Yep thats the right one .... The .24 ruu has the 1.36 hboot, and the .31 ruu will update your hboot to 1.39 !

Thank you kind sirs Can somebody tell me do I need to be in a fastboot to run it or what? How do I install it?

Yes you put the phone in bootloader/fastboot usb mode and lock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
After that it reboots the bootloader and you see a warning sign there, now keep it in fastboot usb mode and execute the ruu WITH admin rights (right click the file and run as administrator)
Should do the trick

Thank you This returns eveything to factory stock I think?

Yes.

Yes everything. Stock rom, stock boot.img and stock recovery ! You will have an out if the box hox
Note : watch out it might wipe the sdcard also (not 100% sure but there are reports that it did so back it up just in case)

I have erased everything from SD yesterday I thought my HOX has shutdowns couse of that. I tryed everything and now I'm doing this. Hope it helps, he just shutsdown for no reason. I think it's the battery problem but it's better to try software first

[Q] messing up an upgrade

hello,
I seem to mess up all the guides of flashing JB.
My HOX has cid HTC_044 , HBOOT 0.43, currently running Revolution 9.7.2, recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0 recovery.
is there an easy/direct way to upgrade the HBOOT and the Rom to Revolution v18 ?
Also I tried that video tutorial but I got lost with all the Unlocking and Relocking.
I have a disability and pressing multiple buttons not easy for me so I'll really appreciate a step by step explanation.
Thank You.

Do you know fastboot commands to interact with the pc to the hox ?
If yes you can put the phone in fastboot usb mode with the fastboot command from pc
Fastboot reboot bootloader
or
Adb reboot bootloader
The phone should restart to the bootloader, then you can type the commands
Fastboot getvar version-main
And
Fastboot oem readcid
Post the results here please....

OKAY

Oke download this RUU
http://www.htcruu.com/securekey.php...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed.exe
put the phone in fastboot usb mode again and do this command
Fastboot oem lock
This will relock the bootloader and give a warning sign, that's normal,keep the phone in fastboot usb mode and execute the RUU from the pc WITH admin rights !
This will bring the phone back to stock ICS android 4.0.4 from there you can upgrade officially to JB !
Note : this will wipe the entire phone including sdcard !!!

That's correct but i wanted to let him update official because when he updated to JB he can make a clean nandroid backup of his JB stock rom, this way its easier to go back to stock when he wants that, or when he has to update again

Thank you all!

Guess it worked ?

I don't really know if TRWP Recovery works with all CRs, but since I use it instead Clockworckmod, I find TRWP better, more intuitive and complete...

Update:
No, it didn't work!
That tool sent me to a link to download RUU but I don't know which one...
I tried RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.17.707.3_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed but it failed, my phone didn't even reboot.

As far as I know you need to reflash the stock recovery.img and boot.img provided in the rom.zip before the RUU will work.
I don't know if this is the same scenario, so I'm just throwing in a suggestion.

RUU will automatically flash all of those. All you need to have is locked bootloader.

Are you sure?
First I tried it normally with relocked bootloader, and it didn't work.
Second time I read somewhere about flashing recovery.img and boot.img from the rom.zip that appears somewhere in AppData when you start the RUU. relocked bootloader again afterwards.
Suddenly the RUU worked, so... I could have done something that I didn't know of that I was doing it, or it was simply because of the recovery.img and boot.img.
I got my HTC One X for about 3 weeks now, so I'm not really experienced or whatever. Just really curious about how Android devices work, since I'm also a 'barely-passed-noob-phase developer'.

so, how do I re-lock it?
and what is the right RUU for me?

The RUU Mr Hofs provided is the right one.
He also told that 'fastboot oem lock' is the command to get the bootloader relocked again.
What I did was:
(Starting off with an unlocked bootloader via htcdev)
Go into fastboot mode (which is done by holding volume-down and pressing power button, or running the adb command 'adb reboot bootloader') and run the following 5 commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
Run the RUU.
The boot.img and recovery.img for the RUU that Mr Hofs specified are in here: http://db.tt/lpQ8d3Vw
Yet I still don't know if this is the correct procedure for it to make the RUU run normally, but this is all I did to get mine working.
Good luck .

All info is correct !!! The ruu is correct and you ONLY need to RELOCK the bootloader ! The fastboot command is mentioned numerous times now
And please right click the ruu to select,
RUN WITH ADMINISTRATOR RIGHTS !
and please put the phone in FASTBOOT USB before running the ruu !

will try it.
Thanks!
but how do I root it again after?
is there a rooting guide for HOX JB ?
sorry for the stupid question..

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

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]/

[SOLVED] Hboot upgrade attempt failed

I'm trying to help a friend remotely fix his current brick of a HOX and would like some pro advice to ensure im telling him the right thing. Info I have:
Its S-On UK T Mobile CID T-MOB005.
He obtained a 1.39 firmware from somewhere that matched his CID
At some point in the process the firmware flash failed or partially flashed
His Custom Recovery is gone
His HBoot version has not increased (i think 1.12)
He has a security warning under the 'relocked' message in bootloader
Before he tried the firmware upgrade he flashed viper x 3.4.0 + boot.img so the phone wont boot up normally now
He has a nandroid backup from before the process.
Im going to recommend to him to download the 1.36 firmware from Mikes thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376 (i notice there is no 1.39 available for his CID so im suspicious this was a duff file he had for 1.39)
If he cant flash it because of low power then he should use the charging batch script first or re-unlock, flash CWM, restore nandroid and flash the boot.img from it so he can boot phone and charge it normally or from cwm.
I guess after that start to look at an RUU or a stock nandroid backup download to be able to do the firmware OTA ?
My own HOX is S-Off so im not as familiar with the process as i never worried about the correct firmware or had to flash boot.img separately from roms or nandroids.
Any tips appreciated.
Cheers

Re: Hboot upgrade attempt failed
Yeah that's about it.....only flashing the rom is not going to work because of the low hboot.
Just charge the battery and and unlock the bootloader, then reflash a custom recovery and charge the battery up in there.
With enough power he can relock the bootloader and flash the firmware
Fastboot oem lock
Fastboot rebootRUU (watch the capital letters)
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Unlock the bootloader
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
Then flash the custom recovery again and install a new rom ! :thumbup:

Cheers, so out of interest what causes the Security Warning in the bootloader ? Is it because the phone knows there is a screwed up firmware flash or knows it cant boot\has low power ? It must have done something as his custom recovery was wiped even though the Hboot ver didnt change.

how does the security warning look like exactly.....i know there is a warning because the bootloader is relocked. don't know if we are talking about the same picture now

Re: Hboot upgrade attempt failed
You have to relock the boot loader to flash an updated firmware which is the point you are at and why you are seeing the security warning.
The first time you flash the updated firmware it flashes everything else.
Stock recovery, boot.IMG and sometimes other partitions.
Then it tries to flash the hboot and fails.
All you usually have to do is tell it to flash a second time and then in succeeds in updating boot.
Obviously he stopped after the first attempt which is why only the recovery changed and not the hboot.
I doubt he has a bogus firmware as the phone will not attempt to flash anything that isn't signed and cid matched.

Great will check, just assumed he had tried it twice as all instructions I've seen state that you must but then again i dont know what instructions he followed - maybe he didnt ! Ive not seen this explanation of whats being flashed and in what order before - cheers.

Ive not seen it but i assume its something like this
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***
Then all the usual bootloader stuff
based on images ive seen before on web. can find them with a quick google of images.

Re: Hboot upgrade attempt failed
Yeah that's normal :thumbup:

Re: Hboot upgrade attempt failed
Ok it lives ! Was a combination of the firmware file and his battery being too low to flash so he put cwm back on, charged and then followed my instructions. Cheers for help
This is the what I sent him incase anyone else finds them useful. Assumes you know roughly what your doing and that you must get back to fastboot usb for the commands .
-----------------------------
So get phone into fastboot mode by power plus vol and choose it in bootloader., plug usb in so it says fastboot usb, then get command prompt in directory with fastboot in on pc.
1. Lock bootloader with: fastboot oem lock
2. Vol and power down to get into bootloader again
3.fastboot oem rebootRUU
4. Should now get phone with silver HTC in middle on black
5. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip where this is the new firmware for your cid.
6. Might fail first time. Do it again and it works
7. Should now see green bar completed under the htc
8. Power and vol to get to bootloader. The hboot should now be updated.
9. Now to unlock bootloader again
. fastboot flash unlocktoken unlockcode.bin (where unlockcode.bin is the file you got from htcdev)
10. Now on the phone select yes and it reboots.
11. Don't wait just use power and vol to get into bootloader.
12. Flash custom recovery again. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img where recovery.img is the cwm 5.8.4.0
13. You can now flash your chosen Rom boot.img. fastboot flash boot boot.img
14. fastboot erase cache
15. Now use recovery to flash the Rom.
16. Done

Actually hboot 1.39 is correct. The firmware might contain some wrong info but is 100% correct. And you cant flash any other firmware. It will stall on the flash and gives an error. So my guess its all oke.
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
With the file in the Fastboot folder will unlock the bootloader.
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
With the recovery in the Fastboot folder it must flash it.

Unlock the bootloader as suggested by Mr Hofs and flash the latest CWM recovery.
Then restore this backup - http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/199-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-htc-j15-3164154/
Also flash the boot.img from the backup. Then you'll be back to stock.
