[Q] Looking for Endeavour 1.29.206.11 please

I hope that this post is in the correct forum section - apologies if not and apologies if there is already a thread on this subject (I did try searching but nothing that provided a link to a RUU).
Here's what I've done:
Flashed a custom ROM to my UK O2 HTC One X
Then tried to restore it to stock without taking a Clockwork recovery backup (deleted all caches and storage in the process)
Tried to flash with stock RUU found online (1.26.206.2) but RUU software throws an error as the exisiting f/w is 1.29.206.11 and this is what it is expecting
I can access the HOX through fastboot to lock and unlock the device but I cannot see the "SD card" to copy over a custom ROM to at least get some life into the thing (it just sits at the white HTC loading screen until the battery dies).
Ideally I want to return the thing to stock (if anyone has a O2 UK 1.29.206.11 RUU) but failing that is there anyway to get a custom ROM on there (for installation with CWM) without my PC (Windows 7 or Mac available) seeing the HOX storage?
Thanks for reading and any help you can pass on.

if you can get into to CWM there is an option to mount sd in there somewhere, if you can't get into it maybe try re-flashing it

Thanks for the reply - I tried that but CWM returns an error when trying to mount the SD card.

DO you mean extracting the 2 img files from the RUU zip and running from fastboot command prompt? If so, the second img file returns a [0000006] error.

Ok this is bad this RUU is not full must be 500-600 Mb= Surch from google to download the RUU 2.17.206.2 for HTC one X and install this in Android RUU files store is not the full. The case is you have 1.29.206.11 witch is newer vrom 1.26.206.2 and if you try to install it you will receive error wrong RUU.
EDIT: I think you will not find this RUU surch here in xda for nandroid backup for 1.29.206.11 and restor it and dont forget to restor the stock recovery too.

Thanks for your help, appreciate it!
I've got the RUU you suggested from HERE
Now to apply this RUU all I need to do is run the file (exe) and follow the bouncing ball?
Then once flashed (back to stock), to install a custom recovery (so I can do a nandroid) is unlock the bootloader, install the recovery, and take the nandroid backup. To get the OTA Update(s), I'll need to relock the bootloader, do the automated system updater, redo nandroid, then onto a custom recovery once HBOOT has been updated via the OTA process?
EDIT: Take a nandroid backup first of course

NO You can't receive the OTA via custom recovery you need ctock recovery and stock rom unrooted
1) Lock your bootloader
2) Run the RUU
3) Apllay all update to 4.x.206.x 4.2.2 JB
4) Unlock your Bootloader
5) Install Philz custom recovery
6) Do a Nandroid Backup on 4.2.2.JB . Save on secure plase it is better to have 2 copies on nandroid on different place
7) If you wont Install custom rom or root the stock it is your decision and don't forget to flash the boot.img if you install custom rom

[Q] Multiple problems, possibly related - help?

Ok, as usual, I don't even know how to phrase my question....
Two major problems: process.gapps crashing all the time (asked for help about this, was sorted out at the time, now is back).
MMS won't work and Messages crash when I try to send them. I initially noted that SuperSU was blocking something like "system_server" but the permission has now been granted. It also asked me to uninstall other SU apps, which I allowed.
The phone is rooted, and running 4.1.1. from O2 UK. I think that the update from 4.0 to 4.1 wasn't trouble free because that's where all these random errors started. Maybe I should revert to ICS and let it upgrade again?

Meanwhile, seems I've managed to fix the MMS problem. I have two APNs for MMS and Internet. Internet was working fine but didn't have some parameters that the other APN apparently needs. Now that are both with the same values, it works fine and Messages hasn't crashed yet...
Process.gapps still plays its tricks though...

Those fastboot commands are typed from the command prompt that you open inside the fastboot folder.
That is used for flashing kernels and recoverys

If you are rooted, than you have ,,super user" or "super su" app, enter app, and look around, you''ll find unroot (or something like that) press button, and i think that that's it, for bootloader you must use fastboot, tupe command i think that tha command is fastboot oem relock.
Also you can find nandroid backup for your cid.
Forgot, on what android version are you ? 4.1.1 or 4.2.2 ?
If you are on 4.1.1 use method with ruu.
And last i think you can't but someone else will tell you, in fastboot tupe fastboot getvar all, copy everything except imei and serial number, so someone can tell you what ruu can you use.
Hope i helped.

He doesn't need to unroot the custom rom because he can't update with that anyway. And root is no issue to update at all.
And dont relock !!! You can't restore a nand with a relocked bootloader

I'm sorry but that's all I need to do to get software updates for my phone??? Sorry.I'm.still a noob in this

You have to download android sdk bundle (google) and go the platform tools folder, open a command prompt in that folder. Hold shift and click the right mouse button and select : open command window here. Then put the phone in the bootloader and press fastboot once. You see if all is correct in red text : fastboot usb.
Then enter the command in the command window on the pc and tell us what comes out

htc one m8 tmobile software update problem

Guys, my htc one m8 tmobile op6b130 ( bootloader looked, s-off) current software 4.16.1540.8. ... It does not install the update and says that i must revert back to original system software because it is modified version.
so please guide me how to get it done.. how do i install the update. Thanks

What do you mean by software number (where are you reading the nubmer)? Best thing to go by, is the OS number listed on the bootloader screen.
Also, an OTA will fail if the phone is rooted, custom ROM, or even unrooted (needs to be a never rooted stock ROM).
If you know how, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Otherwise, did you change the CID or MID (and know what they currently are)?

Bootloader screen is like
Software status official
***locked*** S -off
cid -11111111
OS 4.16.1540.8
The model written at rear bottom of my htc is Op6b130 .
i get update with a number 4.17.1540.9 which does not install.
Thats the real confusion with me .. so please tell me the way how do i install the next updates.

The phone is heavily modified. It has some point been rooted, SuperCID (11111111) and had the US Developers Edition (4.16.1540.8) firmware and/or RUU applied.
Do you know the history of these mods; did you do them, or did someone else mod the phone?
Can't say for certain, unless I know more details. But the easiest way to update to the latest (MM) version may be to flash 6.12.1540.4 firmware, then flash the 6.12.1540.4 RUU.

I did not do anything like that. I got my htc in this form.
so if MM update is better. Can you please tell me the procedure of installing firmware and ruu file as you said. I would be very grateful to you for this.

Would this procedure be right for me?

Yes, that would actually work, and describes what I was talking about. Nice work finding it yourself!
I'm not sure whether you need to change the MID or not. CID is fine to run the 6.12.1540.4 firmware and RUU. And SuperCID will actually bypass the MID in some situations (but not all). Plus, with the info given so far, I can't tell what the current MID is (it may already have been changed).
If you do need to change the MID, you will also need root. So that would be more steps.
So my advice is to first skip the steps of changing CID and MID. Just go to the steps of flashing the 6.12.1540.4 firmware and RUU. If the firmware fails due to wrong MID, it will tell you that via an error message; and we can tackle that issue if it comes up. But if it works on the current MID, then we've saved some steps.
Best (most accurate) way to determine the current MID, is to do command: fastboot getvar all
Then post the output (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
This will also give us a lot more useful info on the device.
You'll need to use fastboot anyway (for the guide you linked), if you don't already know how. So you may as well figure it out now. The command should also work with the htc fastboot given in the thread you linked, but would be: htc_fastboot getvar all

Good to go with 6.12.1540.4 flashing from the guide you linked
Flash the firmware.zip in RUU mode then reboot to bootloader make sure the new os number is 6.12.1540.4 then proceed to flash the RUU.exe
Good luck

do I need to change Cid & Mid?
when i typed adb.exe shell .. it gave me error that no device is there .
although it showed me my serial number when typed adb devices. it ran fine.
but what's the problem with adb.exe shell?

secondly, is it ok to jump from 4.16.1540.8 to directly 6.12.1540.4?

no need to change anything you have supercid and the right mid,it will pass the check
it's "adb shell" not "adb.exe shell"

You need to use the htc_fastboot to flash the RUU, as indicated in the guide you linked (and required files downloaded from there as well). The "generic" Android fastboot can't handle files that big.
Although, you should drop the ".exe" (indicated in the guide) from all the fastboot commands. I've never seen ".exe" included on fastboot and adb commands, and it will probably cause you an error like it did when flashing firmware. So the command should be:
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip rom.zip

Yes, that is fine. Which is why I told you to do it. If anything else needed to be done, I would have indicated that.
RUU doesn't need to be installed in sequence, meaning you can skip a version(s). RUU is different from OTA, as OTA typically does need to be installed in sequence.
With s-off, you can even go backwards with RUU. Which is also something you can't do with OTA.

while flashing firmware , it first said 'failed' and then automatically came with 'finished and time' .
When i went to ruu .. i first used htc_command .. but it said that ' this command is not in internal and external blaa blaa'. So i went without htc_ and got stuck and waited about half hour for that. Then , knowing nothing i did factory reset with wipe cache to restore my phone back to 4.16.1540.8.
Are there any pre-requisites that phone shold be unlocked and rooted (as i saw some videos on youtube)?
My phone is s-off, bootloader locked and no root access.

If it gave a message about "flush image immediately" this just means you need to flash the firmware again (needing to flash 2 times is normal and expected).
If the firmware installed correctly, you will see OS 6.12.1540.4 on the bootloader screen, and also see 6.12.1540.4 for "version-main" if you do fastboot getvar all.
You must have 6.12.1540.4 firmware properly installed, in order to flash the RUU.

You are getting that message, since you are not executing the command from the folder where htc_fastboot.exe is located. After you download htc_fastboot from the thread you linked, open Command Prompt in the folder (Left Shift + Right Mouse Click) and run the commands.
Leaving off the "htc" means you are trying to use the "generic" fastboot tool (fastboot.exe). Which would also confirm the fact you are probably running the command from the wrong folder. Again, using the regular fastboot will never work, since it can't handle the file size of the RUU.

You mean prerequisites for the RUU? If so, saying bootloader unlocked and rooted are prerequisites is false and incorrect. If you saw it on a YouTube, you are confusing RUU with something else.
Bootloader locked is normally (s-on) a requirement for RUU. But since you are s-off, it will run with the bootloader unlocked, locked or relocked.
Root has no effect on RUU. RUU will run, whether the phone is rooted or not.

What exactly are you trying to "restore" or accomplish with this? It's not clear you have even installed anything past 4.16.1540.8, to begin with.

Finally did it successfully!
Thank you everyone for guiding me.

What do you mean by software number (where are you reading the nubmer)? Best thing to go by, is the OS number listed on the bootloader screen.
Also, an OTA will fail if the phone is rooted, custom ROM, or even unrooted (needs to be a never rooted stock ROM).
If you know how, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Otherwise, did you change the CID or MID (and know what they currently are)?

Basically, Sprint (and most US carrier versions of the M8) won't update if not connected to that actual US carrier (Sprint, in your case). Also, you can NOT "modify" the Sprint version to make it another version (such as Euro), and the reason for that is that the Sprint version you will radio brick the device doing this! So don't try it!
You can update using the RUU meant for the Sprint M8 (and only the RUU meant for the Sprint M8, for the reason mentioned above). Whether you need to update or not (by RUU) depends on what it says in the getvar info I asked for above.

need the right ROM and path

just have my One M9 with android marshmallowand iwant to update my ROM from 3.35.617.31 to 4.14.617.6 as they said in Updater but i keep have an error message and insist that my device have unofficial rom need help... ASAP

thank you..

Change your CID to BS_US001 and MID to 0PJA11000 then the ruu will work.
You're S-OFF so it's simple to change, just boot in download mode and use: "fastboot oem writecid BS_US001" and "fastboot oem writemid 0PJA11000"

You just need S-OFF that I saw you have, so boot in download and do the commands.
