Right basically i have a HOX and i want CM 10.1 on it! I have already rooted it with CWM recovery and still running the stock ICS 4.04, my HBOOT is version 1.12 and my CID is HTC__001. I have read that you need at least HBOOT version 1.31 to flash any JB rom but ive also read that once you flash the ROM you have to flash the BOOT.IMG after and it will work?? Help please!
and i keep seeing people refering to fastboot commands, i have fastboot files but not entirely sure how they work?? any help much appreciated
Did you alter the stock rom ..... Removed any system apps or something like that . Otherwise flashing back the stock recovery might be enough to update to JB
Ok so i guess being on HBOOT 1.12 doesnt matter, but i dont get how to flash the BOOT.IMG after flashing the ROM using fastboot. I dont want to go into it not knowing what im doing :laugh:

Yeah i deleted lots of bloatware and general crap i wont use. That was 1 thought i had if i updated the official firmware it would also update the hboot but didnt think it would be possible after rooting. If you hadnt guessed im a bit of a noob to this :laugh:
Edit : oke flashing the stock recovery won't work. You have to choices
1 flash a standalone firmware to lift your hboot
2 run the matching ruu to install the phone back to stock and then update to JB
Mr Hofs said:
You are now on stock rom , android 4.0.4 .... I guess when you flash back the stock 2.17 recovery back you can update with the official ota from HTC

Sorry, i always get paranoid when doing stuff like this haha but yes that's it
Now i assume your bootloader is still unlocked ?
First you Google for the ANDROID SDK PACKAGE. Download it and unpack it, check in the package for a folder named PLATFORM TOOLS, in there you see a file named FASTBOOT.EXE
In that folder you open a command window and type there (with the phone in the bootloader)
Fastboot devices
When a serial comes out you are good to go !
This file will bring the phone back to stock. back up what you need ....also the sdcard !!!
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
Download that file, put the phone in the bootloader and lock the bootloader with a fastboot command
Fastboot oem lock
The bootloader will restart with a warning sign, that's oke
Then keep it in the bootloader and execute the ruu from the pc with administrator rights.
Follow the program !
Ok thanks but i need help with these fastboot commands where do i do this from pc or phone? And how
Oh wait nevermind it looks like i completely ignored most of your post lol
If you have 1.5 hours i can help on teamviewer ? If you want !
Thanks mate ill give it a go myself if i get stuck anywhere i shall write on here
Sure mate ! Good luck ... Check for the collection of firmwares ....ready to flash :thumbup:
Mr Hofs said:
In that folder you open a command window and type there

How do i do this? If i double click fastboot.exe i see CMD open and close real quick?
The trick is to open a command window inside that folder where the fastboot file is. Usually done by holding shift and right click in that folder - open command window here
There you need to type the commands. (Its in a dos commando window)
Ahhhh okay thanks i didnt know how to open it in a specific folder cheers will give it a go in the morning :good:
Im back to stock downloading the software update now woop woop thank you so much for your help!! I guess once its done i just unlock the bootloader again and can flash CM?
You used the ruu ? Then yes update the phone as much as you can
And yes unlock, flash a custom recovery DO A NANDROID BACKUP ASAP! and then you start flashing roms :thumbup:

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.

2- then flash the stock recovery for my device thanks alot alot in advance really appreciate every one that is trying to help thank u guys
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..
Hello everyone.
I just rooted my phone using hasson2000 all in one tool kit, and everything works great.
I am in the UK, with network called Three. (currently waiting for the JB update)
I am currently running android 4.0.4 with sense 4.1.
My question to you folks is will be able to receive OTA updates?
I have heard having a unlocked boot loader prevents the phone from receiving OTA updates.... is this true ?
And will re-locking the bootloader mean I will be able to download OTA update?
I know this is a lot to ask, but as this is my first time I am still what you might call me a noob.
Any help would me much appreciated.
Regards,
Shaazzaarr.
If you did NOT make any changes to the rom, like deleting bloatware and system apps. Then you are still able to fully update the phone. Bootloader can stay unlocked and root too. Don't worry about that.
What you need is
1: stock rom (root is no problem)
2: stock boot.img
3: stock recovery

Hey thanks for the reply.
I'm using the stock rom, haven't touched anything. But i am not using the stock recovery - currently using twrp.
Will i still be able to receive ota updates with a custom recovery? or do I have to do the whole ruu thing?
No you can check and receive ota's you are just not able to actually update, you need to flash back the stock recovery to update. That's all :thumbup:

Thats good news.
Say I decide to update my phone, can I just flash the stock factory recovery?
And does flashing stock recovery mean I lose super su and root previlages?
Hey, I appreciate all the help.
Thanks.
No you only lose the SU when you officially update the phone. Flashing back the stock recovery will not change the rom or root !

So, I don't have to do anything except flash the stock recovery when a update is available. Right? And no need of rru right?
Correct

Hey thanks for the quick response.
Shall I just flash it as I flashed the twrp recovery?
will this get rid of twrp recovery?
I really do appreciate your time and effort. :highfive:
Yeah if you rename my file to
Recovery.img
Then copy it to the fastboot folder on the pc, put the phone in fastboot usb mode and flash with commands
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
This will flash the stock over the twrp recovery ....then you are able to receive and update the phone

Fastboot files as you wish
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
But isn't the tool capable of flashing a provided recovery ( like the stock i gave you ) ?
I never use tools
Place the files in a folder like this
C:\fastboot\*fastboot and adb files from my link*
From there you can run the command in a dosprompt so its looks like this
C:\fastboot\fastboot erase cache
And put the phone in bootloader menu before you run the command, hold the power button and the volume down button together until it restarts to the bootloader (you should see there the text *fastboot usb*)
Then you can flash ....

I would be happy tho if i can flash it to same rooted state as it was as long i get it working again.
Can someone give me some pointers pls, the way that thread with instruction is written is very hard for me to understand because some basic steps are skipped prob because orger understand them but im very nooby and cant work with it

ok, i think you've tried to flash a stock rom without flashing a stock recovery !!.
do you have fasboot adb on your pc ?
you need to unlock your bootloader and re flash a custom recovery
if not search the dev section for a tool that will unlock your boot and re-flash a custom recovery for you-all the instructions are on there.
once you have re unlocked and flashed a custom recovery,go into recovery and see if there are any backups of the previous rom (nand)
see if that works ..

If you wanna go back to stock and are stuck at bootloop you have to flash the boot.omg file for your stockrom .

According to the hboot (1.12) you need a 2.17 based ruu .... but i can't find it !
Tthe basic steps now are
Unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery

Get your nandroid backup there,(the vodap021 2.17) you need to flash the boot.img file from that nandroid with fastboot commands, then do a full wipe in recovery and restore the nandroid.
But you still have to fix the fastboot part right ? You need to install android SDK/java SDK and the HTC drivers. Then you have to put the phone in the bootloader and open a commandprompt from inside the folder where the adb/fastboot files are located ...they are in a subfolder in the installed javaSDK install folder

Thanks, it is beginning to make some sense to me now.
So first bit I got to do is the fastboot issue, which is tha last bit you mentioned right?
And after unlock boot loader than flash the recovery with one you provided in the link, tx
So that means I will go back to stock right?
Yes unlock, flash custom recovery, flash boot.img, full wipe in recovery, restore the nandroid, flash back the stock recovery .....
And yes this way you go back to stock and i will also give you the download link for the stock recovery. This one is the last you flash after restoring everything
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
Then you are able to update to JB from within the phones software update menu :thumbup:
Ps you do not have to relock the bootloader anymore !

Please guys, iWe spent all day trying to figure it out, after wipe phone reboots constantly and when if boot screen it's not charging so I'm prob going to run out of battery in a couple of hours
You restore through the custom recovery. Power+vol , choose recovery. If you flashed the recovery ok then you can do from in there. Ie mount usb, copy over your nand backup and restore it. You may have to flash the boot.img using fastboot.

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?
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.

ok the second link you posted led me to a canadian nandroid backup.
thanks a lot for your help man

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.

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.
Please see my comments in red font below:

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).
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,
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.
