bogfather, thanks for the info. I was also searching for this kind of info, as my HOX is rooted and has a custom ROM in it (RENOVATE 3), which works like a charm.
I wanted to have as a backup solution option to return to stock eventually. Read so many threads on XDA, but still not entirely sure about the process (total n o o b).
cidgetter in the top of the screen says: [CID is: ]: [VODAP102]. I guess it was Vodaphone branded phone, so somebody rooted it to get rid of the Vodaphone stuff.
Question - if I want to get back to stock, do I have to use Vodaphone ROM, or I can use any stock ROM?
Cheers!

I saw his other post. He is on custom rom and doesn't have an original backup of stock rom, neither does he know the original rom version.
EDIT CIDGetter doesn't return anything on my cm10 rom. Use "fastboot oem readcid" from your PC while the phone is in fastboot USB mode.
EDIT2: @bogfather I seem to be dropping in uninvited. I hope you dont mind.

Are you referring to Toto, or me, 'cause you exactly described my case - custom ROM, without original backup of stock ROM, not knowing the original ROM version.
What are the options in case I decide to revert to some (not Vodaphone) stock ROM?

I was referring to toto. AFAIK (and someone correct me if I am wrong), you have to return to VODA102 if you decide to go back to stock. RUU's read info from the bootloader, such as hboot version, cid etc. and do some checks before they proceed with installation. Unless you disable those checks in the RUU script itself, other RUUs will probably not flash.
Your other options would be installing ARHD, or maXimus ROM since they are the closest to stock there is. There is also a deodexed stock rom by showp under android dev section.

I see.
Thanks for the explanation, mate!

NP. One more thing before you attempt to flash an RUU: You have to install a stock recovery first.

No worries mate, you can never have to many people helping :thumbup:
Eyosens right about the ruu, you would have to use a ruu with that cid until s-off is achieved

It will work if the ruu you have is the same software version or higher than what you was on before you flashed the jb rom.

I'm in the same position... My HOX TIM IT branded has a 1.29.901.11 RUU (I think... I saw this under Software information) but I can't find it anywhere! The question is the following: If I will flash a custom ROM, like viperX, that has a higher RUU then mine, when I need to go stock, for example for the warranty, I need the stock RUU with the stock ROM, or just the stock ROM with any RUU?

The 1.29.901.11 is your software version, a ruu is the full stock Rom as if HTC were loading your phone for the first time.
Flashing a custom Rom doesn't change what ruu you will need to revert to stock, just look for a ruu with the same or higher version than what your stock software version is. Unless you have a s-off one x you will need a ruu with 901 in it (that's your cid).

Oh, thanks mate! But atm, I can't find it anywhere, even here in the forum... What can I do? My only worry is reverting it to its actual status, so I need to find this RUU, after that I'll be quieter and I'll flash the viperX ROM... Can you help me?

Bear with me, I'll have a look

But is there another way to be sure that I can revert my HOX to its stock status? For example, if I flash the viperX rom, that has 2.17.401.2, will I be able to re-flash my stock ROM, previously backuped, with that RUU?

i cant find that ruu either, if you ask in this thread someone might be able to find it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604
if you do a nandroid backup after flashing a custom recovery (but before rooting) you could always revert to that to get back to stock rom, but then you would need to find the stock recovery as well to help claim on warranty.
it doesn't matter what software version the custom rom is, you say your on 1.29.901.11 now so thats the only version that matters. you can downgrade from a custom rom as long as your not trying to downgrade lower than what your stock software is now

Atm, I can't post in that section, later I'll do it!
So, for having a backup of my actual ROM, I need to flash a custom recovery BEFORE doing the root hack, right? The process will be "Unlock Bootloader -> Flash a custom recovery -> Nandroid Backup -> Root -> Flash a custom ROM", right?
For the downgrade to the stock firm, I'll need the stock recovery and the stock ROM, that I previously backuped?

thats right, but you only have to root if your sticking on stock rom but want root access, if you flash a custom rom they come pre-rooted.
so it will be
1 unlock bootloader
2 flash custom recovery
3 nandroid back up
4 flash custom rom (but remember to flash the boot.img from the rom in fastboot first)

Ok, now this part is ok for me! But the only wall between me and the custom ROM is that RUU... The only thing that I haven't understood yet, is the utility of this RUU... Can I revert to stock WITHOUT this RUU, but only with my stock ROM+stock recovery? Help me to figure out the function of this RUU, please...

[Q] How to proceed for official JB update?

Hi..
I have just bought a new HOX with 4.0.4 and sense 4.1 build no. 2.17, CID HTC__038 INDIA.
My Question is if i unlock BL, get CWM recovery and Root it now what will be the preparations i have to do for getting OTA OFFICIAL JB Update, which is expected in recent time.
Will i need to unroot it and relock BL or anything like that.
Another thing if i get a Custom JB rom from XDA, what will i need to do in that case.
Any Help is Appreciated.
Sorry for being NooB but just got the device and not knowing much about it, tried searching but nothing relevant found in HOX forum.

1- to get the OTAs you need to be on stock, so you will need to run a RUU and flash stock boot.img and stock recovery
2- to install JB custom roms you will need to upgrade your firmware to HBOOT 1.28/1.31 and then you can flash pretty much every JB rom

Stock
And what if is everything stock except unlocked bootloader??

In this situation you are able to receive and install official OTA's.
Stock boot.img
Stock rom
Stock recovery
Unlocked bootloader
In this way it's possible

So, if i flash a Custom JB now, i will have to get back to stock rom using RUU (with locked/unlocked BL), if i want OTA update.

Thanks. I've rooted phone two months ago and retun it to stock just like you said, with a nandroid backup, stock and recovery flashed from the exact same backup. Found that somewhere. I've asked that question because my friend told me that update wont work with unlocked bootloader.

If you update your hboot and flash a custom JB rom you are stuck with that until a JB RUU is released. There is none at the moment
If you want to do a official JB OTA you have to get back to stock
1 or with a RUU
2 the method i posted before
Update with pc ?
My advice at this moment is to stay on stock (run it for a while and see there are no problems with the device) wait for the official JB update and start rooting and installing a custom rom after that. Until then you can read and learn more and more about flashing and rooting

Sorry to jump in on your thread, i've updated my HBOOT to the lastest version and flashed a custom JB i wish to return to stock so i can sell the phone. Can i flash an ICS RUU that matches my CID to return it to stock or so i have to wait for a JB RUU to appear?
I tried following that guide down the page but the download link for the "custom RUU" is dead.

No you can not. Downgrading a hboot with a ruu is (still) impossible. Phone has to be s-off. You are stuck on a custom rom until a JB ruu is released

[Q] Upgrade to OTA JellyBean from a custom ICS rom

Hi, I have noticed that HTC_044 is receiving OTA updates to jellybean now, my CID is 044, Hboot version 0.96 and currently running AHD 9.7 custom rom. So how can I upgrade my phone to jellybean?
I have searched through some threads but still confuse with feasibility and step by step guide. The question is can I flash the first original ROM nandroid backup and use the software update from setting? I have to relock the bootloader and reflash original recovery? How do I know which recovery to use as there is 1.26, 1.28, 1.29? Or can I just download the OTA zip and flash it directly on AHD 9.7 custom rom? Or should I just wait developer to upgrade their ROM compatibility?
Thanks in advance

Err... That's a lot of questions.
If you restore your backup and boot.img and flash the stock recovery (I'm not sure which one hboot 0.96 corresponds to, but after booting the ROM you'll know), you should be able to.apply several OTAs to get to JB.
I assume your backup is old, so you will want Titanium backup or something.
An alternative is to relock your bootloader
fastboot oem lock
download 2.17.707.x RUU from htcruu.com (ENDEAVORU) which will wipe your phone. Then apply one OTA and unlock or whatever you want.

Thanks a lot for your patience in answering my loads of questions! I guess flashing RUU is the way to go right?
Or alternatively can I just flash Maximus 8.5 by following the steps provided and use the firmware update as provided in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376?
BTW, will there be any difference if I use Maximus update instead of RUU, because I heard people are receiving battery update from OTA?

Or run a ruu to get back to stock, or make.sure you have the rom, recovery and boot.img to stock. Then you can update the official way.

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.
