[Q] Restoring nandroid backup

Hi all,
I was on stock 1.26 then unlocked rooted and installed CWM.
I made a backup with cwm, and then installed CM9. I'm going to return my One X and want to restore the backup. My question now is, do I need and boot.img first before I can restore my backup? During the backup process CWM said 'backing up boot image..' So will it restore it as well?
Thanks in advance....

No just restore your backup, flash stock recovery and then re-lock bootloader.

Help (if anyone can)
Hi, noob here (registration wise) been lurking for a year of so now.
First up I want to say I am not totally new to everything, I have rooted, flashed all sorts of roms etc on other models but my issue is with returning to stock on an HTC One X. I am hoping either someone can help me or at least tell me no one can at the moment.
I have done a number of searches and tried various things none of which have worked I am currently romless (no os installed when checked last on twrp) however since then I have also tried flashing a rom.zip so no longer have twrp at the moment but hopefully can still install it as I can get into fastboot.
My device is on Voda UK so currently it doesnt have an ruu that I can find the only thing I found was this a 3.14.161.27 rom zip which I tried flashing but while it flashed it just stays on the htc screen (it seems quite small and didnt have a system image in so wasnt sure if it was even complete)
My question is can I do anything with a nandroid backup if I can find one to get a uk stock even if its not Vodafone (or does it have to be Voda) if so can anyone point me to a dl? if not can anyone suggest anything to try or am I going to have to try and flash a custom rom again and not be on stock until a ruu is made if one is.
Thanks in advance for any guidance

Hi,
Version-main is 3.14.161.27 (that zip i tried earlier was meant to be the latest files) cid is vodap001

Oke so the zip is a nandroid backup ? Of so, you need to unpack it !
Check here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
It has your nandroid backup, in the OP you also get a description where to put it on the sdcard !
With the recovery i sent you, you can mount the sdcard as a mass storage device and copy it over

so does it not matter that the version number of a nandroid backup is lower than my version main? (sorry for the question this nandroid backups are the one part of this side of thing I am not familiar with)

No that's not the issue, but the thread has your exact main version nandroid !

ok thanks I just looked at the initial post and saw vodap001 was lower than my version (hence why my question) but then searched the thread and saw the vodap102 can be used on mine and that is the same version.

Yes it should be compatible......but you can also restore a lower matching version and restore the stock recovery afterwards and update to JB again !
If you want to be 100% sure it works , go for option 2 .... Restore the lower one and update again

RUU for Vodafone UK 1.36 Hboot

Does anyone have a link to download the above RUU so that i can get back to stock - made a mess of flashing a custom rom last night

Boot to bootloader, check your main version ( fastboot getvar version-main ) and then just download correct RUU from this site - http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Endeavor

Vodaphone hasn't released a JB ruu, you might have more succes in the nandroid backup thread. Get your main like said before and check there. The thread is located in the general section.
Match the main version with the nandroid backup, don't look at the cid ! if it is not there you can also download a matching nandroid that start with a lower software number so if you need a 3.14 nandroid and its not there but a 2.17 nandroid is actually there you can use that one. Flash back the matching stock recovery and update to JB again. Then you have a stock JB rom again.....and then MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP !

Don't worry, get me your main version number.....the one that comes out with the fastboot command
Fastboot getvar version-main

concerned i will not be able to mount my sd card using my recovery as per the instruction in the thread tried it before and it was a no go

Downgrading 3.20?

Seeing as there is no 3.20 RUU yet is there anyway I can return to stock on a 3.20 base?
My CID is HTC__001

Yes with a nandroid backup

Ok thanks for that, do I need to relock the bootloader after the backup? Also do I need a 3.20 nandroid backup or can I use a 3.14 one?

No, you need to restore a 3.20.401 nandroid backup (assuming that's the one you are after) and flash back a 3.14 stock recovery. Then you are able to update with official ota's

Yes ideally I need a 3.20 backup, just looking for one now.

Backup + recovery

Thanks for that. So I restore the backup first, then flash stock recovery? Can I not flash my 3.14 RUU after that?

I'm looking to flash my unrooted One X, (Wifi signal has been dodge for a while, factory reset didn't resolve it). I'm the same HTC_001 3.20.401.1. Can I just drop the boot and recovery files in the root of my phone's storage then just boot into recovery mode and go from there?

No you can't do that. Is the bootloader unlocked ? If not you can't do anything. If it is is unlocked you can install an older stock rom based on 3.14.

[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?
If yes, what else to do with boot.img?

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

Unable to RUU back to stock

I had a lot of challenges getting venom onto my one x, now I'm looking to put it back to stock and OTA update for blinkfeed etc.
However,,,,
I don't have a nadroid backup to use. And everything I download doesn't work RUU wise.
My CID is VODAP001 and the version stated in fastboot is 3.14.161.27
So I downloaded RRU 1.29.161.13 signed from xda but if fails with error 140 boot loader version error.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately not, you cannot downgrade, and the RUU for 3.14.161.27 is not leaked. Unless you can find a nandroid backup of 3.14.161.27, you are bound to custom ROMs. Maximus and Android Revolution HD are close to stock.
I see a nandroid backup for CID VODAP102 (3.14.161.27) in the nandroid collection, but unfortunately no CID VODAP001 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140

I have the same problem as i didnt backup my stock rom and my version main is 3.14.161.28 and there is no RUU or nandroid i can find for this version and CID VODAP102

Tried those but it didn't work, fails to install.
I cant mount any storage in CWM either so had to use ADB push to send the zip.
Any ideas what im doing wrong?

Try Philz touch recovery and see if you can mount storage with that

Might have it sorted. Changed the driver on the pc can now see storage. I also messed with the folder name of the nand trying to make it easier as I had loads. It now seems to be doing the restore in cwm.

yes restore worked now on very old software...
can I install the OTA its downloading now or do I have to do something else first? flash a stock recovery etc?

for in 6 months time when I get stuck on this again yes you need the stock recovery installed to apply OTA updates.
