[Q] HTC One X, OTA update to Jelly Bean

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 !

As i recall this right you have to check for partial wakelocks. Charge the phone full before you go to bed and leave it off the charger overnight

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
Clemenator

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 !!!

help updating hboot

I want to upgrade my hboot so i can run a jb rom. How do i go about doing this? My current hboot is 0.43.00000 and cid is H3G__001. It is also S-ON but unlocked.

First : are you on a custom rom now and do you know how the recovery and fastboot commands work ?
And did you make a nandroid backup of the stock original rom ?

I am on stock 4.0.3 and yes I know how the fastboot commands work. I know how to use clockwork recovery if that counts too.

Oke maybe an easy one, is the rom full stock as in no removed bloatware apps or any other stuff ?

I'm not sure what you mean. It has all my apps on but nothing is custom on it. And i also have a backup of this rom.

Oke lets test it !
Flash back this recovery and start updating
http://db.tt/W5IJ8asG
You will loose root when its updated but you re-root very easily after the update !

It all flashed ok and nothing seems to be different.

No that's correct but to be able to update the phone you have to be on stock recovery, stock Rom and kernel .... Now go into settings - info - software updates (or a similar menu) and start checking for updates. At least an update to android 4.04 sense 4.1 should pop up !

Yup an update came up. Should I install it?

Yes please, then we know if all is stock enough to update

Ok it updated to android 4.0.4 and sense 4.1 what now?

Depends if your carrier has rolled out the JB update yet, but i think not .....

Nope they havent. I'm on three uk btw.

Then you have to options
1 stay on stock untill JB is available
2 flash the custom recovery and perform a new NANDROID BACKUP, and flash a custom rom. Or root this one again

but i need a better hboot for a jb rom. My hboot has changed to 1.12.0000 now.

Yes that's correct, you can't go to JB at this moment. The unofficial firmware is also not released for you .....so you must have patience

Okie, thanks for the help! ^^

No problem

[Q] Hboot problem

hi all , i have a problem with my one x.
i'm trying to update to JB but every time when i change the hboot from 1.12 to greater ones - 1.28 to 1.39 the onex is stuck to boot loop.
i can revert to 1.12 due tot the fact that i have S-OFF and i can also install non sense JB - as CM10 but, i would like to install the official JBRUU or at least some other custom rooms that are with the official version.
any ideas, cause i'm out of it?

Lucky you having S-OFF. S-ON is a pain.
Have you only updated HBOOT? I think you might also need a ROM and kernel that are compatible with the newer firmware

with 1.12 i was able to successfully install CM 10, nightly builds, but as soon as i have update my Hboot no other JB sense ROM has worked.
The only way to make my phone work again was to run the Europe RUU ICS 1.20.401.1 which revert my HBOot to 1.12.
Any suggestion?

I may be wrong here, as I'm new to HTC. But doesn't being s-off, as in a super-CID mean you can use any RUU? i.e. running a jb RUU would contain the correct Hboot.

[Q] Hboot and ROMs

Hi everyone, two really quick n00b questions...
Do you have to upgrade Hboot from say 1.21 to 1.39 etc if you want to run a new platform (Jelly Bean) Sense ROM?
And you don't have to upgrade Hboot to get a AOSP Jelly Bean ROM?
The reason I ask is because I'm trying to figure out if Hboot is directly linked to Sense ROMs, it's because I've just read this thing saying you have to update Hboot to get JellyBean on your HOX... but I'm running CM10 on my HOX with Hboot 1.21 (I think...) lol.

With hboot 1.39 works all Sense rom and CM10.1 rom based.
For CM10 you need a special boot.img

hi there
another hboot question, i am on 1.12 and would like to upgrade, which hboot should i choose ?
i thought to relock my hox with my stock nandroid backup and then upgrade by ruu or ota by htc. should i upgrade with ruu or ota htc ?
thanks

You can found the firmware.zip (it contains the new hboot), here
You say how to flash it?

thanks for your help, i dont know yet how to flash it, but i will search and inform myself. http://sadevil.org/blog/2012/12/23/manually-flashing-an-ota-update/

All CM10.1 works fine, CM10 needs a special boot.img.
For upgrade your firmare:
- Relocked your bootloader
- Copy/paste the firmware in folder where you have fastboot
- Open a prompt and type: "fastboot oem rebootRUU" (you can see a black screen with a white written)
- Type: "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip", you can have an error, retype and it will work
- Type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and you can see you hboot updated
- Unlock your bootloader
- Flash a recovery
- Flash a rom

If you upgrade to 1.39, you can't downgrade because there isn't the s-off.
But if you want jelly, you have to upgrade and, however, you can use ics rom with new hboot
But not CM10, this rom need a special boot.img with new hboot

BSTAR301 HBoot Downgrade

Hi, I've decided to go for the stock ROM due to a lot of problems i'm having with my HOX.
I already have Stock Boot.img, Recovery.img, but I am missing the Hboot.
According to the RUU Software my Hboot (Which I upgraded a year ago to 1.39) I need an older Hboot in order to run the RUU.
I've searched for a lot of sites and forums and don't seem to find a Hboot 0.96 (Stock) anywhere.
I'd appreciate if some has or knows where can I get it,
Thank you in advance!

you can't downgread your hboot unless you are S-OFF. Restore nandroid backup with your main version numbers or flash custom sense 5 rom close to stock like MaximusHD, ARHD or rom in my signature

I've the same problem. I'm on HBoot 1.72 and I want get back to SlimBean 4.2.2 because with that ROM my HOX runs best. If I try to install SlimBean Build 8 I get the message that only HBoot <= 1.39 is supported. Is there any way to get back on Slim 4.2.2?

I've solved my problem without downgrading HBoot or something like this. You can simply edit the updater-script from the ROM and add HBoot 1.72 as possible solution. Now I'm running Slim 4.2.2 on HBoot 1.72 without any problems.
