error: cannot load RUU.ZIP

Hello if anyone can help- I relocked my phone, put back the stock recovery and downloaded the RUU zip for ICS from unlimited.io for the 2.13 bla bla bla and my hboot is 1.19 but after several attempts at flashing from the command prompt- error cannot load RUU.zip. y goal is to get completely stock again get the damn jb update then get the new viper 4g rom 3.0.1. can anyone tell me why I cannot flsh the RUU and what I can do to get it installed on the phone?

Thanks,

TJ
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Are you s-off or s-on? If you were at unlimited.io that suggests S-off. But if S-off why ruu back to stock? Just flash the viper JB ROM and get the new firmware from captain if you wanna update that, too. But if updating firmware, read the last 15 pages or so of his thread, over, very carefully. Firmwares must be updated fully and sequentially, cannot skip versions or will brick.

From my Evo LTE, yup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Fuses:
It means that when you flash 3.15.651.16 RUU (HBOOT 2.09) in your device, device does hboot pre-update before main-flash. When hboot pre-update is finished device reboots back to RUU mode. Semi-brick happens when you try to push RUU again to make main-flash AND for some reason, device won't take that RUU again and shows that error message.

If you have 2.09.4444 hboot, you are safe. You can flash decrypted RUU (because device must be S-OFF if you have that hboot) if you get stuck.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 11secEVO:
Okay I need some help please.

I am on HBOOT 2.09 with S-ON, this is what I did so far.

Downloaded - RUU 3.15.651.16 - HBOOT 2.09 and JB OTA firmware

I put those two files in the folder that I used to root the phone since it has fastboot commands.

I then fastboot oem rebootRUU and this is what happens next.

The phone is stuck on HTC and it will not do anything.

Can someone please help me get this phone back to complete stock gain.

Thanks,

I'm confused

I got my EVO when it first came out, unlocked then rooted it, ever since I have been flashing anything I desire with zero issues. I have always heard that we should NEVER EVER under any circumstances take an OTA.

Should I be taking OTA's? It sounds to me after reading all these posts that people kind of invited issues by taking OTA's.

As far as taking it back to stock...whenever I have traded in a phone at a Sprint store, they could care less that it's rooted, I even told them it was rooted.

Is there something I'm missing here? Please someone in the know tell me why I should take OTA's.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Never take an ota just go S-OFF and you can update everything manually :D

Hi,

I'm stuck BD. My phone works S-ON.

I tried to DR-OFF, but failed after many attempts and with help. Also I discovered my phone may have a radio/nvram issue.

Now I want to either return the phone to bootloader stock "Locked" for a replacement due to other issues or get true S-OFF to see if I can fix.

Thanks!

I found this thread while trying to solve my own issue on a different device. You can read that thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2450305

The problem described in this thread was very similar to mine, however on a HTC One X (AT&T) instead of a EVO 4G. I decided to give it a shot but change some obvious things like the OTA version and RUU I was trying to get to. Ultimately, it worked.

I would like to report success!

1. HBoot: 2.14.0000

2. No

3. No

4. CWS__001

Thank you.

Good morning from Germany!

I would like to recompile my kernel on the gt-s 5300 device, so that i could install / setup some application and modules.

Basically i would like to enable the usb gadget on this android device, as far as i am informed, a kernel recompile is needed.

i have done a few kernel recompiles for linux systems, but never for a android smartphone.

maybe someone could point me to the right path ?

thanks all for your help! :)

Hello,

Stock GT-5300 kernel built, but won't boot

I've been able to create a zImage from the GT-S5300 open source kernel code, using the bcm21553_cori_04_defconfig as indicated by the accompanying readme file.

However, when I use this kernel to create a boot.img and download using Odin, I get a quick S5300 startup screen, then nothing.

At this point, I'm just trying to build a stock kernel, no modifications. I'm looking for helpful hints on where to find any debug or error messages that will help indicate what is going wrong. I can use Odin to put the prebuilt stock kernel back, and it boots ok once again.

I've compared my boot.img with a stock boot.img (samfirmware sourced), and they are similar in terms of addresses and pagesizes. The ramfs file is also stock, taken from that same stock boot.img. The built kernel is a bit larger than the stock and I'm not sure if I should expect my built kernel to be exactly the same size, or if it's ok for it to be a few KBs different.

Any other parameters or configurations that I might be missing or should check? (And to samsungkid, were there any special steps that you took?)

Thank You!

Resolved by switching toolchains. OP query remains...

No errors reported anywhere that I could find, but thanks for the response.

UPDATE: I resolved my original issue: toolchain was wrong. The readme from samsung tried to tell me, but I refused to listen... Once I changed to the Code Sourcery toolchain, the zImage loaded fine.

But back to samsungkid's issue....

I believe he is still trying to get his own custom module compiled into the kernel. I know that building a module separately as an LKM would work technically, but I don't know if that makes sense for the use case.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsungkid:
Maybe I need to give you more details, so:

I downloaded the corresponding kernel for my samsung device.

Then I unpacked the file and opened the readme file, which states:

So I downloaded the appropriate toolchain and created my directories under /root/projects/android

In the directory infofiles are only the readme files from Samsung.

Kernel contains the extracted files from the archives, downloaded from Samsung.

tarballs contain all the tarballs meaning the kernel.tar.gz and the toolchain.tar.gz

toolchain contains the extracted files from toolchain

I then do all the thinks written in the readme file:

and then I run into an error:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ric105:
Have you EXPORTed variables to point to the compiler directory?

A guess, but is the error message saying it cannot find the cross compile toolchain? Generally, you need to either export a couple of variables, or add them to the make command line. Something like:

ARCH=arm SUBARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE= /home/yourhome/toolchains/.../arm-none-eabi- make

Hope it helps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsungkid:
Thanks.

I added the path to the toolchain directly into the $PATH variable...

Even tried your above statement - the same error again :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tokomotxo:
Maybe need this...

You may need to edit the Makefile:

export KBUILD_BUILDHOST := $(SUBARCH)

ARCH	?=arm

#this is original ---> CROSS_COMPILE	?=/home/aniruddh/sgy/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-

CROSS_COMPILE	?=/home/your_user_name_here/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-eabi-

CROSS_COMPILE	?= $(CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE:"%"=%)

Then you will run 'make' without export any variables.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rphlfjrd:
Hello guys,

I'm new here at the HP Touchpad Section and XDA-Dev Forums.

I am running CM7 on our HP Touchpad and my little brother has been fiddling with it(downloading many apps from the playstore using my personal account, thus forcing me to create a new google account/other shiz).

Then one time, the screen kept turning on and off without us even touching it. Our guess was it was dust on the screen which is being register as touch.

After a week or so that that was happening, the touchpad ran out of battery and was not charged right away.

The result, it won't charge anymore.

Is there anyway to open the device and shock the battery? It may be a dead battery just like what happened to my sister's iPhone.

I've also been reading some charging issues with CM7 and CM9 and tried some of their troubleshooting methods but non worked.

If I just get a little juice to boot it, I would reboot back to webOS as fast as I can and uninstall CM7.

Thanks in advance,

Raphael
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicle_11:
Try leaving it on the stock charger for several hours, maybe days. If you have a touchstone, try that.

If you get it to charge (make sure it's fully charged), uninstall CM7 using acmeuninstaller, then boot into webos. If you have preware installed fine, if not install it and download 'remove android' (or something like that). Run it, then install either CM9 or cm10, using acmeinstaller3. There are several good how-to's which you can search for here or at webos nation forum.

When you have it installed, go to settings > storage and click on the 3 little squares on the upper right hand side, and click on usb computer connection. Then make sure the MTP box is checked.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rphlfjrd:
Thans for the reply chicle_11! Will try that on the weekends since I am very busy with school works. And thanks for the suggestion of installing CM9/CM10 but I will just stick to webOS and get an authentic Android Tablet(I'm choosing between Google Nexus 10 or Samsung Note 10.1).
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicle_11:
I use webos at least 50% of the time. It's a shame that there aren't more apps compared to android. You don't have anything to lose by installing android. You'll have an excellent and unique dual boot tablet. CM10 is very stable now, I use it as my daily driver, I highly recommend it.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rphlfjrd:
I still might reconsider flashing CM9/CM10 when I sort out the charging problems since I am just starting to save money for the Note 10.1/Nexus10.

Can you recommend a good CM10-based ROM for the HPTP or just the stock CM10 Jcsullins?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicle_11:
I use/recommend jcsullins' cm10.

Make sure MTP is checked (follow my first post) and that should take care of the charging problems.

Also, try to not let the battery run out of power. It could possibly brick the tablet.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rphlfjrd:
It seems that I have somewhat sorted out the charging problems. I read an article last night that Samsung Chargers also work for the HPTP.

The process is fairly simple. Use the Samsung Charger first to charge a phone. After 2 hours or so, use that charger for the HPTP to charge the touchpad from a used/electrified wire. During the other process, use the HPTP Charger for the phone to power the cord up. After 10mins or so, switch both chargers. So the HPTP should be using the one that came with it by this time.

It worked for a while then the "Please use the charging cable that came blah blah blah to fully charge..." message came. I've read another article that the touchpad should be a little elevated or at least level with the cord so the cord will not fall down that is causing the message to pop up.

I've used both methods and the 2nd method is working like a charm. It shows a battery sign with a lightning bolt and the charging warning/message does not pop up. Will leave it overnight to see if it charges.

Then after, I might reinstall CM9(I've been from CM9 but downgraded to CM7 because of camera issues w/c my lil bro does not like).

Also have dead touchpad

I haven't been able to see any life from my touchpad after the battery completely drained. Its been 2 days since I haven't been able to use it.

I've tried charging it via the cable and adapter that came with it for a couple of hours, left my TP on the touchstone all afternoon to morning and no life either, the touchpad however is a bit warm at the back. Does that indicate its charging?

my TP is sitting on the touchstone now but I've replaced the AC adapter and currently using my HTC Sensation plug, I am running out of ideas and I'm going to presume its completely dead.........

I've tried connecting it to the pc but nothing happens, Can someone help me out, I've also tried the button combinations "Home, Home+Power and Home+Power+VolumeUp"
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abomb78:
I tried both of the methods mentioned a couple of posts ago with no success.

I have also left it on the regular AC charger for 48+ hours and a Samsung cell phone charger for another 48+ hours and nothing.

It is sitting on the Touchstone now for 36+ hours and nothing yet.

I sent HP an email and here is what they said to try:

"We gather from your mail that your Touchpad is unresponsive and will not turn on. To be able to help you with this issue please take note of the following troubleshooting steps:

First of all leave the device on charge with charger for 48 hours after do the following:

Press and hold the power button + Center for 15 seconds. The device may take a few minutes to restart.

Please do the above with the device connected to the charger. (not charging dock nor PC).

Press and hold the power button + volume Up + Center and continue holding for 5 seconds after the Full Erase screen appears.

Also please try the above steps with another USB cable, also please try to connect the USB to the computer with the touchpad, if the computer doesn't recognize the device, the USB cable is faulty.

Please try your charger on another device to see if this charges the device. As the issue could be that the AC adaptor that is not working.

Have you tried another charger with the Touchpad? In order to verify where is the problem. Regarding to your problem ,do you know if the problem is with the charger itself or with the USB cable? Have you tried the complete charger with another Device, phone?

If the steps given do not help you with this issue, please send us a Proof of Purchase (scan of store`s receipt attached to your response) to validate your warranty or the order creation date of your device and your address.

If you need further assistance, please reply to this message and we will be happy to assist you further.

None of that worked either. I just get the "Palm device" balloon on Windows XP when I hold the Power+Volume Up + Center button. It looks for drivers but never finds them.

Also try holding Home + Power button for 30 seconds instead of 15...This has been known to force some life back for some
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abomb78:
Nothing after trying that and leaving it on the Touchstone for 48+ hours. Time to leave it plugged up to the computer for 48+ hours and see what happens.

First my observations on three 32 GB TP's:

My discharge rate on WebOS in Airplane mode was arround -613 to -850mA. Screen on, (brightness affects this).

3. My discharge rate on CM10 in Airplane mode is about -520mA!!

4. A PC's USB port puts out 500mA's!!!

5. On the touchstone, (doesn't seem to matter if WiFi is on or off), with screen on 1/3 brightness + Battery Monito Widget = +853 to 945mA

6. On HP charger & cable, same as above = +1,377mA

What suprised me was the greater drain in WebOS.

You PC's USB port may be causing further discharge to the 2% TP's auto shut-off!

If you lock the bootloader and re unlock it you are being put to factory state which will wipe the custom rom.

My advice is to enter the bootloader and unlock the bootloader (if it is still locked) reflash the custom recovery and

1 : flash the rom all over with its boot.img

2 : restore the nandroid with its boot.img

My bootloader is already redéverrouillé I install custom recovery Sev and the stock but I'm on the recovery for 1/4 second and restarts regardless of the recovery I can not reinstall the rom and I flashed the boot. img no change (by the way I work on ubuntu)

Thank you again for allowing me to spend a bit of your time

I only know how it works on a windows pc !

But flashing a boot.img is done with fastboot commands and with the phone in fastboot usb mode

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Is the command......and if you flash the latest CWM recovery you can mount the sdcard as a usb drive and copy the boot.img from the nandroid backup folder
