Need Help - Restoring to Stock AT&T - Using KingCobra 1.4.1 - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I need to restore my One X to complete AT&T factory firmware and settings as I need to send in the phone to be replaced. What would be the best way to go about this ? Would just running the 2.20 RUU work? I am not sure as KingCobra 1.4.1 is based on the 2.29 RUU. Any help would be appreciated.

First you lock the bootloader and flash stock ruu to send it back

Are you on the 2.20 Hboot, or something previous? If its still on the "old" Hboot, I'd just run the 1.73 or 1.85 RUU and leave it at that. I'd really avoid running the 2.20 RUU unless you absolutely have to. I think there is a small possibility you will actually get your old phone back repaired instead of a refurb (if you are over the first 30 days).
What ROM you are presently on makes no difference when running the RUU. As long as the bootloader is relocked, the right RUU (for your CID, in this case any should work since you are SuperCID) will just wipe everything anyway.

adb reboot bootloader
fasboot oem lock
Then flash ruu of choice

Will at&t ruu 2.20.502.7 will work on supercid 1111111 at&t hox to get back to stock?

Will at&t ruu 2.20.502.7 will work on supercid 1111111 at&t hox to get back to stock?
I am having at&t htc one x bootloader with :
**** tampered ****
**** unlocked ****
evita pvt shp s-on rl

apr 2 2012,21:08:24
installed twrp 2.2.0 recovery and stock rooted rom 2.23707.2 asia generic.
Now the problem is, i am facing the mobile signal(not wifi) dropping issues and i have to revert back to at&t stock rom, i have downloaded the official at&t ruu 2.20.502.2.....exe,
but i am concerned with the doubt that will the ruu will work 100% on supercid 111111 without any problem after relocking the bootloder or do i have to revert back the stock at&t cid, and if yes then what is the procedure to revert back the stock at&t cid???????
If you ever want to unlock the bootloader again leave the cid alone. BTW you can just flash the radio from the new ota if you want. There's a thread in development section with radios

thanks for the help,appreciable. But i don't want to flash just the radio, coz i already did that, but it did not solve my problem. So the question still continues..Can i run Ruu with the current supercid 111111 or do i have to revert it back to stock???
SORRY FOR BAD ENGLISH. ITS NOT MY FAMILIAR LANGUAGE.
You don't have to change cid to flash the ruu just relock the bootloader

Doesn't look like the op is on 2.20, the hboot for 2.20 is 1.14.0002.
Absolutely Right, i am not on 2.20,

Sir this is not about 2.20 or 1.85, i just want to confirm is, if running a ruu on supercid 111111 will work 100% or do i have to revert to the region's cid of the ruu am using.
I dont want that ruu should get interupt by any reason nd i brick my phone coz i dont have any warranty or insurance on it.

your question has been answered multiple times.
SuperCID will allow you to run the 2.20 RUU. The reason we're cautioning you is because once you do that, you will lose the ability to flash new radios at all and you'll have to flash a kernel in fast boot.
Also once you do this update to 2.20 you can't go backward to 1.85 even WITH SuperCID because the update includes a new HBOOT.

ok what will happen if i extract the rom.zip from the ruu and will extract and replace the hboot with earlier one and also the recovery with custom one and will rezip it and rename it as PJ83.img and will copy it to storage and run it in the current boot loader. will relock it before running the process.
Will this work and will i b able to flash the stock rom with same boot loader and custom recovery?
I AM AWARE INSTEAD OF DOING THIS I CAN JUST FLASH THE STOCK ROOTED 2.20 ROM FROM TWRP BUT I JUST WANT TO INCREASE MY TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE AND WORK.

won't work because RUU's include a signature check and if you alter the files in any way, that signature check will fail.

Help getting back to stock

I'm planning on putting my phone fully back to stock. I just have a few questions that I can't find answers to, if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Background
S4 Version
HBoot: 1.06*
Bought the phone second hand, it was carrier unlocked and already rooted etc.*
The phone CID says orangeuk, but*I use 3UK Network.*I'm going to have to use SuperCID before I flash the ruu, because there is no orangeUK ruu available.
1.**Is the HTC_001 the best CID to use for ota's and ruu files?
2. When I re-lock bootloader and flash ruu, will I lose the carrier unlock?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
I dont have an answer for 1 but im pretty sure about 2 that carrier unlock wont go. Once you unlock it it stays unlocked
Right, this is my plan to get back to stock. If anyone has any better ideas please let me know!
1. Change radio 1.06es version to match ruu radio (read somewhere the ruu might not run if my radio is newer, currently 1.11)
2. Change CID to HTC__001 to run 2.31 WWE ruu.
3. Re-lock Bootloader
4. Run 2.31 WWE ruu
5. Update software via OTA to JB.
6. Carrier unlock phone if necessary using code created while rooted.
Questions
Do I have to flash stock recovery or will the ruu do that?
Can I run the 2.31 WWE ruu from hboot 1.06, or do I need to use 1.53 ruu as that has the same hboot?
I assume the OTA will also update my radio to 1.11?
Thanks

The RUU should update everything. Including the stock recovery, Hboot, and radio. I already Rooted the One S. Then unrooted. Then rooted again. The only thing i will mention....
Make sure you have the stock Boot.img first. Then use Fastboot to load the boot.img. then you can flash the RUU. Good luck

RUU or a backup TMOB-101

Hi, I really f up.
I can't install roms, and I got TMOB-101.
I tried recently flash a new rom. and didn't backed it up.
please someone send me TMOB-101 backup ot RUU.
HELP!
if you've unlocked your hboot, you need to relock it and then you can install a RUU.

lol. There isn't one from TMOB_101 and I really doubt that there ever will be one...
If you want to stick to your CID you should flash this one above and check the OTA updates. Things can be soooo easy...
If you want to go for JB you'll have to change CID to HTC__001 and flash the appropriate RUU. 3.16 will come in by OTA update.
Isn't it will brick my device? (flashing a earlier version then I got)
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2
No, it will simply not flash (= exit with an error).
Each RUU/OTA update comes with a certain new bootloader version. Dependant on this version you can upgrade to the next higher hboot but usually not downgrade to a lower hboot. E.g. if youre on 2.15 JB you can't downgrade to 1.14 ICS by RUU anymore. But you are still able to flash custom roms based on whatever android version. The only thing here is with bootloaders > 1.09 the kernel needs to be flashed separately in fastboot mode.
That's where s-off / downgrading bootloader comes into game. As downgrading bootloader is a pain, s-off would be the way to go. For warranty purposes you will be able to restore a stock phone (locked, tampered warning removed, s-on). And if your screen is blank, it will also be blank for TMOB, so there is no need to restore stock.

I can sent you a twrp nandroid backup from my phone (s4-tmobile germany)
I have backups from the 3.16.111.5.and from the latest 3.16.111.7. They are the stock roms with the supersu added.
If you recover the 3.16.111.5 nandroid backup you will take a OTA update to clean 3.16.111.7 (without supersu).

[Q] RUU after S-OFF?

Hi everyone.
I've been having very bad problems with by battery life lately (I mean BAD) across nearly virtually all ROMs and configurations... so I'm thinking it's time to RUU and see if it solves the problem before sending my phone off.
Currently, I'm bootloader unlocked, SuperCID, S-OFF, rooted, custom recovery, etc.
I've done an RUU before, before I got S-OFF, and I know that if you have an unlocked bootloader you have to 're-lock' it before running the RUU.
Since I'm S-OFF, are there any other prerequisites to RUUing?
Can I simply re-lock my bootloader, RUU, then unlock my bootloader, root, and I'll be good?
And will I remain S-OFF throughout the RUU? Will my S-OFF mess anything up?

From what i understand, you don't even need to relock your bootloader, while S-OFF, but I did it anyway when I RUU'd.
RUUing will not mess with S-OFF or anything.
After RUUing, I also Took the latest OTA from Telus (I'm with Telus, you may not be) And I noticed ROMs using a 3.17 base run much smoother and with less bugs. I did not, however, notice much difference in battery life with AOSP roms.
Hope this helps ya

OK, so you mean that after RUUing, you took the OTA, and Sense 3.17 ROMs ran smoother and better than before you took the OTA?
I'm thinking about using the 3.18 RUU. Since I'm S-OFF, am I safe to use any RUU I want since I can revert easily?
As in, I can safely use the 3.18 RUU (which is currently regarded unrootable), and if it turns out to be bad I can just go back to an older RUU?
Basically, will using the 3.18 OTA/RUU mess anything up if I'm S-OFF?

Yes, I did find Viper and clean rom both ran much better than they did previously.
I'm sorry, I don't know about the 3.18 OTA... Hopefully someone else here can shed more light?
Theoretically, Since you're S-OFF, you should be able to update just fine. I haven't seen anyone actually do it yet though. I would test if I could.
I didn't relock I just ruu'd and after the process was done I just pushed twrp to my phone in fastboot and flashed viper. Only took a few mins top

If I decide to update to a complete 3.18 base, is it better to use a 3.18 RUU or OTA? And if I use the OTA, how exactly do I 'flash' it (it's a ZIP file). Do I just put it on the top level of my internal storage, and boot into recovery, and select 'update' or whatever?

I used the ruu for 3.18 and haven't regretted it yet. My battery life has gotten much better.
Sent from my Elemental Venomized S-off HTC One XL
OTA just downloads through the phone. IE: Go to settings about phone, check for updates and it updates. You don't have to do anything else, it prompts you and updates for you.
If there was already a 3.18 RUU that would be the fastest way. Telus is slow with releasing RUU's so I had to use ICS myself. Neither way should give you trouble.
Here's to hoping my phone doesn't brick. Running the RUU as we speak (bootloader unlocked, s-off, super-cid)...
Well it worked. Twrp 2.2.2.0 doesn't though. Ugh, 2.3x is so ugly.

Going Back To Stock

I just got the new HTC One and I am wanting to sell my HTC One X. I want to get it completely back to stock. I have a couple questions.
I believe I can flash and RUU and it will put it back to stock, correct?
Will this also erase the sd card or will I need to do a factory reset on the phone to erase the sd?
I'm currently on CleanRom. I believe the phone is on 2.20 firmware also.
Thanks.

of course if you are s-on and supercid running a ruu will brick your phone so if you have supercid you need to s-off before using a ruu
