Hi all. I just bought this phone and for some reason it comes with the bootloader unlocked and a custom software. I was unable to update my phone so i was searching here and over there. Mr Hofs from this forum gave me some advices which i will quote.
My phone data is readcid: HTC__622
Fastboot getvar version-main : 3.14.708.28
He suggested me to: 1: download this RUU RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_HK_3.14.708.28_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_299865_signed.exe
2: charge the battery to 100%
3: put the phone in the bootloader and relock it (if it is unlocked)
Fastboot oem lock
4: keep the phone in the relocked bootloader
5: right click on the ruu and select "run as administrator"
6: follow on screen info (phone and pc)
7: fingers crossed
8: back to stock it is
But the procces failed, it said i had to dowload the proper version and signed. Now my phone is stuck in the bootloader which is relockked. Please help me getting this back to life.
Thanks in advanced.
By some reason I can't explain, the phone came with the software called Android Revolution 6 by mike1986 :/
Try running this RUU from a different PC, it should work if your bootloader is locked! This is the correct RUU for your phone!
However, if you still can't get to your OS, then restore a nandroid backup via recovery!
Download this nandroid backup : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwEZB8sRo0DSdTRrN3FSSk5fUE0/edit?pli=1
Recovery : http://htcfanboys.com/download/seadersn/?action=list&file=4944
Now firstly unlock your bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
Now flash the recovery you had just downloaded...(rename it to recovery.img)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
Now boot into recovery and go to mounts and storage and mount USB. Copy the files of the nandroid backup zip to /clockworkmod/backup/ and paste it there...
Transfer the boot.img into the fastboot folder, boot into fastboot USB and flash the boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Now go back to recovery and wipe data/cache partition/dalvic
Now go to Back up and restore and restore the nandroid backup you had just copied to your phone! and then REBOOT!

If you want to go full stock to receive OTA updates, then you also need to flash the stock recovery.. Download this : https://www.dropbox.com/s/ms7vd18vb9watr8/stock recovery 3.14.img
boot into fastboot mode and flash the recovery and then lock your bootloader!
Thanks for your reply, but which RUU? Seems like you forgot the link.
My bootloader doesnt say locked, it say relocked. Is the same?
Thanks so much for your help.
By the way. I have downloaded the Android SDK but it wont install at all.
Edited: I've tried with the same ruu in other PC and nothing.
Maybe its because it had a custom rom? It came with Android Revolution 6 or someting

I meant to say that the RUU given by Mr Hofs is correct one for your device! It should work...
Yes, relocked = locked bootloader...
Don't download the whole android sdk... you just need the fastboot folder and HTC Sync Manager (for the drivers) to run fastboot commands:
Here are the links:
Fastboot folder: http://d-h.st/8Jr
HTC Sync Manager: http://www.htc.com/www/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx
Nope, regardless of the rom your currently on, the RUU will work.. Don't know why your not able to finish it... Hmmm
I dont know. It just wont work
Im finishing downloading the files you suggestted me but i have a doubt in the step when you say to wipe the cache. How? From the phone or by deleting its contect on PC?
I'm a dumb, i know :/

Go to your custom recovery(CWM) and select
Wipe Cache Partion>Wipe Cache
Wipe Data/factory reset>Wipe data
Advanced>Wipe dalvic cache>Wipe dalvic
In the first step, it says "cant upload unlock_code.bin" Where is that file?
What i did was place the recovery.img into the fastboot folder

Oh ohkk You got your phone with bootloader unlocked right? Skip that step! Go on with the next one!
If your bootloader is locked then you will have to go to htcdev.com and register there and follow the steps to unlock your bootloader. You will get a file via email (unlock_code.bin)... flash that to unlock your bootloader!

Something is wrong.

The folder on the sd should look like this
Clockworkmod\backup\*time and date folder*\all separate backup files
By time and date you mean 2013-01-08.00.15.16 3.14.708.28_cwm_root ?
I messed it up, i did Clockworkmod\backup\all separate files.
Now the phone is stuck in android logo. What should i do?

Ah go back into the recovery
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage - format cache,data,system
Then restore the nandroid
Haha, sorry for the noob questions, I had to learn android stuff in 2 hours due the rush thinking I was getting a brick.
The phone is working now, thank you so much, guys.
Only strange things are that I don't have more languages than Taiwanese and English, not Spanish (system language); also the nandroid was rooted and I have root now, and the splash screen says "HTC one" lol
Again, you're the best. Thanks for help me out, ill see you around while learning

I've done it again. I think I need to be stopped! lol
I had a perfectly fine phone running the original orange 4.1.1 software. I decided to root it or something and now I'm stuck on the white intro screen.
I can get into the hboot or whatever it's called by holding down power and vol down, but once in there everything I try just takes me back to the white screen.
Factory reset just takes me back to white screen
Recovery shows me a pic of my phone with a green arrow, then a red warning sign. Sometimes from there I can get into recovery (of sorts), but theres nowhere there for me to restore my backups
Any ideas? Thanks in advance
You should probably reflash CWM

did the fastboot flash recovery thing on the recovery file, it all seemed to work fine (although it only took 1.3 seconds.
I then did a fastboot reboot and it's stuck at the htc page again...

read it all the way through and follow all instructions,its a bit daunting at first.you can either use adb or there are a couple of tools on the dev page..
Hmm. I've been out for a few hours, left it on charge as when I tried the RUU it said I didn't have enough power. Now it wont start up at all....
They're is a thread somewhere that covers this problem,do a search for low battery stuck in recovery.

Excellent, it looks like I can now charge my phone. Hopefully once it's charged a while I can flash on a new RUU
HI all, I'm hoping I'm on the end stretch now lol..
I have a fully charged phone, but tried to install the RUU but it wasn't having any of it, saying that it was the incorrect version. I have the latest that was on the page (was about a month old) it's saying my image version is 3.16.61.6 and it wants to change it to 1.28.061.9, but then it can't
Any ideas? Cheers
Do these fastboot commands
Fastboot oem readcid
Fastboot getvar version-main
Post them here please
readcid - orang001
version main - 3.16.61.6
Thanks
Yes you need a ruu or a nandroid backup that starts with 3.16 with and orange cid ! You tried to downgrade he hboot with an older ruu and that is impossible due to not having S-OFF ......
I found this on another page, will that work do you think?
billd2439 said:
Hi Matt,
Here's the Orange UK Jellybean nandroid. Users will need the stock 3.16 recovery to complete the install

Great stuff, do I still need to do all wiping and flashing of boot?
Cheers for this, you've been a great help
Yes do a full wipe and flash the boot.img from the nandroid with fastboot ! You got lucky mate
Lets hope so
Finally downloaded the ruu, don't want to do it wrong. What commands do I need to type?
Cheers
Its not a ruu .... its a nandroid backup and its probably a .rar file ... Unpack it and put it on the phones sd card looking like this
Sdcard\clockworkmod\backup\time and date folder\backup files
Copy the boot.img from those backup files to the fastboot folder
Flash it in fastboot usb mode
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter the custom recovery and do a full wipe/factory reset and restore the nandroid backup from the menu backup & restore
Boot it up to see if its running !
Ah, see there's mu issue, the phone's still not getting past the HTC logo at the beginning. I can't get the backup on my phone can I?
my friend had rooted my ONEX created a backup . i am currently running ARHD want to back to stock to enjoy OTA update. bt the problem is that in the clockworkmod recovery there are two backups. i dnt knwo which one is of stock .
Try just restoring any one of the nandroid backups and check in settings to see if it is the right one. Nandroid backups don't take a long time to restore so don't worry.

You have to flash the boot.img with fastboot commands and yes the phone has to be in the bootloader/fastboot usb mode
Then a full wipe in the custom recovery and restore the nandroid ! After that you check the phone works and that the rom is stock .....
Then you flash back the stock recovery to be able to update , because the custom recovery won't let you update officially !
I have it for you ... I just need the software number when you are done

You can prolly check the dates on both updates - worst case scenario just do another nandroid and try restoring both its just 2 options so your 50%-50%

Yes that's correct, i dont know of the command accept spaces in the recovery name otherwise you have to rename the file to recovery.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You know what i mean
You might want to rename it without the spaces, or maybe stick quotes around the filename, or use tab completion of the filename to properly escape the spaces.

You must have had AOSP ROM! For Sense ROMs you must upgrade HBOOT (read OP in mwilky's thread)!
What is your cid (if you know it)? Or, try fastboot getvar version-main, to check it. This will indicate which RUU/nandroid you should get, if you want to upgrade.

S-ON doesn't have anything to do with your possibility to see SD card. Try in CWM "mount USB storage". That should work.
S-on stays that way. We dont have s-off. Enter the recovery and mount the sdcard as a mass storage device (usb drive) copy the Rom.zip to the root of the sdcard and flash it.
The option is in mounts and storage - last option

Already tried that, but still i only see a few folders there...the JBFWTOOL warned me that it could wipe everything But why is it still S-ON?
Because we don't have s-off....its not developed/hacked yet. And if everthing is deleted you need to install a new clean rom including flashing the boot.img file

Unfortunately, now when I enter HBOOT, no only do I recieve a "failed to open usb master mode" and "pj46img.zip" fail message, but when I click "Recovery", my phone switches back to fastboot. I need to backup my system to downgrade and root afterwards.. anyways
Anyone experienced this before or has any idea what to do?

Error message is normal because you have the usb connected. Without cable you won't get the message.
Second when you are in the bootloader do the command :
Fastboot erase cache
And you need to flash or boot a custom recovery !
Fastboot boot recovery.img
Or
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
The custom recovery has to be named "recovery.img" and be placed in the fastboot folder on the pc !
And what do you want to downgrade ?
Cache erased

Wow, thanks for such a quick answer.. sorry for not coming and thanking sooner...
Anyways.. I erased the Cache as recommended.
The reason why downgrade was because somewhere I read there are problems with rooting my phone on 4.2.2 so I thought downgrading to 4.1.1 would be adequate... Anyways recent research pushed me into believing it is not necessary...
Yeah, so anyway I've been looking for a custom recovery to use as you said...
version-main: 4.18.401.2
cidnum: HTC__032
Do I need to find a recovery for exactly my CIDnumber?

Everything went fine, I got the bootloader unlocked (before already), the recovery provided by ClockWorkMod, did a Data wipe, downloaded everything necessary, booted into Recovery... but when I got to flash the CM 11.0.zip (installing from the zip file in recovery) It failed..
So for no reason i decided to simply restart the phone and try whatever will I find then.. I haven't got past the white/green HTC screen though and I'm stuck at it... I can get back to recovery or the Bootloader, but nothing more, nothing less...
Any Idea?.. I'm struggling with it for a few hour now and feel lost

Anyways I let myself led by the guide posted by Thömy (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583037)...
Everything went fine, I got the bootloader unlocked (before already), the recovery provided by ClockWorkMod, did a Data wipe, downloaded everything necessary, booted into Recovery... but when I got to flash the CM 11.0.zip (installing from the zip file in recovery) It failed..
So for no reason i decided to simply restart the phone and try whatever will I find then.. I haven't got past the white/green HTC screen though and I'm stuck at it... I can get back to recovery or the Bootloader, but nothing more, nothing less...
Any Idea?.. I'm struggling with it for a few hour now and feel lost

Use the Recovery that Mr Hofs gave you and flash the CM 11 package. Should work. CWM recovery sometimes gives you errors while flashing since you may have to modify the updater-script with-in the package to flash successful.
Nice, felt some progression

Cool :good:
So I used the Recovery from el Maestro and flashed the CM 11 package.
I got to a "Cyanogenmod" booting screen at which I'm stuck...
It updated some files but, that's all and the arrow wheel keeps spinning? any Idea?
btw: I'm really sorry if someone already had this problem,
I swear I spent hours looking for one, but when I found a similar one,
it wasn't really what I was looking for in the end
[EDIT] Also when I try to boot the system with the boot.img file included in cm-11 package, I'm not stuck on the Cyanogenmod screen but all the way back on the HTC logo screen again
Flashed the boot.img from the cm11 zip ?
Flash instead of Boot

Yes, I until now was directly booting "fastboot boot boot.img" with cmd on computer.
Now when I flashed it into the device, I cannot even get to the Cyanogenmod screen, hehe

The flash command should be "fastboot flash boot boot.img" are you sure you are doing it right?

yep Did it exactly this way ... It now behaves the same as when only booted with the boot.img :/
Did you perform a full wipe within the custom recovery before installing the cm zip ? Seems to me you forgot to wipe something !

Ok try this..
Assuming you already did a full nandroid backup, do the following:
1. Do a FULL wipe on your device.
2. Flash the ROM again
3. Reboot to bootloader
4. Flash the boot.img again
5. Reboot
6.Thank me if it works.
Should work, that's normally the steps I take when flashing ROM's and have never failed me.
If he flashes the boot.img alresdy its a wipe issue. Doesnt matter when you flash it because it's not going to be changed installing a rom or wiping partitions from within the recovery (definitely not on a s-on device)
6: kinda corny to mention that isn't it ! Bit of a desperate call for appreciation......not confident enough you need confirmation
Got past it!

Well, wow... ok... I got past the logo screen and I now get keyboard failure messages... but wow... thanks... A huge rock fell of my chest... Thanks to both of you... I did a full wipe again.. I guess it was a wipe issue afterall -_- what a noobfailure..
I don't think it "kills to try" like I mentioned at the bottom that's how I usually do mines when am blocked by issues. and NO not desperate for appreciation either.

Run this RUU on your PC to return to stock. This is 4.19.707.2 Lollipop firmware (not KitKat like you asked for), but it will definately make you 100% stock. It will also wipe your phone, so backup anything that is important to you.
Click the link above on your PC (not your phone). After the download is done, hook your phone up to your PC and double click on the download. Follow the prompts. You are now stock.
If you are S-On you will need to relock your bootloader first before doing this. In fastboot: fastboot oem lock

You're wording is a a bit confusing, so I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say. But it seems like you are trying to go into recovery to wipe cache? That is not what I instructed to do. I said to erase cache with fastboot.
But the RUU recommended by xunholyx is probably the best/easiest way to go.
