Hi guyz. I have my HTC One X which was carrier branded to optus. i wiped and flashed a stock rom and stock recovery, which took away the optus splash screen and bloatware. I've realised that optus approved of the jellybean update but its not appearing on my phone. also do u need to lock the bootloader for ota updates? also a basic description of why and what android sdk is.
thanks in advance
Its because you have a stock ROM that's based off another region and not the actual Optus stock ROM which you need, the bloat ware and carrier logo at boot up should be present in order to receive OTAs.
What you should do is download the Optus nano droid backup in the general section and restore it to return to stock.

ok thanks. im downloading the nandroid backup for htc one x jellybean optus from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
is there a way to get stock jellybean sense rom on my device? or remove the splash screen and bloatware after i flash the optus backup
thnx
Yeah... Install one. Mike1986 has a stock JB ROM.
So, after you return to stock and receive the JB update, you'll be ready to install a custom JB ROM.
ok thanks guyz. i got one more question, im getting the stock nandroid jb rom for optus, do i have to update my hboot or anything like that? befor flashing?
UPDATE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970 this is a stock jb rom for one x, can i flash this instead of the jb optus nandroid backup (the hosting site is annoyingly slow). and again do i need to update hboot for this rom, if yes how. thanks
You need a stock rom from Optus and the stock recovery to be able to update the phone. Restore the Optus nandroid,flash the boot.img from the nandroid and flash back the matching stock recovey, then you can update the phone
thats good. but im asking, is it neccessary to update my hboot for the JB optus nandroid backup? and for a stock htc JB rom?
You need to restore the nandroid backup that matches the software number of the phone ! If its 2.17 you should restore the 2.17 Optus nandroid and update officially to JB, the update will take care of flashing the higher hboot to 1.36 or even 1.39. After that you have to flash a custom recovery and flash a custom rom again.
Fastboot getvar version-main
That will say which one you need.you can't just restore the JB nandroid. The hboot has to be updated for JB roms
ok thanks, but i also have the hboot for jelly bean (optus), which i got from here http://d-h.st/users/ClydeB1/?fld_id=8110#files
can i use jelly bean flasher and flash the hboot 1.36. then the JB rom?
the reason why is that i cant find a nandroid for ics optus. so im thinking of any other ways
Yes if the cid matches you can flash the firmware that will bring you to a higher hboot and flash JB roms
I see a Optus 2.17 backup here

Rather than commit suicide, could try installing a version of clockworkmod that isn't ancient. I suggest 5.8.4.0.

Update hboot optus001 manually
Hi i was wondering how you flash the hboot as mentions in the earlier post, I to need optus001 2.17 nandroid backup but cant get it unless link is changed to public.
However it seamed that your work around got u there, I have dowmloaded the hboot 1.36 optus zip & the recovery 5.8.4.0 file, I have also downloaded ARHD 18.1 + boot img.. I'm currently hrunning ARHD 9.7..
So were can i get a hboot flasher compatible with optus001 cid & is this all the stuff i will need & is there any threads that may help walk me thru the process's..
Any help would be great, I seemed to have it down packed till i went back to stock & optus updated my hboot to 1.12 after this my stock ruu wont work & i seem stuck. (Reading threads its clear that if i had restarted my phone one more time the JB update would have been there & all this stress saved)
Kind regards

Get your firmware.zip from the download link in this thread (by ClydeB) your cid is exactly Optus_001 ?
http://d-h.st/mBx
then put the phone in fastboot usb mode, lock the bootloader and follow this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
You have to flash the firmware.zip with the given commands in the thread.
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash firmware.zip
All this is done with a locked bootloader and the phone in fastboot usb mode.
After the fastboot oem rebootRUU command the phone will restart and stall in a black screen with a silver HTC logo then you perform the firmware flash. Unlock the bootloader again and flash a custom recovery, then you are ready for JB
NOTE : charge the battery before you start !!!

Thank you so much worked perfect, is there away i can donate to u or is it better to jst donate $10 to xda ??
Well I tried custom firmware after successfully unlocking my HTC One X. It says Unlocked but S-ON so not sure whats going on there? But since S-On I cannot change the CID as get the error (status read failed (too many links)) MY CID is H3G_001 and since I rooted my phone refuses to let me upgrade to OTA Jellybean which is frustrating forcing custom firmware.
Without updating CID I got stuck in a bootloop at least I guess it was as it was just stuck on the quitely brilliant screen for 20 minutes before I shut it off and tried another firmware which did the same. I am now in the process of a Nandroid recovery so I can at least use the phone. Three have a ton of bloatware which sucks. But I gotta stick with it as cannot figure out why it wont let me flash.. All help is appreciated. This phone is alot harder to flash than my HTC Desire which was a breeze.

you cannot s-off the one x, all you have done is unlock the bootloader which will allow you to flash clockwork recovery and flash su etc.
Unlocked s-on is normal.
Unlocking has nothing to do with s-off
At present there is no way to change your cid.
2x errors have occurred here
Ota updates fail after rooting if you leave the custom recovery on there.
You needed to unlock. Flash or boot custom recovery.
Flash supersu binaries
Flash stock recovery
Then boot ROM.
That way it would have been rooted and still allow ota updates.
You have made things worse by flashing the firmware.zip
By flashing the firmware you have updated your hboot. Probably to 1.36
Which will no longer work for the ICS ROM that is on your phone.
You need to find a nandroid backup for jellybean for your cid.
Just switching to PC to find you some links
ok looked more into it
you should still be able to boot after restoring your nandroid.
dont forget to pull the boot.img from your backup and reflash it as flashing the firmware will have put the JB boot.img on
you will want to restore the stock recovery which you can find in the firmware.zip once you have restored your backup
reboot into your rom and do the OTA that way

I restored from my nandroid and its working fine, all back to 4.0.4 with the phone unlocked I used CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip when i rooted my phone (or at least im sure I did as I did root over 6 months ago now).
So how would I go about updating to a custom firmware then?? Instead of the OTA as would prefer to get rid of the bloatware as half the apps aren't even English..
If you want a custom ROM
Try looking at something like latest android revolution HD
Very similar to stock but no bloat.

Okay thanks for that but how do I get it to work with my CID is what I would like to know do I have to first get OTA jellybean working then a custom firmware to update the CID? It seems a little confusing.. I listed my CID in first post but like I also said all custom firmwares I tried Viper X 3.3.4 and skydragon both left me with a phone stuck on boot screen for 20 minutes until i gave up and just turned off.
Your cid is irrelevant for anything except going to stock.
Custom ROMs arnt dependent on cid.
But they are dependent on hboot versions.
Cm10 ROMs will not work on any hboot>1.12
Any sense jellybean ROMs or ROMs with 3.1 kernels need a hboot version of at least 1.23
Couldn't saw viperx ROM but dragon is based on 3.17 so your hboot has to be minimum of 1.23
After installing the custom ROM you did flash the boot.IMG in fastboot didn't you?

where i get the boot.img? I think i may have missed that part *duh* OKAY nm found that hboot is 1.12 need to update... Updating the Hboot means I have to go back to stock right? Then update OTA to get Hboot update then I can get JB..

You need a stock boot.img, stock recovery and a stock ICS Rom. Then you will get OTA to JB, upgrading that way your hboot. Then you can flash any custom JB Rom.
P.s. The correct boot.img is in the rom's zip folder. Every time you change the rom you should flash the proper boot.img.

Yeah problem is I need RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_H3G_UK_2.17.771.3 to go back to stock and it doesn't exist.. Anyway around the RUU exe ?
EDIT NM found I can use the nandroid method.. Giving it a shot now.
Go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
And download your matching nandroid ! Restore it including flashing the boot.img from the nandroid. After that you flash this recovery back
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
And you are on stock again. And also able to update to JB
That did NOT work I got back to stock but without the RUU exe file it seems it will not install I loveked my phone aswell and when i try to install the OTA update i just get kicked to bootloader.
Edit didnt see above post sorry
So did it work.....I know my method works !
Sorry yeah it worked Was up till stupidly late trying to do it as I was following another method as I never saw yours (a really old one) Where I locked my phone so had to unlock etc.. Plus download that update OTA each time took 1 hour. I'm now on stock with Hboot 1.39 thankyou so much really appreciate! So now I just reflash recovery yeah? And backup nandroid then go for my custom rom?
Yes exactly !
I now have Android Revolution working perfectly and since I paid for Nova Prime I decided to go for lite after all and removed Sense thank so much for that method so much easier than the guides on here which make it sound so difficult I really was pulling my hair out!
Nice ! Glad it worked :thumbup:

If you are asking a question, you need to ask your question in the correct subforum, which I have moved this thread to.
There is no usable ruu for you, and i don't see a "new" nandroid backup either. But you can do this :
Download here your matching firmware. The HTC__023 one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
Place the file in the fastboot folder and rename it to firmware.zip
Put the phone in the bootloader and relock it. Then flash the firmware
Fastboot oem lock
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Do it multiple times until it says Oke, if it does not the first time !
Reboot the bootloader (hold power button and volume - button until you are in the bootloader)
Unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and install a new JB rom of your choice
Even if the rom is stock or it's not possible.
In fact there is a JB stock nandroid you can use. But you have to update the hboot first
http://bugsylawson.com/index.php/files/file/186-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-htc-023-3177281/
ok but i meant to say can i use ANY stock rom of my choice coz i want full arabic support or maybe i shd stick to my cid -related roms?
When you upgraded the hboot you can use any rom out here. Custom roms, stock rom.....whatever you want. The only cid related rom here is that stock nandroid backup i linked you. 99% of the custom roms here are based on the wwe base.
Thank you very much for giving a helping hand... it worked... i flashed the firmware successfully ... one last thing: generally, we flash a stock recovery and relock the bootloader before we install a stock RUU using the computer i mean ... Can i now, after flashing the firmware, install ANY stock RUU, arabic to be specific, using the computer as usual without flashing a stock recovery and locking my bootloader?
thank you
No you must flash a custom recovery and flash a custom rom. Or you must restore the stock nandroid backup.
You can't run a ruu. There is no ruu available for you to use.
2 choices :
1: install any custom JB rom
2: restore the stock 3.17 nandroid backup, flash back the stock 3.17 recovery. Then you be able to install official OTA
after i flashed the firmware and twrp jb recovery i cant access the sd card from the recovery anymore... pc says Mtp failed
any ideas?
ah ok got it sorted out.. i tried cwm recovery and it mounted successfully ....
Oke cool,so its all sorted now ?
Yes got it all .. thank you
However, as you can see in the attached image the internal storage is nearly full. Well I just flashed the Rom as you know. I wonder what the problem could be.

I assume, that a HTC-Stock ROM is installed on your htc one m8. NO Custom ROM and NO Custom HBoot! <- IMPORTANT
Root doesn't matter for an OTA Update.
But you have to flash the Stock Recovery that matches with your ROM Base and Relock the Bootloader.
First you must Backup your device including Internal Storage, because of the Factory Reset that happen when you Unlock the Bootloader again!

As far as I know, you can't receive a OTA Update with Super CID 111111.
It won't flash, because of the "android-info" in the OTA Update File.
The "android-Info" contains the CID that can receive the OTA, otherwise it won't flash. to avoid that the device receives a wrong OTA.
You must set it to the original Provider CID that matches with your Stock ROM.
In your case, I think:

Incorrect, SuperCID bypasses all CID checks. I was pretty sure already as this was the case on my OneXL, but for the sake of giving the correct information, I just restored a Rogers TWRP backup, flashed rogers stock recovery extracted from the rogers OTA, changed my CID to 11111111 and ran the OTA from stock recovery.

Ran just fine.

on another note I am new to this whole root thing and was wondering about going back to stock or at least a step by step way to get the ota update on my rooted m8. I can't seem to find it on the forum, I very well could be blind lol so I apologize
thank you
What you need to do an OTA:
Stock Recovery
Stock Rom
Stock CID or SuperCID
Can I keep root!?!? Yes, you can!
As it stands there is no RUU (Rom Update Utility) to easily return to stock SO If one does not have the stock rom installed, one must restore a stock nandroid and manually flash stock recovery/
Stock Rom Nandroid backups and Recoveries courtesy of Mr Hofs
This collection assumes you know your CID. If you don't know it, check it! Boot to fastboot then use the command: fastboot oem readcid
What can you do if you don't have your nandroid and it isn't listed there? You can request someone from the same carrier with a stock nandroid upload theirs within that thread.
Once you have the nandroid, it's simply a matter of putting the nandroid in the appropriate folder for your custom recovery, booting to said recovery and restoring the nandroid.
Where nandroids should be placed:
TWRP: \sdcard\TWRP\backups\
Philz Touch: \sdcard\clockworkmod\backups\
Once you have the nandroid restored, you will need to flash stock recovery. If you know the stock recovery version you should be using, you can download them on that same thread. It is also possible to extract the recovery from the OTA zip file should you have access to it. (You can use the stock rom you restored to download the OTA then extract it and the firmware.zip file within and then flash the recovery.img)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then you can boot to stock recovery and flash the OTA.zip
Boot to bootloader
Select Recovery
You'll get a picture on your screen
Press and hold volume up and then press power
You will be presented with a menu
Select apply update from internal storage and then select the OTA Zip file in the downloads folder.
All done.

I never tried it with Super CID, to install an OTA.
In the most Tutorials that I've found it was recommended to set the original CID.
But good to Know that it works.
At least it's safer to set the original CID, in that case.

I am on SuperCID and flashed everything to 1.54.401.5.
Everything stock.
I tried flashing the OTA.zip from stock recovery but I get an error
"assert failed: check_mid("full", "0P6B100000" == "t".
I have the Asia 2.5GHZ version and the MID is "0P6B11000" but wanted to run full EU WWE and get the updates there.
Does the stock recovery check for ModelID as well?
Is there something I can do, like change my model ID? Can you please point me to a link on how to do it? Thanks.

What you need to do an OTA:
Stock Recovery
Stock Rom
Stock CID or SuperCID
Can I keep root!?!? Yes, you can!
As it stands there is no RUU (Rom Update Utility) to easily return to stock SO If one does not have the stock rom installed, one must restore a stock nandroid and manually flash stock recovery/
Stock Rom Nandroid backups and Recoveries courtesy of Mr Hofs
This collection assumes you know your CID. If you don't know it, check it! Boot to fastboot then use the command: fastboot oem readcid
What can you do if you don't have your nandroid and it isn't listed there? You can request someone from the same carrier with a stock nandroid upload theirs within that thread.
Once you have the nandroid, it's simply a matter of putting the nandroid in the appropriate folder for your custom recovery, booting to said recovery and restoring the nandroid.
Where nandroids should be placed:
TWRP: \sdcard\TWRP\backups\
Philz Touch: \sdcard\clockworkmod\backups\
Once you have the nandroid restored, you will need to flash stock recovery. If you know the stock recovery version you should be using, you can download them on that same thread. It is also possible to extract the recovery from the OTA zip file should you have access to it. (You can use the stock rom you restored to download the OTA then extract it and the firmware.zip file within and then flash the recovery.img)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then you can boot to stock recovery and flash the OTA.zip
Boot to bootloader
Select Recovery
You'll get a picture on your screen
Press and hold volume up and then press power
You will be presented with a menu
Select apply update from internal storage and then select the OTA Zip file in the downloads folder.
All done.

Firstly you don't need to relock the bootloder to flash an ota.
From what I can see from looking at the updater script in the ota it checks CID and MID. The CID and MID for various models seem to be listed in the updater script. If yours isn't there then it it will fail.
From what I can see it doesnt seem like a particular CID or MID is required, just one listed in the updater script.
Not sure if you can modify an updater script in a signed ota and it still work or not.

As far as I know, you can't receive a OTA Update with Super CID 111111.
It won't flash, because of the "android-info" in the OTA Update File.
The "android-Info" contains the CID that can receive the OTA, otherwise it won't flash. to avoid that the device receives a wrong OTA.
You must set it to the original Provider CID that matches with your Stock ROM.
In your case, I think:
modelid: 0P6B16000
cidnum: TELUS001

I left mine on Super CID and was able to flash the OTA. I've also read reports of others who have been able to flash the OTA after only going back to the stock recovery, however I went through the process of relocking my bootloader and insuring all "bloat" apps were restored (this was on an AT&T variant though).
Well tired doing this again but it fails, umm says cid unknown in the recovery screen when try I to flash the ota, tired changing my cid to original and to supercid, still same.thing, don't know what I am doing wrong
I also tried going back to stock and running the update but says it Won't install since it thinks the phone is rooted

So I cannot flash ota, lost s-off and would like to go back to stock for now, and tried flashing several ways to get stock software back but nothing is working

Incorrect, SuperCID bypasses all CID checks. I was pretty sure already as this was the case on my OneXL, but for the sake of giving the correct information, I just restored a Rogers TWRP backup, flashed rogers stock recovery extracted from the rogers OTA, changed my CID to 11111111 and ran the OTA from stock recovery. As per my sig, I am not even using a rogers phone.
Ran just fine.

Really? This is terrific info. Not that I care to do any type of OTA, (why bother? It'll be on XDA in a couple of minutes lol) but it is something to remember. I didn't realize the Super CID was that expansive. I did realize that it allowed you to use your phone on any carrier though, so I probably should have picked up on that.
I have no idea what to do here.
I had an RUU converted GPE device and I need to convert to 100% stock. I used RUU to flash the stock bootloader and change CID to 11111111.
I also reverted to S-ON.
I didn't install a Sense rom and now I'm stuck with GPE that is stuck in Safe Mode. All I have is Fastboot since the recovery is back to stock as well.
So what I have is:
Stock bootloader
S-ON
Stock recovery
GPE rom still installed
Formatted internal SD
I am completely stumped on what to do. Is my device bricked? I have to return it to HTC soon and all I have is Fastboot. I was wondering if I could flash the stock ATT img files using Fastboot, but all I have found are .zips and Nandroid backups.

There is a post in the general forum about returning to sense after applying a GPE RUU. Follow it to the letter and it will get you back to sense, worked for me. Saying that my device was working fine so no idea if the post will be any help but I'm sure someone will be able to help if the post doesn't work.

Thanks. I eventually figured it out. I flashed the stock recovery using Fastboot, booted into recovery, and did a full wipe. Then I flashed TWRP via Fastboot and did an advanced wipe including /system, but not internal SD. I then went back into Fastboot, flashed the boot.img from the AT&T rom (because I had S-ON), then I went back into TWRP and flashed the rom. Booted fine and now I have sense!
I wrote this out in detail in case anyone else ran into the same problem.
