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.

k buddy let i do with ur stock.img and recovery.img hope everythin work fine and i choose item no 2 thanks buddy and how to i maximize battery life of my HOX
This phone is proving to be a nightmare to return to stock. I have the correct RUU, extracted the rom.zip from it, flashed boot_signed.img & recovery_signed.img and the relocked. I left the phone in hboot like in the video and ran the RUU and it just says error 120, the battery is too low but the battery is at 96%. CID is HTC__621, getvar version-main says 1.29.751.12 and the RUU is called 'RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Chunghwa_1.29.751.12_Radio_1.1204.107.14_release_261363_signed'. Does anyone have any insight? Thanks.
Unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery ......do a full wipe, also batt stats ! Then relock the bootloader and keep the phone in fastboot usb mode , then run the ruu with admin rights ! Right click the ruu and select it
I've mentioned this before and believe it or not it's worked for at least one other person, no idea why, but it works:
unplug your phone and plug it in to a different USB port on your computer, preferably one in the back (those hard to reach ones, 'cause nothing is easy about going back to stock).
I've tried both suggestions and it still says the battery is lower than 30% even though its above 85%. I tried all three USB ports on my laptop. I've even tried 4 different USB cables, a black HTC one, a white HTC one, my Nexus 7 one and one I got from a dollar store. Never have I wanted to destroy a phone as much as I do now..
Faulty battery .... Nothing i can do about that. Sorry
What if you do
Fastboot getvar all
It gives also the batt stat

Battery Status says good and it says 4080mV.
This sounds stupid.... But.....did you reboot the pc once and then check again. And check if there is a 2.17 ruu available for you and run that one
I didn't. Let me try that.
Same results and its now at 88%. Better Battery Stats reports good battery health as well. Ultimately I just want to tryout the JB Sense ROMS. My CID is HTC__621 so I tried to flash the firmware for my CID but I get a failure message upon that too.
You have a working rom on it ? We can do this without a ruu. Do you have a nandroid backup of the stock rom ? Otherwise we have to check in the nandroid backup thread from Matt95 in the general section. And restore that one

I don't have a Nandroid back up, I bought the phone used already with a custom ROM on it. I've been using ICJ AOKP since I got it but I wanna give the Sense ROMs a test run. Do you have a link to that thread?
Found the thread. There's a JB Nandroid for my CID (HTC__621) but it says I have to have the latest Hboot installed but the firmware won't flash.
Check the rom threads for a rom you would like, only ICS sense roms work on your hboot. Look around and pick one out ....
Download it and put it on the sdcard, copy out the boot.img and place it in your fastboot flash folder.
Put the phone in fastboot usb mode and flash the boot.img
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then enter the recovery and do a FULL wipe then install the rom.zip
I can check tonight if there is a way to get you to stock so you can update to JB. I'm off now .... @ work
I was just running InsertCoin 9.7.0 but I miss the JB features. I restored a Nandroid to ICJ for now. I tried to flash the firmware again and it gave me an error again and I've attached a screenshot of it.
OK, I managed to get it to start flashing the firmware.zip but it said something about flushing the image first. Screenshot attached.
What is that firmware.zip ? if you want to restore the nandroid you have to flash the boot.img that is inside the nandroid backup folder. No need to flash firmwares to restore a nandroid !
Edit : a the firmware to upgrade to a JB hboot, I'm a bit distract here
Did u locked the bootloader before running the upgrade commands ?
I didn't lock the bootloader first. That did it. Thank you so much for all your help.
And now you can also return to stock because there is also a stock nandroid available for you ! :thumbup:
CASE CLOSED
Flashed the firmware, flashed the boot in the Nandroid for my CID and restored the Nandroid and it works like a charm. Flashed the stock recovery, relocked the bootloader and got update 3.14.709.20. Now I'm making a Nandroid of it. Thanks again for all your help, Mr Hofs.
so the title says it all..ive done this before but i forget the command
anybody?
When i soft bricked my phone i run the RUU in fastboot and it worked fine.
you will need to relock your bootloader and have more than 30% battery.
Yes phone in bootloader / fastboot usb menu
Lock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
Keep the phone in fastboot usb mode and run the RUU WITH admin rights (right click the ruu to choose it)

No you need the full 3.14.401.31ruu instead of the ota. The 3.14.401.27 will not work because that one contains the 1.36 hboot and you are on the 1.39 hboot, downgrade is impossible
Are u on a unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery , then get your cid
Fastboot oem readcid

Hi,
Yes I am on unlocked bootloader with custom recovery
I've downloaded the file stock-nandroid-3.14.401.31.tar.bz2
I've managed to display the file contents
boot.emmc.win
boot.emmc.win.md5
data.ext3.win
data.ext3.win.md5
system.ext4.win
system.ext4.win.md5
would i be correct in saying i extract the boot.emmc.win from the file and then flash it
restore the nandroid from within twrp
flash boot-3.14.401.img
relock bootloader
would this then be suitable to send off to htc for repair?
Flash the boot file as it is, you don't need to rename it
And yes that's all you can do :thumbup:
Don't forget to flash back the stock 3,14 recovery

thanks - i've installed CWM via fastboot and when attempt to restore get a md5 error
trying to get adb working on my machine so perform the md5sum check but always reports no devices - fastboot is fine
What i meant was that you can't restore a twrp backup with cwm at all, maybe there is a workaround but i don't know it, flash the twrp back and check in the backup collection thread if there is info about the twrp folders
Twrp backups are at /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/[device serial]/[backup name]/

I'm going to update my htc one x to jelly bean from ICS, using custom ROM (ARHD), it was noted that I need a firmware package, and now that I found the package for my CID because took sometime before I found it, is it really required to flash it? TIA
For JB roms you need a JB hboot those are the 1.31 and higher up. Except for the aosp JB roms, those run also on the lower ics hboots.
So if you are on a lower hboot then 1.31 then yes you need to upgrade the hboot
Now I think everything's messed up and I badly need help here, so stupid with I did.
At one moment, my phone is stuck at One tm screen, after I flash the boot.img and installed the custom ROM. I tried to restore my phone using CWM but it still stucked. It was too late before I realized how to flash the firmware package that I need to rename what I downloaded to firmware.zip. I tried flashing the firmware without knowing that I have to relocked my phone before I flash it. Now I relocked my phone and I'm stucked with hboot and I can't do anything at the moment.
With it relocked. In fastboot do
fastboot oem rebootRUU (note the capitals)
Your phone will then reboot into a black screen with the HTC logo.
Then do fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Once completed fastboot reboot-bootloader
It will reboot into bootloader
Then unlock and flash recovery again.
Flash boot image and reinstall ROM and you should be good to go

Cannot load "firmware.zip" always shows up. My CID is HTC_044, and as far as I know I downloaded the correct firmware package for my phone according to ARHD forum. Thanks in advance.
Did you have the firmware.zip in your fastboot folder?
Yes. And I downloaded it 3 times just to make sure it is the right firmware.
Oh and sometimes you need to flash it 3 or 4 times to succeed. I had to do the command 3 times when I flashed my firmware.
So try it multiple times in a row.
Sent from my One X
Sorry but I tried several times and "error: cannot load 'firmware.zip' all the time. What could be the problem?
During at work. I thought if is it possible just to return to stock ROM? But I just can't find the proper RUU yet.
cid: htc_044
version-main: 1.29.707.11
I'm currently charging my phone using the batch file I found here in xda. I saw a lot of posts regarding flashing the current version of CWM so you can charge your battery, I think my CWM is in version 5.8.1.0, and as far as I know you have to unlock your hboot before you can flash recovery, so it's impossible for me to flash 5.8.4.0? Am I correct here or I can just proceed to the other steps?
I can check tonight if i have your RUU !

Thank you Mr Hofs! And, should my battery level is 30% or higher before I can flash the RUU?
Yes ! If you can't get enough power with the batt script you can flash the latest cwm recovery and charge the battery in there to 100% if you want to.
Unlock the bootloader first if it is still locked

I was done in re-unlocking my bootloader, but then I still can't flash cwm recovery because it says low battery, then I tried to use the batt script again and of course it cannot work since I just re-unlocked my bootloader.
I never tried it with a unlocked bootloader, have you tried it ?
Yes, I tried it and it doesn't work.
What I did for the past hours, I tried to restore my phone again using cwm recovery, still nothing changed, still stucked at htc one logo, then I turned it off trying to charge it using the main charger and it does have light in its LED, left it for a while and now it doesn't turn on.
Try it with phone connected to the pc, it seems to make a difference sometimes....and if you are capable again to run the bat script then leave it for 2.hours or so !
Now it's working. The first time I used the batt script, I thought it could charge more than 3681mV but It didn't work as it didn't get higher than 3681mV. I HOPE it's enough just to flash the cwm recovery. Thanks Mr Hofs, will update asap.
Sorry for bothering you guys again ^^
Finally I found some informations about updating HBOOT one my HOX, but I don't want to ruin it, so i wanted to ask you if I understood everything^^
My acutal HBOOT is 1.12, my main-version (dunno what exactly it is called) is 2.17.771.3 and my CID is H3G__106 (Hutchison 3, Austria).
Currently I am on ICJ 1.72.
I've found the following threads:
H3G BRANDED JB | Manual Update, Nand, OTA File, Firmware.zip [4/2]
[TUT] How to upgrade HOX with a RUU(hboot.img, etc..) after installed a custom rom
[COLLECTION]Stock Nandroid Backups for Different CIDs
Unfortunately I'm not sure which firmware.zip, etc. I have to use to update my HBOOT on 1.39(?, I think it's the actual version) to use ICJ 2.1.
I would be pleased if you can help me and tell me what to do and which firmware.zip, etc. I should use.
cheers,

Finally I found some informations about updating HBOOT one my HOX, but I don't want to ruin it, so i wanted to ask you if I understood everything^^
My acutal HBOOT is 1.12, my main-version (dunno what exactly it is called) is 2.17.771.3 and my CID is H3G__106 (Hutchison 3, Austria).
Currently I am on ICJ 1.72.
I've found the following threads:
H3G BRANDED JB | Manual Update, Nand, OTA File, Firmware.zip [4/2]
[TUT] How to upgrade HOX with a RUU(hboot.img, etc..) after installed a custom rom
[COLLECTION]Stock Nandroid Backups for Different CIDs
Unfortunately I'm not sure which firmware.zip, etc. I have to use to update my HBOOT on 1.39(?, I think it's the actual version) to use ICJ 2.1.
I would be pleased if you can help me and tell me what to do and which firmware.zip, etc. I should use.
cheers,
z3xi0n

Well i would go with the nandroid backup (the one with from the last link) get your nandroid backup from there matching your MAIN number .... 2.17.771
You unzip the nandroid backup to the phone (read the OP to where exactly) then you flash the boot.img from that nandroid (located in the folder) and perform a full wipe in the custom recovery and restore the nandroid, boot it once to check the phone runs as new...all Oke, flash back the stock 2.17 recovery and reboot the phone and check for software updates.
And as for the firmware flash, the thread could not have typed it out better.....you need the part that says NAND H3G__106......
All the commands are in there and the links too

Well, thanks! I'll try it in the evening.
A last question: After doing the nandroid backup and firmware flash my HBOOT will be 1.39, am I correct?
Yes you are going to hboot 1.39.
But keep one thing in mind, only do one of the options. If you go for the nandroid backup you do not have to do the firmware flash......when you restore the nandroid backup completely including the boot.img and stock recovery you check in settings - about - softwareupdates for the official OTA and install that. The OTA will flash the hboot automatically and will update the software to JB :thumbup:

Well, it came to my mind that I only have the phone with the Hutchison 3 branding, but it is unlocked and I have another provider. Does this conflict with the option to do the nandroid backup and checking for software updates?
And if not, I think I have to unlock the phone again and do that stuff to flash a custom rom?
Ai i can't answer your first question, never encountered that before .... as for the second question, with a nandroid backup you do not have to relock the bootloader. So after the updating process you flash back the custom recovery and flash a new JB rom.

Well, okay. So I will just test it, and if I don't get any updates I can switch back to my old version of ICJ am I right?
Yes ofcourse .... do a nandroid of the rom you are running now and after that you restore the stock nandroid backup.
Don't forget to flash the boot.img again when you return to the old one
Well,
I tried the nandroid backup from this thread but I only get some md5 checksum errors...
Then I tried it twice with the backup from here but here I get sometimes a black screen (display is ON) after the htc logo and sometimes it goes past the black screen and comes to the screen where you see "HTC ONE BEATS AUDIO" and there it gets stuck.
I also did a full wipe every time before doing the backup and I also flashed the boot.img from the backup
Any ideas? :/
cheers,
z3xi0n ;D
I got simillar effect while trying to restore backup from that thread
And im actually in a boot loop for allmost two weeks, so i'll stick around for some usefull ideas
When you read the OP of the first thread there is a workaround for the MD5 error

Uh, my bad I'll try it again in the evening ^^ Thanks for helping a poor noob
status update ^^
Used the backup from here, searched for OTA update (got one), tried to install it. Phone switched into recovery and I got some errors. Looked it up in google, found this site and removed this part
Code:
assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" , "22222222" , "33333333" , "44444444"
, "55555555" , "66666666" , "77777777" , "88888888" , "99999999" , "HTC_……);
After this I was able to install the update (in recovery, using "install zip from sdcard"). After the update the phone reboots and gets stuck on the HTC logo. Hboot is still on 1.12. Now I used my old backup cause I need the phone tomorrow again. Any ideas how to get the update fully working? :/
cheers ^^
Then i guess the update fails because you need a backup matching your cid too !
Because the nandroid backup was for another cid (O2 and orange backups where compatible with different cids)
You can try to only perform the firmware flash to update the hboot and then flash a JB custom rom after that.
Mh, okay. Then I'll try it with a firmware update. But I am a little bit confused because when I deleted the part with assert(check_cid(...)) etc. I saw my CID, H3G__106, in this part.

Hmm okey, well i can't shine a light on that im afraid, but if the nandroid fails (who said that the nandroid is 100% stock anyway, we believe the uploader on that ) your best chance is with the direct firmware flash
Am I right that I have to do it with this manual? And do I have to install at first this stock backup or can I flash the firmware directly on my acutal ROM?
1) go into fastboot and enter "fastboot oem lock" - the device will reboot
2) go into fastboot again and enter "fastboot oem rebootRUU" - there will be a black screen with a silverish HTC logo
3) enter "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" (you need the firmware.zip from page 1 for this)
3a) enter the same again, the green bar under the logo should go to 100% (either after the first or second time)
4) enter "fastboot reboot-bootloader" to go back to your fastboot
5) unlock your device again with the unlock code ("fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin")
6) Restore your old boot.img (fastboot flash boot name_of_boot_file.img) and recovery (fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_file.img), make sure you copied them from the nandroid backup folder we created earlier into the folder that contains the fastboot.exe you're using.
(7) Reboot and you should now have Hboot 1.39 with your old boot and recovery.
(8) If it won't work we still have the backup ready to restore the old system, Hboot isn't changeable right now on S-ON devices outside of the RUU routine - so even if you restore your nandroid you should still have Hboot 1.39 now)

Yes thats correct. No neef to flash the stock recovery. Directly the firmware is enough. But reflash the rom with boot.img right after that....

Any succes ?
Well, now I did the firmware flash, put ICJ 2.1 on the phone and it works, but the phone doesn't get my sim card. Any ideas? ^^
Uhm well......does that rom needs a modified boot.img for the higher hboots maybe ? Just like the CM10. I would try it first with a full sense JB rom to make sure that everything works as it should, or try CM10.1 ?
Did you checked that the hboot is actually upgraded ?
Or could this have something to do that you unlocked it from the carrier ?
