How to unroot & lock the bootloader? - HTC One X

Hey,
I have an One X, with the IceColdJelly-ROM - Android 4.1.
I got this devide 2 weeks ago and rooted it on the first day, a big mistake.
Because I have one of those devices with the screen flickering-bug.
After flashing the ROM, a lot of people told me, I should wait 2 weeks because the fix for the problem was integrated into the kernel of the rom.
But I still have the error and want to get it repaired.
So; how can I lock the bootloader again and unroot it?
Regards..

1. Relock the bootloader:
fastboot oem lock
2. Flash the RUU you downloaded before flashing a new ROM as you did the clever thing and made sure you had it before doing anything to your phone

What does RUU mean?

www.htcruu.com
Install your stock RUU,
A RUU is basically a windows installer of stock firmware, it restores your phone to stock.
Don't know your RUU version?
Put phone in fastboot USB, use the following adb command:
fastboot getvar main-version

Hey,
I have bootet into the bootloader and did the command you told me.
It says:
C:\ Android> fastboot getvar main-version
getvar:main-version FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 0.655s

Maybe you made a mistake, because - if I type: fastboot getvar version-main - instead of main-version; it says:
version-main: 2.17.207.2
Which ROM do I need now?
I'm from Germany, if that's necessary..

Surprisingly, one with those numbers in it. Which might not be available.
Did you take a nandroid backup before flashing your customers ROM?

Help , my htc one x won't flash any rom

Hi guys
I got the Asian pacific version of the Htc one x and I unlocked its bootloader, rooted and flashed clockwork mod recovery. I copied the Miui rom to the root of the device but I unblugged the cable while it was copying and I didn't notice that. so I went to mount settings formated the system without backing the system up and when I tried to install miui off course it says installation aborted. anywho I tried to download RUU for the Asian version and when I install it after 6% it gives me this error:
[155] unkown error
soo I decided to lock it again and to restore it's recovery, I found a guy from Meddile east posting a recovery so I took it and flash it (I don't know wheither it's recovery for ME devcices, Asian or both).
any who after 6% I get a new error
which is this one:
[131] customer ID error.
I thought the problem because I chosed the rong RUU so I tried to get the cid by typing
fastboot getvar cid
and it says: CID: NONE
tried to type :
adb shell getprop ro.cid
it says device wasn't found
please help me , I've been trying to solve this problem for three days now.
sorry for my bad english
thanks
There are two ways here:
1) do you still want to flash a MIUI ROM ?
You need to re-unlock the bootloader and flash this recovery http://xda.richardtrip.org/HTC/reco...kwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru_fixedadbusb.img
It will mount your sdcard once you are in recovery, so you can put your MIUI ROM in it and flash the ROM.
2) do you want to flash back to stock ?
Check your software version, in fastboot mode : fastboot getvar version-main
then only can confirm the right RUU for you

Hello

But google does'nt seem to find a RUU with this number.
What RUU should i search for? I tried so many version, but none is right I'm so tired of trying, please help!

[Q] how to return my one X to original roms?

Good evening!
I'm new to this so ill try to be as specific as I can. about a month ago I've bought the One x from a private store here in Israel and i think it was from taiwan or something. anyways, a couple of days ago i started messing with it, rooting it and everything.
I unlocked the bootloader via the htcdev.com, did the whole CMD thing and everything and flashed the android revolution HD rom (thats the name?)
so it was great and everything but it wasnt as complete as the rom my phone came with (I guess its the stock rom) so i tried the RD MIUI rom and it was fine, but still not what i was looking for and so i realized i need to come back to the stock rom, simple and clean.
now after the whole unlocking and rooting and everything, how the hell do i get my stock rom back? i want to lock back my phone, unroot it and put the old rom back on it and im very new to this whole HTC rooting thing, since i was using the galaxy s 1 and 2 before the HTC.
I searched the forum and couldnt find a guide, every post here is just links but no TUT's, as if everyone already knows everything!
anyways, I would really appreciate anybody helping me!
my phone is the international version i guess, bought in israel shipped from some asian country but is unlocked to all carriers and everything, not an AT&T version or anything.
First thing, make sure what is your original software version.
If you're not sure, run this in fastboot mode
go to bootloader
type fastboot getvar version-main
tell us what no. it show
then will be the next step to get the correct RUU for your device

If you are talking about the Terminal Emulator app, I don't think it can read the version-main as the getprop command will read what is written in the build.prop
But I maybe wrong as I'm not really familiar with Terminal Emulator except some basic command.
So how do we flash this whole thing?

Reboot to bootloader / fastboot mode where you see the word fastboot usb highlighted in red.
And the above files only for 1.29.707.11 software version, it won't work for others.

If you follow the step carefully, there is no phone power up needed. You need to run the RUU in fastboot, directly after step 3.
Put your device in bootloader mode. Press power and hold it, you wll see the three buttons blinks and the device will shutdown. Release the power button, hold the volume button, the device will boot to bootloader/fastboot mode. Connect to your PC and run RUU.

There is no 1.29.720.11 RUU available at the moment. Unless you have a nandroid backup of your stock ROM and you have the OTA files with you, there is no way to return to Stock for 1.29.720.11 currently.

Ya.. I know, HTC's instructions always misleading, like when to unlock bootloader, it says to remove the battery...

[Q] Need RUU help to restore back to Stock

Before I start, , I want to say that I have read other similar posts and not found an answer to my query.
First, I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful stuff you guys do on these forums. I have used your expertise for many previous issues that I have had in the past. I cherish my Androids a lot more now thanks to you guys.Now, onto the problem that I am currently having. I will try to make it short.
SHORT VERSION:
I need help to unroot the phone and I can't get the "correct" RUU to work.
LONG VERSION:
I rooted my phone and installed Android Revolution HD for ICS. After a while, I decided to upgrade to JB via CM10.
At first, the WiFi would start giving me problems, it would get stuck at "on and never going off" or "off and never turning on." So I remedied that by just restarting the One X which was fine. Then the screen started to act up. Whenever I restart my phone the screen would work just fine. I would put it down for a while, but whenever the screen goes off, it responds slower and slower until the display no longer turns on. However, the phone still works as if it was on via the touchscreen. I can still open apps, just as long as I can guess where to go.
This left me with two thoughts:
1.) The screen is not broken because on restarts, or before it blacks out completely, the screen is just fine. No dead pixels, no lines, no light bleeding to anything.
2.) The OS (I think) is not broken because it always responds to what I am doing.
Therefore I think there exists a problem between the hardware trying trying to communicate with the screen. So I want to return the phone back to the manufacturer.
I have looked on other forums and I am here to ask for help. I can't find a way to solve my problem.
When I try to unroot, I get stuck at the RUU portion. And I honestly think I am using the correct RUU. As you guys know, I need to put the phone back to its original everything to get a chance for the manufacturer to help me out.
So please! Help me with the unroot!
On a side note: the phone works perfect when it is charging AND with the screen on. Don't know why.
This is my phones info from the HBOOT screen:
HBOOT-0.94.0000

For those that are wondering, this is the RUU that I used.
Endeavor/RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_HK_1.26.708.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251215_signed.exe
Maybe that was the issue, I don't know. There are 4 HK (Hong Kong) RUUs if I'm not mistaken.
I look forward to your help and response!
Once again, thanks for all the helpful tips/tricks/flashes and roms.
Gratefully,
johnchiu
Oke are you familiar with the fastboot commands ?
Do these 2 commands with the phone in fastboot usb mode !
Fastboot getvar version-main
and
Fastboot oem readcid
To get the right info for the ruu you need !
Try this one:
http://htcruu.com/securekey.php?fil...Radio_2.1204.122.17_release_268338_signed.exe
Although, I thought the 2.17 was available, that one should install on your hboot.
You'll need to do:
fastboot oem lock
Then run the RUU as administrator (right click it).
So when I did the "fastboot oem lock" whenever I go back to the hboot, on top it says that my phone has been "***RELOCKED***"
I remember before I unlocked the phone it said ***LOCKED*** so if it now says ***RELOCKED*** and I want to ship it in for repairs...wouldn't that be a red flag that I tampered with the phone?
Also, I have SuperUser installed on the phone, how do I get rid of it? Because I think that looks awfully suspicious too haha.
I am downloading the RUU right now, hopefully it works, I will let you know how it goes. Thanks @BenPope
Your bootloader will always say that its been relocked after you unlocked it, can't do anything about that ! And the RUU will flash a stock rom, stock recovery and the stock boot.img back. So all traces of previous root is gone !
So what should I do to make my phone as close to it was first coming out of the box.
For example, I really want to get rid of SuperUser but I don't know how to.
How do I check if everything is stock? Etc.
Thanks again for your help!
Just run the ruu and everything is stock !!! Can't get closer to stock than that !
A ruu wipes the phone 100%
I tried it again...and it failed again. I don't know what to do.
Every RUU that I have tried to install so far all say:
ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
How is it possible that every version fails? Please help!
Hmm do the fastboot commands i posted in the beginning of the thread, the cid and main version commands ..... See whats comes out ?

There is the bug ! You need at least a 2.17 based RUU ! But i dont where to find it at the moment
Are there no ways around it? I can't be the only person with this problem can I? I purchased this phone back in May 2012. So my phone was one of the original units sent out. Thanks for your rapid response and time.
Maybe there is one at the file factory but i dont have an account there

That's odd.
You have the European version-main and a Hong Kong CID.
You might want to look for a backup of a HK ROM to restore.

so you have fastboot up and running, if you give the fastboot command
fastboot devices
it gives a serial back in the command window ? (your bootloader says fastboot usb, so i guess it should be fine)
how did you execute the RUU, did you execute the RUU with admin rights (right click the ruu.exe and select run with admin rights)

the only thing i noticed that radio its diffident in ruu then in bootloader. and im using Windows 7 and when im in fastboot windows see phone as fastboot.
The main version matches so that should be fine. What you can try is this :
Flash the stock recovery 1.28 and the stock boot.img back first. Then relock the bootloader and run the ruu again.

[Q] How to upgrade firmware/hboot [linux]

Hi, I'm trying to install cm10.1-RC5 from Arch Linux. I've wiped and factory reset and flashed the boot.img. I don't have s-off.
When I try to install the .zip in ClockworkMod 5.8.4.0 I get errors indicating that my bootloader isn't a compatible version. For example:
assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1.31.0000"
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10.1.0-RC5-endeavoru.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I gather that this means my hboot or firmware needs an update. I've found this thread which seems relevant:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241419
I ran "fastboot oem readcid" and got this:
...
(bootloader) DEBUG: cid: VODAP021
OKAY [ 4.075s]
finished. total time: 4.075s
So I guess this means I need Vodaphone specific firmware? Where can I access this?
Or am I on the wrong track?
Post the result of fastboot getvar version-main..
This is a cmd fastboot command (windows)... No idea what's the command for Linux.. Might be something similar..
This way we can make sure which firmware you have...

Thanks for the quick reply, here's the output:
version-main: 1.29.862.11
finished. total time: 4.069s
I've located this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376&highlight=upgrade+firmware+linux
This pointed me to .zip containing hboot 1.36.
I tried following these instructions:
http://sadevil.org/blog/2012/12/23/manually-flashing-an-ota-update/
Unfortunately the directories the tutorial references are different to the one in my .zip.
Now there are 2 ways you can upgrade your device's hboot
1: Returning to stock with a ruu and then updating to jellybean hboot with ota update.
2. Flashing the firmware zip and then installing a custom rom.
For running a ruu you will need access to a windows pc since it's an exe file : http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...11-radio-1120410514-release-260561-signedexe/
If you want to upgrade your firmware by flashing... Here's the firmware upgrade for your cid : http://goo.gl/yAa0G
Download the firmware and rename it to firmware.zip and then put it in the fastboot folder..
Steps:
1. Relock bootloader : fastboot oem lock
2. Reboot to ruu : fastboot oem rebootRUU
It will take you to a black htc screen... Wait for a few seconds for the screen to settle down and then flash the firmware :
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
You might need to flash the firmware twice if you get an error the first time! Its quite normal! After successfully flashing the firmware, you need to unlock the Bootloader, flash a custom recovery and then flash the custom rom!
PS: Again, the commands are for fastboot cmd (windows).. Linux might be a little different..
