Hello everyone.
I just rooted my phone using hasson2000 all in one tool kit, and everything works great.
I am in the UK, with network called Three. (currently waiting for the JB update)
I am currently running android 4.0.4 with sense 4.1.
My question to you folks is will be able to receive OTA updates?
I have heard having a unlocked boot loader prevents the phone from receiving OTA updates.... is this true ?
And will re-locking the bootloader mean I will be able to download OTA update?
I know this is a lot to ask, but as this is my first time I am still what you might call me a noob.
Any help would me much appreciated.
Regards,
Shaazzaarr.
If you did NOT make any changes to the rom, like deleting bloatware and system apps. Then you are still able to fully update the phone. Bootloader can stay unlocked and root too. Don't worry about that.
What you need is
1: stock rom (root is no problem)
2: stock boot.img
3: stock recovery

Hey thanks for the reply.
I'm using the stock rom, haven't touched anything. But i am not using the stock recovery - currently using twrp.
Will i still be able to receive ota updates with a custom recovery? or do I have to do the whole ruu thing?
No you can check and receive ota's you are just not able to actually update, you need to flash back the stock recovery to update. That's all :thumbup:

Thats good news.
Say I decide to update my phone, can I just flash the stock factory recovery?
And does flashing stock recovery mean I lose super su and root previlages?
Hey, I appreciate all the help.
Thanks.
No you only lose the SU when you officially update the phone. Flashing back the stock recovery will not change the rom or root !

Hey thanks for the reply.
So, I don't have to do anything except flash the stock recovery when a update is available. Right? And no need of rru right?
Correct
Thanks for all the help. Can you please redirect me where I can find this stock recovery and how to flash it.

Hey thanks for the quick response.
Shall I just flash it as I flashed the twrp recovery?
will this get rid of twrp recovery?
I really do appreciate your time and effort. :highfive:
Yeah if you rename my file to
Recovery.img
Then copy it to the fastboot folder on the pc, put the phone in fastboot usb mode and flash with commands
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
This will flash the stock over the twrp recovery ....then you are able to receive and update the phone

Unfortunately, I do not have the fastboot files as I used hason2000s all in one toolkit.
Could you also pls send me the link to that, Thanks. :fingers-crossed:
Fastboot files as you wish
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
But isn't the tool capable of flashing a provided recovery ( like the stock i gave you ) ?
I never use tools
Place the files in a folder like this
C:\fastboot\*fastboot and adb files from my link*
From there you can run the command in a dosprompt so its looks like this
C:\fastboot\fastboot erase cache
And put the phone in bootloader menu before you run the command, hold the power button and the volume down button together until it restarts to the bootloader (you should see there the text *fastboot usb*)
Then you can flash ....

Hi folks,
So, you wanna try the JB leak but want to use ICS after that? Yes, it's possible. Even if you upgraded your HBOOT. And quite simple.
1. First, make a full nandroid backup of your favourite ICS ROM.
2. Then follow the instructions provided by the JB-chefs.
3. Testdrive the JB ROM
4. Reboot your phone into recovery
5. Restore your nandroid backup
6. Reboot your phone
7. if there's a bootloop, then boot bootloader, then recovery and flash the boot.img provided by your ICS ROM-chef.
And that's all. I did this and it's working. Hope that helps other users as well.

No the problem is that when you brick your device going to the new hboot there is no way back. There is no RUU with JB !

Indeed. But if you do exactly what the tutorial says, and follow the devs instructions, it's hard to brick your phone. Though it's possible...
Anyway, it's up to you... You should take the risk, or sit back, relax, and wait for the official JB RUU.

HI
I get a big issue!
First of all thanks for your post!
2ndly, I got a One X with S-Off yep lucky man!
But here is my issue:
I succeed in installing the Maximus custom rom And I am s-off so this is cool, but I have forget to use the update script.
So I decided to create a new zip with this update and flash it with the recovery!
But the flash aborted!
Once again, same result!
Then I say... Hum something wrong, I tried with the original custom rom.zip from Football! The installation aborted once again!
So I try to relock the bootloader (fastboot oem lock) succeed
Flash the PJ46IMG.zip (fastboot flash zip PJ46IMG.zip)
Unlock the bootloader (fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code_OneX.bin , I changed the name)
But since this moment my phone can't use fastboot command...
I have restarted the phone and no usb detection from the computer :s
and I try with fastboot usb: fastboot devices
Nothing
fastboot flash zip recovery.zip (waiting for device)
recovery and there is a phone with blue triangle!
I tried to use a RUU, but the phone is not detected by USB, so it doesn't succeed!
Then I do a factory reset... still nothing :s
I am locked with S-Off and can't use fastboot!
Do you have any idea about how I can do something???
Thanks for all your answers!

Can you flash any other rom based on ICS or other AOSP JB Roms with a ICS kernel like IceColdJelly?
Is the battery life better with the new hboot?

You should be able to revert to an ICS rom on the new hboot (reflash ICS boot.img and then restore nandroid backup) but apparently the AOSP roms don't work. Users on the new hboot and JB roms do comment that the battery life is much improved.

Hi to all,
Good day to all who is reading and helping.
I am not very sure if this question have been asked before but looking at the first few pages of tread, I did not come across this question, else i am pretty much blind. heehee.
I am having this problem with my rooted HTC One X (asia version). Previously I could go into the recovery mode in Hboot to perform backup and recovery but recently when I select recovery at Hboot, the phone with show a logo of a phone surrounded by green circular arrows and followed by a logo of a phone with a huge exclamation mark. It will remain so until I press and hold the power button to restart the phone.
The phone is working fine otherwise.
Is there any way for me to get the recovery to work again? I am using clockwork mod btw.
Could any bro or sis help me with the above issue?
Thank you all in advance.
Cheers
It seems to me that you have the stock recovery installed. You can flash the cwm custom recovery again.....
Or did u get a notification from an update to JB in your running OS. Boot it up and check if you have an update waiting.

What do you mean by stock recovery installed?
Yes, I have a JB update waiting to be installed.
Previously I have to go through some steps to prevent my rooting from being wipe out before performing an OTA update and one of them is to head into the recovery of Hboot before running some app to prevent the removal of root.
Just a quick info, I did not install custom rom on my phone, just a stock rooted phone.
Thank you.
If everything is 100% stock except the recovery , you have to flash the stock recovery back. It tries to update to JB but it runs in an error because of the (what i assume now) custom cwm recovery

No, I have not perform the JB update yet.
I am just trying to access the recovery at HBoot but got that error.
Is there a way to check if it is stock recovery or custom cwm recovery?
Thank you.
Don't know really, well if you flash the stock recovery over the existing one you will have for certain the stock
And if you downloaded the update it will continue to try to update everytime you enter the recovery, you said you are using clockworkmod recovery (5.8.4.0 ?)

Hi MarcelHofs,
I dont think so, it should either be 5.8.2.7 or 5.8.3.1.
I just hope to upgrade to JB without losing my root.

If you go into HBOOT and select recovery and you are getting those green arrows, you have the right recovery for installing the JB stock OTA so you don't need CWM yet, Does it say relocked or locked at the top of the HBOOT screen mate?
If it's unlocked, run the command, "fastboot oem lock" as you need to have the HBOOT locked with stock recovery installed for the OTA to install
Also the OTA won't delete any apps or settings
---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------
Actually, that exclamation mark you are mentioning is ringing alarm bells, you may need to reflash the stock recovery via fastboot, can you post a pic of the recovery screen you get? I will be home in an hour and can upload the file you need

Yes it is unlock.
At HBOOT, the green arrows is follow by a red exclamation mark if I select recovery, so I can still install JB OTA?
To run the command, my phone have to be in fastboot mode?

Thanks for taking time to look into my problem.
Hey, you have a great day at work thought overtime doesn't sound too nice a thing.
Cheers and thanks again.
Hi home now
what you need to do is put the attachment into your fastboot folder (where your unlocktoken.bin was when you unlocked your bootloader.)
Since your bootloader is unlocked, boot your phone into fastboot and then connect it to your pc
open a command prompt and link it to your fastboot folder (cd c:\fastboot - or whatever your path to this folder is)
then type the command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed_1.28.img
then type the command
fastboot oem lock
your Hboot/bootloader should then say relocked at the top and you will have the stock recovery installed.
reboot the phone, download the update and before long you should be basking in the fabled JB goodness
let me know if any problems

Back home !
Are we sure he needs the 1.28 stock recovery and not for example the 2.17 stock recovery.....these are different ?!
Please do this command in fastboot USB mode
Fastboot getvar version-main and post the result ....if it starts with 2.17 you need this recovery

ok, i think you've tried to flash a stock rom without flashing a stock recovery !!.
do you have fasboot adb on your pc ?
you need to unlock your bootloader and re flash a custom recovery
if not search the dev section for a tool that will unlock your boot and re-flash a custom recovery for you-all the instructions are on there.
once you have re unlocked and flashed a custom recovery,go into recovery and see if there are any backups of the previous rom (nand)
see if that works ..

According to the hboot (1.12) you need a 2.17 based ruu .... but i can't find it !
Tthe basic steps now are
Unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery

Get your nandroid backup there,(the vodap021 2.17) you need to flash the boot.img file from that nandroid with fastboot commands, then do a full wipe in recovery and restore the nandroid.
But you still have to fix the fastboot part right ? You need to install android SDK/java SDK and the HTC drivers. Then you have to put the phone in the bootloader and open a commandprompt from inside the folder where the adb/fastboot files are located ...they are in a subfolder in the installed javaSDK install folder

Thanks, it is beginning to make some sense to me now.
So first bit I got to do is the fastboot issue, which is tha last bit you mentioned right?
And after unlock boot loader than flash the recovery with one you provided in the link, tx
So that means I will go back to stock right?
Yes unlock, flash custom recovery, flash boot.img, full wipe in recovery, restore the nandroid, flash back the stock recovery .....
And yes this way you go back to stock and i will also give you the download link for the stock recovery. This one is the last you flash after restoring everything
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
Then you are able to update to JB from within the phones software update menu :thumbup:
Ps you do not have to relock the bootloader anymore !

Please guys, iWe spent all day trying to figure it out, after wipe phone reboots constantly and when if boot screen it's not charging so I'm prob going to run out of battery in a couple of hours
You restore through the custom recovery. Power+vol , choose recovery. If you flashed the recovery ok then you can do from in there. Ie mount usb, copy over your nand backup and restore it. You may have to flash the boot.img using fastboot.

Right basically i have a HOX and i want CM 10.1 on it! I have already rooted it with CWM recovery and still running the stock ICS 4.04, my HBOOT is version 1.12 and my CID is HTC__001. I have read that you need at least HBOOT version 1.31 to flash any JB rom but ive also read that once you flash the ROM you have to flash the BOOT.IMG after and it will work?? Help please!
and i keep seeing people refering to fastboot commands, i have fastboot files but not entirely sure how they work?? any help much appreciated
Did you alter the stock rom ..... Removed any system apps or something like that . Otherwise flashing back the stock recovery might be enough to update to JB
Ok so i guess being on HBOOT 1.12 doesnt matter, but i dont get how to flash the BOOT.IMG after flashing the ROM using fastboot. I dont want to go into it not knowing what im doing :laugh:

Yeah i deleted lots of bloatware and general crap i wont use. That was 1 thought i had if i updated the official firmware it would also update the hboot but didnt think it would be possible after rooting. If you hadnt guessed im a bit of a noob to this :laugh:
Edit : oke flashing the stock recovery won't work. You have to choices
1 flash a standalone firmware to lift your hboot
2 run the matching ruu to install the phone back to stock and then update to JB

You are now on stock rom , android 4.0.4 .... I guess when you flash back the stock 2.17 recovery back you can update with the official ota from HTC

Sorry, i always get paranoid when doing stuff like this haha but yes that's it
Now i assume your bootloader is still unlocked ?
First you Google for the ANDROID SDK PACKAGE. Download it and unpack it, check in the package for a folder named PLATFORM TOOLS, in there you see a file named FASTBOOT.EXE
In that folder you open a command window and type there (with the phone in the bootloader)
Fastboot devices
When a serial comes out you are good to go !
This file will bring the phone back to stock. back up what you need ....also the sdcard !!!
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
Download that file, put the phone in the bootloader and lock the bootloader with a fastboot command
Fastboot oem lock
The bootloader will restart with a warning sign, that's oke
Then keep it in the bootloader and execute the ruu from the pc with administrator rights.
Follow the program !
Ok thanks but i need help with these fastboot commands where do i do this from pc or phone? And how
Oh wait nevermind it looks like i completely ignored most of your post lol
If you have 1.5 hours i can help on teamviewer ? If you want !
Thanks mate ill give it a go myself if i get stuck anywhere i shall write on here
Sure mate ! Good luck ... Check for the collection of firmwares ....ready to flash :thumbup:

How do i do this? If i double click fastboot.exe i see CMD open and close real quick?
The trick is to open a command window inside that folder where the fastboot file is. Usually done by holding shift and right click in that folder - open command window here
There you need to type the commands. (Its in a dos commando window)
Ahhhh okay thanks i didnt know how to open it in a specific folder cheers will give it a go in the morning :good:
Im back to stock downloading the software update now woop woop thank you so much for your help!! I guess once its done i just unlock the bootloader again and can flash CM?
You used the ruu ? Then yes update the phone as much as you can
And yes unlock, flash a custom recovery DO A NANDROID BACKUP ASAP! and then you start flashing roms :thumbup:

Hi everyone! I installed the stock google edition on my HTC ONE M8 last night using adb command. Then I get in TWRP recovery try to restore my previous backup that I made using TWRP. Then I got an "restore failed". So, I get in wipe, but I chose the advanced wipe instead of factory reset because my old defy+ is this. I'm so stupid.... I deleted the system. Now I have no OS installed on my phone. I googled earlier that people were saying that using ADB sideload will work. I get in recovery and pressed the sideload but the progress bar just keep going for like 8 hours straight !!! What should I do?
Also, my phone has unlocked boot loader and S-OFF. I rooted my phone before I did the wipe.
Use adb push <nameofrom>.zip /sdcard and then flash that

Okay. But when I connect my phone to my PC. It makes the notification sound but did not recognize it. And when I typed in "adb devices" there is no devices attached.
It'll only show when booted into TWRP (so flash that in fastboot if you have to), and that's when you push the file

I see now. Does it matter which rom I use? I will try that when I get home. Also, how to use the adb sideload. I stuck in process for about 8hours since last night I pressed the button.
When you flashed the GPe ROM was it just the ROM or the full RUU?

I believe it was RUU.
If it was the RUU then you'll have to flash the firmware package in post 2 of the RUU thread before flashing a Sense-based ROM but if you want the GPe ROM back just flash the RUU again as per the original thread...

Okay. When I tried to use TWRP install the zip file. It told me failed. Is that wrong or should I use adb?
Your backup probably failed because it didn't backup correctly. It's happened to me a couple of times wirh TWRP. You should always check your backup works before deleting anything. There are stock backups available on this forum.
The RUU has to be flashed in fastboot using the fastboot commands, so if you're trying to flash it in TWRP it will fail. To flash the RUU, you have to:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <nameofzip>.zip
First time WILL fail, so then run the same command again - fastboot flash zip <nameofzip>.zip
fastboot reboot
This is ONLY for the RUU ZIP file and not a normal TWRP-flashable ZIP

Hopefully it will work. Thank you so much man!!! I will tell u if I make it working again. Thanks! Much appreciated!
What I posed there will get you back to a working GPe M8, to go back to Sense you'll have to go through Post 2 in the RUU thread

If you did want sense all you need to do is restore a stock backup and then flash firmware.
If you restore gpe ruu, just download a stock sense backup, the copy and paste the extracted folder it in the twrp folder and restore, then flash the firmware_splash.zip in RUU mode

You have to flash the FW package first THEN restore/flash a Sense ROM as TWRP won't mount the phone properly as the partitions are borked
