Guys, is there anyone who has a rom.zip file of an official Honeycomb OTA update (e.g. RUU 3.55.405.1)?
I need to extract the hboot from it, and flash it over the current one (6.11.1111).
Reason why I need that is because I want to go competely stock and manually upgrade to official HC, but I can't get rid of S-OFF :/
None of the current guides can help me with that, so my only hope is to ask for help here.
Thanks in advance.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346200 <- how to gain S ON after S OFF.
Also u dont need to go S ON to load oficial HC rom. Just flash it and keep s off. U wont gain/loose performanc with it but will loose freedom u have with s off.
Umm, filefactory doesn't let download files with 500> MB size, unless I buy a premium account.
And those are EXE files, and I need .zip file

You need a patched ruu, unzip your upgrade.exe rename the original update utility, and use the one I attached here..
THIS RUU DOESN'T CHECK, SO MAKE SHURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT FIRMWARE!!

Make sure there is no IPL/SPL in the rom using this method. To be save.... remove it by cooking yourself.
thanks for the info everyone!
much appreciated.
just to be safe I shall cook the tmobile rom to make sure it doesnt mess with the IPL/SPL.
ps. will it work better if i add salt & vinegar?
so i have a rooted but not rom'd Flyer, I look to the threads on "ROM's" for the rom required to set to stock for the future honeycomb OTA update(my source says thursday afternoon), but the rom download site(filefactory) gets 96-98% complete and then gives me a interrupted error. i have tried my WIFI hotspot (VZW) my Thunderbolt and its Hotspot, my home WIFI, and My Work Wifi(T1) not to bash ya'll cuz ya'll have all the know how, but if your such a reputable site, when cant yall use a real fileserver vs a spam server? any legit file server out there for the BB HTC flyer running Gingerbread, but not the newest update?
And before some one jumps my case for not posting in developer thread, this is my FIRST post on here EVER! pull your ten post requirement or understand that some ppl. may do this kind of stuff for a living! and still may be a Noob to the site!
Are you asking someone to upload the RUU you need to a different server? I'm assuming you need the 1.36 brightstar RUU.
You are likely s off and should make sure you read thus otherwise your hboot will not change
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19339909
If you are interestedin honeycomb I would suggest using globatrons s off honeycomb method as you will maintain root and have the same version of honeycomb.
In regards to the ruu.exe dl failing, yes the file server it is linked to sucks but it is available for free and many of us are greatful for that. There may be some other links out there. I have the ruu downloaded as well as the Rom zip extracted. If you have no luck come tomorrow night I can probably upload to megaupload

I need the newest rom that came in the form of a OTA, I wanted to stick with the stock but want to keep up to date. I wont run a custom rom until HTC writes off the flyer(i really want ICS but dont see it happening in the form of a OTA). i am S-off (with Revolutionary) and rooted
As a best buy flyer there is no official Ota atm

If you don't root your device now and get full S-Off you may not be able to do it in the future, There are no guarantees that the latest HBOOT of official Honeycomb will ever be S-Off'd so at that point you may not be able to have the ability to install custom roms once HTC stops supporting the Flyer.
You can keep "stock" Rom using Globatron method which is exactly the same as the official release with only an S-Off'd HBOOT and Root added to the Rom. I highly recommend this and not installing any official HC RUU or OTA's
The ROM posted by globatron is the same as the official one being rolled out in Europe currently. I don't expect the Best Buy version to be any different. If you want HC, just do the globatron method.
If you install the HC OTA (if/when it rolls our) and want root, you will be required to accept your warranty is voided to get the unlocked bootloader from HTC.
Ok, I want to keep up to date, with a semi stock ROM, what do Ya'll suggest i do? I dont want a custom rom just yet.(not a whole lot to choose from for the flyer anyways) i want to update to honeycomb, and eventually ICS if a rom becomes available?
and MChord, i was following the guide in the thread that you quoted, but cant get the rom due to file factory's inept ability, every time i try to extract the Rom.zip, it gives me a invalid or damaged zip file error and im not sure which one is newer, Brightstar 1.36 or Brightstar 2.27
1.36 is the stock version that came with the device. 2.27 is the update to 2.3.4 that was rolled out. If you can not get the dl to work then yes you can not get the rom zip either. I can later tonight load the rom zip from the ruu to an alternative download site. Probably wont be till close to 8 pm eastern standard time.
In regards to a stock rom vs a custom rom. The rom in globatron's hc with s off is stock rooted with s off on honeycomb. At the moment that is the only stock honeycomb you can run as there is no ota. If you want to wait for the ota it is your choice.
not sure why i did this but here you go
follow directions on this thread if you are looking to revert stock s off from gingerbread. proceedure is different from honeycomb

I thought I would make a post , since I keep seeing people asking how to get back to stock after the OTA. We no longer have to mess with the Mainver error because of an old RUU. Football has posted the most recent RUU, on android develpement in the Vigor Rom collection sticky.
So before you get frustrated on how to get back to stock and unrooted to return phone , go download the newest RUU
Like I said Football gets all the credit, just making people aware because of the multiple inquiries of getting back to stock post OTA.
P.S. if someone can help me find a thread on how to link , I will learn how to post a proper link

I am not sure what link you want. Football's online locker for RUU's is
http://www.filefactory.com/f/c2e320ee1d5c7886/
sorry, noob question here; how do you install the RUU? do i just run the .exe with my phone connected?

Thank you ! So how do you post links ?
This is probably a dumb question but what is the point of this right now since there aren't many 2.01 roms out yet?
Is this just an easy way to get from 1.02 to 2.01? I'm on 1.02 still, using a GB rom. So If I used this RUU my phone would be unrooted and I'd be on the official OTA?
I'm guessing this RUU will be more useful once more 2.01 roms come out?

It's very useful to those that updated to the OTA.
If they have issues sometimes only the RUU can save you, and when they updated they had no RUU to use.
now they do.

All you have to do is highlight the url in your browser bar, copy (ctrl+c) and paste (ctrl+v) it!
It will show up as a clickable link because the forum software knows if it starts with http:// that it is a link (or something like that). Then if you go to edit your post I think you'll see and were added before and after it which makes it clickable.
Ha! See... it made my "and" above clickable because I put those brackets in my post that you can not see now due to forum coding. lol. If you go to quote this post you'll see them. It's these without the spaces [ u r l ] and [ / u r l ]
Here is where I am confused
I had my Flyer 3G 32GB . S-OFF'd by Revolutionary when I was on GB
Then I had installed LeeDroid's HC rom and I was on HC, everything is fine till now.
Recently I wanted to go back to GB but I could not ( I got some HTC screens so I gave up) then I flashed GLOBATRON'S methods and I am on S-OFF, Rooted HC 3.55.x.x stock Rom from his thread.
Currently there is a new OTA for my 3.55.x.x ROM and I have the RUU file for the OTA.
After running the OTA RUU , now my Flyer is on HC 3.62.x.x but I can not root it. CWM method is not working on the Revolutionary site as this rom is HC , I manually flashed the CWM img thru fastboot but no go.
My question is how to root my Flyer again after flashing the RUU file of the OTA 3.62.x.x from rooted 3.55.x.x
I know that if I flash a rom like Leedroid's it will work, but instead I want to flash the Original OTA RUU and the root it somehow. There is NO instructions on how to do it for Flyer.
My question is how to flash the CWM and SU onto my new HC 3.62.x.x Rom
Can I somehow remove the ROM and RADIO of the already rooted 3.55.x.x by Globatron and replace with ROM and RADIO of 3.62.x.x ? If yes how to do it ?
Or what to do ?
Pls Help somebody

I believe, since it is the ota, that you need to complete the steps of the tacoroot/ misc version method of downgrading from globatron and then flash the gb ruu for your device, I don't believe it matters which hboot you have for hc. Then use globatrons honeycomb s off ruu on top of that and bingo! Hope I helped

But why do you not want to use of the custom ~ROMs that are already on the market ?

I already used some of them but I wasnt happy with the battery drainage.
I was on Leedroid and battery drain was fast somehow, currently I am on the rooted stock 3.55 and my battery is 80% since I took it off the charge this morning at 8.00am
I used it full time for 1 hours when I was going to work in my car. Normally with Leedroid I could never get 80% at this time since I do regular things with my flyer every work day , such as check my e-mails, facebook, twitter when I am on the 1 hour way to work.

Here is the LINK of the RUU of the OTA
Now I am S-OFF by Revolutionary , and rooted by Globatron's HC 3.55.X.X from this link
This is the info about it :
Instructions Part 2
The large download is a stock HoneyComb 3.55.405.1 for 3G and 3.55.1114.31 for WIFI with the following changes:
Rooted
Busybox
Secure flag turned off on the boot image
Stock recovery replaced by CWM
My Android knowledge tells me , if I replace the ROM.ZIP and RADIO.ZIP of that rom with the pnes from the latest RUU , it can work.
But if it is something else, I wouldn't know it anyway
Quick Note
I have not had any reports of battery drainage on my ROM, its listed as Senseless 4.1.0 in the threads, maybe give that a go ?

Here is a link to a stock ROM which you can flash in recovery that has been pulled from the 3.62.468.1 RUU with root permissions added. Just make sure you take the usual precautions and nandroid backup your device first. If you are fully S-OFF this should work fine.

I don't know what the differences are between the ROM I'm using so far and this one, but I'll give it a spin (HTC won't release an update if it didn't fix/add something )

As far as I know , this rom has English and Turkish as the main languages.

Here's a link to the radio.img from the 3.62.468.1 RUU if you wanted it. You can flash it to your Flyer in fastboot using;
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
If for some reason something doesn't work have globatron's RUU ready at hand.

Don't unlock again! Also, you should be getting the ota soon. That will bring you up to date. As the other reply said, the RUU is available for you to flash instead of waiting. The thread below, in General, has a bunch of good stuff as well as links to files in post #3.

That link should tell you all you need to know. To answer your questions here though, you will have to be completely stock to get the ota.
If you run the ota RUU it will put all new ICS firmware (hboot, radios, stock rcovery) on your phone. You stay s-off, so from there you flash amonra again and then the rom of your choice. You won't be rooted until you flash a rooted rom...or you could flash the SuperSU zipfile in post#3 at that link...thanks to Ashton! You don't have to flash the JB hboot. The advantage of jb hboot is that it allows the use of fastboot commands to flash things like recovery.img. I kept the stock hboot. Everything I've needed i've been able to get in ph98img.zip files...(like amonra).
