Before anyone gets to be smart ass, I have already tried searching forums. Searched google for quite a bit as well. Spent couple hours on the subject matter but still couldn't fully understand everything so that's why I am asking questions here.
I have gotten hold of a HTC one X which is acting up. Freezes up, screen goes all haywire, things get mixed up, screen banding. From what I have gathered it is on a custom rom ORDROID. I want to simply make it go back to stock rom and if not possible then to cyanogen rom. But the priority is to get back to stock rom and see if it fixes things up. I am a Galaxy series Owner where things r not complicated , HTC is not my forte. Please just guide me to a simple procedure it will be very appreciated.

I believe phone is rooted and recovery is installed as well.
Quick reply with simple instructions and minus the sarcasm will be loved
PS: Any unbranded GSM English ROM will be fine.
well since you're rooted already and have cwm , I'd suggest you simply try and flash another Rom , there's a guide how to flash them easily in every roms thread by dev who made it. shouldn't be too hard , just don't forget to erase cashe. gl.
You say you 'got hold of it', which implies it wasn't yours from new. Check with whoever you purchased it from as to which original firmware it was on

@Roguesniper1:
Why you didn't search the four... ok you did that, but how about Googli... ok you did that as well. How about understandin... ok you couldn't (joking here).
Your first sentence made me laughing when I read it, and yes it really starts getting out of control with those smarties (at least on HOX forums).
Sorry for the OT, now to your problem. I'll give you some guidelines and you could search the rest, which I don't consider it as a problem in your case.
* If your boot loader is unlocked, lock it first (you could find the guide here, and also posted many times on JB threads).
*(Skip this part and move to the next one) Download your RUU from here http://www.htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor or from here http://www.filefactory.com/f/7cc7b2fbdd03c031/ (provided by [email protected]).
* I think this RUU is the right one for your, http://www.htcruu.com/securekey.php...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
* Install it.
That's all & Good luck.
Happy Christmas
Note: if you read the word [email protected] it doesn't mean you are rooted.
I relocked my bootloader and tried installing your rom but it is not installing, also i can't boot the phone anymore, it goes back to Hboot screen, did i miss something, was there a file to load before relocking the bootloader ?
hey guys. one of my firends is having a problem like this but woth one difference: he is on stock rom and unrooted..in short he has done donthing with his phone but experiencing almost the same problem said above. how can we fix this?
thnx in advance

Try also installing CWM Recovery and do what neuTrue says.
sorry for noobing but i am all unfamiliar with one x and especially htc's so about this bootloader, it says *** LOCKED *** and ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL below that. should i assume that bootloader is locked (because of ***locked*** thing) or is it unlocked (s-on)?

you dont need cwm to install the ruu. actualy you need to relock the bootloader if it isnt allready locked.
then you need to find out the correc ruu for your phone
fastboot getvar version-main this command should tell what version is the correct for you
i have a question. this phone is on stock rom, and as far as i understand we are flashing a "custom" stock rom.
but what is the difference? why does htc make a rom with major problems like these? and can we fix these problems better than htc?
hope this rom fix this problem, cuz its very annoying.. :s
hi! Sorry if this been asked before, but hey not all cases are the same .. and basically I need help with the following, I'm no noob in Android but a little in regard to HOX, since I come from a galaxy nexus and with that phone I had no problem to install roms rooting etc. .. but with this I find something more complicated, because I see that people talks about of CID and things like that.
Somehow I need help with this: i know that the 4.2.2 update already come out for the HOX in Europe .. but I'm from Venezuela, and I doubt i will get the update for my phone, so I decided to flash an ota that roam the Internet or here on XDA.. so, first i see that you need to have certain CID for flashing the rom, and i don't think my CID is correct, because it is BSTAR301, at least that says an app that i downloaded from the play store, but if you know other way to know the CID that is more accurate tell me and i do that and then tell you, but if this BSTAR301 is really my CID then fine.. I see that the phone has to be 3.20.401.1 but my phone has a similar number: 3.14.518.34, i dont know if for the same thing but i dont see anywhere on my phone this one 3.20.401.1.. that's it for that part, then I know I have to unlock the bootloader, and install a custom recovery, I have no problem with those two but my question is, what should I do now? I really want to install that update! Below are my data that shows my HOX, and is for you to tell me whether I can install the update via recovery or not, or what should i do.
Android version: 4.1.1

I think that would be all you would need .. oh and of course, the phones is 100% stock.
Last thing, is somehow i can install the update, is there anyway that i dont have to lose my configuration and everything? like a real ota update you know? I mean I dont need to make a full wipe right? Since I do not want to lose all my settings but I want to make as if he really was updated via ota.
Well now, sorry for the speech but was the only way to explain what I need hope you can help me

Bootloader (power + vol. down) will tell you what HBoot version you have.
I'm not sure what HBoot came with the 3.14.518.34 software but if it is 1.39 you can install a custom 4.2.2 Sense 5 ROM. I believe that is the lowest HBoot version that supports 4.2.2 Sense 5.
Otherwise, it is simply a case of, you will have to wait for an official OTA update on your CID, if you ever get it.
If you CAN install a custom ROM, if your HBoot version is high enough, you WILL have to full wipe.

so that, i want to keep my phone completely stock for now, maybe on the future i will flash a custom rom, because its not like i have something against those thats why i told that i dont want to lose my settings and things like that

There is an app in the Play Store called CID Getter, it will confirm your CID for you.
To the best of my knowledge, for that CID and/or software number, there is NO upgrade path to 4.18.401.2 that does not involve a custom ROM.

that's the app i used before to get my CID, and as i say i get BSTAR301 i don't know why is so different from other HOX that says HTC_001 and thing like that.
i want to update my HOX but i don't want a custom rom :'( why is had to be so hard for me ¬¬
oh and i never tell you before, but mine is a tegra 3!
As @Tigerlight has already mentioned you cannot get stock 4.2.2 sense 5 for your cid, the only option you have is a custom Rom. I am using maximus 2.1.0.0, it is based on official 4.2.2 release but has extra features and is as close as you can get to stock. Everything works as it should. There are also other Rom's which will work on your handset like bugx or arhd and many others, all of which are built on the same official 4.2.2 base.
Now go get the cakes
Well, i guess i dont hace another choice! But i will use the most perfect rom and the most bugless because i dont want to be jumping from one rom to another! Thanks for all your replays, you've been very helpful to me

You cannot 'bypass' CID as such. There has to be a compatible HBoot available for your CID. He has a compatible HBoot version.
But he does NOT want to flash anything. He wants STOCK. No custom recovery, no custom ROM.

Thanks! i will check that out
Hey Tigerlight, since you been very helpful to me, i have another question for you..i've been searching on google and i find something called SuperCID and to get the HOX s-off
my question is, can my HOX be s-off? unlocking the bootloader doesn't have to do anything with that right? but if i can get my one x s-off, and get SuperCID, then can i flash any stock 4.2.2? or maybe an ota will come out by itself?
i've been searching this, becase the more i think about it, i really dont want to flash a custom rom on my phone..i dont have any problem of rooting my phone, or flashing a custom recovery, but what i really want is keep it stock for now.
Nope we can't s-off it. And if you decide to flash another rom....do NOT forget to create a stock nandroid backup of your existing rom. You will need it because your cid and main number are pretty rare on the internet !!! So please be careful with that !!!
The unbranded backups are easy to get here on xda ..... yours don't !
well one last thing then, i don't know how to say this but, can a phone, in this cases the one x that is been sold by an operator (in my case movistar) be free from that operator? i mean, i know by now that i order to get an ota update from the operator that sells the one x on my country (movistar) its that they release an update right..but the thing is, that i sim-unlock my hox, so i don't have anything to do with then anymore (because im using another operator) does that mean that the phone still need to get the update from them even if dont using their services anymore? like i say, i simunlock my phone..how can i make my hox like i bought it unlocked from the beginning with no carrier attached, because i know that the unlocked one are getting the update, the ones from and operator (like at&t, etc) still need to wait for them to update..you understand? because i dont know if im explain myself xD
Yes your phone still needs to get updates from them because cid and main version can't be changed on the phone.
Hi everybody,
I've been reading a lot of stuff since now but still have some unanswered questions.
I want to return to completely stock as for insurance or warranty purposes.
I originally got an german HTC One M8 with T-MOB101 cid.
I unlocked the bootloader as the temp-root variant did not work for me, s-off'ed, changed cid to Supercid and flashed ViperRom.
But now I have to send it in to insurance company because my display glass broke after dropping my htc one off about 1 Foot...:crying:
So how would be the optimal procedure to get as close to completely stock?
I know that after reverting everything the bootloader would still say relocked.
So my idea was to:
1. get an original T-MOB101 NAND backup and restore it (beforehand restore T-MOB101 cid)
2. flashing stock recovery
3. Removing Tampered (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51700320&postcount=1)
4. Setting Locked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571)
5. play over an OTA firmware.zip
This would lead me to a stock rom with OTA capability, but would still show me the red warning as well as S-OFF.
As an alternative I read about hex edited hboots to get rid of the red warning or even Mask S-off as s-on.
However in the according thread i could not make out an hboot corresponding to the T-MOB101 CID. So I tried it on my own after having a look at stock and modified hboots.
I edited my own hboot according to those modification but am too scared to flash it as it could hard brick my phone....
So I ask you guys, am I on the right way and what would you do ?

To tell you the truth, I don't think the insurance company will care about any software mods. Different story if you had to send it in to HTC.

Well, actually I would agree, but as they turn on the phone and a red warning pops up I could think of any crazy reason why they would deny the repair or exchange ^^.
Whatever that reason might be that would result in a broken glass caused by the software
Does the red text dissappear if I return S-ON, officially relock bootloader, stock recovery and cid?

The only way to get rid off the red text is with a modifed HBOOT.

Well ok, I feared that. You're not accidently fit in Hex-Editing ?
As I said, I already backed up my hboot and edited it as the other hboots I founds with the wrong cid. But I'm afraid of flashing it without anyone else who knows something about hexediting took a second look at it.
Also does the hboot get overwritten by a NAND backup? So if I'll restore I would have to modify that hboot and not the one I'm currently at?

Sorry, have not done hexediting in a while. Hboot is part of firmware, does not get overwritten by restore backup.

First you should flash the stock rom then stock recovery.This will remove your red text.then you should flash ruu.I would suggest not to change your cid.
Also if you are comfortable you can change your cid to supercid,mid to wwe mid then flash wwe fw and its recovery then flash the ruu.This will convert your phone to international htc with s-off and super cid and you will be able to take ota and you will have full 100% warranty.
Hey Jyotirdeb,
thanks for your input.
But there is still the problem, that I have to come to T-MOB101 firmware and not the WWE. Furthermore as far as I have read, the red text will only disappear if I flash stock recovery, stock ROM AND S-ON again. At least without a modified HBOOT.
Other problem is, that there are as far as i know no RUUs available for the M8 up to now. Correct me if I'm mistaken. At least I didn't find one, especially for cid T-MOB101.

It is true that you have to be on stock rom and stock kernel.But you dont have to be s-on you can be s-off.And yes as far as I know there is EU ruu (unbranded) maybe you have to wait for hTC to release Ruu for other variant.I am sorry I cant be of more help.
Hmm, strange thing, as I actually read it again that there must be s-on and everything stock, to get rid of it, but nevermind.
Really, where could I get that RUU from? As far as I know only the Sprint or Verizon Variant does have a RUU not the International One.
Furthermore would I need the RUU from T-Mobile as the release it with their branding, not HTC.

"Hmm, strange thing, as I actually read it again that there must be s-on and everything stock, to get rid of it, but nevermind."
If you have an s-on device you can change bootloader status to relocked but if you have soff device you can change bootloader stats to locked so you will get 100% warranty.I dont know about version or sprint but the ruu is available for unbranded EU model.

Actually, on that site there is a RUU for unbranded phones only. For T-MOB101 they have a nand backup and firmware. I'm still thinking whether I want to use that. That is, I have a similar issue as the OP, I mean, I want to reinstall Android, although I'm completely stock, unrooted, etc. It's just that the Lollipop update screwed everything up and I'm hoping that reinstalling will fix it. Unfortunately, for CID T-MOB101 no RUU is available. So, I either have to use the backup and then flash firmware, for which I have to root and install custom recovery first, or I have to wait till HTC comes up with Android 5.1.
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

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?

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.

If you're on Lollipop, you can use sunshine to unlock and flash away. If on MM, you have to downgrade to LP, and then use sunshine to unlock (this is a cost of 25 USD). There is a thread for the downgrade here in the Verizon forum. As for a rom, I highly recommend LeeDroid, as he makes roms for all M9s, and he is based out of the UK. For that, just go to the HTC One M9 main forum, not the Verizon forum. I'm currently running it and it is fantastic.
Edit: Sorry, totally somehow thought you were locked. Anyway, just make sure you have the latest TWRP and flash any rom you want, but you'll find more activity here:

Roms based on stock (I recommend for stability, signal, and camera) are under "One (M9) Android Development."
Hi,

Here's the link for the rom which has instructions for for installation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/rom-leedroid-one-m9-v7-0-0-rc1-march-t3068468
I can't remember off the top of my head if your recovery is new enough (I believe it is), but here is the thread for TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3066720
If you don't feel comfortable rebooting your phone into different modes and doing some command prompt codes, I'm not sure I'd recommend doing any of this though. Make sure you do your research and read, read, read. Maybe even search YouTube for examples of people flashing TWRP and such.
thank you sending the phone back, will buy a uk version
