Develop Bugs

Finally have the update, but can not install it ...help please.

As the title states, I finally got the prompt to do an update for phone, from Orange, but when I set it to install it, it reboots and says failed.
I think it is due to me having CWM on the phone, so it cannot do a clean restart, how do I get passed this, if anyone has a How To for this please help me, also will I be able to save all the apps, messages, contacts and settings on the phone.I have stock Rom on phone.
All and any help much appreciated in advance.

Duh! You need stock recovery. You need to unlock your phone again and flash stock recovery with this command
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Relock and try again

Hi there, I am already unlocked, so do I have to Lock it again, then flash stock Rom.
Will I have to lose my apps and settings.
Sorry for the noob questions, but this phone is new to me so I don't know the correct way.
Seems a bit over the top to start off with Duhh, just because I don't know, so therefore I need to ask to know, I am a brainy person, but still I would rather ask for the right way rather than guess and brick my £400.00 phone.
Thankyou for your reply, but I still need help on this.

Sorry. Well you need to have stock rom as well as recovery. Once you have both you have to relock your phone and try to update again

You do not need to relock to apply ota update. Just have the stock recovery and then try again. There are links to the stock recoveries of different versions in the cwm sticky

All done Update installed, but I did do a backup of things, but when I got things back up and running again, it did not save my maps and such, I work as a mobile care support person, so the maps were important to me, so I wil have to find a better way to do things.
I also had to try to remember usernames and passwords, I never write any down. but its a shame that an image of phone, os and everything can not be done, so as not to have to put them in again, so that everything works straight off the bat.
Thanks for any and all advice, great forum here and alot of very helpful people.

thanks in advance

Boot Loop After Rooting

Hey Everyone!
I've been trying to fix this problem for hours with no luck, and while I've found solutions that have worked for others I can't find one that is specific enough to my situation.
So I just got an HTC One X that is locked to Rogers today from Kijiji, and I love it - great phone. The thing I didn't like was the hoard of stock apps that took up about four pages on the app drawer, so I thought hey, I'll root it and delete them. I didn't have any intention of using any custom ROMs, just wanted superuser permission to delete stock apps. Unlocking went fine (finding the token and what not using the app I found on here), and the rooting seemed to go alright until it turned off and didn't start again. I pulled out the cable from the computer and now things are weird..
I can sometimes get into the hboot, but when I try to just start the phone normally it goes to the HTC splash screen and has red writing telling me "this build is for development purposes only", etc etc. I really wanted to get rid of those stock apps but at this point I just want my phone working again. Am I screwed?
Thanks in advance.

Re:
Little update: I just figured out how to re-lock it assuming that might make my factory reset work.. it didn't.

Try here.
You may be in the wrong forum, this is for Tegra3 One X. I'm not sure though so don't quote me on it.

Re:
Hmm I didn't see a Rogers specific one so I wasn't sure. As for the link you posted it might have worked but a don't have a TWRP backup? I didn't think it was necessary to make a backup as I wasn't even trying to flash a custom ROM, just get myself superuser permission.

You haven't bricked your HOX yet. I would look into getting a recovery on to it, from there you'll be able to flash a RUU to get back to where you started. Make sure you get the right instructions for your phone though.
You might get some info here

Re:
Thanks! I'm trying to find the RUU for my phone. I've found the one for the AT&T version with LTE, but mine is the one without it. Will the same RUU work? Thanks

Don't flash anything from here!! You are in the wrong forum m8!
This is the correct forum for you : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538

AHH thanks! I just thought the XL one was for the LTE model?

Pissed Off Desire HD

Hi everybody, I was thinking whether to open new "story" or not and I thought I can do it by myself..but..I did everything I could, I have read hundreds of forums..some things totally confused me and some simply I don't understand..so however I decided to open new thread because I really need professional help here.
Here is the story,
I've bought used HTC DHD before two days with an custom rom android 4.2.2 but WI-FI not worked and also camera not worked very well (when I take a shot phone turns off). i have tried few roms in hope that will fix the problem (PACman v23, CM10.1 and JT 4.2.2 - and still on JT) but nothing. In bootloader says Unlocked but security is damn ON. So, I worked two whole fckin day without success. I have tried many tools, guides etc but it simply won't make S-OFF. Also I've tried to flash to few stock RUU roms to do a downgrade but every time when try I'm getting some errors (140, 150, 170 or even unknown error xD). I really don't know what to do anymore and because I'm pissed off I came here. I love this phone and I won't sell it third day already. I gave last money for this smartphone..I won't money back..I won't new phone..I just want this to be working device. On pic you can see what I already tried..
So please, be patient and take your time to solve this **** together.

Come on guys, I know this can be fixed. I need just little of your time. and thank you very much in advance.

NO idea why you so desperately want S-OFF in the first place as you can flash custom ROMS without it and there is no other way you can fix wifi on software level (so most probably it's a hardware problem), but anyone have access to search in the upper right corner if you wish.
As for the phone shutting down when taking photos, it's a common problem and is thought to be related to aging battery, but you have a great chance of fixing(compensating) it by increasing CPU voltage a couple of notches. Install CPU Master and increase the mV of corresponding maximum frequency used, it should be 1Ghz to look at if not overclocked, try to increse it by 50mV

You are unlocked and still s-on so, as with every one who has issues like yours, you need to flash the boot.IMG via fastboot from the ROM you want to install, after you've installed the rom.
I suggest switching to SVHD by mygamers, every thing works, its super smooth and is great on battery too.
P.s. unless you REALLY really need the advanced functions of s-off, I wouldn't worry to much about it.
"Some" advantages to unlocked bootloader and s-off are:
Flash new Roms direct with out having to flash boot.img
Restore nandroids that are different from current installed rom easier
Flash radios
Change splash screen (you may only see it when you turn on phone, but it can be awesome thing to show off a bit)

First, why do you need S-Off? You can flash ROMs without S-Off, and S-Off won't fix your WiFi problems. It's not clear whether you're successfully flashing ROMs right now, but you can. You do need to flash the ROM zip's boot.img from fastboot each time after you flash s ROM from recovery.
Second, please bump a thread only once every 24 hours per the forum rules.

It's pretty damn clear that he have tried other ROMS.

But he finishes that line with "but nothing." Given the number of "flash the boot.img" posts I've had to write lately, I was wondering if that meant he managed to get them to boot or not.

Sorry guys that I did't mentioned before but mainly what I want to do is to bring back stock rom but I can't..someone said that I need S-OFF for that, I heard that when you flash stock rom can fix wi-fi and camera and then if you want can install new custom rom after. About damaged hardware, everything is possible. I was in service shop and guy there said that hardware is modem in essence that controling wi-fi, GSM, bluetooth and GPS. Maybe I understood him wrong. But my BL and GSM working just fine. I have to try new step-by-step tutorial, I'll be back soon.

You don't need to get S-Off. Just relock your bootloader with fastboot and run the RUU executable from your computer while the phone's connected to it.

OK, let's clear this. Every rom I've tried worked but wi-fi not again, camera is little stable in JT 4.2.2. Only rom that not worked was JT 4.3 beta 3. Installed very well but when it boots it stays on splash screen forever.

OK, I'll try it..

Locked bootloader as you said, started exe from PC and I got error 131 "CUSTOMER ID ERROR"..what's that??

You need to find a RUU compatible with your phone's region.

How can I know that man, when I try to flash RUU it says "would you like to update from 3.13.000 to 3.13.405.12"..something like that..Ive already tried two stock roms.
Edit: I've tried WWE and ARA RUUs, do I need to try US and UK versions too??

You could make a goldcard to run any RUU, or you could try the US or UK RUUs.

Excuse me, but its "pretty damn clear" that only jellybean roms have been tried!
Why are you getting so agro (agrovated for non Aussie readers)) at the mention of trying to use something other than jellybean?

Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

umm if your stuck on splash screen you haven't flashed the kernel. Extract the zip, then place the boot.img into your adb folder. Reboot your phone into hboot then fastboot. Now go to your adb folder type in fastboot flash boot boot.img from cmd.
If that doesn't work to achieve s-off on newer versions of android is 1) Make a goldcard 2) Downgrade with a ruu 3) Get root exploit 4) Get s-off exploit (This was back in 2010 so I don't know if the procedure changed but I s-offed with this. It's probably easier since its 2013:silly
For future reference, Unlocked bootloader means the boot.img is restricted from recovery YOU need to flash kernels via fastboot with Unlocked Bootloader, S-OFF means nothing is restricted apart from splash image, ENG-Soff is engineering mode is same as s-off but with a Eng tag and splash screen is changeable.

First of all there was no any hate nor any of this "agro" of yours lol.
Secondly, none of the mentioned JB ROMS have wifi issues, so there is really no point in wasting time and trying every available ROM.
Cheers and I hope you now got it, we all learn from our mistakes, don't beat yourself up too much. :laugh:

Thanks dude, I'll try it. I have GC tool but problem is this site revskills are down and can't get .img file. Any alternative for this?

[Q] Help out a new guy?

Hi.
I am very new to the world of rooting and all that stuff, in fact, I have never even attempted to root any of my phones. I currently own HTC One X (International version) which is running the newest Sense 5 Android 4.2.2. update. I tried to follow some youtube videos on how to root my One X but they are all a year old at least and are demonstrated on the stock version of Sense that was on my One X when I got it.. Now I know I am a huge noob at this but I would just like to ask if somebody can guide me trough or at least give me a link to some kind of guide/tutorial which will work on the newest update for my One X. I am very cautious because I don't want to harm my phone by doing something stupid or wrong. Anyways, hope somebody can spare a minute and help me out. And also thanks for taking the time to read my post!

So this works for Sense 5 update? Does it even matter which version I am running on my phone for rooting?

Things are starting to get a little bit more clear now. I managed to unlock the bootloader so far. Before I go any further, is there anything I should look out for, what could go wrong? I've read that if I mess something up I could brick my phone, how can I avoid that? Also, thanks a lot for helping me out!

after you unlocked the bootloader flash custom recovery. then do a nandroid backup. then flash supersu/superuser then do nandroid backup again. you now have 2 backups of stock rom and stock rom(rooted) and when you flash custom rom make a backup again. eat will eat up space in storage but its better be safe.
