Hello I recently acquired an HTC One X unit. It is rooted as I received is as it is running ICS ViperX rom
I checked the CID and it gave me T-MOB005
Can I flash an official stock JB ROM on it? and how. can you recommend guides since there is a lot of guide here. I don't know where to start
You must flash back to stock and have stock recovery and then wait for the official OTA release by T-mobile. Before you ask, NO ONE except your carrier will know the release date. You got no other choice than to wait.
stay with viperx for the meantime.:good:
Same boat as me with that cid expect it next year

For official jb update you need to go back to stock recovery and stock room and also you should relock your boot loader.
Search for jb flasher tool and quit after relocking boot loader.

OK, I've been reading through the forums and everyone is always talking about how to update my phone with OTA update.
My question is, Is it really necessary? If after the update all I'm gonna do again is unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery and flash a custom ROM.
Nah...only for those who is on stock ROM only so it get the benefit of the enhancement made by HTC.
I have another One V use by my wife, never updated with either RUU or OTA as that One V is using myONEv ROM
Its hboot still 1.16
That is all I wanted to hear! Thanks for the clarification!
Hi,
I've installed the Maximus ROM and it's cool.
I know that now I can't return to the Stock Rom just because I can't downgrade the HBoot.
But...when Jelly Bean stock rom will be release for every HOX devices, will I be able to lock the bootloader and install the official Jelly Bean update?
Thanks for your answers
yes when a RUU is released for JB you would be able to install it
When you get a stock backup with stock recovery and boot.img you can get official OTA's for JB
Relocking of the bootloader is not necessarily needed in the last option.

You need stock recovery as well as ruu to get ota's? I'm on android version 4.03 as u just installed stock ruu for my device. Is there an official update to 4.04 yet? If I put the stock revcovery on as well as I still have cwm installed will I get the ota?

you need also stock recovery to install the official OTAs, but if you install that you will lose CWM recovery

Read your other post in my thread. Lost cwm anyway because of installing ruu. The update just came up a while ago so have no idea why it wouldn't earlier. All is good. Just wish my g sensor would work

so im on Android Revolution HD 17.1 with hboot 1.31 can i use a 4.0.4 ruu to get back to stock
hi guy my HTC one x device is HTC_044
I am using custom rom and i dont wish to restore my phone to stock just for JB update it is possible for me just upgrade the hboot to 1.36 than try any custom JB rom which available at XDA currently ?
Thousand sorry first if this question been ask before.
Yeah, you just need to remember the relock the bootloader before flashing new firmware.
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:
CASE CLOSED !
Hello! N00b here!
I have a pretty unique problem. When I got my One X, I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it and installed a custom recovery (CWM).
Now that Jelly Bean is out for the One X, I flashed the stock recovery and need further help on obtaining the stock ROM(or RUU?) and flashing it.
I was way more comfortable with these procedures with my Galaxy S. I can't figure out these HTC terms, for the life of me.
My phone's CID is HTC__038 if that helps.
Do I need to re-lock the bootloader to revert back to a stock JB ROM?

basicly if you follow this thread [11.02.2013] Jelly Bean firmware collection for different Carriers ID (CID) it will guide you how to do what you want to abtain, basicly this will help you update you hboot to a jb compatible hboot so you can flash a custon jb rom
EDIT: or even use this thread [TOOL] JB FW Easy Flasher & Fastboot Toolkit *Update Dec21* hboot 1.31/1.33/1.36/1.39 may be easier for you
