Htc one x bootloop after stock ota update - HTC One X

Currently running stock 4.0.4 on HOX
i can do 2 - 3 updates OTA and they install just fine.
sometimes on 3rd or definitly 4th update it will get half way through the installation ( through STOCK recovery )
and reboot into an endless bootloop. and if it doent bootloop it just freezes.
Any help would be great!
CID TELNZ001
Hboot 1.12
Everything is stock and locked.
really wanting the update as i cant get ANY rom to boot AT ALL
and with all roms installed i have been flashing boot.img
but still fails to boot
i just want a working phone thats not on stock 4.0.4 (as updates insist they are installed)

Stock Recovery Image for HTC one X plus

Hi friends
im new here so this is my first post, what i want is help from any android expert in solving my problem. see i recently got the HTC one X plus and unlocked the bootloader, and installed clockwork mod recovery and rooted my phone. now when i receive the offical jb ota update, i cannot update it and it says error and i abort the installation and reboot the phone. and by the way all this unlocking and rooting is done thanks to Hasoons2000 tool kit, bless that developer who made this toolkit. so after researching reading many forums and find out that we have to use stock recovery image for htc one +. to fix the problem , i cant find any One X + stock recovery image all i can see are htc one X stock recovery image. but i need the one specific to my phone.
Since i dont want to risk bricking my expensive phone. so guys if you have the solution to my problem please do help me out.!!
no need
First I want to say that this is not Urgent and that's not problem...
also don't make 2 threads you can still bump this up by posting in it...
I think that you don't need this update because it is for stock ROM what you still have left on your phone and you wont see big difference.
For new user you can flash other, maybe even better custom ROM that will make small difference, but you must read what you chose. If you like stock than go for new versions custom ROMs with stock design.
Or if you really want to check out new HTC update you can go back to stock make update and then ROOT again...
But then first find out what will be in that update maybe we alredy have it in custom ROM.
I also had that update but I like stock and I dont want custom ROM yet. So I live without update and with stock ROM. If i want update I have Nandroid backup of stock ROM without root . One thing what I will install on stock is Renovate Gaming boost app I also use twrp recovery because it is touch recovery.
Htc One X+
I need help getting a recovery i have my bootloader unlocked and i am on a mactonish computer. Can you tell me how you got the recovery, the links etc. thank tou for your time

[Q] Why is my HTC One x (PROTOTYPE) stuck on ICS?

Why is my HTC One x (PROTOTYPE) stuck on ICS?
Hey guys, This is my first post ever on XDA so please forgive me if I sound like an idiot
I got hold of a HTC One x which was already had an unlocked bootloader, rooted and had CWM recovery installed. I was told that I have a prototype version of the one x. Anyway that is not issue. when I got the phone it was running android version 4.0.4 HTC Sense version 4.1 and I checked software update. The 3.14.401.27 OTA update was available so I proceeded with the update and after the reboot I found my phone stuck in a bootloop and the only way for me to sort it out was by restoring my nand back up from CWM. I really wanted the new Sense 5 UI and android jelly bean so I downloaded:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_TW_3.14.709.20_Rad io_5.1204.162.29_release_292865_signed.exe
My CID was HTC__621 thats why I downloaded that ruu but after flashing it not was I only stuck in a bootloop but also when I entered recovery mode it was just a blank black screen with the back lights on. I even flashed different versions of CWM recovery and TWRP which gave me the same black screen so I flashed the stock recovery.img which also gave me the same black screen. I thought me maybe a different Ruu would resolve this issue so I used 'JBFWTOOL21' to change my CID to '11111111' this allowed me to flash:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27_Radi o_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
&
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Ra dio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe
After trying both these ruu's I still found my device stuck in a bootloop. Next I downloaded 'Endeavoru_CustomRUU' this contained a 'rom.zip' which I belive was a jelly bean rom and said it would update my image version to '3.14.401.31' after flashing this ruu, my phone booted up past the 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' screen but into a black screen but I could hear the boot sound and knew it booted up but it still gave me a black screen. barre in mind this was the only rom that booted up and didn't get stuck in a bootloop but the downside was I had no picture on the screen it was literally pitch black with the backlight on when it went past the 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' boot screen. I didn't even see the one x boot animation. I could only hear the boot up sound and once it was booted up the notification LED would flash I was receiving network settings from my operator. That was about it. I booted into recovery to see wether that worked but unfortunatelly it was also still giving me a black screen. The only thing I could boot into without a problem was 'power button + volume down' which booted into bootloader in which I chose 'fastboot' to flash all these roms.
At this point I thought my device was soft bricked so I gave it to my friends father who happened to really good with his IT skills. He managed to change my device's CID from 'HTC__621' to 'HTC__001' after doing so he downloaded this ruu and flashed it:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radi o_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
This ruu turned out to work perfectly fine with my device. Everything functioned once again, the device was able to boot into recovery and boot normally without a hassle. I also discovered that this was the rom that I received my phone with which put me back to the start on android 4.0.4
I was really annoyed with the fact that I was stuck on ICS so I flashed the MaximusHD 21.1.0 rom and its boot.img which put me into a bootloop again. I also tried other custom roms such as Revolution and SD secxces which all put my phone in a bootloop even though I flashed their boot.img kernels. I knew that I required a hboot 1.33.0000 or above in order to flash jb roms so I used 'JBFWTOOL21' once again before flashing these custom roms to update my hboot from 1.12.0000 to 1.33.0000. so all these bootloops still occourd after doing all this and I just had to return back to ICS. barre in mind I only tried flashing JB roms as I want sense 5 so I don't know if a custom ics rom would work on my device as I havent tried it yet but I know for a full fact that none of the jb roms work on my device.
For those who are wondering here, I uploaded some pictures of my device just check the attachments. It has all the information you may want to know about my device (HTC One X PROTOTYPE).
I really hope someone can help me update to jelly bean and get sense 5 as I am frustrated from failing and being stuck in bootloops
If you read all of this I honestly appreciate it and I Thank you for it, I hope you can help me!

Thank you for your input, but I already done that which resulted no success for me. The only way for me to overcome these black screens was by flashing:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
This makes my device fully functional again but it just leaves me locked on ICS because when do the OTA updates, Flash JB ruu's or even flash custom JB roms I just get stuck on bootloops. I don't seem to get one JB version of android working on my device. Thats why I'm here seeking for help from geniuses like yourself. At the moment my device is back on android 4.0.4 but thats about it. It works perfectly fine on this version but I just can't update no matter what way I try I end up in a bootloop
so you have a stock recovery now? and receive ota notifications?
Yes

Lock you are S-OFF try fastboot writecid HTC__032 i think is something like this and see what will happend after applay update. Or try manualy update with this RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe after changeing the CID
The other way is manualy update your hboot to high version! Download from here firmware .zip for region 401 hboot1.31 and see what will happend

I flashed the asian ruu first because my CID used to be HTC__621 which requires TW ruu's (I tried the JB one) also on the back of my device it says made in Taiwan. But after flashing the rom it didn't work and put me in a bootloop so I changed my CID to 11111111 and flashed the European ruu ( I tried the JB one) which also didn't work and ended up putting me in a bootloop. It was my friends father who then changed my CID to HTC__001 and flashed the European ICS ruu which worked flawlessly. Do think I should flash the ruu you recommended? because its a ICS ruu and I'm trying to get to JB. Anyway I really thank you for trying to help me, you are the only one who replied to me
Look at this image it shows you that my device was made in Taiwan

Actually @Thant replied also, try what he suggests at the bottom of his post to update your hboot, it's a different one to the one you tried, then try a higher ruu
I am wondering why everyone, OP and those attempting to assist, are assuming that what is apparently a prototype model of the One X would even be compatible with the updates.
If it is a prototype, regardless of how it identifies itself, it may have differences that simply prevent ANY of these software versions from operating.
I think that is one possibility the OP may have to be prepared for.

That had crossed my mind actually, but he is receiving ota notifications and the results he posted from "getvar all" indicate everything is as it should be, same model number even.
I have come across an early prototype before and the only 2 differences were the casing and slightly larger headphone jack socket. AFAIK the hardware was the same. Unfortunately, the one I saw wasn't working so I don't know what version of android it had

No more RUU only stock rom or nandroid. You never find that RUU because HTC never release this RUU.

Please Need Major Help trying to get Stock Updates to Run

Ive got a HTC ONE X and been using the ANDROID REVOLUTION HD 9.7.2 Mike Rom for a while .... Having Issues in calls where numbers are showing unkown and installing apps with the 909 error . Im assuming its because Im running android 4.04.
So Ive decided to update but I have a problem I have the HBOOT 0.94.0000 Kernal So searching these forums it seems i need to go back to stock and do the OTA Updates to fix Kernal.
So I got all the information I needed and downloaded a stock backup and ran that through recovery. This seemed to work and my phone now downloads the Update Software . But when it tries to install and reboots the phone it goes into the CWM recovery screen with a failed to update error . I then put the Flashboot OEM Lock but it now stops at flashboot screen on reboot ........... Please I need any help on this , now lost.
I also tried to find my RUU file to see if that way would work better but there seems to be no links anymore for RUU 1.28.771.9
Anyone any Ideas?

[Q] Can't S-off because of bootloop

Hi,
I've always been using CyanogenMod11 on my HTC One M8 since the day I got it.
But recently I wasn't fully satisfied with it so I wanted to flash a new ROM and simultaneously upgrade to Lollipop. I really didn't want to use HTC Sense so I figured that SkyDragon Google Play Edition would be a good option. I read through the whole post and flashed Philz Touch 6.25.5 since it was the recommended recovery.
The first boot took pretty long but seemed fine. But during the setup I realized the Wi-Fi is not working. Since I read in the F.A.Q. of SkyDragon that that's a common issue I guessed it wouldn't be much trouble.
Now, sadly, I did not make a backup of my completely stock HTC One M8 so I couldn't just update to the latest OTA. So I tried to S-off it but the compatibility-tests of SunShine said the ROM has to be closer to stock. Then I flashed the storc ROM from here and ran SunShine again, this time with positive results. But when it had to restart the phone during the process of S-off'ing it got stuck in a bootloop. Wiping cache and dalvik did nothing, only completely flashing a ROM again did.
Now everytime I flash a ROM the initial boot works but from then I can't just reboot because I always get stuck in a bootloop.
So, I got SkyDragon and it seems to be working just fine, except for the Wi-Fi, the bootloops and I still don't have S-off. I guess that fixing the bootloop might be the first step so I can S-off and manually flash the latest GPE L firmware.

You know you can RUU right??? That'll get you back to stock, and upgrade to the latest version.
Your first problem with WiFi was possibly because you needed to update your Firmware.
Just get the latest Lollipop FW and flash through fastboot. As the above guy mentioned, that'll more than likely fix your wifi issues. If you get the Lolli FW with Hboot/stock recovery then you'll lose all your data and recovery but you can reflash that easily. Try to find one without Hboot/stock recovery and you'll be good to go.
Why everyone is replying to OP that 2 & 1/2 months old ? OP was the first post and he never come back to XDA to post further

Need help with Stagefright OS patch

Hello XDA :x
I know the thread title is very vague but i had no clue what to put there, sorry about that :x
I'm terrible at talking, but I hope you guys understand what I'm saying /:
A week ago, I downloaded the latest snapshot of CM12.1, with intentions of using it instead of stock htc rom.
(The CM download is not very relevant to my problem but I thought I should give a background to how I arrived to my current situation)
So I flashed latest TWRP, ***<foolishly forgot to make a nandroid backup>*** and tried flashing CM12.1 snapshot and it didnt work. I tried other CM variants, and MaximusHD but nothing worked. So I just sat there with no OS.
Luckily (not really), I had a nandroid backup from a month or two ago because I used to frequently flash ROMs. The nandroid backup was 4.16.401.10, and my current OS (before trying to install - and according to my bootloader) is 4.16.401.13
I had no choice but to restore the previous version, which is Lollipop 5.0.1 without stagefright update.
Things became confusing... my OS version according to Software Information is 4.16.401.10, and the OS on bootloader still was .13
I've attempted all of the following:
1) OTA through phone itself: It downloads the update, then says the files are corrupt (no matter how many times I try)
2) This one is too obvious, but i tried it anyway -> the official RUU of .10 didnt work
3) Flashing firmware.zip from the .13 update using RUU feature in fastboot
Nothing has worked. I'm still .13 on bootloader, and .10 while the phone is on. And the software status is modified.
Please help me get my actual OS back to .13, things are getting really frustrating

Stop worrying so much about that stagefright patch. They did put out a patch but didn't solve it exactly with that patch.
Just stay on .10 and wait a bit longer for newer updates. You are not missing much to nothing at all !

Im not worried about the patch, its just that I might be selling my phone soon and if I do, the guy isnt exactly familiar with ROMs and the bootloader; and I dont wanna be a jerk haha.
Also, aren't updates incremental? Like, step-by-step as in you go from .10 to .13, you cant jump over an update?
Also,thanks for replying
Well you can get a stock .13 backup here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3086860
Restore that one and flash back the stock recovery also. Then it's stock as the backup has never been rooted before.
