Hi guys.
Finally today I receive the OTA upgrade to JB. First an smal upgrade was succesfully downloaded and installed, and then the firmware to upgrade the phone to JB (I had 4.03 custom rom).
After the phone install the JB upgrade the phone stuck on the HTC ONE white screen
I had a backup on the SD that let me recover the phone, I try to install the upgrade again, with the same luck. I read a post that said that erasing the SD will resolve the issue, and I have no better idea than do it!!! (yeah... really!!)
I read several post all day on XDA, I try to flash again the boot and ROM with the upgrade that I save on my PC, and with a Backup via
fastboot. But nothing work (I dont know if I did it right). I cant see the SD on fastboot, already try a factory reset, when I go to the recovery option on fastboot the phone just rebooted with no options.
My CID is BSTAR301

Attached are the backup files that I have in my pc and the OTA upgrade files that my phone download.
Here there are many people who know a lot of this!!
Please help me to recover my phone!
u say you are on a custom rom, But you tried to update OTA?
Restore phone to complete stock ( even recovery) then you can update.
you could use an RUU or maybe a nandroid

Sorry, I mean I had the ORIGINAL ROM (4.03), the only change that I made was root the phone.
My CID is BSTAR301, I only have the backup files that I copy to my pc and the OTA upgrade that the phone download. I attach the images of the files that I have.
Could you please tell me how to restore it to complete stock with the commands? which files should I use?
Thanks for you help.

I assume that you first installed CWM or TWRP recovery to root your HOX, and if you make backup of your recovery this is CWM or TWRP recovery.img, not stock recovery.img that is came with phone because you reflashed original one with TWRP or CWM and official ROM need official recovery.img. I hope that you make nandroid backup before root with TWRP or CWM because is it "must to do" in every installation guide. If so, when you wanted to update via OTA for official JB you needed to:
1. reverse to stock software (for you, you needed only to unroot or use nandroid backup if you have yours, if not try to find one in xda one x forum matching your current CID and main-version)
2. reverse to stock recovery.img that is matching your CID (exact matching) (you need to find it on xda one x forum section) - i see that you have firmware folder but dont know is it from your backup or from OTA, if it is from OTA than you can use recovery.img from that folder to flash stock recovery.img via fastboot commands (only recovery.img)
3. then you can do official JB update via OTA
And then if you have need to custom ROM you need flash again CWM or TWRP recovery.img
Also you can get full stock with RUU but RUU must fully match your CID and main version, but RUU isn't available for every phone version, and after RUU you can do officall OTA JB update (for RUU you need to lock bootloader)
Information that can help us is yours phone current main version (fastboot getvar version-main)

Thanks for your help! I got the an RUU, after that I sent my backup to SD and now I have 4.0.4.
Now my phone show me a message to install the OTA to 4.1.1, but when I select install the phone make a reboot and show me CWM recovery with the message:
Finding update package...
E:unknown volume for path [INTERNALSDCARDownload/OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_S_BSTR_ESN_3.14.515.36-2.17.515.1....
E:Can't mount INTERNALSDCARD...
Installation aborted.
Why the phone can't mount the SD?
You need a stock recovery. Do :
Fastboot getvar version-main
And post the outcome !
Edit :
4.0.4 software....you need this recovery and then install the ota again

This is the result:

So... I just need to install the recovery that you send me, reboot and try to install the OTA?

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

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.

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

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]/

Sorry for bothering you guys again ^^
Finally I found some informations about updating HBOOT one my HOX, but I don't want to ruin it, so i wanted to ask you if I understood everything^^
My acutal HBOOT is 1.12, my main-version (dunno what exactly it is called) is 2.17.771.3 and my CID is H3G__106 (Hutchison 3, Austria).
Currently I am on ICJ 1.72.
I've found the following threads:
H3G BRANDED JB | Manual Update, Nand, OTA File, Firmware.zip [4/2]
[TUT] How to upgrade HOX with a RUU(hboot.img, etc..) after installed a custom rom
[COLLECTION]Stock Nandroid Backups for Different CIDs
Unfortunately I'm not sure which firmware.zip, etc. I have to use to update my HBOOT on 1.39(?, I think it's the actual version) to use ICJ 2.1.
I would be pleased if you can help me and tell me what to do and which firmware.zip, etc. I should use.
cheers,

Well i would go with the nandroid backup (the one with from the last link) get your nandroid backup from there matching your MAIN number .... 2.17.771
You unzip the nandroid backup to the phone (read the OP to where exactly) then you flash the boot.img from that nandroid (located in the folder) and perform a full wipe in the custom recovery and restore the nandroid, boot it once to check the phone runs as new...all Oke, flash back the stock 2.17 recovery and reboot the phone and check for software updates.
And as for the firmware flash, the thread could not have typed it out better.....you need the part that says NAND H3G__106......
All the commands are in there and the links too

Well, thanks! I'll try it in the evening.
A last question: After doing the nandroid backup and firmware flash my HBOOT will be 1.39, am I correct?
Yes you are going to hboot 1.39.
But keep one thing in mind, only do one of the options. If you go for the nandroid backup you do not have to do the firmware flash......when you restore the nandroid backup completely including the boot.img and stock recovery you check in settings - about - softwareupdates for the official OTA and install that. The OTA will flash the hboot automatically and will update the software to JB :thumbup:

Well, it came to my mind that I only have the phone with the Hutchison 3 branding, but it is unlocked and I have another provider. Does this conflict with the option to do the nandroid backup and checking for software updates?
And if not, I think I have to unlock the phone again and do that stuff to flash a custom rom?
Ai i can't answer your first question, never encountered that before .... as for the second question, with a nandroid backup you do not have to relock the bootloader. So after the updating process you flash back the custom recovery and flash a new JB rom.

Well, okay. So I will just test it, and if I don't get any updates I can switch back to my old version of ICJ am I right?
Yes ofcourse .... do a nandroid of the rom you are running now and after that you restore the stock nandroid backup.
Don't forget to flash the boot.img again when you return to the old one
Well,
I tried the nandroid backup from this thread but I only get some md5 checksum errors...
Then I tried it twice with the backup from here but here I get sometimes a black screen (display is ON) after the htc logo and sometimes it goes past the black screen and comes to the screen where you see "HTC ONE BEATS AUDIO" and there it gets stuck.
I also did a full wipe every time before doing the backup and I also flashed the boot.img from the backup
Any ideas? :/
cheers,
z3xi0n ;D
I got simillar effect while trying to restore backup from that thread
And im actually in a boot loop for allmost two weeks, so i'll stick around for some usefull ideas
When you read the OP of the first thread there is a workaround for the MD5 error

Uh, my bad I'll try it again in the evening ^^ Thanks for helping a poor noob
status update ^^
Used the backup from here, searched for OTA update (got one), tried to install it. Phone switched into recovery and I got some errors. Looked it up in google, found this site and removed this part
Code:
assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" , "22222222" , "33333333" , "44444444"
, "55555555" , "66666666" , "77777777" , "88888888" , "99999999" , "HTC_……);
After this I was able to install the update (in recovery, using "install zip from sdcard"). After the update the phone reboots and gets stuck on the HTC logo. Hboot is still on 1.12. Now I used my old backup cause I need the phone tomorrow again. Any ideas how to get the update fully working? :/
cheers ^^
Then i guess the update fails because you need a backup matching your cid too !
Because the nandroid backup was for another cid (O2 and orange backups where compatible with different cids)
You can try to only perform the firmware flash to update the hboot and then flash a JB custom rom after that.
Mh, okay. Then I'll try it with a firmware update. But I am a little bit confused because when I deleted the part with assert(check_cid(...)) etc. I saw my CID, H3G__106, in this part.

Hmm okey, well i can't shine a light on that im afraid, but if the nandroid fails (who said that the nandroid is 100% stock anyway, we believe the uploader on that ) your best chance is with the direct firmware flash
Am I right that I have to do it with this manual? And do I have to install at first this stock backup or can I flash the firmware directly on my acutal ROM?
1) go into fastboot and enter "fastboot oem lock" - the device will reboot
2) go into fastboot again and enter "fastboot oem rebootRUU" - there will be a black screen with a silverish HTC logo
3) enter "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" (you need the firmware.zip from page 1 for this)
3a) enter the same again, the green bar under the logo should go to 100% (either after the first or second time)
4) enter "fastboot reboot-bootloader" to go back to your fastboot
5) unlock your device again with the unlock code ("fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin")
6) Restore your old boot.img (fastboot flash boot name_of_boot_file.img) and recovery (fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_file.img), make sure you copied them from the nandroid backup folder we created earlier into the folder that contains the fastboot.exe you're using.
(7) Reboot and you should now have Hboot 1.39 with your old boot and recovery.
(8) If it won't work we still have the backup ready to restore the old system, Hboot isn't changeable right now on S-ON devices outside of the RUU routine - so even if you restore your nandroid you should still have Hboot 1.39 now)

Yes thats correct. No neef to flash the stock recovery. Directly the firmware is enough. But reflash the rom with boot.img right after that....
---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------
Any succes ?
Well, now I did the firmware flash, put ICJ 2.1 on the phone and it works, but the phone doesn't get my sim card. Any ideas? ^^
Uhm well......does that rom needs a modified boot.img for the higher hboots maybe ? Just like the CM10. I would try it first with a full sense JB rom to make sure that everything works as it should, or try CM10.1 ?
Did you checked that the hboot is actually upgraded ?
Or could this have something to do that you unlocked it from the carrier ?
so i just recently switched to my nandroid backup of the stock sense 4.1.1 original
but the problem i got an software update notification but when i tried to install it
and when the phone restarted i was already in cwm recovery , i read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714
and the backup i had already is restored and the boot.img flashed so there is only one thing left is to lock the oem and then the updates will be installed am i right pls help cuz i want to stick to the stock rom and get updates now.
To be able to update official HTC updates you need
1. stock rom - you did that
2. flash boot.img - you did
3. flash stock recovery.img - you didnt do that, you still have CWM
You dont need to relock bootloader
Stock recovery.img you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376 in firmware, but be aware that you need matching CID

I assume, that a HTC-Stock ROM is installed on your htc one m8. NO Custom ROM and NO Custom HBoot! <- IMPORTANT
Root doesn't matter for an OTA Update.
But you have to flash the Stock Recovery that matches with your ROM Base and Relock the Bootloader.
First you must Backup your device including Internal Storage, because of the Factory Reset that happen when you Unlock the Bootloader again!
You can find here a collection of Stock Recovery

As far as I know, you can't receive a OTA Update with Super CID 111111.
It won't flash, because of the "android-info" in the OTA Update File.
The "android-Info" contains the CID that can receive the OTA, otherwise it won't flash. to avoid that the device receives a wrong OTA.
You must set it to the original Provider CID that matches with your Stock ROM.
In your case, I think:
modelid: 0P6B16000
cidnum: TELUS001
just install a custom rom...

Incorrect, SuperCID bypasses all CID checks. I was pretty sure already as this was the case on my OneXL, but for the sake of giving the correct information, I just restored a Rogers TWRP backup, flashed rogers stock recovery extracted from the rogers OTA, changed my CID to 11111111 and ran the OTA from stock recovery. As per my sig, I am not even using a rogers phone.
Ran just fine.
Does rooting and s-off affect performance at all on the m8?

thank you
What you need to do an OTA:
Stock Recovery
Stock Rom
Stock CID or SuperCID
Can I keep root!?!? Yes, you can!
As it stands there is no RUU (Rom Update Utility) to easily return to stock SO If one does not have the stock rom installed, one must restore a stock nandroid and manually flash stock recovery/
Stock Rom Nandroid backups and Recoveries courtesy of Mr Hofs
This collection assumes you know your CID. If you don't know it, check it! Boot to fastboot then use the command: fastboot oem readcid
What can you do if you don't have your nandroid and it isn't listed there? You can request someone from the same carrier with a stock nandroid upload theirs within that thread.
Once you have the nandroid, it's simply a matter of putting the nandroid in the appropriate folder for your custom recovery, booting to said recovery and restoring the nandroid.
Where nandroids should be placed:
TWRP: \sdcard\TWRP\backups\
Philz Touch: \sdcard\clockworkmod\backups\
Once you have the nandroid restored, you will need to flash stock recovery. If you know the stock recovery version you should be using, you can download them on that same thread. It is also possible to extract the recovery from the OTA zip file should you have access to it. (You can use the stock rom you restored to download the OTA then extract it and the firmware.zip file within and then flash the recovery.img)

I never tried it with Super CID, to install an OTA.
In the most Tutorials that I've found it was recommended to set the original CID.
But good to Know that it works.
At least it's safer to set the original CID, in that case.

Firstly you don't need to relock the bootloder to flash an ota.
From what I can see from looking at the updater script in the ota it checks CID and MID. The CID and MID for various models seem to be listed in the updater script. If yours isn't there then it it will fail.
From what I can see it doesnt seem like a particular CID or MID is required, just one listed in the updater script.
Not sure if you can modify an updater script in a signed ota and it still work or not.

I left mine on Super CID and was able to flash the OTA. I've also read reports of others who have been able to flash the OTA after only going back to the stock recovery, however I went through the process of relocking my bootloader and insuring all "bloat" apps were restored (this was on an AT&T variant though).
Well tired doing this again but it fails, umm says cid unknown in the recovery screen when try I to flash the ota, tired changing my cid to original and to supercid, still same.thing, don't know what I am doing wrong
I also tried going back to stock and running the update but says it Won't install since it thinks the phone is rooted

Really? This is terrific info. Not that I care to do any type of OTA, (why bother? It'll be on XDA in a couple of minutes lol) but it is something to remember. I didn't realize the Super CID was that expansive. I did realize that it allowed you to use your phone on any carrier though, so I probably should have picked up on that.
