[Q] Two One X's - not the same? - HTC One X

Hi - I'm in the UK and have bought two One X's from Amazon. The first is fine, the second isn't (it was bought in the Amazon Warehouse and is pre-owned but "as-new").
1 The first phone found the 1.28 update immediately on setup after connecting to wi-fi. The second won't update, even after doing a manual check and is still on 1.26.401.2. From what I've read if the phone is "unbranded"/not originally locked to any provider it should be ready for the update. How do I check this?
2 The LED on the second is tiny - it's the size of the end of a pin whereas the other phone has a much bigger, more visible light.
Thanks in advance for any questions. I have searched for similar problems but came up with nothing (sorry if I missed answers that are already posted on here or elsewhere)

1. Flash the 1.29 RUU - job done!
2. Can't say I've noticed this but you could be right

Thanks, but I'm hoping not to flash this device. Is there any was of checking if the phone is tied to a provider or why it doesn't want to update to 1.28?

If it's running x.xx.401.x then it's an unbranded handset so flashing the RUU won't affect anything with regards to warranty as it's the official ROM file. OK, it means wiping the phone but at least you're up-to-date!

Ok, thanks again. I was really hoping to figure out what the problem is here so I understand how the updating works - if you say I do infact have an unbranded handset, I don't understand why it won't update. Does the update server go down occupationally or does it just mean I have an issue with the handset itself?

Ignored OTA update - now can't get it >.<

I checked this morning if there are system updates available for my Desire. Luckily i found one but decided to download it later.
Now i just tried again to search for this update but it keeps telling me that there are no updates available.
I allready tried rebooting - doesnt help.
I guess, that my decission is stored in cache somewhere - but i don't know where exactly
Anyone knows a solution, how I can find my update again?
I have the same issue. Canceled the OTA as i was on a pulic wifi and busy... no it tells me there is no update, but I have 1.15...
Same issue, Canceled OTA update while it was downloading, and now it says there is no update.
I'm pretty sure that's not the case, I checked several times over the last few days and declined the installation every time. After seeing your thread I tried again and the update doesn't appear anymore.
I wouldn't have installed it in the first place so not too big of a loss but mysterious non the less.
apparently htc took if off for the moment as many people were having issues with it, i did get it last nite on my tmob uk and luckily everything seems alrite so far
Thx for your feedbacks
I just called T-mobile, they said i should try to make a factory reset, but actually I don't want to reset all my settings again
Anyone likes to try that?
No you shouldn't do that. Most definitely the update has been pulled by htc. I don't think a factory reset would help really.

Is this tmobile update the main android update with a few tmobile tweaks?

Thx to both of you.
Seems like we just have to wait
I am wondering if they just did this in UK or everywhere...
Same problem here in the netherlands with an unbranded htc desire.
I got an unbranded UK Desire, and can also confirm that i cant see the update...
if it's been pulled, what does it mean for those of us who grabbed the update?
i mean if they tweak it or something, will there be a seperate minor corrective update for us - or nothing?
i presume there would be something since otherwise we'll have different versions of the OS running
hTc Followup?
Has anyone heard anything more about this update from htc?
I downloaded the update on my Desire when it first pushed, and it works brilliantly for me. But my girlfriend who has a Desire also, have never recieved the OTA push notification, and can not see it when searching for updates.
Must have been withdrawn the same day as it was released...
BTW: I have NetCom Carrier (Norway), and my girlfriend has Telenor (Norway)

Orange Network locked unlock sim after OTA update

Hello,
Need some help.
Unbranded my desire today which went well. It asked me if I wanted to update the software OTA which I clicked yes to. This is where it all went wrong, phone now comes up with Network locked unlock sim.
Can anyone help me get round this, I read a thread a couple of days ago where someone had the same problem but I can't for the life of me find it. Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hi there mate. I dont know the answer to your problem but can say that no one else has ever posted that exact error. Can you confirm the EXACT wording of the error and and numbers it may throw. If its already correct (including any punctuation) it seems you have a very unique problem.

It may not have been here but I think it was.
Basically it was a branded Orange Desire.
After much reading I decided that I wanted to get of all the Orange stuff that comes bundled and cannot be removed.
I followed a guide to de-brand the phone which worked perfectly. When I first turned the phone on and checked the software update it said 1 update was available, I chose to download and install the update. When I checked the phone version it was 2.1update 1 (I think).
Turned the phone off and on again and went back into the software update and was offered another update which I assumed was Froyo, chose to download and install that via wifi. Everything seemed to work but when the phone rebooted it came up with the following message "SIM network unlock PIN" there is no other error code and it wants an 8 digit code.
Called Orange and played dumb and they said that they would send me a new phone but I've told them to hold off for now.
Thank in advance.
Hmmm looks like you may have flashed a Branded ROM for another provider which I didn't thik had any effect on provider locks. But in the lack of help from anywhere else you could always try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748105 which is what I did on my Virgin Mobile UK Branded and locked phone. SOrry I cant help further
You could buy an unlock code online..That should sort it.
It looks like your using an incompatible radio. Which version are you using? To find out go to settings - about phone then it should be baseband version?

Wanted to post back, thanks for the great advice. Hope this thread cones in useful for someone else.
Got a fully up to date Droid, didn't have to pay Orange for the Network unlock code either lol
really pleased mate well done! Its scary **** when you may have to pay out for the bugger lol
good advice in this thread
Got it up and running yet?
If not, take the SIM out and find the software version in settings. If it's something like:
x.xx.405.x
then you have an unbranded ROM which most people have had issues with with Orange phones. You could try updating to Froyo if the OTA update is still available as that should flash a working radio or just buy an unlock code for about a tenner that would be best in the long run.
Just to let you know that the latest radio is compatible with orange (I have it) its 5.09.00.20. Shouldn't sim lock your phone. Good luck. Hope you get it sorted.

This post says that he sorted it.
i am sure its an incorrect radio take your sim out and you should have access , i ended up rooting the device using revoke one click method very easy just follow carfully then i installed a custom rom and a new radio
this is the orange one for bootloader 0.75 "update-bravo-radio-32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11-signed" all working great the rom i used was "Official_FroYo_Market_fixed"
hope this helps actually just upgraded radio to 5.09 with no problem
Yeah got this sorted peeps.
Didn't mess around looking up radio's or anything like that.
This is what happened to me.
1. Debranded Orange Desire from 2.1update1 to Generic 2.1
2. Upgraded OTA from Generic 2.1 to 2.1update1
3. Was offered and accepted update to Froyo
4. Got error saying SIM locked unlock sim
5. Put Froyo ROM onto SD card and loaded it via recovery
6. Enjoyed having the last laugh over Orange technical support
Thank you to jamesmcuk who's post (I think it was 4 or 5) resolved my problem, would suggest the same process to anyone else who had the same problem that I had.
On another note, how do I check what radio version I have and if it's upto date?

As far as I heard back from people already using 1.28, it seems to have some battery draining issues and other problems occurring, so I guess I'll skip this and will wait for ROMs to adapt the best out of this OTA update.
If more positive comments are posted here, however, I might still think about giving it a shot
What's the kernel version for 1.28? And can somebody verify if the nvcplsvc.apk in the correct place? Thanks.

Nothing here yet - I'm on 1.26 on Voda in the UK - are they rolling it out, or should it be available everywhere?
available in Belgium
Available on O2 in the UK
I've click installed and its been stuck on the black screen with the two green arrows and phone for around 10 minutes?
Does anyone whose flashed the update know how long it will take?
Thanks!
Exciting update but i already rooted my device and installed CWM. And now i have no idea what i should do because i want to try the new OTA update (no idea what OTA actually mean lol) but with the CWM i getting some ugly error messages after downloading the update and restarting the phone for applying it.
Should i wait for Revolution ROM build on 1.28 or look for How to get rid off CWM and lock the device again for OTA update?
And also please give me link or a guide what should i do if i want to RELOCK the device again, havent find anything in my briefly look on HTCdev web, there are just info how to unlock it.

Wait for ARHD update, mike already said it would be out today, so not long to wait.
To re-lock - fastboot oem lock
Update
Im on O2 and im still waiting lol
Kernel version
the kernel version is still 2.6, to be exact 2.6.39.4-g86aa4d. I don't think anything changed here... nVidia should work harder on getting 3.0 to work :\
If anyone cares: baseband is 1.1204.103.14.
I don't have any battery draining issues so far, it seems to me the banding actually got a little better, so they may have fixed at least some of the rendering related problems. GPU can still not be enabled, though.
P.S: I'm on an unbranded device. I might get Zen Pinball later, to see if that was fixed...

[Q] 35mb System Update available - new One X

Hi folks,
I've just got my new One X and there's a 35mb system update available. Before I go ahead and install it, I thought I'd check with you to ask if it has any detrimental effect at all? I'm presuming it's OK?
What software version are you on at the mo?
Hi Eddy, it's just the standard 1.28.401.9.
It'll be the 1.29 update - do it!
Just make sure you're unplugged when you do - it won't update when plugged in
OK. What does it add, if anything? :good:
A few stability tweaks more than anything, definitely worth updating to
You should be able to get to 1.29.401.11, there are a number of bug fixes, I can't remember them all, but should be listed in the requisite posts.
Big ones for the .11 are screen flickering and lost SD card space, they don't affect everybody.
Great stuff, many thanks!
OR, if you've not set it up much yet, flash the 1.29.401.12 RUU to be 100% up-to-date

Good plan.
I've just set it up and it's on charge at the mo, I'll play safe and just take the OTA.

The RUU is just as safe as OTA, but will delete your data.
It has a new radio that has been said to fix some mobile data connection issues. It's been rolled out to some Nordic countries so far.
There were 2 OTAs, the 1st to .07 and the 2nd to .11 as you mentioned. :good:

[Q] Why is my DEVICE ALREADY UNLOCKED????

Hello There fellow pro XDA Users i am in pretty desperate need of knowing if my Device is original or not, so please!!! help me :crying:
i have bought a new HTC One X 2 days ago from an authorized Dealer here in Bangladesh(they said themselves as authorized even though i have not found any info of them on htc web )
Anyways i bought the device checked all the things needed from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923016
and they all seemed okay so i was fine and bought it
But after trying to root my device and opening bootloader i WAS SHOCKED that my DEVICE IS ALREADY Unlocked!!!WHY???
Also The Device seems to be from Switzerland ORANGE as my CID is ORANG216
also i am getting pretty big lag spikes when playing dead trigger and gangstar rio is it because my device is FAKE?????
also because of staying out of htc service i cannot recive OTA updates so i tried to manual OTA from here that matches my CID http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606676
and thats when i found my problem
i have attachted my bootloader image and clockworkmod image please see them
also my software info
PLEASE HELP me so i can atleast try to get a refund
:crying:
From what i have been told earlier some dealers root the phone because of missing local languages in the software. Don't know exactly who or what, but that's my experience with an older case i read about a while ago. That guy told me that it was pretty normal......i just find it strange !
The only thing you must check is what kind of warranty you are entitled to. Because HTC will now no longer support software problems on the phone. Only real hardware problems will fall under warranty. But that's also sometimes a what grey area.
We can get you back to full stock and updated to Jellybean if you wish ?
Edit : its imported from Switzerland ? Then they did this to add languages indeed.
Are you on orange provider too ???
Even my device is imported (Sealed) from Australia.. I'm from India.. So I don't have HTC warranty...
However, I have ebay seller warranty and he has said he will replace the device with no questions asked in case of hardware failure...
So, in your case as well... I think it's pretty much the same thing?? You don't have HTC warranty... but dealer warranty... You should have clarified this with your dealer...

firstly no i am in no way in orange i am in GP(local SP here)and i also dont know if it WAS ported from swiss
so umm does that mean that the device is not fake i mean its just weird that an intact device(they cut the HTC poly and seal in front of myself) has unlocked bootloader
also about the warrenty yes i clarified it with the dealer they said that there is no replacement warrenty but if any problem does come up in a year (hardware or software) they will fix it so does that mean i don't need to get refund...what do you guys think?
also there are other strange things in my phone for example the phone CID is orang216 so it should display switzerland in its region but instead its displaying arabic and saying that the device is htc_ara (via app device info)
also the dealer used a special steel tool to cut my mini sim into micro with one press lol(machine looked kinda odd )
also if your talking about localization then there is arabic fonts installed here but not our country language though
also did you notice my boot radio is none ????there was supposed to be something written on it huh?
SO my final guess is that the dealer himself imported it from arab htc and its selling here though why does it have an swiss CID instead of arab?
so i am the only one with out of the box unlocked bootloader version here???? AND also it means that HTC NOW won't care about my device huh??? :crying:
AND LASTLY since my bootloader is already unlocked do you think its best to directly switch to a custom JB rom then the OTA JB??? and if i do wanna switch to custom rom can give me tutorial from beginner level and all the precautions i have to take? (is it even possible for me to go to a custom JB from my stock ics and old 0.95 bootloader??)
MAN I NEVER SHOULDA BOUGHT HTC IN THE FIRST PLACE :crying: :crying:
A lot of people do buy unlocked HOXs, what you could do is relock it if its really bothering you. Run the correct RUU, from fast boot, and it will relock your phone and give the original software etc

yes after a while now and a lot of research i gound out it is common also the no radio was a problem with my hboot 0.95(its normal)

Please mods close this thread
Wouldn't be complaining, saved you time. Also some have soft bricked thier phones in attempting to unlock.

True that!
However, for a person who is new to the world of rooting/upgrading and stuff and finds out his phone has been tampered with, it can be really frustrating!
Nwys, forum rules come before that! So.....
