[Q] Installing RUU, will everything go back to stock? No need to flash stock boot?

I know that by installing a RUU we can get our HOX back to stock, and that we need to lock the bootloader again, but do we really get everything back to stock?
I mean, by installing a rom we need to install their boot.img to our boot partition, does installing the RUU overwrite it? Or do we need to install the stock boot.img manually too?
Thanks, Santroph.

RUU will overwrite the boot.img.
But it is no harm to flash stock boot.img before RUU.

Another doubt, what is the problem about having a different boot.img than the rom u are using?

ramdisk and kernel will be messed up, might not boot, might have things broken, who knows.

TUTORIAL How to revert back to ICS after upgrading to Jelly Bean

Hi folks,
So, you wanna try the JB leak but want to use ICS after that? Yes, it's possible. Even if you upgraded your HBOOT. And quite simple.
1. First, make a full nandroid backup of your favourite ICS ROM.
2. Then follow the instructions provided by the JB-chefs.
3. Testdrive the JB ROM
4. Reboot your phone into recovery
5. Restore your nandroid backup
6. Reboot your phone
7. if there's a bootloop, then boot bootloader, then recovery and flash the boot.img provided by your ICS ROM-chef.
And that's all. I did this and it's working. Hope that helps other users as well.

No the problem is that when you brick your device going to the new hboot there is no way back. There is no RUU with JB !

Indeed. But if you do exactly what the tutorial says, and follow the devs instructions, it's hard to brick your phone. Though it's possible...
Anyway, it's up to you... You should take the risk, or sit back, relax, and wait for the official JB RUU.

HI
I get a big issue!
First of all thanks for your post!
2ndly, I got a One X with S-Off yep lucky man!
But here is my issue:
I succeed in installing the Maximus custom rom And I am s-off so this is cool, but I have forget to use the update script.
So I decided to create a new zip with this update and flash it with the recovery!
But the flash aborted!
Once again, same result!
Then I say... Hum something wrong, I tried with the original custom rom.zip from Football! The installation aborted once again!
So I try to relock the bootloader (fastboot oem lock) succeed
Flash the PJ46IMG.zip (fastboot flash zip PJ46IMG.zip)
Unlock the bootloader (fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code_OneX.bin , I changed the name)
But since this moment my phone can't use fastboot command...
I have restarted the phone and no usb detection from the computer :s
and I try with fastboot usb: fastboot devices
Nothing
fastboot flash zip recovery.zip (waiting for device)
recovery and there is a phone with blue triangle!
I tried to use a RUU, but the phone is not detected by USB, so it doesn't succeed!
Then I do a factory reset... still nothing :s
I am locked with S-Off and can't use fastboot!
Do you have any idea about how I can do something???
Thanks for all your answers!
Flow.

Wow this sounds tricky.Have you tried moving to a different computer to see if it works there?

Try reinstalling Android sdk drivers, the lot, on your PC.

Can you flash any other rom based on ICS or other AOSP JB Roms with a ICS kernel like IceColdJelly?
Is the battery life better with the new hboot?

You should be able to revert to an ICS rom on the new hboot (reflash ICS boot.img and then restore nandroid backup) but apparently the AOSP roms don't work. Users on the new hboot and JB roms do comment that the battery life is much improved.

Yes, to unlock the bootloader you use the cmd: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin using the same unlock file you used the first time you unlocked.

One X - recover stuck on red triangle, no mobile, no wi-fi

Hi all,
I've tried to install newer InsertCoin ROM, during HBOOT update, the phone booted to his current ROM with no Wi-Fi or Mobile access, recovery stuck with red triangle, Trying to install some custom recovery using fastboot v1.2 - got "writing recovery - failed not allowed" message. What is the fastest way to get phone back to work?

Did you re-unlock the bootloader after updating the hboot?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Not allowed error is when the bootloader is locked or relocked. Unlock it via the htcdev site and flash a custom rexovery. Then flash the boot img from the new rom, make a FULL wipe in the recovery and install the new rom !

The phone os S-ON , is it ok? Should I flash new image using flashboot or other interface? Thanks In Advance

I'm not talking about S-On ....I'm talking about a locked or relocked bootloader.
Is it unlocked ?
When you succesfully updated your hboot with a firmware flash you MUST unlock the bootloader, flash a new custom recovery, install a new JB rom and flash its boot.img
A custom gets broken when you update the hboot because locking/unlocking will set the phone to factory state. So it will delete the current custom rom.

Also could you, guys, elaborate why my original ROM started to act spooky - no Wi-FI and so on.

Probably because you updated the hboot. You have to start from scratch after that. It gets messed up

I did as you proposed, unlocked bootloader, installed CWM recovery, wiped data, dalvik cache and installed the InsertCoin ROM, the issue - that I got same problems - Wi -Fi displayed error and not started, SIM is not recognized, no network. Could you please advise what to do now?

Flash the boot.img from the insertcoin rom !

did you flash the boot.img and erase fastboot cache?

Inside the insertcoin rom there will be a a boot.img.

[Q] Need help my phone gone all glichy

I've tried to update my phone HBOOT from 1.28 to 1.39 and I've used JBFWflasher to do it so I can try using Viper ROM. To cut a long story short I've tried several methods and resorted to flashing it with back to stock but now if looks like it has Viper on it. The phone has gone to being very slow and glichy and I'm stuck with what should I do? .
Can I flash it back to stock again?

What are the steps you have been taken ?
You need to flash the boot.img from the viper rom.zip with fastboot, then make a FULL wipe in the recovery .... not the sdcard ofcourse.
Then install the viper x rom zip.....
Your hboot is updated successfully ?
Give some (or all) info of the steps you did. Including what recovery you are using. Its easier to give proper help

I've tried Android Revolution HD 20.1 the last few hours still not any better. I've flashed the boot img using jbfwtool21 and then flashed the rom and did a full wipe. Does it have anything to do with the hboot? How do I check?

Check your hboot number in the bootloader. Its number is in there. And what recovery are you on ???

All should be oke then. Did you try another rom....or maybe its a bad download.

Phone still appears to be acting up even after flashing with another rom. Is there anyway to flash back to stock?

Can you do
Fastboot getvar version-main

Sorry how do i do this? I'm a bit of a noob:laugh:

Ah think I got it, its 3.14.401.31

Oke download this file
http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...-r-radio-5120416229-release-302015-signedexe/
Then relock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
Then run the ruu with administrator rights....it will flash the phone back to full stock

Or try flashing the rom without the jbfwflasher and just use cmd

Thank you Mr Hofs followed your instructions and I'm so releived that its now fixed and that I don't have an expensive paperweight
Thank you soooo much!!!

[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 ?

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.

Then unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and then the desired new rom

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
