Just unlocked my bootloader and flashed clockwork recovery - pretty easy.
I have a Vodafone UK provided device that has vodafone's CID.
My Firmware version is 1.26 currently.
If i wanted to put Android Revolution 3.0.0 on the device it is suggested i need to upgrade the firmware?
When i look at the firmware page it says its only supported by certain CID numbers and when i check mine it says none
Can i still put it on or do i risk bricking?
Since you're CID is not listed, my guess is that it will either not install, give bootloop or brick.
Keep reading and let people develop some more.

My HTC One X is on Vodafone too. I unlocked it etc from the guides on XDA and HTCDEV.
I've been using the ARHD ROMS for a few days now, they're better than what Vodafone provided. Today I flashed the ARHD 3 ROM. First I did the 3 boot image via fastboot then flashed the ROM via recovery, I always wipe cache and dalvik cache between ARHD ROMs and so far it's working fine. No brick here...
If you've got this far I reckon you can fastboot flash the boot image and upgrade to ARHD 3 no problem at all - go for it I say...
linkisoc - with your phone on the arhd rom and unlocked from HTCdev, are you able to change the CID?
I'll confess I never even considered the CID. It's not something I'd come across before with several android phones all rooted / flashed etc. I've been doing this since the Google Nexus one, Nexus S, Samsung Galaxy Nexus and now the One X... checking the CID never occured to me...I'll google it now though and see if I've just been very lucky !
i've never changed it either - always managed to get unbranded sets this far but was far too keen for this phone and got it from vodafone on release day, complete with all their crap and slow OTA releases. I asked in another post about the difference between htcdev unlock and an eventual S-OFF and apparently they're different.
Hey Guys,
I'm reaching the point of frustration now. To try and cut a long story short, I had the Android Revolution 6 ROM on my rooted/unlocked HTC One X, and decided to update it to Android Revolution 13. I followed all the instructions, went to boot it, and it just sat on the HTC logo for an hour at which point I knew something went wrong. I repeated the steps, including wiping data using super wipe, without success either. I then decided to just select the "Factory reset" option on the boot menu, but this has also failed to boot after 30 minutes. I can also no longer boot into recovery. I've tried reloading CWM and other recovery ROM's onto the phone, but the phone resets as soon as they load.
At this point, I just want to get some form of OS on my phone. My phone is Unlocked, S-ON and has a CID of OPTUS001. I don't know if Factory reset will work if the phone is unlocked. It's all very time consuming as you normally don't know if the boot process has locked until you've waited ~20 minutes. I can't find my original ROM from when I bought the phone either, so I assume I need to obtain another one from somewhere, but I don't have any idea about CID compatibility, etc, and I'm finding this all very confusing and frustrating. All help is much appreciated. I have a feeling I need to replace my boot.img with a stock boot.img, but once again, where do I get that?
Thanks
the phone doesn't boot because you don't have the latest firmware installed, you need HBOOT 1.31 but you can't install it cause your CID is not compatible with it, you sjould go back to ICS and wait...
Did you load new firmware 1.31? This firmware is not compatible with Your CID... Did You read carefully this thread — http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003
Sent from HOX with ARHD 13
You forgot that you need to update the firmware to 1.31.
You can also just install ARHD 9.7.2. Ensure you have the latest CWM 5.8.4.0
faatboot flash recovery recovery.img
and then flash the boot image:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
And then copy the ROM on using recovery mount USB and flash it.
Thanks for all the help guys. I managed to get a stock recovery.img back onto the phone, and by re-locking the phone I was able to use the latest Optus RUU from htcruu.com.
So at least I've now got a working phone again.
Moving onto why ARHD didn't work, I had no idea about the firmware 1.31 compatibility requirement. I thought all HTC One X's were created equal. I didn't know about this CID nonsense. Can someone explain how I find out when my phone's CID becomes compatible, or perhaps a way to change my CID or some other means of getting Jelly Bean onto my phone. Apologies for being a noob.

without S-OFF no chance to change CID. Regarding CID compatible - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003

Yeah, but I'm going to put on ARHD 9.7 I think.
Optus not compatible with JB yet
Evening folks.
I was running a rooted and ROM'd One X with ARHD 9.x and quietly waiting for T-Mobile UK to release their version of JB. Now it's out, I've reverted to stock from Nandroid, gone back to stock recovery and stock boot image and waited for a system update OTA from T-Mob.
My phone picked up an update which was about 28mb. I figured this might be to update my hboot as I'm on 0.43 and I understand that needs to be updated before I can update to JB. I ran the install, the phone rebooted and then I got the following message flash up:
"This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action."
Since then I can't do anything like a factory reset (I get the same message flash up). The phone boots fine but tells me I have an update waiting to be applied.
Given that the phone was reverted completely to stock, I'm not quite sure what the update is that it picked up.
I'm thinking about doing it all manually but I'm frankly confused by all the information that's around - it's hard to work out what relates to my phone, and what I need to do. Here are the things I need to understand:
How do I get the hboot to a later version?
What version do I need to get it to to be able to then install JB?
Can I go directly from 0.43 to the one that will allow the JB install or does it need to be done in stages?
version-main: 1.26.110.5
CID = T-MOB005
hboot = 0.43
I'd really like to wrap my head around this and any help would be very much appreciated.
Edit: I've just noticed that I can no longer get into the stock Recovery...
You can flash this ruu
http://www.htcruu.com/securekey.php...Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260731_signed.exe
It will bring your hboot to at least 0.95 or 0.96, from there you have to try and update to android 4.0.4 hboot 2.17 and from there to JB
Put the phone in fastboot usb mode and lock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
Stay in the fastboot usb mode and execute the RUU.exe from pc ... right click it and select
Run as administrator
It will flash the phone to full stock, you lose all data on the phone !
Thanks Mr Hofs, that worked. I've now got 1.29.110.11 on the phone, however it doesn't seem to be installing the 4.0.4 update (which it picks up OTA).
It downloaded it, rebooted, looked like it was installing but when the phone restarted it was still on 4.0.3 and picked up the system update again...
Edit: Ran it again and it's worked! I'm on 4.0.4 and 2.17.110.5. Next I'm hoping it picks up the T-Mobile OTA for JB. Then I can let it sort the hboot, unlock it, flash it and *done* hopefully!
Edit 2: Superb, it's picked up the Jelly Bean update. Downloading now!
Thanks for your help Mr Hofs!
No problem mate ! Enjoy the JB experience
Hi, I've got a Desire HD phone which I got unlocked and unbranded from the start and it came with some version of Froyo out of the box. Since then I've updated it through via wifi and currently it's on GB 2.3.5 and after the last update the phone has been telling me that it has no updates available. Furthermore, I have never flashed or rooted this phone so it's still a virgin
Further information on my phone is as follows:
Android Version: 2.3.5
HTC Sense Version: 3.0
Software Number: 3.13.707.4
AND some pics of the specs are in the attachment, please check them out.
Now due to some performance issues I wanted to reinstall either 2.3.5 or lower version of gingerbread or if possible the latest version of Froyo available for my phone. I have already tried restarting, taking out the battery, doing factory reset, wiping the phone and sdcard both from within the phone settings and from the HBoot and Recovery menu as well to no avail.
So I would like to ask you guys for steps and possible links to correct RUU for re-flashing the stock version of unbranded 2.3.5 or lower version of gingerbread or if possible the latest version of Froyo. I don't want to mess with the phone too much by going into the rooting and installing custom ROMS just yet, but that would be my last resort if all else fails.
I'm a newbie so please be gentle in replies
Thanks in advance!
STOP STOP STOP DONT DO ANYTHING!
don't flash any froyo ruu or wwe this will mess your hboot and you'll be in a whole world of hurt.
If you've done a factory reset you shouldn't be having performance issues as that takes you back to factory condition of course.
How ever
Your first course of action now should be goto market and get emmc checker and see if you have the bad chips (sain I think).
If you dont have issue I suggest you do HTCDEV unlock and root your phone or flash a new rom, ive only used SVHD which is ics sense rom which is pretty damn awesome, but im moved on to samsung galaxy s4 (unrooted) now so haven't used newest version yet.
Have a look around the dev forum there are a few really good guides .
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I recommend getting s-off and unlocking the HBoot to get the best performance from your phone. I must say that this is not for the faint-of-heart and things sometimes can and do go wrong .
I bought a second hand Desire HD running stock Telus GB for very little money so I didn't have much to lose if I pooched the phone. If you do decide to unlock the HBoot, make sure you upgrade to 2.00.0029 first.
What performance issues were you having?

Ran that app and it says " Brick Bug? NO. Sane Chip "
So I'm guessing my phone is good, right?
I've been having some major bugs popping up on my phone ever since I upgraded to the 2.3.5 update. My phone camera gets stuck while taking pictures, at times it has restarted my phone when I take a picture, the GPS/Location keeps popping up at every boot and I can't seem to disable it, the Connect To Computer message which used to let me select in which mode I want to connect my phone to the PC has stopped showing up and the phone only connects in charging mode to the PC, the speaker phone keeps turning itself on whenever I make a call or receive a call. I've read up on all these bugs on many forums and tried all the solutions to no avail, I have already done factory resets, battery pulls, cleaning of the usb connector, tried different usb cables on different computers, formatted the memory card etc, but none of these things worked for me.
So I'm left with one choice only, that is to erase everything on this phone and flash a fresh ROM onto it to see if it fixes the issue. And just to be on the safe side I want to install anything lower than 2.3.5 since that's when all these bugs popped up one by one for me. And I don't want to root my phone just yet or unlock it or do any experiments with it yet.
So my question is, how do I backup my current ROM in case if anything goes wrong I could revert back to this one and then how do I flash an official earlier version of GB compatible with my phone and where to get this ROM. Since my phone came unbranded and unlocked, I'm assuming the WWE versions would work well for me right? I once saw in my phone somewhere that it told me I have htc_asia_WWE version on my phone, if that helps. But I would rather get an English only version which has no other language settings in it, like chinese, vietnemese etc etc which my phone currently has.
Thanks in advance!

I guess you could run the RUU but since you think its wwe_asia it will be tricky to get a proper link for your RUU.I'd suggest unlocking the BL and if you're only after the stock ROM, flash Android Revolution HD 6.6, it's stock.First you need to upgrade the HBOOT though, you need .0029 for the unlocking process.You unlock the BL via HTC's site afterwards.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38947050&postcount=10
Download HBOOT Update Kit and rom.zip from attachments there.Put the rom.zip exactly in C, and the update kit doesn't really matter, aslong as it's in a folder.Make sure you have your drivers installed, found here , install them.Run the hboot update.bat, but turn on usb debugging first.

I did get a RUU which meets my specs exactly, or so I think:
http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_234022_signed.exe
I ran it, updated my phone, it's the same version which is already on my phone, it completed without any issues, but the bugs are still there. So I'm assuming it didn't really reinstall the software from scratch, it just updated the software without making much changes to it, pretty much like a factory reset, right???
Can you please tell me why we need to unlock the HBoot??? Is it to enable us to flash custom roms???
What I want to do is erase the 2.3.5 GB software completely from my phone so it has no trace of it, then install stock/untouched 2.3.3 GB or any other GB version compatible with my phone. So please provide steps and insight into this process.
Thanks

Updated and unlocked my Hboot and now it's on 29 with S-Off.
I flashed CWM recovery, installed SuperUser and flashed the latest version of SVHD and rebooted but phone won't start, after the HTC logo with a white background, the screen goes black as if the ROM can't boot.
Could this be a SuperUser issue or a S-Off issue? I'm not sure if SVHD requires S-On to function properly and it's nowhere mentioned on the thread either.
Advice required :crying:

Never mind your actually s-off...
Did you do full wipe before flash?
Apparently you really should be using 4ext recovery on dhd as clockwork doesnt quite do the job right?.

Flash 4ext, wipe everything and reflash 1.7.0, and then update to 1.7.3.CWM never wiped my partitions properly, it blows compared to 4ext.
searched all day yesterday and seemingly i need s-off to fix my firmware (radio)?
if so how did it get the wrong one in from flashing a rom if you need s-off to change it?
Hboot 3.16
orang001
twrp 2.7.x.x ( any higher hangs at entering recovery )
leedroid os boots works fine except no comms most likely because of radio issue.
fastboot from pc working
update: flashed an older rom and i now have a working phone again with wifi and cellular working.
but looking in hboot radio still says invalid!
dont worry about it?
and/or upgrade hboot / firmware etc? then i can move forward with newer roms/android?
Your current hboot version is too low for all the available custom ROMs on Development section.
You need to do OTA update up to at least 4.19.61.3 or the best to 6.12.61.4
Once you do the update I believe your radio problem will be fixed.
