[Q] Change HTC Rom from Asia to Australia?

Hello,
I recently got an HTC One X (from Kogan) but it's international stock, which means it comes with Asia firmware. Not a BIG deal, but i'd like to change the language from Singapore to Australia and remove over 15 carrier apps from Asia.
I updated the phone 3 times and am on version 2.17.707.3
I have no problem rooting, unlocking the bootloader (HTCDev.com) or installing clockwork recovery. I know how to do itt i just need the official HTC One X Australia ROM (Optus).
I want a ROM that is a genuine HTC one and that will be updated in the future.
Can anyone point me to one?
Thanks, Danz207

You can only install RUUs which match your CID number - in your case it's probably not OPTUS001 like mine since you bought it overseas.
About the bloatware, you can remove them using Titanium backup or ROM Cleaner, just remember to backup.

Can i still install an official rom though? Is just basically installing another rom over this one, i dont see the big deal?

Any custom rom defaults to WWE with all languages so why not get better performance out of IC or ARHD

Hi Dan I live in Sydney and Im thinking about getting the HOX from Kogan too. Can you please share your experience purchasing the phone from Kogan? I need a phone ASAP since I just cancelled my contract w Vodafone but I'm not sure if I should purchase the HOX from an online retailer (it's so much cheaper though) since the HOX has a lot of hardware issues (still prefer it over Samsung) and I dont want to have to send it overseas for 2 3 weeks if something happens (Im a smartphone addict xD). What a shame I need to get a phone quickly otherwise I would wait for the HOX+ hoping they will have fixed all the hardware related issues by then.

I was going to do the same
I also live in sydney, and purchase my hox from kogan, but I ended up getting it from eglobaldigitalcameras.com.au
it came with the taiwan bloatware. the preferred way I got rid of it was install ARHD.,
from memory the price was $50 cheaper then kogan, but that was because i had purchased from them before.

How did you root it/change boot loader. I have the same phone on 2.17.707.3 and I went through HTCDev but every time i try to upload the information they emailed me it says cant send the file and reboots but not root.

I just unlocked using HTCDev and installed ClockworkMod and its been smooth sailing for me.

Question about OTA updates...

I have a O2 UK branded hox, which i've unlocked and use on Tesco Mobile's network (actually uses O2 network) but just wondering if I would still receive OTA updates if I revert back to stock, as it was my understanding they were pushed out by the network providers?

Yes you can still receive OTA updates if you revert back to stock .

The phone checks HTC servers for updates using the Internet. It has nothing to do with the provider.

Correct. It's the software build you're using that determines the updates. For example, if you're running x.xx.61.x (Orange UK) and you don't change this bar using a different SIM card you'll only get update that have x.xx.61.x in it

Thanks guys just gotta figure out how to put it back to stock now....

What HBOOT are you on? If you're on an earlier one you might be able to get away with the 1.2x RUU but if you had the 2.17.61.x OTA update recently I believe you're stuck as that RUU hasn't surfaced yet

0.96 is my hboot

Pretty sure the existing Orange UK RUU will do the job for stock in that case, then

If you've not unlocked/rooted/gone custom at all it's very simple! Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and make a note of the build number, e.g. 2.17.401.2
THEN see if it's available for download. In this case, it is...

Ok thats the one I have thanks, just need to figure out which boot img to flash as there are 2 on the guide i read 1.26 or 2.17 or something

Take the boot.img from the RUU...although you don't need to if you're going to flash the RUU. All you have to do is relock the bootloader and run it when the phone is in fastboot mode - it'll put it back to 100% stock

Many thanks, just found my original Nandroid too should I need it

Cheers bud, theres so many terms etc for Android, RUU, Endevour etc etc, some of them are just tricky to get your head round

Endeavoru is the HTC codename for the One X, in the same way Pyramid is the Sensation

Ahhh, thanks for that info mate much appreciated.

Managed to do it by restoring my original nandroid I did as soon as I unlocked the bootloader, at first it was boot looping but i flashed the boot.img from nandroid and it is fine, ota showed the 4.0.4 update immediately and managed to download it, now back onto arhd 9.7.2 so at least I know I can get back, will just have to relock it next time and flash stock recovery. will just have to figure out which recovery would be needed.

You don't need to relock to install OTA.

[Q] Updating my HTC One M8

Hey guys,
I've been searching but couldn't find anything that really helps with my problem. I bought an HTC One M8 last year, it was supposed to be unlocked from factory but when it arrived it turned out it was an unlocked AT&T model. Anyways so I tried to root the phone but it was already rooted and running a TWRP (I don't know how this happened as the phone was sealed when I got it) I have no problem with this but as the phone is rooted and doesn't have the stock recovery I can't get any OTA and I'm still in 4.4.2. I was wondering if any of you guys could help me update my device to stock 5.0.1 without flashing a custom ROM.
Thanks

First off, there is no stock 5.0.1 for the AT&T version yet. There isn't even a 4.4.4 released yes (although it might be anytime soon).
Further, you aren't going to receive any OTAs since you aren't connected to the AT&T network. Some folks not specifically familiar with AT&T will disagree, saying the OTAs will come over WiFi even if not connected to the specific carrier. But AT&T is pretty unique in this regard (well, maybe other carriers in the US do it too, but not WWE versions).
You can download an official RUU to upgrade to 4.4.3. Then wait for RUUs to be posted for 4.4.4 and/or 5.0.1. That is all you can do at this time without s-off. With s-off, you can convert to any version you want, and get official OTAs that way (such as convert to WWE version), or run the US Developer's Edition 5.0 RUU.

Excuse me but what is WWE exactly? Ok so my two options are use sunshine to make my htc s-off and convert to another version or flash a custom rom with 5.0.1?
Thanks for your help.

World Wide English. Which doesn't really say much. Its the "international" version sold in Europe and other places.

Nope, your second option won't work. You need firmware on your phone that is compatible with 5.0.1, otherwise WiFi will be broken, and.or extreme long boot times (>10 minutes). And the only way to update your firmware is with s-off (until AT&T releases more updates).
So really, if you want to update now, your only option is s-off.

Ok dude, thanks for your help. I guess I'll have to s-off

If you want to update now, that is what I suggest. I don't see LP coming to AT&T for another month at least, and it might be even longer than that (months). We're still waiting for 4.4.4.
Be sure to check bootloader and confirm if its s-on or s-off (says one or the other near the top of the hboot screen). Since it was already rooted and bootloader unlocked, who knows, you might have lucked out and gotten a phone that is already s-off as well.

Yeah and like you said if I'm not connected to the AT&T network I might never get the update so it is the only option. BTW I checked and it's S-On =(
Thanks for your help.

Orange/ EE UK - OTA status

hi everyone
Been searching without much success for this.
I am on a custom ROM and ideally do not want to return to stock simply to see if the OTA from Orange UK has been issued yet.
I am look any 1.4x or 2.7 firmware for:
mid: 0PJA10000
cid: ORANG001
thanks

Your in the same position i was a week ago.. except Im now s-off, with an unlocked bootloader. EE UK release the updates when they are good and ready and are known for being very VERY slow.. I got so tired of waiting I converted my M9 to HTC__001 WWE, and got the updates OTA. If you want the update now and on release day, thats what you have to do.
So far as I know, 1.40 is the newest update available here in the UK and it wouldnt surprise me if EE UK didnt wait until 5.1 gets released before they release another update, but thats just guessing.
Hope that helps

Looks like i will go s-off as the current EE firmware leaves much to be desired even though i am running MaximusHD, currently without any issues.

I'm still on 1.32.61.15 on my EE M9. I'm planning to root and s-off when European 5.1 OTA updates appear as there's no way I'm waiting for over a month after for EE to pull their finger out and push it.

I too decided not to wait on EE as after being sent from pillar to post by their customer service reps (most of whom don't actually know that the update to 1.40 exists) and reading on their android forums that they are notorious for very late OTA's, I took the plunge and did the whole s-off and unlock thing and changed my CID to HTC__001 and flashed the associated stock rom. Literally seconds after setup, the OTA showed up and installed.
I will no longer be at the mercy of EE's appalling customer service in regards to OTA's, and for anybody else waiting for this update on EE, I suggest you do the same!
BTW 1.40 is a HUGE improvement on the previous firmware, its almost like a different handset!!!

I misunderstood or install custom rom on orang 001 cid, firmware orange uk?
and I am stuck on orange uk firmware 2.10.61.6 with cid 001and S- on, I want to know if I could unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and then root him. The radio version of mine is 1144601, is sim unlock. if it is possible to install custom rom even if it was on, what would it be?
If I want to return to the official version 1.32.61.xx, with another radio versaiune somehow locks sim card? I use it in another country and another network than Orange UK.
please give me some advice, thanks a lot

If the cid and mid match your device and software version then you CAN use the ruu.
You CANNOT downgrade with s-on. You CANNOT flash any other version of software with s-on.
Basically you can flash your current firmware or later via ruu but only if it matches your device.

Need help updating phone... H3G User.

Im on the same version of Android since i got the phone, the bootloader is unlocked with S-ON and it has been working fine since i got it. I heard 5.1 had been released, is there a H3G RUU for the new version or can i use the Europeon one.. my CID Num is H3G__001.
Because i am rooted it says it cant check for updates, can anyone tell me what i can do?
I thought about restoring the original software RUU and then updating, but what if my service provider hasnt released the update, unless their is another H3G M9 user on the forum who can tell me different.
Thanks.

Your best bet is to S-OFF, then Super CID. After you have done that just restore the newest WWE RUU. That way you're on the latest version and can continue to receive any new updates a lot sooner - none of that waiting for the network to release the update. Especially with marshmallow round the corner.

Other than the way you stated not really. If you don't want to go S-OFF then you'll need to restore stock and update, then root again.

Hey there buddy.
What the chance you backed up your stock H3G recovery.
I flashed TWRP and forgot to take a backup, now can't flash the update.
I posted in this forum asking in anyone had the UK H3G stock recovery but no answers.
Cheers.
