Question about returning to stock

Hey,
Ive been running Jellybean (CM10) for about a month now, and I want to return to stock. My cid number is HTC_621, and when I tried to flash an RUU previously, it froze on the Sending screen for about 30 minutes. I did realize that it was trying to downgrade though, and was wondering if anyone has the newest RUU for that CID number.
Other questions:
Does my bootloader have to be locked to use an RUU?
Do I have to be on the stock recovery?
Thanks!

you can't because the RUU hasn't been released yet

You need to be locked only.
fastboot oem lock
What do you get from
fastboot getvar version-main
That is the RUU version you need (or newer).

unable recall wether HTC_621 should be from taiwan carriers.. But for 2.17/2.18 RUU wasn't leak yet. The only option you have was flash taiwan unbranded version. Actually 2.17 taiwan unbranded RUU's have only leak ROM.zip inside of it. But that's ennough for someone to cook custom RUU for taiwan unbranded, if you flash that your CID will be converted to taiwan unbranded too.

The command fastboot getvar version-main returns 2.17.751.2, so do I have to wait for the update to go out and get an RUU or is there one available? If not, I can wait but I just want to make sure that I can get back eventually.

If you want I have a nandroid backup of 3.14.709 which you can flash on HTC__621. It was taken after another user applied the OTA update. You can then just flash the new 1.31 hboot and then restore the backup via CWM and you will be on the latest official JB release. Send me a pm if interested and I'll give you the link.

[Q] quick Hboot question

just a quick question,
I am trying to update my GF hox to a new jelly bean rom and I havent dont it in a while and people are mentioning upgrading the hboot.
She has hboot 0.94 so which hboot should I upgrade to?
is it just a matter of flashing the RUU specific to her phone (3 uk)?
cheers!

would really like a quick answer as im stuck on "HTC one X beats audio" screen

After looking here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2009525 it looks as though the jelly bean RUU for 3 UK has not yet been released.
So your best bet would be to flash an ics RUU and wait for the official jelly bean OTA update to come through on the phone. You can try a H3G UK RUU from here http://www.htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor ,but make sure to check what your main
version is using fastboot getvar version-main to see which RUU is the one you need.
You can't update the hboot until the firmware for your CID has been released.
I hope this helps.

What is the error code the RUU is giving? And if the bootloader is unlocked, try locking it and running the RUU again.
Does the fastboot getvar version-main command give you the number with .771 in it?
EDIT: Also, you need to flash a stock recovery if you don't already have one. You can get one from here http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=endeavoru_recovery_signed.img and rename it to recovery.img and then flash it through fastboot using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. But this has to be done before locking the bootloader.

hi thanks! it was because it was still unlocked
now i just have to find a decent ROM that is compatible!

All custom ROMs except those that run jellybean with HTC sense will work fine.
Any jellybean that are based on aosp, aokp or cm10 will work

[Q] HTC One X, OTA update to Jelly Bean

Hi guyz. I have my HTC One X which was carrier branded to optus. i wiped and flashed a stock rom and stock recovery, which took away the optus splash screen and bloatware. I've realised that optus approved of the jellybean update but its not appearing on my phone. also do u need to lock the bootloader for ota updates? also a basic description of why and what android sdk is.
thanks in advance

Its because you have a stock ROM that's based off another region and not the actual Optus stock ROM which you need, the bloat ware and carrier logo at boot up should be present in order to receive OTAs.
What you should do is download the Optus nano droid backup in the general section and restore it to return to stock.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

ok thanks. im downloading the nandroid backup for htc one x jellybean optus from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
is there a way to get stock jellybean sense rom on my device? or remove the splash screen and bloatware after i flash the optus backup
thnx

Yeah... Install one. Mike1986 has a stock JB ROM.
So, after you return to stock and receive the JB update, you'll be ready to install a custom JB ROM.

ok thanks guyz. i got one more question, im getting the stock nandroid jb rom for optus, do i have to update my hboot or anything like that? befor flashing?
UPDATE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970 this is a stock jb rom for one x, can i flash this instead of the jb optus nandroid backup (the hosting site is annoyingly slow). and again do i need to update hboot for this rom, if yes how. thanks

You need a stock rom from Optus and the stock recovery to be able to update the phone. Restore the Optus nandroid,flash the boot.img from the nandroid and flash back the matching stock recovey, then you can update the phone

thats good. but im asking, is it neccessary to update my hboot for the JB optus nandroid backup? and for a stock htc JB rom?

You need to restore the nandroid backup that matches the software number of the phone ! If its 2.17 you should restore the 2.17 Optus nandroid and update officially to JB, the update will take care of flashing the higher hboot to 1.36 or even 1.39. After that you have to flash a custom recovery and flash a custom rom again.
Fastboot getvar version-main
That will say which one you need.you can't just restore the JB nandroid. The hboot has to be updated for JB roms

ok thanks, but i also have the hboot for jelly bean (optus), which i got from here http://d-h.st/users/ClydeB1/?fld_id=8110#files
can i use jelly bean flasher and flash the hboot 1.36. then the JB rom?
the reason why is that i cant find a nandroid for ics optus. so im thinking of any other ways

Yes if the cid matches you can flash the firmware that will bring you to a higher hboot and flash JB roms
I see a Optus 2.17 backup here

Rather than commit suicide, could try installing a version of clockworkmod that isn't ancient. I suggest 5.8.4.0.

No need for suicide !

As i recall this right you have to check for partial wakelocks. Charge the phone full before you go to bed and leave it off the charger overnight

Update hboot optus001 manually
Hi i was wondering how you flash the hboot as mentions in the earlier post, I to need optus001 2.17 nandroid backup but cant get it unless link is changed to public.
However it seamed that your work around got u there, I have dowmloaded the hboot 1.36 optus zip & the recovery 5.8.4.0 file, I have also downloaded ARHD 18.1 + boot img.. I'm currently hrunning ARHD 9.7..
So were can i get a hboot flasher compatible with optus001 cid & is this all the stuff i will need & is there any threads that may help walk me thru the process's..
Any help would be great, I seemed to have it down packed till i went back to stock & optus updated my hboot to 1.12 after this my stock ruu wont work & i seem stuck. (Reading threads its clear that if i had restarted my phone one more time the JB update would have been there & all this stress saved)
Kind regards
Clemenator

Get your firmware.zip from the download link in this thread (by ClydeB) your cid is exactly Optus_001 ?
http://d-h.st/mBx
then put the phone in fastboot usb mode, lock the bootloader and follow this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
You have to flash the firmware.zip with the given commands in the thread.
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash firmware.zip
All this is done with a locked bootloader and the phone in fastboot usb mode.
After the fastboot oem rebootRUU command the phone will restart and stall in a black screen with a silver HTC logo then you perform the firmware flash. Unlock the bootloader again and flash a custom recovery, then you are ready for JB
NOTE : charge the battery before you start !!!

[Q] HOX freezes on boot (both on custom and stock roms)

Hi to all
well, to keep this short, hox tegra on orange uk (cid orang001) so it's still s-on, unlocked the bootloader using hasoon2000's thread and tool (great piece of work btw, thank you), installed twrp, then installed android revolution JB, after wich the phone got stuck freezing during the htc logo at boot
tried to revert back to stock, freezing on boot still, one of the problems is I can't update the hboot- fastboot oem lock, fastboot flash zip etc. sends back an "failed to write, no permission" error and I'm not sure I understand how to flash a RUU from the recovery or fastboot
hboot is 1.12 still and radio is 2.1204.105.14
some advice as to where I have gone wrong is much appreciated, thank you

Do these commands in order to update the hboot:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (repeat this command until it succeeds)
Then you should be able to unlock the boot loader, flash twrp and flash the boot.img of arhd.

Thanks for helping me out, okay so on rebootRUU command the phone shows a black screen with htc in silver, that's the mode for installing RUU's am I correct and while in this mode I tried to push the hboot file but it says (remote: 12 signature verify fail), I suppose the stock recovery that I tried is not good enough, at this point I'm a bit lost in the heap of files, would you mind directing me to a recovery I could use?

Correct. It doesn't matter at all which recovery you have... the problem must be your fimware file. Did you take the right one based on your CID?

like I said I got lost in the myriad of files)) okay so I followed your thread "[INFO] Where to acquire EndeavorU RUUs" and I'm currently downloading RUU's from Android Files, there's three of'em for orang001 and I've tried installing the newest but it said that the bootloader version doesn't match, oh, and now my radio is 5.1204.162.29 can I just try running the two left RUU's and see what happens?

It must match
fastboot getvar version-main
Also, you must relock the boot loader before running a RUU (fastboot oem lock)
Sent from my IceCold One X

okay, the bootloader was relocked, problem was RUU version, mine is 2.17.61.3 and I can't find a RUU of that version anywhere, there's a nandroid backup link but it's down I've searched for a "re-upped" post but couldn't find that either. guess "today is not a good day for science"

RUU/nandroid unavailable. Firmware.zip is your only chance.
What happens if you try to flash it? It should say OKAY after 2-3 tries.

Saved my life, thank you so much!
So I got it back to stock with hboot 1.36 and radio 5.1204 and also I suppose it's a JB now as opposed to Ice Cream before?
Now if I unlock it, flash twrp and nandroid bkup I should be able to flash it with ARHD 21 JB?
also might you tell me if unbranding it would mean s-off?
and just a small unrelated question, running a wifi hotspot tether on a 2.3.7 is accessible by the pc and an iphone but cannot be seen by Ice Cream and JB, why is that?

Yes, you can flash arhd 21.
You'd need s-off in order to unbrand, which is not available for our hox.
Don't know about the WiFi tether thingy, maybe it works fine on arhd...

[q] htc one x: Jelly bean update issue!

I resetted my phone to stock sense using a nandroid backup, flashed stock recovery and relocked my bootloader so that i could receive the official OTA update to jelly bean, the OTA update downloaded successfully but when the phone rebooted to install the update it booted into the bootloader and did not install the update. i tried to install the update several times but the same thing kept happening.
my CID: H3G_001
my hboot: 1.12.0000
my version main: 2.17.771.3
I am on the three network in the uk
could anyone help me with this problem/ help me install the jelly bean update? (I want the official OTA update so that i can update my hboot and flash cm10)

Sure you got the right stock recovery on ? Which one did you flash ?
Other option :
Relock the bootloader :
Fastboot oem lock
Keep the phone in the bootloader and run this file from the pc and let the phone be flashed to stock. Right click the ruu and select :
Run as administrator
