I have noticed a few people having problems on doing the OTA update on australian htc one x's. As optus just released their OTA JB Update it was easier for me to use this method to get the update on a rooted or non stock rom.
First you will need a few tools.
Download the HTC One X all in one Toolkit -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604439
Make sure you have the latest HTC drivers (Intall HTC sync and then uninstall) -> www.HTC.com
Download phones RUU file for your carrier. -> http://htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor
Get Boot Unlock Code from HTC Dev (ONE X AIO TOOLBOX WILL HELP WITH THIS) -> www.htcdev.com
All the above tools can be found in the XDA Forums in the android developer section.
1. First step is to get the right RUU file for your phone.
2. Best to make a nandroid backup from recovery
3. Use the ONE X tool to Relock your bootloader. (make sure battery is about 40% for next steps)
4. Put phone in fastboot using vol - and power when turning device on.
5. Run the RUU, it might fail the first time but then will allow you to install the stock recovery and then rerun the RUU and will update to stock fine.
6. Boot phone and upgrade to 4.0 ICS
7. Reboot Phone
8. Check updates and update software for the JB updater tool
9. Reboot phone
9. Check updates and install JB update and reboot phone.
10. Use htc one x toolkit to unlock boot loader again if you need root access and you are done.
I tested this on optus001 cid but should work on all internation tegra's. I know their are a few methods but this one worked for me so thought i would contribute it. Sorry i couldn't post in the developer forums as i haven't posted before. If someone wants to rewrite this info to be more readable then that is fine, hope it helps. Also if you brick you phone contact me about unbrick services.
Absolute unneccessary thread. All that info is posted here about a million times.

hello so I am kinda new to this forum but i have read that alot of people that are having issues trying to fix their phone after boot loader unlock and rooted phone i notice that alot of the custom roms that are available are for the virgin mobile version of htc one v. unless i over looked it i couldn't find any custom roms for the cricket version of the htc one v and there for i found that because of compatibility issues the phone goes through a boot loop after custom kernel/rom flash via fastboot
so below i have put together my own guide in my own words w/ downloads included on how to fix the boot loop issue with the CRICKET HTC ONE V version of the phone since i really couldn't fine clear and concise instructions and regerdgeitated information that wasn't applicable to the phone although information was useful to read.so i wanna give back to this community and help other who have this similar problem
purpose of guide:
to help those who have htc one v cricket phone
step one
download the CRICKET RUU
start up FASTBOOT enter these commands to lock boot loader
example:
change directory of where you downloaded the fast boot program files via command prompt on a windows machine
CD C:\name-of-fastboot-folder
FASTBOOT OEM LOCK - hit enter
step two
put ur CRICKET htc one in boot loader mode then load the cricket RUU program
follow the on screen instructions to begin restoring your phone to a complete factory state
NOTE: before locking the boot loader go into which ever custom recovery you flashed and do a complete system wipe back up if possible or applicable
this process should take at least 20 min to complete so sit back and grab a coffee or somethin ;D
once finished your phone should be completely restored and back to factory out of the box working conditions - at least these steps worked for me i figured it out by myself.
NOTE:
now if you wanna redo the unlock boot loader again search google or here on the forums to do it
back up your phones and stock roms incase-- as always
root your phone by following the "how to guides" on here
thanks to all who tried to help me with my issue everything is appreciated
DOWNLOADS:
download the CRICKET RUU here
let me know if you guys are having issues downloading the RUU thanks

Good day all, I just got this phone yesterday so I apologize in advance for any noob questions as I have not done much research into the M8
I got this phone used in great condition, and I'd really love to try the stock HTC experience. Unfortunately, I got it with Android Revolution HD installed, and I did not like it so I flashed CM12 on to it, which is great but I'd really like to try the stock because I like Sense.
Does anybody have a backup of their stock rom they can post for me to restore the system? I've got TWRP installed and my bootloader is unlocked.
No S-OFF yet, I will have the funds to do it on my card in the week.
No SuperCID yet
Any other necessary information could be provided.
Post your fastboot getvar all (minus serial no & imei no)
no info, how to help ?

Here you go
Sorry, I didn't know how to get it. Its been a while since I used HTC
Yours is a Developer Edition device
The latest stock is Lollipop 4.16.1540.8
You can use a RUU to revert everything to stock including the internal storage as it wipes the storage
You can get it here : http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...G_20.68.4196.01_F_release_411207_signed_2.exe
What you need to do is :
1. put your device in bootloader/fastboot mode and connect to PC
2. relock bootloader - fastboot oem lock (because your device is S-On)
3. Right click the RUU exe that you downloaded, select "run as administrator" .. wait for it to run, later there is a dialog box, accept, next, next, update, blablabla until it finish and your device rebooted... done.
Note : this will wipe everything on your internal storage. Make a backup of important files before you proceed.
Re step 2 .. you can try to skip it first (as I'm not sure whether Developer Edition device is an unlocked device by default)
If you have error 155 then you need to do step 2
And an alternative way of doing this :
Download the 3.28.1540.5 backup from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
restore the backup with TWRP and install its matching stock recovery image
check for OTA and accept, download and install
This way you don't need to relock bootloader and it does not wipe your internal storage

WOW ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?
I own a Dev Ed M8??
How can I tell? What exactly makes it Dev Ed?
I'm extremely happy right now so sorry if I ask a tonne of questions.
BTW I just used snipping tool to black out my serial number and IMEI number if that somehow made you think it's a Dev Ed (which I hope it didn't)
I traded my Note 3 for this yesterday expecting to get a normal used M8
I would have never expected to have gotten a used Dev Ed.
Also, related to the backup (because I'd prefer to not relock the bootloader or lose my stuff)
There isn't a boot.img with the exact number of 3.28.1540.5
Will one of the 3.28.401.x work? (There's three, each ending with either 6, 7 or 9)
EDIT: I mistakenly thought you said boot.img instead of recovery.img, which I found the correct compatibility for the version of the backup you instructed to restore.
I also want to know if it's necessary to flash the stock recovery, seeing that I may inevitably go back to the GPE rom I'm running right now.

You can tell it's a Dev edition by the CID, yours is BS_US002 so it does indeed appear to be a Dev edition M8. As for your firmware question, use the link ckpv5 gave you, scroll down until you see "all other CID's" and tap the button below it. Scroll all the way to the bottom of that list to find what you are looking for. Good luck!

Your CID and MID tell that you have a Dev Ed
You need the stock recovery only for OTA updates.
Yours currently is on 4.4.4 hboot.
You need to update to lollipop 5.0.1 before you can run a 5.0.1 GPE ROM for top performance. Anyway it's your choice.

Wow thanks a lot! I really do appreciate your help.
I am successfully on the Stock 5.0.1 official update as of right now, with TWRP and root access.
I can't wait to see what Sense 6 has come to. The last one I used was 4.1 on my Amaze, and even then I think it was 3.6 based.
Hi there all,
Have previously done some modding on older HTCs, but have not really done it in a while.
By chance and opportunity, I got my hands on an M9. Love it, but it is Telstra (AU) branded. I know that to get the lastest FW (OEM or otherwise), its best to get off carrier branded FW.
In order to do this (aim to get to intl or Asia unbranded generic FW), I should:
1. S-Off (via HTC Dev).
2. Install custom recovery
3. do a back up (Just in case)
4. Load the generic RUU of my choosing
5. (optional) install the stock recovery that matches the RUU (for OTA updates)
Is this right? Do I need to mess with CID?
Any info to help me refresh myself would be great.
Apparently HTC dev does not assist with S-OFF.. maybe www.theroot.ninja though ..

oh good old sunshine.
Anyone have anything else to add? any tips to make it easier on the m9?
Just that installing a RUU will install stock recovery anyway.
The root ninja guys are in the US and get their M9s in a few weeks, you won't be able to achieve the above until s-off is available, you will need to supercid the device to enable you to flash a none telestra RUU.
A custom ROM may well be an option once they start popping up ?
Thanks Punk/Lee, good insight.
Yeah, I've used Viper ROM ages ago with my M7 i think, and that went well, so may go down custom as well. Cant wait to start mucking around with my M9.
Bootloader unlock reportedly works if you select "other" on HTC dev., also, the process must be done from Recovery Download mode, i. e. Hboot-->Downloadoad mode. At least that's the method I have seen reported successful.
My name is Harold and I'm a flashaholic.....
thanks Harold. I will try it when I get some time this week
Excuse the noobness.
As per above, if I can unlock the bootloader using the "Other" selection on HTC Dev, plus this toolkit is available : http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/tool-windroid-universal-android-toolkit-t3066989
Then, flash one of the following RUUs - http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/htc-one-m9-dump-t3060545
Effectively, that means I can unbrand (use one of the stock RUUs), and it would receive the relevant updates from those regions, yes?

If that RUU, what you want to flash, has different CID/MID - flashing will fail..
And on the other hand for editing your CID/MID in order to match those in RUU can't be accomplished without S-OFF - which you should not confuse with "unlocking bootloader"..
hey, I managed to debrand my M9. I followed these steps:
1. unlock bootloader
2. flash recovery and root
3. S-Off with sunshine
4. Change my CID to HTC__001
5. Put the 0PJAIMG.zip on an SD card and rebooted into bootloader mode and it de-branded the phone
I have accidentally flashed wrong stock recovery on my htc one m8,so now it's not charging when phone is off,I want to flash the correct stock recovery,my software no is 1.16.401.10 ,after that I need to flash marshmallow,explain me what are the steps
thank you....
Your device is NOT M8 but M8s.
Check this section - https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/one-m8s-general
There even RUU that you can use. I posted the RUU in a few thread, search for it, can't help much as I'm on mobile now.
Check this and use the RUU posted - https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/one-m8s-general/htc-one-m8s-boot-t3528316
@ckpv5 yes i tried ruu,but my software version is 1.16.401.10,i started ruu 6.0,but after some time its shows waiting for bootloader and says check the usb connection,there no anything with usb because I installed the latest drivers.i even can't update the software from the phone, please give me a solution.
Which 6.0 RUU ? What's the name of the RUU ?
Do you read the link that I posted above - https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/one-m8s-general/htc-one-m8s-boot-t3528316
There's only 8 posts in that thread with link to RUU and how to install.
Rename the RUU.zip to 0PKVIMG.zip
Put it on root of microSD
Boot to bootloader then select hboot
It will ask to update
Volume Up to update
Relax .. let it finish its job
Once completed - press power to reboot
Done
Make sure you relock bootloader before you run the procedure.
This is my problem. i Have a Desire 530 family plan that i software brick.
I was on 1.01.352.25_2 and a ota to 1.36.352.14 and now i cant RUU anymore because HTC dont have the RUU 1.36.352.14 only the old one.
I try to install the boot.img and the system.img over twrp but the phone restart when i flash the system.
I cant RUU because HTC dont allow me install a older RUU on a system that has a update on it.
Any of you have idea of how to proceed?
I tough to install a trwp backup of 1.36.352.14 but i was stupid and dont do it.
Thanks.

Hi,
I think you have to s-off your device with sunshine after that you can
downgrade to 1.01.352.25.2 and take the ota again (if you want).
It costs 25$ bucks but it's worth it... for sure better than a not booting device ..IMHO
Ok but how I can apply sunchine without system? It's possible to apply it over fastboot?
I also mail HTC to get the rom but they give me link for TMO and this one are Family plan model...
Thanks for the reply
same problem.

You are trying to download an exclusive file.
Exclusive categories and files only downloadable by paid membership subscriptions.
And i read on the web this site are not 100% trustable ;/
Your Issue so is easy to fix d{-_-}b
Your first mistake was to mess with your phone without doing a proper FULL BACK backup, that's like Step 1 from any guide. step 0 unlock boot loader, step 1 do full system back up.
Second, find the images from HTC website, your second mistake is not telling people what carrier you need the images for. If your having issue finding them your first go to should've been HTC chat support and not xda, just ask them to help you find the right one, if you still cant find it most likely there are other devices out there that share the same firmware like Tmo, Metro and fam mobile which any of those system images should work with each other (not saying yours do because again, I don't know what you have /: ).
Third, if TWRP and the HTC recovery wizard are giving you a hard time extract boot, system and recovery then just Push them through adb (Hundreds of how to's out there)
Thanks for your answer dear...
Yes I make a mistake when I don't backup before mess up because always I have the official support to ruu back to stock and kill my problem but this time it's different.
I contact HTC support and they suggest flash TMO ruu but my desire 530 are https://www.walmart.com/ip/Walmart-Family-Mobile-HTC-Desire-530-Smartphone/51671356 like I said on the first line of my description.
The funny part are, the latest ruu available on HTC download page are previous of the ota available for this phone so the locked S-ON state won't allow me to downgrade or flash any image over trwp.
If any user of desire 530 family mobile with the latest OTA can upload he's images I will appreciate.
I literally just told you how to fix it d{-_-}b
I'll Make it super simple for you JUST FOLLOW THE STEPS don't question it just do.
LIke the HTC rep told you and like i told you fam mobile and tmobile share the same firmware SO USE THAT ROM!
STEP 1 Go here: www.htc.com/us/support/htc-desire-530-t-mobile/news/ Download the 1.3GB RUU.exe located at the bottom
STEP 2 On your phone go to DOWNLOAD MODE and connect phone (make sure phone is detected properly)
STEP 3 Double click the RUU.exe hit accept next ->> next ->> until you see a progress bar hit 100% and your phone starts.
THATS IT!!!!!
Things to keep in mind:
- You need to have HTC sync installed for drivers, your phone needs to be charged!
- if the RUU.exe says fail or gives you an error just keep repeating STEP 3 until that progress bar hits 100% I had to do it 3 times, some people had repeat the process 10 times HTC RUU.exe has issues but it should work.
- if the RUU.exe is not detecting your phone make sure you are in DOWNLOAD MODE and NOT JUST IN THE BOOTLOADER OR RECOVERY (Double Check Device Manager on your computer is reading the phone correctly/has properly installed drivers)
- if RUU.exe is giving you compatibility issues you will need to extract boot, system and recovery form the RUU.exe and manually push them through ADB (look up a guide) for this step you will need to have an unlocked bootloader (which you already do) but if you don't (for some odd reason) you should be able to unlock it even with a softbrick (look for a guide).
