Error RUU
07 RU_CID_FAIL: CID in android-info.txt does not match your phone’s CID
10 RU_MODELID_FAIL: MID in android-info.txt does not match your phone’s MID
12 SIGNATURE FAIL: phone expects an HTC signature and can't find one; or found a wrong one
22 RU_HEADER_ERROR: something wrong with your zip; check md5 of download
23 PARSING IMAGE FAIL: something wrong with the image within the zip
24 ANDROID-INFO FAIL: something wrong with android-info.txt within the zip
32 HEADER ERROR: the zip couldn't be read and unzipped properly; seems same as 22.
33 NOT KNOWN YET: might indicate hardware failure.
35 FAILED (remote: 35 RU_PARTITION_NOT_SUPPORT <PartitionName>): means you can’t flash an image in download mode, as it has to be done in bootloader mode.
41 WRONG MODEL ID: means the RUU is menat for a different device
42 WRONG CUSTOMER ID: means you got to swap CID first
90 PRE-UPDATE FAIL: means it only flashed aboot and you have to run the process again immediately to flash all other partitions. The htc_fastboot.exe now auto-reboots on Error 90!
99 UNKNOWN: usually indicates you are S-ON, but sometimes also recognizes other Security related issues.
130 WRONG MODEL ID: see 41
152 IIMAGE ERROR: phone ccreen shows a little triangle beside a full green bar
155 INDICATES DIFFERENT THINGS:
the need to relock bootloader; if S-ON
the RUU cannot be executed, because the software versions of ROM, Firmware and RUU aren't matching
170 CHECK USB: RUU won’t run because ADB isn't working properly
171 USB ERROR: happens all the time when the RUU reboots the phone to download mode. For some reason the device is losing its connection and making a RUU flash virtually impossible . There is an incompatibility between USB 3/3.1 and Fastboot/ADB, as well as an issue with Windows Device Detection on the newer Windows 10 builds.
