Hi guys.
I have a HTC One X and I received the update for Android 4.1.1. My phone is already rooted.
But every time I hit the update button, it restarts and goes to ClockworkMod Recovery.
I don't know what else to do.
Ps: my HBOOT version is 1.12.

Can't you just read around before starting a thread with a common problem most people already solved in various threads? Flash the goddamn stock recovery, which you woulda done if you freaking read.

Hi, thank you for the response.
I have a few questions:
1) How did you make your backup? I used the Titanium, but I think it only works when the device is rooted. Not sure, I can't remember.
2) I got the boot.img from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920060 since the link you sent is in German. I also found the required file Unlock_code.bin in my computer. So I believe it's missing the Jelly Bean ROM. Where can I find it?
There were some options like:
Android Revolution HD - by Mike1986.
BINDROID XTC - by DutchDanny
Blade - by theDroidfanatic
HTC One MaXimus - by Football
InsertCoin - by Baadnewz
OrDroidX - by Shnizlon
Renovate - by mwilky
SkyDragon - by dragonesdenano
But all of them are unofficial, am I not correct?
3) Still, I'm a bit lost. Firstly, I have to update to HBOOT. And after install the Jelly Bean?
Hoping for your patience, I thank you again in advance.

Ask all of your questions in here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714
and then this can be locked to keep the forum tidy. The questions your asking show you haven't read much about it. I'm not having a go its just so you don't do anything daft and end up with a brick.
Basically backup your stuff and find the correct ruu for your phone. Then relock bootloader and then run ruu. Once you've done that your phone should update fine through ota to jelly bean.

I tried to follow the steps written in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920060 but it gets to a point I can't go any further because there are some informations missing or some info that you think I should already know about them.
I got a message that I could upgrade my system to 3.14.401.27, and there is a option to select install now. After selecting it, the system automatically reboots and gets to a screen of Clockworkmod, showing also the message "finding update package... E: unkown volume for path [etc etc etc]. installation aborted."
I though the intallation would be fully automatic (with the hboot also). I don't know if it's a issue with the clockworkmod, related the error message.
I'm not trying to install a version non-official of android. It seems to be the official release made by HTC.
Yes, I tried following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714 but still no ideas.
With all due respect, I don't understand why there are some people who expect the users to run through all the messages that already exist in the forum. We are talking about thousands of messages. I am also a member of a e-mail group for pc hardware technical issues and I have no problem of re-explaining things there.
I don't understand why people lose their time to answer me here by not answering my questions or clarifying things.
I don't want to be rude or something like that, but if you (no matter who) are not going to write something helpful towards my questions, please don't lose your time by complaining about my questions (just ignore me). I personally prefer receiving no answer than this.
You need stock recovery.

If u are S-OFF then u can downgrade to 2.36 by using the RUU version then root ur device,

Trivial Question
I have a trivial question, I am very interested in rooting using this method, however I have recently encountered an issue with my stock rom ever since I did the OTA update to 2.43.611.1 The issue is HTC Sence has stopped unexpectedly window pops up quite often & in talking to telus my provider & HTC them selves, they both say the phone needs to be repaired,
My question since I encountered the problem immediatly upon doing the OTA update should I get it repaired first or just try rooting to see if that fixes it.
Also if possible can I be pointed in the direction of how to return to stock Telus if I end up rooting & the probelm still persists?
My thanks to thoes who have diligently be working & involved in helping others & myself reach root status on higher Build numbers.
Great Work!

The reason you're getting the error after the ota update is the same reason why people get issues after installing custom roms and not wiping their device... the old cache and user data conflicts with the update.
Downgrading and then flashing a custom rom along with flashing an updated radio will remedy the problem. I dont believe you'll want to use the initial radio release, I highly recommend flashing the radio from the 2.52 korean release to your Telus DHD, along with the ril's from that release and replacing the ones in the rom you will flash via cwm recovery. ENG S-OFF is required to flash a new radio or recovery img.
Once you downgrade, you can always return to the stock 2.43.661.1 rom. There is a thread in the Desire HD/Inspire 4G Forum on Driphter.com where I've placed the RUU's of common builds (especially for Telus and AT&T). If returning the device for warranty purposes, you must Radio S-On prior to Installing the stock rom via the RUU. The RUU Itself will set ENG to SHIP, and unroot.
Excellent, Greatly appreciated.
Might try rooting as soon as tonight. Kind of excited to have a functional device again!
I am glad that it worked, i thought OH **** the other day, when i found out that i shouldn't have updated to 2.50, if i was about to root..
Big thanks to you JSL, nice work, and easy tuturial!!
I can see that in /HTC ACE TOOLKIT
is a splash screen changer, and a boot animation changer.. how do i use them?
Cheers guys I will try that downgrade guide. Just a note though. The file fize of the version of HTC Sync for the Desire HD I'm downloading is 66.6MB. I hope that isn't an omen for this to go horrendously wrong

Hi guys. Sorry if this is similar to another question in these Q&A sections but i've gone through so many threads that i'm sick to the bones and ready to blow.
I have the original HTC Desire S-LCD model (slightly slower people, please note it is NOT the S, Z or HD, you don't know how many times this happens) and i used the official update for 2.3.3 gingerbread from the HTC developer site. The thing is though, it's very buggy and the lack of space is annoying me. I managed to get S-Off and install Revolutionary recovery onto it.
(HBOOT version says 6.93.1002 (not sure why it has the 6 part) and it says "Bravo PVT3 Ship S-Off")
I tried using root programs but none of them worked on it. To flash another ROM do i have to root it or can i just flash from this stage? Also what ROM would you guys reccommend? I'm wanting one with the new sense 3.0 or even the HTC Desire S ROM with sense 2.1 and apps2sd. I'm constantly uninstalling and reinstalling apps co its always almost full.
Again, sorry if this is unneccessary spam that has been asked before but i'm tired, confused, sick and annoyed.
Thanks, Huzi.
And please for the love of god don't tell me to use the search bar. At least link me. Please?
You can get some cool ROMS here: http://www.cooldevs.com/ that include upto sense 3.5!
New ROM has be flashed from recovery. Always follow installation instructions when you flash a new rom. To find a good one, check the developers thread.
A good beginnersguide can be found here on XDA (Sticky in General section).
Swyped from ICS with Transparent XDA App
reboot into recovery (either through the bootloader, or by adb reboot recovery).
If you just get an exclamation mark in a triangle, you need to flash recovery. Look at my guide.
If you have a custom recovery, backup your rom (it's pretty self explanatory how), do a full format from mounts & storage (apart from your sd-card), then select flash zip from sd, and then choose a rom to flash. Don't ask which is best or what to recommend. It's all personal preference.
ROM's I frequent:
Cyanogenmod
MIUI XJ
I can recommend the noobs thread it tells you everything, I've used it many of times and you soon pick.up on stuff.

So what you're saying is that I don't need to root or create a goldcard or anything? As long as I have this custom recovery I can flash a new ROM?
Also another thing that worries me is the radio part of the ROM. That was the reason I had to send my phone back to HTC coz there was an error when it was at the ROM stage and wouldn't boot an OS after that.
Can I flash a new ROM without the radio or does that mean no calling etc?
And also does the radio have to be specific to my region and operator? (o2 uk)

Yes, you don't need a goldcard to flash a new ROM. The radio doesn't affect the booting up of the OS, it just affects your network signal and anything else associated with the radio. The radio doesn't need to be flashed everytime you change ROM's. You can look here to see if you have the latest one

And let me ask you something. Is it such a crime to ask for help and give help? I've read through every tutorial i needed and still ran into problems. A store worker doesn't ignore you when you need something just coz people have asked before. By signing up to XDA you are automatically willing to help others or even help yourself when problems arise.

To return to stock all you have to do is follow this guide. Tested and it works. Make sure you read the effing manual. It'll download a old RUU but you can then update to the latest android/sense version.

Thanks 4 ur reply bro. but when I opened the guide I read this line:
Please do NOT run the hack step if you are already S-OFF and are running a custom ROM. It's pointless, and while it won't brick you, you can get jammed up a bit. This is for stock devices only.
Now i am running a custom rom & i have S-OFF.. So can u tell me what to do now?

Basically I want my DHD to start getting updates from HTC Official website & all that stuff..
It'll be like the first time you bought it. It won't be 2.3.5, it'll be an older version but you can update to 2.3.5 & SENSE 3.0 OTA.

Hi, Can I suggest that you flash a rooted version of Stock. You will not notice any difference in use, but you will be able to flash other cool roms in the future when you are more confident. HTC rarely release updates and when they do someone will root that too. Below is a link to the latest rooted stock.
Download the Full Version to your SD card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235&highlight=stock+rooted
Download and Install EXT4 touch.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759
Reboot into recovery.
In EXT4 select "backup/restore"/"Backup" and create a backup of your existing rom (IMPORTANT)
Back into EXT4 Main Menu and select "Wipe/Format"/"Wipe data/factory reset" and "Format all partitions (excluding SD card)"
Back to main EXT4 menu.
Select "Install from sdcard"/"choose zip from sdcard" select the Stock rooted rom you downloaded and install.
Back to main EXT4 menu
Select "Wipe/format"/"wipe cashe+dalvik".
Back to main EXT4 menu select "Reboot now" and you are done.
Enjoy your Stock rom.
Hey thanks a lot bro. Really appreciate ur help .. i'll try this but I wanna know a few things 1st :
1. will I b able to install to 2.3.5 & get OTA updates 4m HTC website after this?
2. will it have HTC Sense 3.0 or sumthin?
3. What abt. ICS? Will I b able to update tht too? Cuz Htc said they'll release ICS update for DHD later this yr. ?
Thanks.
The download I linked to (download on main page is down, check the mirrors later in the post) is the latest release from HTC 2.3.5 sense 3.0 (look at black screenshot on download page) When you install it your phone will boot as if it is a new phone.
You can use the HTC hub for downloading wallpapers/ringtones/widgets and the lost phone/ring it features. The only thing it will not do is update the software version.
There will not be another update now until they release ICS (who knows when!). When ICS is released someone will root it and you can install that in the same way. Although the developers here will make it smoother and faster, but if you want stock ICS I'm sure it will be here too, rooted.
I recommend this Stock based rom too. It has sense 3.5 and Beats Audio "which rocks" and HTC will not port that to DHD. Download the s=stock version. The HTC features are the same as above.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364835
As long as you carry out what I told you in my last post you can flash and try as many roms as you wish. (you do not need to back them all up "unless you wish" before you try another). As long as you have one backup to fall back on.
But make sure you do the wipe/format stuff between each flash.
I can see you really want to return to stock, but why not take the opportunity to try out your rooted devise.
note: use "titanium backup" (free from the market for rooted devices) to backup/restore you apps.
One word of caution flashing roms can become addictive.

So now that U know my objective, any further help wud b hugely welcomed
Thanks
Still not sure why you want to go back to stock unless for warranty issues. Custom roms have Beats audio better battery life are faster.
Anyway judging by your noob status your only way of getting back to stock is to use AAHK as in the first reply. Download it. The download contains a MANUAL read it, every word TWICE.
I got ur point bro. & u've been a gr8 help so im gonna try this SmartDriod T3.1 Rom. Is it better than its Stock Ver.? It also says, "Suggested Radio for this rom
26.14.04.28_M". What is this abt.? & How do i get it? & will it be in English cuz the screenshots r not in english lang.
Once again thanks a lot 4 ur help
Use S=stock 3.1 if you want a complete Stock look. T version has HTC hub and other bits removed to speed it up. I use the T version.
Yes it's in English. You choose language on first boot.
Radio fiddles with signal strength/battery life etc. But forget about this for now. It is not crucial and you may already have it in your rom. Look in your DHD "about phone" and check the numbers. I'll provide info on radio and matching ril, but just for you to read. DO NOT FLASH RADIO OR RIL until you are a bit more sure of yourself. DO NOT flash radio or ril if it is not recommended for DHD.

@FurryCup.. I'm going 2 do T3.1 & gonna follow ur instructions on 1st page.
1 thing is, I have ClockwordRecovery & backedup my current ROM already, so do i need to install Titanum & create backup again?
Well done backing your rom up. You don't need to do it again. Don't bother to download 4EXT you can use clockwork to do the rest, it's very similar. Titanium backs up your apps not your rom. So you can skip that as they are prob not your choice of apps anyway. Alternatively use "My Backup" from the market (get the rooted version) to do the same job as titanium, it is much easier to use for a noob.
So download 3.1T to your SD card. Do all the wipe stuff and install it.
Always "WIPE DATA /FACTORY RESET" when installing a new rom.
Good Luck.
My brain hurts!
I don't really want to ask my question, as I just know it has been answered somewhere else, but I'll be darned if I can find a coherent enough solution for my brain!
I have a Vodafone One X in UK.
Currently it has Android Revolution HD 9.4.1
Android version 4.0.4
HTC Sense 4.1
I want to revert to stock so I can receive the OTA jellybean update and start from scratch - but I am having difficulty.
I thought I could just flash the backup I made when I installed Revo HD (using ClockworkMod recovery 5.8.4.0), but when I do this, it just loops into a reboot just as it is almost booted.
I have tried wiping the caches.
I have also scanned XDA and Google, but am getting bamboozled.
I tried to follow [TUT] Disaster Recovery - How to recover from nearly everything [Updated 28/04/2012] but that lead me to needing the RUU for my phone but the only link I could find required a pay-for subscription.
Does anyone know of a good simple step by step guide to reverting to stock in a very simple way?
I appreciate any assistance.

Once again, thanks, worked a dream.
Hi guys,
I´ve got a stock Desire with Android 2.2.2. (OTA update some two years ago). Some days ago I noticed my camera was not working nor did the flashlight app. After turning off and on the device a couple of times the flashlight started working again but not the camera. Trying to fix what I thought might be a software problem I went into Hboot menu and into recovery and selected reboot. Nothing seemed to have changed until i noticed my battery was only lasting for 4 or 5 hours when it used to last at least 1,5 days. Also, I just noticed my 3G mobile network connection is not working either.
How may I correct this? I've already tried a factory reset but without success. I was just looking at an youtube video from a XDA member about flashing RUU's and thought that it might do it. Is there a difference between flashing a RUU and a factory reset? I'm not very confortable doing it as I've never rooted or flashed any device, but I'm willing to take the chance...
Thanks for your support...
Flashing a ruu is basically reinstalling the stock firmware. Factory resetting is just wiping the data on the phone.
If you want to flash a ruu, check my sig. Download the 2.3 ruu. Don't change the zip name. Take the zip and put it on the root of your sd-card, and boot in hboot. Then select "yes" and wait.
This will upgrade your firmware to Android 2.3.3, which is faster than froyo, but it will wipe all your internal data.

Thank you for your reply.
Now it´s clearer to me. Factory reset doesn't correct any system issues.
I already found the RUU i currently have on my phone, but maybe I could upgrade to 2.3. Does the RUU in your sig work for my Desire?
My data are:
Andriod version: 2.2.2.
Baseband: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel: 2.6.32.15-gfa401c
Software number: 2.29.405.14
Just a small update concerning the battery issue: it seems to be the battery itself which is the problem. I installed a new one last night and now battery behaviour is back to normal. I will try the old one again though, in order to be sure it's gone.
The ruu in my sig works for your desire. It actually works for almost every Bravo on the market.
Thank you once again.
I just managed to correct my 3G problem also. I didn't restore the network definitions after the factory reset (didn't know I had to or how it is done ), but after a quick call to tech support it is fixed.
Now I will probably give the RUU update a try and also root and s-off (must resaerch a little more - XDA forum has tones of good info :good...
In my sig, there's a Desire All Root guide. Check it out.

Hi, some developments and more help needed
Followed the guides above and now my Desire is rooted, s-offed using revolutionary and 4ext recovery is installed and I've partitioned my new 32 GB sdcard with 2GB ext4. Sadly, I've not updated to android 2.3.3 with the PB99IMG RUU, so I'm still with the 2.2.2.
But, even after sd partition, my available internal memory has not increased. What do I have to do to install all new apps on the sd?
If I update now for 2.3.3. using PB99IMG will I lose root and s-off? If I have to flash a new rom, which do you suggest? I'm used to the stock htc sense and don't really want to upgrade unless I have to.
I would really appreciate any suggestions...
Tks.
Don't use the RUU. You will lose root and s-off. Just install a custom rom, and your storage will increase.

Thank you for your reply :good:.
Could you please suggest a stable rom based on gingerbread with htc sense (early versions prefered) and also point out a detailed noob friendly tutoorial for flashing roms? I must do some more research but if you could point me out in the right direction it would be very useful
Sorry to be such a pain in the a**, but I'm just getting started in the rom world and not very tech inclined also...
Tks.
