I have recent version of One V gotten from Virgin Mobile during the cyber Monday sale. I really wanted to try jellybean so I tried AOKP cdma (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878994)
I used All-In-One Tool Kit by hasoon2000 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676686) first to unlock and flash recovery. It has a video on how to use it too. vey nice.
Then I flash the AOKP 11/19 nightly rom but something was not right, it was booting OK but every 20~30 seconds, the phone rebooted itself. They say recent One V with the OTA update experiences this symtoms.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The solution is to go back to stock rom.
Pre requirements which are already available if you downloaded All-In-One Tool
1. HTC drivers are installed
2. Android SDK installed
The way to go back to stock rom is to use RUU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591059)
For the virgin mobile USA CDMA, you can download
"RUU_PRIMO_C_ICS_40A_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.08.652.6_Radio_1.00.00.0521_2_NV_VM_3.46_0503_PRL61008_release_262414_signed.exe"
Make sure you download the correct RUU. Otherwise , you will break your phone !
Execute the RUU executable and go to temp folder by typing %temp% in your explorer window. It will create two temporay folders with long names. Once the wizard screen appears, one of the folders contains another long named folder that contains 'rom.zip' file. Copy the 'rom.zip' file into the directory where 'fastboot.exe' is located. You can close the RUU wizard screen now.
This is the full temp path for me.
C:\Users\%windows7_userid%\AppData\Local\Temp\{8AB121A4-D261-43DF-A709-93BCAAEE61DB}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}
Boot the phone into bootloader (power off, hold down volume and press power) and highlight FASTBOOT using the volume rocker and pressing power. Then connect the USB cable. You should see FASTBOOT USB.
Now execute below commands from the CMD window from the directory where the fastboot.exe is located.
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
Then reboot normally to see your Stock rom !
After that, I reflashed the AOKP 11/19 nightly rom, and now it is working like a charm! I love it!.
See my phone with jellybean! Note that AOKP 11/19 is pretty stable, video recording is working good , but with minor graphic glitches time to time. The glitches occurs and disappears right away, so it's not a big deal.
I followed your instructions and was able to revert to the stock rom. The problem now is that ClockWorkMod recovery no longer work and I can't reflashed the AOKP rom. When I try, the phone displays a processing icon and then a red triangle with an exclamation mark. That's when I have to hold down the power bottun to shutdown manually. I can still boot into bootloader though.
I tried going through the steps to install recovery.img again but somewhere/somehow as the cmd are executed I see a line that says failed.
Do you have any idea what's causing the problem?

Hello, Basically processing icon with red triangle shows when you go into recovery mode with the stock rom.
what happens is that we have to lock the phone to install the stock rom to work properly ( This commands locked the phone --> fastboot oem lock )
So you have to perform the unlock and flash the recovery again after reverting to the stock rom . Try the ALL IN ONE Tool kit.
Basically when flashing your recovery to clockworkmod and then installing aokp (for the one v) download a seperate boot.img which is in the topic because the one included in the AOKP zip caused mine to lock up as well. Once you flash boot.img with one of the newest (CM10 bla blabla) it was ok for me.

I tried the fastboot oem unlock command and also reflash the recovery using the All In One Tool Kit but was unsuccessful. What am I doing wrong?
I have included attachments of the cmd screen to give you more context to what is happening.
Thanks Tomskii for the advice and will keep it in mind when choosing rom but my current problem is that I am unable to access the CWM recovery to flash any rom.
What happen was I flashed to the CM10 rom but it kept rebooting after few seconds.
Multiple xda post says to revert to an earlier stock rom to fix the RADIO version.
I am now in the current position:
stock rom with RADIO 1.00.00.0521_2(Which I believe is correct)
No access to CWM recovery from Hboot screen
fastboot oem unlock cmd is not executing
All In One not able to flash recovery or boot in recovery

It looks like the phone is not unlocked.
Enable the USB debugging under the developer option setting then perform the tasks by running "One V 1.2.exe"
then follow step 1 through 5 to unlock your stock rom phone.
then your flash recovery command would not fail.

Ok decided to use TWRP b/c the All-In-One has it for CDMA and now able to access recovery. Yay. Thanks nurungji.
Next I tried to reflash CM10 version 20121108, along with Gapps and the steps I did before the stock rom like clear cache and boot.img from the zip.
But now when I reboot, the phone is stuck on the CyanogenMod load screen. I waited over 10 mins before I shutdown manually. Before the earlier stock rom, I was able to go to the "register google account" screen before the phone rebooted.
I tried to redo the whole process again like some said on other threads but keep getting the same result. I also tried the AOKP 12/05 but got a black screen.
Any advice would be appreciated.
**Update**
Took about the whole day but finally everything is working properly. The boot.img from the Tomskii didn't work. Maybe b/c it was from a PrimoU Aokp page and my phone is PrimoC.
It is currently using supersick kernel from simonsimons34. It solves the wifi problem for the CM10 version 12/20.

Hey congratulation, you are almost there. I am not sure about CM10 mod because I didn't try CM10 because the video recording didn't work at the time I was looking to try Jellybean. So I decided to use AOKP but anything after 11/19 nightly version shows just black screen ( I tried every night version)
I am currently using 11/19 version now.

So i am running the stock rom unlocked and rooted. Everything has been working fine until recently.
I wanted to flash a boot animation instead of just copy and paste with root explorer. So i booted into fastboot (volume hold then power). I then selected recovery and my phone shows the android thinking then he's flat on his back with an exclamation point above him. I followed the rootwiki for the gnex to the letter. Any ideas on whats wrong?

Afraid I can't help you but I had exactly the same issue. I used flashed the original recovery again and again but kept getting droid flat on it's back with the red exclamation mark. Finaly I decided that I found recovery imporatant enough and decided to flash CWM recovery. That gave me at least recovery back. I would prefer however getting stock recovery back. So if someone has a resolution I would be one happy camper.
Tried to flash it again and it gave me an error in adb saying faiked partition.
Any help is appreciated
Try flashing CWM with Rom Manager.
The android on his back with exclamation point is stock recovery. You have a few options: install ROM manager and flash clockworkmod through it (some people's phones need this done before each flash I think based on root process) or you can change the name of your recovery-from-boot.p file which is a file that causes ICS to revert back to stock recovery, and some have to use root explorer to change the read/write access to get clockwork to stick. I would just use ROM Manager for it. If you ever want stock recovery you can download the factory image file from Google and extract the recovery.img and use fastboot
- copy the recovery.img file to the directory that contains your fastboot utility
- start-up a terminal/command session
- put your phone into fastboot / bootloader mode
- type the following fastboot command to flash the stock recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
At least my problem is solved. The fact that droid with the red exclamation mark is stock left me searching how to get into recovery then. It appears that if you hit Volume up and power shortly when you see that image it loads stock recovery menu.
Two simple questions: I want my GN to be close to stock, haven't flashed custom rom's radio's etc. What I do want is Root and SetCPU (for power saving options during screen off), rootexplorer, Volume+ etcetera working. I've managed to put them all on, now:
If I reflash stock recovery and lock my bootloader: will they keep on working and:
If I get OTA updates: will they keep on working too?
Thanks in advance for any reply...

you can leave your phone unlocked and root with a method such as CF-Root and leave your factory recovery and OTA's will go through and install without issue. Having the bootloader unlocker doesn't effect OTA's at all. There are a some programs that claim they maintain root after OTA but even if they don't you can just re root with a program like CF-Root

Hi guys,
i've got a big problem with my HTC One X after installing Android Evolution 8 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
I cant post in the thread there so I hope this is a good place.
I unlocked and rooted the HTC succesful with clockword mod.
After that I used this instruction:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxJf8xIVVC0
So i made a backup with clockwork mod, after that i wiped all the caches as said in the video and then I installed Android Evolution 8.
After reboot i got a reboot loop, after showing the startup screen the One X reboots, again and again.
I figured out that the problem could be, that i didnt use the superwipe tool, i justed wiped as in the tutorial.
Is there a way to reset the HTC or to restore the backup and to reinstall again or can I throw the HTC away?
Ok, sorry for the thread, I had no time to wait for an answer because battery was almost empty and didnt charge, so i risked it an tried to restore the Backup in Clockwork recovery.
That worked an now the HTC works fine again.
So i ll charge it and after that I user Super wipe before I reinstall Evolution 8 again.
Maybe the thread will help somebody else one day, cheers.
Steps to get out of boot loop
Hi,
You are probably got into a boot loop because the boot.img you have on your phone is not compatible with the custom ARHD ROM or is not correctly flashed. First charge the phone upto at least 50% battery (to be safe). Then try following the steps below:
1. Download this pack>> Fastboot Pack http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1616741
2. Extract the boot.img from the Custom Rom you are trying to install in a folder on your computer.
3. Extract Fastboot Pack into a folder on your computer and replace the boot.img by the boot.img extracted from the Custom Rom in Step.2
4. Turn your phone OFF
5. Turn your phone ON in bootloader mode by holding the power and vol down buttons at the same time, your phone will start in HBOOT mode. It will be displayed somewhere in the middle of the text.
6. Use the volume keys to move up and down the list, and select Fastboot, then press the power key. Now your phone will come in FASTBOOT mode.
7. Connect your phone to the computer via USB cable. Your phone will now display USB FASTOOT instead of just FASTBOOT.
8. Run 05-erase-cache.bat
9. Run 06-flash-custom-boot.bat
10. Run 08-install-clockwork-recovery.bat
11. Disconnect the USB cable. Your phone will now again say FASTBOOT.
12. Use the up or down volume key to select HBOOT and press the power button. This will take you back to HBOOT mode.
13. Use the volume keys to scroll to RECOVERY and press the power button.
14. This will take you to Recovery mode, now you can flash the Custom Rom you want using Recovery mode.

Hi,
thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately also after using the Super wipe i've got a Bootloop after installing HD 8.1.0.
The link with the fastboot Pack doesn't work, where can I find it?
After downloading Fastboot Pack, I have to replace the boot.img in the file Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_8.1.0.zip with that one from Fastboot Pack, is that right?
Just install boot image for ARHD 8.1 that is included in thread of ARHD. This definitely boot image problem. I think you didn't flashed it. Just follow the instruction on first page.

I'm having the same problem (I think). After successfully installing the boot.img for ARHD 8.1.x, I get a bootloop trying to enter recovery mode (or trying to boot normally).
Edit: I installed ClockworkMod Recovery Touch prior to this but never tested it... Maybe that has something to do with it.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634786
And NO it is the other way round, You need to replace the boot.img in the tool by the one you get in ARHD and then run the tool. In this tool you will find a folder for boot.img which will contain one boot.img file already. Just replace that and run the tool. for HTC One X whenever you want to install a custom Rom, you need to do this.
A boot.img is normally a part of the custom Rom zip file which automatically gets flashed when you flash the rom. BUT this doesn't happen with One X due to some reason. So we need to flash the boot.img separately BEFORE flashing the ROM.
Let me know if the above helps by clickng Thanks

Hi.. What do you mean by getting a bootloop trying to enter recovery?
Which boot.img did you flash ? It should be the one which is inside the ARHD ROM zip file. So extract that and try following the steps in my reply above. If you still fail let me know the exact steps you took and issue and I will try to help.

When I try to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery (by selecting RECOVERY on the HBOOT screen), I get a boot loop. Same thing happens if I select REBOOT from the FASTBOOT screen.
Yes, I'm using the right boot.img. It's my understanding I have to install this before I can install the ROM.
To install it, I put my phone into fastboot USB mode, and ran:
Code:

fastboot erase cache
My One X is an S-ON device, btw.
Hi, it worked for me to flash the boot.img manually first

Ohh sorry I assumed your One X is S-OFF, you definitely need to do that FIRST, before going ahead with this flashing business. There is an awesome tool by hasoon2000 for doing this, which you can find here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604439

ARHD 9
I just installed ARHD 9 and followed the instructions but now when it boots up it flashes onto the homescreen for a few seconds and then reboots, does anyone have a fix? i dont have a back up either
I think fastboot erase cache might be useful.
Every ROM requires (and is packaged with) a boot.img, you need to flash the ROM and you need to flash the associated boot.img.
If you get bootloops, make sure you have flashed the correct boot.img.
If the ROM reboots after it's started, make sure you superwiped when changing bases.
Basically, do all of the steps in the instructions, without missing out any of the steps.

I have faced that issue in the past. Just flash again, follow the steps I have given before. Remember to clear the cache at the beginning, and flash the boot img that you get inside the ROM you are flashing i.e. the one inside ARHD 9. Also, before you flash the ROM, wipe data (NOT SDCARD) and dalvik cache as well.

Hi,
I've looked through a lot of threads but can't match the symptoms to mine (this could be a lack of knowledge on my part) so any help is appreciated.
I've previously flashed ARHD a number of times successfully including a new boot image. I flashed 9.2 today with CD Tools Suite and this was fine. I later decided that I wanted to re-flash without the CD Suite Tools and did this by going into recovery and re-flashing the ARHD zip.
The update ran successfully (per CWM) but I can't boot into it. All I get to is the HTC One white screen with a beats audio logo beneath it. I also can't get the phone to reboot into flashboot / recovery so that I can do anything with it (I've tried holding the power button and either vol up or down but this just reboots the phone and it goes back to the white screen again).
I'm sure there is a way out of this. Could anyone please help me?
Many thanks.

Did you use fastboot to flash the correct boot.img file first? It's my understanding that anytime you flash a rom you must flash via fastboot the correct boot.img file for that rom followed by erasing cache before entering recovery and flashing the rom.
Didn't someone say holding volume up & power can brick your phone?
Fastboot is volume down & power.
Press them at the exact same time, keep them held till fastboot loads up (even if it does another reboot)

Hi, after attempting to flash a custom ROM to my phone I'm experiencing a big problem, the phone will not boot past the HTC screen. This is obviously very frustrating as the phone is pretty much rendered useless.
I am able to get into the HBOOT menu by holding the Power button and Volume Down and from there am able to select Recovery and enter the ClockWork Mod recovery screens. As you can tell I'm a 100% noob and I really just want to revert my phone to a working state. My network is Vodafone UK. I can't find an RUU above version 3.13 which is apparently what I have (so it tries updating 3.13 to 3.13 and obviously fails).
Any help on getting my phone to work again would be very very appreciated, thanks.

Download a ROM onto your computer, connect to your phone in recovery, mount the sdcard, move the ROM from your computer onto your phone's sdcard, and flash from recovery. No need for RUU.
Dont forget to wipe.
wipe data/factory reset and format all partitions (except sd card) from recovery.
Go to bananagranolas link in her signature, you'll find everything you need there.
Thanks a lot for your help! I was attempting to flash the JellyTime ROM which I understand must have failed to result in my phone not booting properly. Should I flash a stock ROM or will any ROM suffice?

As long as you are S-OFF and have a custom recovery (CMW or 4EXT) you are able to flash any custom rom you like. Just make sure that you make a full wipe before the flashing (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format system or in 4ext recovery just choose format all partitions except sdcard).
That should leave you up and running again.
Okay great!
I used the HTCDev tools to unlock my boot loader which I understand is different to S-OFF? Could that be while the ROM flashing failed originally?
EDIT: Upon trying to flash the JellyTime AKOP Rom I get a message saying install from SD card complete but it's still stuck at the HTC screen...

If you have an unlocked bootloder, then you have to flash the rom (previous full wipe of course) then reboot bootloader (from advanced options in CWM) and then in fastboot (you should see fastboot usb in red in the phone when plugged to the pc) you have to flash the boot.img inside the rom zip folder.
Extract that file only (not the whole rom) and from a cmd session or terminal as root (located where the boot.img file is) type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once that is done (you will get OKAY. finished near the bottom) you can reboot normally by typing in cmd fastboot reboot or choosing reboot from hboot.
My bootloader now says RELOCKED, how can I unlock it again? (I'm really sorry about this)

Use the token HTC sent you when u unlocked it. and typing in cmd the fastboot unlock command.
Okay done that, thanks a lot!
I'm now looking in the advanced options of CWM, I can see the option "Reboot Recovery" but no "Reboot Bootloader"?

Okay, I wiped all partitions, installed JellyTime AOKP, restarted, went into fastboot, extracted/flash boot file and the rebooted phone.
The phone will now progress from the HTC screen but is now stuck on a black screen, Windows tried to install drivers but failed....

Was the boot.img file flashed successfully?
Yes it said so...
EDIT: Not sure if this is an issue with the ROM of if I'm doing something wrong? I went to the "mounts and storage" section of CWM and clicked all the format options accept sdcard. I then installed ROM, went into fastboot and flashed boot.img, it said OKAY twice then finished. Still stuck at black, backlit screen after HTC screen. ROM is JellyTime by randomblame.

that is weird. Try flashing a different rom then and see what happens. flash the boot image first and then the the rom in recovery.

I've just tried flashing the boot image first and then installing JellyTime AOKP, same black screen. Maybe I should try a Gingerbread ROM? That's the Operating system I had before, is there a known working ROM?

EDIT: well, don't I feel stupid. I knew full well from reading that your phone wasn't working, but posted a link to an app. Just not paying attention. Sorry about that.
VBQ24,
You can go back to stock by flashing a stock RUU from your PC.
(Edit: You should relock your bootloader first. you can do so from Hboot. There's an option that says relock bootloader or something like that)
The version of the RUU should be equal or greater to the version that came with your phone. Try this v3.13
However, if you want to flash a custom ROM:
You need to downgrade your device first, get s-off and root, then flash a custom ROM
You need to use the Advanced Ace Hack Kit (AAHK), get it from here.
Make sure to read the manual (called 'effin manual) word by word. There are instructions on how to downgrade.
Follow the instructions, and if you have any questions, ask here.
Hi All,
Been having issues with my HTC One X for the past week now and haven't been able to solve it via google or searching this forum, so was hoping one of you kind people can assist a bit.
I do apologise if this issue has already been posted and I missed it, if you can link me I'll be eternally grateful.
Basically, had a few issues annoying me with my HTC so wanted to stick a custom ROM on it. Did some searching about, eventually got a plan together to unlock and root it. All went fine, unlocked it (S-On still) got TWRP recovery on it (Chose this as the ROM I was looking at claimed to be not compatible with CWR) and was booted back into my stock droid.
First thing I did after a successful boot was to go back into recovery and make a full backup (I may have not ticked the Cache and _android.secure)
Played about with the phone again a bit, getting some of the apps back on as it had been wiped, then made a second backup (This one I know I ticked all the boxes for)
Next I tried putting CleanROM on, but could get past the white HTC screen boot loop, after various reflashing the Boot.IMG and clearing cache, so fired up TWRP and restored back to my second backup. All back to normal.
Used the phone as normal for a day or so then I tried flashing another ROM (ViperX) same thing as CleanROM (White HTC screen boot loop) and then went on to try Team Baked's ROM. Managed to get this working successfully, however the ROM was not to my liking and decided to go back to my stock backup. Here's where the issue started.
Now, when restoring the backup the phone boots as far as displaying my background and the status bar at the top, however I cannot pull the status bar down and the ring to unlock the phone with doesn't appear. It sits here for a few second and then reboots. Boot loop.
I've tried clearing cache, restoring various different ways and restoring the boot.img (though I'm not sure I have the right one) but nothing works.
The last variation I tried for restoring involved:
1. Clearing the phone via TWRP (System Restore/Clear Cache/Clear Davik/Clear System/Clear SD Card (heard this can cause issues)/Clearing Android.Secure in that order)
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Repeat step 1 (in case of locked files)
4. Reboot into Recovery
5. full restore (With MD5 check enable)
6. Clear Cache and Dalvik (Tried with just cache, also done Fastboot clear cache in another attempt)
7. Attempt to boot into OS.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm not sure if I have the right boot.IMG for my phone Model/kernal/other, to be honest I'm not entirely sure of the requirements. The details of my phone I've collected so far are:
Getvar version-main (Not sure if this is kernal or what) = 2.17.771.3
hBoot = 1.12.0000
radio = 2.1204.135.20H
CID = H3G_001
Basically, as far as I can tell from the masses of reading I've been doing, I won't be able to update to custom JB for a while so want to get back to my stock ICS and then OTA to JB when my carrier releases their version, then maybe sometime in the future when the ROM specific to my phone has been cracked consider switching to a custom.
on a final note, I've tried flashing both my backups, same result. I've also tried restoring the stock recovery and doing a system recovery with that. It appears to go through the motions (phone with green arrows? Also had the red exclamation mark, but only once of the 3 attempts) then reboots and it's still the same issue.
Thanks for reading through, any advice would be much appreciated. Used to love my phone but now can barely stand to look at it.
Cheers,
Sean
Ok, so I've now downloaded a different boot.img which should be for stock ics and after flashing that, then flashing stock recovery and doing a system restore via bootloader I will 50% of the time get the lock screen and when I unlock it I see the white HTC screen of the initial setup, then it sticks there a while and reboots. It also reboots after left at the lock screen.
To me this seems like it's doing a check or looking for a certain piece of software/file that's missing but is required to finish the start-up process. Anyone any ideas?
Even if someone can point me in the right direction for an RRU for my phone as football's RRU's seem to be the only one that has the one I need but as of 5 days before all this happened the site they're hosted on doesn't allow 500+MB downloads for free members
Cheers,
Sean
**EDIT** Just done a full device wipe then restored only the SYSTEM partition and manually flashed the boot, then when I restarted it sat on the white HTC on the device setup but eventually loaded up, allowed me to complete the device setup and then loaded into the OS. All seemed fine aside from the phone being stuck in turning off airplane mode. Rebooted it to see if that would clear it up and now I'm back to bootloops before the lock screen appears (I just get my background and status bar)
So you have a nandroid backup ! Then do this
Wipe all in recovery and i mean ALL except the sdcard obvious ! system,data,caches,dalvik cache...
Then boot back into fastboot usb mode and flash the boot.img from the nandroid. Taken with TWRP the boot.img is called something like
Emmc.boot.win (or at least similar to this)
You can flash this file with fastboot command
Fastboot flash boot name of the boot.img (.win in this case)
Then enter the recovery and full wipe if you didn't o that already !
Restore the nandroid and boot it up :thumbup:
Should work
Perfect! Thanks so much man, I never even thought to flash the .wim, thought it had to be .img. Just successfully booted fully back into my old system. Hopefully will stay stable the next hour or so but looking good!
Thanks again,
Sean

Yes, the one came with Android_Fastboot_KIT_V12.x
And make sure you flash a 2.17 based ICS rom. You can not run the maximus JB rom on that 1.12 hboot !

I have forget to mention my device still S-ON
Please guide, sorry for troubling.
Download a 2.17 ics Rom and copy it to the phone (mount the sdcard within the recovery as a usb disk)
Take the boot.img file from that rom and copy it to the tool you used to flash it
Then enter the recovery and wipe EVERYTHING except sdcard ofcourse !!! (Cache,dalvik cache, system and data)
Then install the Rom.zip

No problem mate ! :thumbup:
If you're looking for a Rom, I've got hboot 1.12 as well and tried a few ROMs and only ones I got working were:
Team Baked, based on jellybean though still works with 1.12. No Sense though, and a few things weren't to my liking (to name a couple,backlights on buttons didn't work and multitask button was switched back to menu button like in older devices)
SkyDragon, ics ROM with sense. Only had this a short while but appeared to be an exact stock ROM, everything working the way it should, and with a few added extra improvements.
Good luck

Yes.
Copy the boot.img from the backup to your PC (you can mount SD card as USB from TWRP), flash it:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
And restore backup from TWRP.
Yeah, if you follow Mr hofs 1st post on the 1st page he describes all the steps required to restore. Worked perfectly for me

Thanks alot, got it back as it was before.
Need to clear a doubt; will I be able to update my device with the OTA, as my device is unlocked, S-ON & TWRP installed?
I hope so, I'm in the same boat as you. From what I've been reading, it should still be possible as long as you put back the stock recovery and relock the bootloader.
This website offers links to download the stock recovery
http://www.androidauthority.com/one-x-revert-stock-recovery-76854/
As for relocking the bootloader, I think the process is to run this command whilst in Fast Boot USB mode
fastboot oem lock
After it's run there should be a purple "RELOCKED" at the top of your bootloader menu.
Remember to flash the recovery BEFORE you relock the bootloader
You do not have to lock the bootloader, just the stock recovery is needed ....
Stock rom (out of the box stock)
Stock boot.img
Stock recovery
Here is the 2.17 based stock recovery for those who needs it
