[Q] quick Hboot question

just a quick question,
I am trying to update my GF hox to a new jelly bean rom and I havent dont it in a while and people are mentioning upgrading the hboot.
She has hboot 0.94 so which hboot should I upgrade to?
is it just a matter of flashing the RUU specific to her phone (3 uk)?
cheers!

would really like a quick answer as im stuck on "HTC one X beats audio" screen

After looking here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2009525 it looks as though the jelly bean RUU for 3 UK has not yet been released.
So your best bet would be to flash an ics RUU and wait for the official jelly bean OTA update to come through on the phone. You can try a H3G UK RUU from here http://www.htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor ,but make sure to check what your main
version is using fastboot getvar version-main to see which RUU is the one you need.
You can't update the hboot until the firmware for your CID has been released.
I hope this helps.

What is the error code the RUU is giving? And if the bootloader is unlocked, try locking it and running the RUU again.
Does the fastboot getvar version-main command give you the number with .771 in it?
EDIT: Also, you need to flash a stock recovery if you don't already have one. You can get one from here http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=endeavoru_recovery_signed.img and rename it to recovery.img and then flash it through fastboot using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. But this has to be done before locking the bootloader.

hi thanks! it was because it was still unlocked
now i just have to find a decent ROM that is compatible!

All custom ROMs except those that run jellybean with HTC sense will work fine.
Any jellybean that are based on aosp, aokp or cm10 will work

Confused about Jelly Bean Update.

Hi.
My wife has a HTC one x, which I have upgraded a few months back with ARHD v9.4
Its a vodafone australia HTC one x.
cid: vodap021
hboot: 043
I would like to update it to a curreny Jelly Bean Rom. What is the process for me. In the ARHD Jellybean instructions, it says not to flash if your CID is not on the list,( and my vodafone CID is not).
I also notice Vodafone Australia has released a JB upgrade (which I cant install OTA because I have ARHD..)
So my question really is..
1. Can I install the latest ARHD.. if so how., then If not..
2. How do I go about reverting to stock so I can install the Vodafone Australia Jellybean update? - which as I understand is available OTA.
Thanks for any help.

Do a fastboot command
Fastboot getvar version-main
My guess it will match this number
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260561_signed.exe
Only your main version will probably start with 1.26 or 1.28. If so you can run this ruu
Put the phone in the fastboot usb mode and lock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
Then keep the phone in fastboot usb mode with the locked bootloader and right click the RUU and select run as admin !
Tip : backup the sdcard and charge the batt to full before starting !

hi.
I have run the command.
Fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 1.26.862.3
still confused on what to do from here.
Do I have to go back to stock Vodafone ROM first so I can do OTA jellybean, or can I flash straight to ARHD Jellybean.
Thanks.

You need to update your firmware. You can flash it directly, or you can return to stock and get OTA.

Run the ruu and afterwards update the phone, when all the updating is done and you are on JB, unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and make a NANDROID BACKUP ! After that you can start flashing JB roms.
And copy the stock rom backup to your pc, you might need it to have future updates

HTC one X mainver 4.78.61.6 ICS.. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have an HTC one x that i bought has been rooted, on aftermarket software. Mainver is 4.78.61.6.. i am trying to return to stock.
I cant install RUU as the RUU available is ICS and can not downgrade as mainver is too high, nor can i obtain a JB RUU as a telecom nz JB ruu does not exist.
I have tried everything and searched fourms for months.
flashing ruu / firmware.zip or rom.zip always comes back with an error, signature error or mainver error. from what i can tell this mainver does not exist anywhere in the world it is FAR too high to even upgrade to any existing JB stock software.
i tried extracting rom.zip from telecom nz ics firmware and matching the mainver to be the same is the only way to return to stock using customRUU or ruu flash tool... BUT when it updates to the 4th or 5th update (system update just bofore the JB update) it freezes on boot, and does lots of weird things suck as booting into recovery / ruu / fastboot.
i have tried flashing telnz001 nandroid backup of ICS (JB not available)
everything is returned to factory spec when i do this, relocked, stock recovery etc
its on an older version of hboot (the one included in stock telnz001)
Cant upgrade hboot.
tried misc tool to change mainver to 1.00.00.0 BUT IT DOESNT WORK.
ALL that will run on it is a aftermarket rom.
IS there any other way to change the mainver?
would a nandroid backup of JB on telnz001 work?
why would it fail or play up on upgrades OTA ( mainver is NEWER than the OTA updates )
really need to return to stock and upgrade to JB
thanks

The Main version is reading 3.27.000.0 now after installing latest carbon 4.2.2 if this helps any

You need the main version that comes out with fastboot command.
Fastboot getvar version-main
The main number on a custom rom doesn't say anything. When you flash a wwe rom it will change to something like 3.14.401 or 2.17.401 for example.
You need the main version that is embedded in the hboot version.
Do the fastboot command and check if its the same number as stated in the opening post. If its different it might be useful

Yeh I have looked and cannot find anything either any ruu I use gets to around 80% then crashes with wrong boot error , they are the Telecom ones.Frustrating as well .

Mainver is higher than any mainver that exists for htc one.
I found out the androidinfo.txt in a zip file was updated in attempt to roll back software to ICS.
so basically i have two questions,
Is there ANY possible way to downgrade mainver. I have tried misc tool and cannot get it to work.
My other question is does anyone have a nandroid backup of JB for CID TELNZ001
and if i can get the backup all i need to do is upgrade the hboot. which i have also tried and have not been able to achieve.
Could someone please upload a backup image for cwm of JB TELNZ001 with updates included. and hboot file.
Or a firmware.zip with JB system, hboot, boot and recovery for TELNZ001.
thanks =]

im afraid there is nothing you can do...
if your hboot doesn't support JB you're out of luck
except hope that when sense 5 arrives it, comes with a higher main ver

Thing is. . I can update hboot.i have telnz001 hboot 1.39 i think. from memory. i just need to flash it. but i need the nandroid backup

You have hboot 1.12 that's a ics hboot, not a JB hboot.

i like how thats from a different username.. i didnt write that lol
my username is misterr.mann
I wrote that i had a ics hboot im not denying that, the part you missed was i have the 1.39 hboot for jb, which i can flash and am flashing right this second, although its not going to help me as it fails on OTA update, so what im saying is once im on hboot 1.39 ill still have that EXACT same issue, as my main ver is higher than any one that exists it wont ota update. so once hboot 1.39 is on all i will need is nandroid backup of JB telnz001, literally all i asked for was this nandroid backup rom.zip or firmware.zip

My mistake :thumbdown:

Okay so my HTC one is reverted completly back to stock (used custom ruu with system.img boot.img androiinfo.text etc)
I had to edit android txt file to MATCH my existing mainver.
After 2.17 update phone boots, gets to o lock ring, and reboots. does this constantly... non stop. my main ver is still higher then cicomming update mainver is still 3.78
i have a file for OTA update zip
file name:
OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_Telecom_NZ_WWE_3.17.781.2-2.17.781.3_release_304681lsq8o9k2p8n4minf.zip
now there is no RUU for JB
My question is how can i install this update, i still have hboot for ics 1.12.0000
contents in OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_Telecom_NZ_WWE_3.17.781.2-2.17.781.3_release_304681lsq8o9k2p8n4minf
contains firmware.zip with hboot 1.39
so i can extract hboot file
i can fully extract the entire firmware.zip contained in the OTA update.
But am having issues flashing through fastboot, and in RUU mode it comes back 99 unknown error
Im stuck between a rock and a hard place as both options for update fail
i tried creating a firmware.zip containing android txt file with my current mainver hboot 1.39 boot.img and recovery.img
yet this update fails.
any help would be appreicated thanks

[Q] Stuck on HBOOT 0.94 with no way to upgrade?

I got my O2UK HOX back in May '12, flashed it immediately and haven't touched the stock ROM since. I've gone to upgrade to a new ROM, and I seem to be stuck because my HBOOT is 0.94. The worst part? The only RUU I can find for O2UK devices is 1.26.206.2, which contains/requires HBOOT 0.43, so I get an error when trying to apply it.
Am I screwed?
Current situation:
Non-booting ROM (can't get any current ROM to boot at all, regardless of kernel)
Stock kernel from 1.26 currently flashed
HBOOT 0.94
RUU returns an error relating to the bootloader
Bootloader re-locked
Stock recovery

can you provice your cid ?

[Q] HOX freezes on boot (both on custom and stock roms)

Hi to all
well, to keep this short, hox tegra on orange uk (cid orang001) so it's still s-on, unlocked the bootloader using hasoon2000's thread and tool (great piece of work btw, thank you), installed twrp, then installed android revolution JB, after wich the phone got stuck freezing during the htc logo at boot
tried to revert back to stock, freezing on boot still, one of the problems is I can't update the hboot- fastboot oem lock, fastboot flash zip etc. sends back an "failed to write, no permission" error and I'm not sure I understand how to flash a RUU from the recovery or fastboot
hboot is 1.12 still and radio is 2.1204.105.14
some advice as to where I have gone wrong is much appreciated, thank you

Do these commands in order to update the hboot:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (repeat this command until it succeeds)
Then you should be able to unlock the boot loader, flash twrp and flash the boot.img of arhd.

Thanks for helping me out, okay so on rebootRUU command the phone shows a black screen with htc in silver, that's the mode for installing RUU's am I correct and while in this mode I tried to push the hboot file but it says (remote: 12 signature verify fail), I suppose the stock recovery that I tried is not good enough, at this point I'm a bit lost in the heap of files, would you mind directing me to a recovery I could use?

Correct. It doesn't matter at all which recovery you have... the problem must be your fimware file. Did you take the right one based on your CID?

like I said I got lost in the myriad of files)) okay so I followed your thread "[INFO] Where to acquire EndeavorU RUUs" and I'm currently downloading RUU's from Android Files, there's three of'em for orang001 and I've tried installing the newest but it said that the bootloader version doesn't match, oh, and now my radio is 5.1204.162.29 can I just try running the two left RUU's and see what happens?

It must match
fastboot getvar version-main
Also, you must relock the boot loader before running a RUU (fastboot oem lock)
Sent from my IceCold One X

okay, the bootloader was relocked, problem was RUU version, mine is 2.17.61.3 and I can't find a RUU of that version anywhere, there's a nandroid backup link but it's down I've searched for a "re-upped" post but couldn't find that either. guess "today is not a good day for science"

RUU/nandroid unavailable. Firmware.zip is your only chance.
What happens if you try to flash it? It should say OKAY after 2-3 tries.

Saved my life, thank you so much!
So I got it back to stock with hboot 1.36 and radio 5.1204 and also I suppose it's a JB now as opposed to Ice Cream before?
Now if I unlock it, flash twrp and nandroid bkup I should be able to flash it with ARHD 21 JB?
also might you tell me if unbranding it would mean s-off?
and just a small unrelated question, running a wifi hotspot tether on a 2.3.7 is accessible by the pc and an iphone but cannot be seen by Ice Cream and JB, why is that?

Yes, you can flash arhd 21.
You'd need s-off in order to unbrand, which is not available for our hox.
Don't know about the WiFi tether thingy, maybe it works fine on arhd...
