Directions for flashing back to a stock ROM?

Hi,
International one x. Want to flash back to Stock ROM. I downloaded one from file factory. The process fails.
I first flashed a stock recovery successfully.
Then I relocked the bootloader.
Then I put the phone into fastboot usb mode and double-clicked the RUU.exe
Why won't this work? It appears to get halfway and then says that the process failed. Do I have the wrong ROM? This is a carrier unlocked phone. I got the phone in Taiwan, and I thought that RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_TW_1.29.709.7_Radio_1.1204.104.exe would be the one to flash.
Help is appreciated! Thanks!

What is the error no. ?
Check your actual software version no.
In fastboot:
fastboot getvar version-main

error no 155
version-main: 1.29.709.12
Any ideas? Thanks

Error 155 usually because of unlocked bootloader but you did relocked the bootloader, right ? Try also flash the stock boot.img whether it helps but I've read somewhere, 1.29.709.12 OTA update changed the hboot and you need to have a 1.29.709.12 RUU.

Yes, my screen says "locked" right in the bootloader. Will try to flash the stock boot.img (need to find it first). Thanks, will give it a shot.

If you can read chinese, google for PJ46IMG_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_TW_1.29.709.12
the RUU already out.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I can't read these sites well enough. I used Google translate. It appears that you have to register, which I did, and then reply in the thread. But in order to reply, you have to verify your mailbox, and the email never did come. Darn. This would be the easiest way I suppose.
Ah....email was marked as spam, haha.

Can you upload that RUU somewhere if you got it?

Problem with RUU

While reverting to stock, I got the appropriate RUU to flash, and got error that the recovery image is wrong version.
What should I do, my phone is off and I need solution fast, please help.

I get bootloader version error

I see the image version I already have is higher than the version image I am trying to install from the RUU.
How can I fix this?

CID HTC__J15
See : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30999119&postcount=1888

I am downloading it now, however the name Europe in the RUU made me think that this RUU doesn't support Arabic keyboard while the ROM I had before had Arabic keyboard.

There is no Arabic Keyboard in this RUU but can find it in various thread.
Most important is get your device up and running.

Hi DeboNZ are you able to get JB OTA? I had flash the recovery attached here but I still couldn't flash the OTA (OTA is already available), at recovery mode, it running for a while then at 10%+ it show an error image (phone with exclamation mark).
Do I miss something? I didn't relock it since
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670433
mention that we can do so without relock it.

You can update the phone with a unlocked bootloader, the rest has to be stock.
Stock rom
Stock kernel
Stock recovery
Did u remove some system apps or made changes to the system ?
That could also cause a problem !

I do delete some system apps come with One X Asia (like singtel app etc), but does that really stop the OTA from working??
Beside this I had downloaded
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.17.707.3_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed.exe
but this don't work for me too
my version-main: 2.17.707.3
Baseband: 2.1204.135.20
should exactly match

That could be the problem, and do you have a branded phone or not ? What CID do you have ? the versions match but is it the right one for your CID ?
The ruu did not work because
A : you have a branded phone and need a different ruu
B : you didn't RELOCK the bootloader before running the ruu

CID = HTC__044
and yes I didn't relock yet, perhaps I should try that? or any more alternative?
I only root it with SuperSU, so I assume i'm on
stock rom, basically I need to flash the stock kernel will do? (stock recovery done previously)

To run the RUU, you need only to relock the bootloader, put your device in fastboot mode and run the RUU. That's it, not necessary to flash back stock boot and recovery images.

I can RUU successfully, but now I couldn't get JB OTA, it keep saying Update is corrupted. Follow some recommended from other thread saying do a master reset but doesn't help. Anyone have better idea?

[Q] quick Hboot question

just a quick question,
I am trying to update my GF hox to a new jelly bean rom and I havent dont it in a while and people are mentioning upgrading the hboot.
She has hboot 0.94 so which hboot should I upgrade to?
is it just a matter of flashing the RUU specific to her phone (3 uk)?
cheers!

would really like a quick answer as im stuck on "HTC one X beats audio" screen

After looking here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2009525 it looks as though the jelly bean RUU for 3 UK has not yet been released.
So your best bet would be to flash an ics RUU and wait for the official jelly bean OTA update to come through on the phone. You can try a H3G UK RUU from here http://www.htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor ,but make sure to check what your main
version is using fastboot getvar version-main to see which RUU is the one you need.
You can't update the hboot until the firmware for your CID has been released.
I hope this helps.

What is the error code the RUU is giving? And if the bootloader is unlocked, try locking it and running the RUU again.
Does the fastboot getvar version-main command give you the number with .771 in it?
EDIT: Also, you need to flash a stock recovery if you don't already have one. You can get one from here http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=endeavoru_recovery_signed.img and rename it to recovery.img and then flash it through fastboot using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. But this has to be done before locking the bootloader.

hi thanks! it was because it was still unlocked
now i just have to find a decent ROM that is compatible!

All custom ROMs except those that run jellybean with HTC sense will work fine.
Any jellybean that are based on aosp, aokp or cm10 will work

[Q] Can't flash the device to stock rom using RUU

Hi,
I'm trying to restore from custom rom to stock rom.
My phone is CID ORANG216 and I'm using xx.xx.65.xx RUU releases.
I have 2 relevant files:
The RUU exe - RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_Orange_CH-Generic_2.17.65.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_275590_signed.exe
OTA UPDATE for the device - OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_Orange_CH-Generic_3.16.65.2-2.17.65.2_release_296426gf2xgpisn8xs0fti
After flashing the stock recovery, boot_signed.img, rebootRUU, the RUU update fails because of version failure, I suspect that the HBOOT version is the trouble maker.
My phone is unlocked with S-ON with HBOOT 1.36 and the HBOOT in the RUU is 1.12 .
Due to S-ON I cant change the hboot.
I can't seem to find a workaround for it and install the RUU.
Any ideas??
I even thought about compiling the latest JB release from htcdev development center and flash it...

You need to relock the bootloader to use install RUU . It has nothing to do with hboot . Just take note that you have to use the RUU that is on the same build or higher .

doesn't work... I'm getting "Error [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR"
The only RUU exe available is the one i mentioned and its old
I don't know how to use the OTA file without the original stock rom already installed...
if it helps anything the command "fastboot getvar version-main" on my device gives:
version-main: 3.16.65.2

Like I mentioned . You have to look for the version that's the same with yours or higher to use the RUU . I guess you can't go back to stock until you find the RUU of your version or higher . Maybe you could try a stock ROM nand backup ?

Here are stock backups

Just lock your bootloader using fastboot oem lock and run this RUU with admin privileges..

I don't think your questions relate to the subject here.
Anyway, custom roms are based on the stock rom and most of the times include a file called firmware.zip, look it up in the costum_rom.zip file.
hboot updates are tricky on this device and for upgrading it (from ICS to JB supported hboot) you need a special firmware built for your specific htc one x model (look at the manuals for more instructions).
For the battery saving, I think it depends on the rom you install and not the kernel (or maybe both because they come together?), check out for old posts about that issue, I'm sure its not the first time someone asks about it.
hope it helps
