Does anyone have a good downlink for RUU 4.03.605.2? I have searched everywhere to find one. The androidpolice site seems to be down as I get a javascript error when I try to download from there and none of the mirrors work. I tried to download from the dropbox link posted in a different topic but it was corrupted everytime I downloaded. I s-off'd as soon as I could and I haven't updated anything since except changed roms and want to update to the newest update and then go back to my current rom which is viper 1.0.3. Thanks for any help. Once I find the link I just need to flash the ruu twice, factory reset, flash jbear hboot, recovery and rom of my choice is that correct?
I distributed it as a torrent file within a few hours of Android Police posting it. Apparently uTorrent isn't very popular in these forums.
If we had a hundred seeders it would be the fastest way to download the RUU file.
If you like using uTorrent, here is the torrent file

However, I don't think there are many seeders.
regards,
Howard
P.S. After downloading remember to check the MD5 with that published by Android Police

I tried that one about 8 times yesterday and it never worked so I tried it again and I get the same error as yesterday "{"INFO":"failed posted hashcheck","SOLUTION":"please make sure you have javascript enabled for androidfilehost.com. Hit the back button, enable javascript and try again please. we promise we are probably not doing anything nefarious. maybe. no promises though."}" My javascript is already enabled and I am running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit w/windows explorer 9. I downloaded that bit torrent but it says it is corrupt and it took 4 hours to download.
Edit: I just tried it on Windows XP with explorer 8 and got the same error message.
Edit: Just downloaded Google Chrome and it is working. Internet Explorer is the problem.
Edit: I downloaded 3 different times from the androidfilehost website and from 3 different computers and all 3 times the zip file was corrupt.

Try the download from your phone. I had the same invalid folder message when downloading it from a PC. Once I did it from my phone, the download worked.

Thanks, I actually just tried that and it downloaded about 10x faster but I had the same error message. I verified the MD5 and then used a zip file repair to recover it and it worked. I just flashed it twice but it did fail on MDM_CUST, TPZ and Radio Cust2 and then I did a factory reset. It just rebooted and appears to be working correctly.

Thanks. there servers appear to be down. I'll try them again later. My phone appears to be working but the last update had 3 things fail on the update so I will probably redo it once I find a good download think. Thanks again.
EDIT: I got the same corrupt error message from shipped-roms as I did from Androidpolice on both my phone and computer. It got me thinking and it ended up being my winzip program was saying it was corrupt when it wasn't. I changed to 7zip and the error message went away and I just reflashed my phone and it went perfect without any errors. Thanks for the all the help.

you may need to get a card reader so put the ph98.img back on the sd not in any files and install it in fastboot again twice

Hey guys,
I've been searching for an answer for days now and I finally decided to make an account here on XDA.
I recently unlocked the bootloader of my Atrix (I have superuser and all) and now I want to upload a custom ROM (CM7). I followed the steps on the CM7 thread for installation yet I was left scratching my head and eventually was extremely frustrated after many reboots, configurations, and even a hard reset!
I used ROM Manager to get CWM, I flashed the latest version, and entered recovery mod, both from the app and manually. Nothing - just the Android Recovery. Tried many times, sometimes I was given a "failed to boot 2, starting RSD mode" error but most of the times I was just taken to the normal recovery.
I read somewhere that the install-recovery.sh file found in the system had to be deleted so I downloaded ES File Explorer, enabled root and writing and successfully deleted it (or so I thought), I was taken to the android recovery again! When I checked the file explorer again, install-recovery.sh was back... I have tried many times and it keeps on returning.
What am I doing wrong? I don't even know how to use fastboot, I am a noob and 90% of the language used on this forum is foreign to me hahaha (I traded my iPhone 4 for the Atrix less than two weeks ago). Also, I accidentally deleted my install-recovery.sh.bak file, is that important?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin.
Alright, calm down, and dont panic, I was a noob too, just dont do anything rash and this'll be fine. First off, the install-recovery.sh.bak thing, or whatever you said it was called, is just a backup of whatever it was replacing, hence the .bak file extension. Now, you can still get into Android right, everything boots correctly and whatnot, or are you not able to boot right now? Also, it says youre unlocked for sure, correct? Like, when you boot, it says Unlocked up in the corner? We're going to get you through this, just answer these questions first
Hey,
Sorry if I sounded dramatic haha, just typed off the top of my head.
Thanks for clarifying regarding the bak file. No, it does not say unlocked at the top corner when booting, i assumed having the superuser app meant that I was unlocked/bootloader unlocked. The am I missing something here?
Also, my phone is totally functional. In fact, I am typing this on it

I have been trying all day to unlock the bootloader with no success lol
I can't install RSDlite, it gives me error 29** or something like that, have tried multiple download links and I cannot install the x64 driver, my desktop is running 32 bit which is probably the issue I'm guessing... Any alternates? It gives me a "processor type not compatible" error.

Have you tried the automatic unlock linked to in Swift's N00B guide? It doesn't get any easier than that.
It's packaged with RSDLite 5.3.1. It's the one I used to unlock. Don't see why it wouldn't still work. There's a link to Motorola's driver page there as well.
Do not use the CWM packaged with it though, it's outdated. Flash romracer's or ROM Manager's.

I followed all the steps and eventually it got to the unique ID part, no ID was shown, googled it and found out that I had to use RSDlite first, but there's my problem.. Also tried the fastboot oem method, same problem.

You had mentioned you were trying to use the x64 drivers on a 32-bit machine. Did you ever get around to installing the correct x86 ones from the Motorola site?

See my previous post, #7. If you go to that automatic unlock thread, there is a link to the Motorola drivers page in the instructions. Look at the prerequisites.
Got it working, thanks guys!
Hey, everyone. I know this is probably the last thing you want to read, but I could really use some prompt help.
I tried the method posted in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686551
I got to step 3, but it didn't let me choose recovery. It just started installing the update. However, when it rebooted, it never got past the white HTC boot screen. I pulled the battery, pulled the MicroSD card, went back into the bootloader and tried running Factory Reset. Same result - stuck at white HTC boot screen.
Some more information:
1. Device is completely stock - no customer bootloader, stock Gingerbread OS. (2.3.4. That's why I wanted to try this in the first place. According to HTC, my IMEI number block hasn't been updated for ICS, yet.)
2. I renamed the file "update" as per the thread.
I'm hoping that the devs and contributors here will have mercy on a lowly noob who's having problems. I'm hoping to either return to stock and wait for the ICS update, or get to the point where I can install a custom ROM found here. (I was thinking SpeedROM). But, as my device has Gingerbread (or, potentially nothing at this point), I'm not sure where to go from here.
Thanks so much for any suggestions. You guys are the best, and I love this site.
Not sure if you've tried this yet, just name your file as PH85IMG.zip and place it on your microSD. Boot into bootloader and let it run the update. If this is what you did, then I have no clue what happened.
Just out of curiosity, why didn't you get the official OTA the official way if you're completely stock?
PS - This question belongs in the Q&A subforum. Remember that next time if you don't want to get flamed =)

The official update just never showed up. I literally lost count of the number of times I went into Settings > About phone > HTC software updates > Check now.
I've been on probably 4 chats and 4-5 calls between T-Mobile customer service and HTC tech support. The general consensus is that my phone's IMEI number is in a block that hasn't been authorized for the ICS update, yet. But, I really wanted to upgrade, and I think it's ridiculous that it's been 2 months since the update and my phone can't.
Ok, so I'm first going to apologize, since I've heard that double-posting is very much not accepted by forum communities.
I've tried several times to fix this. I renamed the file as was suggested, and went back into the bootloader. It (apparently) scans the MicroSD card for files, and says "Loading...[PH85IMG.zip]" (It attempts to load PH85DIAG.zip, says no image, and PH85IMG.nbh, and again says no image)
After this, it says "Checking..[PH85IMG.zip]" (That is the only thing it says)
Then, I get the options:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
If I go into FASTBOOT, it doesn't really help - just reboots either the bootloader (repeating this process, obviously) or the phone, which goes back to the white HTC boot screen it's hanging on.
If I go into RECOVERY, there's not option to install the .zip like the other page suggests, but if I try "Install update from SD card" it gives me "Illegal operation" and reboots.
If I go to FACTORY RESET, it acts like it's reinstalling, but leads to the same problem.
I'm thinking that I just nuked the phone's internal storage, and completely deleted the original OS. Any ideas on how to resolve that?
Or, if that's not the problem, where should I go from here?
It's funny....I troubleshoot computers for a living....but I'm lost right now on this phone.
Thank you for the continued help, gents! I'd really like to not have to throw away a $350, brand new phone....
I would guess you have one of the 3
the wrong carrier's ruu
A bad download of ruu
Renamed wrong (maybe you added ".zip" when it already had the ext but is just hidden by windows 7)

Hm....well, it's not the third. I doubt the first, unless the wrong file was linked in the thread I mentioned. I'll try downloading the file again.
So, if this still doesn't work for me, let's attack this from a different angle. Are there any other options? Could I change the bootloader, install the leaked ICS ROM, then install another one after that? Like I said, I had been considering trying out Project Butter Speed ROM. I know that the instructions for all that are in the Amaze Bible thread, but there's such a large volume of data there, it's hard to sift through.
Edit: Re-downloaded the file; no change. Any more suggestions?
I've been away a while, but if my memory serves me correct, to install it using ph85img, you must first relock your bootloader. are you locked or unlocked right now?

I never unlocked or modified the bootloader in any way. That's why I thought this would work. My impression was that basically everything had to be stock.

I think you need to reconsider the name of your file. If it shows up as PH85IMG.zip, more likely than not, it is actually named PH85IMG.zip.zip
This is due to how Windows reads files. If the file is of a known file type, it will not show up the extension (even though it IS there).
Try renaming it to PH85IMG and then put it in the root directory of the SD card and then boot into bootloader. It *should* read it.

I'm a computer support tech. Trust me, I did not add an extra file extension, lol. Windows does indeed recognize it as a zip file, so I know the extension is properly set. Name is just set to "PH85IMG"
Not trying to sound like a jerk; just making sure people know where I'm coming from.

I understand that, but if you read through the Q&A section, you'll know why I imperatively make that statement. Can you link me to which file you're trying to flash? I'm thinking it might be a wrong file you're trying to flash.
When you flash or update via a stock ruu, it may seem stuck but it isn't, first boot always takes time, read through this thread properly when I get home, the guys seems to be here, so I'm not needed anyways.

i am s-off . i got a replacement phone from verizon now i have to return the old one. im trying to get it back fully stock. the phone they sent me has version 3.14.605.12. ive downloaded several ruu. the latest one i flashed was the latest ota with global features. yes i set it in the root of sd card names it properly and did it through hboot. once it installs, the phone restarts and keeps on booting. it gets stuck on the htc logo screen . ive flashed each ruu more then twice and it still does it. any help? also can someone redirect me to a link for the 3.14.605.12 zip ruu thats not android police?
thank you
You can get the release just before that one here:
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Vigor
I don't know why you are having issues, it seems you are letting it run its course and you've run it more than once so it should have gotten all the files it needs. Sorry I can't help with that, but maybe the one in the link above will work.

thank you for responding. I see that those files are .exe how would i go about it?
Actually it looks like it is .12 up there now.
You would run it using your pc. Attach the phone and then double click on the .exe and it should do its thing. I remember seeing instructions somewhere... perhaps they come up with you start it, I think that's it. It will take you through it and has pics of what the screen should look like after it opens up.
Doesnt the phone have to be fully booted so the program can read it?
To be honest I can't remember what state the phone has to be in, it's been a while since I RUU'd.
Try it fully booted, if that doesn't work try it in hboot/[YOUTUBE]fastboot. You might need HTC sync installed as well.
I just looked for the thread of the shipped RUUs in the Development section but no luck, it may not be there anymore. It would have all this info in it. Let me check my notes, if I put anything in there about this I'll post back.

i flashed it twice and it still did not work. it boots to the htc screen and it just restarts again i left it for about 5 mins and it never fully booted. any other suggestions?
Yes! Try using the instructions in the doc I attached and see if you can use the ROM in your "exe" RUU to flash using hboot. Maybe it'll work. The doc tells you how to extract the ROM and make a PH98IMG.zip for it.
Also, you say you were able to run the exe RUU successfully? But then the phone wouldn't boot?
And... you checked the MD5 on all your downloads and they match?

make sure u delete the ruu file off your sd card, heard it can cause issues

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE, FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
ALL FILES HAVE BEEN TESTED AND VERIFIED WORKING PROPERLY!!
I have a few PJ75IMG.zip's files if anyone is interested. I have one to flash STOCK ANDROID RECOVERY only, one to flash T.W.R.P 2.6.3.0 (regular version ONLY) and one to flash T.W.R.P. 2.6.3.0._SElinux ONLY(Thanks to Osirus71 and Deck). SElinux version is needed to flash any CM11 roms.
All are included in ONE zip file,download and extract . Must be S-OFF and MUST place file on root of EXT-SD card for bootloader to read!!! If full RUU is needed,either pm me or look around on here,its here! Let me know if it works for you!!
IF YOUR CONFUSED AS TO WHAT A PJ75IMG.zip FILE IS USED FOR, SEARCH THE FORUMS, IT IS EXPLAINED IN DETAIL!

Your very welcome!!
I appreciate the guys who know how to do this sort of thing putting it out there but the link is dead. Its such a waste of time to figure out what forum message relates to what you need and get 404 File not found (SIGH)

What are you looking for?
the files on the first post in this thread. What I'm trying to do is this. I have two phones that are in boot loops. So looking for a recovery I can load through the scheme of having and pj75img.zip file with twrp or just the stock rom.
I'm sorry if I sounded like a total douche in the previous post. Just too many hits on the search engine that take me to nowhere. And I honestly don't understand what happens to the files. Are they removed for some legal reason? If they were moved why not update the link? Anyhow. Thanks for the concern. Its appreciated at this point.

They were Dropbox links the OP probably just deleted them.
Easiest way to fix your problem is to RUU
3.17.651.9 this was the last official OTA/ RUU sent out by HTC.
[ROM][FIRMWARE][RECOVERY][STOCK] Sense 5, Android 4.3 Final Update - 4.13.651.4 alot of good info.
4.13.651.4 Last official RUU for this device. Read the thread above there is alot of great info before using this RUU.
Official TWRP
I might have this all wrong but here is my problem. Both phones just endlessly boot the HTC screen go dark and repeat. I can't install the update with fastboot, adb etc because there isn't a system thats running right. I don't thing the PC to phone update will work either for the same reason. I've tried naming what I think was the last stock version by putting it in SDRAM (in the root) and of course naming it PL75IMG.zip If I boot into bootloader it loads the img fine. When I reset its failing the same way. The phone is Security on. I don't know if its rooted because it doesn't get far enough to test. Perhaps I'm not loading a signed file?

You have to be s-off to use PJ75IMG files.
RUU should run regardless whether there is a system or not.
RUU = Rom Update Utility
I would like a stock recovery. Trying to bring the phone back to stock, only issue I have is the RUU fails when I run it (i have tried every ruu I could find including viperuu). I finally got one that I thought it was working, but the ruu failed and it brought the me back to 2.09 with now system and recovery kept failing. I dont know what all happened but I was unable to flash anything for a few days. Finally I found a PJ755IMG that got me back on 2.10 and I was able to flash again. I also found a stock sprint rom.zip all I need now is to be back to 100% stock would be, to get it running a stock recovery.
I am getting a "404" message that the files are no longer available... Does anybody have a copy?

It has been over a year since I got this phone. Normally, I rooted the day I received a new phone. But I didn't think that I had any reason to do so this time until I bought a Chromebook. Now I really need to tether.
Can someone show me where to start? It seems that most the threads I have looked at are pretty old and just spent a couple of hours going no where.
Current software is 4.4.2.
Thanks.

Does rumrunner work on 4.4.2? If not you may need to use firewater instead.

Firewater definitely works. I just got a DNA last night, running 4.4.2 and locked up. Temp rooted and ran Firewater and literally about 5 mins later I am unlocked and S-Off. :good:
OP did rumrunner work for you? I'm in the same situation trying to get hotspot to work after the KitKat update. Thanks

I rooted and unlocked the bootloader on the OTA Kit Kat. I thought it wasn't possible at first, but Weaksauce and Firewater will do it.

Could you possibly give me more details on how you did this. It has been more then 2 years since I rooted anything and I don't want to do anything wrong. Since you were successful with the same phone and software I have I would really appreciate it.

Hi there. First thing is making sure you have all the proper drivers installed and HTC Sync uninstalled.
I then installed the app to temp root and ran Firewater. The terminal commands are on the firewater site....if you need more detail or even a step by step, I'm happy to help and write something up. I just can't tonight as I have an obligation to attend to.
Let me know how you make out and if you need additional assistance I'll write something up tomorrow around this time.

Thanks for the reply. I have the instructions for Weaksauce and Firewater, but I don't want to make any mistakes here.
Where can I find the latest HTC DNA drivers without installing the HTC Sync program?
Where can I find the latest ADB download?
It looks like these are the last things I need to find before continuing.
I'm at work, but this evening I'll either find you a link or upload them to my dropbox. Hang in there...I'll help ya out lol...soon as you have everything, its literally like a 5 min process.

Thanks. You have been very helpful. I have rooted 6 devices without a problem, but always rooted when the device was new along with the tools to root. Alwayw made me nervous though.

Haven't forgotten ya...I'm just getting home. Have a few things to attend to.
You can get the HTC drivers from this post right here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000896
Ok, download the SDK from here : http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?hl=sk
Make sure USB debugging is turned on. Install the attached weaksauce apk for temp root. You can verify you're rooted by downloading superSU and root checker from the play store.
Unpack the SDK and you'll want to put the firewater file in the folder titled : adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321
Open a terminal from this folder by holding down shift and right clicking the folder, "open command window here"
Follow the commands given on the firewater site.
Profit.
Once S-off and unlocked go to the TWRP thread in original development and download a recovery. Flash that via fastboot.
Then flash super user zip for root...again, search that out. I'm running out of time so I can't right now...lol
This is all I did. Collect all your files first. Make sure your drivers are good to go before starting. Install the drivers, reboot the pc and plug the phone into the usb. Likely a driver install thingy will pop up with like 5 little circles...let it finish before you begin.
Good luck bro...I'll check in tomorrow or later tonight to see how you made out.

Well, didn't work for me. I am guessing I might have tried to root months ago. I drank a lot back then. When I ran WeakSauce, it said I was already rooted and did nothing. Then I ran Root Check, and it said I wasn't rooted. But I moved on through the steps. But when I got to the last step in FireWater, it said I need to run as root.
I noticed I had SuperSU app installed. So I uninstalled that, uninstalled WeakSauce, re-installed both and started over, but got the same results.
Not sure where to go from here. I almost feel like I should just do a Factory Reset and start over, but that could really screw things up too.
Man, sure am sorry to hear that..maybe a full RUU would fix you up. Then start over...I'm not sure. Maybe someone with more in depth knowledge needs to chime in here..
bummer.....

You know, now that I think about it, I did have full root before, but I wasn't thinking one night and got an OTA update that made me loose root. Maybe that is why I can't use weaksauce. I decided to start in my bootloader. Attached is a screen shot. Tried to go into recovery, but that failed. Just came up with a picture of a battery or something. Had to hold the power button down for 10 seconds just to boot normally.
Does the screen shot tell you anything? It tells me, I think, that the phone is S-off'ed and unlocked. but firewater complained about not being rooted. I am confused.

Hey, your phone is already unlocked! So just flash supersu thorough Fastboot to get root.

As said right above me....you're all set to go. Use fast boot to push a recovery and then flash super su zip. If you need the zip I can attach it later.

Funny. There have been other threads where people are asking how to root DNA 4.4.2. They have been referring them to this thread So I guess I am not SO dumb.
Anyhow, as I remember, there are a couple of ways to flash. 1) from the PC using ADB and from the phone using an IMG file right? What is the easiest way to flash the Recover file? Which version of ClockWorkMod is going to be compatible with 4.4.2 and where would I find the download? Also, one last question, which SuperSU version is going to be compatible and where is the best download?
