[Q] Downgrade

My HOX is currently running ARHD 18.2 and i have a hboot 1.39 and i want to go back to stock
1)i can't find JB ruu for j_15
2)do i need to downgrade my hboot in order to flash a ICS ruu
3)how to downgrade

You cant downgrade in any way unless you have an s-off device. You need a stock nandroid backup !
Just checked ... there is a nandroid backup available for you

Restore it including the boot.img and you are back on stock

i have a nandroid backup i made i when i first rooted my device.

I can only go to the stock JB now or i can never go to stock again??

What do you mean exactly. If you have a stock nandroid backup you are actually going back to stock ....

does other numbers matters apart from 415 because it has to backups 3.16.415.4|1.29.415.x.and i have a stock ruu rom that i installed once has no's 2.17.415.2

i get it

Depends on what you really want. The nandroid backup 3.16.415 is the stock JB......the ruu with 2.17 won't work anymore because of the updated hboot.

i just want to get back to stock cuz my phone is acting crazy like all of a sudden preparing sim,heating up in normal use etc

Ah like that. According to your hboot (1.39) you have to restore the 3.16 nandroid backup. That's the stock one matching your hboot number

is there anything else i should knw

You need to flash the boot.img, do a full wipe in the custom recovery and restore the nandroid. Then you will have the stock software back on the phone :thumbup:

THANKS

one more thing can i keep custom recovery with my stock rom or i have to flash stock recovery in any case

No you can run the rom fine with a custom recovery.....the only thing you can't do is update the phone with official ota

Is it possible to downgrade hboot from 1.39?
I think my hox failed when i upgraded to 1.39. I have tried all diffrent kind of roms and RUU.
The symtoms: The desk freeze up and I have to use powerbutton to get the panel to work again. And it sometimes start flickering and I have to use powerbutton to get it straight. The wifi don't work when i wakeup the phone, I have to restart wifi to get in running.

No not possible unless your phone is S-Off but that's very unlikely.....
You cab however flash the standalone firmware again to make sure your bootloader/hboot is without errors
You can check this thread for that .

Thanks for assisting.

Downgrading 3.20?

Seeing as there is no 3.20 RUU yet is there anyway I can return to stock on a 3.20 base?
My CID is HTC__001

Yes with a nandroid backup

Ok thanks for that, do I need to relock the bootloader after the backup? Also do I need a 3.20 nandroid backup or can I use a 3.14 one?

No, you need to restore a 3.20.401 nandroid backup (assuming that's the one you are after) and flash back a 3.14 stock recovery. Then you are able to update with official ota's

Yes ideally I need a 3.20 backup, just looking for one now.

Backup + recovery

Thanks for that. So I restore the backup first, then flash stock recovery? Can I not flash my 3.14 RUU after that?

I'm looking to flash my unrooted One X, (Wifi signal has been dodge for a while, factory reset didn't resolve it). I'm the same HTC_001 3.20.401.1. Can I just drop the boot and recovery files in the root of my phone's storage then just boot into recovery mode and go from there?

No you can't do that. Is the bootloader unlocked ? If not you can't do anything. If it is is unlocked you can install an older stock rom based on 3.14.

[Q] HBOOT 1.31 get to Stock

Hey guys, I got a problem.
I'm on HBOOT 1.31 right now.
Version: 3.14.401.619
I want to flash a Stock RUU and lock the device again.
I found this RUU:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
In the thread was a hint that these is for HBOOT 1.36
So i can't install this. If I try, I get an 155 error message.
I thought if I'm on a lower Hboot I could flash RUU's with higher Hboots without problems?!
What can I do? Update Hboot to 1.36 and try to flash the RUU again?
Or is there another way?
I trying for hours now and don't now what to do anymore.

Fastboot oem readcid
What comes out of that ?

I got
HTC__102

Well what you can try is to fully restore a 2.17.401 nandroid backup and flash back the stock 2.17 recovery and update again to 3.14 ! Its the last 3 digits that are off. Think that's the reason why a ruu won't work in this case !
Link to nandroid

Link to stock recovery

Unpack the nandroid to the sdcard. Flash the boot.img from the nandroid, make a full wipe in recovery and restore the nandroid. Then flash back the stock recovery and boot into android OS and update via official ota.....
Do NOT relock the bootloader !!!

if using nandroid backup relock is not necessary will also work with unlocked bootloader tried many times its working..
he just have to be sure to use stock boot.img and stock recovery from nandroid or the mainversion

No OX RUU available?

Hi,
I'm trying to bring my HOX back to stock, but can't seem to find a RUU fitting for the device. The version info is the following:
PS C:\adb> .\fastboot.exe getvar version-main
version-main: 3.18.401.1
finished. total time: 0.076s

My HBOOT is 1.39.0000. my CID is HTC__102. I can't seem to find a RUU for 3.18.401, only an OTA is available at http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Endeavor. When I try to find a Nandroid backup I can find some links on the collection thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140 but the links are dead.
Does anyone know how I can get my phone back to factory settings?
Thanks in advance, guys!

Use another 3.18.401 nand backup, restore it, flash back the stock recovery and update the phone by official ota. After that you can relock the bootloader if you wish.

So restoring a nandroid backup doesn't require having the right CID?

It's more connected with main version. CID is also somehow connected to the main version. Do as Mr. Hofs said, and you will be fine.

Indeed what Mr [email protected] says. You can indeed restore a 401 nand from any cid, but it needs at least one official OTA to pull the cid back to your original.
So basically it's restore a 3.18.401 from any cid, then flash back the stock 3.18 recovery
This one works

Then do at least 1 ota and relock the bootloader after that if you wish. Not necessary ofcourse !
