I am on Xperia Arc with unlocked bootloader, with CM 9.0 & CWM Recovery 5.
Before flashing to CM 9.0, I made full backup of my stock ROM through CWM Recovery.
Now I want to go back to my original firmware (i.e. 4.0.2.A.0.42).
When I try to restore backup from within CWM recovery, my phones is stuck at boot after free-xperia logo. Only black screen with nothing on it.
Someone please help me, how can I restore my backup of stock ROM.
i want my phone as it originally came....
plz help....
thanks in advance..

You must flash the compatible kernel for that firmware
Doomlord's kernel for stock rom for example.
As you mentioned, you already restored the GB stock rom; you only need the proper kernel now for it to boot properly.
FXP kernel works for CM only.

You must first flash .42 firmware and then install CWM or doomkernel(it comes with pre-installed CWM) and then perform the restore
tryed SEUS?

There is no need to relock the bootloader.Just flash the firmware and you'll get back to original kernel and the doomkernel well be gone

You may try to relock your bootloader, use SEUS to flash the phone. There's an option in SEUS that you can select and it will not wipe your data.
OR
Extract the kernel.sin from an ftf and flash it via fastboot, then you can return to your original kernel
Stupid question:
did i have to flash the right boot.img when i restore a rom via nandroid?
lets say, i have a sense rom installed, but want to restore the cyanogen rom.
did i have to flash any boot.img before i restore a backup?
i guess not. correct me if im wrong
Yes, of course you do. You can't write to the boot partition from recovery (without s-off), which is why you have to flash the boot.img via fastboot when you flash a ROM. So when you're restoring a backup from recovery it's still not able to write to the boot partition, so you'll have to flash the boot.img from your backup yourself.
where do you get the boot.img from? is it in the nandroid backup file, if so where? Thanks!
ps sorry for bringing up an old thread.
In the .zip file of the Rom you want to restore.

U should flash the same boot.img as it was when u made the nandroid, for example, yesterday I was with venon and franco s kernel, made a nandroid, flashed another rom and boot.img. then used my nandroid of venon, restored nandroid and flashed franco s kernel boot.img.
LET THEM TALK, ALOUD!! HTC ONE X, THE ONLY ONE. VIPERX + FRANCO KERNEL r12
Hello guys,
I have a HTC One X from Vodafone, rooted, unlocked, stock rom, custom recovery, and today (FINALLY ) I received the OTA update to Jelly Bean.
I downloaded it and tried to install it using the custom recovery but it was failing on some assert. I guessed that it was because of the recovery so I flashed back the stock recovery and tried to install; fail again.
Went online and found the directory for the update log and saw an entry saying that there was a problem trying to verify the stock Dropbox apk that comes with the phone and that is placed on /system/apps. I read somewhere that if you modify something on the stock apks the OTA would fail, and unfortunatelly I did, I flashed the Galaxy S3 Dropbox apk on my phone, but that's not the problem, the problem is that I deleted the flashed Dropbox and the stock Dropbox from /system/apps without knowing it and the OTA is still failing.
My guess is that if I can flash the stock Dropbox apk to /system/apps, the OTA will try to verify it and will succeed, and therefore I'll have finally Jelly Bean on my branded device (as I said, is just a guess) so if someone could please send me the stock Dropbox apk, the one located in /system/apps as well as any other file located there that could possibly be related to Dropbox app, it will be very very appreciated.
If you guys think that I'm missing something here and even after flashing the stock Dropbox apk the OTA will still fail for some karma related reasons, please let me know and help me out.
If you need any other info from my phone let me know too.
If you need the .zip file with the official update from Vodafone I have it too.
Thanks in advance.
TO update OTA you SHOULD HAVE ONLY stock recovery and STOCK boot.img(kernel) ..and this way everything will be ok.

Well yes I have stock recovery (replaced the custom recovery yesterday) and stock kernel, I haven't changed the kernel yet, and according to the log the problem is with Dropbox. I'll try to find it and paste it here so you guys can see it.
Thanks.
Just flash the RUU, update OTA and reroot.
Alright, will do and I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks

I have exactly the same problem and I dont know what to do!
I'd like to just flash the Android Revolution HD JB ROM but im scared of bricking my phone and there is no easy guide to accomplish this - the guides ive seen on youtube are for other ROMS...
So, now that JB is out OTA for my stock ROM I want to update to it but I get stuck...
All ive done is unlock my bootloader - Ive never even flashed a custom ROM!
Wish I'd never done it now...way too complex

If you only unlocked the bootloader the update should run fine !!! If it fails you did change some more !

I think they're right, if I hadn't touched the system apps then I think the update would work, having only unlocked and rooted. Right after you try to install the update, go to /cache/recovery/ and check the logs for any clues on why the update is failing.
I'll try flashing the RUU for my phone, then applying the OTA and the rerooting as suggested, maybe you should try the same.
And rule number 1 after flashing cwm custom recovery is
always do a nandroid backup from the stock rom ! Now you know why its important.so when you go to JB and start rooting and running custom roms.....do the nandroid backup to avoid these situations !

I unlocked the bootloader (HTCDev)
I flashed CWR...
That was it (I am running a different launcher but that makes no different right??)
How do I get the RUU for Vodafone UK? Is that the stock ROM? Sorry, I am not very good with this stuff...I was okay at rooting my Desire HD but this is another level

You need to flash the stock recovery !
Do this command
Fastboot getvar version-main
If a number pops up starting with 2.17 you need to flash back this recovery

And yes you did more than just unlock the bootloader, be specific .... it's necessary for this phone otherwise it gets confusing !

But I still have the stock ROM. I never flashed a custom ROM. I wanted to flash a JB rom, thats why i rooted...then I discovered that my CID was not capable of getting a JB ROM so I just left it rooted but on stock voda ROM...
Doesn't matter .... Did u read my post above yours ....
Last time .....
You need stock rom,stock kernel, STOCK RECOVERY....not the custom cwm recovery. That's why the update fails. :thumbup:

Yes, I thought i flashed stock before but am about to confirm
The goal after unlocking the bootloader is to flash a custom recovery to flash different roms.....therefore i doubt u flashed the stock recovery.....unlocking the bootloader and flashing a stock recovery doesn't make sense

Yes, sorry - i did read it and it did say 2.17xxx...I downloaded the recovery you pointed me to but expect i need to re-unlock the bootloader. (I re-locked it before thinking that was causing the issue...)
Anyway, soon I should know if this works
By the way, I really appreciate you helping me - i've been trying to sort this out all evening!

There is a good chance you are correct. The file in my fastboot folder said recovery and I assumed it was what I was after but it may have been connected to something that I was told to download in the unlocking process (I followed a guide on Youtube by a chap called cursed4eva)
I'm reunlocking the bootloader now because I got an error wh3n i tried to flash that recovery img. "writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------
Okay - so I
1/ reunlocked the bootloader which basically wiped the phone back to its initialt state all be it with an unlocked bootloader.
2/ once again completed the OTA download of Vodafone Jellybean for the One X
3/ flashed the 2.17 recovery img that Marcel provided
4/ tried to update
5/ am currently looking at a download / progress bar! (YESSSS!)
6/ am hoping this works!
Thanks a lot Marcel. I very much appreciate your patience!

I already have the RUU for my phone, and I was planning to follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660807
But I was thinking, what if I flash only the system.img instead of all the 3 files? I already have the stock recovery (the one you provided) and I've never changed the boot.img so I still have the stock one.
What about if I flash the system.img only, and then try the OTA update? Do you think that would work?
Thanks for the help.
Yes you can try that, the phone is already wiped with unlocking the bootloader, i never tried it. But in logical terms it is possible yes. If doesn't work you can always run the complete ruu !
That's weird, I'm getting error 00000006 when trying to flash the system.img.
Reading on other posts that's related to the size of the file, which is around 1 GB. If I can't flash the system.img I think I wont be able to run the entire RUU either.
Do you know a way to bypass this error?
i m not sure its a problem or not but i cant update my htc one x either through automatic update or manual....my "about" option shows me this screen plz tell its with everyone or i have this problem and any solution???

yes, you need to find out your cid and main version using this command "fastboot getvar all", then you need to flash the stock recovery and stock odexed rom, relock bootloader and then you should be able to receive OTAs... look around for guides

Basically the phone will get update via OTA if it's on stock rom and stock recovery. Seem yours is not on stock rom.
My question is: how do you know there is an update when your phone is having trouble with "check for update" function?

I asked just to make sure your phone is not on 4.2.2 and that you want ota 4.3 update.
Well, by the screenshot, you're on custom rom.
Now if you want stock 4.2.2 with sense 5 please do as follow:
1. Flash stock rom 4.2.2 (odexed) or nandroid
- Steps:
+ Identify your cid, and download stock rom or nandroid backup
+ Unlock bootloader (if locked)
+ Flash custom recovery (twrp, cwm..) and copy rom to phone memory (sd card)
+ Boot into recovery: Either flash stock rom or restore from nandroid backup file (remember to follow rom instruction carefully)
+ Reboot and there you go.
2. In case there is no 4.2.2 stock rom/nandroid but 4.1.1 only:
- Do same as above steps and your phone is now at stock rom 4.1.1
- Flash stock recovery (required)
- Reboot and check for OTA 4.2.2 update
- After OTA update, perform nandroid backup and save for future usage.
Report the result.
EDITTED:
Please make sure to backup your phone's data before proceeding as you might lost during rom flashing!

Sorry being quite busy with work these days.
Ok, you have downloaded nandroid file, now find stock recovery to download and follow the steps:

- Boot phone into recovery, select install from zip file, browse to the nandroid backup file and proceed.
- Wipe all if boot loop.
- Flash stock recovery
- Reboot phone
Now your phone is in stock status which is ready for ota update. Go "Check for updates" and see..

Do you mean you have an unlocked boatloader and you want to relock it? You need to use ADB/fastboot on a P.C. with your phone in hboot/fastboot mode and enter"fastboot oem lock" into your command prompt window in the ADB folder then your boatloader will relock. You would also need to be on your stock recovery as well with your system unrooted and stock with no alterations to your system files to then do stock updates. Hope this helps.

You need to use ADB/fastboot on a P.C. with your phone in hboot/fastboot mode and enter"fastboot oem lock" into your command prompt window in the ADB folder then your boatloader will relock. You would also need to be on your stock recovery as well with your system unrooted and stock with no alterations to your system files to then do stock updates. Hope this helps.

If it's your boatloader you are referring to "locking" and you originally "unlocked" it you just need to use ADB/fastboot and the command prompt I gave you with your phone in hboot/fastboot mode and USB debugging enabled in your developer settings on your phone to "relock" your boatloader. As long as you're on stock recovery and haven't modified any system files you will be able to do stock updates after that. Hopefully that's what your wanting to do and I'm not just misunderstanding what your wanting and if I am I apologize.

Yes. As long as your not rooted and have no system modifications and are on stock recovery you will be able to do stock updates

Yes I believe those 2 mods change your system files to allow their codecs to work so they are modifications. Root, Xposed frameworks,WP.mod_ko to enable system write permissions etc... all can be modifications that need to be "undone" before updating a signed stock OTA or signed RUU( Rom update utility). Unsigned stock firmware in the form of compiled zips or TRWP/CWM nandroid backups supposedly need less to be stock but I have never restored from anything but "signed" stock RUU's so YMMV. I personally don't want to flash someone's personal nandroid backup to my phone because I don't know what if anything isn't "stock" on it.
That's a personal philosophy and I know they upload them for a reason to help those who can't find a signed update or use one but as long as I can I will because when you flash someone else's personal backup you flash the good and the bad, if any. Hopefully you backed up your stock rom before flashing Cyanogen mod , as I have it in my phone as well, and then you can just restore it when you want, reflash your stock recovery, lock your boatloader, unroot and then do any stock OTA's. I also believe you can flash your stock recovery , unroot in Cyanogen mod, remove mods and flash a stock RUU over your current ROM but I've also never personally done that . I just restore my stock backup , reflash my stock recovery, unroot, lock my boatloader and do stock update that way.
Best advice I ever got here was to backup and keep my stock ROM in a nandroid backup to micro SD card before any flashing of new custom roms, find your stock zip or RUU exe and save it to your computer just in case and the same for your stock recovery because you never know when you might need it and I have. Multiple times and it's all in a folder on my computer. If it's a U.S. variant the RUU's are on HTC's website. If not most are found online. Just don't flash the wrong firmware or it could brick your device.

Yes , as long as you don't "dirty flash" over Cyanogen mod with your stock backup. Always do a factory reset before flashing between different roms then wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery before reboot into system. You also need your stock recovery flashed back as well before locking your boatloader. Otherwise I use TWRP.
