[ROM] Restore to unrooted GB from ICS (AT&T)

Howdy!
What is this?
This is a PH39IMG.zip that you flash via HBOOT to restore your phone to stock unrooted Gingerbread shipping ROM. This will also remove Clockwork Recovery

Why should I use this/care?
If you've updated your phone to the Ice Cream Sandwich build that AT&T pushed out OTA, or flashed your phone manually, you may at some point in time wish to go back to Gingerbread.
If you do, you'll find that the PH39IMG.zip and RUU that you would have previously tried to use don't work, since ICS updated your HBOOT.
This is essentially a "return to warranty" kit. This doesn't remove the "*UNLOCKED*" flag on HBOOT, but it will allow you to return to some semblance of stock just in case.

Click to collapse
How do I use this?
Your bootloader must be unlocked to flash this.
Download the file, put it on your external SD, and boot to HBOOT. Accept the update when prompted.
If you're trying to return your phone to AT&T for warranty, you should probably also re-lock your bootloader also ("fastboot oem lock")
Please note!
This is not for HTC Raider / Velocity / Generic Holiday users!
This restores the shipping HTC Vivid ROM for AT&T.

Hopefully this should alleviate some of the fears associated with updating your phone.
I will upload a "return to stock ICS" ph39img here too soon...

Ok, I was stuck in boot loop after OTA, then going to the rooted rom. Could not get it to play nice. Tried this to take me back to GB so I could start over and did the above exactly. After running the update, which appears to work with the little status bar going up and down as it should, it gets stuck at the Hboot screen. (Attached.)
After pulling the battery, it boots to HTC white screen, reboots once, then sticks on the HTC white screen. I can get back to Hboot, but not sure where to proceed from here?

What I did was take out the sd card and put into a card reader and deleted the ph file then booted back into fastboot to finish process

You need to pull the PH39IMG.zip file off your SD card as Hboot looks for it to see if an update is available before it does anything else.

If your bootloader was relocked prior to attempting to flash the RUU or PH39img.zip, then youre doing the right thing.

You must have your bootloader unlocked to flash this image. You can re-lock it afterwords, but you may get a *SECURITY WARNING* in HBOOT, since if you have the new HBOOT, you technically should also have stock ICS.
Until a *working* ICS RUU surfaces, this is as good as it gets.

And that's why I just downloaded and am installing now! Thanks much!!

hey cubed, how are you?
before unlocking bootloader, i flashed the ics ruu so i'm on new hboot and radio,
since i unlocked bootloader and running a wc's 3.5 rom, however i have an issue, when i talk on the phone from speaker, ppl hear their echo, so i'm thinking radio issue, i tried to flash back the gb ruu and no go cuz of bootloader, so i downgraded with the method in OP but it didn't downgrade radio, i tried again to flash gb ruu and no luck, i put the radio.img from the gb ruu into ur zip and now it won't recognize it at all (guessing due to signature) so i'm flashing the stock ics ruu now to see if im gona have the same problem or not. by the way when i flashed ur downgrade zip and loaded, the phone would not connect to any network at all and being a stock rom the option to search for network is greyed out.
so i'm guessing bottom line is im stuck with this new radio since we don't have s-off correct?
is there any way so far to totally downgrade back to the original ship ruu ? bootloader, radio and all ?
thanks

I really don't think it's a radio issue. I believe it's a network issue. I've had an echo on several devices I've used from the original iPhone through iPhone 4 blackberrys inspire and now vivid. But it is not all the time just every once in a while.

yeah i've had it happen randomly before in some phones, but this is consistent every single call for the past 3 days. in different areas, with different people at different times.
i just finished flashing the stock ics ruu and it connected to the network fine and made a couple of quick phone calls and no echo
btw the ppl i talk to hear them selves, i don't hear any echo, it all sounds well on my end. im gona try another 3.5 rom and see what happens
EDIT: just tried holiraider, and it did it. leme see what other roms i can flash

so a quick update, even with a custom sense 3.0 rom, i can't connect to a network at all, it only works with 3.5 roms and i people i talk to have an echo, and only fix is running an ics rom, for some reason when i push the ics ril files into a 3.5 rom i loose all network connections, baseband says unknown and all the phone info except serial number is unknown in the hardware info.
so very strange. so even when using this guide, and restoring the fully stock gb i still cant use the phone
uploaded wrong screenies, i'll update in a sec
EDIT: well i tried again, and flashed thecubed zip and i'm back on the stock 3.0 unrooted, and i noticed that i was able to get the signal up and running when i toggle wifi. by default on first boot its on, so i connected to my wifi as usual, but i dunno why i just turned it off so the network came right up and all was fine with the signal. i turned wifi back on and no problems. i turned it off, no problems. so i restarted the phone, and it won't connect to the network, so i turn wifi on and now i am connected and have full signal. strange, so i wonder if that's due to the radio, or something happened to my phone since i seem to be the only one having those issues

ICS OTA fail.

Hello all,
I recently got a notification for a software update (ics!) and I quickly accepted and all.
The download dragged on but eventually completed with no problems... then came the installation of the OTA update which I accepted and it rebooted onto a recovery screen with no status bar or anything indicating that it was updating.
I AM ROOTED.
I WAS unlocked but I "RELOCKED" the bootloader which it stated on the recovery page.
I do have ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7 flashed as well.
If there is anyone who can advise me to get stock ics on this device?
Thanks!

well if you can still get into bootloader, I would suggest connecting it via fastboot from bootloader and running the ruu for ics....

Is it possible to run the RUU when the phone will only go into fastboot and the RUU file is on the computer?

I'm having the same problem.. But when it first tried to install the update it showed a dead android with a exclamation point above him. I relocked the boot loader but now the update boots into the boot loader. It says I'm relocked. I tried several times and it keeps going to the bootloader. I don't have a custom recovery. I tried to flash a stock ph39img.zip and when I rebooted it was just the way I had left it, and now when I try to do the update it says that I'm up to date and to check back in 24hrs. I've tried this several times, I've got the update downloaded.. Not sure what to do.

If you can get to bootloader, and you're locked or relocked, access Fastboot USB and run the RUU from your computer

I know. But in the situation I was in I wasn't having any other luck. There may be an official RUU out there, not sure...I had been pointed to this one so I used it. It seems to be working fine on my Vivid but I understand your concern.
Maybe one will be posted soon, if not already.

google ruu 3.26.502.56
Even though the RUU was leaked before being released "officially", it's the same RUU being used. They have not changed RUU version for this update

I found the official ruu from the htc support page. http://www.htc.com/us/support/vivid-att/downloads/
Works great for the most part. Seems like I get a bug here and there where I'll get a white HTC splash screen for a brief second when hitting the home key. I think I've seen someone else mention this some where.

OK, so if you have modded the stock ROM by removing HTC applications and Sense, then that is why the OTA update failed.
To accept and install the OTA you must have all the stock components in place, HBOOT, recovery and all the apps.

Download the stock ice ruu exe from the thread listing in the dev section.
Make a goldcard and then install.
Remember this method I think will work with a compleatly stock phone meaning s-on locked bootloader, no root and no custom recovery. Do this at your own risk. I have a inc s with cid 38, It worked for me.

As the previous poster suggested, just relock the bootloader and then run the official ICS RUU using a goldcard.
Then since you have unlocked your bootloader before, you can simply use the same unlock_code.bin to unlock the ICS bootloader and then you can add a custom recovery and root the system.

[Q] How to install OTA if rooted?

I've searched and searched and can't find this topic so here goes...
I have the DE and it is rooted. I'd like to install the OTA as I'm still running stock otherwise. Do I have to unroot to get it to install? For fun I tried loading it with CWM and that just locked it up.
Thoughts or threads I've missed?

im curious too :/ the only way i could update was unrooting and for that the only way i could do so, was restoring a backup from CWM, i couldnt falsha RUU or ZIP :/
would be great if some one help us to find out how to unroot (an easier way) or apply OTA even rooted (guess this is not possible :/)

As far as I know, OTA should work fine if you have ONLY rooted and NOT installed any custom recovery. So I believe restoring stock recovery could make your phone receive the OTA. I could be wrong too.

Hmmm then I'm a bit confused, I believe I have stock recovery installed, I haven't done anything other than backup and root. I just tried running the update from the prompt and it sends me to CWM. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what stock recovery is?

D'oh! My bad.
In attempt to get the stock recovery back I've tried the RUU that should be for the 64GB DE edition but it keeps throwing an error. Is Brightstar US WWE RUU 3.4.10 v4.1 1.29.1540.3 the wrong one?

First things first is your phone the developer edition? Sorry to ask a silly question just want to make sure you are not trying to flash the wrong firmware to your phone.
You can find the stock recovery under the development thread and you can flash this with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (in fastboot mode of course)

for a DE, you have to lock its bootloader and then using RUU to get it back to stock, or just fastboot flash the stock recoery image to override your custom recovery, both are working to update OTA according to my test.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

I posted this in another section a couple days ago on how I did the OTA with my DE.
Now you do have to push a stock recovery to get it working but then after you load the OTA you can go back and push TWRP or CWM. I then reflashed supersu but not sure if I needed to or not.
You don't need to lock the bootloader on the DE edition.

relocking bootloader is needed for the RUU way, for reflashing stock recovery way, it is not necessary.

I don't understand why you'd have to lock a bootloader for a device that came with it unlocked from the factory? Even the ruu from HTC for the DE requires you to lock the bootloader?

Actually I don't understand either, but it is true, I failed several times to use RUU gettting back stock before re-locking my DE, I guess HTC developer does not apply any special code for the DE RUU program, you can have a try if you have a chance to do so.

Dang I already relocated and RUU'd it... Oh well next time.
Thanks though!!

[Q] Can't Upgrade To 4.3. Goes To Booloader

So I had my HTC One rooted and flashed viper rom. I relocked the bootloader and flashed back to stock rom 1.31.651.2 and everything went smoothly. I went to system updates and it found the 4.3 update and downloaded it. When It gave me the option I clicked install now and the phone rebooted, but into the HTC screen with the development warning and then straight into bootloader and did nothing after that. I rebooted and tried install now again and the same thing happened. What am I doing wrong? Why wont the 4.3 install?

I would suggest getting S-OFF before taking the OTA.
BTW it's NEVER a good idea to take an OTA

I would assume there's already an odex and deodex version of stock 4.3 floating around somewhere. That's usually the first things devs release when it comes to OTAs.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

If you are taking an ota on a stock rooted Rom you need to.flash the stock recovery. It will not work if you still have custom recovery on your phone.

Sure it is, I took it knowing I had S-Off and that the OTA wouldnt reenable the security flag. That's all you need to do is be S-Off to ensure you can downgrade if need be.

If you are taking an ota on a stock rooted Rom you need to.flash the stock recovery. It will not work if you still have custom recovery on your phone.

Awesome. That worked. It wouldn't install the first 2 times, it pretty much just went to installer, did nothing, and then factory reset itself, but the third time was a charm and it installed fine. Thanks so much for your help!! Greatly appreciate it.
