[Q] Flashing Stock ROM Nandroid backup to return to stock for OTA update

Hey guys,
I have an HTC__044 device which is unlocked and running a custom ROM with a custom boot.img. I am wanting to restore the phone to stock ROM so I can download the JellyBean OTA.
I've seen the procedure for returning to stock RUU, but I am not sure on the procedure for when you have a full Nandroid backup of your stock ROM.
Could someone please clarify?
I understand it to be as follows:
1. Boot in to recovery and restore Nandroid backup of original ROM
2. Flash stock boot.img extracted from RUU via fastboot (or boot.img from backup directory on SD card)
3. Flash stock recovery via fastboot (or recovery.img from backup directory on SD card)
4. relock bootloader via fastboot
5. Reboot phone and stock ROM will be recovered
6. Download and install OTA.
Have I missed anything? Do you really need to flash back to stock recovery? I don't really see the point of doing that?
Thanks

U can try to relocked your bootloader and flashed the RUU for your device to return back to stock and waiting for JB updates.

Yeah, looks good to me.
You don't need to relock it if you're just going to apply the OTA.
To apply OTA, you need stock recovery.

Oh really? Cool!!
So I can just recover the NANDROID backup, and flash the boot.img then check it boots. then flash the stock recovery and download the OTA without re-locking?
I thought you had to lock the bootloader to get OTA updates as unlocked bootloader sets the CID to none, so no OTAs are detected, no?

I've never tried it, but as far as I know, you don't need to lock it, updates are based on IMEI, not CID, and although CID can show as all 1s in some places, fastboot oem readcid should return the correct one.
However it takes about 5 seconds to lock it and just a few more to unlock it, so... Your choice.

If you have the Stock RUU your device shipped with, just go in fastboot, connect to pc and run the RUU.exe.
If not, the steps in first post looks like a good route to flash back to your original ROM.

In my case it was shorter:
1. Restore nandroid backup (of the original ROM, did after root).
2. Fastboot oem lock
3. Run RUU
That's all.
You can try this too.

Well, the OP didn't ask for the RUU method and said he was aware of it.
What's wrong with:
fastboot oem lock
Run RUU

Before you do anything, the best thing to do is to check again what is the actual software version no.
Go to fastboot and type below command
fastboot getvar version-main
Tell us the no. written there
Then we talk about getting your ROM back to stock

Yours is same as mine, CID HTC__044 and 3.14.707.24
When reading your thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055377 I'm a little bit puzzled on why do you want to revert to stock as your device is already on JellyBean and there is no further OTA at the moment.
Here are three scenario that you may need to choose.
1) You just want to revert to stock ROM but you still need to root it.
a. Flash the stock boot.img attached here (That's the stock boot.img for 3.14.707.24)
b. Restore your nandroid backup
c. Reboot.. you are done .. you will have stock ROM but still on custom recovery in case you still need to play around like rooting the stock ROM or whatever you want to do.
2) You want to revert to stock ROM with everything complete stock with your nandroid backup.
a. Flash the attached stock boot.img
b. Restore your nandroid backup
c. Reboot to bootloader again
d. Flash the attached stock recovery.img (That's the stock recovery.img for 3.14.707.24)
e. Relock your bootloader with command "fastboot oem lock"
f. Reboot your device.. you are done.
3) You want to revert to stock with a RUU.
a) Download RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.24_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed.exe from various site that you can it this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604 or you can download from where that I uploaded one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34971176&postcount=2487
b) Put your device in fastboot mode and relock your bootloader with command "fastboot oem lock"
c) In fastboot mode too, run the RUU and follow the updater instruction - next- next-update-blablabla until it finish
d) Complete the setup wizard, you are done.

You have to flash the stock recovery.....the nandroid is taken with a custom recovery so the stock recovery is not included in the nandroid .... therefore you need the stock one :thumbup:
This is the 3.14 stock recovery

Mate... I even attached the stock recovery and stock boot.img for him above. I don't know whether he really read those I wrote.
So Jimmy, if you want automatic update like the stock ROM as you said; read again item 2 or item 3.

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

Get yourself a ICS nandroid matching your MAIN VERSION number, restore it completely and flash back the matching stock recovery, then update manually to stock JB....again.

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
Are u on a unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery , then get your cid
Fastboot oem readcid
and download your matching nandroid here

Do a full wipe, flash the boot.img from the nandroid and restore the nandroid .... Then flash back the stock 3.14 recovery .... and then relock the bootloader

That's the closest to stock you can get !

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

flashed boot.emmc.win
extracted the files to clockworkmod\backup but when choose restore on twrp it says updating partitions and doesn't do anything
should the files be copied to twrp folder?

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] Stock on HTC ONE white screen after OTA update.

Hi guys.
Finally today I receive the OTA upgrade to JB. First an smal upgrade was succesfully downloaded and installed, and then the firmware to upgrade the phone to JB (I had 4.03 custom rom).
After the phone install the JB upgrade the phone stuck on the HTC ONE white screen
I had a backup on the SD that let me recover the phone, I try to install the upgrade again, with the same luck. I read a post that said that erasing the SD will resolve the issue, and I have no better idea than do it!!! (yeah... really!!)
I read several post all day on XDA, I try to flash again the boot and ROM with the upgrade that I save on my PC, and with a Backup via
fastboot. But nothing work (I dont know if I did it right). I cant see the SD on fastboot, already try a factory reset, when I go to the recovery option on fastboot the phone just rebooted with no options.
My CID is BSTAR301

u say you are on a custom rom, But you tried to update OTA?
Restore phone to complete stock ( even recovery) then you can update.
you could use an RUU or maybe a nandroid

Sorry, I mean I had the ORIGINAL ROM (4.03), the only change that I made was root the phone.
My CID is BSTAR301, I only have the backup files that I copy to my pc and the OTA upgrade that the phone download. I attach the images of the files that I have.
Could you please tell me how to restore it to complete stock with the commands? which files should I use?
Thanks for you help.

I assume that you first installed CWM or TWRP recovery to root your HOX, and if you make backup of your recovery this is CWM or TWRP recovery.img, not stock recovery.img that is came with phone because you reflashed original one with TWRP or CWM and official ROM need official recovery.img. I hope that you make nandroid backup before root with TWRP or CWM because is it "must to do" in every installation guide. If so, when you wanted to update via OTA for official JB you needed to:
1. reverse to stock software (for you, you needed only to unroot or use nandroid backup if you have yours, if not try to find one in xda one x forum matching your current CID and main-version)
2. reverse to stock recovery.img that is matching your CID (exact matching) (you need to find it on xda one x forum section) - i see that you have firmware folder but dont know is it from your backup or from OTA, if it is from OTA than you can use recovery.img from that folder to flash stock recovery.img via fastboot commands (only recovery.img)
3. then you can do official JB update via OTA
And then if you have need to custom ROM you need flash again CWM or TWRP recovery.img
Also you can get full stock with RUU but RUU must fully match your CID and main version, but RUU isn't available for every phone version, and after RUU you can do officall OTA JB update (for RUU you need to lock bootloader)
Information that can help us is yours phone current main version (fastboot getvar version-main)

Thanks for your help! I got the an RUU, after that I sent my backup to SD and now I have 4.0.4.
Now my phone show me a message to install the OTA to 4.1.1, but when I select install the phone make a reboot and show me CWM recovery with the message:
Finding update package...

Why the phone can't mount the SD?

You need a stock recovery. Do :
Fastboot getvar version-main
And post the outcome !

[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.

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.

can i flash firmware and nandroid in recovery?

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
