[q] ruu stock image advice please

Hello all!
I want to get my ONE X back to stock image and I have done some of the research already with the below info
How to : go to bootloader / fastboot mode
(even though some people may not agree with this, but this will bring no harm and it is noob-proof) do this:
1- flash a stock recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
2- flash a stock boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
3- re-lock bootloader
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
4- run/doubleclick RUU and follow instructions.
But could someone explain what RUU i would need for my mobile as I am on O2 mobile and I have the CM rom currently, which i am finding hard to get along with and just want it back to stock.
Could you guys help me with the extra info and downloads I need please!?
Kind regards

use "fastboot getvar main-version" (not sure if syntax is correct) , so you can search for your ruu.
post your hboot,radio versions and handy xda members will be EAGER to help

is your version match with this 1.29.401.7? or try to do it manually. fastboot oem relock then run RUU.

i think there's no flashable RUU. what i did before was i just relock the bootloader then run RUU while phone is in bootloader. didn't encounter any error.

If someone could kindly tell me where I could find the RUU for this (even if older) -- I just want to make it stock for the repair shop.
Thanks~

Thats what I have been doing , I rang repair shop and they said that they would 'unroot ,upgrade firmware and reroot', suppose il see tmro

Disable any virusscanners, re-download the RUU (maybe incomplete), reboot your PC and run the RUU in Administrator mode (if possible)
Make sure you have an stock recovery (of 3.14.401.31) and phone re-locked.
Good luck (it should work for you, looking at your output of "fastboot getvar all" result)

You can goto recovery from hboot, if you just see a red triangle with an exclamation mark above a phone, you have a stock recovery. Else you have to goto the firmware thread, download the proper firmware, unzip it and flash that recovery.img, but you can only do that if you are unlocked, and after that you have to re-lock to run the RUU.

[Q] Stuck in bootloader

Hi all, first time posting here.
I've installed some custom roms whilst I've had this phone so I can follow instructions but I don't really know what I'm doing here. I was on a Sense custom rom and I was trying to revert back to stock and re-lock the bootloader. I looked through a million threads and ended up locking the bootloader - fine. Then I hit Factory Reset on the bootloader for some silly reason, now I am stuck in the bootloader and I can't seem to do anything. The battery is low now, I executed a script I found here through fastboot which seems to restart the phone repeatedly and charge it bit by bit, with the goal of running an RUU. This eventually gets just about high enough to do something if I'm quick.
I tried to run the 3.14.401.31 RUU I found from a source on xda, but it gives me "signature error [132]" after a couple of minutes when running this as admin. fastboot getvar version-main gives 3.14.401.600.
Basically I'm now completely stumped and I was wondering if anyone could provide me with some help? Happy to provide any more info if needed.
Thanks!

post the results of "fastboot getvar all" but delete the imei and serial number before you post it

And flash custom recovery (TWRP/CWM/...) once you get to the battery state where you can flash anything. Once you have custom recovery you can charge your HOX normally.
Code:
[I]fastboot[/I] flash recovery [I]recovery.img[/I]
(change fastboot to fastboot.exe if you're on Windows and change recovery.img to the name of your preferred recovery)

@jacobgaudoin I missed something in your first post sorry, you're version is too new for the ruu you are trying to use so you cannot do it with an ruu. you will have to get a stock nandroid and do it that way. look for your cid and version number here>>>>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140 best to get the version that exactly matches yours and then flash the boot.img from the nandroid and flash the stock recovery which you can get from further down the page, once you done all of the above you will receive OTA's from htc or your carrier that will bring you up to the latest official version available for your cid. oh you must do this with an unlocked bootloader and whichever custom recovery comes with the nandroid

Thanks for all the help guys. I've managed to get back into my recovery and can boot into the rom fine now! I'm now trying the nandroid route, tried downloading the 4.18.401.2 CID HTC__001 from the collections page. I have tried restoring this but it says system restore error. I want to try the other non TWRP backup but it won't seem to download. I will keep exploring...

fastboot oem rebootRUU (i typ at first fastboot oem lock) ther come a blck screen with htc logo...
after this is nothing doing...

You need to flash the boot.img from the arhd rom.zip then install the rom in recovery, oh and as you have 1.72 bootloader you should first install philz touch recovery oot you touchscreen will not work
Press thanks if I helped you. Sent via XDA Premium 4

And dont flash xm 188 it's a sense 4 kernel. Not good in combo with a sense 5 rom.
And stop flashing firmwares, not needed !

Stuck with no OS & no recovery

I Was following the guide > http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/progress-fuu-m8-t2813792 to update my firmware and CID which i successfully did. As per the tutorial, it mentioned that i should copy a ROM on sdcard before procedding. Which i did but amazingly the ARWWizard also flashed my SDCARD (? Not sure but my card was empty).
Anyways, I was able to boot into the OS (old) and i realized i need to install recovery. I issued
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery <recovery_image>
I tried installing TWRP 2.8 but it remains stuck at "Entering Recovery", so i isntalled 2.7 and I was successfully in the recovery. There I wanted to cleaned everything, internal storage, cache, delvik cache etc (not microsd). And went on to menu to install OS from sdcard but it was empty.
I thought lets do the sideload with
Code:
adb sideload rom.zip
and got error Can not read rom.zip.
I changed the location of rom.zip to other location and did adb from that location but still no luck. I was under the impression that since i have installed recovery ... I can reboot ... I tried and now i am stuck at Android Boot loading screen ...
While on that screen, my computer shows that it is trying to install MTP drivers but it fails and hence now i can't use ADB to reboot or do anything.
Any help would be appreciated.

I answered you here!

alright .. after struggling so much i am finally able to have my phone running. But i guess the ARUWizard didn't upgraded the firmware. The reason i am saying this is that I installed Viper4.1 ROM and it clearly stats in their FAQ that my WiFi wouldn't work if i don't have proper firmware.
Looking at this guide I am confused which firmware to install.

If you're using Viper, it's based on 4.16.401.10 so you need this FW package:
4.16.401.10_firmware.zip (rename it firmware.zip - not firmware.zip.zip!)
Flash it in RUU mode using fastboot flash zip firmware.zip. Once you've flashed the package it'll replace TWRP with the stock recovery so download TWRP again and flash when connected in the bootloader with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and you're good to go

Thanks. One question
What do you mean by RUU Mode ? do you mean flashing the firmware like this
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip fimrware.zip
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I really appreciate the help you guys are providing

Very nearly right...
Code:

fastboot flash zip fimrware.zip
[B]fastboot reboot-bootloader[/B]
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
You missed the dash
The firmware flash might need to be done twice. If it says it's failed and reboots the unit, do the same command again to flash it but if it says complete then reboot the bootloader to flash TWRP

Thanks ...
I got it working but now there are two weird issues.
1. My camera doesn't work. Whenever i click on HTC Camera, it shows a black screen (as if camera view is blocked, I can see on screen buttons and options but black background).
2. My phone doesn't recognize the SD Card which i was using before.

Can you post your output from fastboot getvar all (removing your IMEI and serial number) again?

I'm guessing you flashed TWRP again? That explains why the main-version is blank. The rest seems to be in order so not sure what the issue is now

my main version is blank ever since I started upgrading my phone. Even if you look at the posts which posted 3 days before (before upgrading) they all had blank main-version.

True. If you are willing to try putting your phone back to 100% you could use the guide in my signature and then at least you'll be back to a point where it should all work

okay ... from your post it seems like only devices with HTC_* CID's can be restored to stock. Given that I am supercid, I can write whatever CID I Can but my original cid was VODP001. Do i have to worry about that ? Would your method work on my device as well ?

Super CID means you can flash anything so just try it. OK, it'll go back to the unbranded build as opposed to the Vodafone build but that's not a bad thing

Soft Bricked the HTC One M8

HTC One M8
Unlocked and S-off
From UK so with international network
Cyanogenmod 11 i think
Clockwork recovery
Soooo i bought the M8 secondhand with Cyanogenmod installed, however, i couldnt do any updates due to error status 7. i tried the normal fix (delete code which checked authorisation of phone) but to no avail. since then the error came back and i managed to get a different error on reboot: "root access possibly lost. fix?". I've cleared cache(s) and done a factory reset. No matter what i pressed it would be in a boot loop. I can still get to bootloader and recovery. then i tried to change the recovery to TWRP however when i try and fastboot, my device is not recognised by my laptop so i cannot add the ADB driver to the device.
sorry for sounding very vague / idiotic, i have no idea what i have done and no idea what i am doing to try and fix it. that means sadly i will need to be spoonfed the fix. if you need any more details or pictures of the problem let me know
thanks in advance

Are you trying to update to CM12.1? If so, the error is for a reason, and not to be bypassed in the way you describe.
If you are on an hboot older than 3.19, I don't think it will work with CM12 and 12.1. You'll need to update hboot (and rest of firmware, preferably) to proceed.
Also, CWM may be too old for CM12 as well.

Not sure what you mean here. Are you trying to install HTC Sync (and corresponding driver) by connecting the phone?
You can just do an XDA search for "simple adb" and you will find a couple really easy adb/fastboot installers.

how do i see what hboot i am on? and how would i update it?
i've installed HTC Sync but it doesn't recognise my phone being connected (so i cant view any files on the phone) and i've installed a simple ADB/fastboot but i can't see the driver option when trying to add it to my phone on Device manager. i have got to the stage whereby i have the ADB/fastboot folder and have the TWRP file in the same folder, just i cant get any further.
where would i begin getting to cyanogenmod 12.1, or would it be easier to revert back to a basic android os?
i know this is probably incredibly frustrating for you as i am a complete novice, but i greatly appreciate your help
i would post pictures to help but i cant as im a new member, i will when i can

This in itself does not mean the phone is not connecting by fastboot. And fastboot is the important thing here, so we can update TWRP, etc.
Try rebooting into fastboot mode, and try the command and see if your phone's ID is returned: fastboot devices
If you don't get the phone's ID and just "waiting for device" you do indeed have some type of USB connectivity problem.

Boot into bootloader, andyour hboot number is listed near the top of the screen.
Since you are s-off, its fairly easy to update the firmware (and I would suggest to update all the firmware, not just hboot) by flashing the proper firmware.zip. But let's determine whether that is even the problem, before we worry about flashing firmwares.

hboot is: 3.16.0
also my phone is detected by my laptop so all is well there
i have installed a simple 15 second ADB file but am unsure how to proceed from here

Your firmware is very old, so will need to be updated to run CM12.1. Also, newer versions of TWRP will not run with your old hboot.
Do a fastboot getvar all, and post the output, but delete your IMEI and serial numbers (as these are private info). Need more details on the phone (particularly CID) in order to know how to proceed.

I'm going to suggest WWE/International firmware. The updates are available way before O2 updates.
Download this firmware (it also includes TWRP2.8.4.0). Rename it to firmware.zip and place it into your fastboot folder.
Next, boot into fastboot and change your CID to superCID (it won't flash with the O2 CID)
fastboot devices to make sure you are connected (a bunch of letters and numbers/your serial# means you are)
fastboot oem rebootRUU (a black screen with the HTC logo means you are in RUU mode)
fastboot oem writecid 11111111 (eight ones) You are now superCID!
Now flash the firmware
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
If you get "error 90 hboot pre-update" (and you probably will with how old your current firmware is) run the same command again and the firmware will flash properly. The first run only updated your hboot.
The process will stop at 75% to 90%. That's normal and gives you a chance to check your console output. The last few percentage is the reboot.
The bar will fill to 100% after you enter fastboot reboot-bootloader
That's it. Good luck!

thank you both so much! so now do i just download the appropriate cyanogenmod version and flash it over?
