I have an HTC one x that i bought has been rooted, on aftermarket software. Mainver is 4.78.61.6.. i am trying to return to stock.
I cant install RUU as the RUU available is ICS and can not downgrade as mainver is too high, nor can i obtain a JB RUU as a telecom nz JB ruu does not exist.
I have tried everything and searched fourms for months.
flashing ruu / firmware.zip or rom.zip always comes back with an error, signature error or mainver error. from what i can tell this mainver does not exist anywhere in the world it is FAR too high to even upgrade to any existing JB stock software.
i tried extracting rom.zip from telecom nz ics firmware and matching the mainver to be the same is the only way to return to stock using customRUU or ruu flash tool... BUT when it updates to the 4th or 5th update (system update just bofore the JB update) it freezes on boot, and does lots of weird things suck as booting into recovery / ruu / fastboot.
i have tried flashing telnz001 nandroid backup of ICS (JB not available)
everything is returned to factory spec when i do this, relocked, stock recovery etc
its on an older version of hboot (the one included in stock telnz001)
Cant upgrade hboot.
tried misc tool to change mainver to 1.00.00.0 BUT IT DOESNT WORK.
ALL that will run on it is a aftermarket rom.
IS there any other way to change the mainver?
would a nandroid backup of JB on telnz001 work?
why would it fail or play up on upgrades OTA ( mainver is NEWER than the OTA updates )
really need to return to stock and upgrade to JB
thanks
I don't seem to recognize that main version, can you check and tell me what your bootloader says. The top 3-4 lines .....

The Main version is reading 3.27.000.0 now after installing latest carbon 4.2.2 if this helps any
You need the main version that comes out with fastboot command.
Fastboot getvar version-main
The main number on a custom rom doesn't say anything. When you flash a wwe rom it will change to something like 3.14.401 or 2.17.401 for example.
You need the main version that is embedded in the hboot version.
Do the fastboot command and check if its the same number as stated in the opening post. If its different it might be useful

Yeh I have looked and cannot find anything either any ruu I use gets to around 80% then crashes with wrong boot error , they are the Telecom ones.Frustrating as well .
Mainver is higher than any mainver that exists for htc one.
I found out the androidinfo.txt in a zip file was updated in attempt to roll back software to ICS.
so basically i have two questions,
Is there ANY possible way to downgrade mainver. I have tried misc tool and cannot get it to work.
My other question is does anyone have a nandroid backup of JB for CID TELNZ001
and if i can get the backup all i need to do is upgrade the hboot. which i have also tried and have not been able to achieve.
Could someone please upload a backup image for cwm of JB TELNZ001 with updates included. and hboot file.
Or a firmware.zip with JB system, hboot, boot and recovery for TELNZ001.
thanks =]
im afraid there is nothing you can do...
if your hboot doesn't support JB you're out of luck
except hope that when sense 5 arrives it, comes with a higher main ver

Thing is. . I can update hboot.i have telnz001 hboot 1.39 i think. from memory. i just need to flash it. but i need the nandroid backup
You have hboot 1.12 that's a ics hboot, not a JB hboot.

i like how thats from a different username.. i didnt write that lol
my username is misterr.mann
I wrote that i had a ics hboot im not denying that, the part you missed was i have the 1.39 hboot for jb, which i can flash and am flashing right this second, although its not going to help me as it fails on OTA update, so what im saying is once im on hboot 1.39 ill still have that EXACT same issue, as my main ver is higher than any one that exists it wont ota update. so once hboot 1.39 is on all i will need is nandroid backup of JB telnz001, literally all i asked for was this nandroid backup rom.zip or firmware.zip
My mistake :thumbdown:
Okay so my HTC one is reverted completly back to stock (used custom ruu with system.img boot.img androiinfo.text etc)
I had to edit android txt file to MATCH my existing mainver.
After 2.17 update phone boots, gets to o lock ring, and reboots. does this constantly... non stop. my main ver is still higher then cicomming update mainver is still 3.78
i have a file for OTA update zip
file name:
OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_Telecom_NZ_WWE_3.17.781.2-2.17.781.3_release_304681lsq8o9k2p8n4minf.zip
now there is no RUU for JB
My question is how can i install this update, i still have hboot for ics 1.12.0000
contents in OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_Telecom_NZ_WWE_3.17.781.2-2.17.781.3_release_304681lsq8o9k2p8n4minf
contains firmware.zip with hboot 1.39
so i can extract hboot file
i can fully extract the entire firmware.zip contained in the OTA update.
But am having issues flashing through fastboot, and in RUU mode it comes back 99 unknown error
Im stuck between a rock and a hard place as both options for update fail
i tried creating a firmware.zip containing android txt file with my current mainver hboot 1.39 boot.img and recovery.img
yet this update fails.
any help would be appreicated thanks

i need to upgrade my 0.43.0000 hboot in order to install JB.
my stock is 2.17.401.2 and i have HTC_044.
i tried to reload 2.17.401.2 RUU but it fail to load it (error 155).
Well there's something wrong there because your hboot does not match your "stock". Run:
fastboot getvar version-main

You could install this, which would wipe your phone:

But that won't get you a JB hboot.
Or you could go to the thread with JB firmwares in it and download an updated firmware, if your CID is supported, which I think it is. I thought there was a 3.14.707 RUU, but couldn't see it on htcruu.

Hi
Having some issues with HOX
My mainver is: 3.78.61.6 HIGER THAN ANY EXISTING MAINVER POSSIBLE
I can ONLY install stock software via CustomRUU as i need to match mainver to = 3.78.61.6 WHICH IS HIGHER THAN JB!!!
ONCE INSTALLED I CAN NOT OTA UPGRADE because MainVer is HIGHER than JB update.
So it just crashes after installed (At Lock Ring). Because stock is installed i MUST do OTA update as phone insists i update.
JB RUU DOES NOT EXIST for my CID BUT OTA JB UPDATE DOES
Cid: TELNZ001
hboot 1.12.000 (BUT UPDATE IS INCLUDED IN OTA)
I have the ota zip file, which has FOLDERS not IMG so is not flashable.
HOWEVER DOES contain Firmware.zip with HBOOT 1.39 FOR TELNZ001 in it but is not flashable.
I have two questions:
Can anyone help me to downgrade / fool mainver, so i can revert back to stock and OTA to JB
OR
IS there a way to flash the hboot.img from OTA update.
I CANNOT flash firmware.zip from OTA as its CORRUPT and has been CORRUPT from every download site.
Thanks

Lol no matter what i post i get completly different answers than im actually looking for.
I know there is a way to charge mainver on some htc phones.
no one seems no one has a telnz001 JB backup.
and im having trouble flashing the hboot img
if i can flash the boot img i can run a jb rom...
What's the problem with flashing then ?
problem with flashing hboot?
There is NOTHING telling me how to flash the hboot.img file itself except for ruu / firmware.zip WHICH come back with errors, through fastboot i get error 99 unknown.
i cant flash it via the firmware.zip as mainver in the OTA JB ZIP is too low. either that or i need to find a way to sign the zip which is impossible.
and if i rebuild it ( make the mainver higher in the text file higher to match my mainver which is 2.76.xx.xx ) it refuses to flash.
the problem is .... i cant flash the hboot as it appears the only way is via ruu / ruu mode with firmware.zip
which is because my mainver is 3.76.xx.xx
next problem is even IF i could flash firmware.zip or ruu to an OLDER version is it updates the stock software to 2.17 but mainver still remains 3.76.xx.xx so its impossible to do the jb update which is 3.17.xx.xx
does a zip exist to make my mainver 1.00.00.00 as i would just be able to flash ruu and OTA and it will work
ive tried the mainver fixes and nothing has worked so far.
An older firmware.zip is never gonna work, you need S-OFF for that. The best is to get a nandroid backup ..... it doesn't matter if that is older or not. When you get hands on a nandroid you can restore it and update with official ota. Even if its an old one. The hboot will stay the same during updstes. The only thing that get updated is the software.
as far as I read about this, you can never downgrade with S-ON
if you want to keep using Sense , You need to look for a backup for your CID.
and I think you're probably figured that out by now
I think rephrasing the question might help you get someone to aid
and maybe you can upload the Firmware.zip for advanced developers to look at, you might get lucky and someone find an answer to you problem
anyway, you can read This , it's about Unlocking CID TELNZ001, might help?

I ony have one little problem with restoring from nandroid...
that is:
it does a couple of updates before the jb update is available
so it hits the 2.17 update maybe the update just after that and gets stuck on the lock screen and constantly reboots.
Very fustrating phone now in boot loop after OTA update.
does this EVERY time

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.
Sent from my IceCold One X
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.

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?

You'd need s-off in order to unbrand, which is not available for our hox.

Hi guys,
I got a HOX with CID VODAP102.
Using HBOOT 0.94.0000 and main version 1.28.161.9
Radio uknown ('none' says bootloader)
I want to update to JB, specifically CM10.1.
But i need to update my HBOOT, though can't seem to figure out how with my CID...
How would i go about this? The threads i found are either inconclusive or with different versions.
Oh yeah, this didn't work because of the CID thing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003
edit; just noticed, i already did the fastboot flash boot boot.img. So now i have a boot.img with an older version of the CM software. Which appearantly does not boot.
Thanks, Ice
are you rooted and unlocked?

Rooted and unlocked. Been running CM10 for a while (beta's).
Device is still S-on though; but thats for all HOX's i think?
yeah, however to update your HBOOT you need to download the right firmware package for your CID here
Code:
# adb reboot bootloader
# fastboot oem lock
# fastboot oem rebootRUU
# fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
# fastboot reboot
now you need to unlock it again and flash a custom recovery... and that's it, flash whatever you want now
well that did it! at least; the phone boots again.
rebooted to bootloader and that now says hboot 1.36 which probably means i can update to 10.1.
just to be sure; i need to install CWM again, copy the boot.img and flash cm10.1?
ill try that tonight. just glad i can be reached again.. need the phone for work
Thanks!
edit; oh and unlock the bootloader again. Or is that not necessary since i should already have root access?

dont use any of those, you're best option is to go completely stock by using an ruu from the link I will post at the end for you. when you go to the page the ruu that you want is the 7th from the bottom, it will be version 1.28.161.9 and should be 609MB. start downloading it then there are some other things that you need to do in the meantime>>>>>http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Endeavor make sure it matches exactly the version I have stated
My Hboot is 1.39
and i wanted to know what is the latest Hboot for this CID
as i saw some guys here having the same CID and have Hboot v1.73
So can someone help before i screw up my phone ?
BTW i am currently with ARHD 31.3
Also , My stock backup is gone , so thats an issue and i didn't find a ruu for my phone.
Some hints :
Fastboot getvar version-main
That command gives you the nand number you need. Check in the general section for the nandroid backup collection. And restore the one you need if it's available for download. After restore you need to flash back the stock recovery and update. How to is described there too.
And yes there are updates waiting for you.
Cheers.
Ruu is not available indeed. And if there is no nand available just keep on using a sense 5 rom if you want. All current roms work on your 1.39 hboot.

If you wish to update the hboot, all u need to do is do a nandroid restore to 4.0.4 (which is available in this forum)..fastboot flash stock boot.img, and fastboot flash stock recovery.img and lastly relock the bootloader..then update your phone normally via OTA to get the latest rom and hboot..unlock and install custom roms...that's it...
And do NOT loose another stock backup again !
Edit :
Relocking the bootloader is not needed. The 1.29 and the 3.16 are available. The 1.29 is probably of no use because i don't think you find official ota with that anymore. The 3.16 may be of use but therefore we need your main. If your main is lower you cant use it either !
You can find them here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
@amirage where is the 4.0.4 ? I can't see it at this moment.....another thread ?
1.29 = 4.0.3
3.16 = 4.1.1
