[Q] Reflashing to stock / RUU

Hi Folks,
Having some serious issues with my HTC One X
Upon recieving the device I left it on stock for a couple days and then flashed to ARHD 5.2 by unlocking the bootloader via HTCDev and flashed the rom, allwas awesome.. I have now since seen that yellow tea marks are appearing on one side of the screen, so I would like to return the handset to a stock state so that I may return under warranty.
Here is what I did:
Relocked the boot loader
Flashed stock recovery
This resulted in a security error and the phone refused to boot into anything but the boot loader...
almost identical to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649737
I have now solved this boot issue by reflashing the latest custom recovery, and the phone now boots into a nandroid backup that I have restored of the stock ROM.
I have tried to use several RUU's and they all halt after the reboot into bootloader phase (where it erases user data, writes the rom and then does something with signatures)...and the handset itself just stays on a black screen with a HTC logo and there are no progress bars or indication of things happening.. until the RUU errors with 155 (unknown error)
After looking at several threads I have become stuck and would really appreciate some advice
Here are the current details of my phone:
Sim free UK handset
HBOOT-0.94.0000
Radio-1.1204.104.14
CID - I have tried to gather this via fastboot, but it comes up as NONE
(also tried getprop ro.cid via the adb shell but this just errors)
Not sure if it makes any difference but I have also tried the HTC One X AIO Kit.. but any commands it sends error with indications that It cannot locate a device
Please please help

Where did you get the unit from originally? Was it branded?
This is why you should get the RUU BEFORE flahsing a new ROM

It was purchased from phones4u online.. the phone came unbranded, and is on a vodafone contract.
I am sorry about the RUU.. I wasnt aware it was something you had to acquire first..
You don't HAVE to get it first, it just means you don't have to panic about which one to use!!!
If it's unbranded then 1.29.401.7 or 1.29.401.11 will do the job (I'd go for .11)
Relock the bootloader and run the RUU when in fastboot and you should be good to go!

Thanks mate.. just waiting on the download slots and Ill grab it
Get it here, MUCH quicker
http://www.geeks0.com/downloads/mob...04.105.14_release_260491_signed_c9d22.exe.zip
RUU is in the ZIP file. No idea why it's been changed to lower case but it's the one I used and I maxed out my 8Mbps connection getting it

Spot on mate, I relocked the bootloader and the status reads "*** RELOCKED ***"
The RUU also ran perfectly, thanks for that
Would I just flash a stock recovery to restore the bootloader now? (so that it doesnt say RELOCKED)
I want to ensure that the phone is in the exact shape it needs to be before sending back.
Thanks again
It'll always say relocked - you can't do anything about that...
Ah thats a shame, should be a doorstep swap for a replacement handset anyways so thats probably no issue.
Thanks again mate, you have saved my bacon
-Run your RUU and wait for a complete load.
-go to windows>run and write: %temp%. Find a folder that contains a file called: rom.zip. Get the boot_signed.img and recovery_signed.img.
-flash boot_signed.img and recovery_signed.img.
-fastboot erase cache
-fastboot oem lock
-Do a factory reset with the new recovery.
-Now run your RUU and everything gonna be ok

OP has already got it done, just asked if you could change the bootloader to say 'LOCKED' as it does out the box as opposed to 'RELOCKED'
RUU
So I have kind of a problem, I wanted to unlock my bootloader, only HTCDEV servers are a couples of days now overloaded.
So I can't get the unlock code bin.
I need to use my phone and it won't start normally because new firmare was flashed in RUU mode with JBWFTOOL.
So I want to flash a stock RUU. Only my main version is 3.14.401.41.
My phone was repaired by HTC and I got it back LOCKED and well.
Can I flash a other version RUU or do I have to wait for HTCDEV becoming normal again.
HOX E11 Europe.
H.BOOT 1.39
3.14.401.41
I am not doomed right?
Are you sure.....you don't have 3.14.401.31 as a software number ?
Try this one
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe
Put the phone in the bootloader/fastboot usb mode and right click the ruu.exe and select
Run as adminstrator

HELPPP!!! no OS and scary msg "this bulid is for development process only..."

HELPPP!!! no OS and scary msg "this bulid is for development process only..."
Something went wrong which I am not gonna explain too much.
Now My phone doesn't have an OS.
I have RELOCKED Bootloader,
I have NO CWM installed. Cannot access with some line when booting "this bulid is for development process only..."
I don't have any rom in the SDCARD.
I can boot into boot loader, I can see fastboot USB.
is there anyway i can flash new rom?
currently im downloading second RUU cause the first one is wrong, but im afraid of the batt went out and wont ever start again...
I feel for you
Can't advise much I'm afraid, but try this thread - should be something in there that will help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609190
Oh, and whatever you are not going to explain too much, don't do it again
Yeah don't leave it on. The RUU will cancel out if you don't have at least 30% battery. The only way to recover is to either send the phone into HTC for repair or disassemble to charge the battery manually (if it drops below 30%)
but why you can't charge it sorry? (sorry i'm a king of noob here )

Oh that's true. If you can get into HBOOT then theoretically it'll charge when off. I was thinking it was totally fubarred.
Option 1:
Just unlock it again and it will boot into system.
Option 2:
If you want to have stock rom then leave it relocked
run RUU.....exe grab rom.zip
go in fastboot usb mode
run fastboot oem rebootRUU wait bit till it connects to your computer then run fastboot flash zip rom.zip.
headache.
just got it working from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609190) -thanks anyway gonzo99, i also found that link through googling and now im unlocked again. below is the line that helps me.
If you re-locked the bootloader
Unlock with the same Unlock_code.bin file provided by HTC and follow this link: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unl...ctions/page-4/
one question, the internet here is very slow, how do i determine which RUU should i use?
It should be the one matching the version you had on your phone originally, e.g. if you had 1.26.401.1 out the box any RUU with x.xx.401.x is suitable

Thanks for your fast response EddyOS, can i just run the RUU without the command line, i mean just go through the installation process?
RUUs are Windows EXE applications, just you just run them in Windows
You need a re-locked bootloader to use them, though, and you need to be connected to the PC in fastboot mode for them to work

[solved] relocked & security warning [solved]

Guys,
I urgently need assistance, I really need to have my mobile working very soon!
Heres my issue!
BOOTLOADER IS RELOCKED
and every command I run, I get the following ..
Sending Unlock_code.bin = FAILED DATA TO LARGE
trying to reinstall clockwork
Sending BOOT , then it says FAILED REMOTE not allowed
I am absolutely stuck in the bootloader loop with no recovery or any .IMG working.
Yes I have searched high and low to help me out all day literally all day and it's been stressing me out alot!
Please help!!
Kind regards
SOLVED MY PROBLEM AND MANY OTHERS MIGHT GET HELP FROM THIS.
First of all if you are having the issue I have please follow the next steps.
If you notice when you are in the Bootloader it will say RELOCKED ** SECURITY WARNING ** if so
Run this bat file with the cable connected until the ** SECURITY WARNING DISAPPEARS ** - http://www.speedyshare.com/b3WsH/Fas...y-recharge.bat
It should disappear after one reboot of charging when it does remove the cable and close the BAT file
Reconnect the cable and open a fastboot cmd window and run the "" fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin "" this will then allow write access and you should be able to use your phone again! my CM10 rom is still working and etc
Hope this helps for other people, please message me if i wasn't clear enough in above.

I have tried the RUU but it comes with the 140 ERROR
I am really screwing right now, last time I try and root something obviously not meant for me!
Cheers guys
usually when you have error 140 is because you have wrong hboot version (you have to be lower or the same than ruu),
watch in bootloader what hboot do you have and then download ruu from here http://htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor
check if you have a branded phone or not, and which region (europe, asia...) and download the right one then try again

Hey, sorry to bring this up again, but I did what the OP said. I unlocked the the bootloader again, and got rid of the security warning, but I still cannot get past the "htc quietly brilliant" screen. Factory reseting won't work, and recovery will just reboot the device only to get it stuck the way I mentioned before. Any help, anyone?

I do not know my phone is rooted or not. But i think it is not rooted. I am also helpless how to install RUU. Can you show me a guide or tutorial to how to root and install RUU. Your help is much appreciated. It is more than obvious that i am ignorant.
Do you boot into recovery or the boot menu?

Hi,
Have you had the phone from new? If so it's definitely not rooted - you would know, if this is the case then I would presume your phone is SIM free too.
U would suggest downloading HTC Sync while your phone us not connected to get the drivers your phone needs the search on thus site for mini-ask.
Once you have them connect your phone to your PC and boot it by holding power and volume down buttons once in bootloader, select the fastboot option.
When fastboot usb is displayed open from pc a CMD prompt and type "fastboot Getvar all" you should see mire information about your phone. Look for bootloader number and compare thus to android roms on www.shipped-roms.com
Get a WWE RRU If this is appropriate to you and open the exe while following insructions.
Lets hope that us straight forward for you.
Apologies for frankness I am typing thus from my phone.

Now the site you suggested lists a lot of ROM for desire HD. I am not sure which one is for this mobile. Thanks
Hi... I forgot to mention that the cmd window current directory must be the same one you run the cmd from...
Did you see other bootloader output like cid, s/n and imei? If so you have it working.
I would try some Roms that contain WWE in the title.

Though it should be as easy as booting the phone into fastboot and then connecting the phone to the computer - you should see Fastboot USB, when this is displayed it should just be a matter of running the RUU file and following the instructions. The battery should be charged over 30% otherwise you will get an error, stating so.
from there it is just a case of flashing the right one for your phone.
If using stock rom just flash Your Own RUU via Fastboot. if not;you are using a custom rom. Open that zip file and take out the boot.img file. And you need to do this via CMD
fastboot flash boot boot.img
this code will flash your kernel and fix the problem.
ps: I dont need to say that you need adb,fastboot files eh ?

Ruu's are carrier or region specific. You need to flash the ruu for your device

Possibly bricked my m8?

I had a HTC M8 with HTC developers edition installed 4.12
I tried to flash install SuperSU and it rebooted.. now the phone is completely unresponsive
no HTC logo,can't turn it off, can't turn it on.
I'm really hoping someone can help me recover my phone?
By the way, I am basically a noob with Androids.
update
if i hold the power button down + volume up / down
it will reboot with HTC logo , powered by android.
it then goes to a blank screen.
delete
Have you done a backup previous to rooting it, and with SU version did you use?
If you've got a backup you could try holding Vol+ and power as long until the screen goes dark, then in this exact moment switch to holding Vol- and hold it until the bookcases comes up.
Now you can go to recovery and restore the backup. If you have accomplished that use a cmd and enter the fastboot getvar all command and post it here, without IMEI and Serial No. Maybe one can find a RUU to flash back to Stock.

hi guys, thanks for your replies.
I spent all day googling, trying to figure out how to fix it and haven't been successful yet. I'll tell you what I did.
If I tried to hold down the volume buttons and power buttons, it would restart the phone, the HTC logo would appear and then the screen would go blank, so
I installed ADB and Fastboot on my computer, and I was able to type
ADB reboot-bootloader and that brought up the Fastboot / HBoot menu
I then flashed TWRP to the phone, and tried to install a new version of the Developers Edition from HTC using their RUU (from their website) but it failed.
Last ditch effort, was trying to flash SkyDragon but there was not enough space on my phone so it failed with a 'Not enough Space' error.
I then read some instructions that mentioned deleting the cache, so I did this, but now, when I connect my phone to ADB, it always says OFFLINE and I can't connect to fastboot or ADB.
I am really hoping I haven't made it even worse.

Hi,
Unfortunately I didn't make any backups, mainly because I use auto-sync to the cloud.
I followed your instructions and got to the recovery menu
It says:
** Software status: Modified **
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.19.0.0000
Radio-1.25.214500021.0GG
OpenDSP-V48.2.2.000564-M8974_FO.1211
OS-4.16.401.10
emmc-boot 2048mb
Ok will check if there is a RUU to be found tomorrow morning and report back what to do after it.

Hold both power button + volume up, when the screen turn blank, release both button and hold & press volume down button. This will take you to hboot.
Select recovery then try again to install SuperSU 2.65 or 2.64 (don't use any other version)
When done, reboot but when TWRP offer to install root, don't install.. just reboot
and see how it goes.
If still unsuccessful, relock bootloader and install the Dev Ed RUU - http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/

Just forget it ... your post #1 made me believe that you have a Dev Edition but your other post show you have a EU device.
I already deleted my previous post, so ignore it .. won't work for you.
Just wait for the other guy's help
Or ... seeing you're not sure how to use a RUU based on your above post, I suggest that you restore a 4.16.401.10 stock non-rooted backup and its matching recovery (no need to relock bootloader) then do OTA to 4.16.401.13
You can get all the files and How-To in my thread linked in my signature
Then you can install any custom Dev ED Marshmallow ROM that available in Development section if you want to, no need to root as they are pre-rooted.
Or you can root the stock ROM with no problem with the root offer in TWRP.

So here we go. You can download the RUU here here. It's an executable for Windows PC. Start your M8 into bootloader, connect it to your PC and execute the file I posted in my link. This will help you to get back to a full stock International M8.

Thank you.
I booted my M8 into Bootloader and then ran the file, unfortunately, I get an error:
ERROR 155 Unknown Error
When I follow the on screen instructions from the RUU, which tells me to remove the USB, the Bootloader screen appears
on my phone and it says 'Security Fail'
RUU
Is this because I modified by phone after I bought it?
It's an EU phone from Romania, but I later went to the HTC site and unlocked it and installed the Developers edition onto it, at least I thought I did.
Have you relocked your bootloader prior to executing the file? Has to be done for a RUU to work on an M8. When in bootloader start a CMD on your PC and navigate to your adb folder. Then type "fastboot oem lock" and right away "fastboot reboot bootloader" to verify that it says relocked at the top. If so execute the RUU once more.
BTW don't remove it from USB while flashing until flash has been completed otherwise the flash is going to fail.

help bricked m8
i bricked my m8 while tring to flash marshmallow in it with twrp now its stuck in the swiring screen ...i left it there till it died..the real issue is that my voulme down isnt working..is there anyway i can enter recovery?
Only if the M8 ist recognized by adb and fully booted, as then you could reboot to recovery by "adb reboot recovery".
But as I understood you are now on stock again by RUU aren't you!?
It's a risk to try to flash Custom Recovery and ROM, without been able to boot to bootloader by using hardware buttons, as if you get stuck again there won't be an easy way out of it.

He can't be stock by RUU because a RUU is not flashed via TWRP. And he never mentioned to try to flash a custom recovery, he's already on TWRP. And an issue with the volume rocker is always a problem, on a perfectly stock device or a custom modded one.....issue stays the same

I assumed he followed my advice to download and flash the linked WWE RUU when he stated that all is working fine again. Sorry I've been confused for a moment and forgot there are to participants having the same problem.

Try the ADB command or get the volume button fixed. That's about it what you can do.
