[ROM] Stock RUU rom.zip flashable in fastboot for Mac and Linux users

[acquiredhate]

This RUU rom was extraced directly from RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular.exe and I've verified it successfully restored my previous One on my Mac before exchanging it at AT&T.

Please note, you must have the original 1.44 HBOOT flashed before running this RUU found here:

@acquiredhate looks like your zip may be corrupt. I've tried downloading it twice. Same result.

 

[acquiredhate]

Hmm, I'll re-upload it tonight, thanks for checking into that for me!

Does fastboot flash zip rom.zip actually have to be entered twice?

 

[gunnyman]

Yes it does. It fails the first time.

Anyone willing to give me a layman's set of instructions on this. I need to restore to stock, but this is meaningless to me. Yes, I am aware that I am exposing myself to ridicule and the third circle of XDA inferno.

I found the answer to this issue... here is my quote from another thread:

So after two days of not having a phone, I solved the issue.

It seems the RUU would not run with the newer version of HBOOT found in the GE version of the rom. So I reflashed HBOOT 1.44 (see attached) and BOOM RUU worked and back to stock!

Hope this helps someone

Hey guys, sorry, I've been away for a while and just now checked in on this thread. The downgrade of the HBOOT to 1.44 is necessary. Thank you for adding in this crucial piece of the puzzle I left out. I will add this to my original post!
