Post the results of fastboot getvar all minus the IMEI and serial# (and MEID if there is one), and I or someone else here will be able to direct you to the proper firmware or RUU.

Before you download it make sure CID matches. Otherwise the install will abort.

How to remove bloatware
HI Guys
Ive read through the forum link above all 24 pages and downloaded the relevant Stock Roms, the original from HTC and the Vodafone one. Ive got a little confused reading through all the posts. To flash the original stock rom over my current vodafone branded one what steps exactly do i need to take. People are mentioning the unlock via htc dev in the forums is this required to take it back to the original stock rom. I didnt see any clear steps on how to get this done. Anyone provide any help. Ive flashed my old phone numerous times but at present am a little worried about using the htcdev way. I know the developers are working on s-off is any of this needed for what im trying to do??
Thanks in Advance
Gav
you don't need to unlock to flash an official ROM.
Best way is to grab the RUU file that is correct for your device and flash that way. Its a windows executable you run whilst your phone is connected via fastboot.
edit: that would bring you back to the vodaphone crap. whoops. disregard but yes you don't need S-OFF or unlocked blootloader to flash original rom

Hi Mate
Thanks for this, just a quick question then im currently running 1.26.161.2 (vodafones ROM) and i want to use the original stock one from HTC 1.26.401.2 can i just overwrite vodafones with this one?
Gav
I too am a bit of a noob and have a voda branded hox on its way to me. I was under the impression that although we may be able to flash stock htc hox firmware onto the device, we won't be able to it 'properly' because of no proper s off or boot loader..... Or something..... And therefore won't be able to receive any OTA updates afterward....
Or am I talking rubbish and we CAN actually nicely and simply flash stock firmware on and forever after have no issues receiving offiCIAL OTA?
Also gav I don't even know if any stock RUU exist yet...?

Hi Mate
Yes i have the stock and vodafone rom downloaded i got it on here from the developers section. We should be able to install these RUU updates as it doesnt require s-off or to use the htcdev method as least from my understanding.
Sorry to bump this thread, but I'm currently looking for the Original Stock ROM for the HTC One X.
I came across this thread in my search, but the link in the first post is no longer active.
Is there an updated link ?

Mate, first you must know exactly what are you looking for. There are numerous links around here with different versions of stock ROMs.
You need your phone's CID and main version.
Only after that you will search, download and flash the stock ROM that ffits your phone.

I've checked my CID (Using command - fastboot getvar cid)
My CID comes up as : None
I am currently on Revolution HD 7.x ROM and wanted to update to the new 19.x ROM
The problem is when I try updating the hboot, it constantly fails.
I've downloaded the "x.xx.401.x - World Wide English (WWE)" version
A friend of mine has a stock standard One X from Vodafone and JB was just pushed out as an update for her.
I want to try and restore my phone back to the original ROM for that purpose. (also helps in case of warranty)
Have had a look but cant seem to find the original Vodafone ROM anywhere.

Download CID getter from Play Store. It should help.
Also fastboot getvar version-main is important for you, too.
Do not try to flash incorrect firmware!

This is good news! You need main version also. Then, go and check HERE. There are explanations and files that will help you. Download and flash (as per instructions) nandroid backup that matches your version. Once that finished, you will soon get notification about available update. Accept it, and you will have Vodafone stok JB. After that, do what ever you want with your phone

How many times are you going to post the same thing over and over again?
You already made threads for this exact same thing twice that I know of.
[Q] Back to stock for HTC advantage
[Q] HTC advantage ?
And you also made the same post in the AT&T section as well
At&t 2.23.502.3 - 4.4.3 Bootable RUU - No PC required - Mac friendly
Stop spamming the damn boards because you lack the ability to read what people are telling you and/or can't make out a simple step by step procedure.
Just run the damn RUU, lock the phone go back S-ON and don't bother to customize another phone ever again. You're clearly not out to learn anything for yourself.
OP please only create one thread. I'm closing this as you don't need three.

HTC One M8s soft bricked, any help to fix it please?

Hi there,
First off I would like to say that this site is literally the best for getting information on solving htc problems and I said I'd give it a shot at asking for a little bit of help. To be honest this is my first forum post on any site and I would greatly appreciate it if someone could shine the light on this for me.
My girlfriend has a HTC One (M8s) and yesterday the phone began to freeze, crash and wasn't able to make outbound calls or texts although it was able to receive them? My girlfriend later had an interview and you know turned the phone off but after the interview she tried to turn the phone back on but the phone seemed to be stuck booting. I did tremendous research on this last night and it seems to me that the phone is soft bricked. I can access the phone's data using adb&fastboot to get the cid number and all that information. The phone is also not rooted.
The problem I seem to be having is that I can't find a stock ROM for this phone. I'm brand new to this as I never done anything related to phone firmware... I have read threads on how to flash ROM's and all. I can flash a zipped ROM but the phone gets a signature verification error...
Can anyone please help me on this one as we really need to get this phone back up and running.

If you're on Lollipop, you can use sunshine to unlock and flash away. If on MM, you have to downgrade to LP, and then use sunshine to unlock (this is a cost of 25 USD). There is a thread for the downgrade here in the Verizon forum. As for a rom, I highly recommend LeeDroid, as he makes roms for all M9s, and he is based out of the UK. For that, just go to the HTC One M9 main forum, not the Verizon forum. I'm currently running it and it is fantastic.
Edit: Sorry, totally somehow thought you were locked. Anyway, just make sure you have the latest TWRP and flash any rom you want, but you'll find more activity here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9
Roms based on stock (I recommend for stability, signal, and camera) are under "One (M9) Android Development."
Hi,
Thank you for your help .. i'm quite a beginner with this kinda thing.. firstly, the phone already came with TWRP 3.0.0-1 installed, do i need to upgrade that? and which firmware would i use please? i did find a list but forgot to bookmark it.
Thanks again

Here's the link for the rom which has instructions for for installation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/rom-leedroid-one-m9-v7-0-0-rc1-march-t3068468
I can't remember off the top of my head if your recovery is new enough (I believe it is), but here is the thread for TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3066720
If you don't feel comfortable rebooting your phone into different modes and doing some command prompt codes, I'm not sure I'd recommend doing any of this though. Make sure you do your research and read, read, read. Maybe even search YouTube for examples of people flashing TWRP and such.
thank you sending the phone back, will buy a uk version

Just flash the RUU i linked, it will bring the phone back to full stock, you will lose everything on the device so back up what you want to keep.
After its flashed you boot the OS and check in the settings menu for updates, that should bring up the Oreo update
I am trying to do the same thing. I watched the video you linked (thanks), but it is a few years old and doesn't seem to have any links to the RUU for my phone (651). Do you know where the stock RUU for 651 can be found?
I'm on Viper ROM (Nougat-based and discontinued) and would like to revert to stock to get the Oreo updates. If it helps others, the system settings give the incorrect Software Number (they give the Viper number). To get the correct one to identify your phone for the RUU process, you need to boot to download mode. It will there under "OS."

The video is still correct to use otherwise i would not link it here. When you know your correct and complete OS number you can search in the guides section. There are several very hot topics with specific firmwares and ruu's
Appreciate the response. I have the full OS number: 1.80.651.1, but I can't find a complete match. The closest is here, and its 2.51.651.31. Both are Sprint -- is that close enough?
