I don't see any harm in taking the update. Afaik it is just a radio update which can be reversed by running the ruu back to an older version. Try it and let us know your results.

It brings me to the cwm recovery menu and when I locate the update -sdcard/downloads/update that's where it is, it says this software could render your phone incompatible but it's an ota update
So it should work. I'm just scared to brick this phone I just got it two days ago so I could return and say it's not working I want another but I got it on sale and I don't know if they would do that or if I have to pay the extra 100$ which I can't do. Do if it doesn't start up what could I do to fix it? Like when you flash you have to fastboot a boot.zip file right? How do I do that? I'm still on stock obviously and I have a backup of my current status and completely brand new stock, thanks guys

To install the OTA update, you'll need to restore the stock recovery, stock kernel, and most likely relock your bootloader. If you are using Virgin Mobile, be warned, the OTA is not compatible with any roms or kernels available now. If you try to install any custom roms or kernels, you will be stuck in a bootloop and will have to RUU back the older version to install them.

Ok thank you I am using virgin mobile but I like the stock phone I feel changing roms is too much work and I feel as if I won't like them plus I need a computer 24/7 and also I don't feel comfortable with switching back and forth all the time if I don't like anything. Mods can delete this if they'd like I got my answer thank you guys

Purchased a used G2 on ebay - phone was rooted and I believe CM7 installed - clockworkmod came up and I tried to install a custom rom and was only getting white HTC screen.
At this point I really just want the latest official gingerbread 2.3.4 on the phone (even if it means getting an original stock rom then getting the OTA update thru t-mobile). I don't care if its rooted or not. (Picture of HBOOT screen attached below)
What is the easiest and fastest way to do this from what I have on my phone at this point? If I just factory reset from this menu will I still have to get a stock a rom and put it on my sdcard?
Just flash the rooted version from the dev thread dude

hi
after returning to stock using my Nandroid backup and then flashing a stock recovery i can then boot up and use my phone as normal
my problem occurs is i want to upgrade to JB so i then go through the commands to lock my bootloader and it is succesful and locks but after this it will only ever then boot into bootloader, so to get my phone back to working condition i have to then unlock my bootloader and it works perfectly again but i cant update due to a unlocked bootloader.
have tried reflashing kernel, reflashing recovery, restoring the nandroid again all with no success
anybody have any ideas or am i doing anything wrong
any help would be much appreciated
Something else is wrong ! If you are on stock rom,boot.img and recovery you are good to go. The bootloader can stay unlocked.......is it possible you have the wrong nandroid ?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
will my phone update with it being unlocked. as doesnt the new jb update upgrade the bootloader?
my nandroid is a 2.17, recovery matches and the boot.img comes from the nandroid
Yes if everything is 100% stock then you can update with the bootloader unlocked. That is no problem it will work fine
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
thanks for the help
still would like some help as to why it will not lock seems very strange as my brother who has the same phone i went through the identical process and his was straight forward and locked mine just wont accept it
I can't give you the answer to that, but if the update fails its not due to the fact that the bootloader is unlocked !
Did u apply the update already ?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
no the update isnt showing yet suprislingly cid 001
aslong as its not a problem updating with bootloader unlocked then ill be fine then
thanks
I hope so, orherwise you have a nandroid of a non stock rom (maybe deleted some system apps)
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yeh it's 100% a stock nandroid as its the only one I have from originally rooting the phone. And like I say it boots up fine just doesn't boot up atall when the boot loaders locked if its unlocked its fine
Just wait for the update, and see if it installs fine !
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
If your on HTC__001 just download the jellybean RUU. Lock your bootloader then run the ruu and it will update you
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
It's actually an 02 001 CID. And I can't find the RUU for the 2.17 software for O2
Ah you have to wait longer, the carrier needs to put their bloatware/crap in the update :thumbdown:

i am new to flash custom ROM on one V. i wasfine with the original ROM,but now some of the apps are getting very slow to get response, especially the phone, people and messaging. the system software already updated to the latest version, i have tried clean cache as well, is there a custom ROM can solve this problem, or it can be solved without flash a custom ROM?
if flash a custom ROM is a must, anyone can recommend which ROM meet my requirements?

If you updated the phone, the new radio has a problem with the kernels used by the custom roms that are being released here and the phone would constantly reboot itself when a different kernel/rom is used. You can still unlock your bootloader and root the phone, but you will be stuck with the stock rom/kernel.
You might want to downgrade the radio first by running the official RUU.
After you downgrade the radio, you can then unlock your bootloader and root without having any kernel problems. Something about the updated radio that comes with the OTA update ruins any custom rom/kernel installation.

You don't have to worry about downgrading radio... your device is a GSM as most of us in Asia.
I do not how to downgrade. Previously was using Samsung galaxy 3 which is way simpler to flash custom rom without unlock this and that. I am just afraid brick my phone. Anyway I just downloaded an app called contacts + so far it solves my problem like a charm

Hello
I was wondering if I could get a stock ROM without root. Or could I do it my self by uninstalling SU?
Thanks.
Why would you want that ?
You can unroot by removing supersu.apk from /system/app and deleting root binaries.

Thanks! I'll try it in the morning. I wanted to find how to do this because there seem to be no RUUs.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Well there are ruu's....but depends on which one you need.
Well a Australian Vodafone RUU for Jelly Bean would be nice. But I've seen that the sites have be shut down.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
There is a new domain up, google for android ruu.org index. But i dont think a JB voda ruu is released/leaked. The JB ruu's are pretty rare
Yea, I've kinda noticed that. But I could probably flash a stock European ROM and unroot it using the link you gave me.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Endeavor this the site but its down at the moment, but its the actual one. You cant run a different ruu for your phone then the official one (no other region or wwe european one) and yes you can run a stock jb rom and unroot it but then the next the owner will not be able to update the phone
I tried that site not too long ago so its still down. If I flashed the RUU then unlocked it, would it still get updates from Vodafone?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I was on it last night so it will come back up i guess......to be able to update the phone you need :
Stock rom (out of the box stock)
Stock kernel
Stock recovery
If one of these things are messed the up the update will fail
And yes if you ran a ruu and only unlocked the bootloader it can still update ..... even with root you can still update, you loose it after the update. Only when you messedwith system apps like deleting them, removing bloatware apps from voda then the update will fail again
Alright, by unlock I meant a network unlock.
I'm guessing that after updating to JB and a new HBOOT I can't run a ICS RUU?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
ow haha your right after the JB update you indeed can not run a ICS ruu anymore ! :good:
I think I'll get one of the European rooted ROMs and unroot, flash stock recovery , kernel and OEM lock!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
yes thats possible....but it still wont update in the future. the updates go by CID. that is not changable....so you flash a rom for CID A and the future update will search for CID B with a different software number and at that point it will 100% fail !
I thought you can't change your CID.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
That's what im saying....you can't change CIDS. but you want to run a custom rom based on a wwe rom. most of the roms are built on the european base 3.14.401.31. And not on the software number from vodaphone that is released on your phone......
Vodapaphone gets a softwareversion from HTC and they put all sorts of vodacrap in the rom (branding the phone) so basically the phone is stuck on that. The next update will also have that crap and is looking to update the old vodacrap, but now its no longer there so it won't update.
Hope i make it a bit less difficult like this
OK I don't think there will be too many updates.

I'm gonna root and install a custom ROM on my friend's phone and I'm just wondering if I need to update the bootloader before installing any ROMs?
So should I root, then flash the bootloader update via Odin before installing a ROM?
Or can anyone give me a good process for doing that, it would really help

What version bootloader do you have now and version do you think you need?
I simply did a search on "bootloader" and found this relevant thread for you. Take a look a post #2.
Hope it helps.

I meant like my friend's phones are purely stock.. And I'm on a custom ROM. About a month ago we all got bootloader updates in order to use new ROMs so I'm wondering if that's what I need to do for my friends too, before flashing them a rom

I'm sure that it depends on what version bootloader is currently installed, and what version your ROM of choice requires. The fact that their phone is now "Stock" doesn't tell you anything. I am running a nightly version (7/7/13) of Rootbox (Doesn't get any newer than that) on a one year old S3, and have never updated my "Stock" bootloader because it was not necessary for what I need - and there isn't one newer.
Every time you flash, you are taking the chance of something screwing up. The only thing worse than bricking your phone would be bricking someone else's. IMO, you need to do some more research to answer your own question. The devil is in the details.
Good Luck.

If he is on the most current stock update provided by the carrier then the bootloader should already be updated.
