You don't lose S-OFF flashing an RUU, you would have had to have run the fastboot command. You won't have the Revolutionary HBOOT but it'll be S-OFF
Ed, do you want me to write up a guide on extracting the rom.zip from the RUU? It won't involve Process Monitor, I promise
No difference at all, the one on this guide is from the HTC server itself (check the link location)
Try turning signature verification off in Recovery, then re-flash. Turn it back on again once finished.Hi,
Thanks for this guide. I try to use it, but after selecting the update file on sd I get an error:
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I have stock recovery and my phone is s-off.
Does anyone know what the error means, and how I can fix it so I can install the update?
If I install the RUU, do I only use programs, or also program data? For example, if I re-install a game after installing the RUU, is my game progress gone? I don't mind installing all apps again, but I would like to keep the data as there's a lot of time spend there
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply, but is this possible in stock recovery? Step 4 of the guide says that stock recovery is required. In recovery, the only options i have are:
- reboot system now
- apply update from external storage
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- apply update from cache.
In CWM i have seen this option, but in stock i can't find it.
Hi guys,
I have a weird one here!
My device is a Z710A (with 850-1900mhz 3G).
I had it from stock. then s-off, then put CID htc__001, then the official rom RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1, then the OTA upgrade to ICS.
after that the device is stuck in the HTC screen.
I tried to install the same rom and other roms and everything is giving me the wrong device ID problem. I change the CID to 11111111 and then back to HTC__001 (the cid of this rom) and nothing works.
I tried to install CWM and it says it's not signed.
I'm out of ideas.
what else can I try?
thanks!
Heey Eddy, don't know if you saw my thread in the Q&A section about sebastianFM's kernel, i get an error flashing the kernel, could this have something to do with the H-Boot version??
