[Q] Can't flash the device to stock rom using RUU - HTC One X

Hi,
I'm trying to restore from custom rom to stock rom.
My phone is CID ORANG216 and I'm using xx.xx.65.xx RUU releases.
I have 2 relevant files:
The RUU exe - RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_Orange_CH-Generic_2.17.65.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_275590_signed.exe
OTA UPDATE for the device - OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_Orange_CH-Generic_3.16.65.2-2.17.65.2_release_296426gf2xgpisn8xs0fti
After flashing the stock recovery, boot_signed.img, rebootRUU, the RUU update fails because of version failure, I suspect that the HBOOT version is the trouble maker.
My phone is unlocked with S-ON with HBOOT 1.36 and the HBOOT in the RUU is 1.12 .
Due to S-ON I cant change the hboot.
I can't seem to find a workaround for it and install the RUU.
Any ideas??
I even thought about compiling the latest JB release from htcdev development center and flash it...

You need to relock the bootloader to use install RUU . It has nothing to do with hboot . Just take note that you have to use the RUU that is on the same build or higher .

doesn't work... I'm getting "Error [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR"
The only RUU exe available is the one i mentioned and its old
I don't know how to use the OTA file without the original stock rom already installed...
if it helps anything the command "fastboot getvar version-main" on my device gives:
version-main: 3.16.65.2

Like I mentioned . You have to look for the version that's the same with yours or higher to use the RUU . I guess you can't go back to stock until you find the RUU of your version or higher . Maybe you could try a stock ROM nand backup ?

Here are stock backups

my version or CID is not there, any other resource for nands?

Just lock your bootloader using fastboot oem lock and run this RUU with admin privileges..

I don't think your questions relate to the subject here.
Anyway, custom roms are based on the stock rom and most of the times include a file called firmware.zip, look it up in the costum_rom.zip file.
hboot updates are tricky on this device and for upgrading it (from ICS to JB supported hboot) you need a special firmware built for your specific htc one x model (look at the manuals for more instructions).
For the battery saving, I think it depends on the rom you install and not the kernel (or maybe both because they come together?), check out for old posts about that issue, I'm sure its not the first time someone asks about it.
hope it helps

Directions for flashing back to a stock ROM?

Hi,
International one x. Want to flash back to Stock ROM. I downloaded one from file factory. The process fails.
I first flashed a stock recovery successfully.
Then I relocked the bootloader.
Then I put the phone into fastboot usb mode and double-clicked the RUU.exe
Why won't this work? It appears to get halfway and then says that the process failed. Do I have the wrong ROM? This is a carrier unlocked phone. I got the phone in Taiwan, and I thought that RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_TW_1.29.709.7_Radio_1.1204.104.exe would be the one to flash.
Help is appreciated! Thanks!
What is the error no. ?
Check your actual software version no.
In fastboot:
fastboot getvar version-main

Any ideas? Thanks
Error 155 usually because of unlocked bootloader but you did relocked the bootloader, right ? Try also flash the stock boot.img whether it helps but I've read somewhere, 1.29.709.12 OTA update changed the hboot and you need to have a 1.29.709.12 RUU.

Yes, my screen says "locked" right in the bootloader. Will try to flash the stock boot.img (need to find it first). Thanks, will give it a shot.
If you can read chinese, google for PJ46IMG_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_TW_1.29.709.12

Thank you. Unfortunately, I can't read these sites well enough. I used Google translate. It appears that you have to register, which I did, and then reply in the thread. But in order to reply, you have to verify your mailbox, and the email never did come. Darn. This would be the easiest way I suppose.
Ah....email was marked as spam, haha.
Can you upload that RUU somewhere if you got it?

Have you relocked your device? You will need to go in to fastboot and type the following command:
fastboot oem lock
You can then install the stock software.
I would recommend this guide for more in depth detail.

PLEASE HELP A NOOB
you just need to update the bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
your CID must match the firmware.zip's CID
You must download this firmware : http://www.androidrevolution.nl/downloader/download.php?file=3.16.65.2.zip
Put it in your fastboot folder.. rename it to 'firmware.zip'.. and run the commands matt95 has given! Note that.. flashing the firmware might give an error the first time.. continuously flash the firmware.zip until you get a successful message!
This will upgrade your hboot and from now on you can flash any ROM out here!

If you still want to update via OTA flash.. read the steps which are there in the OTA thread!
Yes, as long as your using stock ROM + recovery... you will get OTA updates! And no... it won't change your IMEI!
Yes, I remember you from that other thread... It's strange that it's displaying as 'none'...

Go back to stock, and take the OTAs. Then re-root and enjoy your new firmware.

Incorrect. This is the method that you use if you are not S-Off.
If you were S-Off, you would just update firmware manually, with no need to go back to stock.

I would suggest asking if anyone has a link to one in that thread.
I'm on Telus too, but I am running WWE firmware. I ALWAYS have the new firmware before Telus. Just sayin.
S-Off is a good thing to have. I know it seems like $25 is a lot to pay to get it, but if you think of all the hassle it saves trying to update firmware, and the other freedom it gives you (I'm using the Sprint Harman/Kardon version's audio files and ADSP) it is very reasonably priced.

Use 3.34.661.4 backup for 4.4.4 but wifi will not work on your device yet because you have hboot 3.18.0000

Extract out firmware.zip from that OTA zip (with 7-zip)
then you can flash this firmware in RUU mode (but you need to relock bootloader because your device is S-On)
Later .. you can check software update and accept OTA to 4.20.661.2

yea i was going to do it and also for the sake of completeness flashing the stock recovery(3.34.661.4) after the restore, just in case someone else has the same problem
You can do that but not really needed because the signed firmware.zip will restore stock recovery.

Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but I'm trying to get my htc one m8 up and running again. It was functioning on lineage os but wasn't very stable, couldn't find any other roms that would successfully flash on it, I decided to try and go back to stock after a few beers one night night, now the phone has been sitting in a drawer with no os or recovery on it. There doesn't seem to be any still functioning links to any Canadian RUU's that I can use. I'm not s-off, bootloader is "relocked". I'd like to go back to stock marshmallow because I only use this thing to play music and as a tv remote. I'm hoping someone might have an old RUU lying around.
I guess if not my best option is just to unlock the bootloader again and try flashing the same lineage os again. Since I relocked does that mean I have to go through the htc website to get the unlock token again like I did ages ago? They probably don't even have this phone on there anymore. Hopefully I didn't actually turn this thing into a brick.

Photo link is coming up with 404 error for me. Better to do fastboot getvar all, then post the results (cut and paste from command prompt), so we can see all the info on the phone (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but I'm trying to get my htc one m8 up and running again. It was functioning on lineage os but wasn't very stable, couldn't find any other roms that would successfully flash on it,
If you can be more specific about which ROMs you tried (plus info about your device from getvar as noted above), then we might be able to advise why they did not flash. Did you get error messages, and if so, what exactly were they?
I decided to try and go back to stock after a few beers one night night, now the phone has been sitting in a drawer with no os or recovery on it.
What exactly did you do (step by step, with any relevant file names, etc. - more detail is better).
I presume you intentionally relocked the bootloader in attempt to run some RUU. But would like clarification on this (and where that happened in the sequence of events)
There doesn't seem to be any still functioning links to any Canadian RUU's that I can use. I'm not s-off, bootloader is "relocked". I'd like to go back to stock marshmallow because I only use this thing to play music and as a tv remote. I'm hoping someone might have an old RUU lying around.
Far as I know, Canadian versions don't have RUU.
I guess if not my best option is just to unlock the bootloader again and try flashing the same lineage os again. Since I relocked does that mean I have to go through the htc website to get the unlock token again like I did ages ago? They probably don't even have this phone on there anymore. Hopefully I didn't actually turn this thing into a brick.
One option (maybe the best one) is to restore a stock TWRP back from the collection: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
You will need to unlock the bootloader to do this. You can either reuse the unlock bin code you used originally (if you still have it). Otherwise, you should be able to request a new bin code from HTCDev.com. Far as I know, that still works for this phone.

htc m8 upgrade from custom (viper one 4.1.0) to stock 6.x.x?

my device is s-off, bootloader unlocked.
As i understand process, for me it should be like that.
Stock htc rom 5.0.1, flash original recovery with adb. and get OTA updates?
If it like that, can someone share i link for stock lollipop rom, the one i can flash from twrp?
and stock recovery from this version of rom?
All link seems dead that i found here in guides.
And also In some guides they say i need to lock bootloader to succesfully update firmware part when i upgrade from 5.x.x to 6.x.x is it true?
Post fastboot getvar all result (without serial & imei no.) to see your current firmware.
If it is GSM you can find stock backup here :

Or maybe a RUU is available.
No.. you don't need to relock bootloader (especially for S-Off device)
was bored and found old 4.2.2 zip.
then reflashed recovery from that zip. OTA didnt worked so i downloaded RUU_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_6.12.1540.4.exe from HTC site.
It did not flashed, different errors. Then i downloaded RUU_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_4.16.401.10_Radio_1.25.214500021.06G_20.68.4196t.01_F_release_417003_signed
it flashed correctly. And tryed again with that ruu m60, stuck at eror 155, to i made fastboot oem relock. and all was fine after that.

If you were "bored" you should have spent your time providing the info that ckpv5 asked for, then we could have given you specific direction on what to flash.

You need to have the MID/CID for the US Developer's Edition to flash this. I wish folks would stop to determine what specific RUU to flash, instead of constantly trying this one. Just because the description on HTC's RUU websits says "Unlocked" does not mean it will work for any SIM unlocked M8. It also says "Develops" and you certainly don't have that version.
when i got answer it was too late already.
and this ruu was only available for download from htc website. and yes i only see now that there is US in this long name
and i flashed it somehow wo changing this things i only did what i said before.
