Reverting OTA?

The latest OTA update has made my phone useless as a
phone, as it now gets no mobile reception...
Is there a way to reverse this upgrade?
My other option is a custom ROM, but i would prefer to stay stock at the moment if at all possible.

you can always run an RUU - One that doesnt contain the update

I was just educating myself on RUUs.
does it matter which one i run? i think my phone is unlocked/unbranded (i bought it second hand) but i'm not sure
EDIT: Nevermind, i checked my baseband against the list of RUUs and found that it is in fact unbranded. Now i know which one to get... just need FileFsctory to let me get it...

which is it you need ? Chances are there's a mirror somewhere

found a mirror, thanks

back to start... i tried to install the 1.53 version and it game an error 140 (bootloader)

I think its because the OTA updated the bootloader !
you cannot downgrade using RUU unless you have S-OFF

Well, i guess i'll have to root and install a custom ROM.
Thanks for the help!

what part do you want to revert ? The radio update ? Cause if so, there is a way to do this

Yeah, the radio. When i was 0.15 radio it worked, now with 0.16 it doesn't

Ok have a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684477
I dont think you have to have CWM installed on your device, You just need it on your PC, So you can boot into it.

Thanks! can't seem to find a 0.15 radio though

OP does know the consequences of rooting devices right? It avoids your warrenty.
So just want to make sure, do you not get reception anywhere or only at certain area? If the former, it may indicate a fault on your phone caused by the update and you should not deal with it by rooting cos there is a chance rooting and downgrading may not fix it then you would have no where to go. The right move IMO, is to take the phone back to point of sale and demand an exchange. Most of users like me do not have such problem after update.
Just to remind, if you know what you are doing, by all means.

The point of sale is a few thousand kilometers away
No warranty in my country, so i have to figure this out by myself
I have rooted and installed roms on previous phones, but this one seems more... complicated

Look here http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/extract-rom-from-ruu once extracted the rom.zip, open it up and take out the radio.img.
put it in the place where you keep all your adb stuff. and flash it using the method linked a few posts back

Went though the whole process but baseband version still reads 0.16xxxxxxxx
It doesn't seem to have worked

Well, at this point i'm fairly certain i need to rollback my radio, as i installed CM9 and still no cell signal. I checked and it had the same baseband as the 1.78 ROM.

ota update to 4.1.1 bricked my phone.

i had plenty of battery life and was on 2.20 4.0.4 update prior to installing this OTA. now my phone wont even turn on after i did the update nor will it charge and have the light come on.. any ideas?

Let me guess. You had supercid??

if supercid gives problems on the at&t ota, then you should of been s-off cause i did ota fine with s-off and supercid.

idk i havent really heard of it but maybe. anyway to fix this now or ?

no fix

SuperCID is when you changed the CID on your phone to 1111111 when/if you tried to root your phone. Here's a brief explanation by another XDA poster.
gol_n_dal said:
Certain things, e.g. RUUs, need to have the correct Carrier ID on the phone in order to install via the bootloader or recovery using the PG58IMG.zip process. The Latest Firmware packs for example are grouped together into sets, this is to allow you to install them if you don't have SuperCID. If you have got SuperCID you can install any of them as all the CID checks pass.
Another reason to change the CID if to allow you to install a generic RUU instead of the one that came with the phone, this allows you to remove the bloatware. For example I'm on Vodafone and I installed the generic Euro RUU purely to get rig of the Vodafone crap that came pre-installed.
The process to change it back is identical to the way you write the SuperCID just using your original CID (mine for example is VODAP001). IIRC HTC__01 is the generic CID

Unfortunately, I am on the same boat you are, I did not change my CID from 1's back to it's original and the update bricked my phone. It own't power on or boot into anything, I'm crossing my fingers that the AT&T store will believe me when I say "I don't know what happened, can you fix it?" and give me a new phone.

It is not known if super-cid causes issues with doing an OTA! I have super-cid and s-off, and I applied the AT&T OTA without any problems after using the 2.20 RUU to go back to stock. It may be that super-cid causes issues if you are not s-off, but I don't think anyone really knows if it is definitely the presence of the super-cid that is causing the problems. It could be, but given that some people don't have any problems, it could be anything.

S-off is precisely the reason you didn't brick. S-off by definition means that all security checks are bypassed, including CID check.

Hmm so if I had S-Off and Supercid and update via OTA sent directly from att not flashed any other way I will be ok?

If you were S-Off and SuperCID then the OTA should not affect you.
But. WHY are people wanting the stock OTA? It's causing issues because some people don't know if it's going to brick their phones. Please just wait until custom ROMs come based on the OTA. It's much much much easier

Yup, now I (and hopefully people who read this thread) know better for next time.
I'm happy to report that AT&T swapped out my HTC One X for a new one and 4.1.1 is pretty sweet! I'm going to wait a while before unlocking and next time I'll make sure to have S-off
I found this thread useful, in that it gave me "closure" after trying desperately to revive my bricked phone for an hour. Got some Z's and woke up to a new phone - they couldn't turn it on at the AT&T service center and gave me a few examples of what could've happen. One of them was "using third party rom's" but they didn't accuse me of anything, they replaced my phone and I was on my way.

I seriously don't get why anyone updates ota. We have a flashable rom typically with a day

The guy at the service station didn't really ask me anything other than "what's wrong with your phone?" and I replied "it's not turning on." he said ok and plugged it into his machines and said he was going to run some tests and to take a seat. Five minutes later he said it's not turning on and he's going to replace it, I asked him what could've happen and he gave a few examples (including third party roms, etc) but that it could have been anything from a corrupt file to dropping it on the floor.

For me personally, I couldn't get most of the ROM's to work properly, if at all. I kept getting errors like " com.google.process.gapps has stopped working" or something similar and I'd have no phone service (for example) which is why I went back to stock.

[Q] HTc One X (at&t) Updating Error (155)

Good Day,
I recently tried to update my HTC One X (at&t) phone using the manual installation process as I am unable to do it OTA. I downloaded the RUU from HTC suport site and followed all the instructions but whenever the process reaches 29% in updating sysytemit gives me the error code (155) unkown error. The progress bar on the phone fills up green and at the end of the bar there is a small triangle with an exclamation mark at the end. That is not all when I unplug the phone it shows the HTC logo with four exclamation marks, one in each corner. And the phone doesn't turn on at all, no matter how much I try rebooting it. I have tried the installation process a number of times with the same result. How can I resolve this problem and How can I get my phone to turn on as normal. Please help me . I really love this phone my wife bought it for me just two months ago.
Yours Kindly
Roger Fontenelle

More info needed. Was the phone modified at all before you were doing this? Which RUU were you using? What were your bootloader details?

The bootloader is locked. I used the RUU from the HTC support site. I recently used this Ruu htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012. I have gotten a little further the process now reaches 43% and says image update failure error 159.

Ok, but the question was has the phone been modified at all before? I guess you don't know what the bootloader details are/were?

RUU

Ok so the phone has been modified. Whatever you do, do not run any RUU higher than 2.20, it will brick your device. Do you happen to know what firmware version the phone was on before attempting to run the RUU? And what is the purpose of running the RUU?

I ran this RUU and got it to work, thanks very much for attending to my post. Just t one question, how can i update this phone to the htc sense 4+ or jelly bean 4.1 and what do you mean by modified? My phone is unlocked that's how i got it out of the box. It's has at&t app on it but not registered to at&t as I am out of the US.

I'm not sure where you bought the phone, but it wasn't brand new. There are a few signs of this. Firstly, if the phone was brand new it would be on a much later/newer firmware/software version than it was. Next, the phone is s-off, the likelihood of the phone being shipped out of the factory like that is extremely low (I've seen only one case). Lastly, the phone has SuperCID (11111111 as opposed to CWS__001), the likelihood of the phone shipping out of the factory like that is also extremely low.
Does the phone have the HTC logo at the top of the screen or the at&t logo?

No actually the only time I see the at&t logo is when it's starting up and on the apps on the phone. Bought it on Amazon it said new

It's definitely a used phone, I hope you didn't pay too much for it. If you want to update it to 4.1 and Sense 4+ you can use the at&t 3.18 RUU, upon closer inspection of your bootloader details you have s-off so it's completely safe to do so. I didn't notice you had s-off earlier when I advised you not to do so, apologies for that.

It's rather unfortunate that it's a used phone I put so much effort into research on this phone before I bought it. It was under the new section that why I purchased it my wife don't like buying used item especially phones. Paid $330US for it. So what you are saying to me is that as I have installed the ics on it version4.0 I can update using the link you privided. Here are the details of the phone.
Android Version 4.0.4
HtC Sense Version 4.0
Software number 2.20.502.7710RD
HTC SDK API LEVEL 4.23
HTC EXTENSION VERSION 403_1_GA_20

It is a shame, but as long as it all works ok I wouldn't worry too much. For some reason the whole link didn't post properly before so here it is again:

That's the RUU Collection thread, you'll find links to many RUUs there, but the one that's probably best for you if you want 4.1 and Sense 4+ is the HTC/Singtel Singapore 3.17 RUU.
Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5 is available for our phones too now, you can take an OTA update after running the RUU to get that.

Thaks very much for your assistance, you have proven yourself invaluable by your contributuion towards my situation. Jus t one more question. As you have suggested. The HTc singetel Ruu that you suggested I use, would take me to Android 4.1 with HTC sense 4+ with no problems and then from there I can update ota for Android 4.2.2 with HTc Sense 5.

Taking an OTA on a modified phone can be somewhat risky, I don't have any first-hand experience but I believe you'd need to change your CID to the CID that the OTA is looking for, and have stock recovery. In my opinion it's probably a better idea to unlock your bootloader again, install TWRP recovery, and flash one of the many Android 4.2.2 Sense 5 ROMs we have available in our development section.
Part of the beauty of having the unlocked bootloader is that you can easily flash a different ROM if you decide you want a change. You'll have dozens of ROMs to choose from, from Sense to aosp. Plus many features that a stock phone just can't offer.

Current OTA's will install correctly if:
1)s-off (required with supercid to prevent bricks but otherwise not required)
2)supercid (or valid cid for ruu/ota)
3)locked bootloader
4)RUU to desired base (this will also give you the correct recovery at the same time)
5)accept ota
Edit:
oh also:
6)I believe the mid should match unless you are s-off/supercid also.

Was it from Amazon directly, or a 3rd party that sells via Amazon? Either way, if it was explicitly describes as new (and not used or refurbished), I would contact the seller and seek at least a partial refund based on an incorrect or even fraudulent description. The phone is almost certainly used, as its SuperCID and S-off. And $330 is a lot to pay for a used AT&T One X. The going rate for this device used on eBay seems to be $200, give or take.
If such resolution by the seller is important to you, I'd advice looking into it before any further modification of the phone.

I would agree with this. As long as you research and are comfortable with what root and unlocked bootloader mean, I'd say that having a modified phone is much better than returning to stock AT&T software.

I agree totally. The phone is definitely second-hand, not only is it SuperCID and s-off but it's also running an at&t ROM on a non at&t device. I'd be hounding for a partial refund.

3rd party seller on Amazon? If they don't offer any way to remedy the problem, threaten to escalate the issue and report them to Amazon as a fraudulent merchant.
If they are a reputable seller, they should make good on this. If they aren't reputable, no reason to play nice. Report them and give them negative feedback.

Hey Timaaa,
Can't seem to find the RUU that you suggested in the thread, Is it possible that you can send me the direct link to get the HTC/Singtel Singapore 3.17 RUU. Thanks a lot. The site doesn't seem to be working anymore or is not responding. busylawson.com shows problem locating page.

Need help finding correct RUU to return to stock

I'd like to return to stock JB for moonshine S-OFF, and the software version that was last installed before I rooted was 3.14.531.17 710RD. This was the small update that was released to fix the battery drain after the release of JB for the One S. It was released right after 3.14.531.11, which I see an RUU for. My question is: Can I use the 3.14.531.11 RUU (detailed RUU name: RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_TMOUS_3.14.531.11_Radio_1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L_release_309489_signed_ICS_2) even though I upgraded, before rooting and installing CM10.1, to 3.14.531.17? All other relevant information matches.
Thanks.
EDIT: Nevermind, stupid question. Of course that number denotes the software version so I'll be fine for S-OFF as long as I don't OTA upgrade to 3.14.531.17.

can someone confirm this? been trying to find info on this, having no luck.

I don't know if you need them to match but I do know here is the link for the last updates RUU

Yes, this is correct. Use that RUU.exe to return to stock, and it will also work when using Moonshine.
That RUU.exe is for U.S. tmobile users.

Thanks for the info. Would have responded sooner but didn't notice your response till now. still quite knew to android (haven't even owned mine a month) , so have been reading A LOT.. You knew exactly what I was trying to achieve there. Success!! Got s-off, and supercid. Running MaximusHD 10.0.0 right now. One more quick question though if you don't mind. Can there be issues switching between mods, as long as I don't go ruu obviously. Thanks for your time.

Mods? I don't use any mods on Maximus, so I don't know about that.
If you mean switching between ROMs when you have Maximus installed, then yes, you need to downgrade your firmware to try any other rom after Maximus is installed.

Going Back to 100% Stock.

Is there a way to do this? I've gone through forums, and haven't seen anything concrete.

If you're S-OFF (if not you can gain it by using Sunshine you can do an RUU, that will take you back to about as stock as you can get e.g stock firmware, stock ROM, stock recovery stock etc.
This thread will tell you most of the things you'd need to do.
I highly advise against attempting to go S-ON or re-locking your bootloader as S-ON has a high probability of failure and or bricking your device.
My personal recommendation would be to just take the RUU and if if I remember correctly you can make your ***UNLOCKED*** tag falsely show ***LOCKED*** instead, not sure though so if that interests you just Google it or ask.
EDIT: Here is the link to the tutorial on setting your UNLOCKED tag to LOCKED. Warning though I have not tested this or heard of anyone testing it so DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

As far as I know they do not care if your phone is S-OFF or unlocked, only that it is running the stock firmware, ROM & recovery. Reason behind this is some of their phones are manufactured and shipped already S-OFF on 'accident', so as long as you do the RUU you should be perfectly fine, at least that is what everyone has said thus far.

Your risk not mine, if you're unsure then read through some other threads until you feel confident enough or wait for another person to answer.
& Sorry if I made you a bit unconfident with my last post, I have never had to return another phone to them so all I'm offering you is what I know and or have read from others who have done what you want to do. I'm quite sure that will work as many other people have claimed it worked for them but as with anything I could be wrong which is why I did not include a "*100% GUARANTEED!*" sign. Just offering support, always do your own research too, just as I had done to find that out.

Since it's your RUU, is this RUU returning us to stock or stock-rooted?
