How to RUU Asian HOX

Guys i got my hox from india and it is running 1.28 and just now i rooted my phone and unlocked bootloader.
Now i want to install some custom rom and then want to update to 1.29 as htc doesnt send 1.29 to our country i like to manually update. How to do?

You won't be able to use an official 1.29 until HTC push it to your existing version. You can use custom ROMs based on 1.29 though

[Q] Help updating the firmware HTC_621 CID Taiwanese version.

Hey all. This happens to be my first ever post, I however have been using XDA-forums for years now so I am not new.
I currently own an HOX imported from Taiwan im guessing since its HTC_621 CID.
I've been running Insert Coins roms for the last 4 months and am currently stuck on 9.7.0 (last ICS build)
Obviously just downloading the latest 11.5 build from BAADNEWZ (Insert Coin Dev) then flash the boot.img file through fastboot will NOT work.
Im still on old HBOOT- 0.95.0000.
1. How do I succesfully flash the firmware and make it say HBOOT 3.1?
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip doesnt work when im in fastboot mode and even after the fastboot oem rebootRUU. I get the error adopting the signature contained in this image FAILED <remote:99 unknown fail>
Can anyone shed some light on this, I must have missed something somewhere.
Cheers

Check if your cid is compatible (search) and follow guides !
There is enough to find in your case !
Otherwise go back to stock and wait for the official update !

My CID is part of the first wave of updates last week, I know its compatible, my Hboot is refusing to update though. Can someone help me update my firmware? maybe there are a few different firmwares for the CID HTC_621?

Why not wait for the official update. If you brick you're phone while updating there is no way back !
Is ics not good enough anymore ?

The update is for 2.17.709
I'm led to beleive you can flash that RUU to convert from chungwha to unbranded, and then you might get the OTA or at least be able to.m flash it manually.

So you're suggesting I should update via RUU irrelevant of my CID? Where might one find this RUU that is compatible with my version number?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Hmm is that possible ? I thought it was only possible with S-OFF to flash other RUU's with different CID's to go from branded to unbranded phone.
Or am i confused in this matter ?

No, the CIDs are the same, as far as I know.

Well I took the plunge and relocked the bootloader rebooted into RUU mode, and then and only then would it let me flash the firmware.zip. Im now running the correct upto date Hboot :victory:

[Q] How to proceed for official JB update?

Hi..
I have just bought a new HOX with 4.0.4 and sense 4.1 build no. 2.17, CID HTC__038 INDIA.
My Question is if i unlock BL, get CWM recovery and Root it now what will be the preparations i have to do for getting OTA OFFICIAL JB Update, which is expected in recent time.
Will i need to unroot it and relock BL or anything like that.
Another thing if i get a Custom JB rom from XDA, what will i need to do in that case.
Any Help is Appreciated.
Sorry for being NooB but just got the device and not knowing much about it, tried searching but nothing relevant found in HOX forum.

1- to get the OTAs you need to be on stock, so you will need to run a RUU and flash stock boot.img and stock recovery
2- to install JB custom roms you will need to upgrade your firmware to HBOOT 1.28/1.31 and then you can flash pretty much every JB rom

Stock
And what if is everything stock except unlocked bootloader??

In this situation you are able to receive and install official OTA's.
Stock boot.img
Stock rom
Stock recovery
Unlocked bootloader
In this way it's possible

So, if i flash a Custom JB now, i will have to get back to stock rom using RUU (with locked/unlocked BL), if i want OTA update.
Is that right..?

Thanks. I've rooted phone two months ago and retun it to stock just like you said, with a nandroid backup, stock and recovery flashed from the exact same backup. Found that somewhere. I've asked that question because my friend told me that update wont work with unlocked bootloader.

If you update your hboot and flash a custom JB rom you are stuck with that until a JB RUU is released. There is none at the moment
If you want to do a official JB OTA you have to get back to stock
1 or with a RUU
2 the method i posted before
Update with pc ?
My advice at this moment is to stay on stock (run it for a while and see there are no problems with the device) wait for the official JB update and start rooting and installing a custom rom after that. Until then you can read and learn more and more about flashing and rooting

Sorry to jump in on your thread, i've updated my HBOOT to the lastest version and flashed a custom JB i wish to return to stock so i can sell the phone. Can i flash an ICS RUU that matches my CID to return it to stock or so i have to wait for a JB RUU to appear?
I tried following that guide down the page but the download link for the "custom RUU" is dead.

No you can not. Downgrading a hboot with a ruu is (still) impossible. Phone has to be s-off. You are stuck on a custom rom until a JB ruu is released

[Q] Jelly Bean Custom ROM and reverting back to STOCK Rom

Hi,
I've installed the Maximus ROM and it's cool.
I know that now I can't return to the Stock Rom just because I can't downgrade the HBoot.
But...when Jelly Bean stock rom will be release for every HOX devices, will I be able to lock the bootloader and install the official Jelly Bean update?
Thanks for your answers

yes when a RUU is released for JB you would be able to install it
When you get a stock backup with stock recovery and boot.img you can get official OTA's for JB
Relocking of the bootloader is not necessarily needed in the last option.

You need stock recovery as well as ruu to get ota's? I'm on android version 4.03 as u just installed stock ruu for my device. Is there an official update to 4.04 yet? If I put the stock revcovery on as well as I still have cwm installed will I get the ota?

you need also stock recovery to install the official OTAs, but if you install that you will lose CWM recovery

Install WorldWide RUU on a HTC One X from China

Hi, I am really sorry to post such a simple and maybe common question, I just CANNOT find a straight answer.
I have a HTC ONE X 32GB (WW version) I got from China.
I checked the version of the Ruu and it says 1.29.708.9 (HK Ruu)
And the bootloader was unlocked, so i locked it.
I want to return to Stock Ruu cause I cannot update the official version.
I have 2 questions:
1. I am from Israel, so when I return to stock RUU, should i install the HK version like the one that WAS on my phone, or a different one??
-Can I install a different Ruu or it will screw my phone?
2. If i update to the HK Ruu which was originally on my phone, will i get a specific update dedicated to the Ruu or a general one from HTC?, I just want it to be "worldwide" and not really blocked to any updates.
Thanks, sorry for the mess.

Hey there... well as a matter of fact any other RUU will NOT work. You have to get the appropriate RUU for your phone depending on where it is from...
This will NOT block any updates, it's just for languages and local stuff specific for that region, but technically it won't be any different from any other One X.
Also there is no international RUU... every phone MUST have a specific region yours is China and that doesn't make it any different or change anything whatsoever.
Edit : Here is the link to the HK Jellybean RUU http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/sec...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_299865_signed.exe
Follow the steps on the RUU help threads if you're new to this... This RUU will give you the latest major update. Any other official updates should roll out to you as long as you have the official recovery. If you want the WWE you can get a custom ROM that has it but I doubt that you can get it officially. Good luck with this
I hope I helped

Hi, if you are in ICS, go to stock .
Means you need to restore a stock nandroid back up and its boot img . Then flash stock recovery, and last re lock bootloader. Why? To get official ota manually.

I'm not quite sure what is the Rom i am currently using, it looks like a stock rom that China folks changed to fit in their stupid little programs.
Why do I need to do all that stuff you said?, can't i just install the stock rom like Waseem said?

If your hox is jellybean , yes, there some roms stock look, also i can make you one with no modifications or tweaks...but....if your firmware is ICS, you need to update, and for that i recommend you to update via ota.
Whatever you need or want,i can help you

Hey I appreciate it, but I simply want to make my HOX fresh and clean from bull that was installed by Chinese folks and get a stock rom that updates by itself.
I downloaded Waseems RUU which he said was the latest for my version of HOX.
I already made my bootloader "Relocked" because it said to do so on some guide.
Now, Do i need to flash stock recovery? or just install the RUU?
Sorry i'm a bid confused.
This is my machine:
Android 4.0.3
Software #: 1.29.708.9
HTC SDK API LEVEL: HTCExtension_403_1_GA_7
Please give me some quick advise, this shouldn't be too hard, but it messes with my head.
Also, do I need to make some sort of cleaning to my phone before installing the RUU?, or the RUU installations does it by itself?

You need ICS latest ruu for our firmware. Cant install JB over ICS.

What is JB?
I have the latest RUU which Waseem posted earlier. But do I need to install dtock recovery for it? Or somehow clean my device before installing the RUU?

What he means is that you can NOT install a 3.14 based ruu, you need to install a 1.29 or a 2.17 ruu. The hboot difference is to big !
Edit :
Download this one
http://bugsylawson.com/index.php/fi...89-radio-1120410414-release-259897-signedexe/
Relock the bootloader if its unlocked and execute the ruu with admin rights. This will bring the phone to full factory stock. Note that it will wipe EVERYTHING !
After the ruu you reboot and do all the official ota's you can get....

Holy cow.. now I get it. The Ruu Waseen gave me is jellybean (jb) .
Ok cool thanks.
But still. How do I determine if i need to install stock recovery before installing ICS stock ruu?
Because I accidently Relocked the hboot before flashing the stock recovery.
Also, all links to stock ruus are broken, wherecan I download ICS stock Ruu?
I seriously appreciate your help guys

Mr Hofs sir. I thank you kindly. )

You only need to install the 1.29 ruu with admin rights and a relocked bootloader. It will flash it all back. Then do official ota to the 2.17 software....etc etc....until you cant go higher anymore. Latest software should be at least 3.14 ...

Hey sorry I thought you had the JB Hboot... here is the 1.29 RUU for HK http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/sec...Radio_2.1204.122.17_release_268338_signed.exe
flash it and it should restore the stock ICS software to your HOX. then go to Settings > About > Software updates and you should then get the official JB update which will update your Hboot, Radio and ROM to the JB base 3.x
I forgot if you have to flash the stock recovey and re-lock before flashing stock RUU but I don't think you do. I guess if you flash the RUU it should relock your phone and flash stock recovery and boot.img by itself But please to be safe just make sure this is true.

A ruu does not lock the bootloader, you have to do that yourself. The only thing a ruu does is flash back the stock recovery,boot.img and software.
You relock the bootloader in fastboot mode
Fastboot oem lock
Keep the phone in the bootloader and right click on the ruu and select
Run as administrator
Edit....the first ota you will get is the ics 2.17 software, then you will get a small update and after that you get the 3.14 jellybean update. You do not get the jellybean instantly.....

I did everything you said, now i have a different problem
I cannot open the RUU file you told me to download (the installer).
I had that problem on my other PC and then downloaded JAVA and it worked.
On this laptop I downloaded java, and it still doesn't load the installer.
It opens a COMMAND windows, and closes it. nothing happens.
I run it as admin and verything.
I am using Windows 7 32bit :\
