Hi
Would it be possible for me to do the above without having to connect my phone to my laptop every time?
I know I have would have to load the boot.img first from a cmd window whenever i wanted to try a new rom, but was just wondering if I'd have to do that with it already on the internal sd card.
Any help would be appreciated.

Unless the backup you're restoring uses the same boot.img as the one you're using you will need to flash the one from your backup (using fastboot) when you restore it.
Recovery doesn't have permission to write to the boot partition; this means whether you're flashing a ROM or a backup from recovery the boot.img won't be written and you'll have to do it manually.

Hello
My friend bricked his HTC One X by formatting /system/ in CWM. Now I am trying to restore his phone. I relocked bootloader and flashed stock recovery. Now I need an RUU.
When I type fastboot getvar version-main it shows the version as 3.14.771.34 Can someone tell me which RUU should I download?
Thanks for your help!
I also have CM10 zip file but I can not push it to his SD card because adb does not detect the phone.
There is no RUU with that version ! Go here and download and restore the nandroid backup

Unlock the phone and flash the custom recovery back, then mount the sdcard as a mass storage device and copy the backup over. Flash the boot.img and perform a full wipe in the recovery and restore the nandroid.
Can you please give me the custom recovery img file so that I can mount SD card in recovery mode?
sure

I already flashed this one but when I mount USB storage, nothing happens
strange....mounted as usb storage in the mounts & storage menu (last option?) otherwise try the latest TWRP ....
Yes, I did that! Link to TWRP please? Is it flashable from fastboot?
yes it is...like a normal recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622925
but strange that it is not recognized by the pc ! did you reboot the pc once....just to refresh
Yes, I did. I will try this and come back here. Thanks
I restored the nandroid backup but the phone stays on HTC logo. I browsed the files using Aroma File manager in CWM and I saw that there is no app folder in /system/ It has only bin folder. What should I do? Please note that the bootloader is unlocked.
Thanks
Did you flashed the boot.img from the nandroid ? Redownload the nandroid maybe, check the thread if anything is said about it ?
What have I done :
1. CID HTC__044 downloaded
2. Boot into fastboot and plug into USB
3. fastboot the img provided
4. Boot into recovery
Right after that, there is an icon showing a phone and a warning sign while booting into recovery (what I understood the recovery fails). Did I miss something?
That's the stock recovery, that's needed when you restored the stock rom with the custom recovery

OK, can you tell me the correct way to revert back to stock?
I did these also :
1. Downloaded 4.19.707.3_HTC__044_stock.rar file
2. Extract the file
3. Go into the folder
4. Boot into Fastboot
5. Flash the recovery.img (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
6. Flash the boot.img (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
7. Go to Factory Reset
8. Go to Wipe cache partition - Yes
9. Go to Advanced - Wipe Dalvik cache - Yes
10. Go to Mounts and Storage - Formats cache, data and systems - Yes
What's next?

I think I lost with that one (restore stock nandroid backup). What is the steps to do that? Tried this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140 but stuck at
2- Now From your PC create a folder in the root of the storage and call it "clockworkmod"
3- In the "clockworkmod" folder create another folder named "backup"

Hello, I flashed PA 4.4.4 on my i9250 and now I wanted to go back to 4.3. Unfortunately I have a problem because my 4.3 backup isn't visible anymore, directories are messed up by 4.4.4. Found a way to make it visible (had to put an old backup to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/) but I get an error while trying to restore it. I even flashed my previous cwm and installed cm 10 (the one that I've got my last backup from) but now all i get is a bootloop... I think it's caused by messed directories. How to get rid of those f***ing 0 emulated location?
1. Download JB factory image for your NExus from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
2. In the recovery make swipe data/factory reset
3. power off and boot into fastboot mode...
3. Flash system partition through fastboot. (You need Fastboot drivers for Windows..) (system.img):
fastboot flash system system.img
and flash boot.img :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
4. Boot.
Nb. You have to extract the img files from the zip package.. if you want you can use flash all batch file (.bat) or script file (.sh) (depends of the OS...) but if you use it, then it'll flash everything automatically and wipes everything from the phone.
Hm I hoped that will do without going back to stock. I suppose this operation will relock my bootloader?

Only fastboot oem lock command locks your nexus's boot loader.
About "0" and some other directories, these are new on JB 4.2 or 4.3... you can remove them but it's useless... so I recommend to keep them.. 0 is like the current user,, for e.g 3 is the second user (multi user)...
CWM backups: I am not really sure... you can remove md5 stuff and maybe recovery lets you flash the files.. Also use the recovery with what you made the backup if newer CWM recoveries won't flash it
Hell yeah! Finally got it done. This it how:
1. flashed an old recovery (the one that I've got my last backup from) but still got a bootloop with an old cm10.
2. installed the newest working wersion of CM just to put my backup into different directory and make it visible (make sure you copy both folders with a date of your backup AND blobs because without the latter one it won't restore giving you an error)
3. voila, you've got a fully restored system
Thanks Carlos_Manuel for your help
Hello Everyone, pretty new to this community.
I have been fixing and flashing stuffs for pretty long time and found XDA brings out alot of help for me reading comments and guides.
I'm having problems with mounting the SD-Card, i remember i had in the past CWM recovery that i could actually mount successfully without having any drivers issues (Windows 7 Home Premium) when trying to Mount the SD-Card.
Now even the latest CWM or TWRP recoveries, i can't mount the SD-Card.
Why i want Mount it via Recovery?
Because i deleted the OS and i'm trying to put on my SD-Card a Stock Nanroid Backup for it since there is no RUU.exe out there for the HTC One X International with CID : T-MOB101 that i can flash via fastboot.
What i tried to do is, from fastboot flashing a random ROM that hopefully i will be able to mount SD-Card on that ROM.
I tried this :
fastboot flash boot boot.img (that i took out from that ROM.zip)
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ROM.zip
Don't really know if its possible doing it that way, but i gave it a try that i head in my head.
I know i'm supposed to do it via Recovery Mode, but i can't even insert files there since the HTC One X has a build memory which makes lifes harder.
That's my phone details :
Code:
ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.72.0000
CPLD-None
MICROP-None
RADIO-5.1204.163U2.31
eMMC-bootmode: disabled
CPU-bootmode : disabled
HW Secure boot : enabled
MODEM PATCH : OFF
Jun 21 2014,18:24:41
CID : T-MOB101
Its a Germany Phone version if you wondering.
So i'm wondering if there is a way that i could push the files of the Nanroid backup to my phone?(Reminding again, i have no Software running. can't mount SD-Card via Recovery Mode, and SD-Card is clean.)
Or if anyone here somehow have a good old recovery CWM version that can mount the SD-Card that i could give it a shot.
I can replace the USB port though, but it won't help.
Thanks in advance.

After a bit pain with drivers error when mounting SD-Card with Philz recovery, that actually successfully Mounted my SD-Card
Thanks a tons for that. +1 for you.
Now i'm moving to the second step of this topic, the flashing errors.
I will post some photos here to be more clear about my steps.
I went to This Website and got my Stock Nanroid Backup to T-MOB101 cid number for CWM and TWRP just in case :
M7 CWM Nandroid Backup CID T-MOB101 1.28.111.6 2013-03-29
M7 TWRP Nandroid Backup CID T-MOB101 2.24.111.3
After i got them, i checked MD5 of course, and putted them inside the SD-Card where the backups should be.
Then i flashed CWM recovery and tried to restore the CWM Stock Nanroid Backup with an "error Flashing Boot Image" :
So i tried to do the same proccess with TWRP Recovery with an error "Unable to extract tar archive" :
Then i also tried doing it with Philz recovery, and same error as CWM :
So i saw that i got no more hope, then i tried to use an old Nanroid Backup that i have made to my phone before, so i putted inside the phone, and when i tried to restore my Nanroid backup, it actually did work, BUT, after it says "Restore Completed" :
I went to reboot my phone that hopefully i will see the phone loading up, but i guess not, bring me back to fastboot screen :
It wasn't even making a sign of loading software, when i boot my phone up, it automatically brings me to Fastboot mode.
Same with Philz Recovery :
And same story with TWRP recovery.
I was thinking its related to the boot.img that i get that error because of that file, so i also tried to replace that boot.img with the Old Nandroid Backup that it actually allow the restore process begin with it with the Stock Nandroid Backup, but same error.
Kinda feeling lost, hopefully someone can help me out with this please.

So after digging more in forums, i found out that link Nandroid Backups.
So i have tried all the RUU's and Nandroid for my Cid Number, and all of them worked except the RUU's.exe and with flashing the Nandroid Backups, my phone got into bootloops.
But there were 2 kind of Nandroid backups that actually worked which are :
1. T-Mobile DE 3.14.111.28 [CWM]
MD5: af82f0cfb8aa61b670c59e0308a55582
2. T-Mobile DE 3.14.111.27 [TWRP]
MD5: f6a67adb8ad51ca9f55760be31ed5e49
All seems good, BUT(always BUT unfortunately ) the touch screen not function at all when it loads up.
That's the reason i tried both of them, to flash with TWRP and then with CWM.
Seems like i'm able to flash correctly only the version : 3.14.111.2- , no clue why others didn't work properly.
Something i might suspect of, that it skips one of the files when flashing Nandroid backup as you can see below :
"Volume not found! Skipping restore of /sd-ext."
I also tried to get a Nandroid backup from Here and it doesn't work also.
So if i got to that point where my phone actually bootup and load the software with these :
HTML:
1. T-Mobile DE 3.14.111.28 [CWM]
MD5: af82f0cfb8aa61b670c59e0308a55582
2. T-Mobile DE 3.14.111.27 [TWRP]
MD5: f6a67adb8ad51ca9f55760be31ed5e49
The question is, how will i be able to fix the touch screen issue's?
If i will be able to fix that issue, i will run all updates until i get to the latest version of HTC One X of my Cid Number.
I think that's the last step for me for this topic, just to solve the touch problem that not function at all.
Thank alot for the help.

You are with too high HBOOT 1.72 and the tuch never will work on 3.14 base only after 3.20 base will work. The tuch work in Philz recovery but not work in your nand backup 3.14.11.x because your HBOOT is too high.Search newer nand backup for your base or install custom rom. You can see your main version with the command fastboot getvar version-main and search for nandroid with this numbers where you see after runing the command

fastboot flash boot boot.img , in case the phone is stuck on HTC screen.
Here is a topic i was reading and the comments that this guy seem to pretty much handle the same issue as i do atm :
Another thing that got me thinking after you told me that touch doesn't work because HBOOT doesn't match to these old versions is,
Downgrading the HBOOT, but as much as i know, you can't really downgrade your HBOOT unless you have S-OFF, which is impossible on the HTC One X International since the mmcblk file in the system, is a huge file that build in that hold the Cid Number and i can't really pull it out of the phone and modify it with Hex Editor and then put it back for changing my Cid in order to reach S-OFF.
So to downgrade my HBOOT i assume it won't work since i can't get S-OFF.
I kind of want to get back to the Stock ROM after checking some ROM's for that phone, i got the idea of it and figure out that the original is much faster and better to work comparing to the ROM's.
Can you recommend about any ROM that you had experience with, with that HTC One X ? I'm kind of curious more, since so far, i seem not to be successful bringing back my HTC One X International to Stock ROM.
So what else could come up in your mind?
