Hey all, I need some help. I bought a HTC One X off Amazon, and when it arrived it had a custom recovery and rom. I want to restore this back to stock, but I have no idea how. There's no backup to restore.
The phone is on "ViperX 3.5.0". Is there an easy way to flash the stock ROM, like a zip or something? I don't mind keeping recovery or unlocked bootloader.
Also, my CID is HTC_001 if that helps.
Thanks!
You can restore a stock nandroid backup uploaded by some XDA user. This way you'll remain unlocked and cwm stays installed.
Download android SDK bundle (Google)
Extract it, navigate to folder "platform tools". Hold shift and right click anywhere in the folder. Select "open command window here"
Boot your phone into boot loader mode by powering off and then starting up by holding power and volume down.
In the menu, select fastboot. Hook USB cable and type:
fastboot getvar version-main
Post output here please.

Thanks, I get:
Code:
>fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 3.14.401.619
finished. total time: 0.063s
Would anyone be kind enough to upload their stock Nandroid backup? If it matters, the phone is from the UK.
Thanks!

Extract it onto your phone's SD card in folder "/clockworkmod/backups/backup name/
Take the boot.IMG from the downloaded archive and copy it onto your "platform tools" folder on your PC.
Then boot to fastboot mode and type to the fastboot cmd prompt:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Go to recovery and restore the backup and you're done !!

Thanks, that worked. When a new version is released, I will be able to do an OTA update, correct?
Sure but you need the stock recovery to install official updates.

You'll need to flash a stock recovery in order to do OTA. Bootloader can however remain unlocked.

Do you have a link to a stock recovery I can flash?
I do "fastboot flash recovery file", right?
Edit: I found endeavoru_recovery_signed.img and flashed that. Thanks!
The stock 3.14 recovery should do fine because there was no new stock recovery in the 3.18 OTA file.

Edit : you cant use just any stock recovery. It has to match the software.

Hi there,
I unclocked my phone via htcdev.com and flash recovery-clockwork via fastboot. I installed Rom cook such as LeeDroid and Revolution. At the end, I back to original rom via RUU. When I arranged my SDcard, I deleted folder clockwork. Now, I can't enter recovery mode. When I go to recovery, an icon with phone and curve green arrows appear on monitor (like factory reset) then move to phone and red triagle. I tried to re-unclock and re-flash recovery via cmd but I just received message "cannot flash "recovery ....." on cmd.
Plz give me the way to enter recovery?
Best regards,
Thanks
You lost the CWM recovery after run the RUU.
You need to re-unlock the bootloader and fastboot flash the CWM recovery again.
Make sure you write a right command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_whatever_name.img
not fastboot flash recovery.img

I ran your commands but always rimanse screen "HTC quitly brilliant" is not going on ...
I think you have to reflash the stock rom, or with a nandroid backup or with a ruu.

Flashing the recovery or the boot.img will not help, something is damaged in the rom...
You have to flash a ruu or a nandroid to get the phone back to 100% stock !
Hopefully you are storing precious data on the cloud ?
What's on the sdcard could be saved, if you flash back the custom recovery you can mount the sdcard as a diskdrive and get copy the data over to pc !
A ruu puts the phone back to its original (full wiped) state

Hmm you have 2 options
Or find the matching ruu on htcruu.com or on the file factory
Or find a matching nandroid backup from the nandroid backup collection thread in the general section !

Put the phone in fastboot USB menu and relock the bootloader again
Fastboot oem lock
Run the ruu.exe from pc with admin rights !
This should put the phone back to its original state
I've done everything to perfection the phone works now, Thank you very much

Guys i've installed CWM and unlcoked my tegra HTC One X.
I want to go back to the stock rom and dont have a backup. I am running 2.17.980.6 with OPTUS_001 CID. I can't find this ROM anywhere....
I tried a few newer versions of the OPTUS_001 CID ROM, but neither worked. What i'm doing is (a) relocking the bootrom with fastboot oem lock (b) in fastboot usb, typing fastboot flash boot boot.img, where boot.img is from the RUU i downloaded (two versions I got from the xda formums).
When I do the second command, i get the following
sending 'boot' (8192 KB)... FAILED (remote: (00000008))
I've also tried doing the Software update within the phone itself, it reboots my phone, then it goes to the bootloader screen and sits there........ weird. I also can't load recovery anymore, and my bootloader now says *** RELOCKED *** *** Security Warning ***
Help!!
Thanks
First thing now is to unlock the bootloader now.....i will find a link to a "new" stock nandroid backup you can use !

Here is a 2.17 nandroid backup for Optus 001 ....
Flash the custom cwm recovery again ans enter it, go to mounts and storage and mount is a usb mass storage device. Then unpack and copy the nandroid to the right folder on the sdcard of the phone. Copy the boot.img from that nandroid to the fastboot folder.
Now you flash the boot.img first. Type in the command window on the pc
Adb reboot bootloader
Then
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then unhook the usb cable and enter the recovery
Make a full wipe there......factory reset, wipe cache partion, dalvik cache, system, data .....
Then restore the nandroid backup and boot it up to check of it works. Now don't update ! You need to flash back the stock 2.17 recovery first in order to be able to update !

Hi Hofs,
My HTC has been sitting on a table gathering dust all this time. I wiped the dust off it and gave it a charge and thought i'd give your process a whirl.
I'm right up to the last step, where I need to restore the stock 2.17 recovery. I clicked the link you provided to dropbox and it says file not found! doh.......... any chance you have the file still?
Cheers, joo

Hi
I've been given a One X (he bought an M8) and I thought I'd easily put on KK 4.4.4, but I have hit a brick wall.
It was running ViperX 2.6.0 with Hboot 0.95, and it's S-ON.
Well 4.4.4 needs a Hboot above 1.28, so the flashing failed.
So I did my homework and got the CID (it's HTC-023) to install the firmware so that I could update the Hboot via OTA.
So I installed the boot.img for the HTC-023 firmware and that (of course) was a an error as I didn't have a copy of the boot.img for the ViperX 2.6.0.
Then the firmware was a .rar file and didn't install anyrate.
So now it's in bootloop.
I have not been able to find a copy of ViperX 2.6.0 to extract the required boot.img
I've got TWRP with Sideloader installed, and ADB works fine.
So I am stuck (like my One X really) so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Solution
I thought I should post the solution.
The essential problem was to get a Hboot 1.28 or higher so that a new version of Cyanogenmod could be installed.
On this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376&page=189 is the following from ClydeB1
To flash you need to run the following commands: (It is advised to take a backup of your data and important files on your sd card)
1. Lock bootloader - fastboot oem lock
2. Boot to RUU mode - fastboot oem rebootRUU
3. Flash firmware - fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (if you get an error then rerun this command)
Note: The firmware will flash the new hboot, as well as a new stock boot.img and stock recovery.img.
To flash a custom rom you then need to do the following:
4. Unlock bootloader - fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin (you can use the same unlock_code file as you used previously, check your emails if you can't find it, or else reapply at htcdev.com)
5. Flash custom recovery - fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryfile.img
Note: If the unlock process wiped your sd card you may need to boot to recovery and mount usb storage to copy the rom file across again. If your phone won't boot into recovery then run command - fastboot erase cache and try again.
If you then wish to flash a JB custom rom:
6. Flash new boot.img from rom - fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. For good measure - fastboot erase cache
8. Boot to recovery and flash rom
I followed these steps exactly and it worked perfectly. I did need to use CWM as with TWRP the touch screen did not work.
and have more ease way to do this. You are with too low HBOOT and you can run RUU and then update the phone to latest JB because are you know witch HBoot you install to your phone
does fastboot need to be enabled or disabled on phone before fastboot mode to flash a recovery?
