HTC preloaded some image files for the "stickers" in the duo effects camera. They are preloaded to /data/preload so you can either flash the zip at the bottom of the second post or manually copy them over to that directory. They (HTC) haven't fully implemented this yet... so you probably won't even notice them missing. The also preload calc and flashlight app this way too.
NOTE- This will work for S-on users provided their current software level is at or below this version. S-off users can user this either way.
OPTION 1)
Rename download file to 0P3PIMG.zip. Make sure you use an SD card formatted to fat32!! (otherwise the phone might not see it) Place file on physical SD card (not internal phone memory)... i repeat physical SD card. Boot up phone to bootloader mode and the phone will auto-detect the file and prompt to install it. Follow any remaining prompts to allow the RUU to flash the software to your phone.
-or-
OPTION 2)
Download file into working fastboot directory. Boot phone to fastboot mode and connect to pc. Type in the following commands.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip RUU_T6_Sprint_WWE_1.16.651.4.zip
first time you run this it will be short... so run it a second time
fastboot flash zip RUU_T6_Sprint_WWE_1.16.651.4.zip
The command prompt output will show you details as it flashes each partition and will show you when it has completed. At this time the green bar on the phone will appear 99% of the way across the screen.. Completely normal!~ Issue the next command to kick it out of RUU mode or optionally flash the custom recovery TWRP if you intend to root/flash custom roms and THEN issue the below command to get out of RUU mode.
fastboot reboot
(note) if you just want to reboot back to bootloader you can issue the command fastboot reboot-bootloader This will allow you to boot directly to recovery and start flashing/rooting fun.
I don't own this model phone... so if someone would like to capture the output of the command prompt I would be happy to add it to the OP similar to how I have my VZW ruu threads.

Not a problem. Also, under my android file host I have a mini sdk zip. You try using that on your pc too...it's a newer version of Fastboot/adb. All you have to do is unzip it and use it from wherever you unzip it to.

OK... so if you aren't S-off AND this firmware is older than what you have it will fail. Only S-off can downgrade. You guys don't have a newer RUU yet and there were two OTAs after this one. Definitely S-off that thing while you still can (assuming it's not too late).

I have developer edition device and have ruu for it to stock jellyben
But I found that I can't flash the ruu to go back to jellyben from sense 6 firmware and the error was the same as mentioned above in other comments .. android info fail too many links
And after a lot of trials, I found that the rug is fine not damaged so I flashed the firmware if sense 5.5 and then tried the ruu again and it works perfect
So from my point , I think that older jb ruus can't be flashed if u have sense 6 firmware
So only I need tho flash firmware zip of sense 5.5 not the whole system the try the ruu again although both sense 6 and sense 5.5 have hboot 2.49 but I think that the one that came with sense 6 have some modifications
Also I tried to flash from sd card but no go so the only solution is flashing hboot of sense 5.5
Maybe it's the same with Sprint devices but I think that it will be the same

Either way....without being s off you can't downgrade firmware anyways. On my vzw rezound, m7, m8, and t6 I can simply flash ruus up or down all day long.

Yes I know that I should be s-off
And that's why I said I should downgrade first to sense 5.5 firmware then flash the ruu
And I won't be able to downgrade without s-off
So I was writing only about the error when I already have a-off because it took me 2 days till I found this fix after many trials
posted a current RUU for s-off users here...

IF sunshine doesn't work on your current rom (have you tried running it yet).... you need to unlock your bootloader and flash a 100% stock older rom. Then use that to s-off. Then flash whatever rom you want and sim unlock.

The issue
If you flash new 3.15.651.16 JellyBean RUU and it only updates hboot to 2.09, phone might end-up in semi-bricked state.
RUU refuses to flash any other partition (even if bootloader is in locked/relocked state) so its impossible to return phone to stock rom.
Error message from fastboot flash zip is;
Code:
fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
sending 'zip' (659905 KB)... OKAY
writing 'zip'... INFOadopting the signature contained in this image...
INFOsignature checking...
INFOrom parsing start ...
INFOrom parsing finish ...
INFOzip header checking...
INFOzip info parsing...
FAILED (remote: 22 loading zip info fail)
What is causing this
Hboot fails to read ruu-info from new encrypted zip after hboot-preupdate and stops flashing process.
Solution
Solution is to flash firmware.zip from JellyBean OTA. Firmware.zip is "old style" zip file, hboot can open this zip and update radio and sbls.
Fix
- Download JB OTA firmware from http://unlimited.io/jewel.htm
- Download fastboot executable (google)
- Put all files in one directory
- Reboot phone into fastboot mode
- Make sure that bootloader is Locked or Relocked. If bootloader is Unlocked, relock it with command fastboot oem lock
- Enter commands
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash zip jewel_jb_ota_firmware.zip
NOTE:
If you see FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately) text after running fastboot flash zip command you have to run fastboot flash zip command again.
After this flash stock RUU again.
Permanent fix
- S-OFF your phone. With S-OFF phone you can always flash decrypted, unsigned and/or older RUU and get phone working again easily. :good:
Please report any success / failures into this thread. Also tell little bit information about your device, like;
- What hboot you had
- Was radio flashed through recovery
- Was hboot downgraded
- CID

I ran this... Worked to a T. Debating whether or not to s-off...
But, this did in fact update my radios..
Phenomenal. Just to be clear with what I did...
Ran Fuses instructions. Then I did the RUU GUI update in Windows... back to stock, Tampered in bootloader removed. Testing the stock radios and what not, but so far it's perfect.
*** Phone has to be RELOCKED****
I am not sure if I am successful or not right now. Phone is showing HTC black screen with green bar below it. The green bar is not ALL the way across, looks like 95% after running the commands. Not sure what to do so I issued "fastboot reboot"
Phone looks to be in bootloop so I got back into HBOOT.
First I relocked the phone. Rebooted. Then Rebooted into fastboot.
Then ran commands, screen shots are attached.
Seeing this message after running commands:
FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)
Changes noticed in Bootloader:
My RADIO updated from 1.02.12.0427 to 1.12.11.1119
OpenDSP updated from OpenDSP-v25.1.0.32.0405 to OpenDSPv31.1.0.45.0815
Update:
Put the phone into fastboot and then ran the windows Jellybean RUU. Looked like the RUU got about 98% thru and then gave me a USB error. Then the phone rebooted and it looks like everything updated. Phone is booting into JellyBean. Should I retry installing the RUU?

Fastest way to get support for DirtyRacun is to join #unlimited channel on freenode.
Lets keep this thread clean, semi-brick on 3.15.651.16 stock RUU stuff only.
Well guys, time to add some info. If you lock and re-flash the RUU file and you get "SBL VERIFY FAILED" errors (but the RUU still completes) and you can't htcdev unlock (signature failed), you should use this fix. Helped me get my friend's phone S-off using Dirty Racun.

Hello,
I have tried to flash a custom ROM to my htc desire x but unfortunetly I am a almost complete noob. I have been using Desire_X_All-In-One_Kit_v2.0 in order to complete the action. The problem is that i have never rooted the fone nor i have put in the recovery into it. So basically i unlocked the bootloader and thought it would all work.Well you know yourselfs it didn't.I have been looking all over the place for a way to get my phone fixed and i found one(ima Junior member can't post links yet ( Re-flash stock ROM (RUU) after bricking a rooted device)) .I have done all the steps but in step5 i get an error

I purchased a EVO 4G LTE for my sister a little while back and recently she had her boyfriend attempt to root it for her, and since I'm here it obviously didn't go over all too well. All he said he did was follow a video (which he gave me) on how to root for the newer software version. "Something happened and it didn't work so I watched another video and tried that" The phone is currently unlocked with S-ON and he flashed a working version of TWRP and cm10 couldn't figure it out and here we are. help please. Rooted using Linux. i did some reading and found out i had to flash the boot.img through fastboot. it just hangs at <waiting for device> in the terminal.

I'm guessing it's on the latest firmware (3.16)? That update breaks the touch panel on all non-3.16 roms (which would include cm)...the only way to downgrade is to flash the tp.img from the previous firmware (3.15), which requires s-off. I would recommend going that route as it makes things a lot easier. For example, once you're s-off you won't have to fastboot flash kernels anymore. Check out the dirty racun thread in Original Development for more info. If you decide to s-off, you can flash the old tp.img zip from the 3.15 firmware to get the touch panel working for cm:
http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...dio-Collection&p=220556&viewfull=1#post220556
Otherwise, if you don't want to go s-off then you'll need to flash a sense Rom that's using the 3.16 base (which I think most if not all are now). I recommend Viper4g, runs great and has tons of tweaks like cm.

Boot into bootloader and check the radio. If its 1.12.11.1210 then he took the 3.16 OTA and your only choices are what premo15 said.

I don't know if you can just install TWRP again or if you'll have to go through the HTCdev unlock again. You'll need the Unlock_code.bin for the Dirtyracun process anyway so you might as well get it again.

It booted to a stock rom (which is now 3.15), I was in shock that I had her phone working again. restarted to bootloader, noticed it was locked and s-on went back to the directions and had me unlock through the unlock_token and finall had me run "sudo ./RabiesShot...which is giving me errors.
Starting up...
Testing connection...
Test 1: Rebooting into bootloader
Waiting fastboot (18/60)
Waiting...
Test 2: Booting device...
Waiting ADB... (60/60)
Test 2: Booting FAILED
Reboot device manually
Connection test failed!
After this error I rebooted into bootloader and im S-ON with unlocked. can i jump right into s-off'ing it

Yeah, you should be able to run rabies shot again. Did you enable USB Debugging befor trying to run rabies shot? And are you running linux 32-bit?

Hello all,
I'm having a problem with putting a new ROM on my device. Goiung back to backup ROm has failed to as it seems the Backup wasn't complete
I thought it had something to do with S-Off, but someone from another thread said I should make a new topic as this would probably be another problem.
I wanted to go to the SuperSense DX5 ROM, but then i need to upgrade my hboot version and boot.img.
At this moment my hboot version is 1.24.0000. Also the the device is still in S-On.
When I try to load boot.img i get the following message
flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (4452 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.811s]
writing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: image update error)
finished. total time: 0.811s

Fot the hboot i get following message:

finished. total time: 0.234s

When i looked these errors up I Always ended up about S-Off or get stock recovery.img. Already got the stockrecovery.img on device but still nothing works.
Is there anyone that could help me solve this problem please? I'm completly not sure why now I'm not able to put ROM's on it anymore.
With Kind Regards,
Günther
1. You're trying to flash hboot meant for Desire not Desire X
2. Your hboot is 1.24, you cannot flash boot.img or ROM meant for hboot 1.25
3. You should flash only ICS boot.img, ICS recovery and ICS ROM
So find any ICS ROM in dev section and follow instructions there on how to flash the ROM.
Or go to general section and look for how to restore to ICS stock and update your device to JellyBean.
Then you can install all those JB ROM that you wanted to.
Remember this ? It's the same problem and the same way that you need to do to solve your problem.

Got it fixed, after some Stock rom install and then tried another ROM Shadow, and it seems to be working once again.
Sorry for my question. I might have done something wrong about the hboot version I think.

Good thing you still have S-On or else you would have a paperweight right now
Ohhh OK,
I just followed the guide on the SuperSense DX5 where they refered to hboot 1.25.
But I still don't get why i'm not able to flash a boot.img. Tried the ICS ROM I Always used before "Sense Revolution+ R2
But I'm not able to get this working anymore
But I actually wanted to upgrade because I had some difficulties with this ROM about my Mobile Data. Had high hopes that it could be fixed with a JB ROM for Desire X. The only boot.img and hboot i tried to install was meant for the Desire-X. I'm also using Hassoon 3.0 for Desire-X to have the right recovery flashed for ICS of JB.
Still I must be doing something wrong I guess now, but don't know what then.
So S-On is alright for this device then? I don't need to change annything for this device to try and put it in s-off?
Sorry if I lack a bit of knowledge to root. Thought I did everything that was needed, like I used to do before.

1. If you have a backup of your ROM, restore that then update to JB with OTA.
2. Or use the RUU RUU_PROTO_U_ICS_40A_HTC_Europe_1.18.401.1_Radio_10.21.40.06U_1.10.40.23_release_295191_signed.exe to restore your device then do OTA update.
Download : http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Proto
3. Or for more advance user, follow this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212067 but not sure whether all links still active for the needed files.
Option 2 is the best for you.
How-to:
1- in fastboot mode - relock the bootloader : run command fastboot oem lock
2- in fastboot mode - flash/run/double click the RUU; follow the updater instruction - next,update,bla,bla,bla until it finish
thanks ckpv5, I will try to do this now.
ckpv5, this fixed everything!!! Thanks a million times for helping me out this fast.
I successfuly rooted , Cyanogenmod 10.2.1-dlx. It was a stumbly road for me, fully grasping the steps (which now, i get it), S-off, waeksauce, SU, then the ROM.
my issue: after S-off, weaksauce, and SU, i was rooted, able to use the great apps etc, and had my stock - still tuned as it was before. was GREAT. none of that required a FULL wipe of my apps and data. Then i flashed Cyanogenmod, and as great as much about it is, (i had it years ago on HTC Incredible) there are a few issues that i CANNOT stay with.
Gmail account contacts / sync is all kinds of screwed. (not worried about cus all backed up and will get resolved)
My MHL adapter - usb misco to HDMI adapter - not supported
The HTC stock camera i LOVED. slow motion video camera i NEED. I hate the cyanogenmod camera. my instagram - www.instagram.com/benjamin.blue
and other(s) i forget this moment.
point is, can i uninstall the ROM and go back to the previous state of ROOTED stock, as oppposed to starting from scratch? and if i have to start from scratch, kindly point me towards quickest steps. If thats the case, i WILL now backup everything via titanium backup AND MyBackup Pro.
guessing i could use the backups i SHOULD have in CWM recovery, assuming i made one pre-cyanogenmod, and pretty sure i get md5 errors trying any restore.
thanks for patience - i have indeede googled like hell before making this post, on top of many full nights of brain implosion.
ben
EDIT - see next post - all i want is to unroot completely.

You must wipe data and cache when changing ROMs. App backup apps can cause some issues, so restore wisely.

i have been searching far and wide and am desperate to get my DNA back to stock, so i can activate it and use it again. i am trying every bit of sense and good advice and tutorials and my brain is just exhausted. i know i can get this, i just need a little help.
i have relocked it, and followed the instructions for running the RUU - RUU_DLX_WL_JB_45_VERIZON_WWE_1.15.605.4_Radio_1.00.00.1023_3_NV_VZW_1.98_002_release_290923_signed - exactly, and keep getting ERROR 155.
one thing i notice is during the RUU, it says going "from image" "to image" the from is blank. i click update ROM, it fills the "to" field with the RUU, 1.15, and, it runs for a minute ish and i get ERROR 155. Thanks guys I am really having a tough time.
i just tried again with new download of RUU. same results.

Why did you relock it?
Why didn't you just flash a stock rooted rom and be done with it?
probably because i didnt realize what i could or couldnt do along the way. i'm pretty noob and created a mess, a phone that boots up, into cyanogenmod, but will not activate. now i just need to get to square one.
Since you flashed cm, then your stock ROM was overwritten unless you made a backup. You'll probably have to reflash a stock from and setup everything again.

i'm ok with that - exactly what i'm attempting.
this is what you were referring to, right? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017525.
doing that i keep getting ERROR 155, searching what that could be. (now if i boot to CM recovery, files are missing, telling me the RUU install may have begun to overwrite files...but doesnr get too far.
by stock ROM you meant RUU as mentioned in thread above, right? as opposed to adb sideloading a zip ( "reflash a stock rom?")
im not sure where i went wrong, and at this point all i want is to get my dna to be able to be activated and have cell service working. (currently it boots up into CM, verizon tries to activate it, says it looks right on their end, i receive their test text, but, dialing anything, i get "mobile network unavailable.) so you can see, being not too apt in all this, there may be more than one way to get where i need. whether back to total stock, or able to activate in its current state - i'll take it.
i hope that all makes sense, i'm so appreciative for any of you guys' help.
The thread you referred to is to ruu (return to completely stock). If you can boot into CM, then do that and download Santods stock ROM in the development section. Then go into recovery and flash it.

Will try that for sure. I am still preferring to RUU and I keep getting the ERROR 155 - if can run that I can be at square one which is OK . I will try your suggestion though.

That ruu zip should work if the exe is giving you trouble. Be warned: ruu will wipe the internal SD, so back everything up before flashing the ruu.

That will happen and continue to happen, if the firmware on your device is newer then that of the RUU.
If you can downgrade your firmware, then you may stand a chance of flashing that old RUU.
But since you have relocked, I'm not sure you can.
I know you have to at least be s-off to downgrade, maybe unlocked bootloader isn't needed.
But I think that it may be. Good luck. :good:
If it were me, I would go back to unlocked and s-off.
Then flash latest firmware and rooted stock rom and be done with it.
thank you so much for the last few suggestions, i'm just wanting my phone back to stock i'm losing my mind.
could any point me to the way to downgrade my firmware to successfully run the old RUU?
Ive tried running the new RUU and i, as above, get ERROR 155. excuse my noobness, the help is great.
if i cant get this thing back to stock, so i can activate it - my goal - im gonna shell out the $100 and get insurance replacement. this is too complicated, but im not giving up.
thanks
ben
should running the newer RUU possibly finish installing? have tried but will again.
