[Q] How to restore to original HTC OS?

Hi guys, i was just wondering how do I restore my htc one x to its original os? I mean, currently it is running cynanogen mod9 and I have no idea how to restore it. When I got the phone, it's already running cynanogen. the version i saw from my phone is 1.29.707 so I downloaded RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.29.707.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260743_signed
and I tried to install it but i always get an unknown error. any ideas on what I should do?

Did you relock your bootloader ?

Hi ....one thing I have learned ...is to make backups of the device before making any changes

you should download ruu for your device: in that case you downloaded asian ruu, if you're in asia it's ok, then you must relock bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" command from cmd, and then try to flash it, if no luck, try again but be already in bootloader.
and, your hboot must be lower/the same as in ruu, you can't downgrade: so if you have 1.29.707.11 or lower is ok, in other case download another ruu. you can see from bootloader the hboot version

I've been wondering how to do this as well assuming you don't make a recovery image backup. I assume you just search for the RUU for your country.

Thanks for the replies guys, I just have one more question, if I relock the boot loader, is there a way to unlock it again in case I do something wrong? Won't it give me a bootloader loop? Thanks.

in addition to this guys,
this is what i see on the hboot bootloader

and I don't have any backup of anything since when I got my phone, it's already running on cyanogen mod9.
Thanks so much for all your help, I appreciate it.

Just check the actual version that your device has.
How to, see : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32070413&postcount=3
If it is 1.29.707.11, then go for the latest version : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30906073&postcount=1852
And yes, you need to relocked bootloader in order to run the RUU, and run it in fastboot mode.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714 on how to.

THANK YOU SO MUCH guys, I've finally done it. I appreciate all your help. Thank you. :laugh::good::victory:

[Q] I need to go back to stock ROM but have no idea how

Hello all. I am a complete novice at Android phones. I have a Desire HD which I bought from a friend about 18 months ago who had installed CyanogenMod on the phone. I am now moving to Giffgaff and need to unlock the phone. I got an unlock code based on the IMEI and when I enter it, despite it saying network lock successful, the sim continues as unregistered and each time I reset the phone it asks me for the Network Unlock code again. I am told it is because of Cyanogen and I need to go back to the start.
Here is all the info I have:
Android Version : 2.3.7
Kernel Version : [email protected] #1
Mod Version : CyanogenMod 7.1.0-DesireHD
Build Number: GWK74
I have tried to follow a number of guides on this site but something always goes wrong and if I am honest I don't really get what I'm doing. I downloaded an .exe from StockRoms and that looked like it was going well but then died at the end with no specific errors.
Can anybody point me in the right directions as to how to achieve this?
Thanks!

I don't know - sorry - how do I know if I am S-OFF.
I think i have an unlocked Bootloader - I have ROM Manager that has been booted into recovery mode a few times while I've been trying these things. Again how can I know for sure though?

Boot in hboot and find it out....power off the device and then boot by pressing power + volume down

Sorry I could have googled how to do that before posting - my apologies!
It says this:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0027
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot
Am guessing this means I am not S-OFF?
I did see this screen before when I tried to use the Simlock feature. It says this when runs:
FAT32 init OK
OPEN MCCMNC file fail
Open CID file fail
Process done, reboot device?
Of course the process is not done.

With an unlocked bootloader you won't be able to flash a RUU. Besides you need a RUU for your device and not any RUU. If not, you will need a goldcard.

Is it possible to lock my bootloader? Is that a stupid question?
I have found the "right" RUU here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
Is there anything I need to do to make this work? S-OFF maybe?

Yes, it is possible to lock your bootloader. S-Off is no longer available; AAHK, the tool to get it, was retired this morning.

Thanks all, I sense that this could be tricky overall.
Perhaps a different approach is needed - is there another way to Sim Unlock the phone?

[Q] Unable to enter recovery after using dd install method

Good day all,
I am unable to get into my TWRP recovery, have read through the forum and tried a couple of methods but still not able to get into recovery.
Below the series of events that led to this happening.
27/5/15
-wanted to install CM12.1 but needed to update my TWRP as it prompted me to have an updated version.
[backup my rom into my ext_sd card
-went to TWRP web site ( https://twrp.me/devices/htconem8gsm.html ) via computer and used the dd install method.
-believe it to be successful thus went for a recovery reboot but learnt that I was unable to get into recovery mode after waiting 30+ mins at the 'enter recovery mode' screen.
-tried to factory reset but was unable to factory reset as was unable to enter recovery.
28/5/15
-googled more and tried a few more methods.
-Tried to use a toolkit to get my CID and version number but saw I did not have the version number which was blank and read that countless others are also facing the same problem.
CID = HTC__004
-wanted to unroot and revert to stock rom but unable to get into recovery to flash the stock rom i downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376&highlight=version-main
-Tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2727831 (RUU to install twrp) --> the bootloader just seems to hang at the loading of the RUU file and can't get to phrasing it after 30mins of waiting.
-force to reboot phone via pressing power button and now my phone has a error saying 'system uids inconsistent', which i pressed feeling lucky to continue using.
Tried updating twrp via playstore app which still made me unable to enter recovery.
29/5/15
-nearly giving up hope

Managed to clear cache and install 2.7.2 twrp and now able to go into recovery.
However, believe I woulkd require twrp 2.8.0 and above to flash cm12.1 and the gapps as I am getting an error when trying to flash cm12.1 nightly in my current 2.7.2 twrp that says that I am unsuccessful.
Tried to update twrp via their app this time and seems to be unable to get into recovery again.
Had cleared cache and installed twrp 2.7.2 again and now awaiting your further assistance in updating my twrp.
Thanks!

Your hboot is the original that came with the phone/4.4.2
You definitely need to update. I would recommend not just your hboot but the whole firmware package. And what you listed as firmware isn't firmware, it's your ROM.
Boot into bootloader, and post the readout from it here. I, or someone else here, will be able to direct you on how to update it with that information.

Another Canadian, eh?
Bell doesn't have any RUUs, unfortunately. You will need to use Sunshine to gain S-Off and switch to superCID to flash firmware, or go back to stock and take the OTAs that Bell provides.

I was guessing from your radio version. Y
Your OS was blank, which would have gave me the proper firmware/model you were on.

HTC One M8s - com.android.systemui

Sorry for posting in the M9 section when I have an M8s but I thought you still may be able to help with my issue. A couple of days ago my phone developed an problem where it stated that com.android.systemui has stopped unexpectedly, initially this went after pressing 'ok' a couple of times but now it's just stuck in a loop and reappears every time I press ok. I've looked online and followed the recommendations of clearing the partition cache and booting in safe mode, i've even done a factory reset but this still hasn't cured it. Does anyone know where I go from here? the phone is now unusable with the constant prompt, I only got it in September and have no idea what has caused the fault. I'd like to just install fresh firmware on it via my laptop but not sure how/if this is possible. The phone is on EE if that makes a difference.
Thanks

HTC One M8 always starts into bootloader

Hello guys,
I'm pretty new to the forum, thats why I'm not sure if theres another topic as this one.
Anyway I've bought an HTC One M8 from a guy on the internet. Well, I've received it today and tried to start it. The first thing after the HTC-Boot-Logo is the Bootloader. I've tried to factory reset the phone - didn't help.

I appreciate any help, thanks in advance!

Post the results of fastboot getvar all here and we should be able to figure out the proper firmware/RUU for you to flash. Edit out your IMEI and serial# first before posting it.

Stuck in fastboot is the expected result after relocking the bootloader, as it expects RUU to be run.
Provide the getvar details requested by xunholyx in the previous post, and we can direct you further.
If no RUU for your version, the other option is to unlock the bootloader again, install custom recovery TWRP, and restore a stock TWRP back (or alternately a custom ROM).
But we need more info in order to determine which way forward, what files to use, etc.

run the ruu maybe this can fix your problem . if you flashed ruu and still facing the same problem maybe its your phone battery problem or board issue try to put it on charge then try to turn it on again .

The advice (run RUU, if his version has one) has already been given. It's not value added to give that advice again, until we have more info about the device (getvar data already requested twice); since the OP gave basically zero specific details.

Okay, I tried to flash TWRP and to unlock the bootloader again. nothing worked. And if I want to get more information with getvar there is nothing showing up - it's just loading forever... So I decided to change the Motherboard of my HTC, and well.. Now it doesn't work anymore... But still: thanks for trying to help guys!

Wow, you were probably not justified in trying to replace hardware; and probably an overly hasty decision. It was probably a fairly simple matter to recover via software related solutions. You probably were just not following the steps correctly.

Too late now, it looks like you ruined the phone. But FYI, you can't flash TWRP with a locked bootloader; it's simply impossible. So unlocking the bootloader should have been your main focus.
Fastboot not connecting is usually an easy matter to troubleshoot. Usually a matter of drivers on the PC, or a different cable, different USB port on the computer.
You also can't unlock the bootloader without fastboot. So that was probably the reason why your attempts to unlock the bootloader failed. Again, it probably would have been easy to get fastboot working, then either RUU (after giving us the getvar info); or unlock bootloader and install TWRP.
But probably too late for any of that, now.
