Could use a hand getting back to Stock - HTC One X

HTC One X Quadcore, Virgin Mobile Australia, CID HTC_023, bootloader unlocked, SDK and Sync manager up to date.
I followed root instructions per Ausdroid which summarizes MoDaCo method using "r3-endeavor-insecurebootandroot" except it doesn't tell you when to backup your existing ROM. So no backup of the stock ROM (believe I feel dumb enough about it).
After reading up a bit more, installed Clockworkmod-5.8.4.0 and backed up the working ROM (presumably r3-endeavor-insecurebootandroot).
Since video was not working and caused forced reboots, I flashed the boot img that was in the r3-endeavor-insecurebootandroot.zip file. No luck, so I decided to go to MoDaCo website and try one of the ROMs he has there. The Sense and Vanilla ROMs there resulted in being stuck in the HTC brilliant screen (left it there plugged in overnight since Paul mentions that one should be patient on first boot).
Ok, so tried various other ROMs, no luck. Always erased cache before and after and tried various combinations of wiping data, factory resets, both in phone and in Clockwork etc., no luck. Tried the OneX All in One Kit v1.0 to reflash the Kernel to stock 2.6.39.4 (not even sure that's the one I should be using), no luck. Ok, so I'm guessing it's time to use the RUU. Found a cool method to bypass Filefactory premium and managed to download my RUU: RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_1.29.728.12_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_261350_signed. Presumably the correct one since I used fastboot to give me the 1.29.728.12 as well as the CID info HTC_023.
Following XDA instructions on RUU recovery, I relocked the bootloader, confirmed the version and tried running the RUU.
The RUU tried to run but I get an error
Error Code: -5001 : 0x80070002
Error Information:
>SetupNew\setup.cpp (142)
Suggestions?
forgot to mention using win 7, and already tried a few windows support fixes for 0x80070002 errors.

Anyone know what this error might mean?

Thanks for the reply. It's a good point that is occasionally not mentioned. I've always assumed that the RUU is to be run while in bootloader with fastboot command window open and RUU exe located within the fastboot directory. I used "fastboot devices" to confirm that the pc has recognized the HOX. I also disconnected everything and tried to run the RUU exe file on its own in order to manually flash the exe file contents, but the RUU does not run properly giving me the 0x80070002 windows error message.
three things I have yet to try:
1 install the stock recovery tool (still relying on CMW)
2 run the RUU on another computer (read somewhere that this helped someone's RUU issue when they tried it on an XP)
3 try to download the RUU again
not sure if any of these would help.
By chance, did you mean that the RUU can be somehow executed as a fastboot command? If so I haven't seen anything about it and would appreciate a detailed description of how to do that.

I think you have to flash stock recovery and lock the bootloader to flash ruu. Don't quote me though. Worth a try.

I've tried with the bootloader locked but not with the stock recovery flashed. I'll try it and report back. Any other suggestions are welcome.
thanks for replying.

Partial success
Downloaded the RUU again and this time it worked (who knows why). The RUU gets cracking and then stops telling me that my battery is less than 30% (it shows 100% in my third-party battery monitor).
So I decided to unpack the ROM.zip file from the %temp% directory as instructed in the wiki, but this time, fastboot flash boot boot.img results in a FAILED Remote something or other.
? Do I have to unlock the bootloader in order to manually flash the boot.img and the system.img files from the RUU?
For anyone who might be in the same position here's what worked for me:
Note, these are not step by step instructions!
RUU windows error -> Redownloaded the RUU file and it worked fine
RUU complains about battery less than 30% -> Connect to a different USB port
ROM.zip boot.img can't flash due to FAILED REMOTE error -> unlock boot loader again and then flash boot.img
ROM.zip boot.img flashed OK but System.img fails says file to large -> re-lock boot loader and start the RUU again

I should imagine that the bootloader needs to be unlocked to be able to flash any sort of .img file.
Have you flashed the ruu with stock recovery yet? I suggest you try this if you haven't already, if this fails. Ensure you have the correct matching RUU, then flash stock recovery, lock bootloader and try that.

Someone correct me if I am wrong but each ROM has a matching boot.img that needs to be flashed before flashing the rom.
Look on YouTube cursed4eva has an easy to follow video about going back to stock ROM

Indeed, the boot.img contains the kernel & with s-on devices, boot.img's aren't flashed through recovery so it needs to be done on a computer with fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img).

Also, i forgot to mention. MAKE sure you hold the power and down volume key down to enter the bootloader, then enter 'fastboot' to be able to flash the boot.img in fastboot , i thik that might be the reason you're getting the failed error.

As a point of clarification, the RUU contains the associated boot.img and system.img required to get back to stock. If your RUU fails for some reason, there are instructions in the HTC One X wiki for extracting the RUU file and manually flashing the boot.img and system.img

You're right as to the point that each ROM has a matching boot.img, but in which order you flash them doesnt matter at all.

Unlock the bootloader again and flash a custom ROM, it's usually the easiest way out. Don't bother using the boot.img root method as custom ROMs are pre rooted almost 99 percent of the time.

well as i understand you need to revert to device's stock condition
as far as i know only way to do it is by RUU or individually flashing every image. RUU is easily done but as you mentioned you get error messages try finding out what those error messages mean
common messages are
cant connect to device----ensure you are in fastboot usb mode
version problems----check weather you are using the right RUU (RUU is different for diferent regions) one RUU can have more than one versions so be sure which one you need
and you also need to lock you bootloader before running RUU
let me know if anything works
take a complete backup and make a goldcard just in case..you never know what may happen

Actually, this 's-on' and 's-off' is very much important. You can flash any stock rom with s-off but not that easily with s-on. I'm a noob so I can't really explain further. Search for it!

so first of all you find your ruu from football's marvel collection or search on internet.if its in .zip file its very good extract it,you ll find recovery.img,boot.img and system.img
or if its in .exe file.first try installation wizard if its fail.again start installation wizard and then keep it on dont update bootloader just go to temp folder.(C:\Users\​[LoginName]\​AppData\​Local\​Temp​\​{82B23FCD-D5D0-45CA-A3A2-5350D3926551}) in this you will have see rom.zip file extract it.you ll find
recovery.img,boot.img and system.img then,
remove battery (power +volume down) to going in hboot then click on fastboot then plug your phone usb with computer open cmd and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
you can see fastboot file in your extracted zip.by this way you manually port stock rom.i tried it and it successfully possible.but i use my original stock rom,ages when i used europe rom it failed.
and please be careful in type commands it ll brick your phone if you doing anything wrong..maybe it ll help you

[Q] Can not install RUU

Hello guys.
I'm following this thread to install JB on my HOX.
Currently my phones cid is HTC__102
I almost crashed my phone yesterday as I was stuck in the boot loop, had to use adb to push ICS and install ICS back.
Now I noticed my HBOOT is 0.43, the thread says to download one of the file. I have no idea which one
Tried all 3 all 3 crashed, I'm not sure what happens.
These to run untill I get to this place (see attachment 0.png).
ruu_endeavor_u_ics_40_htc_europe_1.29.401.11_radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed_c9d22.exe and RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe exit with an error of "UNKNOWN ERROR" (see attachment 1.png)
and
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.7_Radio_1.1204.104.14_release_259281_signed.exe crashes and doesn't do anything.
One thing though, the phone is Unlocked, not sure if that matters and I'm using windows 8, but I run all the software in compatibility mode.
Thank you and sorry for my bad spelling.

Now I see, you have 2.17 already, so you have to flash 2.17 minimal.
Btw. strange that you still have hboot 0.43 and a 2.17 base?
You cannot flash the 1.29, so you have to flash:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed
So, you have relocked
Edit: You could try to RUN the RUU when device is in Fastboot without going back to stock recovery, cause it's in the RUU, but if that doesn't work... follow next steps.
Btw. Goto fastboot while unplugged and plugin usb cable after entered fastboot, you should see usb appear.
1. Next you need Stock Recovery:
for stock recovery you could run the above RUU, after you donwloaded it, but not install it.
After you run the RUU, it unpacks to the following directory:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp\{some guid}\{some other guid}\
Get the rom.zip form that directory and in there you can find the Stock Recovery
You can flash recovery through Fastboot using the following command:
fastboot flash recovery [name of the retrieved recovery].img (you need to place it in the fastboot folder.
2. If you have Stock Recovery, Go into Fastboot mode and flash the RUU (2.17).

[Q] OTA JB Update will not flash

Hi All,
This is my very first post, I received 2 updates for my device yesterday, 1 being the updated Hboot and the other the JB rom (about time HTC)
I have a rooted One X CID 001 and previously tried flashing a custom rom and failed (got caught in a horrible bootloop) and managed to flash back to stock.
Now this is where I think I have the problem; I have CWM installed, and every time I try to flash the OTA it fails and reboots the phone, yes I have installed the HBoot update before trying to flash in case you are wondering.
I downloaded the RUU today and spun up a windows VM (I am on Mac) which would allow me to adb/fastboot but failed to start anything saying there is no USB device connected. So I tried something else;
I then copied the .zip from the RUU doing the %temp% trick in windows, and copied it to the SD and then ran CWM and tried to install - failed again.
I then tried something else; fastboot flash the zip - fastboot flash zip rom.zip which failed (in Windows) and on my mac I get this error;
sending 'zip' (653640 KB)... ERROR: usb_write failed with status e00002be
FAILED (data transfer failure (No such file or directory))
Im running out of ideas! Please help!

relock your bootloader in fastboot with this command:
fastboot oem lock
Now run the ruu!
But more importand. You should read everything related to flashing modding of the HTC One X and also the Forum Rules.

Hi Craig
I've seached and cannot find a suitable stock image download for a UK HTC One on the Orange network (if that makes any difference).
Could you post where you downloaded a stock image from please?
I've found plenty of M7 RUU links but it seems a bit crazy to reflash everything including the radio just to reset the bootloader.
Thanks in advance

I've seached and cannot find a suitable stock image download for a UK HTC One on the Orange network (if that makes any difference).
Could you post where you downloaded a stock image from please?
I've found plenty of M7 RUU links but it seems a bit crazy to reflash everything including the radio just to reset the bootloader.
Thanks in advance

Recovery is present in RUU. If u have found the correct RUU then just extract the recovery image from Ruu and then flash it. When u click the ruu a temporary zip file is created in c drive (windows pc). There is a file called "rom.zip" . Extract recovery from this rom.zip
No luck with this..

Hi
I've spent several hours trawling through forum posts and trying suggestions but I'm having no luck getting back to stock.
This is what I have:
HTC One on Orange UK
Bootloader locked
S-On
CWM Recovery
Stock ROM
What I've done is unlocked the bootloader and flashed CWM recovery. I then relocked the bootloader.
I've searched for hours for a stock recovery that is compatible with this model but to no avail. I've also tried to find an RUU for Orange UK but again, no luck.
I've tried to set S-Off using revone but get an 'error: device not found' when running 'adb push revone /data/local/tmp/'. I've also tried to run 'fastboot oem unlock' but that also errors.
The phone works but I'm unable to OTA upgrade which is quite frustrating.
Anyone have any recomendations as how to get this back to stock?
Many thanks in advance

HTC Desire 816 Stock ROM single sim Virgin Mobile Lollipop 5.0.2

Hello. I accidentally deleted my Stock ROM from my phone. I was wonder if anybody had a backup of the stock ROM for TWRP, or the actual stock ROM. I've searched everywhere on the web, and it's like, nonexistent. Plz help I'd like to use my phone again.

Your welcome. You can extract the recovery image file from the rom.zip of the RUU. You run the exe then enter %temp% in the Windows search bar. The files that show up numbered (one of them had the rom.zip in it which contains the recovery image.) copy recovery image , unlock bootloader, flash stock recovery, lock bootloader, run RUU executable, done !

I go to extract the ROM.zip file and it says that the zip file is corrupted. So I tried running the RUU without doing that step, it puts an HTC logo on my phone, and soon after it says the update has failed.
I tried using USB debugging, I've tried booting it in Fastboot and Hboot, I've tried booting it from the Bootloader. It doesn't work. I've searched everywhere on the internet for the Stock Recovery and that doesn't exist.
Is there just a backup I can use or something?

It's been awhile since I copied my stock recovery from my RUU file but I believe I used Winrar or 7zip. So you would rather flash some random persons stock TWRP backup with God knows what done to it before they even made the backup than a clean pure stock RUU ? Most people don't do the TWRP backup right after flashing TWRP. most do it days or weeks later after they have modified their system playing with root. I would never flash someone else's TWRP backup to my device unless it was an absolute last resort. We're one of the few devices (a5_chl)that HTC gives us stock RUU's for . It's all the poor dual SIM users who are having to flash these random TWRP backups and many still have issues after that. I know you think it's easier but it is not as long as you still can flash back the stock recovery. Try to extract it again using Winrar and if that doesn't work( it should) then here's a link to FoxyDrew's forum with the stock recovery for our device linked and flashing instructions ( albeit for kit Kat I believe.) Don't give up on this method cause your almost there ! First link is a step be step tutorial on getting the recovery image extracted from your RUU. Try it first because it's best to copy the RUU's recovery image. If you can't then the 2nd link below has a link to a copy.
