RUU/VZW/KitKat4.4.2/Sense 6/S-OFF only!

dottat · May 28, 2014

Custom RUU for sense 6 and kitkat 4.4.2. This file is not encrypted and is for S-Off users only! I posted an RUU mode flashable TWRP file at the bottom of this post... but if you would like to use an app like flashify to flash your own custom recovery that will work too right out of the box as this RUU is ROOTED! Also, HTC preloaded some image files for the "stickers" in the duo effects camera. They are preloaded to /data/preload so you can either flash the zip at the bottom of the second post or manually copy them over to that directory.

This will wipe you phone. (Not ext sd card)

Install)

Download file into working fastboot directory. Boot phone to fastboot mode and connect to pc. Type in the following commands.
fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip vzw.M7.4.10.605.3.PN0731IMG.zip

first time you run this it will be short... so run it a second time

Example

fastboot flash zip vzw.M7.4.10.605.3.PN0731IMG.zip

The command prompt output will show you details as it flashes each partition and will show you when it has completed. At this time the green bar on the phone will appear 99% of the way across the screen.. Completely normal!~ Issue the next command to kick it out of RUU mode or optionally flash the custom recovery TWRP if you intend to root/flash custom roms and THEN issue the below command to get out of RUU mode.

fastboot reboot
(note) if you just want to reboot back to bootloader you can issue the command fastboot reboot-bootloader This will allow you to boot directly to recovery and start flashing/rooting fun.

NOTE.... VZW does not allow bootloader unlocking and since you must have root to use @scotty1223 's command you will need to flash a custom recovery and root the the stock rom.

Thanks for this, just curious though what exactly are the "stickers" that can be flashed?

They are graphical stickers that you can edit onto files taken with the new camera. If you don't flash them... you will have white tiles where the stickers would be under edit options in gallery.

Thanks for all your hard work! I downloaded and flashed the RUU just like stated and i'm updating all the apps as we speak! Great job.

This should be of use to you all now too. Htc's backup app which does texts email accounts WiFi and apps. Uses your Google drive and works great!

This is a stock RUU and comes pre-rooted for convenience. That is why the difference in the time stamps.

I flash my own stuff before posting. For whatever reason that time stamp is off by 12 hours on your snap shot. System image should show 1252pm today's date may 28th. Same time I posted this thread and started uploading.

Nice im about to run this then. Would you recommend doing a factory reset in TWRP recovery and Wiping data,system,cache,dalvic and Formating Internal Storage before running this just to make sure everything is wiped? I really need to fix the issue i have.:crying:
