bootloop after OTA - HTC One X

Hi,
after restoring my nandroid from stock rom and flashing stock boot.img and recovery.img my HOX boots up fine. (CID T-MOB101, Hboot 1.36).
Then i´ve done a factory reset and wiped the internal SD. After that, rebooted the phone, connected it to my WLAN and started an OTA.
No errors there, but after the update Process only boot-loops. I´ve tried fastboot erase cache and the factory reset option in fastboot.
Still boot-loops.
Any Ideas what i can do now?
Thanks!

Must have removed something from the stock nandroid. Try some other backup from nandroid thread and retry the process.

Try restoring your backup once again and see if the issue persists. Maybe your backup is corrupted.
If that is the case, try flashing the Stock Rom with the 3.19 base (Latest) which is available in the development thread.

Or get a "new" stock nandroid backup here and try again !
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
If the JB version is not there, get a 2.17 based nandroid matching your main version. And also flash back the 2.17 stock recovery and update again to the JB software.

Thanks to all for your answers. But - if the phone works fine after restoreing nandroid, should the problem really be searched there?
The bootloop happend at first boot AFTER the OTA.
Could it be a problem that i had installed AHRD 20 and a jb hboot and then restored an ICS nandroid (4.0.3) ?
Can anyone point me to an official T-Mobile JB RUU? I used the search, but only can find dead links or ICS Versions.
My only Target is to get the HOX completely stock (and up to date) for selling it.

It could be in the ota ! I had a similar case a while back. We solved that by :
1: flashing the firmware to update the hboot
2: restore a nandroid JB backup
Check for a JB tmob 101 backup if its there you can do the same

Ok, got it working after using a JB T-Mobile nandriod. Thanks again.
Now its time to put hands on the Nexus4

im thinking you probably need to flash the boot.img from the ota update,
fastboot flash boot boot.img

[Q] How to add 3.20.401.1 to a rooted phone

Hi
I have a HTC one X rooted phone with stack 4.1.1
I get a message that there is a new update 3.20.401.1
After download it tells me to reboot. My phone then goes to ClockWorkmode (CWM)
It stoops there. I do not find any zip file to install.
Any tips for this, or should I just ignore this?
Thanks

You just need to flash stock recovery through fastboot again mate then on booting up you should be able to install the update. Or you could install a custom rom with that base without having to flash recovery :good:
Thanks for quick reply.
If I go for a custom room, what is the best out there?
Do I loose anything by not upgrading the stock room?

they are all pretty damn good roms mate! too hard to choose really, just best to flash em, and see remember to make a nandroid backup also
u shouldn't loose anything apart from bloatware
If you want a custom based on stock, i suggest Android revolution, Viper Rom, or SD ROM.

I did try out Cyanogen lastest image, that do work fine.
But I have to look long for how to find out that I needed to extract boot.img from the cyanogen zip file and install this with flashboot.
But now I like to go back to my original rom. I did take a nandroid backup, and also have an older nandroidbackup.
Its not possible to make the phone go back. When I start restor, all looks ok MD5 etc, but then gets this message
Error while restoring /system!
Do I have to do more flashboot stuf to go back?
I am still able reinstall Cyanogen from zip file. But my Cyanogen backup also fail.
Why
Edit. The Cyanogen Image is 4.2.2 and Orginal image is 4.1.1. Could that be any problem?

Are you sure you've made the backup with the same recovery as you are attempting to restore it with?
The Android version shouldn't really matter, but there may be exceptions for some things.

If you are using CWM recovery u should be able to go into the backup file (under clockwork mod/backup on sd) and take the boot.img u need to flash via fastboot there. Put it in your fastboot file and then flash using "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
So I should take the boot.img from the backup, run fastimage and restore it?
Then try to restore the backup using clockworkmod?
I am not user if the backup was made with
recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img or
recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img
Is it important to restore with correct version? If so how to see what version that was used?
I am not able to go back to my old image
Not sure why, but the Cyanogenmod does not give me any Mobil data (3G etc)??
I tried to restore the boot.img from correct backup using flashboot flash boot boot.img and then try to restore.
But still I get Error while restoring /system!
Some note:
I made a backup of my working Cyanogenmod, this I am able to restore without getting the restoring error.
No I also have tried recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
But there are some different thing going on.
When I first tested to restore my original image, I get menu like this when trying to restore:
Code:
Yes-Restore
No
Go-Back
Now I do get:
Code:
No
No
No
No
No
Yes-Restore
No
No
No
*** Go back
Have I used another clockworkmode to make the backup?
If you want to be sure you use the same recovery as where the nandroid is made with ? Flash the recovery.img from the nandroid folder.
Then flash the boot.img from the nandroid folder, go into recovery :
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage - format cache, data, system
Then restore the nandroid.
Thanks
You saved my day.
It seems that the backup was done with CWM based v6.0.2.7
Not sure where I have got this version.
Latest version listed here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager is 5.8.4.0 and not 6.0.2.7 that I have used
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941630 is 6.0.3.2 listed
What is the latest version of CWM for HTC ONE x and where to get it?
And last, what is the best to use
Yeah well after all the replies i thought i chip in give my 2 cents
This is one of the latest i use now.
http://db.tt/SPXdFfPw
Everything is working fine and I start to understand how its connected together.
But there are one thing that still puzzle me, the boot.img
When and why do I need to change that when I go to and from CM 10.1.2 (4.2.2) and Original image 4.1.1
What trigger the need of the change?
Should not this be restored correctly when I restore a backup. (In Clockwork mode)?
Does this work automatically whit Philz recovery 5.6.1.img?
I do like to change image in my phone without need a PC to run fastboot !!
When you change rom you need to flash the corresponding boot.img from that particular rom or nandroid backup.
We can't flash boot.img files via recovery because we have s-on devices so fastboot is a must.

can't seem to get back to stock (3.20.401.1)

HI,
I have a europen (international) htc one x 32gb, currently running miu 3.5.7
i want to get back to stock and I was looking at the threads about how to do this using a ruu but I'm not sure how to continue:
my cid is E11
my versions is 3.20.401.1
i first wanted to use a nandroid backup but the file here is not on dropbox anymore:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1975140
so then i thought to try it with a ruu and this should be the right ruu I think:
OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.20.401.1-3.14.401.31_R_release_314818virsindn3qwws1r2.zip
but it is only 36 MB and there is no executable file in it ...
is there another ruu i can use or another method to get back to stock?
tnx!

That ruu is only an ota which stands for over the air update, I can try and find the right one for you
Edit: I don't think there is an ruu for your version so I think the only way to get back to stock is a nandroid which is not on dropvox anymore as you said.. Mr hofs uploaded it I believe if you can get in contact with him he might still have the nandroid for you

I just wanted to ask if it would be ok to flash the 3.14 recovery
one more question:
I used getRIL and it says this:
RIL: unknown
baseband: 5.1204.162.29
is this ok/normal or is it rom specific (miui)?
and by flashing this backup etc, does this also get the original kernel etc?
my kernel now is 3.1.10n3okernel_v33-gf404256-dirty
so in other words: is everything back to the original and can i be sure i have the right radio etc?
Restore the nandroid and also flash back the boot.img from the nandroid backup. Then you have stock kernel + modules.

hi,
i tried restoring your backup but it saus: error while restoring /system
i downloaded your file, put it in the backup folder, flashed boot.img and erased cache, then restored back-up
edit: also did a full wipe, same problem
Flash also the recovery.img to be sure you are using the same one as it is made with
And also enter mounts and storage and format all except sdcard

Can I jump in here as Mr Hofs seems to have a lot of knowledge.
I did a restore of my One-X to stock rom according to this tutorial.
http://design-extreme.net/restore-htc-one-x-to-stock-rom/
This all went well and without problems. The RUU I flashed is this one.
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed
When I now startup the phone it all works perfect. Then the phone says there is an OTA (to 3.20 I believe)
I download and install the OTA and the phone restarts, but after restarts the phone's touchscreen does not work anymore.
I solved this for now by installing the 3.14RUU again, then it works again. But of course I would like to be able to install the OTA's
To me it sounds like a driver problem in the new version that prevents the touchscreen from working. You or anyone else have idea how to solve this?

Flash the recovery.img from the nandroid backup first. Then make a full wipe and restore the nandroid. That will solve the restore error.

Revert From 5.1.1 to 4.4.2

[SOLVED]
Hello guys, hope that someone could help me.
I had a 4.4.2 rom (note4neo 2.0) and i wanted to try 5.1.1 so first of all i mad a full Nandroid Backup through TWRP and also a titanium bkp. Later on i installed lollipop original rom through ODIN and everything was ok. I then followed a guide from Noble Rom for rooting and installing TWRP. Everything went ok, but i had problems with some rooting app (like titanium) and so i decided to revert back to 4.4.2.
At first I rebooted into recovery, made a full wipe (even system) then restored previously backup. Seemed to be ok, but then when rebooted it stucks on boot logo (i left booting for 28 minutes, so....).
Then i tried to wipe cache, dalvik and data and reboot again: no changes.
I then decided to reflash previously twrp (the one that i used for bkp). Flashes went ok, but i have "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message on the top (even with the lollipop twrp: maybe is this the key of my problem?!?).
Restoring backup from older twrp didn't work as well...
Of course i can enter both Download and Recovery mode.
Now i flashed back the original 5.1.1 through ODIN in order to go back to original lollipop and see what u guys can tell me to do to restore backup i made..
Thank you very much for your help
I was thinking that maybe i should flash a stock 4.4.2 before restore the backup...
Now i'm downloading it and see what happens...tell me if i may be right
Yes you should first restore a 4.4.2 firmware before flashing TWRP and then you'll be able to restore your backup

Click to collapse
Update: Flashed 4.4.2, all ok. Then rooted, twrp and all ok again
After i restored Backup and stuck on boot.
Then i made again all the steps: STOCK, ROOT, TWRP, then Base version of the Rom and all ok.
At this point i was thinking it was done and restoring would have been just fine...unfortunatley it doesn't. Stuck on boot again.
So i reflashed the Base version of the mod rom and: it started with my restored app Btw i'm encountering problems like no home button, no volume icon, no settings shortcut. Now i made a cache and dalvik wipe but problems still remain..
Any idea?
After some attempts to solve those problems i stucked again on boot..
So now my plan is to: Flash STOCK rom, Root, Twrp, Base mod rom (everything always ok so far) and then restore JUST DATA from backup... Not touching system and boot should let the rom works just fine...at least i hope so :'D
Ok, as i was expecting the problem is solved. I did not restored System and Boot and all apps works just fine. Even though i miss some settings i made now i'm happy to be 90% back to origin ^^

Need help going back to stock.

Hello
Need some help figuring out how to go back to stock.
I have already downloaded the latest TWRP backup and recovery for my CID (621). Used 1.92.709.1 version by @topjohnwu.
I put it into the TWRP Backup folder and restored it. Now phone bootloops when I turn it on.
The question is: what am I doing wrong?
(I was running LeeDroid 4.00 Nougat ROM on the moment I decided to go back to stock)
I had the same problem yesterday when I was trying to revert to stock my self.
Turned out I had forgot to format (Did a wipe instead) the data partition and the now un-decryptable encryption was messing up the boot process.
Rebooted into twrp and formated (Not wiped) the data partition -wich also removes the encryption- and it booted normally.
I still had some other issues though, think it's because I was recovering from a sort-off allready messed up backup I guess, so I ended up flashing back the stock recovery and did an RUU update to the most recent stock nougat from SD instead. As a bonus I was able to do a Oreo OTA the moment it booted the forst time.

Is your firmware newer than 1.92.709.1? If so you'll either need a newer backup that matches your firmware version or an RUU.zip that is the same or newer than you current firmware version.
What made you want to go back?
