Hello all,
So I'm attempting to revert to stock. Search has yielded some answers, but also posed some new questions for me.
I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704021&highlight=stock
with this info:
Yes.. you can run the RUU on top of a custom rom, no need to nandroid restore your old stock backup. Most important is the stock recovery been flashed and bootloader re-locked before you run the RUU.
And I normally also flash a stock boot.img first. (some people say no need to do this, but it is no harm doing it).

So now my question is, how do I revert to a stock recovery? I know locking the bootloader is:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
but I still need a little more help getting my HOX back to stock. Any help will be appreciated greatly.

Hello. You have to flash stock revovery from cwm recovery thread, before you relock bootloader (command is then: fastboot flash recovery recovery.IMG (take name of stock recovery and put a .img on its end)
Good success
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Find the recovery relevant to your version before you flashed custom Rom (mines 1.29.401.11) download it and put it in the same folder as your fastboot files. Go into fastboot USB and type fastboot flash recovery "name of stock recovery".img
You might have to "fastboot erase cache" if you get stuck on the HTC splash screen after rebooting

If you flash an RUU it replaces the recovery with stock so you don't need to do that, just lock the bootloader and flash the RUU you downloaded before unlocking the phone in the first place

i thought you had to have stock recovery to flash a ruu
hi, i need help with this.
QUick run down on my story, bought the phone and found out that it is rooted so wanted to go back to stock and ended up getting it stuck on fastboot loop.
Im only new to this and found the thread in developers area with guidance on how to fix this but im getting very confused as to what i need to do and what files i need downloaded including ruu, im from AU and there isnt many ruus for voda 021 floating around. I would be happy tho if i can flash it to same rooted state as it was as long i get it working again.
Can someone give me some pointers pls, the way that thread with instruction is written is very hard for me to understand because some basic steps are skipped prob because orger understand them but im very nooby and cant work with it

ok, i think you've tried to flash a stock rom without flashing a stock recovery !!.
do you have fasboot adb on your pc ?
you need to unlock your bootloader and re flash a custom recovery
if not search the dev section for a tool that will unlock your boot and re-flash a custom recovery for you-all the instructions are on there.
once you have re unlocked and flashed a custom recovery,go into recovery and see if there are any backups of the previous rom (nand)
see if that works ..

According to the hboot (1.12) you need a 2.17 based ruu .... but i can't find it !
Tthe basic steps now are
Unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
Get your nandroid backup there,(the vodap021 2.17) you need to flash the boot.img file from that nandroid with fastboot commands, then do a full wipe in recovery and restore the nandroid.
But you still have to fix the fastboot part right ? You need to install android SDK/java SDK and the HTC drivers. Then you have to put the phone in the bootloader and open a commandprompt from inside the folder where the adb/fastboot files are located ...they are in a subfolder in the installed javaSDK install folder

Thanks, it is beginning to make some sense to me now.
So first bit I got to do is the fastboot issue, which is tha last bit you mentioned right?
And after unlock boot loader than flash the recovery with one you provided in the link, tx
So that means I will go back to stock right?
Yes unlock, flash custom recovery, flash boot.img, full wipe in recovery, restore the nandroid, flash back the stock recovery .....
And yes this way you go back to stock and i will also give you the download link for the stock recovery. This one is the last you flash after restoring everything
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
Then you are able to update to JB from within the phones software update menu :thumbup:
Ps you do not have to relock the bootloader anymore !

Please guys, iWe spent all day trying to figure it out, after wipe phone reboots constantly and when if boot screen it's not charging so I'm prob going to run out of battery in a couple of hours
You restore through the custom recovery. Power+vol , choose recovery. If you flashed the recovery ok then you can do from in there. Ie mount usb, copy over your nand backup and restore it. You may have to flash the boot.img using fastboot.

Hello Everyone, as in the subject, my touch isn't working, so i need to ship my phone(under warranty) to the technical center,
so, I wanted to relock the bootloader and use a ruu .
Here it's my problem, i tryed many many method, but i cannot use the latest available ruu (3.14.x) since i installed before the originale stock 3.18.x rom.
The ruu. exe give me every times the error 140, even if i try after rewriting boot.img, signed_recovery.img and so on.
I tryed many things, but i cannot do it, so here my questions:
1) Someone already have the right working solution?
2) i thought to flash a stock rom based on 3.14.401.31 and retry to use the ruu, so can someone give me a link to download a "old" rom like that?
3) other suggests?
Thank you very very much in advance for your help!

Flash a custom recovery and then flash a stock 3.18 nandroid inc boot image that matches your cid. Once the nandroid has been flashed, flash the stock recovery and relock the bootloader. Perform a factory reset to remove the previous users data. You should then be able to send the phone back to HTC
Hope it helps

I already try to restore a 3.18 nandroid, downloaded from here:

I restore it by trwp, but i was some problem, the touch doesn't work, after check and recheck i thought that the problem was in boot.img, so i try to download the 3.14 boot.img and i flash it, but i had same result, i tryed with others and every times i have a different problem, the last, i have no gsm signal and it looks like the phone had no imei.
Maybe i just need a correct boot.img, but i still didn't find it
do you think i'm right?

I would flash the firmwire zip again.
Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38781030&postcount=29
It contains the new touch image, stock recovery, boot image etc
If that does not help you could flash a stock rom created by Mike1986 using trwp or cwm. Flash the stock recovery and then lock the bootloader.

Now it looks ok!
I hope this topic could be useful to someone else: the only way (at least in my case) to have a stock rom if in the phone was a 3.18 version, is to upgrade to that 3.19....i don't know why, but...that's it!

Thats good to know that you got it back to stock. You should be able to send it back to be repaired.
And if you have trouble with TWRP touch(and you will because of flashing new firmware in stock JB OTA) you need to use TWRP 2.4.0.0 from main TWRP page but only TWRP 2.4.0.0 with JB string at the end, or TWRP 2.5.0.0 repacked also to work with JB from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40120901&postcount=509, and because of upgrade to JB firmware in this versions of TWRP you have touch but no mont usb storage and adb working in recovery, i think that new CWM 6.0.3.0 have adb support and mount usb storage but no touch..
hi,
I just want to ask some noob questions, as I don't play around my set so much.
1) First of all, do I have to be on stock recovery to check for updates also ?
2) I rooted my phone using Hasoon's Toolkit and installed TWRP Recovery (didn't install a custom rom yet, on stock 4.1.1), but made a backup before flashing recovery. Do i have to flash stock RUU to come again to stock, or I can flash the backup I made before flashing the recovery ?
3) How i can find my stock RUU, my CID is TMOB_005.
Regards,
Kashif Rafiq
100+ views no reply, no one is ready to help ?
Can anyone with same CID confirm, whether update recieved or not ?

You can receive OTA updates if you have the following; stock recovery, stock rom, locked or unlocked bootloader.
I don't know where the RUU is for your CID but I'm sure there is a thread with it in somewhere.

correct
And just to answer your other question, save the backup you made in twrp onto your computer in case you need it later, this is your nandroid. Then if you install a custom Rom and need to go back to stock at some time you just need to flash the boot.img from your backup and then flash your nandroid in recovery
Now go get the cakes
i've flashed the stock recovery, but after flashing when i try to go into recovery it shows red triangle with exclamation mark

I flased custom rom, twrp recovery. (unlocked, s-on)
I tried to flash stock rom with twrp recovery but failed.
I think s-off is first what I have to do.
Sunshine said " Flash the stock rom or near stock rom."
How to solve this??
S-off is not what you must do. I think you need to understand first what certain things do.
A stock HTC rom is not offered to be flashed with TWRP so that can't be done anyway, a stock HTC backup can be restored via TWRP but that's totally different from flashing it.
Custom roms are designed to flash with TWRP. Stock HTC images come as RUU files which are flashed via the download mode.
My 2 cents :
Flash leedroid and select magisk as root option. The installer does all the work and you are free from bloatware at the same time. Stock oreo rom is nice but won't be updated by HTC anyway so why not profit the things a custom rom offers you
