Hi guyz. I have my HTC One X which was carrier branded to optus. i wiped and flashed a stock rom and stock recovery, which took away the optus splash screen and bloatware. I've realised that optus approved of the jellybean update but its not appearing on my phone. also do u need to lock the bootloader for ota updates? also a basic description of why and what android sdk is.
thanks in advance
Its because you have a stock ROM that's based off another region and not the actual Optus stock ROM which you need, the bloat ware and carrier logo at boot up should be present in order to receive OTAs.
What you should do is download the Optus nano droid backup in the general section and restore it to return to stock.

ok thanks. im downloading the nandroid backup for htc one x jellybean optus from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
is there a way to get stock jellybean sense rom on my device? or remove the splash screen and bloatware after i flash the optus backup
thnx
Yeah... Install one. Mike1986 has a stock JB ROM.
So, after you return to stock and receive the JB update, you'll be ready to install a custom JB ROM.
ok thanks guyz. i got one more question, im getting the stock nandroid jb rom for optus, do i have to update my hboot or anything like that? befor flashing?
UPDATE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970 this is a stock jb rom for one x, can i flash this instead of the jb optus nandroid backup (the hosting site is annoyingly slow). and again do i need to update hboot for this rom, if yes how. thanks
You need a stock rom from Optus and the stock recovery to be able to update the phone. Restore the Optus nandroid,flash the boot.img from the nandroid and flash back the matching stock recovey, then you can update the phone
thats good. but im asking, is it neccessary to update my hboot for the JB optus nandroid backup? and for a stock htc JB rom?
You need to restore the nandroid backup that matches the software number of the phone ! If its 2.17 you should restore the 2.17 Optus nandroid and update officially to JB, the update will take care of flashing the higher hboot to 1.36 or even 1.39. After that you have to flash a custom recovery and flash a custom rom again.
Fastboot getvar version-main
That will say which one you need.you can't just restore the JB nandroid. The hboot has to be updated for JB roms
ok thanks, but i also have the hboot for jelly bean (optus), which i got from here http://d-h.st/users/ClydeB1/?fld_id=8110#files
can i use jelly bean flasher and flash the hboot 1.36. then the JB rom?
the reason why is that i cant find a nandroid for ics optus. so im thinking of any other ways
Yes if the cid matches you can flash the firmware that will bring you to a higher hboot and flash JB roms
I see a Optus 2.17 backup here

Rather than commit suicide, could try installing a version of clockworkmod that isn't ancient. I suggest 5.8.4.0.
No need for suicide !

Update hboot optus001 manually
Hi i was wondering how you flash the hboot as mentions in the earlier post, I to need optus001 2.17 nandroid backup but cant get it unless link is changed to public.
However it seamed that your work around got u there, I have dowmloaded the hboot 1.36 optus zip & the recovery 5.8.4.0 file, I have also downloaded ARHD 18.1 + boot img.. I'm currently hrunning ARHD 9.7..
So were can i get a hboot flasher compatible with optus001 cid & is this all the stuff i will need & is there any threads that may help walk me thru the process's..
Any help would be great, I seemed to have it down packed till i went back to stock & optus updated my hboot to 1.12 after this my stock ruu wont work & i seem stuck. (Reading threads its clear that if i had restarted my phone one more time the JB update would have been there & all this stress saved)
Kind regards

Get your firmware.zip from the download link in this thread (by ClydeB) your cid is exactly Optus_001 ?
http://d-h.st/mBx
then put the phone in fastboot usb mode, lock the bootloader and follow this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
You have to flash the firmware.zip with the given commands in the thread.
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash firmware.zip
All this is done with a locked bootloader and the phone in fastboot usb mode.
After the fastboot oem rebootRUU command the phone will restart and stall in a black screen with a silver HTC logo then you perform the firmware flash. Unlock the bootloader again and flash a custom recovery, then you are ready for JB
NOTE : charge the battery before you start !!!

Just popped up on my One X in the UK. Installing now. Looks the same as the other updates (360-odd MB.) At last! Version is 3.16.61.6
Edit - Now installed & feels great. Things I've noticed Orange have done:
- Browser icon changed to previous Orange icon (grrr!)
- Apps now include "Best Deals" (no idea - will disable), HTC Media Link HD (sure it wasn't there before)
Kernel is 3.1.10-g0867ccf
Yes, just got this myself too. There is also a "Lookout Security" app and a "Power Saver" feature. Will try that instead of Juice Defender for a while and see what happens.
OMG i just can't believe it, they said on FB "early new year", and now that suprise
now i have to back to stock and install it
Good news - glad to hear. Thanks.
I can't go back to stock 1.29.061.11 and i don't know why :/ Please share the RUU or ZIP file (is there a way to flash this OTA zip file via stock/custom recovery?).

Have you got the 1.29.061.11 ruu? If so all you have to do is relock your bootloader and then run it. If it won't run while your booted for some reason do it while your in fastboot.

From reading the instructions I need to flash Clock WorkMod, then do the Nandroid stuff is that right?
I've already got a relocked bootloader as I did have ARHD.
Could you give me some idiot proof instructions? The ones in that post don't seem to be overly friendly to people who aren't familiar with this. Many thanks
Don't worry it was my first time too
I believe you know how to use te commend line and fastboot commends
1. Unlock your bootloader
2. Flash CWM recovery
3. Download the Nandroid Backup 2.17.61.3 CID ORANG001 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
4. Create folder in sdcard of your HOX (your sdcard\clockworkmod\backup\ put here unpacked nandroid "2012-12-22.14.26.42"
5. Copy boot.img from nandroid folder to fastboot folder in your PC
6. Flash the boot.img
7. Go to CWM and "Backup&Restore" -> "Restore", confirm you want restore it and thats it
8. Now you have only to flash stock recovery and relock bootloader
I hope you can understand my instruction, my english isn't perfect
Thank you for this, I'm gunna give it a go when I get home
This phone is proving to be a nightmare to return to stock. I have the correct RUU, extracted the rom.zip from it, flashed boot_signed.img & recovery_signed.img and the relocked. I left the phone in hboot like in the video and ran the RUU and it just says error 120, the battery is too low but the battery is at 96%. CID is HTC__621, getvar version-main says 1.29.751.12 and the RUU is called 'RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Chunghwa_1.29.751.12_Radio_1.1204.107.14_release_261363_signed'. Does anyone have any insight? Thanks.
Unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery ......do a full wipe, also batt stats ! Then relock the bootloader and keep the phone in fastboot usb mode , then run the ruu with admin rights ! Right click the ruu and select it
I've mentioned this before and believe it or not it's worked for at least one other person, no idea why, but it works:
unplug your phone and plug it in to a different USB port on your computer, preferably one in the back (those hard to reach ones, 'cause nothing is easy about going back to stock).
I've tried both suggestions and it still says the battery is lower than 30% even though its above 85%. I tried all three USB ports on my laptop. I've even tried 4 different USB cables, a black HTC one, a white HTC one, my Nexus 7 one and one I got from a dollar store. Never have I wanted to destroy a phone as much as I do now..
Faulty battery .... Nothing i can do about that. Sorry
What if you do
Fastboot getvar all
It gives also the batt stat

Battery Status says good and it says 4080mV.
This sounds stupid.... But.....did you reboot the pc once and then check again. And check if there is a 2.17 ruu available for you and run that one
I didn't. Let me try that.
Same results and its now at 88%. Better Battery Stats reports good battery health as well. Ultimately I just want to tryout the JB Sense ROMS. My CID is HTC__621 so I tried to flash the firmware for my CID but I get a failure message upon that too.
You have a working rom on it ? We can do this without a ruu. Do you have a nandroid backup of the stock rom ? Otherwise we have to check in the nandroid backup thread from Matt95 in the general section. And restore that one

I don't have a Nandroid back up, I bought the phone used already with a custom ROM on it. I've been using ICJ AOKP since I got it but I wanna give the Sense ROMs a test run. Do you have a link to that thread?
Found the thread. There's a JB Nandroid for my CID (HTC__621) but it says I have to have the latest Hboot installed but the firmware won't flash.
Check the rom threads for a rom you would like, only ICS sense roms work on your hboot. Look around and pick one out ....
Download it and put it on the sdcard, copy out the boot.img and place it in your fastboot flash folder.
Put the phone in fastboot usb mode and flash the boot.img
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then enter the recovery and do a FULL wipe then install the rom.zip
I can check tonight if there is a way to get you to stock so you can update to JB. I'm off now .... @ work
I was just running InsertCoin 9.7.0 but I miss the JB features. I restored a Nandroid to ICJ for now. I tried to flash the firmware again and it gave me an error again and I've attached a screenshot of it.
OK, I managed to get it to start flashing the firmware.zip but it said something about flushing the image first. Screenshot attached.
What is that firmware.zip ? if you want to restore the nandroid you have to flash the boot.img that is inside the nandroid backup folder. No need to flash firmwares to restore a nandroid !
Edit : a the firmware to upgrade to a JB hboot, I'm a bit distract here
Did u locked the bootloader before running the upgrade commands ?
I didn't lock the bootloader first. That did it. Thank you so much for all your help.
And now you can also return to stock because there is also a stock nandroid available for you ! :thumbup:
CASE CLOSED
Flashed the firmware, flashed the boot in the Nandroid for my CID and restored the Nandroid and it works like a charm. Flashed the stock recovery, relocked the bootloader and got update 3.14.709.20. Now I'm making a Nandroid of it. Thanks again for all your help, Mr Hofs.
Well I tried custom firmware after successfully unlocking my HTC One X. It says Unlocked but S-ON so not sure whats going on there? But since S-On I cannot change the CID as get the error (status read failed (too many links)) MY CID is H3G_001 and since I rooted my phone refuses to let me upgrade to OTA Jellybean which is frustrating forcing custom firmware.
Without updating CID I got stuck in a bootloop at least I guess it was as it was just stuck on the quitely brilliant screen for 20 minutes before I shut it off and tried another firmware which did the same. I am now in the process of a Nandroid recovery so I can at least use the phone. Three have a ton of bloatware which sucks. But I gotta stick with it as cannot figure out why it wont let me flash.. All help is appreciated. This phone is alot harder to flash than my HTC Desire which was a breeze.

you cannot s-off the one x, all you have done is unlock the bootloader which will allow you to flash clockwork recovery and flash su etc.
Unlocked s-on is normal.
Unlocking has nothing to do with s-off
At present there is no way to change your cid.
2x errors have occurred here
Ota updates fail after rooting if you leave the custom recovery on there.
You needed to unlock. Flash or boot custom recovery.
Flash supersu binaries
Flash stock recovery
Then boot ROM.
That way it would have been rooted and still allow ota updates.
You have made things worse by flashing the firmware.zip
By flashing the firmware you have updated your hboot. Probably to 1.36
Which will no longer work for the ICS ROM that is on your phone.
You need to find a nandroid backup for jellybean for your cid.
Just switching to PC to find you some links
ok looked more into it
you should still be able to boot after restoring your nandroid.
dont forget to pull the boot.img from your backup and reflash it as flashing the firmware will have put the JB boot.img on
you will want to restore the stock recovery which you can find in the firmware.zip once you have restored your backup
reboot into your rom and do the OTA that way

I restored from my nandroid and its working fine, all back to 4.0.4 with the phone unlocked I used CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip when i rooted my phone (or at least im sure I did as I did root over 6 months ago now).
So how would I go about updating to a custom firmware then?? Instead of the OTA as would prefer to get rid of the bloatware as half the apps aren't even English..
If you want a custom ROM
Try looking at something like latest android revolution HD
Very similar to stock but no bloat.

Okay thanks for that but how do I get it to work with my CID is what I would like to know do I have to first get OTA jellybean working then a custom firmware to update the CID? It seems a little confusing.. I listed my CID in first post but like I also said all custom firmwares I tried Viper X 3.3.4 and skydragon both left me with a phone stuck on boot screen for 20 minutes until i gave up and just turned off.
Your cid is irrelevant for anything except going to stock.
Custom ROMs arnt dependent on cid.
But they are dependent on hboot versions.
Cm10 ROMs will not work on any hboot>1.12
Any sense jellybean ROMs or ROMs with 3.1 kernels need a hboot version of at least 1.23
Couldn't saw viperx ROM but dragon is based on 3.17 so your hboot has to be minimum of 1.23
After installing the custom ROM you did flash the boot.IMG in fastboot didn't you?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
where i get the boot.img? I think i may have missed that part *duh* OKAY nm found that hboot is 1.12 need to update... Updating the Hboot means I have to go back to stock right? Then update OTA to get Hboot update then I can get JB..

You need a stock boot.img, stock recovery and a stock ICS Rom. Then you will get OTA to JB, upgrading that way your hboot. Then you can flash any custom JB Rom.
P.s. The correct boot.img is in the rom's zip folder. Every time you change the rom you should flash the proper boot.img.

Yeah problem is I need RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_H3G_UK_2.17.771.3 to go back to stock and it doesn't exist.. Anyway around the RUU exe ?
EDIT NM found I can use the nandroid method.. Giving it a shot now.
Go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
And download your matching nandroid ! Restore it including flashing the boot.img from the nandroid. After that you flash this recovery back
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
And you are on stock again. And also able to update to JB
That did NOT work I got back to stock but without the RUU exe file it seems it will not install I loveked my phone aswell and when i try to install the OTA update i just get kicked to bootloader.
Edit didnt see above post sorry
So did it work.....I know my method works !
Sorry yeah it worked Was up till stupidly late trying to do it as I was following another method as I never saw yours (a really old one) Where I locked my phone so had to unlock etc.. Plus download that update OTA each time took 1 hour. I'm now on stock with Hboot 1.39 thankyou so much really appreciate! So now I just reflash recovery yeah? And backup nandroid then go for my custom rom?
Yes exactly !
I now have Android Revolution working perfectly and since I paid for Nova Prime I decided to go for lite after all and removed Sense thank so much for that method so much easier than the guides on here which make it sound so difficult I really was pulling my hair out!
Nice ! Glad it worked :thumbup:
CASE CLOSED !
Hi,
First time user of an Android device. I have a branded Vodafone HTC One X that I unlocked and flashed Cyanogenmod 10 on. It works wonderful, runs really fast and is overall much better than Sense. Now that Cyanogenmod 10.1 has reached beta stage, I'm intending on trying out JB 4.2.1. In order to do that, I need to update my HBOOT past 1.28.
It is here that I am quite lost. I did a bit of reading around on xda and other forums to figure out the best method and got a lot of different and sometimes conflicting info. I think this FAQ is the most accurate to my situation although I am worried that it is out of date: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660807
If it helps, the current HBOOT version on my phone is 1.12 and the CID is VODAP021.
It seems the consensus is that I have to (from top to bottom order):
Revert back to stock Sense ROM
Revert back to stock recovery
Relock bootloader (Do I lose root when I do this?)
Run the correct RUU for my phone in order to update HBOOT
Re-unlock bootloader, re-root (if necessary), re-flash custom recovery and flash CM10.1
Are all the above steps correct?
I am aware that there is a collection of stock Nandroid backups somewhere on this forum, but for simplicity's sake can I just restore the Nandroid backup I made prior to flashing Cyanogenmod on my phone? Will restoring the backup also restore the boot.img file? Will the backup also revert my phone back to stock recovery?
Also, I looked on the RUU directory (http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Endeavor) and found two RUU's that match my phone's CID: 1.26.862.3 and 1.29.862.11. Which one is correct?
Sorry if I seem to be bombarding with questions. I think I get the gist of it, but I'm rather paranoid of screwing up so I just want to triple check my understanding before I do anything. If I am over-complicating things, please let me know.
Yes root is lost on lock ( only remporarily ). When you unlock with fastboot oem unlock_token.bin you get back root.
Has Vodafone released JB update for your phone? If yes , then you dont need RUU. After returning to complete stock ( even recovery ) you cant update with official OTA . This will update the hboot.
You only have to revert to full stock and stock recovery. The bootloader can stay unlocked ! :thumbup:
And yes the ota is out for him
The basic steps are :
Flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup
Full wipe in recovery (caches,data,system)
Restore the nandroid backup
Flash the stock recovery
According to your hboot 1.12 you are on 2.17 based android 4.0.4 software .....
This is your stock recovery

There was indeed an OTA for my phone which updated HBOOT to 1.36. Updated to CM10.1 with no dramas and was much simpler than I anticipated.
Thanks everyone for all the advice!
Nice ! Glad we could help !
CASE CLOSED !
How is CM10.1 working?

Im a noob, but I think you have to go back to the stock sense ROM and then gete the official update to Jelly Bean. After that you will have the 1.39 HBOOT and then you can install CM10.1

hello dudes... my cid no is "HTC__023"... when i first got the phone I made an OTA update when my bootloader had been still locked.... then i unlocked it, flashed a custom recovery, and flashed the ICS Android Revolution which i still hv now... ok i want to upgrade to jelly bean. i downloaded this stock RUU "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.24_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed"
which i thought was the correct one for me... it's saying that the image version is being updated from (Image version: 2.17.728.5) to (Image version: 3.14.707.24)... after it starts updating the signature, it gives me ((error 159: image error))... hv i missed sth ?
any solution plz even with a JB custom rom...
P.S.
I flashed a stock recovery and relocked bootloader before starting the update process.

I think that you have take a incorrect RUU and if i am correct your phone now is a.... XD!
Any ways i dont know a lot of RUU but seem to be incorrect because the numbers doent matxh "x.xx.728.x" "x.xx.707.x", and i think that these three numbers have to be the same!

If you are asking a question, you need to ask your question in the correct subforum, which I have moved this thread to.
There is no usable ruu for you, and i don't see a "new" nandroid backup either. But you can do this :
Download here your matching firmware. The HTC__023 one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
Place the file in the fastboot folder and rename it to firmware.zip
Put the phone in the bootloader and relock it. Then flash the firmware
Fastboot oem lock
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Do it multiple times until it says Oke, if it does not the first time !
Reboot the bootloader (hold power button and volume - button until you are in the bootloader)
Unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and install a new JB rom of your choice
Even if the rom is stock or it's not possible.
In fact there is a JB stock nandroid you can use. But you have to update the hboot first
http://bugsylawson.com/index.php/files/file/186-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-htc-023-3177281/
ok but i meant to say can i use ANY stock rom of my choice coz i want full arabic support or maybe i shd stick to my cid -related roms?
When you upgraded the hboot you can use any rom out here. Custom roms, stock rom.....whatever you want. The only cid related rom here is that stock nandroid backup i linked you. 99% of the custom roms here are based on the wwe base.
Thank you very much for giving a helping hand... it worked... i flashed the firmware successfully ... one last thing: generally, we flash a stock recovery and relock the bootloader before we install a stock RUU using the computer i mean ... Can i now, after flashing the firmware, install ANY stock RUU, arabic to be specific, using the computer as usual without flashing a stock recovery and locking my bootloader?
thank you
No you must flash a custom recovery and flash a custom rom. Or you must restore the stock nandroid backup.
You can't run a ruu. There is no ruu available for you to use.
2 choices :
1: install any custom JB rom
2: restore the stock 3.17 nandroid backup, flash back the stock 3.17 recovery. Then you be able to install official OTA
after i flashed the firmware and twrp jb recovery i cant access the sd card from the recovery anymore... pc says Mtp failed
any ideas?
ah ok got it sorted out.. i tried cwm recovery and it mounted successfully ....
Oke cool,so its all sorted now ?
Yes got it all .. thank you
However, as you can see in the attached image the internal storage is nearly full. Well I just flashed the Rom as you know. I wonder what the problem could be.

Check the installed apps list. Maybe the user installed apps before making the nandroid backup
