Quick question about hboot and ruu - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Ok so I have unlocked rooted an it is hboot 1.09 from the hboot downgrade
If I wanted to restore to stock with out upgrading the hboot what would be the best ruu to use I know 2.20 has 1.14 but I'm not sure about 1.85 an 1.73
Also if I use the ruu to go to stock would it be like I was never on 2.20 hboot 1.14
Thanks for any help

You can use the 1.85 or 1.73 ruu but 1.85 is usually recommended and yes now that you've downgraded you have nothing left over from 2.20 basically

alright thanks alot just wanted to make sure first i love trying things i havent before so i figures returning to stock an rooted again might be some fun

just tryed 1.85 and came back with error 140 boot loader version wroung so im trying 1.73 now

You have to Relock your bootloader before running an ruu

i relocked my boot loader and didnt work thats the first thing i did was relock it after i ran the 1.85 i ran the 1.73 an nether worked an it had me stuck in boot loader with security warning an couldnt go anywhere else no recovery nothing so i restored with 2.20
does 1.85 an 1.73 att/cingular for sure have the 1.09 hboot

If you didn't change your main version then that's why the ruu failed. Instructions on how to do so are on the first page of the JET thread.
Edit: it's post 4 in the JET thread to be exact, posted by grim.

[Q] S-OFF on HBOOT 1.20

Is there an S-OFF available for HBOOT 1.20? Saw "locked" after flashing 1.20 and S-ONed phone. Finally unlocked using htcdev but nothing I found could help me downgrade HBOOT and do S-OFF again. Do not have SuperCID atm.
there is a thread on this your still rooted even though it says s on
Yeah, I am still rooted and can get into recovery and flash ROMs. But I am having issues with signal and I cannot flash anything because 1.20 does not support fastboot commands. I would like to downgrade but cannot. I tried flashing the customized p85img.zip with my CID T-MOB010 and it would just return to menu w/o any messages.
Make sure it's p85img in the file name.
Don't INSERT .zip at the end. It should automatically be a .zip file.
The file is named correctly.
There is a thread here ima try and find it were you can revert back to hboot 1.17.0000

i m facinf d same problm wit my sensation with bootloader unlocked thro htc dev. i m unable 2 flash any radios. Even i m unable to flash any custom firmware also. I need ur help if u found any solution.
either downgrade your hboot to 1.17 or update to ics 3.24 which has hboot 1.27 (unlocked) and you will have advance fastboot commands
Same exact problem here, semi-bricked my phone before I went over to Htcdev.... attempting to flash a p85img for HBOOT 1.17 or any p85img does nothing but parse it. Searched all day today couldn't find a thing to help...Others have suggested just waiting until Revolution comes out with an Unlock for 1.20 but I'm determined to find a solution for us.

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

Are you already on 2.20? If not, why not run 1.85 RUU?

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.

But signal dropping solution has not been resolved.
I have dropped the plan of running ruu and will install custom rom tn special edition 3.6
can u suggest me the best radio for better mobile signals? (i am from india -region asia)

(Q) few questions about hboot

alright so i have a few questions about hboot i have a att onexl rooted and unlocked boot loader 1.14
i seen a downgrade for 1.14 hboot to 1.09 is 1.09 better in anyway
also is it normal for above unlocked in boot loader to say tampered
thanks for any help
Yes the tampered on boot loader normal, means your unlocked. And 1.09 is much more easy to flash ROMs. No extracting kernels to flash for each ROM.

ok so i take it as there will be no reason to flash the boot.img for ever romk i try on 1.09 then
Well technically 1.09 just does it for you. The exploit for 2.20 had to be hacked in a way that does not for 1.14. Dam HTC honestly I've all ways had the 1.09 and its cake. I have not even seen the mod for hboot to downgrade. I hope it works for you.

[q] s-off, 3.18 >>> 1.73 ruu?

So, I'm currently S-OFF, bootloader unlocked, SuperCID, etc. I was originally on the 1.73 base/RUU, and then upgraded using the 3.18 RUU. I would like to revert back to the 1.73 RUU. Since I'm S-OFF, can I simply run the 1.73 RUU (the older version) without doing anything fancy? I just plug my phone up and run the 1.73 RUU, even though it's a MUCH older RUU than the one I last used?
Thanks.
Yes.
Though I did not have supercid when I did it. You should be able to with s-off no problem.
If you're worried just fastboot OEM writecid "whatever your cid was originally" minus the ""

Ok, and do I need to relock my bootloader before running the RUU if I'm S-OFF?
No, don't

i have s-off with 3.18 firmwares on it running custom aosp roms. i find the 3.18 radio to be the best for at&t. since i have ruu i haven't reverted hboot or anything besides downgrading the touchscreen. if you run aosp roms i would flash the cm10 3.18 cwm flashable zip, since most use the older 2.20 radio.

I also have S-OFF , unlocked and go back and forth between the 3.18 and older RUU's , then flash radios that suit my area. At the time on 2.20, Clean Rom 5.1, with 3.18 radio. As I understand most posts on the deal, once S-OFF , you can do most anything as long as its a RUU for the particular phone , in this case the HTC one x Evita.

How to update from 1.85 to 2.20?

I have my phone rooted since the first days of having it.
Never taken OTA update so it's still on 1.85 and it's unlocked but S-ON.
Has TWRP 2.4.3.0 and custom kernel and ROM.
Wanted to try some new roms that require new 2.20 and S-OFF.
Found a method to root 2.20 and get S-OFF, but my question now is how to safely upgrade from my existing condition 1.85/S-ON to 2.20?
Thanks
Why don't you just s-off, then RUU to 3.18, flash TWRP 2.3.3.1, downgrade touchscreen firmware, and then you can flash whatever you want.

Agree. Just S-off now, then run the 3.18 RUU.
If you are on 1.85, 2.20 is just an obsolete and unnecessary middle step, at this point.
Thanks to you both. Would you point me to see off procedure for 1.85?
Or it is the same as for 2. 20?
Thanks again

Soff is the same regardless of software version. There's a sticky in the original android development section.
