You can possibly just RUU back to Sense.
But some folks have had to flash the Sense firmware, then RUU.

Possibly? Not for sure? I read that you first have to restore nandroid before run ruu.

Not needed, a nandroid does nothing but change the running software. It doesn't alter partitions or anything.
A ruu takes care of everything. The only thing that might be needed is indeed to flash the firmware first before the ruu. But that's a try and find out.
Nothing bad happens. If the ruu doesn't do the job the first time you know you need to flash the firmware (twice....always twice) and then RUU again.

Folks have had varying results. Some have been able to just run the RUU to get back to Sense. For others, the RUU fails, and they have to flash the Lollipop Sense firmware first, then the RUU runs properly.

My One X Plagued With "Unfortunately The Process com.EVERYTHING Has Stopped" Messages

My One X Plagued With "Unfortunately The Process com.EVERYTHING Has Stopped" Messages
A few weeks ago my One X started giving me stopped process error messages for, well, for everything. Within 5 minutes of booting the phone up, everything would start stopping. gapps, acore, htc.bg launcher, browser, exchange...everything.
This was on my carrier's stock, ICS ROM, but, since then I've tried a custom JellyBean ROM that I found here. The problem is exactly the same, so I guess it's something deeper....
I've tried factory resets, I've tried with and without a google account linked (as I've read that can be a problem sometimes)....I've cleared cache partition and Dalvik cache....what else can I do?
Is there a "nuclear" option, that's even more intensive a wipe than a "factory reset"?
What else can I try?
Try ARHD 7.2 its basically a stock Rom were as jellybean is a ported version with not much working first I would sugguest flashing back to stock choosing the RUU from your country after your completely stock check for updates then go in bootloader and restore device factory settings don't install any apps until your sure the problem has gone if your still getting problems I would return for repair or replacement

Erk....I'm stuck.
I downloaded a zip full of stock ROMs (One_X_1.26.114.3_odexed.zip), but I don't know what to do to get just the bits I need from it.
Having done "fastboot oem readcid", I know that I need ORANG001 stock ROM, but not sure how to "cook" it. Or even if I need to.
These are the instructions I'm trying to follow, but it's the "extracted and cooked from right RUU" bit that has flummoxed me....I've looked around for the answer, but can't find a thread that doesn't assume a level of pre-knowledge (or intelligence) that I don't have
Install stock rom of your CID
-fastboot oem readcid (to know your CID)
-all roms are based on x.xx.401.xx , so you need to download the right RUU(that matches your CID) and extract rom.zip to cook a stock rom for you
-flash custom stock rom(extracted and cooked from right RUU) on custom recovery
-fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img (flash stock kernel that's inside custom stock rom boot.img file)
RElock the bootloader (you can allways unlock)
-fastboot oem lock
Right RUU file for your CID
-put your phone on fastboot (it will not boot because you have a custom rom on a locked bootloader)
-now you can run the RUU exe file and upgrade your phone

Once I've got the stock ROM bit sorted, I think I'll be okay with the rest! (famous last words)
It tells you to download stock Rom matching your cid then extract it on pc (winRAR) you should get 2 folders one is the boot.IMG and the other is the Rom copy the Rom xxxx.zip to your phone and flash in cwm recovery then fastboot boot.IMG. That's it before updating your phone check stock Rom if its fixed your issues just whack arhd or some think stock based there more reliable

Okay, thanks, I get that bit now. But I don't know how to tell which ROM matches my CID...
I've googled phrases like "ORANG001 stock RUU" etc, but every thread seems to lead to a different

[Q] HTC One X update hboot CID HTCCN701

Hello everyone,
I have an international HTC One X with CID HTCCN701, and I would like to install CM10.1.
I am not a noob , and I have already installed a Jelly Bean ROM after unlocking. However, I am currently on hboot version 1.12 S-ON Unlocked, and I could not find a hboot that is for my CID which fits the requirements (Version 1.28 or higher)
Moreover, though I know how to flash hboot, it would be great if anyone can provide a method to update hboot without changing the present ROM, recovery, and data on the device.
Thank you!
P.S. Please do not tell me to search; I cannot find a firmware here for HTCCN701
Does anyone have a solution?
Check for a newer hboot here

try to install it, if it fails to pass htc sig and cid check, it wont do any harm
Yes, I think there is 1.29 RUU, but isn't the hboot contained in it not up to date?
And, I have already checked for updates when I was on stock ROM back in mid June.

Thanks, but are you sure it will just refuse to flash if it is a fake? Because I saw on the forums that if a wrong firmware is flashed, the device could be bricked.
Another question is that is it possible to upgrade hboot without modifying system and data?

You would need s-off for it to flash if it's fake and upgrading the hboot doesn't wipe system or data , although unlocking the boot loader does

Stock Sense WWE EU RUU

How long do these normally take to be posted by HTC after the launch of a device?
There are two types of ruu's. The first would be an .exe ruu, these come directly from htc and well you run them on your computer. These are hit and miss, sometimes they get released others they don't usually I've seen them when an update is released. Now the second type is just a zip compiled from a raw system pull. BUT. Please don't quote me on this and don't flame either lol. This one I believe we just have to wait for someone to compile it

You can do it with a bit of thought...
1. Use the 1.54.401.5 firmware package posted by @mike1986. to make sure you're on the latest build
2. Flash the stock, odexed 1.54.401.5 ROM also posted by @mike1986. to go back to 100% stock (and it's not a Nandroid)
3. Flash the 1.54.401.5 stock recovery

That'll get you back as if you'd used an RUU

Hello. I have managed to dig myself a seemingly un-escapable hole. I flashed the GPE ROM on to my device, and it tried to update... When it did, it resized a bunch of partitions, upgraded HBOOT, and completely messed up the bootloader, so now I am stuck with a device that refuses to flash anything but CyanogenMod 11 because my /system is too small for any other ROM. My HBOOT version is 3.18.0.0000. I have tried pretty much everything I can think of including RUU... I don't know where to go from here. If anyone has any suggestions, please tell me as I would try anything. Will I just have to wait until we can gain S-OFF for this new HBOOT version so that I can downgrade the HBOOT and get the T-Mobile one back, or just convert the entire thing to GPE?

No. I had no virus protection on that computer at the time. Yes. The computer would not actually let me run it w/o being admin.
The computer was running Windows 7 x86_64. HTC Sync was installed. The phone in RUU mode plugged into a USB 2.0 port.

[Q] Flashing o2 recovery

I am wanting to go back to a stock recovery from TWRP. as Im going to pass this M8 on and buy and unlocked one, so...
my phone is:
Unlocked Bootloader,
Rooted with SUper SU
Using TWRP
My M8 is still S-ON and still has O2s stock 4.20.201.6 (LP 501) rom on it.
Ive found a nandroid backup from O2 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
extracted the recovery, but its 1.54.206.5
Would it be safe to flash through fastboot or would i need the matching recovery for the rom
Or because I havent done anything to the rom itself, can I simply restore recovery
Any Advice would be great
Thanks
EDIT
Hmm.... As I havent actually done anything to it, it looks like I just have to UnRoot the M8.,

You need the 4.20.201.6 stock recovery.
You may not be able to boot with 1.54.206.5 recovery

Not so far as Im aware. I know Samsung include an "Easy Mode" on their devices, but i cant remember one on the M8.. Ive checked in Both "Personalise" and "Display" in Settings, but I cant see an Easy mode.
Unless it was removed in LP 501, I dont know
It should be under Settings>Personalise>Home (or it is for me on the unbranded 4.16.401.10 build)
Ah I'm o2 branded so I presume o2 took it out or mine has bug it runs perfect no issues at all just no Easymode tried installing Google now launcher see if that made it shows to no avail and I'm 4.20.206.1 Build

You're not the first to say it's missing in a branded device. TBH it's not even worth worrying about, it's pretty useless!
Why not just try and get s-off? You will then be able to have an unlocked device.
