Hello
I was wondering if I could get a stock ROM without root. Or could I do it my self by uninstalling SU?
Thanks.
Why would you want that ?
You can unroot by removing supersu.apk from /system/app and deleting root binaries.

Thanks! I'll try it in the morning. I wanted to find how to do this because there seem to be no RUUs.

Well there are ruu's....but depends on which one you need.
Well a Australian Vodafone RUU for Jelly Bean would be nice. But I've seen that the sites have be shut down.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
There is a new domain up, google for android ruu.org index. But i dont think a JB voda ruu is released/leaked. The JB ruu's are pretty rare
Yea, I've kinda noticed that. But I could probably flash a stock European ROM and unroot it using the link you gave me.

http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Endeavor this the site but its down at the moment, but its the actual one. You cant run a different ruu for your phone then the official one (no other region or wwe european one) and yes you can run a stock jb rom and unroot it but then the next the owner will not be able to update the phone
I tried that site not too long ago so its still down. If I flashed the RUU then unlocked it, would it still get updates from Vodafone?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I was on it last night so it will come back up i guess......to be able to update the phone you need :
Stock rom (out of the box stock)
Stock kernel
Stock recovery
If one of these things are messed the up the update will fail
And yes if you ran a ruu and only unlocked the bootloader it can still update ..... even with root you can still update, you loose it after the update. Only when you messedwith system apps like deleting them, removing bloatware apps from voda then the update will fail again
Alright, by unlock I meant a network unlock.
I'm guessing that after updating to JB and a new HBOOT I can't run a ICS RUU?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
ow haha your right after the JB update you indeed can not run a ICS ruu anymore ! :good:
I think I'll get one of the European rooted ROMs and unroot, flash stock recovery , kernel and OEM lock!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
yes thats possible....but it still wont update in the future. the updates go by CID. that is not changable....so you flash a rom for CID A and the future update will search for CID B with a different software number and at that point it will 100% fail !
I thought you can't change your CID.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
That's what im saying....you can't change CIDS. but you want to run a custom rom based on a wwe rom. most of the roms are built on the european base 3.14.401.31. And not on the software number from vodaphone that is released on your phone......
Vodapaphone gets a softwareversion from HTC and they put all sorts of vodacrap in the rom (branding the phone) so basically the phone is stuck on that. The next update will also have that crap and is looking to update the old vodacrap, but now its no longer there so it won't update.
Hope i make it a bit less difficult like this
OK I don't think there will be too many updates.

you can get the cid by typing

but i don't know if it works with the bootloader locked
could you also check what is you HBOOT version?

I put my phone back to stock yesterday with the same RUU as you, and did a software update to 4.0.4.
What was the process you followed to get there?

Downloaded ruu, relocked bootloader by fastboot OEM lock or whatever it is and installed ruu by opening executable ruu file on my pc. Maybe do I have to flash recovery with the stock recovery? At the moment it just resets factory settings if I try to go into recovery...

when you run a RUU it installs the recoverystock.img and boot.img too....no need to flash it again

fastboot oem readcid
Although I'm not sure why we need this, we know which RUU works.
Try
fastboot erase cache
It might sort your recovery out and won't hurt.

You can choose what you want in settings > display guestures buttons.
So I tried flashing twrp recovery and its knocked out my sensors again. I've updated to 4.04 and when I tried installing my ruu I downloaded it said wrong version but its the same one I used before I updated to 4.04. What ruu version am I supposed to have now?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
The ruu updated your hboot. The old ruu has a lower hboot version. I think you have a ruu on the 1.29 base you need a 2.17 base ruu now.....please correct me if i'm wrong here mates !
Verstuurd van mijn HTC One X
Ok So I used the ruu to find out what version I should download. It is my current version is 2.17.980.6 and it wanted to downgrade it to 1.29........ So obviously that won't work. I went to the same thread I used when downloading the last ruu but can't find the 2.17.980.6 ruu anywhere. I'll keep searching but has anyone seen it??
My cid is HTC_001 so I'm good there. My question is about hboot do I upgrade that myself or is it updated with the jb update? I believe my hboot is 1.12.

Depends on what the tool does. When the tool is leaving the bootloader locked then yes you have to unlock it again and flash the custom recovery and flash the desired JB rom
But as far as i can see the tool does it al ....also unlocking the bootloader ... etc etc
updating your hboot to newest firmware for jb also means that you can't flash anymore roms based on the older firmware right ? (or atleast means that there will be a lot problems with "older" roms)
can we downgrade the hboot (firmware) at anytime ?

Thats incorrect ! You can still flash ics roms on the newer hboots. No problem at all !
There are some cases with aosp roms that require a different boot.img, and that gps doesn't work.
Downgrade of the hboot is impossible unless you have a s-off phone. And that is most unlikely
I received a 1.25 mb ota update but I am rooted can I install this safely without messing up my htc one x it is unbranded
I think it's a OTA for preparing your phone to get the JB upgrade, I downloaded the same update, but for forcing JB update, only to see what's inside and it had 1.25 mb.

flash stock recovery.
And use a search button.....and post in the right part of the forum ! This is the general, you belong in the Q&A part with these things. And yes there are numerous posts like this with the exact same question ..... we keep on repeating ourselves for ages in here ..... and so it is !
No problem make the update
I think I heard somewhere that if you are rooted and you do get an OTA and install it then the update will re-lock your HOX and you'll need to root again...
I could be wrong
It doesn't relock the device, it just removes the root, you can apply the root easily after the update !

I don't see any harm in taking the update. Afaik it is just a radio update which can be reversed by running the ruu back to an older version. Try it and let us know your results.
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
It brings me to the cwm recovery menu and when I locate the update -sdcard/downloads/update that's where it is, it says this software could render your phone incompatible but it's an ota update
So it should work. I'm just scared to brick this phone I just got it two days ago so I could return and say it's not working I want another but I got it on sale and I don't know if they would do that or if I have to pay the extra 100$ which I can't do. Do if it doesn't start up what could I do to fix it? Like when you flash you have to fastboot a boot.zip file right? How do I do that? I'm still on stock obviously and I have a backup of my current status and completely brand new stock, thanks guys

To install the OTA update, you'll need to restore the stock recovery, stock kernel, and most likely relock your bootloader. If you are using Virgin Mobile, be warned, the OTA is not compatible with any roms or kernels available now. If you try to install any custom roms or kernels, you will be stuck in a bootloop and will have to RUU back the older version to install them.

Ok thank you I am using virgin mobile but I like the stock phone I feel changing roms is too much work and I feel as if I won't like them plus I need a computer 24/7 and also I don't feel comfortable with switching back and forth all the time if I don't like anything. Mods can delete this if they'd like I got my answer thank you guys

Hi today i want to update my kind of outdated htc one x.
I rooted my HOX like 3 years ago because i had it sim-locked and wanted a different provider. I unlocked it and than (i cant remember why) relocked it and now unlocked it again. Because i want to install a custom rom.
I looked for some roms and deciced i wanted to run Viper X (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087443) which runs on Android 4.2.2. I'm on Android 4.0.4 Sense 4.1 because i havent used this phone for a while.
I can't find any proper guides i tried this one : http://wccftech.com/update-htc-one-x-to-cm10-1-android-4-2-2/ but getting a error status 7.
Any help appreciated!
