Stock system dumps (Android 4.3 with HTC Sense 5.5) for HTC One


Very important update is out since yesterday for HTC One user. Android Revolution HD 30.0 - the world first custom ROM based on Android 4.3 & HTC Sense 5.5 for HTC One is available for download on XDA-Developers thread. However, there is always one problem when it comes to HTC updates - no RUUs (ROM Update Utility) officially available for download for regular users (HTC One Developer Edition and Google Edition seems to be the only exceptions). Why RUU is that important to us? I already made a short explanation here, but let's remind that again.

RUU (.exe) files for MS Windows are installers of complete firmware, including for example system or data partitions. Not having latest RUU means:
  1. users using custom ROMs can't download latest OTA from HTC,
  2. developers have no system dumps they can work with.
Ad. 1) If you want to download and flash latest OTA, your device must have completely stock system partition and recovery. Every OTA update is checking MD5 of each file on system partition to ensure .apk patch can be applied. If even one of 1000 files won't match, OTA update installation will fail. In this case you need to flash the latest official update you can find (even one year old) and later download official OTA updates.

Ad. 2) There are few workarounds, however none of them is as good as having a RUU:
  • adb pull /system in custom recovery mode*
  • cp /system /data/media/dump in custom recovery mode*
  • nandroid backup
  • boot partition can be taken from inside firmware.zip inside OTA .zip package or it can be dumped using dd if=</path/to/boot/partition> of=/data/media/boot.img
* adb pull, cp or dd commands must be executed from custom recovery mode, otherwise system dump will be missing few important files or these files will have 0kb size. Also, keep in mind that adb features are heavily limited on stock un-rooted device. In case of dd command, root access (su) is needed to make such operation.

That's why I created my own stock system dumps (as a custom recovery .zip packages) for some HTC devices. I believe this can save a lot of time for many XDA users and developers.

    You don't need to root your device to install it. All you need is custom recovery.

      On sense 5 you could select different lockscreend, and you could even disable it. On 5.5 not anymore.

      System dump I posted is stock. If something is gone that means HTC decided to remove it.

      You HAVE to flash 30.0 with full wipe. Don't blame ROM if you don't follow simple instructions.

    Do I have to put the firmware you provided with this ROM (3.57.401.500)? If yes, do I first install the ROM then the firmware or the other way around?

    The faq here answers the questions (no you don't need the ROM, though its probably best (how 'best' i dunno)). The last question is also answered here in top FAQ: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823

    Mike, i want to backup OTA. Where to find it? I have downloaded OTA but didn't install, then i installed CWM but haven't rooted. I can't see the OTA. What is its filename? Is it zip format? Please do an article on that. I want to know if i need to be rooted as well. I'm using ES File Manager to find that OTA.

    I own HTC Butterfly and wanna update it to higher version than Jelly Bean 4.2.2 and HTC Blink. I become too much interested in Android Kitkat, the latest version released in this year. It comes with amazing features and is able to integrate with my own language. Could you instruct me what to do and where to start?

    Hi Mike. I own an htc one mini and want to unroot it on order to install the last official update (didn't know it won't be possible to do it without going back to stock). But regarding what you say, now I need to get the proper RUU, but I can't find any for the mini (M4) on the net, just nowhere...so sad. And if someone could help, which one would be for a european debranded phone (Switzerland actually) ? Thanks for your advice and all the best, Mathias.

    I aced my dream exam with Pass4sure Checkpoint pdf dumps without consulting from anywhere else. I simply downloaded Pass4sure Checkpoint dumps from Dumpspass4sure and studied with full focus. There was no need of information from other sources as everything had been encompassed in it.
