Hi everyone,
I rooted my phone and played around with some custom roms, but I need to send my phone to get it repaired. I attempted to unroot and revert back to stock.
I followed a video, but I can't link it.
The steps were:
Flash the stock recovery.img
Relock the phone
Install the RUU
It was all going smoothly, until I realised my phone is on 2.17 and not 1.26, the RUU didn't work, and now it is stuck in the fastboot menu.
My CID is OPTUS001, is there anything I can do? I've been frantically searching, but I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this.
All help is incredibly appreciated!
your in the wrong forum you need to go here

Just download the proper ruu for your software version and run it with your phone connected to your pc in fastboot.

Hi
I have a DHD and it was rooted using One Click Radio-S off method and Visionary tool. This worked fine for me for 3 months. My DHD's camera stopped working so I had to send to HTC for repair. I had to install the latest Orange RRU onto the phone and sent the phone back. I have now recieved my fixed phone and Radio S-Off is still on as I didnt take it off. When I try to temproot using visionary, it states rooting and then just sits on a black screen. The only way for me to exit is press home but the phone runs sluggish and I have no root or Superuser.
Any ideas on how I can resolve?
Thanks in Advance
First of all, There is an Q&A sub-forum for this and it's quite easy to find the solution thru Google.
Whilst in repair they usually update your phone to the latest firmware. Since the 1.72.405.3 OTA one can no longer root on the original firmware. Just follow this guide to downgrade and then root/S-off.

Edit- Typo
Would I need to create a GoldCard. My device is already S-OFF and was branded on Orange before I got it unlocked.
Nope, just put the PD98IMG.zip into your SD and reboot to bootloader. No need to run any commands or make a goldcard.

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.

Do a nandroid backup of your current ROM.
Change CID to the one you're meant to have. You'll need to boot into fastboot mode and run the command "fastboot oem writecid xxx" where xxx is your correct cid.
Run the correct RUU for your phone to install the stock ROM. You'll need to run it from a windows PC with the HTC drivers installed but without HTC sync. If it won't work, put the phone into bootloader mode and try it again.
Once the RUU has successfully flashed, boot into fastboot mode and issue the command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" to return to S-on. Make sure that step is done last else you'll end up with a brick.
I recently did the above for a friend's phone to return for warranty repair. It was successful
So i flashed complete RUU ICS, get S-ON...and the wi-fi still doesn't work, I tried it for maybe half an hour...So i leaved it on the table and went play with my little son for an hour or so. Than a returned to my damn phone and wi-fi actually works!!! Quite strange, but great
Thx for help guys!
I've had some problems with my rooting, and want to start fresh by returning the whole phone to stock. I already know how to relock and unlock the bootloader and root my phone, but the problem I'm trying to understand is getting back to complete stock. My phones is S-On and the current ROM version is 2.26.401.3. I've seen that If you relock the bootloader and run the RUU the problem is solved. However, I can't use the RUU as the HTC Dev website has older versions and of course using an older ROM version doesn't work at all. How do I return the system and recovery back to what they were? I've been looking for hours, and I'm afraid that If I keep messing with this phone I will brick it.
What could work is if I found the boot.img, system.img and recovery.img files that I could fast boot over, but I tried that before using someone elses files and It messed things up.
This is the very similar procedure I followed but with my Wildfire S instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g5gEf2wgS4
Much help appreciated
