Hi,
I still haven't got an OTA JB upgrade for my HTC One X, so I decided to update it myself based on the information on this forum.
I downloaded and ran the right RUU for my CID. After an initial error (and some research which suggested I needed to be on a higher hboot version), I upgraded the firmware to 1.39 and ran it again. The RUU failed with an error 159 which indicates that the version on the device is higher than the one I was trying to install. Then it asked me to run through some recovery steps, tried to update and failed again with the same error. It also indicated that the recovery was successful.
Now the phone is stuck on the splash screen and simply doesn't boot. I rebooted into fastboot mode and did a factory reset but doesn't seem to help.
Any help or pointers to information is appreciated. I'm probably completely wrong, but my guess is that the firmware version is too high for the ROM it is currently running - is this right?
Thanks,
Scanner
post the result of the following:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
fastboot getvar cid
this is what I get -
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 3.14.401.31
finished. total time: 0.010s
C:\AndroidSDK\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot getvar cid
cid: HTC__001
finished. total time: 0.011s
Fixed.
I used the 3.14.401.27 RUU originally - I think this was incompatible with hboot 1.39.
3.14.401.31 seems to work.
Cheers,

Helll everybody,
new to this forum but have searched practically everywhere for an answer...
my problem is this:
* bought htc one v from ebay.
* worked fine until some day---- soft bricked!!\
* tried following the unbricking guide but keep getting wrong cid error in Hboot when trying to load RUU
the thing is that i have no idea what is my CID... since the phone is bricked i can't use any of the guides I found
to find CID.
in HBOOT I see following detailes:
****Locked*****
PRIMOU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000
RADIO-3831.18.00.282
eMMc-boot
plz HELP
p.s.
if my qustion is irrelevent and someone can tell me what RUU I should download it will be :good: also
Since you can go to hboot, that is good enough to check your CID.
Be in fastboot mode and type this :
fastboot getvar cid
Example here, mine is HTC__044
Code:
C:\Users\ckpv5-A\Desktop\fastboot>fastboot getvar cid
cid: HTC__044

Hello ckpv5,
I have the same problem (My HTC Panache stuck on HTC Logo. When I Press
On + Volume Down, I go to HBoot). Please describe more what I should do?
I connect my HTC Panache (while it is on HBoot) to USB port of my computer,
but from Windows 7 Command Prompt I cannot go to (fastboot) directory. Why?
Do I need to install any software on my computer to do that?
Please help to get CID of my phone.
Thanks.

You are on wrong forum man, this is for One V.
Anyway.. why do you need to know your HTC Panache CID ? There are only two of them either Videotron or Mobilicity. Which is yours ?
Have you try the Factory Reset ? When you are on HBOOT, you should see FACTORY RESET menu I guess.
If you want to check your CID, firstly you must have the HTC USB driver installed on your PC and also fastboot files on your PC too. Without these two items, you can't do the fastboot getvar cid

Thanks ckpv5 for your respond.
My phone is HTC Panache from Mobilicity which I think is the same as MyTouch 4G of Videotron.
Its model under battery is written: PD15100.
Factory Reset does not do any action (phone hangs at the same menu and cannot do anything after that).
I need CID to make a Gold Card and install new stock android on my phone
by using MicroSD. I have tried different Stock android versions
of Panache & MyTouch 4G , but I always get wrong CID message.
I believe that I have installed HTS USB drivers (included in HTC Sync sowftware) for my HTC.
Where can I get the fastboot files for HTC to install it on Windows?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Attached is the fastboot.zip
Extract it to C:/
Connect your device in fastboot mode
When you go to HBOOT
Press power once, you will be in fastboot
The open a command prompt
cd\
cd fastboot
fastboot getvar cid
or
fastboot oem readcid
Other than this I can't help more as I don't have that device and also this is in a wrong forum

Ya... DAVE_001 is your CID. If you ever need to run a RUU to revert your device to stock, you need RUU_Glacier_Gingerbread_S_DAVE_CA_2.09.1800.1_Radi o_12.55.60.25_26.09.04.26_M
And that is not the CID for making a GoldCard. You use a Goldcard tool to have the CID that will look something like this

As this is not related to One V, anything further you need to know, send me PM.
Before I start, , I want to say that I have read other similar posts and not found an answer to my query.
First, I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful stuff you guys do on these forums. I have used your expertise for many previous issues that I have had in the past. I cherish my Androids a lot more now thanks to you guys.Now, onto the problem that I am currently having. I will try to make it short.
SHORT VERSION:
I need help to unroot the phone and I can't get the "correct" RUU to work.
LONG VERSION:
I rooted my phone and installed Android Revolution HD for ICS. After a while, I decided to upgrade to JB via CM10.
At first, the WiFi would start giving me problems, it would get stuck at "on and never going off" or "off and never turning on." So I remedied that by just restarting the One X which was fine. Then the screen started to act up. Whenever I restart my phone the screen would work just fine. I would put it down for a while, but whenever the screen goes off, it responds slower and slower until the display no longer turns on. However, the phone still works as if it was on via the touchscreen. I can still open apps, just as long as I can guess where to go.
This left me with two thoughts:
1.) The screen is not broken because on restarts, or before it blacks out completely, the screen is just fine. No dead pixels, no lines, no light bleeding to anything.
2.) The OS (I think) is not broken because it always responds to what I am doing.
Therefore I think there exists a problem between the hardware trying trying to communicate with the screen. So I want to return the phone back to the manufacturer.
I have looked on other forums and I am here to ask for help. I can't find a way to solve my problem.
When I try to unroot, I get stuck at the RUU portion. And I honestly think I am using the correct RUU. As you guys know, I need to put the phone back to its original everything to get a chance for the manufacturer to help me out.
So please! Help me with the unroot!
On a side note: the phone works perfect when it is charging AND with the screen on. Don't know why.
This is my phones info from the HBOOT screen:
HBOOT-0.94.0000
CPLD-None
MICROP-None
RADIO-1.1204.90.13
eMMC-bootmade: disabled
CPU-bootmode: disabled
HW Secure boot: enabled
MODEM PATH: OFF
Apr 11 2012, 02:27:11
CID: HTC___622
For those that are wondering, this is the RUU that I used.
Endeavor/RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_HK_1.26.708.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251215_signed.exe
Maybe that was the issue, I don't know. There are 4 HK (Hong Kong) RUUs if I'm not mistaken.
I look forward to your help and response!
Once again, thanks for all the helpful tips/tricks/flashes and roms.
Gratefully,
johnchiu
Oke are you familiar with the fastboot commands ?
Do these 2 commands with the phone in fastboot usb mode !
Fastboot getvar version-main
and
Fastboot oem readcid
To get the right info for the ruu you need !
Try this one:
http://htcruu.com/securekey.php?fil...Radio_2.1204.122.17_release_268338_signed.exe
Although, I thought the 2.17 was available, that one should install on your hboot.
You'll need to do:
fastboot oem lock
Then run the RUU as administrator (right click it).
So when I did the "fastboot oem lock" whenever I go back to the hboot, on top it says that my phone has been "***RELOCKED***"
I remember before I unlocked the phone it said ***LOCKED*** so if it now says ***RELOCKED*** and I want to ship it in for repairs...wouldn't that be a red flag that I tampered with the phone?
Also, I have SuperUser installed on the phone, how do I get rid of it? Because I think that looks awfully suspicious too haha.
I am downloading the RUU right now, hopefully it works, I will let you know how it goes. Thanks @BenPope
Your bootloader will always say that its been relocked after you unlocked it, can't do anything about that ! And the RUU will flash a stock rom, stock recovery and the stock boot.img back. So all traces of previous root is gone !
So what should I do to make my phone as close to it was first coming out of the box.
For example, I really want to get rid of SuperUser but I don't know how to.
How do I check if everything is stock? Etc.
Thanks again for your help!
Just run the ruu and everything is stock !!! Can't get closer to stock than that !
A ruu wipes the phone 100%
I tried it again...and it failed again. I don't know what to do.
Every RUU that I have tried to install so far all say:
ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
How is it possible that every version fails? Please help!
Hmm do the fastboot commands i posted in the beginning of the thread, the cid and main version commands ..... See whats comes out ?
Sorry forgot to post them. These are the latest ones.

There is the bug ! You need at least a 2.17 based RUU ! But i dont where to find it at the moment
Are there no ways around it? I can't be the only person with this problem can I? I purchased this phone back in May 2012. So my phone was one of the original units sent out. Thanks for your rapid response and time.
Maybe there is one at the file factory but i dont have an account there

That's odd.
You have the European version-main and a Hong Kong CID.
You might want to look for a backup of a HK ROM to restore.
I tried updated to JB from Viper 2.7.1 by attempting to go back to stock using RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_TMO_UK_1.28.110.7_R2_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release 256500_signed.exe & it didnt go to plan.
After I relocked the bootloader I couldnt get any further with the process & my phones battery ran flat, I had to use the battery script to get enough power back into the phone so I could continue, again It wouldnt work, at first I thought my phone had been bricked but when I re-unlocked the bootloader Viper came back to life.
What is the best way to go about updating to JB?
My CID T-MOB005
HBoot 0.94
Radio 1.1204.103.14
Are you sure you got the right version number ?
Do the fastboot command
Fastboot getvar version-main
If it matches this ruu
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260731_signed.exe
Then you can use it. The 1.28 ruu fails because it wants to downgrade the hboot. Hboot 0.94 is in line with the 1.29 version number. So my guess is that when you use this one you will succeed !
after using fastboot getvar version-main I got 1.28.110.7
Hmm funny .... Download the ruu i linked
Keep the bootloader locked ... And keep the phone in the bootloader and select the ruu.exe by clicking with the right mouse button ...select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR

Sent you PM !
thanks Mr Hofs
does the .exe need to be in a specific folder when run? i.e. platform-tools
is the file OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_TMO_UK_1.28.110.7-1.26.110.5_release256527.zip for updating stock ROMS?
it will probably be Saturday before I can make another attempt, I will let you know how I get on
No afaik you don't need to run it rom a specific place. But running it from within the fastboot can't do any harm
just an update to this thread
ran RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_TMO_UK_1.29.110.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260731_signed.exe successfully.
performed OTA updates from TMobile culminating in JB :laugh:
finally installed ViperX 3.3.7 & all OK until I restored apps in Titanium, now Sense crashes randomly, I must have restored an old version of Sense by mistake.
Thanks for your help MrHofs
Nice ! :thumbup:
Or did you restore some of the old system ? Either way at least the updates worked fine
it looks like Ive restored something I shoudnt have!
I would recommend the RUU route to updating to JB every time, nice n simple
Unless the ruu is not available !
Every shipped Rom I downloaded prompt "Installscript has stopped working". Now I'm stuck at custom Rom and Hbot 0.94. Radio 1204.104.14.
I want to return to stock but cannot find my version of RUU. Can your guy help me out, I'm really frustrated. My Cid Number is HTC__023

Post the output of the following:

We will find an appropriate RUU or nandroid backup for your device!

I have LG F180s, I used tinybeen+LGnpst tutorial, I can fastboot which has information like:
Product_name: Mako
Variant: mako 32gb
bootloader version: makoz10f
secure boot: enabled
lock state: unlocked
I tried your fastboot variables i.e.
fastboot.exe getvar cid (returns empty value for cid)
fastboot.exe getvar modelid (returns empty value for modelid)
Its been 3 days, that I am trying to get into recovery. I have tried both TWRP and CWM recoveries (various versions for LS970, Mako, PhilZ). I have also tried flashing stock ROM via LG Flash Tool 2014, completes successfully but phone enters BootLoop.
Therefore teenybins+LGnpst took me out of bootloop but now it cannot enter recovery. Although Teenybins say that they include TWRP
