Have got a sim-free OX from CPW with a CID of HTC_001.
Have changed the HBOOT to 1.28, unlocked the bootloader, installed CWM and finally instlled Maximus v5.
Only one thing wrong, i've noticed a slight gap at the edge of the screen and have been told to take it back,
Can someone please enlighten me on how to get this back to stock and unroot it (have worked out how to relock the bootloader)
I did relocking the booatloader and then running the relevant RUU but kept getting the 140 error message.
Any help would be fantastic. (that and simple commands)
You can't as there isn't an RUU for the JB ROM yet. Should come soon, though, so just wait until then

Has anyone ever seen this? Got this phone cheap and would like to fix it.
Can't get into bootloader, just goes to this screen and keeps rebooting ever so often.
Cheers for any help
Ok an update, it seems the volume- button is broken but back key + power worked and I got into the boot menu. Here's a pic.
Where should I go from here?
Is there a way of knowing if the phone is branded and what brand or unlocked so I can try flashing a WWE RUU?
Ok so the phone is branded T Mobile since a Tmob RUU worked just fine but with WWE ROMs I get a CID mismatch.
Made a goldcard with 2 sd cards but it doesn't work since I get a CID error mismatch again.
I should mention that after a T Mobile RUU flash that phone was still getting stuck on that same screen in post 1.
I've tried several things but still no luck with getting anywhere.
Thoughts?
EDIT: Made a successful goldcard using a different method and was able to flash the latest WWE RUU but the phone is still stuck on boot, the difference is that now it's the white screen with HTC in the middle.
So the phone doesn't even get into boot.
Can somebody help me with this??
Ruu really should Fix it. If it doesn't, first port of call should be warranty. Does ruu give no error?

As I've mentioned, I got this phone for cheap so no warranty.
Nope, no errors with goldcard. Also I should mention I can't get into recovery, it just goes back into boot loop.
I suspect some partition somewhere must be corrupted.
If the phone had S-OFF it would make things so much easier.
Ok so an update, for anyone who runs into this problem.
After trying basically everything (even trying to unlock bootloader with a HTC Unlocker device with no success, probably due to action key not working) I was going to go and try to unlock the official way.
To unlock the official way I had to update the ROM so I just used the latest update which is 2.3.3 and after flashing I was finally able to boot!! So it seems like the problem was not hardware related at all.
Next I used Revolutionary to S-OFF, flashed CWM Touch and used root.zip for root access. Now I'm happy I got it all going and it's time for a sandwich, the ice cream variant
Peace!
Hi,
Im trying to restore my phone to stock, I am currently on ARHD rom and the phone is an Optus branded phone. I have flashed the stock recovery back on and re-locked the bootloader. I then ran the Optus RUU and it got to a screen on the phone saying HTC and the PC said Sending.. After about a minute it gave an error saying the RUU could not be installed.
Any idea on what I can do to fix it?
What was the exact error? If you've updated your bootloader then you won't be able to go back

You won't be able to run the RUU because if you have updated your Optus ROM from 1.26.980.3 t01.28.980.10 the HBOOT and in the RUU is .43 compared to the updated one which is .94 in which case will give you an error. You can't downgrade the HBOOT.
You can do 2 things:
!. wait for the 1.28.980.10 RUU to come out
or
2. if you made a backup of your ROM before flashing ARHD, restore that and then flash stock recovery and then re-lock the phone.
Same here but I'm on H3G UK of course updated 1.28.... But if I seen right now available on HTC.dev the 1.28 and many others have been uploaded

Hello chaps
Im a bit confused so im posting this in the hope that you fellas more experienced than me could maybe shed some light on my situation.
I have unlocked bootloader and custom recovery at moment and i have decided that although ICS is cool i want to flash some custom roms, so i decided to get my cid and check stock firmware to download appropriate ones in case i need them for serious recovering of the phone.
The problem is s-on, im aware that the rom has to match the cid and unlike my sensation xe i cant at present get supercid, however i was happy to see that cidgetter reported in the top left corner my cid was HTC__001.
Happy days, or so i thought, because my phone was an orange branded phone, unlocked, i assumed it would actually be an orange uk firmware i needed.
2 days later im struggling, so far ive attempted to install the following -
Orange Uk branded Ruu
HTC Europe (HTC_001) RUU
H3g UK RUU as im actually on 3 network
Nothing is working, so i reloaded cidgetter and examined the prop more closely, where i found a few instances of "WWE" which i see is actually ASIA, so i thought id try a ASIA rom, alas still nothing, it will not install.
What am i doing wrong, ive tried installing these htc roms on both custom and stock recovery, usb debugging is also on, everything checks out but i cannot get an RUU to install on my phone, having tried Europe, Asia and Uk im left wondering which RUU i do actually need to recover my phone in case of disasters, 2 days and my head is puddled with it all, i dont want to start customizing my phone until i know for sure that i can recover it.
Im not convinced that cidgetter is fully accurate, why would it report htc 001 or WWE when it was an orange uk phone, i have noticed theres also loads of info in there about carriers in italy, spain, germany and frankly, all over the world, but no indication whatsoever as to what the correct RRU recovery for the device would be.
P L E A S E H E L P
Because im ready to scream, there must be a way to determine what i need and i cant be bothered downloading every rru on filefactory because the site is so damn slow, takes an hour and half just get 1 of them.
Unless anyone has any links to a better server where they are stored like HTC maybe.
As a newbie to the htc im crying out for help here, and feedback would be most welcome and extremely appreciated.
Thanks.

Did the phone have Orange branding/apps on it when you turned it on? If not, you have an unbranded handset so the x.xx.401.x RUUs are the only ones you need
Download the 1.29.401.7 RUU from the mirrors in the Shipped-ROMs thread
Why do you need it anyway? If the phone works then the only reason you need it is to revert to stock if you're sending it to HTC.
As a side note best way to flash them is:
1. Boot phone into HBOOT
2. Switch to FASTBOOT
3. Connect to PC
4. Run RUU
Thanks Eddy, top man
Its not that i want to use it, as i said its just in case of any mjor issue like soft brick or something whilst flashing a custom, just playing safe.
I think i have a feeling it could be my unlocked bootloader, i cant help thinking i may need to relock it to flash an RRu
Also correct, although my phone is orange originally, there is no orange logo on it and no orange related software on it, so im assuming you are correct in your findings and i shall give it a go.
Thanks button clicked, chhers for the info.
Yes, you need to relock the bootloader to flash an RUU on the One X
To confirm, when you first got the phone were there any Orange logos/apps on it when turning it on? If not, then you are unbranded
Update....
Relocked bootloader and followed your instruction
Got a bit further this time, it failed again this time at updating signature, the error report was -
Error 140 - bootloader version.
So i dont know what that error means exactlt but im still baffled by it, it wont flash the 401 rom either.
ok so this is what info i have -
Main cid - htc__001
endeavor_u_ics_40
ro.aa.rid - 1467
skulist - 401
bootloader - 0.94.0000
ro.carrier - WWE
ro.cid - HTC__001
Can anyone shed any light on exactly what RUU i need???
Speaking of the whole s-on issue, is there no way to firstly backup the build.prop and then manually text edit the cid to alter it?
This may result in brick is my only concern.
Hi there.
I'm new to the forum but have lurked and used some of the great information and tools that are available here.
So firstly, thank you.
Now.
I bought my One X in China (Where I live), in around August. It seems as though the one I got isn't a regular One X and because of that I'm having some problems.
A month and a half or so ago I installed an AOKP Rom which I've had some pretty intense bugs with, such as the the phone restarting whenever I toggle WiFi on or off. Because of that, I finally attempted to return to stock today. After a while, I found some success. I restored my nandroid backup, reflashed the stock recovery and relocked the bootloader. Happy that I was back to normal, I went to download the Jelly Bean OTA update, but kept having errors when doing so. (The green bar would reach about 1/3 of the way and then a red triangle showed up.) I've tried to troubleshoot and in doing so have found out that my CID is "11111111", so I have no idea what to make of it. All i could find was that this is some kind of superCID, but if it's preventing me from installing an OTA update then how do I go around this?
Is it possible to change my CID to something more accessible? This is the international Tegra 3 model by the way.
Additionally, the HBOOT screen shows that my phone is "ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-OFF RL". Is this normal?
Any answers would be extremely appreciated. Thank you.
You're really lucky actually, because a lot of people want exactly your phone - SuperCID and S-OFF. You cannot flash OTAs on a SuperCID phone iirc, but you can unlock the bootloader and flash something else
Hi, there are fastboot commands to change your cid if you are s-off but I am not sure why you would want to.
With s-off you can just go and flash the 1.39 hboot from mikes thread (link from his arhd thread OP)
I have same setup as you and have been wondering what actually is stock for me if I ever needed it. I don't have a nandroid from when I got the phone and I guess that s-off and super cid means I could pick any one ? But which.

Thanks for the replies. I guess i have a better understanding now of what these things all mean.
So I gather if I want to get the stock Jellybean ROM I have to flash it myself?
Eh, that's kind of a pain but I guess it's not too bad. Do I go about it in the same way that anyone else would or will there be a variation based on the situation of my phone?
Thanks
I reckon someone with an s-on would gladly swop with you if its a pain you have the most flexibility as it is.
Flash whichever update you like without worrying about the cid matching. That's the magic of super cid. Then because you are s-off you also have the option to downgrade if that ever took your fancy.
There are many guides on how to do this written far better than I could so just search the forum.
Enjoy

I see.
I've had a look around and I'm still a little confused to be honest.
Because I'm S-Off and have SuperCID, does that mean I can just choose a Jellybean OTA Update, download it, install it and upgrade the HBOOT?
Everything will be the same as if I upgraded OTA?
Sorry for being so useless.
Don't hang me for this info, see it more as a pointer to more info to search on
What i have read before is that you can write yourself a CID and update the hboot with a firmware from that CID. then you can run any software out there......
Do not run a ruu, it might mess up your s-off to s-on
When I get to my pc I will write up what I did with a link.
I did as Mr Hofs said but I did not need to change my cid from super to do it.
I have never tried an ruu.

Ok so first i read this and watched his youtube vid http://www.flow-wolf.net/2012/10/htc-one-x-perfect-guide-for-beginners.html
Check video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQasxRPopSM he works with an S-Off
I started on HBoot 1.12 i believe
Then I got my unlock token handy (one from htcdev) and made sure fastboot working etc
Then did a nandroid (which i subsequently deleted but hey i tried to do the right thing )
Then I got the latest firmware for HBoot 1.39 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376 I downloaded the first 1.39 for WWE (x.xx.401.x - World Wide English (WWE))
No need to change your CID. Super CID works with any of them.
Now I just followed the usual steps explained many times here to flash the firmware.
You need to put the stock recovery back on. I got mine from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970&highlight=htc+one+x+*stock* EDIT: dont think you need this step actually -will let one of the pro's confirm.
Then relock bootloader and reboot in RUU and flash the firmware.
When done unlock bootloader again, flash custom recovery and flash a ROM. You can skip the extra step of flashing the boot.img as with S-Off your custom recovery can do it.
As mentioned by Mr Hofs I have no idea what an RUU would do to S-Off, Ive never tried.
Good luck.
Hi all
Im unbranding my O2 UK locked M8 to an unbranded UK one (with offical Htc 501 rom), so Ive done quite alot of reading around and followed guides
- Ive SIM Unlocked my device
- Ive successfully unlocked bootloader through HTCDev using Adb
- Ive installed and am running TWRP 2840
- Ive rooted with SuperSU
From what ive read.. AM I Right in thinking the next steps are:
S-Off and SuperCID with Sunshine (Firewater is no more)
Install Stock 1.54.401.10 through TWRP
Install Stock Recovery
Reboot
UPdate OTA to 501.
Any advice guides or help will be greatly appeciated.
Cheers all
1. S-OFF
2. Change CID to HTC__001
3. Flash 4.16.401.10 RUU
4. Done, no more o2 gumpf!
Thanks for the guide, I installed Sunshine 284 (latest, but it says that its not compatible with my device yet and theyre working on it,
My device is running LP 501 from O2, so maybe I need to wait for SDunshine 3.
Oh well
Ive done a factory reset and Ill just use the phone until SS 3 comes out.. or is there another way to S-Off from LP 501.
What effect will Factory reseting at this point have have...
I can still see SuperSU in my apps, but Sunshine app has gone..
I also assume the bootloader unlock is a permanent thing, so I just pickup where i left off ...
S-Off
If you're on 5.0 now then you'll have to wait for SS to be updated, hopefully it won't be too long! A factory reset now will just reset the phone, nothing else. And yes, bootloader will remain unlocked unless you lock it again

Cheers. I did try the last firewater update, but adb reboot, just restarts the phone. I was thinking of manually getting into fastboot then taking it from there, but didnt want to chance a brick
Ill just wait for SS 3
Do you know.. since rooting und unlocking the M8... its running better than it was, faster and smoother...
