Hey guys,
I'm a bit of a noob at this but I'm really stuck.
I have had my HTC One X Euro version Quad core for about 6 months. I have rooted it and installed CM10. I'm now bored of CM10 and starting to dislike it.
I really want to return to the stock rom and install the lastest updates.
I have had a look around online but cannot find much to help me with the process. Please if someone knows what I can do please post links or guides below
If you have any questions about hboot and cid I will do my best to answer.
Thanks for looking

Thanks man al have a look
I have followed that guide but now I'm stuck on step 6. I have tried to flash the stock recovery in fastboot usb but it comes up saying the below
FAILED <command write failed <unknown error>>
Bootloader unlocked?
Phone in fastboot mode?
Recovery image in fastboot folder and the correct version? It should match "fastboot getvar version-main".
It says relocked? I followed Option 2 in the guide and I'm on step 6.
Phone is in fastboot usb also the version matches
Well, you do not need to flash stock rec. The RUU takes care of that too.
Sent from my One X
so what do I do now? Im a bit confused....
See this thread and download the the appropriate RUU from one of the links.
Do "fastboot getvar version-main" and grab the RUU that suits it.
There is a small guide in the linked thread too and since you are already locked, you can continue from step 4.
thanks just downloading it now. 577meg on my 200kbps connection might take a while :/
It says I cant run it as my battery is lower that 30% it has been plugged in at the wall for the last 2 hours. What can I do to charge it?
Ok so I left the phone plugged in all night. The RUU Installer gets a little further then pops up with the 30% warning again! Please help as this is my only phone and I cant get it to work
Im still looking for help if anyone knows what I can do?
The easiest way is to flash the stock recovery to the phone and then choose to power down the phone from the bootloader ...... Then it should charge properly and all the way

Thanks! Where could I find the stock recovery? Is there any guides on doing this?
My dropbox links are suspended so i can't provide one, but do a search with the xda search button. I recommend the stock that matches your main version so if you are on android 4.04 you need the 2.17 stock recovery

I have found the stock recovery but when I try flash it, it says not allowed.
Did you unlock the bootloader first ?

Hi all.
I have just received my HTC ONE X on ORANGE UK. I had it unlocked and works well with other networks.
Problem I have is:
1. How can I get rid of the ORANGE UK branding?
2. Revert the software to the ORIGINAL HTC ONE X Software?
I looked thru the Q&A and didn't really find the answer i was looking for. I am a newbie as i have always had the iPhone 4S.
I presume this involves changing the ROM? How?
A Step by step guide would be brilliant.
Thanks Kindly
I believe that you will need to unlock your Bootloader at HTCDev (which will void all warranty) and follow this thread. This will allow you to install any One X ROM you want.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592355
The latest stock HTC software is 1.28.401.9

Unlocking the bootloader, rooting, installing a custom recovery and flashing a custom (or official unbranded) ROM will get you where you need to be...
However, if you have never rooted a phone before this one isn't the best to start on. I would recommend waiting until some of the bugs have been ironed out, like charging in fastboot, the posibility of a one click root, or a fully s-offed process.
If you can be patient, (and the bloat isn't too bad - for Orange anyway) I would recommend waiting.
I had a rooted, s-off desire on Orange, have unlocked and s-offed a bunch of various HTC phones belonging to friends, but even I'm delaying for a while to see how development pans out.
I hate sense too.

Hi thanks. Well I got thru the Bootloader ok. Now I am on step 9 of the recovery. I am not sure which ROM to select in step 4?
UPDATED 13/4 Official Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 5.8.2.7
Can you help please?
I don't know which one to select as there is this one from http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
HTC One X (GSM) Download Recovery & Touch Recovery
I would recommend Android Revolution HD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
Version 3.1 is the latest build with sense. I ran ARHD on my Sensation and its very stable. I'll be running it once I'm sure my device is fault free.

Hi i have downloaded Android Revolution HD What's next as I am lost now

have you installed a custom recovery? if so move the downloaded ROM onto you one x, reboot into recovery, choose "install zip from sdcard". Then "choose zip" and point it at the zip of the rom you downloaded.
@f4flake.
All I have done so far is the unlocked the Bootloader.
Thanks
go to this thread

your next step is to flash custom recovery mate...once you flashed custom recovery go ahead and flash the rom of your choice. make sure you read the instructions on how to flash the rom and follow the guide carefully. let me know how you get on...
here you go mate watch the video below by the developer of VillainRom on our phone and he is forum moderator as well good guy and knows his stuff

If you follow the link I posted in the 2nd post that will give you all the steps you need to prepare to flash a custom ROM, including the custom recovery image.
After that pick a ROM, I recommend ARHD, then follow the instructions in the ROM thread to flash the ROM.

Hi all. Well this morning i managed to flash the recovery file. Now stuck on final part of installation Need a factory HTC file i guess? and instructions to flash it. Appologies for the dumbness here, I am just recovering from a stroke so everything is hard work as it is difficult for me to understand. Thanks for your patience.
Any ideas please?

Hi
Have you saved the recovery image in the fastboot folder on your computer with your fastboot files?
Try
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img
Looks like you missed the word recovery from your command and omitted the file extension.

just to add to that make sure it is on your C drive which is easier and make a fastboot folder with all the contents of it mate..then just follow the guide i PM'd you with

Firstly, you should not start flashing stuff to your phone unless you are 100% sure of what you are doing. The community is here to help, not to bail you out because you couldn't be bothered to read the instructions carefully.
Right rant over lets try and get this phone working again. As you have already flashed the rom, that's a start. You now need to go into the bootloader to flash the kernel and ram disk.
So step by step:
1) Boot into the bootloader (hold volume down and power)
2) Download the appropriate boot.img from the ARHD thread.
3) Place the boot.img in the same folder as fastboot.
4) From the Command Line run fasboot flash boot boot.img
5) Then run fastboot erase cache
I may be wrong but I think the ARHD boot.img contains a script which automates steps 4 and 5 in which case you can just run the script and ignore these steps. Once you have done all this the phone will boot normally.

Have u installed the SDK platform tools in ur computer?if not type on google Android SDK and download it then you can do the following. place the image file (which is the kernel) in the path of SDK(where is installed. Mine for example is on C:\Program files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\(Place here UR kernel file) )
afterwards open an CMD and then type the following fastboot flash boot NAME_OF_IMAGE.IMG. everything that dr97.. said is right u should do those steps first. my guidance is on what to do and where to place the kernel. ill be online all time to answer you as sooner i can.
Good luck m8

i didnt forget you just checking if we can do it with other way.
found a way. go here download it. Make sure u have the HTC sync installed. Once u download the tool u will find 2 files one exe and one folder.inside the folder u will find 2nd folder with name Kernels. place there your kernel and go back one folder where you will find Windows Batch file with name UserKer Press it and follow the instructions
One more edit. Rename the Kernel as Boot! or else i think it will not work the script
GOOD LUCK

If you are now trying to get back to stock then you need to know a few things first. If you have a branded phone (locked to a network provider) then you will need to download their RUU for the phone, if you have an unbranded phone (can use any sim card in it) then you will need to flash the unbranded RUU for your phone. and unbranded RUU can be Identified if the firmware is like the following: x.xx.401.x, a branded phone goes something like: x.xx.771.x (this is for 3 UK, the 771 part will be different depending on your network).
Secondly what firmware were you on before flashing a custom ROM onto your phone? were you on 1.26, or 1.28, or 1.29? you will need to have the relevant stock recovery and RUU for your firmware version. If you can't remember then what is your hboot version? if its 0.43 then you are most probably on 1.26, 0.94 should be for 1.28, and 0.95 I believe is for the 1.29 variant.
you can unlock your bootloader again using the same unlock.bin file from the HTCDEV site to flash the right stock recovery onto your phone, then relock the bootloader again and then run the RUU. This should bring you back to almost factory defaults.
you should be able to find the right RUU from THIS thread, The right recovery from HERE and disaster recovery tutorial from HERE
And next time PLEASE READ UP ON HOW TO DO THIS STUFF, BEFORE ACTUALLY DOING IT.

you can unlock your bootloader again with the same unlock.bin file you got off the HTCDEV site and using the following command in command prompt: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin ... the signature error could possibly point to having the wrong stock recovery. did you flash the 1.29.401.11 stock recovery?
Edit: could you post the link to where you got that RUU from? I might possibly be able to extract the recovery.img file from it, as I think the 1.29.401.11 recovery might be wrong for you, you might need the 1.29.415.11 recovery to be flashed...

You shouldn't relocked it on the first place, because from what i read at the OP, you have your phone unlocked and rooted..if you follow my guide, my friend, you will have a fully working phone again..do you even read it..

Download this file
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_275980_signed.exe
First how is the battery ? Charge it in the recovery if needed. You need at least 30% of power for this !!
1: put the phone in the bootloader and lock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
Keep the phone in the bootloader and execute the ruu with admin rights (right click the ruu.exe and select it)
This will flash the phone to stock android 4.0.4 sense 4.1. After this all you go into the settings and check for manual updates, update it to JB !
Thank you it's worked now how to update to jelly bean
Check in the phone
Settings - about - softwareupdates and do manual searching now !
I did the same stupid thing with my HTC One (v. 1.29.651.7) I cant find an RUU to restore. Any suggestions?
Hey there XDA,
I'm new here and watched the noob video just so you know. I think I'm onto something pretty advanced.
I have rooted my phone (HTC one x, euro version) before and I have NOT made a recovery before I did that. I installed AOKP and because I did not read everything I screwed it up completely. My phone was 'bricked'. I've brought it to some guy who fixes phones for cash, now I have NO idea what he did to my phone because he wouldn't tell me. (Ofcourse, he wouldn't make any money anymore if he told me which is reasonable).
I really would like to know if my phone is still rootable. The bootloader is relocked at the moment and I REALLY want to get root acces. But I'm scared to ruin it because I'm on 4.1.1 and I think there is no root for 4.1.1 yet. I am also scared to do a factory reset and get back to android 4.0.1 because that might brick my phone again. (The latest update for my HTC worked though). That's why I will include a message with my software info. Maybe some of you guys know what he's done to my phone, and if it's still possible for me to root my phone and MAYBE someday get a custom ROM on there.
I think this is alot to ask but searching on the net didn't give me alot of information. Sorry for the long thread and please, If i'm in the wrong forum tell me so I am aware of that.

By the way, If I go into the official STOCK recovery mode I get a screen with a red exclamation mark and some kind of hard disk. I do not know if this is normal.
You say Euro version, do you have the Evita or Endevarou? You check by going into bootloader.

Moved to international One X forum (sounds like you have the Tegra 3 version, not the krait version)

Hello, thanks for replying.
It sais Endeavoru when I go into the bootloader.
Rooting is the still exactly the same as it was for ICS ! Going into the stock recovery will indeed show that sign. We are not supposed to go in there....that's why the warning sign !
He probably just ran a ruu and updated the phone to Jellybean !
A factory reset will not bring you back to your old version of android

Before I brought the phone to that guy I've tried doing that by myself. Got some sort of program and ran an RUU but it failed. Are you saying it is still possible for me to root it? I have no idea what went wrong with the AOKP Rom though. If I make a backup with titanium backup can I always return to stock rom when I mess up? I know these are basic questions but I'd rather be sure this time.
You probably had the wrong ruu ! And yes you can unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and then the most important !!!
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP ! Lol
After that flash different roms of your liking.
Give these commands
Fastboot getvar version-main
Fastboot oem readcid
And post back the outcome

Is there anything that you see that may prevent me from rerooting and reinstalling another ROM?
Cool another dutchie
Nah you can unlock and flash away. As long as you keep your nandroid safe (if not...there are plenty stock nandroid available for us. All 401 stocks work with all cids)
So go ahead if you want....

Can you link me to a 'basic' rooting guide here on XDA? I'm pretty scared that the software the other guy installed might ruin the root. I'm willing to try though since I think there isn't alot to go wrong with rooting.. What about this? Is this One X supported? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
Nah don't go there. Stay in the phone specific forum !

Will I get into any trouble since the bootloader sais RELOCKED?
Also, I found a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIeq8Jx28cs
If I follow all steps in this video will this work? Also, do I need CWM to get superuser/root?
Sorry for asking all these questions. I REALLY need to get this done the right way.
No the bootloader will go from relocked to unlocked. Then flash a custom recovery. Make a nandroid backup and install a custom rom, those are already rooted (and tweaked by the pro's)
Please don't use video's, most of the time outdated !

At the moment I'm only interested in rooting, since it gives me acces to new apps etc. Since there are ways on XDA now that I do not know and don't even know how to use ("EASIEST ROOT METHOD - 'RECOVERY + SUPERSU'") I think I should stay away from it.
Oh:
From what I understand: You download clockworkmod release, install it on your pc and flash the SuperSU file on your phone. Is that everything? Seems pretty easy...
No you unlock the bootloader with the unlock_code.bin file by flashing it from the pc to the phone. Then flash a recovery from the pc to the phone. Then install superuser.zip from within the new recovery.
All flashing is done with the phone in the bootloader and commands from the pc.

Don't you have your phone rooted when you unlock the bootloader?
I'm sorry, some things that are on xda I dont quite understand so I find it hard to know what EXACTLY to do.
No a phone is never rooted. The phone is unlocked and you need to root the rom.
Root applies to software, not hardware

Alright well I think I'm going to have to do some more research, as I don't get alot of terms since english isn't my main language (I'm a dutchie as you said). You unlock the bootloader at htcdev.com. I know how to do that I've done it before, once you unlock the bootloader you can flash the file 'super SU'? and then you have root acces?
No
1: unlock
2: flash a custom recovery
3: install su with that recovery
I need an HTC One M8 Telus/Koodo RUU for my phone. I flashed GPE Rom and it works great but i want the 5.0 update of my carrier but i can't flash it because i am on a custom rom so i would like to revert back to stock in order to flash the 5.0 update.
Any help or suggestion would be appreciated

Go back to stock, and take the OTAs. Then re-root and enjoy your new firmware.

Incorrect. This is the method that you use if you are not S-Off.
If you were S-Off, you would just update firmware manually, with no need to go back to stock.
thanks for your help!
ok the second link you posted led me to a canadian nandroid backup.
thanks a lot for your help man
Edit: my hboot is 3.18 and its the only one missing
what should i do?

I would suggest asking if anyone has a link to one in that thread.
I'm on Telus too, but I am running WWE firmware. I ALWAYS have the new firmware before Telus. Just sayin.
S-Off is a good thing to have. I know it seems like $25 is a lot to pay to get it, but if you think of all the hassle it saves trying to update firmware, and the other freedom it gives you (I'm using the Sprint Harman/Kardon version's audio files and ADSP) it is very reasonably priced.

Use 3.34.661.4 backup for 4.4.4 but wifi will not work on your device yet because you have hboot 3.18.0000
Find the 2.23.661.2 -> 3.34.661.4 - thanks @shaboobla on this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Extract out firmware.zip from that OTA zip (with 7-zip)
then you can flash this firmware in RUU mode (but you need to relock bootloader because your device is S-On)
Later .. you can check software update and accept OTA to 4.20.661.2

how would i flash a firmware in RUU mode? you mean like renaming it to some weird name like PG.... and placing it in root of sdcard and going in fasboot? or is it something else because tbh i have never heard of flashing something in RUU mode
thanks for your help, really appreciate it.
EDIT: I just found out i can go to RUU mode with "fastboot oem rebootRUU".
so i can flash the firmware with "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip"
thanks again for all your help guys

yea i was going to do it and also for the sake of completeness flashing the stock recovery(3.34.661.4) after the restore, just in case someone else has the same problem
You can do that but not really needed because the signed firmware.zip will restore stock recovery.

I just wanted to thank you guys for helping me out!
I did everything and now i am on android 5.0.1 (although i ran into a small problem: process com.android.phone is not responding, factory reset from recovery fixed it)
Hope this thread helps someone else with similar problems

Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but I'm trying to get my htc one m8 up and running again. It was functioning on lineage os but wasn't very stable, couldn't find any other roms that would successfully flash on it, I decided to try and go back to stock after a few beers one night night, now the phone has been sitting in a drawer with no os or recovery on it. There doesn't seem to be any still functioning links to any Canadian RUU's that I can use. I'm not s-off, bootloader is "relocked". I'd like to go back to stock marshmallow because I only use this thing to play music and as a tv remote. I'm hoping someone might have an old RUU lying around.
I guess if not my best option is just to unlock the bootloader again and try flashing the same lineage os again. Since I relocked does that mean I have to go through the htc website to get the unlock token again like I did ages ago? They probably don't even have this phone on there anymore. Hopefully I didn't actually turn this thing into a brick.

Photo link is coming up with 404 error for me. Better to do fastboot getvar all, then post the results (cut and paste from command prompt), so we can see all the info on the phone (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

If you can be more specific about which ROMs you tried (plus info about your device from getvar as noted above), then we might be able to advise why they did not flash. Did you get error messages, and if so, what exactly were they?
I decided to try and go back to stock after a few beers one night night, now the phone has been sitting in a drawer with no os or recovery on it.
What exactly did you do (step by step, with any relevant file names, etc. - more detail is better).
I presume you intentionally relocked the bootloader in attempt to run some RUU. But would like clarification on this (and where that happened in the sequence of events)

Far as I know, Canadian versions don't have RUU.

One option (maybe the best one) is to restore a stock TWRP back from the collection: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
You will need to unlock the bootloader to do this. You can either reuse the unlock bin code you used originally (if you still have it). Otherwise, you should be able to request a new bin code from HTCDev.com. Far as I know, that still works for this phone.
