So, first thing I did when I got my HOX was unlock, flash updated boot.img, recovery and ROM.
Now, I'm wondering if I should have done the OTA to get the latest HBOOT (I have 0.43, the 1.29 update has 0.94) and Radio (I have 1.1204.103.14, the 1.29 release has 1.26.401.2).
Question is, can I get and flash these files standalone or do I need to return to stock (stock recovery, relock, RUU, etc...)
Or, should I even worry about updating HBOOT and Radio at this point?
Thanks!

Apparently there is no improvement for many people whith the updated hboot and radio. So it probably wouldn't be worth the hastle, I haven't done it, after all..
If it ain't broke don't fix it

you installed an OTA?
I'm using a Stock from a recovery Nandroid, not mine but the same CID 044... I guess I shold go back to RUU...but I've tried without any success
I can't even use my RUU file...donno why... I have this file: (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.29.707.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260743_signed) and It works, not now but It used it once...do you have a suggestion so I can use it again??

I'm not...I'm on 2.17 yet...JB update does not install...that's the main problem
and I have noticed that NO MATTER I CHANGE...IT WONT CHANGE THIS VERSION... OMG
tks man!
You need to relock your bootloader (if you haven't already) and run THIS RUU.
The problem is that the version of software you're running (2.17) is newer than the RUU you're trying to install (1.29). you can't revert to an older RUU. you can only flash the same version or newer.
Once you've flashed the RUU, you'll be able to download and install the JB OTA.

Thank you very much man, You renew my faith!!
It will work like a FORMAT SYSTEM with the same Rom?
I'll keep in touch!!
Also, this may sound silly but did you reflash stock RECOVERY?

You don't need stock recovery to flash an RUU. You just need a locked or relocked bootloader, and a less or equal main-version.
Once you run an RUU, you will have stock everything(including recovery) and will be able to install whatever OTAs are available.
Well I am currently running Team Venom's Viper but I have HBOOT 1.31. My device's CID is HTC_J15.
I have checked the list of RUUs but unfortunately all of them are older than the version I need, which has to be 3+.
Does anybody know if there's an RUU available for my device? It is an ubranded WWE version, 401 if I remember correctly.

In my experience the 2.17.707.xx RUU Asia WWE does not work properly. It does its thing installing everything, relocks the bootloader but somehow it does not reflash the recovery. After 4 hours trying everything under the sun, I gave up and looked for a nandroid of 2.17 for CID_044 and restored from that, reflashed stock recovery and went to town with the OTA.
That's very strange, no such problem when I did the same thing. You'd think it would throw an error or something if a component of the image failed to flash.
Glad you managed to figure it out!
Did you run it when your bootloader was unlocked? Maybe that's the problem? I ran it with the bootloader relocked and didn't ahve any problems. I was under the impression you couldn't run an RUU with an unlocked bootloader, but haven't tried it myself.
Refer custom to stock thread posted earlier. Go through step by step procedure. It will help u to be on stock Rom. After that flash any Rom suitable to your CID only

What I did... NOTHING else...
Only Reboot the phone...wait to initialize completely, then reboot again, when came a little update about 1.25mb...installed and reboot...after that...JB update installed correctly.
If someone else needs...Someone like me who relocked the phone waiting for JB and Has problems
1. Unlock Phone
2. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (from nandroid 2.17)
3. fastboot flash boot boot.img (from nandroid 2.17)
4. fastboot erase cache
5. restart bootloader (I like to do this way)
6. Install RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.17.707.3_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed on windows
7. Wait to boot completely, then restart phone.
8. Update Software ...a little update came before JB. (about 1.25mb)
9 Reboot phone.
10. Update Software... finally to JB.
Thanks guys!

The RUU ran with no problem, and it relocked my bootloader, but it still did not receive any OTAs. So I had no choice but to do a nandroid restore instead (recommended anyway )
I have an unlocked HTC One X, running Stock Rom and CMW recovery. CID 621. (never installed any custom roms, only CMW recovery and unlocking the phone)
I haven't updated my phone in a while since OTA failed due to the recovery. Last night I reverted back to the stock recovery and updated, successfully, OTA version 2.18.751.7.
After updating my One X informs me there's a JB OTA update, 3.14.751.20 but when I try to run it, it reboots, shows the green progress bar for about 30 seconds then shows the red rectangular of failure (rebooting starts up the device normally).
I tried reflashing the stock recovery, tried the recovery from the latest RUU for my CID (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_Chunghwa_2.17.751.2_Radio_2.1204.136.21_release_275588_signed) but the OTA update keeps failing.
I also tried disabling SuperSU and used Voodoo Root Keeper to disable root, still the same red rectangular. Tried using the nandroid backup and running through the updates again, but same issue (2.18.751.7 installs correctly, but 3.14.751.20 fails).
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,

Have you tried relocking your bootloader? 'fastboot oem lock'
Also, maybe try flashing the stock kernel as well?
Did you remove anything?
You might try running an RUU if you can one one new enough, or restoring a backup (there are threads here for both backups and RUU, but look on htcruu.com, the device is endeavoru)

I'm hesitant about flashing a kernel, as I did not change the original stock one, and it feels too risky.

I thought about that, but the most recent RUU for my CID is older than what getvar is telling me (INFOversion-main: 2.18.751.7. latest RUU I found is: RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_Chunghwa_2.17.751.2_Radio_2.1204.136.21_release_275588_signed).
As to relock, I went through quite a few similar threads and in all relocking did not make any difference. Also, if that was the case, I don't think the first OTA update would have gone through.

I think the update to hboot requires it to be locked, your previous update was most likely ok with the hboot it was on.

Sorry to be a noob but what do you mean? I thought I couldn't use a backup older than the one listed under "main version". Or am I confusing things?
Edit:
Can I install the most recent RUU?
INFOversion-main: 2.18.751.7.
latest RUU is: RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_Chunghwa_2.17.751.2_Radio_ 2.1204.136.21_release_275588_signed.
Update: locking the phone did not help
I locked the phone, but the update still fails at the same location. The green bar expands for about 20 seconds, covering about a quarter of the bar, and the the red triangle appears.

the tool looks easy enough, but they ask to include the custom JB rom of my choice. I want the Stock update, so what do I do?
The manual update list points to a broken link. I did find it somewhere else. How do I manually update? are these the commands?
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
do I need to unlock my phone again? can I use the same Unlock_code.bin I got from HTC last time (saved it) or do I have to go through the process again?
I'm asking all these questions because I don't want to end up with a bricked phone.

Yes I am running to issues... turns out that manually flashing the firmware.zip just got my phone into a bootloop since it turns out you must install a custom rom after it. I did not want to install a custom rom just to get the OTA update to install. now my phone keeps rebooting and I'm waiting for ADHD to download (takes FOREVER! for some reason).
This really sucks. I wanted to stay with stock, and it looks like I can't even go back anymore, can't even restore with a RUU.

You can restore an older backup, it's just like installing a custom ROM.
You might also be able to install a 2.17 RUU on 2.18, I'm not sure the hboot was updated. It's also possible to dissect an RUU and install the bits manually.
You have a few options.
i am having the same issue, I have the stock rom (never flashed) on a rooted phone. So i relocked the bootloader and flashed stock recovery, but im getting the red triangle when installing the update.

I hope you did this the other way around......first flash the recovery and the relock the bootloader.....
But if you are on stock rom, kernel and recovery you do not have to relock the bootloader, it updates fine with a unlocked one.
Well I tried custom firmware after successfully unlocking my HTC One X. It says Unlocked but S-ON so not sure whats going on there? But since S-On I cannot change the CID as get the error (status read failed (too many links)) MY CID is H3G_001 and since I rooted my phone refuses to let me upgrade to OTA Jellybean which is frustrating forcing custom firmware.
Without updating CID I got stuck in a bootloop at least I guess it was as it was just stuck on the quitely brilliant screen for 20 minutes before I shut it off and tried another firmware which did the same. I am now in the process of a Nandroid recovery so I can at least use the phone. Three have a ton of bloatware which sucks. But I gotta stick with it as cannot figure out why it wont let me flash.. All help is appreciated. This phone is alot harder to flash than my HTC Desire which was a breeze.

you cannot s-off the one x, all you have done is unlock the bootloader which will allow you to flash clockwork recovery and flash su etc.
Unlocked s-on is normal.
Unlocking has nothing to do with s-off
At present there is no way to change your cid.
2x errors have occurred here
Ota updates fail after rooting if you leave the custom recovery on there.
You needed to unlock. Flash or boot custom recovery.
Flash supersu binaries
Flash stock recovery
Then boot ROM.
That way it would have been rooted and still allow ota updates.
You have made things worse by flashing the firmware.zip
By flashing the firmware you have updated your hboot. Probably to 1.36
Which will no longer work for the ICS ROM that is on your phone.
You need to find a nandroid backup for jellybean for your cid.
Just switching to PC to find you some links
ok looked more into it
you should still be able to boot after restoring your nandroid.
dont forget to pull the boot.img from your backup and reflash it as flashing the firmware will have put the JB boot.img on
you will want to restore the stock recovery which you can find in the firmware.zip once you have restored your backup
reboot into your rom and do the OTA that way

I restored from my nandroid and its working fine, all back to 4.0.4 with the phone unlocked I used CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip when i rooted my phone (or at least im sure I did as I did root over 6 months ago now).
So how would I go about updating to a custom firmware then?? Instead of the OTA as would prefer to get rid of the bloatware as half the apps aren't even English..
If you want a custom ROM
Try looking at something like latest android revolution HD
Very similar to stock but no bloat.

Okay thanks for that but how do I get it to work with my CID is what I would like to know do I have to first get OTA jellybean working then a custom firmware to update the CID? It seems a little confusing.. I listed my CID in first post but like I also said all custom firmwares I tried Viper X 3.3.4 and skydragon both left me with a phone stuck on boot screen for 20 minutes until i gave up and just turned off.
Your cid is irrelevant for anything except going to stock.
Custom ROMs arnt dependent on cid.
But they are dependent on hboot versions.
Cm10 ROMs will not work on any hboot>1.12
Any sense jellybean ROMs or ROMs with 3.1 kernels need a hboot version of at least 1.23
Couldn't saw viperx ROM but dragon is based on 3.17 so your hboot has to be minimum of 1.23
After installing the custom ROM you did flash the boot.IMG in fastboot didn't you?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
where i get the boot.img? I think i may have missed that part *duh* OKAY nm found that hboot is 1.12 need to update... Updating the Hboot means I have to go back to stock right? Then update OTA to get Hboot update then I can get JB..

You need a stock boot.img, stock recovery and a stock ICS Rom. Then you will get OTA to JB, upgrading that way your hboot. Then you can flash any custom JB Rom.
P.s. The correct boot.img is in the rom's zip folder. Every time you change the rom you should flash the proper boot.img.

Yeah problem is I need RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_H3G_UK_2.17.771.3 to go back to stock and it doesn't exist.. Anyway around the RUU exe ?
EDIT NM found I can use the nandroid method.. Giving it a shot now.
Go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
And download your matching nandroid ! Restore it including flashing the boot.img from the nandroid. After that you flash this recovery back
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
And you are on stock again. And also able to update to JB
That did NOT work I got back to stock but without the RUU exe file it seems it will not install I loveked my phone aswell and when i try to install the OTA update i just get kicked to bootloader.
Edit didnt see above post sorry
So did it work.....I know my method works !
Sorry yeah it worked Was up till stupidly late trying to do it as I was following another method as I never saw yours (a really old one) Where I locked my phone so had to unlock etc.. Plus download that update OTA each time took 1 hour. I'm now on stock with Hboot 1.39 thankyou so much really appreciate! So now I just reflash recovery yeah? And backup nandroid then go for my custom rom?
Yes exactly !
I now have Android Revolution working perfectly and since I paid for Nova Prime I decided to go for lite after all and removed Sense thank so much for that method so much easier than the guides on here which make it sound so difficult I really was pulling my hair out!
Nice ! Glad it worked :thumbup:

Hi
Having some issues with HOX
My mainver is: 3.78.61.6 HIGER THAN ANY EXISTING MAINVER POSSIBLE
I can ONLY install stock software via CustomRUU as i need to match mainver to = 3.78.61.6 WHICH IS HIGHER THAN JB!!!
ONCE INSTALLED I CAN NOT OTA UPGRADE because MainVer is HIGHER than JB update.
So it just crashes after installed (At Lock Ring). Because stock is installed i MUST do OTA update as phone insists i update.
JB RUU DOES NOT EXIST for my CID BUT OTA JB UPDATE DOES
Cid: TELNZ001
hboot 1.12.000 (BUT UPDATE IS INCLUDED IN OTA)
I have the ota zip file, which has FOLDERS not IMG so is not flashable.
HOWEVER DOES contain Firmware.zip with HBOOT 1.39 FOR TELNZ001 in it but is not flashable.
I have two questions:
Can anyone help me to downgrade / fool mainver, so i can revert back to stock and OTA to JB
OR
IS there a way to flash the hboot.img from OTA update.

Lol no matter what i post i get completly different answers than im actually looking for.
I know there is a way to charge mainver on some htc phones.
no one seems no one has a telnz001 JB backup.
and im having trouble flashing the hboot img
if i can flash the boot img i can run a jb rom...
What's the problem with flashing then ?
problem with flashing hboot?
There is NOTHING telling me how to flash the hboot.img file itself except for ruu / firmware.zip WHICH come back with errors, through fastboot i get error 99 unknown.
i cant flash it via the firmware.zip as mainver in the OTA JB ZIP is too low. either that or i need to find a way to sign the zip which is impossible.
and if i rebuild it ( make the mainver higher in the text file higher to match my mainver which is 2.76.xx.xx ) it refuses to flash.
the problem is .... i cant flash the hboot as it appears the only way is via ruu / ruu mode with firmware.zip
which is because my mainver is 3.76.xx.xx
next problem is even IF i could flash firmware.zip or ruu to an OLDER version is it updates the stock software to 2.17 but mainver still remains 3.76.xx.xx so its impossible to do the jb update which is 3.17.xx.xx
does a zip exist to make my mainver 1.00.00.00 as i would just be able to flash ruu and OTA and it will work
ive tried the mainver fixes and nothing has worked so far.
An older firmware.zip is never gonna work, you need S-OFF for that. The best is to get a nandroid backup ..... it doesn't matter if that is older or not. When you get hands on a nandroid you can restore it and update with official ota. Even if its an old one. The hboot will stay the same during updstes. The only thing that get updated is the software.
as far as I read about this, you can never downgrade with S-ON
if you want to keep using Sense , You need to look for a backup for your CID.
and I think you're probably figured that out by now
I think rephrasing the question might help you get someone to aid
and maybe you can upload the Firmware.zip for advanced developers to look at, you might get lucky and someone find an answer to you problem
anyway, you can read This , it's about Unlocking CID TELNZ001, might help?

I ony have one little problem with restoring from nandroid...
that is:
it does a couple of updates before the jb update is available
so it hits the 2.17 update maybe the update just after that and gets stuck on the lock screen and constantly reboots.
Very fustrating phone now in boot loop after OTA update.
does this EVERY time
relocked
stock boot and stock recovery.
