Custom rom and warranty? - HTC One X

Hi
Basically i cant find my RUU and i need to return my phone for hardward issuses crappy simtray and wifi but i cant return it to stock so im wondering does anyone know what would happen if i returned it with a custom rom installed??
Im on O2 UK and had my phone for about 5 months but recently my sis got a one x too and its so much better reception never cuts out and wifi signal is like 100% stronger so i dont know what to do is it worth returning it to O2 with a custom rom or will they be like immediately oh its unlocked and custom romed your hardware isnt covered? anyone had any similar dealings??

You might be able to bring it to stock, get your cid and main version and check if the nandroid collection thread in the general section has your matching nandroid backup

thank you very much found the right one now all i need to do is figure out how to use it i assume just through cwm so am i right in assuming its best to use the nandroid, put on the stock recovery and relock the device?

Bro, the RUU will just be an .exe file you can install that automatically brings your One X to stock, if I recall you don't need to do anything in CWM.
You will need to relock the bootloader though I think.

Does anyone have a copy of the 2.17 stock recovery, the link in the nandroid thread link is broken and cant seem to find a copy of the recovery anywhere else?? thanks guys

Here is the RUU for O2 UK:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/48a..._Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251230_signed.exe
Install this then update OTA for the latest updates.

he's on a 2.17 based version like the most of us ! So a 1.26 based ruu will never work !!! You can not downgrade the hboot !
This ruu will end up in an error !
I can give you the stock recovery tonight ! At 20:00 if you still need it

Thanks mate i'll wait till 20:00 tonight =)
You know i noticed that while my version is the same 2.17.206.2 my CID appears to be different the nandroid is O2_102 but my CID is O2_001
does the different CID numbers mean i cant use that nandroid back up??

Ai i have to check tonight. Gonna do some fastboot commands to get the right cid !

Thanks man i really appreciate your help bloody one x has been a bit of let down with all these hardware faults and poor battery life but the use of custom roms generally make it easier but god are locked bootloaders a pain in the ass for warranty =( i bet you after all of this o2 will just send it back saying oh theres nothing wrong with it lol

Right , just use the nandroid and my link to the stock recovery. If Ben says its the same i believe him, but i'm still looking for the clue
Version is the same so it won't be a problem. And if you run into a problem there are always people that will help
Edit : Mr Ben Pope seems to have made a little mistake in reading
I think this nandroid is not going to help you, and i don't see your ruu either on htcruu.com ! And your cid 001 is still missing in the stock backup thread !
I will make a request there ..... I'm starting to believe now that we don't get it to stock at the moment

[Q] Back to stock rom

Hey guys, I have a HTC ONE X international version, running CM10 4.1.1 tripndroid..
Im very new to android and i wanted to go back to the stock htc sense rom cause im having a few issues with the custom rom.
i checked my CID and it is VODAP021. I also saw another thread which said i should use the RUU with voda_au, but it isn't working for me! the RUU always fails and says please use the correct RUU for your phone.
any suggestions on what i am doing wrong?
thanks in advance! and sorry if this thread is in the wrong section!
What hboot version do you have
And also give the outcome to this fastboot command
fastboot oem readcid
I followed Option 2 of this guide to get back to stock : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714

i dont see a ruu somewhere now, you have the option to try this
download this nandroid backup
http://db.tt/ZskoHuWB
then flash the boot.img from the nandroid with fastboot commands, boot into the recovery and do a FULL wipe, restore the nandroid and check if it's working. then you have to flash back the stock recovery and try to update the phone !
hope this make sense

One that's not released yet ! So if you going to unlock and flash a custom recovery again......
make a nandroid backup of your own stock rom
And start flashing roms after that

i thought it was working fine, but ive hit some problems again :S
im trying to flash the recovery.img from the nandroid back up, im assuming thats the right one to flash?
with the following command
' fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
it apparently flashed correctly.. but everytime i try to do an OTA update for 4.1 it goes back into ClockworkMod Recovery? and the installation gets aborted
That's the right command but the recovery from the nandroid is a custom one because the nandroid is made with it , you need a stock recovery
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
Flash this one and update again

now that i've updated, i can put clockwork mod back on and then make a nandroid back up yes?
btw sorry for all these questions.. im a real noob! :S
Yes unlock the bootloader, flash the custom recovery and make a nandroid backup. Save this backup also somewhere on the pc so when something happens to the sdcard (make a mistake and formatted it ) then you still have it !

If you already download matching nandroid backup for your cid, just extract the zip file in folder clockworkmod/backup WITHOUT renaming it. Copy the boot.img from that folder to your working folder on your pc. Flash the boot.img. Then restore the backup in recovery.

Don't forget to do a full wipe before restoring the nandroid.
sorry for being such a noob but i really can't put things together on this....
I just got my one x yesterday and it has all the singapore and thai language and keyboard but i want the euro version the store i bought it from knows nothing about his or what to do.....also my storage only shows 10GB!!!! shouldn't be 32??? so i read about it and from what i understand that a software change might fix this as well.
so my software number shows 3.14.707.24 and i m downloading now the RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe)
my radio in bootloader shows the same radio number here and my hboot is 1.36000.
so please help me out on this one, is the file that i am downloading now possible to install on my one x? no boot loader unlock or root just plain stock rom installation, is it possible??? thank you very much.

Yes correct. The .31 is for the 1.39 hboot, you have the 1.36 hboot. Restore the nandroid completely and then flash back this stock recovery

[Q] Pretty advanced question.

Hey there XDA,
I'm new here and watched the noob video just so you know. I think I'm onto something pretty advanced.
I have rooted my phone (HTC one x, euro version) before and I have NOT made a recovery before I did that. I installed AOKP and because I did not read everything I screwed it up completely. My phone was 'bricked'. I've brought it to some guy who fixes phones for cash, now I have NO idea what he did to my phone because he wouldn't tell me. (Ofcourse, he wouldn't make any money anymore if he told me which is reasonable).
I really would like to know if my phone is still rootable. The bootloader is relocked at the moment and I REALLY want to get root acces. But I'm scared to ruin it because I'm on 4.1.1 and I think there is no root for 4.1.1 yet. I am also scared to do a factory reset and get back to android 4.0.1 because that might brick my phone again. (The latest update for my HTC worked though). That's why I will include a message with my software info. Maybe some of you guys know what he's done to my phone, and if it's still possible for me to root my phone and MAYBE someday get a custom ROM on there.
I think this is alot to ask but searching on the net didn't give me alot of information. Sorry for the long thread and please, If i'm in the wrong forum tell me so I am aware of that.

By the way, If I go into the official STOCK recovery mode I get a screen with a red exclamation mark and some kind of hard disk. I do not know if this is normal.
You say Euro version, do you have the Evita or Endevarou? You check by going into bootloader.

Hello, thanks for replying.
It sais Endeavoru when I go into the bootloader.
Rooting is the still exactly the same as it was for ICS ! Going into the stock recovery will indeed show that sign. We are not supposed to go in there....that's why the warning sign !
He probably just ran a ruu and updated the phone to Jellybean !
A factory reset will not bring you back to your old version of android

Before I brought the phone to that guy I've tried doing that by myself. Got some sort of program and ran an RUU but it failed. Are you saying it is still possible for me to root it? I have no idea what went wrong with the AOKP Rom though. If I make a backup with titanium backup can I always return to stock rom when I mess up? I know these are basic questions but I'd rather be sure this time.
You probably had the wrong ruu ! And yes you can unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and then the most important !!!
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP ! Lol
After that flash different roms of your liking.
Give these commands
Fastboot getvar version-main
Fastboot oem readcid
And post back the outcome

You probably had the wrong ruu ! And yes you can unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and then the most important !!!
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP ! Lol
After that flash different roms of your liking.
Give these commands
Fastboot getvar version-main
Fastboot oem readcid
And post back the outcome

Is there anything that you see that may prevent me from rerooting and reinstalling another ROM?
Cool another dutchie
Nah you can unlock and flash away. As long as you keep your nandroid safe (if not...there are plenty stock nandroid available for us. All 401 stocks work with all cids)
So go ahead if you want....

Can you link me to a 'basic' rooting guide here on XDA? I'm pretty scared that the software the other guy installed might ruin the root. I'm willing to try though since I think there isn't alot to go wrong with rooting.. What about this? Is this One X supported? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
Nah don't go there. Stay in the phone specific forum !

Will I get into any trouble since the bootloader sais RELOCKED?
Also, I found a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIeq8Jx28cs
If I follow all steps in this video will this work? Also, do I need CWM to get superuser/root?
Sorry for asking all these questions. I REALLY need to get this done the right way.
No the bootloader will go from relocked to unlocked. Then flash a custom recovery. Make a nandroid backup and install a custom rom, those are already rooted (and tweaked by the pro's)
Please don't use video's, most of the time outdated !

At the moment I'm only interested in rooting, since it gives me acces to new apps etc. Since there are ways on XDA now that I do not know and don't even know how to use ("EASIEST ROOT METHOD - 'RECOVERY + SUPERSU'") I think I should stay away from it.
Oh:
From what I understand: You download clockworkmod release, install it on your pc and flash the SuperSU file on your phone. Is that everything? Seems pretty easy...
No you unlock the bootloader with the unlock_code.bin file by flashing it from the pc to the phone. Then flash a recovery from the pc to the phone. Then install superuser.zip from within the new recovery.
All flashing is done with the phone in the bootloader and commands from the pc.

Don't you have your phone rooted when you unlock the bootloader?
I'm sorry, some things that are on xda I dont quite understand so I find it hard to know what EXACTLY to do.
No a phone is never rooted. The phone is unlocked and you need to root the rom.
Root applies to software, not hardware

Alright well I think I'm going to have to do some more research, as I don't get alot of terms since english isn't my main language (I'm a dutchie as you said). You unlock the bootloader at htcdev.com. I know how to do that I've done it before, once you unlock the bootloader you can flash the file 'super SU'? and then you have root acces?
No
1: unlock
2: flash a custom recovery
3: install su with that recovery

Sorry for the late reply, missed this thread... Are you on full stock m8? With locked bootloader? If so, then do a factory reset from bootloader and see if it boots up...
If the above thing fails and if your bootloader is locked and you haven't unlocked it even once, it's best you send your phone to HTC to get it fixed under warranty..
If you don't have warranty, what is your cid? fastboot oem readcid

He is already on 1.36 hboot, it means his firmware is upgraded. Restoring an ICS backup will break the touch most probably!
If everything else fails he could try to do this...

Mount the sdcard in the recovery as a usb diskdrive. That way you can acces it
