Hey guys, my One X is CID_044 and apparently the OTA update is out. I've downloaded the firmware zip but a few things are a bit hazy to me.
1. Updating HBoot - I know mine's 0.94 now and the update ships with 1.36. Does this mean that I can use current Sense JB ROMS like ARHD IF I just download and update my HBoot alone (no flashing the Stock JB Sense ROM)
2. Will updating HBoot cause problems if I wish to return to ICS ROMs ?
3. Will updating HBoot cause any bugs in the future ?
4. Will updating HBoot cause problems if I want to use CM10 ROM's ?
5. There is no way of downgrading HBoot, is there ?
Thanks hope some of you can help me out. I doubt I'll be updating to the OTA update. Kinda feel sad to leave ViperX just for an update, which by the looks of it, wasn't all that :silly:

3: unknown. nobody can know. if you would know if anything would cause issues in the future you could become a very rich man
4: if you use the on from tripnraver it should work.
5: no there isn't. no s-off for teh moment
I used to be a viper x user, but did upgrade to ordroid and it is a lot smoother. I am missing all the tweaks but they will come again, so no need to wait in my opinion

Sorry, if this sounds like a noobish thread.
Well, i have CID_044 and Hboot 1.12 on the International Unlocked Version of HTC One X. My question here is, when the official update (JB 4.1.1) for my CID is released, will it automatically update my Hboot as well? Coz i think JB requires a newer Hboot? Or will i have to do it manually?

Most probably yes , hboot is like the BIOS on a computer , so it should need a compaitable boot.img , I mean the boot.img at the newe JB Stock ROMs need a compaitable hboot to run which may be only available at newer hboots
HTC_044 issue
Hi, I updated the HBoot 1.36 and my stock rom wasnt work. I tried to install Revolution Hd Custom rom with CW recovery and I wiped personal infos. During installation its failed and returned back main menu on CW. I restart the device in bootloader and try to reach recovery mode but it isnt opening and restaring. Now, I can only reach bootloader. By the way device is unlocked. Help me please
hi all , i have a problem with my one x.
i'm trying to update to JB but every time when i change the hboot from 1.12 to greater ones - 1.28 to 1.39 the onex is stuck to boot loop.
i can revert to 1.12 due tot the fact that i have S-OFF and i can also install non sense JB - as CM10 but, i would like to install the official JBRUU or at least some other custom rooms that are with the official version.
any ideas, cause i'm out of it?

Lucky you having S-OFF. S-ON is a pain.
Have you only updated HBOOT? I think you might also need a ROM and kernel that are compatible with the newer firmware

I did, as soon as i'm upgrading to 1.29 or higher my one x is stuck in the boot loop.
my cid is 11111111 .
any ideas ?
by the way is there any hboot below 1.29? any place from where i can download it?
Have you flashed a compatible JB sense rom before upgrading the HBOOT,or flashing the Rom after upgrading?

with 1.12 i was able to successfully install CM 10, nightly builds, but as soon as i have update my Hboot no other JB sense ROM has worked.
The only way to make my phone work again was to run the Europe RUU ICS 1.20.401.1 which revert my HBOot to 1.12.
Any suggestion?
I may be wrong here, as I'm new to HTC. But doesn't being s-off, as in a super-CID mean you can use any RUU? i.e. running a jb RUU would contain the correct Hboot.
Hi,
First time user of an Android device. I have a branded Vodafone HTC One X that I unlocked and flashed Cyanogenmod 10 on. It works wonderful, runs really fast and is overall much better than Sense. Now that Cyanogenmod 10.1 has reached beta stage, I'm intending on trying out JB 4.2.1. In order to do that, I need to update my HBOOT past 1.28.
It is here that I am quite lost. I did a bit of reading around on xda and other forums to figure out the best method and got a lot of different and sometimes conflicting info. I think this FAQ is the most accurate to my situation although I am worried that it is out of date: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660807
If it helps, the current HBOOT version on my phone is 1.12 and the CID is VODAP021.
It seems the consensus is that I have to (from top to bottom order):
Revert back to stock Sense ROM
Revert back to stock recovery
Relock bootloader (Do I lose root when I do this?)
Run the correct RUU for my phone in order to update HBOOT
Re-unlock bootloader, re-root (if necessary), re-flash custom recovery and flash CM10.1
Are all the above steps correct?
I am aware that there is a collection of stock Nandroid backups somewhere on this forum, but for simplicity's sake can I just restore the Nandroid backup I made prior to flashing Cyanogenmod on my phone? Will restoring the backup also restore the boot.img file? Will the backup also revert my phone back to stock recovery?
Also, I looked on the RUU directory (http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Endeavor) and found two RUU's that match my phone's CID: 1.26.862.3 and 1.29.862.11. Which one is correct?
Sorry if I seem to be bombarding with questions. I think I get the gist of it, but I'm rather paranoid of screwing up so I just want to triple check my understanding before I do anything. If I am over-complicating things, please let me know.
Yes root is lost on lock ( only remporarily ). When you unlock with fastboot oem unlock_token.bin you get back root.
Has Vodafone released JB update for your phone? If yes , then you dont need RUU. After returning to complete stock ( even recovery ) you cant update with official OTA . This will update the hboot.
You only have to revert to full stock and stock recovery. The bootloader can stay unlocked ! :thumbup:
And yes the ota is out for him
The basic steps are :
Flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup
Full wipe in recovery (caches,data,system)
Restore the nandroid backup
Flash the stock recovery
According to your hboot 1.12 you are on 2.17 based android 4.0.4 software .....
This is your stock recovery

There was indeed an OTA for my phone which updated HBOOT to 1.36. Updated to CM10.1 with no dramas and was much simpler than I anticipated.
Thanks everyone for all the advice!
Nice ! Glad we could help !

How is CM10.1 working?

Im a noob, but I think you have to go back to the stock sense ROM and then gete the official update to Jelly Bean. After that you will have the 1.39 HBOOT and then you can install CM10.1

it wont let me flash back to stock because hboot is different higher

ONCE AGAIN THANKS MR HOFS FOR INFO
Glad it worked for you !
I've quite a few questions regarding hboot and base versions, and would very much like some teachings from the community.
Recently, I've been quite confused regarding the hboot version(like 1.26) and rom "base" version(like 3.18.xxxxx)
With the ICS>JB update, it appeared that you must get the official OTA first in order to flash JB Roms, is it because the OTA also updated the hboot version?
If that's the case, are rom "base"s inherently restricted to certain hboot versions?
Are those ICS>JB OTAs a rare thing? Meaning that in most cases the only thing OTA-ed is a ROM/kernel itself, and nothing else? Will it benefit me to, say, go back to stock, get the official OTA for 3.19, then root/unlock bootloader again to flash new/upcoming 3.19 ROMs?
I know it's quite a few questions, but I would really be grateful for any answers! Thank you all in advance
I will give back what this community though me

I know some ota's update the hboot version, but not all. Hboot can be updated via RRU's too. The rru must (!!) match your cid (carrier id). There are plenty information on this.
If that's the case, are rom "base"s inherently restricted to certain hboot versions?

What do you mean by rom base? Some custom Roms require a hboot version higher than x. Ice cold jelly (past version 2.5 I think) cannot run on hboot version 1.28 or lower. Why in details I don't know. I imagine it's like installing Adobe master collection on windows 98..

Not necessarily ROMs, but kernels. The base version of the kernel source (0.99, 1.29, 3.14, etc, etc) is the key.
If your kernel is based on 3.14 for example, you need hboot higher or equal to 1.28.

Depends on your phone's CID... is it carrier branded?

If you are on 3.14 base already and provided that you use custom ROMs, upgrading would not benefit at all because it won't update the firmware (hboot) You can flash 3.19-based ROMs on 3.14-based phone no problem.
Thanks guys, you've pretty much answered all my questions so easily-understandably(if there's such a word)
TToivanen, about the ICS>JB OTAs, I was actually referring to OTAs whereby hboots are updated as well. Does this like usually only happen when there's a name-change update , like Gingerbread>ICS, ICS>JB, or JB>KLP? Or are there no fixed patterns and any random version updates could also have hboot updates?
There was a hboot update in the following versions of Android:
4.0.3 > 4.0.4 (mainver 2.17)
4.0.4 > 4.1.1 (mainver 3.14)
The latest OTAs 3.18 and 3.18 did not update hboot so you'll have to wait till KLP to get an update.
Of course you can update the hboot in methods other than OTA if you wish.
Hi, I've decided to go for the stock ROM due to a lot of problems i'm having with my HOX.
I already have Stock Boot.img, Recovery.img, but I am missing the Hboot.
According to the RUU Software my Hboot (Which I upgraded a year ago to 1.39) I need an older Hboot in order to run the RUU.
I've searched for a lot of sites and forums and don't seem to find a Hboot 0.96 (Stock) anywhere.
I'd appreciate if some has or knows where can I get it,
Thank you in advance!

you can't downgread your hboot unless you are S-OFF. Restore nandroid backup with your main version numbers or flash custom sense 5 rom close to stock like MaximusHD, ARHD or rom in my signature

I've the same problem. I'm on HBoot 1.72 and I want get back to SlimBean 4.2.2 because with that ROM my HOX runs best. If I try to install SlimBean Build 8 I get the message that only HBoot <= 1.39 is supported. Is there any way to get back on Slim 4.2.2?
I've solved my problem without downgrading HBoot or something like this. You can simply edit the updater-script from the ROM and add HBoot 1.72 as possible solution. Now I'm running Slim 4.2.2 on HBoot 1.72 without any problems.
