If you flashed a full Oreo firmware instead of just the dsp, radio and bluetooth images you won't be able to downgrade. Firmware can only be downgraded if S-OFF, and that's not yet available on Oreo. If that's the case you are very well stranded on Oreo for the time being.
To be honest those things are quite basic knowledge you should have learned before you started tinkering with your device. Today most people just start flashing away, while I - when I started it myself back on the Desire days - read up on XDA and other forums for about three weeks to know what is to know. Still reading and learning new ways to accomplish what I want from instructions by developers, themer and many other users. Might never stop doing so until I'll stop tinkering.

If he has the wrong or to old fastboot on his PC, he won't be able to flash the RUU, due to file size restrictions in older fastboot versions. On the other hand, I'd personally prefer the SD card method instead of fastboot RUUing, as that always avoids such problems.

Who to?
Please explain

I download ruu firmware, put it on root of ext. Sdcard.
Reboot the phone to download mode. In the starting of download mode, it give you to choose, vol + to flash, vol - to cancel.
The ruu firmware must rename to "2PZCIMG. Zip",
If you have twrp, you must wipe data.

May I ask why you decide to switch back?

There is a guide in the OP of my collection thread. No need to do a step by step yet again. Just got to the first page of my pinned topic in the guides section and you find it, as long as you care to read the first 5 posts carefully.

This is the link to download the firmware according the model of your device.
Wipe data is to prevent errors.

Bootloop issue

I am having issues after i flashed this Stock AT&T Deodexed JB 4.1.1 | Official AT&T 3.18.502.6 Update Rom..After htc logo at start up all i get is a blank screen and nothing else.S-off,unlocked bootloader & using TWRP here..
Need help as i am clueless right now :crying:
PS:Using At&t One x...Coming from a Nexus..Never thought that i'll get into this much trouble
Versions of TWRP after 2.3 have been known to be problematic. I'd try to install TWRP 2.3, or the official CWM.
So you mean to say that i should try 2.3 TWRP and try to flash the Rom again?
Can i run RUU after relocking the bootloader?
My PC can detect the phone in fastboot mode..

Precisely. What version of TWRP are you using currently? If its the latest (2.5.0.0), I'll bet this is the problem.
TWRP 2.3 seems to be the most stable version. I believe 2.3.1.1 is what you want. If you look through the TWRP thread, there are some folks that have posted links to this older version.

Since you are s-off, you don't need to relock the bootloader.

HTC security can be a pain. But they aren't the only manufacturer with security measures. Every Android device is different. Don't blame the device. Learn, adapt and conquer.
If you have s-off you should be able to flash RUUs to your heart's content, recovery has nothing to do with it. You can try the other twrp by flashing it in fastboot then try flashing the rom again, or try another rom after transferring it in recovery

I think OP is asking about RUU as an alternative, just to get the phone back up and running again; not as a way to install the stock rooted ROM he linked.
Ok guys thanks for the suggestions...
Yeah i was using TWRP 2.5.0.0...
I had no other choice but to go for RUU...But first i did relock the bootloader & then went for the RUU..
Whole process went smoothly & i got the phone booted up fine..Today i learnt a lesson..Never ever flash anything without doing a backup first..
Yeah i know..I had Desire HD once & i dont wanna think about how i rooted it lol.& today i got stuck in another Htc device..Well it was my mistake in the first place because i forgot to take a backup of stock Rom..
Anyways i wana ask something else now..i used fastboot oem lock command to relock the bootloader..Now how to unlock it again?
htcdev method?I already have the Unlock_code file..
Also now can i flash 4.1.1 RUU this time?Right now i am on 4.0.4..
Thanks guys once again..All of you really were of great help..
Okay i can unlock it again using this command 'fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin'

I don't recall the exact syntax. But you can reuse the unlock token, with the same fastboot command you unlocked with originally.

Now i am in search of 4.1.1 RUU

[Q] one xl bricked need help

I have a one xl cid rogers001 hboot 2.14, baseband 0.23a.3 2.09.29.... jb 4.1 with sense 4+
I tried unlock bootloader by htcdev => ok
install recovery => ok. and when i installed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236, it was stuck in bootloader. i fogot root my phone before.
so i relock my device, and tried to flash this stock rom using adb : OTA_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Rogers_WWE_3.17.631.2_0.23a.3 2.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_299850qstr7rxdbfuofl 6j.zip (was found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119610)
On cmd via fastboot i type fastboot erase cache =>ok
fastboot oem rebootRUU => ok
fastboot flash zip "filename.zip" It says " (remote: 12 signature verify fail") in the end cmd
What should i do now?
Thanks for reading and help me pls!!!!
Ok, first mistake is that you thought you needed to be rooted to flash the Viper ROM, you don't. All you need is an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, which you had. You were probably stuck in the bootloader because you forgot to flash the boot.img from the ROM zip with fastboot, you need to do this because you're s-on.
The next mistake you made was attempting to flash an OTA. I don't know what made you think that you could do that but it definitely wasn't found in this forum (or anywhere for that matter). An OTA is only a partial OS, it relies on the correct stock OS to already be installed on the device to build on top of to update the existing OS. It failed for obvious reasons.
Unlock your bootloader again, flash a custom recovery again, and flash the ROM again. Make sure you flash the boot.img this time and it should boot right up. I'd strongly recommend you read the Evita FAQ thread and the How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature. Diving into modifying your device without the proper level of knowledge is a really bad idea.

Did you perform a factory reset from the bootloader at some point? If so you've corrupted your sd card, you should never perform a factory reset from the bootloader. If this is the case you'll need to use TWRP to wipe your sd card, then you should be able to mount it to Windows and use Windows Explorer to format. Once this is done you can for a ROM across again.
Exactly which build of Viper did you try to flash? What's the exact filename? Did you check the md5 before flashing?

yes, i did it more than once, now it's fixed, but when i mount it to Windows using TWRP, nothing happen, so i can't format it. and the same things when i tried to sideload. But in fastboot mode, it usual.
and i flashed the newest rom in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236 ViperXL 4.2 and i didn't check the MD5

I asked for the exact filename of the ROM for a reason, I need that please. Also, exactly which recovery are you using?

Yes, you can flash a custom Rom without root. He already answered that. I strongly recommend reading up on your device before flashing anything else. I'd suggest starting with getting your phone s-off.

I disagree. I think it's a better idea for him to get his head around the simple operations like flashing ROMs before attempting s-off.

Hi,
me too i want to back to stock but i think it's to complicated, so what i know : 1st backup ur current custom rom (for safe ^^);
2nd restore stock recovery; 3th restore RUU for your A9 (hiaeuhl or hiaeul etc ... ) that all i know but i heard that we need to restore the /system partition (i dont backup this before install cm13 :/ ) if anybody know what to do exactly :fingers-crossed: :silly:
the s-on/s-off scare me too xD i dont know what to do to restore stock properly ^^' maybe we have another thread for that i look later
S-on/off has nothing to do with going back to stock (unless you want to change version).
if you flash RUU you'll be 100% stock but you'll lose everything including root
bootloader is fine i guess.

Verify that you have the correct RUU for your phone. If you do, and it still isn't working, try the RUU .exe while your phone is in download mode. Also, make sure you're not using a USB 3.0 port. Sometimes that can cause problems.

Gotcha, I'd recommend that you use the external sd/stock recovery method to return to stock. That's probably the most bulletproof way to return to stock. If you no longer have the stock recovery, no problem. It's pretty simple to extract the recovery from the RUU and flash it first.
Also, did you download the RUU again? It is possible that you may have a corrupted RUU.zip if it is crashing your fastboot.
So me i'm on CM13 nightlies with twrp and boot.img modified, to back to stock i had to flash stock recovery( * ) than flash the RUU( ** ) ? that all ?
*: i had to extract it from the RUU coresponding i'm good ? ^^"
**: my cid is HTC_034; my mid is 2PQ910000 so i had to take the 1.10.401.7 RUU i'm good ? ^^' or the 1.56.401.70 or 1.27.401.5 ? i'm lost, on my dowload mode it's say i'm on 1.10.401.7 (but i'm on cm13 latest nightlies ... >< )
Than, when i'm succefully back to stock if i choose to return to cm13 i can flash my backup(recovery+boot+/system+rom) of cm13 with twrp if firmware doesn't upgrade with OTA on stock i'm good ?
Lots of question i know ^^' thx for help.

If you use the sd card method (copy the RUU.zip to external sd) fastboot is no longer necessary. The RUU is flashed using the stock recovery. There's no fastboot to crash at that point.

You shouldn't have any trouble returning to stock at all. I've had quite a few Heineken at this point, but flashing boot, recovery, and system of your stock rom is no problem at all if you have backups.

Could you state how this is done? I recently moved to the A9 from having the M7 since it came out, (which had NO external SD card support) , so this is the 1st I'm hearing of being able to apply an RUU Without fastboot... Does the RUU have to be in any specific folder, or the root of the external SD card?
Any details would be GREATLY appreciated.

This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63640734&postcount=2 explains in detail. I THINK this utilizes the stock recovery in the process. In any case, it allows flashing an RUU.zip without any fastboot involvement.
It's possible to return s-on and bootloader locked (not relocked)? Thank's.

You shouldn't have any trouble returning to stock at all. I've had quite a few Heineken at this point, but flashing boot, recovery, and system of your stock rom is no problem at all if you have backups.

Yes i know but u dont understand me i think, for the RUU there 3 version for my phone 1.10 -> 1.27 -> 1.56 so witch one i had to take ? CM13 run with 1.27 ? 1.10 with cm13 isn't possible no ? because on my download mode(bootloader) it's say : OS-1.10.401.7 in theory i would take the 1.10.401.7 RUU but a man (on this forum) tell me this was a bug of cm13 and its run with 1.27 it's wrong ??

Any one of the three would return you to stock, as long as the version number is greater than or equal to the firmware that you have installed. (Which is the topic of this tread...)
As far as compatibility with CM, you should check that thread...but I think CM is compatible with the 1.27 firmware. If you're still s-on, you DO NOT want to upgrade the firmware to a newer version than CM supports, if you intend to use CM.

I'm sure it's possible...just a matter of finding exactly what you need to hex edit and where it is. Experimenting with this likely carries a chance of bricking your device, since the variables would have to be used by HBOOT and/or download mode. Maybe someone else has already accomplished this?

You must use htc_fastboot.exe to flash a RUU, not the regular fastboot.exe from the android sdk.

The stock recovery is not used when flashing a RUU from the sdcard. The bootloader handles the process, not the recovery. Stock recovery isn't needed at all, using fastboot or the sdcard methods.

[OTA] Official Marshmallow build MCG24.251-5

WARNING: THIS HAS BRICKED PHONES! It is suspected that having an encrypted phone causes these bricks, but that has not been confirmed. If your data partition is encrypted, it is extra important that you perform a factory reset before taking this OTA. Doing this will remove the encryption.
WARNING: INSTALLING THIS ON A LOCKED BOOTLOADER WILL ELIMINATE ALL CHANCE OF YOU EVER UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER.
If your bootloader is unlocked, it will not be re-locked after this update.
Do NOT flash this using TWRP. If you want to do that, use this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-mcg24-251-5-100-stock-t3512949
So if you're a bad enough dude to flash this anyway, follow these instructions:
1. Backup all data on your phone. It will be lost.
2. If your bootloader is locked, make sure you are on SU4TL-49. If you aren't, take all available OTAs until you are.
3. If your bootloader is unlocked and you have TWRP installed, flash SU4TL-49 using this package: https://mega.nz/#!3xRhiaSR!KxH2Ya_BYK4zBjrxmej7dqaaDJVT1coTFJVJ5Fvb2WM
4. If you have TWRP installed on your phone, download the stock SU4TL-49 recovery here: https://mega.nz/#!L1AkQD4T!qoZIlLa-wuUBLMEi_gE574meiHd6Pehb34a-x3Gb-V8 and install it using the install image option in the install menu in TWRP. Reboot to recovery.
3. Perform a factory reset using the stock recovery menu. This will wipe all data and ensure that everything is formatted exactly as it should be.
4. Boot the phone normally and place the marshmallow update on the root of the directory that pops up when you plug in your phone.
5. Boot to recovery and at the stock recovery menu, select "apply update from sdcard."
6. Select the update and cross your fingers.
Get the update here: https://mega.nz/#!v0pRwThS!Pz9xuOSPjiOMtjlORkFrZ_ok0GTKqCfGzi5KmbDpHQ8

I'm positive. I seem to remember they did the same thing with SU4TL-49. The OTA was named after SU4TL-44 for some reason.
This is the stock recovery version, correct?

I'm testing the TWRP version now. It should be up shortly.
EDIT: I flashed it and it seems to work fine. Uploading now. Should be up in a few hours. I'll check on it after I go run some errands real quick.
Despite having software status report official, not modified, I too got a status 7 error. Downloading again.

This used to always be Motorola's naming scheme. New updates were named after the firmware version they replaced.
Sweet. I am going to wait till it is more stable. I do have a bad esn Turbo but I will need to unlock to bootloader to test.
Mirror for people having "quota exceeded" error at Mega
https://yadi.sk/d/AhmhE-yX32E84p
Rename to Blur_Version.24.81.5.quark_verizon.verizon.en.US.zip before use, throw in internal storage, and check for updates.
PS: I have 64Gb Employee Edition, and still had not receive update by air. What a shame, VZ! )

Error 7? Are you trying to flash this in TWRP? Because you can't do that with this package. You need the stock recovery. I'm uploading a TWRP-friendly version now, but the internet is being slow today.

Negative. Stock recovery on a system that reports "Official". I'm at a loss.

Strange. Try reflashing SU4TL-49. If my TWRP package doesn't do it for you, use the full firmware package and do it manually with fastboot.
Installed successfully on two devices.
...
kitcostantino, did you refresh system, kernel, modem and recovery by SU4TL-49? Are you sure you didn't mess with Turbo Maxx ROMs in the past? Foreign bootloader can cause even brick, not just error. See bootloader status at fastboot mode should be " locked, status 0"

lol. lawd, No. Ive been rocking status 3 for over a year.
As a tip, if anyone else with an unlocked bootloader runs into this,
what i had to do was restore my su-44 unmodified backup, OTA to SU-49, and then, after confirming my
q/e status was 0/1 i was able to update via the file in my Mega download folder. all is well now. they even added the newer version of command center. sweet. thank you all!!

Um, I couldn't tell you.i be been unlocked since the day Sunshine could unlocked our bootloader's. What I can tell you is you should absolutely unlock that via Sunshine before you even dream of applying this update. There will never be another opportunity.
Just my
.02. This is likely the last update for this phone, and your only chance of seeing N is via custom Roms.

[How-to][ruu] Flash ruu.zip to factory

If you have some problem with your phone like me (Settings app fc always) you can download your RUU.zip and flash it.
If your bootloader unloced no problem no need to relock.
Go to download mode and type:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Now your booted to the black HTC screen. Make sure your Rom.zip file is in your adb/fastboot folder
Code:
htc_fastboot flash zip Rom.zip
This takes a couple minutes and you will most likely get a error (pre-hboot update: please flush immediately) and maybe your phone reboot sometimes.
Make sure device is still in ruu mode(black HTC screen).
Let it run and it should finish this time
After completed :
Code:
fastboot reboot
It will reboot to a fully stock build.
Just remember, anytime you get a "flush immediately" error, just make sure your still in ruu mode and reflash the zip.
The most common error is typically :
FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately )
Enjoy your stock phone again.

You can't make a downgrade with out S-OFF!!!

HTC Fastboot in 2nd post. You only need paste to fastboot and adb folder.
If you want to decrypt RUU you can use : HTC RUU Decrypt tool . You will got a system.img, boot.img, recovery.img etc...
HTC Fastboot exe : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934550031
Thank you. I was wondering how to flashing the zips.
Thanks OP.
I want to extract the stock boot and recovery from RUU but it appears the format of RUU provided here is different from the others.
Is it still possible to extract them?
And could this RUU rename to 2Q4DIMG.zip and place to sdcard and flash from device with download mode?

If y want to decrypt the RUU y need this : HTC RUU Decrypt tool
You can decrypt the ruu file and y can find the system.img, boot.img, recovery.img.
I think you can place to sdcard but i didn't try this.

Hi, I flashed the firmware from the microsd (fimware 1.10.400.23). As with htc 11 normal model, just rename the firmware file corresponding to the phone model in 2Q4DIMG.zip, put it in the sd card, start htc u11 plus in download mode and it's done. There is no need to have unlocked bootloader.

I tried to downgrade from 1.24.401.2 to 1.10.401.23 with the SD-card method (non root) because of wakelocks and the low percentage of Deep Sleep of screen time off (confirmed today by HTC Nordic today and that HTC are working on a new update. The support person didn't know any ETA).
Everything seems okay underway when flashing but after boot and finishing the setup procedure, Wifi, Google account etc. I'm still on 1.24.401.2. I used the 1.10.401.23 in the first post.
Have anyone else tried to downgrade with non root?

My HK model got an update today to 1.24.400.03 and devcheck is reporting 61% deep sleep.
I have had almost none since the update from 1.10 to 1.24.400.01. the .03 update seems to have solved this.
