[Q] Restoring nandroid backup

Hi all,
I was on stock 1.26 then unlocked rooted and installed CWM.
I made a backup with cwm, and then installed CM9. I'm going to return my One X and want to restore the backup. My question now is, do I need and boot.img first before I can restore my backup? During the backup process CWM said 'backing up boot image..' So will it restore it as well?
Thanks in advance....

No just restore your backup, flash stock recovery and then re-lock bootloader.

Help (if anyone can)
Hi, noob here (registration wise) been lurking for a year of so now.
First up I want to say I am not totally new to everything, I have rooted, flashed all sorts of roms etc on other models but my issue is with returning to stock on an HTC One X. I am hoping either someone can help me or at least tell me no one can at the moment.
I have done a number of searches and tried various things none of which have worked I am currently romless (no os installed when checked last on twrp) however since then I have also tried flashing a rom.zip so no longer have twrp at the moment but hopefully can still install it as I can get into fastboot.
My device is on Voda UK so currently it doesnt have an ruu that I can find the only thing I found was this a 3.14.161.27 rom zip which I tried flashing but while it flashed it just stays on the htc screen (it seems quite small and didnt have a system image in so wasnt sure if it was even complete)
My question is can I do anything with a nandroid backup if I can find one to get a uk stock even if its not Vodafone (or does it have to be Voda) if so can anyone point me to a dl? if not can anyone suggest anything to try or am I going to have to try and flash a custom rom again and not be on stock until a ruu is made if one is.
Thanks in advance for any guidance

edit : read the wrong post.....why do people bump posts from freakin MAY 2012 !!!
Edit : read your post ! Give me your main version number
Fastboot getvar version-main
In the mean time flash this recovery

Rename it to recovery.zip and flash it

Hi,
Version-main is 3.14.161.27 (that zip i tried earlier was meant to be the latest files) cid is vodap001

Oke so the zip is a nandroid backup ? Of so, you need to unpack it !
Check here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
It has your nandroid backup, in the OP you also get a description where to put it on the sdcard !
With the recovery i sent you, you can mount the sdcard as a mass storage device and copy it over

so does it not matter that the version number of a nandroid backup is lower than my version main? (sorry for the question this nandroid backups are the one part of this side of thing I am not familiar with)

No that's not the issue, but the thread has your exact main version nandroid !

ok thanks I just looked at the initial post and saw vodap001 was lower than my version (hence why my question) but then searched the thread and saw the vodap102 can be used on mine and that is the same version.

Yes it should be compatible......but you can also restore a lower matching version and restore the stock recovery afterwards and update to JB again !
If you want to be 100% sure it works , go for option 2 .... Restore the lower one and update again

Need RRU for H3G_001, HTC One X., 3.14.771.34

Hey there,
I am looking for the RRU for my HTC ONE x. The software version is 3.14.771.34.
I am with network three in the UK. So I cant use the european RRU.
I was hoping someone could help me out by sharing it with us.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards.

i think i did the same thing - having waited months for 3 uk to release jb update i reverted my phone back to stock ics ruu (downloaded from xda) and updated to jb via 3 uk ota, then after getting 1.39 hboot i unlocked and flashed renovate rom in such a hurry forgot to take a backup!
wouldn't worry though as we're not likely to see anothe hboot update before dev for the phone stops! just make sure you have a cwm backup of a working version of your phone and all will be good.. unless i've got the wrong end of the stick

Don't worry ? I would worry if i where you, im kinda shocked you say things like this. What about a hardware defect and you want to send it in for warranty.....ever considered that !
Always make sure you can go back to stock !
And about the hboot update.....you never know, its HTC !

I was also so frustrated with three and the update fiasco, I forget to make a backup. :banghead: I don't think the one x will be getting any further updates anyways.

First flash a new recovery. The one you have does not support ums ! You get a lunfile error when you try to mount the sdcard.

Flash this one and mount the sdcard in the new recovery. Then copy a new rom and continue to install it with all required steps

in fastboot type fastboot getvar all and delete serial number and imei, post your result here, and someone with more knowledge will give you link to ruu which will return your phone to stock rom/kernel/recovery ,when you download ruu you will just need tu type in fastboot fastboot oem lock and run ruu with admin rights.

Do this :
Restore a 3.20.401 nand and flash back the 3.20 stock recovery. Then ota up again via official ota. AFTER you did the ota you can relock the bootloader.
The 3.20 nand does not have be your cid. Just pick one !

Man just download other nand with 4.18.401.2 base have working now I checked with sure have one working no need to to search only for your CID the base is important

Yes thant but he wants to relock the bootloader. Because he wants to sell it. Relocking on a different cids nand is not possible !
So he needs 1 lower nand and do at least 1 ota to pull the cid right !

This is something new for me why it is not possible to relock the bootloader you have the same base you don't backup CID or HBOOT you backup system and data. But if it is true I will know for future. Thanks Mr Hofs

When he restores a different cids nand and relocks the bootloader the phone boots only to the bootloader with a warning.
But after 1 official update with an unlocked bootloader the cid will be correct and the bootloader can be relocked.

as you have mention above the link of root.zip,its of HTC One XL(non-tegra device)
if you have htc one xl then you are in wrong place..

He has the quad-core. The XL variant has no 1.73 hboot and 4.19.720 software number. So he is in the right place
Easiest way now is to restore the nandroid backup you probably didn't make before messing around with the superuser.zip !

The 3.14 ain't gonna help you as the touchscreen won't work ! You need a nand that matches your main.

You need to flash the boot.img via fastboot, make a full wipe in the recovery and install the CM.zip and the appropriate GAPPS......

Well you need a stock nandroid backup that has the same main version number 4.19.720 and restore it. As long as you don't have that you can't go back to stock. But there are custom roms based on pure stock looks. You can install that too.

You can't install anything like that via fastboot if phone is locked...you need to be unlocked and for the latest cm roms like cm 11 that recovery is too old... He can unlock too, flash a recovery make a nandroid backup without flashing another Rom and there is your backup

i have flashed the android revolution hd rom. this rom is the perfect one, just the same as htc stock rom.you guys were really helpful.i would like to know many things about kernel and kernel flasher. what kernels actually does? i tried search the forum but couldn't find a simple post about it.
i like using android, and i wanna know most of it if i can.......thanks

Simple explanation, the kernel and hboot function sort of as a bios of a pc. It interacts with the software.
A kernel flasher....you don't need that if you flash the boot.img (kernel) straight from fastboot. The flasher does the same.

How to install official Rom?

Hello,
I have buyed Htc One X Vodaphone/Sfr operator, French.
Can i S-off it to change CID VODAP203 ?
I want to install an official HTC Rom.
Someone can tell me how to do ?
Thanks

No s-off only paying for that and only in England or Russia...you can take a nandroid backup for your cid/mainversion ...the nandroid collection thread should be in general or android development section...please go there, search for the thread, it should be on first page and take the one you need for your phone...it's also easy to restore! Enough threads/guides for that in general

Yes you can. You must download the nand backup from that thread, unpack it and put it on the sdcard. Flash the recovery.img and boot.img from the nand backup and make a full wipe in the recovery and restore the backup.
