Tried every possible method flash boot.img and recovery from rom.zip of RUU.Then fastboot clear cache and relocked bootloader and then run RUU. Also i tried to flash system.img from fastboot but everything failed. Whenever I run ruu it gives me error 140 bootloader version error. I think the problem causing the same is that although I have installed ARHD 1.26 base rom my system image version is shown as 1.29.980.11 which is latest for my Optus rom. and I have only 1.28.980.10 version available on xda which is not installing on my phone. Can you get me 1.29.980.11 version for my HOX?

I searched on google for it but no one has uploaded it...
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
Method 1 will work ;)
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
Tried it but same result. I think the problem causing is that I dont have 1.29.980.11 base ruu available. I only have 1.29.980.10 available and that is why its not installing. May be if try to flash 1.29 base RUU it can work but i am not able to find it on xda .
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
No it won't unless the HBOOT is the same for both the 1.28.980.10 RUU and the current 1.29.980.11 release (which I doubt). Without the 1.29.980.11 RUU sdarshan10 won't be able to go back to stock without S-OFF
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
@EddyOs I got your point brother but i can't find 1.29.980.11 based RUU. This update was released by optus Australia in the first week of June and still RUU for the same is not available on xda. If you can guide me from where I can find it I will be thankful to you.
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
Worked for me... strange
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
Might be because you would have installed higher version of RUU over lower version and I have lower version RUU available to be installed over higher version ROM.
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
In method 1 I got can't open rom.zip (bad) error.
[HTC One X] Panchulo77:
Help need it

I have to send my HOX for warranty, (wifi problem) and i want to ship it stock to avoid trouble,

My Cid is : BSTAR301 and i cant find correct RUU for me, can someone guide on this.

I do have a nandroid back up of my stock rom, can i just flash it back by custom recovery and then flash recovery and lock the bootloader?

Is that possible
[HTC One X] TechXero:
Ok got a custom AOSP ROM installed n wanna update to latest HBoot but look at that I got S-Off n SuperCID :

Would flashing Stock RUU result in my device getting Un-rooted ? Loose CWR ???

Thanks ;)
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
lucky you, you can flash any ruu you wanna :p

yes, you will lose the CWR, and you will lose root.

but, if you wanna, you can flsh back the CWR
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
which custom rom you flashed? was your device s-on and non-super cid before flashing?
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
yeah, i have S-ON :( and non super CID,

i have the AOKP rom on it. now the HOX is with my wife.
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
sorry buddy by mistake i messaged you instead of the psychoes who got s-off after flashing custom rom.
[HTC One X] TechXero:
Well I bought it that way so... So I just install Stock RUU n this will update HBoot n stuff ? Sorry am an Android n00b ... Any guide ? And with S-Off would I need to unlock bootloader ? Using DOMINATION AOSP ROM ....

Is this latest RUU ? RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
Hey buddy did you do anything special? Which rom you installed and was your device S-ON and non super CID before flashing?
[HTC One X] TechXero:
My device was S-Off when I bought it so dunno ... and Is this latest RUU ? RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radi o_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe ?
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
What.... a user get s-off after flashing a custom rom ? Can't be ......
[HTC One X] TechXero:
I said I bought it that way it was S-off stock said it 3 times already!

I have the arhd 9.3.2, but when I root the phone I had 1.29 (hboot 0.95), so I can put the ruu 2.17? or do I replace the 1.29 and upgrade with ota?
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
you can do one way, or the other way,

both work :D
[HTC One X] TheCrouchingTiger:
How can i go back to stock

My phone is originally on o2 so there's only 1 o2 ruu available when I try to install I get error.... is it because i am using arhd 9.3.2 which is higher rom than current o2 stock rom and what's the work around???
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
the HOW TO is on post #1 my friend. try Method 3
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
Can you please upload 1.29.980.11 ruu ................
[HTC One X] leokan:
so i have a hox with htc__E11 cid and currently runing on arhd 9.3.2 custom rom. i just checked my hboot and it seems to be a bit old (0.95 to be exact). what should i do to update that? im not sure which ruu is for my cid. thanx for ur time
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
You can refer here if your rom is available .....http://www.filefactory.com/f/7cc7b2fbdd03c031/ pls check your software version for example i have x.xx.980.xx so look for the third three digit number.....yours phone is i think HTC dutch model...you can refer to first page of this forum....
[HTC One X] leokan:
thank you for ur answer sdarshan10. yes it seems to be dutch. my baseband is 2.1204.135.20 and the build number is 2.17.401.2 is that what i am lookin for?on the software number it just says ARHD 9.3.1 by mike1986 so im not sure if i am on the right path. do i need to get the exact number or if it's higher (newer version) it's ok?
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
your current build number is of ARHD rom. For flashing RUU you need to have system image version which would like 1.29 or 1.28 series number. I also have ARHD 9.3.2 rom . But while flashing RUU my system image version was shown as 1.29.980.11. So you can ask for the latest RUU on the link that I have posted to you. Plese note one think you can only flash exact number RUU or higher one as we don't have S-Off. I am also stuck due to that as I am having lower version RUU.
[HTC One X] leokan:
so basically i have to return to stock in order to upgrade the hboot if i am correct?
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
Yes when your phone will receive official update from HTC after flashing RUU your hboot will upgraded .......
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
I have one question i am having ruu file for 1.28.980.10....and OTA zip for 1.29.980.11. Now as i am not able flash 1.28.980.10 can i replace boot.img , recovery.img and system.img from OTA file in rom.zip of 1.28.980.10 and then flash it? should this work?
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
you have 3 Methods on the post #1, choose one,

why some ppl ask question that already answer on the FIRST POST ???
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
I don't know but I wasn't expecting this answer from you. If you can read earlier post I already told you none of your method is working for me ..in method 1 i can't flash rom.zip due to error. That's why i asked you above query....
[HTC One X] sumeshd:
It won't work as ruu is totally different then ota..

Ota has its own configuration of what to upgrade and how and all of the files in ota are part files which just upgrades the system incrementally..that's why ota is much smaller than ruu..

Why r u not able to flash ruu??
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
Because I have lower version of RUU available. I.e i need RUU for 1.29.980.11 and the available one is 1.28.980.10 only and when I try to flash it I always get bootloader version error because bootloader version was upgraded from 0.93 to 0.95 so installing RUU is getting failed with error 140 bootloader version error.
[HTC One X] sumeshd:
The RUU CAN'T be downgraded..always restore or update..pm @football specifying your exact country code like eg: en_fl and the ruu u want..he may fetch it for u..that's d only way..

U can refer to my thread where everything is explained : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1859714
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
I have already pm him days ago but haven't got any reply yet. even few peoples are waiting for it since months who have posted in his forum asking for that RUU. But hasn't been uploaded yet. I have question that from where this people get RUU file?
[HTC One X] raseac:

[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
You must have flshed higher or equal software version.

Can i instead of using ruu, restore an cwm backup of stock rom and then flash stock recovery and relock bootloader? Can i update via ota after this?
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
That's should work but remember to flash the boot.img from the backup via fastboot before relocking

Edit. If you don't need to boot the phone before ruu install then this probably isn't necessary but it won't do any harm
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
man,

i dont say to flash rom.zip ( that dont work)

you have to cook the rom.

than flash the cooked rom

-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

what is your RUU, i can cook it for you.
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
Noob question: I only upgraded the FW OTA before rooting back in June,since then I flash roms with upgrades(now on 4.0.4 thanks to Venom).

I want to know if I still have to use one of these methods and flash official OTA or I will see no difference in performances and speed?
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
There are 2 partitions that can only be updated via RUU or OTA; rcdata & hboot

Whilst not definitive, I have seen members posting that they have better performance after updating these.

The only downside of updating the hboot is that it's possible an S-Off exploit is discovered on the old HBoot that won't work on the new.
[HTC One X] sumeshd:
Just received 2.17 update yesterday..

It has gr8 battery life..

One thing I wanted to ask is there any way I can make Rom.zip from my current cwm backup cook it in kitchen..deodex & zipallign it and flash it back to phone??

Is it possible??
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
Thanks!

So I guess I will stay with updated custom roms for now
[HTC One X] H-KaN:
My CID is HTC_E11. Which rom I have to download now? I'm a bit confused. What more I can tell is that it's from Dutch. Anyone can tell me which stock rom I have to download?
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
You can check through fastboot command. Fastboot getvar all....it would tell you which version to install....I still think you can flash 2.17.401 version check football's thread for link to it...

Need Help ASAP!

Hey guys,

Before flashing a custom ROM I did a backup via Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 5.8.4.0 (I believe this is a nandroid?)

after this I flashed Boot.img and ARHD 9

but I have to return the phone to stock now.. I believe ARHD has a unlocked bootl image..

so my questions are.. how do I get my phone back to stock?

Can I just use the backup restore feature of Clockworkmod? or do I have to do things manually? (like boot img, stock recovery)

The attached picture shows the content of the backup.

any help is GREATLY appreciated since all other threads regarding this use different methods then the one I used.

Thanks for anyone who can save my life today ;) :good::laugh:

You have to read the tutorial. Use search button ;)

[HTC One X] benno4403:
I did dude.. but nothing is the method I am trying to do or I did not find it.

The simple question.. can I use Clockworkmod to complete restore my phone from the backup or do I have to do things manually? (like flashing boot.img, stock recovery, etc)
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
You can do it by bothway...when you will restore from nandroid backup your will still be rooted and have clockword mode recovery....when you will run ruu it will unroot your phone.....
[HTC One X] benno4403:
Thanks, is there a way to unroot my phone when using nandroid restore?
[HTC One X] dragonesdenano:
Yes, if the nandroid belongs to stock rom of ur phone, it will.

Enviado desde mi HTC One X usando Tapatalk 2
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
I recommend just backup your data and flash RUU this will bring your phone to stock condition....if you want to unroot your phone and flash stock recovery i suggest you download htc one x all in click application( you can search it on xda ) from it you can flash stock recovery and also unroot your phone......
[HTC One X] benno4403:
Okay so just restore nandroid and I will be fine? but then I still have custom recovery and root?

sorry for the questions but I want to be sure.. my phone is going back for screen replacement.

Thanks for helping me out here!
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
My advice is restore your nandroid backup...if you find superuser installed then you need to install stock recovery and unroot your phone using htc one x all in one toolkit its so easy and will do it comfortably................

Thanks you guys are really helpfull.
[HTC One X] sumeshd:
Yes..otherwise it will just bootloop..:p
[HTC One X] benno4403:
OOH GOD guys :( I am in big trouble now..

I flashed the boot.img manually (the one backuped from stock with CWR nandroid)

then I restored backup via Clockworkmod recovery.

Then I unrooted phone and relocked my bootloader.

Now while trying to install a new system update my phone boots and I get a very quick legal disclaimer.. then the bootloader menu shows ***Relocked*** ***Security Warning***

Im sure I have no root acces but when I try to do a system update with the stock rom it boots into the bootloader saying this

ANY help now is GREATLY appreciated since I was supposed to call HTC today for them to pick up the phone on monday :(

Thanks for ANY help here!:crying::crying:
[HTC One X] sumeshd:
Don't know y it shows that..maybe the Rom and hboot versions are different..ur best bet now is download & flash the whole ruu..
[HTC One X] benno4403:
EDIT: I only get the security warning ***relocked*** ****security warning*** in the hboot menu when the update fails if I try to update via stock rom --> system updates.. it takes me right to this after trying to install it. is there a fix for it or do I need to flash whole RUU?

and how do I do that?

I read a lot of stuff but do not want to mess it up any further! my cid is HTC__E11 (dutch)

Where can I find the right RUU?

and how can I flash it? trough Fastboot?

but im on some 2.17 bull**** update, so i can't use the earlier o2 ruu of 1.29 because my versions newer and i get 1.40 error

What are my options now? Trying to send this pile of **** back to o2 for wifi fix

Method 1 fails when i try to flash rom.zip in recovery

Method 2 fails when i try to flash system.img in fastboot

Method 3 fails completely on the ruu
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
Sorry frd you cant flash lower version...it can be done only if you have s off handset
[HTC One X] Fokas.:
Yeah i know that..question is how do i get back to stock now?
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
how many times i have to say this....

you can not flash rom.zip, you have to cook a rom on linux using the rom.zip,

i dont say to flash rom.zip, i say to use rom.zip to cook a stock rom, and than flash the cooked stock rom
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
Or you can ask someone having your cid to provide nandroid backup of his stock Rom....this may get you back to stock
[HTC One X] Fokas.:
Ok dude calm down. Not sure how to cook a rom anyway.

As for the backup thing.. I don't know anyone with an O2 one X unfortunately.
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:

Same as mine - you need x.xx.707.x. Run cmd : fastboot getvar version-main and that should tell you which one to use. If it returns for example 1.26.707 you can then either use that or any higher version eg 1.29.707 or 2.17.707 etc.

Help please!

Hi there,

Im really confused so sorry for the noob question. I bought an HTC One X (Quad core version)from an ebay store in hong kong. It comes with a stock rom but i dont like this variant of the rom as it has some lag and also when i hit the power button, it delays a bit and the screen fades in. There is also some added bloatware but it doesnt look like its carrier branded.

If i ran a stock European version RUU on my computer would it install that on the phone? I usually buy my phones from the UK.

I have not rooted, unlocked bootloader or nothing. Its like its brand new out of the box.

Please help

thanks!
[HTC One X] sdarshan10:
Download CID getter from playstore and post your CID here......then someone will able to assist you further......as far as installing europe RUU is concerned you can only do it if you have s-off handset...
[HTC One X] jcanchan:
Thanks for your reply. my CID is HTC_044

how do I know if I have S-Off and if I dont have it, is it possible with this handset?

Thanks you very much!

You can go to recovery mode and check the same....i think you don't have s-off because s-off handset have super cid as 1111111.....

[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
Your cid is currently not supported by the new hboot required to run the JB roms so you will have to wait until T-Mobile release a jb rom. To answer your question though, run the command fastboot getvar version-main and that will tell you which ruu you need to run. You can look here to see if your ruu version is available

[HTC One X] Skanob:
Just a quick question, does thus phone or the RUUs supports the "GoldCard" work around to hange CIDs..?

On a Desire S, we can change our CIDs or RUU to a different CID using the GoldCard method even if you are not S-OFFed. You can try to check our method on my sig below.
[HTC One X] nelsonw:
That's interesting. That's its for RUU only? Too bad, bc there isn't any JB RUU yet. But that's a nice tip. Thanks!
[HTC One X] Ambious:
Maybe you could use it to RUU to one of the OTA upgradable regions?
[HTC One X] Skanob:
That's what I'm thinking and about to do on a later date. Just had my gf's one x. Gonna play it for awhile.
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
No affordable gold card solution for the One X yet, and although it has been looked at previously there is some new focus on it. See here
[HTC One X] nelsonw:
Nice! Please share what u find! I can't format my sdcard now, so I can't test it.
[HTC One X] Skanob:
I may second this motion. I just realized the HOX does not have an MMC slot. Which the GoldCard primarily uses.

Not quite sure if the internal storage can be used..

I remember reading somewhere here that an OTG cable with a card reader might be able to pull it off.

Yep...I really think this is happening to me...I did flash the stock RUU once...without any problem...but now...I only got installing a StockRom...RUU doesn't work nomore...donno why...tried all tutors... without success
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
What errors are you getting? If you run the command fastboot getvar version-main what value is returned and is this either equal to or lower than the ruu that you are trying to flash?
[HTC One X] blankfile99:
Now is 2.17.707.3, I installed a stock rom and then updated...waiting for JB.

No need to try using RUU for now ...right?

Tks man!!
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
Correct, that is the latest available ruu for your region, so no need to also flash the ruu. The only thing to do now is to wait it out until the jb OTA is released.

Hi,

I just cant charge my phone. When i choose powerdown from fasboot menu and than when i put my charge in it boot up to fastboot...

I just don't know how to charge so it is above 30%

I hope you guys can help!
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
There is a batch file under the One X Q&A section that reboots the phone in a loop which apparently allows the device to take some charge. I however also recall seeing a post somewhere (I forget where exactly) suggesting that if you run the command fastboot oem rebootRUU and then disconnect your device and plug it in to the wall charger this will also allow you to charge your device.

If you are on the latest CWM Recovery and if you can boot into recovery that should also allow the device to charge.
