Incredibly outdated, asking for kind help - HTC One X

Hey guys, so I got a One X and it's on a very old Insertcoin Rom, I think it's based on the old 2.x firmware updates last August or September 2012. It's bootloader is unlocked, and has a custom recovery (CWM). If I were to install the latest ARHD or InsertCoin, do I just have to put the rom.zip in internal storage and flash away or are there other things I still have to do first?

You gotta flash a new hboot (higher than 1.28)
Three different ways of doin it:
1. Flash firmware.zip in fastboot (google jb firmware collection one x)
2. Run a JB RUU
3. Go back to stock and update OTA
Recommending the first one obviously 'cause it's the simplest.

yep, just find the firmware for your cid and upgrade it..the easiest way, as mentioned above!

[Q] phone not working/ can't flash the original RUU

I have HTC One X international
with cid HTC_621 (Chunghwa - TW version *.*.751.*)
I was trying to upgrade to JB using the factory RUU, but never got to that point.
First I flashed the new firmware/bootloader(?) in the xda thread
firmware collection
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
using
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
I hadn't downloaded the ruu image back then, so I proceeded to boot the phone as usual.
When I booted the phone I got boot loops.
Now I am trying to use the original ics ruu, but it says battery is below 30%, even though it looks as if the phone is totally charged(LED is green).
Is it possible the phone is not charging
I am trying fastboot, and
Code:
fastboot devices
lists the device. However most commands return an error (command write failed , or something like that)
How do I flash the ICS RUU, or get the phone working again?
Thanks for any help
You've updated the firmware, but not the ROM. You need to install a JB rom for it to work. You can't downgrade to an ICS rom because of S-On.
Flash any JB rom and it should work (don't forget to flash the boot.img that comes with it).
If you're not sure how to do that, you can also relock your bootloader and flash the appropriate JB RUU file. That will also fix it.
If you want you can flash a ics rom (at least the sense ones) on the higher hboots. But you can't downgrade to ics with ruu. But you can restore a ics nandroid backup so it seems you are on stock ics :thumbup:
If you get the cid from your phone you can look for a matching nandroid backup in the nandroid backup thread from matt95 in the general section. If you restore that completely and flash the stock recovery after that you will probably also get the JB update to update the phone to the proper JB stock rom

[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.

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

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 !!!

Confused about Jelly Bean Update.

Hi.
My wife has a HTC one x, which I have upgraded a few months back with ARHD v9.4
Its a vodafone australia HTC one x.
cid: vodap021
hboot: 043
I would like to update it to a curreny Jelly Bean Rom. What is the process for me. In the ARHD Jellybean instructions, it says not to flash if your CID is not on the list,( and my vodafone CID is not).
I also notice Vodafone Australia has released a JB upgrade (which I cant install OTA because I have ARHD..)
So my question really is..
1. Can I install the latest ARHD.. if so how., then If not..
2. How do I go about reverting to stock so I can install the Vodafone Australia Jellybean update? - which as I understand is available OTA.
Thanks for any help.
Do a fastboot command
Fastboot getvar version-main
My guess it will match this number
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260561_signed.exe
Only your main version will probably start with 1.26 or 1.28. If so you can run this ruu
Put the phone in the fastboot usb mode and lock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
Then keep the phone in fastboot usb mode with the locked bootloader and right click the RUU and select run as admin !
Tip : backup the sdcard and charge the batt to full before starting !
hi.
I have run the command.
Fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 1.26.862.3
still confused on what to do from here.
Do I have to go back to stock Vodafone ROM first so I can do OTA jellybean, or can I flash straight to ARHD Jellybean.
Thanks.
You need to update your firmware. You can flash it directly, or you can return to stock and get OTA.
Run the ruu and afterwards update the phone, when all the updating is done and you are on JB, unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and make a NANDROID BACKUP ! After that you can start flashing JB roms.
And copy the stock rom backup to your pc, you might need it to have future updates

[Q] JB

hello dudes... my cid no is "HTC__023"... when i first got the phone I made an OTA update when my bootloader had been still locked.... then i unlocked it, flashed a custom recovery, and flashed the ICS Android Revolution which i still hv now... ok i want to upgrade to jelly bean. i downloaded this stock RUU "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.24_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed"
which i thought was the correct one for me... it's saying that the image version is being updated from (Image version: 2.17.728.5) to (Image version: 3.14.707.24)... after it starts updating the signature, it gives me ((error 159: image error))... hv i missed sth ?
any solution plz even with a JB custom rom...
P.S.
I flashed a stock recovery and relocked bootloader before starting the update process.

I think that you have take a incorrect RUU and if i am correct your phone now is a.... XD!
Any ways i dont know a lot of RUU but seem to be incorrect because the numbers doent matxh "x.xx.728.x" "x.xx.707.x", and i think that these three numbers have to be the same!

If you are asking a question, you need to ask your question in the correct subforum, which I have moved this thread to.
There is no usable ruu for you, and i don't see a "new" nandroid backup either. But you can do this :
Download here your matching firmware. The HTC__023 one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
Place the file in the fastboot folder and rename it to firmware.zip
Put the phone in the bootloader and relock it. Then flash the firmware
Fastboot oem lock
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Do it multiple times until it says Oke, if it does not the first time !
Reboot the bootloader (hold power button and volume - button until you are in the bootloader)
Unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and install a new JB rom of your choice
Even if the rom is stock or it's not possible.
In fact there is a JB stock nandroid you can use. But you have to update the hboot first
http://bugsylawson.com/index.php/files/file/186-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-htc-023-3177281/
ok but i meant to say can i use ANY stock rom of my choice coz i want full arabic support or maybe i shd stick to my cid -related roms?
When you upgraded the hboot you can use any rom out here. Custom roms, stock rom.....whatever you want. The only cid related rom here is that stock nandroid backup i linked you. 99% of the custom roms here are based on the wwe base.
Thank you very much for giving a helping hand... it worked... i flashed the firmware successfully ... one last thing: generally, we flash a stock recovery and relock the bootloader before we install a stock RUU using the computer i mean ... Can i now, after flashing the firmware, install ANY stock RUU, arabic to be specific, using the computer as usual without flashing a stock recovery and locking my bootloader?
thank you
No you must flash a custom recovery and flash a custom rom. Or you must restore the stock nandroid backup.
You can't run a ruu. There is no ruu available for you to use.
2 choices :
1: install any custom JB rom
2: restore the stock 3.17 nandroid backup, flash back the stock 3.17 recovery. Then you be able to install official OTA
after i flashed the firmware and twrp jb recovery i cant access the sd card from the recovery anymore... pc says Mtp failed
any ideas?
ah ok got it sorted out.. i tried cwm recovery and it mounted successfully ....
Oke cool,so its all sorted now ?
Yes got it all .. thank you
However, as you can see in the attached image the internal storage is nearly full. Well I just flashed the Rom as you know. I wonder what the problem could be.

Check the installed apps list. Maybe the user installed apps before making the nandroid backup

[Q] HOX freezes on boot (both on custom and stock roms)

Hi to all
well, to keep this short, hox tegra on orange uk (cid orang001) so it's still s-on, unlocked the bootloader using hasoon2000's thread and tool (great piece of work btw, thank you), installed twrp, then installed android revolution JB, after wich the phone got stuck freezing during the htc logo at boot
tried to revert back to stock, freezing on boot still, one of the problems is I can't update the hboot- fastboot oem lock, fastboot flash zip etc. sends back an "failed to write, no permission" error and I'm not sure I understand how to flash a RUU from the recovery or fastboot
hboot is 1.12 still and radio is 2.1204.105.14
some advice as to where I have gone wrong is much appreciated, thank you
Do these commands in order to update the hboot:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (repeat this command until it succeeds)
Then you should be able to unlock the boot loader, flash twrp and flash the boot.img of arhd.

Thanks for helping me out, okay so on rebootRUU command the phone shows a black screen with htc in silver, that's the mode for installing RUU's am I correct and while in this mode I tried to push the hboot file but it says (remote: 12 signature verify fail), I suppose the stock recovery that I tried is not good enough, at this point I'm a bit lost in the heap of files, would you mind directing me to a recovery I could use?
Correct. It doesn't matter at all which recovery you have... the problem must be your fimware file. Did you take the right one based on your CID?
like I said I got lost in the myriad of files)) okay so I followed your thread "[INFO] Where to acquire EndeavorU RUUs" and I'm currently downloading RUU's from Android Files, there's three of'em for orang001 and I've tried installing the newest but it said that the bootloader version doesn't match, oh, and now my radio is 5.1204.162.29 can I just try running the two left RUU's and see what happens?
It must match
fastboot getvar version-main
Also, you must relock the boot loader before running a RUU (fastboot oem lock)
Sent from my IceCold One X
okay, the bootloader was relocked, problem was RUU version, mine is 2.17.61.3 and I can't find a RUU of that version anywhere, there's a nandroid backup link but it's down I've searched for a "re-upped" post but couldn't find that either. guess "today is not a good day for science"
RUU/nandroid unavailable. Firmware.zip is your only chance.
What happens if you try to flash it? It should say OKAY after 2-3 tries.

Now if I unlock it, flash twrp and nandroid bkup I should be able to flash it with ARHD 21 JB?
also might you tell me if unbranding it would mean s-off?
and just a small unrelated question, running a wifi hotspot tether on a 2.3.7 is accessible by the pc and an iphone but cannot be seen by Ice Cream and JB, why is that?

Yes, you can flash arhd 21.
You'd need s-off in order to unbrand, which is not available for our hox.
Don't know about the WiFi tether thingy, maybe it works fine on arhd...
