I saw his other post. He is on custom rom and doesn't have an original backup of stock rom, neither does he know the original rom version.

EDIT CIDGetter doesn't return anything on my cm10 rom. Use "fastboot oem readcid" from your PC while the phone is in fastboot USB mode.

EDIT2: @bogfather I seem to be dropping in uninvited. I hope you dont mind.
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
Are you referring to Toto, or me, 'cause you exactly described my case - custom ROM, without original backup of stock ROM, not knowing the original ROM version.

What are the options in case I decide to revert to some (not Vodaphone) stock ROM?
[HTC One X] eyosen:
I was referring to toto. AFAIK (and someone correct me if I am wrong), you have to return to VODA102 if you decide to go back to stock. RUU's read info from the bootloader, such as hboot version, cid etc. and do some checks before they proceed with installation. Unless you disable those checks in the RUU script itself, other RUUs will probably not flash.

Your other options would be installing ARHD, or maXimus ROM since they are the closest to stock there is. There is also a deodexed stock rom by showp under android dev section.
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
I see.

Thanks for the explanation, mate!

:good:
[HTC One X] eyosen:
NP. One more thing before you attempt to flash an RUU: You have to install a stock recovery first.
[HTC One X] bogfather:
No worries mate, you can never have to many people helping :thumbup:

Eyosens right about the ruu, you would have to use a ruu with that cid until s-off is achieved
[HTC One X] Toto519:
Got my RUU bogfather , but does it work even my phone is on JB and revert ot stock?
[HTC One X] bogfather:
It will work if the ruu you have is the same software version or higher than what you was on before you flashed the jb rom.
[HTC One X] Pipodi93:
I'm in the same position... My HOX TIM IT branded has a 1.29.901.11 RUU (I think... I saw this under Software information) but I can't find it anywhere! The question is the following: If I will flash a custom ROM, like viperX, that has a higher RUU then mine, when I need to go stock, for example for the warranty, I need the stock RUU with the stock ROM, or just the stock ROM with any RUU?
[HTC One X] bogfather:
The 1.29.901.11 is your software version, a ruu is the full stock Rom as if HTC were loading your phone for the first time.

Flashing a custom Rom doesn't change what ruu you will need to revert to stock, just look for a ruu with the same or higher version than what your stock software version is. Unless you have a s-off one x you will need a ruu with 901 in it (that's your cid).
[HTC One X] Pipodi93:
Oh, thanks mate! :) But atm, I can't find it anywhere, even here in the forum... What can I do? My only worry is reverting it to its actual status, so I need to find this RUU, after that I'll be quieter and I'll flash the viperX ROM... Can you help me?
[HTC One X] bogfather:
Bear with me, I'll have a look
[HTC One X] Pipodi93:
But is there another way to be sure that I can revert my HOX to its stock status? For example, if I flash the viperX rom, that has 2.17.401.2, will I be able to re-flash my stock ROM, previously backuped, with that RUU?
[HTC One X] bogfather:
i cant find that ruu either, if you ask in this thread someone might be able to find it

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1543604

if you do a nandroid backup after flashing a custom recovery (but before rooting) you could always revert to that to get back to stock rom, but then you would need to find the stock recovery as well to help claim on warranty.

it doesn't matter what software version the custom rom is, you say your on 1.29.901.11 now so thats the only version that matters. you can downgrade from a custom rom as long as your not trying to downgrade lower than what your stock software is now
[HTC One X] Pipodi93:
Atm, I can't post in that section, later I'll do it! ;)

So, for having a backup of my actual ROM, I need to flash a custom recovery BEFORE doing the root hack, right? The process will be "Unlock Bootloader -> Flash a custom recovery -> Nandroid Backup -> Root -> Flash a custom ROM", right?

For the downgrade to the stock firm, I'll need the stock recovery and the stock ROM, that I previously backuped?
[HTC One X] bogfather:
thats right, but you only have to root if your sticking on stock rom but want root access, if you flash a custom rom they come pre-rooted.

so it will be

1 unlock bootloader

2 flash custom recovery

3 nandroid back up

4 flash custom rom (but remember to flash the boot.img from the rom in fastboot first)
[HTC One X] Pipodi93:
Ok, now this part is ok for me! :) But the only wall between me and the custom ROM is that RUU... The only thing that I haven't understood yet, is the utility of this RUU... Can I revert to stock WITHOUT this RUU, but only with my stock ROM+stock recovery? Help me to figure out the function of this RUU, please... :)

How to un-brick Lenovo P770!

I un-bricked my Lenovo P770 yesterday!

How to do this:

1) Download and install "MT6577 USB VCOM drivers" -drivers for your phone

2) Open Device manager in your computer. Then "View" and "Show hidden devices" (do not close Device manager)

3) connect your phone to PC by USB cable (without battery, some phone with battery)

4) In device manager, in Network adapter (in my situation, after few second) shows "Alcatel single rndis interface #. . ." - it can appears and disappears!

5) When "Alcatel single rndis interface #. . ." appears click on this device Update drivers->Browse my computer...->Let me pick.. and here you should see "Mt65xx Preloader" if not you should find your driver.

6) When you update this driver you could use Flashtool v3->loading scatter file (you can find your android on needrom website. for example: P770_ROW_S110_130204_707WOW) -> check only PRELOADER and click Download

then connect your phone again to USB (without or with battery) and wait some seconds.

GoodLuck!!!

Hello, forum.

I have rather strange question. I'm thinking on it almost 3 days and really can't find anything useful on the net.

I know this forum as i often use its' materials to solve my other troubles with Android phones.

So here, i have non-standart situation.

We have Samsung Galaxy III S i9300.

The device is not rooted. And we don't have a PC here.

We'd like to root the device to change the USB connection mode from MT to UMS.

So, if anybody knows, how to root the device without PC (or mb, have some ideas)

Or anybody knows, how to change the USB connection mode without root's rights, then, please, share ur expirience.

Thank you.

We connect the device to the LG televisio (which model i don't know, sorry) and the television says "No device found" how ever, when i connect LG Optimus L3 (aka LG L3 E400), the television can see the filesystem and we can watch videos or listen to the music. The same with another Android phone, Samsung... i don't remember the exact model too, it is very similar to the LG, i just told about.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nico89b:
Hi! I know this is a well known problem and I try to read as many related topic i could find but I'm still stuck... Here's the situation:

I have a HTC Desire Bravo (european version i guess, I bought it here in Italy around 2 years ago), with definetely some overheating problems. I haven't use this phone in a long time, yesterday I turn it on and it start loading the Cyano 7 that was already install on the device. It freeze at the animation boot. After that first time it never worked again. Stuck with htc logo if I turn it on, sometimes does the 7 vibrate thing (which I come to the conclusion it's 'cause is overheating A LOT), sometimes it stuck on a reboot<-->htc logo loop untill I remove the battery.

I just want to make it run again, and maybe i'll send it to htc for the overheating, but first I need to bring it back to stock. Here's what I try:

- i flash the bravo downgrade by alpharev to bring the original partition table

- i flash a recovery, won't start (stuck with htc logo ec..ec...)

- I try the RUU, but it won't recognize the phone in hboot

- I try the pb99img method... it doesn't get recognize from the bootloader

So I am stuck with the Device in fastboot, can't get a recovery work so I can't flash any rom or ruu. If it helps, here's the hboot screen

Any thoughts?:crying:

OMG i made it work!! I put it in a plastic bag in the freezer for 20min and now i'm in recovery!!! I can't believe it really work:laugh:

I did some wipe and try to install the stock rom, just to make it work, but it's stuck on "Veryfying update package", and the progress bar won't go on. Mainboard it's already burning, at least now I know it has some hardware issues.

I'm gonna try downgrade it back to factory (s-on, unroot, all original ecc..) and send it back to HTC. Do you know if the warranty is still valid considering I bought it in november 2010 and i still have the receive ?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] TheNetwork:
So I turned my infuse off this morning for some reason (can't remember). And it wouldn't turn back on. No power buttons, no volume buttons. However, it does ATTEMPT to start when I do the download mode button combo. But it doesn't start IN download mode when I do the volume buttons + USB, no no, it either sticks at the samsung logo or boots but doesn't work at all. So I tried to take it apart to see if it was the power button (I guarantee it isn't, but I thought it might have gotten sticky over the past year anyway) and the screen/board wouldn't separate from the housing. So I gave up on that.

Anyone know what to do when your infuse goes full retard? I'd try unbrickable but I'd probably create a nuclear explosion.

Edit: Did get it apart. Definitely not the power button. It did have some swimming experience from several months ago but no reason it would die right now.

Why can't we update our devices directly? Why we should wait for samsung for example to update android to the latest version ?? And does anyone have away to update s6102 to 4.1 ?
[General Topics] devwithzachary:
Most devices (of cause not including nexus devices) are only maintained by the manufactures, they want to keep control over there devices, and often add extras to android (touch wiz, htc sense etc.). So they lock there devices down so they can add there on extras to new android versions before releasing.

Some times manufactures will drop support for older devices either because they want you to buy a new device, or they dont think the device is up to running the new versions fast enough.

Of cause most good manufactures let you unlock your device and install custom ROMs and thus upgrade yourself

Hi, this has happened twice now.

Once on Facebook, and once on the Browser I think :P

What happens, is it seems like someone (a robot with really quick fingers) keeps flicking my screen up, so when I try to scroll down the page, it goes down a little bit and then goes straight back up, so it seems to "bounce" off the top of the page.

I have to keep closing things, pressing home button/back button lots, close apps etc and then it will stop.

What could be causing this? I hope I explained it well enough.

[Q] What is Diffident between MIUI ROM and Other ROM (CM9 CM10) ?

Sorry for my noob question, but i really confuse .

Thanks...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
CM9 and CM10 look and work like original android. (ICS and JB respectively)

MIUI rewrote just about the entire user-interface and several of the standard apps to give a different user-experience, but MIUI itself is built on top of Android.

If you've tried CM9 or 10, then there's no harm in trying out a MIUI rom either and see how you like it.

If you make a backup in CWM first you have your phone back working like it is now by just doing a restore.

MIUI v4 ROMS are based on ICS so you use them with the nAa ICS kernel.
