as above has anybody got or know where i can get it incase i need to return it for repair,many thanks
There isn't one - my One V is also from Virgin Mobile UK, and the software version is exactly the same as Europe Unbranded (even the CID is Europe Unbranded, HTC__001), and the branding that there was disappeared after unlocking the bootloader (I'm assuming the brand was located in a lovation that deals with the bootloader flag - kind of like DRM?). I looked at insurance/warranty stuff on their website about what modified software would do to the warranty and found nothing, but I did see this: "devices will be returned with Virgin Media-approved firmware".
So going by that, and the fact that VM UK One V's use Europe Unbranded as a base, as long as you have this version installed, you should be fine, since it's still the same software number as it was shipped with. YMMV though.

Need to send my phone back as the screen is cracked and I get a replacement.
However I'm unsure what RUU to get. I got the phone off vodafone. However there is no branding on the phone and when I startup there is no vodafone logo. So while I think the phone is unbranded, the only RUU i can find that matches my baseband and software version is a vodafone one.
Should I jsut try to use the vodafone RUU and does it require a gold card?
You had a vodafone rom before you rooted it? Then you have to install the Vodafone ruu (from your country).

That is not necessarily true. Check here: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo.
If it's not there flash a generic one. Mine was network locked but not branded.
Just a quick question before you go to all the trouble..
Most carriers will not provide a warranty replacement for phones with physical damage like cracked screen.. might wana check that first

Hi all,
I live in Australia and I bough the One X from UK, online, the model ID wasJ46100 and Model name:S720e, but I returned it with a full refund because it has the flickering screen issue.
I bought another one from a local store in Melbourne, Australia (outright) it was very obvious that the new one has no flickering issue, but the model ID isJ46110 and model name:S720b!
From the firmware thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551581) I notice that they are talking about the MIDJ4610000 while my MID isJ4611000 and because I unlocked the bootloader before saving the CID now I'm getting "none" as CID, so I *think* that I won't be able to upgrade my firmware until the S-OFF
None of the RUU here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604) works for me!
My questions:
Q1- Is there any way I can upgrade to 1.28 (or higher) without waiting for the S-OFF?
Q2- Is there any reason makes me return my PJ46110 and buy PJ46100? as I have 30-day return period.
Q3- How can I find the RUU that works for my device (any version)? Note: RUU extraction method didn't work
Q4- Is it OK to flash a custom ROM based on higher firmware than my device? For example: flashing ARHD 3.0.0 (which is 1.28-based on my 1.26 device) (This example works fine, but what about any future releases)
Note: I got the model ID from the back of the device, and model name from the box's cover, and MID from "fastboot getvar mid".
Out Of The Topic NOTE: I notice that there was FCC logo on the PJ46100 (UK model) but not in the PJ46110 (AU model)!!

A1 - You can't get OTA update without S-OFF even if you flash RUU because devices needs to have stock recovery and locked/re-locked bootloader. Also RUU is region dependent. So ANY RUU won't work until we have S-OFF.
A2 - IMO not a good idea to return the Aussie model and get the UK model unless you really have to and must get the OTA update.
A3 - I haven't seen any Optus or Vodafone RUU for Australia yet so you you will not get the 1.28 base via OTA until Optus or Vodafone releases them.
A4 - it is okay to flash custom ROM but you won't get any official updates until you bring your phone back to stock (stock recovery + re-locked bootloader and use RUU for your phone which is not out there yet if you have a Optus handset or Vodafone handset)
Having S-OFF we can make our device super CID which should work on any RUU once you have stock recovery and re-locked bootloader.

So as soon as we have the S-OFF my PJ46110 can be used exactly as PJ46100?
I asked because I have had very bad experience with Samsung Galaxy S II I9100G which does't accept the I9100 (without the G) ROMs, and I'm afraid that I'll face the same thing here

If it is OK to flash the custom ROMs without upgrading the firmware why the ROM developers always insist to upgrade the firmware before flashing?

Like I said with S-OFF we can get super CID which basically we can debrand our phones or convert our phones to use the RUU we want.
Devs say that so the phone won't have glitches like battery drain or lags. Basically if you use latest firmware means better performance.

I9100/i9100g is a different situation, they have different hardware inside and are effectively different phones.
I have the aus model too and am having no issues at all with custom rom (leedroid right now). The only major difference is that you wont get ota updates until optus / voda approve them. When we get super cid and soff you will be able to flash wwe ruu as soon as they are available.

Hello,
I recently got an HTC One X (from Kogan) but it's international stock, which means it comes with Asia firmware. Not a BIG deal, but i'd like to change the language from Singapore to Australia and remove over 15 carrier apps from Asia.
I updated the phone 3 times and am on version 2.17.707.3
I have no problem rooting, unlocking the bootloader (HTCDev.com) or installing clockwork recovery. I know how to do itt i just need the official HTC One X Australia ROM (Optus).
I want a ROM that is a genuine HTC one and that will be updated in the future.
Can anyone point me to one?
Thanks, Danz207
You can only install RUUs which match your CID number - in your case it's probably not OPTUS001 like mine since you bought it overseas.
About the bloatware, you can remove them using Titanium backup or ROM Cleaner, just remember to backup.

Can i still install an official rom though? Is just basically installing another rom over this one, i dont see the big deal?
Any custom rom defaults to WWE with all languages so why not get better performance out of IC or ARHD

Hi Dan I live in Sydney and Im thinking about getting the HOX from Kogan too. Can you please share your experience purchasing the phone from Kogan? I need a phone ASAP since I just cancelled my contract w Vodafone but I'm not sure if I should purchase the HOX from an online retailer (it's so much cheaper though) since the HOX has a lot of hardware issues (still prefer it over Samsung) and I dont want to have to send it overseas for 2 3 weeks if something happens (Im a smartphone addict xD). What a shame I need to get a phone quickly otherwise I would wait for the HOX+ hoping they will have fixed all the hardware related issues by then.

I was going to do the same
I also live in sydney, and purchase my hox from kogan, but I ended up getting it from eglobaldigitalcameras.com.au
it came with the taiwan bloatware. the preferred way I got rid of it was install ARHD.,
from memory the price was $50 cheaper then kogan, but that was because i had purchased from them before.

Hi ,
I have HTC 10 Europe with rom version 1.95.401.4
I tring to flash on my HTC 10 another firmware ,stock U.S firmware from HTC sources,(just want to get most updates fast)
I have been noticed that i can not change firmware beetween regions .
There is way to flash U.S Unlocked/Developer firmware on my device?
if so how can i do that ?
Thanks
Search for the de-branding thread for instructions. Need to purchase s-off for 25$ to do it.
Basically you need to be S-OFF. That is the only way to do it, even then it can be a pain in the ass. If the reason you're doing it is to try and update to Nougat, you're better off just waiting for it tbh. The ROMS for US will be specific for the carriers and types of radios they use over there. Europe will have differences and it may create problems for you (unless you are already in the US and for some reason aquired a non-US phone). There may even be small hardware diffferences between model numbers (US is 2PS65000 I believe, Europe is 2PS620000). I am S-OFF, fully stock, de-branded, unlocked, and have HTC WWE CID (HTC__001) after changing it from my carrier previously (H3G__001).
It also goes without saying, US doesnt always get updates first.

Okay, so I'm pretty new to this but also comfortable with computers and such.
I bought an HTC 10 Unlocked on ebay and it turns out it's a 64GB Asian Unlocked model which apparently (according to frequencychecker has some bands deactivated. It came running Android 7.0 software ver 2.41.400.5 and when I went into download mode (holding down volume while powering on) it is telling me that it is superCID 11111111 2PS62000 and S-off.
So my question is, if I change the CID and MID to the appropriate values, preferably for the NA Unlocked, will I be able to flash to the latest NA revision 3.16.617.2?
I've seen in another post regarding an AT&T model that deleting modem data (through Fastboot?) and then flashing could work for those radios (I'm on T-Mobile as of last week). Is there a way to read what bands are enabled? I know that the chip is capable of 24 but depending on the region they are restricted. Would this even enable them or should I just find a different phone?
hi, i had bought a similar "HTC 10 XC, so with 64GB ram" just like yours... also S-Off, SuperCID & modded MID to 2PS6200. (came pre-installed with WWE Nougat firmware and stock ROM.
may i ask what is your original MID as stated on the back of your phone? mine reads: 2PS6500!
do you happen to know what was your original firmware on that phone? you said it's an asian-64GB version... how do you know it's not an us-64GB one?
reason why I am asking? every since i applied the official OTA to Oreo => My GPS is fully dead!!! it sees the satellites just fine, but all have zero signal-strength so it cannot lock any GPS anymore
thanks for your reply

There is no model number posted on the phone at all. Only IMEI, S/N, and P/N and I was unaware of a 64GB version that was made available stateside. Also, according to the S/N the phone was manufactured January 22, 2016 yet it came pre-installed with a much newer version of the OS.
IMEI.Info was able to determine that it's an HTC 10 but couldn't determine anything beyond that. As far as I know, there's no such thing as a NIB phone with SUPERCID.
