Okay, so I was trying to install the recently released gingerbread onto my Eris. For some reason it didnt work, but i had already deleted my system and cache and now I am left with a phone with absolutely no software on it.
I can't boot into bootloader, fastboot, hboot, or anything.
I'm not worried about the gingerbread now. Now my main goal is to just get back to my stock 2.1 or hell, stock 1.5. Anyways, I am trying to use an RUU and it keeps failing. The error message I am receiving is...
"The ROM Update Utility cannot open the requested files or the files are damaged. The RUU cannot continue with the update.
Please get a complete RUU package and try again."
I have tried several different RUU downloads and it's just been a total fail. If anyone can help at all, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you got a bad download. Always check the 5sum and perform a nand backup before making any big changes.
That being said, is there anyway to sideload a new ROM onto your SD? The usual way is to plug in the USB and use your phone like a thumb drive.
Also RUU Won't Run

Alright, then what?
We got this straightened out over at androidforums.com, but all from information posted by bftb0 here.
So, you can follow the solution that worked here: http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/350856-htc-eris-ruu-wont-run.html
(Note: this is pretty extreme and can leave you with a bricked Eris anyway. I'd still start trying to install the PB00IMG.zip file from the leak V3 ROM, to see if that works.)

I was putting my Titan back down to stock so I could enable GPS (I had it working, but it stopped when I activated my Centro to get data back). Anyways, I forgot to unplug and plug back in the USB. Now no matter what I do It's telling me that the ROM Update utility has encountered communication errors with the device. I should also probably mention that I can still get to the boot loader itself. Any ideas?

Maybe you should have done some reading before you got into this flashing.

I actually did quite a bit of reading before flashing. My problem is that I didn't disconnect the USB cable like I should have when flashing back to the original boot loader. It stopped and now I'm stuck. I tried putting the bootloader the relocker tried to install on the SD card and named it TITAIMG, but it gets stuck at the gray screen saying "loading...". I tried the exitbl but it tells me that it can't find any sessions. I tried running the program again, but I wind up with communication errors.

What carrier do you have? Did you run the "GetBackToStockXV6800"?
What radio, Bootloader are you running?
"I tried putting the bootloader the relocker tried to install" (PLEASE CLAIRIFY).
I think it may be working now. I went back to what drew said about using the SD and I tried the one file I hadn't tried. I had tried all of the .nbh files in the directory (stock radio and bootloader), but not the stock ROM itself. I had assumed that since the program quit halfway through flashing the bootloader hadn't installed properly. It would appear I was wrong. So, thanks for the help, Drew, and thanks for being so willing to help cac2us.

Your welcome,
Have you decided to go with a custom ROM, or are you ready to try PPC Kitchen (BuildOS)?
Keep in mind, if you flash a custom ROM with programs that you later want to update with newer versions, you may not be able to uninstall the original versions.
I'm thinking I'll try PPC kitchen. My biggest problem now is deciding how badly I want windows mobile 6.5. I love the touch friendly GUI and the desktop version of IE, but I'm not able to run TVU or Pandora because they use more memory than I have available.

I found that "ZOOM BROWSER" is quite a hog. And "Titanium" eats more than "SPB Mobile Shell 3".
And with "NueKernel", 6+mb. from the camera is just a soft reset away.
But I mainly load apps that I can't find a cab file for, so when an update comes out, I can just update without re-coocking the ROM.
Enjoy.
Does the thunderbolt need to be rooted to upload a stock PG05IMG from my SD card? Im trying to load PG05IMG_Mecha_VERIZON_WWE_1.12.605.6_Radio_1.16.00.0223r_NV_8k_1.41_9k_1.64_release_174685_signed.zip from my SD card as my handset is stuck at the bootup screen, thus wont reload through an RUU.
The phone was previously rooted by someone else and I did a system clear through the clockwork recovery (Version 3.1.0.2) menu to wipe their info. Afterwards, it only showed the bootscreen. Oops....
Ive tried to load the aforementioned file through the bootloader screen by renaming it PG05IMG.zip, etc, but the phone keeps rejecting it.

What exactly are you trying to do? Completely unroot the thing and put S-On? I'd like to be sure before I dole out instructions. And why such an old RUU? Why not the 1.70 RUU. And how was the Tbolt rooted and S-Off'd before?
Honestly, Im just trying to get it to boot again as easily as possible. I dont care if it's rooted, unrooted, anything, I'd just like it to work.
I grabbed the old RUU because I figured I could update from there. It actually makes no difference to me at this point what's on it, I just want it to work again. lol

I hope wiser minds than mine chime in, but I don't think flashing an old RUU would be wise if Revolution was used. Revolution replaces the hboot and I don't think flashing a new RUU replaces it. I'm not sure what bad would come of it, actually.
It sounds to me like you just need to flash a new ROM. I don't know what radios you have, but you probably have newer ones since those are the radios of choice for newer ROMs. I'd try that first. If that doesn't do it, then I think what needs to happen next it to figure out what hboot you have. If it was done via the jcase method, then flashing an RUU should work fine. If not, well... I'm not an expert on that front, but there are threads on that subject. I wish I could dish out a real simple answer, but I'm not sure it so simple.
Definitely sounds like all that is needed in the OP's case is to flash a new ROM (custom or stock) from recovery as loonatik suggested or possibly restore a backup if one exists. Just sounds like /system was formatted and nothing flashed afterwards.

Thanks for confirming. If you can hold volume-down while powering it up and get into ClockworkMod, flashing another ROM is just a matter of a few button pushes.
Exactly what I thought. I've loaded custom roms on the a855 and Eris before, but the above file won't load. I'm wondering if the bl is locked but it has clockwork, so I'm confused...
That's an entire RUU. That's why. Go get just a ROM and flash through clockwork.
Hey just wanted to say that worked and thank you very much. I am a bit curious however as to why the full RUU didnt work...

A full RUU contains a LOT more than just a ROM. It must also be flashed differently; through the bootloader and not recovery. An RUU contains a new bootloader and radios, as well as a ROM. If you'd flashed that RUU correctly through the bootloader, you probably would have lost S-Off and root, or ended up with a device that did even less desirable things... like bootloop.
Thats what I actually tried to do. I renamed and tried to upload through bootloader but it failed. I've flashed RUU's before but never had the issue which worries me a bit. Could be my "bad luck" saved my butt from a more serious issue.
However I loaded the PlainJane rom and it appears I killed my radio now so my journey through aggravation has not yet ended. lol. Im going over your very helpful Q&A post now and seeing if I have a compatible radio for the ROM.
Edit: Nevermind, it seems to be good to go. Thanks again for the help.

in the rom thread most devs put what radios are compatible and a link to the radio. Not sure how new plainjane is, but most of the newer radios work with all the custom roms.

If you used Revolution or updated to the patched bootloader, it's designed to not allow flashing over. That's probably why it failed.

You want this thread.
Kernels for all Current Rezound ROMs
You want the last one that says, "Currently running a ICS ROM after installing the OTA:"
Download that to your SD card, reboot into HBOOT, it will update the kernel and you will be able to use the phone again.
Edit: Oh and there is no S-off as of yet. But if you are loading ROMs then I assume (yes I know what that stands for) you already have the bootloader unlocked. And that will allow you to flash kernels, which is what you need in this case.

Also, not to burst your bubble, but the ota that you are trying to install, is NOT ics.. Although we all wish it were, its not here quite yet. The ota you are working with is a fix for the radio, some battery drain and a few other issues. Good luck and hope ya get it up and running. I personally seen a big improvement with the new radio, but others have not..

What??? What happened to having everything resolved:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483015
If this is a new panic due to trying to get ICS on your phone you really need to study up more before playing around with the phone. As mentioned above, there is no s-off on this phone. And there are plenty of threads about older version errors, the mainver error you most likely got.
But if you go messing about before you know what you're doing then post panic threads every time you hit a glitch without searching... well... that just gets old. Especially when you are trying to do the impossible.

I went through mainver hell getting the update to work, but after I finally got it working I can't honestly say I've noticed any difference whatever. My phone worked perfectly before the update (best phone I've ever had by far) and it still does but it doesn't seem any different.

The phone is completely clean external and internal just gave up on it is there a rom I can download to completely restore the phone?
If you are looking to just go back to stock you will need to do a few things.
First is re-lock the phone, details at the link below; this link also has links to the RUU files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472606
Second is download the latest RUU from the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338916
Remove any PH98 files you might have on your external SD card.
Run the RUU file and follow the directions.
This will revert the phone back to stock. In order to root the phone afterwords, you will need to unlock the boot loader again. Please refer back to this guide to help you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472606
After that its back to installing CWM or Amon-ra recovery.

I did some reading and found out this could be because I was S-on with hboot 1.50. So I found the JBEAR method for achieving s-off. It said I had to go back to stock so i tried to install a stock rom. didnt work. bootloops non stop. I tried a few different versions. odex, deodex blah blah blah. non of them worked. i only got bootloops. So I decided I would try and reinstall the Clean rom. That worked. I was able to reinstall it. I still wanted to try and get back to stock so I Got the RUU EXE and gave that a try. I only got errors and was unsuccessful at the RUU. So i figured what the heck I will try and do this with the rom i am already on. (since it says that it can work with some custum roms) gave it a try and got the still sober error a few times. I have tried about 5-6 times now with no luck. the phone wont boot into the rom. only the bootloader/fastboot. when i try to load CWM it wont mount my sd card so i can try installing a rom. if i try and power on the phone normally it just goes to a black screen with the word "juopunutbear" hanging above a phone. What should my next step be XDA friends? what can I do to get myself out of this situation. and wind up with soff and some devil toast!?

Boot your phone into fastboot. Plug it into the computer. Open up your command prompt and change your directory to whatever folder you created when you unlocked your bootloader. Then type fastboot oem lock. After doing this, you should be able to install your stock ROM either form your phone or via RUU on the computer. Let me know if you have any problems.
So heres the Update:
I finally got the phone jbeared. and installed jbear hboot. flashed devil toast and got no service or wifi. everytime i tried to connect to wifi the phone would reboot. did as mush reading and digging as i could to find out if anyone had the same prob. couldnt find anything. and wanted to go to bed for the night. so i just flashed back to clean rom dev edition because i had no problems with it before. but now I cant send or recive text messages. my data works fine. but no SMS at all. i get sms errors everytime i try to send one. i used one of my friends phones to send myself a text and i didnt receive it. what do you think the issue is?

Try reflashing the radio (PG86IMG.zip). Put it on your SD card, and boot into bootloader and follow instructions.
I never quite understood what radio I should use. How do I go about finding that out?

Your phone should reboot and it should do the hands free activation......
And for the issues you are facing , are you wiping every partition (except sdcard) before flashing a new Rom? and before doing s-off were you flashing boot.IMG manually from fastboot after flashing ROMs?

try making a call and you will be redirected to sprint for activation. if that doesn't work, try restoring data profile once again and then make a call
no luck. "error #16 switch 531" is what it says after ringing once. then hangs up. doesnt redirect me. tried up the same thing multipule times. no luck.
can you contact sprint from another phone? tell them about your activation issue.....don't tell them you s-offed your device .
Yea. I will call them tomorrow when I get off of work. Any advice on that I should say to them. like what caused the malfunction, ect...?
check if this helps support.sprint.com/support/article/...e-wh164052-20110615-165318?&INTNAV=SU:DP:HDIB
About a month ago I rooted a HTC EVO 4G LTE, installed the recovery with touch screen and Cyanogenmod nighties.
It worked great, including tethering on Sprint.
Last week an update to latest Cyanogenmod was made. Phone worked normally, until today when screen stopped responding completely (physical buttons were working), including after rebooting. On a second reboot phone was stuck on a boot loop.
Went into bootloader mode and tried to go to recovery. It would boot loop again. Noted that it said UNLOCKED S-ON (I thought it was supposed to be S-OFF). I tried flashing the boot.img from latest Cyanogenmod. Nothing. Tried reseting from the menu. Tried more things. Nothing worked. So I downloaded and used the latest version of RUU after fastboot oem lock. RUU was successful (no error, phone no longer displays HTC developer message), however it's still stuck on the boot loop. I thought RUU would restore it completely.
What am I missing?

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always=SG3
I followed the instructions.
Then I tried all RUU that I had and always got Error 140.
Finally, found in a rooting pack RUU_JEWEL_CL_JB_45_S_Sprint_WWE_3.15.651.16_Radio_1.12.11.1119_NV_2.87_003_25007_release_299302_signed.exe which worked to restore.
However, the phone is still in the same state. What do I do?
How long did you give the phone to boot.? Also did you flash the firmware zip after you relocked your boot loader?
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always=SG3
Phone is RELOCKED.
What I did:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash zip jewel_jb_ota_firmware.zip
Then used that RUU to restore. After this I left the phone without touching it for about ten minutes, but it keeps restarting (never passes booting stage).
Try this. Remove your sd. Then back up all your data. Then format it threw your PC and return it to factory defaults. Then put it back in your phone and redo the steps. Also were did you get the ruu your using from ?? Also if that fails to work look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045935
And try the firmware zip with the stock recovery. Then run the ruu. Hope this helps.

Does it matter if the SD is in?
So, I took out the SD card, repeated those three steps and I should use RUU again.
The RUU is from 3.15_RUU_PLUS_ROOT.zip.
I'm going to try again now with no SD.
Same result after trying without SD card. Also I did flashboot flash zip
Code:
PJ75IMG_3.15.651.6-firmware.zip
from the link you provided without help.

Yes the sd card should be in your phone. Also your trying to go back to stock so using the ruu that's stock with root might be the issue given your phones current state. I'll try and find you just the stock ruu with no root, unless you have one or if you know were one is download it and run it. Also when I posted about the SD card you were only supposed to remove it to "back up your data" and then "format" it. After you have formatted it then place it back into your phone. I'm not aware of any potential issues with running a ruu without the SD card being in the phone, however I would strongly suggest always running the ruu with the SD in the phone. Its what I've always done. Also make sure that your battery is over 75%. And did you flash the one with the stock recovery? There are several firmware zips on that thread but the one with the stock recovery is the one I suggested you try. And I'm not sure what the "without help" post is about. I'll help you as much as I can and I'm sure if I don't reply to you right away that there are more than enough knowledgeable members in this forum to help you as well. Take in mind that phones are so easy to screw up but it might take some time to get it back up and running. But troubleshooting is all part of the process.

I'll try it again with the SD card in the phone. No, the RUU I'm using it's in a pack for rooting and updating. I don't think it's modified at all. I don't even think RUU can be altered and signed anyway. I'll search for another RUU again.
Yes, the one that I flashed is
Code:
PJ75IMG - Firmware zip with hBoot and stock recovery (signature intact)
http://d-h.st/sKO (MD5: 0d8f9d65e29c1c824654bf88b9438f15)
and I had enough battery. (It was supposed to be without luck not without help).
So, I'll flash the above mentioned PJ75IMG, then use the RUU (I'll search for one that's in no pack, but I'm confident it's not altered) - all this with the SD card inside.
Thanks for your help.

You can't flash a PJ75IMG.zip unless you are S-OFF and the file you posted above is not an RUU it's just the updated firmware
It didn't work.
So I followed the steps from this link.
After using HTCDev to unlock the phone and I try to open RabiesShot, it reboots the phone but it's not able to connect. Sometimes the phone goes in a loop, sometimes the phone boots (it did boot twice). However, even when it booted, the screen didn't work at all, which is the original problem.
Right now the phone is ON but the only thing that works is the power and volume buttons (screen and soft buttons do not work). I've also noticed the phone reboots alone.
Any ideas left?
(This is my friend's phone. Anyway, I'll convince anyone to stay away from HTC. Nexus is so much better than this...)
Its not the phone its the user. I've never heard of a phone hacking itself. So usually the fault is the owner of the device and not the device itself. And In this case I'd say its user error. Also I'm lost as in what your doing at the moment. I thought you were trying to go back to stock? Now you post says your basically trying to obtain s-off. If this is the case then you make it extremely difficult to try and pin point what's actually the issue with your firends phone because you jump methods. So at this point exactly what are you trying to do ? Are you trying to go back to stock to gain s-off ?? Also if you come here to receive help with your issue you should always try the posted methods first so the member that's helping you is aware of what steps your taking and what your going to do. If not then it becomes difficult to help you.

Not hacked itself, just not working. At least, that's what I've been told. Right now I'm trying to make it stock, but since what you proposed didn't work I tried different things such as obtaining S-OFF (no success).
The comment regarding HTC wasn't necessarily related to this case but in general. Just look how miserably is the process to just obtain root and unlock the bootloader. And in many cases is not even possible until some exploit is found. Why...? HTC used to be great.
I'm just trying to get this phone work again. Initial idea was to go stock, since it seems logical that it should be straight forward.
So I tried everything you have posted, including the last instructions you left me (backup everything off SD, deleted everything and inserted SD in the phone, then repeated the process).
Thanks for your help.
I understand your frustration about the issues with the phone in its current state. However if done correctly gaining root/s-off can be achieved in less that an hour. I do realize the fact that even if guides are followed to the exact directions that issues still occur. But that's the risk you take when you modify you phone. Your aware of this I'm sure. However that's why xda is a great website. Not only can you get the software to modify your phone, you can also get help in case the process didn't go the way it should have. You can't dispute the fact that there are more than a few members with the evo-lte who had no problems at all with gaining root or s-off. As far as the steps I suggested there was no guarantee that they would work its just the process of trouble shooting to see what will work. If you don't mind can you post the exacts steps you took before you tried to achieve s-off ? Also can you post the links to the exact ruu and firmware you last used as well.? Also if the phone is on try powering it down and attempt to boot into the boot loader. If your successful then try factory reset.
