[Q] how to return my one X to original roms?

Good evening!
I'm new to this so ill try to be as specific as I can. about a month ago I've bought the One x from a private store here in Israel and i think it was from taiwan or something. anyways, a couple of days ago i started messing with it, rooting it and everything.
I unlocked the bootloader via the htcdev.com, did the whole CMD thing and everything and flashed the android revolution HD rom (thats the name?)
so it was great and everything but it wasnt as complete as the rom my phone came with (I guess its the stock rom) so i tried the RD MIUI rom and it was fine, but still not what i was looking for and so i realized i need to come back to the stock rom, simple and clean.
now after the whole unlocking and rooting and everything, how the hell do i get my stock rom back? i want to lock back my phone, unroot it and put the old rom back on it and im very new to this whole HTC rooting thing, since i was using the galaxy s 1 and 2 before the HTC.
I searched the forum and couldnt find a guide, every post here is just links but no TUT's, as if everyone already knows everything!
anyways, I would really appreciate anybody helping me!
my phone is the international version i guess, bought in israel shipped from some asian country but is unlocked to all carriers and everything, not an AT&T version or anything.

First thing, make sure what is your original software version.
If you're not sure, run this in fastboot mode
go to bootloader
type fastboot getvar version-main
tell us what no. it show
then will be the next step to get the correct RUU for your device

Here is your RUU : http://hoxroms.serveftp.com/RUU_END...Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260743_signed.exe
How to : go to bootloader / fastboot mode
(even though some people may not agree with this, but this will bring no harm and it is noob-proof) do this:
1- flash a stock recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
2- flash a stock boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
3- re-lock bootloader
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
4- run/doubleclick RUU and follow instructions.

Can this be done with terminal emulator also?
If so how?

If you are talking about the Terminal Emulator app, I don't think it can read the version-main as the getprop command will read what is written in the build.prop
But I maybe wrong as I'm not really familiar with Terminal Emulator except some basic command.

So how do we flash this whole thing?

Reboot to bootloader / fastboot mode where you see the word fastboot usb highlighted in red.
And the above files only for 1.29.707.11 software version, it won't work for others.

where this syntax is needed to put? via CMD or ADB?

Do you still have the fastboot folder/files that you downloaded when you unlock your
device ?
In Windows, open cmd prompt, cd to the fastboot folder where you have the fastboot.exe
example:

If you follow the step carefully, there is no phone power up needed. You need to run the RUU in fastboot, directly after step 3.
Put your device in bootloader mode. Press power and hold it, you wll see the three buttons blinks and the device will shutdown. Release the power button, hold the volume button, the device will boot to bootloader/fastboot mode. Connect to your PC and run RUU.

There is no 1.29.720.11 RUU available at the moment. Unless you have a nandroid backup of your stock ROM and you have the OTA files with you, there is no way to return to Stock for 1.29.720.11 currently.

plug the phone in fastboot, you should see fastboot usb in red.
Open a cmd as admin or terminal as root in the pc
type: fastboot oem rebootRUU (you will get a black splash with silver htc)
fastboot flash zip "nameoffile.zip" (no quation marks)
Once it is done (it says OKAY. finished in the CMD session)
fastboot reboot
Make sure that u are in the same folder (in CMD) where the zip file is...This will only be feasible for a RUU...not a rom. It also works for radios and CWM recovery....:good:

It shouldn´t take that long. Make sure that you are using the oem cable. That USB ports are working fine and there´s no other stuff connected to your USB ports.

I too had this boot problem on a bad flash through the Hack Kit
(my fault by the way). From power on it took 20 mins to get to the first white HTC screen . Then a further 10 mins to start normal boot.
Apart from the LONG boot, everything worked perfectly. Using TermEm I could boot into bootloader and recovery. The rom, IceColdSandwich worked perfectly in every respect but the corrupted boot was doing my head in.
Using your tutorial, I managed to flash the correct bootloader and now all is good.
hboot before was 0.85.2007
hboot after is 0.85.0024
Sorry if this is a long post but I think it is worth it. Here is a log of the fastboot process:

I have to say that the timings, because of the LONG boot, are completely wrong, . I was tempted to pull the plug on a number of occasions but I gave myself a talking to and went for a coffee.
The whole process took about 2 hours and I am now the delighted owner of a normal booting DHD.
To anyone who wants to attempt this procedure, the watchword is patience. Whenever you think nothing is happening, DO NOTHING!
The different stages will eventually happen just as laid out as per Glevitan. Good luck with your attempt.
Once again, many thanks.
Edit: Just an afterthought, at one stage Windows had a failed attempt at installing usb drivers that ended up as an 'Unknown Device'. Just ignore it and keep going.

Edit: I just tried again and it worked, nevermind!
Just fyi: if you get an error after flashing the ZIP, just flash it again.

Thanks! This was helpful.

[Q] Idiot With HTC one X stuck in boot loop.

Hello,
I’ve been following guides to root my phone and put a custom ROM onto it. I had no experience in doing this so I thought I would follow an idiots guide and was stupid enough not to back up the original ROM along with not reading up properly on what I was about to do… (yes you can call me names I shall accept it)
The problem I'm having is after putting the custom ROM which was ViperX3.2.0 The phone just stays stuck on the HTC one Tm with beats audio and keeps resetting it self, anyway i can fix it? or have i bricked it.
I'm a complete noobie cause I've been looking around for the past 3 days and still can't find anything (or something I can understand) :angel:
- I've wiped cache, dalvik cache and battery stats
- I go to recovery and click mount sd card nothing happens mount usb storage nothing happens.
- I don't understand next to nothing, need like android for idiots. :good:
- When phones booting up my computer recognises something but has not drivers and fails (But i had drivers and could transfer stuff too and from)
So if you can help i will love you forever
Many Thanks
RIch

I'm going to quote the instructions on the ViperX page. Have you even followed these steps?
Code:
1. Make sure your that your HBOOT is 1.31 or greater
2. Check if you CID is supported, visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376 for updates. Cheers Mike
3. Unlock your bootloader via HTCDev and install a custom recovery.
4. Download the ROM and place it on your virtual SD card.
5. Do a nandroid backup!
6. Extract boot.img from ROM zip and flash it using ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’.
7. Use 'fastboot erase cache' to avoid boot issues.
8. Go into recovery and install the ROM.
9. Please choose fullwipe if you are asked, highly recommended if you go from one rom from another rom.
10. Reboot the device and enjoy!

Did you flash the boot.img file in fastboot? fastboot flash boot boot.img followed by fastboot erase cache

Like I Said I was stupid enough not to follow instruction, where to start. First my Hboot is not 1.31 but 1.12 or somthing. No clue what CID is Trust an idiot like me to do something like this HA.
I never did a nandroid backup, I'm hitting myself for that one quite badly
Apart from that i did everything else HA yes i did do fastboot boot boot.img folowed by somthing to do with cache

Just keep trying 'fastboot flash zip (lalala)' until it works.
Afterwards, you need to re-unlock your bootloader with 'fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin'
then reflash boot.img 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'
then 'fastboot erase cache'
then reflash recovery 'fastboot flash recovery (lalalaa.img)'

Whoopsie, did fastboot flash boot boot.img didn't start up so i thought i would check recovery and earse some caches, theres an error for it to load. (a phone laying down with an exclaimation mark) so i can't do a wipe

Reflash the custom recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recover.img
Fastboot erase cache

Anyway to get the recovery back? so i can try another ROM to see if that could possibly fix the problem, just can't get into recovery D: happy my phone turns on lol however no network or can't connect to wifi
by fashing the boot did nothing but crash it more.
so i had to redo what you taught me, thank you again and i'm back to where i said i was

Many thanks, recovery up and running. now that I know this I'll try to reinstall the ROM.
Are there any reasons why I'm not getting signal or WiFi? along with that from the unlock it seem rather slow,
But I guess it's time for me to experiment, now that i know how to fix it if I mess up

Maybe because of this :
When installing the viper you get a question about the custom kernel ....
Answer with NO !

Just signed up to say thanks Mr Hofs for the help you've posted in this thread in particular but also in many other threads I've been referring to over the last 4 hours or so. I was well on my way to brickage following a screwed up attempt to root my HOX, but thanks to you I'm now up and running again. Admittedly I'm back at square one with a non-rooted handset, but I never would've believed that would be such a happy place to be, plus I feel a tiny bit less of a noob now.
Anyway, apologies for crashing your thread Richlilrich - as you were!

Okay, in fastboot mode, type 'fastboot getvar cidnum' to get your CID number.
then according to that number, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
and download your firmware.zip
then use the following commands:
fastboot oem lock

Hey Guy's,
I know this thread is old and many of you might not see this anymore but I'm sure this is where I need to be.
I have a UK Quad Core HOX and rooted fine a while ago.
I placed Cyanogen on for a while and all was running fine but it doesn't have all the tweaks I'd like so looked around for another ROM.
I came across the ViperROM and thought - Great! Exactly what I wanted, checked the reviews - All good, checked my HBoot etc... All seems fine. Went ahead and installed it through CWM (5.8.4.0) like I have done a thousand times before and went and rewrote the boot.img and got a continuous HTC boot loop. Thought hey no harm no fuss and went back into recovery to restore my most recent back-up only to find that they had all gone - My stock recovery my previous tries at other ROMS and most importantly my most recent Backup!!!!
I followed the steps above over and over again, I can re-lock my HOX, reboot into RUU and flash the 3.16.61.6 firmware (and boot img inside zip) and it still bootloop's over and over....... (I can unlock again too)
I've tried adb pushing Stock and custom ROMS to the SD card which says success in windows cmd but says no files on SDcard.
What am I doing wrong?
P.S hboot details are;
Endeveavoru PVT Ship S-ON RL

Would like to add that I would prefer Viper to stock but stock would help for now

Before going for RUU and stuff, try any other roms.
I'd say do this :
Flash TWRP - Better than CWM anyday.
Go to recovery. Mount USB. Copy Viper (or any other) rom to phone.
Reboot to bootloader.
Flash boot.img.
Fastboot erase cache.
Go to recovery.
Clean install ROM.
Reboot and wait for it. First boot takes pretty long sometimes.

There is no better recovery, a recovery is personal. I'm using CWM now for 2 years....never had a problem with that.....
Now the issue.
How to copy it is in the post above, however before you install the rom you need to make a real good full wipe
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage - format cache, data, system
Then install the rom...and ofcourse flash the boot.img from the rom.zip
The option to mount in CWM is under mounts and storage copy the rom.zip over and unmount.
The way i personally follow is :
Flash the boot.img (fastboot, bootloader mode) then enter the recovery and follow the above....make sure you unplug the usb cable BEFORE installing the rom.zip

HTC One - stuck in bootloader/fastboot and no recovery

As you can see in the picture the phone boots up to this screen. A friend of mine bought an HTC One on ebay and he found out it was rooted/unlocked so he went to put it back to stock and may have bricked the device while doing so.
EDIT: so I am able to use fastboot, but not adb because I can't get into Windows. Flashing the stock Verizon RUU I found still doesn't get me anywhere though.
Is there any hope for this device? Thanks in advance!

You have to select bootloader to get to the recovery option. What kind of computer are you using and whats it running?

Yea I saw that after messing around with it some more. It is Windows 7 x64.
I tried the one at the bottom of the page as I can't find one anywhere else. I also used the commands at the bottom to try and flash it.
http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-zip-downloads/

When you go to device manager on your pc with the phone pluged in and in fastboot mode, does it show android phone or unknown device? Try using these drivers http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/ADB/ADB_Drivers.zip
You need a signed ruu which you can get here http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RUUs/2....2_NV_VZW_3.71_002_release_341019_signed_2.zip
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip file.zip
May fail with flush error do above command again.
fastboot reboot

OK cool I will try that once it downloads. It shows "My HTC" in the device manager. Also with the fastboot devices command it does give me the device ID.
EDIT: That worked! Thanks a lot for the RUU file, as I could not find that anywhere.

Hello. A friend of mine has the same problem. She tried to flash this RUU: "RUU Zip M7_WL_JB_50_VZW_1.10.605.10_decrypted" but the phone doesn't boot. Here is more info about the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2688936
Can she flash the RUU posted here?
This is what the hboot says:
Unlocked
m7_wlv pvt ship s-off rh
cid-11111111
hboot 1.54.0000
radio 1.12.42.0906
opendsp v31.120.274.0617
os 1.10.605.10
Thank you very much.

She can, but since she is s-off, its better to flash the decrypted one. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RUUs/2.10.605.1/PN07IMG_M7_WL_JB_50_VZW_2.10.605.1_DECRYPT.zip

First, thank you very much. She changed the CID to VZW__001. That's not a problem, right?
Does the CID and MID have to be compatible with the RUU? She has this MID: PN0731000.
Downloading this RUU, will report back.
Again, thank you.

Yes the cid and mid need to match the ruu. What you have now are the correct ones. However 11111111 is super cid, which would have also worked.

Hello again. Before we try to flash the RUU, I would like to ask you the steps to do it. This is what we gonna do:
1. Download RUU
2. Rename to "ruu.zip" (Optional)
3. Enter fastboot mode
4. enter "fastboot oem rebootRUU" - You should not see a silver HTC logo on your device.
5. enter "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip" - The first time you execute this command, it only prepares the flash
6. As soon as the flash is done preparing, enter the same exact command again "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip"
7. Now you'll see a little green progress bar on your phone. This does not need to reach 100%. As soon as your command window is finished, you can just "fastboot reboot".
8. You should be set back to fully stock HTC One.
And that's it? Nothing else is needed, right?
EDIT: we flashed the RUU. Now the phone boots always in fastboot. No matter what option we choose, the phone does nothing and goes back to fastboot. On the bottom of hboot there is a new line in red: "Active cmdline overflow! (1073 Bytes)"

Ok try changing the cid back to 11111111 super cid, then run the ruu again and see what happens. Before doing both, use the cmd
fastboot erase cache

Hello. We just did it, and still the same problem. We were reading that some people solved this by doing a downgrade to hboot 1.44. But I don't want to make this problem worse.

You can try it, its worth a shot. Just flash an older ruu. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RUUs/. Dont remember which one goes with 1.44

You can't be more kind. We made a downgrade, and now we can use CWM again. (We did the downgrade before reading your post, so we didn't use an older RUU) Now thinking hwat should be the next step: flashing a ROM (custom or stock, mounting a pendrive) or flashing an older RUU or anything else. Again, dude, you're awesome.

I'm stuck in a similar situation and any help would be appreciated so I don't screw this up. I can get into the bootloader but not into recovery (gets to the first TWRP screen then reboots). Safe mode works fine too.

Didn't work. Got to the TWRP splash screen and back into the bootloop again.

Ok then i would do an ruu. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RUUs/

fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip nameoffile.zip (may fail with flush error, just do the cmd again)
fastboot reboot

Hi,
Similar problem here.
This is my situation:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** LOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***
M7_WLV PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.56.0000
RADIO-1.13.41.0109_2

OS-3.11.605.1
CID: VZW__001
MID: PN0731000
Only fastboot. Can't access to recovey (CWM). Can't access to OS, so no adb.
Every time I try to RUU it gives the "Signature verify fail" message.
So, I tried encrypted ROMs (those at vzw1files. dyndns. org), and I could go a step forward; but the flashing hungs up after giving this messages:
(bootloader) adopting the signature contained in this image...
(bootloader) signature checking...
(bootloader) rom parsing start ...
(bootloader) rom parsing finish ...
(bootloader) zip header checking...
(bootloader) zip info parsing...
(bootloader) Read zipped android_info fail
Thanks in advance, I hope I didn't screw it up.

The problem is nicouy that you are s-on, and on the newest kk firmware. An s-on phone will not allow you to "downgrade" firmware, and we do not yet have the latest ruu available, at least to my knowledge. So your kind of screwed right now untill we get our hands on a kk ruu.

[Q] RUU failed. Now stuck on htc logo. Dead?

Tried to install latest RUU file and failed. Now phone is stuck on htc logo with black screen only when plugged in pc. Also when unplugged, goes to bootload with no options and only shows RUU.
Phone is unlocked and s-off. Had Bootloader installed and now wont show
Need help ASAP
Thanks

are you s-off ? is your phone a GSM M8 ?

Did you try the other method, just renaming the RUU to 0p6bimg.zip (<a 0 (Zero) not a capital o (O), naturally...)
What error do you get when the flashing of the RUU fails?
Like mentioned by clsA said, adb devices won't work in fastboot mode, it should be "fastboot devices" to check if it's connected

try and unplug the phone from the pc and hold volume up + power for 10 seconds
when the phone reboots try the ruu again .. if the bootloader says RUU in red don't do the fastboot oem rebootRUU command just go straight to flashing
The RUU flashes very slow are you waiting long enough ?

you have the file renamed just copy it to your Ext - sdcard and let the bootloader flash it
don't forget to delete or rename it on the sdcard before you reboot again or it will flash it again

Yeah this pretty much tells me you didn't properly read the guide to converting your device to GPE. When I mentioned "the 0p6bimg.zip" method I kind of figured you'd know to place it on SD Card and reboot into bootloader so that the bootloader can pick up the .zip file and flash it from there. Flashing in from RUU sort of gave it away there
Method 1
No computer required. Everything else still required. s-off, super CID/gpe CID etc..
1. Rename the RUU zip file 0p6bimg.zip (if your hboot is looking for a different name then rename it to whatever it's looking for)
2. Place the zip on your external SD card
3. Power off your phone
4. Boot into Hboot (hold down vol down as you power on the device)
5. it will load the zip and ask you if you want to proceed
6. Say yes
7. Wait
8. Profit
