To update my HTC One X (Tegra) when the next OTA comes along, I'm going to need my current recovery partition.
Until then, I'd like to run clockwork mod.
I've been trying to boot up CWM (recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img - and the non-touch version) using
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Which, I believe will allow me to backup the current recovery partition via the nandroid option. I dont want to fastboot flash recovery until I have the current one backed up. It doesn't work anyway, it just freezes on the white HTC into screen.
The phone was rooted before the current OTA, but /system/xbin/su has been removed and none of the apps can use it for root privileges.
If I could get into CWM I could reinstall /system/xbin/su easily.
Am I missing something really basic here? I'm still learning about all the android root business.
I dont really want to rely on extracting one from an RUU that might take ages to find and download, and one for my exact region/version might not be leaked.
Why would you backup your recovery if there are img's of the official ones. If you wanna use stock recovery after cwm, you can simply download and flash stock recovery.
Here you can get stock Jb recovery;

I wasn't sure that just any stock recovery would be OK to OTA upgrade from. I've updated a few times and it fails if I dont find the correct version for my firmware (previously the recoveries were versions 1.28, 1.29 etc.)
The page you linked has roms hosted on androidrevolution.nl, when I upgraded a few weeks ago I couldn't find the version I needed on that site (2.17.401.2). Or rather it had been taken down.
Here you have the stock 2.17 recovery

Thanks, but that's not what Im looking for.
The particular one I'm after is 3.14.401.27
Is there somewhere that keeps an archive of all these without having to download the RUUs for them?
Edit: when I said 2.17 I was talking about the LAST time I updated - sorry for the confusion.
Oke !
Here you have the 3.14
http://db.tt/C1SWP2ZJ
Thank you very much Mr Hofs,
Can I ask where you got these from?
Just so I dont have to bother people in future for recovery roms.
I found them in the stickies under the android dev section....there are many different tuts and guides ....
Now i stored them in my dropbox to help people out in here .... Its faster and i don't have to search anymore
maybe this is what your looking for. http://d-h.st/users/ClydeB1/?fld_id=8386#files

So I was wondering how I can return my HTC Desire (CDMA) to stock. I have an OTA update that I got from my friend's desire I also have a nandroid backup of the original sense.
Is there any way to convert the OTA update so it is a flashable zip I can use on CWM?
The other thing is can anyone help me if I post the update?

Flash the downgrader from Alpharev (if necessary), then either use the appropriate RUU or restore your nandroid backup from recovery.

If I had an RUU that would make it simple but all I have is an OTA update. And I saw somewhere that I can't really flash an OTA update with CWM. Also restoring the nandroid from recovery would look stock but it will still have root. I am just trying to get it back to factory stock rom and recovery with no root.
Looking at the files in the OTA there is a firmware.zip that has a new hboot, recovery and radio. But I am just not sure and where to start for creating a flashable zip with the OTA.
I uploaded the OTA I have if anyone can help me create a flashable zip or just tell me what to do. http://www.4shared.com/file/0b8ls5sf/OTA_Bravo_C_S_UTSTARCOM_WWE-Ge.html
Before you do that... ask yourself what could possibly be the most important question before you take the chance of breaking your phone: "What's the point?"

I don't want to flash a rooted OTA I have an OTA that my carrier pushed out for 2.2 update. I want to create a flashable zip with the OTA that I can use in CWM to remove root and restore the phone to stock and possibly the recovery as well.

Then that is not the way to procede..You cant flash non-rooted OTAs on CWM..Well, you can, but it will just bungle up the whole setup.. What you can do is to flash an RUU and revert it to stock, then flash the OTA with the stock recovery to get it update

My carrier never distributed the RUU, which was why I was asking if there was any way to do it with the OTA. I can get my hands on a phone with a stock recovery, if there is any way to extract it from the phone using ADB

No. That's impossible.. Well there was a way, if you'd thought about it earlier...to create a backup after a revolutionary S-off, then do whatever you want with the phone..and then finally when you wanted to restore, you could have restored the unrooted backup, then stock recovery and then finally Stock Hboot in that order... But now, there will no way other than to use an RUU of another carrier.

Well I do have a unrooted backup but the only recovery that I have is the one in the OTA. Would it be possible to install that recovery and still be able to do an update using the OTA file?
Best course of action would be to restore your backup, followed by the following in order:
Prerequisites: S-off, Goldcard, An RUU confirmed to work with your device (Any region/WWE).
Steps:
Restore your backup with CWM. Ensure that it boots.
Extract recovery.img from the stock RUU (which should be working on your device normally)
In fastboot mode, and after going to the dir containing fastboot.exe (from sdk):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-recovery
Ensure that recovery works.
Then, using the hboot.img from the RUU,
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
(the hboot extension may not be .img in the zip. Probably it's .nb0. Rename it)
Dont use OTA files at any point. You can update with it after successfully returning to stock with your backup.
Flashing hboot should be the last thing you do..Once the stock hboot makes you S-on, fastboot commands become inaccessible to you.
Thanks for the info, I think I am finally on track now. I was able to restore back to stock sense and was finally able to fix my mms issues(ro.cid problems after using unrevoked). Now I just need to figure out which ruu to take the recovery and hboot from.
I did find the alltel bravo_c ruu on shipped-roms.com hopfully that will work. Is there any sure way to know if the recovery will work or not on my phone?
I am with GCI its a local carrier in Alaska. I remember from my hero that alltel and my carrier had some similarities, along with cellsouth
Edit:
I just finished downloading the Alltel RUU and the HBOOT looks to be the same version. Also the Radio listed in the file name is the same as I currently have.
So I guess it is pretty safe to say that this recovery and hboot will work with my phone right?
The only sure way is to flash it. However make sure that the RUU is relatively new and has a version number greater than 1.2 and that you flash GSM one if you're on GSM, and CDMA if it's a CDMA phone.
bravoc=CDMA
bravo=GSM
Dont mix these...otherwise you'll end up with a black screen and a panic attack
There's another method to find if RUU is compatible, which is to open the zip and read the text file inside..See my Desire Unbricking guide and Goldcard FAQ link
Well I got it all back to stock, I still have s-off but everything else is stock and the latest FW my carrier pushed out.
I was having a problem using fastboot to flash the recovery so I just made a PB99IMG.zip to flash the recovery then everything else(hboot radio) everything is working fine thanks for all the help!
Does any one know How I can install JB? I have unlocked and installed custom room. I relocked the phone but can't return to stock as there is no ruu available for my software version. I have the ota update on my phone but when I try to install it doesn't work.
Ideas?

There is a thread in here (it's quite new) somewhere on backups for different versions, which you might be able to install.
There is another thread on using an older RUU, extracting the ROM and boot.img, and installing them (I think).
Ultimately you want to get to 2.17, 2.18 was unofficial, so I suspect the OTA will only apply to 2.17.
Edit: I might be making that up, maybe 2.18 was official.

I think The OTA is official, its from HTC and i downloaded to my phone ota. It was my phone that adviused me on the update The version is 3.18.751 on the update. Every time i try to load the update it goes to the fastboot screen and wont let me install the update.
2.18.751 is official, release not long after 2.17 OTA. It contained small fixes for taiwan chungwa's One X. If I am not wrong, it doesn't update hboot and recovery version, affecting ROM only.
For OP:-
Best options was using your nandroid backup.
OR
Grab the firmware.zip inside 3.14.751.20's OTA, then flash it like how they did to .401.
OR
There are a custom RUU that can help you convert your phone to taiwan unbranded CID (709) then receive 3.14.709.20 OTA. Your CID will change to HTC_621. You will need unlock bootloader for this method.

I flashed the recovery image off the OTA update. Im now in 3.14.751.20
I will say i made an error and luckily i didn't brick my phone.
Bacislly i followed the steps from the link above on the video placeing the the official images in the relevant folders instead of custom ones.
I didn't place the correct files on my SD so after doing perm root the phone was locked on a screen(never seen it before so dont know what to call it). Then i realised i hadn't put the files on sd luckily when i reset the phone it turned on and then i downloaded the update and it installed perefctly.
but the used the official recovery/ boot images etc.

Hey, I got the EXACTLY same problem as you do - although I'm not using a custom rom, just messed abit with mine too much (CWM + root, something messed up so I can't update even going back to stock recovery), so can you please explain step by step what I should do to get the JB update?
Thanks alot!
(and will this make my phone able to get the next update if one will get out too? I mean - is it stock rom?)

Ok do you have 2.18.751? If you have this version I can give you the update as I have it on pc. Its 3.14.751.20. I just have to work out how to upoad it to xda site.
I woulnt follow my steps exactly as I'm lucky I didn't damage my phone.
The up date has firmware.zip that contains boot.img, recovery.img etc. Follow the instructions Hansen toolkit video on the link. I flashed the HTC recovery and boot image. Then went to perm root my phone. It was on a screen I don't know what to call and was stuck there as I didn't flash other recoveries like cwm etc.. I then rebooted by power&vol and downoaded update again and it instaled. Note my phone automatically advised of the OTA if yours hasn't then there is something different.
I would highly recommend NOT to following my steps. Follow tookit video. That should get you there.
It is the official update from HTC so it should allow future updates.

Thanks guys.
Finally I went the other way... I was trying so hard to do this that soon I realized that I will be getting a custom ROM in a matter of time. But I usually use Stocks Modded ROMs so I did this.
Relocked the boot loader.
Flashed Firmware.zip from the OTA 3.14.751 from OTA.ZIP file. My word here is USE THE FIRMWARE FOR YOUR CID!!! ONLY THAT ONE
Flashed CWM 5.8.4.0 Recovery (i had an old one).
Downloaded Custom ROM (tried 2 in two days so far. same procedure, ARHD and InserCoin)
Flashed Boot.img from that custom ROM.
Went to Recovery, install ZIP from SDcard. and Flashed the custom ROM.
Preety Neat I must say.
Enjoying performance from JB... Photo CAM is insanely FAST
Thanks to Everyone. XDA Is a great place to find info but it could be messy some times.

Shelby5, Can you please send me the link to the video? and yes, that IS my version, and I've been notified of the update - but because of my modded rom couldn't install it.
JB requires a newer hboot, no? mine currently has 1.12, and I've understood that it requires 1.33, so does it cover that too?
Thanks!
about the ZIP file - is it the one that your device downloaded OTA to install? cause if so - I got that one. and if not - I'd appreciate if you can upload it even to dropbox or something for the day and tomorrow so I can download it
Noodlez I can do it for you later Today. Ill msg you later with details.

Well I tried custom firmware after successfully unlocking my HTC One X. It says Unlocked but S-ON so not sure whats going on there? But since S-On I cannot change the CID as get the error (status read failed (too many links)) MY CID is H3G_001 and since I rooted my phone refuses to let me upgrade to OTA Jellybean which is frustrating forcing custom firmware.
Without updating CID I got stuck in a bootloop at least I guess it was as it was just stuck on the quitely brilliant screen for 20 minutes before I shut it off and tried another firmware which did the same. I am now in the process of a Nandroid recovery so I can at least use the phone. Three have a ton of bloatware which sucks. But I gotta stick with it as cannot figure out why it wont let me flash.. All help is appreciated. This phone is alot harder to flash than my HTC Desire which was a breeze.

you cannot s-off the one x, all you have done is unlock the bootloader which will allow you to flash clockwork recovery and flash su etc.
Unlocked s-on is normal.
Unlocking has nothing to do with s-off
At present there is no way to change your cid.
2x errors have occurred here
Ota updates fail after rooting if you leave the custom recovery on there.
You needed to unlock. Flash or boot custom recovery.
Flash supersu binaries
Flash stock recovery
Then boot ROM.
That way it would have been rooted and still allow ota updates.
You have made things worse by flashing the firmware.zip
By flashing the firmware you have updated your hboot. Probably to 1.36
Which will no longer work for the ICS ROM that is on your phone.
You need to find a nandroid backup for jellybean for your cid.
Just switching to PC to find you some links
ok looked more into it
you should still be able to boot after restoring your nandroid.
dont forget to pull the boot.img from your backup and reflash it as flashing the firmware will have put the JB boot.img on
you will want to restore the stock recovery which you can find in the firmware.zip once you have restored your backup
reboot into your rom and do the OTA that way

I restored from my nandroid and its working fine, all back to 4.0.4 with the phone unlocked I used CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip when i rooted my phone (or at least im sure I did as I did root over 6 months ago now).
So how would I go about updating to a custom firmware then?? Instead of the OTA as would prefer to get rid of the bloatware as half the apps aren't even English..
If you want a custom ROM
Try looking at something like latest android revolution HD
Very similar to stock but no bloat.

Okay thanks for that but how do I get it to work with my CID is what I would like to know do I have to first get OTA jellybean working then a custom firmware to update the CID? It seems a little confusing.. I listed my CID in first post but like I also said all custom firmwares I tried Viper X 3.3.4 and skydragon both left me with a phone stuck on boot screen for 20 minutes until i gave up and just turned off.
Your cid is irrelevant for anything except going to stock.
Custom ROMs arnt dependent on cid.
But they are dependent on hboot versions.
Cm10 ROMs will not work on any hboot>1.12
Any sense jellybean ROMs or ROMs with 3.1 kernels need a hboot version of at least 1.23
Couldn't saw viperx ROM but dragon is based on 3.17 so your hboot has to be minimum of 1.23
After installing the custom ROM you did flash the boot.IMG in fastboot didn't you?

where i get the boot.img? I think i may have missed that part *duh* OKAY nm found that hboot is 1.12 need to update... Updating the Hboot means I have to go back to stock right? Then update OTA to get Hboot update then I can get JB..

You need a stock boot.img, stock recovery and a stock ICS Rom. Then you will get OTA to JB, upgrading that way your hboot. Then you can flash any custom JB Rom.
P.s. The correct boot.img is in the rom's zip folder. Every time you change the rom you should flash the proper boot.img.

Yeah problem is I need RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_H3G_UK_2.17.771.3 to go back to stock and it doesn't exist.. Anyway around the RUU exe ?
EDIT NM found I can use the nandroid method.. Giving it a shot now.
Go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
And download your matching nandroid ! Restore it including flashing the boot.img from the nandroid. After that you flash this recovery back
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
And you are on stock again. And also able to update to JB
That did NOT work I got back to stock but without the RUU exe file it seems it will not install I loveked my phone aswell and when i try to install the OTA update i just get kicked to bootloader.
Edit didnt see above post sorry
So did it work.....I know my method works !
Sorry yeah it worked Was up till stupidly late trying to do it as I was following another method as I never saw yours (a really old one) Where I locked my phone so had to unlock etc.. Plus download that update OTA each time took 1 hour. I'm now on stock with Hboot 1.39 thankyou so much really appreciate! So now I just reflash recovery yeah? And backup nandroid then go for my custom rom?
Yes exactly !
I now have Android Revolution working perfectly and since I paid for Nova Prime I decided to go for lite after all and removed Sense thank so much for that method so much easier than the guides on here which make it sound so difficult I really was pulling my hair out!
Nice ! Glad it worked :thumbup:
CASE CLOSED !
Hello Everyone,
I am avid user of xda. I am using a HOX which i rooted 2 years back.
The Specs of the phone are as follows,
It was running on 4.2.2, HTC_038 [INDIA] ,3.14.720.24, HBoot 1.36
It was running InsertCoin Rom 19.0.1.
It was running awesome.
But lately i decided to go on Stock to give it to HTC Service Center to replace the battery
So here it began,
I began searching for RUU's since a month. I knew it is a pain to get this phone back to Stock.
So did a little research and found that we dont have a RUU for 3.14.720.24
Then i began searching for Nandroid and Voila :angel: I found one.
After having an extensive research, i decided to give it a shot.
So i restored the Nandroid. and returned to 4.1.1 and Sense 4
Flashed Stock Recovery, Relocked the BootLoader.
and it was working fine.
I then checked for Updates as there was obviously going to be one for 4.2.2 and Sense 5
Downloaded the OTA, Tried to install it. When i clicked on Install the phone went to Stock recovery and in less than 5 sec booted up again.
I knew it dint go well. It just did a hard reset. Lost all my data. (I was not upset even though)
I was determined to go to stock.
So now i decided to downloaded the OTA again. Downloaded again. Installed the OTA and Voila I was on 4.2.2 with Sense 5.
I couldn't believe it. I was thinking it is so easy. ( Believe me, it wasnt )
Now i was running 4.2.2, Sense 5, HBoot 1.73(Culprit) 4.18.401.2
Now the real problem started.
I couldnt update apps from Play Store, Couldnt install new apps from Play Store. It was a mess.
"Package File Invalid". I read many threads and tried many methods (Clearing Cache, Hard Reset, Naming your device under Play Store etc)
But No luck. I couldnt get that working. I decided to do it again.
And i unlocked the bootloader and installed the CWM Recovery 5.8.4.0 again.
And then the Hboot 1.73 came to picture.
I restored the 4.1.1 Nandroid again.
Touch Screen wasnt working. MG: I am sweating.
Googled the Problem.
Found that 4.1.1 is too old for Hboot 1.73
Then i tried installing InsertCoin 19.0.4 (Aroma installer dint work, Touch wasnt working, Powered Down and kept the phone aside).
Relaxed Myself.
Found that Philz Recovery would work to install the ROM atleast.
Flashed Philz Recovery and now I have installed InsertCoin 19.0.4
Now People, I believe i am not the only one who is facing such a hardship to go to STOCK.
Can someone please help me going back to Stock again?
Things i have
1. HTC One X (Device)
2. 4.1.1 Nandroid
3. HBoot 1.73
4. Good Working Brain and Patience
Also, Can someone provide me a link of OTA.Zip of (4.2.2 - 4.18.401.2 for HTC_038) which can be flashed from Recovery so that i can revert to Stock?(May Be) - I googled and searched everywhere but couldnt find one.
Waiting for a Reply.?
Flash philz touch recovery and install a new sense 5 custom rom from scratch. At least a working phone then.....
You need a higher nandroid backup. The hboot is updated so the lower one don't work anymore. Touch drivers are updated so you need a nand that matches the outcome of
Fastboot getvar version-main

Flash the boot.img via fastboot and install the rom via recovery. Just leave the boot.img in the rom.zip. copy it from the rom.....
Hello guys, I'm in big trouble i will try to be as clear as possible, first i had a good working htc one x running official htc 4.2.2 no root nothing just the latest official OTA, after a while i got bored and decided to root it and install CM10.2 i had much trouble while rooting but at the end it was succesful and i managed to install cm10.2 from recovery mode, after that was finnished it kept hanging in bootloop, after several manual restarts i managed to get to get past the bootloop to the main screen, after spending a few weeks on cm10.2 i didnt like it and wanted to get my device back to stock so i can sell it but here is the trouble: i searched on youtube and found the video: Unbrick / Unroot the HTC One X: Back to Stock - Cursed4Eva
I followd every step correctly, and downloaded what i thought would be a compatible ruu but at the end of installation the RUU gave me the message that it must abbort the update because i have a different version or something, and honestly i just cant seem to figure out which ruu is the correct one for my device.
here is some info about my device and i hope you guys can help me out:
version-main: 4.18.401.4
There is no ruu ! Get a nand backup from the collection in the GENERAL section
I'm sorry could you be more specific? Why is there no RUU? And how can I install a nandroid back up? I can't even flash custom recovery on it. I don't care if there is no android 4.2.2 RUU for it, I'll take jellybean RUU or ICS RUU as long as it's compatible with my HOX.

As i said there is just no ruu ! In the general section is a collection of backups, have a read there. All info is there, i won't type something here that is already written down.
You can't install a different ruu when you have a s-on device. Only s-off can do that but s-off is NOT available for the HOX (unless you find a shop that offers the service) so it's a nandroid backup or a custom rom. Downgrade is not an option.

any idea how to do that? because basicly i have deleted everything on my HOX and installed the original recovery and relocked the bootloader so now when i turn on the device it goes straight to bootloader, what should i do now?
Unlock the bootloader. Flash philz touch 5.15.9 recovery. Mount the sdcard inside the recovery. Unpack and place the nandroid backup in the correct folder (check the collection thread for info) flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup via fastboot. Perform a full wipe in the recovery and restore the nandroid backup.

Alright after a few hours I managed to finally get the device working I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the recovery, and flashed CM11 (I lost hope trying to find the right Nandroid backup) and everything works correctly like a charm.
