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
hboot-1.09.0000
radio-0.19as.32.09.09_l
opendsp-v28.1.0.32.0504
emmc-boot
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.

[HOWTO] [HTC One SV] Unbrand your phone to get the OTA updates

Bonjour everyone, here's a little guide on how to unbrand your phone in order to get the OTA updates notifications directly and be able to install them.
If you want to get S-OFF one day on your One SV, read this first. You need to change CID to SuperCID to do so, and it's not possible (for the moment) if you upgrade to JB
Basically this works as long as your phone model is sold unbranded somewhere in the world and that the people having such a phone got an OTA update.
For now, ther's no way to change CID if you're running JB and are S-ON. That means that this only work for One SV's running ICS who want to get the OTA updates.
As far as I know, it works on K2_U and K2_UL, since they both got an OTA update to JB.
The trick is simple, I didn't invent it and haven't been able to find its original founder, but thanks a lot to her or him !
I'm basically just a messenger here since I only tried out some stuff that worked with other phones, so thanks a lot to bkcokota, old.splatterhand and jmztaylor
Don't try it if you're worried, bricks happen, you'd be the only one responsible !
Here we go :
1. First you need to root your phone, here's how.
2. Change you CID using the same method than for the One S.
Personnaly, I changed it to "HTC__203", which is the CID unbranded HTC phones have in France (HTC-FRA).
For example, "HTC__001" is HTC-WWE, which stands for World Wide English.
You can change it to whatever CID you like : choose it well. I can only recommend to use HTC__203 since it's the only one I tried and that it worked, but do as you please !
3. Flash stock recovery back. You'll find it here or here. Flash it like you flashed CWM recovery (into fastboot, using fastboot flash recovery xxxxxx.img).
4. Relock your bootloader. It's possible that it's not necessary, but it can't hurt ("fastboot oem lock", when in fastboot usb)
5. Run a RUU that matches you unbranded CID to get an "unbranded" rom.
You'll find them here, for example. The "RUU_K2_UL_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.17.401.5_R....exe" one will work with HTC__203 and HTC__001 CIDs.
6. Go ask your phone if he can find any updates
WARNING : for the moment there's no way to change CID if you upgrade to JB since the newer HBOOT (v2.00) don't let you do it. That means that for now you won't be able to S-OFF if you upgrate to JB using this method. For now...

Nice one!
Only thing i would add for people to know:
if somebody want to get S-Off, they should change the CID to SuperCID 11111111 (or if you want 22222222,...).

Done, sir.
It was only said at the bottom of the message at first, but now I put it at the beginning as well.
There's one thing that I'm trying to get though : according to a lot of people and forums, you don't get OTA when you have SuperCID... but some poeple say they do.
It probably changes depending on the type of HTC phone, but also depending on the OTA (some got the first ones, but not the latest...).

I got the ota notification with SuperCID, i think it depends on more things.
But there i'm not far enough into it.

I have had no success at all. My story:
Updated a branded phone to JB, rooted. Then I did a moonshine S-off and changed CID to HTC__001 (even tried 11111111).
I have downloaded a ICS RUU (couldn't find stock K2_UL so I thought that I would download ICS first and then do OTA to JB) but I am getting error 158. I have checked md5 sum and it matches (http://androidfiles.org/ruu/getdown...0.14_2_10.49.40.11L_release_301902_signed.exe). Any ideas?

If you're on jb and hboot 2.00, that's normal... and written in the first post.

There is information that it is impossible to change CID while on JB and with 2.0 hboot, but I guess that I have had success in changing to superCID (at least this is what I can read in bootloader and using fastboot oem readcid command.
So, as far as I understand newer hboot won't let me use older RUU as well, right?

Is there any chance to make this for the k2cl ( boost mobile ) version?

To get it a bit clearer.
At this point i'm not very up to date, thats why i didn't answer til now.
I think (but i'm not sure) you can flash the ruu, if you are on hboot 1.0.
And as you are S-Off you should be able to downgrade hboot. But this is a very risky point, you can easily brick your device. Here is, how you have to do:

To change hboot you will need a PL80IMG.zip on sdcard with android-info.txt and hboot.img inside it.
reboot to bootloader and flash.

The thing what makes it difficult, is to get the hboot.img (its inside ics ruu), cause the htc ruu's encrypted and i only have heard about tools for linux which can decrypt it.

Thanks to your reply I did some research and I have managed to do what I wanted. I have downgraded hboot first (by extracting and encrypting ICS RUU using linux), then I could run RUU and now I am stock ICS with S-off and superCID
Should I post some files from RUU? 1.0 hboot or stock recovery? You guys need something?
Thanks for your helping hand old.splatterhand!

Yes, of course, everything is appreciated! You can use this thread, please post ruu name too. You can look at my posts there. Hboot, boot.img, recovery, radio, would be fine.

Did you use rollon's method and flashed PL80IMG.zip in bootloader mode ?
If yes, which android-info.txt did you use ?
If not, how did you do it ?

Did you get the ota update notification for JB then ?
Did you manage to apply it ?
Thanks and congratulations !

Hi everyone.
Just a quick message to confirm that rollon's method works.
To downgrade you need to be S-OFF, extract and decrypt (with ruuveal, using linux or a linux virtualbox runned in windows) hboot and androidinfo from ICS RUU, put them in a zip named PL80IMG.zip, put it on your sd card and boot into bootloader. Then you can run the ICS RUU normally and you'll be back to stock ICS, with a "*** LOCKED ***" bootloader (not relocked !), will be able to go back to S-ON using "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" (thanks to JMZ)...
You'll then have a locked S-ON out of box phone running 100% stock ICS with original boot, recovery and all that... who'll get the 2 JB OTA's...
In case anyone's interested

[Q] Installing RUU, which one to choose

Hi,
My battery has been acting up for almost half a year now and my usage time is half of what it was when i got it. I have been installing several different ROMs and kernels so I am at a lost on what's wrong. So I have decided to install a RUU to see if a total reset can fix my phone.
I found this page: http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Ville
Does anybody know which RUU from the link is the newest/best? Will I get updates from HTC when I do this?
Currently running trickdroid 10.3.2, bricked kernel, twrp 2.3.3, S-OFF and superCID - is there anything in particular I should know before doing this?
I have never installed a RUU before, hope somebody can help

anyone? Or perhaps just a part answer

Choose RUU according to your CID.
Must restore original CID to avaoid having problems with OTA updates.
If you receive OTA updates with superCID, a brick is going to welcome you.

Ok so i am in a similar fix.
I obtained S-Off/superCID the very next day i got my One S .. things were running smooth on stock. Looked out for some ROMS and finally installed one. Now I want to revert to my stock ROM while maintaining S-off/root. My problem is only that i don't find this ROM stable or the kernel .. just want to revert to stock.
Live in Pakistan, hence i doubt OTA is going to ever cause me any trouble. Could you please recommend which RRU should i install?
Would really appreciate some help from a fellow countryman

Yes, you're right. Latest 4.2.2 Custom ROMs are having some bugs at the moment.
I need to know some details before I recommend anything.
1. S3/S4 version processor? (CPU-Z from play store will tell you that)
2. CID & MID (CID getter from play store will tell you that)
3. Last Stock firmware you had/installed?
4. HBOOT version?

Okay that's good but I need to know the original CID that the phone was shipped with.
Also, I'll need to know MID (Model ID). You can find it out via CID GETTER. When you open the app search for the line [ro.aa.modelid]: PJxxxxxxx that's the model ID

Ok. I deem this RUU to be the most suitable for you, which is Here.
Just run the RUU and it will do the job for you.
A word or two of caution here:
1. The RUU will erase everything.
2. After the RUU, you might want to change your CID back to HTC__001 because it has been rumored that HTC will release JellyBean 4.2.2 + Sense 5 for the One S. If you update the ONE S via OTA with SUPERCID, you will brick your device.
And anyway, SuperCID is not necessary at all for flashing Custom ROMs.
3. You will lose the Root for sure. But you can flash custom recovery + SuperSU again after going stock.
Edit: Oh! and match the MD5 hash of the downloaded file and the one on the server. MD5 checking utility is on XDA somewhere.
Edit 2: The CID in all cases comprises of 8 characters. i.e HTC__001 (8 chars), BM___001 (8 chars, my CID) etc. So when changing the CID, be sure to have an 8 character CID.
regards

Will follow your instructions. I was following a guide (All in one tool kit for ONE S) to achieve S-OFF for rooting and following that procedure the CID was reset as well. Not sure whether i can achieve S-OFF without meddling with the CID .... This being my first HTC after SGS and SGS2.

For all I have read, the reason for going after S-Off to begin with is essentially to gain capability to flash customer roms. I feel sorry for being a consistent bother, but could you please guide me towards a thread where I can learn rooting without messing with S-Off ...

haha... Yes..
Well the All-in-One-Toolkit by Hasoon2000 is the one you have to follow. But no S-OFFing/SuperCID.
You just need the bootloader unlocked to get Rooted/Custom ROM/Recovery.
Since you have already unlocked the bootloader, I think it's not necessary to use the AIO toolkit again.
What we need is this:
- Run the RUU. (Run it first, and if it gives you errors, you might need to Relock your bootloader which is quite simple).
[For the latter part] - Then if you want to Root you stock ROM, we will have to flash custom Recovery, which again is quite simple and can be flashed from fastboot. I'll guide you on this part later when you are stock again. No biggy.

AOA Orak,
I installed the RUU and am back to stock now. Using the toolkit installed TWRP S4 recovery but when i try to go into recovery a red triangle with an exclamation mark appears; the phone stays with it for a while and then reboots to normal desktop. Tried it a number of times with the same result. Since i am unable to go into recovery, i cannot flash the supersu.zip and thus no root :/ Should I go for CWM?

Ok so i figured it out in the meanwhile .. I had locked the bootloader before running the RUU. Unlocked it, installed recovery and flashed SU successfully.
So now I have two questions:
1- Do i need to re-lock the bootloader? If yes, will I still be able to flash custom roms?
2- How do i revert my original CID value? Will 'fastboot writecid HTC__001' do the trick? Are there any pre-requisites for it?

- Okay before anything, i would advise to flash TWRP 2.3.3.0 recovery and you will avoid many issues currently being faced with 2.5.0.0.
You can find 2.3.3.0 Here.
If you need help on flashing, ask away.
- now your questions:
1. No and No
2. You have to boot into bootloader and then go into FASTBOOT and write the command
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
BTW, I assume you have adb+fastboot files on your PC?

[Q] Revert back to stock

I am looking for a Stock T-Mobile Jelly Bean image that won't brick my phone. I tried searching for one, but I couldn't find anything or I found RUUs for outdated versions of HBoot. I am trying to revert back to stock, but I am sorta scared to do so with an outdated RUU. I have HBoot version 2.15 and Radio version 1.13.50.05.31. Thanks in advance.

Would this be the RUU I have to download? http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...531-10305008l-release-309489-signed-ics-2exe/
I would just prefer a nandroid backup of the stock image that I can just flash with CWM.
I downloaded the RUU, I just need to know if that is the correct one for my phone before I use it. I really don't want a bricked phone. I checked the MD5sum already and it matches, that is the only thing holding me back.

I have ran that RUU with the same hboot and radio as you. Why do you think it would brick your phone? you haven't supercid and have locked your bootloader right?
(didn't download from that site though)

Okay, thank you for the reassurance. I just am pretty paranoid about bricking my phone. I have been looking up how to use RUUs for the last day or so, I just couldn't find anything on how to select the right one. Thanks again.
I just checked out your link and I am downloading now. I do not have SuperCID and I will be looking my boot loader.

If you are on TMOB US then it's for you. Furthermore, you can match thr CID of your phone to that in the RUU.exe --> Firmware.zip --> android-info.txt.
You'll have to extract firmware.zip from temporary files when you run RUU without connecting phone.

I ended up using that RUU that was linked earlier in this thread and everything went fine. I just don't have the stock recovery. I guess that isn't that much of a problem though.

The RUU installs the Stock Recovery automatically. You don't have to do anything extra.
You can find stock recovery (if you want to keep it for any purpose) inside the RUU (extraction would require you to run the RUU and then extract the recovery from Temporary Files)
OR
you can find it in the forums.

Hmmm, that's strange. Oh well I guess. When I tried to go into the recovery it just showed a red exclamation mark with a phone under it. I don't really need a recovery right now. Thanks for letting me know where I can find it.

I believe that is the stock recovery. The red exclamation mark is telling you that you don't have access to it. Perfectly normal.

Can I also run this same RUU as quoted in this thread ?
I have the same radio but different hboot ...
SuperCID = HTC__001 <---- I got this right now, I will have to put in TMO CID before I run RUU, is that true?
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.13.0000
RADIO-1-13.50.05.31
I would like to go back to Stock becuase after rooting and putting custom ROM (AOKP, I lost 4g, it was working before)

Yes, I think it will give you an error with that cid. Someone could correct me, but with s-off you can run whatever ruu you want.

I am planning on changing the CID to match what's in the firmware and then running this RUU but... what about my hboot.. it's different than what you guys have. Its 1.13

It will install the newer hboot to 2.15

So I should be able to run the RUU with lower boot like mine and it will upgrade the boot to 2.15 -
Is it true that with 2.15 hboot, modifying the CID is not allowed ?
Any reason why I should stay with 1.13 HBOOT and not go to 2.15 Hboot? Meaning any disadvantages of upgrading to HBOOT 2.15 ?

Well, say you updated your phone via ota & your cid is European or something. And all of the ruus for that CID are lower hboots. If u are s-on and and needed to ruu you wouldn't be able to.
But there is a guide to run a ota.zip for those people, so it isn't hopeless.
So not too many disadvantages.
In fact I just installed the newest Rom and firmware today. So my hboot is 2.16.
And the gossip is that update will be officially put out by HTC in a few weeks.

Remember this.
if you want to go stock again in future (warranty purpose)
some providers have only provided an ota (only ruu with lower hboots) when upgrading to jb. So downgrading gets hard
It's not that easy to flash an ota as is a ruu.
If your s-off downgrading is no issue.

Relock and RUU for o2 Germany One XL

I have a One XL with o2 Germany Branding (CID: O2___102)
HBOOT 2.14
S-ON
ROM installed: CM 10.1
I want to relock it and flash a Stock ROM. Reason is that I want to send it to warranty.
As far as I know the HBOOT of the ROM must not be older than 2.14 and I can't find an appropriate ROM.
1. fastboot oem lock
2. launch RUU (I tried some, but it did't work)
Do I have to flash a Stock Recovery after that?

Running an RUU returns the phone to being completely stock, including recovery. I hope your don't have SuperCID or you're gonna brick. Click the link in my signature, you'll find RUU threads there.

The available o2 RUUs are too old

So you run an older RUU and then take OTAs, you can't just flash OTA files, it won't work. You need to return the phone to being completely stock first though, s-on, original CID, locked bootloader, original recovery.

I tried this file: RUU_EVITA_UL_ICS_40_S_O2_DE_2.29.207.1_Radio_0.19as.32.09.20_3_10.107.32.25L_release_272946_signed.exe, it didn't work (contentual: Error 170, USB Error)
The XL is S-ON (never was S-OFF), bootloader is relocked (fastboot oem lock), then I launched the RUU.exe.
What I read is, that I can't flash older ROMs (what ever that means). So, what can I do if the o2-RUUs are to old? Can I downgrade the HBOOT?
edit: Can I downgrade HBOOT with the JET (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940512) and then ran a RUU?
