Going back to stock ROM

After trying some ROMs I can't help but feel disappointed for several reasons, and I'd like to go back to Stock rom
Problem is I never had one, I only had ICS with a rom from the company I bought it from
I'd like to go back to clean Jelly bean Stock rom
Is that available for download somewhere?
And how do you install it? is it a firmware flashed with Odin or is it a boot.img?
I'm kinda new at these stuff, so newb tips would help
Thanks in advance

Do you know fastboot commands ?
Put the phone in fastboot USB (bootloader menu)
And do these fastboot commands
Fastboot getvar version-main
and
Fastboot OEM readcid
Post the outcome here !

Didn't understand anything from the 2nd command, so:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Try it without the capital letters
Like oem readcid

Or
Code:
fastboot getvar cid

Well I could've just told you my CID if you asked ._."
HTC_K18 [I'm from Israel, that CID is the importer's so it's weird :\ I guess I need some kind of international version?]

Might be difficult to find a ruu for that cid. I guess you'll get more out of the following thread than I do:
http://iandroid.co.il/forum/topic98747.html
I remember you. I helped you install cm10 in the first place. I hope you did a backup of the stock rom like I told you to. Did you?

Actually no >< I skipped it since it didn't work out at the beginning and I already started the process ... Sorry
But I never actually had a stock rom in the first place ...
I realize that it was a mistake, but does that mean I only have to find a RUU for this CID?

Well, I wasn't 100% sure and I'd expect you to just ask me to download a cid getter for that xD

Well to be honest i have never seen a cid like yours ! Don't know where to look for a ruu

Can't find that ruu either ... :3
I've got a few ideas, lemme know if they can work:
1. Unlocking hboot resets device settings, right? I remember getting a stock rom after I've done that... what if I relock it and then unlock again?
2.If I find another guy with the same CID as mine with a HOX, can I somehow copy the files required from him? or maybe if he backups his device, then send it to me and I restore it on mine?

1) it'll "factory reset", but it won't flash the stock ROM bits!
2) somebody else's backup is the standard choice when RUU doesn't exist. There is a thread dedicated to this.

It doesn't have my CID .... But I can surely get one
1 last question about this.... if someone has never unlocked his phone or done anything to it, can he go to Bootloader Recovery and back it up? :3 If not, maybe the ROM manager app can do it?

Bump... please :3

Nope. If you have not unlocked your phobe then it is running stock recovery, and stock htc recocery doesnt support nandroid backups. Also you wont be able to use rom manager as rom manager itself works on a base of CWM recovery.

No unlocking the bootloader does not install CWM recovery, you have to do that yourself or with a tool !
Unlocking the bootloader only provides the privilege to flash modified parts to the phone

download this RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed relock bootloader and run this as administrator update your phone by official way from phone softwrae update to latest JB and then unlock again your bootloader and install custom rom and for CM11 you need latest TWRP 2.7 or latest Philz or latest CWM 2.6 I think.
your HBOOT is to LOW you need at least 1.39 or higher for this roms

All roms work with philz 6 but if you want latest AOSP based rom like CM11 or other you need the latest Philz to not geting any error. And the latest work with the Sense based roms to. You know the rules here I can't recomend ROM try them all and take decision lastest AOSP is JB4.4.4 other sense is 4.2.2 it is your decision and don't forget to make nandroid backup before install new rom

Thanks for all your help Thant, managed to get Beanstalk up and running with a backup

How can it be SAME error ? Post a screenshot.
The earlier screenshot shows clearly that it needs htc_asia_india but your device has htc_europe
If the recovery is properly installed, when there are more errors, they should be different errors.
For example, an expected contents error.

It's not on about the recovery, its saying the ROM on the phone has the EU build.prop fingerprint as opposed to the one it needs

I see.. the system is smarter now. You have htc_europe ROM installed on a htc_asia_india device, do the OTA checking, the system will download htc_asia_india instead of htc_europe

Not necessarily. If the OTA was downloaded from HTC via the phone then the ROM is probably correct and the OP may have just changed the build.prop for some reason. We won't know unless they say so.

I asked for another screenshot after you flashed the 3.35.720.1 that I gave you the link before. It should not be a htc_europe problem anymore but maybe other errors.
You did fastboot flash recovery 3.35.720.1_recovery.img after you downloaded the recovery image, right ?

You're using the stock recovery from Lollipop, hence it saying LRX22C release-keys at the top. If this is the wrong recovery you'll get an error. It HAS to be the recovery that came with your build

Flash the RUU from the stock backups thread

[Q] Help me get info of my m8? Stuck somewhere

Have a look at the attachment.
I recently unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp and root the device. then flashed viper rom. i wanted to go back to stock. so i used ruu exe file but it gives model error. i would like to know which firmware should i flash? i am on s-on.
Also, i noticed that my wifi disconnects every night and doesnt reconnect till i reboot. i faced this on viper rom as well as skydragon. seems some radio issue and not of a rom.
The ruu file i used was : RUU_M8_UHL_L50_SENSE60_MR_hTC_Asia_India_4.18.720.8_Radio_1.24.21331147A1.09G_20.68.4196.01_F_release_417228_signed

Why do use the Htc Asia India RUU when your device is EU WWE ?

You have 4.4.4 that's why your WiFi disconnecting.
You need to relock bootloader - fastboot oem lock
then run the RUU in Administrator mode (Select run as administrator in right click)

I can tell you because you are on CID HTC__J15 you have the 401 firmware, which is the WWE firmware.

I'm used to the old one .. EU WWE - World Wide English .. now the new one is named as HTC_Europe only ...
The missing version-main is because you use the old version TWRP 2.7.x.x
Make sure to use only TWRP 2.8.4.0 or 2.8.5.0 or 2.8.6.0 and newer when you decide to use TWRP again.

Yep because that RUU will update your firmware to the latest 4.16.401.10 which is required to run a lollipop base custom ROMs ... should not have wifi problem anymore.

Flash a Stock 5.x with TWRP?

Hi Folks,
I've a HTC m8 on 4.4.1 rooted. I'm allover lucky, But for some reasons I wanna upgrade to 5.x
Is there a way to flash ist with TWRP to a Stockrom by HTC?
Thx for helping...

There is no 4.4.1 for the M8. The M8 was released with 4.4.2.
You will run into issues (broken WiFi, extreme long boot times) if you try to install a Lollipop ROM. You need to update the firmware (hboot radio, etc.), also.
Need your CID and main version to know how to proceed. Do getvar all, and post the results, being sure to delete IMEI and serial number, as these are personal data.
Depending on what CID version you have, you can either RUU to update firmware and install stock Lollipop ROM; otherwise you will need to restore you stock ROM (unrooted) stock recovery, then OTA to update the firmware and update to Lollipop.

Uhhh mam, all this just to give n7player the ability to access id3 tags on external SD. But I badly need to.
Thx for helping!

Ah I forgot to say. Due to freshly moved, I can't plug to any PC and can't make a getvar. Sry.

So it looks like you rooted on Android 4.4.3 (software number 2.22.401) and never installed a custom ROM? That sound right?
Does it say hboot 3.17 on the bootloader screen? S-on or s-off?
Depending on your answers the above questions, your options:
1) Restore stock nandroid you made before root (if you made one) otherwise restore the appropriate stock nandroid from collections here on XDA. Restore stock recovery. Once restored to "stock", install official OTA updates to bring the phone up to Lollipop. From there, you can flash TWRP back to the phone, and root if you like.
2) I think there is a 4.16.401 RUU that will work s-on (need to relock bootloader if s-on). That will get you on stock Lollipop firmware and ROM. Then you can re-unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and root again if you like. But be aware that RUU will wipe the phone, so backup any personal data you want to keep before RUU.

Glad you mentioned that. I originally thought you didn't know the difference between what you posted and getvar output, which would be pretty bad!
The screenshots provide some info, but not everything I want, therefore the additional questions above.

I tried yesterday a Cyanogenmod 12.1 by TWRP after Backup. Worked pretty fine. But after all I've been insure about how long it would take to build up a full functional place with all apps and data I already have and need and recovered my backup.
Your other questions I gonna answer as soon.
Edit: HBOOT 3.18 and S-On

Again, thx for helping. I decided to flash CM 12.1 and restored almost via Titanium.
Seems to be a quit good decision.
