I am currently using Mikes latest ROM.
I want to sell the phone, so I'll need restore root etc. I cant do this, as I cant find the same or lower RUU for my phone.
I also cant find a stock nandroid backup for VODAP001.
Is this a total loss, or is there anyone out there that can help.

Your CID can't be VODAP01 check again missing one number, and YES there are nandroid if your CID is VODAP001

No. Both use different format.

Not necessary when you are comfortable with fastboot command.
fastboot getvar cid is better.
soundhound,teeter,twitter.-cant these and other system apps be restored in another rom if backed from other rom???
A nand backup can be use for other device if they share a same CID.
So depends on what purpose. If the CID is same and those apps are needed to make the OTA work, then yes.
If those are needed just to make it runs, you can take from any other backup. This is the basis of a custom rom. But not all system apps can be use. Only the user apps that reside in system.
i have backed up the 3 system apps mentioned above using TB from stock rom. when i restore them, it says restoring but it stays there forever...i have to FC TB....
also, once i installed a rom,went to advanced in CWM 6.0.1.2 and selected a previous backup of other rom and selected restore data. restore data was complete...then i rebooted....bam!!!my phone's screen looked like a kaleidoscope!!!!!why did this happen???
I never use TB so do not know how it work. What I will do is copy that 3 system apks and its odex files, and manually put them in current stock ROM and put the right permission. Or make a flashable zip for those files and flash it in recovery.
Restoring data from other ROM is not a good idea. It will not only restore user apps but also all other data such as property & etc which usually will not work in other ROM as these ROMs may have different kind of data.
is cid useful for getting one's RUU???i am not able to find my RUU. there is such a long list in cid getter...??
If your CID is HTC_038 with hboot 1.18 then there is no available RUU for your device yet.
cid: HTC_38
primou pvt ship s-on rl
hboot-1.16.0000
radio-3831.15.00.19_M

how to get RUU???
the RUUs have long complicated names...... so i dont understand how to select the right one....
is this the right RUU for me-
http://www.filefactory.com/file/5uc...33U_3831.17.00.18_M_release_264251_signed.exe
Yes... it will upgrade your hboot to 1.17 and radio too.
....i have a backup of stock rooted rom with a kernel,something like- root PREEMPT-is this the stock kernel???? if i have the backup of stock rooted rom with this kernel, then should i do the RUU procedure?? if the function of RUU is to give the stock rom and kernel, which i already have through a stock rom backup, should i apply the RUU??
what i mean basically is-
what is the function of these RUUs???are these only for those who have forgot to make a backup of their stock rom after rooting and want to go back to stock but dont have a stock rom backup???
if i have a stock rooted rom backup,the stock recovery and stock kernel,then is there a need of RUU for reverting to stock???
Hi
I have an unbranded (unlocked) HTC One X (Bought in UK). I recently received 4.1.1 update but I have decided that I want to root my phone. I have never rooted any phone before so I am pretty much new to the whole process.
I would really like to back up my phone as it is. I am not sure if it is possible to create a ROM of the current state of the phone and restore it if I want to. This is because my phone is still under warranty and if it goes faulty I would like to send it back to HTC in its original state.
I can backup my contacts, messages, apps etc. separately. It is the actual original HTC software I am more worried about.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Anyone please?
I have been browsing through the forum and I have seen few people ask very similar questions but no one seem to have figured it out yet. I have also seen many topics where people are struggling to recover back to stock ROM because they did not make any proper backups.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
So you need 3.14.401.27 RUU. You are on 2.17.401.x now?
Check htcruu.com, the UK ROM is widely available.

Thanks for the reply.
I have official HTC 3.14.401.27 installed on my phone right now. I have never rooted it or anything. That is why I am asking if there is a way for me to save that as a ROM or save that ruu before I root my phone.
Make sure you make a nandroid backup of your stock rom after unlocking bootloader and installing clockworkmod recovery, and keep that backup in a safe place.

Okay thanks. Any other way to make a copy of stock kernel and recovery too?
i believe there are links to stock kernels and stock recoveries. there's also a thread to go back from custom rom to stock rom if ever you change your mind

Yup I have been reading that.
But it says that:
These instructions require that you have one of the ICS hboot versions in order to work (1.12.0000 or lower). If you have one of the new JB hboots 1.28, 1.31 or 1.33 there is currently no way to return to stock until a JB ruu is released for your device.
After checking my phone, it seems like I have 1.33. It seems like there is no way for my phone to get back to stock at the minute. That is why I was asking if there is anything else I can do to make it possible before I actually root my phone.
needing this ruu if anyone has it as cant get phone working any other way also tried to change the cid to the 11111 but i noticed that when the file was pulled of the phone it is currupt as has no imei or any lock info.
when i try to flash with the older ruu it picks up the jellybean so i dont think all the data on the phone is lost thanks craig
Sent you a PM
By the way....that ruu is not released/leaked yet
Any update on that RUU? I really need to find a copy.
Thank you

Nope, no ruu
That's very, very annoying.
Any recommendations on how to restore it to stock? I can't use any other RUUs because I get an error 140.
I've tried using CWM nand backups, but they don't want to open. They fail a signature test.
Is there any way to downgrade the firmware so I can use an older RUU?
Thanks again.
No downgrade is impossible. You can use a stock nandroid backup from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
How to restore it is also in the OP, just give it a good read
I had a lot of challenges getting venom onto my one x, now I'm looking to put it back to stock and OTA update for blinkfeed etc.
However,,,,
I don't have a nadroid backup to use. And everything I download doesn't work RUU wise.
My CID is VODAP001 and the version stated in fastboot is 3.14.161.27
So I downloaded RRU 1.29.161.13 signed from xda but if fails with error 140 boot loader version error.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately not, you cannot downgrade, and the RUU for 3.14.161.27 is not leaked. Unless you can find a nandroid backup of 3.14.161.27, you are bound to custom ROMs. Maximus and Android Revolution HD are close to stock.
I see a nandroid backup for CID VODAP102 (3.14.161.27) in the nandroid collection, but unfortunately no CID VODAP001 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
I have the same problem as i didnt backup my stock rom and my version main is 3.14.161.28 and there is no RUU or nandroid i can find for this version and CID VODAP102

On the collection of nandroid backups thread there is a nandroid you need on page 163. I restored mine with that nandroid too. Go ahead and try

Tried those but it didn't work, fails to install.
I cant mount any storage in CWM either so had to use ADB push to send the zip.
Any ideas what im doing wrong?
Try Philz touch recovery and see if you can mount storage with that
Might have it sorted. Changed the driver on the pc can now see storage. I also messed with the folder name of the nand trying to make it easier as I had loads. It now seems to be doing the restore in cwm.
yes restore worked now on very old software...
can I install the OTA its downloading now or do I have to do something else first? flash a stock recovery etc?
for in 6 months time when I get stuck on this again yes you need the stock recovery installed to apply OTA updates.
