[Q] Need to get back to stock

Hi,
I currently have a custom rooted gingerbread rom installed on my Desire with clockworkmod recovery, S-ON and HBOOT 0.80.
Problem is, I'm sending my phone off to Vodafone for recycling so need to revert software to stock.
When I try to install the latest Vodafone ROM I get a bootloader error in the RUU program (presumably because my phone needs to be HBOOT 0.75?)
I've tried flashing just a generic RUU but I get a Customer ID error when doing it. I've tried creating a goldcard but still get the same CID error in the update utility.
Any ideas on a method of getting this back to stock?
I've been going round in circles! Thanks in advance

This is step by step quide for unrooting you htc mobile phone,rember unrooting is more dangerous than rooting.You will acheve this by updating RUU ROM,this will remove custom ROM and root.
Before starting charge up your phone and secure power to you PC.
Step1
Go to shipped-roms.com>Android,and choose RUU(for desire gsm its RUU_BRAVO...)
(its recommended to check MD5 hash,to be sure that file is correct)
Step2
Open RUU file>check box...I understand the risk...>Next
(Be sure that you pass all 3 conditions)
Step3
Connect your phone to PC via USB>Click Next(if you have custom ROM it will show its name)>Click Update>Click Next(Update process is in progress,dont interrupt it)
Congratulations!Your ROM update is complete!

Done this, as mentioned, can't flash a generic rom due to the phone being CID locked to Vodafone UK. Tried creating a goldcard but still getting the CID error.
Can't flash the Vodafone UK Rom as my hboot is 0.80 and not 0.75 which is what the last Vodafone Rom is.

I've got root and have tried extracting the rom from the vodafone ruu but when I go to flash it via recovery I get the following error
E:Can't open /sdcard/rom.zip
(bad)

you don't flash the rom.zip from recovery
rename it to PB99IMG.zip exactly, and not PB99IMG.zip.zip
put it on the root of your goldcard, reboot into bootloader, should find the file, then accept.
got that from here
if it doesn't work have you looked at bortak's troubleshooting guide, stickied to top of Q&A...

Thank you sooooo much! Worked a charm

India 2.09 update failure !! Please help

Okay, so a few days ago, i updated my htc one v to version 1.56.720.2 from 1.56.720.1...
And today i noticed that there was another update to version 2.09 something ready...
I have a stock rom (bootloader unlocked, routed and cwm installed) so i followed one of the guides to protect my root and flash stock recovery version 1.56.720.1 as it was the only recovery available for indian version using hasoons all in one kit.
All went fine bit when i tried to install 2.09, the phone re boots shows a progress bar and throws up a error halfway.. a red triangle shows up ... After which the only thing i can do is to restart..
Hote do i update???
Is it because i flashed recovery of older version??

Don't really think that from .1 to .2 the recovery changed. Did you relocked your bootloader?

If you have the stock recovery, the red triangle is normal.
If you have RUU of the 2.09 try to use that from hboot menu. Also if you have busybox installed delete it, and even superSU, so go to supersu -> settings full unroot (it was a problem with my ota update to 2.08)
But if the phone is relocked, you don't have the su privileges, so it doesn't matter that much. Also, if you unlock your bootloader again, it will do a factory reset anyways. So I think the best is to do a full unroot of the phone, try the OTA update, if it does not installs do a RUU update, then unlock BL and root, it will be a clean install, and you can do everything from the start.
But there are backup utilitys at market for sms, contacts, softwares (some of them require root tough). Google is your friend

If you run the ruu, you can extract the cid that which phones is it. If you know the cid of your device and the ruu has that cid, you're set.
That error looks like a failed update, but I don't think that it could be a problem at an ota update, but who knows? Try to download tunein.
If you flash back the 1.56 ruu, you will also have a blank phone, but deffinetly stock, and thus perfectly ready for the ota update. It is safer in a way, but if the cids match the 2.09 ruu will be the same Also the RUU can say, that the phone is capable of the RUU you try to install, so it can't really do harm. The choice is yours. (RUU hard resets your phone regardless of the version)

Yea I flashed using ruu.. and updated twice to get to 2.09..
Hell lots work! But atleast my mind is soothed now
Anyway the previous installation was getting bloated!

[SOLVED] HTC One X cannot update after getting back to Stock ROM

Hey guys,
I have been lurking around the forums for sometime now and I could not find the solution to my problem so I hope someone will be able to help me.
My HTC One X (cid : HTC__203) was rooted and I tried a few ROMS before deciding to sell it before getting the upcoming HTC One.
I used the RUU to flash the original ROM I bought the phone with. I've found the file using this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660807
Current phone version is :
Now the phone issue is that Android updates cannot be installed. OTA is working, updates are detected and downloaded :
If I just say Intall now, the phone restarts with CWM (v5.8.4.0) and says it cannot mount the SD card. So I just go to Install zip from sdcard and open the file from the download folder. Then it goes :
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package ...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
So I toggle off both signature verification and get a new error about script asserts :
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update ...
assert failed: check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" .... (same pattern to 9 then comes some CID numbers where my phone one is listed)
, "HTC__001" ............... , "HTC__203" , .... , "HTC__016") == "t"
E: Error in /sdcard/Download/OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_and_blablabla.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
From there I don't know what to do. I tried to download and install the last RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed
But it fails as well :
My knowledge of phone tweaking does not go further and I don't know what to do to update my phone and make sure next updates will work.
Thanks for reading and for your help.

Re: HTC One X cannot update after getting back to Stock ROM
You cant update via a custom recovery !
Download this file
http://bugsylawson.com/index.php/fi...-r-radio-5120416229-release-302015-signedexe/
Read carefully :
Put the phone in the bootloader and relock it
Fastboot oem lock
Keep the phone in the bootloader and then click the ruu with the right mouse button and select :
"Run as administrator"
This will bring it back to stock.
What is the outcome of
Fastboot getvar version-main
Edit : i cant see the pictures very well, they are small and get blurry when i zoom them

Ok well that helps a lot. I'll try and install the stock recovery. So from what I understand, every time I'll want to install OTA updates, I'll just have to switch back to stock recovery, install the update and then reinstall CWM if I need it ?
Thanks for the info

Re: HTC One X cannot update after getting back to Stock ROM
Yeah you need stock rom, kernel and recovery to be able to perform an official htc ota

If you're running on stock sense 6 4.4.2 and you want to upgrade it to stock sense 6 4.4.4, you'll have to restore back a backup and use the OTA provided by HTC to update the device. You can get your nandroid backup from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Do not forget to check your CID as restoring another CID backup will not give you any OTA so follow instructions carefully

Thankyou so much but I read this other tutorial to get back to stock but then I found out it was the stock recovery not the rom and I dont know how to get cwm back and I tried to do it through the toolkit but it doesn't recognise my device and when I try to boot into the recovery it shows a phone with a red triangle with a exclamation point in it. I have no idea what I am going to do now and I can't take my phone back now and I only did this so I could get to the lollipop skydragon rom because its a slightly modified version of the lollipop gpe and you needed 4.4.4 to flash it without problems and at first I wasn't going to do this because I wanted the official gpe from htc but they said they were going to put it out on friday and it didn't happen and i got really tired of waiting. Do you know what I can do now. Thank you for the help. I appreciate it you're the only one that tried to help me.

This right there is the problem. If this is the exact file you are trying to flash as a ROM, then it wont work. That is not a ROM file. That is for the modified Hboot splash screen. And it wont flash through the recovery it needs to be flashed from the RUU mode.
Long story short, you need a full ROM zip to flash not just the Hboot.
