Hi all,
I have an international (Asia_TW CID__621) HOX. After running CM10.1 for the past while I decided to try CM11. I was at hboot 1.33 so I needed to take care of that first so I found out how to do so by flashing a nandroid backup and allowing it to update to the most recent stock ROM. All was well with the up to date HTC Sense ROM however I still decided to move to CM11 which I did. After a few bugs in CM11 that I didn't like I've decided to give the stock rom a shot again however I am running into a few issues.
I re-flashed the same nandroid backup as I did previously as well as boot and recovery images. Now I boot into the stock rom and the touchscreen does not work. Not the end of the world, I plugged in an OTA USB cable with a mouse and used my mouse to setup the phone, I then made the phone check for an update and one was found and it downloaded, rebooted, installed, rebooted, and I am back into the OS again however I still have no mouse and even worse I have no data or wifi either and they can not be enabled.
Anyone have any idea what I have done wrong? Do I need a different kernel or something? I believe that even after the first update the hboot was still at 1.33. Do I need to move the hboot back to a previous version? What to do what to do?
Thanks xda for your help.
You can't lower the hboot without s-off...try to get a nandroid backup for your new main version which is for hboot 1.7x and restore it...be sure to flash the boot.IMG of that backup...then all should work..

Thanks for the response One-X-master.
I managed to do just that shortly after posting. I re-read the "Getting back to stock" thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714 and then I downloaded the CID__621 Nandroid Backup 4.18.950.2 from THIS THREAD. I extracted it, flashed boot.img via fastboot, copied it to /sdcardo/clockworkmod/backup/ and restored via recovery, and also flashed the recovery.img that was in the nand backup although it is not the stock recovery. I'm still looking for the 4.18.950.2 recovery image however everything is working now and there are no pending updates so not having the current recovery isn't the end of the world right now

This should do the trick whenever you need it.

Hi,
if i am on CM9 and i want to restore a back up of a sense rom, will i then have to flash the corresponding fastboot.img again or will that be restored automatically?

if you already have the backup then the answer is no..you do not need to flash the corresponding boot.img restored many times my custom rom which is based on sense and never needed to flash a boot.img
Wrong.
You need to flash the correct boot.img for the ROM you are using. It isn't flashed in a nandroid restore.

then how comes i never had any problem then..flashed from Leedroid back to my old Ivysaur which i restored and did not needed to flash the boot.img
I don't know and don't really care
I didn't say it wouldn't work. I said that they should match. If the ROM chef provides a specific boot.img, you should use it... otherwise flash the stock boot.img.
Plus you have overlooked the part about nandroid being unable to flash a boot.img.

then the best thing for the OP is to try himself and he can tells us then. and always the happy delight that you are i see..and i go by what i know and tried. i restore my backup and never once had to flash a boot.img afterwards.
Those words make no sense. Maybe you could rearrange the order.
Anyway, I'm done here.

Adios...Nice to see we have some happy campers here today
---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------
and it is simple. he can restore his backup sense rom he has. now if he restores it and it does not bootloop then we have a winner. if he faces bootloops then he goes to thread of the rom he restored he gets the boot.img stick the phone in bootloader turn on the fastboot usb mode and flash the boot.img and job done. Nice to see we have some real happy people today here.
Tried restoring, ended up in loops - downloaded the corresponding boot.img and applied it through fastboot.
Thanks for your help.

Yes, you will need to. Unless you're S-OFF, recovery can't write to the boot partition. Which means when you restore your backup your boot.img won't be restored. And a Sense ROM with a cm9 kernel/ramdisk most definitely will not work. Your nandroid backup folder will contain a boot.img, you can just flash that via fastboot when you've restored the ROM.

Because all of the Sense ROMs on here at the minute are all modifications of the same base, so unless the dev has done something drastic to their boot.img you shouldn't see too many problems using one with a different ROM (although you'll miss out on any tweaks specific to that ROM). So when you restored your Ivysaur, you've been using it with Leedroid's boot.img - potentially missing out on anything that Ivysaur has in the ramdisk which Leedroid doesn't, but that probably isn't enough to cause bootloops or other major issues. You need to manually restore the boot.img from the backup you made in order to use the ROM as it was intended.
Everyone happy?

Did someone set fire to your Tampon? Cos' you seem a little grumpy..
I have a few questions so be kind and help.
1.Im on stock kernel 2.6.3.9.4.
I want to now if that kernel is the latest stock kernel and is there a thread here where i can look if any new ones come out for europe. Because i couldnt find any.
2.Im on viper rom.
I have a nandriod backup of this rom and my stock rom.
I want to know can go back via rom manager or recovery to my stock rom to see if the stock rom got any new updates?
a)if yes,some say if i install this new update i will have to unlock my bootloader again?
b)does the new update also contain a new kernel or did it remain the same?
3.After im finished with the above problems can i go back to viper via restore or do i need to flash the boot.img first and then do a restore?
I have another question on the same topic (rather nooby question ^^)
If you restore a backup from CWM, will you have all the apps and launcher settings and in-app settings/content the way it was by then? Or is it just like going back to factory reset (the os is back to normal and the apps and setting are all lost)....?
Many thanks in advance, and in case you have solution to achieve the goal set in my first question, please share!!

1. That is the latest kernel you have there. There is a custom kernel from kholk which is 3.4. There is no real place to look for the update. You will immediately know when the new kernel arrives. The news will be all over the hox thread.
2. You can go back via recovery, but you'll need to install that boot.img in the backup folder first via fastboot. You'll first need to clear cache before flashing boot.img and then you can recover via recovery. It is in the backup and restore option in cwm.
2a) if there is a update, you won't need to worry about unlocking the bootloader again.
b) Might contain new kernel, depends on which update you were last. Probably not new kernel totally, but rather a few improvements.
Yes you can go back again. Just do the same procedure you did with number 1.

You will have everything like it was when you backed up. Not sure if you'll get you're messages back or not. Settings and everything should be in together with the backup.

It should be in your backup folder. Look under clockwork on you're SD card and then look at your first(earliest) backup date. Open that folder, there should be a zip file and in the zip should be a boot.img file.

Yesterday i updated my one x to jelly bean.(OTA update)
(Australia Voda, S-on, CID- VODAP021, unlocked bootloader, rooted n CWM installed.)
like previous version (ICS), this version wasnt showing one x as USB storage when connected to pc.
so I went to CWM, mounted USB storage and formatted it from PC according to a post..!!!
and now my phone is not booting up.(that is obvious)
plz help me what should i do now?
Re-install the same rom u where using without a full wipe ....
Or where you still on stock rom ?
but how?
i wasnt on stock ROM.
yesterday only i updated it with jelly bean via OTA. and my hboot is now updated to 1.36.
(stock rom was ICS with hboot 1.12 )
and it was OTA update so i dont have that JB ROM now..!!
Can you boot into the bootloader and perform a factory reset ... might help, otherwise we have to find a more intense way to boot it up again !
---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------
And can you do these fastboot commands
Fastboot getvar version-main
and
Fastboot oem readcid
Post these results here please
still not booting up
yes i went in bootloader mode and did a factory reset and from recovery i cleared cache and everything.
version: 3.14.862.27
CID: VODAP021
I have boot.img and firmware.zip for my ROM.
for that lost ROM i have following
I was on jelly bean and exactly for that ROM i found followings after wide search.
boot.img
recovery.img
firmware.zip
is it useful??
I think you need to refresh the system, if the boot.img is untouched......
The recovery is the stock ? If yes ...it's pretty much useless to get the phone booted up.
The firmware is already been used, you have the updated hboot 1.36
I think it's best to go for a custom Rom now to at least get a working phone back and then find a solution to get back to stock
plz suggest any other way..
plz suggest me something. i dont want to use custom ROM. they create lot of problems.
cant i downgrade hboot and install ics again or something else but only official one...!!

You can search for a ics nandroid in the nandroid backup thread by matt95 in the general section ! Search for one with VODAPO021 and software number 2.17.862......restore the boot.img and restore the nandroid backup after a FULL WIPE in recovery .... Then you have a stock ics rom
Or when the 3.14 voda backup is there you can use that one !
Ow and i think i know the answer to your first post, ics has USB diskdrive function and JB uses a mtp file transfer protocol...it's different from ics (USB diskdrive) !
it helped me lil
thanks for replying for the first post.
and yes i got nandroid backup from the post u suggested.
but what about hboot? shudnt it downgraded to flash ics?
and what do u mean by full wipe? using CWM?
and once i can go back to original ics, i will get jellybean ota from vodafone.. rit?
sorry for so many questions. but plz answer to all...
thanks...!

1: Hboot can not be downgraded, but the backup will work fine
2: you are on custom recovery right, you have to wipe everything in there you can except the sd card ! Otherwise different stuff from a rom can interfere with the nandroid restore !
3: yes it should be , you have to flash the boot.img from the nandroid with fastboot commands, do a full wipe/factory reset in the custom recovery and restore the nandroid backup. After that you reboot the.phone to see if it works and then you have.to flash back the stock recovery so it can update the phone to JB properly !
more problems
thanks for quick responses...!! rit now i am downloading nandroid backup and will press thanks button as soon as i succeed...
just now i flashed ARHD 17. but i m facing 2 major problems.
1) sim card is not getting detected..
2) when i press lock switch HTC logo comes again and again.. home screen rarely..!
Certain you did a full wipe, also the caches and dalvik cache, system .... the whole shabbam ?
omg..! dalvik cache clear worked...
thank you sooooo much..
i cleared dalvik cache which i missed previously and everything is working. now i am not in hurry to go to stock rom..
wow..! u solved all my concerns.
thanks again..
No problem mate ! Have fun !!! :thumbup:
My HOX is stuck on the HTC logo.
I tried to install the ICJ rom based on Android 4.2.1 and followed the instructions. But failed...
I can still get into the recovery and reflash. My own backup didn't change anything so I also tried to download a nandroid from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
matching the information from this command.
$ ./fastboot.exe getvar version-main
version-main: 3.14.401.31
I have used 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' with the boot.img from whatever ROM/nandroid I tried to install. Both before and/or after the rom is flashed.
I have also tried to flash other roms like: CM10, CM10.1 and VipertX_2.6.0. I have tried with both CWM and TWRP.
The only thing I can think of that I have not tried is RUU, but those are hard to come by...
Anyone have any idea how to proceed with this? Or am I screwed?
Have you full wiped before flashing ROM?
Sent from my One X
Yes.
In CWM I did factory reset, wipe dalvik and format everything except sdcard. Everything I could find. Battery stats too.
Just in case I also copied everything from the sdcard and reformated that one too.
Just try another rom.
But do not forget to flash also the corresponded boot. Img.

Can you recommend a rom with a higher success rate in these situations?
I've already tried three roms, my own nandroid and a stock nandroid.
do you tried stock by revolution?
Not yet. Downloading now...
BTW, which one do I install? odexed or de-odexed?
your nandroid restore failed ? did you flash the boot.img from the nandroid ? i recommend flashing the boot.img from original rom.zip
EDIT: Your phone might be affected by the read-only partition problem, caused by one of Trip's kernel/rom.
Yes, my nandroid failed. No error message, just stuck at boot logo when I reboot.
And yes, I always extract the boot.img from the rom/nandroid I want to install and use fastboot to flash it.
I've seen different suggestions on when to use fastboot. Some say before and some say after the installation of the rom. I've tried both variants with no luck...
I never downloaded Trips ROM. The download links were already removed when I started to look for roms.
How do I check if I have that problem? Shouldn't I have seen some read only error message in that case?
what i meant you shouldn't use boot.img from nandroid backups(they dont work for some reason), only use from rom.zip
Edit: they dont work for me (stock sense roms)

Good to know. Thanks!
I just assumed I needed to do it the same way for the nandroids. Strangely enough i did'n use fastboot the first time I tried to restore from nandroid. That time it also failed....

Thanks Sensitivity! You made my day! After flashing the stock rom you referred to my HOX came to life again!
Thanks everyone for your help!!:laugh::laugh:
Hi All,
Yesterday I took my Tegra 3 (International) One X back to Stock ICS using RUU. Everything went smoothly after I relocked my bootloader and ran the RUU.
Then I proceeded to get all the OTA updates until I had JellyBean (3.14.707.24) with no further updates pending. Yay for Jellybean! The next thing I did was install CWM recovery and perform a nandroid backup (which didn't seem to restore later, although was created correctly).
At this point, I thought I would try using a CM10 rom to remove sense and I went ahead and installed it, flashing over the boot.img as one normally would, but it wouldn't boot. I later discovered that I needed a modded-boot.img (for new hboot 1.36), but not before I tried running the 3.14.707.24 RUU.
This RUU got stuck at sending.... and did not finish. I didn't leave it more than 20 minutes and tried twice. I also tried my ICS RUU to no avail.
Right now I have no Rom installed (from what I can tell), but I have full fastboot access and would like to know how I should proceed:
1) should I install the CM10 rom again with proper modded-boot.img (for hboot 1.36) and see if it boots? That would at least get me functional.
2) should I try another copy of the RUU for 3.14.707.24 JB? (i found one)
3) should I try a rom like Android Revolution HD which is OK to work with my new HBoot 1.36?
I don't want to do too much too fast since I know what I've done, and used to be really into this. The phone has been sitting a while since I upgraded my device and I'd like to get it working for travelling purposes. I'd be happy with a Stock Rom at this point...
Thanks for any willingness to help me

Ofcourse if you want CM flash the boot.img that is made for CM..And then flash .zip file..And ofcourse after flashing use
"fastboot erase cache"
Sometimes if you dont clear cache your phone won't boot..
Sent from my Endeavor
As you already said the old boot.img wont work with the new hboot. Just install cm10.1 as usually. Or any other JB Rom that is out there for the One X.

Should I use CWM recovery and enable usb storage, or is there another way?

Correct, use the recovery
Yes just mount usb storage in CWM.

I'll try this later when I have the time. Thanks to everyone who responded. I was nervous I was on the bad road. Seems I'm in healthy shape, just lacking a rom.
Two more questions:
1) Can I still revert to stock? If so, how since RUU seems to get stuck at sending and not actually restore?
2) Any idea why when I tried to restore my stock nandroid backup just after installing CWM (which backed up successfully) it would restore but not boot (hung on One splash screen)? Should I have to wait a seriously long time for it to boot (I never used to have to?)
Thanks in advance!

I think I was more freaked out by the RUU not working than just thinking that my phone is fine. Turned out CWM Recovery was still onboard so I just flashed a new rom using USB mounted storage. :good::good::good::cyclops:

Hey, Thanks for responding!
1. I figured. Thanks for validating. :good:
2. I did not use the boot.img from the nandroid backup. I've never sent a separate boot.img when restoring from Nandroid. Is that something I need to do going forward/have been lucky not having to do until now? Perhaps the ICS builds of roms had a more similar boot.img?
