recovery.
3. flash a custom rom to my phones specs as above.
so before or after step 1 i CAN do S-off using juopunutbear and the wiretrick
The easiest way to do all above is using the 'sensation all in one kit'
super CID i don't need, perm root is also optionally what can do as in the super tool kit is offered
But my fear is that the mac adres/wifi and bluetooth problems are from the 'lower level' of the system called firmware/kernel. (correct? or will flashing any custom rom already help me with solving my hardware part of the problems on the phone? besides giving me a much newer and cleaner installation with lot's of nice things, of course)
Main question still is? will a custom rom solve my wifi and bluetooth problems, or do i need more than above?
and ps, where does superswipe fit in all this? i read it's needed for instance at some versions of elegancia.
WOW Ganesh,what are you on?
@klimpetje
Wifi and bluetooth are on the "Radio" level.
Use an app from the market called "Getril"
This will show if you have the best radio/ril combination for your area.
Custom ROM MAY solve this problem.
Do not use "Superwipe" scripts.
Install 4 EXT recovery,and use the "Format all partitions (except sd card)"
doing above is already rooting, because i get (partially) access (or full access when S-off) to otherwise locked part of the system.

this ..is partially true ...once you do SOFF/HTC-DEV unlock ..the system partition can be unlocked ..and to actually make it unlock ..you need root

Click to collapse
the wifi and bluetooth modules are part of the ROM and drivers are part of radio ..so flashing CUSTOM ROM might/might not solve the issue
the chances of drivers getting corrupted are less ..as those areas are locked even when the OTA was applied...so custom ROM might solve your issue
superwipe -->as malybru said "not needed "..use the inbuilt wipe options present in recovery (this is done ..before flashing custom rom )

Nice guide ganeshp!
@ganeshp
Wow, that was really a nice and quick, yet thorough explanation! Cudos for being so helpful!
I was just wondering, is there any good reason to upgrade firmware after having S-OFF, custom recovery and flashed a working JB ROM?
Actually, I don't even know which firmware I have, but my last stock ROM before going custom was ICS.
My bootloader says:
Code:
=JuopunutBear=
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1111
RADIO-11.22.3504.07_M
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131
eMMC-boot
Jan 13 2012, 17:33:34
I can't really figure out which firmware it is - wasn't it supposed to be either 3.32 or 3.33?
PS: I'm currently on Paranoid v.21.

based on the radio ..you have i can safely say that the firmware is 3.32
but to confirm it ..the output of this command gives you the firmware
(the command should be typed in PC ..by opening the terminal where the adb/fastboot files are there ...with phone connected to PC from bootloader (phone says FASTBOOT USB if connected properly ))

the only difference between 3.32fw and 3.33fw is radio upgrade
but you can check your fw version by doing this:
from bootloader connect your device to pc
open a command prompt and do
fastboot getvar version-main
then it will show you your firmware version
Thanks guys
My version is apparently 3.24.401.1.
I wonder if an upgrade will improve stability/performance.
Would you recommend following this guide, or should I just stay with the current version?
*edit*
I think I might give this a shot
Firmware information thread
The guy says something about most people reporting their devices to become noticeably faster after flashing.

the only difference between 3.32fw and 3.33fw is radio ugrade
but in order to flash the latest ARHD rom probably requires 3.32 or 3.33(not so sure maybe it boots with 3.24 otherwise flash a higher fw version)
Great succes! :good:
I installed universal firmware 3.33.
Wouldn't boot ROM, so I used recovery to wipe cache, dalvik and battery stats, then reflash Paranoid v.21.
Works like a charm! Lightning fast

Really good stuff Ganeshp, wish I'd come across this earlier it's just what one needs when you enter this world fun trying to piece together all the terms being banded around. A huge time saver to have the 'glossary' and explanations in one place allowing the research time to go to the meat of the matter rather than sorting out the confusion that naturally occurs when starting up.

you have to flash the boot.img of a rom if you are s-on
must also be rooted.
1. plug phone into pc
2. mount sdcard in twrp
3. copy rom to your computer
4. extract boot.img
5. reboot to bootloader (also done in twrp)
6. highlight "fastboot" and press power and the phone should say "Fastboot USB"
7. open a command promt (type cmd into search box on windows7) and cd to your adb/fastboot folder
8. type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
9. reboot to recovery and install your rom
10. reboot system when done
if you arent rooted, use the toolkit in the development area and root.
What ROM are you trying to install? If it's any recent aosp your current hboot version is the problem. All current aosp ROMs require the 2.14 hboot which you can get by running the 3.18 RUU. S-off is highly recommended, if you run a jb RUU with SuperCID and s-on your phone will brick.
Sent from my Evita
I am trying to get cm10.2. so should my first step right now be getting the 3.18 RUU or getting s-off?
Ok, first, please read the instructions of any ROM you're going to flash, it's stated very clearly in the cm10.2 thread that an update is needed before flashing the ROM. One of the most important rules of XDA is to search before posting, proper searching limits the amount of unnecessary threads.
Get s-off first, if you don't already have SuperCID you will need that in order to get s-off. Use the hex edit method to get SuperCID, then you can get s-off in the Facepalm S-off thread. Your best bet to go through this process is to temporarily flash a Sense ROM, any Sense 4 Android 4.1 ROM should be fine. Once all that's done you can run the 3.18 RUU, then flash TWRP recovery again and flash CM.

thanks timmaaa!!! I need to head out right now but will try it asap! I apologize for not searching before asking but my phone was stuck on ICS and I thought it would be hopeless to install a custom rom.
got super cid and soff!
ok i got both super cid and soff. so my next step is to flash a sense 4.1 rom correct? any suggestions?
edit: i downloaded RageXL so do i just flash in twrp?
No you don't need to do that, I meant you should try a 4.1 ROM in order to get s-off. If you have SuperCID and s-off now you can go ahead and run the RUU.

Not sure how you got that notion. Its actually a bit easier to mod older firmware versions, due to the fact that HTC keeps plugging the various exploits with successive (newer) firmware builds.
There is currently no firmware version for this device that would leave you "stuck" not being able to flash custom ROMs.

Cannot s-off t-mob102

Hi guys,
so happy to be a part of this community!
My HTC One S is unlocked, rooted and S-ON:
CID: T-MOB102
HBOOT: 2.15
I'm currently using MaximusHD 10.0 (though I couldn't make the firmware upgrade because I'm not S-OFF).
I'm creating this thread because none of the currently opened ones covers my case. I wanted to S-OFF earlier and tried Facepalm but could not get superCID (as far as I know this is because of the write protection), so this method didn't work for me. Moonshine I think will not work also, because I'm not using a stock ROM. ( From the Moonshine instructions: 8. Use the matching Stock RUU, some stock based ROMs may work, but we cannot test them all.)
Before flashing MaximusHD 10.0 I've made a backup of my original 4.1.1 ROM that came with the device with the custom recovery (TWRP 2.4.3.0 as far as I can remember). Unfortunately when I try restoring from backup my device is in a bootloop.
Can you please advise how to obtain S-OFF so that I can enjoy the MaximusHD?
Please accept my apologies if this is not the right place for this thread.

No, unfortunately I could not find stock RUU for TMOBA devices
If you need stock ruu go to www.htc.com and select your device and download the file for this file to work you need your bootloader to be lock stock or relocked. and just run the ruu and it shold work..
so you dont have any problems enter fastboot and make sure it says fastboot usb and than run ruu and it should put your phone to stock. I just did this with my phone.
Are you refering to the downloads at htcdev because I couldn't find anything else?

anything i've left out or can leave out? thanks in advance
Also is it worth switching to twrp? i figure it's unnecessary...
