Hello Guys
I need to reflash my phone with stock bootloader and stock android Sense rom. i have searched over the forum and there is no one proper method to do it.
also., i have tried RUU from shipped roms, but the updater does not flash the phone as it says the RUU is wrong.
The phone I am trying to flash is a HTC Wildfire bought June 2010 with T-mobile sim.
thanks in advance.
Same case with me just my wildfire is not branded

Chek you have a valid goldcard when flashing the shipped rom.
Download the a RUU Rom from shipped-rom's.
Open the .exe file and leave it open, now go to %TEMP% in explorer.exe (start > run), and search for Rom.zip or something like that.
Copy that file to your SD Card and install it with ClockWorkMod.
I downloaded the RUU from a link on the forum. Now when I go to Shipped roms top download the RUU manually, i cant find the model (Buzz/ Wildfire) there..
where do I download the RUU from?
Here : http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...3.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe
Hello everyone!
First off I'd like to start by telling you I'm new here and I don't know much about rooting so I'm reffering to you for help... Here is what happened... I have a G2 Hero, running android 2.1. So one day I decided to root it and install a custom rom. I downloaded Universal Androot-1.6.2-beta5 and ran it on my mobile.
Afterwards I formatted my sd card then restarted the device and downloaded rom manager from the market and flashed Clockwork. After this I put CyanogenMod-6.1.0-RC1 in the root dir of my sd card, tried to install it from [HOME] + [PWR] buttons menu and an error saying [status 7] showed up... Now im stuck in an endless bootloop... I cannot sync the device with my computer, cannot hard reset.. I can access Hboot menu but there isnt anything I can do...
What should I do to restore it to stock and then try the whole thing again but with a new rom? Thanks in advance!
Anyone?
Have you tried running an official HTC RUU? They can be found in a thread on the development page

you have to search for "RUU for htc hero gsm". There's an official website for that. Download RUU (about 80-90mbytes as i remember) and start it. As i remember you should power your phone in HBOOT mode (VOL DOWN + POWER), connct to PC and run RUU and follow the wizard.
It will flash stock 1.5 android.
After reeboot it should inform you that there's an update, but if you want to flash different recovery, you shouldn't update your phone.
Then you should follow "How To - Root Your HTC Hero in One Click" (can't post links yet).
Ok first of all thank you guys for the help! So I downloaded RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_test_signed_NoDri ver.exe from the main thread. At first I had some connection problems but then I switched the front panel USB to one of the rear which are 2.0 and continued. Now I'm stuck at a later step. Tried to update it but an error message saying "ERROR[131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR Please get the correct ROM UPDATE UTILITY and try again" displays. Which RUU would you recommend?
I used official RUU from htc.com site. It just worked for me.
This one is in Polish, but i believe, you will find one in your language or in English

//edit
You must provide a valid serial number from sticker behind the battery and select a corresponding file. It will be only one i think
//edit2
There's something more about this error 131:
http://androidforums.com/707610-post16.html
Apparently you just used wrong RUU... Try one from prev link.
Ok, soI downloaded RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver from the official HTC website and go past last error but afterwards I encounter another one. This time it is "ERROR[140] BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR, Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again"
Any suggestions this time?

You could try the carrier one if you got it from Orange flash the ruu which is for Orange uk
Nope, my phone is from Europe but I dont think I got my cd... I'll sure search for it. Any other suggestions?
Maybe you can find a workaround there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684504
I am currently trying with this one:RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.38_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver. But it seems to be stuck on "Sending.....Updating the ROM image on your Android phone" The progress bar on the phone's display is almost complete but wont move anymore. I have waited for 20 minutes now...
EDIT: I finally fixed it! I didn't realise I had to have the same RUU version like my software version. Thought I had to downgrade. Nevermind it's all OK now and it's time to try the whole rooting and custom ROM process again
I want to thank all of you guys that helped me!
Good for you man
Just out of pure couriosity, what rom will U use afrer your phone get rooted?
You have to use your carrier related stock rom/exe. What is your carrier?

Hi,
I have an unlocked, unbranded, unrooted wildfire. It has not been offered the OTA froyo update and I am attempted upgrading manually. I have looked widely and found much often conflicting information.
My latest attempt is to download a zip using the fota script.
1) download the zip using fota and rename update.zip
2) place in the root of the sd card on the phone
3) boot to hboot, select recovery and then update.zip in sdcard
Result is a status 7 error. The messages start with a /cache/recover command missing error, lots of getopts and then the status 7.
Firmware on the phone is 1.16.772.1
File from fota:
OTA_Buzz_Froyo_H3G_ITA_2.40.772.1-1.16.772.1_C_release_170512gvqemp3ei800u0v4.zip
I would prefer not to root this phone since it is still under warranty, but if I have to I will. Is there an easy way to get froyo on this phone? can someone point me to the instructions?
Many thanks in advance
Paul
Ive never used a RUU .zip file
most RUU`s are .exe files and run from the PC via usb cable
hope that helps
Hi Morbosity,
my understanding is that there are two types of update. The RUU updates are an installation wrapper around an update.zip designed to run on windows. As you say they use a USB link to the phone from a PC. The other update is used over the air and just consists of the update.zip.
Since I have limited access to windows I chose to use the second method.
thanks for the help
Cheers Paul
really do need some more help....
Anyone got any ideas?
Your firmware version is 1.16 right.
First try an ruu of your region with firmware version greater than 1.16 and less than 2.x . This is the eclair update.
Once done successfully, then you can go with froyo ota or WWE froyo ruu. Here I recommend WWE froyo ruu because of its hboot 1.01.0001 which works perfectly with alpharevx.

Hi,
thanks for that I will try it.
Cheers Paul
My HBOOT ver is 0.80 ,how i can change it to 1.01.0001 for s-oof'ing???
I flashed my phone with one of RUU ROM but NOTHING happened
Thanks in advance
change h-boot.
the only way to do it is with ruu man.
did you run a ruu with the same hboot??
if you go to shipped roms.com and then buzz it gives you a list of shipped ruus, select one from your area and give it a go.
remember that using a ruu will wipe the phone entirely. (i dont think the sd card is affected.)
i dont know what ruu to suggest to you but maby someone else on here will know
WWE 2.22.405.1 Froyo RUU from shipped ROMs. Don't attempt flashing any other RUU

I flashed mentioned ROM but HBOOT version is still the same and nothing happend
Are you sure it flashed completely and properly? You didn't get any error codes or anything? Anyway, try one more way (Using the same WWE 2.22.405.1 RUU)
- Extract the ROM.zip from the RUU. Guide here:
http://lukasz.szmit.eu/2010/04/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-android.html
- Once you get that file, rename it to PC49IMG.zip. Place this file on your SDCard (Not in any folder / sub-folder)
- Turn off your phone, turn on in HBoot mode. It will scan your SDCard and attempt to install the ROM. Confirm it, and see if it installs this time.

I flashed RUU ROM (WWE 2.22.405) like other ROMs and i received no error during the process....should i do somthing else for flashing ????
RUU's are EXE Files. I hope till now you were not talking about the Safe Flash Zips that are located in the Dev Zone?
Anyways, download the RUU from here, and try again. It's not to be installed via Clockworkmod Recovery. Connect your Wildfire to your PC, run the EXE.

Create a goldcard from your SDCard:

This is what I did with my ruu, first on PC click start then type %temp% to open the temp folder as this is where the ruu unpacks the files when running, then start the ruu while watching the temp folder for the new files to appear.
When they do search through them for rom.zip and copy and paste this to your desktop then extract the rom.zip and remove the hboot, recovery, splash and radio images.
After this is done i zipped it back up with winrar making sure to tick the .zip and selecting store only also renamed it to PC49IMG.zip then dropped the new zip onto the root of my sdcard and rebooted into hboot by pressing volume down and power, hboot found the zip and asked if i wanted to update so i chose yes and let it run.
After it booted I was on a stock unrooted rom but still had clockworkmod recovery and was able to reboot into recovery and flash the superuser zip and a new kernel to get root etc on the stock rom.
Or I could have just flashed a new rom from recovery.

Oh the memories
3xeno - lol getting deja-vu, glad it wasn't just me who took the safe ruu method mistake. I thought I was reading our old conversations for one moment lol.
Scratch - excellent explaination mate,exactly how I managed it in the end.
Follow the instructions posted by 3xeno (Yoda) and scratch and you'll be s-off in no time buddy.goodluck.
P.s I gained my superuser at end of revolution by just flashing my cm7 nandroid backup.

Hello, i recoverd my HTC desire HD with clock work mod, i had my original rom backup since before so it was easy. Now my phone have this info in it:
Android 2.2
1.32.405.6
12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
When iam trying to update the ORIGINAL rom i get instantly a triangle with a "!" sign in it and nothing happens, whys that?
I have searched for some hours but no info on it, can it be becasue i might be rooted?
Updates will not work as you have modified the system partition.
If you find a suitable RUU to flash, this will revert the modifications and allow you to update.

Aha, okey then i need to read about RUU then i guess. Any good link for me? or ill just google, thanks!
Just search "RUU" in the DHD development forum. You should find a post by xmoo or football.
I took a original RUU and stil i cant update, anything more left that i missed? I mean i had original backup and everything before i took a custom room, is the impossible or what...
What did you do with the RUU? Did you run the ~.exe file?
I saw a thing now, i update RUU with a file size 10mb, file name was 1.32.406 something, is this only a OTA? I think i didnt get a RUU, iam abit confused ot the diffrent. Found a file now sayin RUU_ace_HTC... that is a big file, so i rename this to PD98IMG when i update?
The RUU should be atleast 200MB+ Its not an OTA. Its a complete package.
RUU = ROM Update Utility. You will need the one that matches you current firmware 1.32.405.x. Download it and run the ~.exe file. It will guide you through the process.
Thanks man for the help, i sorted it out and found a new RUU, the last one was an update or something weird =S. AFter som HTC sync problem finally it was solved, have been workin on this problem for a couple and month back and fourth to just get to original rom.

You could just flash this one made by Nitr00 and should get updates, should there even be any anymore, again.
