So I wanted to return to stock, but now all I have access to is fast boot, with no OS on my device and it's no rooted, unlocked or anything. What do I do!?
You will need to flash back to the factory Google Image through fastboot. Check out the unroot guide to get the image and how to flash.
Remember to root and flash CWM afterwards.
Edit: Guess you don't need root or CWM if you want stock.

I tried that, for some reason I can't get it to work. Maybe the instructions are not clear. I'd REALLY appreciate if you can clarify them for me!
Here's what you do.
1. Extract the Google images to your fastboot.exe directory. You should have:
- bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
- radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
- image-yakju-icl53f.zip
2. Boot into bootloader and THEN plug in your phone
3. Run "fastboot devices" to make sure fastboot reads the phone
4. Type the following commands to flash all 3 images. Be sure to check your phone and wait for each command to finish.
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip

Hey, i unlocked the bootloader, flashed a CWM (That does not allow me to mount my phone storage to the PC), tried to flash 2 .zips (the Remove menu thingy, and the SuperSU V.0.87) and when i tried to do that it went in a bootloop(or bootstuck? gets to the "HTC One X - Beats Audio screen, and never gets any further) WHAT DO I DO? Help me please!
Hi, i did exactly the same thing and...i got the same result ....Please, anyone knows how to solve it???????
I am guessing you didnt take a backup in CWM prior to flashing the mods? If not, unfortunately, your only solution would be to bring it back to complete stock and flash the RUU that originally came loaded on your phone.
1) Flash stock recovery:
Grab it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579797
Then Boot in bootloader >> Fastboot and issue the following command (assuming that the offical recovery is named recovery.img): fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
2) Relock Bootloader:
Boot in bootloader >> Fastboot and issue the following command: fastboot oem lock
3) Find and run/flash the RUU for your device, find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604
Thanks!!!!! thank to you I managed to unlock my mobile
Can't really tell you what worked, i flashed my RUU but it failed, i tried flashing stock and all that (which i put on there beforehand as CWM can't mount the drive), but in the end it was just persistence that got it, so just keep trying!

I think the Menu removal caused bootloop. I don't have my PC with me if someone can upload the stock Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk you could replace that to boot it back again. If nothing works then download one of the Custom ROM (ARHD or LeeDroid) then wipe everything and flash that it should work for you.
End to unlock again?

You should have received a code from HTC when you unlocked, check your email for it. Then you place it in file with fastboot on computer, open cmd prompt, type in fastboot oem unlock and it should unlock.

Guys, I was new at the rooting process. Flashed Jellybean on Successfully. Got a Nexus 7, wanted to do wifi tether, no apps work with jellybean yet so in short, I wanted to go back to stock 4.0.4 with my Verizon Nexus. locked and unrooted.
I went through the steps on the Wugs toolkit but I downloaded the Spring factory image by mistake, I was suppose to flash IMM76K. Now my phone is back and locked but NO SIGNAL. I guess the radios aren't right, naturally. i'm at a loss. I tried to download the IMM76K but it's one file in the zip compared to like 6 in the sprint one. I can't use my phone. Any detailed instructions would be so greatly appreciated
download sprint room. and download sprint radio. there should be a radio thread in sprint development, im sure
Try the GNex tool kit to unlock root install recovery.
If it doesn't work go through the steps in the tool kit to flash stock again and then unlock,root,recovery.
The 4.1 radio works better for me than any of the 4.0.4 radios.
Stop using tool kits.
Use the guide in my signature

The file you got for your verizon gnex is a zip you have to open to reveal all the other files.
once you unzip it put it in the same folder as your adb.exe
then use the following commands from command prompt
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-toro-primela03.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-toro-i515.fc05.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio-cdma radio-cdma-toro-i515.fa04.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-mysid-imm76k.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem lock
you may want to still do a factory reset/wipe from recovery after to make sure everything is lined up right.
So, here is my question:
If I want to upgrade my Hboot, I need to flash stock (ICS) RUU first and then flash new firmware. I did this when I upgraded to 1.23. But now when I need to upgrade to 1.28 It says "relocked" and below "security warning". Only thing that helped me before was flashing stock RUU (ICS). But now I can not flash ICS RUU. Is there anything I can do except waiting stock JB stock RUU? Like, will it help if I flash stock recovery? Will it remove "security warnig" and boot into costum ROM?
I don't know how clear I explained my problem but I hope you get it
Thanks in advance!
First lock your bootloader , then In fastboot type fastboot oem rebootRUU, that will put you in ruu mode. Then flash the new firmware. Then fastboot reboot-bootloader, then unlock your bootloader again

I have been searching all day but didn't find anything. I guess you didn't even read what I wrote. So please stop complaining, if there was somewhere the post that would help me, well, I couldn't find it. So get over it, that sometimes people post a new thread that has already been posted, this is a huge web site and sometimes it's not easy to find what exactly you need.
Thanks

thank you for your answer, and for not suing me for my post. I'll give it a try, I hope it will work
this is the guide man, it was in the first post.... you have to follow this guide to update your HBOOT, no need to flash a RUU....
this guide is taken from Shnizlon:
1. Download the ROM and place it on your virtual SD card.
2. Relock your bootloader via HTCDev.
3. Go into fastboot mode and type 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'.
4. Flash new firmware using this commend: 'fastboot flash zip PJ46IMG.zip' or using Y cable.
4a.On first time running the commend you will see FAILED, don't panic and just run the commend again.
5. Reunlock your bootloader via HTCDev.
6. Flash custom recovery using this commend: 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.
7. Download boot.img and flash it using this commend: ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’.
8. Use 'fastboot erase cache' to avoid boot issues.
9. Go into recovery and install the ROM.
10. Reboot your device and enjoy from JB!

how can i lock bootloader on sony tipo dual? any idea?
It's "fastboot oem lock" for all android devices, but this forum is seriously not for and sony phone, it's for HTC One X.
Sent from my IceCold One X
hello,
I seem to mess up all the guides of flashing JB.
My HOX has cid HTC_044 , HBOOT 0.43, currently running Revolution 9.7.2, recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0 recovery.
is there an easy/direct way to upgrade the HBOOT and the Rom to Revolution v18 ?
Also I tried that video tutorial but I got lost with all the Unlocking and Relocking.
I have a disability and pressing multiple buttons not easy for me so I'll really appreciate a step by step explanation.
Thank You.
Do you know fastboot commands to interact with the pc to the hox ?
If yes you can put the phone in fastboot usb mode with the fastboot command from pc
Fastboot reboot bootloader
or
Adb reboot bootloader
The phone should restart to the bootloader, then you can type the commands
Fastboot getvar version-main
And
Fastboot oem readcid
Post the results here please....

Oke download this RUU

put the phone in fastboot usb mode again and do this command
Fastboot oem lock
This will relock the bootloader and give a warning sign, that's normal,keep the phone in fastboot usb mode and execute the RUU from the pc WITH admin rights !
This will bring the phone back to stock ICS android 4.0.4 from there you can upgrade officially to JB !
Note : this will wipe the entire phone including sdcard !!!

That's correct but i wanted to let him update official because when he updated to JB he can make a clean nandroid backup of his JB stock rom, this way its easier to go back to stock when he wants that, or when he has to update again

No, it didn't work!
That tool sent me to a link to download RUU but I don't know which one...
I tried RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.17.707.3_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed but it failed, my phone didn't even reboot.
As far as I know you need to reflash the stock recovery.img and boot.img provided in the rom.zip before the RUU will work.
I don't know if this is the same scenario, so I'm just throwing in a suggestion.

RUU will automatically flash all of those. All you need to have is locked bootloader.
Are you sure?
First I tried it normally with relocked bootloader, and it didn't work.
Second time I read somewhere about flashing recovery.img and boot.img from the rom.zip that appears somewhere in AppData when you start the RUU. relocked bootloader again afterwards.
Suddenly the RUU worked, so... I could have done something that I didn't know of that I was doing it, or it was simply because of the recovery.img and boot.img.
I got my HTC One X for about 3 weeks now, so I'm not really experienced or whatever. Just really curious about how Android devices work, since I'm also a 'barely-passed-noob-phase developer'.
so, how do I re-lock it?
and what is the right RUU for me?
The RUU Mr Hofs provided is the right one.
He also told that 'fastboot oem lock' is the command to get the bootloader relocked again.
What I did was:
(Starting off with an unlocked bootloader via htcdev)
Go into fastboot mode (which is done by holding volume-down and pressing power button, or running the adb command 'adb reboot bootloader') and run the following 5 commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
Run the RUU.
The boot.img and recovery.img for the RUU that Mr Hofs specified are in here: http://db.tt/lpQ8d3Vw
Yet I still don't know if this is the correct procedure for it to make the RUU run normally, but this is all I did to get mine working.
Good luck .
All info is correct !!! The ruu is correct and you ONLY need to RELOCK the bootloader ! The fastboot command is mentioned numerous times now
And please right click the ruu to select,
RUN WITH ADMINISTRATOR RIGHTS !
and please put the phone in FASTBOOT USB before running the ruu !
will try it.
Thanks!
but how do I root it again after?
is there a rooting guide for HOX JB ?
sorry for the stupid question..
Fellow Noob here. Please bare with me.
Purchase a used HTC one. Previous owner has S Off and Custom Recovery (Team Recovery).
The OTA comes over on my phone but when I try to install I am taken to the Team Recovery prompt at start up.
How do I get my phone to a state to take OTA updates like 4.4.2 (Verizon)?
Help is much appreciated.

You'll have to go back to stock rom and stock recovery. There should be a thread out there to tell you how if you don't already know. Search this forum for "return to Stock recovery" and I'm sure you'll find it.
Does this video an accurate description of what I need to do?
Youtube: How to Unroot HTC ONE and Relock Bootloader or back to STOCK (All Versions)
Sorry can't post links yet.
The exception being - using the correct RUU for verizon?
Ruu back to 2.10.605.1 - can be found in santods rom/radio/kernel thread at the bottom of the second post.
Take the ota
Fastboot flash recovery
Flash Superuser thru recovery.
No need to relock your bootloader to do an ruu, it is a myth.

Thank you cmlusco. Very greatful.
So 1) Download Ru 2.10.605.1
2) Go through the prompts
3) take OTA 4.4.2 (KitKat)
At this point, what does the Fastboot Flash Recovery, and Flash Superused thru recovery do?
Thank you very much!
Yes, and those roots the phone again. It flashes a custom recovery like twrp, so that u can flash superuser, roms, mods, and do backups. And the second flashes superuser, which well gives you superuser rights to modify files on the phone, use root apps, etc..

Gotcha. I could just leave it after the OTA 4.2.2. - leaving the device unrooted (but with a unlocked bootloader & S off)?
my main objective is to really just go back to stock but still get OTA updates. i purchased this phone with the intention of just running stock features etc.
Yeah just do the ruu and you will be stock unlocked s-off JB. Then you can take the KK ota and all future ota's.

After downloading 2 different RUU's I can't find any Exe Executable files after unzipping.. What am I doing wrong?
You dont unzip them and there is no exe. You flash the zip as it is using fastboot. You need adb and fastboot + drivers installed on your pc. Place the zip in the same folder as adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Then open a cmd prompt on your pc so that the path is the same as where the files are. Then reboot the phone to the bootloader. In the cmd prompt type
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
The phone will go to a black screen, then type
Code:
fastboot flash zip name_of_file.zip
It may fail the first time with a message about flushing, this is normal. Just run the second cmd again
Code:
fastboot flash zip name_of_file.zip
