Before you start, you will need to set up your computer to properly recognize the phone. You probably did this when rooting originally, but just in case... Install SDK tools for Android, Java runtime, and HTC Sync.
About HTC Sync: The only reason you need HTC Sync installed is for the USB drivers that come with it. But the program itself has been known to cause conflicts. Make sure that HTC Sync is not running in the background by opening Task Manager in Windows and killing it if you find it lurking in there.
Here we go:
1. Download the correct RUU (ROM Update Utility) for your device from androidfiles.org. Make sure you download a Primo_C RUU for a CDMA device (no sim card) or a Primo_U RUU for a GSM device (uses a sim card)!! Also make sure you get the correct RUU for your carrier.
2. Charge the battery above 50% or for at least one hour. If the battery dies during the flashing process, you could hard brick the phone!
3. Run the RUU until the wizard comes up. While the RUU wizard is open, find the temporary folder it created. (Open Explorer in Windows and type %temp% in the navigation bar.) There will be two folders with long encrypted names. In one of them you will find ROM.zip. Open it with 7zip and extract recovery.img or recovery_signed.img. Put it in the location were you've installed Android SDK tools. This is the stock HTC Recovery and it is needed to run the RUU.
4. 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.
5. Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder where you installed Android SDK tools. Flash the stock recovery extracted in step 3 above using the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
6. Relock the bootloader using the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
7. Re-run the RUU. It will restore the device to it's original condition, locked (though *** RELOCKED ***) and unrooted.
Once the install is done you'll have unlock the bootloader again using the token you already have from the first time, reflash CWM Recovery and re-root. All this will be 10x easier than the first time.
If you do re-root your phone, be 100% you backup the stock ROM in ClockworkMod Recovery before making changes!
Hi
Thanks for that perfect decsription exactly when I needed it
I just had a weired effect with my new windows 7 laptop that I want to share.
I installed the USB drivers and "fastboot devices" showed my HTC fine
but even flashing the stock recovery image was not working.
So it was stucking in the "Sending" part and never continued.
I then moved to my old laptop with Vista did exactly the same things
and there it worked without problems.
I disabled virus scanner, checked for htsync and used the original USB cable
without success.
But now I know why I normally never touch Windows and only
work on linux

Another way of saying it is that you downloaded the wrong RUU for your device.

"Waiting for Device" at fastboot usually related to bootloader driver. You need Android USB Driver

Hi folks,
I've bought my One V in late may and I had 2.08 ROM.
Now I've tested some roms and I wanted to revert back to stock rom.
I've downloaded RUU_PRIMO_U_ICS_40A_HTC_Europe_2.08.401.2_Radio_20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.18_M_release_263376_signed, and got recovery_signed and boot_signed images. Then I've went to fastboot, did flash recovery and boot partitions, and oem locked bootloader. Afterwards I booted my phone and entered PIN. Then I fired up RUU*.exe file, and I have 155 error. What the heck? Something I missed?
greetings!

Flashing RUU to revert to stock
- you must have the correct RUU for your device.
- if you are not sure, download CID Getter from Play Store and run it, it will show your CID.
- with your CID, you may be able to find a correct RUU for your device
then (even though some people may not agree with this, but this will bring no harm and it is noob-proof) do this:
1- flash a stock recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
2- flash a stock boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
3- re-lock bootloader
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
4- flash RUU
NOTE: There is no boot/reboot and enter pin in between.

Hello,
To start off, I want to say that I DID search on this forum, for similar threads, and while I did find some, I couldn't find out how to do it.
My Phone:
HTC One X
S-ON
Rooted
Locked bootloader
ROM: Android Revolution HD
CID: HTC__E11
I flashed my current ROM a while ago, but I really cannot remember doing it and I deleted the backup I made before flashing (I always back up before flashing) because I thought I was running the stock ROM (without trouble) and I needed space.
What I want to do now, is get rid of EVERYTHING and just reset it to what it was when I first booted it, when that's all done, I want to root it again and unlock the bootloader.
The problem is that I can't find the appropriate RUU. I've been looking for it for a good while now, but I can't seem to find it.
I've downloaded OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27-2.17.401.2_release_298985n1wwcwzs385c0bvz.zip from
htcruu.com/ index.php?dir=Endeavor (not allowed to put links here, sorry) and I put that in my SDCard directory.
When I tried to flash it (I don't know whether I am supposed to or not, but I only got a .zip and no .exe...) it did not work.
If you need the error, tell me and I'll do it again.
Regards,
Pim
If you can't find a ruu, you can use a stock nandroid backup. You can find a collection of them at general if I remember correctly.

Yes. Previous poster is correct. Download that file.
Do not put it on your sdcard.
Plug your phone into PC
Reboot into hboot by holding power & volume down for about 20seconds.
Press power button to go to fastboot
Open a cmd window and run fastboot oem lock to relock your bootloader

And when I run the RUU (as administrator) I get "Error [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR".

Do you have HTC drivers installed and java SDK platform files ?
Have you ever used fastboot commands ?
Do you have a fastboot folder on the pc with fastboot/adb files in it ? When you connect the phone to the pc and put in bootloader menu you should see something like fastboot USB
Download this
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
And put the folder in c:\
So you have
C:\fastboot\ files in the folder
Open a dosprompt in that folder and type
Fastboot devices while the phone is still in bootloader menu If it comes up with your serial its good

Hello,
First of all, I'd like to apologize for leaving so suddenly, but I had some other, more important, things on my mind.
Thanks for the link, but when I try to do that (and follow all the instructions I get on the screen), it all goes well, until just after "erasing user data", when I get the error as seen in the attachments.
When I started my phone, I had to fill in the basic questions, but I later found out that all my files were still there, while the apps themselves had been uninstalled...
I figured some general stuff out, and adb and fastboot are now *finally* working as they should.
Regards,
Pim
EDIT: Since I'm not quite sure whether or not the attachments are working, I uploaded them to imgur:
imgur. com/a/yMxph <= just remove the space before the between the "imgur." and "com/a/yMxph"
Well, I've just downloaded the correct RUU, but I'm currently getting error 155: unknown error...
I'm kinda clueless about what to do now...
Regards,
Pim
Download from the 2.17.401 ruu and try again.....otherwise flash back the stock recovery from the main version that you currently have
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
So the stock recovery should be 1.29 based

I used the same RUU I used before, but this time with relocked bootloader (forgot to relock that again), this time it worked!
I'm currently updating to Jelly Bean, and then I'll root it again etc. If I'm right, S-OFF is possible for the One X these days, right?
If so, would anyone know an easy and clear tutorial?

Thanks
You can use this !
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_257076_signed.exe
It will bring you back to full stock, after that you can update up to JB.
do i need to use a tool to run the setup in my HTC One X?
sorry for the dumb question but this is my very first time in handling Andriod OS
thanks
You can set your phone with pc or your hands...
The RUU is your tool. You hold down the power + volume down button together as long as it takes for you to see the bootloader
On top of the bootloader will say
Unlocked
Locked
Relocked
One of these 3 !
To run the ruu the bootloader must either be LOCKED or RELOCKED !
To lock the bootloader you need this fastboot command
Fastboot oem lock
After that you execute the ruu.exe from the pc and follow instructions. Charge the battery to full power before you start !!!
i tried running the ruu.exe on my laptop but i received an error saying that complete first the current setup before proceeding or contact your administrator
Oke try this
Right click mousebutton on the ruu.exe and select
Run as administrator
And/or reboot the pc once
there was an error on opening in the usb master when the phone opened on the Hboot.
any idea on how can i fix this?
That's normal....we all have that. Its because of the usb cable being plugged in !
But don't press on HBOOT or anything else. Just put it on the first page of the bootloader and run the ruu as above
no luck...im still having the same error while executing the ruu.exe
anything elso i can do?
Hmm well afaik its a computer problem (no administrator rights of some kind) maybe transfer the ruu to another pc and try it again ?
ok will look for another laptop but this is the second laptop that i used but the same error occuers on both
user id used is already the administrator..
how i wish there is still other ways i can update my htc one x
Yes it could be done with a stock nandroid backup but if you don't have that. The problem is your low hboot. I don't think there is one that low available for you.
Can you give these commands another go for me
Fastboot oem readcid
Fastboot getvar version-main
Or a direct hboot flash but i need your exact CID for that ! But then you are still dependant on a custom rom.....
equal dianapa
sir, where should i run the command you just requested?
In steps
1 Download android sdk and unpack the bundle
2 uninstall HTC syncmanager if you have it installed but leave the drivers
3 put the phone in the bootloader
4 navigate in the android sdk folder to the platform tools folder. Hold down shift and click the right mouse button and select "open command window here"
5 type in that window
Fastboot getvar version main
and
Fastboot oem readcid
version is 0.5a
CID = HTC_044
That's not the main version number....try again, it looks like this
1.28.401.** or 2.17.415.**. These are examples !
i cannot run the fastboot getvar version main in the command window
only fastboot getvar version is the being executed which gives me the value of 0.5a
So I bought a second hand One X today. It's rooted and on Android Revolution rom.
How do I get the right RUU for my phone and how do install it etc.?
Thanks.
You need to perform a fastboot command
Fastboot getvar version-main
From there we can check for a ruu :thumbup:
Okay and how do I do that?
Oke here we go
Download the android sdk bundle (Google), unpack it and navigate to the platform tools folder ..... open a command window there
Point in the folder, hold shift + right mouse button and select "open command window here"
If you have HTC syncmanager installed ? Uninstall it but leave the drivers on .....
Then you put the phone in the bootloader by holding the power button + volume - button endlessly until you see the bootloader !!!
Then type this in the command window on the pc
Fastboot getvar version-main
It just says waiting for device. I have the correct drivers installed. Don't know what to do :/
Do you have MYHTC in the device manager in windows ?
No. And now I just can't get past fastboot, this thing is driving me nuts
Use CID Getter from the Play Store.

I have the right RUU. I just can't get out of fasboot/bootloader and my battery is lower than 30% so i can't install it.
Can you enter the custom recovery ?
No - However I've got it out of fastboot now. It boots and works etc. but its still on the custom rom.
I have my right RUU - after the phone is charged to 30%, can I just flash the RUU? Not having to re-lock the bootloader? Cos that's how I got here in the first place.
Oke ! To install the ruu you need to
Relock the bootloader
Keep the phone in the bootloader
Execute the ruu from the pc with admin rights
Yes but when I did that last time it got stuck in the bootloader.
Yeah well there is no other way to install a ruu
I did it and the RUU just got stuck on the "checking..." part
How do you know you got the right ruu ? First you state that you dont know how to perform the getvar version command, so you never know the exact right main version. If you take it from the running arhd rom its 3.14.401 or 2.17.401.....the software number from the custom rom has nothing to do with the real main version of the phone. It can be completely different
It's ok. its all sorted now RUU works
