CustomRUU for Polaris

[udK]

Hi all, I've created HTC Polaris CustomRUU patched to perform a 'task 32' instead of a 'task 28' after flashing an .nbh, so it will not format your device if you just flash a radio or a splash screen.

How to: Drop the .nbh file of your choice in the same folder as CustomRUU and start flashing.

Have fun.

This is a great idea. This could come in handy, very handy... Thanks alot!

[sgreenwood99]

Thanks for the app. Does this mean you are going to develop some stuff for Polaris? Enjoyed your Kaiser work.

Thanks udK. BTW can we use this also if we want to flash a ROM?

[hkfriends]

sorry, I'm a newbie and don't know what exactly about 'task 28' ??? :confused:
can you tell us more in details?

[udK]

Yes of course ;)

Welcome here UDK!

As I see, you have a polaris too:)

Do you plan to cook a rom too?

[The_Steph]

udk,

As a simple user of what's available, I already flashed both my radio and splash screen and I never had my Polaris formatted. So why is exactly your Custom_RUU made for?

Thanks.

Try to flash radio or splash with the default HTC RUU, your Polaris will be formatted.

[maja]

Great Job,you are super....:D

[ouioui01]

Thx udK!

For now, only missed Polaris Kitchen...(we use for the moment Kaiser's rom kitchen...)

Cheers!

[udK]

If anyone want I can release a very simple Kitchen for Polaris.

[omaga]

Hello udK! nice to see you here! Im looking forward to flash the rom you made in the future;) I loved your Lizard roms in my Trinity:)

[sgreenwood99]

I would love to have a Polaris kitchen.

We can't use this to flash cooked roms from other devices to Polaris, can we?

[ouioui01]

i'm waiting for it udK :D:D
thx for your contributrion :)

[udK]

Don't try this at home :D
Don't flash roms from other devices on Polaris or will brick it.

[alipi2007]

thanxxxxxxxx udk.
now waiting for kichen:cool:

[sgreenwood99]

I figured.... Coming from Kaiser and having a new rom issued every 15 minutes spoiled me.

Don't try this at home :D
Don't flash roms from other devices on Polaris or will brick it.

It would be great for human kinds :D

[phsnake]

BTW: sorry for maybe stupid Q., but isnt it possible to somehow "crack" RUU to be w/o stupid Q like "Please connect to USB......." and similar - to have it "flash-on-run" when one is trying to build ROM its quite annoying and instead of have a fag i need to sit in front of pc.....

[udK]

A small update in v1.2, Fixed ModelID.fig.

[batista70]

I've flashed POLARIS_WM6.1_v1.28.61.02_BLACK_PV PDAVIET with CustomRUU, in folder there was already your CustomRUU and the file .nbh
The flash has gone very fast and without errors.
Compliments UDK :)

I read with excitement your custom RUU. After buying the Polaris for the last 2months the temptation to flash to wm6.1 is immense however I hate to reinstall about 100 programs and reprogram my email settings,etc,etc which is very time consuming. This single factor of redoing which will take a lot of time deter me from flashing to wm6.1 5.2.19199 rom .It is further mentioned here that there is no reformatting with this method. I am therefore now very curious.(I dislike to reinstall the programs,settings,etc all over again after each and every upgrade of rom under the previous system)

I have a question ie:

After hard SPL and therafter dropping the new rom .nbh into this customise RUU and flashing it would it mean that there is no hard reset and the Polaris is ready to function with all the programs and setting previously done under the OLD ROM save and except that it is now running /operating under ther new ROM.

If the answer is YES I shall be flashing to the newer rom to benefit from its faster and better functionality and it will save a lot of time to reinstall programs,etc

Thanks and eagerly awaiting the answer from the masters.
BTW my current rom is 1.26.457.1 radio is 1.58.21.23 protocol version is 25.65.30.04H( I understand there is later radio version and will the same situation happens when I flash to the newer radio versions?)

[leekg]

This may sounds stupid as it is clearly stated that this CUSTOM RUU FOR POLARIS but just wondering as the "ONLY" is missing from the title whether this CustomRUU can be used for others eg.kaiser and other htc ppc?
In the event it is not Would the author able to do likewise one for Kaiser,etc

[leekg]

I have another probably silly question ie.

Can I drop the hard SPL file(258kb)"RUU_signed.nbh" into the folder of the customRUU to perform the hard SPL for polaris?

[leekg]

I've flashed POLARIS_WM6.1_v1.28.61.02_BLACK_PV PDAVIET with CustomRUU, in folder there was already your CustomRUU and the file .nbh
The flash has gone very fast and without errors.
Compliments UDK :)

Dear UDK/Batista,
Can u please tell me that after your flashing
No reformating = No Loss of Data = No need to reinstall the programs that you nstalled under the previous rom( ie only the rom is changed but the rest of data,previously installed programs,settings,etc still remain intact) is this correct?

[udK]

Every times you flash your Polaris will loss ALL.

[leekg]

Every times you flash your Polaris will loss ALL.
Thanks UDK for the clarification.
So you are saying is that whenever we flash a new rom(rom file.nbh) even using your customRUU the device will hard reset thereby losing all its data.
At the same time if it is flash for radio(radio file.nbh) or splash screen ONLY using your customRUU the device will not hard reset. Am I correct UDK

[udK]

Yes it's correct.

[leekg]

Yes it's correct.

Very much appreciated your clarification UDK

Which is the best backup to facilitate restoring of all the programs installed under the old rom after flashing to a new rom UDK

[udK]

It is not good restore a backup made on a old rom and restore it on a new rom, every flash the best way it's to reinstall all programs.

..yes I know, maybe reinstalling all take a long time :D

Hi,

Whats about SMS, Email & Contacts?
Can I backup these with PIM Backup on my old ROM and get them back into the new ROM?

[pdagenius]

I can confirm that this method works.

[omaga]

wtf.. the custom_ruu isnt working anymore:eek: Zonealarm blockit away!! it put the file in Quarantune with messages "Trojan.Win32.Delf.bpd"

I tried to download the file again and the same messages come up!! very strange because i use this usfull file many times!!

[omaga]

I download the file again in my second pc with Norton internet security and the file is clean:) as it was with my laptop too when a firts download the file. So my conclusion is that the Zone Alarm in my laptop after the ZA firmware update saw this file as a trojan :) now i got back to previous firmware of ZA and the file is clean.:cool:

Shame on u ZA:D

[FlaTEriC18041983]

I have another probably silly question ie.

Can I drop the hard SPL file(258kb)"RUU_signed.nbh" into the folder of the customRUU to perform the hard SPL for polaris?

Interesting question, could it be answered sometime?
thx a lot

[udK]

Yes you can.

[FlaTEriC18041983]

Well, I now tried Hard-SPL'ing with CustomRUU, and got 2 times ERROR 262: progress bar didn't move by 1%, stayed at 0% for 5min, then error 262 showed up :confused:

followed this one step by step: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370434
only with CustomRUU instead RomUpdateUtility

EDIT: If I would try original RUU, what is going to be formatted? I don't want to flash a new ROM so far, just wanted to update RadioROM

EDIT2: Tried original RUU, now error 260 is showing up, the display of the device not even getting to the process bar, after 2min still in four-colored screen, then error message on PC...

what the hell goes up there?

I was monitoring with both exes as well, that ActiveSync is shutting down as soon as the device goes to bootloader, is that normal?

[basdaniel]

Please help as i cannot update my rom...
How do i install the rom onto the device after i have tried the recovery mode?

Please note that i did get to install 17% and then got a conectivity error...
after that i couldnt recover after following the steps provided.

[huynhchihung]

Thanks for the app.:):):)

polaris_custom_ruu.exe is a generic.dx trojan ?

[rspillo]

polaris_custom_ruu.exe is a generic.dx trojan ?

No, it's ok! The antivirus usually detect a virus in Custom_RUU.exe, it's false error. Disable your antivirus while downloading and flashing the ROM.

[kawa72]

Avast sees it as infested with some Trojan...

[JVRSilva]

[frederes]

Hi,

Kaspersky aslo detect a trojan in this CustomRUU for Polaris !
I really wonder if it is safe...
Thanks for your return.

Fred

[ricca91]

I would open a new topic, or announcement and make it sticky:

There is no virus in CustomRUU.exe, it is perfectly safe!!!

[Glam_Hafiz]

Custom RUU cannot be downloaded..... cannot read the source file........ that what prompt me.... any idea to download..

[Olioaglio]

Maybe udK could modify the code of the Custom_RUU and release a 1.3 version
which wouldn't be detected as trojan or virus to stop those rumours once and for all :rolleyes: ATM ROM threads are full of virus warnings and those who decline,
that it is a virus and so on. This is really annoying :(

it is true , but always somebody ask me same thingafter I released new rom.
so I deleted uDk's CustomRUU , and replaced with HTC Official ROMUpdateUtility.exe

[HorNet505]

AVIRA AntiVir shows it's a trojan: TR/Agent.annl :D

[excogitation]

I have another probably silly question ie.

Yes you can.

Actually you can't.
Maybe you can - after you've already hard SPL'ed your device (which wouldn't make much sense).

On the other hand - it might just be me.

Thanks, udK - for providing us with this great tool.

[rajeevjo]

I lost my video dialer after installing UDK rom in my touch cruise !! can any one help please?

For those whose CustomRUU.exe keeps getting deleted by your AntiVirus, here is my feeble attempt to have a CustomRUU autoextracting to run ruu_signed.nbh file.

How to use
Unzip "my homemade WinRar Self extracting" CustomRUUNew.exe into the same folder where your CustomRUU.exe was.

double click the exe and enjoy.

FAQ
I added the Request to the user to ask for elevate rights for Vista & Windows 7 beta (test not done, anyone ?)
Tested Vista SP1 not extracting to current folder need to check again :-(
XP SP3 working.
If you rerun it will ask to overwrite files.

Let me know if it helps you.

My stupid F#cking antivirus has deleted my custom ruu, can't seem to find it or get it back and now when I try to download this one and extract, it gives me an error and cant finish extracting. Tried the one above and that just freezes my polaris.

[shumilica]

Why isn't this topic sticky? :o

Has anybody already tested the version of rparslow?
Does this work as reliably as the original of udk?

Hi,

Is your file infected by a virus ???

When I try to download it Avast comes up with an alert about Win32-Trojan-gen being found in the enclosed Polaris_CustomRUU.exe file !!!

[laurentd75]

PLEASE IGNORE MY PREVIOUS MESSAGE -- SORRY

(I didn't read the thread properly and missed the discussion about false positive virus reports and the file being perfectly safe after all)

[rparslow]

my repackage was to avoid the virus warning.

not working for you ?

Hi all, I've created HTC Polaris CustomRUU patched to perform a 'task 32' instead of a 'task 28' after flashing an .nbh, so it will not format your device if you just flash a radio or a splash screen.

How to: Drop the .nbh file of your choice in the same folder as CustomRUU and start flashing.

Have fun.
