Before you download it make sure CID matches. Otherwise the install will abort.

How to remove bloatware
HI Guys
Ive read through the forum link above all 24 pages and downloaded the relevant Stock Roms, the original from HTC and the Vodafone one. Ive got a little confused reading through all the posts. To flash the original stock rom over my current vodafone branded one what steps exactly do i need to take. People are mentioning the unlock via htc dev in the forums is this required to take it back to the original stock rom. I didnt see any clear steps on how to get this done. Anyone provide any help. Ive flashed my old phone numerous times but at present am a little worried about using the htcdev way. I know the developers are working on s-off is any of this needed for what im trying to do??
Thanks in Advance

you don't need to unlock to flash an official ROM.
Best way is to grab the RUU file that is correct for your device and flash that way. Its a windows executable you run whilst your phone is connected via fastboot.
edit: that would bring you back to the vodaphone crap. whoops. disregard but yes you don't need S-OFF or unlocked blootloader to flash original rom

Hi Mate
Thanks for this, just a quick question then im currently running 1.26.161.2 (vodafones ROM) and i want to use the original stock one from HTC 1.26.401.2 can i just overwrite vodafones with this one?
Gav
I too am a bit of a noob and have a voda branded hox on its way to me. I was under the impression that although we may be able to flash stock htc hox firmware onto the device, we won't be able to it 'properly' because of no proper s off or boot loader..... Or something..... And therefore won't be able to receive any OTA updates afterward....
Or am I talking rubbish and we CAN actually nicely and simply flash stock firmware on and forever after have no issues receiving offiCIAL OTA?
Also gav I don't even know if any stock RUU exist yet...?

Hi Mate
Yes i have the stock and vodafone rom downloaded i got it on here from the developers section. We should be able to install these RUU updates as it doesnt require s-off or to use the htcdev method as least from my understanding.
Sorry to bump this thread, but I'm currently looking for the Original Stock ROM for the HTC One X.

Mate, first you must know exactly what are you looking for. There are numerous links around here with different versions of stock ROMs.
You need your phone's CID and main version.
Only after that you will search, download and flash the stock ROM that ffits your phone.

I've checked my CID (Using command - fastboot getvar cid)
My CID comes up as : None
I am currently on Revolution HD 7.x ROM and wanted to update to the new 19.x ROM
The problem is when I try updating the hboot, it constantly fails.
I've downloaded the "x.xx.401.x - World Wide English (WWE)" version
A friend of mine has a stock standard One X from Vodafone and JB was just pushed out as an update for her.
I want to try and restore my phone back to the original ROM for that purpose. (also helps in case of warranty)
Have had a look but cant seem to find the original Vodafone ROM anywhere.

Download CID getter from Play Store. It should help.
Also fastboot getvar version-main is important for you, too.
Do not try to flash incorrect firmware!

This is good news! You need main version also. Then, go and check HERE. There are explanations and files that will help you. Download and flash (as per instructions) nandroid backup that matches your version. Once that finished, you will soon get notification about available update. Accept it, and you will have Vodafone stok JB. After that, do what ever you want with your phone

You'd need to find the original RUU for whatever CID your phone is and flash that onto the handset and then relock it.
There's a thread around here somewhere, try the search bar

I'm actually curious on this too, mainly for the sake of getting the OTA update and making sure it updates everything that fastboot flashing cannot, such as the HBOOT.
So it's not possible to simply install a stock ROM and just reflash the original recovery to have the OTA install?
You mean this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660807 ?
Could someone tell me a easy way to unroot and flash ruu on it?
On the tread i post above, I can´t download the ruu. It says its more than 500 mb and I need a premium account.
So is there a other way to unlock and unroot en put the original software on the one x?

OK. I'm a little bit lost in the HTC world!
I've had a Samsung Galaxy Note II for the last year and have just replaced it with the HTC ONE (M8). I found the whole rooting and ROM procedure relatively straight forward with the Note II. In a nutshell you:
1) Rooted with a Windows based application
2) Installed / Flashed a recovery system
3) Flashed a custom ROM using a Windows based application called ODIN
And that was that. Pretty straightforward. Having had a nose around the HTC forum it's awash with clever folk using abbreviations and acronyms like CID, RUU and S-OFF...!
My M8 is on EE network in the UK which I know is CID ORANG001. What I would like though is to convert my M8 to a generic European M8 so I can receive the latest HTC updates rather then await EE to push out their version. This therefore prompts me to ask the following questions:
1) Is this something we will be able to achieve?
2) What is the (potential) process to achieve this (assuming something similar for the M7 already exists)?
2) Will over the air updates work?
I've read numerous posts which seem contradicting. Some talk about a simple change of the CID others mention S-OFF as the GOD of everything related to the subject. If I were to guess, changing the CID seems too simple, but I'm guessing once changed to a generic EU CID it's possible to receive HTC's OTA updates? Or am I wrong there? Or having another guess I would assume I'd need to go down the lines similar to Samsung process of rooting or S-OFF (security off?) and flashing a generic stock EU ROM?
So what CAN currently be achieved and what CAN'T currently be achieved?
I guess I could do with a little background on these processes and the terminology used.
Any help, greatly appreciated.
Can :
Unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery to install a custom rom based on the latest firmware. You are depending on rom updates from the dev if he updates it to the latest software/firmware
Can't :
S-off
Change cid
Get ota via another rom
Run a ruu because they are simply not available
So to receive ota you need your original stock rom. And before you start messing around please make a stock nandroid backup and store it !

Also not familiar anymore with HTC. After reading and reading and still not finding the exact answers to my questions, so I simply (after unlocking and flash TWRP recovery and backing up) tried to flash Virtuous ROM (1.54.401.5) over my German o2 device (1.12.206.17, CID O2___001). Everything worked except WiFi, so I tried a last call with mikes ARHD Rom 3.1, before going back to stock. And this ROM works brilliantly!
But I would also be happy if the OP questions could be answered...
@Mr Hofs
1. the WiFi problem discribed above could be firmware related?
2. When my Provider o2 brings out an update with firmware, can I simply relock bootloader and push the (perhaps) available firmware.zip it to the device via fastboot like mike explains in his firmware thread?
Edit :
Well that would be weird as both roms the OP flashed are based on 1.54.401 so i would say no.....

OK thanks. Few more questions if I may.
So from the "can't" list, IF we can get the ability to change CID and have S-OFF in the future, would it provide the ability to receive OTA updates when HTC push them out, or are OTA updates simply out of the game entirely?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Yes that should be possible , all you need then is
Changed cid
Stock rom
Stock kernel
Stock recovery
Or the ruu (if available)
Then the phone is ready for ota updates.

Great thanks. Last question then, what is RUU?
I'll keep your thread bookmarked and attempt to get a backup in there.

A ruu is a Rom Update Utility and it contains the rom, kernel, firmware, recovery (and some more stuff). When a ruu is installed its like the phone is factory stock.

Hi guys,
need your help.
I have Europe M9, with S-ON.
Rooted it, and installed TWRP, installed custom rom.
How to revert it to full stock? I have sold the phone, and now buyer wants it back to way it were.
Thanks.
Thankfully it's pretty easy; just download your carrier specific RUU to restore to full stock. It's a Windows executable that completely wipes & return your phone to factory state.
I have bought it in Telenor Serbia it was on 1.32.401.15. Should I use any Europe RUU, or do I need to find one exact to match my carrier, and-or my firmware version?
sorry if being noob, but cannot understand this HTC's nonsense (s-on/s-off, cid, hboot...) thats the exact reason why I have sold it. to complicated for me...
I just want it up and running, and trust me, I will never EVER buy another HTC again.

Since there are two different versions of your firmware and I don't know which one is the correct one for you I would suggest you to use this firmware and downgrade to 1.32.401.8. This works because the aboot has not been updated until now. The process itself is very easy:
Download the RUU
Rename it to 0PJAIMG.zip (that's a zero at the beginning not an O)
Copy the file on an external SD card that is formatted to fat32 and not bigger than 32 gb
Boot into download mode
Follow the instructions that are shown on your M9's screen
Congratulation you are now back on stock rom and firmware
You have to use either this way or the fastboot flashing method since there are no RUU executables for the european version.
Btw: No one here forced you to buy the M9. Since it's simply a matter of taste it's up to you which device you choose. I personally prefer HTC's user friendliness in regard to bootloader unlock and rooting (compare it for example with Samsung's Knox system). But this is not the right place for that debate.
Edit: Since my phone is S-OFF I'm not completely sure but you might have to relock your bootloader or step 5 might no work properly.
I have the same problem, i wanna know how to restore it to full stock, i need it just in case something happens to phone and i need to use my waranty. I'm also on telenor serbia. Any detailed instructions would be much appreciated. And one more thing, will i be able to recevie OTA updates even though its rooted ?

Root by itself doesn't prevent OTAs, but changes to the recovery do. As far as I know, acquiring root (for this device) always involves flashing a custom recovery. So OTA aren't possible until the stock recovery is restored.
Do I need to have sd card, or can I flash it from pc using adb?
I have already tried this method, and fastboot gave me an error 22? Maybe I got wrong firmware. Will try again, thanks.

If you are S-ON you can only flash a RUU for your carrier and device. If that's the correct RUU for your phone, it will do it.

So if you're an European open you can't really flash without s off?

There is a RUU list in the General forum. Not all configurations have RUUs, unfortunately, as it has always been with HTC.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/htc-one-m9-dump-t3060545
By far the easiest way for the inexperienced is to use the windows exe version linked to a few posts ago .
If you're on 1.32.401.15 then simply flash 1.32.401.17 using the exe version. Simply run windows program and follow on screen prompts .
Main limitation if you're S on is it will only allow upgrade that is to go to higher number as described .
I think there is also a 1.32.401.8 exe but that's an earlier version so if you tried to use that and you were on higher version such as 1.32.401.15 then it wouldn't allow unless you had obtained S off.

One more thing, i received lates OTA update, but it wont instal because recovery isnt stock. I found stock signed, when i flash it will the phone factory reset or not ?
I recently bought an HTC One (M9) 32Gb Factory Unlocked on eBay but when i put the phone in downlode mode i saw in description: htc himaulatt, i suppose is att carrier and it has bootloader locked, s-off and cid:11111111. Also the firmware is 3.35.617.12. This is the Developer Edition? Can i flash another Sense rom like ViperOne?
Any help please?
With supercid....you likely have an att variant phone that has been flashed with the latest OS....or I suppose it could have taken the latest OTA if the recovery and FW is stock...
Either way....you can flash viper....or any MM rom that supports the ATT network....
You are in pretty good shape for Modding....just remember to backup your device before doing anything to crazy...g

Hey, did you get any luck installing other roms? I have the same phone and it is "S-ON", I'd would give the rom that you have tried a try as well... let me know!
Hey guys,
I've got a m9 with the exact same condition, bootloader locked, s-off and cid:11111111, and firmware is 3.35.617.12. However, when i bought this off a seller online, he told me its brand new. (lied, by the looks of it)
I', not familiar with this whole flashing, ROM, SCID, s-off etc thing. But right now i've got a android security update, which werent allowed to proceed because it says i am not running official HTC software. Also my phone says its a test unit and is HTC's property (which i've read somewhere that says its due to the s-off thingy)
I only want my phone back to stock, and could update OTA.
Where do i start? i dont expect answers, but perhaps some guide as to which articles/threads to read? Its all quite confusing to me at the moment.
Cheers, CLee
Well, S-OFF basically means you can do what you want with your phone.
You can unlock your bootloader by typing "fastboot oem unlock" in your cmd.
Since your rom is x.x.617.x, you run the developer edition, that one is always himaulatt.
No lock, just dev edition.
I just got a HTC M9 and it also says himaulatt, but mine says S-ON, i can't find any information about this particular model.
