So as will be immediately obvious, I am new to posting on this site and I'm sure the title will explain why. Before I start, I was using (the 'was' will be explained later) a rooted stock ROM and I had not backed it up (the instructions I used forgot to mention it).
The 2.17 HOX OTA update was finally released by three (I'm currently on 1.28) and I hoped that this update would fix several problems I've been having (standard HOX problems like battery life, camera quality, lag, and an ever growing system data). So I was fairly desperate to install this update, but when I tried clockwork recovery told me that it failed, and by using google I discovered that I'm not the only one with this problem.
This where I get stupid. In desperation to install this update I found that SuperSu has an option to full unroot and I hoped that this would reinstall the stock recovery in the process, but now I am left with an unrooted phone with clockwork recovery installed.
If anyone can help me reinstall the stock recovery so I can install this update I'd very much appreciate it. I apologise if I was long winded, I just felt it better to try and explain the whole situation.

I'm not sure what's stopping you from installing the stock recovery?

Thanks for replying. I'm not very knowledgeable at this so I'm not sure how to, and would I need to use a computer or can I do it directly on my phone?

No I don't think so, can I download it? Should I already have it, and if so where would it be?

You need to install Android SDK on the PC you want to do this on.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Update/install everything on it once installed.
Then you can begin.

Hey
is there a way to flash the kernel without a PC?
So i can download it with htc one x and install it with a app or termibal comand or something like that.

Yes of course there is, but in every ROM flashing guide they say you have to do it from PC because nobody likes you.

No need to be rude BenPoope.
No, unfortunately its not possible yet. It will be possible once bootloader is fully unlocked aka S-Off access.

It was just a joke. If I was a little too sensitive, perhaps having my name misspelt could be considered rude.
Unfortunately not.
I did some experimenting with this by manually flashing boot.img with dd
Reading and flashing a boot.img works fine but as soon as you reboot its back to old img.
Deduction
Hboot protection is removing external changes to the boot partition and the only way to get a change to stick after reboot is with fastboot which requires a PC to use

I flash my boot.img files using command prompt, and my fastboot folder is stored on my C drive. I got a new computer and am trashing the old one soon. Can I just copy the entire fastboot folder onto the new computer, C drive, and continue as before? I'd initially got the fastboot folder while rooting, but don't remember where I got it from. Both my old and new computers run on Windows 7, if that helps.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Thanks a lot for getting back to me. But *noob alert* what did you mean by installing the drivers again? Do you mean the ones from htcdev? Can you point me somewhere the steps might be? Or if you've seen this query before, just let me know. I searched this forum once, but will check again if you've seen someone else ask this question before. Thanks again!

Re-unlock your bootloader
Flash CWM touch recovery
Flash a custom rom
this will get your phone back up & running whilst giving you the root you were after in the first place.

You can use the same unlock code, use the same bin file, you don't need to generate it all again.
Once unlocked,
Enter fastboot on your phone
Plug into PC (should now say fastboot usb)
Flash CWM touch recovery
CWM touch > http://db.tt/VF9J2eo8
place it in your fastboot folder within Android SDK on your PC
Open command prompt on pc
Default commands are: (first command is different if your pc installation of Android SDK differs from its default location)
CD c:/Android-SDK/platform-tools
fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
---
Then you want to download a custom rom of choice,
You can place the zip files on your phone from within CWM recovery whilst plugged into PC - just select mount usb storage within CWM recovery, and drag them to your phone, then unmount.

Hi, I have a Desire Z that keeps restarting itself almost. I can go as far as opening the app drawer before it restarts again. I'm trying to figure out how to fix it or at least recover/backup files from the phone. Can anyone help?
if I flash a custom recovery/root my phone, will that wipe everything on the phone? I am mainly concerned with backing up all my data. The stock recovery shows phone with red triangle, dont know what that means. Please help.

If i remember correctly you can do this by holding down the S button while booting the device.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
Tried booting in safe mode, still the same thing. The phone reboots as soon as the launcher is done loading. I think its an issue with either the launcher or there's a conflict in android/sense which is causing a crash. Still trying out different things.
Edit:
Since I have never recieved OTA update for this phone, I believe I'm still on RUU_Vision_BellMobility_WWE_1.34.666.1_Radio_12.28 b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2. I have adb set up, is there a way to confirm I can safely S-OFF/root?
Edit 2:
Did a factory reset - no changes, still rebooting
Edit 3:
Seems like USB debug is not turned on my phone, I tried my gt-i900 and can see it using adb devices but not when i plug in my Desire Z
Edit 4:
While in stock recovery, I have a phone with a red triangle, and adb shows device as offline. At least I can confirm that adb is working with my DZ. Now to figure out how to push files to it
After the factory reset you won't get any of your data back, but you need an os so you can root. Find the latest ruu for your phone and fllash it through fastboot or bootllader as a pc10img

is fastboot the same as adb? for example, when using gfree do i just replace adb push with fastboot push?
Edit: Nvm, figured it out, now I need to find the proper RUU for my phone, which one should i be using?
Edit: Stupid question above, I already mentioned which ruu i was using so I'll try to flash that. brb
Nope, adb is similar to fastboot but different, read my thread on it as if you own any HTC phones (and various others) its a must to learn. You'll find it here in the general section
You will use fastboot not to root but to flash the latest ruu as you need to have adb access and this means you'll need an os that's working.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
This is the command you will run in cmd or terminal but read up on my thread to understand more

I read your thread, very helpful. I had one question though, do i need an oem ruu to run the command fastboot oem rebootRUU? I'm just confused as to whether I need to root first, flash the hboot, or flash the ruu. I also have the stock recovery so when do i flash the cwmr?
1st you need the ruu, I believe nipqer has most on his server found in one of his threads. You will use fastboot to flash this. This will rewrite all your firmware and software and hopefully produce a functional os so you can get adb access
Once this is done, follow the xda wiki to root your phonephone

Finally! Phone boots up and I have adb access.

I'm glad you're up and running! I suggest to check out my is this a brick thread as it may help know what to look for if you run into trouble in the future

I have unlocked my bootloader and installed cm10.1 on my HTC one x. I forgot to make a recovery for my ROM and cannot find a working stock ROM. I am from the UK and my HTC one x was locked to three, I got a code to unlock it so it would work on O2-UK. Does anyone know of a stock recovery Rom so I can re store my phone? The reason why I cannot use cm10.1 on my one x is because I get a error saying "the process com.android.phone has unexpectedly stopped" every time I press ok to get rid of it, it comes back over and over. Anyone know or suggest why? (THE CM10.1 MOD IS THE NIGHTLY VERSION) thanks
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda app-developers app
Wipe data... Manually format /system from custom recovery and then flash CM10.1 again! and also make sure you flash the boot.img again!
If you want to go full stock, then post the result of the following:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
Thanks, how do I flash the boot.img please?

You need fastboot folder : http://d-h.st/8Jr (Download it and extract the Fastboot folder in your pc)
HTC Sync Manager (For the latest drivers) : http://www.htc.com/www/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx (Skip it if you already have)
Now boot your phone to fastboot mode by pressing Power and Volume Down button together till you reach bootloader screen. Now select fastboot from the screen.
Open the cm10.1rom.zip file and extract the boot.img from it place it in the fastboot folder.
Connect your phone to your PC and then go to fastboot folder and open a cmd window there (Pressing shift and right click)
Now run the following commands:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Now go to recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvic and then flash rom.zip and then gapps.zip and REBOOT!
