[Q] quick Hboot question - HTC One X

just a quick question,
I am trying to update my GF hox to a new jelly bean rom and I havent dont it in a while and people are mentioning upgrading the hboot.
She has hboot 0.94 so which hboot should I upgrade to?
is it just a matter of flashing the RUU specific to her phone (3 uk)?
cheers!

would really like a quick answer as im stuck on "HTC one X beats audio" screen

After looking here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2009525 it looks as though the jelly bean RUU for 3 UK has not yet been released.
So your best bet would be to flash an ics RUU and wait for the official jelly bean OTA update to come through on the phone. You can try a H3G UK RUU from here http://www.htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor ,but make sure to check what your main
version is using fastboot getvar version-main to see which RUU is the one you need.
You can't update the hboot until the firmware for your CID has been released.
I hope this helps.

What is the error code the RUU is giving? And if the bootloader is unlocked, try locking it and running the RUU again.
Does the fastboot getvar version-main command give you the number with .771 in it?
EDIT: Also, you need to flash a stock recovery if you don't already have one. You can get one from here http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=endeavoru_recovery_signed.img and rename it to recovery.img and then flash it through fastboot using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. But this has to be done before locking the bootloader.

hi thanks! it was because it was still unlocked
now i just have to find a decent ROM that is compatible!

All custom ROMs except those that run jellybean with HTC sense will work fine.
Any jellybean that are based on aosp, aokp or cm10 will work

Question about returning to stock

Hey,
Ive been running Jellybean (CM10) for about a month now, and I want to return to stock. My cid number is HTC_621, and when I tried to flash an RUU previously, it froze on the Sending screen for about 30 minutes. I did realize that it was trying to downgrade though, and was wondering if anyone has the newest RUU for that CID number.
Other questions:
Does my bootloader have to be locked to use an RUU?
Do I have to be on the stock recovery?
Thanks!

you can't because the RUU hasn't been released yet
You need to be locked only.
fastboot oem lock
What do you get from
fastboot getvar version-main
That is the RUU version you need (or newer).
unable recall wether HTC_621 should be from taiwan carriers.. But for 2.17/2.18 RUU wasn't leak yet. The only option you have was flash taiwan unbranded version. Actually 2.17 taiwan unbranded RUU's have only leak ROM.zip inside of it. But that's ennough for someone to cook custom RUU for taiwan unbranded, if you flash that your CID will be converted to taiwan unbranded too.
The command fastboot getvar version-main returns 2.17.751.2, so do I have to wait for the update to go out and get an RUU or is there one available? If not, I can wait but I just want to make sure that I can get back eventually.

If you want I have a nandroid backup of 3.14.709 which you can flash on HTC__621. It was taken after another user applied the OTA update. You can then just flash the new 1.31 hboot and then restore the backup via CWM and you will be on the latest official JB release. Send me a pm if interested and I'll give you the link.

What is your CID?? and version??
If there is a JB ruu for you, you can go to stock JB . You cant use a ruu that is based on the 2.17 or lower. You have an updated Hboot so going back to stock ICS with a ruu is impossible......
You can run a ics stock rom and flash the stock recovery after and relock the bootloader, then it seems you are on stock but only with a updated Hboot. That's the closest to stock ICS you can get !

Edit, was reading wrong : we don't need the rom you are running. We need the main version number to determin the right ruu.
Do fastboot command

Yep this ruu is compatible with your CID. But i would warn you that it is a 'leaked' experimental ruu and not an official htc release... So theres no gurantee.

VOADAP 012 CID HBOOT upgrade on OSX?

yeah thats all good, I just havent found any instructions (yes im a semi noob at this) that don't involve using .exe files when installing RUU's
I upgraded a VODAP021 One X a week ago from HBOOT 1.12. I didn't need to run a RUU in order to upgrade, because Vodafone has already released an OTA for Jellybean that takes your HBOOT to 1.36. I'd imagine it would be the same case for you. All you need to do is make sure you're running stock Vodafone ROM and stock recovery.

ive been rooted and running custom roms since like 5 days after I got the device which was pretty much a week after it was released so I am definitely not running anything stock.
I saw you in the nand backup collection thread, what happend ? You found your matching nandroid ? Please give some info. Its dificult to help this way....
Did you do the fastboot getvar version-main

[Q] HOX freezes on boot (both on custom and stock roms)

Hi to all
well, to keep this short, hox tegra on orange uk (cid orang001) so it's still s-on, unlocked the bootloader using hasoon2000's thread and tool (great piece of work btw, thank you), installed twrp, then installed android revolution JB, after wich the phone got stuck freezing during the htc logo at boot
tried to revert back to stock, freezing on boot still, one of the problems is I can't update the hboot- fastboot oem lock, fastboot flash zip etc. sends back an "failed to write, no permission" error and I'm not sure I understand how to flash a RUU from the recovery or fastboot
hboot is 1.12 still and radio is 2.1204.105.14
some advice as to where I have gone wrong is much appreciated, thank you
Do these commands in order to update the hboot:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (repeat this command until it succeeds)
Then you should be able to unlock the boot loader, flash twrp and flash the boot.img of arhd.

Thanks for helping me out, okay so on rebootRUU command the phone shows a black screen with htc in silver, that's the mode for installing RUU's am I correct and while in this mode I tried to push the hboot file but it says (remote: 12 signature verify fail), I suppose the stock recovery that I tried is not good enough, at this point I'm a bit lost in the heap of files, would you mind directing me to a recovery I could use?
Correct. It doesn't matter at all which recovery you have... the problem must be your fimware file. Did you take the right one based on your CID?
like I said I got lost in the myriad of files)) okay so I followed your thread "[INFO] Where to acquire EndeavorU RUUs" and I'm currently downloading RUU's from Android Files, there's three of'em for orang001 and I've tried installing the newest but it said that the bootloader version doesn't match, oh, and now my radio is 5.1204.162.29 can I just try running the two left RUU's and see what happens?
It must match
fastboot getvar version-main
Also, you must relock the boot loader before running a RUU (fastboot oem lock)
Sent from my IceCold One X
okay, the bootloader was relocked, problem was RUU version, mine is 2.17.61.3 and I can't find a RUU of that version anywhere, there's a nandroid backup link but it's down I've searched for a "re-upped" post but couldn't find that either. guess "today is not a good day for science"
RUU/nandroid unavailable. Firmware.zip is your only chance.
What happens if you try to flash it? It should say OKAY after 2-3 tries.

can I use this for flashing then?:

Saved my life, thank you so much!
So I got it back to stock with hboot 1.36 and radio 5.1204 and also I suppose it's a JB now as opposed to Ice Cream before?
Now if I unlock it, flash twrp and nandroid bkup I should be able to flash it with ARHD 21 JB?
also might you tell me if unbranding it would mean s-off?
and just a small unrelated question, running a wifi hotspot tether on a 2.3.7 is accessible by the pc and an iphone but cannot be seen by Ice Cream and JB, why is that?

Yes, you can flash arhd 21.
You'd need s-off in order to unbrand, which is not available for our hox.
Don't know about the WiFi tether thingy, maybe it works fine on arhd...

[Q] Can't flash the device to stock rom using RUU

Hi,
I'm trying to restore from custom rom to stock rom.
My phone is CID ORANG216 and I'm using xx.xx.65.xx RUU releases.
I have 2 relevant files:
The RUU exe - RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_Orange_CH-Generic_2.17.65.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_275590_signed.exe
OTA UPDATE for the device - OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_Orange_CH-Generic_3.16.65.2-2.17.65.2_release_296426gf2xgpisn8xs0fti
After flashing the stock recovery, boot_signed.img, rebootRUU, the RUU update fails because of version failure, I suspect that the HBOOT version is the trouble maker.
My phone is unlocked with S-ON with HBOOT 1.36 and the HBOOT in the RUU is 1.12 .
Due to S-ON I cant change the hboot.
I can't seem to find a workaround for it and install the RUU.
Any ideas??
I even thought about compiling the latest JB release from htcdev development center and flash it...

You need to relock the bootloader to use install RUU . It has nothing to do with hboot . Just take note that you have to use the RUU that is on the same build or higher .

doesn't work... I'm getting "Error [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR"
The only RUU exe available is the one i mentioned and its old
I don't know how to use the OTA file without the original stock rom already installed...
if it helps anything the command "fastboot getvar version-main" on my device gives:

Like I mentioned . You have to look for the version that's the same with yours or higher to use the RUU . I guess you can't go back to stock until you find the RUU of your version or higher . Maybe you could try a stock ROM nand backup ?

I don't think your questions relate to the subject here.
Anyway, custom roms are based on the stock rom and most of the times include a file called firmware.zip, look it up in the costum_rom.zip file.
hboot updates are tricky on this device and for upgrading it (from ICS to JB supported hboot) you need a special firmware built for your specific htc one x model (look at the manuals for more instructions).
For the battery saving, I think it depends on the rom you install and not the kernel (or maybe both because they come together?), check out for old posts about that issue, I'm sure its not the first time someone asks about it.
hope it helps
