Yes I did search, but I couldnt pinpoint where anyone specified how to flash just a radio update. I just flashed Irus Ultralight vanilla 6.1 rom, and am loving it. i was going to update the radio to what i believe is the most recent 1.57. I have the 1.57 NBH file, just not sure how to get it flashed to the phone. Do i just replace the old nbh file that is in my ultralight vanilla folder on my PC and then run the romupdate utility again? That scared me a little as the ruu_signed.nbh that came with the irus ultralight vanilla is 59,630kb, and the updated radio nbh file I have is 13,854kb. Does that make sense?

Hi
Just replace the ROM NBH file with the 1.57 NBH file and reflash again. It will leave the ROM behind on your PDA and just change the radio. Its a FULL restart again, so backup first.

thanks for the response...responderman I got brave and replaced the .nbh file and reflashed...Appears to have updated the radio just fine.

Good, I'm pleased. The only fault I had was remembering to save the ROM nbh file somewhere else and not just replace it otherwise I had to download it again.
How would I go from s-off back to s-on?

Using fastboot from the PC, as in
Code:
fastboot flash hboot name-of-hboot-image.nb0
(The phone needs to be in FASTBOOT USB mode (coldstart with Send+End), and an acceptable USB driver needs to be installed on a Windows PC)
The S-OFF bootloader is happy to let you replace itself - it is running in memory when you interact with it, not directly from the NAND flash memory.
You can find the .nb0 files inside any of the HTC leak PB00IMG.ZIP ROMs, or the "rom.zip" files embedded within the RUUs. (Note that the built-in Windows "compressed folder" methods for extracting a zip file will not work with these HTC .zip files because of the way that HTC "signs" these zip files, but the 7zip Utiltity for Windows will work).
The 1.47.0000 S-ON bootloaders are only found in the MR1 and MR2 RUUs; all of the "Leak" PB00IMG.ZIP files from HTC (Leak-V1,-V2, and -V3) contain the 1.49.0000 S-ON bootloader.
[SIZE=+1]Please be aware that flashing the bootloader is the single most dangerous thing you can do to your phone, and that if you flash a corrupted file to the bootloader you will certainly hard-brick the device. You absolutely must VERIFY THE MD5 SIGNATURE of the bootloader .nb0 image file before using it with fastboot! Fastboot provides you absolutely no protection from errors! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! You can find checksums listed in this reference post[/SIZE]
For clarity, I will repeat them here:
Code:
RUU___MR1 38899da4e5e002e3be22900f5f4eb6f7 hboot_7501a_1.47.0000_091023.nb0

PS I could swear I wrote a post essentially identical to this one within the last week
Can you please post a download link for either the MR2 or MR1 PB00IMG.zip files? I can't seem to find them.

[ Edit ] Updated - check Consolidated HTC Eris RUU/OTA/ROM URLs for the MR1 or MR2 PB00IMG.ZIP files - if you haven't already done the steps below. cheers! bftb0
I don't have a download link right now. If you want to wait a couple days, maybe I'll have something more convenient. In the meantime, the way to get these files is to run the associated RUU utility - but not all the way through. More on that in a second.
You can get the MR2 (1.17.605.1) RUU utility from this folder at shipped-roms.com - the MR2 link is the RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_1.17.605.1_release_signed_with_driver.exe link.
OK, now how do you "get" the PB00IMG.zip file out of the RUU?
Simple. You run the RUU right up to the point where you would normally be starting the install to the phone - but you don't do that. Leave the RUU running, don't terminate it yet. The point of doing this is so that the RUU unpacks all the temporary files it is going to use - including the "rom.zip" file. It puts all this unpacked junk in two temporary folders underneath your Windows user area, perhaps at
C:\Documents and Settings\<your_windows_user_name_here>\Local Settings\Temp
use your windows search capability to look for a big "rom.zip" file underneath there. (The two top-level folders will have long names that look like Windows registry keys). Note that you may have to diddle with your Windows Explorer folder settings to "Display Hidden Files".
Now copy the "rom.zip" file to some other location on your hard drive, and when the copy is complete, exit the RUU utility. (You can't do this until you have copied the file someplace else first, because all the temporary files get wiped when you exit the RUU).
You can then rename the "rom.zip" file to PB00IMG.ZIP. If I am not mistaken, the MD5 checksum of that particular (1.17.605.1) "rom.zip" file will be 9e9ad31f01bbcb05157443287f4f38dd

PS. Note the "_with_driver.exe" part of the RUU file name. All the RUUs attempt to install a USB driver for the Eris on to your PC. Since MR1 and MR2 came out one year ago - a couple months after the consumer release of Windows 7, the drivers might not be the same quality as whatever you have on your machine now (if it in fact installs the driver despite the presence of an existing driver). Just a heads up in case it tries to kang a crappy driver into your Windoze box. You might want to take a restore point just before running the RUU in case you find you need to un-kang the driver from your PC.
Thanks for the download links. I had just extracted the rom.zip and found the bootloader and figgured that I should check the tread one more time. That's when I saw the edit! I guess I just have bad timing . Anyway, I went ahead and extracted the bootloader, here's a download link for the 1.47 S-ON bootloader from the MR2 update for anyone who wants it: http://www.multiupload.com/9300LRSFZP
Thanks
I just noticed that I forgot to mention that the way that HTC "signs" those "rom.zip" / "PB00IMG.ZIP" files makes the "compressed folder" handling in Windows unhappy, so you need to use some other tool on windows to unpack those .zip files. 7-Zip will do the job, though.
You obviously got past that, though.

I used 7 zip. You mentioned it in your first response.

. I thought I had read that someplace recently! LOL
Worked like a charm, thanks bftb0. BTW I'm getting my fifth Eris tomorrow, I got so tired of this I tried to get a different phone, they refused, so I went to best buy added a line and got a free DINC, more or less, I just have to pay an extra $10/month, I'm throwing my old Dare on that line so I don't have to pay for data. Now I can play with my Eris all I want and don't have to worry ruining my only phone

I'm glad people are getting some use out of this stuff. 5th Eris? Holy crap, I guess I should feel lucky that the phone I got on drop day (Nov '09) is still hanging tough.

No kidding, my first one was amazing, ran stable and cool, no trackball issues. I got some dirt in the speaker, when it blew out completely I just got it replaced. If I'd have know all the issues I'd be having with these refurbs I'd have just bought a bluetooth and called it good.

Not for a lack of trying, though.
Just out of curiosity, is there ANY difference between the 4 or 5 different posts of the new .627 radio? Each author based them off the same file so the only difference could be what was done once they were pulled from the full OTA? I imagine there isn't but is there?
I downloaded a couple of them when they first came out and one later to see what the difference was because of the md5 concerns. All (of the ones I saw) have the same exact radio images that get flashed. One had an extra file added by the tool that was used to compress it. The others just used different compression tools to zip them.
If you are really concerned about mismatches, you can probably extract the actual .img's out and verify the md5's are all the same which they should be since they all came from the same OTA leak.
Not concerned - just curious
anybody? specifically the .nbh files given out in a xtc clip and not the old ruu format?
i wish to edit the file to remove how it asks for the htcsim/ tell it to always confirm that its there. i am aware that this would not work on s-on devices as the bootloader wont accept files that are not signed by htc, but i have a htc wildfire with revolution hboot in mind any programs and whatnot to do it with would be a help please
also 300th post XD
I am having trouble locating this file. It seems many of the links are dead.
I believe the file is named:
RUU_Express_Sprint_WWE_1.18.651.1_Radio_1.05.11.0509_NV_2.28_SPCS_release_192501_signed.exe
Also if someone had the 2.23.651.1 RUU that would be awesome.
In case anyone was curious, some kind user provided the RUU here:
