Stock RUU - HTC One X

Ok the first thing I did when I got my HOX was root it and flash a custom ROM. However I've never been fully satisfied that I'm getting the best battery life. Don't get me wrong, I think the chef's on here do a great job and the improvements they bring to the "experience" is immeasurable. For me though, battery life is paramount and I think I had that on stock.
So my question is: I've seen a lot of complicated instructions on returning to stock but on previous phones (such as Hero etc) it was just a question of running the RUU.exe on PC connected to the phone. What happens if I do this with the HOX?

If you use stock recovery, the right ruu should run. Doesn't run if you use custom recovery or hboot in ruu is older than that on the phone. Also phone's cid must match ruu's

RUUs run fine if you have a custom recovery, you just have to make sure you're using the right one and you've relocked the bootloader

It's been awhile since I did it but afaik you must have stock recovery and bootloader can be unlocked. Just the opposite of what EddyOS says. Go figure.

I had to flash my RUU the other day to get the JB OTA and just relocked the bootloader and away it went. The RUU replaces the recovery so the version on the phone isn't important

I know for 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 ruu's, it was as I described. Maybe things got changed with JB ruu.

Thanks to everyone for the answers so far. Based on the above, do I lock the bootloader before or after running the ruu?

There isn't a JB RUU yet and won't be until it's been released (in the next few weeks hopefully)
To the OP - you HAVE to relock the bootloader to be able to run the RUU. So long as you have the right RUU for your phone you'll be fine

Cheers everyone. I am now back to a rooted, stock HOX :good:

Hi all , ..
I've finally Unlocked my One X Bootloader & installed CWM Recovery & Rooted my phone

And how can I get the stock recovery of version 1.29.708.15 ??
thanks for your help anyway
You don't need to relock your bootloader for ota. Im afraid I don't know where to find your stock recovery as I don't bother with ota's, I use custom roms or ruus
EDIT: if you can find your versions ruu you should be able to extract the stock recovery from it

Run the ruu BUT DONT hit next.
From explorer enter %temp% in the address bar.
Find two newly created directories
In one of them there is a file called rom.zip
Copy that to another place. Close ruu.
Everything is inside the rom.zip file.

You will get the update (if your ROM is just stock, but rooted) but you won't be able to apply it.

If you stay in stock Rom but with custom recovery and rooted you would still get the notification of an update but it would fail until you put the stock recovery back on. Some people say you don't need to unroot for the ota but from my past experience it's best to. To unroot you have to go into your system/bin or system/xbin and look for the Su file and delete it. Then uninstall the superuser app.

Downloaded ruu, relocked bootloader by fastboot OEM lock or whatever it is and installed ruu by opening executable ruu file on my pc. Maybe do I have to flash recovery with the stock recovery? At the moment it just resets factory settings if I try to go into recovery...

fastboot oem readcid
Although I'm not sure why we need this, we know which RUU works.
Try
fastboot erase cache
It might sort your recovery out and won't hurt.

So I tried flashing twrp recovery and its knocked out my sensors again. I've updated to 4.04 and when I tried installing my ruu I downloaded it said wrong version but its the same one I used before I updated to 4.04. What ruu version am I supposed to have now?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
The ruu updated your hboot. The old ruu has a lower hboot version. I think you have a ruu on the 1.29 base you need a 2.17 base ruu now.....please correct me if i'm wrong here mates !
Verstuurd van mijn HTC One X
Ok So I used the ruu to find out what version I should download. It is my current version is 2.17.980.6 and it wanted to downgrade it to 1.29........ So obviously that won't work. I went to the same thread I used when downloading the last ruu but can't find the 2.17.980.6 ruu anywhere. I'll keep searching but has anyone seen it??

[Q] Change CID from 11111111

It seems this question has not been answered.
I am trying to install the following ROM for my HTC One X http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...4#post36407155, but it says I need Hboot 1.3 or better.
Well I have 1.14 and the only way to upgrade is to have your CID be HTC_101 or something like that. Mine is 11111111, which is what it should be after I unlocked the bootloader. How do I change it back to HTC_101 or whatever came with my phone?
I can only access the fastboot screen since when I previously tried to install the ROM it didnt work and my phone gets stuck at the white HTC screen and keeps rebooting.
My version is 2.20.502.7. And I can still load into Team Win Recovery v2.4.1.0 if that hepls
Thanks

What exactly does rumrunner do?

Kinda self explanatory, what does rumrunner do to the phone. What parts of the phone are effected? Does a new kernel get updated? If I flashed a stock kernel would I be theoretically "stock"? I'm trying to fix my phone because I managed to get s-on and I want to go back to stock and send my phone for warranty.

Well. S-ON is how your phone came.. so that would be stock, for the bootloader.
rumrunner sets the S-ON to S-OFF (Security On/Security Off)
Once a phone is turned S-OFF it's like you have FULL control of the phone. You can flash a ROM and a kernel as many times as you want (as long as it is made for your phone)
You can be rooted and flash ROMs while not being S-OFF, but S-OFF is like the best of the best for HTC.
You can set the flag back from S-OFF back to S-ON for like you want say a warranty purpose.
This is when the "RUU" comes in handy.
Problem is you need to be S-OFF to run it..
So, you would have to re-run rumrunner, to get S-OFF again, run the RUU, (this will set you back to 100% stock)
then you can run the command to set you to S-ON and you should be good to go.

Don't forget, rumrunner needs stock EVERYTHING, including ROM, kernel recovery, s-on and a locked bootloader. So if you still have adb connectivity, relock the bootloader. Search the forum for the fastboot command to return to "locked", not "relocked". @scotty1223 made a guide to change the bootloader.

What ROM are you running? Why do you believe you only need to flash a stock kernel and not a stock ROM? You're missing something which is why it says to "READ". You aren't following the directions exactly.

There is no special method. If it's an encrypted RUU then it works for S-On.
Basically, follow the FIRST link that google returns.
I thought you had to be s-off to use " fastboot oem lock"?

No, you don't.
If you tried it you would have noticed.
I'm not trying to sound like a douche, but we've kind of given you all the tools you need to complete what you're trying to achieve.
Sorry I just haven't had time yet to actually reset my phone and I was trying to get all my questions out so when I did finally have time I wouldn't have to ask questions then. One last question, am I correct saying the ruu resets all data on the phone?

Yes, it does.
Also, when you fastboot oem lock, you will see an error message but before it you will see that the bootloader did lock, so don't worry. I just tested it out.
If you want to have the current status on your bootloader just type in fastboot reboot-bootloader

Help...I can't go back to sense rom

I have a tmo m8, that I rooted using the toolkit, and then flashed the GPE rom, which has worked with no issues.
However, like many of you, I want the option to go back.
I have tried several methods found on xda, but nothing works.
I found the page with the collection of firmwares and such for different cid's, and still had no luck.
In my understanding, I should just be able to load the stock tmo sense rom onto my sd, go into TWRP, and "install" the zip file, then wipe cache and delvik, and be good to go.
Ideas?
Did you just flash the rom or do the conversion?

You have to flash the sense firmware in RUU first..did you do that?

Never mind, I assumed you did conversion. But it wouldn't hurt though to try flashing the firmware in RUU. By the way, this should be moved to the questions and answers thread.

How would I do that?
Just start fron the beginning like I was doing the full conversion?
The problem is, Like many I have read about, I would like to be able to go back and fourth.

Yes. Find the conversion thread. Start over. I've done it twice and went back to sense with no problems.

Syko,
I appreciate it, but this is the process to go back from full ruu conversion.
I only unlocked bootloader, rooted, custom recovery and flashed the GPE rom.
Now, I want to flash back to the stock, tmobile sense rom.

Oh no. I'm not a expert but s-off is important. Use fire water to do that.

This is what I would do if it was me.
First things first
Get s-off, & super cid .. this could be the problem, not being s-off.
Try to flash a sense Rom..
if it still doesn't work then do the gpe conversion, then go back to sense Rom afterwards. Follow instructions..I've converted twice to gpe and went back sense Rom with no issues.. I'm using sense Rom as we speak.
Good luck

sykko,
Mine is one of the devices that cannot achieve s-off via firewater, so I cannot do any of that.
Thanks

go to twrp recovery select advance wipe tick data, cache, delvik cache, and system.
after that completes then press the home button then install a sense based rom.
Thread needs to be moved, but if op used the gpe ruu to achieve the gpe rom then flashing any sense rom that isn't mrjaydee82's sense rom that fits in the gpe reduced system partition will suffer from one of several problems that render phone unable to boot into Android until some fixing is done... If he just flashed one of the gpe roms as a zip in recovery then merely flash any sense rom.

I should have read more of the thread, op didn't use the ruu. Just wipe everything but microsd in twrp and flash a sense rom. Not working because sense and gpe are wildly different, and big changes necessitate full wipes. Not wiping system and data is likely to be why you are failing.
