Hello! N00b here!
I have a pretty unique problem. When I got my One X, I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it and installed a custom recovery (CWM).
Now that Jelly Bean is out for the One X, I flashed the stock recovery and need further help on obtaining the stock ROM(or RUU?) and flashing it.
I was way more comfortable with these procedures with my Galaxy S. I can't figure out these HTC terms, for the life of me.
My phone's CID is HTC__038 if that helps.
Do I need to re-lock the bootloader to revert back to a stock JB ROM?

basicly if you follow this thread [11.02.2013] Jelly Bean firmware collection for different Carriers ID (CID) it will guide you how to do what you want to abtain, basicly this will help you update you hboot to a jb compatible hboot so you can flash a custon jb rom
EDIT: or even use this thread [TOOL] JB FW Easy Flasher & Fastboot Toolkit *Update Dec21* hboot 1.31/1.33/1.36/1.39 may be easier for you

Hi, someone would know tell me how to remove the brand(Vodafone) from my phone?
I have the software number 2.17.161.4. OS= 4.0.4
I want to install a ROM with Sense and JB 4 +.
Someone would know give me a help?
To debrand, all you have to do is unlock your bootloader (at htcdev.com), flash Clock Work Mod Touch Recovery, and then flash any custom ROM you like. There are plenty of them available in Android Development section of this Forum.
As far as JB installation, I'm afraid that - for the time being - you will have to wait that JB is pushed to European HOXs.

So, if you proceed with the removal of the brand, I will lose my warranty?
If so, how can I return it? Just install a ROM with the Vodafone brand?
Sorry for my bad English.
Debrand is not possible
To debrand your phone you need S-OFF, and that is not available for the HOX.
Because you have a branded phone, you cannot go to Jelly Bean Sense just yet, your CID does not match the one you need to install a JB Sense ROM.
You can unlock via HTCDev, flash a custom recovery and flash anything, where you don't need to flash a newer firmware (Hboot).
Edit: You probably cannot go back if there is no RUU available for your device and brand. You could try to make a nandroid backup after installing custom recovery, but I saw some people failing to restore the nandroid backup.

By debranding, I meant removing Voda's bloat and apps. I also guess that's what OP asked for. Of course he can't change his CID without S-OFF.
With the rest, I absolutely agree with you.
And, BTW, my HOX was also Voda branded (CID: VODAP102), but it runs a custom ROM for months already.

You lose the warranty by the fact that you unlock your bootloader, and you can't return it, unless HTC service center can't tell the difference between "LOCKED" and "RELOCKED" bootloader (which they often can't )
To return to your stock you could either do nandroid backup, as said, or find proper RUU and flash it.
hi guy my HTC one x device is HTC_044
I am using custom rom and i dont wish to restore my phone to stock just for JB update it is possible for me just upgrade the hboot to 1.36 than try any custom JB rom which available at XDA currently ?
Thousand sorry first if this question been ask before.
Yeah, you just need to remember the relock the bootloader before flashing new firmware.
Hi everyone,
Hopefully an easy question for those more experienced than I...
I have previously rooted my OneX and installed custom roms on ICS. I restored original rom, re-locked bootloader and flashed original recovery so I could install the JB update over the air. This all went smoothly.
I used over the air update as my CID wasn't on the list here (yet):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
I would like to re-root my device and start installing the custom JB roms. Can I just unlock the bootloader again, install CWM recovery, then start flashing the JB roms (and boot.img) as before, using this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592355
Or is there something I need to wait for?
Thanks,
Craig

I'm seeing something about HBoot in some of the custom roms. I can't seem to find a clear explination, but is this something that was updated when I updated OTA, or does it need to be modified again to run the custom roms?
Thanks,
Craig
So what i understand you are on stock JB at the moment ?
If so yes you can unlock,install custom recovery and flash JB roms the same way as you did on ics
You can check the top of the bootloader if it says hboot 1.31 or higher you are good to go

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

Hi i have an HTC one x telecom NZ running stock JB 4.1.1 I just wanted to know if i can root it and will be able to install custom rom on it. I have rooted my htc one x before and trying installing cyanogen mod 10.1 but there are no ways to update to the higher hboot capable of installing custom roms as telecom firmware has a cid of TELNZ001. Many people have the same problem in NZ and are not able to install any other roms other than the original stock roms. Telecom NZ has finally pushed official JB update for HTC one x so i unrooted my device to receive the OTA update and it is running fine but the experience is still not that good with sence 4+ skin so i really want to run a custom rom. Anyone please help and suggest any ways i could install custom rom onto it. Also i am not really sure if rooting method is the same as when it was running stock ICS 4.0.3.
I truly appreciate all your help.
Rooting is still the same, and yes you should be able to run any custom rom out here. Make sure to make a NANDROID BACKUP of the stock rom. Because you have a rare CID !
