OpenRUU for Linux (W/ OR W/O ROOT!)

[Guest 42turkeys]

OpenRUU - RUU Shell Script For Linux (Mac Coming Soon)

This is a shell script to flash an official RUU from HTC.

I tested this on my device and it ran fine, it uses exactly the same commands as the RUU app.

I will add this to www.roothtchero.co.uk shortly.

You do not need root.

The script will:

• Get your current ROM version
  
• Get Your Current HBOOT Version
  
• Get Your Battery %
  
• Reboot into RUU Mode
  
• Flash the ROM using fastboot
  
• Reboot your phone
  

Enjoy! ;)

2.73.405.5 Generic WWE (The one you need to root with FlashRec)

TO INSTALL:

GUI Method:

Extract the zip > right click on the script > properties > permissions tab > Select 'Enable execution as a program' > OK > Double Click > Run in terminal

Terminal method:

Extract the zip

cd /path/to/files

chmod 755 OpenRUU-Hero-WWE-2.73.405.5.sh

./OpenRUU-Hero-WWE-2.73.405.5.sh

If you want me to add a ROM then please PM me with the rom.zip, see here for how to extract a rom.zip from an RUU.

If you can, please donate so I can afford better hosting, I also have some cool features to implement when I get proper hosting too. (If you can host a rom.zip, please PM me.)

NICE. Haven't tested it yet but it looks cool. Finally I can flash from within my new Ubuntu installation ;)

would one still need a goldcard to downgrade a rom, or does this bypass the checks? i don't really see the point in this, unless it actually allows downgrading without a hassle... please enlighten me ;)

You still need a goldcard if the Rom is not for your cid, the point of this is that currently HTC's ruus are Windows only, so with this script it allows you to update in Linux or OS x.
