HTC U11+ cannot flash RUU to get to stock so I can apply OTA - HTC U11+ Questions & Answers

Hello there.
I have got another problem once again with getting my phone into stock.
I have the HTC u11 + from Taiwan, it's on 1.24.709.93.
So before I had Magisk installed and Unlocked bootloader. It modified my bootloader and then an update came up the update 1.24.709.994. So I wanted to update to it because it's annoying that it just pops up every now and then with a popup. So at first I tried to install it via normal ways by just clicking it to install it. It didn't work, it just went up to 25% when it was trying to install and then the Red exclamation mark came up. I know you can't install an OTA if you bootloader is modified. I got the 1.24.709.93 boot.img and flashed it over fastboot and then it successfully flashed it.
So I downloaded the RUU 1.24.709.93.rar one and then changed the name to 2Q4DIMG.zip then I put it into my sd card. I boot up to my download mode and press the VolUp and start flashing the 2Q4IMG.zip file. But I keep getting the 22_RU_Header_ERROR, 22_RU_Header_ERROR, FAIL22 RU_HEADER_ERROR. I don't understand why.
Can I get some help please?
Thank you very much for reading this.

The company HTC has never released its firmware in rar format. What you downloaded is a repackaging of the firmware files. Try to flash it was not worth it. The original RUU should only be a zip and signed with the appropriate key. For example 2Q4DIMG_OCEAN_M_DUGL_O80_SENSE90gp_htc_asia_tw_1.24.709.93_Radio_8998-002772-1712201227_release_528412_signed_2_4.zip

Thank you for the reply my friend.
However I really can't find any RUU files for the HTC U11 +. Could you maybe point out where it could possibly be?
Thanks once again.

You guys are the best. Thank you very much for the help. I didn't know that I had to specifically get that .zip file that had that appropriate key.
It worked flawlessly and now I updated my phone so it's perfect.
Thanks once again guys. You are the best!!!:laugh:

You just need to connect your phone to your PC and run the exe. This will remove root, if your are rooted.
I just cannot get this thing to go. It just sits at waiting for bootloader for a few minutes then gives me a USB connection error. What gives?
sorry Football if i am sounding like i am doubting you but is this official? i'm only asking cuz i didn't think they would release a full RUU for such a small and minor update to the phone that may or may not affect certain people, and i also noticed that the dates for the last RUU of 3.30.651.2 were all the same from within the .zip file, but this one looks like they just pieced it together. thank you very much, i am downloading now!

All you have to do is extract the zip file. You'll find a folder named dload and copy that to your P2's sdcard root. After this step shut down the phone, then press volume up+ down + power and you will be in download mode. The phone should do the rest. If it doesn't work reply back since I only tried this method on the Huawei g312

Assuming you know how to extract, modify and add superuser and su, and repack the dload/UPDATE.APP within the firmware, here's the rootable firmware:http://db.tt/fX8aodzU
Apparently Dropbox temporarily froze my account's public links because people are downloading a lot from it. It gets unlocked the next day so if you get lucky you get lucky.
[UPDATE] File no longer available because I need my public links to share files with friends and schoolmates. They kept getting temporary disabled while I was hosting these firmware files because of too many downloads per day.

It hasn't been rooted. It's just that I know someone who extracted the the system.img within the firmware to put superuser and the su binaries in then he repacked it and installed it back in his phone successfully.

Look again on that window (it's also in the screenshot),
there clearly is a 5.11 firmware (in the right frame of the app).
Took me also quite some time until I discovered it in the past - I thought I was stuck with only the latest firmware

5.11 is just the update code, it is the latest Android 6.0.1, you can install all regions but default one is much more compatible.
Just download and flash, do not forget to select ALL WIPE options. You have to wipe for downgrade.

You did not follow all steps, if you want to do something you think right, not blame Flashtool or anyone.
FTF should be about 2.6GB-3.0GB..
Clean your PC and do it again..

Anybody know where I can find the stock recovery?

Hello!
I'm pretty sure I just need the recovery, but it might be a good idea to have a copy of the entire RUU. Seems like it's practically disappeared! Thank you so much for your help.

Can`t update software

Hi guys,
Ive got here Android version 8.0.0 and OTA 2.33.401.19 . Try to upload to Android pie but it shows a popup with (there was unexpected error and the file system may be corrupted. Please contact HTC support for further assistance). HTC want me to send my phone and sent me those prices ...had couple of bad experiences previously with their support(HTC M7, U10).
Does anyone have got this problem?
Go to Settings => About => Software Information
and tell us the Software Number.
Install Simple CID Getter from Google Play Store and tell us the CID it shows.
Then we'll find you an appropriate RUU and OTA to update your phone to Android Pie without needing HTC's help at all.
Thanks!
HTC_034 and software number 2.33.401.19
Hi,
I do have exactly the same issue on an untouched U11 single Sim. HTC support is not able to help me.
Current software version is 2.33.161.11 of a German Vodafone Rom with CID VODAP102.
So I am desperately looking for OTA to from 2.33.161.11 to 2.33.161.12 and then to 3.36.161.1 or a RUU for 3.36.161.1.
Any help is more than welcome.
@breno_campolina: have you tried to clear the cache of the those two system apps: update and download manager (Apps -> 3 point menu -> show system apps)? You might also want to try to download the update within the safe mode. I have tried all of this without success.
Cheers

Dual SIM right ? If yes, backup your data to your PC and flash this RUU in order to get a fresh start and from there use the Software Update check in Settings to upgrade to Pie.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939818418
To flash the RUU, the easiest way is to put it in the root folder of a MicroSD card, put it in the u11, power off, boot to Download Mode with Vol Down + Power together and follow the simple instructions on the screen to flash the RUU.

Sure,
Here are the necessary steps.
Firstly, rename the file you downloaded to 2PZCIMG.zip
Reboot to download mode by powering up the phone with the Vol Down + Power button together.
Once it has loaded it will ask you if you want to perform flash RUU, just press the Volume Up button once to do so.
Wait, keep looking at your phone's screen.
It will reboot when finished, be patient while the flash is ongoing, and if it gets stuck on a black screen, DO NOT do anything, it will take some time until it reboots.

Thank you!!!
Really sorry to just drop this here but I can't find what I need...please push me in the right direction. I have HTC U11 Unlocked, S-ON, I was using TWRP and Magisk for the longest time and fine. I'm afraid based on my latest user expriences with my phone I need OTA badly to get up to speed. Obviously I can't take it, the download gets corrupted. I am back to stock recovery but still rooted. Software Number 2.42.617.7, Android version 8.0. I did nothing but unlock and Magisk to this system since I got it in 2017. Please help me acquire the OTA and apply it or get to a state I can take it over the air.
