Hello there,
Before posting this, I`ve tried to find the solution on the forum, but with no success, as far as I could see. I have a Chinese One X with:
1.26.708.2 software
2.6.39.4-g6b459dc kernel
1.1204.90.13 baseband.
I want to flash RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.26.401.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251208_signed.exe, but it says error (wrong CID, of course). I`ve rooted the phone via htcdev, installed recovery and SU, tried again to flash the same official ROM, but still error. It seems that CID is not changed or set to SUPER CID with this root procedure. how can I flash this ROM, if it`s safe, of course. I need this particular ROM because of the language packs that has inside, and I don`t want to put a custom ROM.
is there any way to change CID, or to repack the RUU to a file that can be flashed thru recovery? as i could se , the baseband from the phone and the RUU is the same, if is of any use.
THX in advance!
You need "S-Off" for flashing any RUU. Without S-Off, no chance to flash this RUU.
So far, nothing available yet, to get "S-Off"...
post in general, mods move to Q%A thread please !

ok, I`ll try to find the way to S-Off One X, I didn`t search for that
but what about flashing this WWE to a Chinese One X? will it be a problem, as it is in fact a downgrade?
there's no solution to your problem yet, if you want you can search for your answer on bbs.qdppc.com .
mm.. first that might be a Taiwanese version since China ends with x.xx.1400. as for me it did.
Why dont you want to put a custom rom now that you have unlocked your phone anyways? Android revolution HD is like a stock one but it has some improvements to performance and languages for everybody. There is also a 1.26 stock rom from mike1986 just google it and you will find it. Install a custom rom with stock look and language for now, make a backup before and when there is S-OFF you can restore and do what ever you want

Hi, someone would know tell me how to remove the brand(Vodafone) from my phone?
I have the software number 2.17.161.4. OS= 4.0.4
I want to install a ROM with Sense and JB 4 +.
Someone would know give me a help?
To debrand, all you have to do is unlock your bootloader (at htcdev.com), flash Clock Work Mod Touch Recovery, and then flash any custom ROM you like. There are plenty of them available in Android Development section of this Forum.
As far as JB installation, I'm afraid that - for the time being - you will have to wait that JB is pushed to European HOXs.

So, if you proceed with the removal of the brand, I will lose my warranty?
If so, how can I return it? Just install a ROM with the Vodafone brand?
Sorry for my bad English.
Debrand is not possible
To debrand your phone you need S-OFF, and that is not available for the HOX.
Because you have a branded phone, you cannot go to Jelly Bean Sense just yet, your CID does not match the one you need to install a JB Sense ROM.
You can unlock via HTCDev, flash a custom recovery and flash anything, where you don't need to flash a newer firmware (Hboot).
Edit: You probably cannot go back if there is no RUU available for your device and brand. You could try to make a nandroid backup after installing custom recovery, but I saw some people failing to restore the nandroid backup.

By debranding, I meant removing Voda's bloat and apps. I also guess that's what OP asked for. Of course he can't change his CID without S-OFF.
With the rest, I absolutely agree with you.
And, BTW, my HOX was also Voda branded (CID: VODAP102), but it runs a custom ROM for months already.

You lose the warranty by the fact that you unlock your bootloader, and you can't return it, unless HTC service center can't tell the difference between "LOCKED" and "RELOCKED" bootloader (which they often can't )
To return to your stock you could either do nandroid backup, as said, or find proper RUU and flash it.
Sorry, if this sounds like a noobish thread.
Well, i have CID_044 and Hboot 1.12 on the International Unlocked Version of HTC One X. My question here is, when the official update (JB 4.1.1) for my CID is released, will it automatically update my Hboot as well? Coz i think JB requires a newer Hboot? Or will i have to do it manually?

Edit : and yes jb needs a higher hboot, but if you ask me my opinion according to your question ....stay on ics and wait for the official update, it will update everything automaticly .....it comes when it comes.....

Most probably yes , hboot is like the BIOS on a computer , so it should need a compaitable boot.img , I mean the boot.img at the newe JB Stock ROMs need a compaitable hboot to run which may be only available at newer hboots
HTC_044 issue

During installation its failed and returned back main menu on CW. I restart the device in bootloader and try to reach recovery mode but it isnt opening and restaring. Now, I can only reach bootloader. By the way device is unlocked. Help me please
Hi everyone,
Hopefully an easy question for those more experienced than I...
I have previously rooted my OneX and installed custom roms on ICS. I restored original rom, re-locked bootloader and flashed original recovery so I could install the JB update over the air. This all went smoothly.
I used over the air update as my CID wasn't on the list here (yet):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
I would like to re-root my device and start installing the custom JB roms. Can I just unlock the bootloader again, install CWM recovery, then start flashing the JB roms (and boot.img) as before, using this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592355
Or is there something I need to wait for?
Thanks,
Craig

I'm seeing something about HBoot in some of the custom roms. I can't seem to find a clear explination, but is this something that was updated when I updated OTA, or does it need to be modified again to run the custom roms?
Thanks,
Craig
So what i understand you are on stock JB at the moment ?
If so yes you can unlock,install custom recovery and flash JB roms the same way as you did on ics
You can check the top of the bootloader if it says hboot 1.31 or higher you are good to go

Hi, I am really sorry to post such a simple and maybe common question, I just CANNOT find a straight answer.
I have a HTC ONE X 32GB (WW version) I got from China.
I checked the version of the Ruu and it says 1.29.708.9 (HK Ruu)
And the bootloader was unlocked, so i locked it.
I want to return to Stock Ruu cause I cannot update the official version.
I have 2 questions:
1. I am from Israel, so when I return to stock RUU, should i install the HK version like the one that WAS on my phone, or a different one??
-Can I install a different Ruu or it will screw my phone?
2. If i update to the HK Ruu which was originally on my phone, will i get a specific update dedicated to the Ruu or a general one from HTC?, I just want it to be "worldwide" and not really blocked to any updates.
Thanks, sorry for the mess.
Hey there... well as a matter of fact any other RUU will NOT work. You have to get the appropriate RUU for your phone depending on where it is from...
This will NOT block any updates, it's just for languages and local stuff specific for that region, but technically it won't be any different from any other One X.
Also there is no international RUU... every phone MUST have a specific region yours is China and that doesn't make it any different or change anything whatsoever.
Edit : Here is the link to the HK Jellybean RUU http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/sec...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_299865_signed.exe
Follow the steps on the RUU help threads if you're new to this... This RUU will give you the latest major update. Any other official updates should roll out to you as long as you have the official recovery. If you want the WWE you can get a custom ROM that has it but I doubt that you can get it officially. Good luck with this
I hope I helped
Hi, if you are in ICS, go to stock .
Means you need to restore a stock nandroid back up and its boot img . Then flash stock recovery, and last re lock bootloader. Why? To get official ota manually.

I'm not quite sure what is the Rom i am currently using, it looks like a stock rom that China folks changed to fit in their stupid little programs.
Why do I need to do all that stuff you said?, can't i just install the stock rom like Waseem said?
If your hox is jellybean , yes, there some roms stock look, also i can make you one with no modifications or tweaks...but....if your firmware is ICS, you need to update, and for that i recommend you to update via ota.
Whatever you need or want,i can help you

Hey I appreciate it, but I simply want to make my HOX fresh and clean from bull that was installed by Chinese folks and get a stock rom that updates by itself.
I downloaded Waseems RUU which he said was the latest for my version of HOX.
I already made my bootloader "Relocked" because it said to do so on some guide.
Now, Do i need to flash stock recovery? or just install the RUU?
Sorry i'm a bid confused.
This is my machine:
Android 4.0.3
Software #: 1.29.708.9
HTC SDK API LEVEL: HTCExtension_403_1_GA_7
Please give me some quick advise, this shouldn't be too hard, but it messes with my head.
Also, do I need to make some sort of cleaning to my phone before installing the RUU?, or the RUU installations does it by itself?
You need ICS latest ruu for our firmware. Cant install JB over ICS.
SkyDragon© You Are Not Allow To Lick My Banner, Stay Away!
What is JB?
I have the latest RUU which Waseem posted earlier. But do I need to install dtock recovery for it? Or somehow clean my device before installing the RUU?

What he means is that you can NOT install a 3.14 based ruu, you need to install a 1.29 or a 2.17 ruu. The hboot difference is to big !
Edit :
Download this one
http://bugsylawson.com/index.php/fi...89-radio-1120410414-release-259897-signedexe/
Relock the bootloader if its unlocked and execute the ruu with admin rights. This will bring the phone to full factory stock. Note that it will wipe EVERYTHING !
After the ruu you reboot and do all the official ota's you can get....
Holy cow.. now I get it. The Ruu Waseen gave me is jellybean (jb) .
Ok cool thanks.
But still. How do I determine if i need to install stock recovery before installing ICS stock ruu?
Because I accidently Relocked the hboot before flashing the stock recovery.
Also, all links to stock ruus are broken, wherecan I download ICS stock Ruu?
I seriously appreciate your help guys

Mr Hofs sir. I thank you kindly. )
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
You only need to install the 1.29 ruu with admin rights and a relocked bootloader. It will flash it all back. Then do official ota to the 2.17 software....etc etc....until you cant go higher anymore. Latest software should be at least 3.14 ...

Hey sorry I thought you had the JB Hboot... here is the 1.29 RUU for HK http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/sec...Radio_2.1204.122.17_release_268338_signed.exe
flash it and it should restore the stock ICS software to your HOX. then go to Settings > About > Software updates and you should then get the official JB update which will update your Hboot, Radio and ROM to the JB base 3.x
I forgot if you have to flash the stock recovey and re-lock before flashing stock RUU but I don't think you do. I guess if you flash the RUU it should relock your phone and flash stock recovery and boot.img by itself But please to be safe just make sure this is true.
A ruu does not lock the bootloader, you have to do that yourself. The only thing a ruu does is flash back the stock recovery,boot.img and software.
You relock the bootloader in fastboot mode
Fastboot oem lock
Keep the phone in the bootloader and right click on the ruu and select
Run as administrator
Edit....the first ota you will get is the ics 2.17 software, then you will get a small update and after that you get the 3.14 jellybean update. You do not get the jellybean instantly.....

I did everything you said, now i have a different problem
I cannot open the RUU file you told me to download (the installer).
I had that problem on my other PC and then downloaded JAVA and it worked.
On this laptop I downloaded java, and it still doesn't load the installer.
It opens a COMMAND windows, and closes it. nothing happens.
I run it as admin and verything.
I am using Windows 7 32bit :\
Any idea?

Yes i have it installed.
OK now something weird happened, I tried to open the RUU installer that Waseem gave me (the second one, for the 1.29 ICS) and it opened it!
But it doesn't open the file you gave me, which is 300MB
and waseems is the same name but 550MB.
what is the difference???/?
Edit :
Just checked the one i linked, you had a broken download. The one i linked is around 580 mb !
