Hey guys,
I have an HTC__044 device which is unlocked and running a custom ROM with a custom boot.img. I am wanting to restore the phone to stock ROM so I can download the JellyBean OTA.
I've seen the procedure for returning to stock RUU, but I am not sure on the procedure for when you have a full Nandroid backup of your stock ROM.
Could someone please clarify?
I understand it to be as follows:
1. Boot in to recovery and restore Nandroid backup of original ROM
2. Flash stock boot.img extracted from RUU via fastboot (or boot.img from backup directory on SD card)
3. Flash stock recovery via fastboot (or recovery.img from backup directory on SD card)
4. relock bootloader via fastboot
5. Reboot phone and stock ROM will be recovered
6. Download and install OTA.
Have I missed anything? Do you really need to flash back to stock recovery? I don't really see the point of doing that?
Thanks

U can try to relocked your bootloader and flashed the RUU for your device to return back to stock and waiting for JB updates.

Yeah, looks good to me.
You don't need to relock it if you're just going to apply the OTA.
To apply OTA, you need stock recovery.
Oh really? Cool!!
So I can just recover the NANDROID backup, and flash the boot.img then check it boots. then flash the stock recovery and download the OTA without re-locking?
I thought you had to lock the bootloader to get OTA updates as unlocked bootloader sets the CID to none, so no OTAs are detected, no?

I've never tried it, but as far as I know, you don't need to lock it, updates are based on IMEI, not CID, and although CID can show as all 1s in some places, fastboot oem readcid should return the correct one.
However it takes about 5 seconds to lock it and just a few more to unlock it, so... Your choice.
If you have the Stock RUU your device shipped with, just go in fastboot, connect to pc and run the RUU.exe.
If not, the steps in first post looks like a good route to flash back to your original ROM.
In my case it was shorter:
1. Restore nandroid backup (of the original ROM, did after root).
2. Fastboot oem lock
3. Run RUU
That's all.
You can try this too.

Well, the OP didn't ask for the RUU method and said he was aware of it.
What's wrong with:
fastboot oem lock
Run RUU

Before you do anything, the best thing to do is to check again what is the actual software version no.
Go to fastboot and type below command
fastboot getvar version-main
Tell us the no. written there
Then we talk about getting your ROM back to stock

Yours is same as mine, CID HTC__044 and 3.14.707.24
When reading your thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055377 I'm a little bit puzzled on why do you want to revert to stock as your device is already on JellyBean and there is no further OTA at the moment.
Here are three scenario that you may need to choose.
1) You just want to revert to stock ROM but you still need to root it.
a. Flash the stock boot.img attached here (That's the stock boot.img for 3.14.707.24)
b. Restore your nandroid backup
c. Reboot.. you are done .. you will have stock ROM but still on custom recovery in case you still need to play around like rooting the stock ROM or whatever you want to do.
2) You want to revert to stock ROM with everything complete stock with your nandroid backup.
a. Flash the attached stock boot.img
b. Restore your nandroid backup
c. Reboot to bootloader again
d. Flash the attached stock recovery.img (That's the stock recovery.img for 3.14.707.24)
e. Relock your bootloader with command "fastboot oem lock"
f. Reboot your device.. you are done.
3) You want to revert to stock with a RUU.
a) Download RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.24_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed.exe from various site that you can it this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604 or you can download from where that I uploaded one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34971176&postcount=2487
b) Put your device in fastboot mode and relock your bootloader with command "fastboot oem lock"
c) In fastboot mode too, run the RUU and follow the updater instruction - next- next-update-blablabla until it finish
d) Complete the setup wizard, you are done.

You have to flash the stock recovery.....the nandroid is taken with a custom recovery so the stock recovery is not included in the nandroid .... therefore you need the stock one :thumbup:
This is the 3.14 stock recovery

Mate... I even attached the stock recovery and stock boot.img for him above. I don't know whether he really read those I wrote.
So Jimmy, if you want automatic update like the stock ROM as you said; read again item 2 or item 3.

So i was running a 4.0 custom rom (skydragon) and was looking to go to stock 4.1 then custom rom from there. i cant find too much about the optus001 branded one x but found what i thought to be a correct method
Downloaded a nandroid backup - Stock JB Optus Australia 3.14.980.27
boot into bootloader
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot.img
Recovery>nandroid backup current rom
Nandroid restore downloaded backup
fastboot flash recovery (stock recovery)
wipe user data/cache/dalvik cache
after doing all this im given a bootloop and im not sure where to go from here. ive flashed many phones successfully with minimal issues but im kinda lost here and ive been reading through forums trying to work out where i went wrong
So im wondering if i should download the RUU and do it that way but then my problem is the site that people have linked for the standard RUU just doesnt work (http://htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor) it wont load at all.
any ideas where i went wrong and what i can do to rectify this (other than a nandroid restore of my current custom rom)

while ur around, how do i go about flashing from stock 4.1 to custom 4.1. im guessing its not that difficult anymore being that the hboot gets updated with the OTA update. i would figure its like flashing a rom before hand.

Ok, so I have spent the last few days messing around with trying to update my version of renovate, I have managed to get everything working rom loaded custom recovery flashed, New Optus OTA installed. But it won't let me update the bootloader no matter what I do, I thought the stock 1.29 RUU should do that, but neither that or the OTA updated Hboot. So I tried the JBFW flasher tool, that gives an error of 42 custom id fail.... Even with a stock recovery,rom and kernel...
I'm lost, I have run out of threads to read, this thread seems the most related to my phone/issue.
What do you guys think?
I'm on 0.95 Hboot, 4.0.3 ICS, 1.29 Optus 001.

I already have that Ruu and have done that like 20 times Is the Silver HTC screen still part of the boot loader, I'm guessing so?
just got a used htc one x optus branded australia, on cid optus001, hboot 0.95.000.
Its currently on ICS and want to update to JB. There is an Optus update to JB available but didnt want to update just in case i needed to be on a lower hbot for some reason
anyway i have read and read and read but its a bit overwhelming. I have rooted and installed cwm and want to flash ARHD Rom.
Here is the question:
THere seem to be a lot of issues with CID, im on CID: Optus001.
Can i just update to the official Optus JB Rom via OTA, then flash ARHD via recovery? or have i missed something?
any help in the right direction is appreciated
Yes if you want to run the latest JB roms you need to update your hboot first ! Is the phone full stock atm ?
You need to be on stock rom, kernel and recovery to be able to update. So if you are, please update.
After you updated you flash a custom recovery and make a NANDROID BACKUP of the stock rom (you need it to be able to update in the future)
Then you can install any rom out here

Yes im on full stock ICS, but custom recovery, can i update now to stock JB and i suppose it will update the hboot too?
If i can flash any rom i want whats the big deal about correct cid?
You need to flash back the stock recovery first. A custom rom is not related to any cid. That's why you can use them all
What's your main version number
Fastboot getvar version-main
I can provide you the stock recovery when i have that number.
Or look in the settings menu - about for the info i need.
It probably starts with 1.28.***.** or 1.29.***.**

If the rest is full stock it should all go well
great thanks but now i have no wifi and no phone signal when i installed ARHD
Ill search and see what i can find
You updated the phone to JB ? Flashed back a custom recovery ? Made a nandoid backup of the stock rom ?
When you installed the new rom, did you perform a full wipe before installing it ? And did you flash the boot.img from the new rom ?
worked when flashing the boot.img
thanks once again, now just cant get bloody MMS texts to work even though i have input teh correct apn settings
thanks once again
Hmm don't know much about mms on that rom, i never used the rom and also never used mms
Hi guys.
Finally today I receive the OTA upgrade to JB. First an smal upgrade was succesfully downloaded and installed, and then the firmware to upgrade the phone to JB (I had 4.03 custom rom).
After the phone install the JB upgrade the phone stuck on the HTC ONE white screen
I had a backup on the SD that let me recover the phone, I try to install the upgrade again, with the same luck. I read a post that said that erasing the SD will resolve the issue, and I have no better idea than do it!!! (yeah... really!!)
I read several post all day on XDA, I try to flash again the boot and ROM with the upgrade that I save on my PC, and with a Backup via
fastboot. But nothing work (I dont know if I did it right). I cant see the SD on fastboot, already try a factory reset, when I go to the recovery option on fastboot the phone just rebooted with no options.
My CID is BSTAR301

u say you are on a custom rom, But you tried to update OTA?
Restore phone to complete stock ( even recovery) then you can update.
you could use an RUU or maybe a nandroid

Sorry, I mean I had the ORIGINAL ROM (4.03), the only change that I made was root the phone.
My CID is BSTAR301, I only have the backup files that I copy to my pc and the OTA upgrade that the phone download. I attach the images of the files that I have.
Could you please tell me how to restore it to complete stock with the commands? which files should I use?
Thanks for you help.

I assume that you first installed CWM or TWRP recovery to root your HOX, and if you make backup of your recovery this is CWM or TWRP recovery.img, not stock recovery.img that is came with phone because you reflashed original one with TWRP or CWM and official ROM need official recovery.img. I hope that you make nandroid backup before root with TWRP or CWM because is it "must to do" in every installation guide. If so, when you wanted to update via OTA for official JB you needed to:
1. reverse to stock software (for you, you needed only to unroot or use nandroid backup if you have yours, if not try to find one in xda one x forum matching your current CID and main-version)
2. reverse to stock recovery.img that is matching your CID (exact matching) (you need to find it on xda one x forum section) - i see that you have firmware folder but dont know is it from your backup or from OTA, if it is from OTA than you can use recovery.img from that folder to flash stock recovery.img via fastboot commands (only recovery.img)
3. then you can do official JB update via OTA
And then if you have need to custom ROM you need flash again CWM or TWRP recovery.img
Also you can get full stock with RUU but RUU must fully match your CID and main version, but RUU isn't available for every phone version, and after RUU you can do officall OTA JB update (for RUU you need to lock bootloader)
Information that can help us is yours phone current main version (fastboot getvar version-main)

Now my phone show me a message to install the OTA to 4.1.1, but when I select install the phone make a reboot and show me CWM recovery with the message:
Finding update package...
E:unknown volume for path [INTERNALSDCARDownload/OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_S_BSTR_ESN_3.14.515.36-2.17.515.1....
E:Can't mount INTERNALSDCARD...
Installation aborted.
Why the phone can't mount the SD?
You need a stock recovery. Do :
Fastboot getvar version-main
And post the outcome !
Edit :
4.0.4 software....you need this recovery and then install the ota again

This is the result:
C:\CustomRUU>Fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 3.14.515.36
So... I just need to install the recovery that you send me, reboot and try to install the OTA?

THANKS HOFS!!!

You have no idea how much appreciate your help!
Thank you!!!!
Hello,
need the boot.img for H3g__001 JB (3.14.771.34) I've found the backup but I want it know and I can't wait until the download finished
the second thing: what's the best way to root this device with this CID ?
thank's
Useless, wait for the download to finish. Only the boot.img is pretty much useless without the matching stock modules that are backed up in the nandroid.
How to root ?
Install the SU.zip in recovery and reboot.
I assume you are already unlocked and running a custom rom and want to return to stock because you are downloading a nandroid backup.

you're sure that we can run custom rom with this CID H3G__001 ?
How far are you anyway and why are you downloading a nandroid backup ?
And yes any hox and any cid can run a custom rom, custom roms are not cid dependant !
But please give me more info on your status so i can understand it all better

there's three or four months we could not run custom rom with the stock CID, and when I've tried to run custom with H3G CID the device sucked on htc logo until I've download the nandroid backup to reinstall it with recovery
so if know it's possible can you show me the best way to root it ?
Thank's
I think you are talking about JB roms only. Before that you could install custom roms....only ICS ones because the official JB wasn't released at that time.
Give me your exact true main version number
Fastboot getvar version-main
Post the outcome here please. And did you already install a custom recovery ?

I just installed CWM with root
Then you can install any rom from this hox section.
1: make a nandroid backup backup of the stock rom and keep it safe
2: flash the boot.img from the new rom
3: make a full wipe in the recovery
4: install the new rom via the recovery
5: reboot

That seems to be as a JB firmware... so I'm sure you can install any custom roms out here..
After flashing the custom recovery, you need to install the superSU.zip file from recovery : http://d-h.st/kG0
By doing this you will get full root access!
However, if your going to install a custom rom, you don't need to root, just unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery, flash boot.img via fastboot, head over to recovery and wipe everything (Data/cache/dalvic) and format /system... and then install the rom.zip!
Ok thank you very much
