So here is a question that I cannot find the answer to. If a ROM like Android Revolution HD is based off the 1.29.401.12 Firmware and I have a 1.29.707.11 based phone, can I install the ROM? I know I would have to unlock and install a custom recovery, but is it possible? I ask because I thought I read somewhere you cant mix firmware updates (ie x.xx.401.xx and x.xx.707.xx) without S-Off or it would cause problems.
Thanks in advance!!

There should be no problem to install latest ARHD ROM. I did it many times coming from stock with different numbers. Any way most of your stock files are reflashed by ROM files. ARHD is universal ROM for any HOX Internatioanal versions.
Since you are replacing the whole firmware, the version of the one you are replacing should not matter.
However, make sure that the new ROM has support for your specific hardware!

Thanks, I shall try the ROM this weekend or next!!
Hi.
I really need help to find a way to downgrade my hboot ! I read a lot for downgrade hboot on Htc evo 3d.
But are there no methods who works to downgrade one x hboot?
i really want so bad to downgrade my hboot back to 1.12, now 1.31 ! Thanks
Unless you have S-OFF it can't be done
No,you cant
In guessing you want to downgrade because you want to run CM10? Or AOKP

Yes, thats my case. I want to go back to CM10 and AOKP roms. There are not many good roms who support the 1.31 hboot yet.
I tryied the PA rom based on cm10, dosnt work with hboot 1.31. The only roms who works are Android revolutions hd, cm10_endeavoru-ota-eng.noeri with working gps, wifi.
i dont want stock sense rom, i want a good custom rom, clean rom.
Is there a way to do this with s-off? Any guides who may work on htc one x?
Super thanks!

you simply can't... no S-OFF no downgrade... S-OFF is not possible for now
Because my phone is f*cked up, maybe I'll try to downgrade to H-BOOT 0.95 soon. And what happened? The screen is not pretty much of the time, sometimes it doesn't work, only softbuttons are light up.
THERE IS A WAY TO INSTALL EVERY AOSP Rom available there
at CyanogenMOD 10 "SE" you will havw link for a kernel to run CM10-SE , you can use this kernel for ever AOSP out there to make it run on your HTC One X , you need to follow these steps
1- Flash any AOSP from from Recovery as usual after wiping for sure
2- Dont reboot and use that provided kernel and flash it also inside recovery
3- Reboot into bootloader FastBoot and flash the boot.img inside there kernel as its called "boot_1.23_1.28_hboot_v1.0 " you can rename it as boot.img for easier installing as that for newer hboots and its compaitable with CM10-SE kernel which at this point compaitable with the kernel you have just flashed
but as it indicated it dosent have a functional GPS
with these steps I have been able to try all AOSP Roms
If you need to get the GPS running you may like to try the same above steps using TripNRaVeR flashable kernel zip
I hope that would help you

sounds good, but on the one hand you have no working gps and on the other hand you got random reboots with the TripNRaVeR Kernel.
We just need that damn S-Off

but since they have managed to find the way to get the gps back for the new hboots at TripNRaVeR Kernel ,im sure it will be available also for other kernels in anytime soon , , so let us wait and cross our fingers here , lucky me I have never needed the GPS here at my country
Well.. we all who have the 1.31 hboot needs to wait for a good performance and batterylife rom.
I really love vanilla rom = With out sense !
I dont know why but on the CM10 or AOKP roms all games working smoothless, buttersmooth! But with all sense roms, you get framedrops and sometimes slow. Why? i dont know why, even with jelly bean sense roms.
That is the diffrence of sense roms and CM10 graficperformance? Are there a way to go for another kernel on jellybean sense rom?
Thanks, hope for a good answer
I have the same problem, i flashed the Renovate rom and used the remove sense launcher and install themed framwork option to get rid of rosie and the ugly notification center... I use it in combination with Nova Launcher, and i must say, i like it!
You still have the default sense apps like music, mail etc, but i prefer them above the aosp variants so thats no problem for me

It seems they will downgrade(probably S-OFF then S-ON after downgrade) the hboot in the process.(And maybe if you're lucky they forget to S-ON )

Hello,
Since i don't have 10 posts yet and can't post this in the original thread i'm asking it here.
I'm using the Domination CM10 ROM and i'm on hboot version 0.94.
Should i upgrade to another version or is it wise to stay?
And if i should upgrade, what are the best steps to take?
I know how to flash roms and boot, however i'm not sure how to upgrade hboot.
Thanks
Stay. Support for JB HBoots is sketchy until the JB kernel source code is released.

+1, Yes don't update, updating will cause nothing but harm for a non-sense rom.
Hello guys,
i'm an owner of HTC one M8, with unlocked bootloader from htcdev but with S-ON.
I just want to go back to stock rom, because every custom rom i try has some issues (battery life mainly too short! I dont know if this is because of firmware, i
dont know how to update it or even how to see what is my one now).
But, the only guides i see are with S-OFF devices. Is this possible to to it with s-on?
Also, i would be s-off if there is a still working method, i've seen firewater one doesnt work anymore so there are no other solutions.
EDIT: at least guys, can you tell me how to check and/or update my firmware?
You post this on wrong section .. should be in Q&A ... I'm asking a mod to move this thread to Q&A
Read this thread, it is for both S-On and S-Off to get back to stock - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
First thing to check is fastboot getvar all result (delete serial & imei no.) then we will know what you need to do
Try MIUI7 rom

listen you can try MIUI based rom for htc it have great battery backup compare to the other marshmallow based roms,
so you first try miui rom(4.4.4) for htc , it have some bugs like google text to speech isnt working but battery backup is awesome. rom is stable though. and you cannot rollback to stock using ruu when your device is S-ON , use sunshine for S-OFF, lol pay $25

Ok i would like to not pay lel.
THE PROBLEM in using custom roms is, i think, the firmware, because i just flashed trough fastboot the roms, without updating any firmware.
I tryed Android revolution HD and Skydragon but booth had battery problems, i mean the battery was going down too quickly also with screen off (from stats, in 6 hours i say 3 hours deep sleep, 3 hours 300 mhz cpu so it didnt "relax"!
I really want top say thanks to ckpv5 that helped me in PM's and linked me his own guide to restore to stock rom, it worked and it's all perfect! Thanks man!
Just a last question: now i have the stock htc one rom, so i'm doing OTA's. This means my firmware is automatically updated with them?
So if in future i want to install a custom rom MM based, i won't need to flash firmware?
Yes firmware is updated with the OTA .. after the latest OTA 6.12.401.4, you can install latest TWRP and install MM custom ROMs .. no need firmware update anymore
Very well, thanks mate.
for the moment i'll leave the stock rom.
I will use a MM custom rom when they will be based on official MM rom for htc one m8, and not porting from M9/A9

There have been MM based Sense custom ROMs since before the new year (Viper, Skydragon Sense, Wolla, ARHD).
S.ROM is the only A9 port.
