Back to Stock, but how exactly?

Hello togehter,
i found this to-do-list:
1. Flash a ROM and boot image based on 1.26 (e.g ARHD 2.1)
2. Clear fastboot cache
Code:
fastboot clear cache
3. Boot your phone
4. Charge you phone completely
5. Download stock recovery
6. Flash stock recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery endeavoru_recovery_signed.img
7. Relock bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem lock
8. Run 1.26 RUU
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so not that big deal at all. i got the vodafone 1.26 ruu
but i dont find i 1.26.x rom. could i doo this from a 1.29 rom too? normaly the ruu should override everthing right?
one x got wlan problems, signal jumping like hell, nothing helps (reboot, reflash, router reboot, other router...). SO back to stock for warrenty exchance.
greetings and thanks

Hello neighbour..xD
Should be no problem like you posted it, flash 1.29 and you are good to go..

thanks
downloading ruu... takes 2 hours. to premium @ filefactory^^
greetings

ah, just one more question
which recovery to flash?
stock 1.26 for 1,26 ruu right?
or 1.29 for running 1.29 rom in the back
greetings

That's a good guide, but btw...
Make sure your phone is AT LEAST 50% charge.
Because, during the updating process, it will not charge with the usb cable and therefore not going to charge the phone.
If it shuts off during updating, you cannot charge the phone even if it's off.

Good advice, you should always flash with plenty of battery.

When RUU 1.26 didn't work for me I tried RUU 1.28 (latest three branded RUU) And that worked.
I think you might be trying to flash the wrong RUU you need the latest version of your RUU that you have previously ran on your phone.
It sounds to me from your posts that you need the 1.29 RUU but it's your responsibility to make sure you use the correct RUU.

Stock Recovery for HOX 1.29.709.12

This info is for those who only root their HOX Taiwan version phones without custom ROM. When trying the OTA update 2.17.709.2 (Taiwan unbranded version), I had a hard time to find the recovery of Taiwan version 1.29.709.12.
If you are in the same situation as mine, no need to relock, unroot or anything. Just follow the steps to get OTA installed:
1. Download the IMG file, place it in the same folder with fastboot files.
2. Make sure HOX is "Fastboot USB" mode.
3. In cmd: fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
4. Click "Software Update"
5. Once you have install the latest OTA, you can flash whatever recovery you want.
For those who need the 1.29.709.12 RUU, someone else provided this link to download the file. PJ46IMG_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_TW_1.29.709.12_Radio_1.1204.107.14_release_261362_signed.zip

Hi guys,
Im on cm10 latest nightly atm,
and i need to go back to stock HTC rom, no root no nothing , just HTC, for warranty reasons
I used this RUU in the past to get back to stock HTC
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed
But now it doenst work, it gives me error 140, Before the error, the ruu shows me im going from 2.17.401.2 to 1.29.401.11
after that i get the error, that it has a bootloader error...
my bootloader is 1.12.000 atm
Can someone please help me get back to it ?
Also when i try to relock the bootloader, i get This : when using command: fastboot oem lock
I Get Failed(Too many links)
but after a reboot i get RELOCKED (security Warning)
Someone please help!

Go to htcruu.com and download the 2.17.401.2 ruu.
The security warning is because you have relocked your bootloader with a custom recovery still installed.

Back to stock from 3.20.401.1

Hi,
I'm trying to go to stock again to get Hboot 1.72.
I know we can use sense 5 roms on 1.39 hboot, but I just want it.
But I've searched for a RUU for my version but there's only the OTA.
So I followed these steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714
This is how I did it:
1 flash the boot.img from the backup
2 restore the backup
3 flash stock recovery (3.14)
and now im still on 3.20
What did I wrong, I really dont know.
And I really want that new Hboot
CID :HTC_E11
Version: 3.20.401.1

That's up updating boot/recovery to update the hboot you need to either get the ota from HTC or flash the ruu

But how can I do that? there is no RUU only the OTA file.
Thanks

Install the 320.401.3 OTA file in a CUSTOM recovery. Then install the 4.18.401.2 OTA file in the CUSTOM recovery. Then relock the bootloader and flash the firmware.zip that is located inside the 4.18.401 OTA.
Fastboot oem lock
Fastboot rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Then you are on full stock 4.18.401.2 with hboot 1.72

Did you use one of mine ?

Ok, I used you backup with a little bit succes.
After restore your backup I was able to flash the 3.20.401.3, after that i wanted to install the 4.18.401.2 OTA.
In the beginning it went well flashing the OTA, but at the end installation aborted.
And now Im stuck at the HTC Quietly Brilliant bootscreen.
Thanks already
EDIT:
Followed the link you attached (for the ota) followed the instructions there and it works now!
Thank you very much for you time and help!

First, you can't use 4.16.401.10 when your device is S-On.
Second, you need the stock recovery installed then only OTA can proceed.
What's your software version no. now ? Is it 3.28.709.6 ? Are you doing lollipop OTA ?
All the files needed are here if the above version no. is correct.

Just to share some usefull information :
As been explained he can't use that firmware on a s-on device.
A firmware comes with different software numbers which are linked to different cids. If his cid is not supported by the firmware he simply can't flash it. Unless he gets s-off and change the cid. Therefore he needs the matching firmware, he could flash that firmware 10 times and it would still fail.
