if you can get into fastboot you can relock the bootloader and should be able to ruu, also belongs in General, not development

You didn't read OPs on roms. You're using the wrong firmware. Lock your phone. Flash ruu as already stated. And yes wrong section but I would think this should Q&A

he can flash the boot.img if he has the wrong version rom but it will boot regardless
the wifi and stuff just wont work with the wrong kernel
the best bet is to move the thread to general
and relock

make sure you dont flash the 1.85 with att cid...

thanks!!!
I flashed the boot.IMG from the 1.85 ruu A's I was using cleanrom 2.1 and he stated that you needed to be on 1.85 and I wasn't. It worked thank you all. If I relock my bootloader will I have any problems doing a 'factory reset' straight from the phone, because it will know it's not a stick Rom or will that work ok? You guys are the best thank you!!!

[Q] Relock, RUU, Start Over?

Hi everyone,
I feel kind of bad for asking such a generic question like this, and I assure you that I have read around and done my research, but before I do potentially dangerous, irreversible, things to my device, I just want to make sure that I will perform the necessary steps correctly.
Basically, I have owned my HOX since launch date, and it came with either 1.73 or 1.85 base. As such, I rooted and unlocked the bootloader as soon as the exploits were available, and have been comfortably flashing ROMs and kernels every since. However, I have been experiencing some issues with data connectivity and stuff, issues that remain with any ROM, kernel, or radio that I flash. The details aren't important...
Now, I want to basically "start over" with my HOX. As if it was a brand new, unmodified, fresh device. So basically, unroot, relock bootloader, RUU, etc... And then start all over, root, unlock bootloader, install recovery, etc.....
Basically, what exact steps do I need to take to accomplish the "starting over"? As in the methods to use, the RUU to use, etc... ?
An outline of the steps, basically. My biggest fear is restoring to the wrong thing and losing my old HBOOT.
Again, I know this question probably gets asked often, but please bear with me through this.

I ruu'd my wife a and it was about 3 weeks before att sent her the next update lol. As long as you don't accept it you'll be fine. I'm sure you'd prolly root as soon as its finished anyway..
But you got it right. No need to unroot, just fire up fastboot and enter "fastboot oem lock". (Without quotes)
Figure out which ruu you need, most likely 1.85. Make sure you have the right HTC drivers updated, and make sure HTC sync is working right. Download ruu, which is an executable application, and run it. It should factory restore your phone like the day you bought it.
As far as restoring to the "bad" hboot, it shouldn't let you complete an ruu that's for another firmware other than what you had on it when you got root... So you'll be safe. Good luck bro, come back and let us know how it went :thumbup:

So basically relock the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" , and then RUU, and I have a fresh new phone?
And for determining which RUU I need, either 1.73 or 1.85, if I try running the wrong one, it will stop me?
And since I'm still on the older HBOOT with the older initial base, root and unlock the same way I did originally?
And also, once I relock my boot loader, should I immediately RUU?
So a full outline would be:
Connect phone to computer ( with drivers and all)
Boot into fast boot
Relock bootloader with command
RUU
Let phone boot
Re-root
Re-unlock bootloader
Install recovery
Flash ROMS!
?
And just because it's been forever since I've done it, what are the steps again for RUUing? Do I need to boot the phone into any special mode? Or I just connect the phone to the PC and run the RUU?
And after I relock the bootloader, will the phone reboot out of fastboot or anything? Or should I go immediately from the relock phase to the RUU phase?
Thanks

And just because it's been forever since I've done it, what are the steps again for RUUing? Do I need to boot the phone into any special mode? Or I just connect the phone to the PC and run the RUU? - Connect to pc in fastboot usb and run it from there.
And after I relock the bootloader, will the phone reboot out of fastboot or anything? - Nope, it'll stay in fastboot unless you reboot it.
Or should I go immediately from the relock phase to the RUU phase? - That makes things a little faster

Yep.. Run it from anywhere, as long as your computer recognizes your device let us know how it goes

Ok, thanks a lot.
I don't have a PC with me right now (mac user) but once I get the opportunity I will go through with this. Thanks again!

Im hoping this thread may help me to solve my problem (I'm a total noob too lol)
I rooted and flashed a Rom on my HTC One S, and I had the same issues as OP
Im with Fido, but I was told that both Fido and Rogers use the same RUU
Trying to go back to stock, I relocked the bootloader.
1. then I ran the RUU (found a tutorial online), but I got an error message (155: wrong RUU or file cant be larger or something like that)
2. then I tried an alternative method : extract 2 files from the RUU, move them to another folder and from there run a cmd; didnt work either
(By the way, in method number 1, I also had to flash a recovery file (stock recovery) during the bootloader unlock process)
Did I do it the right way?
Can some Senior member give me a detailed step by step method?

Why do you keep posting HTC ONE S questions in our HTC ONE X forum? What is wrong with using the correct forum?

Hey what do you know :laugh:

I have tried to do this multiple times, but no matter how many times a run the 2.2 exploit, and flash the unlock code bootloader continues to say relocked? any ideas

Yes, you need to check your pm. You need to hard reset the device. Hold power until device reboots, capacitive keys will flash during the process. Then run the unlock and you're device will unlock. I spent a full day to figure this out... Lol

anyone happen to have a link on how to reset your phone back to factory defaults? i've had too many issues with roms, and my wifi, and as i use it for work, i cant have this happening.
I didn't back up the factory ROM before i started flashing, does that mean im pretty much screwed?
I have Hboot 1.14

If you want to reset to stock just run the ruu like the poster above is trying to do.

Nobody answered his question about if he needs to find a RUU specific to his device. I've been looking and can't find an RUU specific to 1.14, and I dont want to chance bricking my device.

scroll down to the stock ruu section and look up the firmware 2.2 not the hboot 1.14

Well, I'm the OP, and I ended up figuring out what RUU to use, which was 1.73. Basically, I ran 'fastboot oem lock' , then ran the RUU right afterwards, then booted up and ran the root exploit, rooted, and then ran 'fastboot oem unlock' using my old Unlock.bin file that I had from the very first time I unlocked the bootloader. From there, I installed a custom recovery and was good to go.

Yah, if your using 2.20 firmware, run the below link, works like a charm. Must make sure you re-lock the bootloader before, or it will error out. Just hold down the power button until it turns off if this happens.

I did this, but my phone never boots. It just stays at the bootloader after i run the RUU. Any ideas? :/
Also, i get the "this build is for development purposes only" message under the HTC logo before the phone enters the bootloader.
EDIT: managed to get the bootloadr unlocked again via HTCDev.com and flashed recovery and ROM. Guess Im not starting fresh after all lol

stuck at BL all ruu failed

I decided to downgrade to 1.85 for a fresh start after downgrading hboot to 1.09.000. 1.85, 1.73 RUUs failed and im trying 2.20 as we speak :// if this fails what are mmy options?
thanks

Did you relock the bootloader?

You don't need to run an ruu.... you downgraded your boot loader so just go on to flashing ROMs
You can flash the old radios and you should be set

Can only boot to bootloader and all RUU failed
I am in a bit of trouble at the moment. I will try to describe what I have done to end up where I am now.
I have a Telstra HTC One XL. Recently upgraded an already unlocked, rooted HOXL to JB using the OTA update (big mistake I know now). This upgraded the hboot to 2.14 and software to 3.17.8xxx.
Spent a lot of time trying to re-root. TWRP didn't work (no touch response). So I eventually found the Interim CWM Recovery (no touch) by Modaco. This seemed to work well and I managed to root the phone.
Then i followed the instructions to flash to KingBeatZ 1.2.0 ROM. Booted fine but had no touch response too.
So I wiped KingBeatZ 1.2.0 and went for the nightly CM10. Again, booted fine but no touch response.
OK, so I figured I should just go back to my restored data. Tried that but apparently no restore data (didn't realise a wipe wiped the restore data as well, what is the point of that?)
So I decided to wipe CM10 to try flashing the Stock Rooted Telstra ROM by pablo11. This wipe however seems to have wiped incorrectly and this is where my real problem begins. I can now only boot to BL and Recovery. I cannot mount the sdcard so I have no way of pushing ROMS to my phone. I have tried a Telstra RUU and the latest Asia one. About to try the 1.89 Telstra RUU but I don't think that will make any difference. The setups do not detect an existing version on my phone, and all fail with Error 155. I have read that this error generally occurs due to unlocked bootloader so I have already relocked it.
I do not know what I should do now to restore any functionality to my HOXL. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can't run the RUU for a different carrier (CID), and you can't run an RUU for an older version. So neither 1.89 Telstra or an Asia RUU will work. You may be stuck waiting for the 3.17 RUU (don't think its been posted yet?).
You might also be able to make your own RUU by sticking the ROM in the Development forum in an RUU package. I don't know the specifics, and haven't done it myself. But I think it was done for Rogers, which never had a proper RUU package. So others might be able to advise you better on this.

You would need the .img files EX: system.img boot.img
Since our ROMs aren't packaged that way it won't work.
There's a way to create the system.img but its beyond me, and I do believe if it isn't signed it will fail
The only thing you can flash in hboot by ruu without s-off without being signed would be a boot.img
I would suggest trying to flash a stock ROM and a different kernel, or waiting for the ruu

[Q] RUU question

Going to RUU to 3.18 but I need to make sure of some things.
From what i've gathered since I'm S-Off I do not have to relock the bootloader. But since I'm running Vanilla Root-Box do I RUN the RUU while in fastboot or do I just run it while fully booted up or do I wipe everything in recovery then do it through fastboot?

Yeah I'm all set thanks, I just needed to know about the fastboot thing. Already finished doing everything.

You don't have to be in fastboot to run the RUU. As long as the screen of the phone is on, it doesn't matter what mode (bootloader, flastboot, fully booted), the RUU will run. This is by design, as the RUU is intended as a recovery tool.

Ruu never works for me unless I'm in fastboot.
I always get a random generic error.

That's odd. I don't think I've ever had to go into fastboot to run the RUU.

I know that you can't get OTA with unlocked bootloader and rooted, and I don't think you can do it with a re-locked bootloader either.
OTA also failed for me with a "locked" bootloader, where i used revone to set the bootloader to Locked rather than Relocked.
The only way i've gotten OTA to install was to run the Att Ruu.exe to restore to stock. If i run update immediately after that, it works. If i do other things, like unlock, root, etc, the oTA fails, just the same as yours is failing.
If you want sense 6, the easiest way, from where you are now, would be to flash twrp 2.7.1.1 recovery, then install the stock sense 6 rom in the development section. If you're not on the latest firmware (hboot 2.22) then the path is a little longer, as you will have to s-off, then update firmware, then flash sense 6 rom.

Ok, thanks for the info.. I don't know how to find my firmware.. It doesn't show up on the About phone menu.. I've gone to the bootloader and it isn't there as well.. if it's the hboot, my hboot is 2.21.0000, meaning it isn't 2.22.. ;/
Also.. can you tell me what *** TAMPERED *** means in the bootloader? Right above *** RELOCKED ***.
And what is the 'Att Ruu.exe'? I don't mind having no root, no unlocked bootloader, etc.. I want the pure HTC experience again..
Edit: I saw that 'Att Ruu.exe' stands for the AT&T model.. the thing is that mine isn't AT&T.. mine is international, I think.. doesn't have any other branding or whatsoever..

Hboot was what i was referring to when i said firmware. Sorry, but i don't have any experience with 2.21 so i don't know what ROMs you can flash with it. If i had to guess, i would think one of the older sense 5.5 roms in the dev section would work on it, but i've never been on 2.21, so i can't tell you which ones with any confidence. I don't think any of the sense 6 Roms will work for you, but, again, i don't know for sure as i've never been on 2.21.
Tampered i think comes up when you use custom recovery. I don't know exactly what triggers it, but i don't think just flashing custom recovery does. I think it might happen when you use custom recovery to flash a ROM. It's just a flag and nothing to worry about. It doesn't prevent you from doing anything.
RUUs are executable files that can restore your device to stock. They are carrier and location specific, so you need to make sure you use the one for your carrier and location, if it is available. I said ATT RUU becuase I'm on ATT in the US. RUU files aren't available for every carrier in every country. If you are in the US on Att, i can help you with this. If you are somewhere else or on a different carrier, i can't.

Oh, that's a shame ;//
First - is there a way I can update to 2.22 ? ;/
Second - I mentioned earlier I'm from Bulgaria, which is in Europe. Isn't there an international RUU ? ;(
I've unlocked my bootloader again as I think found a way to make the phone S-OFF.. I just have to root my phone again as it's not rooted -__- I don't want a custom ROM download, I want the stock one with no modifications or anything else.. ;/

Sorry. I missed where you said your location.
To upgrade your firmware, you have to s-off. There's a post somewhere around here that walks you through using revone, which I've done and had success with. I think I linked to it yesterday, so look through my old posts. If you can't find it, I'll send the link later.
But, yes, you have to be rooted to s-off.
I don't know about ruu for Bulgaria. Try looking on the HTC website, or your carrier's website.
The stock roms in the dev section seem to be pretty much 100% stock. I'm not a developer, so I don't know that they are for sure, but I think they are created directly from stock, just modified so you can flash then in recovery.

I tried revone about a hundred times with no success.. I just can't get it to work. I get an error 'Segmentation fault (core dumped)' and that's it -__- I tried googling but with no success.. I'm now trying rumrunner but as I look at the command prompt, it most likely won't succeed as well ;/ Yep.. it failed, said ERROR: looks like device is not rooted AND lacks an unsecure kernel. su or FU!!
!
I'm rooted and with unlocked bootloader, installed CWM as well
Edit:
So I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...-official-stock-sense-6-rom-firmware-t2817921 .. I'm gonna try it out now, it's the same as my update, so yeah..

I got both of those errors and they were because i really wasn't rooted even though i thought i was.

Yeah, I understood that the hard way.. Tried so many things, nothing worked.. just threw my phone (on a soft place, but still) and won't deal with anything 'til tomorrow.. I'm just so pissed at the moment. The root that should work and has worked before doesn't work now.. I really don't know what's wrong -__- gonna do everything all over again and try to get S-OFF and attempt to fix OTA updates.. ;/

Sorry. I've been there before. If i have time, i'll re-set my phone back to factory, s-on and see if i can remember what i did to fix that error. One possibility was that i didn't have a ROM installed, but i don't remember for sure. I'll see if I made any notes let you know if I remember what i did to fix.

What's your exact status:
Unlocked or Relocked?
Tampered?
Which recovery?
Version?
Is there an OS installed or did you wipe?
