[Q] Flashing Stock ROM Nandroid backup to return to stock for OTA update

Hey guys,
I have an HTC__044 device which is unlocked and running a custom ROM with a custom boot.img. I am wanting to restore the phone to stock ROM so I can download the JellyBean OTA.
I've seen the procedure for returning to stock RUU, but I am not sure on the procedure for when you have a full Nandroid backup of your stock ROM.
Could someone please clarify?
I understand it to be as follows:
1. Boot in to recovery and restore Nandroid backup of original ROM
2. Flash stock boot.img extracted from RUU via fastboot (or boot.img from backup directory on SD card)
3. Flash stock recovery via fastboot (or recovery.img from backup directory on SD card)
4. relock bootloader via fastboot
5. Reboot phone and stock ROM will be recovered
6. Download and install OTA.
Have I missed anything? Do you really need to flash back to stock recovery? I don't really see the point of doing that?
Thanks

U can try to relocked your bootloader and flashed the RUU for your device to return back to stock and waiting for JB updates.

Yeah, looks good to me.
You don't need to relock it if you're just going to apply the OTA.
To apply OTA, you need stock recovery.

Oh really? Cool!!
So I can just recover the NANDROID backup, and flash the boot.img then check it boots. then flash the stock recovery and download the OTA without re-locking?
I thought you had to lock the bootloader to get OTA updates as unlocked bootloader sets the CID to none, so no OTAs are detected, no?

I've never tried it, but as far as I know, you don't need to lock it, updates are based on IMEI, not CID, and although CID can show as all 1s in some places, fastboot oem readcid should return the correct one.
However it takes about 5 seconds to lock it and just a few more to unlock it, so... Your choice.

If you have the Stock RUU your device shipped with, just go in fastboot, connect to pc and run the RUU.exe.
If not, the steps in first post looks like a good route to flash back to your original ROM.

In my case it was shorter:
1. Restore nandroid backup (of the original ROM, did after root).
2. Fastboot oem lock
3. Run RUU
That's all.
You can try this too.

Well, the OP didn't ask for the RUU method and said he was aware of it.
What's wrong with:
fastboot oem lock
Run RUU

Before you do anything, the best thing to do is to check again what is the actual software version no.
Go to fastboot and type below command
fastboot getvar version-main
Tell us the no. written there
Then we talk about getting your ROM back to stock

Yours is same as mine, CID HTC__044 and 3.14.707.24
When reading your thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055377 I'm a little bit puzzled on why do you want to revert to stock as your device is already on JellyBean and there is no further OTA at the moment.
Here are three scenario that you may need to choose.
1) You just want to revert to stock ROM but you still need to root it.
a. Flash the stock boot.img attached here (That's the stock boot.img for 3.14.707.24)
b. Restore your nandroid backup
c. Reboot.. you are done .. you will have stock ROM but still on custom recovery in case you still need to play around like rooting the stock ROM or whatever you want to do.
2) You want to revert to stock ROM with everything complete stock with your nandroid backup.
a. Flash the attached stock boot.img
b. Restore your nandroid backup
c. Reboot to bootloader again
d. Flash the attached stock recovery.img (That's the stock recovery.img for 3.14.707.24)
e. Relock your bootloader with command "fastboot oem lock"
f. Reboot your device.. you are done.
3) You want to revert to stock with a RUU.
a) Download RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.24_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed.exe from various site that you can it this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604 or you can download from where that I uploaded one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34971176&postcount=2487
b) Put your device in fastboot mode and relock your bootloader with command "fastboot oem lock"
c) In fastboot mode too, run the RUU and follow the updater instruction - next- next-update-blablabla until it finish
d) Complete the setup wizard, you are done.

You have to flash the stock recovery.....the nandroid is taken with a custom recovery so the stock recovery is not included in the nandroid .... therefore you need the stock one :thumbup:
This is the 3.14 stock recovery

Mate... I even attached the stock recovery and stock boot.img for him above. I don't know whether he really read those I wrote.
So Jimmy, if you want automatic update like the stock ROM as you said; read again item 2 or item 3.

Any way to flash ruu via fastboot

so the title says it all..ive done this before but i forget the command

anybody?

When i soft bricked my phone i run the RUU in fastboot and it worked fine.
you will need to relock your bootloader and have more than 30% battery.

Yes phone in bootloader / fastboot usb menu
Lock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
Keep the phone in fastboot usb mode and run the RUU WITH admin rights (right click the ruu to choose it)

so no stock recovery needed

Get yourself a ICS nandroid matching your MAIN VERSION number, restore it completely and flash back the matching stock recovery, then update manually to stock JB....again.
Ow and a ruu actually does flash everything back !
Give the main version and cid
Fastboot getvar version-main
Fastboot oem readcid

No you need the full 3.14.401.31ruu instead of the ota. The 3.14.401.27 will not work because that one contains the 1.36 hboot and you are on the 1.39 hboot, downgrade is impossible
Are u on a unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery , then get your cid
Fastboot oem readcid
and download your matching nandroid here

Do a full wipe, flash the boot.img from the nandroid and restore the nandroid .... Then flash back the stock 3.14 recovery .... and then relock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
That's the closest to stock you can get !

Hi,
Yes I am on unlocked bootloader with custom recovery
I've downloaded the file stock-nandroid-3.14.401.31.tar.bz2
I've managed to display the file contents
boot.emmc.win
boot.emmc.win.md5
data.ext3.win
data.ext3.win.md5
system.ext4.win
system.ext4.win.md5
would i be correct in saying i extract the boot.emmc.win from the file and then flash it
restore the nandroid from within twrp
flash boot-3.14.401.img
relock bootloader
would this then be suitable to send off to htc for repair?

Flash the boot file as it is, you don't need to rename it
And yes that's all you can do :thumbup:
Don't forget to flash back the stock 3,14 recovery

flashed boot.emmc.win
extracted the files to clockworkmod\backup but when choose restore on twrp it says updating partitions and doesn't do anything
should the files be copied to twrp folder?

Yes if the backup was done with twrp you can't restore it in the cwm folder. Don't know the exact paths of the twrp backup

thanks - i've installed CWM via fastboot and when attempt to restore get a md5 error
trying to get adb working on my machine so perform the md5sum check but always reports no devices - fastboot is fine

What i meant was that you can't restore a twrp backup with cwm at all, maybe there is a workaround but i don't know it, flash the twrp back and check in the backup collection thread if there is info about the twrp folders

Twrp backups are at /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/[device serial]/[backup name]/

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 ..

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
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
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.

Your hboot version is 1.12
JB roms work only on hboot 1.31 and newer.
Try to update stock rom(it updates hboot too)

Get back to full stock, stock rom, kernel and recovery .....then update the hboot and software with official ota. Once you obtained the JB stock software you flash a custom recovery
Put the custom recovery in the fastboot folder on the pc and rename it to recovery.img , put the phone in the bootloader and flash the recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then you make a nandroid backup of the stock rom. After that you copy the new rom of your choice to the phones sdcard, open the rom.zip and copy the boot.img file to the fastboot folder on the pc
Put the phone in the bootloader and flash the kernel
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery and make a full wipe, then install the new rom.zip and reboot.
If you do not have a nandroid of the stock rom ? Give me the outcome of this command
Fastboot getvar version-main
I can check for a ruu or a nandroid backup !

Not entirely true CM10 is aosp jb and runs on the lower hboot ! LOL only sense based JB roms will not run on the lower hboots

But he said he wanted a sense ROM. That's why he needs the update. Or I am wrong?

I know that....but the fact is that JB also runs on the lower hboot
And he didn't ask for a JB rom.....he asked for any good rom
@ Ron
Give the fastboot command outcome
Fastboot getvar version-main
and
Fastboot oem readcid
If you don't have a nandroid backup .....we get one or a ruu, and when those are not available we always have the possibility to do a direct firmware flash to update the hboot

Then he can easily have a look at my signature, because this ROM made it almost perfect with ICS version!

well so what i understand i need to upate my hboot.
so how do i install stock rom? someone have download? my rom now is some JB rom (without sense)
and i tihnk so my CID were t-mob101 or sometihng like that.. and download or something?
or some one got the stock rom of htc?

That's why we need the main version !
Open a command prompt inside the fastboot folder, put the phone in the bootloader and type
Fastboot getvar version-main

by the way i got aosp jb
and i wanna go back to sense..
that why im asking for any good SENSE ROM..
thanks by the way

Ron, please read my questions ! We can't help you to update if you don't provide your main version number !
Or do you have a stock rom backup ???
You have more choice of good developed roms if you update first
Blade
Viper X
Bug X
Trickdroid
You name them ..... all great roms

Download this nandroid backup
http://bugsylawson.com/index.php/files/file/208-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-t-mob101-2171113/
Copy it to the sdcard from within the recovery. Put it in
Clockworkmod;\backup\"time and date folder"\"the backup files"
Then copy the boot.img from that nandroid to the platform tools folder.
Put the phone in the bootloader and flash it
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery and make a full wipe. Wipe all you can except the sdcard
Then restore the nandroid backup.
Reboot and check if it works.
Then enter the bootloader again and flash the stock 2.17 recovery
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wbav46spkbznovp/stock recovery 2.17.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (rename the stock recovery to recovery.img first)
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot
Then enter the phone settings menu - about and software updates. ... Check for software updates and install them

[Q] HTC one X freezing on every rom

Hi,
Today i tried to install the MIUI rom for my HTC one X, but it kept freezing after 20 seconds.
So i flashed the backup i made before i flashed the MIUI rom, but it froze.
After that i tried to flash a backup i made about a month ago, but didnt work either.
Please help, many thanks

Did you flash the boot image from the miui ROM zip? And when flashed your backups did you reflash the boot img from the backups ?. Last but not least , did you fastboot erase cache after flashing each rom ?

Thanks to reply so fast,
i did flash the boot.img from the zip of the MIUI. but did not fastboot erase cache.
After i installed the MIUI rom, i booted my device several times and could get passed the bootlogo, but it just freezes after 30 seconds or so.
So i decided to flash those backups, without reflashing the boot.img (thought the backup restores those) niether did i fastboot erase cache.
so now he freezes on the bootlogo after 3 second or so.

Seems to me that you didn't wiped properly, or your hboot is to low maybe ?

thank you very much for your help,
found a threat were you give step by step instructions how to upgrade your hboot, but my question is, can i do all this whitout a rom installed because none will boot.

Depends on wich thread
And yes it should be possible, just flash the standalone firmware, or return to your original stock ICS 2.17 rom and update via official HTC ota.

So this is the firmware i need to flash using fastboot right?
thanks again for helping me out

First rename the zip to firmware.zip
Fastboot oem lock
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (may be needed twice)
Then unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and then the desired new rom

and the recovery i need to flash is that the one in the zip you send me or do i need to download one myself, and unlocking bootloader is on the site of htc right?

Uhm no the new custom recovery is here.....this one works fine for me
http://db.tt/SPXdFfPw
And if you still have the unlock file, then you can flah it right away
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
If you haven't got one you must make one indeed via the HTC devsite
