As far as I know in order to reinstall the original stock ruu you will need to relock (unroot) your phone. If you want something near to stock rom then I would suggest the Android Revolution rom.
Android Revolution works even better than stock. You'd try it!
restore the nandroid backup?
Hi
I have an unbranded (unlocked) HTC One X (Bought in UK). I recently received 4.1.1 update but I have decided that I want to root my phone. I have never rooted any phone before so I am pretty much new to the whole process.
I would really like to back up my phone as it is. I am not sure if it is possible to create a ROM of the current state of the phone and restore it if I want to. This is because my phone is still under warranty and if it goes faulty I would like to send it back to HTC in its original state.
I can backup my contacts, messages, apps etc. separately. It is the actual original HTC software I am more worried about.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Anyone please?
I have been browsing through the forum and I have seen few people ask very similar questions but no one seem to have figured it out yet. I have also seen many topics where people are struggling to recover back to stock ROM because they did not make any proper backups.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
So you need 3.14.401.27 RUU. You are on 2.17.401.x now?
Check htcruu.com, the UK ROM is widely available.

Thanks for the reply.
I have official HTC 3.14.401.27 installed on my phone right now. I have never rooted it or anything. That is why I am asking if there is a way for me to save that as a ROM or save that ruu before I root my phone.
Make sure you make a nandroid backup of your stock rom after unlocking bootloader and installing clockworkmod recovery, and keep that backup in a safe place.

Okay thanks. Any other way to make a copy of stock kernel and recovery too?
i believe there are links to stock kernels and stock recoveries. there's also a thread to go back from custom rom to stock rom if ever you change your mind

Yup I have been reading that.
But it says that:
These instructions require that you have one of the ICS hboot versions in order to work (1.12.0000 or lower). If you have one of the new JB hboots 1.28, 1.31 or 1.33 there is currently no way to return to stock until a JB ruu is released for your device.
After checking my phone, it seems like I have 1.33. It seems like there is no way for my phone to get back to stock at the minute. That is why I was asking if there is anything else I can do to make it possible before I actually root my phone.
recently i've been trying to return back to my old stock rom and i cant find it. my version is 2.17.111.3 and cid t-mob 101..... anyways i couldn't find RUU but i found nandroid backup??? Can I return to stock from this??? SOMEONE HELP!!! I REALLY NEED MY SENSE BACK!!!!
Yes, might also want to install the stock recovery afterwards.
You're in luck, I beleive there was at least one other person trying to return to stock and I'm pretty sure they posted on this forum.
I want too restore the stock rom.
Hey guys, please help me out. I tried reverting back to stock AT&T HTC One M8 but I seem to have managed to remove the entire OS. I was following a guide on here on how to revert back but whatever I did in RUU, it completely ruined the phone so far. I can't load past the HTC logo. I'm able to install a custom recovery program but I don't know how to get back to anything at this point. I'm going to try to flash a custom ROM and see if that works but ultimately I'd like to go back to completely stock ROM. Thank you for the responses in advance.
First, flash a ROM in recovery to get it working again. Secondly, read the guides on going back to stock more thoroughly and make sure you understand what you're actually doing before trying to go back to stock again (the same is true before you even think about unlocking the phone - why do something when you have no idea what to do if something goes wrong?!?!).
I know my response may sound harsh but if you'd read up on everything first before doing anything then this question wouldn't have to be asked over and over again by multiple people every day...

Thank you for the response, appreciate it! I do read almost everything before flashing my devices, I like to see what problems people encounter before I attempt to mess with my phone. But I just found my mistake I ran into. The guide I was reading was about going from GPE to Sense Stock (I had maybe 4hrs of sleep in my defense on being brain dead). I did flash back to a custom ROM for now, I'll just do some more further research on going back to stock sense. Is it just as simple as getting the ROM and flashing like the custom ROMs?

So, were you running a GPe ROM or a Sense ROM? If you were running a Sense ROM you just need to restore a backup to get it back to stock. What software build was the phone on when you bought it new?

I was on a Sense ROM. Android Revolution to be exact. And if you're talking about this number: 1.54.401.5 then I was that?
So just find a backup and restore to it? And that'll allow me to grab OTA updates too?

If your phone was on 1.54.401.5 when you first got it (or before you flashed a custom ROM), and if you're S-OFF, you can follow the guide in my signature to go back to 100% stock

Now what if I'm not 100% sure what build number I was before messing with my phone? Good chance of bricking? And one last question I promise, If I do go back to stock Sense ROM, can I still be rooted. S-Off, bootloader unlocked and still receive OTA updates? Or would I have to lock down again? I did read your guide, I was just wondering if I would still receive em before I decide to do all this work again lol
I really appreciate the quick responses. You're awesome.

If you're not sure on the original build then I wouldn't follow my guide. Do you know the CID of your phone? to check, run the following fastboot command:
fastboot getvar all
And post the results (blanking out the S/N and IMEI)

Well I recently changed my CID to that 11111111 CID but here's what I got from that command:

Looks like an AT&T model to me.
Something that is not clear to me: Did you convert your phone to GPE or not? The partiton sizes are different so, if you did a GPE conversion you would need to convert your firmware partitions back.
If you didn't convert to GPE, you should just be able to restore a CWS__001 backup from the stock backups thread in the general section, flash stock recovery and download/install the OTA.

Yes, I have an AT&T HTC One M8. As far as I know, I never converted to GPE. Here's a history of what I've done as far as flashing goes.
Unlocked bootload, rooted, went S-Off, flashed Android Revolution, flashed Viper ROM, went back to Android Revolution then tried to go back to stock and broke my phone. Now I'm back on Android Revolution. I did a whole bunch of factory resets/dalvik wipes and such so maybe that's why it looks confusing?

Same Problem?
Hey folks!
I have the same question I think and I don't want to open a new thread.
I flashed SinlessRom over ViperOne without converting to GPe and now I'm stuck in a bootloop...
Can I restore a CWS__001 backup from the stock backups thread, flash stock recovery and I'm good to go?
Edit: Ok, my m8 is working now after flashing ViperOne, because it fixed the partitions
Edit2: There is still no information about the os when I'm booting into the bootloader
Does nobody know, why there is no firmware version?
Missing OS in HBOOT resolution
Finally got the answer I was looking for!
Download the modified TWRP from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54054835
You are going to have to flash your current firmware first before installing it for the OS info to show up again in HBOOT. You can use the Flashify app to install it or else just do it the PC/ADB way using command prompt like I did. It totally worked for me, so go ahead and try it!!
If you have questions on how to flash anything, lemme know.

Yoda,
Hey........ disregard my previous message. That version of TWRP DOES work (fixing "Blank OS" issue), HOWEVER........ I created a new backup using it and then tried to restore it over the weekend........... IT DIDN'T WORK! I think something is corrupted with it. So anyone who clicked on that link and got that version of twrp, delete it and ANY BACKUPS YOU CREATED WITH IT immediately. They are corrupted and useless.
Fortunately though, I was able to find a fully-operational version of TWRP over the weekend that has no issues and it too fixes the "Blank OS" problem too. Here you go:
http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?16278-SPRINT-RECOVERY-TWRP-Recovery-(UNOFFICIAL)-v2-7-0-4 (Control + F this: "Downloads TWRP Recovery 2.7.1.0 (DH) | Mirror (AFH) - build date: July 13, 2014". I downloaded from the Mirror link.)
Don't worry about it saying Sprint...... the dev CONFIRMED it works for all variants/carriers. So after creating a new backup using the standard twrp, I went back to stock recovery, re-flashed my most recent firmware (2.22.401.5), and then switched over to that new version of twrp........ created a new backup and then restored it using that new version. Worked like a charm!! And the "blank OS" issue........... gone! I highly recommend it!!
So please delete that old twrp and any backups you created using it, and you should be good to go!
P.S. My thanks to Midasgalp and also Captain Throwback!!

Hello everyone.
I am wondering how can I go back to the stock ROM and kernel on my HTC One M8. Right now I am running the LiquidSmooth ROM on Android L, but I would prefer to return to the stock one. My phone is S-ON, unfortunately, and I have the European model. If someone could please help me out, I would really appreciate it. I would like to have the stock ROM on Android L, because I'm used to it.
Thanks!
Restore your nandroid that you should always make of your stock setup before flashing ROMs.
Otherwise, find your stock ROM on the following thread, and restore using the instructions given on the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
You can use the guide in my signature. Some parts require S-OFF but most can be done with an S-ON device, so long as it's definitely the EU model
