Hello guys
My device now has OTA 1.28 installed but my SD card is totally formatted and I have no Nandroid or No Rom as result.
The problem is that when I try to install RUU 1.26 on my locked device with the stock recovery I got error because I must roll back to OTA 1.26 to flash Ruu 1.26.
How can I roll back or install any Rom with no SD card access!!
I hope someone help.
You can't roll back without S-OFF so there's nothing you can do

Just make sure to flash stock recovery before you relock your bootloader, then lock it and use the RUU.
EDIT: just realized your on stock, perhabs just try install the RUU, not sure, sorry.
So I should wait for the new Stock 1.28 Rom.
Do you have any idea about the release date of this new Rom?

Hi guys. Could not find a straight up answer to my question due to the fact other people seem to do things different. Here is my question:
My phone came branded from Three UK. Firmware version was 1.26. Anyways i unlocked through HTCDev and flashed custom recovery. Anyways flashed ARHD latest version and that is based on 1.28 update.
Here is my main question.
Since i have done a backup of my stock rom on 1.26 can i just revert back to that and flash stock recovery and just update then OTA once an update is released? Or is there a different process to the whole thing? I know it is best not to flash a RUU since my phone is branded. But does the method i just suggested work? And can i still do it with unlock bootloader or does it need to be locked.
Any answers would be appreciated..Thanks
seriously no one knows the answer if i could restore my backup stock rom, flash stock recovery lock bootloader and then update OTA when my carrier releases it?
I did about the same thing yesterday but for different reasons. I wanted to make sure my radio and hboot were updated.
My process:
I reflashed the nandroid backup of my stock 1.26 rom first
flashed the stock kernel through fastboot
booted into the stock rom
downloaded the 1.28 OTA update and installed it
Reflashed the custom recovery
reflashed my custom rom
I hope it helps. So I didn't re-lock the bootloader first.

thanks mate...much appreciated..i kinda figured out that would be the way to do it just needed some confirmation from others that have done it that is all if that was the way..many thanks and much appreciated..will thank you tomorrow when i have more thanks
EDIT:at what step though did you relock the bootloader or you did not?
3rdeyer
did you have a branded, or unbranded handy?
Unbranded device, and I didn't relock the bootloader at all.
I have unlocked my OneX, root it using PaulBrien's method, and then stripped off all the sense stuff. I didn't install any custom rom all these while.
Then I decide to revert back to stock. I do the following
1. flash back stock recovery
2. lock back the one-x using fastboot oem lock
3. run the ruu executable.
It worked as I managed to complete the ruu flashing process, and proceed with the system upgrade OTA to 1.28
then, I had problem with the rooted 1.28 (again stock 1.28 rooted using Paul's version) so I did a CWM recovery back to my rooted 1.26 ROM.
Now, I decide to flash stock rom back to my OneX, I repeated the steps above, and instead I got this error from the RUU app.
Any reason what has happen? I even tried flash the 1.26 signed boot.img prior to step 3, but it still yield the same problem.
Thanks...
Since you updated to 1.28 you need the 1.28 RUU. When you updated it changed you hboot

I didn't know it change the hboot.
can I flash 1.26 hboot over?
strangely, I didn't have the problem the first time round, maybe something went wrong in between.

i dont think so until we get S-OFF
this problem happen for me
you are only download other ruu
only other ruu download and enjoy
You need the 1.28 RUU as you've done the OTA 1.28 update.
If your version is 1.28.707.10, here is the RUU : http://bit.ly/IjzQwM
Else, please let us know your software version no. and someone will point you to the right RUU.
hello i have htc one x with custom rom and custom recovery
hboot version -1.23
cid number : J_15
i want back to stock rom
how?
Restore your nandroid backup
Flash boot.img (from nandroid)
Flash stock recovery for 2.17 based roms (search @ xda)
You are back on stock.
On hboot 1.23 you can't revert to stock as there are no ruu's available to flash. The highest hboot that can still be flashed back to stock via ruu is 1.12. You will have to wait until an ruu is released with a higher hboot for your region. Once the official JB OTA is released for your cid, you can update the hboot to the latest version and then get some kind soul to upload a backup of their stock rom until the ruu's are released.

Well, you can flash a 2.17.401 backup (ROM, boot.img and recovery), and then relock. At that point, you have an entire software stack that is signed by HTC, so, close enough to stock. An RUU isn't some king of voodoo magic.

I'm aware of that mate and you're right, it's close enough, but then he did ask to go back to stock and not close to stock
Hi guys,
So here is the deal, i had my one x rooted but on stock Rom on 4.0.4 and once the OTA for 4.1.1 rolled out, first it gave me 1.6 mb file update which brought me to 3.14.707.24 but still on 4.0.4. so then i flashed the stock recovery, and ran the OTA to update, it just went to the recovery screen but after few seconds restarted the device and formatted everything including the SD card partition. so i came here and saw that i should flash a firmware.zip in RUU boot, which i did.(after relocking the bootloader) but now it is stuck on the HTC ONE logo and never boots.
I tried unlocking-relocking the bootloader, flash custom recovery, erased the cache etc etc. nothing works. and i have lost my nandroid backups bcoz of sd wipe...
now if anyone can tell me what to do it'd be great, or if you hav a nandroid backup of 3.14.707.24 just share it with me.
i'm desperate here :crying: please help
Try to RUU your phone to the version that it has before you flashed the OTA, make sure that its the correct region for your CID. But, I doubt that it will work as it will already be considered "downgrading" which you cannot do on S-ON HOX, as of now.
if you can still unlock the bootloader, there maybe is still a way. You will need to have someone with the same version with your phone after flashing the small OTA. Ask that person to do a system dump, and make it a flashable zip. Upload his/her boot.img and also maybe stock recovery. Flash it to yours.
Or why not try custom rom?
Hopefully that will help your phone get up again then OTA to JB.
Just thinking out loud and hopefully be able to help.

Firstly, did you try "fastboot erase cache"?
If so.....
"Fastboot getvar main-version" to see what version RUU you need.
If it's 2.17, just run the RUU.
If it's above 2.17, unlock your bootloader, flash the correct firmware zip for your phone, flash a custom recovery, mount USB and upload a JB rom. Install the ROM and then install the boot.img via fastboot and you should be good to go again.
The 044 RUU for 2.17 does not seem to work, so what I did was download a nandroid of stock 044 CID ROM, restore that, flash stock recovery and you'll get the update for JB. I'm on 044 too.

Hi,
First time user of an Android device. I have a branded Vodafone HTC One X that I unlocked and flashed Cyanogenmod 10 on. It works wonderful, runs really fast and is overall much better than Sense. Now that Cyanogenmod 10.1 has reached beta stage, I'm intending on trying out JB 4.2.1. In order to do that, I need to update my HBOOT past 1.28.
It is here that I am quite lost. I did a bit of reading around on xda and other forums to figure out the best method and got a lot of different and sometimes conflicting info. I think this FAQ is the most accurate to my situation although I am worried that it is out of date: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660807
If it helps, the current HBOOT version on my phone is 1.12 and the CID is VODAP021.
It seems the consensus is that I have to (from top to bottom order):
Revert back to stock Sense ROM
Revert back to stock recovery
Relock bootloader (Do I lose root when I do this?)
Run the correct RUU for my phone in order to update HBOOT
Re-unlock bootloader, re-root (if necessary), re-flash custom recovery and flash CM10.1
Are all the above steps correct?
I am aware that there is a collection of stock Nandroid backups somewhere on this forum, but for simplicity's sake can I just restore the Nandroid backup I made prior to flashing Cyanogenmod on my phone? Will restoring the backup also restore the boot.img file? Will the backup also revert my phone back to stock recovery?
Also, I looked on the RUU directory (http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Endeavor) and found two RUU's that match my phone's CID: 1.26.862.3 and 1.29.862.11. Which one is correct?
Sorry if I seem to be bombarding with questions. I think I get the gist of it, but I'm rather paranoid of screwing up so I just want to triple check my understanding before I do anything. If I am over-complicating things, please let me know.
Yes root is lost on lock ( only remporarily ). When you unlock with fastboot oem unlock_token.bin you get back root.
Has Vodafone released JB update for your phone? If yes , then you dont need RUU. After returning to complete stock ( even recovery ) you cant update with official OTA . This will update the hboot.
You only have to revert to full stock and stock recovery. The bootloader can stay unlocked ! :thumbup:
And yes the ota is out for him
The basic steps are :
Flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup
Full wipe in recovery (caches,data,system)
Restore the nandroid backup
Flash the stock recovery
According to your hboot 1.12 you are on 2.17 based android 4.0.4 software .....
This is your stock recovery

There was indeed an OTA for my phone which updated HBOOT to 1.36. Updated to CM10.1 with no dramas and was much simpler than I anticipated.
Thanks everyone for all the advice!
Nice ! Glad we could help !
CASE CLOSED !
How is CM10.1 working?

Im a noob, but I think you have to go back to the stock sense ROM and then gete the official update to Jelly Bean. After that you will have the 1.39 HBOOT and then you can install CM10.1
