Hi all,
I have installed RD-MIUI Jelly Bean 4.1.2 (http://miuiandroid.com/community/th...-bean-4-1-2-2-11-16-en-cm10-16-11-2012.17645/) on my HOX and it is working fine (a few bugs, but they are known).
My question is: why could I install it in the first place??? I didn't touch the hboot, but for many roms it looks like I need to upgrade it.
Why, for example; I am not supposed to be able to install Android Revolution HD 15?

My CID is HTCCN701 - so no firmware for it.
Can someone can explain to me how:
cid
hboot
kernel
rom
are related? And, although I understand the word and the wiki description, maybe a bit of explanation of what are concretely these entities, like which file is responsible for what, how these are layered, etc... I have a programming background, but I am still a bit lost concerning the architecture of android and its devices...
Thanks in advance!

Upgrading the hboot is only required for Sense-based Jelly Bean ROMs. You will not require an upgraded Hboot to use AOSP/AOKP/CM10 based ROMs.
CID - basically just identifies region/carrier of phone
ROM - variations of the android OS, usually comes with custom software/tweaks etc.
Hboot - not too sure, but different versions have an effect on wifi, reception.
kernel - basically a component that serves as the bridge between software and hardware and allows them to communicate between each other.

Just see the hboot as the BIOS on a pc
Guys, thanks for the clarification!
Another question though... How come I would need to upgrade my hboot (keeping the BIOS analogy) so that Jellybean-based Sense can be ran properly? Is that because Sense has access to low layers? From your explanation, I would have thought the kernel would do that job...
Indeed, if we compare to a PC, I usually don't need to upgrade my BIOS when I want to change my OS... Hence the reason why I am confused
Well the hboot (bootloader) part interacts with the kernel and this will talk with the rom....
Because the kernel and rom are updated with the new JB update, it needed an update from the hboot too so it can interact in correct way. I think this is the easiest way to explain it
hboot - kernel - rom.
PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG
I have been unclear about this as well (great question). This sounds like a good explanation (hey Marcel!). But I'm curious as to why my CID is HTC_203 and I'm on ARHD v15.0 and it says in the OP of that rom that I need to "upgrade my firmware" and when I look on the firmware thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376 it says that my CID should have hboot 1.31. So, apparently it's not absolutely necessary to have the latest firmware? My rom seems to be working fine. Also, if I now want to use an ICS rom, will my CID/firmware (hboot) be an issue?
Ugh, can't believe how much more complex this phone is compared to my old Nexus! lol (but it sure is beautiful!)

You have to check the hboot number if its higher as 1.12 then you have the JB hboot update. A JB rom will run on a lower hboot but that is only for the de-sensed roms !
And hboot number for ICS roms is irrelevant :thumbup:

Oh, wow. I see. :good:
Hboot can communicate with the hardware directly and controls all the security of the phone partitions.
Aside from booting the kernel
WiFi and other hardware bugs(dead sensors/sound and touch static electricity) were caused by incompatible hardware code between different hardware versions.
Edit: you only need to upgrade the hboot if you want to install a jb sense rom(stock or custom, restricted by sense+ software)

You mean I can flash a non-sense rom such as CM10 on my phone although I don't have a compatible cid?
From what i've read from the guide threads, you're supposed to have a cid similar to "HTC_001" or something like that to be able to flash a JB rom into the HTC one X. Am I wrong?

Thanks! My night has just changed.
Would it be too much asking for the best CM10 rom link? I know they're there, but they're a bunch and I'm not really sure which I should flash.
Actually, I think I may flash this one: youtube. com/watch?v=elDvcVot7qo
Good enough?
Thanks again (Incredibly quick answer btw, I'm impressed)

Depending on which version you can go to, you might have problems. 1.33 and 1.36 should be ok, but with earlier versions you might find bugs.
Also, if you update it, for non Sense ROMs, you'll need a non standard boot.img, and at the moment, most of them don't work with GPS.

i would personally go for the official CM10(4.1.2) nightlies at cyanogenmod.com because i don't mind flashing a daily new update(doesn't require wipe data). I had defy with CM10 and as fast as I noticed any bug it was fixed in the next day's release. But I don't recommend this if you are looking for a permanent rom.

I would like to add that the chance of finding a security hole in newer hboots is smaller , and I bet that no one would want to miss applying an S-OFF exploit.

I just flashed the one that I mentioned and I've already gotten 3 reboots. Definitely not keeping it.
Gps should work if you didn't update the hboot.

I ****ed it up.
I was getting reboot after reboot so I tried restoring my stock rom from de clockwork mode. Now all I get is the HTC One X boot logo.
I forgot to move the stock boot.img from my phone to the pc and now I don't know how to push it from the phone to the pc without system.
Any ideas?
edit: alright, I really need some help right now. I'm freaking out. All I need is to send the stock boot.img I have on my backup to my pc so i can flash it via fastboot usb.

"E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or di...)"
It's getting scary. I don't want my phone to die.
btw, I hit "mount usb storage", I guess that's what you told to me, right?
I think the problem may be usb debugging. Idk if i have it enabled.
edit: I pulled it of, flash the buggy cm10 rom again, put the other rom files in the SD car and enabled usb debugging. It's charging now, I'll flash this new rom later, maybe at 40%.
I've been away from the ROM scene for quite some time now, but some of the new Jellybean features (coupled with constant pestering via an OTA update) have persuaded me it's time to upgrade.
I'm currently running Football's maXimus Rom v3.1, which is an old ICS rom. I'd like to upgrade to his latest version, but i'm struggling to remember/work out how!
I'm currently running hboot v0.95, and i'm pretty sure this needs to be updated to a version 1.3x, which i've no idea how to achieve! In addition, i've seen a video Football posted in his thread which refers to an updater_script.zip file, which I can't find either!
So far i've re-installed the android SDK, downloaded the latest version of the ROM and popped into the root directory of my OneX, and downloaded the fastboot kit for v12. What else do I need to do before getting some Jellybeen goodness?
In this Thread you will find anything you need related to hboot.

Brilliant, that tool looks absolutely perfect!
One final (hopefully!) question - i've set up the JBFW tool and placed the relevant files in the folder, but my CID comes up as 1111111 - does this mean I can't upgrade? And if so, is there anything I can do to change this?
Also, in the thread you linked to it mentions that 'everythings included except the RUU' - do I need to source an RUU? (and find out what one is!)
Thanks again!
It means you have super cid.
You can flash any rom you want without any cid restrictions. Still i would like you to get a 2nd opinion on what way to proceed.
Is your device s-off ?
You can proceed with flashing anyway
Hello everybody,
as the title suggests: (Why) should I update my hboot?
Yes, I've searched, yes I've read. I'm sure I could find the concise answer if I invested several hours of reading various highly informative threads, but maybe somebody can put it down in a few, easy to understand sentences, or point me to a post / wiki entry where it's explained concisely?
My situation: I have the HTC One X (Tegra 3 version), rooted, S-ON, with the 0.43 hboot at the moment. I have installed several ICS sense roms in the past, and am currently running JB (4.1) AOSP (/CM/PA/...) roms. This all works nicely, but I really don't understand all the talk about different hboot versions, needed RUUs, etc.
So I have several more detailed questions:
If I got it right, I need a newer hboot version to run Sense JB Roms - correct?
To upgrade to a newer hboot version, I need to download the correct RUU and install this, correct?
How do I find the "correct" RUU? And am I right that the RUU is an offical exe file, installing the Stock Rom on an unlocked phone only (meaning I have to relock first)?
Is it correct that hboot version more current than my original, never updated one will cause problems (GPS, direct wifi, volume, bt, ...') with basically ALL Non-Sense roms?
Is it correct that once upgraded, I have no option whatsoever to downgrade?
What is the interaction between the hboot and the installed kernel - do some kernels work better with certain hboot versions?
Sorry for the flood of questions. As you can see, I really tried to find the answers. In some cases I'm rather sure of what I think, but some questions leave me baffled. At the moment it seems to me that I have to decide between either a Non-Sense JB, or a Sense JB, but I cannot switch between them (and retain all functionality of my phone).
Thanks in advance,
Thor
if you upgrade it, you will be able to flash jb based roms, as you already know, there are jb roms out, which boots on any version of hboot, some dont, thats why you need to upgrade, for example, im running the blade rom v3.0.0 which its great, but i couldnt flash if i didnt upgrade the hboot.

[*]If I got it right, I need a newer hboot version to run Sense JB Roms - correct?
Yes perfectly right.
[*]To upgrade to a newer hboot version, I need to download the correct RUU and install this, correct?
Yes, that is ONE OF THE methods to do it. Another method is, you can use this tool. (It doesn't require you to relock you phone)
[*]How do I find the "correct" RUU? And am I right that the RUU is an offical exe file, installing the Stock Rom on an unlocked phone only (meaning I have to relock first)?
First, head over here and check whether your CID has received the JB update (upgraded hboot). If it hasnt then you will have to wait.
If it has then you can search for your RUU.
[*]Is it correct that hboot version more current than my original, never updated one will cause problems (GPS, direct wifi, volume, bt, ...') with basically ALL Non-Sense roms?
Nope, it will ONLY cause a problem with the non-sense ROMS that were built on the older base , i.e. the ones running android 4.1.2 , newer ROMS like android 4.2.1 builds will work perfect, and that too only gps is a problem. Also, most of the devs have found the patch to fix this problem.
[*]Is it correct that once upgraded, I have no option whatsoever to downgrade?
yes, that is correct.
[*]What is the interaction between the hboot and the installed kernel - do some kernels work better with certain hboot versions?
There is no such relation. The only relation is that the kernels wont work only, i.e. the kernels built on the older source code wont work at all on the upgraded hboot. And there are no custom JB kernels as of yet as HTC hasnt released the source code yet.
Hope this helped.

Thanks for this VERY helpful reply! What I don't understand about the two points I've quoted: You say that most of the devs have found fixes so that 4.2.1 roms run perfectly, but at the same time that there are no custom JB kernels. I thought the gps problem had to be fixed in the kernel? But that's probably just my misassumption.
Even if my phone hadn't hadn't just badly broken, I'd stick to the old hboot for a while longer then. I don't want to switch to JB 4.2.1 yet, as there seems no way to get pdroid running on that.
Thanks for taking the time to answer (this goes to all of you who replied)!

What they mean is that they have patched the ramdisk in the 4.2 ROMs to work with the older 4.1 kernel's that we do have the sources for

Hey everyone.
I'm currently running CM10 nightlies on my HOX. My HBOOT is 0.95, as my HOX hasn't been running Sense for a long while. And the phone isn't carrierlocked.
My question is, though, will there be any advantages to updating with the latest JB RUU? Surely I'll get an updated radio firmware, which hopefully will help my connection issues. But is there a danger in upgrading the HBOOT at this point? Will I still be able to install CM10(.1)?
Thanks in advance

CM is supported on all HBoots so you dont have to worry about upgrading your HBoot version.
Advantages of upgrading HBoot:
* Better firmware and new JB with good radio as u already know
Disadvantages of upgrading HBoot:
* If a S-off exploit is discovered which is on a lower HBoot and is fixed on the newer ones then you wont be able to use that s-off...ofcourse other exploits can be discovered...but its always good to remain on lower HBoots if you are plannin on s-off

As far as S-OFF goes, I'm not sure I need it. Sadly, unlocking the bootloader allows me to do what I want: install CM. CM and root access is all I need
So, I have a question... I've had a look around and I can't find an answer to it, but if it's already been asked just point me to the right place .
Basically, when Jelly Bean ROMs first came out, I was told I had to update my HBOOT, which I haven't done yet (still waiting on O2 to release the update for CID O2__001). Now, however, I've found JB ROMs that say they work on all HBOOTs (my current HBOOT is the same 1.12.0000 that the phone came with, I've not changed it). So:
1) Does this literally mean all HBOOTs? Can I install these ROMs on my One X in it's current state without a problem?
2) And, if this is the case now, I'm curious as to what changed, that means I don't have to update my HBOOT anymore?
Thanks, and sorry if I'm being daft...
Edit:
These are the ROMs I'm referring to (one is AOKP, one is CM10 and the other is AOSP):

Correct, they work on ALL hboot versions, because they are non-sense roms. I can't explain more in-depht,but they work and that is the main thing.
The Sense JB roms still require updated hboot.

It you want to flash a Jelly Bean SENSE Rom you have to update your hboot to 1.3x.
There are aosp Jelly Bean Roms that work with all hboots, thats why you don't have to update your hboot.
The only thing I wonder about is, if there is an advantage between 1.31 and 1.39?

You can, however, enable tablet mode by setting dpi under 210. I personally don't like it, 'cause everything looked so tiny and was difficult to use.
