Hi Everyone,
I have become slightly frustrated as I seem to be unable to flash the stock rom back onto my HTC One X. I have a CID of HTC__001 which seems to be perfect and I am with Orange Uk. I have downloaded the correct RUU for the specific radio I have (2.1204.135.20) and when I run the exe in windows. It starts to work and then says my USB is not connected.
Previously I have been rooted and have flashed the recovery image, which does mean I am connected via use and in fastboot mode. Not sure what is causing this issue. If anyone could provide any assistance that would be fantastic.
Thanks
Andy
Andy,
Ruus need stock recovery. Are you back on stock recovery? Also, phone must be booted up into rom and respond to adb commands such as
Adb devices
This should list your devices serial number as connected. If you see that, then try running the ruu.

1. If you have HTC__001 then download the 2.17.401.2 RUU from here - http://d-h.st/HoB
2. Relock your bootloader!!
3. Boot the phone into fastboot and connect to the PC
4. Run the RUU
That's it, no stock recovery required
Thanks
Thanks for both of your replies. I have since managed to install the sense jelly bean roms from Insert Coin and also Maximum, realised that I did not need to install the RUU, just need to flash the boot.img. All is now great. The RUU that you posted was the one i tried but failed :s Its ok now though as now I am unable to return to ICS roms

How far does the RUU installer get? I had problems on the weekend where it got to the install shield then stopped. This was resolved by turning off norton and running as administrator.

I only get into the black screen with HTC logo:silly: I have Microsoft Security Essentials, already flashed RUU without problems, this was the 1st time. Meanwhile, flashed now with football rom, Revolution without any problems. Just wonder if when OTA will be available, if i can install it
thanks so much guys, this helped me a lot!
Help needed!
Hi guys. I'm very new to this so forgive me if I seem a bit stupid at times. I've been reading a lot and trying to learn things about the phone but I've got myself a bit stuck.
I have a HOX with the following;
*** relocked ***
CID HTC__001
Hboot 1.12.0000
radio-2.1204.135.20
Everything was stock, I unlocked and rooted. All went well, everything worked fine. Didn't install any ROM's. Installed CWM. Then JB was released so I unrooted and relocked and flashed stock recovery.
The phone now has;
Android 4.0.4
HTC Sense 4.1
Software 2.17.401.2
API 4.23
HTC Extension 403_1_GA_20
Everything works. I can boot the phone and everything works as it should. The only issue I can see is that it won't boot into recovery. I get the green arrows, press power and up volume, some errors are reported on the screen - Cannot find /cache/recovery/command and Failed to open loopdevice, no such file or directory. The phone then restarts and boots the OS.
My question is, what should I do next to be able to receive the OTA JB update? I assume I'll need to do some combination of flashing the boot.img and recovery.img but I'm unsure what the process is, or even if my assumptions are correct? Help??
EDIT 1 : I found this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193540
I think it's what I need. I just need to read some more and find out what ROM I need to download. Can anyone advise if this is in fact what I need to do and what ROM I should be looking for?
EDIT 2 : I also found this RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
Can anyone confirm for me this is the process and the ROM I need to return to stock before I go ahead and run this?
In advance, thank you for any help/advice that's offered.
The RUU should work.
That guide is for a different phone. Check the stickies in the dev section of this forum.

Thanks for the reply BenPope. Yea, I saw the guide was for a different device, but the steps are virtually identical. I went ahead and ran the RUU. Everything flashed OK, no errors, no issues. Re-locked the bootloader. Still can't run recovery tho. Still getting the same errors. As I understand it I won't be able to get OTA updates installed if Recovery isn't working correctly. Have I got this right? Any ideas?
You're saying everything in the wrong order. Please be more clear.
To run the RUU, your hboot needs to be locked. If after the RUU you can't access recovery something went wrong and the RUU failed. What errors are you getting?

Take boot_signed.img and recovery_signed and Rom.zip from the RUU. Boot to fastboot, flash boot_signed.img and recovery.img . Boot to recovery and flash the rom.zip.

Your problem was due to flashing stock recovery AFTER relock.
Try this:
1. Unlock again.
2. Fastboot flash stock recovery.
3. Then, relock.
4. Boot your phone.
Try to update then.

I have a stupid question.
I've flashed my device with the official European JB RUU 3.14.401.27 (if i'm correct).
I've relocked my bootloader etc, and RUU update is done.
But the bootloader said it's **RELOCKED**.
Is there a way to remove that text without SuperCID?
And will it be a problem to send my device back to HTC repair center? (for the G-sensor.. )
Thanks in advance!

It's impossible to change or remove that text .
You will have to pay for repair unless you are extremely lucky.

No but there is a slight chance it could be covered by warranty since it is a hardware fault. Sorry for your loss man.

I'm going round in circles, trying to work out what I'm doing wrong.
I have hboot 0.43, and a fastboot getvar-main gives me 1.26.707.4
I presently am rooted etc and want to upgrade to JB. I have a nandroid backup of my stock rom. Hboot 0.43 means I cannot upgrade to JB hboot directly.
I restored the backup, flash the boot image from the backup, erase the cache and then flashed the stock recovery (1.29). Reboot. so far so good.
When the phone reboots it tells me there is a system update to 1.28.707.10 (31.82MB). I tell it to download and it says it will.
The problem is the speed. It's been going about 20 minutes so far and it has downloaded 0.15MB!! That's it.
I would try another method, but I can't find an RUU for my phone.
Any help appreciated.

give me a couple of minutes, il just double check which is the correct one and drop it into my FTP server.
il PM you with connection details
OK i have sorted the file you need, details have been sent in a PM.
that is the Jellybean RUU for your CID.
make sure you have a well charged battery
relock your bootloader then run that on your PC and it will bump you all the way up to stock Jellybean

running the RUU on HBOOT 0.43 should automatically update the HBOOT to 1.36, but by the sounds of it. He isnt getting that far
usually the signature fail is either because
1. Wrong RUU
2. Bootloader Still Unlocked
3. Corrupt Download
I don't think there is anything wrong with the download. I use a download manager, so it can handle disconnects.
Hboot still says 0.43
I think the problem may be that I need to update to an intermediate hboot first. So I need an RUU for Hboot 1.26 or something. Then from there I can update my hboot
I'm going to try the 1.28.707.10 RUU

going from Hboot 0.43 to 1.36 directly
Hi people, im not too familiar with the hboot part therefore wanted to ask a few questions before trying:
1. is it possible to upgrade directly from 0.43 to 1.36 with the RUU for tmob-005 from the mentioned website or do i need to do it stagewise?
2. will it this process erase the data on my SDCARD?
a quick and accurate response shall be greatly appreciated!! :good:

at 1. you said "no", as in it cant be done directly?
No it cant be done directly .... You got that right, the step to a JB hboot s to high !
In your case (from such a low hboot) it need to be done in steps
And about the direct firmware flash im not certain if it works directly but i would not risk it. There is for sure a RUU that fits your hboot. So I would go for safe and install a ruu to get back to stock and then officially ota all the way up to JB !

Just flash the correct hboot from the post that bagofcrap24 linked to : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1957376
It doesn't erase your data and is a lot easier than trying to find the correct RUU and flashing that.

Your opinion depends completely how familiar the person is with fastboot and commands :thumbup:
And btw, for such a low hboot there is definitely a RUU available
Hello,
Here´s the problem.
I have here a HTC One X, engineer model. (fully factory unlocked)
The problem is that he has 2.17.401.2 and works OK. But can´t upgrade to any version above.
As he came:
Bootloader Unlocked
Model : ENDEAVORU XC Ship S-Off RH
CID : HTC__001
Hboot - 1.12.0000
CPLD - None
MICROP - None
Radio -
eMMC-bootmode : disabled
CPU-bootmode : disabled
HW Secure boot : disabled
Modem PATH : Off
Tried to update by RUU to 3.14.401.31 (I believe it´s the latest official), but an error came along about image error.
So I manually, updated the HBoot to 1.39.0000, and the RUU update now get´s complete, but the phone restart few seconds after power on. And recovery get´s the same restart cycle.
So, I update to RUU 2.17.401.2 and everything works again.
Changed the CID to 1111111 (supercid)
Flashed again the 3.14 and now he is at this point:
Code:
C:\Fastboot>fastboot getvar all
INFOversion: 0.5a
INFOversion-bootloader: 1.39.0000
INFOversion-baseband: 5.1204.162.29
INFOversion-cpld: None
INFOversion-microp: None
INFOversion-main: 3.14.401.31
INFOserialno: HT21LWxxxxx
INFOimei: 35918xxxxxxxx
INFOproduct: endeavoru
INFOplatform: HBOOT-T30S
INFOmodelid: PJ461****
INFOcidnum: 11111111
INFObattery-status: good
INFObattery-voltage: 3873mV
INFOdevpower: 60
INFOpartition-layout: None
INFOsecurity: off
INFObuild-mode: SHIP
INFOboot-mode: FASTBOOT
INFOcommitno-bootloader: None
INFOhbootpreupdate: 2
INFOgencheckpt: 0
all: Done!
Code:
C:\Fastboot>fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 2.17.401.2
But at any time, I can downgrade to 2.17 or 1.29 and make it work.
BTW, I also tried other methods... when on 2.17, tried to update by CWM with zip file. Relocked the bootloader, unlocked it again... Tried to restore a nandroid backup from a 3.14.** working unit... but all ended in a restart loop. So always came back to 2.17 and get it working.
I think the problem in this unit remains here:
Code:
INFOmodelid: PJ461****
Should be PJ46100... or PJ4610000
If I try to write it on fastboot
Code:
fastboot oem writemid PJ46100
Command error !!!
Not sure if write model ID is supported on this unit.
Any way of writting the model id? or solve the main issue of not updating to 3.14?
Thank you
The model id was fine, what is the name of the files are you trying to flash and what command you used ?

I am not sure for engineer version, but did you try to do steps like for "normal" One x when you do RUU flash! Need to lock bootloader and in win based systems with administrator control run RUU as administrator, and with phone in fastoboot mode.. I know that's you phone have unlock bootloader and S-Off but try..
And for use of nandroid backup that you mention did you try after flashing backup flash boot.img also..

I have same problem. not able to upgrade to JB.

OTA will download the file fine and wipe the phone, then in the recovery menu (stock) it will reboot after 10 seconds of "installing".
All other RUU's or manual flashes fail and end up in a boot loop.
try to set another CID which is for exmaple from WWE so that it will download for sure the update...maybe it's due to supercid

As long as your on the right Hboot you should be ok flashing ARHD or any other Jelly Bean custom rom of your choice.
Does anybody know which changes the new hboot brings, and also, can someone who upgraded their firmware (hboot) check if they are still able to flash Sense 4+ roms?

What I do know is there is no need to update HBoot to install Sense 5 ROMs.

I know that too mate, but I'm interested in if there is any benificial changes in the new hboot, otherwise I wouldn't see the need to upgrade. On the other hand, if it is possible to flash older roms with the new hboot, then why not upgrade (don't try to talk about s-off exploits.. it's not gonna happen)

I found this post about hboot upgrade and doesn't seem quick stuff. At the moment there's not the necessity, so I think I will not upgrade.
However all JB ROM still working with the new hboot. If you try to upgrade let me know! :fingers-crossed:
So what's new then?

I have used that post to update HBOOT from 1.39 to 1.72 without any problems so far. I have not tried any old ROMs but ARHD 31 works fine.

Remember to unlock again afterwards and flash a custom recovery. This way shouldn't wipe your SD card (I've never experienced it), but backup just in case.
Sincerley I'd like to not wipe all for the third time (one to flash maximus 20, another one to flash maxiumus 21). I wish to know if there are substantial differences.

I don't feel any difference at all.. if anything WiFi has gotten worse (could be placebo). I havn't done any thorough testing though. All is fine exept WiFi. The phone is cool, battery is awesome and performance is great. I'm running InsertCoin 19.8-02.
You can backup using the HTC Backup tool, which works great.. the only thing I've had to set myself upon restoring is wallpaper, everything else works like a charm.

I haven't found anything yet. WiFi seems the same (if not a little worse). It is really hard to compare since the new rom never had time to settle on the old hboot. But I think perhaps battery has improved a little along with temperatures.. again, it is really hard to tell.
My take on this is that the difference of the two hboot is really small, regardless of the big jump in numbers. Hboot 1.39 is able to run the new roms unlike what we experienced when upgrading from Android 4.0 to 4.1, where a hboot/firmware upgrade was necessary. Let me know what you guys think
The big question for me is this one:
Does the new HBOOT allow the recovery to flash boot.img as it works on the HTC ONe ?
HTC One M8 International model FW 1.12.1540.17
Bootloader: UNLOCKED
Rooted: YES
S-OFF: YES
CID: 11111111/SuperCID
I read here that my FW should be brought up to the current revision that a ROM I'd like to run should match. I notice most ROMs run on 1.54.401.10 & 1.54.401.5.
I have been attempting to update my FW but keep running in to error 24 parsing error, due to the modelid number not matching. I was under the assumption that one, FW must match ROM, and two that if I was S-OFF and SuperCID I could flash ANY firmware. So why am I having this issue?

Is it just as simple as renaming the modelid to match that of my device, like it is to remove the recovery.img to keep TWRP? Also will this cause me to lose S-OFF? Also I've been trying to flash 1.54.401.5, I have thought about trying to flash 1.54.401.10 but not sure if FW updates are incremental updates only, since the 1.54.401.10 has a lot fewer IMG files then the 1.54.401.5.

That's more likely not an international m8. International m8 model number I'd OP6B100 and cid is HTC__001.
I'm not sure where you got your phone from, also not sure if there is any difference between firmware of these two different variants.

I got my phone from a small local carrier in Wyoming, USA. They in the past have sold "International" models, SIM Unlocked. There is no branding or anything other then HTC on the device.
Not sure where to go from here...I know HTC has OTA update for it because girlfriends HTC is on the 1.54.whatever. So I'm at a loss of what I am to do.
I'd like to update to latest firmware keeping unlocked bootloader, root, s-off, and SuperCID(Which doesn't seem to actually work?) so I can install a custom ROM based on same firmware.
This has been a little frustrating, working on this for two days now to get to where I am.

Me and the GF got the phone same place, same time, right out of the sealed brown box they were shipped in, one after another.
I am running stock ROM, and have made a NANDROID backup with TWRP. I have also made a backup of my radio. Reading another thread my model # looks like an AT&T device but my CID is definitely different, and of course it is because I'm not on AT&T.

Ok. There you go. You already have a-off, right. If you do, ota update won't put it back to s-on. I run ota while s-off and I stayed s-off. Also you do not need to relocked bootloader, but you have to have stock recovery.

LOL okay simple enough. I was concerned an OTA would wipe out all the S-OFF stuff and SuperCID. I will take the OTA update then. I see the GF's is 1.54.1540.9 which is where I assume mine will go, not 1.54.401.5 or .10 like the ROMs in the Android Development forum. These ROM's are still safe to flash?

It will update to the version that's written in the OTA notification. The last numbers of the version I.e. are just minor carrier/region differences. I believe .9 and .10 are almost identical. Maybe there is difference in radio or so.
The Roms from development forums are safe to flash now as well, they would run just fine, but I always update my to the last available just for hboot, radio.
Also don't forget that you have to flash stock recovery for ota so succeed. And also don't forget you will loose root. So after update you will need to flash stock recovery and root your Rom if you want. And of course Don't forget to make backup of your stock Rom just in case you need it again.

OP, you have the US unlocked M8, not the International one. The 'Security' in the update is to denote it's a security update and doesn't affect S-OFF at all.
If you want to change your phone to the EU unbranded handset you'll have to also change the MID but then it probably won't work on 4G properly so you're better off just updating with the build you have now

Thank you so much for this information. I take it when you say unlocked, you mean carrier unlocked, as the bootloader was locked.
How do I apply the OTA FW update to the device? Seems like a silly question, but when I follow along it boots straight to TWRP where it won't flash. Am I to flash this zip in ADB? Confused now
