Question [Q] Revert from Hokin Anzhi chinese ROM to stock?

Hey everyone,

My brother just got a HTC Sensation XL for Christmas, however it was bought abroad in Hong Kong, and unknown to my parents had been flashed to the Hokin XL Anzhi ROM, I am just wondering if there is any way to revert it back to the stock HTC rom that would come on this phone. I have no backups of it obviously as we never had the original ROM. If this isnt possible, what is the best alternative, as this ROM seems useless with no English Browser, no android market etc..


I havent really flashed ROM's before, but it seems the phone has super user, but the boot menu is in chinese. I have been having a look around the development thread and noticed the Cappy ROM being mentioned, but i would probably prefer to get it to stock if possible as it was his present and not sure what he wants to do with it yet.

Thanks in advance

* check if the bootloader is locked or unlocked *

- pull battery out and put it back
- hold POWER and VOLUME DOWN for 3sec



If it says LOCKED: Flash an RUU ~> http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0ac...366_signed.exe


If it says UNLOCKED: lock it back by following these instructions http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38853656/HTC...structions.zip (dont forget to download & install everything first)
THEN flash an RUU

hey thanks for your response the phone was originally UNLOCKED, so i have followed all the steps, and it now shows up as 'RELOCKED' will that be ok to procedd with the RUU? or have i done something wrong? thanks!

EDIT: i also now dont seem to be able to switch the phone on properly? When i power it, the bootloader starts with the

****RELOCKED****
****SECURITY WARNING****

have i done something wrong? kind of worried now

unfortunately i am still getting the Error 131 with this RUU as well.. would it be something to do with it being rooted? or any idea where i can find some more to try?

can i tell which RUU i need by looking at the bootloader screen? thanks!

EDIT: apparently the image version on my phone is 1.05.707.5, not sure if that helps.


EDIT: FOUND THE RUU THAT WORKS!! Thanks for your help, it was the WWE version that seemed to restore it. Thanks for your help
