The latest M9 RUU has arrived for the developer/unlocked editions. I imagine many of us accepted the OTA so we don't really need it. But I'm noticing some odd behaviors on my phone and am considering a clean install via RUU. Would an RUU be a cleaner install than 5.01 and then the OTA?
Peace,

If you are having issues after the OTA update then I personally would RUU or do a factory reset.
Factory reset would be the fastest way

I believe factory reset only wipes the data partition, so the ruu method will give you a cleaner install but it will wipe your internal storage, so make sure to back everything up first.
It sounds like the RUU is the cleanest way. Thanks for the help!
disregard. everything went well. i also RUU'ed for a clean restore
Hi guys ,
I'm having htc m9 Europe version. Can i install this RUU ? And if i did can I still receive OTA ? And Will that change my phone to developers version (because the ruu to developer version) ?

Are you S-off? To install this you'll need to change cid and probably mid.

As title,
I'm having trouble with bricking my HTC ONE X, but I cannot recover my phone using the older version of RUU with Error 140, and I cannot find any RUU file for Asia_HK_1.28.708.15, does anyone have this version of RUU file?
Or anyway to S-Off my phone? As I know, I can flash older version of RUU if I S-off my phone.
Thank you very much.
Push, anyone help?
No S-Off and no 1.29.708.15 RUU (you got the version wrong, right?)

I can't find that version your looking for.
If your hboot etc updated, you can no longer use older RUU versions.
1.29.708.9 is the latest RUU I think that you can try.

He has 1.29.708.15, that RUU isn't available.
Best bet is to restore android backup and don't forget boot.img.

Sorry? Could you explain more? Thank you very much!
Can you confirm that you have 1.29.708.15 (not 1.28...)?
And secondly, since you can't install the RUU, as it doesn't exist, what problem are you trying to resolve?
You're unlocked, so you can restore a backup (which you should have taken immediately after installing clockworkmod) and its boot.img, or you can install another custom ROM.

First, thanks for your kindly help.
I just forgot to mention that I've relocked my phone before my first RUU
And I cannot get into Android OS ofcourse, as well as Recovery.
When I turn on my phone, it just automatically boot into bootloader.
I've tried to RUU again but unfortunately it didn't work out as I mentioned.
Just pretend your phone is fine and go through the whole process of unlocking and installing a custom ROM.
Oh, you might try
fastboot erase cache
To fix recovery.
I can't fathom why the RUU install would not work.
As long as your in fastboot USB, there isnt any reason why it wouldn't work.
There is a RUU for 1.29.708.9,
I'm guessing he's trying to use an older RUU with an older hboot.

I know I haven't had it confirmed, but through my awesome psychic powers, I know he has 1.29.708.15, therefore no RUU that we have is new enough.

He's needs to tell us his OS software then.
But if his hboot was updated, its his only option.
Unless he's not doing it correctly, I can't see why it wouldn't work.

Thanks both of you first.
It seems my hboot has been updated and it seems there is no way to downgrade it.
The only way I can try is to re-Unlocker my phone.
Hope it will work.

As long as your adb is working, you shouldn't have any problems doing this.
Good luck, and let us know how you get on.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium HD app
You don't need to find the specific version of an RUU, you only need to make sure the region of your RUU matches up with your phone's country code.
If you are sure you have an Asia_HK device, make sure you download the Asia_HK RUU, if it doesn't work, re-download fast boot, run the erase cache, relock your bootloader and install the RUU.
Why won't any body listen to me?
He has 1.29.708.15, that RUU is not available and NO, you can't flash an older one.

Hi today i want to update my kind of outdated htc one x.
I rooted my HOX like 3 years ago because i had it sim-locked and wanted a different provider. I unlocked it and than (i cant remember why) relocked it and now unlocked it again. Because i want to install a custom rom.
I looked for some roms and deciced i wanted to run Viper X (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087443) which runs on Android 4.2.2. I'm on Android 4.0.4 Sense 4.1 because i havent used this phone for a while.
I can't find any proper guides i tried this one : http://wccftech.com/update-htc-one-x-to-cm10-1-android-4-2-2/ but getting a error status 7.
Any help appreciated!
Oh and im only on hboot 1.12

There has been an OTA update pushed to VM 816s for about a month or so. I know that normally we cannot apply this to rooted devices because of the tampered flag being set off and not running the stock recovery. Is there any way beyond running RUU and getting to complete stock to apply the update? If not, does anyone know how you can extract update from an updated phone?

I tested this last night, you don't need to re-lock the bootloader. Just unroot, flash stock recovery, and apply the update. No need to lose data.

Hmm.... I updated via OTA and I looked at the version number.
I used the RUU and looked at version number and they were both the same though.
Can I reroot after update
For some reason it's being a pain and not allowing me to install the update. When I flash the recovery and attempt to boot into it to for a system update, all I get is a red triangle with an exclamation point through it
HTC One M8 International (Unlocked and S-Off) is not updating to 5.0.1. Please help.
Do you have the right stock recovery installed?
Did you modified the system files in any way?
Files like build.prop or platform.xml?

What do you mean not updating? Are you waiting for an OTA? Since you are S-Off, I'll assume you are running a custom ROM. It won't happen unless you are on stock.
But since you are S-Off, just update your firmware, and flash a Lolly ROM.
I want to use stock lolly ROM but through OTA downloaded 5.0.1 but at time of installation, I am not able to upgrade on lollipop.

Do not tell someone to S-ON when they're not 100% certain they're stock, plus you don't need to be S-ON to update.
OP, can you get a shot of the actual error you're seeing? Up to now you've not really described the error very well
