Hey guys, long time reader and first time poster. I have One X that I upgraded the firmware to 1.85 RUU. The bootloader is unlocked and rooted. Im trying to downgrade my firmware back to 182 but after I relock the bootloader and reboot the phone to run the 1.82 RUU, it wont get past the Hboot screen. The only way I can get the phone to work properly is to unlock the bootloader again. Any help would be greatly apperciated!!

Run the ruu from the bootloader or hboot screen. Should fix u up when downgrading I think you have to run from bootloader.. Are you supercid?
You need to run the ruu from the bootloader. You should be ok. You need to be in fastboot.

This is not a problem, it is perfectly normal. When you relock the bootloader you have to flash a RUU. You guys should know this before you mess with anything. Why can't you flash a RUU? Are you sure you are trying the correct one? And why did you even try to mess with it with a low battery?

followed steps correctly usb debugging on..check, tried in fastboot....check, tried both t-mobile U.S. RUUs and even tried downloading each from different sources...check, restored stock recovery and relocked bootloader I also made sure htc drivers are properly installed. WTF I dont know whats going on im on stock rom just rooted, my hboot is 1.009, can anyone give me a hand? I have to return my phone for a warranty exchange the older ruu gives me the error 155(tried fasboot usb method) and the 1.84 ruu acts as if it's working hell it even reboots my phone and says rom update successfully installed in ruu prompt but when I boot into bootloader it still has tampered? also I can tell its not working properly because under the white HTC logo/w black screen the little green installation bar is not displayed.....sorry for the run on sentencing....just trying to remember everything.

That's a tough one to nail down. Below is the stock recovery from the 1.84 t-mobile OTA. Maybe flash that and try the clear storage option.
Also, you might try doing the the Mainver Fix in the all in one tool kit. It's an option in the box in the lower right hand corner.

This same thing happened to me at some point. I would suggest just starting over and redoing all the steps.
0. Flash original radio
1. Flash stock recovery
2. Use stock recovery "clear storage" option
3. Factory reset.
4. Enable usb debugging
5. Uninstall usb drivers from your computer
6. Reinstall HTC USB driver
7. Lock bootloader
8. Switch usb cable
9. Run RUU.
If that doesn't work use a hammer and smash the thing =)
Actually instead of using a hammer I would change to super cid and use a different RUU that had the same hboot as the one your on.
Extract the Rom.zip from the RUU, rename to PJ40IMG.zip, place on root of SD card.

@usaf22 really? Did that method work for you?(thought it may not work because we don't have s-off) Did it also remove the tampered and relocked banners? Thanks for both of you guys help will give it a go.
(Edit Hboot wont detect the PJ40IMG.zip )

I have this exact same problem. The recovery cannot be flashed. I get a signature failed. I managed to download the the recovery just fine though. I need to flash the stock recovery so that I can do that latest update, but now I can't even enter the recovery. I get a security warning message next to Relocked everytime I try to get in... Awesome.
PS: The phone I already tried the RUU and I got a 155. Because you can only downgrade if you are S-OFF. So... What are we supposed to do now..?

I'm going to assume that by now you have taken off the phone everything you wanted to back up. You flashed the stock recovery onto the phone right? And now your bootloader is relocked?
If so do this:
enter fastboot
then select the bootloader option.
clear storage
factory reset
select fastboot again.
Run the RUU

I got it working guys, but I know why. I was using the incorrect RUU. The link said it was the one for 1.83 but it was for the 1.5 version. I download it again and sure enough it's the 1.83 one. I guess I'm back to work now.
One question and this may save a big headache lol... did you LOCK your bootloader back? I had a couple RUU's that didn't work for me either, but I didn't follow the step of locking the bootloader I was just trying to flash over. Once I relocked I was good to go.
Thanks everyone yes I relocked the bootloader, hey @ dc211 can you provide a link for a successful RUU that you have used...plznthnx

Your problem is that there is only 1 RUU you can use. Only 2 exist for T-mobile US and one you can't use because the hboot is lower then yours. But you're kinda lucky that a new OTA came out today. So a newer T-mobile US RUU should be out in a few days, that's normally how long it takes football to get them.
Here's a link to eh 1.83 RUU that should be fast. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/76257867/RUU_Ville_U_TMOUS_1.84.531.2_R2_Radio_0.16.31501S.16_2_10.22.31501S.10L_release_263233_signed.exe
Our you can try to get the OTA. You should be able to see it now if you check for software updates but it should fail to install. I saw you're using the 1.06es radio. You'd have to go back to the original radio, recovery, lock the booloader and factory reset. For it to work.
I know you should be able to get it working I was stuck where you're at but my Hboot also said "Security Warning" and RUU's & OTA's wouldn't run which I really haven't seen anyone else get.
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:

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

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

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?

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
I have been reading and trying to return to stock for over a week, and nothing will work. I used HTCdev to unlock and I installed Jellytime, but now I want to go back to stock to sell it, and I can't get anything to work. It is S-On now, and I think thats why nothing works. I have Clockwork recovery, and the only rom I can get to flash is jellytime, nothing else works. I tried HTC RUU, and that gives me an unknown error. I've tried flashing several PD98IMG's, and they all fail also. I have also tried flashing the att stock rom via RUU and Clockwork recovery, that doesn't work either. Someone please help! Thanks!

Re lock bootloader. Place phone into fastboot and plug into PC. Run ruu from PC. May need HTC sync installed to avoid errors when running ruu. Also if your hboot is the newest version you will only be able to run the newest ruu from HTC.

In addition to what Gizmoe says, you need To flash an Inspire RUU as you are S-ON. Other RUU's will fail due to cid signature
Thanks, I finally got the RUU to flash, I didn't realize that I had to relock the bootloader, thats why it wasn't working.
In trying to update the HBOOT from 2.15 to 2.18, I tried to flash ATT 3.18 RUU on an S-OFF, Bootloader unlocked ATT One X.
Everything seem to go fine until I rebooted. Now all I can do is notice is that the top line reads as "RELOCKED" and the radio and everything else updated fine, but it won't go beyond the HTC logo now.
Tried flashing a recovery via FASTBOOT which seems to send the file but do nothing, I also tried to unlock it again using the original bootloader unlock.bin from HTCDEV, but that is failing as well. I can't go into recovery at all now to flash any custom ROM as well.
Any guidance on getting around this, I have seen some "Relocking" threads but none for AT&T HTC One X. Appreciate the forum's guidance in getting through this mess up.
Did you actually relock the bootloader yourself? An RUU can't normally do that.
Transmitted via Bacon
No, For some reason, my ADB/Fastboot commands didn't get response from the Phone, and then I simply flashed the RUU. That's where it started showing as relocked. After breaking sweat over what was happening, I went ahead and flashed it again and it seems The RUU was not successful in the 1st attempt since it booted nicely after the 2nd flash.
Currently I had to request a new unlock code to unlock the bootloader again and now it is unlocked successfully and the phone is alive and getting a rest before I flash 5.0 ROMs on it. I have renamed it Phoenix due to the 2 bricks it went through and still able to function as my primary device after 30 months of purchase.
