flash stock ruu on htc one x - HTC One X

After an OTA update my htc one x got into boot loop and the battery also stopped charging.
i charged the battery with the help of fashboot script and unlocked my boot loader and installed custom recovery. After that i charged my phone fully but still it is not starting. stuck at boot loop.
now i want to install stock ruu so please help to find the right ruu for my htc one x
CID-11111111
version-main-2.17.401.2
S-OFF
i tried to install /RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27_Radi o_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
this one but it gave an error "Error [159]:image error. choose the correct rom.
please help thanks in advance:crying:

You have S-OFF and SuperCid, so I think the RUU method should work, but maybe first change the CID to another like HTC__001 or HTC__E11 using command like in fastboot mode:
"fastboot oem writecid HTC__001"

Yep should work
Or flash the 1.39 hboot firmware and then the 3.14 ruu

Mr Hofs thanks for your kind reply
i tried JB FW easy flasher tool. It changed my CID from 11111111 to HTC_621 and tried to flash firmware but it got stuck at sending 'zip' and phone remains at silver htc logo.
so far i tried to run RUU with my cid as 11111111
shall i try to run RUU after my cid changed to HTC_621
and i dont know how to upgrade hboot.
sir please guide

So your fastboot works......well download the 3.14.401 firmware zip file from the firmware placeholder thread (where you also posted in)
Rename the zip file to firmware.zip and flash it
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
This all needs to be done with a locked/relocked bootloader.

Mr Hofs first of all thank you very much for your help.
here is my story. i bought HTC one x 10 days ago. i am not aware of initial CID, hboot etc. i bought it from Taiwan and presently i am in india.
After two days there was an OTA i got my phone updated and all the problems started. it got into bootloop. This is the time i look for help on XDA. I did factory reset but of no use. After some time i realized battery is also not charging. Every time i plug the phone to pc or wall charger it starts automatically and gets into bootloop. With the help of XDA i found the fastboot script for charging the battery. After that i unlocked my phone and flashed the CWM recovery and got battery charged.
It is the time i came know about
UNLOCKED
S-OFF
version-main-2.17.401.2
Hboot-1.12.0000
CID-11111111
But the problem of not booting up still persisting.
i downloaded and tried
1. RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed_2
2. ruu_endeavor_u_jb_45_s_htc_europe_3.14.401.27_radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed
3. RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_TW_3.14.709.20_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_292865_signed_2
and
4. RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed_2
first three RUU stuck at sending file and after 10 minutes or so gave error [159]:image error
The fourth one installed successfully without giving any error but the phone was still in bootloop.
I tried custom rom cyanogenmod 10.1 but it didnt install, it required higher version of Hboot.
Tried MIUI rom it got installed but the touch screen not working.
After that as you suggested i tried to update the firmware 3.14.401. The link you gave was not working may be temporarily. But it was already there on my pc. I didnt flashed it earlier because i was not sure whether this was correct firmware for my phone.
A week passed in above mentioned research.
Today i flashed the firmware and it gave and error with the message to flash it again immediately. So again i run the command but noting happened. so after 15 minutes i removed the phone from pc and restarted it and there it was Hboot-1.39.
So i tried the RUU no. 3 (mentioned above). This time it stuck at erasing user data for about 30 minutes so again i removed the phone from pc.
After that i installed cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly.
Now the phone is working put some features are not working like camer. i think this may be the fault of rom..
Sir should i flash the firmware again?
What i do know to go back to stock or custom rom fully functional and similar to stock.
Well anyway i had lost the hope and with your kind support i made is of some use. Thanks again

Try any other sense based rom, all roms should work on that hboot (1.39) even all sense 5 roms.
So try SD rom, or viper x 4....just to name a few....or arhd, doesn't matter wich one actually. Just try one and get back

Sir now the camera is not working. when i switch on the camera it displays distorted static colors instead of image, its totally garbled.
and in SD rom the even after inserting the sim there is no network.
whereas in cyanogenmod network was there. only the camera was having the same problem.
and sometimes there is error "command write failed" using fastboot commands
And sir sometimes commands does not works. It hangs at sending .... even in ruu also it stuck at erasing data, sometime at rebooting to bootloader and sometime at sending... dont know what is happening .
And after flashing firmware 3.14. when i boot into boot loader there is one thing which comes in red for around one second or so.. "[preload] Failed to open usb mass storage" something like that..
dont know how to fix it.

Try to use a USB 2.0 port (no USB 3.0)
You could try to disable virusscannersoftware
Download the stock recovery and boot.img from a 3.14.401.31 and flash them via fastboot firmware 3.14.401.31
Write CID to HTC__E11
Relock your bootloader
Flash a RUU via PC (execute .exe file) download RUU. I recommend a re-download, cause you had img error before.

Sir i am using windows8 and not able to extract recovery and boot image from the RUU 3.14.401.31. any idea how to extract on windows.

The firmware is a zip file open it with 7zip and copy the boot.img and recovery from it and flash it
And btw, flashing boot and recovery files has to be done with a UNLOCKED bootloader, installing ruu files and flashing firmware files has to be done with a LOCKED/RELOCKED bootloader !

Thanks to XDA and all the members who helped me in repairing my HTC ONE X.
continuing from last post.
As suggested by Webpatrick i installed stock recovery and boot image extracted from firmware 3.14.401.31.
tried to change my cid to HTC_E11 but it gave an error. i could change my cid to HTC_621 only.
so after done above i tried to install ruu http://htc.vi8.info/hTC-One-X/RUU_E...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe
It gave cid error. So i changed my cid back to Supercid and again run the said RUU.
This time it flashed my HOX successfully. now i have stock rom.
Soon i will post the nandroid backup of my phone hoping it will help somebody like me..
once again thanks to all.

This is assuming you didnt completely brick your phone which, was my situation. also assuming you can still access your start menu:
click start>settings> on the bottom next to Personal tab, select System.
now select Clear Storage(the icon should be a garbage can with files going into it)
I believe it prompts you to give it the okay. I dont remember if it told me i was going to lose all saved applications and contacts, BUT yeah I did lose all that stuff. That was more than fine considering my phone was ****ED! No apps would open there were errors all over the place and I couldnt get it to flash. Anyway, it hard resets, you see the att screen and it literally goes thru the whole customization setup you went thru when you first turned it on. THATS A GOOD SIGN! haha. it works perfectly.
CONCLUSION: This simple way put my phone right back to its original ATT settings down to the very last piece of crap, lol. BUT i was MOREEE than happy to see it. From there I was able to flash HardSPL(ROM that allows flashing of any other ROM your heart desires)...and the rest is history!
Hope this helps.

Well, I think I killed it :(

Having a problem with my DHD after unlocking the bootloader through HTCDEV and then running the Advanced ACE Hack Kit.
It appears to be flashing roms but when rebooting it's just freezing at the HTC screen.
Now, I know it must be something I've done/I'm doing but I have no idea what so can someone please talk me through flashing the easiest rom in the easiest way?
Can you access to the bootloader(Turn off the device then press and hold vol down and power together until booted)?

Yep. I can get into the bootloader so i've been going into recovery (which is now ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7) and trying to flash different roms from there but none are working so it must be something I'm doing

You are not bricked if you can access bootloader.
You have to flash the Roms boot.img separate when you flash roms with unlocked bootloader, I would recommend to run the ruu from your computer when in fastboot mode, then relock the bootloader using HTCdev and rerun the advanced ace hack kit.

Gixermouse, you commited a mistake covered in the effen manual...you tried running the kit with an unlocked bootloader. You need to relock it first and then re run the Kit.
Do the following:
1) Boot in hboot and then choose fastboot.
2) Plug the phone (until you see fastboot usb)
3) Open a cmd as Admin in the PC or Terminal as root (in linux or mac)
4) Type: fastboot oem lock
then you should see OKAY. finished...then reboot the phone and from the htc screen run the Hack Kit again...
It will work unless you did a factory reset....if you need help just let me know...:good:

umm...it seems that u have done a factory reset. I guess the best u can do is to flash a ruu, go back to stock and then when working re run the Hack Kit to gain S-OFF and root.

The phone is a replacement board fitted by HTC under waranty after mine died (through no fault of my own that time!)
It wasn't network locked and was running 2.3.5 when I recieved it.
By booting in recovery and mounting the system data and cache I was able to make it appear to flash a rom and when I did a backup the files were on there but it still wouldn't boot.
If there's anything else you need let me know because the LG-A100 I've borrowed is now driving me crazy and I'm getting a bit desperate

What sense version do you want in result: 4+ or 5?
Did you update your phone via OTA earlier?
Post bootloader error here, please. Looks like your bootloader is updated and do not match requirements to flash RUU from Hutchison.
1.- i dont know what is better, if 4+ or 5.
2.- in fact the phone was updated by other person, i don't know what he did :/
3.- let me flash ruu again and post bootloader error.
if it's usefull, it has Team Win Recovery Project v2.4.1.0 installed.
thanks for reply

Well, looks like firmware\hboot was updated and latest RUU for your CID requires older firmware\hboot.
So, you can't use old RUU to go back to stock.
You need to flash stock ROM for 1.39 hboot from recovery
Try to find ROM like this one, but older: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970&highlight=*stock*
I guess you need to search 3.18 or 3.20 version, don't remember wwich one will work with 1.39
ok, i'll search it.
thank you sir, i'll let you know the results.
one more question, can i use this method posted here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927048

***For this nand to work you need HBOOT 1.39 and cwm***
1) go into fastboot and enter "fastboot oem lock" - the device will reboot
2) go into fastboot again and enter "fastboot oem rebootRUU" - there will be a black screen with a silverish HTC logo
3) enter "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" (you need the firmware.zip from page 1 for this)
3a) enter the same again, the green bar under the logo should go to 100% (either after the first or second time)
4) enter "fastboot reboot-bootloader" to go back to your fastboot
5) unlock your device again with the unlock code ("fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin")
6) Restore your old boot.img (fastboot flash boot name_of_boot_file.img) and recovery (fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_file.img), make sure you copied them from the nandroid backup folder we created earlier into the folder that contains the fastboot.exe you're using.
7) Reboot and you should now have Hboot 1.39 with your old boot and recovery.
(8) If it won't work we still have the backup ready to restore the old system, Hboot isn't changeable right now on S-ON devices outside of the RUU routine - so even if you restore your nandroid you should still have Hboot 1.39 now)
Confirmed working with H3G__001, H3G__003, H3g__G04

yes, you can try this method

Screwed Up Need Help URGENT

Hi. My phone has had issues with not being able to be mount backups on TWRP and have tried everything to fix the problem with no luck. I read somewhere on a post that the only way I can fix my problem is to relock my bootloader and flash a RUU which I'm in the process of doing now. This all started when I accidentally deleted my system files (which was stupid) in TWRP. Have I screwed up and will I be able to flash the RUU onto my phone.
NEVER do anything until you got the correct files. Who says there is a RUU ? we need info.....
Post the outcome of :
Fastboot getvar all (and del the IMEI & SERIAL)
Can you enter the bootloader and the recovery ?

Thanks for the quick response, it's really late right now but hopefully I can post those details tomorrow morn. I can enter bootloader/hboot which my computer recognizes. Though I have relocked the bootloader which I can easily unlock, it's status is relocked. My recovery (TWRP) was killing me though as every time I pushed a file through adb which was received the bloody program spat out an error every time about being unmountable to the system and cache. I know I shouldn't have rooted my device if I didn't know what I was doing and what did you mean about not having the correct files? I did have a cm11 stable backup but that wouldn't "mount to disk" either. From what I have heard I think this is a soft brick which would mean it is repairable? Or is it just a lost cause?
Also if this helps, I am s-on and wiped my dalvik, cache, data and accidents the system. I also have a 32 gb sd card installed on the device.
Cool. The easiest way is to unlock the bootloader, load a rom.zip (preferably) a sense 6 (close to stock rom like arhd or maximus) and perform a full wipe in the recovery and install the rom.zip via the recovery (external sd)
See if there are any errors in this process

Tried this, if I try to load a rom onto my m8 it will automatically fail. The rom is not able to be mounted to anything. I also tried flashing a boot.img to try to get it to startup but it also failed from the same reasons as flashing a sense base rom and cm11. Also before I cleared the system partition I had a gpe rom installed if that helps.
Was it a complete gpe or just a Rom? Also if Roms are failing to install get the sdcard from the phone and use a card reader...then put the zip on it and flash it..normally a boot.img fastboot should be flashed without problems

LOL People rely on having a ruu to much. Good luck in finding one for him. Since he is s-on it has to match his official main too because downgrading is not an option (with a ruu)

GOD YES!, i've somehow managed to get the bloody device to boot up but now its stuck in a bootloop. I think i opened up a custom rom extracted the boot.img file and flashed it to something (not sure what). Does this mean i have to manually replace each partition (data, cache, system ect.) with a part of a rom?
I would install a fresh rom via the sdcard.
And you "think" you opened a rom.zip and flashed a boot.img ? Seriously .....

No you need to PM the guy with the mkfs file and fix that first.
ok just pm'ed him, hope he can respond soon. As for the state of my phone, is it soft or hard bricked? I just can't tell the difference because other people in the same situation as me have given up.
Its soft......as long as you can reach the bootloader it could be fixed.

Brick?

Hi,
I have a big problem with my HTC one M8.
I was tring to back sense from GPE conversion, and now I do not know how to proceed. Maybe bricked my phone.
My situation is as follows:
Relocked. Adb can't find my device so I can not unlock again.
No recovery, no ROM installed. So, I can not flag USB debug. Can't proceed since relocked. Any suggestion?

You can't install custom recovery with a (re)locked bootloader.
With s-off, you shouldn't ever relock the bootloader, as its no longer a requirement to RUU once s-off. But that's neither here nor there at this point, just info for future reference.
Any response to: fastboot devices
Make sure the phone is in fastboot mode.
Try to run the GPE RUU with phone in fastboot mode, to get the phone back up and running at least. Assuming you are still on the GPE CID and MID.
How can I flash ruu gpe with boot loader relocked? Is it possible? It gives me error.

I think you've got it backwards. With s-on the bootloader actually needs to be relocked (or locked) in order to RUU.
With s-off, RUU will run whether the bootloader is unlocked, relocked, or locked.
In other words, the bootloader being relocked is not the problem.
What is the error message?
Did you change the CID/MID yet (what are they currently)? The CID and MID need to match the RUU.
Hi guys,
I have a problem with my one m8 at&t, unlocked, and i can only navigate in hboot in hboot & fastboot modes. no htc logo screens or sth like this.

Its friends phone so i dont know what he had done to it, but i just want to make it work again, wiping data is not the problem.. can you tell me what should i do to get recovery( TWRP/ CWM) working, thats all i need for now because im going to s-off later. i tried to do something but it didnt work.

When you get a chance, you should list exactly (in detail, and in order) what you have done to the phone to get to this point.
I can't tell how far you go in the conversion (GPE>Sense) but it seems you at least got partway (if you indeed got a partition size error).
Also need to know current CID and MID.

I would highly suggest not to post to another user's troubleshooting thread like this, as it doesn't look like the same problem at all (and in my experience rarely is, even when folks will post "I have the same issue"). You really should have just started your own thread, and would have been justified doing so IMO. Posting here just confuses matters for you, the OP and those trying to help.
But DON'T start another thread now (and add even more confusion). I'll ask the mods if they can move this post to its own thread.
ok, sorry

I went now in fastoob mode and tried to flash the RUU GPE again.
The error is:
macbooks-MacBook-Proownloads macbook$ ./fastboot-mac flash RUU-HTC_One_M8_GPE_5.1-4.04.1700.4.zip
unknown partition 'RUU-HTC_One_M8_GPE_5.1-4.04.1700.4.zip'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'RUU-HTC_One_M8_GPE_5.1-4.04.1700.4.zip'
Just to clarify. I successfully when in GPE (with conversation). The problem was when going back to Sense. I do not know exactly what I did wrong.
My CID is 11111111
My MID is 0P6B10000
Really do not know how to proceed.
M
I unfortunately don't know jack about how to use fastboot and other actions on a Mac. I'm also not that familiar with running the RUU as a zip (I always do it on a PC with the RUU .exe).
But it looks like you just have the command syntax wrong. I think it should be:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip filename.zip
But it also look to me like nothing is actually "wrong" (aside from adb not working?). The phone not booting after relocking the bootloader is normal and intentional. You should just be able to run the desired Sense RUU, provided you have the right MID.
I am back to GPE!
Stupid me! I missed a "zip" in the fastboot command...
Thank you for support!
I will try again to go back to Sense.

Some folks have had to do this, some haven't. But yes, if the RUU fails and gives a image size error, flashing the Sense firmware manually (then RUU) is the right thing to do.
This part has never made sense to me, since the RUU flashes firmware anyway, by definition. All I can guess, is that it has to do with the sequence in which the firmware is flashed (versus other partitions) in the RUU.

I just said in the post you quoted: some folks are fine just running the RUU (to convert from GPE to Sense); but when the RUU alone doesn't work, run the firmware manually first, then the RUU.
Running the firmware manually first (then RUU) has a higher chance of working, I'd say.

Variant System Version OTA Update Error

After a long wait I finally got my ota update to Nougat.
But there is another problem, I cant finish the update because my phone showed that error.
I'm on stock M9 in bootloader it says software status official, locked, and s-on. No root, as I have checked it using root checker. Recovery is there.
I never modified my phone. And its fine back when I updated from lollipop to mm via ota, there is no problem.
And as far as I know, my phone is on correct mid and cid, SKU 708, mid 0PJA10000 exactly the same with mid engraved on my phone, and cid HTC__044
But when I update mm to nougat, this variant system version error shows up
I have tried to flash RUU of my current firmware, but still nothing.
Please help me, where did I do wrong? or how can I solve this problem?
Bumping this because I got the same thing too.
My device is not even rooted!

If you can't flash an OTA via the software update function then you can't flash it via fastboot, either. Your phone doesn't pass the security checks that google implemented with android 5 so the method you use for flashing the OTA doesn't matter.
Flash a RUU and re-try to install the OTA. If that still doesn't matter then please copy and paste your fastboot getvar all output here (without your IMEI!), as well.

If that is an exact copy of the output then it's no miracle that you can't install the OTA. That CID doesn't exist. It needs to be HTC__044 (8 letters, numbers or symbols in total and no spaces). You need S-OFF for being able to correct your CID.

Ah my bad. The correct CID is HTC__044, as I mentioned in the thread first post.
I just using image to text converter because I have screencap of the output and didn't see that straight away.
Ah ok. And I already hoped that we found the cause of the problem... There have been some threads about devices that got bought in the US, S-OFFed and reflashed to non-US versions for selling them in other countries, in the past (around the time when firmware 2.x was the latest one). In most cases the sellers didn't convert the phones correctly and the buyers faced similar errors to your one when they tried to install an OTA.
Unfortunately there's nothing strange I can find in that output, then.

Thanks for helping me figuring out the problem.
If that is the problem, then why I have successfully update from lollipop to mm?
Yes i did buy it second hand, he said that the phone is from Singapore, and from the getvar output it is make sense that my phone came from Singapore.
Soo...I believe my only option is to S-OFF and convert to other version to get the update, is that correct?
I just re-read your opening post. Looks like I missed the part with the engraving. The US variant has a different engraving than the one you mentioned. So my assumption is probably wrong.
Since I have no clue what might cause your problem I actually don't see any other solution than getting S-OFF and converting the phone.
If there was a publicly available 4.x RUU for your SKU you could have asked Sneakyghost whether he creates a firmware package for you. By flashing that (S-OFF needed) you would have been able to use the 4.x RUU although you never installed the corresponding OTA. This way you could have kept your SKU. However, I haven't seen a public download link for such a RUU, yet. Therefore, you'll need to convert to a different SKU if you want the latest firmware.
Since you're still on firmware 3.x you need to flash one of Sneakyghost's 4.x packages before you can flash a 4.x RUU of the SKU that you want to convert to. Or you use a 3.x RUU for converting and try to install the OTA of the new SKU, afterwards. (The latter will probably take longer in total.)
Alternatively, you can wait some more days and see if some else has a better idea.

Can you please copy and paste the fastboot getvar all output here (without your IMEI!)? It might help us to help you.

I rebooted into bootloader to get the getvar but it doesnt work.
adb lists no devices.
Also, see the enclosed pic. that's as far as i managed to get.
Adb won't work if the device isn't booted to system or recovery mode.
And since the fastboot mode doesn't exist anymore on the M9 and all newer HTC phones you need to boot to download mode.

booted to system: adb sees device but says it's offline
booted to dl mode: adb can't see the device.
anyway, i took picture of what dl mode looks like. Attached.
Yeah, that's how it's supposed to be. ADB can only be used if the phone is booted to the system or the recovery mode. You can't use ADB commands while it's booted to the bootloader or the download mode. You need to use fastboot commands in these modes.

apparently i had a problem with drivers. i have fixed it now, that's why it gave empty devices.
Ok went back to bootloader mode. run fastboot getvar all:
Code:
(bootloader) version:0.5
(bootloader) variant:MTP eMMC
(bootloader) secure:yes
(bootloader) version-baseband:
(bootloader) version-bootloader:
(bootloader) max-download-size: 0x20000000
(bootloader) partition-type:cache:ext4
(bootloader) partition-size:cache: 0x14000000
(bootloader) partition-type:userdata:ext4
(bootloader) partition-size:userdata: 0x5e0000000
(bootloader) partition-type:system:ext4
(bootloader) partition-size:system: 0x118000000
(bootloader) serialno:HT54GYJ05021
all:
finished. total time: 0.132s
this is instead the same taken from dl mode:
Code:
(bootloader) kernel: lk
(bootloader) product: htc_himauhl
(bootloader) version: 1.0
(bootloader) version-main: 3.42.708.3
(bootloader) boot-mode: download
(bootloader) version-baseband: 01.01_U11440801_97.04.60111G_F
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.0.0.0000
(bootloader) mid: 0PJA10000
(bootloader) cid: HTC__044
all:
finished. total time: 0.006s
what now?
Mhm, there's nothing strange in that output, either.
Can you flash a RUU and re-try installing the OTA? If that doesn't fix the problem then the only other option is converting the phone as I already suggested to vglaksana.
