i dont know, i got this phone a week ago and tried the ota updater and it had nothing. this just popped up today. i do not plan to install it either way but are you sure this is the same update?

I'm 99% sure. If you update you won't be able to root phone until HTC release new unlock.
My WFS has bootloader unlocked, S-ON and rooted, running JxMatteoROM v1.1.
No need to use any updates from HTC anymore. I froze update with link2sd and no more nag to install it.

What is the Android version? Is it 2.3.5?

[Q] Unbranding HOX without S-OFF

Hi everybody,
I know this sounds like the tipical question and up until some days ago, I thought I had the answer too....
But reading some posts lately, I now have a doubt and I really wanted to ask this directly:
Is it possible to unbrand an HOX (3 UK), even if we don't have S-OFF yet?
I thought that, being that without SOFF the radio wouldn't be accessible, it would not be possible to completely unbrand anything....
But then in some recent post someone mentioned that in the HOX the radio is in the ROM so it can be actually overriden....
So, if I unlock through htcdev, and install any of those ROMs based on newer RUUs and Radios, will it work? The radio too?
Any downside to this approach? (beside warranty, of course)
Thank you for the clarifications....

No it is not possible to flash a different RUU without S-OFF
You can run custom, though

I cant find the way to ask a question so i will ask here ...... I want to update my evo 3d to 4.0 , i finished downloading successufly but when i try to install it the phone powers off and takes me to bootloader menu(that i unlock it then relock it) i reboot the phone but
The update dosent appear ...helppp

Ok, so this is what I knew....but what will the custom rom override the radio??
3UK phone have specific radios, I think, so what if I install a custom rom based on a newer RUU with a newer radio? What wil it happen??
Thank you!

Somebody will correct me if i'm wrong but I am 99% sure that the radios are the same fot 3uk as for any other provider. The radio's are provided by htc.
Custom rom's will be fine, the only thing that you can't do brandwise is sim unlock until s-off is achieved.

you can unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, install root, change CID, restore stock recovery, relock bootloader and install unbranded RUU
I did this on two One S and the procedure is the same for the One X

it's working on Sensation and One S... I don't know why it cannot work on One X too, all you have to do il pull an android file, edit it to change the CID and push it back to the phone

Won't work, people have tried and failed. Something to do with the tegra 3 and new security measures implemented by HTC. You can edit the cid but on reboot it will be back to normal

I don't have the technical reasons to hand ( something to do with the partitions being different I think ) but it's all down to this being tegra3 based
In the general forum the is a massive thread where this has been discussed many time.

[Q] HOX bricked after updating HBOOT

I started out with an unlocked and unrooted Vodafone France branded HOX (CID VODAP203) with S-ON running stock ICS.
Foolishly, I assumed I needed to update the HBOOT in order to receive the official Jellybean upgrade. So I downloaded the appropriate firmware.zip from here and flashed it using fastboot. That procedure completed successfully, and the phone rebooted.
Since then, it has been stuck at the Beats Audio screen, which is what I suppose is called a "bootloop".
I tried using the correct RUU from htcruu.com, but that throws up an error about the wrong HBOOT version. I can't reproduce the message exactly; there is insufficient charge to try again.
I had HBOOT 0.43 before; after flashing, I have 1.36. Is there any way out of the bootloop? I don't mind wiping the phone.
Any help at all will be greatly appreciated! :cyclops:

Did you run JB RUU? You need to.

I can't seem to find a JB RUU for my CID. It's not listed on the Official OTA collection page either.

Try to reflash.

Got it.
The phone had gotten locked again, that's why trying to flash anything resulted in an error. Feeling very stupid now.
Got the unlock code from HTCDev, unlocked phone, flashed boot.img and recovery.img from rom.zip retrieved from stock RUU.
Phone is now back to normal.
Thanks a lot!

Super.
Enjoy JB. :beer:

Err.. I'm actually back to ICS; couldn't find the stock JB ROM.
Now I'm just being greedy, but would you perhaps know where I might find the JB RUU for my CID? The OTA was released in November, but it hasn't been added to the collection here on xda.

y dont you just flash stock recovery and update to JB since the ota is out as you said ?

I'm not getting the JB OTA when I force it to check for updates. I only get an update from ICS 4.03 to 4.04.
I guess I'll just need to keep trying everyday

Why just send email to HTC with question from where to find appropriate RUU because you did not receive an ota?
Or send it to your local services center to upgrade it?

[Q] The latest/current verion on ATT model

Hi guys,
What's the current firmware version on ATT model? Mine is on 1.15.502.7, however on HTC website, there's a version 1.15.502.8. Should I upgrade to this version or they are the same?
Thanks!

.8 is the latest, the release notes basically come down to VoLTE improvements.

Yeah, if you are updating via RUU you have to go back to stock recovery and lock the bootloader. All super easy to come back from after flashing though!

Thanks! So,basically, I'll have to unlock the bootloader again and then root it?

A little help over here! If I want to update via RUU, do I need to be s-off?
I'm on at&t model, full stock, .7 software, already downloaded .8

No you don't.

check firmware version?

So I managed to flash a rooted developer edition rom on my m9 and when I tried to run ota updates, I got an error saying that it couldn't finish because my phone's software has been modified. After some searching around (and admiditantly some arguing), found out that it's because my firmware doesn't match my android version. I'm still running android 5.0.2 and I don't THINK I messed with the firmware. So how do I check the firmware version and find either a rom (preferably as close to stock as possible) or a ruu that will work for the software/firmware versions that I'm using?

Please do a "fastboot getvar all" and post here.

There ya go

Download this RUU: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=96039337900114053
Rename it to 0PJA100.zip
Put it in root of your card(fat32 formatted).
Boot in download(make sure you have sufficient battery) and follow instructions.
P.S: First backup your data, this procedure will erase all your data.

If you have S-OFF it's simple to convert, I'll show you a little tutorial.
If you don't have S-OFF it's impossible and you'll be stuck with this firmware if you won't get an AT&T sim.
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

I don't have S-offor or the $25 for sunshine. Shouldn't there be a t-mobile, MetroPCS or developer rom or ruu that's compatible with the firmware I'm using?

You can only flash AT&T because of CID, every carrier have different CID and because that the different RUU will give you error.
Only with S-OFF you can change CID and MID and flash any GSM RUU.
So, you're stuck with 1.32.502.9 firmware until you get an AT&T sim to update it or s-off it.
With this firmware you can only flash custom roms with Android version 5.x and some 6.0.x but just few 6.0.x and maybe will be unstable.
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Ah, okay. So basically, I have to go back to AT&T then use a series of ruu files to work my way to nougat then finally flash the custom rom?

Or you can just flash this RUU, then update it from settings, it's more simple.
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

That's actually why I tried flashing a rom. AT&T won't let you get updates unless you're using their sim card for some ungodly reason.

I understand what you tried but it's impossible to jump firmware to 2.xx.502.xx or more with RUU, this can be done only with OTA on S-ON phones.
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Is it possible to go from one ruu to the next until I get the phone to nougat though?

No, you cannot update it to 2.xx.502.xx or more with RUU, just OTA, Flippy explained you why in the other thread(different encryption between 1.... 2... 3... and 4... firmwares).
So the only way to update your firmware is to flash the RUU I give you(don't flash twrp, root,etc), get an AT&T sim and update it from settings until you reach nougat.
I don't explain it one more time... I think I explained the same thing in different ways 3-4 times....
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Excuse me. I was thinking/hoping software provided by HTC themselves would be able to upgrade the firmware along with the OS instead of forcing everyone to be stuck with the only option for software upgrades from a carrier that we don't even want/use. It only makes sense that if it can be done on samsung phones, which I've rooted and flashed several times, it could also be done on HTC. So it looks like the only way to get nougat is to suck AT&T's ****. Thanks.
