[Q] How to restore my 3 Rom?

Hi,
I have been trying out a couple of custom roms and want to revert back to my backed up 3 rom. Problem is it wont boot after restoring, I'm assuming this is because I overwrote the boot.img to use the custom roms, is there anywhere I can get the stock boot.img for 3 branded phone please?

You can get it from the RUU

Anyone know where I can download a 3 ruu?

i reverted back to my backup 3 rom that came with the phone. but the problem was i needed the right boot.img. since i was on 1.26 firmware i flashed the 1.26 boot.img which i got from here
so what i did i flashed the boot.img then restored my backup and it worked. or you can restore then if it gives you bootloops then just go back into bootloader, fastboot and then just flash the boot.img from that thread and that is it.
worked for me so try it out..make sure you are on fully charged though

Can any of you please upload a full backup so I can restore to stock??
Can I still do this even if I have the latest hboot after a 1.28 OTA?

You need the 1.28 RUU (which doesn't exist) or a nandroid backup from someone on 1.28 (which isn't advisable)
You may have to stick with custom for now

What could be the issues if I got a nandroid backup from someone on 1.28?
I'm assuming it could brick my device?

the best thing you could of done is make a backup of your own stock rom that came with the phone. that is what i did. i got my stock rom back up which is 3 branded and all i did was restored back and flashed the OTA update. when i restored it did not reboot. all it needed was the stock boot.img and stock recovery. and that was it it worked perfectly. so do not know what the RUU business and what it does but if you have a backup and flash the correct stock recovery and boot.img depending on what firmware your backup was you would be fine

I kicked myself when I done it as I jumped straight in completely forgot to backup my device first, which I always have in the past...frustrating!
Just want to get back to Three UK stock now, as sick of flashing every custom rom that is released lol
So as I have no backup and HTC/Three seem uninterested...I am screwed.

Three/HTC have not released the 1.28 RUU mate, so if I try and use all there is (1.26 RUU) it fails as my hboot is now a newer version after the 1.28 OTA from three.
And I have no nandroid backup.
Oops.

You need to wait for the 1.28 RUU mate.
Don't use a nandroid backup from someone else as all info from that nandroid backup will be for the owners device and not yours. So if you send it to HTC they'll see the serial numbers don't match up. Plus the nandroid will have personal data from the owner on most of the time.

HTC releases them and it is up to the network to decide really when to release it due to the software i would presume that goes onto the branded handsets. which sucks really. just like say ICS when it came out. really it should of been a global release like ios for apple but due to OEM's like Samsung and htc we have to wait till they decide when to release it due to the customization they do to the updates..similar to the updates we should be getting but we have to wait for 3 to get their asses in check

It really does suck being at the mercy of networks for these updates.
As you say with iOS for example, there is one version from Apple - keeps it simple!

[Q] Bootloop after 3-dot-fix and now no way to recover?

Hi, I hope I didn't miss the thread where this is explained, but:
Yesterday I unlocked und rooted my OneX, successfully. One of the two main reasons I did it was the removal of the 3-dot-bar, so I flashed the fix for that.
After it my phone is stuck at bootloop, factory reset didn't help.
So I tried to recover through an RUU, in my case an 1.26 and 1.28 vodafone RUU, but when I try, it gives me an error 140 wrong bootloader (or something).
Now I'm stuck at this point, as I can't recover with an RUU, and I can't do anything with fastboot, because it throws an "unknown bootloader status" error with any command... so I couldn't flash die boot.img neither...
Now I'm hoping that there is a way to help me and I just missed the right thread in my dispair
Can please someone tell me what I can do now? Thanks in advance.

Have you flashed the stock recovery back?

Yes I did, extracted from the correct RUU for Vodafone Germany (which is the UK RUU).
/edit: I also tried recovery from international RUU

What hboot do you have? I can't remember what that error means. You can't flash an RUU with an older hboot, if you have the 1.29 OTA, you have a newer hboot.
What the firmware you have now?

Ah right, as just been mentioned you will need to have the lastest firmware, if you have OTA updated you will have never hboot

I have hboot 0.95 as of 1.29.161.13, hboot of 1.26 is 0.94, so that seems to be the problem, ok.
Somehow I managed to get fastboot running again, means bootloader is unlockable and I tried boot.img and recovery.img from stock RUU, hboot is not allowed...
But there must be anything I can do about it now?

Actually run the correct RUU for your radio and hboot? Revert to stock, the unlock bootloader straight away and restore one of your nandroid backups? That's what I did when I bricked my HOX

Well I ran RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Vodafone_UK_1.28.161.9_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_256488_signed.exe, but I'm on the OTA updated 1.29, so there is no "correct" RUU, it seems.
This means I'm stuck and can't do nothing about it?
I will try to install a custom firmware, maybe this works...

If you have a backup, just restore a backup through cwm, same thing happened to me.

Anyway, Android Revolution HD is up and running and first thing I do now is a nandroid backup ^^

Download a stock Rom so if ARHD fails you always have that glad to hear you haven't totally killed your phone!

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.

tks man!

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

Got It guys!!
What I did... NOTHING else...
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.
Thanks guys!

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 )

Bootloop and changing CID issues

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

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:
