How did you revert to stock to use ota? I've been using mikes stock rom on my brothers hox but it always shows no updates. Can you please explain the procedure in detail, what rom were you running before updating and what you did to update?
His cid is VODAP021, phone bought at vodafone but optus sim is inside.

Well you find a RUU for your HTC device and use that. You must have stock recovery.

New all that already but thanks anyway. Thought there was something else. It's kinda difficult to go back to stock since the right ruu for my brothers phone is only hosted on filefactory and requires a premium account. If someone has this ruu: RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_Voda-Hutch_AU_2.17.862.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_275359_signed.exe and could provide a no-premium-account-needed link, that would be most helpful.

I use mike's roms too, I think he blocks the update option so you don't even see it.
1. Download the Nandroid Backup form here. And install it via recover/ touch recovery.
2. Install stock recovery via fastboot, I used the Stock HTC Recovery 1.26-1.29 (wasn't sure which one mine was to start with) get the download also from here.
3. Relock bootloader Via HTC DEV
4. Now you have everything stock, do OTA via the setup/abouts/update menu.
5. Unlock bootloader Via HTC DEV
6. Install Touch Recovery
7. Install mike's roms

You can skip step 3. Bootloader doesn't change so no need to relock and unlock again (saves lots of time).

Been trying to find the Stock RUU or Nandroid for the past week, but no luck.
I will greatly appreciate if you could share your Stock Nandroid Backup please.

So I just flashed my phone for the first time yesterday with a new rom and now I want to try the official OTA 1.28. How can I do that ? Should I flash the official 1.28 rom using the CWM recovery ?

As you have Clockwork installed you cannot update OTA. If you want the 1.28 update now then you would need to relock your bootloader, flash the 1.26 RUU and then update OTA.
Otherwise you will just have to wait for the devs to update there roms with the new base.
Also waiting for an answer, im thinking maybe flashing a stock then relocking the bootloader should do it?
Annoying is it not!
Ok so i think i'll wait for the devs to update their roms. ty for your answer

Yep Bronco (mod for CWM thread) has confirmed
-reflash stock recovery
- relock
- restore RUU
you can still unlock and reflash CWM after that so I'm gonna do that, as long as I got my titanium its not too bad, just a bit lengthy

The above info is incorrect. You do not need to flash the stock recovery as the RUU will do this anyway. So just relock bootloder and run the RUU.
Hi all,
I unlocked my boot loader and flashed clockworkmod Recovery V5.8.2.7.
I just received the update from HTC:
1.28.720.10 to 1.29.720.10 for Asia India. When clicking on the file to update, the phone reset itself and the clockworkmod recovery screen appeared with an error.
So I was unable to update the phone.
I have uploaded a screenshot with all the info.
The phone is an HTC One X unlocked version bought from amazon (Made in India)
I am not sure what other information is required so if you need anything just let me know and I will update.
You need to flash a stock recovery prior OTA update. The update will fail with a CWM recovery installed.

Flash a custom rom instead. Most devs have all the latest OTA updates in there builds anyway. As soon as a new OTA update is available then the Devs will update there roms.

If you would like to stay with stock kernel and ROM, there is no other way.
Even if you choose to flash a custom ROM, you will need to do these steps anytime you would like to go back to stock ROM delivered in the form of an RUU.
See this thread for installing RUU's after custom ROM
Can you recommend a decent guide how to flash a custom rom and a good custom rom to use.
Thank you all for your quick responses.

You can find what's available in this sticky thread.
As for recommending, I would suggest you check out the OP pages for different ROMs and read up on the latest posts in each thread. This will give you an idea on what the ROM looks like, the features it supports and the level of support you will be getting for each ROM.

NO. Your phone should have the original recovery on it and, if it's unlocked, it has to be relocked to get the RUU to install.

Dear Team,
I just got my hox which was updated to the latest Asia - India 1.29.xxx (forgot the last digits) however i rooted the same using one click rooting method, post which the phone was rebooting everytime i was playing any music file.
So i went to the recovery and tried clearing cache/sdcard/system/etc but that didn't help, then i tried formatting the sdcard/system and post that my phone is stuck on the boot screen.
Now i tried doing everything mentioned on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609190&highlight=disaster
However, it seems that only solution for me is to go back to stock, but my problem is the RUU which is not available on the link mentioned in that post...: http://www.filefactory.com/f/7cc7b2fbdd03c031/
So i am kindda stuck here...any help would be highly appreciated!

The digits of the rom version number that you have forgotten are vital if anyone is to assist you in finding the RUU number.
If you can provide them, I will be able to find it for you (If it exists).
You can find your software version no. by going to bootloader, fastboot mode
And type : fastboot getvar version-main
This is mine as example:
C:\fastboot>fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 1.29.707.11
finished. total time: 0.007s
And for Asia-India usually is 1.2x.720.xx

Yes you can use other indian boot files. Check your pc whether you have yoour nandroid backup , just flash the boot.img file if you have it.
Else ask any other indian who has nadroid backup of 1.29.

You need to relock your bootloader (if you haven't already) and run THIS RUU.
The problem is that the version of software you're running (2.17) is newer than the RUU you're trying to install (1.29). you can't revert to an older RUU. you can only flash the same version or newer.
Once you've flashed the RUU, you'll be able to download and install the JB OTA.

You don't need stock recovery to flash an RUU. You just need a locked or relocked bootloader, and a less or equal main-version.
Once you run an RUU, you will have stock everything(including recovery) and will be able to install whatever OTAs are available.
Well I am currently running Team Venom's Viper but I have HBOOT 1.31. My device's CID is HTC_J15.
I have checked the list of RUUs but unfortunately all of them are older than the version I need, which has to be 3+.
Does anybody know if there's an RUU available for my device? It is an ubranded WWE version, 401 if I remember correctly.

In my experience the 2.17.707.xx RUU Asia WWE does not work properly. It does its thing installing everything, relocks the bootloader but somehow it does not reflash the recovery. After 4 hours trying everything under the sun, I gave up and looked for a nandroid of 2.17 for CID_044 and restored from that, reflashed stock recovery and went to town with the OTA.
That's very strange, no such problem when I did the same thing. You'd think it would throw an error or something if a component of the image failed to flash.
Glad you managed to figure it out!
Did you run it when your bootloader was unlocked? Maybe that's the problem? I ran it with the bootloader relocked and didn't ahve any problems. I was under the impression you couldn't run an RUU with an unlocked bootloader, but haven't tried it myself.
Refer custom to stock thread posted earlier. Go through step by step procedure. It will help u to be on stock Rom. After that flash any Rom suitable to your CID only

Only Reboot the phone...wait to initialize completely, then reboot again, when came a little update about 1.25mb...installed and reboot...after that...JB update installed correctly.
If someone else needs...Someone like me who relocked the phone waiting for JB and Has problems
1. Unlock Phone
2. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (from nandroid 2.17)
3. fastboot flash boot boot.img (from nandroid 2.17)
4. fastboot erase cache
5. restart bootloader (I like to do this way)
6. Install RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.17.707.3_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed on windows
7. Wait to boot completely, then restart phone.
8. Update Software ...a little update came before JB. (about 1.25mb)
9 Reboot phone.
10. Update Software... finally to JB.

The RUU ran with no problem, and it relocked my bootloader, but it still did not receive any OTAs. So I had no choice but to do a nandroid restore instead (recommended anyway )
Hi everyone ,
Here is my problem, I bought a french htc one m8 with orange carrier, I unlocked my bootloader and installed phil's touch recovery and then I flashed skydragon rom 4.4.2 with htc sense 6 but now I would like to flash the last skydragon lollipop but here's my problem , I can't go s-off with this rom so I can't update my firmware or change my CID, so I can't install lollipop rom without wifi's problem. I would like to know how can I do to update my firmware to 4.4.4 cause I tried to s-off with firewater but doesn't work too.
Anyone have a solution would be a god to me ^^

Firewater doesn't work anymore. HTC patched the exploit.
You'll have to use SunShine S-Off. It costs $25, but is guaranteed to work or you don't pay.
Having S-Off is totally worth $25 IMO.
Here's a link to their website.

Go to this thread. It has a collection of stock backups you can falsh to get back your stock ROM.
It also has a collection of stock recoveries to flash with ADB if you need that.
All the instructions are there.

Firmware is something separate. That link will get you back to stock ROM. Then use Sunshine to s off. After that, you can update your firmware.

The stock recoveries or in that link too. I'm not sure if you need them for sunshine though. Try with custom recovery, if that doesn't work, get a stock recovery.
Or get both ROM and recovery stock, then reflash a custom recovery and ROM.
If you get both to stock, you shouldn't have any issues.

Firmware updates. If you have one fresh out of the box, Firewater would probably still work. And still does for some.

First, I misunderstood your earlier question. Yes the number in front of the backups are for firmware.
To help you more, I'll need some information. Hook up your phone to your computer and start ADB. Then issue these commands:
adb reboot fastboot (wait till your phone boots into fastboot)
fastboot getvar all
Then post what the readout says here, but edit out your serial number (serialno) and IMEI for your own safety.
Then I'll be able to give you a little more guidance.

Your CID is ORANG202 and your firmware is 1.54.73.5, so you will need the backup that corresponds with that.
The backup available was made with TWRP recovery. So you'll need that. (In my opinion, TWRP is a better recovery, less issues)
You could go to their website to download it and get instructions on how to flash it, but there is a much easier way.
Go to the Play Store and install an app called TWRP Manager. Hit the three line menu thingy on the top left, and pick "Install TWRP".
After that go back to the stock backup thread and flash the backup that matches your CID and firmware.

My friend has made a comprehensive guide on firmware and firmware flashing, complete with downloads. Make sure to read the whole opening post so you understand everything. It looks like it might be hard because of his full explanation of the whole process, but it's actually very easy. And very informative.
