Help on how to restore rooted AT&T One X to stock - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hey guys. I recently purchased a used One X on the MP here. The seller let me know the phone is rooted and running a custom ROM. In my searching for how to restore it to completely stock, I've hit a wall and I need some help.
The only return-to-stock methods I can find are designed for rooted phones running the stock ROM. It seems there's a different method for a phone on a custom ROM? Maybe I'm just plain wrong, but if there is a different method, could someone point me in the right direction please?
While this isn't my first rodeo with rooting/unrooting, it is on anything other than a Samsung device. I'd like to start from scratch on this new phone so returning it to stock is the first step.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wrong section, this should really be in the Q and A section.
I'm assuming this is your first HTC device. We have something called RUUs, or ROM Update Utilities.
This is what you will need to do when you get your phone:
1. Download the RUU for 1.85 (found in the development forums)
2. Install the fastboot tool (google on how to do that)
3. Connect your device in fastboot mode (boot into the bootloader)
4. Run this command:
fastboot oem lock
5. Then from there start up the RUU's .exe file
6. Follow the RUU instructions.
At the end of the RUU you will have a stock phone with one exception, the bootloader will say "relocked" instead of "locked" as it does on stock phones. There is no way to currently get back to it saying "locked" untill we get S-OFF (security off, a "feature" on HTC phones that we are currently working on achieving)
However, your experience with the phone will then be 100% stock.

Sorry about sticking this in the wrong section. I'm usually better than that!
Thank you so much for the info. That's extremely helpful. This is my first HTC device and I'm feeling a little lost so far. Some things seem to translate across devices, but others don't (such as S-off…I could not figure out what that meant, so again, thanks for that!)
I'll have the phone in my hands sometime next week, so I'm trying to do as much research before it arrives as I can.

5. Then from there start up the RUU's .exe file?

Hello, I am also trying to install the factory rom on my HTC One X and I have completed step 4 in the instructions that you put up above. I am stuck on step 5. There are no .exe files from the download i got. These are the only files I got:
evita_readme.txt
evita-ics-crc-3.0.8-271616b.tar
So I am confused when you say to start up the RUU's.exe file
Your help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance for your response.

Help with restoring back to stock???

Hey Guys!!!
I've been looking around for a straightforward tutorial on how to flash back to stock.
If anyone could point me to the right thread that would be helpful, I'd would just like to set everything back to normal since I need to send the phone back.
I just want to know what the process is, like 1. Relock Bootloader 2. Flash Stock T-Mobile ROM 3. Flash Stock Recovery, something to that effect, so if any of you can point me to the right direction that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys:fingers-crossed:
!!!!!!--UPDATE---!!!!!!!!
So it worked everyone like a charm, so much thanks to baseballfanz, jdizzle316, and Senzune
So here's the breakdown on what I did, and again !!! This is for TMOUS and I tested with the 1.84.531.2 software !!!!
1. Re-locked the bootloader
- You can use the All in one tool from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604677
- Or boot into fastboot and enter fastboot oem lock
2. Reboot the phone, check everything is ok
- no need to go back to bootloader or recovery
3. Boot back into bootloader
4. Go into fastboot
5. Run TMOUS RUU, go through the process and then just let it run, don't touch anything
- I found it from this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1744177&page=3
- If anyone needs another dropbox link let me know
6. Once it's all set you'll be back in the bootloader and all you have to do is just reboot the phone
And again thanks everyone for the help :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Are you on stock but rooted ROM or a custom ROM?

I'm on Trickdroid like you are it seems, so I think that's considered custom no?
Just lock the bootloader and run the T mobile RUU
Use the all in one root kit in order to lock your bootloader(this can be found in the development section)
Once you bootloader is locked, download the TMOUS RUU, also found in the development section. This is an exe file you run on your pc.
Boot your phone into bootloader, then choose fast boot. Attach your phone to the USB connected to your PC and then run the ruu and from then it will take your device to completely stock.

Ok great
Now not sure if either you or baseballfanz have read anything about this on the forums, but I've downloaded both:

Which one of these RUUs would allow for regular OTA updates, I'm not sure if either of you would know but I'm just curious
Thanks again guys for you help by the way:laugh::victory:

You need to check in your settings which one applies to your device - at least I hope that's the way to decide which one to use. I have an RUU downloaded myself, just incase I ever do decide to get a custom ROM (waiting for a JB one which actually works). I found the proper one by checking which one has the same Baseband version, which in the stock ROM is found under About > Software information > More.
Since you seem to be on a TMOUS version of the One S, I believe it to be highly likely the 1.84 one is the way to go, as most updated to that version, including custom ROMs. You'd have to check that at Software number, I believe, if that's not altered by the custom ROM.

Yeah, I think you're right my build number is 1.84.531.2 so I assuming that I have to use the 1.84RUU, we'll see what the others have to say, but I'll be sure to keep you all posted once I run through the process.
1.84 is the latest and has latest radio
1.53 was previous version

[Q] Cannot flash Sensation with S-on and formatted memory!!! HELP!! PLEASE!!

Hello all, I apologize if this or similar has been posted ahead of time. I've have been searching the forums and Google for the past 4 days trying to figure this out. I'm lost...
Just to be known, I am not a "complete" noob on rooting/hacking phones. I am however a noob on this Sensation..
So a few days ago I got this phone. I had all intentions of running rooted custom roms. I've followed every turtorial I could find on it. I see there were two ways: Through SDK and the All-in-one kit v1.0
I tried using the SDK first... the problem I had with it was I would get a "failed to fetch URL"
So I would have to close down. Then after that I couldn't get "revision 5" to load up to tick on it.
Obviously it wasn't working correctly or somthing was wrong with drivers? I did install HTC Sync AND latest Java.
I dunno?
Next I went to use the All-In-One toolkit
Seemed better and easier. I went through the steps of unlocking the Bootloader - DONE!
Next I went to flash recovery.. Well I got stuck. It wouldn't load.
Well this next step is probably where I went wrong...
I was trying to move clutter off my desktop and was clicking on things... I happen to hit the "Stock kernel" button. Wouldn't be a problem except the tool kit is used for the HTC One X (although it is said to also be used for the Sensation). I'm thinking maybe I loaded thr One X kernel?
Basically, after that I am stuck on the HTC wite screen. I can get into bootloader, Fastboot, and now CWMrecovery (although recovery is giving me issues too. Can't mount USB and half the time wont run SuperWipe, will say aborted status 1 and sometimes 7)
There is current rom in the phone so I cannot boot into anything and I wasn't able to do "perm root" because of my accident.
I'm stuck and I've run out of options. Is it bricked? What can I do to get back to stock to atleast start over and get S-OFF?
I do have the OTA ICS update 1.27 if that helps.
Please, any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

Thanks for replying back so quickly! That is the actual thread I've been trying to follow. My problem with it is I can't get command prompt to work right? I follow the directions but every time I keep getting "not found" in the directories. Is it something on my comp I'm not doing right?

if you are trying to flash 4ext recovery then did you open the command prompt in the folder where adb and fastboot files are located?
if yes then did you have installed htc drivers?

big mistake that you used kernel from that tool
i used the same tool to root my device but never flashed that kernel because it is for one x

[Q] Bought a rooted phone by accident, in over my head

First android phone it's a AT&T One X, i'll be using it on the Bell network. Got a good deal on Kijiji and I didn't ask enough questions apparently, lol.
The phone is clearly not stock, took me several hours to piece that together. I get it, I'm a noob. I can tell it's running Cleanrom 4.5. I want to get it back to something close to stock. I plan to learn all about rooting/roms but I want to do it from a vanilla phone so that I get to actually do it myself.
I googled and found a tutorial (link). I deleted the 'su' file and superuser.apk. I followed the rest of the steps and it didn't seem to do anything, just rebooted back into cleanrom.
I kept googling and now I'm following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714
I guess i'm going to flash from an RUU now ? My CID is 11111111, so I've read that means I have superCID and any RUU will work. I want to get to JB eventually, so can I just flash direct to the Europe 3.14 JB from HTCRUU? Or go with one of the ICS versions?
Am I doing this right?
No no no!
Edit: still writing but wanted to say don't flash that ruu
If you want completely stock you need to use fast boot and boot into hboot and run fastboot OEM lock
(You may need to search around to learn how do that)
Then run this ruu. http://beta.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390077933525139511

that is for the wrong phone
only place you should look at is here AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL
Its good your asking the questions now if you want to go completely stock run an ruu which means relicking the bootloader and running it ill link you to some guides in a sec
---------- Post added at 07:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 AM ----------
Oh and like others said don't use that ruu! We have the one XL
cleanrom 4.5 is pretty good and close to stock but adds quick settings, debloated, power menu and some other tweaks. i would keep it how it is and just learn about how custom roms work. you can learn how to use twrp in its current state and maybe learn how to use some root apps.
just so you know your phone is the evita not the endeavoru.
Thanks for the replies.
I haven't tried flashing anything yet so don't worry. I'm taking it slow.
I've already been into fastboot. Figured that out because it was a required step in the guides I said I was trying to use. I have all the drivers installed and I'm able to talk to the phone via fastboot at the comand prompt.
LOL, thanks for letting me know my phone is Evita. I guess I can delete the 600mb RUU I downloaded
I'm a little unclear about HBOOT vs. fastboot. I can get into the bootloader and go to the fastboot USB mode... is this analogous to HBOOT?
So my steps right now are:
1) Download correct RUU, Evita 2.20 ICS - I've also seen people discussing 1.85 vs 2.20, why chose one over another?
2) fastboot oem lock
3) Install RUU while phone is in bootloader mode
That right?
I would strongly suggest to slow down, and learn more about what root is and means, before going back stock. Root is just a change in permissions. You gain absolutely nothing by unrooting, and lose quite a bit. You lose the ability to do all sorts of mods to your phone, flash custom ROMs, use apps that require root like Adaway and Titanium Backup (and many others), remove carrier bloatware, activate tethering, and much more.
People have gone through great pains to find root methods for our device (and other Android devices). Many come on here looking for these root methods, for the awesome benefits that root means. I've seen very few, if any, people before you that have said "crap I accidentally got a rooted device, and don't want root". Think about that one for a while.
Plus, CleanROM 4.5 is already based on a more updated firmware version than any of the official AT&T RUUs. Plus it includes a lot of cool features and optimizations. Again, going from CleanROM to stock is a step backwards, not forwards, and you are gaining nothing, and losing quite a bit. Another thing about CleanROM, is that it is devoid of the AT&T bloatware (and there is a lot). Keep in mind that on the stock AT&T ROM, the bloat is not removable without root, so you are stuck with quite a few crappy apps that you will never use. That alone is a huge reason to have a rooted device. Also bear in mind that stock AT&T does not allow tethering (unless you have a data plan that allows it) and has other stock HTC apps (like FM radio) disabled. These cannot be enabled unless you have root.
Another thing, is that you will not get Jellybean any faster on stock than rooted. While its true that rooted, this phone will not be able to take the OTA when it rolls out (hasn't happened yet). But a stock rooted JB firmware will almost certainly be posted here on XDA, that is safely flashable on a rooted device. This often happens within a couple days of the OTA starting to roll out, if not faster. Sometimes even before the OTA, as sometimes the official RUUs get leaked before the OTA. All it takes is for a dev to get his hands on the files, apply root, and upload it here. Learning how to flash such a file to your device is very simple. Not much more than: download the file to your phone, boot into recovery, and press "install". So yet again, stock gains nothing over being rooted.
While its true that root is not for everyone. But if you've already found this place, and learned what things like RUU, bootloader, and fastboot are, then you probably already know more than most folks do about Android. You may feel in over your head, but it really just takes a few hours of reading to learn the fundamentals. And with that knowledge, you can do so much more with your phone than you can without root.

I appreciate the advice, thanks. To be clear, eventually I will probably bring the device back to where it is now. I've used linux before so I have an understanding of the permissions system and the added benefits of root.
My goal here is to get the phone back to stock so that I can learn the rooting/flashing process from the start, not the end. I understand why that might seem counterintuitive but I'm a very hands on person and I'll learn more of the theory by walking through the process than reading about how somebody else hacked this device to get where it is now.
Sure I'm making extra work for myself but I know what im getting into.

You should have said so from the start, then. This pretty much negates everything I just typed above.
Its admirable that you want to learn the process from scratch, and its the opposite attitude of most n00bs here.
My advice, as another mentioned above, is stick to XDA, and don't follow instructions from random Googled sites. Most of those sites don't clearly delineate between our phone (Snapdragon S4) and the international (Tegra3) version, and following instructions for the international version is a great way to brick your phone.
Other than that, lock the bootloader, run the RUU, and have fun. Also check your hboot version. If its anything but 1.14, don't run the 2.20 RUU. You will want the 1.73 or 1.85 RUU instead, as the 2.20 RUU will update the hboot to 1.14, which plugs the holes by which boot.img and radios can be flashed from recovery. Unless you want to create ever MORE work for yourself, as the hboot can be downgraded using a Linux computer, lol!
Be sure to check out my index thread, as most anything you will need is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Thanks, sounds like I'm on the right track.
Also check back to my OP, I did say that I wanted to learn the whole process but I wanted to do it from stock. sorry you typed all that out but in sure it will help some other noob down the line.
Last thing, 1.85 vs 2.20?

You might be confused. You shouldn't have to pull a boot.img from an RUU typically, only from a custom ROM zip. And only if you are on boot 1.14.

[Q] HTC OneX Rogers rooting help

Hello community!! I have been reading through the site for a couple of days now, and I'm still confused which rooting method to use since the At&t, and Rogers are mixed together. Sometimes the techniques used are interchanged, sometimes not. Well my question, or problem is is that I am trying to root the Rogers HTC OneX, running the latest installed updates, which are;
Android version
4.1.1
HTC Sense version
4+
Software/build numer
3.17.631.2
HTC SDK API level
4.63
Kernel version
3.4.10-g240d4d5
I'm trying to achieve root because I want to remove bloatware from my phone.I do not know how to achieve root to do this, I don't mind temporary root, aslong as it keeps the changes I made during that root session. I've read around, and some of the posts that are relevant to my problem are outdate by almost 7 months, with users claiming they're having problems with the method given, and these links were directed from a page that was only edited a couple days ago, so it's a bit confusing, especially when At&t, and Rogers are always jumbled around interchangeably. Anyways,I'd love up-to-date instructions on how to succesfully root this phone. Do I need to unlock the bootloader first? If I have to unlock the bootloader, fine(I know..HTCDev), would someone also provide me a way to unroot aswell, and lock the bootloader back up for a smooth stock startup, incase I want to sell the phone some day? My goal is to get root, remove bloatware, and be able to restore to stock when needed.
This wonderful community's posts also helped me root my Rogers Samsung Galaxy S3!!!

Now as for your software this could be tricky... This may or may not work cause you have the latest build from htc. The latest exploit developed is for 2.20. I cant think of any issues of trying this. I just simply may not take. Use at your own risk kind of thing though.

I tried running that program(TOOL] HTC One X (Evita) All-In-One Toolkit V2.1 [1-22-2013] [PERM), but my CID keeps coming back ROGER001, instead of 11111111, therefore the included exploit does not work, But if I manually unlock it through HTCdev, can I resume the steps through that program? Thanks!!
PS: I found out my hboot version is 1.94.000
I unlocked my bootloader through the HTCdev site successfully. Now i'm stuck on actually granting myself root. I've used a couple of files thrown around here, but nothing seems to work. Even temporary root that keeps changes. Anyone?
Once you are bootloader unlocked. Install twrp I believe you need 2.3.3.1 on your firmware and then flash a superuser zip

On the second Site i sent you scroll down abit and you will see How to install TWRP custom recorvery do that and then you will be good. after that download SuperUser ZIp and install it ( once again scroll down on the page and look how to install a custom ROM) for the Custom ROM part there are better tutorials that you can find on this site but yeah.

X-Factor exploit is not needed for the Rogers version (or any other carrier aside AT&T). And as the OP found out, don't think it works on his version, anyway.
For all other variants (besides AT&T) just unlock the bootloader via HTCDev.com, install TWRP custom recovery, and flash SU or a rooted ROM.
Good to know. Thanks! I hate att more every day. im moving to canada

So, I may have unlocked the bootloader for nothing! I also realized my hboot version was 2.14, NOT 1.94 like I thought. Will there be any harm in trying to flash TWRP, and root anyhow? Will this brick my device, or simply not take? If TWRP installs, and I push SU, and then I get undesired glitchy results, can I restore back to stock, or atleast an original Ruu? Thanks
You got is easy! Just flash recovery and superuser and your golden.

Just uninstall whichever root app is present on the ROM (Superuser or SuperSU), voila, you're 100% stock.

thankx
thanks for your help but I guess I won't be able to installed ota anymore? though I don't think there be any coming to the phone anymore
Why do you think that? If the phone has an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery (which you'd need to flash a nand) you shouldn't take an OTA anyway. If you want to go completely back to stock you need to get s-off so you can run the last Telstra RUU (1.89 I think), lock your bootloader, and take every OTA to get back up to date.

Am grateful bro.
my mobile data wont work
Hi,
so after weeks and days of suffering and trying to install any rom on my HTC One XL only telestra works, even CM wont boot I get into boot looping...
So after I installed telestra my mobile data wont work, I tried on my own find out what is the problem, even I tried to downgrade my phone to froyo so I can install RUU and I couldn't downgrade because adb wont push file to my device one file go through and the other won't... It's says permission denied.
I am here asking for you help please I am so desperate, I am trying to do this all by own so I don't need to pay 20 euros to some services.
I am looking for how to fix this mobile data problem and why I am getting permission denied in adb push file, I was following this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1600904

Hang on...
Firstly, you tried to downgrade the phone to Froyo? This device has never had Froyo on it, the earliest version of Android that it came with was Ice Cream Sandwich. So what on earth did you try to flash to your device??
Secondly, the other thread that you link to isn't for this phone, it's for the HTC Droid Incredible.
Mate, it seems as if you've been attempting to flash firmwares and exploits from other devices onto this phone, it's a wonder you haven't bricked the thing! ROMs, kernels, radios, firmwares, exploits, etc, are only compatible for the device that they were developed for, they're not interchangeable. This is our device section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-x-att
Do not, under any circumstances, wander outside of that section and its sub-forums for anything or it's only a matter of time before you have an expensive paperweight.
Now, what recovery do you have on the phone?
PS. You should edit that image asap, it shows your IMEI, that's something you should never post publicly.
Ty for help and your time first.
I edited photo in paint but you need to edit your post too because picture is still there.
My phone is HTC One XL, xda wont accept this when I enter my device.
Well it's a wonder I didn't throw my phone into the wall.
So everything was fine on this phone until battery started to dry out fast, it's started to lag and everything was slow, clean master, battery doctor didn't help, factory reset few times didn't help.
Then I tried to install CM with this instructions ( I can't link it but when you enter in Google how to install CM on HTC One XL it will pop out wiki ) but my phone wouldn't boot any CM for my phone known as "evita", it would stuck at boot looping.
I have access to recovery. bootloader, fastboot and everything so still it isn't a brick.
I have this recovery img TWRP 2.7.0.8. but if needed I can change it into ClockworkMod 6.0.4.8.
I don't have many experiences in rooting android but I learned some basic commands in cmd with fastboot and adb.

I've edited the image out of my post. Your phone probably boot looped after installing CM because you didn't flash the boot.img via fastboot afterwards, am I right? Because you're s-on and have firmware equal to or higher than 1.14 your phone can't flash the boot.img during a ROM flash in recovery, this means you need to do it manually with fastboot after flashing the ROM. I have detailed instructions in my guide thread (link in my signature).
You need to run an RUU which will take the device back to stock and hopefully clear up the issues you've been facing. In order to run an RUU you first need to get s-off (and SuperCID if you don't already have it). In order to get s-off you need to first flash the Kickdroid 5.0 ROM (Rumrunner s-off has the highest success rate on this ROM).
1. Flash Kickdroid (don't forget to flag the boot.img afterwards too).
2. Go to the Rumrunner site and get s-off.
3. Check your CID:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
3b. If it's anything other than 11111111 you need to change it:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
4. You can now run whatever Evita RUU you want, and leave the device stock for a couple of days to see if your problems persist. What variant is the phone? At&t? Rogers? Telstra? Hong Kong?

I did everything what it's says on rumrunner s-off page before I tried to install CM
well I would link to you what steps I was following but I am junior member so I can't, as I said write in google how to install cm on htc one xl and you will get wiki page and there will be steps which I followed.
How could I install then telestra if I didn't was s-off?
I am very tired now but I will answer to you some basic question you asked.
I am on vodafone variant or in my country (Croatia) it's vip, so when I get some sleep I need to install Kickdroid (well in the morning I guess I would figure out what flag the boot.img mean), and after Kickdroid I can install any RUU I want but need one for vodafone am I right? something like this? RUU_EVITA_UL_ICS_40_S_Vodafone_CH-DE_2.41.166.1_Radio_0.20os.32.09.10_2_10.113.32.28L_release_280222_signed
I found that on this page AndroidRUU, and when I bought my phone it was on German lang.
And if I manage to install Kickdroid and then RUU I will try to give a chance and see if it work normally but if not I can install again Kickdroid and have that rom? And I can install some kernel but for now I don't know what kernel is and I don't understand do I need to install kernel or not? Oh man ty for your time and explanation I need to take some time and to figure all of this and to install properly .
Forget about whatever you did or didn't do in the past, it didn't work and there's no point wondering why right now because I've laid out a plan for you to move forward. Install Kickdroid, get s-off with Rumrunner, and run an RUU. You don't necessarily have to run a Vodafone RUU, you can run any Evita RUU, but yes the one you mentioned is compatible. You absolutely must get s-off before running any RUU though or you will brick the phone. Follow the steps I mentioned before exactly and you should be ok.
Just realised I missed some of your questions. If you want use Kickdroid as your ROM you definitely can, it's a very good ROM. It's a bit hard to describe what a kernel is briefly, but put simply it's a separate level of firmware that controls how the software or OS (and you) interacts with with hardware. You don't need to flash a kernel, every ROM zip contains a kernel already, otherwise the phone wouldn't operate, it wouldn't even boot up. There are custom kernels available that allow a bit of extra tweaking, like overclocking (or underclocking) the CPU, undervolting, sound tweaks, and various other much more complicated tweaks.

Language
Hello how to add the Russian language in the system??? Maybe they cut. If there is a rom with a full range of languages and the last update, I need a rom without mods!
