[Q] Quick unrooting for OTA question - HTC One X

Hi experts,
i know this is very simple for you.. please help....
i have an orange version of HOX, which i have rooted(only root, no cust roms).
now to get OTA, i know that i will have to lock the bootloader again.
but my question is... i have been reading a lot about RUU... so do i need to do anythng there??? or just lock the bootloader?
please give me specific link to download and follow...please...

BTW my speck -
HTC One X, it is the UK Orange version, and i live and use it in India.
android ver - 4.04
sense - 4.1
softwre no - 2.17.61.3
htc sdk api - 4.23
kernel - 2.6.39.4
ENDEAVORU S-On RL
HBOOT - 1.12.0000
Radio - 2.1204.135.20
CID - ORANG001

No you don't need to flash ruu
Only relock bootloader
Also if youve installed cmw or twrp so any other recovery ...you have to install stock recovery ...
And you have to temporarily unroot by using the app ota root keeper
1.flash stock recovery
2.backup root then delete it (nit the backup )
3.lock bootloader
4.install ota update

You dont need to lock the bootloader, just flash the stock recovery and unroot the rom. That's all

how to ( or where to ) find stock recovery????????????

Or a quick search here on xda is enough ! Don't be lazy now !!!

not tht he is lazy.. i think we noobs are just scared tht we dun scre* up the phone...
i will try to find it and post a link here....
but just 1 question.... can i just install any stock recovery tht i find for HTC one X, or it need to be somethng specific to my model... for ex version, CID etc..

You need to flash the stock recovery from the right base. Like the 2.17 or 1.29 base.
And the lazy part was just a little hint that everything is really easy to find here on xda. There are enough guides to follow....check the stickies in the android dev section and you will see that everything has been covered there ! :thumbup:

i really.. really did search for recovery img for ENDEAVORU, softwre no - 2.17.61.3, HBOOT - 1.12.0000
Radio - 2.1204.135.20
CID - ORANG001
i seriously dont seem to find it... i do find 2.17.XXX.xx though
please give me a link if someone has it.
also i will be using the ALL in One tool and i am hoping thts the best method.

It's in the first post. If you scroll and read a bit you see the download links for the recovery's
You need the 2.17 recovery ..the rest of the numbers are not important.

hi all.. is there a way to find out when CID - ORANG001 JB update is released so that i can unroot at that time?
i googled but didnt find an answer... is there a site or specific thread?

Yes keep an eye on this thread !

All info about updates are there

hey experts...
i am gonna unroot my HOX today....
so i have the 2.17 recovery...
which i can flash....
i have been reading a lot of tutorials whr thy finally flash RUU, but i dont need that as i already have stock.
i just need to unroot...
so what exactly do i do here?
1 - Flash Stock recovery
2 - Fastboot oem lock
Then what... what is the step that gets it unrooted??
is locking the boot loader enough???
i hope you understand what exactly i need here.....
i am doing all this just so that i get OTA!
Thanks in advance

BTW.. i also have SU installed.. do i need to uninstall it,

also as per MarcelHofs, i dont need to lock bootloader... so just flash stock recovery, and unroot...
so hows the unroot process exactly?

Flash recovery.img
Erase cache
Reboot remove supersu app(actually just to do this step before flashing the recovery)
Reboot and you are done.

[Q] HTC One X JB rom upgrade - newbie

Hi Guys,
i am completely new to Android, had my One X for 6 months now.
i really want to upgrade to JB, the renovate ROM.
i have CID_016 and HBOOT 1.12.
can any1 tell me the steps i need to take, i will do my best to find the detailed instructions on each step.
but i just need to know exactly what i need to do...upgrade HBOOT? if so what version? if im on 1.12 - do i have to do 1 or 2 version before going to the final version etc...etc
i really dont want to brick my device.
thanks
Okay first thing I would do is have a look at the renovate ROM thread, because the OP would most likely be a nice person and have some instructions. Let's see what they write......
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705334
"How To Flash:
For the Jellybean update you need to have flashed the updated firmware. Please have a look at the many guides available on how to do this"
Oh, so they want us to flash updated firmware, how should I do this? Well look! Conveniently stickied is a thread called "[07.12.2012] Jelly Bean firmware collection for different Carriers ID (CID)", let's go there!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
Oh I see my CID number listed underneath!
I will then proceed to download the firmware.zip file.
Okay I downloaded, now what? Well let me scroll down the page and see if there are any instructions:
"Flash firmware.zip using following terminal commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip"
Okay, I see I have to be in fastboot mode in order to do this. But I must not forget to relock the bootloader first. So I use the command 'fastboot oem lock' to first lock my bootloader, and then proceed to complete the above instructions to flash the firmware.
Okay now what? Well I think I should relock my bootloader now that I want to flash renovate, so I do by using 'fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin'. Done.
Next, ...........
Or seriously just use this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003
You need either HBOOT 1.31, 1.33 or 1.36 for this ROM.

So...yes U have to upgrade your HBOOT.
All other steps for flashing are described in every rom thread.
thanks tomascus - that last link is what i needed.
i know there are detailed threads on the ROM links, and i cant ask questions on there, so just wanted to know about what order to do things, and if i needed to upgrade my HBOOT to some other version first before going to the latest etc...dont ahve money for a new phone so dont wanna brick it
i've already downloaded firmware with HBOOT 1.36, as well as a custom ROM, busy downloading JBFWTOOL now.
can i go straight from HBOOT 1.12 to 1.36? running ICS obviously
thanks a mil.

cool, thats good to know. thanks for the help.
last question, i hope - what is this "unlock_code.bin" that i see certain instructions talk about?
in bootloader it says "S-ON" - do i need this unlock_code.bin and if so how do i get it?

You get it when you unlock at htcdev. You will need it when unlocking bootloader.
S-ON has nothing to do with this don't worry about it.

Yes, at the moment you can't do anything without unlocking the bootloader at htcdev.com.
And I really recommend this tool for unlocking and installing custom recovery, it truly is noob-proof.
After using that tool you will have all pre-requirements and tools needed for installing custom roms. :good:

I had the same problem,I flashed stock recovery,but it was the wrong.I don't relock.I flashed backup of my stock Rom,then boot .img then stock recovery.I got the update but it don't install,same as you.I refashed stock recovery and then it worked,hope it helps
Sent from my EndeavorU using xda app-developers app
The OTA update can only be applied to a complete stock rom (either from a nandroid backup of your original stock rom or via ruu). You also need to have a stock recovery (not CWM) or else the update won't flash. The reason is that the OTA contains patches to certain files and if those files are not present the install will fail. The bootloader doesn't need to be locked for the OTA to install though but if your rom and recovery aren't stock it will not work.
Read this
thanks for trying people.. but most of you here are giving me answers that i already know, or you want me to try stuff....
i am sooper scared tht i might brick my phone and so i dont wanna experiment...
is there a solution that somebody is sure of.
also for my softwre no - 2.17.61.3, i dont see a RUU in the list.
lets also assume that i do not have a nandroid backup......
i am sure some expert would have an answer here... help plzzzz
Without RUU or backup, your only option is to go to the backups thread and look there.
You can't brick your phone without S-Off. Although you'd do well to keep charge in it.
Finally it is done.... all thnks to the expert ClydeB1!!!!
so basically i used a nandroid backup, flashed stock recovery 2.17, updated.. i m JB now

[HELP] - Need help running RUU - Getting Sig Error 132

Hi All,
I really hate running RUU's, but now I think I must run one, and use the newer kernel..
I have HTC_001 - with my version being the .401. one...
I have now downloaded two RUU's that both fail on the Signature Error - Error code 132.
I'm fastboot oem lock, then running the RUU... Is there anything I must do?
At the moment I'm restoring my nandroid backup from before trying (tried at least 10 since last night, 2 different computers too), as I need my phone...
Is there any other way to do it? I just want a newer hboot, but am on 0.43 now...
Any help apprciated...
Thanks, Matt
EDIT: I'm on <fastboot getvar mainver> 1.26.401.2 - I'm now downloading an ICS ruu, and if that works, will do the ota (hopefully)... Still any help appreciated..
Could you do: fastboot get main-version
If you wont to upgrade to JB with RUU i think your HBOOT version is to low, so you first need to upgrade firmware:
1. You can upgrade firmware to "middle" version if you use ICS RUU
2. Then you can use JB RUU, or only JB firmware
cid firmware for you :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376 this is the latest HBOOT.
But first post info after : fastboot get main-version

haha, just edited my post... 1.26.401.2
But how can I upgrade my firmware - this ruu is supposed to do that...
As said, I'm downloading an ICS ruu, then I guess will OTA if that works... - Only thing is... The ruu will take at least 1 Hour to download, with my bad download speeds...
So, yes you need first to use RUU with matching CID and main version, then you can do OTA upgrade all the way to JB and HBOOT 1.39..
But be aware if you do officially OTA upgrade to JB yours phone touch.img will be also updated and you have problems with touch in custom recoveries like CWM or TWRP!
If you do official update to JB:
1. TWRP 2.5.0.0 or 2.4.0.0 - reapcked version have touch but usb mass storage in recovery and adb isn't functional
2. CWM 6.0.3.0-have adb and usb mass storage but no touch because of developer restriction
So it is better to upgrade OTA to latest ICS version and manually just upgrade HBOOT to 1.39..

Thanks, will give it a go...
If anything, I will compile a touch version of CWM and use that for personal use... (I have done in the past (6.0.2.7)).
So if this ICS ruu works, then just the FW JB Flasher Tool to upgrade to latest hboot? If so, sounds good
To flash firmware with fastboot commands after you upgrade to latest ICS - i am not using tools ore similar one click tools , but for flashing firmware you cant just flash
You need to lock bootloader again for flashing firmware (it should bee locked already because you need to lock to flash RUU) and then when phone is in bootloader(fastboot usb mode actually):
1.fastboot oem rebootRUU
2.fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
After HBOOT upgrade boot to hboot to check is it really there, and then unlock bootloader again, and flash custom recoveries..
And here are the links for working custom recoveries(with mentioned restrictions in previous post) if you decide to upgrade via OTA all the way to JB

What is the easier way Mr Hofs? Just for anyone else who might ask? or if I need to do it again etc?
You only needed to install the 1.26, 1.28, 1.29 or the 2.17 ruu....they will work right away. A JB ruu only works when you are on at least a 2.17 based software.
Or flash the JB firmware right away. This will actually lift the hboot directly to 1.39.....
It could be done in 2 posts ..... but we are all here to learn so this all has been a very good experience :thumbup:
Ow and losing the touch function on the official newer base is no problem at all, all the cwm recoverys can be controlled with the volume and power button !
I don't argue with Mr Hofs , he is expert and have all info in his head, i just can blindly follow his instructions without struggling :laugh:

But as I was on 0.43 hboot, I couldnt flash the firware.zip to bring hboot up? or could I... I was in the understanding of I needed newer than 0.43 to flash a newer hboot...
But also, it would have helped me to know that I cannot go straight to JB RUU from 0.43 - that would have saved me a lot of time lol!!
anyways, i flashed the 1.28, which bought me up to 0.96 (I think), then changed hboot to 1.39 - so all is fine for me now
Thanks for the suggestions though, I might need them for when I buy my HTC One lol
Yeah that's good too no problem there.
The thing is that the standalone firmware flash to upgrade the hboot can be done from any low hboot.
Only the JB ruu can be installed from the 1.12 or higher...
Well, all I know, is that is is done now!! lol...
So I'm happy... and I guess can make this thread as "Solved"
Very true ! And a :thumbup: up for hpn !

PLEASE HELP A NOOB
you just need to update the bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
your CID must match the firmware.zip's CID
You must download this firmware : http://www.androidrevolution.nl/downloader/download.php?file=3.16.65.2.zip
Put it in your fastboot folder.. rename it to 'firmware.zip'.. and run the commands matt95 has given! Note that.. flashing the firmware might give an error the first time.. continuously flash the firmware.zip until you get a successful message!
This will upgrade your hboot and from now on you can flash any ROM out here!

M8.. don't get confused... if you want to flash OTA.. it's a different process...
I would suggest to download the firmware which I have posted earlier and then follow the steps matt has given!
If you follow the steps correctly. nothings gonna happen! :good:

If you still want to update via OTA flash.. read the steps which are there in the OTA thread!
Yes, as long as your using stock ROM + recovery... you will get OTA updates! And no... it won't change your IMEI!
Yes, I remember you from that other thread... It's strange that it's displaying as 'none'...

You don't need to update anything, your hboot supports all roms.
Unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and install super user.zip
