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

There must be a way to s-off the Maximus HD ROM says "1. Make sure your device is unlocked or have s-off"
Why would it say that on "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2410320" if there was no s-off ways? am confused lol

[Q] Bricked M8

Hello All,
I have tried to follow all these tutorials, but my issues is not listed yet.
Original rom was on Vodafone, tried to gain S-OFF, but it failed saying that is not possible for my device yet? So I was kind of stuck with Tampered, Unlocked but S-ON
By mistake I have wipe everything through customer recovery as I have left myself with No OS. Tried different RUU, latest one isRUU_M8_TMOUS_1.57.531.7, but can't go anywhere and always stuck on Signature check 132 Error or 150 error
I did reboot boot loader and I did relock.
Tried also a Sideload rom, comes up with the error that is either insufficient space, can not read sideload. cant't push through adb either comes with error
Also is there a way to gain S-OFF in the bootloader only?
Looking forward to your thoughts and possible solution.
Many thanks
Also: when i run the relock command this one comes up.

Answer me this quickly, if you have a Vodafone, S-ON, why on God's green earth would you flash a RUU for T-Mobile US?

Flash a custom ROM. Put the firmware and gapps on your sdcard.

I think he should just restore his phone to stock ROM after he flashed a custom ROM. If he doesn't know the difference between Vodafone and T-Mobile then I don't know... To make matters worst he knows he has no OS on his device and then he goes to try and lock the bootloader, in the hopes of achieving what?
Put a ROM on a SD card, flash it through custom recovery, download a stock ROM for your device from the Collection thread in General section. Restore the device back to stock and rather leave the flashing until you read up on the basics and get a better understanding of these things before you really mess up mate.

Thank guys,
I have tried T-mobile because i found somewhere in the forum. I thought it was a bit strange.
Customer roms don't work either. comes up with errors, can not mount cache.
I don't really know where to start any help would be much appreciated.
Never had issues with other android phones but this one is tough.

Make sure bootloader is UNLOCKED, and keep it unlocked (only relock if you need to return phone to HTC)
What custom rom did you try? what custom recovery do you have?

Clockwork Recovery
tried all sort of roms, just tried to put android_revolution_HD, aroma installer went fine which was an improvement. but still stuck on HTC one logo again.
UPDATE: OK managed to get in the stock rom working. But no WIFI is not working. Tried to update to the newest firmware and it comes up with incorrect model ID.

wifi is not working because you have installed the newest version, use the version you had before, like 4.4.2/4.4.3 etc that way you can then update to latest firmware.

Also, your MID (model id) and CID must match the firmware you are flashing since you are not S-off, and therefore not superCID.
In fastboot and hooked up to your PC in ADB, type fastboot getvar all. The output it gives you will tell you your CID and MID(modelid).
Then look for firmware that matches those.
Or get S-off with sunshine (best $25 you will spend on your phone), and go superCID to flash firmware from any carrier.

Thank you guys for your support. my version list is bellow. So which is the correct firmware version am I looking for?

Thank you for your sarcastic reply. I went through all guides before posting this. But in non of the guides explains how to match these numbers to get a "matching firmware"
Thank you

also éven if he would try on s-on a T-Mobile RUU von vodafone cid it would never work
if you really don't know how to Flash custom roms etc properly please Keep your phone stock!

If you got the stock Rom working i would go S-Off with Sunshine and go Super CID (11111111) with Sunshine.
Then you can flash what ever Rom you want.

I'm sorry but you probably missed something. What i would is, S-off, Super CID(fastboot oem writecid 11111111) Super CID "allows you to flash ANY ROM to the device regardless of the carrier" (taken straight from the S-OFF sticky). You can certainly S-OFF, install custom recovery, and begin flashing custom ROMs without Super CID, but you will be limited in your choice of ROMs to those that are the same carrier as you have
CID is the Country Identifier, a code which is stored on your phone and software uses to determine which country or region the phone is for. HTC updates, for example, use it to determine (among other things) which languages to install.
SuperCID is a special code, 11111111, which means that software from any region can be installed. Last, flash recovery and flash new rom

Actually, CID is Carrier ID, not country identifier.. That's why his says VODAP001 (his carrier being Vodafone) and not his country (whichever of the 21 countries Vodafone is available in)

Why don't you do the easy way :
1. Flash TWRP - link in my sig
2. Download the stock nandroid backup for your CID/MID - software version no. 2.22.161.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55302130&postcount=1884
3. Restore that nandroid backup
4. Fastboot flash the stock recovery for 2.22.161.6 - link as above
5. Do OTA to 4.4.4 - software version no. 3.29.161.5
6. Once complete - then you decide whether you want keep it stock or flash custom ROM.
7. If you want to flash custom ROM
a- flash the TWRP again
b- install any GSM based 4.4.4 ROM of your choice - everything should work including wifi
Note : on any case above - no need and don't relock bootloader

And last one is there a way to go back to LOCKED with S-ON, from what I see Firewater is not supporting my phone.

No only with sunshine possible, made by same devs but costs 25$ but will 100% s-off your device

Not true, not 100 %. Maybe V3 will do that. Keep in mind that the version of sunshine that is now on the market is not working with all the devices.

How can I update my bootloader?

I'm on Paranoid ROM (last).
Bootloader 3.16.
I would like 3.19 or .18 in order to use Android 5.0 (CM 12).

Don't guess. Boot into bootloader, and it will say either s-on or s-off near the top.
By variant, jball is asking what carrier version or CID.
Flash the proper firmware package for your CID, if its in the collection:

Don't guess. Boot into bootloader, and it will say either s-on or s-off near the top.
By variant, jball is asking what carrier version or CID.
Flash the proper firmware package for your CID, if its in the collection:

I'm having the same issue as the OP. Trying to get to Lollipop from the latest Paranoid Android ROM. Here's the output of fastboot getvar all in the spoiler. Can you please tell me exactly what to do, in what order, and what specific files to flash in order to get my phone updated to a 5.0 ROM? I've been trying to follow this post, but something's just not clicking for me. I've already bricked my phone to the point where flashing the RUU from HTCDev was the only thing that'd save it - two separate times. Believe I am s-off, with TWRP 2.7.0.1 installed, but on the AT&T Stock ROM 1.58.502.1. Checked for OTAs, and I'm apparently up to date...

@bassitone
How does anyone not know if they are S-OFF/S-ON ?
Did you buy your phone second hand ?
Do you know how to boot into hboot/bootlooader mode witch will inform you if your S-OFF or S-ON
Have you tried an up to date twrp cause the one your on is very old.
At&t is furthest from receiving OTA's in my opinion

His fastboot getvar all output clearly states SECURITY - OFF ...... so he has an S-OFF device.

Because I wasn't sure if something I did yesterday managed to undo my s-off status. First HTC device, and I went pretty far in restoring to stock

I would suggest the following thread, which has explicit step-by-step instruction on how to update firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
"3.28.1540 firmware only" file is what you want.

[Q] AT&T M8. Worst case scenario, basically. Phone recoverable?

****ed up and didn't read things properly. I was trying to revert my phone to stock with an HTC RUU, that didn't work, and in haste and anger I set S-ON. On a device running CyanogenMod.
The threads I found on the subject weren't entirely helpful, so I'm here now, hoping I don't have to explain to HTC why I'm dumb. My device boots immediately to fastboot:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***

Delete your IMEI and serial number. Those are personal data, which should never be posted on open forums.
Which RUU? Only an AT&T RUU will work unless you modify MID/CID by s-off.
An AT&T RUU should work.

Thanks, I'll make sure to edit those out if I post again. A mod did that this time, hooray.
It was an AT&T RUU. At one point, I installed a stock GPE ROM and might have changed my MID, but don't quite remember. I remember that I changed my CID, but changed it back for the AT&T RUU. Judging by this thread, my MID is an "AT&T, unlocked, developer ID", so I guess it'll work.
If it helps, the specific RUU I used was named RUU_M8_UL_K44_SENSE60_ATT_SECURITY_Cingular_US_1.58.502.1_Radio_1.16.21331931.LA11G_20.31A.4145.02L_release_368350_signed_2. I downloaded it from HTC.

That RUU will fail, since it corresponds to hboot 3.16; and with s-on you can't run an RUU with a lower number hboot than is installed on the phone (3.18 in your case). Any other RUU except that one should work. You can find the other RUUs on my AT&T specific Index thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432

Bad news first: the only RUU in that thread (the 4.4.4 one from HTC) that I could have used didn't work and gave me an unknown error (155). The other executable was the one I was already using and all the others require a microSD card, which I don't own.
Good news instead: This was fixed by... unlocking my bootloader again. Once I did that, my phone booted into CWM which was still installed and then booted into Cyanogenmod which was still there due to all the failed RUUs not doing anything. Hooray!
Thanks for the help, redpoint.

Actually, you discovered an error in my Index thread, as the "Official" 4.4.3 RUU link should go here:

Instead of incorrectly sending you to the "bootable" RUU.
Not sure why the 4.4.4 RUU is giving your error 155 (wrong image).

You actually never mentioned what the original issue with CWM was. Did it not boot?
I think relocking the bootloader wipes the phone. So maybe that was all that was needed to get CWM to boot.

Prep M8 for donation (factory restore)

Hi all,
So I have my old M8 doing nothing (switched to Note 4)...
It's running a custom venom rom, and basically I want to put it completely back to factory state.
If you could help a guy that's moderately good at this stuff, I would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Post the output from fastboot getvar all and we'll tell you what to do

Thanks for that, err - I haven't got the tools installed any more, could you point in the direction of the tools again sorry!

Ok, getvar just sits at waiting for device...?

Ok sorry, turns out I'm just rusty!

No other way, only sunshine.
But you don't need S-Off to revert to stock with that thread guide, you need to relock bootloader then follow all the steps.
The only thing is without S-Off, your bootloader will show RELOCKED instead of LOCKED.

Ah cool, minor.
Thanks

S-OFF would probably add a bit to resale value so might be worth doing - up to you of course!

Indeed, but I'm literally giving it my uncle and let him use it.
If I may ask one more thing though, when sending the ruu.zip
I get:
FAIL99 unknown fail
FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail)
Execution time is 3(s)
Any ideas??
Thanks for your help sirs.

That seems to come up randomly and doesn't really appear to point to anything in particular. You've definitely got a locked bootloader and are using the htc_fastboot?

Unfortunately it's still unlocked, but I can't seem to change that either. I'm using minimal adb and fastboot, but the htc_bootloader is in the folder.
Am I supposed to use that from the start, as I only see reference in the final stage.
Apologies, if I'm misreading!
EDIT, I followed the guide starting with recovery which kept failing... That must be the issue...
from your guide EDIT: Thread I meant:
"Well lord knows what's going on here...
I started by flashing the recovery to the one linked here. It won't boot into recovery at all it just sits at "entering recovery..."
I was using a venom custom rom and TWRP 2.8.5.0 touch recovery.
I can boot into the phone, use fastboot and adb - but can't go any further in restoring the handset back to factory... All help appreciated."

That depends. Are you s-off? If so, you can run a WWE RUU, and go back to basically stock. WWE is compatible with Rogers. You won't get OTAs though. You'll have to update firmware manually, but with s-off, that's easy to do.

My apologies, I failed to use my eyes.
