[Q] How to install ruu(not exe)? - HTC One X

Hello,

I can't find ruu the match to my HTC ONE X. when i use OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_50_S_HTC_Europe_4 and do "fastboot oem rebootRUU" & "fastboot flash zip <filename.zip>" i get error: 12 signature verify fail. I saw on another forum that is normal to get this error and you need to enter again this command, and it didn't work.
I don't have android os at all, just hboot,fastboot and recovery(cwm).
help please!! thank you very much!

First off, you're posting in the wrong forum, this is the HTC One XL forum. I'll ask for this thread to be moved to the right place for you.
But in the meantime I can offer some advice. The file you're trying to flash isn't an RUU, it's an OTA. An RUU is always an exe file and can only be run in Windows. An OTA is not what you want, an OTA is only a partial OS and requires a specific preceding system to be currently installed on your phone to build on top of. If you attempt to install an OTA with your current setup (no OS installed) it'll fail miserably.
You can find an RUU for your device here:
http://androidruu.com/?developer=Endeavor
I'd suggest you do some reading before you proceed any further though, it seems as though you don't really know what you're doing. There's a certain level of knowledge required when modifying your device and without it you're likely to brick your phone. Go to your device forum and do some reading, then do some more, and then do some more.

Thank you for the answer!!
I search in the link you gave to me but i didn't find nothing that match to my device. can you give me RUU please?

There are literally dozens of RUUs for your device on that site. It might be best to wait for someone who has the same device as you to chime in on this thread.
@Mr Hofs, you around?

Hofsy around yes.....4.18 has no ruu available at all. Only way to go back to stock is a nandroid backup. Now i am going to assume for this one time that you actually made a stock backup ?
Easiest way to get back up is to install a clean new custom rom.
Download this rom :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970
And flash this recovery :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
Rename it to "recovery.img" and flash it :
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery and mount the sdcard as a usb mass storage device and copy that rom to the sd.
Make a full wipe in the recovery :
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and storage - format cache, data and system
Install the rom zip and then reboot to the bootloader to flash the boot.img from the rom.zip :
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot
That should do the trick, btw this is the stock rom but made "custom" ......

Thanks for popping in to clear that up, I'm all good when it comes to the Evita, but I've almost no clue when it comes to the Endeavoru.

[Q] HOX stuck on slash screen

Hi,
It goes to show that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!!!
I flashed my phone with Team Viper 2.6 (I think) and all was working fine ubtil I tried another Rom, can't remember which one and the phone will not boot past the HTC white screen.
After many hours of being unsuccessful, I sent the phone back to HTC for repair and after a few days they said that the mainboard needed replacing for almost £200 !!! So i decided against that and got the phone back.
I can get into HBoot and Fasboot USB, also can get into TWRP, so tried to reload Team Viper, as that is the only backup I had. It went through the installation process OK, but still won't get past the flash screen.
Here are some details of the phone:

Now my question is: CAN SOMEONE PROVIDE A VERY SIMPLISTIC PROCEDURE TO RESTORE TO STOCK?
I feel the that phone is not "bricked" but maybe I'm wrong.
Your help and expertise would be so much appreciated for this noobie!!:fingers-crossed:

You probably just need to flash the boot.img from the rom zip...extract it to your fastboot folder and then execute " fastboot flash boot boot.img" and then "fastboot erase cache" using cmd (command prompt) and then reboot

Thanks for the reply, but where would I get the boot.img from?
Would that be from the Team Viper ROM, or do I download from elsewhere?
Look in the flashable zip. Simply extract the boot.img from the zip:thumbup:

You will find it in the rom zip file or you can download the viper kernel from the rom's thread..either of them will work for you.. good luck mate

Thanks to all you guys for your help, but did as you suggested and still no further forward.
Is there a ROM that will return my phone to stock complete with kernel, boot.img etc, that will re-install everything, wike a Windows re-installation. Or am I asking too much here?
I am losing faith in this and I can see it being dumped in the trash before long.
Flash this recovery
http://db.tt/SPXdFfPw
Rename it to recovery.img and flash it :
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then flash the boot.img from the viper x 3.7.5 (open the rom.zip with 7zip and copy the file)
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then go into recovery and wipe all :
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Mounts & storage - format cache,data,system
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Then install the viper x rom.zip and follow instructions.
When you get a question about a kernel....choose viper x delivered !
Done

Mr Hofs, many thanks for the links. I downloaded 3.7.4 and the update 3.7.5.
That was the good bit......I tried to push the ROM using adb in command mode, but I couldn't get it to recognise the phone.
I thought I maybe able to drop the files onto the sd card via Windows, but althought the phone is recognised in Device Manager, it doesn't show up in Windows Explore.
I am sorry that all your help and advice has been wasted, maybe it will help others whose phone isn't as sick as mine.
I may have another go tomorrow, but it's looking like it's headed for that great waste bin in the sky.:crying:
If you want to copy the rom to the phone you go into the recovery and then to
Mounts & storage - mount as mass storage (last option in that list)
Its now a usb diskdrive and windows will recognize it (if its not, wait long enough like a minute or so. It can take a while)
Then copy the stuff you need.
Mr Hofs, Many thanks for your help.
I downloaded 3.7.4 and update 3.7.5 and tried adb push and sideload but my device wasn't recognised, although W8 could see it in Device Manager.
I will give it one more go today and if that doesn't work, it's that great trash bin in the skt.
Again many thanks for your help.:crying:
Like i said you don't need to sideload or adb anything, just do as above and you can copy it normally

Mr Hofs,
Just one last question.... is there a way to get back to the Viper default settings, colours etc, without re-installing the ROM?
What do you mean exactly with colours and stuff, did you flash a theme ?

Yes I did ! I used your dark and yellow theme, but the trouble is now that I can't read texts and the normal (HTC) settings are all in yellow and very difficult to read.
Should I do a complete install of Viper again?
Lol did you picked the yellow theme on the skin picker ?

HTC One X Stock Firmware JB 4.2.2 S5

Hi Guys,
It's been a while since I wrote on this forum... I may be tired, but I can't work out a few things:
I have a T-Mobile UK HTC One X, due to some circumstances I needed to completely wipe...
I was already running an unbranded stock firmware on it, but after the complete wipe i wanted to install JB 4.2.2 S5 - I usually unlock the bootloader, install clockworks, copy the original unedited complete firmware zip on it and install it via the recovery, then relock the bootloader and job done, but I cannot seem to find a complete unedited rom, is either RUU.exe (which I cannot run as the PC wont see the phone due to no firmware on it, I think) or nandrom backups which I don't really want, all the OTA ones seem to just be updates and am stuck with a phone that only has clockwork recovery on it....
Where can I get an official unedited zip that I can install via clockworks?
Thanks

You have good hboot for sense 5 rom 4.2.2 install MaximusHD or ARHD or any sense 5 rom and you are ready to go.
I wanted a stock ROM, the Mrs is not very technical minded lol and a customer ROM won't help her, either TMO UK or in branded, where can I get the RUU for it?
Thanks all
Unfortunately T-Mobile skipped the sense 5, 4.2.2 update, I have the same device and cid and called them countless times, spoke to managers and had it escalated to the highest level only to be told they would not be updating past 4.1.1
Every other network pushed that but them, if you stick to stock T-Mobile ROM you would be missing 2 very important updates, one being the heartbleed patch.
Just grab MaximusHD from the development forum, its the best sense 5 ROM out there and has important ota updates too.
I suppose I will have install it via the custom recovery, could I not install the unbranded RUU 4.2.2? Does anyone know how to s-off correctly, so that I can change the CID.
By the way thank you all for your replies

Deleted Teamwin Recovery without having stock recovery again-Bootloop HTC One M8

Hey everyone
The thing is that I was trying to return my phone to stock recovery to update my phone to Marshmallow and unroot it and I read this in another forum:"Boot your phone to TWRP recovery mode by turn off your phone then presses Vol up + Power to boot into bootloader then choose RECOVERY. There is a more simple way, by using “adb reboot recovery”.
Once came into TWRP main menu, now tap Mount -> Mount system then taps Home.
Tap Advanced -> File Manager, browse to “/system/xbin” folder. From there delete su, daemonsu or busybox if it exists. Also browse to “/system/app” the get rid of Superuser.apk."
So I followed these instructions and then when I rebooted the phone,it got stuck in bootloop. I can't turn it off now or get into the bootloader.
Android-HTC One M8
What can I do to have my phone again in stock recovery?
Thanks in advance
First of all if you rooted the rom this ain't going to work. You need a never rooted stock rom + recovery.
Hold power + volume up and switch to volume down when the screen turns black (do not let go of the power button) then you are in the BL. From there you go to the custom TWRP recovery.
Then you have to find a pure stock backup or a RUU that matches your OS/firmware number (if you haven't made one yourself), restore it and flash the stock recovery and you are done.

You can't run the dev edition RUU at all as you are S-ON and have a different firmware. If you have the 709 RUU then try that indeed. But backup what you need because a RUU deletes EVERYTHING !

So my steps would be S-OFF and from there download 4.24.709.3 RUU? with firmware you mean version-main, right?

No S-OFF is NOT needed. just get the RUU with that version number indeed if it's even available. Then run it with a RELOCKED bootloader.

A stock back-up has to be unpacked and RESTORED with TWRP. No idea what you are doing now but i suggest to stop and read instructions first !

[q] Htc one m8s (qul), can't seem to boot

Hi guys,
After a lot of reading and searching without any luck, this seems the last resort for me. This is the problem.
A week ago or so, I got the marshmallow update on my Phone, htc one m8s. Before this update, i managed to do a custom recovery and root etc. Then I heard about the update and installed an RUU again, restoring the Phone back to stock (renamed RUU zip to 0PKVIMG and copied that into my sd card; after that the stock recovery went all fine).
After the marshamallow update, I tried to do custom recovery again. Somehow it didnt work and i couldnt get the custom recovery working. It flashed fine, booted the img, but wouldnt start the recovery. I tried different varriants of twrp etc. Nothing worked. So that is problem number 1.
The second problem is, dat I think is that I have used a wrong version of recovery boot. Now the Phone wont start after the bootlogo.
The third is, that I cant install stock again, using the method above. I am getting the message; device halted due to large image (...) etc.
Can someone help me please? I would just be happy getting back to stock and be able to use my device again.
Thank you in advance.

First - edit & delete the imei no. from your post.
Your problem is more or less is the same as this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...-one-m8-wont-update-boot-to-recovery-t3385874
Read thru that thread .. the only difference is you need to find 2.10.401.1 firmware.zip
Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/one-m8s-general/make-custom-recovery-htc-one-m8s-t3114245 to see whether you can find the 2.10.401.1 firmware.zip there
* I requested moderator to move your thread to M8s section.

Thanks for your reply! I changed the info.
I really canty find the 2.10.401.1 firmware.zip for m8s. I can find for m9 etc. So I am stuck here. Maybe you know where to find it?
Thanks in advance!
You can find it in the 2nd link that I gave above. It's an OTA zip, you need to extract out the firmware.zip from the 2.10.401.1 OTA.
I can help to upload for you so you don't need to download the whole 1.2 gb OTA for a few mb firmware.zip but you have to wait when I'm home in next 3 hours.

Thank you! I managed to flash it via sdcard.
Now I want to do a custom recovery and root the device. What would be the right recovery for this device and how can I check that myself in the future?
Thanks in advance.

Great that you fixed your main problem.
About custom recovery and how to root I think it's best you check the thread that I linked earlier - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/one-m8s-general/make-custom-recovery-htc-one-m8s-t3114245
Reason is I don't have this device, only M8 not M8s.
Main thing is use only recovery meant for M8s which you can find a few versions there and install SuperSU.zip that you can get from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

Thanks dude, you helped me out a lot with this. My Phone is working now with custom recovery and rooted. Just one last question, so I can finally rest my case.
So getting back to stock, is just flashing the whole OTA file again via sd card i.e. 0PKVIMG or flashing it with fastboot, with the instructions u mentioned above right? Doest it matter whether the devices is unlocked and do i have to flash stock recovery again? or flashing the firmware does the work to gain stock recovery again?

No ... that's wrong.
You should have made a non-rooted stock nandroid backup with the custom recovery before you root it. Just restore the backup and install stock recovery to return to stock.
Anyway .. maybe later, there will be RUU for your version. Always check that thread of RUU collection.

M out after going back to stock Rom

Hello guys,
I have a big probleme. I decided to change mobile, i put my as original since it's easy to sell. I was on leedroid rom with twrp on custom recovery.
So on twrp i flash my original Rom (i ever done it one time so i know it's the good one). Everithing work great, the phone restart. I want to improve the Rom step by step, and i download kitkat 4.4.4, when it's done the phone restart, load kitkat and restart. That the begenning of probleme, it reboot i here the small song, then i stay lock one start screen (Htc-Powered by android), very strange, the screen give some vibration as if it work but nothing move, locking on this screen ........ No probleme, i restart on recovery and i start on recovery factory, the phone boot, as if it load the recovery factory version, it boot again, but nothing more, locked on white screen with Htc powered by android, and the small thong.
Here's, i don't have phone since 2 days. If you have a solution to restart this M8, please help me.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Most probably because of a very low android version installed on a high firmware version.
Post fastboot getvar all result (without serial & imei no.) to see what actually that you need.
Thanks for you answer, how can i get fastboot getvard ?
Never expect this kind of question from a "member" of XDA.
Anyway ... connect your device to pc after you put it on bootloader/fastboot mode
Open a command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder then type
fastboot getvar all

That's your problem .. you have Marshmallow 6.12.163.4 firmware but you restored a very old version and it get stuck due to too high firmware.
I don't see anywhere a backup or RUU for 6.12.163.4 around ... you need to find it.
I'll see whether I can find a lower version than make a good collection in my backup thread
Edit : you should have already make your own backup since our last conversation here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57254494&postcount=3175 .... maybe you can contact him again.
Edit 2 : You can wait and I'll upload 6.12.163.4 backup to my backup thread (link in my signature) either tomorrow or Sunday
Arf, ok, so i will try to find this one. I hope i will get it.
I'm just asking, how can i flash this version (if i find it), since i can't access to my phone, i never do this before ?
I found this for you ....
ROM 4.19.163.2 (+ radio & stock recovery, màd par Migascalp, flash via TWRP*)
Install TWRP then install it as same as you install custom ROM then do OTA to 6.12.163.4
Source : https://monhtcone.com/2015/03/05/boite-a-outils-pour-le-htc-one-m8/comment-page-1/
Thanks to @migascalp

Reinstall TWRP - https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
Download twrp-3.0.2-0-m8.img and place it in your adb/fastboot folder
connect your device to pc after you put it on bootloader/fastboot mode
Open a command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder then type
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-m8.img
then you get TWRP recovery installed then proceed the rest
gotta go now ... good luck
Thanks a lot Kuala for your help. I download everythings then i do it. I give you news when it's done.
Thanks again mate
Thanks a lot mate for your help.
TWRP installed
15 minutes to go for Rom ....
Working great Kuala. Amazing, thanks for advices and help
Arf, it's not working perfectly, i can't install 6.0. It's loading, decompress, but when M8 reboot to install it make error.....
Does some one have idea ?
Thanks for answer.
Why error ? Did you root it ? If you root it, you'll get error.
Here is another way for you :
Install latest TWRP
Restore 6.12.163.4 non-rooted backup
Install 6.12.163.4 stock recovery
Done
