I am trying to get HTC ROM EXTRACTOR from as i9000 to work on Ubuntu 12.04 but I'm not having any luck in doing so. I've done what it says at his post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2199638 and still no luck. Can anyone help me?
You can't root 2.04

I know but I was looking at this program and it lets you get the Rom file from the Ruu and mess around with it. I was thinking that if I can't get it so that when you do the Ruu update that the system file would be writable and you can use adb to root or something to that effect.

Its not possible means its NOT POSSIBLE. Why doesnt anyone take 2 minutes to read threads before posting? Jesus im turning into an old bitter man but there are literally 2 threads asking the same exact question on the first page!

You can't go around editing the ruu file. Unless you have a couple super computers in your basement that can break the encryption

There is an available tool that allows the extraction of the RUU exe to a zip for editing. The problem is the only available RUU is pre-ota, and post-ota devices don't allow downgrades.
Another problem is that the RUU's need to be signed by HTC. I'm not sure exactly how the signature shows up in an RUU, but HTC signs them. With S-OFF the RUU signature doesn't matter, but with S-ON, it does. If someone makes their own RUU, for example a post-ota rooted phone to make a 2.04 RUU that is rootable, it won't take unless you have S-OFF...
Basically, it looks like we need to wait for a 2.04 RUU leak that's signed, then maybe extract, edit, and recompile it.
Believe me if it was as easy as you think it is, the developers would have done it already. Its not currently possible to root it.

Had to relock s-on hboot 1.5 long story. After accepting stock ics update can I unlock again? will they give me a new code or is it a one time thing? Didn't save old email.

You'll get a new code. Just follow the same steps as before.

Best suggestion is to save it to your fastboot file easiest way to save the coffee for later the you should be able to use the same one. I've done every update through the RUU and never gotten a new code. Its been the same since day one.

Just out of curiosity, is it actually a new code or is it just going through the same process? I thought the ID that you had to send in was essentially just a unique ID for the phone itself.

How do I make an RUU rooted? Meaning I keep the custom hboot and recovery. I'm s-off. I flashed the latest global RUU a while back after being on clean Rom for a while, and hated having to push the hboot and amon ra recovery again. I'm running Newts one XxX 3.2.1 now and I love it, but I just want to remember what stock was like I guess lol. Maybe so I can appreciate the devs more. Can I just delete the hboot***file, boot_signed.IMG and recovery_signed.img files from the ph98img.zip and all be good? Or will it bootloop or possibly brick my phone.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Yes you can do that, just removing the recovery will do the trick. If you remove the boot from it, it will bootloop. That should keep you rooted and keep your current recovery. Be sure to unzip the zip file, then remove it, then re zip it up and run it
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Thank you. So I leave the hboot in the .zip as well? Won't that flash over the custom hboot and remove the fastboot option?

Ok cool. Thanks. That's what I thought from reading on xda for a while, but I wanted to make sure before I did it so I didn't have any issues and have to start over anyway.

I suppose I do need the boot IMG too since I'm moving from sense 4.0 to 3.6 and ics maybe slightly different too like 4.02 and 4.03

Well since the ruu will replace your rom, you will need to keep the boot.img that comes with the ruu

Am I missing something? Is there a point to have s-off now or wait until the devs do something with it first?

I'm at this part, but what is the appropriate filename they talking about?
Wait for the black HTC screen, then do this:
fastboot flash zip <appropriate zip filename from above>
The
psomething-dna.zip
Obviously with the correct letters and capitalization.

It's the zip that has your model id in the name. If you're on the DNA it should PL8320000-DNA.zip http://d-h.st/nOo
That's from step 3 in the original thread, btw. Also make sure you put the patcher from step 1 in your working folder, I missed that initially.
it keeps telling me that my device cannot be recognized or found. what am i doing wrong, i even checked my CID and its all 1's
Do you use wine or something or is there no way to do it?

scrossler decrypted the ruu.exe check it out in designgear's RUU thread in general.
What is a decrypted ruu?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Zip file removed from the exe. Should be flash able from recovery
Awesome, thanks for the tip.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Ok the decrypted RUU is the img files for the OS install. NOT flashable. I should have checked before I said what I did.
So how do you install that onto the phone?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
No idea off hand. I think it would install via stock recovery but don't take my word for it. I just use a vm on my mac to use ruu files
I think I'm just gonna go back to windows. I crashed ubuntu last night anyways.

Update Ur phone then do the moonshine
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using XDA Premium HD app
Look for facepalm
You could use Facepalm S-off, but what I would do in that situation is accept the OTA to Build # 2.06 and use Moonshine S-off. I don't know about Facepalm, but with Moonshine, it S-offs, unlocks bootloader, and roots so that all you have to do is install a custom recovery.
In shorter words, Update your phone and use Moonshine.
And P.S. This belongs in Q&A, not Development. You will most likely get more help there.

ok what the heck 4thed
I used face palm myself but from what it looks like moonshine is easier, so if your new then maybe think about it that way. But if you know your way around ADB, and whatnot then I recommend face palm like everyone above.
