Hi all.
I have just received my HTC ONE X on ORANGE UK. I had it unlocked and works well with other networks.
Problem I have is:
1. How can I get rid of the ORANGE UK branding?
2. Revert the software to the ORIGINAL HTC ONE X Software?
I looked thru the Q&A and didn't really find the answer i was looking for. I am a newbie as i have always had the iPhone 4S.
I presume this involves changing the ROM? How?
A Step by step guide would be brilliant.
Thanks Kindly
I believe that you will need to unlock your Bootloader at HTCDev (which will void all warranty) and follow this thread. This will allow you to install any One X ROM you want.

The latest stock HTC software is 1.28.401.9

Unlocking the bootloader, rooting, installing a custom recovery and flashing a custom (or official unbranded) ROM will get you where you need to be...
However, if you have never rooted a phone before this one isn't the best to start on. I would recommend waiting until some of the bugs have been ironed out, like charging in fastboot, the posibility of a one click root, or a fully s-offed process.
If you can be patient, (and the bloat isn't too bad - for Orange anyway) I would recommend waiting.
I had a rooted, s-off desire on Orange, have unlocked and s-offed a bunch of various HTC phones belonging to friends, but even I'm delaying for a while to see how development pans out.
I hate sense too.

Hi thanks. Well I got thru the Bootloader ok. Now I am on step 9 of the recovery. I am not sure which ROM to select in step 4?
UPDATED 13/4 Official Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 5.8.2.7
Can you help please?
I don't know which one to select as there is this one from http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
HTC One X (GSM) Download Recovery & Touch Recovery
I would recommend Android Revolution HD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
Version 3.1 is the latest build with sense. I ran ARHD on my Sensation and its very stable. I'll be running it once I'm sure my device is fault free.

Hi i have downloaded Android Revolution HD What's next as I am lost now
Thanks
have you installed a custom recovery? if so move the downloaded ROM onto you one x, reboot into recovery, choose "install zip from sdcard". Then "choose zip" and point it at the zip of the rom you downloaded.
@f4flake.
All I have done so far is the unlocked the Bootloader.
Thanks
go to this thread

your next step is to flash custom recovery mate...once you flashed custom recovery go ahead and flash the rom of your choice. make sure you read the instructions on how to flash the rom and follow the guide carefully. let me know how you get on...

If you follow the link I posted in the 2nd post that will give you all the steps you need to prepare to flash a custom ROM, including the custom recovery image.
After that pick a ROM, I recommend ARHD, then follow the instructions in the ROM thread to flash the ROM.

I thought if you unlocked your bootloader your CID was set to "none"?

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
Hi all. Well this morning i managed to flash the recovery file. Now stuck on final part of installation Need a factory HTC file i guess? and instructions to flash it. Appologies for the dumbness here, I am just recovering from a stroke so everything is hard work as it is difficult for me to understand. Thanks for your patience.
Any ideas please?

Hi
Have you saved the recovery image in the fastboot folder on your computer with your fastboot files?
Try
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img
Looks like you missed the word recovery from your command and omitted the file extension.

just to add to that make sure it is on your C drive which is easier and make a fastboot folder with all the contents of it mate..then just follow the guide i PM'd you with
Hi,
My One X is rooted, and installed a custom ROM.

Any advice?
Thanks.

Yes. It's the same advice that is given daily to everybody else that wants to return to stock.
Find the correct RUU from the shipped ROM sticky thread in the dev section, put the phone in fastboot.mode and run the RUU.
If you can't find the right RUU, search the same thread, I can assure you, you won't be the first person to want to do this.
I want to revert my rooted htc one x to its original condition. i want to re-lock the boot loader and install original updated software provided by HTC.
and after that i am able to get update via FOTA system.
Thank you..

NO RUU only nandroid backup on your main version
And post in the Q&A. This is the general section !
I just don't understand why people don't make nandroid backups. I would never even think about flasing a custom rom unless I have way back.
I have a warranty issue. I need to unroot to send back in. The phone is s-off. Can anyone give me a link to "how to?"
Thanks!
Go into SuperSU->settings->full unroot

Or check my signature for the stock backup thread, there is a zip file in the second post you can flash in the recovery to unroot.
Hi
My situation is I have a shiny new HTC One m8 from EE and decided straight away to root the phone and flash a rom. Like an idiot I did this without doing any research or any sort of backup . I've always had iPhone and after jail breaking you could return the phone to stock very easily.
I now want to have the option to return the phone (M8) to stock in case I want to sell it in the future.
I have been going round in circles trying to sort this out and getting nowhere. I have managed to find reference to Nandroid Backup, RUU, Radio.
I am not sure if it is relevant but I have attached a picture showing a screen shot showing the CID and MID numbers. I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction with this.
CID ORANG001
MID 0P6B10000
Thanks
Restore the nandroid you found for orang001 1.54. Works fine
Am having trouble restoring stock recovery tho on orang001

Hi and thanks again for your help.
It seems like I am getting closer to sorting this out. I have seen this page before but was not sure which I should use, Stock Nandroid Backup or Stock Recovery. Also which of the Stock Nandroid backups should I use:
CID ORANG001
1.54.61.5 - CWM Philz touch Thanks to Stuart0001
1.54.61.5 - CWM Philz touch Thanks to Brds7t7
1.54.61.5 - TWRP Thanks to Brds7t7
Does the 1.54.61.5 number correspond with the Stock recovery and does that mean I use both stock nandroid and stock recovery
Once I know that then all that remains is a tutorial to guide me through the process.
Thanks again.

You need both. There is not an actual stock recovery for your phone on that page but the 1.54.161.5 should work. Full tutorial on that page but quick rundown, get one of the twrp ones.
download nandroid, unzip nandroid into twrp/backups/serialnumber/ directory on your phone
load twrp and choose restore, choose that nandroid, let it finish, click reboot and make sure phone is working
load boot loader and put in fastboot mode
fastboot flash recovery 1.54recovery.img

Hi
Just to clarify a few points.
1. There is not an actual stock recovery for your phone on that page but the 1.54.161.5 should work.
When you say "Should Work" what exactly does that mean? What is the chance it won't work and mess my phone up?
2. fastboot flash recovery 1.54recovery.img
Where should I download the recovery.img to? Should I also put that on the phone prior to installing.
Finally should the phone be s-off or s-on
Thanks again
Restore HTC One (M8) to stock
Hi
I have to admit I am finding this all too much to take in and am feeling overwhelmed by it all.
I consider myself to be quite computer literate however I have never come across such a bewildering array of options as there is with rooting and unrooting an android phone.
I made the original mistake of rooting my phone and flashing a different rom without really knowing what I was doing. Consequently I have no means of returning my phone to stock other than trying to follow the the instructions posted by other members of this forum who I can see put a lot of time and effort into helping others.
So I guess what I am asking for is for an expert to help guide me through, step by step. in returning my phone to stock. I am not sure if offering payment is against the forum rules, if it is then I apologise otherwise I am willing to pay for any help that gets my phone back to stock.
Thank You

Hi
My good news is I found a tutorial that helped me to return my phone to stock. The site had a video tutorial and a step by step guide which I followed and now I have a stock htc m8.
I would like to say thanks to all who helped.

All I have to do now is to remove the tamper flag for which there are plenty of guides.
Thanks again.
