Tried that 2 seconds after unpackaging the phone No new software found.
[edit]Ignore this post. Thought serialtoon had this version instead of wanting this version[/edit]
I don't think it is a retail One X purchased in China. 1.26.401.2 is generic European version IIRC. You don't need to do anything with it. You're fine just using that version and should get updates before any of the carrier branded versions.
I've included the version of the ROM I'm on right now.

Ahh. I thought you were on that version now. Sorry. Misunderstood what you were asking.
At the moment, all you can do is unlock the bootloader at htcdev and flash a custom firmware. You can't apply an official HTC firmware or change the baseband firmware as the bootloader is still in S-ON mode.
Once/if somebody does work out how to put the bootloader in S-OFF mode then you can alter the CID and reflash it with an official US or European One X firmware.

I see. Well I guess I'm stuck with this ROM for a little bit. In the end I'll just end up Modding it. As for right now. I've had the phone for less than a few hours so I'll enjoy it as it was intended. thanks!

Hey guys. Quick question if anyone can help me.
A friend has a HTC One X from Three UK which he has had carrier unlocked by Three UK themselves. I want to know if I would be able to flash the stock Rom onto this device to debrand it, without having to S-Off.
His CID is H3G__001. I initially assumed he would not be able to without S-Off, but I thought I would check my old HTC Hero which was originally on Three UK and then unlocked in the same manner.
The Hero I managed to debrand by flashing a stock RUU, but the CID on that device is also H3G__001. So I'm thinking, if the CID ends with __001, does that mean a stock RUU can be flashed?
Do any of you know what the CID is for a locked Three UK device?
My friend is looking to sell his HTC One X and I'll only buy it if I can debrand it and have it running the stock firmware.
Currently using a Desire HD and iPhone 4, but getting sick and tired of waiting for the upcoming ICS update. If HTC had said the DHD is not being update, then I would have just got the One X..!
My locked three branded phone has the same CID - I don't beleive you will be able to install a stock ruu on this phone without changing the CID.

You can still put a stock rom on the phone by going down the htc dev route but you can't use an RUU.
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.

thanks for the info qzfive i still have cid HTC_001 and used ClockworkMod to make a backup and later on after a fews roms used i to recover but it doest have the virgin branding,,
note to anyone else reading this,dont try when you have beer lol
First I want to apologize that I am re-posting this in the general forum. I posted this originally in the Q&A but didnt get much help and dont know if this is useful in any way, but I am reposting it here as to see if anyone can possible shed some light on this, Again Mods and all I do apologize:
Greets all,
I have a question, I tried doing a search on google and on here but nothing is coming up thats useful, so sorry in advance for the post if i missed it because of not using the right keyword.
I have two HOX's, Long story short, I smashed my screen on my white one and sent it in to HTC to fix it, they did but they messed the phone up, so I sent it back and they fixed it, but looking at the phone, I think they changed my phone completely,. Mine the bootloader was unlocked and had a custom stock rom with root. Now my black one and my white one had the same Software Number under the software information section which the black one is: 2.17.401.2. (Black one X bootloader never unlocked or rooted)
But the white one they sent back to me has this: 2.17.1900.1 710RD.
everything else is exactly the same except for this numbering. I was expecting that I would have gotten back the phone the way I sent it back after they fixed it, but obviously its not, and before going and re-unlocking and rooting the phone, I wanted to know if this 2.17.1900.1 710RD meant anything or what region is this phone? Checked the bootloader and it says locked, so I dont know if this is a new phone, or they just locked it.
Looking at the serial number on the phone and the email in the correspondence the serial number matches, so that leads me to another question, can they take a new phone and change the serial number to match your prior phone if its not repairable? Plus this rom on my phone has a few apps on it that I havent seen at all on either phone like:
Dr. eye, easy card, KKBox, They also have Amazon MP3 in this rom too along with all the google apps, Movie, Music, etc.
The CID is the same as before: HTC__001 just like my black one. Both phones are international quad core phones, and I sent my white one to be repaired to the HTC in Houston TX.
Thanks to anyone that can shed light to this.
Here are two screenshots of the Software Number, and of the Bootloader.

Looks like you have a branded phone, but since your CID is HTC__001 you may be able to run an unbranded RUU
Sent from my locked, tampered ville
My original phone was not branded. And being that I have the cid of HTC__001 I don't think it's branded to anyone, but the software number is strange. I have not seen anyone with this number nor can I find anything on the web about this number.

Anyone?

You sent it to a USA repair center, might be a modified One XL Rom?
The same here, I just got my phone and it has same software ! "2.17.1900.1 710RD" I just called them and they told me to call back after one hour !! to speak to the escalation department ...
and now I'm waiting to get an answer from them.
RD software numbers stands for "Research and Development". More like a "beta" in layman's terms.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app
I just called the escalation department at HTC and they told me to send it back to get fixed.
Even though I told them that I can fix it by flashing the UK software but they told me that would avoid my Warranty!!
How stupid !!! My phone was there since August Now they want me to send it back ..!!
Any ideas ?
Well first if its a beta then this bring about a few questions:
1) why isnt the software update check updating it to the 2.17.401.2 software?
2) being that it was sent to a USA repair center is this a USA rom? being that we cant flash other roms.
3) Would RD roms also not have test keys under the more/build number instead of release keys?
And Modnet, they want you to send it back to them so they can fix it? Last I checked flashing an official RUU would not void your warranty. Mine I had unlocked the bootloader, and rooted the phone, so since my screen was smashed, all I could do was back up the phone, and then sent it to them as is, when I got it back, the bootloader was "Locked" and flashed this rom. I personally wouldnt send it back to them. But the curious thought here is, could there be something in this rom that might be useful to us in regards to S-Off, or easier rooting, since this could be a Research and Development rom as Skanob states and thats why they want it back? I know its a long shot but its a thought.
But even if this is a RD rom, is this a US rom or a UK rom? Cause IF its a US rom, being mine has the cid of HTC__001 and being of the UK region, it would show maybe how to get another region rom on to our phones? Brainstorming here as you can see
I can tell you one thing for sure, putting both phones together, my Black HOX which is untouched and my backup, the Cell Signal strength is better then the white one that they sent back to me, the black one is -87dBm 13 asu 4-5 bars, my white one is -91 dBm 11 asu 3 bars. Dont know if this is due to the current rom in my white one, or cause of the wire or prongs making contact on the phone.
Good thinking man ...
Contact htc with your imei number, and they should help you. Ota releases are based on imei numbers(according to htc) and if the RD rom they installed supports ota updates they will send you the update individually.
Edit: the official release for UK has not been released yet.
Sent from my HTC One X
Vcek, your looking for a JB release, yes you are correct its not released yet, but I am talking about the software update of 2.17.401.2. this was the last official update which brought 4.04 ICS, and Sense 4.1, My black one has this, my white one did also until now. The question still stands if this rom: 2.17.1900.1 710RD is a "Beta" then why isnt it being updated to the official 2.17.401.2 rom of ICS?
And again, if this is a US beta ROM, then could there be something in this rom that can show us how they flashed a US rom onto a UK device? Because the software numbering here from what I have tried to search for doesnt follow any rom numbering we have seen. I havent unlocked the bootloader or rooted the phone just yet, because I am trying to see if this can be of help to any of us in our goal of being able to flash different region roms without the need of S-Off.
This rom has put alot of thoughts in my head on how possibly to flash different region roms, but again its brainstorming based on what I am suspecting. I dont want to get rid of a rom, or do something to the phone, without knowing it could have helped us in some way, it would be a waste of a rom in the event HTC F-ed up putting this beta rom on at least me and modnet's phone.
Have you checked your bootloader? Something weird might be there too .

Already been done in the OPs other thread in Q&A - it's all correct and present with a locked bootloader.
My take, it's an internal ROM that shouldn't be on the phone. I'd just flash the 2.17.401.2 RUU and be done with it

I'd keep it, might get an early R&D JB
I said that because someone on the One S forums had a new HBOOT version of 1.33 and S-OFF, but not the stock ROM unfortunately, so couldn't see of it was an early JB lol
Sent from my locked, tampered ville
My main thought here is this truthfully:
Being that we all are trying to find ways to flash roms from other regions, if this is a USA Rom beta or not, maybe we could find how it was done so that we can do the same without the need of s-off, or having to flash kernels separately. I'm just trying to think outside the box. And the other question is if my boot loader was unlocked and if I relocked it and it would say relocked, how did they get it to say locked?
Maybe my thinking is far fetched, but maybe it's not. That's why I'm trying to make the right people aware.

Based on the fact that there is very little interest in this rom , I am going to assume nothing can be used to help us, so based on that I will root and unlock my hox for daily use and put the official 2.17.401.2 rom in its place tomorrow.

Sense Version: 4.1
Software number: 2.17.401.2
HTC sdk api: 4.23
Help from international or Aussie users welcomed. I'm using Telstra prepaid and my phone is unlocked (purchased from Kogan) I'm wondering why I can't get the Jelly Bean update, my phone is not rooted. I have tried to manually check for updates, but to no avail. It's kind of fustrating not being able to get the update, I believe it's due to carrier? Telstra doesn't have HTC, but I believe I should have got over the air update at least? I'm not sure what else to do, wait it out? or just better off rooting my phone? which of course would erase my data and i have to do all backups etc.
Anyone can assist/help me on this, it would be great.
Update is released in batches, might need to wait some more. Personally, I would root and install custom ROM, can't stand stock software. But might lose warranty.

If you buy a phone from Telstra or Vodafone ....it'll be full of their crap and its hard to find updates ...so install a custom rom to remove all the bloatware by telestra and you'll be able to get updates

Well you certainly did read the OP's post.....
He said he purchased it online on Kogan, which means that it's unbranded. Also, his CID indicates that it's unbranded. And lastly, Telstra only sells One XLs. :silly:
@OP, your carrier shouldn't matter since your phone is unbranded.
JB updates are rolled out via imei. There are plenty of very good ICS custom roms to choose from if you cannot wait, I'm sure you will find one that will suit.

Hmm so it's rolled out through CID, I read mine is European CID (not 100% sure) and that hasn't been rolled out yet in that region. I guess I have to wait longer, is there a way to check when they would roll out or is just a waiting game?
