I'm selling my One X+ and need to return it to stock. I had a search of the forums but most info seemed to be out of date...
I have the latest firmware 1.17.401.3 and my HBOOT is 1.35.0000. I'm not sure if the fact I'm on 1.17.401.3 will cause a problem? There only seems to be RUU's available for 1.17.401.1. - does the fact my HBOOT doesn't seem to be up to date mean I can still go back?
I have installed a custom recovery along with a ROM so I'm guessing I need to find the stock recovery, relock the bootloader and then use the correct RUU? Does the RUU take care of the boot.img or do I need to reflash the stock one too?
I'm in the UK and the phone was originally sim free so no network stuff.
I have a basic grasp of what I need to do but if anyone could confirm the best order to do stuff that would be really helpful, don't want to brick it!
Thanks

are you sure youre on hboot 1.35? If youre on latest firmware 1.17.401.3 you should have hboot 1.40. At the moment there is no 1.17.401.3 Ruu available and noone knows if it will ever be or when it will be. But if youre on 1.17.401.3 right now you dont have to flash a ruu to get back to stock. You can flash the 1.17.401.1 recovery via fastboot and then relock youre bootloader via fastboot command. Your bootloader will never be locked as it was fresh out of the box if you had unlocked it, it only wiil be relocked.
Or are you one a custom rom right now? then you have to restore the backup of youre stock rom, which you hopefully have done before flashing. i tried the 1.17.401.1 ruu to get back to stock a few days after ive updated to 1.17.401.3 but i was on hboot 1.40 and the ruu wont work because downgradeing isnt possible with s-on. but if youre on hboot 1.35 you cann give it a try, no idea about it.

I know I don't get how the HBOOT hasn't changed, but that's definitely what it says in the bootloader, and the firmware I got from about in settings. Weird. I'm using the InsertCoin ROM, latest version.
I did do a stock backup in december, so I'll try that tonight and see what happens- thanks.

ah you are on insert coin thats why you see the firmware 1.17.401.3 because insert coin is based on the latest puplished software by htc and that is the 1.17.401.3 but this is only the rom your system as itselfs isnt on 1.17.401.3 because that would have happened only if you would have updated your stockrom via the OTA Update of 1.17.401.3 and only this will update your hboot to 1.40. So what I wanted to say is that your system and your hboot is still on 1.17.401.1 so you can try to use the ruu which includes everything boot and recovery or just restore your backup and flash the boot.img, the recovery and relock your bootloader and your done
I tryed all that a few days ago because im gonna sell mine too
and iwas on 1.40 and hat no backup that was a pain in the ass luckely someone on xda shared his nandroid backup of 1.17.401.3 with me

Thanks, I think I remember reading your posts in the firmware thread, the nandroid backup sounds familiar!
Cool, I'll grab the RUU - do you just relock the bootloader then run it?

i really need some help now. i have a gsm evo 3d unlocked up and running a custom rom (nonsense). now i want to return to stock, ive tried flashing the ruu for several times, but each time it says bootloader version error. so i guessed that i have to downgrade my hboot version from 1.53.0007 to something 1.49.007 or similiar. i just cant get it to work, neither with flashmaniacs way, or the manual way. in bootloader when loading the PG86IMG ist says version older update fail.each time i fail i reunlock the bootloader, so atleast i can use my phone. the worst and most foolish part of me: no nandroid backup. so i recognize my fault.
Do you have the newest ruu.exe for your region/carrier? Once you get it, boot into bootloader, connect to computer (should say fastboot usb), lock bootloader, then run ruu. That should put you at stock.

Hi Yeah I have had it relocked and tried executing the RUU but still no luck.
i have the exact same issue. reason is, last time i used the RUU to get back to stock rom, i used the phone on stock rom for a while and updated my phone to the latest build which updated the HBoot to version 3.5.000 but the currently available RUUs are not compatible with the HBOOT v3.5 so we have to wait for the new RUUs
problem for me is that i have sold the phone and didnt want to send the phone out with a custom rom but time is running out im afraid.

So I have to wait for newer RUU to come out for my HBOOT. Thats not too bad if thats all it is.
I have the exact same problem with my O2 UK One +, does anyone have any idea on when these new RUU's will be available? is it possible to downgrade the HBOOT to an older version that will allow the current RUU's to work?
what about ADB sideloading a flashable .zip of the stock firmware? would that work (if we have a flashable zip) or would it kick back an error?
Thanks.
downgrade hboot works only at S-OFF state
OK, is that possible on this phone? it was on my old HTC Magic, although it was hard work!!!!!
no S-OFF at this time for tegra3
Ok, not looking good then, so is there no way for me to get back to a stock rom now? very tempted to recycle the phone and get another one.....

i have a solution for you.
i have a nandroid back up of my phone, you'd need to flash the boot.img in that and then use clockmod recovery to restore the phone to that nandroid and after that flash a stock recovery, relock the bootloader then use OTA updater on the phone to get it uptodate.
it takes a lot more work than just using the RUU, but they arent available right now, so that's what i did because i sold my phone so wanted it to be back to its original state for the new owner
i have the exact phone, mine was locked to O2 as well. i bet you bought it off that guy on ebay for £400?
pm me if you are interested and i will upload the stuff for you.

I accidentally missed a step when flashing a custom ROM onto my HOX+, and now it hangs at the HTC quietly brilliant screen every time. I know that all I need to do is re-lock the bootloader and use the most recent RUU, but I cannot get my computer to detect my phone to re-lock the bootloader. Is there another way to re-lock the bootloader? If not, what should I do?

I need to get back to the latest stock update for the rezound. I'm on the infection ROM right now and just need to get back to the latest rezound ota. Are there any ota ROMs w root out? I dont want to have to re root again but I wanna be back on the latest ota w/ just root. Also, will I need to lock my phone again to do this?
One last thing, how can I update to the latest firmware/ hboot/kernel/radio etc. Pretty much want to return to the latest ota leak for the rezound even if its not official and then I'd like to update my hboot,radio, kernel, etc to the latest out.

Follow the instructions in this post:

That will get you updated to the latest and back to stock.
Then you can unlock again, flash a recovery and reroot and remain on stock ROM with a custom recovery and rooted.

What hboot/radio level are you at now?
For a good Sense 3.6 rom, I'd suggest Ineffabilis Deus v1.2, gives you that stock feel with tweaks available.
You can run the global RUU from here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ You will need to re-lock if you are s-on.
You can run NilsP Business Sense 3.6 if you want a mostly stock ROM without bloat. I'd suggest restoring a nandroid from the OTA if you have it (I don't keep many nandroids, but that ICS OTA is the one I kept).
Here is the stock ICS OTA: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...cream-sandwich-ruu-for-final-ota-3-14-605-12/ You will also have to be s-off or re-locked to flash this.
Sorry if I've repeated information posted by anybody previously. That was never my intent. I just hope this helps.

If you are s-off your phone should say "locked" and you can just run the RUU. Running that updates all the firmware, radios etc... and so you'll be on the latest stock and locked at that point. Run it twice and let it do its thing until it reboots so it gets all the system files.
Since you are s-off I don't think you will need to unlock again, check what the phone says in hboot as far as *tampered* *unlocked* *s-off* etc... you should confirm that with someone who is s-off.
(if you still have the unlock token you can use it again if you ever need to. Keep it handy so you'll always have it when you need it. I keep mine in the folder I use on my pc for fastboot.)
After you unlock you flash a custm recovery and root from within the recovery if you want to flash another ROM. Or use one of the tools, I've never used any of them.
I think you're good with this RUU for jb. It's the latest and I don't think anyone has anything later than that. I don't use a jb ROM so you may want to confirm that with someone who does.

You're s-off. Going s-off relocks the phone because s-off is better than unlocked. You can just flash the RUU.
I recommend against unlocking once you're s-off, because if you try to relock it yourself outside of the s-off process, it will say "relocked" instead of "locked. You can either flash a recovery through a PH98IMG.zip, or you can flash a hex edited hboot to allow extended fastboot commands.

OK so I just ruu and it will bring me back to stock. I then flash amonra 3.16 using the IMG.zip to get recovery on my phone.
(how do I flash the zip since recovery will not be on my phone yet? Do I just use the rezounds recovery to flash it?)
Then once amonra is installed I now root by installing su and superuser from the options in recovery.
Is that it, now I'm on the latest rezound stock w root? Am i still soff too, I don't need to do the wire trick to get soff again?
Oh and flashing that ruu will update me to the latest hboot and radio, correct?

Yes.
If you just want to stay stock and rooted then just run the RUU, flash recovery and root. You should still be s-off and ready to flash a custom ROM if you end up choosing to.

As long as you have a flashable zip of AR 3.15 you're good. All you have to do is rename it PH98IMG.zip (make sure you don't name it .zip.zip) and flash in your bootloader. Here is a link for an already packaged recovery zip: http://www.teambamf.net/topic/3737-bootloader-update-recovery-files-amon-ra-315-and-cwm-touch/ No need to do the wire trick again. Yes, you will be on the newest hboot and radios.

I used htcdev to unlock my phone don't know why it says locked. Should I just go ahead and flash the ruu? Could you just give a quick step by step guide? ? But if I'm understanding you correctly I just flash the ruu, then i need to unlock my phone again with HTCdev then flash recovery n while in amonra i instill su to roor and I'm now on the latest ota with root? I don't want a ROM at this time. I just want the latest stock rezound with root and latest hboot and radio.

I was on the Inflection Rom too and S-off. I used the Hansoon rezound all in one toolkit. I reflashed the latest RUU and I ulocked again using my unlock code that I had generated on HTC. I flashed recovery and install supersu and now I am rooted on the latest RUU unlocked and S-off.

***locked***
vigor pvt ship s-off rl
hboot-2.27.0000
radio-2.22.10.0001r/2.22.10.0003r
few questions.
1. it use to say ***tampered*** right above locked. what happened?
2. how do i root now? do i just go into recovery>developer menu and select "install su & superuser"?
3. once the jellybean roms are fixed and all the bugs are gone im gonna jump back over. if i want to flash a jellybean rom, do i just go ahead and flash the rom? and will my hboot remain the same whatever rom i flash?
4. im just curious on how im s-off but my phone says locked?

Hey everyone. I've been on Neo's Infection 2.4. Wanted to try out Eclipze rom so I relocked bootloader, grabbed the latest ruu I could find, renamed it to whatever it was (PH98 something or other) and put that on my sd card. I rebooted into fastboot and it goes through the process of updating but then I get the error message. At the top of the fastboot screen it says hboot: 2.28. Is there another ruu somewhere that I don't know about. I'm downloaded a 4.03 ruu, is there a newer one I don't know about or am I pretty well screwed?

Hem... that's the current bootloader. Are you s-on or off ?

I'm S-On. I downloaded the PH98 file again thinking maybe it was bad, but no dice. I get the same error message. I can't get anything to boot. I was able to flash a recovery so I flashed Infection 2.5 but I keep getting stuck at the Android looking screen (yes boot.img was flashed in fastboot). I flashed a couple different ICS roms but none of them boot up. I figured if I could get back to stock I would just go s-off and be done with it but I think this phone is done.
Edit: Gave the phone to a friend of mine who is much better at this stuff than I am. Maybe he can figure it out. Thanks for the help
Hm, if you flashed the kernel you should be able to boot up.
If you're s-on and on hboot 2.28 there's no RUU as of yet you can run. There's a stock OTA ROM of the lates OTA in the dev section you can run that and see if that helps. You probably can s-off on that but don't take my word for it, especially since you're on 2.28 hboot.
I would make a nandroid before so you can always get back to that if needed.
If you really want to run an RUU you need to s-off, but confirm that it's still going to work on the latest OTA before trying it.
hey, ihave a htc one m7 on 4.2.2 android ice cold project rom and ive been trying to go back to stock htc sense rom but downgrade from stock 5.0.2 and I cant seem to do it, ive tried ota update zip files, stock odexed rom but nothing seems to work, I got the stock rom on but then the touch screen didn't work so had to go back to aicp. I also cant get s-off as ive got hboot 1.61 and cant afford to buy sunshine.
any help would be much appreciated thanks.
You need the RUU then. The reason touch won't work is because the firmware is not matched to the OS. This is a common HTC thing. You have to find the RUU that corresponds to your carrier or region as well as being the same or newer than the firmware you are on now since you are S-On. You must relock your bootloader to install the RUU while being S-On as well.

could you help me find then compatible RUU please? I don't know what one id use. I was hoping to downgrade from lollipop but I don't think ill be able to.
ive went back to the os that didn't work with touch and am going to do and ota update, but how would I get my device to allow ota updates again? do I have to put the recovery back to stock as well as relock bootloader or is there more to it?
You'll need fastboot to make sure you are getting the correct version. If you do not have it, get it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 then boot to the bootloader and run this command:
fastboot getvar all
Post results but remove your IMEI and serial number.
You definitely can not downgrade while S-On. You won't need to worry about OTAs as the RUU will do everything for you. If you do want to enable OTAs after you get everything matched up, then yes, you would need to leave the system and the recovery stock.
would there be anyway for me to downgrade then? ive tried flashing other firmware and so far I might have got it, I just need to wait for my phone to charge till I know
You can flash an older rom, but a true downgrade with everything matched is not possible while being S-On.

what rom could I flash?
How could I know without knowing which M7 you are using and what firmware is on it? I've already provided instructions for what was needed for additional info.
