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.

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?

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???

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.

if you've unlocked your hboot, you need to relock it and then you can install a RUU.

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 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).

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.

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.
I cannot boot into ROM, but stuck at Bootloader. And I'm relocked.
The only thing I have is Fastboot USB.
I would like to RUU into a Stock ROM. How to do so?
Well ruu should be pretty self explanatory. If you are in the boot loader just run the ruu. Since you are relocked shouldn't take much work. Are you s-off? Why not just grab an AT&T ROM and flash it over. Sure it will be rooted, but delete the super user app
Sent from my Carbon-ize Evita using xda-developers app
Yeah, I just figured it. RUU was some executable file. I thought it was more complicated. No I'll just leave it like this and not S-Off, thanks. Apparently I'm not more than 30% battery though. But how do I see the battery from the Bootloader screen?
I dont believe you can. Only from recovery. Just let it charge for about 20-30 mins and you should be good

I think probably I can only install 3.17 RUU is because my last working ROM was CM10.1. After that I tried Sense ROMs but many failed hence I thought of doing Relock and RUU.
Is there any other thing I can do in my bootloader state? I tried Factory Reset.
Is it possible I attain S-OFF from here and flash recovery and flash OTA from there?
Or even better yet, can I try doing OTA from this state?

I'm telling you this because I don't want you to go through what I did.
I'm on a telus one x, did not need super cid to unlock my bootloader. I relocked and flashed stock recovery, ran RUU. The RUU completed successfully but my phone was a full brick. Only JTAG would have saved it.
If you want to RUU, re-unlock your bootloader, flash recovery, flash stock rooted sense rom, hex edit your CID to 11111111 and S-OFF, then RUU. It's a lot safer now that you've unlocked your bootloader and rooted.

It's okay, I was running an international One XL, and luckily RUU was smooth, now the problem is solved and my phone has been sold and changed hands .
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.

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.

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.

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

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.
