RUU Stock

Hi
I have accidentaly wiped system and sd card in CWM and cant mount via usb. I cannot find a stock HTC One X RUU and I had downloaded o2 RUU (would prefer carrier branded as want to return!!! although doesn't matter) but that was corrupted and downloaded off a chiness site that has stopped hosting it!
Please help me!
Doesnt matter if all you can find is a recovery that you can mount USB!! That would be great!!
Thank you very much guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you very much for all of your help! I have solved my issue.
I needed to download the stock o2 uk RUU and relock the bootloader and run the program in fast boot. I have just made my nandroid backup and planning to upload it so anyone else can use it! (it wont have my details on, just as if the os has been installed from scratch)

Please read before posting/flashing/wiping.
What is the CID of your device. You can only flash a stock RUU with matching CID.
So you need to download the correct RUU for your device.
All stock RUUs available are here

.
Keep thread on topic please

How do I find my CID?

If you would have spent 10 seconds looking in the Dev thread you would have found a list of all the available RUU's to download.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604)
Download your required RUU, boot into Fastboot-USB and run.
Next time be more careful and fully understand what you are doing before doing it otherwise you will end up with a £600 paperweight.

That is why I started this thread!!! I don't know which is the correct one!!! I started on o2 uk rom and then flashed android revolution!!!

You've just answered your own question - look for the RUU with o2 UK in the name...

Flash the one that says o2 UK then?
Though I also wonder. How do you match CID to the firmware package? When I try to get my CID in fastboot or w/e, it says no CID like i've read around here. Any thoughts?

i unlocked the bootloader so if the op did the same their CID will be "none" and therefore the RUU wont flash.

Ahh, that is what I did. Does anyone know how to get around this or relock it. I understood that when you relock it, the CID doesnt change

You can't get around it nor you can change the CID unless we get S-OFF.

Okay, I guess i will have to wait until the clockwork recovery gets USB mount!

Sorry but if you just want to return to stock you can do
1. Restore you nandroid backup, flash stock recovery and then relock the bootloader.
OR
2. You can flash stock recovery, relock bootloader and then run the RUU that corresponds to your CID/region.

I am probably answering my own question my CID is H3G_001. There doesnt appear to a 3 mobile ruu at all. Any help here? Fortunately its not urgent but may be handy if/when they release the upgrade

Thank you, very much. That was all I needed. Why does everyone have to bee rude? Be kine to a newbie!! I have only had an iPhone and a Dell Streak before this device!

You have to relock the bootloader to flash the RUU

how are you guys checking CID?
Using terminal emulator? do you need root?
I tried ADB shell command since the fastboot command doesn't work, and I get error:device not detected

CID getter from the market.

I dont know, sorry. I do know though that mine came originally with 02 uk rom and that CID will only work with the one rom that came originally with your phone. It may be different for unlocked devices.
Thank you very much for everyone's help

[Q] I think I'm in so much trouble.... Need help please!

Hey guys,
I dropped my HTC One M8 today, and now it has a crack in the screen.
Well, I wanted to go back to the store to get it replaced under warranty, but I needed to unroot & go back to stock first.
So at home I tried to go back to stock and stuff, but it just didn't work. That is where **** hit the fan.
Right now, I can't boot into Android, can't boot intro recovery. Everytime I start my phone it boots into FASTBOOT USB, and I have the following screen: *see attachment*
I really don't know what to do, I've been searching for serveral hours and my guess is I hard-bricked it...
Please, please tell me there is a way to make it boot into android again...?

Did you try to run a ruu? See if you can find a ruu for your device model and carrier you can run ruu.exe from a windows computer in fast boot USB mode

Do you still have TWRP installed? Boot into recovery from your bootloader, and restore a backup. (You should have made one before you tried returning to stock)

Yea being s-on I don't think you can what is your cid and what carrier do you have maybe someone can modify one of the ruus to work with your cid cause it seems the ruu is checking your cid and it doesn't match for the ruu so it isn't working. Have you tried reflashing twrp and seeing if you can enter recovery again then maybe restore one of the backups from the backups thread. I don't know how much help I can actually be cause I'm just a flasher hopefully someone with more experience and knowledge can jump in and help you I'm just suggesting what I would do in your situation. I hope you get your phone booted again though

Omg i did it
I just started the whole process again of unlocking my bootloader and stuff, using the AOI Toolkit, and I am in the PhiliZ Touch CLockworkmod now ! Thank you all for helping me, I will carefully unroot now and bring my phone back

First of all, he can't boot into system.
Second of all, everything you've mentioned needs S-Off. He is S-On.
Third of all, HTC US is different than other regions. Most of the other RUUs that have been made available are not found on HTC's websites. Most are leaked versions, I believe.
And no. It isn't in any RUU threads on XDA.

I started by helping him in another thread. I would have continued helping him here, but I had to go out to do real life stuff.
Anyway, the suggestions you gave wouldn't have worked.

Just got an M9 today and need some tips...

Hello everyone, I I just got an M9 at my local Telus store and I would like to be able to do everything with it like I am able to do with my M7, so I know I will need to use sunshine to get S-OFF and I would also like to be able to change everything from the rom to the kernel to the OS, everything, so I was just wondering if someone could let me know the best order to go about doing things, meaning should I do sunshine first then worry about flashing a recovery and all that, or should I do the recovery first so that I can backup the phones current state? The phone currently says this in the hboot screen:
*** LOCKED ***
LK-1.0.0.0000
OS-1.32.661.6
and this is what it says on the phones Setting-About-Software screen:
Android version
5.0.2
HTC Sense version
7.0
Like I mentioned before, it would probably be best if I can make a backup of the phones current state just in case there are any issues, so to do that I know I need a recovery, but do I need to do the HTC Dev unlocker before I can do so? or do I have to flash a recovery first before everything else?
Now, before anyone gets upset with me for asking these questions because they have most likely been asked 1000 times before, I am not asking to be spoon feed all the details step by step, I am just asking to be pointed in the right direction and asking for you guy's opinions on the best way to go about doing things so that I do them right the first time... So if anyone could please take a minute to help me out and get me pointed in the right direction then it would be greatly appreciated... thank you very much...

First thing you should do is unlock your bootloader. After that you can install twrp and flash supersu (most can be found here) Once you are rooted run sunshine. After that the sky is the limit. You will be free to flash anything and everything. I know because I've done it. If you want to convert to a developers edition there is a post here. Personally I do not use my stock recovery or system image backups to download ota's. I prefer to run an RUU and do fresh installs. Reason why is because I am constantly changing firmware and roms. A lot of roms are based on the WWE firmware.
let me know if you have any more questions

Thank you very much for the tips.. Do I use the HTC Dev website to unlock the bootloader? I seen a link in the dev thread that said Unlock bootloader without HTCDev(root required), but I bet that the HTCDev way is probably the best best. which did you use? I'm not at home right now so I will begin when I get home later on tonight and if I need anything else I will post back, plus I post back to say how everything goes..

I've used htcdev for all 2 out o 3 of my m9's. third one is a developer edition so it wasn't needed.
just note download mode is fastboot mode on the m9. htcdev says to boot to fastboot mode and if you do not know than you can waste hours trying to figure it out.

Ok so I got the bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed, right now I am taking a backup of the phones current state just in case. Now I just need to flash the SuperSU beta from the link you provided and then run sunshine, after that I would like to flash the latest OS for my phone, but I am not sure which version to use, I think this one is correct http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/firmware-red-t3097678 but I am not 100% sure, do you know if this is the correct latest version for my phone?
Also should I supercid my phone before updating the firmware by entering "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" while in download mode? because my cid is TELUS001 and I do not see that cid listed in the androidinfo.txt file that is in the firmware zip...
Thanks again for all your help...
**UPDATE** I now have S-OFF, I can't believe how smooth the whole process is now with sunshine compared to almost all of my other HTC phones, hats off to those guys for sure... Thank you very much for getting me this far!!! I appreciate it very much...

I was actually just going to tell you to type
Code:
fastboot getvar all
while in download mode and to copy and paste that into a file a text file somewhere so you always have it. then you can supercid. I actually have never seen any firmware for your carrier. what is your mid? this is where I get all of my firmware from. I learned how to remove the red text using hex editor and I also throw in a custom splash screen before I flash.
Here is a link for your stock firmware. not sure what the most up to date is but most custom roms are using the WWE firmware anyways.
p.s. either quote me or tag me if you need a faster response. I'm not getting notifications otherwise.

If going to dev ed I have had better luck running an RUU and accepting ota's as far as the radio goes. my reception went from 2 bars to full bars doing it that way verses just flashing the newest firmware. But it is a very long and tedious process and since you just got your m9 I'm sure you want to use it already..
What rom are you thinking about flashing?

@bigp951
Ok so I got the firmware updated to the latest international version 2.10 and was able to flash the ViperOne Rom and I love it just like I did for my M7... Everything is working great, except I have the problem that you mentioned would happen, I only show 1 bar for my signal strength, could you please let me know exactly what you had to do to fix it? Also, I would just like to say thank you once more, you helped me out a great deal and you made my upgrade to the M9 an absolute cake walk, so thank you very much for everything and for explaining the proper steps to take, I appreciate it very much...

Help! possibly bricked my phone, RUU bypass cid check/reset modified flag

Hello, so I derped really bad here and believe I bricked my phone. I am really stressing out here as I was in the process of reverting my phone to stock due to an advanced replacement HTC sent me. If I dont get my device back to them I will be charged for the replacement phone.
I had an ATT phone that was been flashed to the developers version. I HAD s-off and an unlocked bootloader.
I was in the process of modifying the CID and MID to match the ATT version of the phone so I could RUU the phone back to ATT. I accidentally set the wrong CID of DWS_0001 as I typed a D instead of a C. My MID is OPJA11000 which I luckily got correct.
Thinking I had the correct CID I relocked the bootloader and turned S back on. I then when to run the RUU for ATT and of course it failed.
My big problem is the RUU wiped out my recovery partition and now get Recovery Partition not found.
To correct the issue I went to re-flash my unlock code that I had saved when I origionally unlocked the bootloader but received an oem unlock turn off error when doing so.
I now have a phone that is on a stock developer rom, has no recovery, has a bad CID, and will not boot as it has a Software status: Modified flag. I can access the download, RUU, and bootloader menus.
I tried an RUU.zip with the following file and had no success: RUU_HIMA_UL_L51_SENSE70_ATT_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_2.11.617.15_Radio_01.01_U11440601_76.03.50611G_F_release_445910_signed_2_Rom
Down to the 500$ question, is there a way to reset the modified flag to boot into the os so I can check OEM unlock, is there a way to OEM unlock from the download, bootloader menues, or is there a way to force an RUU to run no matter the CID? The only other option I can think of is there a way to reflash/unflast the unlock_code.bin?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Is an XTC2Clip or Java Card my only solution?

You should try getting a new unlock token, I'm not sure it'd work but what else is there to lose? I also am not sure it'd be different than the original.
Just saw that you were unable to even try unlocking it, sorry sir

I would but I am unable to do so thanks to the OEM unlock option that is in the developer menu that I cant boot to to check.

Maybe you could just send it back like that? I myself can't think of anything to get you out of the situation you're in. I'm sorry :/

I'm guessing they will charge me full price (500$) for the advanced replacement due to the software issue now present. :/
To be honest if this was not fixable I'd rather see if I can return the advanced replacement itself and see if they will only charge me for shipping. Ill then just work on my cracked nexus till the new ones come out.
Im currently trying to get an RUU.zip file for 3.35.617.16 but cant seem to save the rom.zip file from the .exe with out it being corrupt. I've reading that you can modify the android-info.txt file and put in your own CID and MID numbers. In not 100% sure this will work even if I can successfully modify the android-info.txt.
I was able to repair one of the rom.zip files but the android-info.txt is completely blank.
Can anyone provide me with a template of a good android-info.txt file so I can recreate mine or even modify a 3.35.617.16 .zip file for me to see if its flash able with locked bootloader and S-on?

I don't think it'll work because it's modified, but I could be wrong. What were you exchanging it for , if you don't mind me asking?

I need to put in the CID of DWS_0001 and MID of OPJA11000 as it keeps failing the device check.
I figured it would need signing but Im trying for anything right now.

Also it's 0PJA, the digit not letter. I wish you luck and I wish I could help

What you're trying to do is impossible with S-ON. RUUs are encrypted and therefore can only get unzipped by special methods*. That's why so many programs state they were corrupt although they're not. Therefore chances are high that the zip files you extracted are totally fine.
If you unzip them and re-zip them you break the encryption and the signature and a S-ON phone will never accept such a modified RUU which lacks the correct signature.
Try to find someone with a java card or an xtc clip. That way you might be able to re-S-OFF the phone and from there on you can correct the CID using fastboot.
* Latest 7-zip is capable of unzipping them with right click > 7-zip > open (the second one from above not the first) > #.

Thanks grim for the example!
My phone will not see the zip unless it is OPJA. If it has a zero it boots to normal downloader stating no file found.

Yeah sadly that's what I figured with the zip. I only continued to try because I was only getting Android-info errors and not zip errors.
I did message one of the members that is listed on the Verizon form but I have not received a response yet. It was just yesterday so I just need to wait. But do you have any members you would recommend?

In that case you didn't only mess up the CID. Normally it has to be 0PJAIMG not OPJAIMG.

@efrant owns a java card if I'm not mistaken. However he's not living in the US so I'm not sure whether he's able to help you.

Unfortunately one cannot remote S-OFF with a clip or java card, as it needs to be plugged into the phone. You either need to find someone locally or send to someone with a card.

I didn't change anything else besides the MID and CID. The only other thing that was done was attempting to flash the unlock code. I was running debloated stock developer prior to all of this. After changing the above I attempted to flash the RUU and that's it. Not sure how that would of been changed.

Yeah I would rather not ship my phone overseas to get fixed. The problem is no one was listed in Colorado on the thread so I still will probably have to ship it to someone in the states.
Would it be worth me trying to just buy one for myself? My biggest hesitation for doing this is there appears to be a lot of fakes on the web.

Not sure what "worth it" would be for you, but I can tell you the $179 clip from CellCorner here is genuine: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B012T05MPG?ref=olp_product_details. They are an official distributor.

Worth it is no response from anyone and my last resort. 175 is a lot better then 500$. Thanks for pointing me to a good one!!!!!

If you misspelled the MID while you changed it you might have found the culprit.

Ahhhhhhh!!!! That makes since. Didn't realise that's where it pulled it from.
Well, looks like my MID is wrong too. [emoji21]

Well the phone is off to Ohap. He/she stated they could fix the CID and MID. Will update when I get it back.

SHE LIVES!!!!!! Ohap was able to unlock and s-off to get the phone booting again. I have correctly modified the CID and MID back to AT&T standards and successfully run the RUU. Now just cant figure out why the software status modified flag is still present. Starting a new thread for that. Thanks everyone for the help!!!!

If you're on Lollipop, you can use sunshine to unlock and flash away. If on MM, you have to downgrade to LP, and then use sunshine to unlock (this is a cost of 25 USD). There is a thread for the downgrade here in the Verizon forum. As for a rom, I highly recommend LeeDroid, as he makes roms for all M9s, and he is based out of the UK. For that, just go to the HTC One M9 main forum, not the Verizon forum. I'm currently running it and it is fantastic.
Edit: Sorry, totally somehow thought you were locked. Anyway, just make sure you have the latest TWRP and flash any rom you want, but you'll find more activity here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9
Roms based on stock (I recommend for stability, signal, and camera) are under "One (M9) Android Development."

Hi,
Thank you for your help .. i'm quite a beginner with this kinda thing.. firstly, the phone already came with TWRP 3.0.0-1 installed, do i need to upgrade that? and which firmware would i use please? i did find a list but forgot to bookmark it.

Here's the link for the rom which has instructions for for installation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/rom-leedroid-one-m9-v7-0-0-rc1-march-t3068468
I can't remember off the top of my head if your recovery is new enough (I believe it is), but here is the thread for TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3066720
If you don't feel comfortable rebooting your phone into different modes and doing some command prompt codes, I'm not sure I'd recommend doing any of this though. Make sure you do your research and read, read, read. Maybe even search YouTube for examples of people flashing TWRP and such.

thank you sending the phone back, will buy a uk version
