[Q] How TO manually update my HOX?

Ok guys, I did my research and the reason I'm still in 4.0.3 even when WWE 044 got the 4.0.4 update is because I have a pre release firmware. The 1.19.707...this isn't letting me update to anything. Can I manually update it to another OTA? Like one before the 4.0.4 or just that one?

Since your version is x.xx.707.x, why don't you flash thru RUU instead of OTA? The latest is 2.17.707.3

And see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714 on how to.

I can't lose my info, not yet. I was wondering if there was a way besides RUU.

Plus, doesn't RUU only updates the "radio"?

There is no other way I guess as the OTA for x.xx.707.xx only start from 1.27 then 1.28 then 1.29 then jump to 2.17. As yours is 1.19, means no OTA for your version.

RUU will update, in fact will replace everything in your device. That is why running a RUU will wipe everything on your device so new files get installed such as hboot, radio, boot.img, recovery.img and so on.

So the best way wil be the RUU route. Good. Let me see then...thanks.

[Q] HOX bricked after updating HBOOT

I started out with an unlocked and unrooted Vodafone France branded HOX (CID VODAP203) with S-ON running stock ICS.
Foolishly, I assumed I needed to update the HBOOT in order to receive the official Jellybean upgrade. So I downloaded the appropriate firmware.zip from here and flashed it using fastboot. That procedure completed successfully, and the phone rebooted.
Since then, it has been stuck at the Beats Audio screen, which is what I suppose is called a "bootloop".
I tried using the correct RUU from htcruu.com, but that throws up an error about the wrong HBOOT version. I can't reproduce the message exactly; there is insufficient charge to try again.
I had HBOOT 0.43 before; after flashing, I have 1.36. Is there any way out of the bootloop? I don't mind wiping the phone.
Any help at all will be greatly appreciated! :cyclops:

Did you run JB RUU? You need to.

I can't seem to find a JB RUU for my CID. It's not listed on the Official OTA collection page either.

Try to reflash.

Got it.
The phone had gotten locked again, that's why trying to flash anything resulted in an error. Feeling very stupid now.
Got the unlock code from HTCDev, unlocked phone, flashed boot.img and recovery.img from rom.zip retrieved from stock RUU.
Phone is now back to normal.
Thanks a lot!

Super.
Enjoy JB. :beer:

Err.. I'm actually back to ICS; couldn't find the stock JB ROM.
Now I'm just being greedy, but would you perhaps know where I might find the JB RUU for my CID? The OTA was released in November, but it hasn't been added to the collection here on xda.

y dont you just flash stock recovery and update to JB since the ota is out as you said ?

I'm not getting the JB OTA when I force it to check for updates. I only get an update from ICS 4.03 to 4.04.
I guess I'll just need to keep trying everyday

Why just send email to HTC with question from where to find appropriate RUU because you did not receive an ota?
Or send it to your local services center to upgrade it?

[Q] A bit of help with hboot and CID's?

I'm on RC8 of this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013506) and looking to upgrade to the latest release. It seems a hboot upgrade is required though (to 1.3x), which I've never really touched.
From what I can tell from bootloader I'm on hboot v0.93. CID is TMOB005 according to fastboot, and I can't find anything at all suggesting I can safely upgrade to 1.3x with this CID. Am I completely out of luck or are there other options?
Please feel free to re-educate me if I've misunderstood the concepts of hboot/CID here..
Thanks.

This is by the OP on the ROM thread (first post).

Upgrading
You can always upgrade to a newer version without wiping any data, formatting system or wiping the cache.
But keep in mind that you must always flash boot.img + re-flash gapps after upgrading

AFAIK, HBoot v0.93 is a custom HBoot, so it should be fine for you to go ahead and upgrade, just remember to flash boot.img. As for CID it is just the phone's carrier, in your case it would be T-Moblie. It determines when you get your OTA. Doubt it will affect your flashing of custom ROMS (correct me if I'm wrong, cos I'm still learning here).
I'm not too sure about HBoots, so would be nice if an expert were to come and confirm this.

Thanks for replying. I just want to be really clear here though, the thread for that ROM states:
Verify that you are running hboot 1.39 or newer (hboot 1.2x may work (please send me feedback) - but any lower hboot version will NOT work for builds after rc13)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So are you saying there's a v1.39 hboot that's safe to use with my CID? Or that I don't, in fact, have to upgrade hboot at all? I could find nothing suggesting either.

To run the latest JB roms you need to update the hboot. The hboot you have is pretty old. There is a thread with a collection of firmwares, you must flash the exact matching firmware for your CID !!!
Edit : here is the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
We can also run a ruu to get you to full stock and from there update with ota to JB ....

Yes, what I'm asking is if anybody is aware of a compatible for my CID.
Thanks.

Is there no info in the thread, he said himself that he is not aware of the compatibility with older hboots. Its a trial and error or succes
Edit, the mentioned build will not work on lower hboots then 1.12....yours is lower so it wont work

Yes, there is an absolute minimum version which I don't meet.
Sorry if the question is unclear, I'm just looking for somebody with knowledge of the various firmware's to confirm my suspicion there is no 1.39 safe to use with my CID.

What he mentioned in his post was that you require HBoot 1.3x, not 1.39. Perhaps what you can do, to be safe, is to revert to stock ROM and update your HBoot there, after which proceed to flash the new version of the above-mentioned ROM.
Follow this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660807 ) on instructions on how to do so.

Yeah if you update the hboot to minimal 1.31 max 1.39 you can flash all roms.

[Q] Confusion related to flashing process/hboot

Hey guys!
I intend to flash a custom rom on my international HOX. However, it seems to be quite tricky, and whatsmore, some guides are more confusing than helpful. I'm referring to several statements about hboot-versions. Therefore the following questions:
- Is it still necessary to update hboot, as the official Jelly Bean updates are out now?
- How can I check which hboot-version I'm on?
Thanks for answering!
Dellocatus

You can check the hboot in the bootloader, when it is higher or equal to 1.31 you can flash any Rom in here.
You enter the bootloader by pressing the volume down + power button together as long as it takes for the phone to reboot into the bootloader.

Hi!

No need for firmware update.

Even if you would like to ..... you can't because the 1.39 hboot is the highest possible at the moment.

Hi.
Thanks guys.

[Q] HTC One X update hboot CID HTCCN701

Hello everyone,
I have an international HTC One X with CID HTCCN701, and I would like to install CM10.1.
I am not a noob , and I have already installed a Jelly Bean ROM after unlocking. However, I am currently on hboot version 1.12 S-ON Unlocked, and I could not find a hboot that is for my CID which fits the requirements (Version 1.28 or higher)
Moreover, though I know how to flash hboot, it would be great if anyone can provide a method to update hboot without changing the present ROM, recovery, and data on the device.
Thank you!
P.S. Please do not tell me to search; I cannot find a firmware here for HTCCN701

Does anyone have a solution?

Check for a newer hboot here

try to install it, if it fails to pass htc sig and cid check, it wont do any harm

Yes, I think there is 1.29 RUU, but isn't the hboot contained in it not up to date?
And, I have already checked for updates when I was on stock ROM back in mid June.

Thanks, but are you sure it will just refuse to flash if it is a fake? Because I saw on the forums that if a wrong firmware is flashed, the device could be bricked.
Another question is that is it possible to upgrade hboot without modifying system and data?

You would need s-off for it to flash if it's fake and upgrading the hboot doesn't wipe system or data , although unlocking the boot loader does
