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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
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

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

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:

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 .

Just wondering if it's okay for me to flash, I'm hoping it will be.
I've unlocked my bootloader and pushed SuperSU to my phone, so now I want to flash a ROM and Android Revolution HD looks pretty popular.
In my bootloader my HBOOT is 1.39.0000 and my CID is H3G_001
Just wondering because I'm not sure about HBOOTs and CIDs, but if all is fine I'll go ahead and flash
Thanks!

Also quickly, I've just done a backup in CWM and when viewing the files, I've got .android_secure, cache_ext4, data_ext4, system_ext4, recovery.img and boot.img
Is that a nandroid backup to allow me to revert to stock?
Yes :thumbup:
!! Important !!
Do make a nandroid backup before flashing, cause it will be hard to go back to stock without a leaked RUU.

Uuh he just stated 2 posts above you that already made a nandroid backup.......
Sleepy ?
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.

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.
Hi i have been given a HOX to look at and it's had me stumped for the last 24 hours so now i'm asking for help. Here we go.
The phone has no IMEI/Baseband. The fasboot getvar all command returns the correct IMEI to the box but it just doesn't show in android so no signal at all stuck on airplane mode etc. It's a TMOB005 cid.
Tried loads of custom roms and methods no signal.
Tried to return to stock to flash stock RUU. My main 3.16.110.4 so try RUU RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_TMO_UK_2.17.110.5_Radio_2.1204.137U.21_release_284360_signed.exe it fails with script error and all other RUU fail at bootloader version.
I downloaded recommended nandroid for my main. 2012-10-29.07.35.43 from thread on here. Flashed boot img in fastboot. Flashed stock 1.29 recovery. Got the small 1.25mb OTA but then nothing after that and still no signal.
Tearing my hair out now. HBOOT is 1.39. Let me know if i've missed any info please any ideas now will help.
Oke i will give it a go !
You restored a 2.17 nandroid backup ? And flashed back a 1.29 stock recovery ?
In this case your rom won't respond to touch on screen ! You say your main version is 3.16 then you need a nandroid backup with at least that number....and a stock 3.16 recovery and not a 1.29 one
So.....enlighten me ?
Now you have me all confused?! The touch screen works fine with the stock recovery i flashed. It's one you recommended to someone else in a TMOB005 thread i saw. I'm not sure recovery is the real issue here anyway. The issue is not being able to flash an RUU, stock not doing the OTA it only reports the small one 1.25MB. Never asked for Jellybean OTa it just doesn't want to work.
The nandroid should be correct too as it's a TMOB005 one too.
If you can help let's start from my main as we know that's 100% right.
So what nandroid stock rom do i need, what recovery and anything else required?
Thanks for reply so far.
Oke you need a stock nandroid backup 3.16 if you have it (or already restored it) that's good then. Now we need your stock 3.16 recovery and not the 1.29 one.....
Is your 3.16 number matching this command ?
Fastboot getvar version-main
Ok I'll check when I'm at home next, I'll still appreciate any help/ideas/input from anyone. I'm sure my version matches the one with the version main command.
Does the recovery version have to match too? Where would I find the relevant one?

Thanks and is the nan droid I mentioned the correct one at all? Like I say it offers the small OTA does that have any significance?
Is there no possible way to flash ANY RUU?!
If the nandroid matches the main version number 3.16.110 then you have indeed the correct one. And no a ruu is not available so that's not possible atm.
I saw something about an RUU hack where it makes it think you have an older version or is that not possible any more? The custom RUU file isn't available for download any more.
Well its probably possible for some, but if the phone has updated touch drivers then its of no use. Ics and lower roms don't work because touchscreen doesn't respond !
And the OP is on 3.16 so that's a no go.
From 3.14 and lower it could work.
"fastboot getvar version-main" returns that my main is definitely 3.16.110.4. So what nandroid for definite matches and what recovery? Can anyone provide links please? Is 3.16.110.4 supposed to be Jellybean?!
Yes 3.16 is Jellybean. And the recovery will be in the nandroid backup, as well as the boot.img.
Will the nandroid backup not have clockwork mod recovery in it as that is required to make the backup?!
Hold on....
you have the 3.16.110 nandroid backup ?
No i have a main of 3.16.110.4. I have the 2.17.110.5 nandroid as i understand this should work for OTA as i read in another thread. As long as the red part matches. I have installed a 3.16 stock recovery too yet STILL not being offered the proper OTA (still get the 1.25MB one) plus the phone is still stuck without IMEI or baseband.
EDIT:
This guy you helped here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204955 was offered the OTA after using the same nandroid as me so what's going on?!
Well give it a go then !!!
Here is the 2.17 stock recovery......trying to recall what i missed/forgot.

Still no offer of the OTA hmm. It's such a shame we can't change CID or flash any RUU as I'm sure that would help me. I'm just stuck and this phone is useless.
What ota are you talking about anyway ? Restore the 2.17 nandroid and the 2.17 stock recovery and then ota up to JB !

That's exactly my aim but it's not happening.i've restored the correct nandroid (100% certain) unless there is a 3.16 nandroid? Then i've tried with stock recovery 3.16 and 2.17 both times. The only OTA i get offered is the first 1.25MB one and that's it nothing after it. Tried with bootloader locked and unlocked although this shouldn't matter.
Do you need GSM signal to be offered the OTA? As if you do i'll never get offered it as i don't have an IMEI or baseband etc.
I appreciate all the help you are offering Mr Hofs i see you have helped a LOT of people on here.
Just tried the recovery 2.17 that you uploaded as it's a diferent size to the ones i've previously tried but still no luck. No OTA at all.
Is stock recovery supposed to just show a red triangle? It's shows green first then changes to a red triangle ni'm not sure this is right even with bootloader locked.
Does recovery have to match as in 2.17.110?
No this stock 2.17 recovery works on branded phones too, its weird but indeed it could be related to no baseband and imei !
I want the stock back. I want to update my phone to the new update that just arrived with sense 5.
My Cid is Y13 and my fastboot versioncheck said 3.20.401.
I've been googling and found some info that there's no RUU for me. What should i do then?
I've rooted my phone like a few months ago, and I'm running the stock rom. Flashed kernel etc if that matters.
I'm kind of a rookie in the subject so no hate thanks.

You can only relock when also the cid match. After 1 official ota you can again relock the bootloader at wish because the cid will be good again after the update.

That ruu does not work. When you unlock the bootloader and flash a custom rom you need to make nandroid backup. That ruu could not wipe your phone because it doesn't install at all ! Now you can only return to stock with a stock nand backup.

You can't downgrade to 4.0.4 if you are not S-OFF. And no S-OFF for HOX
