Here you go mate, thanks for providing your CID you are all good to go, here you go:
Firstly you will need to download the rom you wish to use and this tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003
(this is the mutt's nuts, the dog's bollox, the Jap's baps or whatever, its great)
You will firstly need to put the rom zip on your sdcard
Then boot your phone into fastboot
Then use the tool in the link above This will flash the firmware you need and also boot.img for the rom you want to install. Just unzip the download, put the boot.img in the root of that unzipped folder and then execute the bat file. It will talk you through what its doing.
After that, boot into recovery and flash the rom

Oh yeah you will also need to put the unlock token you originally used in with the boot.img

[Q] JB OTA update fails on rooted Vodafone One X

Hello guys,
I have a HTC One X from Vodafone, rooted, unlocked, stock rom, custom recovery, and today (FINALLY ) I received the OTA update to Jelly Bean.
I downloaded it and tried to install it using the custom recovery but it was failing on some assert. I guessed that it was because of the recovery so I flashed back the stock recovery and tried to install; fail again.
Went online and found the directory for the update log and saw an entry saying that there was a problem trying to verify the stock Dropbox apk that comes with the phone and that is placed on /system/apps. I read somewhere that if you modify something on the stock apks the OTA would fail, and unfortunatelly I did, I flashed the Galaxy S3 Dropbox apk on my phone, but that's not the problem, the problem is that I deleted the flashed Dropbox and the stock Dropbox from /system/apps without knowing it and the OTA is still failing.
My guess is that if I can flash the stock Dropbox apk to /system/apps, the OTA will try to verify it and will succeed, and therefore I'll have finally Jelly Bean on my branded device (as I said, is just a guess) so if someone could please send me the stock Dropbox apk, the one located in /system/apps as well as any other file located there that could possibly be related to Dropbox app, it will be very very appreciated.
If you guys think that I'm missing something here and even after flashing the stock Dropbox apk the OTA will still fail for some karma related reasons, please let me know and help me out.
If you need any other info from my phone let me know too.
If you need the .zip file with the official update from Vodafone I have it too.
Thanks in advance.
TO update OTA you SHOULD HAVE ONLY stock recovery and STOCK boot.img(kernel) ..and this way everything will be ok.

Well yes I have stock recovery (replaced the custom recovery yesterday) and stock kernel, I haven't changed the kernel yet, and according to the log the problem is with Dropbox. I'll try to find it and paste it here so you guys can see it.
Thanks.
Just flash the RUU, update OTA and reroot.
Alright, will do and I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks

I have exactly the same problem and I dont know what to do!
I'd like to just flash the Android Revolution HD JB ROM but im scared of bricking my phone and there is no easy guide to accomplish this - the guides ive seen on youtube are for other ROMS...
So, now that JB is out OTA for my stock ROM I want to update to it but I get stuck...
All ive done is unlock my bootloader - Ive never even flashed a custom ROM!
Wish I'd never done it now...way too complex

If you only unlocked the bootloader the update should run fine !!! If it fails you did change some more !

I think they're right, if I hadn't touched the system apps then I think the update would work, having only unlocked and rooted. Right after you try to install the update, go to /cache/recovery/ and check the logs for any clues on why the update is failing.
I'll try flashing the RUU for my phone, then applying the OTA and the rerooting as suggested, maybe you should try the same.
And rule number 1 after flashing cwm custom recovery is
always do a nandroid backup from the stock rom ! Now you know why its important.so when you go to JB and start rooting and running custom roms.....do the nandroid backup to avoid these situations !

I unlocked the bootloader (HTCDev)
I flashed CWR...
That was it (I am running a different launcher but that makes no different right??)
How do I get the RUU for Vodafone UK? Is that the stock ROM? Sorry, I am not very good with this stuff...I was okay at rooting my Desire HD but this is another level

You need to flash the stock recovery !
Do this command
Fastboot getvar version-main
If a number pops up starting with 2.17 you need to flash back this recovery

And yes you did more than just unlock the bootloader, be specific .... it's necessary for this phone otherwise it gets confusing !

But I still have the stock ROM. I never flashed a custom ROM. I wanted to flash a JB rom, thats why i rooted...then I discovered that my CID was not capable of getting a JB ROM so I just left it rooted but on stock voda ROM...
Doesn't matter .... Did u read my post above yours ....
Last time .....
You need stock rom,stock kernel, STOCK RECOVERY....not the custom cwm recovery. That's why the update fails. :thumbup:

Yes, I thought i flashed stock before but am about to confirm
The goal after unlocking the bootloader is to flash a custom recovery to flash different roms.....therefore i doubt u flashed the stock recovery.....unlocking the bootloader and flashing a stock recovery doesn't make sense

Yes, sorry - i did read it and it did say 2.17xxx...I downloaded the recovery you pointed me to but expect i need to re-unlock the bootloader. (I re-locked it before thinking that was causing the issue...)
Anyway, soon I should know if this works
By the way, I really appreciate you helping me - i've been trying to sort this out all evening!

There is a good chance you are correct. The file in my fastboot folder said recovery and I assumed it was what I was after but it may have been connected to something that I was told to download in the unlocking process (I followed a guide on Youtube by a chap called cursed4eva)
I'm reunlocking the bootloader now because I got an error wh3n i tried to flash that recovery img. "writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------
Okay - so I
1/ reunlocked the bootloader which basically wiped the phone back to its initialt state all be it with an unlocked bootloader.
2/ once again completed the OTA download of Vodafone Jellybean for the One X
3/ flashed the 2.17 recovery img that Marcel provided
4/ tried to update
5/ am currently looking at a download / progress bar! (YESSSS!)
6/ am hoping this works!
Thanks a lot Marcel. I very much appreciate your patience!

I already have the RUU for my phone, and I was planning to follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660807
But I was thinking, what if I flash only the system.img instead of all the 3 files? I already have the stock recovery (the one you provided) and I've never changed the boot.img so I still have the stock one.
What about if I flash the system.img only, and then try the OTA update? Do you think that would work?
Thanks for the help.
Yes you can try that, the phone is already wiped with unlocking the bootloader, i never tried it. But in logical terms it is possible yes. If doesn't work you can always run the complete ruu !
That's weird, I'm getting error 00000006 when trying to flash the system.img.
Reading on other posts that's related to the size of the file, which is around 1 GB. If I can't flash the system.img I think I wont be able to run the entire RUU either.
Do you know a way to bypass this error?

Want to go back to offical rom

you cant update when you are on unlocked bootloader, you need to relocked first.

You need to relock only when going to use SUS/PCC. Flashtool, no need.
yeah , but he is asking that he cant update his phone even though it prompts him with new firmware available.

Strange Problem With ARC LT15i.

I was installing Custom Rom to Stocked LT15i with (Bootloader Status Allowed = YES) phone And i faced a strange problem that I never faced before. Below is detail of my problem
1. I Installed Stock 4.0.4 Stock ICS Firmware Via Flashtool before it was on same 4.0.4 but its was updated via PCC.
2. I Try to unlock its bootloader from official site i got the key and try to unlock but Fastboot command said its already unlocked bootloader. So I head to next step.
3. I rooted it with Prerooted kernel image. name ARC Autoroot v1 its worked fine.
4. I installed ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2 via batch command provided but a user in this section. worked fine.
5. Now Problem is Any Custom rom i want to install from CWM its give me (satus 7) eroor. I preceded steps 1 to 5 again n again but same error.
6. I tried all the solution for Error status 7 provided by user but no luck. like build.prop and removing some script.
one thing i noticed its IMEI start with 01 m not sure it is the cause. Let me know what is the easiest way to install custom rom to it. Its belong to my friend.
(I am able to flash any kernel )
I search all the night but didn't find solution so i ask.

Not sure what you've been searching for - status 7 error xperia arc
You need to flash compatible kernel for the custom ROM you are trying to flash.For example, when you download CM10 ROM, kernel boot.img is included in that rom zip. First we install compatilbe kernel(boot.img in case of CM10) and install rom zip from CWM.
Download and install CM 10 just to make sure you are doing it right.But first flash kernel first.

Tried LT18i Rom same issue, MIUI+ Kernel, Cynogen + Kernel, Pac + recommend Kernel, Other + Kernel. I can't say its Internal Memory Problem coz i can flash stock smoothly.
And when i flash Cynogenmod Kernel its CWM not let me use SD Card say can't found SD card.

htc one m8 "variant system version" !!!!

i have htc one m8 unbranded ... i bought it with nocturnal software !! it weird but i go back to stock using ruu "t-mobile" version cause i didn't find the unbranded version ... now after download the new ota update 4.4.4 eye ... i got message
"variant system version" >> you are running a modified version,.. for protection cannot update, plz revert to htc software system
the screenshot attach.
my current info:
locked bootloader
S-OFF
CID:11111111
plz help me XDA :fingers-crossed:
If you a custom recovery, or xposed, or have altered/removed any system apps, the Ota will fail.
You are s-off and super CID. Why not just flash the new firmware manually?
See the "flashing firmware without the panic attacks" guide in development section. ?
thank you sir .. flash firmware will get me to stock and update ota with no problem or what ??
btw which firmware to download ... or my super cid will accept any firmware number !!!
my now software no. 2.22.531.6 not in the "flashing firmware without the panic attacks" ??
am sry just changed from iphone, and i barely understand you

Don't do it!
Seriously, do not go stock. Just unlock your bootloader (can you be s off and supercid without? I never knew).
Once you do that, you can flash firmware from any carrier, then flash any updated ROM for that version.
You will never have to wait for carrier updates.
If you go stock, you will always be playing catch-up.
yes am sure of that am "locked" "S-oFF" and "CID:11111111" but i don't understand what a firmware will do to me !!!!!
but i understand this: unlock the bootloader ,,, then i will download any firmware with any number ?? really ? .. then download any custom rom ? like viper one...
and then if i do that i will recive 4.4.4 updates without any problems ? i think NO, custom roms prevent ota updates, so i have to check the sites of the rom from time to time to update ??
thank you
ex *i can't get viper one 3 rom untill updated to 4.4.4
Flashing firmware will not return you to stock But flashing the latest firmware will allow you to flash the latest version of roms that require the new firmware.
---------- Post added at 07:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------
But how can you have a custom recovery (to flash roms) if you didn't unlock user bootloader?
I'm confused. Lol
If you can find a stock backup, you can restore that to get back to stock, then flash your stock recovery.
Again, Need the custom recovery to use the backup tho.

Well it looks like to me that you'll be in the same situation as me. And that is that the easiest and probably quickest way we'll get L, is to flash a custom L Sense Rom. Or Aosp if you prefer that. And we'll be able to do that, cause we're s-off and Super CID. ?
Will likely need to update firmware for L too. Which again is simple with Super CID.
So, for right now, you do need to unlock your bootloader to flash a custom recovery. My vote is twrp. You need to do this to flash a 4.4.4 rom.
Also, you need to be on the latest firmware for the 4.4.4 roms.
All that said, if you want to wait and get the L OTA... You need to be stock and I believe you need your original CID to receive the Ota. I could be wrong on that. I've never done an ota on my M8...any device actually. I've always manually flashed new versions or used Roms. ?
So for now unlock bootloader and get the latest firmware then flash 4.4.4 rom ?? Where did i find that 4.4.4 rom ??

Depends on your model/carrier which roms you use.... But in the development sections.
And firmware needs to be current or there will be issues on 4.4.4 roms.
The "flashing firmware without the panic attacks" thread in the general m8 development section will help you update. ?
Am unbranded international single sim .. give ne any link to the roms 4.4.4 and be greatful
Lots of roms here... I never recommend particular roms...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development
Read the first post to see about it, and decide what you like.
Backup what you have in recovery first... Then follow the rom install instructions. That's it.

You need the firmware, that's all. Then you can install Viperone's 4.4.4. That's what I'm running.
And you don't have to unlock the bootloader. Just flash the new firmware and then flash the ROM.
You can get firmware downloads, and instructions on how to flash them here.
This method is the safest.

There's nothing to be afraid of. As long as you follow instructions well, you will never have a problem.

How can i remove root without using Magisk ?

Hi guys,
I rooted my phone using the first method (flashing patched boot on A and B).
The problem is that magisk disappeared from my phone and i was wondering how can i remove root and have the original firmware again.

I flashed original boot img but OTA still doesn't apply.
The only solution might be to flash stock rom 9.4.0 (July) using MI flash tool but i'm afraid that It isn't possible to do it
Installed org boot with A/B?
Did u modify system partition? Like build.prop OR something?
If nothing works you must try using MI Flash tool with the stock ROM

I would like to keep data
Connect the Phone to the pc via USB in the flash tool must say "refresh" once you click refresh must apear your device with de adb/fastboot id. Then click select, choose the folder you've downloadwd, then click flash. Now wait until the flash tool says "flashed".
After that your Phone must have stock ROM ready for OTA. If you want to keep magisk i'll recomend you to follow BubuXp guide to install magisk with proper support for OTA's

Thank you very much, i will do it tomorrow.
One lady question, i saw that the rom is 9.4 while my device is running 9.6.
Is this a problem ?
There's no problem it will flash everything a leave the device with stock ROM, i recomend you to use the first way, you will lose the data, but I think is better, anyway i think both methods will lock the bootloader, so anyway you will lose the data, make backup and If u need something tell me.
Good luck, LB
