Have Sprint HTC U11 WHL Device With UHL Japan ROM

[OneZero8]

Hi,

I have a Sprint HTC U11 WHL Device With UHL Japan ROM installed on it. Bought it on eBay for a great price and thought it might work for me. But I'm running into an issue:

1. Official HTC WHL Sprint RUU executables always fail with ID mismatch error (as the installed ROM is 2PZC2000 (wrong ROM) and I'm attempting to flash 2PZC5000 ROM (to set it straight)). All versions checked via MD5 hash.

2. .ZIP RUUs always fail using htc_fastboot, with a "data size too large" error.

My questions are:

1. How can I get the .exe to disregard the Model ID?
2. Why are the .zip RUUs failing with such a ridiculous error?
3. Is this a situation that "S-OFF" can remedy?

Thanks!

I have a Sprint HTC U11 WHL Device (manufactured specifically for Sprint, for sale in the US) which has a UHL Japan firmware installed on it. I am trying to flash the US Sprint device with the original firmware that was installed on it at the factory, or any later update to that firmware.
