I've restored successfully using RRU a couple of times using UK TMO images but I'm no longer able to.
What I did was RRU an image and then OTA update to a version which is unavailable as a RRU. It's currently bricked I just see the pink circle although I can get to the bootloader via power-back (although not via power-vol down oddly).
I think the RRU isn't allowing downgrade now. Is there anyway of either forcing the Windows RRU updater to ignore version or flash more directly?
Enter recovery and flash a stock rooted Rom then ruu it
Or enter fastboot plug phone in then run ruu as administrator

I lost recovery it just goes to the pink circle. I only have bootloader.
And I can't run RUU on any of the available UK T-Mobile images without error.

Hmm. If you have s-off, can you try to flash recovery via fastboot, then wipe everything and flash rom of choice? Never done that but I think my logic is good?
What is long hex code for goldcard?
I think the issue with my failing RUU update is that I have 2.12.110.4 and there isn't a RUU for T-Mobile for that version -- the last is 1.12.110.4 and RUU gives error "error 140 bootloader version error".
I've tried the OTA update as a PB99IMG.ZIP via fastboot but that doesn't work. I assume the ZIPs are signed and I can't mix the RUU extracted rom and OTA.
I think my best option is a goldcard but I don't have access to read the long hex CID from the phone.
I can see cid::T-MOB005 from fastboot.exe oem boot. Is there any way of translating that to the long hex code?

....and just after I finally managed to get the ota installed
Hi,
i have S-ON, bootloader unlocked, root, 2.13.401.3
after this update 2.26.401.3 stay still bootloader unlocked?
EDIT: maybe i need S-OFF, not possibly update my mobile...
you need to relock the bl in order to install any ruu.
i had a hard time updating my phone to 2.26
if you take a look at the first thread for this update, the ota update, there are details for how to update to this version and still keep bl-nlocked and easily root

try the process in this thread, if you can't get it to work straight away, try using the method i used (thanks to rezo).
1 - install the ruu for 2.14.401.1
(http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?o6ox43q3taa33iu)
1.5 - if you can't do this because you already have the rom from 2.26 (but old radio etc), follow this tutorial so that you can go back to ruu 2.14.401.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540952&highlight=downgrade
2 - use htcdev process (without ruu step) to unlock bootloader
3 - install cwm recovery by flashing this file (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1rdxmtpx26201or) via "fastboot flash recovery recovery(custom).img"
4 - put update.zip (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?vycb7415nn9boct) on the root of your sd card and install from cwm recovery.
4.5 - if the update doesn't work (i.e. if you still get "triangle !" logo flash this file (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bqni648c46r5e44) via cwm and choose the option "supervision", then try the update again.
5 - after installation and first boot (take a while) boot back to cwm and flash this root.zip (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dumbffr3n8igau4)
you should now have the latest stock rom, latest hboot, latest radio, and be root.

I have problem with install RUU, why?

what is the error code?
things to remember when you flash an ruu :-
you should not have modified system files (except for root)
you should have stock recovery to start with
you may need to create gold card
you should be relocked bootoader
if you are already on a software number which is higher than the ruu you are trying to install, you may need to downgrade first, using the guide posted above.
Is there anyway without S-OFF to update the radio? I would rather not loose any data too. I've manage to update everything but the radio.

if you're s-off already, can't you just flash the radio.img?
don't quote me on that, i'm not s-off myself, so i'm not reallu 'up' on all the thigns you can do and how you do them. but i was under the impression that with s-off you can flash it same as you flash recovery.img or system.img?
Do I need to flash radio? Because my girlfriends WFS has been t-mobile branded so I think I'm not able to flash RUU without gold crad?
Is it possible to flash system.img and boot.img only? Or will there be conflicts with radio/ramdisk etc...
BL is unlocked and device is rooted atm!
I installed this RUU to my Wildfire S by this tutorial
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540952
My phone had unlocked bootloader (via htcdev.com), Root, S-On and my Hboot version was 1.09.0099. When I was trying to install RUU I got ERROR 140(bad hboot version). So I used mentioned tutorial to downgrade hboot and then I install new RUU.
I downloaded RUU 2.26.401.3 from this site because on Football's FileFactory link are allways full slots.
Code:

And there is a ZIP version if someone want

Sorry for poor english.
Can anyone please upload the RUU to another server?
FileFactory is always overloaded. And the russian site is too slow to download from America. 3kbps gg.
Any issues unlocking BL and rooting this update? Any compelling reason to stay with 2.13.401.2/3?

Hey
My uncle went back from Malaysia wih an HTC Wildfire S (A 510e with CID HTC_044) and asked me how to update it to european version (with french language), as i am an expert p) about android and stuff.
After few hours of searching and hacking, I've been able to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom rom (MHR).
Now I feel like there arealittle too many features there. He doesn't need to be root, for example, or reboot to recovery...
Is tere any way I could update the CID and flash an RUU? Every time I am trying a "fastboot oem writecid whatever" am getting an error. Zipped versions of the RUU are not flashable from CWM. When I want to flash the .img one by one, I get stuck at radio.img with "unexpected signature" errors.
Any idea ?
You may be able to do it with a goldcard or might have to flash from fastboot. Both methods are found here:
[GUIDE]How to update HTC Wildfire S/Marvel/A510e/GSM to Software Version 2.3.5
I have an Asian WFS and the goldcard didn't work for me. I ultimately had to flash from fastboot.
Thanks.
Goldcard doesn't work for me either.
I flashed boot.img and system.img, and it seems it is working well.
Hello everyone
Is there any tutorial for M8 lollipop 5.0.1 to unlock boot-loader , S-off it and Root it ?
because i tried Hasson's 2014 tool .. but i stock with flashing unlock token code bin
i got failed . Maybe it is not compatible with lollipop 5 yet.
any advice or hint
thaanx in advnace
Unlocking hasn't changed. Flash the unlock token via fastboot commands directly and not via a toolkit. Learn the basics that's the easiest in troubleshooting.
S-off : only via sunshine but i haven't been reading up if it supports android L but if you don't try you don't know
Root: once unlocked you flash a custom recovery and flash the SU zip
i have a t-mobile version of htc one m8 but when flashing ROMs , i flash international version of the ROM which i'm flashing. The phone is sim-unlocked.
Lately i'm having problem of my phone getting stuck on boot and only way out is wipe cache and dalvik on every time i reboot. And also GPS is not working (tried every fix but no avail) I'm guessing his is some firmware problem.
So the thing is I want to get back to Android 4.4.4 version ( on which it was earlier before i flashed any Lollipop rom , so that i could flash T-mobile's OTA to Lollipop back ( for firmware update ) and after reading and some research , i have understood that i have to be stock recovery and relock the bootloader and get T-mobile RUU ( very confused about RUU thing)
Could someone confirm if this is the correct procedure and explain what steps i need to follow IN ORDER to get this done ( and if links to corresponding guides i will be really helpful) .
I AM S-ON.
Hboot - 3.19
Radio - 1.22.213311491.08G
Please help , really frustrated by these issues and apparently previous threads of mine have gone unanswered.
Unfortunately, if you want to revert to KK (or any older version), you will have to be S-off to do so. So, pay the $25, get S-off (which will helpfully unlock your bootloader at the same time), run T-Mobile RUU for desired version.
However, even if you are S-on, you should be able to use a current or newer RUU to get the firmware up to date, then move on to installing the ROM of your choice. You are probably better off going to the latest firmware and running an alternate ROM, but that's just me.

So if i were to follow S-on steps , i will have to first flash stock recovery , relock bootloader and run t-mobile RUU for firmware upgrade ?
When i relock bootloader everything will be wiped , right ?
So i connect my phone to pc with relocked bootloader and stock recovery and run t-mobile latest RUU on windows ?
Is this the correct procedure?

That is all true; except you do not need to install stock recovery to RUU.
Stock recovery is only needed to OTA, not for RUU.
