If anyone can help me get this installed I'd appreciate it. It times out at the waiting for booatloader screen. I have the recovery ROM installed.

dagnasty · Nov 18, 2009

Try this:

Pull your battery
Put it back in
Hold down the Volume down arrow and press power
Press Volume Up, screen should say FASTBOOT USB in red
Start your RUU

jonnythan · Nov 19, 2009

If I'm in Fastboot USB Mode when I run the RUU, it fails at Verifying. If I boot into Fastboot while it's waiting to boot into recovery, it still times out.

dagnasty · Nov 19, 2009

Hmm, do you have the correct driver installed? Check your device manager under Android devices and see if the ADB driver is installed. If it is, install the driver from HTC Sync. Its called My HTC when it is installed

jonnythan · Nov 19, 2009

Yup, I definitely have the driver installed. I can use ADB just fine foe shell and push and so forth.

It connects initially to verify the info on the phone, but the RUU process reboots the phone and seems to expect it to boot into a certain bootloader. But it doesn't. I imagine the recovery ROM I flashed doesn't work with the RUU.

Does anyone have the original recovery ROM?

gilroykilroy · Nov 19, 2009

Had the same situation. I was able to get it to work by messing with the volume keys right after the reboot (pressed up and down a couple times.)

Gah, Windows. =/

Gonna see if I can do it in Parallels.

fullthrottleenergy · Nov 19, 2009

Having the same problem. It restarts the phone waiting for bootloader and then errors out.

Not sure what's going on. 100% positive I've got the adb driver. I've got HTC Sync working.

Using Win 7 64bit.

So it errors out and says a connection could not be made error 170.

I then disconnect the usb cable and the screen shows RUU but of course it's already disconnected.

No idea what to do.

dagnasty · Nov 19, 2009

Not sure why it is not working for you guys. My RUU would not update using the adb driver. I put it into fastboot usb mode. My pc then detected the phone. I went into device manager and checked under android devices. Make sure it says something like 'My HTC' and not 'HTC Dream' or something like that.

ajones7279 · Nov 19, 2009

Hmm, worked fine for me under Vista. Installed HTC Sync update from the HTC site and all was good afterwards. Updating now.

jonnythan · Nov 19, 2009

I installed HTC Sync and now it works (that's with the custom recovery ROM).

Cool.

oxeneers · Nov 19, 2009

Yeah, the damned thing wouldn't work unless I installed HTC Sync. Back in business.

mehbones · Nov 19, 2009

what OS are you guys using? I'm using w7 and i'm having absolutely no luck, i think i've tried everything possible...

jonnythan · Nov 19, 2009

I'm on Win7. You installed HTC Sync?

There's really no reason to flash the stock ROM anyway,,,

mehbones · Nov 19, 2009

yes i have sync installed.

basically what happened was I lost my recovery backup image, i dunno how where i can get another one and how to apply it to my phone...this RUU thing is not working either, i tried fastboot and reinstalled all the phone drivers

jonnythan · Nov 19, 2009

Where is it getting hung up?

jonnythan · Nov 19, 2009

By the way, Byggun posted his recovery backup image:

mehbones · Nov 19, 2009

the RUU just says that my phone is not connected, i've checked the drivers and all are up to date.

i dont know exactly what to do to use the recovery image, i've never had to use one before, only had to create one.

lv2bll · Nov 19, 2009

it connects to my phone then waits for boot loader, then it says that its not connected anymore
