Hi all,
I follow the instructions in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152233 from CuBz90
But still not working in Desire HD with builed number 2.42.415.1
I try many times but I unfortunately failed..
Please help..

it wont work with 2.42...........
downgrading 2.42 is not yet found.........
we must hav to wait........

Thanks man i just wanted to know if it will work on my 2.42.... .

Hello,
I think it should works. This is using the Goldcard method. The goldcard is a general method which should not be dependent on the phone version !
With goldcard you can install other OFFICIAL stock roms.
In the field of Android custom ROMs, what a Gold Card does is letting you install ROMs on your Android device that aren’t intended for your carrier. For example, if you have a T-Mobile USA HTC Desire, you can install an official ROM intended for the O2 UK HTC Desire, or even a generic ROM that isn’t locked to a carrier. It does so by disabling the CID (Carrier ID) check that the device does when installing a ROM.

Using the goldcard doesn't need any root permissions. It is a htc way to use other official stock roms. First you try to downgrade to official stock rom 1.32.405.6 then try to root this version.

but what do u think about going to the latest 2.50 ?

no way...am not going to update......the we have to wait again for downgrading 2.50.............
I will downgrade my 2.42 wen it comes.......
It will be great if we downgrade this week itself..........

The waiting answer is not enough for me and the others , unless some one tell us if they works on it to figure out how to solve the root issue
thanks to all members in this forum specially the supportive peoples who give us that hope.
Am Still waiting since along time.. for a hope

i agree with you ,knowing someone is working on it is good and hopefull.

[Q] Custom ROM thats as close to an OFFICIAL DeBranded as possible ??

Hi guys, I have an HTC One X thru 3 Mobile UK, and yes, its FULL of bloatware and apps I do not want or need. So, my question is, if I unlock via HTCdev, I will NOT be able to flash the OFFICIAL Generic HTC ROM (DeBranded), is this right ?? Also, if I cant, what custom ROM can I use that IS AS NEAR to the official ROM as possible ?
Many Thanks in Advance for your kind suggestions.

ARHD is almost official ROM, but most of bloatware is gone and its tweaked for performance

agreed with Putti..ARHD is the one for you mate

Yeah definitely ARHD. I'm running the new v6 release on my previously-branded 3UK handset and its fantastic. Add the menu button change and its spot on.

S-On is a security feuture that HTC implemented to allow people to find their lost or stolen phone online. It is S-on by default and they(the awesome people on xda) are still working on a s-off solution.
You can still flash roms with S-on but you need your bootloader unlocked(Every One X has a locked bootloader). There is a noob friendly guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592355 on how to do so.
The best rom will depend on your own taste. The sense roms are the least buggy and because they have source code for that. Roms like Charmelean, Leedroid, ARHD and so on. You'll see they are sense roms.
On your nr.5, everything you need to know is on the link 2 paragraphs up.
Hope you manage and wellcome to xda and one X, you'll love it here.

Dude!!! S-off or s-on has absolutely nothing to do with finding your phone! Stop bsing. It's a security feature that HTC implemented to lock certain parts of the system. If you have s-off it means full root.

ONe V with singapur rom version

I bought my phone unlocked from amazon, and it came with a singapur/malasia rom version.
This doesn't allow me to change the language to Spanish (I bought this phone for my mom).
Where can i get an HTC ROM with Spanish language as an option?
I don't want any other ROM (CM or any other) because my mom is used to Sense.
Thanks

Directly from heaven
now, do I have to unlock the bootloader and root or since it's an official HTC file there is a way to install it directly?

Well first of all you won't be able to install official HTC rom for different region. So the above thread wont help you much. What you need is to unlock the bootloader and flash custom ROM. You want sense so I recommend to flash this one:
[ROM-PrimoU] [15-July] myONEv RC3.0
And I also recommend to flash Weather_Lockscreen_RC3.0_update.zip and JellyBean-Animations-myONEvRC3.0.zip from hereMyOne addons The first one fixes the size of icons and the second JellyBean like user interface animations.

Well, what I want is the HTC original rom, but with the option to have it in Spanish... That's it.
I've never done this before (changing only ruu)... I've always unlocked bootloader, soff, and then went with cm7 or energy back in the days, and that's why I'm asking
So again, should I only run the exe file? Or treat this a a rom (unlocking bootloader, etc first)?

You can try the ruu but you can only instal ruu for the same region. You can not install stock HTC for different region. So unlock bootloader and install the one I recommended. It will be like stock HTC just a bit better.

Thanks for the help... Where can I find a log about what has been improved with that rom? Just curious.
Btw, I can change the language to Spanish right?

Just check the link. There is a change log and yes you will be able to choose Spanish.

Look at the market morelocale2. This app unlock all languages installed in your phone.

[Q] Update Problem

Hi,
I bought my HTC One X few months ago. And I didn't receive an update yet. When I was waiting for 4.1 JB update I see that my version is very old and I cannot even make a software update check. I don't have that menu in about section.
This my first post so I can't send screanshots but menu looks like that ABOUT>Software Information>
android version 4.0.3
HTC Sense version 4.0
Software Number 1.29.401.7 (Unlocked with HTCDev)
I searched the forum and can not find a solution for this please help.
Thanks

if you dont have the option it means you have a custom rom installed
make a backup of your phone
flash 1.29.401.7 ruu.
EDIT: and dont ever post questions again outside the questions forum

There may not be any updates since then. Jellybean is only just being officially released and isn't even released in most places.

Your phone should be on custom ROM as it do not owned a uodate check button.
You need to determine where your phone origin from by checking CID. Grab cid getter from play store or via fastboot fastboot getvar cid.
Then re-lock bootloader and flash the corresponding RUU to return to stock.
Kindly search and read some tutorials to learn before asking.

Am I right in saying that you bought your One X second hand, as obviously your bootloader has been unlocked via HTCDev
And searching under Android Development brings you right to this collection of all info that one might need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832891
Jelly Been Android 4.1 is only available for certain Hboot versions
You cand find yours by power down your device, wait a few seconds, then press Power and Vol- together and keep holding until you get to the bootloader screen.
From there you can select the recovery and see if that is installed, if not or you don't have the latest recovery installed follow this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592355
Obviously you are already unlocked so you can follow with installing your fastboot folder as described in the last thread and then install Clockworkmod 5.8.4.0 which is the latest...then do a nandroid back up of your current ROM and follow the guides to re-lock your One X, install the stock recovery for your current ROM, then run the apropriate RUU of which after you have the latest stock ROM for your fone and carrier.
BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING MAKE SURE YOUR One X IS FULLY CHARGED
I don't know how to unlock again as you won't have the initial Unlock Token mail from HTCDev...so maybe it is better to just stay with stock. So read read read and understand before you jump in! Have fun
And before byuing a second hand device next time make sure it runs all stock stuff, and if not, that you get also all documentation related to to the device you plan to purchase.

Depends on how long ago the phone has been rooted and rommed ? Or is that a strange thought ?
