[GUIDE][UBUNTU]Decrypt HTC RUUs - XDA-University

Hello guys this little guide will show you how to decrypt the HTC's RUUs already Unruued (sorry for the difficult language )
in few words we will decrypt the rom.zip obtained by unruuing a RUU, if you don't know how to unruu a RUU then follow my guide here
Also this tool is made by kmdm, he is the man ! all credits goes to him.

WHAT DO I NEED?
1- Ubuntu (i'm on ubuntu 13.04 but also other Linux based distros should work)
2- rom.zip (follow the above guide if you don't have it)
HOW TO INSTALL THE TOOL
Ok guys now we are going to install the tool
Create a folder named htc_tools (if you already did it in the previous guide then you can use it)
Code:
$ mkdir htc_tools
navigate to that folder and download the source of the tool by typing
Code:
$ git clone https://github.com/kmdm/ruuveal.git
ok now we have to set up this tool
Code:
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
Allright, now you are ready to use this tool!
Code:
$ ./ruuveal --device [device code name] rom.zip (name of rom.zip decrypted).zip
for example
and now you're done you can find the file in the ruuveal folder!

Good guide!
It can help some guys with the first look in HTC devices

yeah, HTC has changed the encryption method with the latest HTC One RUUs so it is also needed for the Devs that are jumping onto it

Thanks Matt, great guide, anyway, i will pm you again for this task

That's bigger than me mate i didn't make this tool so i cannot make it available for the DHD. I'm sorry to tell this but probably you won't see this for it cause it is an outdated device nowadays...

well, that's unfortunate!
BUT if I open this rom.zip, get the system.img and flash it through the recovery WILL it work? what are the risks of doing this?

Nope.
1) you can't flash an image (.img) in recovery
2) There are a lot of risk, don't so this.
3) Rom.zip is the base for develop a custom rom.
You have to extract the folder with all the folder and libs from it...

OK, I see. But what if I extract and then repack the contents of system.img?
Sorry for being so pushy and/or ask stupid questions but I want to have some kind of closure of this issue.
Thanks!

When you have the rom.zip you can build a rom with the kitchen or other thing..
Which issue?

The issue is if I can flash an original HTC rom... not the entire RUU, as it contains some other stuff which I don't want to change... recovery, splash, Hboot, radio...
the reason is, when I flash a new ROM and something doesn't work or stops working, I would flash this "stock" rom and test whether the hardware works or not. I know there is Android revolution HD which is basically a stock rom, but it has also some tweaks which I'm not interested in.
Hope I'm clear about what I want to accomplish.

So there isn't any issue.
And we are totally ot here, because this thread talk about how to decrypt a ruu.
When you have the rom.zip, you have to use this kitchen and build the stock rom.
p.s. Probably the rom you flashed aren't fully compatible with the hboot/kernel that you have.
In fact, is better use the full ruu.
If you're s-off, is the better choise, because you can flash the splash screen, the hboot and other thing in 2 min
Mine is only an advice

If once extracted you end up with a system.img you can flash this through fastboot just fine. You can also change the contents inside, remove and add things but it may not flash unless you are s-off.
And you can flash an image in recovery but you need to create the proper updater-script to do so.

Nice guide. I had to do it a little differently (running on Ubuntu 13.10 x64). Now if only I can find the right places in the open source to manually add K2_CL. Been reviewing the updates made on git and reviewing all the most recent changes given by dates in hopes to see what is added when support for a device has been implemented. Issue has been sent, but I'm getting impatient. Really need it for my project. :-/

What would it take to get this to work with the htc one m8? I would like to decrypt the rom.zip out of the official at&t 1.58 ruu. I have already grabbed the rom.zip out of the exe, but seeing as m8 is not listed here I was wondering if m7 or anything else might work for this. A lot of people are asking for the decrypted ruu so they can flash through fastboot. Thanks in advance for any advice.

You need to grab the ruu for that specific device and you also need to grab your devices' HBoot image. Send both to the developer and he can add support.

But I wont try it ! ARABE is not for me XD
Hi,
excuse me but are you sure that it will work fine on HTC Incredible S ? even if the phone is not rooted ?
I think that the Incredible S is protected (see in google : Root Incredible S signed)
and I can't risk my phone but I need to have the arabic language on my Incredible S
@sahbibenayed
This is probably an official (and HTC signed) ROM.. so you should be able to install it on your phone without any problem.
Still i take no responsibility in what happens to it!!
Thank you
Was waiting for an Arabic rom.
Should the phone be in any particular mode? I.e. bootloader or hboot for the ruu app to recognize it?

Sorry to ask this noob question, but Incredible S is my first Android phone. Do updating to this RUU (Arabic enabled) will prevent or cause any issues when HTC release its stock Android 2.4 next month ?
I managed to gold card my phone. I set my usb connection to charge only with usb debugging on and tried to install the RUU but I got error 131 again. Did I missed something here ?
I repeated the whole process 2 times with no luck ...

Good day to all!
Sorry for this question, I know it is asked and discussed a lot.. BUT!
I have searched and searched over google and XDA and can't find it no where.
All the links are out-dated and on some forums they write that HTC Runnymede is the official stock rom and on others they say HTC pyramide is the stock rom.
So I am very confused now and besides being confused, I can't find any working link for downloading the HTC Sensation XL stock Europe rom.
I need to unroot my device so I really need the rom fast.
I already 'relocked bootloader', only need the RUU.exe to unroot and install stock rom.
Please help me out.

hi , at first , you need to know that Runnymede is the name of stock rom for Htc sensation XL ,and pyramid is the name of Htc sensation ( the first one ).
then if you need to unroot your phone you can follow the steps on HTCdev.com the give you the steps to unroot .
after that ,all the runnymede.exe doesn't work ,i don't know why ,but some says that because the compatibility or the boatloader is locked,anyway,there is a methode to extract rom from Ruu if you want to install the official rom but i dont taste it , or install the official rom flashable on the section developer ,i use one of the and am really satisfied ,it look like the official rom .
i hope it will help u

Thanks for the information about which rom is for what phone
BTW. I managed to download the RUU.exe I needed, link provided above in my post. (download time over 1 hour.....)
I locked my bootloader by using 'fastboot oem lock' in cmd in windows while connected phone in fastboot USB
Then I re-started my phone and bootloader was 'relocked'. Then I started up my phone and turned on debug in development (options in android) turned of fastboot in options somewhere in android, I think under power.
Then just run the RUU.exe and it just installed stock rom, so it unrooted the phone. REMEMBER you can't install stock rom on unlocked bootloader, need to relock it.
But after that I just unlocked the bootloader again and rooted my phone and installed CWM recovery and installed ICE COLD ZOMBIE. But draw something app in android did not start. crashed and phone was a bit laggy. I had backed up my android with CWM before installing ICE COLD ZOMBIE, so I just restored that and everything was fast again.
Hello all, I'm new here but have a moderate understanding of all your delights
I recently unlocked the bootloader on my SXL, then instaled a custom ROM.
I have searched on our SXL forum and have found a few links to the RUU for Europe but non of these links work for me.
When the official HTC ICS update is released I would like to be able to install this so therefore will need the original RUU. Im in the UK and my operator is O2.
Please could one of you kind fella's provide me a link to a download for this.
Thanks.

EARLY before flashing the Ruu, you were in stock rom? did you use the same version as the one you had ?
I just want to confirm one thing, do the Ruu works on all phones or not ?

No the Ruu's do not work on ALL devices as far as I know.
You need your region's rom.
Mine was EU, and besides that, you also need to relock your boot loader first until you can install stock rom's
But the good part here is, if you lock your boot loader - > run RUU.exe (any) and if your phone thinks it's a good RUU.exe it will start flashing, but if your device does not match the RUU.exe it will say you have the wrong RUU.exe for your device.
That's at least what I have read

ok so the s off works now! so you can use this thread to talk about it. but i do have a question....

I believe you still have to flash the kernel separate from the rom. The only difference now would be instead of fastboot flashing the kernel you flash it through recovery.

Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
I wouldn't try anything like that yet. Wait for the dev's to set everything up. That is what I did on another phone. HTC is a bit different, may be you flash only the zip file containing the rom and kernel. I do believe that on HTC most phones do allow you to flash one file instead of having to flash separate files unless you wanted a different kernel then the one provided. You would do this in recovery by flashing a zip file.

Easiest way is to supercid, then you can run the RUU or even just flash the Rom.zip. either will work (I did the latter since I use linux.) Then you can use any Rom. Ics needs the hboot update from the ruu

Yes it did and all I did was extract the controlbear.zip in my data folder that is used for the Vivid All In One toolkit so fastboot and adb everything is in the same directory ... Ran the .exe and everything went thru first attempt I missed the timing on the first but second I used a video I saw for another phone doing the wire trick but the timing they did definitely worked well...

Ran the .exe and everything went thru first attempt I missed the timing on the first but second I used a video I saw for another phone doing the wire trick but the timing they did definitely worked well...

That might have been my problem.. not having it in a folder like that. Managed to get it working though.

Easiest way is to supercid, then you can run the RUU or even just flash the Rom.zip. either will work (I did the latter since I use linux.) Then you can use any Rom. Ics needs the hboot update from the ruu

So, I still need to flash ics ruu, which mean I must flash ginger ruu from att. Since there is no official ruu yet for raider 4g. Do I Vitter kev?

Just follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612685
Once you've got recovery installed and your rooted you can install any of the ICS roms. Some of them have already been updated so you don't have to flash the kernal anymore since we have s-off. Just make sure to check the instructions for the individual roms to see if you have to or not
I didn't run any ruu. Didn't relock my bootloader nothing like that. The simplest and least likely way of messing anything up I found was extract the ruu for ics. There will be a zip.called Rom.zip. I removed the hboot update itself (we don't need that one) from the zip. Then I.did fastboot reboot OEM-42. Fastboot flash zip Rom.zip.
Took a few minutes to flash. Rebooted and everything was working. The hboot I have is already higher (the one they included with juoponutbear) then the is update. But you need to get the new firmware from the ruu fo be flashed still.
Follow the guide previously posted and you should be fine tho. I just used a slightly different method to do.it myself

It will be in there, if you open rom.zip and find firmware.zip inside that, its in that zip (recovery.img), just pull it out, however the problem is, the RUU's and zip's tend to be encrypted.

HTC Desire 510 - Problem overwriting memory block

Hi Guys,
Step 1.
I've dumped /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 which is called "Board info"from my HTC onto my computer and opened it with Hex editor.
Step 2.
This file contained some data and CID followed by IMEI. I've edited the CID to 11111111 HOPING that I'll get a superCID. I've overwritten the existing /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 file with my modified file. Operation succesfull and no problems shown by ADB.
Step 3.
I verified if I've done Step 2 correctly by repeating Step 1 and surprisingly the /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 doesn't seem to be overwritten which makes me really sad and I'd really appreciate if someone would be so kind enough to help me by answering why are my changes not taking effect ?
P.S. I've had the whole /dev partition remounted to be read/write as well as that to be extra sure I've changed permissions to 777 for /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 but I'm stuck at step 3, the only answers that come to me are that either I'm doing something wrong or the phone doesn't allow me to overwrite mem blocks.
PLX help :crying:

Thanks for your answer, I wasn't aware of that. You probably know the next question though - How do I get S-OFF ? I've tried an app called *SunShine* but I've had no success with it because it threw an error saying that I need to have a different ROM for the app to work. Ironically the reason I want superCID is to get a different ROM onto my phone ...

Sunshine does work 100% I can vouch for it. You simply need to go back to complete stock by using an RUU once your phone is completely stock including the stock recovery you can either ask me here for help with it or find @jcase over on his website theroot.ninja and I'm sure he will be more than happy to assist you with it... One other thing though if you're using a 64 bit phone it's not going to work with the sunshine app.

I have stock RUU downloaded and waiting but I can't install it because it's CID doesn't match with my phone CID. That's why I want superCID and that's what I meant when I said I want to get a "different ROM on my phone" , I should have made myself clearer in the last post. I'm currently running CynanogenMod 12.
So far I've tried the GoldCard maneuver and dumping memory block followed by hex editing and re-dumping it onto my phone (hence this thread) as well as the above mentioned SunShine app.
It feels like I'm drastically running out of options here, do you have any other advice ?

You really don't even need to be going through any of that crap if all you want is to use another rom... All you need to do is get an unlock code from HTC by giving them the token from your phone then you flash the unlock_code.bin and then flash a recovery of your choice I use twrp 3.0 at the moment because it's the newest one and make sure it's specifically for the HTC Desire 510 or it won't work after you flash the recovery you make a backup of your system before doing anything else so you have something to fall back on just in case and then you download the rom you want to either the sd card in the phone or to a computer and flash it and voila new rom... I suggest you search how to unlock the HTC Desire 510 bootloader and then search for how to root the HTC Desire 510 and after you read the step by step instructions you'll be able to get the rom on your phone... You'll need to install minimal adb and fastboot to c: drive to flash anything at all so download that too.

I've got it all done otherwise I wouldn't be running CynanogenMod 12 which I mentioned above. The thing is I don't have the backup I made for my original ROM. After an extensive research I've found a stock ROM which is suitable for my phone but it is not in the form of an image or zip file. It's a .exe Rom Update Utility (RUU) hence I'm dealing with all the stuff I've outlined in my previous post and looking for more help.

So I'm guessing you're using the CM12.1 that patrik made because the other one doesn't really work correctly and that leads me to believe your phone is a 64 bit then correct? What phone carrier are you using? I need a name.

Yes, Precisely CM 12.1-20151110-UNOFFICIAL-a11ul by patrik. Yes, my phone is 64 bit indeed. As for the carrier I've bought my phone unlocked so I don't know the original carrier, however, after investigating into my CID which is HTC__052 it turns out that Tesco is my carrier BUT I was using my phone with Vodafone UK the entire time and that's the RUU that I was trying to flash onto my phone with no success so far...

Because the Vodafone' CID isn't HTC__052 so you'll need to flash the Tesco one and you really don't have much of a choice at this point because there's no s-off for the HTC Desire 510 64bit and you unfortunately cannot change your CID without being s-off so your best bet to get stock back is to use Tesco if there's even one available.

I'm not sure which one you downloaded since it's showing me a whole list of them. If you find that the files are corrupted that's why they won't work.. in any case, do you have the unlock_code.bin from HTC? Save it forever.
Download this and place it in the backup folder on your sd card and then boot into recovery and flash it...

Are you sure? Did you try to boot it? Some people even have to extract the boot.img and flash it after the installation process finishes. What recovery are you using? Did you do a wipe on the partitions before flashing?
Yes I booted it and prior to writing my previous post I opened up the fastboot and tried fastboot flash of boot.img that I've extracted from that archive, the phone rebooted and that's about it, no changes made.

I changed it to match your CID so it would work. I made it awhile ago I just had it on the sd card so I changed the CID to yours and uploaded it.
