Hi,
Just followed bagocrap24's excellent step-by-step guide for unlocking the bootloader on the One X and am about to install Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 5.8.2.7.
I'm on branded T-Mobile ROM at the moment (v.1.26.110.5). I have downloaded this ROM posted by rogersnm here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25310993&postcount=518
Once I've got the CWM recovery installed, is it a simple case of installing the stock 1.28 ROM or have I missed something? There seems to be so much information spread across so many threads, I don't know what I need to know and what I don't, if that makes sense.
I really don't want to screw up my phone, and would just like to be running stock v1.28 ROM.
Thanks for your help folks.
Hello there,
I flashed the InsertCoin ROM, it works very well and stock 1.28 with tweak options up to your choice!
Download the Rom.zip, copy the boot.img from within the download and put it in the same folder where u have the fsstboit and cwm files according to the noon guide u just followed, copy the zip of the ROM to the root of your HOX storage...
Power down the HOX and boot into hboot, select fastboot, connect your HOX, open a cms window on your computer type in
cd c:\fastboot
then
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You can flash first the zip from within cwm and then the boot.img as you have only your (backed up in cwm) shipped Rom on it, right? Take good care of the backup....
So, put the zip on HOX, boot into cwm, choose zip, install zip follow on screen guide, boot into hboot, select fastboot, do the cmd as above, re-boot and you good to go!
Be aware to not let the battery drain as in OFF mode it won't charge for the time being...
Let me know how you got on...happy flashing

Thanks for your reply. I've updated to the latest CWM Recovery and am now just looking for a stock, unbranded HTC 1.28 ROM.
I'm weird in that I actually like 'Sense', I'd just like to be rid of the T-Mobile crap they shoe-horned in (for no apparent reason or benefit). Would be nice to be network-unlocked too.
Is there a stock HTC 1.28 RUU for download yet?
Edit:
Am I being dim? Further reading suggests I may need to be on stock recovery and locked bootloader to install RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.9_Radio_ 1.1204.103.14_release_256469_signed?
edited. CWM was updated. ;p
Updated again? I'm on 5.8.3.1 which seems to be the latest.
I'm still being dim. How do I remove the T-Mobile RUU (1.26.110.x) and flash 1.28.401.9 which I've downloaded?
Folks, I'm still a little confused as to what I need to do to get the unbranded ROM on my phone. Do I need to flash a stock recovery, re-lock the bootloader, wipe the phone and then install the unbranded ROM?
Many thanks, I just don't want to delete the ROM on my phone without knowing I've understood what I need to do next...
Edit: With stock recovery and relocked bootloader, attempting to enter recovery brings up the red triangle with the exclamation mark.
Anyone...? I was really hoping someone might be able to help me out.

Start by following the Everything HTC One X link in my signature and deciding what you want to do. Come back if you have further questions.
Thanks pdagenius, I've already read through that thread.
As I understand it, I have two options:
1) install a stock, unbranded HTC ROM. This requires a relocked bootloader and stock recovery. When I reset to stock recovery and relocked the bootloader, I couldn't get into the recovery to flash the unbranded ROM. I get the red triangle with the exclamation mark.
2) I can use a different ROM such as Android Revolution HD (which I like the look of as it looks stock). However, there seems to be conflicting information wrt to whether or not to flash new firmware (seems this isn't possible with S-ON?). Additionally, the boot.img link for download in the OP is broken.
As great a community as this is, I've found that often there is simply so much information out there that it's overwhelming, and difficult to find what I need to know and what I don't need to worry about. I think to think I have a little savvy about me but tbh it's a little bit 'information overload'.
With the phone being so new, I really can't afford to brick it....
OK, I've gone with ARHD now..
Thanks to those who offered advice, this thread can now be closed.
Hey, haven't come across a post like this, been searching and I don't seem to have found one, sorry If anyone.does.
Right, so I'm thinking of flashing a custom rom on my HTC one x, however I need some questions answering before I even go ahead and try it.
If I flash a custom Rom, is there any chance of getting my phone fully back to stock except the bootloader relocked message?
Should I worry about radio numbers? What do they mean? Do they matter if so how and why?
What do the boot.img and system.img do and why might I need to flash them via adb?
Firmware? What is firmware and why do I need to be specific about it?
What is the likelihood of me bricking my phone?
Do I need to stay on my cid? (X
X.xx.771.x) if.so why?
What happens/do I do if ot stays on Yeh HTC screen after flash?
Can the kernel be changed back to stock?
Is it true I can't flash through cwm if I want a kernel flashing?
Sorry for all the questions it's just I broke my HTC sensation xe with roms, and obviously don't want to do the same here!
Please someone answer.
Thanks a lot

yes there is, just find the correct matching ruu for your phone. the link to download should be one of the top ones in android development.
Should I worry about radio numbers? What do they mean? Do they matter if so how and why?
no you shouldnt. they just mean that it is an updated version of the radio. for me, the 1.29 radios work better than the leaked 2.05 radios. you can always test each one out to find the best for your phone.
What do the boot.img and system.img do and why might I need to flash them via adb?
because we dont have security-off yet, we cannot use cwm to flash the boot of the new roms directly, we have to use flash if through fastboot. imagine our phone as a car, and everytime u change the engine{ rom }, you need to give it a jump start.
Firmware? What is firmware and why do I need to be specific about it?
you dont need to be specific. if you are flashing, all roms would work for you, and there are two type, one based on the leak 2.0 build, and others using the 1.29 as their base
What is the likelihood of me bricking my phone?
if u follow instructions clearly, 0.
Do I need to stay on my cid? (X
X.xx.771.x) if.so why?
roming shouldnt change your cid. as a beginner..we shouldnt really even worry about that.
What happens/do I do if ot stays on Yeh HTC screen after flash?
if it stays there, it means you forgot to flash the boot.img, just go into fastboot, and flash the matching boot.img
Can the kernel be changed back to stock?
yes it can, just flash the stock kernel like u would any other kernel
Is it true I can't flash through cwm if I want a kernel flashing?
most custom kernels require modules, which is an add on package sort of. you first flash the boot of the kernel through fastboot, then boot into recovery and flash the modules. so u still need cwm.

Thank you, really grateful for your time in answering my questions, just wondering is everything I do to roms and kernels undoable? Just worrying that's all.
Can radios be downgraded easily?
Can software versions be downgraded easily? If I were to update to 1.29 (not released for me ota yet) is it possible to go back if ever I wanted? Sorry its just a lot to learn.
I'm very grateful.

if u mean stock phone ota to 1.29, no u would not be able to go back. at least not until we get soff
but if say u root ur phone on 1.28 and flash any 1.29 roms or 2.05 roms, u can always go back to stock 1.28 by flashing ruu.
IF WE GET SOFF, u can flash ANYTHING, downgrade ANYTHING. and we dont have to flash boot.img everytime
that is why everyone is waiting for soff

Thanks for the replies.
I have one more question which i think you may have answered but i just need to make it more obvious to what i mean.
I'm currently on 1.28.771.9, rooted etc...
If i were to update to a 1.29 rom, is there anyway to get back to my current rom i'm on now?
Would that call for a nandroid restore?
Or? And these ruu's everytime in the past, i've tried to flash 'downgrade' sort of thing, it's failed? i think?

NO, IF U OTA UPDATE, you will not be able to revert back.
right now, using ruus to downgrade is not possible, but if we get soff, then u will be able to downgrade to 1.28 by flashing that ruu

if you are going to flash custom roms the first and important thing to do is backup your stock rom..and always keep that..that way when you get an OTA update all you do is revert back to that stick a stock recovery and install the update..simple as that really.

Do nandroid back ups ALWAYS work? No matter what? No matter what rom i've came from, it will go back to EXACTLY how my phone was before i flashed a custom rom?
Also, i thought that you couldn't flash radios because you need s-off to do so?
Also, say i was to flash a custom rom... for example the newest miui one? (http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommana...ger.js&name=MIUI.us&deviceName=HTC One X (GSM))
What does this change? Obviously my rom, but would it change my software version (1.28?) and say i flashed the MIUI rom, and for whatever reason i wanted to go back to the official stock rom (1.28?)... is that possible? Nandroid restore? Or RUU?
Basically what i'm trying to understand is what i actually change when i flash a rom? And what can be successfully undone?
Really sorry, i'm a newbie and i sound thick but everyone starts somewhere right?
Do i need to boot into recovery via fastboot to successfully flash kernels to? (I read online...)
can kernels be undone and are they stored in boot.img
Thanks for you help guys, i'm REALLY, REALLY grateful.
Thanks again.
Please stay on topic guys. This isn't a flirt forum.
Keep that stuff private please

There is a thread in here (it's quite new) somewhere on backups for different versions, which you might be able to install.
There is another thread on using an older RUU, extracting the ROM and boot.img, and installing them (I think).
Ultimately you want to get to 2.17, 2.18 was unofficial, so I suspect the OTA will only apply to 2.17.
Edit: I might be making that up, maybe 2.18 was official.

I think The OTA is official, its from HTC and i downloaded to my phone ota. It was my phone that adviused me on the update The version is 3.18.751 on the update. Every time i try to load the update it goes to the fastboot screen and wont let me install the update.
2.18.751 is official, release not long after 2.17 OTA. It contained small fixes for taiwan chungwa's One X. If I am not wrong, it doesn't update hboot and recovery version, affecting ROM only.
For OP:-
Best options was using your nandroid backup.
OR
Grab the firmware.zip inside 3.14.751.20's OTA, then flash it like how they did to .401.
OR
There are a custom RUU that can help you convert your phone to taiwan unbranded CID (709) then receive 3.14.709.20 OTA. Your CID will change to HTC_621. You will need unlock bootloader for this method.

I flashed the recovery image off the OTA update. Im now in 3.14.751.20
I will say i made an error and luckily i didn't brick my phone.
Bacislly i followed the steps from the link above on the video placeing the the official images in the relevant folders instead of custom ones.
I didn't place the correct files on my SD so after doing perm root the phone was locked on a screen(never seen it before so dont know what to call it). Then i realised i hadn't put the files on sd luckily when i reset the phone it turned on and then i downloaded the update and it installed perefctly.
but the used the official recovery/ boot images etc.

Hey, I got the EXACTLY same problem as you do - although I'm not using a custom rom, just messed abit with mine too much (CWM + root, something messed up so I can't update even going back to stock recovery), so can you please explain step by step what I should do to get the JB update?
Thanks alot!

Ok do you have 2.18.751? If you have this version I can give you the update as I have it on pc. Its 3.14.751.20. I just have to work out how to upoad it to xda site.
I woulnt follow my steps exactly as I'm lucky I didn't damage my phone.
The up date has firmware.zip that contains boot.img, recovery.img etc. Follow the instructions Hansen toolkit video on the link. I flashed the HTC recovery and boot image. Then went to perm root my phone. It was on a screen I don't know what to call and was stuck there as I didn't flash other recoveries like cwm etc.. I then rebooted by power&vol and downoaded update again and it instaled. Note my phone automatically advised of the OTA if yours hasn't then there is something different.
I would highly recommend NOT to following my steps. Follow tookit video. That should get you there.
It is the official update from HTC so it should allow future updates.

Finally I went the other way... I was trying so hard to do this that soon I realized that I will be getting a custom ROM in a matter of time. But I usually use Stocks Modded ROMs so I did this.
Relocked the boot loader.
Flashed Firmware.zip from the OTA 3.14.751 from OTA.ZIP file. My word here is USE THE FIRMWARE FOR YOUR CID!!! ONLY THAT ONE
Flashed CWM 5.8.4.0 Recovery (i had an old one).
Downloaded Custom ROM (tried 2 in two days so far. same procedure, ARHD and InserCoin)
Flashed Boot.img from that custom ROM.
Went to Recovery, install ZIP from SDcard. and Flashed the custom ROM.
Preety Neat I must say.
Enjoying performance from JB... Photo CAM is insanely FAST
Thanks to Everyone. XDA Is a great place to find info but it could be messy some times.

Shelby5, Can you please send me the link to the video? and yes, that IS my version, and I've been notified of the update - but because of my modded rom couldn't install it.
JB requires a newer hboot, no? mine currently has 1.12, and I've understood that it requires 1.33, so does it cover that too?
Thanks!
about the ZIP file - is it the one that your device downloaded OTA to install? cause if so - I got that one. and if not - I'd appreciate if you can upload it even to dropbox or something for the day and tomorrow so I can download it
Noodlez I can do it for you later Today. Ill msg you later with details.

Hello all.
I need help on how to go about to restoring the stock rom of the HTC One X Tegra 3 (bought in Singapore). The problem is, I accidentally deleted the Nandroid backup of the original rom after installing "cm-10-20120919-NIGHTLY-endeavoru.zip". I'm planning to get the official JB update over OTA.
Did a fastboot getvar version-main and it showed the version-main as: 2.17.707.3, So, which "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_WWE" should I get?. And, since I'm using a Mac running Mountain Lion, how do I go about extracting the RUU as it's .exe?. If it's impossible to restore the stock rom using a Mac, then how do I go about restoring the stock rom with WinXP?.
Any other files that I need to download other than the RUU?.
Apologies if this question had been asked previously in the forum. But I just can't find any. And I'm still a noob about installing roms and thus that mistake of not doing the Nandroid backup. So, try not to ridicule me too much.
And thus, to cut it short, what's the step by step procedure to install the HOX Tegra 3 stock rom without the Nandroid backup on a Mac )preferably and if possible) or with WinXP. Thank you for the time to read and for any help rendered to this noob.
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.17.707.3_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_s.. this is your RUU. you can download it here. http://www.htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor. you do not extract the RUU. just run it after you relock your phone.

Thank you sir!.
Just 'gonna put this out here, for anyone else viewing this thread...
ALWAYS CREATE A NANDROID BACK UP! It saves a lot of stress, for you, and for people answering the same questions, over and over. When a tutorial suggests you do something - just go ahead and do it, it's worth it.
IF there is an RUU available for your handset a Nandroid is not required IMO - just my 2p...

Thank you for the comment. I couldn't agree more with you. And I do apologize for asking the very question of this post which I'm sure have been answered countless times previously. Just that I can't get the answer I was looking for or maybe I was quite confused with the treasure trove of information.
And let me reiterate to those who are planning to install a Custom ROM to their Android phones..., please, please, please do a Nandroid backup before flashing your phone to the Custom ROM of your choice. It WILL save you a lot of frustration. It was my mistake for deleting the Nandroid backup. A hard lesson learnt.

But having a Nandroid backup is much more better option to restore the Stock ROM. Well, that's what I think. I'm still a greenhorn about installing Custom ROM and such. And only having a Mac machine at home just makes it a bit more tricky. But that's just me the greenhorn. Anyway, thanks for commenting.

Hi hoping someone can help, I have been using Team Venom's ROM on my HTC One X but are trying to flash it back to original rom so I can upgrade to Jelly Bean, the version-mail that is currently running is 2.17.980.6 but can't seem to find that version of RUU and when I try to install RUU Endeavor Optus AU 1.29.980.11 I keep getting errors. My HTC is an Optus branded, it ran Team Venom's ICS rom great. Can anyone help. Thanks

flash the boot.img and do a full wipe in recovery, then restore the nandroid backup and flash back the stock recovery !
should be just fine

Thanks heaps for that, Just to verify the right procedure I flash the boot.img using fastboot, then put the nandroid backup file into the sdcard in clockworkmod/backup directory of the phone and run restore from recovery. is this the correct way if not can you please explain what to do as I am new to HTC mainly been using Samsung S3.

Yes that's correct ! Don't forget to do a full wipe in the recovery including the dalvik cache !!! :thumbup:
And this is the stock recovery you need to flash back at the end

CASE CLOSED !
Hi guys.
Hoping you can help me.
I rooted my DHD some time ago, with help from this forum, and was running the RCmix3D rom.
Well I have upgraded to an HTC One X, and a friend would like to buy my DHD, so. I thought I’d factory reset the phone.
Before I did that though I did a nandroid backup through CWM recovery.
After the nandroid backup, I rebooted into the ROM, factory reset the phone, however it then just booted through the White HTC screen into a black screen with the word ‘android’ in the middle.
Now, I didn’t panic, and I left the black screen for a while, but it didn’t change for ages.
So I pulled the battery, went back into CWM Recovery, and tried to restore, however, the restore didn’t take!
So I thought I’d just download another ROM, and flash that, but THAT hasn’t worked!!!
So I’m stuck without a backup and without a ROM,
I got the DHD on day of release so I guess it had Froyo on it!
Can I just download an RUU for this device and run that or are there additional steps that I would need to perform before that?
Thank you in advance.
Greg.

Greg, Factory reset only works when you are stock. As you were running a custom rom, you have just deleted the rom from your phone. You will need to flash a RUU to revert it to stock.
I don't actually know why you couldm´t flash a custom rom, but it should work as long as you are S-OFF.

Doh!
Cheers Brother.
The reason is that I'm not sure the new user would be ok with teh extra finctionality, and I'd worry they much it up (Much like I have done)
I still con't quite understand why it wouldnt flash a new ROM though
Ok.
When flashing an RUU, can I do that from the boot loader?
cheers for yor help.

Yes, you have two choices, or do it in the PD98IMG.zip way or flash it in fastboot. If you are S-OFF, you can flash any RUU, but I suggest and unbranded one. Don't flash a Froyo RUU or you will be in troubles.
On how to flash a RUU from fastboot, check the guide in my signature....:good:
Ok dude. I hear you.
Could you give a brief explanation on why the Froyo RUU would be bad?
Cheers brother.
Love your Avi.

If you are using a Gingerbread hboot and flash a froyo RUU then your hboot will work in super slow motion and might take half an hour to boot. And belive me fixing that is not easy nor fun...
Were you able to flash a ruu??
Hey dude.
Not tried yet, munching dinner and watching some Sons of Anarchy at the moment.
Will let you know ow how it goes though.

Just need to find the right RUU.

Hey dude.
Another few questions,
1) How do I know if I am using a GB hboot? Would a new hboot have been written when the GB OTA update came?
2) How can I tell whuch RUU is a GB RUU without the name being in the title of the RUU?
I.e. RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.zip
Thank you again.
Greg.
Oh, and I think I have found out why I can't flash a different ROM like ARHD, I'm using CWM recovery, the instructions for ARHD state that you are only to use EXT4 recovery.
Bum!

That shouldn't be the issue. Anyway, try flashing a Ruu And see what happens. I will find an unbranded one one that works for You. Try this one And report back.
http://https://www.dropbox.com/s/9xv5utzgvr4ov55/PD98IMG-GB2.zip
Cheers dude.
Just downloaded it.
Do I need to rename the file to just "PD98IMG.zip" and drop the "-GB2" ?
Cheers.
Greg.
Yep.
I needed to rename it.
Flashing it now.
Cheers.
Greg.
Dude.
Thank you for all your help.
It's all up and running Stock, just running the OTA update.
Thank you brother.

I really don't understand in all of that, but I just went through a very long process of rooting my phone etc.
and one of the million things I stumbled upon was this time I flashed a rom using CWM and the rom was corrupted..
I was thankful that CWM had the option to connect the phone via usb storage, [hard drive thing, so you could transfer files from comp to dhd]
So I just downloaded the rom again and placed it on the phone and flashed it using CWM.
I guess it might help you since you have CWM [and if you have CWM I guess you're rooted?] so you might try flashing a non-stock rom.
But I'm not deep into this stuff and don't really know, so you can try but I'm not sure it'll work.
