Hello
That's probably a noob question but I'm not a 100% sure what to do:
I bought a used HOX and didn't know that the bootloader was unlocked. The Rom that's running at the moment is Android Revolution HD. My CID is T-MOB012 (Tmobile Austria) and I'm currently on ICS (4.0.3) and Sense 4.0. My question is now:
I wanna update to JB (ViperX would be the best..). The problem is, that I don't have the unlock code from HTC dev since the phone was unlocked by the former owner (I'm in contact with him right now, so I hope I'll get it...). Can I just relock the bootloader and get a new unlock code from HTC dev? Can I flash ViperX? I read some posts where it said yes, some where no, so I'm not quite sure...
My idea would be the following: Backup --> Flash stock RUU (JB OR ICS?) --> flash new hBoot (there is 1.36 for TMO AT...) --> flash ViperX.
Will this work like that? Will this work without the original unlock code from HTC Dev?
Thanks for answers

You can get a new unlock code, just go through the htcdev process.
I'm not quite sure why would you do both RUU and flash hboot. Using a jb based ruu will update hboot as well as flashing it separately. No need for both.
And FYI: You will anyways need to lock bootloader and reunlock it, so you'll need the unlock code before attempting to update hboot.
Are you familiar with fastboot commands?

Yeah sure, I was making roms and stuff for desire z but I'm not yet familiar with the HOX.
So flashing viper will be possible although I don't have a HTC_... CID?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Yes, it is possible, because your cid is listed here.
1. Download the appropriate package for your cid and place it in your fastboot folder.
2. Make a backup of the current ROM and store it on your pc.
3. Make sure you have the unlock_code.bin in handy, you will need it. You will also need a custom recovery like cwm.
4. "fastboot oem lock" //locks the bootloader
5. "fastboot rebootRUU" //reboot in RUU mode
6. "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" //will probably fail the first time, just run again
7. "fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin" //re-unlock the bootloader
8. "fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img"
9. "fastboot erase cache"
Now you should be all set to flash Viper X JB with your hboot 1.36!

I know this is really a stupid question but since I don't have the unlock key from the unlock, I need to do the unlock process again before flashing the hboot, right? So before starting the unlock process from htcdev, I need to fastboot oem lock, right?
Yes, you need to be locked to unlock.
Any updates?

So, here is my question:
If I want to upgrade my Hboot, I need to flash stock (ICS) RUU first and then flash new firmware. I did this when I upgraded to 1.23. But now when I need to upgrade to 1.28 It says "relocked" and below "security warning". Only thing that helped me before was flashing stock RUU (ICS). But now I can not flash ICS RUU. Is there anything I can do except waiting stock JB stock RUU? Like, will it help if I flash stock recovery? Will it remove "security warnig" and boot into costum ROM?
I don't know how clear I explained my problem but I hope you get it
Thanks in advance!
First lock your bootloader , then In fastboot type fastboot oem rebootRUU, that will put you in ruu mode. Then flash the new firmware. Then fastboot reboot-bootloader, then unlock your bootloader again

I have been searching all day but didn't find anything. I guess you didn't even read what I wrote. So please stop complaining, if there was somewhere the post that would help me, well, I couldn't find it. So get over it, that sometimes people post a new thread that has already been posted, this is a huge web site and sometimes it's not easy to find what exactly you need.
Thanks

thank you for your answer, and for not suing me for my post. I'll give it a try, I hope it will work
this is the guide man, it was in the first post.... you have to follow this guide to update your HBOOT, no need to flash a RUU....
this guide is taken from Shnizlon:
1. Download the ROM and place it on your virtual SD card.
2. Relock your bootloader via HTCDev.
3. Go into fastboot mode and type 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'.
4. Flash new firmware using this commend: 'fastboot flash zip PJ46IMG.zip' or using Y cable.
4a.On first time running the commend you will see FAILED, don't panic and just run the commend again.
5. Reunlock your bootloader via HTCDev.
6. Flash custom recovery using this commend: 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.
7. Download boot.img and flash it using this commend: ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’.
8. Use 'fastboot erase cache' to avoid boot issues.
9. Go into recovery and install the ROM.
10. Reboot your device and enjoy from JB!

how can i lock bootloader on sony tipo dual? any idea?
It's "fastboot oem lock" for all android devices, but this forum is seriously not for and sony phone, it's for HTC One X.

Title says it all. I know that with S-OFF, things should be easier than with S-ON. Nut this is my first Android device and even if I read different threads regarding rooting/flashing, etc., things are still complicated specially because the guides are specifically made for S-ON devices - which is understandable, I know. Considering that the existence of S-OFF HTC One Xs are almost a myth.
It sounds like you do know that S-OFF is not generally available for the HOX. So, do you have S-OFF and what specific things are you trying to figure out?
Here are a couple of simple things:
if you have S-OFF, then when you flash a ROM from recovery it will also update the boot.img so you don't need to flash the boot.img separately in bootloader mode.
If you are flashing an hboot, you don't have to the fastboot oem lock first.
The OP has an S-OFF One X and has NO idea what he's doing...complete waste of an S-OFF device IMO

Oh, i know that one! Had to flash a RUU after I got stuck on boot trying to install a custom ROM. Anyway, S-off or not, do I need CWM? Because that's where I think I got wrong. I never heard of clockwork mod before I installed this custom rom. Now I am reading this guide but it doesn't mention where I should put the recovery.img before I flash it.
Yes you do. Having s-off means you can fall back on any RUU to go back to stock. Other than that you follow the same guides as everyone else

You shouldn't have to do the htcdev unlock
If you want to flash any ROMs or make system backups you must install a recovery such as CWM or TWRP
Perhaps Titanium backup is a not must, but I would highly recommend it. That has nothing to do with S-ON vs S-OFF. It's a very useful tool for backing up your applications and other information. The paid version is well worth the money.
In general, as was mentioned before, you can still follow all the guides step by step. It's possible that some steps don't apply to you, but it won't hurt to do them. If you aren't sure what you are doing then it's better not to guess about which steps to skip.
I have got to the part on installing a custom recovery, but it says NOT ALLOWED. I asked some recognized members and some said that it is not enough that I am s-off to flash custom recovery, that I should also unlock bootloader.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
OK, that makes sense because you have to flash recovery from the bootloader. I think it would save you some time and confusion if you just pretend that you have S-ON like everyone else and follow all steps of the guides you are using.
If you do that, including unlocking your bootloader, then the main difference for you will be when flashing a new ROM from CWM or TWRP since the boot.img will get updated. With S-ON that can't happen from recovery, the boot.img can only be flashed from the bootloader screen.

When having S-OFF you have to give the command on whicht partition you want. As I heard you can't say recovery or something.
I managed this with the application "Rom Manager". Also S-OFF device. But for flashing a CWM through "Rom Manager" you have rooted your phone first.

Some devs don't include the boot.img in their rom zip so you'd still have to flash it separately with fast boot.
To unlock your bootloader simply type fastboot oem unlock, unlike s-on phones, you don't require the unlock file from htcdev.com

Hi Stuart,
Even if the boot.img is included in the zip you need to flash the boot.img separate isn't?
What I'm trying to say is, it doesn't make a difference if they include it in the zip or not, if it's not included you only need to download twice.

With S-OFF, if the boot.img is in the ROM then you don't need to flash it separately.

Hi guys,
I have searched a bit but havent really found a solid guide.
I just brought my gf a HOX, and I checked it was shipped with Ship S-off, CID11111111111, Hboot 1.12
Now when I looked for guides to install CMW, all the method includes unlocking at HTCdev and fastboot.
Now I understand I can skip the fastboot method with S-off, how do I flash CMW and custom roms? Do I just put in the CMW.zip fie into the sd card partition, go to stock recovery and flash it as update.zip?
My previous phones were the Defy (2ndinit method) and the droid razr (bootstrap), how do I get CMW with an S-off HOX?
Thanks all, dont flame me for not searching, I didnt find any obvious method :silly:
You should be able to flash it directly with fastboot using "fastboot flash recovery NameOfFile" command or you use one of the flash tools.
Edit: After installation of cwm you are able to install custom rom via recovery
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
You follow every other guide, just ignoring the bit about HTCDev as you don't need it
Not skip fastboot, just skip unlocking through HTCDev. You just can flash custom recovery via Fastboot, without unlocking youre device.
Edit: Sorry guys I didn't read your above comments.
Wow its that simple? Even if it shows "locked" on the top, I can just ignore that right?
Cool thanks
Yep, as you have S-OFF so already have access to the other partitions

So what's the point s-off then???
You have to do it just once and from there on you can flash boot.img files from sdcard, without the computer. And you can up/downgrade your hboot as much as you like. At least I think it works that way.

Try that, didnt work.
But I got it figured out after reading some Chinese websites.
Basically fastboot wont work because it is still locked, but S-off means you can flash any RUU.
So I downloaded a RUU flashing tool, then just put the custom recovery.img into the RUU.zip (with nothing else inside but the android.txt file) and flashed it.
Now I have CMW and I can flash anything without having to fastboot boot.img
IF your phone is S-OFF you don't have to unlock the bootloader, you can just flash things 'out the box'. Follow guides as if you've already unlocked the bootloader

So if someone wants to install the JB firmware.zip and have a CID of 11111111, should they change their CID to a compatible one or can they just add 11111111 to the androidinfo.txt and then flash it and it'll ignore the broken signature?
What if they need to flash a boot.img seperately (a repack for example), can they do this using fastboot without unlocking it?

[I suspect how I can fix it]
Unlock the relocked bootloader, flash proper or another recovery.img to fix the corrupted recovery (or an entirely wrong reovery)
Re-download the OTA from carrier with suspicion that it might be corrupted
Find the correct RUU.exe to flash it

These are the story, I am kinda of a newb in this business, but I can say I am good at follow instructions.
Any help from you guys will be greatly appreciated!
I am currently out of ideas, searched through the internet and xda for hours last night didn't find anything.

Unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, restore nandroid backup according to your CID, flash boot.img from nan backup & stock recovery which you can find at 1st link you mentioned in your post then reboot & check update OTA and install it.

Thanks guys, so it seems that indeed I have flashed the incorrect recovery.
I guess the next question is how do I unlock my bootloader from "relock" status?
[I have tried]
Just flash a recovery through fastboot
Re-flash unlock token that came from HTC Dev when I first unlocked the phone
fastboot oem unlock
and none worked for me
thanks
Flash the unlock code again
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
Must work or get a new token at the dev site
