Dear all,
my HTC One X was unlocked with htcdev and the mobile device was rooted. Now I have big problems to pair my HTC with my VW bluetooth device. I would like to install the new OTA which was published some days ago by T-Mobile.
Currently I am using Android 4.03 with HTC Sense 4.0 Software 1.26.111.4
The new OTA is 1.28.111.x. ow can I proceed to get this OTA installed without danger to brick my phone ?! I am novice for Android.
Thanks in advance.

hello mate. what i did was before i rooted my phone was made a backup of my stock rom. that was on 1.26. then i flashed a rom and all was good. my carrier released the OTA so what i did i reverted back to my backup and then did not need to lock bootloader or anything and just flashed the OTA and my phone got updated. then just installed the latest cwm recovery and back on a custom rom
since you do not have a custom rom on i am pretty sure you can update since you have not flashed any roms. if you have the option to update OTA then go for it mate.
but make sure if you have custom recovery to flash back to the stock one. you can get stock recovery.img from this thread here in the first post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
Hey guys quick question I am thinking of getting an unlocked what looks like international version of the one X on ebay, (because of the 32gb and quad core CPU) but I was wondering how does this phone play with tmobile's network. will it access hspa 41 network? or just the hspa 21? any help will be greatly appreciated.

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.

You can receive the update as long as you are on the stock rom and have stock recovery. The phone will still say Re-Locked after you get the OTA update.

Yes you can receive the OTA
The previous owner must have relocked it , so I assume it's already locked (?)
I had trouble on relocked and stock. Had to flash the ruu before :/
But you will see if it doesn't work, you can always ruu

Hi. I have an HTC One M7 unlocked. I am currently using an AT&T sim in it. The problem is I can't seem to upgrade my phone to the new sense 6.0 since it requires the phone to be on CDMA network to update the software which is kind of lame since it's unlocked now. Is there a workaround for this or do I have to install a new rom? Thanks. Any help would be appreciated. :fingers-crossed:

Hey guys,
I've been searching but couldn't find anything that really helps with my problem. I bought an HTC One M8 last year, it was supposed to be unlocked from factory but when it arrived it turned out it was an unlocked AT&T model. Anyways so I tried to root the phone but it was already rooted and running a TWRP (I don't know how this happened as the phone was sealed when I got it) I have no problem with this but as the phone is rooted and doesn't have the stock recovery I can't get any OTA and I'm still in 4.4.2. I was wondering if any of you guys could help me update my device to stock 5.0.1 without flashing a custom ROM.
Thanks

First off, there is no stock 5.0.1 for the AT&T version yet. There isn't even a 4.4.4 released yes (although it might be anytime soon).
Further, you aren't going to receive any OTAs since you aren't connected to the AT&T network. Some folks not specifically familiar with AT&T will disagree, saying the OTAs will come over WiFi even if not connected to the specific carrier. But AT&T is pretty unique in this regard (well, maybe other carriers in the US do it too, but not WWE versions).
You can download an official RUU to upgrade to 4.4.3. Then wait for RUUs to be posted for 4.4.4 and/or 5.0.1. That is all you can do at this time without s-off. With s-off, you can convert to any version you want, and get official OTAs that way (such as convert to WWE version), or run the US Developer's Edition 5.0 RUU.

Excuse me but what is WWE exactly? Ok so my two options are use sunshine to make my htc s-off and convert to another version or flash a custom rom with 5.0.1?
Thanks for your help.

World Wide English. Which doesn't really say much. Its the "international" version sold in Europe and other places.

Nope, your second option won't work. You need firmware on your phone that is compatible with 5.0.1, otherwise WiFi will be broken, and.or extreme long boot times (>10 minutes). And the only way to update your firmware is with s-off (until AT&T releases more updates).
So really, if you want to update now, your only option is s-off.
Ok dude, thanks for your help. I guess I'll have to s-off

If you want to update now, that is what I suggest. I don't see LP coming to AT&T for another month at least, and it might be even longer than that (months). We're still waiting for 4.4.4.
Be sure to check bootloader and confirm if its s-on or s-off (says one or the other near the top of the hboot screen). Since it was already rooted and bootloader unlocked, who knows, you might have lucked out and gotten a phone that is already s-off as well.
Yeah and like you said if I'm not connected to the AT&T network I might never get the update so it is the only option. BTW I checked and it's S-On =(
Thanks for your help.
I am using an unlocked Verizon HTC One M7 here in the philippines.
I am on android 4.4.3 Stock and whenever I try to update my Unlocked Verizon HTC One M7 through OTA on my phone, it prompts me that I should be in CDMA. How do I turn on and off CDMA mode and can I download the update through wifi?
I am in full stock rom, not rooted, locked bootloader.
Should I update to Lollipop or stay with kitkat?
Please Help!
Thank you so much and God Bless
