Hi all,
What is the point of waiting for the official JB to come out by OTA, compared to the JB roms now available on xda (ordroid 7.1.0 for example). Is it more stable because it is from HTC, is there a real benefit?
Which evokes my next question, where do the custom roms get their base from? Is this base the same as the official JB update I have been waiting for?

Jb roms now works only if you have HBOOT 1.31 and some users are waiting for their compatible firmware to be able to upgrade their HBOOT... The custom roms take their base from RUUs and OTAs

thanks so i better get back to stock and wait for the official jb upgrade? i guess i wont get any upgrade when i stay on cm10, will i?
So its possible to go from CM10, back to stock, then when the jb ota is available, we can upgrade to that ? I have a branded phone running arhd 9.6 and my carrier only released 4.0.4 on Friday. I'm thinking of going to CM10 to enjoy the jb experience.
Yeah mate
btw, aussie carriers are slow at releasing updates, so it'll be awhile
Hello

No you can't, you need S-OFF... wrong section also...
That is my question, as far as I've read thanks google S Off doesn't work (yet?) for the HTC One X

You can unlock and install other ROMs on branded devices.
We're just having trouble with the Sense JB ROMs because they require an updated hboot, that cannot be installed onto the wrong CID which cannot be changed without S-Off.
Thanks
My last Android was a Defy, seems to work a bit different to HTC

If you want a stock, unbranded HTC Sense ROM on your phone, your only current option it to flash Mike1986's STOCK ROM. It's based on the UK WWE Unbranded CID but can be flashed on any device with an unlocked bootloaded (via HTC Dev). The downside is that you will ahve to flash back to stock Vodafone ROM to get the Jellybean OTA when it's released, before you can flash Mike's JB roms.
I strongly suggest trying CyanogenMod 10 though. It's leagues above the HTC Sense based ROMs. I certainly wont be going back.
so let me see if i understand,
if i had Vodafone rom and I switch to stock (and unfortunately my CID still VODAP102), I won't get any JB update?

if you're on stock you'll get the JB update as soon as Vodafone releases it... you just need to wait

Yes. You won't be able to update via official OTA with that custom ROM. Unless you flash the custom ROM for JB when it gets released.
To get official OTA you need Vodafone's official ROM back.

Correct, unless you stay on your stock Vodafone ROM, you wont get the JB OTA.
If you use a custom Stock ROM, you wont receive any OTAs, and you'll end up having to return to the Vodaphone stock ROM anyway to upgrade you HBOOT when they release the JB update so you can run a sense enabled JB ROM.
Personally, I'd just go ahead and flash an AOSP or AOKP ROM. I'm on Official CyanogenMod 10 and love it

I've been looking to upgrade to jb, but it seems the roms still are buggy, should I wait to upgrade, or is there a bug free jb rom out there currently?

I am using the stock LJ7 and I do not find it yo be buggy. I would wait to upgrade if you are wanting to use WiFi Tether, since that does not work on Jelly Bean Touchwiz roms.

There are multiple threads in the Android Development section which contain the stock OTA JB release from Sprint....that would be your best bet.

Ya this and the fact that basically all the jb ROM's out right now are built off the stock OTA update, They are not buggy at all. I have ran all of them and have not found one single bug.
Can I simply flash AHRD 17.1 on my HTC One X(o2_102)?
I tried to find more information on the other threads but I found no real answer...
Im on HBOOT 0.96, is there any way to update?
No, you have to wait for o2 to update you to JB, then you can go custom

At the moment JB is only out on unbranded handsets. To run JB you have to have the update firmware but this is only available on unbranded handsets that have had the JB update. Until you get the update from your carrier you won't be able to run a JB ROM based on Sense
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.
