Quick question
can I update using a ruu over a custom rom or do I need to flash my stock nandroid before using the ruu?
Thanks in advance

Yes.. you can run the RUU on top of a custom rom, no need to nandroid restore your old stock backup. Most important is the stock recovery been flashed and bootloader re-locked before you run the RUU.
And I normally also flash a stock boot.img first. (some people say no need to do this, but it is no harm doing it).
Cheers for that

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think its possible to downgrade. You can only reinstall the same version or upgrade.
EDIT: Also, you only need to flash the stock recovery and relock the bootloader. No need to flash stock boot.img

So stock recovery isn't part of the RUU?

Not as far as I know, if you haven't got stock recovery the ruu will fail
EDIT: I must of been having a blonde moment , stock recovery will be part of the ruu but the ruu checks you have a version of stock recovery before updating. If it doesn't find it, it will fail

Hi, I've been running a custom Rom for a while and decided to return to stock, so I restored my cwm backup, refreshed stock recovery and OEM locked my phone but my ota update still won't install, does anyone know what I've missed?

do you installed the right stock recovery for your stock rom? it must match the base number of your rom ...
Hmm, maybe not. I'll look into that, thanks.

The software version and recovery version are both 1.28, so I don't know what's up with it.

Have you disabled or removed any stock system apps?
I had similar problem after restoring stock recovery and OTA update was still failing until I restored apps I had disabled.
example: I had disabled by renaming 'Weibo.apk' to 'Weibo.bak', and OTA update kept failing until I renamed it back to 'Weibo.apk'.
In other words to perform OTA update you have to restore all system apps also.
hth,

Good tip, yeah I probably did have disabled system apps to be honest. I've gone and installed the latest ruu now, takes the hassle out of things.
Thanks for the help.

I see the JB flasher tool doesn't support VODA cids yet.

Is there an updated hboot for it? Because if JB hasn't been released, there isn't, and you can't.
Hi yes its been officially released.

make nandroid backup
lock bootloader
update your bootloader(1.36) manually your firmware(bootloader) should be here
re-Unlock bootloader with the same unlock_code.bin you used to unlock in the first place
then install the rom and dont forget to flash the boot.img

I have my original Nandroid of Vodafone image when I unlocked bootloader: so it seems my easiest method without screwing anything up is using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714
I am not as brave on this HTC One X as my old Desire HD was alot easier.
Thanks Vcek!
Your welcome, Yes if you have a nandroid backup its the easiest method to return.
Don't have to worry about One X, as long as your bootloader is unlocked(warranty void), its almost impossible to brick the One X, as long as its S-ON ;D
BUT REMEMBER, you must install the stock recovery to install the JB OTA.
You come to my next question! Stock Recovery. How can I check this?
I guess running this command ? fastboot getvar version-main

Download the Ruu mentioned above (dont forget to thank EddyOS) and once youve downloaded it, relock your bootloader. Once youve done that all you have to do is plug your phone into your pc and run the Ruu and it will make your phone stock Vodafone 2.17. Wont matter if your custom recovery or rooted, only needs locked bootloader.
Dont bother setting your phone back up once your up and running again, just check for ota update on the phone, there should be a small update. Do the update and restart the phone. Recheck for ota update and JB should be there. Voila! If it was me id factory reset as it always seems to be less bug free to me with ota updates.
If you want to make it a bit easier there is an all in one flasher that can lock, unlock bootloader, root, flash recovery.
Word of warning though. A few have had it wipe there storage (me twice) and lost all photos and music and so on, so back up first.
OK so did the above with almost 100% battery and RUU came back with battery under 30%

use JB flash utility.
But I think that " front camera of 9.7 is clear and better than 17.1" ^_^ so I love ARHD.

That tool doesn't support carrier brand CID's would I be better to flash my original vodafone nandroid and try again?

Charge fully and try again. Ive seen it warn this before but it was the Ruu that was correct each time.
It had a thorough overnight charge as was on around 96%..

Hi guys,
I'm reading about custom roms for one x and in installation sections usually are infos about flashing new firmware packages before installing custom ROM from SD. Now I have stock JB with 3.16.69.3 firmware. For example I'm going to flash Android Revolution HD where is older one: 3.14.401.31. Do I have to flash this package via adb or just downlaod the rom .zip file and flash in recovery? What I should do? Thanks
First ... you make a nandroid backup of the stock rom and store it somewhere safe !
Then you download the rom.zip file and copy the boot.img file from within the rom.zip to the fastboot folder, and the rom.zip to the sdcard of the phone
Flash the boot.img file, enter recovery and perform a full wipe. Then install the rom.zip via the recovery menu
And if you are on stock recovery you have to flash a custom recovery first !
The firmware update is needed for jellybean ROMs that have HTC sense 4.0+.
As you already have stock jellybean on your device.
You already have a high enough firmware to flash the custom variants so you don't need to worry about updating firmwares

Thank you for quick reply!
I already have custom recovery ok. Do I think correctly that boot.img is modded kernel image? It is safe to "downgrade"? And last question, what about hboot; I have 1.36.0000 one, it is good?

You have nothing to worry about, all s fine to flash any rom in here. And its not really a downgrade. The software number is a bit different but its all JB

And if you flashed the rom with the correct boot.img and your radio signal/WiFi doesn't work ... Check this thread

You have the same software number. That's why the nandroid backup is important
Hello,
I am thinking of selling my phone and wondering if I can unroot it. I am on hboot 1.36.
Thanks in return
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yeah, put your stock backup back on the phone the one you made before you rooted it.
Or look on YouTube for how to unroot HTC one x
I don't have a backup as I bought it rooted but could I use a ruu?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Maybe ....or a "new" nandroid backup. I can't recall what files to remove exactly to loose the root.
At least remove the su app and you have to delete some entry's in the rom.
Fastboot getvar version-main
Maybe there is a ruu
Will this work
I found this on the internet, would this work?
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...2.17.401.2_release_298985n1wwcwzs385c0bvz.zip
My cid is HTC_001
And it is
3.14.401.27
Will this work?
Thanks in advance
And
Update: I have just found a nandroid backup for my phone.
What do I do now ?
>Flash it
>Relock phone
>Flash stock recovery
Is there anything else to unroot ?
Thanks in advance

Nandroid :
Flash the boot.img
Perform a full wipe in recovery
Restore the nandroid
Flash back the stock 3.14 recovery
Relock the bootloader
That's as stock as you can get. You can also update to 3.14.401.31 and then to the latest base 3.18.401.1
RUU :
use this one
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe
The one you got is the ota. Can't flash it like that.
Charge the phone, relock the bootloader and run the ruu with admin rights.
Then you are also as stock as you can be
Thanks for the help!
