[TUT] Re-flash stock ROM (RUU) after bricking a rooted device (for noobs)

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.
If you do re-root your phone, be 100% you backup the stock ROM in ClockworkMod Recovery before making changes!

Hi
Thanks for that perfect decsription exactly when I needed it
I just had a weired effect with my new windows 7 laptop that I want to share.
I installed the USB drivers and "fastboot devices" showed my HTC fine
but even flashing the stock recovery image was not working.
So it was stucking in the "Sending" part and never continued.
I then moved to my old laptop with Vista did exactly the same things
and there it worked without problems.
I disabled virus scanner, checked for htsync and used the original USB cable
without success.
But now I know why I normally never touch Windows and only
work on linux

Use the correct RUU package for your device

Another way of saying it is that you downloaded the wrong RUU for your device.

not working
it keeps on saying waiting for device n does not proceed further
i tried installing the drivers again but that doesnt help either
pls help me out

I use fastboot flasher for this.. this tool is good .

"Waiting for Device" at fastboot usually related to bootloader driver. You need Android USB Driver

Hi folks,
I've bought my One V in late may and I had 2.08 ROM.
Now I've tested some roms and I wanted to revert back to stock rom.
I've downloaded RUU_PRIMO_U_ICS_40A_HTC_Europe_2.08.401.2_Radio_20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.18_M_release_263376_signed, and got recovery_signed and boot_signed images. Then I've went to fastboot, did flash recovery and boot partitions, and oem locked bootloader. Afterwards I booted my phone and entered PIN. Then I fired up RUU*.exe file, and I have 155 error. What the heck? Something I missed?
greetings!

Flashing RUU to revert to stock
- you must have the correct RUU for your device.
- if you are not sure, download CID Getter from Play Store and run it, it will show your CID.
- with your CID, you may be able to find a correct RUU for your device
then (even though some people may not agree with this, but this will bring no harm and it is noob-proof) do this:
1- flash a stock recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
2- flash a stock boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
3- re-lock bootloader
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
4- flash RUU
NOTE: There is no boot/reboot and enter pin in between.

[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

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?

You're on a custom ROM mate!
Sent from my One X

You just got this phone, so presumably you have not unlocked the bootloader, or obtained root access, right? It could be that your provider just hasn't gotten around to getting the update to it's users yet (as is the case currently for some providers in NZ, but not all). Your android version is the lastest iteration of Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) just before Jelly Bean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history#Android_4.0.3-4.0.4_Ice_Cream_Sandwich_.28API_level_15.29
Didn't even notice the custom ROM, DOH!
Titanium backup your apps and data, save onto PC, flash back to stock ROM, flash back to stock recovery, update software, flash custom recovery, create nandroid backup of new stock setup, check for custom ROM that supports the new JB and flash it (if you screw this up you'll appreciate the nandroid backup), see if you can use your Titanium backup to restore your apps and data.

Do these fastboot commands
Fastboot oem readcid
Fastboot getvar version-main
Lets see what we can do !

bro really appreciate your reply but to be very honest am just beginner as far as android is concerned and literally i didnt get what you said :s can you please kindly tell me step by step please. and one more thing its there any chance for demage or something if i go for flash or something, its my 1st android cell

If you follow us the chance of breaking things are very . . very small
Oke install the HTC drivers
http://db.tt/gXVxa3Dp
Download these fastboot files
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
Put the fastboot files in a folder like this
C;\fastboot\fastboot files from my link
Now hold the power button and the volume - button together untill it restarts into the bootloader. Don't let go of the two buttons untill you are in it !
Connect the phone to the pc and check if you see on the phone
FASTBOOT USB
then open a command prompt inside the fastboot folder on the pc (right click in the folder and open command prompt here)
Type this
Fastboot devices
If your serial pops up its good and then you also do the 2 other commands i gave you a post earlier
Edit: the chance of damage is so small because there is no s-off for our devices. Practically the only way to brick the device is if you flash stuff that is not ment for out HTC one x !

yes i performed all 3 commands but first tell me how to reopen my cell from fastboot usb

You can type
Fastboot reboot
Or unplug the cable and navigate with the volume buttons to REBOOT .... maybe you have to press HBOOT once to see the REBOOT option on screen
Confirm with the power button the action you choose
What was the outcome of the commands

ok what i get
fastboot devices
ht241w125067 fastboot

Download this RUU
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
charge the batt to 100% before you start this
Put the phone in fastboot usb mode and open the fastboot prompt on the pc, relock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
Keep the phone in fastboot usb mode with the locked bootloader and right click the RUU.exe file on the pc and select
Run with administrator permissions (or a similar option)
It will flash your phone to completely stock ICS android. Then you can manually check for the JB update and install that too !
Note : it will wipe the entire phone. Do backup things if you need it !!!!

[Q] Can't access recovery or start the 'normal'phone

Hello,
First of all, it has been a while since i've done tweaking my old one X, but my dad uses the phone now, and he asked me to update it, since the old rom crashed sometimes.
now i found out the was android 4.2 roms available for the one x, and wanted to flash them.
although, i figured out, i needed a higher Hboot, since mine was at 0.95, i needed 1.29+.
tried to figure out how this worked, and i thought i finally knew it, but than the last step wouldn't want to complete, while in RUU, it didn't want to do what it had to do..
so after some hours shouting at my pc and phone, i decided it had enough of it, and would just flash another rom, which didnt need the higher Hboot.
but now comes the crap...
i downloaded one_X_sfied rom, and i though hey its finally working, i saw the bars going green, and all the stuff..
but while rebooting the phone, it wouldnt go past HTC - quietly briliant - logo. so i decided to install it once more via recovery.
again all bars go green.. but this time it wouldnt start the phone either..
so i wanted to go back to recovery, but now it wont load recovery either! when i click on my recovery, it boots the phone again, and keeps rebooting at HTC logo..
i found out i made a mistake, and didnt flash the new kernel for this rom, i was little bit hurried.. so i guess overlooked it... stupid me, i know....
anyway, only thing i can access now is the fastboot and hboot, my bootloader is unlocked, and hboot is 0.95.
my cidnumber is: HTC E___11
there was another number, i thought RUU number, but i don't know the command to get it anymore, don't know if i need it..
anyway, now my question..
how do i ever get this phone working again, if it's even possible...?
any ideas?
thanks alot for reading and applying.
(sorry for grammar mistakes )
- edit -
now it somehow restarted the bootloader, and stops at ''checking sd card update...''
which means. i cant even get into fastboot either.. guess im screwed up now ... ----------lucky me, it shows the fastboot again.. sweat for nothing

what is your version?

what version do you mean?
RUU?

Have you flashed the right RUU for sure ? Try flashing again and remember that you have to relock the bootloader before !

i did not flash any RUU.
i don't know how to get that code, not the E11 thing, but those numbers.
if i am right i have to:
get the original RUU software.
flash this through fastboot using my CMD on PC
relock bootloader first.
but i need the correct RUU file first, and i don't know where to find, because i need that numers, i forgot the command to get it, and cant find it on internet now :\
---
anyway, is this correct? what i say above. -> download correct RUU file -> lock bootloader -> flash via PC -> than something else?
if im correct, i will have a original, non-rooted HOX. correct?

No....
Boot to bootloader and relock it
Fastboot oem lock
Then put the phone in the locked bootloader and run the ruu with administrator rights.

[Q] Htc one x stuck at carrier boot logo after flashing zip file

Ok so got the htc one x off Craigslist. One click Rooted it. So I wanted to change the boot up logo to tmobile. So I flashed a zip file called "flash boot" then it restarted to the GCI logo and sits there..... I tried going to hboot and it says sd failed. Ummm I did factory restore and erase cache and erase . I'm now looking into the whole RUU thing but I can't find any LInkS to a RUU file.
Here's what it says in recover screen
***unlocked***
Endeavors pvt ship s-on rl

Microp-none

Then I get the windows is installing drives message in the bottom right and says failed. "htc mtp device failed"

Do you think I will be able to use commands even if it boot up to just my carriers logo? I can get into recovery but the problem is when you go into fastboot and hboot while connected to the computer it says failed to load USB master. But my device still shows up on my notebook as a cd-rom drive (d

Commands are done with the phone in the bootloader. The usb master fail error is only because you enter the bootloader with the usb cable plugged in !

Relock the bootloader and execute the 2.17 ruu.exe from the pc with admin rights......it should flash the phone to full stock ICS rom. Not sure if it works directly therefore i noted the 1.29.401 too. But run the 2.17 first.

Great! Now just one more thing sorry. But there is a list about 50 ruu's from that link you provided. Several say 2.17.401. Like one says htc Asia, htc Europe, orange uk. So the question would be which 2.17.401.x-x.xx.xxx I would use?

The one with 401 thats your phones region. If 2.17.401 wont work try 3.14.401

3.14 won't work instantly, you have to be on 2.17.401 before the 3.14 works
And there is no Asia 2.17.401....... 401 is Europe only ! Asia is 707, read carefully ......

Thanks, I'm at a halt right now I'm getting the battery is lower than %30 so I have to find a good way to charge it before I go to sleep tonight. So in the morning I'm going try to run the 1.29 ruu exe. Then as a bonus I'm gonna try install clockworkmod through fastboot with windows.

What recovery do you have ? Go in there and it charges the batt !
And after the 1.29 you still have a long way to go to update the phone !
1.29-2.17, 2.17-3.14, 3.14-3.20, 3.20-4.18 !

Omg this was a big waste of time I fresking left the phone on my carriers screen thought it was charging. I woke up this morning the phone was off. Now I'm getting the battery is low message. Smh
I can't go into recovery it sends me back to the fastboot menu I can only select recovery then it sends me back to fastboot/hboot.
Then when i let the phone boot to my carriers screen I get the installing drivers message. Then it says failed - htc mtp device

Oke put the phone in fastboot mode and run this script with admin rights on the pc from the fastboot folder
https://db.tt/aLqeTpPO
It will continuously reboot the bootloader and charge the phone bit by bit. Leave til it reaches round 3800 mV .....then enter the recovery and charge it more in there
What recovery do you have exactly ?

Ummm I think it's stock recovery. When I had access to clockworkmod it just goes into a black screen. I'm saying stock recovery because when I went to the android store and downloaded clockworkmod it couldn't my device for clockworkmod. So I believe it's just stock recovery
