hello i have htc one x with custom rom and custom recovery
hboot version -1.23
cid number : J_15
i want back to stock rom
how?
Restore your nandroid backup
Flash boot.img (from nandroid)
Flash stock recovery for 2.17 based roms (search @ xda)
You are back on stock.
On hboot 1.23 you can't revert to stock as there are no ruu's available to flash. The highest hboot that can still be flashed back to stock via ruu is 1.12. You will have to wait until an ruu is released with a higher hboot for your region. Once the official JB OTA is released for your cid, you can update the hboot to the latest version and then get some kind soul to upload a backup of their stock rom until the ruu's are released.

Well, you can flash a 2.17.401 backup (ROM, boot.img and recovery), and then relock. At that point, you have an entire software stack that is signed by HTC, so, close enough to stock. An RUU isn't some king of voodoo magic.

I'm aware of that mate and you're right, it's close enough, but then he did ask to go back to stock and not close to stock

My HOX is currently running ARHD 18.2 and i have a hboot 1.39 and i want to go back to stock
1)i can't find JB ruu for j_15
2)do i need to downgrade my hboot in order to flash a ICS ruu
3)how to downgrade
You cant downgrade in any way unless you have an s-off device. You need a stock nandroid backup !
Just checked ... there is a nandroid backup available for you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
Restore it including the boot.img and you are back on stock
i have a nandroid backup i made i when i first rooted my device.
I can only go to the stock JB now or i can never go to stock again??

What do you mean exactly. If you have a stock nandroid backup you are actually going back to stock ....
does other numbers matters apart from 415 because it has to backups 3.16.415.4|1.29.415.x.and i have a stock ruu rom that i installed once has no's 2.17.415.2

i get it
Depends on what you really want. The nandroid backup 3.16.415 is the stock JB......the ruu with 2.17 won't work anymore because of the updated hboot.

i just want to get back to stock cuz my phone is acting crazy like all of a sudden preparing sim,heating up in normal use etc
Ah like that. According to your hboot (1.39) you have to restore the 3.16 nandroid backup. That's the stock one matching your hboot number

is there anything else i should knw
You need to flash the boot.img, do a full wipe in the custom recovery and restore the nandroid. Then you will have the stock software back on the phone :thumbup:

THANKS
one more thing can i keep custom recovery with my stock rom or i have to flash stock recovery in any case
No you can run the rom fine with a custom recovery.....the only thing you can't do is update the phone with official ota
Is it possible to downgrade hboot from 1.39?
I think my hox failed when i upgraded to 1.39. I have tried all diffrent kind of roms and RUU.
The symtoms: The desk freeze up and I have to use powerbutton to get the panel to work again. And it sometimes start flickering and I have to use powerbutton to get it straight. The wifi don't work when i wakeup the phone, I have to restart wifi to get in running.
No not possible unless your phone is S-Off but that's very unlikely.....
You cab however flash the standalone firmware again to make sure your bootloader/hboot is without errors
You can check this thread for that .

If I really really want to do a super duper factory reset. What should I do? I'm on ARDH 18.2 and hboot 1.39.
Back to basic as far as i can...
Thanks for assisting.
Hi,
First time user of an Android device. I have a branded Vodafone HTC One X that I unlocked and flashed Cyanogenmod 10 on. It works wonderful, runs really fast and is overall much better than Sense. Now that Cyanogenmod 10.1 has reached beta stage, I'm intending on trying out JB 4.2.1. In order to do that, I need to update my HBOOT past 1.28.
It is here that I am quite lost. I did a bit of reading around on xda and other forums to figure out the best method and got a lot of different and sometimes conflicting info. I think this FAQ is the most accurate to my situation although I am worried that it is out of date: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660807
If it helps, the current HBOOT version on my phone is 1.12 and the CID is VODAP021.
It seems the consensus is that I have to (from top to bottom order):
Revert back to stock Sense ROM
Revert back to stock recovery
Relock bootloader (Do I lose root when I do this?)
Run the correct RUU for my phone in order to update HBOOT
Re-unlock bootloader, re-root (if necessary), re-flash custom recovery and flash CM10.1
Are all the above steps correct?
I am aware that there is a collection of stock Nandroid backups somewhere on this forum, but for simplicity's sake can I just restore the Nandroid backup I made prior to flashing Cyanogenmod on my phone? Will restoring the backup also restore the boot.img file? Will the backup also revert my phone back to stock recovery?
Also, I looked on the RUU directory (http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Endeavor) and found two RUU's that match my phone's CID: 1.26.862.3 and 1.29.862.11. Which one is correct?
Sorry if I seem to be bombarding with questions. I think I get the gist of it, but I'm rather paranoid of screwing up so I just want to triple check my understanding before I do anything. If I am over-complicating things, please let me know.
Yes root is lost on lock ( only remporarily ). When you unlock with fastboot oem unlock_token.bin you get back root.
Has Vodafone released JB update for your phone? If yes , then you dont need RUU. After returning to complete stock ( even recovery ) you cant update with official OTA . This will update the hboot.
You only have to revert to full stock and stock recovery. The bootloader can stay unlocked ! :thumbup:
And yes the ota is out for him
The basic steps are :
Flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup
Full wipe in recovery (caches,data,system)
Restore the nandroid backup
Flash the stock recovery
According to your hboot 1.12 you are on 2.17 based android 4.0.4 software .....
This is your stock recovery

There was indeed an OTA for my phone which updated HBOOT to 1.36. Updated to CM10.1 with no dramas and was much simpler than I anticipated.
Thanks everyone for all the advice!
Nice ! Glad we could help !
CASE CLOSED !
How is CM10.1 working?

Im a noob, but I think you have to go back to the stock sense ROM and then gete the official update to Jelly Bean. After that you will have the 1.39 HBOOT and then you can install CM10.1

Go here and do the firmware flash... READ freakin carefully !
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927048
the firmware flash lifts the hboot to a JB one and then install any JB rom you like

ONCE AGAIN THANKS MR HOFS FOR INFO
Glad it worked for you !
My HOX is with CID HTC_044.
HBOOT-1.36.0000
I have been using it with ViperX ROM.
Now I returned to Stock by running 3.14.707.24 RUU, waiting for 4.18.401.2 OTA
Now I want to taste the Sense 5 from those custom ROMs available out there.
I'd like to know whether I can still go back to Stock 3.14 ROM from the 4.18 custom ROMs by running 3.14 RUU.
And flashing 4.18 custom RUU will upgrade my hboot version or not...?
Sorry for noob questions
Not sure if you can downgrade using RUU after you have installed Sense 5 based custom rom.
This is what you should do
Your phone is now running 4.1.1 with Sense 4+
Unlock bootloader from htc dev
install custom recovery
take a nandroid back-up ( make two back-ups just to be sure) - Make a copy on local PC or cloud
flash Sense 5 based ROM and enjoy
when htc rolls official update
find firmware.zip file for your CID from mike1986's post in android development section
extract boot.img and recovery.img from the zip file
boot phone into recovery
restore your nandroid back-up for Sense 4.1.1 & Sense 4+
flash htc official recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
flash htc boot.img (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
check for OTA and flash it

Can't say it is noob question, actually )
Yes, you will be able to flash 3.14 RUU after custom 4.18, because custom ROM do not update firmware (HBOOT).
All you will need to do is the same steps, which you did before 3.14 RUU
Thanks a lot for all...
So lons as the HBOOT isn't changed, I can unlock, flash custom recovery and flash Sense 5 custom ROMs.
Then when I want to get back stocked, I can flash 3.14 RUU, rite ?

Yes, you are right.
As long as you do not touch firmware you can do whatever you want with JB ROMs.

if using nandroid backup relock is not necessary will also work with unlocked bootloader tried many times its working..
he just have to be sure to use stock boot.img and stock recovery from nandroid or the mainversion

My Hboot is 1.39
and i wanted to know what is the latest Hboot for this CID
as i saw some guys here having the same CID and have Hboot v1.73
So can someone help before i screw up my phone ?
BTW i am currently with ARHD 31.3
Also , My stock backup is gone , so thats an issue and i didn't find a ruu for my phone.
Some hints :
Fastboot getvar version-main
That command gives you the nand number you need. Check in the general section for the nandroid backup collection. And restore the one you need if it's available for download. After restore you need to flash back the stock recovery and update. How to is described there too.
And yes there are updates waiting for you.
Cheers.
Ruu is not available indeed. And if there is no nand available just keep on using a sense 5 rom if you want. All current roms work on your 1.39 hboot.

If you wish to update the hboot, all u need to do is do a nandroid restore to 4.0.4 (which is available in this forum)..fastboot flash stock boot.img, and fastboot flash stock recovery.img and lastly relock the bootloader..then update your phone normally via OTA to get the latest rom and hboot..unlock and install custom roms...that's it...
And do NOT loose another stock backup again !
Edit :
Relocking the bootloader is not needed. The 1.29 and the 3.16 are available. The 1.29 is probably of no use because i don't think you find official ota with that anymore. The 3.16 may be of use but therefore we need your main. If your main is lower you cant use it either !
You can find them here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
@amirage where is the 4.0.4 ? I can't see it at this moment.....another thread ?
1.29 = 4.0.3
3.16 = 4.1.1
