Hey, i have rooted my HoX and did not like it, and want to turn back to factory stock.
What is the easiest way to remove root, clockwork mod and then lock the bootloader to get back the waranty and the phone to the original state? Cause im also bugged out cause i cannot update the software without risking it to get bricked.
An easy step by step tutorial in how to revert it would be great.
Thanks for any suggestions.

1. Flash stock Recovery (May not actually be required but doesn't hurt)
2. Relock the bootloader
3. Run the RUU you downloaded for your phone before rooting to get back to stock
Unfortunately even when you relock you bootloader your warranty is still questionable as your bootloader will say "relocked"

An easy step by step would be great (used 4 hours just to get it rooted by searching for guide after guide) Could you please make a step by step for me?
I dont think i need a flash recovery.

1 Re-lock bootloader- make sure fastboot is unchecked in power options, check usb-debugging in developer options, turn off, press volume down whilst holding the power button, select fastboot by pressing power button, plug device into p.c. Navigate to adb folder using command prompt on pc and type: fastboot oem lock.
2 Run RUU relevant for your device available here http://www.filefactory.com/f/7cc7b2fbdd03c031/.
The device will know be stock but, yes, the bootloader will say re-locked and there is no way around this at present.
Ok, but i will then be able to soft-update the phone without bricking?

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.

Copy boot.img into the same folder where the fastboot or fastboot.exe executable file is.
Reboot your HTC One X into Bootloader Mode.
Select Fastboot from the Bootloader menu.
Connect your HTC One X to the computer via USB cable.
Manually flash the boot.imgfile you have extracted earlier. Open a command prompt or terminal on your computer and type the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

as I understand from your statement that you havnt rooted your mobile and you are still at original RUU ROM, if thats true you may have 2 options only ,
1- re-install the official RUU for your device or
2-return it to the repair center

Ignore that, or any advice that says to unlock your bootloader to do so unless you already have unlocked it.
If you are fully stock and are not willing to void your warranty by unlocking or flashing anything report/return it to HTC as a fault.

Unlocking the bootloader does not, I repeat DOES NOT void the varranty, UNLESS you bought it locked to a carrier

What a ridiculous statement.
I quote the following from HTCdev...
"Unlocking the bootloader means that you now have the ability to customize software on your device. Please note that changing your bootloader can cause significant issues with your device and once you have unlocked your device, you have agreed to the disclaimer that states a change in warranty status such that in the event you render your device unusable, you are responsible for the recovery of your device, whether by repair or by other means."
Which clearly translates to...after unlocking your bootloader you are responsible (must pay for) any repairs. There is NO qualification as to whether carrier purchase makes any difference ANYWHERE in the T&C's.
There is substantial evidence ALL over the internet and REPEATED advice from ALL quarters that doing so VOIDS the warranty.

You don't need to root to flash a ROM, you just need to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery...possibly upgrade hboot.
A custom ROM will be pre-rooted.

1) you need the custom recovery to root, that's why it won't work.
2) after installing custom recovery, go to post 2 for instructions on custom ROM installation.

I was trying to downgrade an old t mobile g2 phone with stock 2.3.4 rom installed and I got stuck at the attached screen. Is there any way out of this? The phone is now hanging at the htc logo...
need to make a goldcard. follow guide here (dont skip anything)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
Thanks, but what should I do now - I can't use adb - it says "device not found". Can I reboot the phone and enter the adb shell?
So you can't use adb and you can't boot into os?
Without this or a custom recovery you will need to use fastboot to flash an ruu that is newer than currently installed ROM/firmware
Go to HTCs website and find the latest ruu
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Then flash rom.zip here
But its strange you would loose os from the looking at the pic you uploaded, at what point did os stop booting?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Ok, I just rebooted the phone into the OS. I had obtained a temp root before I restarted. Should I start from the beginning of the guide you linked to (obtaining temp root again) or continue with changing version number and making a goldcard. Thanks a lot indeed.
deleted
Temp root is probably gone after the reboot so you should just start over to be safe
Let me know if you get stuck!

By mistake and in order to rediscover the ruu roms,I installed an ruu rom,after I had a custom rom.
And I would like to return to install a custom rom in my dhd.
Can anyone help me with steps I need to do in order to be able to install a custom rom,I read alot of articles in this forum but still haven't got the general concept of the steps I need to follow in order.
Thanks in advance for the support.
Obviously you already had custom?
Why don't you just follow the same method you used to get the custom rom the first time?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
not to easy.....
Since i know that after installing stock rom you won't be able to get root access in your DHD so in order to use custom ROM in your DHD first you need to have ROOT access so that you may follow script AAHK2 to get root and s-off even if you get root that's fine,that install CWM recovery so that you're about to get access for custom rom installation process.But before flash custom rom take backup or your current rom its not that much require but helpful.
Once all that done. Vol. Down and PWR button will let you go in to bootloader,hit power button and then from fastboot you have to type fastboot flash boot boot.img
then press power button again to get back to hboot screen where you will have recovery option hit there and install your desire custom rom.
if S-OFF then no need to flash boot.img,since i have S-ON so i thought let's mention you about it.if you don't flash your boot.img file then either you will hang in htc logo screen or in boot loop so for S-ON flash boot.img and for S-OFF no needed.
Thanks.

Yes you may unlock or relock bootloader in easiest way how i do,just need to download one file,i know it's chinese site but you need to open it some browser where you may able to translate whole page in order to understand what those chinese letters trying to explain.
this is the site,open in any browser where language translate supports,download file worth size 17.15MB so download it and install it,Once all done connect your DHD and it should detect your phone,Once it detects it will shows your phone current display like blank screen or whatever screen you're up to. now look in that app you will find several different icon click on 4th one like first one is with some S symbol in that line 4th one you have click in there you can see several different icons. Check for lock icon with htc written just click on it,will take 1 or 2min and you will have on your phone option for choose Yes or Choose No and press power button. This by far the easiest method.
If you don't want to follow this then go with htcdev will take some time but will unlock your bootloader too.
Or follow this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133336
Enjoy.My personal advice choose the first one because it is the by far the easiest method to unlock bootloader and there are several other chinese site have made there softwares.
Thanks.

step by stem is too long, but: download RUU, relock bootloader reflash original recovery and run the RUU. If you have questions, just ask
Edit: ok long version : open settings in phone/about phone/baseband version there is your radio verson. Its a long number . go to http://androidxda.com/htc-one-v-primo-stock-rom and find RUU with the same number you have Or put that number into google Download that RUU. Run the RUU (dont plug in phone) while RUU is running it makes a temp files. One of them is rom.zip find that zip, open a extract recovery (or named signed recovery). End RUU. In phone flash that recovery. Then relock the bootloader.after restart plug phone and run RUU. then just follow the steps of RUU.
Make sure you have drivers installed a battery is good.
Hope its all. Let me know if it works.

yes I first flashed stock kernel and then stock recovery and then relocked my phone.( all by adb-fastboot)
but now when I restart my phone still there are red sentences below HTC logo and after that it go too hboot and when I go to recovery for restoring the backup there is no recovery? now what should I do?
again unlock bootloader and flashing recovery and restore?
(at the top of hboot there are tow sentences : 1. relocked. 2.security warning. is there any problem?)
thank you all
Option 1
1. Re-unlock bootloader
2. Reinstall custom recovery for which you made your earlier backup
3. Restore your backup
4. fastboot flash stock recovery.img
5. fastboot flash stock boot.img
6. relock bootloader
7. done
Option 2
1. find what your CID is
2. find your RUU here : http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Primo
3. recheck that your bootloader is relocked
4. if it is unlocked, in fastboot mode - relock the bootloader : run command fastboot oem lock
5. in fastboot mode : flash/run/double click the RUU; follow the updater instruction - next,update,bla,bla,bla until it finish
6. done
as the ckpv5 says...
in that stock recovery you have flashed cant do anything. If you wnat to reload backup you have to use custom recovery
and "reloced security warning" means that bootloader is unlocked and now is locked again-relocked. its for warranty servise to know you messed with your phone about CID: its showed in your phone "open settings in phone/about phone/baseband version there is your radio verson. Its a long number"and the same number is showen in bootloader
Suprised
excuse me for delay. the server had problem.
I choose the option 1 and Re-unlocked my phone by adb. after unlocking suddenly my phone rebooted and the wizard of stock rom started as same as I bought it first......
I check the kernel and it is stock now.
why the rom didn't work when my phone was relocked?
now if I relock my phone again does the stock rom work?
"Magic"
try and you will see. actually I every use RUU for return to stock, so I am not sure about that.
