Had my One x since a couple of weeks after it came out, best phone i've had yet. but i'm on a three branded phone, should of got an unbranded one off amazon i know. Since 3 are useless at giving out updates, i want to root my phone, which i know i can do as i had a desire HD rooted this and swapped roms about once a week.
What i want to know is if i can put the latest rru or ota 1.29.401.12 on with S-lock on so i can have the latest htc firmware on my one x and solve all the problems like loss of single and the storage issue?
Thanks
Fraid not, until we get s-off you have to use correct ruu.
You can always use a custom Rom based on the latest release

thats what i thought, so rooted and put arhd 8.1.0 on newer than the ota's. hopefully will be better battery life and solve the memory issues. Nearly as easy as a Derire HD to root.

Hi everyone, this is my first post, I bought my friends desire z, and found out that it has eng hboot and s-off.
So I flashed the official 1.34.707.3 ruu found in one of the threads thinking that it would restore it to stock with s-on.
Eng hboot is gone but I still have s-off. The thing is the phone is not prompting me for an OTA, even by manually checking for it in the about phone setting.
Will s-off prevent me from receiving ota? I was thinking it should immediately prompt me for an update seeing that the latest firmware is 1.82...
Please help thanks.
Download the ruu.exe ,or ota in lucky .

Even after flashing the RUU from HTC I still have s-off... I was not the one who rooted the device, It was like that when I bought it from my friend.
My biggest problem is that the phone cannot find the update which I think it should, seeing that the firmware is several months old and that a few updates have already rolled out. In other words, a 1.34 firmware should immediately find an update to a higher version.
Could there be a compatibility problem as I do not know the original rom that the phone came with and I just chose a WWE asian firmware since I am from the Philippines.
Amazing!! Ever heard of google? Or asking what original firmware is or rom? Heard of htc support?
Sheesh

I picked up a One X today from T-Mobile and to my horror it's branded and already out of date.
Is there a debrand process for it? Or can I simply run the HTC RUU and get back on the official HTC track.
To make matters worse, I can't get the drivers to install when USB debugging mode is enabled!
Have you checked out the dev forum for the root process and maybe you could install ARHD?
I will install ARHD in a few weeks but want to get an idea of the performance and general operation using a completely stock phone first, sort of a baseline.
Thanks
hello did you manage to find the stock images for the htc on x - i have a 3 uk, with all bloat, boot animations etc i want rid off off but want to run a standard stock image
We need SuperCID before we can run a HTC RUU.
Currently I'm T-MOB05 and need to be a CID beginning in HTC_0xx
Until then, unless you flash a custom ROM were are stuck.
I've flashed Android Revolution HD now which is much better than the awful T-Mobile ROM and has excellent support.

yes i didnt want to unlock bootloader yet etc
gutted
whats the HD rom like?
I've used ARHD on my Sensation since the first Ice Cream Sandwich and have always been happy with it, same goes for the One X, very close to stock with a few optimisations, general very quick and ultra reliable. The battery is loads better, although still no where near my Sensation.
I really wanted to try the stock HTC ROMs before I started with custom ones but seriously couldn't live with the T-Mobile ROM until SuperCID was realised.

Title says it all, is it possbile to flash stock ROM from a different region without S-OFF?
Not very familiar with these things, but reading around it seems I need s-off for flashing a ROM from a different region, which is not achieved yet
I'm currently using a Telecom HOX from NZ, and the software version is still 1.26.781.2, seeing other people already having 1.28 or 1.29 OTA updates, and even a newer 2.05.401.2 with Android 4.0.4 is coming out is very frustrating.
I really wish I can flash to a stock from from TW.
Anyone can help me?

No, you need S-OFF, and if you want to keep the phone in warranty by keeping the stuck ROM then your only option is to go with that old version...
But since you brought up the 2.05.401.2 those people are not using stock ROM, that's a test version and comes only as custom rom, if you have unlocked your phone already, then you can use custom ROMs with any version you like...

Really???? that is one of the main reasons I want a newer version, I heard the updates slightly fixes battery life. So far just using wifi for 5mins can drain my phone up to 10%
Hi all, I've now a Vodafone branded phone, as for now I only have to wait for official updates (I'm no rooted and locked bootloader), I was thinking of what will happen when no more official updates are released, will I be able to install custom ROMS with the latest Android distribution or will I be stuck on the last one I will have officially received?
Because as for now I can't update to custom jb ROMS due to the incompatible hboot, bus as far as htc doesn't release more official updates shouldn't the hboot be the same for everyone?
I know this couldn't be a clear explanation, sorry for that, but I need to know if I've to sell my phone to get an unbranded one or not... I'd like to be able to use this phone as long as I don't break it, so this is so important to me,
Thanks

you just have to wait longer, you will get your JB update. Every hox will get it. Unbranded have it earlier because the provider don't need to add bloatware !
If HTC pushes out a update you will also get it, doesn't matter if you have vodaphone or any other provider.
This also counts for future updates.
Yes, i know that, my thoughts were for when htc will not release updates anymore, what will happen then? Will we be able to flash custom ROMS based in aosp builds or not because of the hboot?

I think he wanted to know if he will get his JB update, will he be able to flash custom roms which need a newer hboot.
So as far as i know, if you get your OTA update, your hboot will also be updated to the new hboot and then you will be able to use all the custom roms which need the new hboot.
But nobody knows what will be if newer versions of Android will come out, maybe they will need again a newer hboot version. And as long as you have a carrier branded device you will always need to wait for your carrier update.
If the Dev's could achieve S-Off there wouldn't be a problem, but so far nobody has made it.
Edit:
AOSP works better with older hboot (under 1.23), for some reason the gps and some things are broken on newer hboot (over 1.23) and they often need a seperate kernel (boot.img) to work.
But there are also a lot of custom roms for the newer hboot in the other developement section.
However i don't know if dev's will decide to work only with the never hboot in the future.
Thanks, then as I thought there is no clue of what will happen for branded phones, so going for an unbranded seems the best choice, wouldn't it?

It's always the best choice.
But much likely if HTC releases a update, the carriers will / should follow, even though they will need more time.
Also if HTC won't release any more updates we will all be stuck on the latest version and maybe devs won't be capable of developing the newest android version for our device.
And even unbranded devices need the right CID for the right update unless we have achieved S-Off.
However i think there will always be enough experimental and also stable versions for any hboot version - thx to all the devs.
I didn't consider that even unbranded phones would need the right CID and hboot, so we're all in the same boat, branded and unbranded... Won't definitely buy another phone with locked bootloader, unless the s-off has been already achieved..

Because of the above I will NEVER go to a carrier store for a phone again!!
I think in a way we got unlucky this time round, since the hboot is not forward compatible with the sense ROM. Let's hope it's a one off rather than a new sinister plan, and future updates do not require an updated hboot.
Let's hope that, seriously.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
The very ....very best thing that could happen now is S-OFF so we can downgrade the hboot at any time so we can flash newer and older hboots in an instant !
But this is still very unlikely ! :thumbdown:
Hello Guys,
I have the one V and a buddy just recieved one. I got the one V when it first came to Virgin so there was no update for it. I know that an update for the V came out and causes problems when rooting and installing ROMs. I am looking to root my buddy's phone but it has been a while since I did mine, what version RUU or Radio version does the HTC need in order to root and install ROM without problems?
Sprint RUU, radio version .521.
