Hey team
I think I may have the opposite issue to most people here, I have just received my phone back from getting repaired (By the Parallel Import company here in New Zealand) and it has been returned to me with S-Off and CID: 1111111.
I would prefer to have a stock phone in order to get OTA updates (I know, the opposite of what most uses of XDA want and am happy to trade phone for a stock hand set)
I was given this TUT to restore my hand set back to HTC_044 (or maybe even VODAP022 the New Zealand Vodafone CID) but am receiving the error "waiting on device", I have tried unplugging and replugging it back in a number of times and have booted in fast boot to check it does change to "fast-boot usb" but am still getting "waiting for device".
I was wondering if anyone could tell me is the below method correct or is there a better way to get my phone back to a stock "off the shelf" device?
Thanks in Advance (easy on the Troll rage if possible)
Cheers
Firstly, you need to install ADB tools,
DOWNLOAD FOR OTHER PLATFORMS -> SDK Tools Only -> Windows
Download the one of package and install ADB SDK Tools.
If you don’t have JAVA SE Development Kit, you also need to install it in order to install ADB Tools. Please note that, you have to install JAVA SE Development Kit not just JAVA SE with 32bit (x86).
You will have instruction while you install ADB Tools any way.
Once you install ADB tools, open my computer -> c:\ -> Program Files(x86) -> Android
Right click on SDK manager and run SDK Manager.exe with Administration access.
Click Android SDK Platform-tools and press Install packages.
If the install is finished, you can see the new folder called platform-tools on Android folder.
Press SHIFT Key + right click on Platform-tools folder and click something say “Command”. Hot key is (W)
If you done correctly, commend window will open.
Please connect the phone with debugging mode (From the phone, go to setting -> Development -> select USB Debugging).
Now, type the following commend on the commend window.
fastboot oem writecid HTC_044
If you have done correctly, your super CID is now HTC_044,
044 is the Asian CID so you can update the phone with the latest of Asian firmware.
You can also choose HTC_001 or any other number. These numbers are represent all regions.

Worked like a charm!!
Just run Check CID from the market and it has come up with HTC_044
Have also just run the "check for updates" but still not getting 4.0.4 or Jelly bean but that may be a separate issue. Now that I am back to Stock.
<--- "thank" Clicked!
Cheers, your a phone saver!!
I know my original issue is now resolved but I was informed once the CID was returned to normal the phone would be "stock" again but I am still not receiving OTA updates.
Is there more to resetting the phone to stock?
As in do I need to get the phone turned to "S-Off" or do I need to flash an RUU (I believe however the phone has not been "rooted")
Phone info as it stands now:
CID: HTC__044
Software number: 1.28.708.10
Android: 4.0.3
Baseband 1.1204.103.14
Would giving you any of the following help?
Kernel version,Build Number
P.S. Please tell me my only mistake before was'nt just that I was using "HTC_044" and you have two under scores "HTC__044"
Thanks for your help again
What I can see here is your software version no. is not for HTC__044.
HTC__044's software version no. is *.**.707.*
I like to suggest that you flash the 2.17.707.3 RUU (since you changed your CID to HTC__044) and you should receive JB OTA update.
There is no JB OTA yet for x.xx.708.x

Your right, my software before I sent the phone to the Tech team was "2.17.707.3"
What region is 708?
Will flashing a 707 RUU return me to a stock handset or will I need to flash a new update manually each time?
Does that also mean my phone has been rooted? would not have thought an authorised HTC repair agent would have done that (that is if I believe that the phone was sent to an authorised agent, cant be sure with a Parallel importer)

No, your phone is not rooted. It just that you have a very lucky phone with s-off and cid:111111. 708 is Asia_HK
With your CID:111111, you can flash any RUU that you want, something that S-On device cannot do
Once you flash 707 RUU, you will receive update for 707, no need to manually flash each time. The system will accept your device as 707
I am telling you, man. In a few weeks time you'll change your mind about having an S-OFF phone. Don't trade it! I also have an S-OFF HTC One X and I didn't care much for that thing but after a few weeks of reading, I came to realize how lucky I am to have this phone. The things you can do with S-OFF!

I have had a search tho and every thing I have found including the http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_One_X seems to say that I need to be "unlocked" to flash a RUU. Can you point me in the right direction of flashing without unlocking?

You read it wrong mate
To flash a RUU, you need a "locked" or "relocked" bootloader.
I believe your device is not rooted so your bootloader is "locked"
What you need to do is, reboot to fastboot (press power +volume down for a few second, you'll be in hboot, press power once, you'll be in fastboot mode).
Connect your device to PC then double click the RUU, follow the the updater instruction, you are good to go
I would like to remind you guys as i have mentioned a billion times before (and no one believed me) that OTA updates and sent by IMEI ONLY ONLY ONLY.
No matter what your phone's CID/software number/colour/origin, if HTC didn't include your IMEI on the OTA update list you will never ever receive it. In case you really need the update, you can contact HTC with your IMEI. (they will most likely ask you to send it back to a service centre)
whether the OTA update will work on not, THAT depends on your CID.

If that is correct my IMIE number should already be in there as my phone was originally HTC__044 and 707. As per my opening post I'm just trying to get it back to that.
Or are you saying that makeing those three details match still won't do the trick?

Sorry for that probably useless question:
If I can change my CID like its written in the first post, I can do the JB Firmware update from here?
I am waiting since JB is out, checking this every day, hoping that my CID will appear and it just works like that?

Please read before posting/flashing/wiping.
What is the CID of your device. You can only flash a stock RUU with matching CID.
So you need to download the correct RUU for your device.
All stock RUUs available are here

If you would have spent 10 seconds looking in the Dev thread you would have found a list of all the available RUU's to download.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604)
Download your required RUU, boot into Fastboot-USB and run.
Next time be more careful and fully understand what you are doing before doing it otherwise you will end up with a £600 paperweight.

i unlocked the bootloader so if the op did the same their CID will be "none" and therefore the RUU wont flash.

Okay, I guess i will have to wait until the clockwork recovery gets USB mount!
Sorry but if you just want to return to stock you can do
1. Restore you nandroid backup, flash stock recovery and then relock the bootloader.
OR
2. You can flash stock recovery, relock bootloader and then run the RUU that corresponds to your CID/region.
I am probably answering my own question my CID is H3G_001. There doesnt appear to a 3 mobile ruu at all. Any help here? Fortunately its not urgent but may be handy if/when they release the upgrade

Hi all,
I need some help guys... I purchased a used HTC One X (Quadcore) a couple of days back from an online seller. The phone is perfect but seems the seller rooted the phone. I found out about it by following a guide that said to open a terminal emulator and type "su". It didn't ask me for any password and immediately turned the command prompt to #.
Now the phone has been lagging more than normal and I'm not receiving the OTA update as well. I decided to take it to the store as its still under warranty. So I need someone to tell me what to do and how do I reset it to stock firmware or unroot?
I lost contact with the seller and do not have the option to ask him to reset it for me or get any information about the root.
The phone was purchased from the United Arab Emirates.
Thanks for helping.

boot in to bootloader by pressing vol down + power button at the same time
then once you get to the bootloader check at the top of screen whether its written Locked or Unlocked
If its unlocked then your phone is rooted
if its rooted then you need to flash the ruu of stock ROM to and install stock recovery to unroot
and use some commands..

Don't know if you sorted this but you need to be using your current version number (find this in.. settings > about > software information)
Unlocked bootloader doesn't ALWAYS mean you're rooted, it just means your bootloader was unlocked... (which is a helpful thing really...when wanting to flash sexy stuff)...
The RUU (Rom Update Utility) Should match or be higher than your version number and must be for your CID or it will fail. FOR example... 1.29.401.9
The 1.29 start bit should match as should the red inbetween bit. This is what you're looking for.
Software info
Ok, all i see when i visit the software information is the following.

2.17.401.2 CL89015 release-keys
Browser version
WebKit/534.30
All i want is to return the phone to its factory state. I couldn't get the official OTA update coz of this stupid "maXimus" thing...
Well I guess if you have a nandroid back up you should've made, that would save you tonnes of problems otherwise you need to find what version you were on relock your bootloader and apply the ruu, not sure if you need stock recovery on.

I believe you know about going to fastboot mode and use fastboot command, type
fastboot getvar version-main
it will show your stock software version no. then you can look for the right RUU.
The latest official stock rom for the UAE is 1.29.415.11 and Radio 1.1204.105.14 android 4.0.3(i think), and the ruu flasher is
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_ARA_1.29.415.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260742_signed.exe (dont forget to relock b-l )
check the main version from fastboot by the method ckpv5 mentioned and if its not 1.29.415.11 and the radio showing on bootloader is 1.1204.105.14
that means ur phone was not middle east version OR
the original user flashed the wrong update from another country, and you will have to reflash that corresponding stock version.
Remember if you feel scammed at any point(online sellers or shops) you can contact the Consumer Protection Structure in the UAE , call 999 or the directory and ask for the number, they deal with scammers.
Hi guys,
This is my first thread here in XDA, so, forgive me by a possible mistake.
I recently bought a HOX, the seller said that is the international version.
I'm in 4.0.3, with software version 1.29.707.11 (already checked for updates, but phone says its up to date)
So, sometimes when i turn my wifi on, he doesn't connect in my network (already saved), i go to wifi settings, put to scan, and, aparently, the phone don't scan the networks and doesn't found my network too.
Obviously, im on the range of the network, and don't have that factory problem with bad wifi signal.
And, sometimes too, phone takes a lot of time to get carrier signal, so i turn on plane mode, then turn off, and finally get carrier signal.
My question is: is this normal? What can i try to fix it? (Thinked on a factory reset)
I don't tried anything yet.
If anyone could help, i'll appreciate and if the thread is on the wrong place, please move it

The difference is that it will reflash the ROM from scratch, it's the first thing HTC do when you take your phone for repair. It's very safe (when flashed with decent remaining battery) and very thorough.
Check the Shipped ROM sticky in the development section.
I am searching about the Rom Update Utility, but i'm not finding a good tutorial to follow, explaining the whole process.
If anyone could help me in the process :laugh:
Edit:
Thanks again Pope! I'll look in dev section
You just have to charge the phone, put the phone in fastboot mode (hold down the volume down key when switching on the phone, then navigate from there), plug phone into Windows PC and double click RUU.
You may want to do an "adb backup" (you'll have search for this) beforehand, flash RUU, test and then restore.

No unlocked bootloader, no root.

Ben sorry for tons of questions hehe
I'm reading a tutorial, and on it said that i need my CID number, in order to download the correct RUU file for the correct region of my HOX. How can i know if this RUU you posted is the correct for my HOX?
I've tried to get my CID number (downloaded the fastboot flasher tool) but when i put the cid command he returns: CID > None lol
I Know that my HOX is from Shangai (has a SH in serial number) and got my MID number.
So, i just need to know which file i need to download, the right one of course hehehe
If i will need the CID to know, i'll ask for the files for fastboot commands (i don't found them)
If not, just confirm the link you posted ealier if its the correct RUU for my case.
PS.: This link posted is only for premium users, and i don't have a premium acc, can you provide in another mirror?
You can't flash the wrong RUU, the phone won't let you.
You don't need your CID as you are not unlocked, knowing that you are 1.29.707.x is enough. It's the right RUU.
I'm sure you don't need me to hold your hand whilst you use google to find that file somewhere else. The sticky dev thread I previously mentioned will likely have a ton of mirrors for the file.
So.. i'll look fot the file in other places.
Today, i've connected in my wifi network, and the phone says there's an update...
It's the same update announced days ago, but in my case with a different update number...
Phone has been upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1.
If the problems persist, i will flash the RUU anyway, but, because of this update, nothing changes right? The RUU file you posted still valid for my HOX?
Not any more, you've updated your hboot, so you'll need an updated RUU (you can't install on older hboot, packaged with an older RUU).

Hi,
I've managed to mess up my HTC One X quite badly.
From poking around with fastboot I've got the following information from it;
PJ4610000
Main Version 1.26.401.2
Cid - none
Radio 1.1204.90.13
0.43.0000
I know how I messed it up. I'd not realised you couldn't install Jellybeam roms onto 0.43.000. One Cyanogenmod (cm-10.2.0-endeavoru) later and bingo, bootloop.
Didn't help that I had less than 30% battery life.
Anyway, I've now used a script to get the battery life up - but I haven't been able to run any RUU's on this - I downloaded two;

and
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_Vodafone_UK_2.17.161.4_Radio_2.1204.137D1.21_release_280390_signed
I'm thinking now that I cant do these either because I'm on 0.43.000 or because I need generic.
Ideally I want it to be latest Android and generic stock. It's for my wife, so she doesn't need superuser - but I'd like it so If I can get there too, great.
i've read through the main sticky's, but can't work out what the steps are I should be taking to get it out of the bootloop it's in and onto stock
What do I download? Do I need to do this;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660807
Or this;

whilst I do it?
Help much appreciated, as I seem to be stuck at this stage.
Download a 1.26.401 Ruu or a 1.29.401 Ruu. You are trying to install the wrong ruu because the main number is different !
My advice :
Download the 1.29.401 ruu and relock the bootloader, put the phone in fastboot usb mode. Then install the ruu with admin rights and let it install. Reboot the phone and go to settings-about-software updates and check for ota....if they are there install all of them you can get !
If there are no ota's available you look for the 2.17.401 ruu and install that the same way as the 1.29 and then do the ota........still no ota, download the 3.14.401 ruu and install that too. After that you can install any rom out here.

Right so;
1 - Download a 1.29.401 Ruu.
Ok, so like -
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.12_Radio _2.1204.127.19_release_271851_signed.exe?
Having real problems finding a rom download, these all seem to be on bugsylawson.com which my ISP blocks, or Hotfile which is down, but I'll look into that.
So I run that, with the device in Fastboot and enough battery life, which I use my batch script for?
2. Then 'relock the bootloader'. Is that running fastboot oem lock, when in fastboot, using the .exe in the folder and a command line?
Any special to do 'admin rights'? Or is that my local Windows account you mean?
I'm a bit worried about running OTA as apparently, some of these RUU's for the One X the OTA updates don't work - 401.6, I think?
Not sure if this affects the one I suggested?
3. Then run another RUU to upgrade if OTA doesn't work?
Is that about right (and thanks for the help, obviously!)
1 correct, try this thread for download links
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094113
2: fastboot command is correct, leave the phone in the bootloader and start the ruu.exe from the pc, right click the file and select run as administrator
Ota should be there unless HTC/carrier has took them from the server, hence the advise that if it doesn't work to install a higher ruu after you tried.
3: correct

No joy with that site, I get;
This website has been reported as unsafe
www.androidruu.com
Then if I proceed;
"Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/ruu/public_html/admin/dbconnect.php on line 11
Could not connect: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)" when I try to download any RUU.
Site works fine here, sorry
See
Maybe Google the whole ruu name, there a couple of them on hotfile hosting.
I was planning to put a small selection to nu dev host. Nut thats of no use now. Not earlier than tonight
Actually I don't know the programing language, it may be PC or network security something like that.
We can do download at this site no problem.

The site works to the page you showed, I got that SQL issue from any rom link.
But luckily I've found RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.12_Radio_2.1204.127.19_release_271851_signed
elsewhere.
Running it now and it failed.
So now I'm showing;
Radio as 2.1204.127.19
And bootloader as 0.43.
Oh no, hang on, I've not locked the bootlader, maybe that's why. I'll try again.
Yep try again, it must be locked

I get an error when unlocking. It says "status read failed, too many links"
But on reboot, I get "Reloocked" at the top, so I've tried again and it seemed to work, well enough to get me to an OS!
Only thing is, my home buttons etc don't work.
Hmm that's weird. Rerun the ruu. And in OS try to update
Ow or look for the 2.17.401 ruu and install that also !
And do not unlock it until you are updated high enough ! You need at least a hboot of 1.36/1.39 which is common in 401 software numbers.

Awesome thant, although the 2.17.401 ruu there is messed up. It's only 80 Mb and that's way to little !
OK, got it up to the latest official version and the screen was broken, so had that replaced.
Now need to get Cyanogenmod on it.
First thing - relocking, right?
First thing is reading and understand the things you need to do. If you start by saying to relock it we are off for a bad start !
Read the stickies and guides first on what you need to do before messing around !

Sorry, didn't mean to cause concern - I meant, now my screen is repaired and I'd got a stock rom onto it- then upgraded the stock rom several times, the first thing I needed to do was unlock the bootloader again.
I went off, read up on rooting again and followed several guides. Rooted, unlocked bootloader and I've got it to the stage now where we're on a decent level of bootloader, Cyanogenmod 10.2 (stable) is running and the phone works.
So thank you very much for that.
Only issue I have now is the battery life has nose dived. It's barely doing 12 hours.
Screen seems to be mostly responsible according to the stats, 52%.
Might just try replacing the Kernel before I go stomping back to Fonedoctors about the replacement screen.
I've made so many changes to os, bootloader etc during this process I may well have missed a step with wiping the caches or similar.
I made a full backup of the stock os before I went to Cyanogenmod, so I can drop back to that now to check it's not the os if I need.
Any thoughts on a good Kernel? Or advice on how to most easily change kernel with minmal risk? I really don't want to dabble anymore, so it's tempting to go back to stock 4.2.2 and just strip out sense 5 - which I disliked.
Hello,
I am in need of some help.
2 weeks ago i bought the HTC One M9.
A few days ago the update to android 6.0 message popped up.
I have probably tried updating it like 15 times already, but everytime the first part is downloaded, and my phone reboots, after 1/4th of the updating it shows a red triangle with an exclamation point in it.
I have tried wiping the cache, it didn't help.
Honestly i don't have a clue what's wrong, or where i can find out what went wrong, so i would really appriciate all the help i can get.
Example of what happens:
malmgrens [dot] org/bilder/htc_recovery_mode [dot] jpg
A few more details will be helpful:
- what variant do you have (locale & carrier)?
- is your phone modified (ie, custom recovery and/or root)?
In order to take an over-the-air update, the phone must be completely stock. If it is not, you'll need an RUU to restore your phone to stock (be sure to backup your information first). Then you'll be able to take the OTA update.

Hey, thanks so much for your reply
I am pretty sure i got the dutch version, it might be belgium.
The carrier is vodafone.
I am pretty sure its not rooted etc, since i didn´t do anything with it.
What does stock and RUU mean?(I am a total noob with this.)

Hi there,
To clarify - your phone boots to its current software with no problem, right? If so, it would be a wise thing for you to determine your MID (model ID) and CID (carrier ID). There are a number of guides - Google is your friend. I recommend looking up ADB installation, your OS (Mac, Windows, Linux) and going from there.
Once you know your MID & CID, we can help you find out what firmware is available for you.
To learn about RUUs, VenomROM has a great page that explains about what they are and how to use them.
Peace,
Computerslayer

Yes my phone boots to current software without any problems right now.
Some info i found:
CID: VODAPE17
MID did not show for some reason. I tried multiple ways using adb shell and fastboot, but shell doesnt show anything and fastboot gets stuck at waiting for device.
Is finding my MID nessecary to fix this update problem? If so how can i find it?

Hey thanks for your reply.
It says unlocked. Is that normal or could it be an/the issue?
If you are unlocked, it's related to your issue.
You have to flash a RUU to be "stock" and ready for the OTA...

Alright, so if i understand correctly i can flash a RUU (whatever it is lol) without having to backup without doing a clean install. The phone wont wipe my data?
Would this guide be what you mean?
how-to-flash-ruu-firmware-htc-one-m9/
from naldotech
com
If you flash an RUU....your device will be wiped clean....as it came out of the box...
Then you can OTA on a clean....stock rom....g
The Thread is a good one.
More explication of what is needed in post2 or post 3 of TWRP thread (about Google's new limitation for the OTA).
Beware flashing a RUU will wipe everything, don't forget to backup all you take care...
