Back to stock with Nandroid

Hi,getting back to stock is not really my department. So just to make sure
1. Install nandroid backup of stock rom - done
2. That means that since my boot.img is stock as well as the rom itself is stock, that i only need recovery?
3. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - i'm on 1.29.169.13 rom, can i use any 1.29 IMG? http://www.androidrevolution.nl/ARHD/index.php?dir=OneX/Recovery/ ?
4. I have to relock my phone, right?
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
no need of any ruu, reboot, install OTA, done?
note that there is no RUU available for my phone except for the 1.26.169.13, which is 2 updates older than mine.

You will need to install the boot.img from your backup using fastboot.

[Q] Flashing Stock ROM Nandroid backup to return to stock for OTA update

Hey guys,
I have an HTC__044 device which is unlocked and running a custom ROM with a custom boot.img. I am wanting to restore the phone to stock ROM so I can download the JellyBean OTA.
I've seen the procedure for returning to stock RUU, but I am not sure on the procedure for when you have a full Nandroid backup of your stock ROM.
Could someone please clarify?
I understand it to be as follows:
1. Boot in to recovery and restore Nandroid backup of original ROM
2. Flash stock boot.img extracted from RUU via fastboot (or boot.img from backup directory on SD card)
3. Flash stock recovery via fastboot (or recovery.img from backup directory on SD card)
4. relock bootloader via fastboot
5. Reboot phone and stock ROM will be recovered
6. Download and install OTA.
Have I missed anything? Do you really need to flash back to stock recovery? I don't really see the point of doing that?
Thanks

U can try to relocked your bootloader and flashed the RUU for your device to return back to stock and waiting for JB updates.

Yeah, looks good to me.
You don't need to relock it if you're just going to apply the OTA.
To apply OTA, you need stock recovery.

Oh really? Cool!!
So I can just recover the NANDROID backup, and flash the boot.img then check it boots. then flash the stock recovery and download the OTA without re-locking?
I thought you had to lock the bootloader to get OTA updates as unlocked bootloader sets the CID to none, so no OTAs are detected, no?

I've never tried it, but as far as I know, you don't need to lock it, updates are based on IMEI, not CID, and although CID can show as all 1s in some places, fastboot oem readcid should return the correct one.
However it takes about 5 seconds to lock it and just a few more to unlock it, so... Your choice.

If you have the Stock RUU your device shipped with, just go in fastboot, connect to pc and run the RUU.exe.
If not, the steps in first post looks like a good route to flash back to your original ROM.

In my case it was shorter:
1. Restore nandroid backup (of the original ROM, did after root).
2. Fastboot oem lock
3. Run RUU
That's all.
You can try this too.

Well, the OP didn't ask for the RUU method and said he was aware of it.
What's wrong with:
fastboot oem lock
Run RUU

Before you do anything, the best thing to do is to check again what is the actual software version no.
Go to fastboot and type below command
fastboot getvar version-main
Tell us the no. written there
Then we talk about getting your ROM back to stock

Yours is same as mine, CID HTC__044 and 3.14.707.24
When reading your thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055377 I'm a little bit puzzled on why do you want to revert to stock as your device is already on JellyBean and there is no further OTA at the moment.
Here are three scenario that you may need to choose.
1) You just want to revert to stock ROM but you still need to root it.
a. Flash the stock boot.img attached here (That's the stock boot.img for 3.14.707.24)
b. Restore your nandroid backup
c. Reboot.. you are done .. you will have stock ROM but still on custom recovery in case you still need to play around like rooting the stock ROM or whatever you want to do.
2) You want to revert to stock ROM with everything complete stock with your nandroid backup.
a. Flash the attached stock boot.img
b. Restore your nandroid backup
c. Reboot to bootloader again
d. Flash the attached stock recovery.img (That's the stock recovery.img for 3.14.707.24)
e. Relock your bootloader with command "fastboot oem lock"
f. Reboot your device.. you are done.
3) You want to revert to stock with a RUU.
a) Download RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.24_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed.exe from various site that you can it this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604 or you can download from where that I uploaded one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34971176&postcount=2487
b) Put your device in fastboot mode and relock your bootloader with command "fastboot oem lock"
c) In fastboot mode too, run the RUU and follow the updater instruction - next- next-update-blablabla until it finish
d) Complete the setup wizard, you are done.

You have to flash the stock recovery.....the nandroid is taken with a custom recovery so the stock recovery is not included in the nandroid .... therefore you need the stock one :thumbup:
This is the 3.14 stock recovery

Mate... I even attached the stock recovery and stock boot.img for him above. I don't know whether he really read those I wrote.
So Jimmy, if you want automatic update like the stock ROM as you said; read again item 2 or item 3.

[Q] JB installation HELP PLZ

Hi guys,

I just unlocked my boot loader, im on ICS hboot- 1.12.0000
I didnt flash any custom recovery yet because i dont know what to do
On my DHD I just go into recovery and flash the rom. now Im trying to install Ordroid rom with JB on the one x
Download the ROM and place it on your virtual SD card.
Relock your bootloader via HTCDev.
Go into fastboot mode and type 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'.
Flash new firmware using the commend 'fastboot flash zip firmware.zip'.
On first time running the commend you will see FAILED, don't panic and just run the commend again.
Reunlock your bootloader via HTCDev.
Flash custom recovery using the commend 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.
Download boot.img and flash it using the commend ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’.
Use the commend 'fastboot erase cache' to avoid boot issues.
Go into recovery and install the ROM.
Reboot your device and enjoy from JB!
I really dont understand this why do I have to relock the boot loader?
and after I download the boot image where to I put it so I cant flash it from the fastboot?
can I just go to recovery,wipe, and flash the JB rom.
can anyone give me a quick explanation on how this thing work?
thanks alot, cant wait to flash a new rom.

you have to relock it to flash the firmware package... you have to put the boot.img in your pc and flash it in the command prompt... no you can't flash JB without upgrading the firmware...if you do not understand or if you are not ale to do it then you aren't ready to this type of thing and you would better stay were you are

Actually you probably didn't flash the kernel from recovery but the modules ! It's impossible to flash a kernel from recovery because we are (most of us) still s-on

[Q] rerooting after OTA update, cdma htc one v

Hi,
I need help. I did an ota update from htc to improve battery performance on my rooted phone. Now the phone is not rooted anymore. I'm still on stock ics rom, how do I reroot the phone again? Do I just follow the same procedures when I rooted it the first time? Thanks in advance for any help.

Performing the OTA update will cause boot loops with most of the custom roms such as CM10 and AOKP. To successfully run a custom rom you should revert to an older RUU then reroot the phone and choose the custom rom of your choice. Here is a link to the older RUU you need to be able to run most of the custom roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094373

if you have relocked the bootloader,u have to unlock it again.for this,place the Unlock_code.bin file u received from htc for unlocking ur bootloader the first time in the fastboot folder.(or the platform-tools folder,whichever u have).then boot into bootloader and go to fastboot.then connect phone to pc.then just flash the token using-
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
select yes on ur screen,ur bootloader is now unlocked.
now flash a custom recovery by placing the recovery_name.img in the fastboot/platform-tools folder and flash it using-
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
once recovery is flashed,flash this zip in recovery-

I'm still on the ROM the phone came with. I did not install any custom ROM after I rooted it first time. Do I reroot by doing the same procedures like I did the first time? i.e. unlock bootloader through HTC dev and use primo superboot to root.

Can't install update stock

so i just recently switched to my nandroid backup of the stock sense 4.1.1 original
but the problem i got an software update notification but when i tried to install it
and when the phone restarted i was already in cwm recovery , i read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714
and the backup i had already is restored and the boot.img flashed so there is only one thing left is to lock the oem and then the updates will be installed am i right pls help cuz i want to stick to the stock rom and get updates now.

To be able to update official HTC updates you need
1. stock rom - you did that
2. flash boot.img - you did
3. flash stock recovery.img - you didnt do that, you still have CWM
You dont need to relock bootloader
Stock recovery.img you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376 in firmware, but be aware that you need matching CID
