[Q] Can't install OTA update. - HTC One X

Hello all,
I can't install my OTA update, it only shows the hboot screen (what you see when you hold power and vol. down)
I've done a CWM restore from a nandroid backup for HTC__E11 (my phone)
I've restored the Stock Recovery.img from a nandroid backup for HTC__E11 (my phone)
I've restored the Stock Boot.img from a nandroid backup for HTC__E11 (my phone)
I still can't install an OTA update (3.20.401.1)
How do i solve this ?

A recovery.img inside a nandroid backup is never a Stock one. Its the custom one where the nandroid is made with !!!
Flash this one and try again

I've unlocked my device again, installed CWM.
The following steps are:
1. Nandroid restore
2. boot.img flash
3. recovery.img flash (the on from the Dropbox link)
4. fastboot oem lock
Are these steps correct ?

[Q] Update Optus001 to JB

Recently unlocked my phone (OPTUS001) cid and trying to upgrade to JB I have rooted and installed ROM Manager and download various builds through the app but all failed I am running 2.17 Have tried going back to RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Optus_AU_1.28.980.10_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_258004_signed but fails, I fairly new to modding these phone but love my HTC one X could some please help (A Noobs version) on how to upgrade to JB
Thanks In Advance
I don't think you flashed the boot.img with fastboot commands, the rommanager doesn't work because we don't have S-off phones !
Now the problem, you are unlocked and you run a custom recovery ? and on wich hboot are you on at the moment ? Put the phone in bootloader menu and check also put the phone in fastboot USB menu and do the next fastboot commands
Fastboot getvar version-main
and
Fastboot oem readcid
Post the answers to my questions and the outcome from the commands here please !

Just So I know what i'm doing before I do it
I have download matching nandriod rar format I extracted files
Contents are
.android_secure.vfat.tar
boot.img
cache.ext4.tar
data.ext4.tar
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
system.ext4.tar
with phone unlocked
do I do the following
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Wipe in recovery mode
then
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
from the downloaded files
Your help is appreciated
You have to do this :
Make a folder on the sdcard
Sdcard\clockworkmod\backup\time and date folder of the backup that's in the rar file\all those backup files
Then you copy the boot.img from it to the fastboot folder on the pc
Then you boot into the bootloader and flash that boot.img
Then you boot back into recovery and do a full wipe except sdcard. Delete all caches, data system ....
Then you tap backup & restore and restore the nandroid backup
After that you boot the phone and check it works fine
After that you flash back the STOCK recovery (its not the one from the backup because the backup is done with a custom recovery !
Here is the stock recovery you need
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
The last thing is to flash back this recovery and you are good to and update the phone with official JB

Be more specific please, did u do a system update ? To what version 4.04 ? I dont understand your software update never seen such a number ??? And what about apps ...you mean apps in the playstore ?
And maybe your provider hasn't rolled out the update to JB yet, that's why you might not get it at the moment and have to wait for it

No rooting is no problem, you can also update with root active, just make sure you keep the rom stock (don't delete system apps) or if you flash the cwm recovery and then do a new nandroid backup from this rom you always have a 100% stock rom to go back to ! Always safe to do that , and copy the new nandroid to a computer or dropbox .... Always safe !
To update you need stock rom,recovery and boot.img ....

Tried to boot into recovery but now get a red triangle
Yes thats the stock recovery....its normal, if you want to enter the recovery after that you have to push volume down and power button to confirm.....if i recall it right.
Its volume + and power button
But the stock recovery is pretty much useless ....it doesn't have the features that a custom recovery has

Any way to flash ruu via fastboot

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

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

Yes if the backup was done with twrp you can't restore it in the cwm folder. Don't know the exact paths of the twrp backup

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]/

[Q] Reset Htc One X To Stock With Ruu

Hello,
I am currently trying to reset my HTC One X from Cyanogenmod 10.1 to the Stock ROM. I have HBOOT 1.39.0000, the Bootloader is relocked and its unbranded with a cid 102.
I am using Windows 8.
I already tried the following RUU versions:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed
and
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed
But i always get the Error 140, which tells me that something is wrong with my bootloader version.
What am i doing wrong?
Thank you.
Whats the outcome of
Fastboot getvar verion-main
Does it match the ruu number ? And did you relock the bootloader before running the ruu with admin rights ?
it says: version main: 3.18.401.1
And yes i relocked the bootloader before starting the RUU
I have the same issue:
cid: HTC__032
version-main : 3.20.401.3
cannot go back to stock due to version beeing to high. Is there any other way?

OK, flashed recovery, but from fastboot if I chose recovery the phone just goes back to fast boot. How do I know that the recovery is flashed correctly ?
When the command window says OKEY
Ok so I now restored the Stock ROM with the Nandroid Backup and everything seems to work, except the touchscreen XD
The phone doesnt respond to my finger.
Did i do something wrong?

did you flash also boot.img and recovery.img?
steps are:
restore with nandroid
flash boot.img
flash recovery.img
lock or do not lock bootloader (this one is your choice)

Did you wipe everything?
1. fastboot flash boot boot.img (The one from nandroid backup)
2. fastboot erase cache
3. Go to recovery and flash this : http://d-h.st/kG0
4. Now restore nandroid backup
5. Wipe cache/dalvc (Just in case)
6. Reboot.
for updates you need also the stock recovery
Is it possible to revert to 3.20.401.1 from 4.18.401.2 by using 3.20.401 nandroid backup?

You have to flash boot.img from your nandroid backup after or before , restore the nandroid backup file.

Personally, I would flash a near stock ROM like MaximusHD. If you go back to actual stock, and downgrade, you will get notifications for software updates all the time.

You'll need the nandroid. You won't be able to run a Kit-Kat ROM with the old firmware. Plus you won't get the updates without the older ROM. Flash them all, then take the OTAs up until 4.4.4.

No. You flash the nandroid by putting it into your TWRP backup folder, then restoring.
The firmware is flashed either through ADB/fastboot, or by renaming it to 0P6BIMG.zip, placing it onto the root of your extSD, and entering hboot.
The prompts will direct you (vol up to flash, power button to reboot.) That only will work with a firmware zip though. Not an .exe

Truthfully, I am unsure. I know what to do when you upgrade. Firmware first, then ROM (in this case nandroid). I don't know if it will really matter or not. Like I said, I am unfamiliar with reverting.
If it was me (once again, I haven't done this ~ It's just what I would try if it was me, from my thoughts about the process), I would do the opposite. Restore the nandroid first, then flash the older firmware.

1: flash the firmware twice in a row.....yes TWICE
2: Go into the bootloader and check the OS version number. If its downgraded to 1.54 its oke
3: flash the recovery which the nandroid backup is made with (probably a 2.7 based TWRP) and then RESTORE the nandroid backup from inside the CUSTOM recovery.
4: reboot
