Hi XDA,
I'm stuck with my HTC One X (non-branded, probably the international version?). I have read a lot of guides, but can't seem te find the right solution for my problem. I hope you can give me some advice how to fix my One X.
First of all; I rooted my phone, put Clockworkmod Recovery on it, made a complete backup with it and installed MaximusHD on it (and probably flashed the kernel, as mentioned on the How-to).
This was in september last year. Everything worked fine.
Yesterday I wanted to install the newest Cyanogen (cm-11-20140325-NIGHTLY-endeavoru), so I did a Factory Reset and wiped cache and dalvik through recovery. When trying to install I got an error message: set_metadata_recursive: some files could not load.
After that I tried some other roms. The latest Miui and Cyanogen cm-10.1.0-RC3-endeavoru installed succesfully, but all the signals were not working (no wifi, bluetooth, data, mobile operator).
It wasn't even possible to install back the OptimusHD rom (got the set_metadata_recursive error upon instal).
After searching this error message I read about updating ClockWorkMod to the latest version. Through fastboot I could finally update CWM, but this didn't solve the error.
It was possible for me to restore my own backup through CWM, but I got the same problem with all network/signals not working.
I tried to return to stock with RUU, by following a guide. Can't find the link again, but I first needed to relock and than install the folowing exe on my pc;
RUU_Endeavor_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed
My device showed a HTC logo, but at the end of the installation the exe gave me an message that it couldn't update or something.
I also tried guide, but now my device is Relocked, so it won't work.
My device information;

Can someone please help me with the next step to fix my phone? I think I need to unlock him first, but don't want to do anything untill I know if I do it right.
At first... Unlock bootloader again,....then always if you flash a Rom you have to flash the boot.img through fastboot which is inside each Rom.zip....second yea like you saw then you need a newer recovery...the best is to use this recovery http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pr...5bfb18530caaa2&ts=1395833912&use_mirror=cznic
(Sry for the long link )
There you can flash kitkat roms and sense roms so you don't have to change each time the recovery...all is working fine there...then again do the factory reset and flash the Rom you want...then boot into bootloader and flash the boot.img of the Rom you want to use...like I said the boot.img is inside the zip you flashed
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk
1. Unlock bootloader again
2. Flash latest twrp recovery
3. Wipe data, system, dalvik and cache from recovery
4. Extract boot.img from the rom zip file you want to flash on your pc
5. Flash a new ROM
6. Flash boot.img from fastboot
7. Reboot
Thanks for the quick answers!
Flashing the boot.img of the rom did the trick!:victory:

Hi Guys,
It's been a while since I wrote on this forum... I may be tired, but I can't work out a few things:
I have a T-Mobile UK HTC One X, due to some circumstances I needed to completely wipe...
I was already running an unbranded stock firmware on it, but after the complete wipe i wanted to install JB 4.2.2 S5 - I usually unlock the bootloader, install clockworks, copy the original unedited complete firmware zip on it and install it via the recovery, then relock the bootloader and job done, but I cannot seem to find a complete unedited rom, is either RUU.exe (which I cannot run as the PC wont see the phone due to no firmware on it, I think) or nandrom backups which I don't really want, all the OTA ones seem to just be updates and am stuck with a phone that only has clockwork recovery on it....
Where can I get an official unedited zip that I can install via clockworks?
Thanks

I wanted to change Super CID it but apparently it will need to be s-off and cant get round to do that, I wanted to install a non branded RUU but this is not allowed due to the wrong CID arg, stupid phones, was easier to flash unbranded firmware to old Nokia on Symbian...

You have good hboot for sense 5 rom 4.2.2 install MaximusHD or ARHD or any sense 5 rom and you are ready to go.
I wanted a stock ROM, the Mrs is not very technical minded lol and a customer ROM won't help her, either TMO UK or in branded, where can I get the RUU for it?
Thanks all
Unfortunately T-Mobile skipped the sense 5, 4.2.2 update, I have the same device and cid and called them countless times, spoke to managers and had it escalated to the highest level only to be told they would not be updating past 4.1.1
Every other network pushed that but them, if you stick to stock T-Mobile ROM you would be missing 2 very important updates, one being the heartbleed patch.
Just grab MaximusHD from the development forum, its the best sense 5 ROM out there and has important ota updates too.
I suppose I will have install it via the custom recovery, could I not install the unbranded RUU 4.2.2? Does anyone know how to s-off correctly, so that I can change the CID.
By the way thank you all for your replies

There must be a way to s-off the Maximus HD ROM says "1. Make sure your device is unlocked or have s-off"
Why would it say that on "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2410320" if there was no s-off ways? am confused lol

Hi Friends,
First things first - I have looked up and tried several things that other folks facing similar issues have tried. None of it has worked for me.
Coming to the problem now.
It all began when I decided to unroot and install a custom ROM on my stock HTC One X and downloaded a stable build from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_endeavoru.
I followed the tutorials and unlocked my device and started off with CWM recovery 5.8.2.7. Did some experiemenation with backup and recovery. So far, so good.
I decided to use the 4.4 ROM and as per some information available it needed me to update to CWM 6.0.4.8. I did so but when I tried to go in recovery, the screen went blank. Tried it multiple times without luck.
Then I switched over to TWRP 2.7.1 and used it to install the cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-endeavoru.zip. It failed with status 7. Assert checks on bootloader ver failed (as per checks it would need anything 1.28 or higher). I am on hboot 1.12. I extracted the boot.img from the rom zip and flashed it from fastboot. It showed no change in hboot version (maybe this is where I faulted). It still won't install rom zip as I would expect.
Now the phone won't go beyond "Quietly Brilliant" screen on power on. Recovery to saved backup says its successful but it still gets stuck at same screen on reboot.
Would appreciate help and pointers from anyone who could help.
Thanks in advance,
Kunal

Hi Thant,
Thanks for your tip. I will give this a try (though I will be able to try it out someone later this week only and provide update how it went).
Having said that, I have one question though - the link to RUU you specified looks like for unlocked HTC Europe version. I'm from India and I found that there might be one with same radio for India here.
Not doubting your advice, but just want to know what is the basis for knowing what RUU one must use ?
Also, can I choose the one for India (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_India_3.14.720.24_Radio_5.1204.162.29) ?
thanks,

How do I know what Android version I'm on ? Why would it say protected ? Any command I can fire from fastboot/adb ?

Hi Thant,
Before trying what you suggested (for manual update) I tried the ICS RUU once again. It went through fine this time not sure why, then I did an OTA upgrade and now I'm on Android 4.0.4 hboot 1.12 (same as before but on 2.17.720.2). There are no more OTA updates available, though HTC india website says there is one available for 3.14.720.24 which is JB version and should automatically update my hboot which I can then hopefully use to update to 4.4 ROM. Do you think what I think is going to work ?
But I can't find the OTA firmware for 3.14.720.24. There was one available here but no more.
There's one here but not sure about the authenticity of this.
I have downloaded the firmware zip you shared but it seems the file is corrupt.
Thanks,
Kunal
I was on GPE and I tried to switch to viperone Rom. Long story short, after flashing the firmware I got on a bootloop and I cant even access that white background page where you can fastboot & Hboot....I can only hold the volume up and power button get to this "Android system recovery" which gives me a few options:
Reboot System Now
Apply from SD card
Apply from Phone storage
Apply from Cache
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
I cant seem to adb or fastboot from my computer while doing this. Help.

well your story is pretty incomplete ... how did you end up with stock recovery ? What firmware did you flash ?
Flashing viper rom won't return you to stock recovery
To get to the normal bootloader from the above screen choose reboot System now and hold Volume Down as soon as the screen goes off
I flashed 1.54.401.5-W_splash.zip
Also your instructions worked! Any idea how I can fix this now?

You can't use TWRP 2.8.4.0 or 2.8.5.0 when your hboot is lower than 3.19.0000
You should run RUU 4.16.401.10 first then only flash TWRP.
No point to flash TWRP at current stage.

Relock bootloader only for S-On

You may need to change your MID to EU one if that RUU zip fails.

Do you really want to convert everything to EU version instead of original Canada version ?
How to change MID to EU in your case :
1. Install TWRP 2.8.1.0 - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8
command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img
2. Boot to recovery
3. Run these command
adb shell
then copy & paste this command
Code:
echo -ne '\x30\x00\x50\x00\x36\x00\x42\x00\x31\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=16384
then
fastboot reboot-bootloader
4. flash that RUU zip after put your device in RUU mode
fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
Wait ... you have a Mac, need to find correct fastboot file for your Mac version

It is easier for Canada version, you just need to flash the TWRP either 2.8.1.0 or 2.8.3.0 then transfer the nandroid backup and restore then do OTA to the latest.
The only thing is do you remember which Canada version is yours ? ROGERS, BELL, TELUS or GLOBAL or SASKT ?
I used to have a custom rom on my phone but I tried to wipe it and im not sure what happened but I don't think there's an OS on there anymore. It gets stuck on the HTC white screen. I am able to access fastboot and I have TWRP recovery installed that I'm able to access, but I believe it's an older version. I tried just downloading another rom and flashing it but it still wont boot. I'm not sure what I need to get it working again.

Yes your Firmware is the version-main and its empty, thats crappy.
First download this TWRP Stock Nandroid Backup: https://mega.nz/#!mYxDWApA!JbdLZAhYkz8fas5MpPfOQqGScikCLCmG21KBsjRJKQQ
Then use latest twrp recovery 3.0.2-0: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/twrp-3.0.2-0-m8.img.html and install it.
Here is the Stock Recovery that you need later: https://mega.nz/#!SUATBBbQ!-IUlr_tqnpkYFUM0bedRSRH3w__nCZjEAYls-5zncX4.
Then do this taken from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860.
The basic idea is : fastboot flash recovery NameOfRecovery.img
2. Download TWRP backup - link in post #2 & post #3
3. Download stock recovery - link in post #4
4. Extract the downloaded x.xx.xxx.x_ckpv5.zip on PC
5. Boot to TWRP recovery and make a backup of boot only, this is to see where the backup goes on your device.
6(a). Reboot, connect device to PC then
open Internal Storage - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to internal storage)
open SD Card - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to MicroSD)
6(b). For those with no OS, connect device to PC. In TWRP recovery go to mount, make sure MTP is enabled.
Then you can open Internal Storage - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to internal storage)
7. Transfer the extracted x.xx.xxx.x folder (not x.xx.xxx.x_ckpv5 folder) and its content to the backup path on your device, so it looks like this :
TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./x.xx.xxx.x
8. Reboot to TWRP, wipe your device - in TWRP go to wipe - advance - select dalvik cache, cache, data, system (only these)
9. Restore the transferred backup - make sure all boot, data & system are ticked - swipe to restore
10. In reboot menu select bootloader (when TWRP asks whether you want to root your device, select do not install)
11. fastboot flash stock recovery that you downloaded - command fastboot flash recovery x.xxx.xx.x_recovery.img
12. reboot - check for OTA, download, install
13. you may have multiple OTA when your device currently on a lower version
14. done
If you want to flash TWRP again, use the latest TWRP after last OTA
NOTE : There is no need to relock bootloader when doing the nandroid way to revert to stock and do OTA.

You won't be able to run current ROMs because your firmware is too low version.
What you can do is run the latest RUU to get back to stock at Marshmallow firmware then reinstall TWRP to install any custom ROM that you like
1. You need these drivers - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926362&postcount=4
2. You need to relock bootloader because your device is S-On, use command
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
3. You need to install htc signed 6.20.531.5 firmware
Download :
https://mega.nz/#!yIhBTRKJ!5rZldUEzCaFqYUhomn4mO_IgA_-nW6-gV9HX5LCzT5Y
run commands
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip fw_6.20.531.5.zip
you'll see error : FAILED
repeat fastboot flash zip fw_6.20.531.5.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
4. You need to install the latest 6.20.531.5 RUU
Download : http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-t-mobile/news/
right click the RUU.exe and select run as administrator, follow the instructions - agree/accept, next,next,update,blablabla until it finish.
Now you'll have a out of the box state device.
You can unlock the bootloader again with the unlock_code.bin
Re install TWRP - use the latest TWRP 3.0.2-0
You can install any custom ROM that you like.
All the above procedure require you to put the device on bootloader/fastboot mode and connect to PC.
The above procedure will wipe everything in your device including internal storage data/files (if you want to backup first, install TWRP 2.8.1.0 and in recovery you can enable MTP after connect to PC to copy out files from Internal storage)
All these require you to have a Windows PC with USB2.0

Hboot 3.16 means OP is on 1.xx firmware.
Which also means the nandroid and stock recovery you suggested are off by 3 versions (4.xx). Are you guessing at the version number?
ckpv5 has the best route. RUU will update the firmware, and get the phone back up and running.

Download : http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-t-mobile/news/
right click the RUU.exe and select run as administrator, follow the instructions - agree/accept, next,next,update,blablabla until it finish.
Now you'll have a out of the box state device.
You can unlock the bootloader again with the unlock_code.bin
Re install TWRP - use the latest TWRP 3.0.2-0
You can install any custom ROM that you like.
All the above procedure require you to put the device on bootloader/fastboot mode and connect to PC.
The above procedure will wipe everything in your device including internal storage data/files (if you want to backup first, install TWRP 2.8.1.0 and in recovery you can enable MTP after connect to PC to copy out files from Internal storage)
All these require you to have a Windows PC with USB2.0

Thanks for this information. I had tried to revert back to stock using that exact RUU from the HTC website but it would keep failing and I didn't know why. Using the stock firmware steps you included got it work. I appreciate the help.

If you had posted the RUU failure symptoms (Error number and message, if there was one; specific behavior and results, etc.) we could have helped there (and still be happy to, if you are at all curious about getting RUU to work). But it looks like you sorted it without RUU, anyway.

Restoring by RUU versus nandroid are two completely different things, and you should be careful not to confuse the two:
RUU re-writes all partitions, including firmware, so there is no chance of a mismatch between firmware and ROM. Therefore, you don't need to match the RUU version to firmware, as long as the RUU is equal or greater number than the current firmware on the phone (no "downgrading" with s-on). And with s-off, this requirement is removed entirely, so you can run any version RUU that matches your CID, MID.
Restoring by nandroid is a completely different animal. Nandroid just contains the ROM and kernel. It needs to match the firmware on the phone, otherwise it won't work properly.

I understand his post differently .. he managed to run RUU after firmware is flashed, a step his missed before (a needed step to run a MM RUU on lower firmware, but never told earlier).

Now I understand. Its confusing, since the 2 methods (both of which have you to credit) to return to stock are both referenced in this thread (another user references the nandroid method); and folks often use the term "firmware" incorrectly to refer to the ROM.
It also means that the user did not follow your instructions in Post #5 in the proper sequence. So RUU failing was inevitable, and easily avoidable; if they had followed your instructions in the proper order.
