To some of you this might sound dumb, but I indulged in rooting and s-off my m8, and am initerested in going back to stock and update. Every time I use the 0P6BIMG.zip su always comes back with it and I am unable to update. Any idea on what I can do to fix this or no? Thanks in advance.

You would need to fastboot a stock recovery after you did everything needed to remove su... If you are a experience Linux user you can remove su from ruu before you flash it easy.

If you are on the latest firmware but your custom rom is not running the new firmware will your phone show the old firmware ? Asking because I tried updating firmware a while back but I"am running viperone 1.8 and I think they have not updated the rom to the new firmware I have no clue why they have not as most roms have. And I dont want to ask on the rom forum because they the devs are a bit touchy about people asking about updates on the rom and I tried asking on the rom forum before and no one replied about it. I just know verizon told me that the new firmware is supposed to help with weak coverage areas like where I"am and they advised me to update my software to 1.55.605.2 and my phone shows 1.54.401.5 CL325784 This was what verizon told me back on 6-28-14

You can check your firmware an radios via the boot loader that will show u what firmware your on...your build keys r only what firmware your ROM is based on. There for viper being base in the international firmware which is 1.54. That is why you are seeing that info under about phone. Hey no worries you can post an ask things here no one will jump you like other places. If you have not updated to 1.55 from the old one which I believe was 1.12 or something like that. I would update the firmware to get the latest stuff like radios/hboot an etc.

My bootloader screen does not list the firmware it shows the hboot number and the radio which the radio is the latest one, which may be because I had flashed the new radio on its own so I may still not have the new firmware. It also lists april 1st 2014 and the hboot is 3.16.0.0000 So viperone uses the international firmware for the cdma verizon and sprint that seems odd ? Is the 1.54 the newest international firmware then ?

What does your OS in boot loader? That would be your firmware. An yea viper plus others base there Roms off 1.54 firmware. I don't use viper myself but pretty sure that's always up to date.
Edit. You can update your firmware an run viper no problem at all if that is what your wondering. As my wife m8 does run viper an she is up to date on everything. No issue at all. FYI.

So I might have messed up my phone (hopefully not). I was trying to back to stock but the RUU comes with SU installed, I already used this to "lock" my bootloader, and now firewater when i run it says the following "there really isn't a helluva lot to do here. bye bye".
if you have any suggestions let me know. For what you told me I want to go back to unlocked but might have screwed the pooch with the bootloader lock.
Thanks again for all the help.

You can flash a rooted stock rom. There are several in the development forum.
ive been doing more reading as well i see i can install a ruu from rogers as well if im reading correctly
after i get rid of the s/u files and after i lock the bootloader?
is that what you mean by rooted stock roms
thanks elvis
What he means is you don't have to ruu back to stock and relock bootloader. You can just flash a sense ROM. However if you have hboot 1.14 you'll have to flash the boot IMG in adb.
If your rooted with 2.20 firmware and 1.14 hboot? I can send you a link with some walkthrough if you'd like?

I flashed the pack. Everything was ok, and I compared signal level with the One S of my colleague's. I had -81-83dBm and he has -83-85-87dBm so I think there is a improvement. I will check after 15min when we will be in another location. After that I will flash the radio on his device and see what happens.

Hi, I recently purchased an HTC one X and I get a message with red letters saying "this build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside of htc", also my htc has been ramdomly rebooting, I want to go back to the stock ROM because I think I might have a custom one and that can be the cause of the random rebooting.
I have the 4.1 oficial firmware but I am affraid to flash it because my phone can become a brick.... The phone was rooted with SuperSU but I have uninstalled it and checked with titanium and I can no longer get superuser rights(I suppose I have succesfully unrooted my phone), I have also checked on bootlader and I have S-ON so I dont know if I am under conditions to flash the oficial firmware without risk(I dont want a brik). I want the original firmware because of the upcoming 4.2 and sense 5.0 update HTC will be releasing.

Is that all??? with S-OFF there is absolute no risk of briking??
Nonononono there's a tradeoff. Because once you supercid you brick if you ruu while s-on. So you need to s-off so as not to brick while RUUing. Technically because there are no longer security checks you have a greater amount of risk If you do something stupid.

Just flash a stock rooted Rom would be my advice.. what are you gaining from ruu? Look at cleanrom, it's forsurely the most stable for this phone... Just my 2 cents cause if ya don't know what you're doing or are comfortable using adb odds are is you will booger up your new to you phone..

Updated firmware that is not part of the ROM. If you read the top post of CleanROM, its recommended to RUU first. Its not "required", but some folks have found it helpful to resolve some issues, like random reboots.

Nothing you do to your phone can remove all risk of bricking when you flash. There is always a risk.
But if you have S-On and SuperCID, and try to install certain OTAs or RUUs, a brick is certain (known brick condition).

You are confused about what CleanROM is. That is just the stock rooted ROM, not CleanROM.

you are currently on the latest software. I would recommend S-OFF if you plan to take official updates. If you're confused about terminology, there's a thread in my siganture "Are you ready to root?" That explains a lot of the terminology.

If you are S-on and SuperCID (which your phone likely is), and try to take the 3.18 Jellybean OTA, or run the 3.18 RUU, you will brick.
S-off will at least prevent bricking from this particular condition. The other option is change back to the AT&T CID.

You need s-off first. But you'll need to flash a ROM with an insecure kernel for s-off to work. One of the 4.1 ROMs should be fine.

No. OTA can only be flashed with stock recovery and you must come from EXACTLY the ROM/firmware the OTA was to officially update from.
You also can not flash firmware.zip from CWM or TWRP but instead use rebootRUU mode.
From recovery depending on hboot and s-off status you may be able to change the radio and boot image. You should assume CWM and TWRP is only to replace /system, everything else has a different procedure.

No you can't. I've told you exactly what you need to do already. Have you gotten s-off?

How to soff it's lengthy procedure or help me in returning to my stock recovery
sent from one x evita
I gave you a link for the s-off procedure. I also told you what version ROM you need to flash first to have the best chance of it working. Are you not reading my posts? What gave you the idea that flashing an OTA with TWRP would help after I've already given you the answer you need?

No, updating by that method is the harder way to do it. But hey, what do I know.

Are you even going to attempt to do any of the work for yourself? Search how to extract RUU.

@mahesh48 you've already been told not to create duplicate threads.

Why do you bother asking questions if you're not going to listen to the advice you're given?

Mr timaaa u only adviced me but I searched bit around and found that there is a stock Rom based on the 2.20 firmware so I thought of getting it from one of those Rom users
sent from one x evita
The ROM does not contain the recovery, it is a ROM. The RUU contains the recovery. That's why I said you need to extract it from the RUU. I'm happy to help people but if you're not going to listen why would I bother?

I don't even know why you think you need to install the 3.18 OTA anyway. It isn't even the firmware you need. You will still need to get s-off so you can update your firmware to the correct version anyway. You're just creating more work for yourself. I did tell you that but you didn't listen to that either.
