[Q]To reflash stock recovery and relock bootloader

So, the RUU for my device is not yet available, but i had a nandroid backup of stock rom after i installed CWM and unlocked bootloader.
Now I can simply flash stock recovery and relock bootloader without any issues right?

Because of s-on I would flash stock boot.IMG from fastboot also the recovery IMG in your back up will be cwm so you will need to download that as well.
And while we are here make sure you have enough change :/

[Q] Having problem with JB OTA on HTC__044

Hi guys,
So here is the deal, i had my one x rooted but on stock Rom on 4.0.4 and once the OTA for 4.1.1 rolled out, first it gave me 1.6 mb file update which brought me to 3.14.707.24 but still on 4.0.4. so then i flashed the stock recovery, and ran the OTA to update, it just went to the recovery screen but after few seconds restarted the device and formatted everything including the SD card partition. so i came here and saw that i should flash a firmware.zip in RUU boot, which i did.(after relocking the bootloader) but now it is stuck on the HTC ONE logo and never boots.
I tried unlocking-relocking the bootloader, flash custom recovery, erased the cache etc etc. nothing works. and i have lost my nandroid backups bcoz of sd wipe...
now if anyone can tell me what to do it'd be great, or if you hav a nandroid backup of 3.14.707.24 just share it with me.
i'm desperate here :crying: please help

Try to RUU your phone to the version that it has before you flashed the OTA, make sure that its the correct region for your CID. But, I doubt that it will work as it will already be considered "downgrading" which you cannot do on S-ON HOX, as of now.
if you can still unlock the bootloader, there maybe is still a way. You will need to have someone with the same version with your phone after flashing the small OTA. Ask that person to do a system dump, and make it a flashable zip. Upload his/her boot.img and also maybe stock recovery. Flash it to yours.
Or why not try custom rom?
Hopefully that will help your phone get up again then OTA to JB.
Just thinking out loud and hopefully be able to help.

Firstly, did you try "fastboot erase cache"?
If so.....
"Fastboot getvar main-version" to see what version RUU you need.
If it's 2.17, just run the RUU.
If it's above 2.17, unlock your bootloader, flash the correct firmware zip for your phone, flash a custom recovery, mount USB and upload a JB rom. Install the ROM and then install the boot.img via fastboot and you should be good to go again.

The 044 RUU for 2.17 does not seem to work, so what I did was download a nandroid of stock 044 CID ROM, restore that, flash stock recovery and you'll get the update for JB. I'm on 044 too.

Bootloop and changing CID issues

Well I tried custom firmware after successfully unlocking my HTC One X. It says Unlocked but S-ON so not sure whats going on there? But since S-On I cannot change the CID as get the error (status read failed (too many links)) MY CID is H3G_001 and since I rooted my phone refuses to let me upgrade to OTA Jellybean which is frustrating forcing custom firmware.
Without updating CID I got stuck in a bootloop at least I guess it was as it was just stuck on the quitely brilliant screen for 20 minutes before I shut it off and tried another firmware which did the same. I am now in the process of a Nandroid recovery so I can at least use the phone. Three have a ton of bloatware which sucks. But I gotta stick with it as cannot figure out why it wont let me flash.. All help is appreciated. This phone is alot harder to flash than my HTC Desire which was a breeze.

you cannot s-off the one x, all you have done is unlock the bootloader which will allow you to flash clockwork recovery and flash su etc.

Unlocked s-on is normal.
Unlocking has nothing to do with s-off
At present there is no way to change your cid.
2x errors have occurred here
Ota updates fail after rooting if you leave the custom recovery on there.
You needed to unlock. Flash or boot custom recovery.
Flash supersu binaries
Flash stock recovery
Then boot ROM.
That way it would have been rooted and still allow ota updates.
You have made things worse by flashing the firmware.zip
By flashing the firmware you have updated your hboot. Probably to 1.36
Which will no longer work for the ICS ROM that is on your phone.
You need to find a nandroid backup for jellybean for your cid.
Just switching to PC to find you some links
ok looked more into it
you should still be able to boot after restoring your nandroid.
dont forget to pull the boot.img from your backup and reflash it as flashing the firmware will have put the JB boot.img on
you will want to restore the stock recovery which you can find in the firmware.zip once you have restored your backup
reboot into your rom and do the OTA that way

I restored from my nandroid and its working fine, all back to 4.0.4 with the phone unlocked I used CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip when i rooted my phone (or at least im sure I did as I did root over 6 months ago now).
So how would I go about updating to a custom firmware then?? Instead of the OTA as would prefer to get rid of the bloatware as half the apps aren't even English..

If you want a custom ROM
Try looking at something like latest android revolution HD
Very similar to stock but no bloat.

Okay thanks for that but how do I get it to work with my CID is what I would like to know do I have to first get OTA jellybean working then a custom firmware to update the CID? It seems a little confusing.. I listed my CID in first post but like I also said all custom firmwares I tried Viper X 3.3.4 and skydragon both left me with a phone stuck on boot screen for 20 minutes until i gave up and just turned off.

Your cid is irrelevant for anything except going to stock.
Custom ROMs arnt dependent on cid.
But they are dependent on hboot versions.
Cm10 ROMs will not work on any hboot>1.12
Any sense jellybean ROMs or ROMs with 3.1 kernels need a hboot version of at least 1.23
Couldn't saw viperx ROM but dragon is based on 3.17 so your hboot has to be minimum of 1.23
After installing the custom ROM you did flash the boot.IMG in fastboot didn't you?

where i get the boot.img? I think i may have missed that part *duh* OKAY nm found that hboot is 1.12 need to update... Updating the Hboot means I have to go back to stock right? Then update OTA to get Hboot update then I can get JB..

You need a stock boot.img, stock recovery and a stock ICS Rom. Then you will get OTA to JB, upgrading that way your hboot. Then you can flash any custom JB Rom.
P.s. The correct boot.img is in the rom's zip folder. Every time you change the rom you should flash the proper boot.img.

Yeah problem is I need RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_H3G_UK_2.17.771.3 to go back to stock and it doesn't exist.. Anyway around the RUU exe ?
EDIT NM found I can use the nandroid method.. Giving it a shot now.

Go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
And download your matching nandroid ! Restore it including flashing the boot.img from the nandroid. After that you flash this recovery back
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
And you are on stock again. And also able to update to JB

That did NOT work I got back to stock but without the RUU exe file it seems it will not install I loveked my phone aswell and when i try to install the OTA update i just get kicked to bootloader.
Edit didnt see above post sorry

So did it work.....I know my method works !

Sorry yeah it worked Was up till stupidly late trying to do it as I was following another method as I never saw yours (a really old one) Where I locked my phone so had to unlock etc.. Plus download that update OTA each time took 1 hour. I'm now on stock with Hboot 1.39 thankyou so much really appreciate! So now I just reflash recovery yeah? And backup nandroid then go for my custom rom?

Yes exactly !

I now have Android Revolution working perfectly and since I paid for Nova Prime I decided to go for lite after all and removed Sense thank so much for that method so much easier than the guides on here which make it sound so difficult I really was pulling my hair out!

Nice ! Glad it worked :thumbup:

[Q] HTC One X Help Required

hi,
I just want to ask some noob questions, as I don't play around my set so much.
1) First of all, do I have to be on stock recovery to check for updates also ?
2) I rooted my phone using Hasoon's Toolkit and installed TWRP Recovery (didn't install a custom rom yet, on stock 4.1.1), but made a backup before flashing recovery. Do i have to flash stock RUU to come again to stock, or I can flash the backup I made before flashing the recovery ?
3) How i can find my stock RUU, my CID is TMOB_005.
Regards,
Kashif Rafiq

100+ views no reply, no one is ready to help ?
Can anyone with same CID confirm, whether update recieved or not ?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

You can receive OTA updates if you have the following; stock recovery, stock rom, locked or unlocked bootloader.
I don't know where the RUU is for your CID but I'm sure there is a thread with it in somewhere.

Since u haven't flash a custom Rom you are stock, u just need to flash back the stock recovery and wait for tmobile to release the update. No need to relock.

I have downloaded stock recovery for my CID (TMOB-005), will executing these commands in fastboot mode restore stock status
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryfile.img

I have stock 4.1.1 rom already installed.

correct

And just to answer your other question, save the backup you made in twrp onto your computer in case you need it later, this is your nandroid. Then if you install a custom Rom and need to go back to stock at some time you just need to flash the boot.img from your backup and then flash your nandroid in recovery
Now go get the cakes

i've flashed the stock recovery, but after flashing when i try to go into recovery it shows red triangle with exclamation mark
