Before you start, you will need to set up your computer to properly recognize the phone. You probably did this when rooting originally, but just in case... Install SDK tools for Android, Java runtime, and HTC Sync.
About HTC Sync: The only reason you need HTC Sync installed is for the USB drivers that come with it. But the program itself has been known to cause conflicts. Make sure that HTC Sync is not running in the background by opening Task Manager in Windows and killing it if you find it lurking in there.
Here we go:
1. Download the correct RUU (ROM Update Utility) for your device from androidfiles.org. Make sure you download a Primo_C RUU for a CDMA device (no sim card) or a Primo_U RUU for a GSM device (uses a sim card)!! Also make sure you get the correct RUU for your carrier.
2. Charge the battery above 50% or for at least one hour. If the battery dies during the flashing process, you could hard brick the phone!
3. Run the RUU until the wizard comes up. While the RUU wizard is open, find the temporary folder it created. (Open Explorer in Windows and type %temp% in the navigation bar.) There will be two folders with long encrypted names. In one of them you will find ROM.zip. Open it with 7zip and extract recovery.img or recovery_signed.img. Put it in the location were you've installed Android SDK tools. This is the stock HTC Recovery and it is needed to run the RUU.
4. Boot the phone into bootloader (power off, hold down volume and press power) and highlight FASTBOOT using the volume rocker and pressing power. Then connect the USB cable. You should see FASTBOOT USB.
5. Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder where you installed Android SDK tools. Flash the stock recovery extracted in step 3 above using the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
6. Relock the bootloader using the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
7. Re-run the RUU. It will restore the device to it's original condition, locked (though *** RELOCKED ***) and unrooted.
Once the install is done you'll have unlock the bootloader again using the token you already have from the first time, reflash CWM Recovery and re-root. All this will be 10x easier than the first time.
If you do re-root your phone, be 100% you backup the stock ROM in ClockworkMod Recovery before making changes!
Hi
Thanks for that perfect decsription exactly when I needed it
I just had a weired effect with my new windows 7 laptop that I want to share.
I installed the USB drivers and "fastboot devices" showed my HTC fine
but even flashing the stock recovery image was not working.
So it was stucking in the "Sending" part and never continued.
I then moved to my old laptop with Vista did exactly the same things
and there it worked without problems.
I disabled virus scanner, checked for htsync and used the original USB cable
without success.
But now I know why I normally never touch Windows and only
work on linux

Use the correct RUU package for your device

Another way of saying it is that you downloaded the wrong RUU for your device.
not working
it keeps on saying waiting for device n does not proceed further
i tried installing the drivers again but that doesnt help either

"Waiting for Device" at fastboot usually related to bootloader driver. You need Android USB Driver

Hi folks,
I've bought my One V in late may and I had 2.08 ROM.
Now I've tested some roms and I wanted to revert back to stock rom.
I've downloaded RUU_PRIMO_U_ICS_40A_HTC_Europe_2.08.401.2_Radio_20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.18_M_release_263376_signed, and got recovery_signed and boot_signed images. Then I've went to fastboot, did flash recovery and boot partitions, and oem locked bootloader. Afterwards I booted my phone and entered PIN. Then I fired up RUU*.exe file, and I have 155 error. What the heck? Something I missed?
greetings!

Flashing RUU to revert to stock
- you must have the correct RUU for your device.
- if you are not sure, download CID Getter from Play Store and run it, it will show your CID.
- with your CID, you may be able to find a correct RUU for your device
then (even though some people may not agree with this, but this will bring no harm and it is noob-proof) do this:
1- flash a stock recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
2- flash a stock boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
3- re-lock bootloader
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
4- flash RUU
NOTE: There is no boot/reboot and enter pin in between.

I have an international One x, I don't know what I did wrong but my phone never gets past the ROM's logo screen. I've tried flashing about 6 different ROMs that all worked before but the boot.img file never flashes. When I type the command in fastboot, it says it flashed successfully on the pc but the phone just shuts down. When I open it again, it doesn't boot. I also tried restoring to a stock nandroid backup (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1975140 ) and. I tried restoring to a backup I'd made a month ago but neither worked.
I tried looking for a RUU to run but none worked or are compatible because I can't find one higher than 3.16 and I have S-ON so can't flash anything below that. I looked on the internet in general and here http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Endeavor

It's S-ON with an unlocked bootloader

Wow what a poem first thing as you may know, flashing the boot.img is a really important step to do if you want your rom to work... I see that you can't do it but i have just a question, does your phone shuts down immediately after you type the command or at the end of the flashing process?

The only other thing I can think of is trying to flash the ROM whose boot.img last successfully flashed but I don't know which one that is. Is there a way to find out?

Hi Hadya!
I guess you should start from scratch. U will lost all data on your device but after all it is working again.
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
1. Make sure your device is fully charged for this. Otherwise it will be a big stress to get it back to work.
2. Copy all data from the SDCard away because you will loose EVERYTHING!!!
3. You need your unlock_token.bin to unlock your device again. If you don't have it available please request this from the HTC web site.
Now, let's recover your device...
1. Download this file and extract it.
http://ul.to/j4j1cpft
2. Enter fastboot
Press POWER & VOLUME DOWN KEY and enter the bootloader
3. Connect your device to PC for the 1st Recover
Test if your device is available via fastboot and use this command:
fastboot devices
You should see your device with Serial number
Now lock your device back with command:
fastboot oem lock
You will see a short message and your bootloader is locked. You should see the message on top of the bootloader with RELOCKED.
That's fine.
Now start the ARUWIZARD from the downloade ZIP file and flash your device as you know it.
There is a ROM file inside which is same as your current hboot. This flash procedure will allign your partitions on the device and it might be that you will loose all SDCard files. I'm pretty sure that you will loose it.
The ROM contains only hboot, recovery and boot Images but it will "RECOVER" your device.
4. Unlock your device
After this procedure you are ready to unlock your device again. Enter fastboot and flash your unlock token again.
fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_token.bin
After the device is unlocked flash boot and recovery image of your choice within this way:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase Cache
After this you have a half running device.
5. Second Recover Step
Now you need to do a final repair for the device. For this you need to download Android Revolution HD 31.x ROM.
1. Put this ROM on your SDCard
2. Enter recovery and flash this ROM
3. Flash the boot.img to your device
4. Start your device and ignore the 1st Setup steps.
5. Now go to:
SETTINGS > Backup & reset > Reset phone (touch this)
6. On the next page scroll down to the bottom and select:
"Erase Music, Picture... on the storage"
7. Press "OK" and wait
When the phone is back again device is fully recovered. The SDCard is reformated and all partitons are back again.
Now you can do everything you want with your device again.
Best regards!

I'm facing a tiny problem with running the ARUWizard. It says my phone's battery is below 30% and won't flash every time although I fully charged it till the light turned green.
Hmmm... this seems to be a tricky thing.
Try this:
1. Copy the rom.zip into the same Folder where your fastboot.exe is located
2. Enter bootloader and go to fastboot.
3. Flash the file with this command:
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
4. Enter the original recovery
5. When you see the red triangle than do a short press on the power button and vol up and you will see the menue as same as you know it from the CWM Recovery
6. Wipe Cache
7. Wipe data/factory
8. unlock the bootloader
9. Flash the rom.img from AHD Image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
10. Flash CWM recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
11. enter Recovery and Mount USB
12. Copy the AHD ROM to your device & flash it
13. Boot the ROM, wait up to 10 minutes bevore you use it & ignore the setup
14. Within the Phone enter Settings and do a FACTORY RESET

Not at all, you are fine. Since you are s-off, you can flash a stock RUU and start fresh.
Download this RUU - http://goo.gl/JEkyCk
Then follow this instruction -
Place the zip in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.
Put the device in fastboot mode
(Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)
Connect the device to the computer
Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:
fastboot oem rebootRUU (this puts the device in RUU mode)
fastboot flash zip rom.zip (rename file to rom.zip)
It will say that the update did not finish, to flush again, so repeat the above step:
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
That will leave you in stock 4.3 android, then you can just use a command line to unlock bootloader since you are s-off.
Hope I helped!
hello android geniuses first of sorry about this once my phone is working again i will not mess with it anymore
okay so i was feeling cool and rooted my htc one m7 from verizon then i turned s-off and unlocked bootloader
then i flashed a custom rom it was paranoid android everything worked except i wasnt getting any service on the phone so i was told to flash a verizon htc one rom so i went and flashed viper 6.2 but the phone got stuck in a bootloop so for some reason i thought that doing a factory reset/wipe from the recovery would fix it....it didnt and now i cant reflash the rom either....i tried to sideload but adb wont recognize my device while fastboot recognizes the phone adb wont
what am i to do?
Well im not sure of any other methods to try but i had loads of problems myself pushing files to the SDcard threw twrp and cwm recoveries, so the way I went about it was doing a decrypted RUU to return the phone to stock then once it loaded up in Android I pushed the Rom to the SDcard card then rebooted and started over.
Goto this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46506621&postcount=2
All the way at the bottom you should see some links for RUU's, I used the one labeled "1.10.605.15 Decrypted RUU" You will flash this the same way as you would a firmware update, if you dont know how thats done that post will explain it all. After you flash the RUU reboot and it should be back to the day you got it, but you will still be s-off, at that point just put a custom recovery back on and flash away, however that RUU will downgrade your firmware so you might wanna update your firmware after you get the phone booted up and your rom placed back on the sdcard

What he said. Good post dude.
When you enabled adb sideload, what command did you use? Because you don't push files that way. You type "adb sideload Rom.zip", then it will send the file and after it sends immediately start the install. So you will need to wipe in recovery first to make sure it's clean.
Sent from my Lunar Ecliptic One.
i followed your steps i got to the part where fastboot asks to flush the zip again i typed "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" and it said waiting for device and that never went away so i rebooted into bootloader and now fastboot wont recognize the device however if i go to device manager it says my htc is plugged but has a little yellow icon...the drivers are up to date this is driving me nuts i just want my phone to work
Ruu
sound like you may need to ruu back to total stock there are instruction on doing it here and I do not want to give you the wrong steps. found this but make sure you have the decrypted ruu
1. Download VZW RUU.zip from the following thread 1. Download VZW RUU.zip from the following thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2428276)
2. Rename to "ruu.zip"
3. Enter fastboot mode
4. enter "fastboot oem rebootRUU" - You should not see a silver HTC logo on your device.
5. enter "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip" - The first time you execute this command, it only prepares the flash
6. As soon as the flash is done preparing, enter the same exact command again "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip"
7. Now you'll see a little green progress bar on your phone. This does not need to reach 100%. As soon as your command window is finished, you can just "fastboot reboot".
8. You should be set back to fully stock HTC One.

You could always use a USB-OTG, place a rom on a flash drive and try to install that way. There may be a simpler way, but that's all i can think of for now.
i guess i have to order an otg cable....oh well...ill have to live without a phone a bit longer until cable shows up haha XD w

Does pc see device in computer?if so down load room onto pc place Rom on root of ad card or in download and reboot phone into recovery ahs flash zip..I also had problem where adb would not see devices cause I had miniadb and the full version of adb and it was a conflict,just my two cents
I don't know if this will help, but I had an issue of my devices not being found so I followed this guy's guide: http://zacktutorials.blogspot.com/2013/04/adb-is-not-recognized-as-internal-or.html
and was able to get my device recognized. Also which recovery are you using? I don't know if it's still an issue but when I was on viper I got stuck in a bootloop with TWRP so I switched to Philz.
If you're able to get into fastboot, follow post #4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2677015 and basically start from the beginning.
Make sure you have the latest recovery, the latest firmware (radios and such), and the correct ROM..
good luck

sound like you may need to ruu back to total stock there are instruction on doing it here and I do not want to give you the wrong steps. found this but make sure you have the decrypted ruu
1. Download VZW RUU.zip from the following thread 1. Download VZW RUU.zip from the following thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2428276)
2. Rename to "ruu.zip"
3. Enter fastboot mode
4. enter "fastboot oem rebootRUU" - You should not see a silver HTC logo on your device.
5. enter "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip" - The first time you execute this command, it only prepares the flash
6. As soon as the flash is done preparing, enter the same exact command again "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip"
7. Now you'll see a little green progress bar on your phone. This does not need to reach 100%. As soon as your command window is finished, you can just "fastboot reboot".
8. You should be set back to fully stock HTC One.

Hi All,
Do you know is RUU 4.4 has surfaced? please help
For the last two days I tried to revert my HTC One V back to stock android. As in, the way I got it when I first booted it up. I experienced that this progress was pretty difficult. Maybe this was because I was used to the AOSP niceness of Google's LG NExus 4 or because HTC made it very hard to say the least to downgrade/upgrade to their own stock ROM.
I may not have the original sources for all files because I deleted some original .zip files and only have the extracted files.
First off, I wouldn't do any of this if you have important files on your device, I wiped everything from my phone a dozen of times in the process and it didn't care because I didn't had any important files on their.
Alright, so what we want to achieve is to get to the latest version of HTC's RUU version "2.22.401.7". The RUU I could find was "2.22.401.1" so we're gonna have to d/l some OTA's later on via our device if everything is set up.
So obviously everyone who is trying to revert back has somewhere unlocked their bootloader by doing
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
and
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Please remember this: ANY RUU will fail every single time if your device is LOCKED. It will ONLY work if it's unlocked or relocked.
So first off what we gonna have to do is relock/unlock our device. You can relock your device by going into fastboot[1] mode and running the following command:
fastboot oem lock
Myself have expierenced an error that told me it "FAILED". Please reboot your bootload:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
And check the locked status at the top. If it says "RELOCKED", succes! If it didn't, retry the command above.
Next, we're relocked so we can run the RUU. Please look at the text file at the RUU source [2] for the download links. In this .zip file are the files inside the RUU wizard. You can run the wizard by executing "ARUWizard.exe" and you can view the contents of the actual ROM in "rom.zip extracted" and you can find the original ROM in "rom.zip". Since these are the files the wizard will be using (except rom.zip extracted folder) please do not touch them.
Alright, so we've got the extracted files of the RUU and we're ready to update. Please boot your phone in fastboot mode and connect it to your computer via USB. Now run the "ARUWizard.exe" file and let it update. I couldn't think of a situation where this could go wrong, so please ask below if you face any problems.
The wizard will flash stock radio, recovery andsystem.img (the actual ROM you all know) so by doing this you lose your custom revovery.
When your phone boots up you've gotta go through 3-4 updates till it's on "2.22.401.7".
I recommend not flashing a custom recovery right away because when you install/download OTA updates it isn't able to flash it right. In the meantime if you want root[3] use this command:
adb install -s supersu.apk
When you're on the latest version you have to unlock your bootloader, otherwise you cannot flash a custom recovery or kernel or whatever. You can do this via HTC[4]. I think there are enough guides on how to do this, but in short:
- create an account with an legitimate email address
- Select "all other supported devices" from the list
- follow on screen instructions.
Seriously everything is on there, HTC made it really easy.
If you want to install a custom recovery I recommend using TWRP[5]. Please flash TWRP by booting into fastboot and running the following command:
fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery.img
Troubleshooting
There isn't really a lot that can go wrong if you do this. But when you're stuck on a screen or you think your device is "bricked" or stuck in a bootloop do these things:
- First off, hold the power and volume down button till the device goes down. If it's down, release the buttons and then hold the same buttons again till you're in bootloader
If that doesn't work do either of these commands (make sure your device is connected via USB, hehe)
Make sure fastboot and/or adb is working first:
fastboot devices
adb devices
If fastboot is working:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
If ADB is working:
adb reboot bootloader
adb reboot recovery
If you have any questions, please ask me. I did a dozen of things these two days, I may forgotten something because I did a crapload of things all at once.
Cheers!

tl;dr
unlock bootloader -> run RUU -> done
This is great and all, but is this for the PRIMO-C or U? US version? etc... etc..
