[Q] Start anew

Hello,
To start off, I want to say that I DID search on this forum, for similar threads, and while I did find some, I couldn't find out how to do it.
My Phone:
HTC One X
S-ON
Rooted
Locked bootloader
ROM: Android Revolution HD
CID: HTC__E11
I flashed my current ROM a while ago, but I really cannot remember doing it and I deleted the backup I made before flashing (I always back up before flashing) because I thought I was running the stock ROM (without trouble) and I needed space.
What I want to do now, is get rid of EVERYTHING and just reset it to what it was when I first booted it, when that's all done, I want to root it again and unlock the bootloader.
The problem is that I can't find the appropriate RUU. I've been looking for it for a good while now, but I can't seem to find it.
I've downloaded OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27-2.17.401.2_release_298985n1wwcwzs385c0bvz.zip from
htcruu.com/ index.php?dir=Endeavor (not allowed to put links here, sorry) and I put that in my SDCard directory.
When I tried to flash it (I don't know whether I am supposed to or not, but I only got a .zip and no .exe...) it did not work.
If you need the error, tell me and I'll do it again.
Regards,
Pim

If you can't find a ruu, you can use a stock nandroid backup. You can find a collection of them at general if I remember correctly.

The ruu doesn't work because it's an OTA ....its just an update file ! Not the whole RUU
http://www.htcruu.com/securekey.php...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
this is the full RUU

Yes. Previous poster is correct. Download that file.
Do not put it on your sdcard.
Plug your phone into PC
Reboot into hboot by holding power & volume down for about 20seconds.
Press power button to go to fastboot
Open a cmd window and run fastboot oem lock to relock your bootloader
Run your ruu as administrator on your PC by right clicking and pressing open as administrator
Follow the instructions on your PC to flash the ruu

Thanks a lot, but I'm still having trouble :s
I connect my phone to my pc via USB when I am looking at these options on my screen:
- HBOOT
- REBOOT
- REBOOT BOOTLOADER
- POWER DOWN
When I type "fastboot oem lock" in cmd, I get the following response:
" 'fastboot' is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file ".
And when I run the RUU (as administrator) I get "Error [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR".

Do you have HTC drivers installed and java SDK platform files ?
Have you ever used fastboot commands ?
Do you have a fastboot folder on the pc with fastboot/adb files in it ? When you connect the phone to the pc and put in bootloader menu you should see something like fastboot USB
Download this
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
And put the folder in c:\
So you have
C:\fastboot\ files in the folder
Open a dosprompt in that folder and type
Fastboot devices while the phone is still in bootloader menu If it comes up with your serial its good

Thanks.
I installed Windows to do this (Nothing worked on Mac, and things like this are usually easier on Windows than on Mac), and I forgot to install these things again.
I'll try this in a sec and I'll report here when I'm done.

Hello,
First of all, I'd like to apologize for leaving so suddenly, but I had some other, more important, things on my mind.
Thanks for the link, but when I try to do that (and follow all the instructions I get on the screen), it all goes well, until just after "erasing user data", when I get the error as seen in the attachments.
When I started my phone, I had to fill in the basic questions, but I later found out that all my files were still there, while the apps themselves had been uninstalled...
I figured some general stuff out, and adb and fastboot are now *finally* working as they should.
Regards,
Pim
EDIT: Since I'm not quite sure whether or not the attachments are working, I uploaded them to imgur:
imgur. com/a/yMxph <= just remove the space before the between the "imgur." and "com/a/yMxph"

Well, I've just downloaded the correct RUU, but I'm currently getting error 155: unknown error...
I'm kinda clueless about what to do now...
Regards,
Pim

Download from the 2.17.401 ruu and try again.....otherwise flash back the stock recovery from the main version that you currently have
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
So the stock recovery should be 1.29 based

I used the same RUU I used before, but this time with relocked bootloader (forgot to relock that again), this time it worked!
I'm currently updating to Jelly Bean, and then I'll root it again etc. If I'm right, S-OFF is possible for the One X these days, right?
If so, would anyone know an easy and clear tutorial?
Regards,
Pim

Noone figured out the way to S-off for HOX yet, no.

Fixing your bricked/bootlooping htc one v (primoc/primou)

Before you start, you will need to set up your computer to properly recognize the phone. You probably did this when rooting originally, but just in case... Install SDK tools for Android, Java runtime, and HTC Sync.
About HTC Sync: The only reason you need HTC Sync installed is for the USB drivers that come with it. But the program itself has been known to cause conflicts. Make sure that HTC Sync is not running in the background by opening Task Manager in Windows and killing it if you find it lurking in there.
Here we go:
1. Download the correct RUU (ROM Update Utility) for your device from androidfiles.org. Make sure you download a Primo_C RUU for a CDMA device (no sim card) or a Primo_U RUU for a GSM device (uses a sim card)!! Also make sure you get the correct RUU for your carrier.
2. Charge the battery above 50% or for at least one hour. If the battery dies during the flashing process, you could hard brick the phone!
3. Run the RUU until the wizard comes up. While the RUU wizard is open, find the temporary folder it created. (Open Explorer in Windows and type %temp% in the navigation bar.) There will be two folders with long encrypted names. In one of them you will find ROM.zip. Open it with 7zip and extract recovery.img or recovery_signed.img. Put it in the location were you've installed Android SDK tools. This is the stock HTC Recovery and it is needed to run the RUU.
4. Boot the phone into bootloader (power off, hold down volume and press power) and highlight FASTBOOT using the volume rocker and pressing power. Then connect the USB cable. You should see FASTBOOT USB.
5. Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder where you installed Android SDK tools. Flash the stock recovery extracted in step 3 above using the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
6. Relock the bootloader using the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
7. Re-run the RUU. It will restore the device to it's original condition, locked (though *** RELOCKED ***) and unrooted.
Once the install is done you'll have unlock the bootloader again using the token you already have from the first time, reflash CWM Recovery and re-root. All this will be 10x easier than the first time.

How to get One X back to stock?

So I bought a second hand One X today. It's rooted and on Android Revolution rom.
How do I get the right RUU for my phone and how do install it etc.?
Thanks.

You need to perform a fastboot command
Fastboot getvar version-main
From there we can check for a ruu :thumbup:

Okay and how do I do that?

Oke here we go
Download the android sdk bundle (Google), unpack it and navigate to the platform tools folder ..... open a command window there
Point in the folder, hold shift + right mouse button and select "open command window here"
If you have HTC syncmanager installed ? Uninstall it but leave the drivers on .....
Then you put the phone in the bootloader by holding the power button + volume - button endlessly until you see the bootloader !!!
Then type this in the command window on the pc
Fastboot getvar version-main

It just says waiting for device. I have the correct drivers installed. Don't know what to do :/

Do you have MYHTC in the device manager in windows ?

No. And now I just can't get past fastboot, this thing is driving me nuts

Use CID Getter from the Play Store.

I have the right RUU. I just can't get out of fasboot/bootloader and my battery is lower than 30% so i can't install it.

Can you enter the custom recovery ?

No - However I've got it out of fastboot now. It boots and works etc. but its still on the custom rom.
I have my right RUU - after the phone is charged to 30%, can I just flash the RUU? Not having to re-lock the bootloader? Cos that's how I got here in the first place.

Oke ! To install the ruu you need to
Relock the bootloader
Keep the phone in the bootloader
Execute the ruu from the pc with admin rights

Yes but when I did that last time it got stuck in the bootloader.

Yeah well there is no other way to install a ruu

I did it and the RUU just got stuck on the "checking..." part

How do you know you got the right ruu ? First you state that you dont know how to perform the getvar version command, so you never know the exact right main version. If you take it from the running arhd rom its 3.14.401 or 2.17.401.....the software number from the custom rom has nothing to do with the real main version of the phone. It can be completely different

It's ok. its all sorted now RUU works
Thanks for your help

Good !
CASE CLOSED !

Can you tell me how you got the RUU to work after i got stuck? Mine gets stuck at Sending...... with just the gray hTC logo on the screen

Bricked, completely noob in HTC, need some help for a friend.

I'm not a HTC user myself, but my friend got his 816 on bootloop, and if he hold the power + vol- button in boot he will get the android robot screen, but not the menu which is supposed to come.
Sorry I'm a sony user and i'm not familiar with htc, the phone is not even on my hand but i'm just trying to flash the stock firmware again. Could someone give me a simplest possible guide，maybe something like flashtool on xperia.
And how do i completely shut down a HTC phone? it keeps rebooting itself with power and vol+
Thanks

First of all, to help, we'll need to know more specs of the phone..
If your in a bootloop, try holding vol +, vol - and power at the same time, once the screen is completely black, hold vol- and power. If you're doing it right, your device should boot in the boatloader. White background, phone specs at the top.
Please post this data, since we'll need to know the device model to help.
If this doesn't work, try to use adb commands.
First of all, make sure USB-Debugging is enabled on your device and all drivers are up-to-date (HTC Sync, Java and fastboot).
- Download ADB fastboot folder (just extract it to C:\ and you're good to go)
- Connect your device and PC using usb data cable
- Navigate to ADB folder and click on any free space while holding the shift Key
- Choose 'Open command window' here
- Once cmd is started use this command
Code:
fastboot devices
and check if your device is listed, then type
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
to reboot your device. It should start in fastboot mode.
And if that doesn't work either, try using
Code:
fastboot getvar all
instead of
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
and post the result.
Please make sure to delete the lines
(bootloader) serialno: and (bootloader) meid: since they won't be needed. Never post your imei on the internet.

1. When you hold the power button + volume down, are you able to boot into hboot? (white screen with phone specs) if you are, please post that screen.
2. Have you installed all drivers for the device? (HTC Sync, Java and ADB)
If yes,
- Navigate to ADB folder and click on any free space while holding the shift Key
- Choose 'Open command window here'
- Once cmd is started use this command
Code:
fastboot devices
and check if your device is listed, then type
Code:
fastboot getvar all
and copy/paste code here.
If no,
