help about revert to stock rom

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

[Q] Upgrade to OTA JellyBean from a custom ICS rom

Hi, I have noticed that HTC_044 is receiving OTA updates to jellybean now, my CID is 044, Hboot version 0.96 and currently running AHD 9.7 custom rom. So how can I upgrade my phone to jellybean?
I have searched through some threads but still confuse with feasibility and step by step guide. The question is can I flash the first original ROM nandroid backup and use the software update from setting? I have to relock the bootloader and reflash original recovery? How do I know which recovery to use as there is 1.26, 1.28, 1.29? Or can I just download the OTA zip and flash it directly on AHD 9.7 custom rom? Or should I just wait developer to upgrade their ROM compatibility?
Thanks in advance

Err... That's a lot of questions.
If you restore your backup and boot.img and flash the stock recovery (I'm not sure which one hboot 0.96 corresponds to, but after booting the ROM you'll know), you should be able to.apply several OTAs to get to JB.
I assume your backup is old, so you will want Titanium backup or something.
An alternative is to relock your bootloader
fastboot oem lock
download 2.17.707.x RUU from htcruu.com (ENDEAVORU) which will wipe your phone. Then apply one OTA and unlock or whatever you want.

Thanks a lot for your patience in answering my loads of questions! I guess flashing RUU is the way to go right?
Or alternatively can I just flash Maximus 8.5 by following the steps provided and use the firmware update as provided in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376?
BTW, will there be any difference if I use Maximus update instead of RUU, because I heard people are receiving battery update from OTA?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26967480

- fastboot original boot.img (from within that backup),
- fastboot stock recovery,
and it's currently updating via OTA.
Fingers crossed!

Bootloader unlocked HTC One X OTA JB update
I've just unlocked my HTC One X and installed 'mike1986' ICS custom ROM but before I did that I saved my carrier's (3UK) JB update to my laptop's C:drive. Would it be possible to flash the 3UK JB update now and if so will it contain 3UK's bloatware?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nope won't work. You need to go back to your original 3UK stock rom and the stock recovery to be able to update.

Hi DeboNZ are you able to get JB OTA? I had flash the recovery attached here but I still couldn't flash the OTA (OTA is already available), at recovery mode, it running for a while then at 10%+ it show an error image (phone with exclamation mark).
Do I miss something? I didn't relock it since
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670433
mention that we can do so without relock it.

You can update the phone with a unlocked bootloader, the rest has to be stock.
Stock rom
Stock kernel
Stock recovery
Did u remove some system apps or made changes to the system ?
That could also cause a problem !

I do delete some system apps come with One X Asia (like singtel app etc), but does that really stop the OTA from working??
Beside this I had downloaded
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.17.707.3_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed.exe
but this don't work for me too
my version-main: 2.17.707.3
Baseband: 2.1204.135.20
should exactly match

That could be the problem, and do you have a branded phone or not ? What CID do you have ? the versions match but is it the right one for your CID ?
The ruu did not work because
A : you have a branded phone and need a different ruu
B : you didn't RELOCK the bootloader before running the ruu

CID = HTC__044
and yes I didn't relock yet, perhaps I should try that? or any more alternative?
I only root it with SuperSU, so I assume i'm on
stock rom, basically I need to flash the stock kernel will do? (stock recovery done previously)

To run the RUU, you need only to relock the bootloader, put your device in fastboot mode and run the RUU. That's it, not necessary to flash back stock boot and recovery images.

I can RUU successfully, but now I couldn't get JB OTA, it keep saying Update is corrupted. Follow some recommended from other thread saying do a master reset but doesn't help. Anyone have better idea?

Going back to stock

Just a quick question that I'm sure I know the answer to but want to double check first.
I want to return to stock firmware for OTA updates but im on ARHD 5.0 (4.4.2).
ROM version 1.54.401.5
My hboot in bootloader says HBOOT-3.16.0.000 and Radio 1.15.2133156.UA13G.
I've seen 2 guides on here for returning to stock. Can i use wither of them or is one better than the other? I dont have any nandroid or recovery backups that I did myself.

What was your original software version? Doesn't help going on ARHD's ROM version if you previously ran a Rogers Canadian version for example.
What was your CID? Software version prior to custom ROM?
More details then we can provide better help as well.

The original version would have been 4.4.2 as i bought it in June and installed ARHD pretty much straight away.
The CID is HTC_001
I havent installed any new kernals either.

Ok when I said version I meant 1.54.xxx.x etc but it's fine, HTC__001 would make it 1.54.401.5/10.
So go to the Collection thread(you posted link yourself in OP) and download the backup for the HTC__001 1.54.401.10. Restore the backup, flash back stock recovery(also available on that thread) and you're good for OTA.
Flash back stock recovery -
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
But you can also get the details on how to flash and where to unpack the backup .zip file you'll download in the first 2 posts of the collection thread. :good:

Sorry yes i was originally on 1.54.401.5 but then did an OTA to 1.154.401.10 before installing ARHD. Can I just flash the nandroid for 1.154.401.10 then and it will work?
Will I still be rooted If i restore the nandroid and stock recovery or will that depend if the uploader rooted it first? as i want root and keep unlocked bootloader but want stock firmware with OTA updates.

In general the nandroid backups aren't rooted, as they try to recover the original stock ROM. Thus you will loose root be going back to stock. I would do the following:
restore nandroid 1.54.401.10
flash 1.54.401.10 stock recovery
perform ota to 2.22.401.5
flash custom recovery (e.g. TWRP)
flash SuperSu zip
Following that way, you'll get your M8 updated to latest stock ROM and regain root.

Did you try to perform the OTA before or after reflashing the custom recovery?

Nandroid Backup Needed

Hello guys,does anyone have a 3.29.166.9 twrp backup? Or a m8 with cid-vodap110 so he or she can make a fresh nandroid backup so i can go back to stock. I tried x.x.161.x backups but they don't work with cid-vodap110. Vodap110 is specific cid for Swisscom ch. Thanks in advance

No one has it?

Why don't you contact the other guy that already updated to 4.xx.166.x
Ask him for system part only. Then you can use it to update by flashing firmware first.
(I have the firmware but no backup)
Are you running a rooted/modified stock ROM now ? If yes, you can backup that and upload for me.. I will try to fix the error.
If you're running a custom ROM, you can flash the updated firmware and then install a lollipop custom ROM ... this can be done too.

I'm running a 4.16.401.10 stock firmware,and it works great even if it's not for my cid,but i would like to have official ota and for that i need stock firmware. I contacted many users with .166 firmwares but no one want's to make a backup :/

You don't run 4.16.401.10 stock firmware but you run a stock 4.16.410.10 ROM.
You can flash your stock firmware 4.19.166.2 then run 4.16.401.10 .. at least you can have a lollipop firmware running a lollipop software.

Need to totally factory start my HTC ONE M8
Hi guys, i really hope you can help me here.
I have a HTC ONE M8. It is a UK version on EE carrier. the CID is ORANG001. in fast boot it is blank next to OS- (don't know if tyhat matters at this point) I have S-Off through SUNSHINE. I have no oringinal back up. I have tried flashing the recovery found in my OTA updtate and several others that say they should work in various other threads, all through ADB Fastboot says it sends and writes ok but has no effect.
I have unrooted, factory booted, and am at the end of my tether. EE will not replace the handset if it is tampered and i really dont want to have to pay for a totally new one.
