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

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

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I came across this thread in my search, but the link in the first post is no longer active.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

If it is a true developer edition, you might try backing up, running one of the Developer Edition RUU's to get back to 100% stock, and then see if you can get the OTA update. If this was a conversion, make sure the CID/MID are correct (which requires S-off).

Then why did you state in the thread title and OP "stock"?
InsertCoin is a custom ROM and not stock. So you need to return to a stock ROM to install OTA.

Don't know where you obtained that info, but its false. S-off is not needed to install any ROMs.
If the phone is a demo unit, you should have stated that right away in your top post. On a previous HTC device (One X) I believe the demo unit was very difficult, if not impossible to make fully functioning. But no idea if the same is true for the M8 demo unit you have.

As I just said in my last response, you do not need S-off to flash any ROMs. If you want help, you need to start actually paying attention to the help that is being given to you. You are also making it very hard to help you, by not giving enough info, and just leaking it out little by little.
You say you can't flash any other ROMs, but that isn't enough information. What happens when you try to flash? Does it fail with an error message? Or flash successful, but doesn't boot? What other ROMs have you tried?
If you want to return to stock to receive OTAs, you will need to find and flash the appropriate nandroid and stock recovery for our CID. Stock backup collection can be found sticky at the top of the General section. There are also various guides on how to return to stock, if you need them just search.

Hello
My htc one m8 is the Asian version (HTC__044) , upon using getvar all, I noticed that my version-main was missing along with the os in hboot. If I were to flash a firmware, would I need to relock the bootloader? Would I lose my data on locking the bootloader? Also, im on base .401 , would I directly be able to flash a .707?
Thanks in advance.

If s-on, yes. Otherwise if s-off, no.
Also, be aware that with s-on you can only flash a firmware that is HTC signed/encrypted. Some are not, and require s-off.

How are you determining 401? From what I'm seeing, the stock software/firmware for your CID should be 707.
You should be able to flash 707 firmware (assume you want to update to Lollipop) on your version, provided the previously mentioned requirements are met.

Thanks for replying. I believe it may have been the rom ive installed that changed my firmware, along with the fact it writes .401 on my software information page. Yes the default firmware should be .707 which I believe is also the main cause of my inability to connect to 4g in my area.
So assuming I find a signed firmware for .707 I would simply be able to flash it on the .401? Or would I have to still relock my bootloader.
Also, would the empty os/ version-main be a problem and if so how do I fix it.

Flashing a ROM will not change your firmware. It does change software number, so if that is where you are getting 401 from, that is normal. Software number is just the base of your current ROM, not your firmware number.
Your firmware number is indicated on your bootloader screen under "OS" and also as "main version" when doing getvar all.

Are you s-on or s-off?
If still s-on, there is no way you could have ever flashed a 401 firmware on your phone. I still think you are confused between software and firmware numbers, and I don't guess that you ever flashed a 401 firmware.
If you are s-on, I still think you are on 707 firmware, and there is some other factor causing your 4G problem.
Yes, you need to relock your bootloader to flash 707 firmware while s-on. If you are s-off, you don't need to relock the bootloader.

It shouldn't be a problem. It will be fixed if you flash a firmware.
This bug was caused by older versions of TWRP. If you flash a current version of TWRP after flashing firmware, the problem should not re-occur.

We always like repeat customers, and satisfied ones.
So is it possible that I am actually on 707 but my rom is making it show 401? Im terribly sorry for my lack of understanding of this whole situation.
Would using the twrp app on the play store update twrp? It should fix the empty main-version ?

I know in the past, folks have often used the word "firmware" to mean the same as the ROM. But you should probably erase that notion from your mind. On this device, the word "firmware" is used specifically to partitions that are not flashed when you flash a ROM, and include hboot, radio, WiFi, Bluetooth, and others.
Yes, your firmware may still be 707 (which can normally be found as OS number on hboot screen, or main version when doing getvar all); while your software (ROM) which is shown in Settings>About>Software information can be 401. Firmware and ROM are 2 completely different things.
I've asked twice now, are you s-on or s-off?
wasdapple said:

TWRP Manager app will update TWRP, yes.
You can also just download the latest version and flash with fastboot, which is my preferred method: https://twrp.me/devices/htconem8gsm.html
However, this alone won't fix the issue of main version missing, I don't believe. It will only stop if from re-occurring. But the only way to get the main version back is to flash a firmware. After that, having an updated TWRP will stop if from main version displaying "blank" again. If you use an old TWRP, it will blank out the main version again.
Get it?
I'm sorry I kept forgetting to reply to that, I am actually s-on.
So for instance I want to be back on 707 I should just revert to rooted stock?

Than its simply impossible for you to ever have flashed a 401 firmware. Some of the firmware partitions (hboot, radio) are write protected with s-on, and can only be flashed with your CID version firmware (707).

Yes, rooted or unrooted should be fine.
But you will want to make sure your firmware and software versions match up. What are your hboot and radio numbers? Do you remember if you were on Lollipop before unlocking the bootloader?
My hboot would be 3.19.0.0000 and my radio is 1.25.21331147A1.06G
Yep I was on lollipop before unlocking my bootloader.

Not sure what you mean by "get back my 707", and you need to explain more clearly.
If the intent is to return to 707 firmware, its not needed, I'm confidant you already are on current 707 firmware. And flashing a ROM does not change your firmware (as I've already explained multiple times).
If the intent is to make the main version appear again, flashing a ROM won't do that either. As mentioned, you can only make that reappear by flashing a firmware.zip (not a ROM.zip).
If the intent is to just return to a 707 ROM base, then yes the ROM you linked will do that. But the only reason I see for you to do so, is to see if it helps your network issue. Using ROMs of other bases will not normally affect network service (as long as your carrier's APN is correct). And I've already linked you to stock 707 nandroid, which is probably the best baseline to troubleshoot from. Or are you not comfortable with the nandroid restore process?
Again, you haven't really explained what you are trying to accompish; so its hard to answer the question.

If the ROM is a similar enough base, it might be possible to dirty flash. But its not recommended, and still possible to have various severe bugs, or not even boot. Therefore, full wipe is normally recommended when moving between different ROMs (and often even major updates of the "same" ROM).
Any person flashing ROMs should know how to backup and restore their personal data (using Titanium Backup and/or other means) when moving between ROMs.
Sorry for my vagueness in my previous post. Currently in my phone settings, the build number is 4.26.401. , which is the base of my current rom? So supposedly if I flash an Asian wwe would I get my software base back to a 707 as in the link.
Also, you mentioned for me to flash my firmware as per my cid, which could be found in most firmware dumps? Would be it be possible to link one to me? And if I am in fact on a 707, do I still flash 707 firmware?
The reason why I an unwilling to go through with nandroid is that I am not exactly looking to restore to stock, I like to have customs roms and the root capabilities. My ultimate objective is to get back to 707, or at least get it to appear on my software information screen. To my knowledge, 401 is for the European countries and the basebands for 4g LTE is different, thus I am unable to find out why if I am s-on with my firmware and radio intact I could not connect to my local 4g LTE, and to my point of view, only through flashing a firmware affect everything.
Im sorry for this large amount questions and extremely grateful you have taken the time to tend to it. I sincerely apologise if I seem to keep insisting that my firmware has changed despite your reminders.
I've actually been trying to update the firmware on my M8 today as well, but when I go to "flashboot flash zip firmware.zip" I am returned the message "not enough space."
I've cleared the cache successfully, and that didn't open up enough space. I tried to delete userdata, but it wouldn't let me do it remotely.
So I'm a little confused as to my next move here...
and I've relocked my phone and s-on.

My ultimate objective is to get back to 707, or at least get it to appear on my software information screen. To my knowledge, 401 is for the European countries and the basebands for 4g LTE is different, thus I am unable to find out why if I am s-on with my firmware and radio intact I could not connect to my local 4g LTE, and to my point of view, only through flashing a firmware affect everything.
Im sorry for this large amount questions and extremely grateful you have taken the time to tend to it. I sincerely apologise if I seem to keep insisting that my firmware has changed despite your reminders.

Yes. You will get your software number back if you flash a 707 based ROM, such as stock.
So, here we go.
Download this 4.19.707.2 RUU onto your PC
When the download is finished, plug your phone into your PC, double click on the downloaded file, and follow the prompts. This will update you to Lollipop and you will be on the stock ROM again.
Since you are S-On, you will first need to relock the bootloader.
In fastboot (obviously) fastboot oem lock before you proceed with this.
Also, THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE, so be sure to backup anything that is important to you.
Is the ruu rooted, or purely stock pre-root?

I've actually been trying to update the firmware on my M8 today as well, but when I go to "flashboot flash zip firmware.zip" I am returned the message "not enough space."
I've cleared the cache successfully, and that didn't open up enough space. I tried to delete userdata, but it wouldn't let me do it remotely.
So I'm a little confused as to my next move here...
and I've relocked my phone and s-on.

What is your current OS number on the bootloader screen, and what firmware are you trying to flash?

Sorry for my vagueness in my previous post. Currently in my phone settings, the build number is 4.26.401. , which is the base of my current rom? So supposedly if I flash an Asian wwe would I get my software base back to a 707 as in the link.

If the intent it to return to 707 based ROM to see if that helps your 4G issue, then yes the custom ROM you previously posted will do that. It will also make 707 appear for software number in the phone Settings.

I was more talking "if" you can find the 4.16.707 firmware. The main firmware collection I refer to doesn't have 4.16.707, just old 707 firmwares (which you don't want)]: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282
If the firmware can't be found, the RUU listed by xunxholyx is your best bet if you really want to flash the 707 firmware. But I really don't think this is needed. As I'm nearly 100% sure you are already on the current 707 firmware, and the only benefit of flashing the 707 firmware (by RUU) is to get the OS number to appear again on the bootloader screen and on getvar all (which is really not that important).
On the other hand, RUU to full stock may be a good way to troubleshoot your 4G issue, especially if flashing the 707 based custom ROM still doesn't fix the issue. RUU is not just a stock ROM, but a complete factory image, complete with bootloader, radio, etc.

Yeah, they are hard to come by. I was helping a user here six to eight weeks ago, and told him I didn't know of any Asia RUUs. He came back the next day replying that he found one, so I asked for the link and gave it to Sneakyghost and Alex (from AFH) to upload to androidruu.com
They have a few that aren't common there, and are always looking for more hard to find ones. If you come across one, you could PM me or Sneakyghost to have it added. Always nice to have a good RUU repository to go to.
Hey everyone. I'm having a similar issue, and I don't want to start a new thread, so I'm going to add on to this one.
I've been on AOKP since it was released for this phone, so I've missed out on some OTA updates. Every time I try to flash a Lollipop ROM I get all these weird issues (WiFi not working, systemUI crashes, etc.), and after reading a few threads, I believe its an issue with the firmware.
I tried going back to stock, but the only Nandroid backup I could find for my phone isn't compatible with my firmware (WiFi refuses to work, only data). So I was wondering what else I could do to update the firmware. Reading this thread, it looks like the RUU is another method, but I'm not too sure how to get started with that, or which one to use, as my OS in the Bootloader and my version-main is blank.
Any advice is appreciated, please let me know if you need more info.
My Device:
Rooted
TWRP 2.8.7.0
S-Off
CID-TELUS001

First of all, flashing a custom ROM will not enable the phone to work on all carriers, as you stated. The ability of the phone to work on different carriers has nothing to do with the ROM.
Secondly, you need to update the firmware to be able to run current ROMs. This might be the cause of your SIM problem, but not sure of that.

The OTA will update the firmware. After that, you can install TWRP again, and the custom LP ROM of your choice.

And you have been told how to update the firmware.
You were complaining about the Mega download for the stock nandroid. I asked you some questions (that you didn't answer) and gave some suggestions (did you try them?); and now you are off on some other tangent (and likely one that won't work).
Stick to the methods directed to you by experienced members here.

and another possibility is the Mega site is still blocked in India (I know that was the case before). If yes, he needs to use VPN to download from Mega site.

What was your version number before flashing the Euro firmware?
If you want Euro firmware, its probably best to run the 401 RUU (and "fully convert" to Euro), instead of trying to run AT&T software with Euro firmware.

After RUU, the phone will be fully converted to a Euro M8, including the ability to receive and install Euro OTA updates.

You need to provide more info.
What RUU and where did you get it from?
What was the failure message in detail? Did any of the partitions install (if so, which ones? and on what partition did it fail?)? Or did it abort before any installation?
What does "phone died" mean? Did it go dark right after you tried to RUU? Did it simply run out of battery? Did you try charging it? Does the screen come on at all if you hold the power button for 30 seconds or more?

I have no way of helping you with this, if you can't remember the reason it failed.
The link refers back to XDA, so it may be okay, but I really have no way of knowing if it really is or not.
The same RUU from reputable source is posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Try running the RUU again, and note or do a screenshot of the error message(s).

Again, that doesn't really tell me what happened. No system means you were stuck on the HTC logo screen? Able to go into bootloader? No recovery at all, or back to stock recovery (red triangle with exclamation).

That is not the right version number for the AT&T version. Please clarify or correct it.
What you have now is a weird mix of hacked firmwares, custom ROM, etc.
So again, I think its best to do the official RUU to WWE (Euro) 401 "clean" fully stock baseline including all stock firmware, ROM, etc. Then see if that improves your signal problem, or troubleshoot from there.
