Just unlocked my bootloader and flashed clockwork recovery - pretty easy.
I have a Vodafone UK provided device that has vodafone's CID.
My Firmware version is 1.26 currently.
If i wanted to put Android Revolution 3.0.0 on the device it is suggested i need to upgrade the firmware?
When i look at the firmware page it says its only supported by certain CID numbers and when i check mine it says none
Can i still put it on or do i risk bricking?
Since you're CID is not listed, my guess is that it will either not install, give bootloop or brick.
Keep reading and let people develop some more.

My HTC One X is on Vodafone too. I unlocked it etc from the guides on XDA and HTCDEV.
I've been using the ARHD ROMS for a few days now, they're better than what Vodafone provided. Today I flashed the ARHD 3 ROM. First I did the 3 boot image via fastboot then flashed the ROM via recovery, I always wipe cache and dalvik cache between ARHD ROMs and so far it's working fine. No brick here...
If you've got this far I reckon you can fastboot flash the boot image and upgrade to ARHD 3 no problem at all - go for it I say...
linkisoc - with your phone on the arhd rom and unlocked from HTCdev, are you able to change the CID?
I'll confess I never even considered the CID. It's not something I'd come across before with several android phones all rooted / flashed etc. I've been doing this since the Google Nexus one, Nexus S, Samsung Galaxy Nexus and now the One X... checking the CID never occured to me...I'll google it now though and see if I've just been very lucky !
i've never changed it either - always managed to get unbranded sets this far but was far too keen for this phone and got it from vodafone on release day, complete with all their crap and slow OTA releases. I asked in another post about the difference between htcdev unlock and an eventual S-OFF and apparently they're different.

Hey guys, I'm having serious trouble debranding my desire and spent the last days 'n nights searching for a solution.
Three days ago I was given an HTC Desire A8181 by my sister's boyfriend from Canada. I want to use it in Germany and somehow 3G doesen't work at all(only Edge).
So I thought about flashing a European /WWE ROM to solve the problem.
As he told me the phone was unbranded I just picked the last EU RUU from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
But while flashing I got Error 130 - Wrong RUU.
Flashing itself doesn't seem to be the problem: My sister's boyfriend found his old ROM he was using before on this phone and I was able to flash it without problems.
It is 3.14.405.1 / Android 2.3. - apparently Telus branded.
I checked with Terminal Emulator and found out that the phone is indeed Telus branded. So I created a goldcard and tried again.
Now I get Error 140 while flashing ( wrong Bootloader version )
Could it be, that the ROM I want to install is too old?
I'd appreciate any suggestion.
Information:
Bravo PVT3 Ship S-ON
HBOOT-1.02.0001
MICCROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
Radio-5.17.05.23
The Phone is unrooted.
Both drivers and HTC Sync are installed on my PC.
Btw. Any ideas why 3G doesn't work?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there!
If this is the case you could just flash a stock ROM instead?
Also, this may help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943726 to unlock the phone fully (though it seems like that's the case already it may help) it's quite safe. I've done it on about 4 Desire's without problems over the last two years.
There is Teppic74's rooted stock 2.3 ROM which is very good and exactly like the RUU version, with the exception of being rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200261
To root the phone, last I checked it was pretty simple. You simply downlopad unREVoked, run it, connect your phone when you're told and let it do it's stuff: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044
Also, a problem you MAY have is that the phone is CDMA and Europe is mostly GSM networks (I think)
@ Kryten2k35
Thanks for your reply.
Firstly, I already SIM-unlocked it with the linked tool - that was the first thing I did after holding it in my hands.
Actually I could install a custom ROM, yes and I must admit that I already did so before. I tried out Supernova and tried to flash a new Radio ( I used unrevoked to do so) . I was quite sure that I screwed st. up so I wanted to get a nice proper European RUU running on my phone. That's when I always had Error 130 ("wrong RUU") while flashing all kinds of official ROMs. At this point I was given the (obviously Telusbranded) Telus ROM that perfectly worked as the only exeption.
I had the same idea with that CDMA / GSM uncompatability but found out, that my modell Number is A8181 which is sold in Europe/ Asia. So it should work...
Thanks anyways!
Other ideas?
Well, that Teppic74 ROM is completely stock (except it's rooted) so it's exactly like the Gingerbread ROM. He tailors all his stock ROM's to be totally like stock!
Have you tried the offical HTC Desire Gingerbread RUU? Beware it will stop you from ever putting a custom ROM on again (iirc)

Well, mate, the biggest problem with compatibility is a band version of device not rom. If you got it from Telus you have to check which frequencies it supports and see which one are used in Germany (I think you said Germany).
About RUU, you can't flash EU RUU on your device without a gold card because of CID version of your phone.
And if you want stock RUU that will work on your phone go to HTC dev site, kernel source code part, configure filter to DEVICE (Desire) and choose OTHER below it, click FIND FILES and the first one to download will be RUU upgrade android version 2.3. It's made for all CIDs and it will work with your hboot version.

Why should it do so?
Besides I'm quite sure, that the ROM I'm currently using IS the latest official ROM - it can't be a branded one.
FIrst: Android Task Manager tells me under information - Brand: HTC_WWE
Sounds like HTC's official version.
Second: Current System Software is entitled: 3.14.405.1. ,which is HTC's latest Gingerbread (2.3.3)-update. So actually it cannot be branded.
Third: THe old owner swears that the ROM he gave me was NOT branded.
I just found out that flashing with a comon SDcard would lead to Error 130 while flashing with Goldcard leads to Error 140.
At this point I probably could S-Off and root the phone and put a custom ROM on it but I'd really, really, really like to know why I'm unable to flash those stupid RUUs.
And if you want stock RUU that will work on your phone go to HTC dev site, kernel source code part, configure filter to DEVICE (Desire) and choose OTHER below it, click FIND FILES and the first one to download will be RUU upgrade android version 2.3.

I just checked that THIS RUU is exactly the one I have installed right now!
Thanks for this hint!
So could you tell me why only this RUU works and the other ones don't?
Thanks a lot!
I suppose it's because of the updated bootloader, which is 1.02 and won't be downgraded to 0.93, which would be the froyo version.
Btw, this will not stop you from doing s-off (which I'd recommend you to do). Only using HTC Dev unlock will stop you, so avoid using it.
Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire
Yes bootloader is the problem, so you can't flash older RUU. If you go s-off (only revolutionary can do so for you) you can flesh alpharev stock hboot which is write protected and you can try older RUU (but I don't see a reason).
So, go s-off and root now and flash a custom rom of your choice.

Thanks guys, you really helped me out!
So far I flashed CM 7.2 and it's running fine - will try to get a proper radio on it hoping the 3G issues will disappear.
Thanks!
Hey Guys,
I'm reaching the point of frustration now. To try and cut a long story short, I had the Android Revolution 6 ROM on my rooted/unlocked HTC One X, and decided to update it to Android Revolution 13. I followed all the instructions, went to boot it, and it just sat on the HTC logo for an hour at which point I knew something went wrong. I repeated the steps, including wiping data using super wipe, without success either. I then decided to just select the "Factory reset" option on the boot menu, but this has also failed to boot after 30 minutes. I can also no longer boot into recovery. I've tried reloading CWM and other recovery ROM's onto the phone, but the phone resets as soon as they load.
At this point, I just want to get some form of OS on my phone. My phone is Unlocked, S-ON and has a CID of OPTUS001. I don't know if Factory reset will work if the phone is unlocked. It's all very time consuming as you normally don't know if the boot process has locked until you've waited ~20 minutes. I can't find my original ROM from when I bought the phone either, so I assume I need to obtain another one from somewhere, but I don't have any idea about CID compatibility, etc, and I'm finding this all very confusing and frustrating. All help is much appreciated. I have a feeling I need to replace my boot.img with a stock boot.img, but once again, where do I get that?
Thanks
the phone doesn't boot because you don't have the latest firmware installed, you need HBOOT 1.31 but you can't install it cause your CID is not compatible with it, you sjould go back to ICS and wait...
Did you load new firmware 1.31? This firmware is not compatible with Your CID... Did You read carefully this thread — http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003
Sent from HOX with ARHD 13
You forgot that you need to update the firmware to 1.31.
You can also just install ARHD 9.7.2. Ensure you have the latest CWM 5.8.4.0
faatboot flash recovery recovery.img
and then flash the boot image:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
And then copy the ROM on using recovery mount USB and flash it.
Thanks for all the help guys. I managed to get a stock recovery.img back onto the phone, and by re-locking the phone I was able to use the latest Optus RUU from htcruu.com.
So at least I've now got a working phone again.
Moving onto why ARHD didn't work, I had no idea about the firmware 1.31 compatibility requirement. I thought all HTC One X's were created equal. I didn't know about this CID nonsense. Can someone explain how I find out when my phone's CID becomes compatible, or perhaps a way to change my CID or some other means of getting Jelly Bean onto my phone. Apologies for being a noob.

without S-OFF no chance to change CID. Regarding CID compatible - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003

Yeah, but I'm going to put on ARHD 9.7 I think.
Optus not compatible with JB yet
Hi all,
Just spent the last six hours trying to get my One X onto JB- well I got it on finally but now have lost WIFI/BT/Data and signal.
I started with bootloader 00.93.0000 I think, then attempted to install JB. This didn't work... So I tried to upgrade the bootloader to 1.31.
I then installed RUU 2.17.401.2 Radio 2.1204.135.20 trying to revert the damage of installing JB with wrong bootloader and upgrade the bootloader thinking .91 was the reason I couldnt update using fastboot commands, it would always hang as it was pushing the file.
I think the above RUU gave me the wrong radio. (was asking for date/time on bootup)
I then used the JBFWTOOL which have me the 1.31 bootloader and then I reflashed Revolution HD 14.
I then installed revolution 9.7.2 thinking it was to do with JB but this hasn't worked either.
It worked the second time around but I have no signal/bt/wifi.
Device ID is HTC_001 s-on
Believe it was O2 but was unlocked I use a 3 sim card in it.
I can still get to the bootloader menu etc
I don't know what else to do. The RUUs wont work due to bootloader and I haven't found any info on just changing wireless packacges like you can with odin.
Please help!
you never mentioned flashing the boot.img
1- update bootloader(seems you already did) and unlock and install cust.recovery
2- flash the boot.img file included in ARHD's rom.zip from the bootloader, fastboot flash boot C:/location_of_boot.img_on_pc
3- install the arhd rom.zip from cust.recovery
Note: sadly since you have installed a new hboot (anything greater than 1.23) there is no way to use an old RUU (ICS), new RUU's wont be released anytime soon (unless leaked)
hence, i recommend properly installing your JB and stick with it, after all its much better than ICS , unless you experience one of the hardware bugs.
Once the newer (1.33) bootloader is released(should be this week), it should fix all currently known bugs, and then you are safe to flash use latest ARHD or Maximus Roms for daily use.
Device: HTC One X AT&T USA, Android 4.0.4
HBoot 1.14 (unlocked), S-ON, cid: 11111111 (was CWS__001), rooted (CWM-SuperSU-v0.96)
Hi,
I have sim-unlocked AT&T HTC One X that I bought in USA last year and used it in 'as is' condition. A week ago it got to cyclical reboot. I made factory reset, but of course I lost all my data. In this case I decided to upgrade HBoot and setup lastest CyanogenMod (yeap, I thought I have nothing to lose ).
I re-writed cid to supercid, unlocked flashboot, rooted the phone... but made a mistake and flashed CyanogenMod boot.img before upgraded Hboot *facepalm*.
And now it's unable to load android (it just shows HTC logo with red warning text).
Of course, I tried to restore original Boot from backup, but this didn't help.
I'm able to open Bootloader and custom recovery menu (recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-evita.img), but unable to install any ROM (tried to use ROMs that are based on ICS, because my Hboot 1.14) - it always returns me error 7, even if all requirements are met. Tried to remove asserts from updater-script , but in this case it just shows 'Opening update package... Installing update... Installation aborted.'
I tried almost all that I found in web, used different backups and ROMs, but nothing helped.
I also tried to flash stock RUU (european, since I didn't find USA version - btw does it matter?) , but it getting Error 132 - Signature error.
Please could somebody help me to return my phone to a working state? Any advices are truly appreciated!
P.S. Unfortunately on one of the steps I lost my original backup (sdcard was formated).
Thanks.
You CANNOT INSTALL A RUU THAT DOESN'T MATCH YOUR CID !
Also you are in the wrong forum mate, since this is for the international tegra 3 HOX ONLY !, with may be the cause of your trouble
Please visit the AT&T HOX forum and you will find all you need
Yeah go the at+t forum and there you can s-off your evita HTC one XL ! Then you can install any ruu, update and downgrade the bootloader
Hi guys,
So recently I got a phone from a friend, which is a Vodafone AU HTC one X. I'm not a complete novice at all this as as I have had no issues with my htc sensation xe, samsung galaxy s2 and s3 but I'm having quite abit of trouble with the HTC one x. So what I've done so far is
1. I've unlocked the Bootloader
2. Installed a TWRP recovery
3. I'm rooted
A few other details of my phone is the cidnum is: NONE according to fastboot getvar cid, or using CID getter I got VODAP021. The version-main says 1.29.862.11. The recovery I have is TWRP v2.6.0.0
My problem is that my phone is still on 4.0.4 as this phone wasn't actually mine until recently. In order for me to get OTA I need to get stock recovery. After doing countless research I am unable to find a stock recovery for my phone so I'm kind of in a pinch. How do I go about doing this. From what I'm aware the OTA update will take me to Jellybean. Also if there's a way since I've already unlocked, have custom recovery and rooted, can I upgrade to a JellyBean rom like ARHD. From further research it says I need to have the proper HBoot however I don't know which Hboot I should be updating to (my current Hboot is 0.95.0000).
EDIT: Found the RUU, flashing when the download is done, hopefully it will bring it back to stock recovery.
