How to Install the ROM Update
Understanding of the RUU installation process by Help Desk personnel is very important! If done
incorrectly, the update may render the device inoperable. HTC recommends hands-on practice with the
installation process for Help Desk personnel to better understand any installation problems users may
have.
Note: Before running the RUU, back up any personal data from the phone to the computer first using
ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center or the built in Sprite Backup utility!
Vista users ONLY:
1. Download the RUU file to your PC.
2. Use File Explorer to locate the file.

3. Once the file has been located, right-click the file and select "Run as Administrator" followed by
"Allow". Once that is complete, the below steps will walk you through the update.
Installation steps for Windows OS including XP
1. Download and save the RUU file to your desktop.
2. Locate the file on your PC, then open and run the Wizard.
3. On the Welcome Screen, click Next to begin the ROM update installation.
4. On the next screen read the advisory in the dialog box first. When you are done, click Next to
proceed.

5. Read and follow the listed instructions in the dialog box. When you are done, click Next to proceed.
6. A message will then be displayed indicating that the utility is verifying and acquiring information about
the device in preparation for the update process. Wait for this verification process to finish.
7. Current information about the device, such as the model ID, image version and language will then be
displayed. Click Update to proceed.

8. Below the device information, information about the new ROM update will then be displayed. If you
are certain that you want to install the phone with the new ROM update, click Next to proceed.
9. A confirmation message then appears and shows the length of time it will take to copy the necessary
files (including radio image) to the device. Click Next to begin the update.
10. A progress bar will run through the screen during the update process.
•Note: In the middle of the update process, the progress bar may stop running. This is
normal as the RUU is adjusting itself to complete the update process automatically.

11. When you see the screen below, it means update is complete. Click Finish to exit the utility. The
device will reboot itself, ask for you to complete the initial setup and then begin the automatic
Customization process.
•Note: In order for the device to function properly, the Customization process must be
allowed to complete!
