First of all, remove serial number and imei.
There's no Jelly Bean RUU for Rogers instead you can download OTA.

- There's option at the bottom of your first post to Edit it. Your serial/IMEI can be used for dangerous purposes.
- Refer to This Post to find the correct OTA.zip.
- To install the OTA.zip, there are a few steps to be done. What was the last ROM you installed? Did you update to JellyBean via OTA?

Sorry for my weird typos. I was half asleep while I was typing that. I realized it now.
That's the correct OTA you download. It is in the form of a zip file correct?
You can flash that OTA with the help of the method stated in my signature
..
Edit:
Lol man I can't stop laughing at my typos. And the subsequent question asked by you hahaha

But this method has worked for many people. Two of them reported yesterday.
at 10th step I had already given that you shouldn't flash firmware if you had already updated to jellybean.
But I seriously am think what could have could have caused the brick as the OTA matches with your firmware.
Did you do SuperCID?
Try VolDown+Power Button to go into bootloader.

yes done it twice
thing is
after it said done in command prompt, the green progressbar wouldn't leave, i mean it was stuck at the green progress bar
the thing is, i waited for a while for it to finish, a lil bit was left at the end in the progressbar, but it said done in command prompt
so after a lot of waiting, i just hard reset it, but after that the phone is not booting into bootloader and not responding at all
what is happening?

Bro I can't find anything that you did incorrectly. I don't know what the problem is. But I think that incomplete firmware update bricked it.

Hopefully this fixes my firmware issue because I updated to the latest one and my reception has been 1 bar constantly. Wish I had kept the guide to help me flash using ADB since I completely forgot lol. I cant flash this ZIP through clockworkmod right? It has to be done via ADB?

Hi where did you get the firmware 4.20? In yur post it says 4.19. but in screenshots its 4.20..can you share the link?

any signal improvement compare to previous firmware ?! thanks

I used to get crappy signal and battery strength, now both of them have improved, at least for me in Central California. 1% drain every 1.5-2 hours and 1-3 bars of signal in the house, 4-5 driving or just goofing around away from home

The 1 bar constantly could be the rom you are using not detecting your device and displaying the strength incorrectly. You may still have full strength, just the visual display is incorrect.
For example, I had a problem running ARHD roms with the WWE firmware and had to change a build.prop value to force what region I was in.
Just flashed this, sure glad to be gone with that ugly white screen! Thank you!!
*edit* just notitced my hboot version downgraded to 1.54...hmmm *edit*

@SchmilK
Wassup brah! Glad you flashed it.

Using root explorer, go to ROOT>SYSTEM>CUSTOMIZE>ACC and open up default.xml with the text viewer. Find the lines that say "REGION" and "SKU_ID", they're down towards the bottom. Change the corresponding REGION, mine is 1. Then change your corresponding SKU_ID, mine is 7. Press the 3 dots, click save and exit. Reboot...profit.

Used this method to update. Bootloader shows updated OS (4.20.707.6), but Software Information shows 4.06.1540.3. Is that right?
Radio shows correct information in both places.
I'm rooted stock with s-off.

@bcmglone ,
I'm sorry to be misleading...you are correct, but the screenshot shows 4.06.1540.3 because the rom I'm using is based off 4.06.1540.3. You are good to go...sorry for the confusion. I just changed the fw version in android-info.txt for my own benefit. only cosmetic...In the second screenshot, the same thing, I was using a rom based off 4.20.707.6

Sweet, thanks.

No problem, glad you're updated!

Flashed wrong rom now stuck in bootloop. RUU doesn't work.

So I wasn't paying attention and I flashed a rom for the M9 instead of the A9. It got stuck in a bootloop, I realized what happened, wiped & formatted and flashed correct rom. Still stuck in bootloop though recovery and bootloader are accessible. I tried and RUU and got the signature error saying it couldn't update and I need the correct one. It was trying to go from image version 1.10.502.3 to 3.38.502.17. Any ideas? ANY suggestions would be appreciated.

I haven't tried that exact one. I'm downloading it now. Is my CID not right for the A9? I've been trying to figure out how to change it to supercid but i need s-off and i can't figure out how to do that without booting to os. I'll let you know how flashing the ruu you linked goes in a few minutes.

If you were trying to update, something went wrong.
I recommend that you (re)download and flash this from the RUU collection thread:
1.27.502.5
AT&T (Cingular)
modelid: 2PQ912000
cidnum: CWS__001
Download: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_H...1.27.502.5.exe

Ah got you I think you want to flash RUUfile.zip in recovery.
Thats not correct and won´t work.
You have to flash this in RUU or Download Mode.
You can also download RUU from CSnowRules post it has a UI and you can easy apply it.
I think it´s easiest way.
Ohter way is you rename downloaded RUU.zip to 2PQ9IMG.zip put it on your Sd card boot to download mode
and flash it from there.

CSnowRules said:
If you were trying to update, something went wrong.
I recommend that you (re)download and flash this from the RUU collection thread:
1.27.502.5
AT&T (Cingular)
modelid: 2PQ912000
cidnum: CWS__001
Download: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_H...1.27.502.5.exe

This one worked!!! OMG thank you so much!! I've tried a bunch and was losing hope in the ruu working. I don't know what was different about this one but it worked! THANKS!!! my phone actually boots now lol So can I just flash a rom for the a9 over this? Do I need to do anything special?

I can't believe I made such a stupid mistake. Thanks to everyone who helped me fix it! You guys are awesome!

There's no need to do anything special. You can s-off and convert to unlocked by following the instructions in the conversion thread.
Please remember to read carefully and double-check everything before doing anything. A mistake like this one would most likely turn your phone into a luxury paperweight once you're s-off.

Hi, I have an issue, I'm trying to RUU my HTC one A9 but I get error 120, it says I have to charge battery to 30%, but it's fully charged. It gives same error even if phone isn't connected to computer. Any suggestions? Thanks

I'm confused, are you trying to RUU an M7 or an A9?
Also, are you using a .Zip or.exe RUU?

Do anyone have DUGL Asia RUU 2.42.400.6?

Hello U11 users,
First, sorry for my bad English...
I think I've messed my U11 up. I've flashed Lineage OS 15 on my phone(bootloader unlocked), after that I've booted into download mode and relock the bootloader. Now my phone cannot boot, only can go to downloa mode and RUU mode.
So my phone is messed up now, I think RUU is my last bet before send it to repair. I cannot find the correct RUU version for my phone in the RUU collection thread, so just want to know anybody in this forum has a RUU for my model?
Here's 'fastboot getvar all'
Code:
(bootloader) kernel: lk
(bootloader) product: htc_ocndugl
(bootloader) version: 1.0
(bootloader) max-download-size: 2399200000
(bootloader) serialno:

(bootloader) current-slot:
(bootloader) imei:
(bootloader) version-main: 2.42.400.6
(bootloader) boot-mode: download
(bootloader) version-baseband: 8998-002772-1712011153
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.0.0.0000
(bootloader) mid: 2PZC30000
(bootloader) cid: HTC__622
Any helps are appreciated!!
Thanks

Edit; Just realized the link i posted was for the wrong RUU. Sorry. Ill update when i find the correct one for you.
Did you by chance change the cid number? HTC__622 comes back to the dual sim version from India.
Looks like the correct cid for your phone should be HTC__621 if it is indeed an Asia model. i may be wrong but thats what i can find so far with your info.

I would say try the India Model RUU for your phone first since thats what is in your phone info you've provided. i'm not an expert on this stuff by far but i do what i can. I've got a Dual Sim Model 128 gb model i'm using now that was from Taiwan originally. I believe it came with the Asian stock software but i changed the firmware to the European model shortly after i got S-Off. Good luck. :good:

Run the RUU program. Let the phone take the OTA updates. After they are completed you should be back to Firmware version 2.42.400.6.
Or you could download the OTA's manually if you dont want to wait for that of course.

I take no credit for these posts. Just sharing the info. Maybe @5m4r7ph0n36uru could help out since that's the owner of the posts i shared.

Thanks for the reply, I didn't change the cid and mid, it is a s-on device.
Can I flash a lower version RUU without adb to it and change the system version partition?

As far as I know you should be able to flash the lower version RUU without any issues. I don't believe there is a stand alone version of the RUU that doesn't require adb. You can flash it from an sd card though. I'll post a link with a guide on how to do it.

HELP! I wasn't able to boot after a seemingly harmless TWRP hard reset(the one where it asks to writ "yes" to confirm), it kept restarting into bootloader mode, so decided to flash the ZIP that you provided in the other thread, as it wasn,t meant for 2PYB20000, i changed my MID to 2PYB10000. It flashed fine, phone turned on, but there were no cellular signals or wifi after reboot, phone doesnt shows it imei in system nor does it shows baseband version.
so far i have tried flashing a proper 2pyb20000 ruu zip, formating the persist partion, then directly rebooting to download mode and reflashing the ruu. but the issue stayed the same.
Please help me solve this issue.

Sort of did that, but flashed the latest sprint stock FW first, so had to do the whole unlocking procedure myself to get it sim unlocked. Then flashed the european latest WWE FW and flashed the Sprint radio on top of it.
Thank a lot for the help man.

Please help. I installed my twrp backup and now the sound, video playback, and the home/fingerprint sensor don't work. I guess it didn't backup right, to begin with. I really don't know. I'm new to this stuff, but its fun when it works. It's really kinda sad when it doesn't. My Mom just gave me this phone because it needed the screen replaced, but was in perfect condition otherwise and I really don't want her to know I wrecked it. I've been looking for days for a download. I pretty much understand the concept of how to make it work if I had the download. I have adb installed and working and the phone is detected.

I don't know what you are trying to do...
Just rename the file to 2PYBIMG, place in a formated fat32 microSD card, then after inserted the card to phone reboot to download mode. It will update it self!

No matter what I do it says the file is corrupt. Am I doing something wrong? I named it 2PYBIMG.zip and added it to my card but it doesn't start when I boot into download mode. I tried flashing it with twrp and it says it's corrupted.

You have TWRP, so bootloader unlocked... then, you need to lock it! You can only do this if you have security off, which is not the case here!
- fastboot oem lock ( this will relock the bootloader );
- fastboot oem rebootRUU ( switch the state to update firmware trough USB );
- fastboot flash zip 2PYBIMG.zip.
You need to verify if you don't have ex: 2PYBIMG.zip ( if that is the case, just select the file press F2 and rename it again to 2PYBIMG ).

Also, your download would not unzip, but I found the file somewhere else and bought it and it unzipped ok so I think your file is corrupted somehow. If anyone needs the file I can upload it sometime, my internet is pretty slow so I'm not sure when. But if someone sees this and needs it let me know. I'm just totally at a loss here with my phone though.

Well... this is difficult because you don't compreend some basic functions. I recomend that you search purhaps youtube or read some more on some forum. Because I alredy sent the correct file! You only need to do the steps correctly to get back the phone again.
Please, don't repost the same issue on the thread. Just send me a private message, I will respond through there.
