[GUIDE]RUU related info (Extracting rom.zip, Restoring stock, going back S-ON, etc.)

[maklein_]

Thanks!

I've read that you can't install a previous ROM via RUU if your current installed firmware is higher than the RUU. I don't know if the S-OFF will permit the downgrade.

I'll try and post here the results. I don't care about SON/SOFF, because I've to send the mobile to the SAT and I don't wanna they say that the mobile it's out of warranty.

Thanks again.

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the bootloader display from Relocked to Locked?

I followed 3.1 and 3.2 and it still says Relocked.

Thanks

if you did HTC-DEV unlock over SOFF phone then changing relocked to locked is hard

you need to go complete stock ..SON ..then SOFF again via juopunutbear (wire trick -> and this removes relocked/unlocked flag) ..then run stock RUU again ...that will resolve your issue

You can't. But any RUU should work.

Any ruu will work for you.. As you are SOFF and supercid

But I believe if you were unable to find the ruu from the links provided in the first post.. Then your next search should be PM to Football (he can get. Most of ruu's but at some cost)

You need the platform tools from Android sdk.

I want to go from s-off/unlocked to s-on and locked with a stock rom.

Must I just run the RUU or what must I do before hand, read the OP, still slightly confused.

For HTC Dev unlocked users with S On, you need to follow 3.1 & 3.2

What about upgrade to RUU FW3.33 ? do i need to S-OFF too?

If you are on gingerbread, I recommend that you do S-OFF using Revolutionary.
But upgrading via 3.32/3.33 RUU will also work.

No. You cannot.
As it's clearly mentioned in the guide.

 

[Crazy_Rican]

A week or so, I had issues with superCID, so I DL'ed RUU 3.32 and it didn't flash back to stock. That day I was told you cannot flash RUU back, but if its an upgrade, yes. I'm on fw 3.33 and simply by changing back the cid to TMO-010 fixed my problem. I would like to get back to s-on and flash stock, just in case I decied to sell my Senny.
