Hi guys.
Hoping you can help me.
I rooted my DHD some time ago, with help from this forum, and was running the RCmix3D rom.
Well I have upgraded to an HTC One X, and a friend would like to buy my DHD, so. I thought I’d factory reset the phone.
Before I did that though I did a nandroid backup through CWM recovery.
After the nandroid backup, I rebooted into the ROM, factory reset the phone, however it then just booted through the White HTC screen into a black screen with the word ‘android’ in the middle.
Now, I didn’t panic, and I left the black screen for a while, but it didn’t change for ages.
So I pulled the battery, went back into CWM Recovery, and tried to restore, however, the restore didn’t take!
So I thought I’d just download another ROM, and flash that, but THAT hasn’t worked!!!
So I’m stuck without a backup and without a ROM,
I got the DHD on day of release so I guess it had Froyo on it!
Can I just download an RUU for this device and run that or are there additional steps that I would need to perform before that?
Thank you in advance.
Greg.

Greg, Factory reset only works when you are stock. As you were running a custom rom, you have just deleted the rom from your phone. You will need to flash a RUU to revert it to stock.
I don't actually know why you couldm´t flash a custom rom, but it should work as long as you are S-OFF.

Doh!
Cheers Brother.
The reason is that I'm not sure the new user would be ok with teh extra finctionality, and I'd worry they much it up (Much like I have done)
I still con't quite understand why it wouldnt flash a new ROM though
Ok.
When flashing an RUU, can I do that from the boot loader?
cheers for yor help.

Yes, you have two choices, or do it in the PD98IMG.zip way or flash it in fastboot. If you are S-OFF, you can flash any RUU, but I suggest and unbranded one. Don't flash a Froyo RUU or you will be in troubles.
On how to flash a RUU from fastboot, check the guide in my signature....:good:
Ok dude. I hear you.
Could you give a brief explanation on why the Froyo RUU would be bad?
Cheers brother.
Love your Avi.

If you are using a Gingerbread hboot and flash a froyo RUU then your hboot will work in super slow motion and might take half an hour to boot. And belive me fixing that is not easy nor fun...
Were you able to flash a ruu??
Hey dude.
Not tried yet, munching dinner and watching some Sons of Anarchy at the moment.
Will let you know ow how it goes though.

Ok here a photo of the bootloader.
So as you can see I have S-off
Just need to find the right RUU.

Hey dude.
Another few questions,
1) How do I know if I am using a GB hboot? Would a new hboot have been written when the GB OTA update came?
2) How can I tell whuch RUU is a GB RUU without the name being in the title of the RUU?
I.e. RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.zip
Thank you again.
Greg.
Oh, and I think I have found out why I can't flash a different ROM like ARHD, I'm using CWM recovery, the instructions for ARHD state that you are only to use EXT4 recovery.
Bum!

That shouldn't be the issue. Anyway, try flashing a Ruu And see what happens. I will find an unbranded one one that works for You. Try this one And report back.

Cheers dude.
Just downloaded it.
Do I need to rename the file to just "PD98IMG.zip" and drop the "-GB2" ?
Cheers.
Greg.
Yep.
I needed to rename it.
Flashing it now.
Cheers.
Greg.
Dude.
Thank you for all your help.
It's all up and running Stock, just running the OTA update.

I really don't understand in all of that, but I just went through a very long process of rooting my phone etc.
and one of the million things I stumbled upon was this time I flashed a rom using CWM and the rom was corrupted..
I was thankful that CWM had the option to connect the phone via usb storage, [hard drive thing, so you could transfer files from comp to dhd]
So I just downloaded the rom again and placed it on the phone and flashed it using CWM.
I guess it might help you since you have CWM [and if you have CWM I guess you're rooted?] so you might try flashing a non-stock rom.
But I'm not deep into this stuff and don't really know, so you can try but I'm not sure it'll work.

well at last I did it but still GPS didn't worked for me so I left this ROM. I'll keep up checking for new versions 'cause 2.3.5 skin is rly primitive (yes I used it mainly because of skin) and I hate it...Thanks for help
Sorry if this has been posted already but i have searched literally hours before coming to this.
I'll start at the beggining.
I was on stock htc rom on 4.2.2 on my ONE X. i wanted to root so followed a tutorial and it went wrong, so i tried to boot the phone but it was stuck at the htc screen, so i did a nandroid restore
however the restore was for an older software version (ICS i think), now the phone boots up and i cannot use the touch in anyway. I have searched for RUU's but none work, i have tried nandroid restores but the give errors and i have also tried stock rom's but to nno avail.
I would honestly greatly appreciate help in any way shape or form. I am not a complete noob at this but a mere begginner compared to you guys here, (much love btw, helped me a hell of a lot through the years).
I can provide any information you want, just let me know how to access it as i dont have touch working. I have clockworkmod recovery etc, i dont think its rooted.
So yeah, please help me and im sorry if this is wrong section

Flash philz touch recovery , then get either a Rom or a newer nandroid, go in your recovery and mounts and storage and mount usb storage. That way you can copy a Rom on it and flash it.
Don't forget to flash boot.img!

Problem at the nandroid backup ? Or problem at recovery ?
Be clear about your issue
If it's touch on recovery update it to either philz touch or latest TWRP. They can easily be found in the original dev section.
When touch doesn't work when you restored a nand backup you need a newer one matching your official main version !

You should get a matching nand from somewhere. Without one i can't help (you should have made your own )
If there is no nand in the backup collection thread in the general section than i don't know. There is no other source available here on xda ...... maybe outside xda, a forum from your country ?

No mate , just flash a custom rom and use the phone. A stock rom is not different to your stock. It's only debranded (no carrier crap on-board). And there will be no major updates anymore, i don't even think there will be small ones either !

Ok, so everything is fine.
Depending on your rom (Sense I assume) you'll need to reflash your kernel or the complete "romwhichever".zip
To flash a kernel separately you need to boot into recovery and enter:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Usually you'll find the file boot.img inside the rom zip file(s) and you need to extract them. More questions?
Yes bro...can you guide me where to get the flash file

Are you using the stock rom (that came with the phone) or another one (which one)?
TWRP or CWM recovery?
Rooted (Superuser installed) or not?
Sorry asking, but that's straightforward...

If you didn't even unlock the bootloader, how could you possibly mess it up?
Is that possible?
Usually you can't bypass a locked bootloader.
So I'd suggest the following:
Boot into bootloader
Select Hboot (simply by pressing the on/off switch)
Select 'Factory Reset' by pressing Vol down
Press on/off
and wait for reboot.
Btw. did you buy it 2nd hand?

What is your recovery?
And did you try the steps I mentioned above? It's way easier to try this first instead of returning to stock, as there are no RUU's available now. The very first thing to return to stock is to find out if an appropriate backup exists here.
If not, we'll try to load and flash another rom. Search for ADB-sideload...
Do you know about ADB-shell?

Make shure to search and read for these things before we start anything...
