just got a used htc one x optus branded australia, on cid optus001, hboot 0.95.000.
Its currently on ICS and want to update to JB. There is an Optus update to JB available but didnt want to update just in case i needed to be on a lower hbot for some reason
anyway i have read and read and read but its a bit overwhelming. I have rooted and installed cwm and want to flash ARHD Rom.
Here is the question:
THere seem to be a lot of issues with CID, im on CID: Optus001.
Can i just update to the official Optus JB Rom via OTA, then flash ARHD via recovery? or have i missed something?
any help in the right direction is appreciated
Yes if you want to run the latest JB roms you need to update your hboot first ! Is the phone full stock atm ?
You need to be on stock rom, kernel and recovery to be able to update. So if you are, please update.
After you updated you flash a custom recovery and make a NANDROID BACKUP of the stock rom (you need it to be able to update in the future)
Then you can install any rom out here

thanks so much for the quick reply
Yes im on full stock ICS, but custom recovery, can i update now to stock JB and i suppose it will update the hboot too?
If i can flash any rom i want whats the big deal about correct cid?
You need to flash back the stock recovery first. A custom rom is not related to any cid. That's why you can use them all
What's your main version number
Fastboot getvar version-main
I can provide you the stock recovery when i have that number.
Or look in the settings menu - about for the info i need.
It probably starts with 1.28.***.** or 1.29.***.**

Flash this one and update the phone.

If the rest is full stock it should all go well
great thanks but now i have no wifi and no phone signal when i installed ARHD
Ill search and see what i can find
You updated the phone to JB ? Flashed back a custom recovery ? Made a nandoid backup of the stock rom ?
When you installed the new rom, did you perform a full wipe before installing it ? And did you flash the boot.img from the new rom ?
worked when flashing the boot.img
thanks once again, now just cant get bloody MMS texts to work even though i have input teh correct apn settings
thanks once again
Hmm don't know much about mms on that rom, i never used the rom and also never used mms

Hi Back Again been on Viper ROM but was looking at RENOVATE 11.0.0 for a JB ROM it says I need to update my HBoot (I have 1.12.000) S on
Looking I found the tool to update HBoot but it says it irreversible if I update my HBoot cn I still go back to the Viper non JB ROM I have a HTC One X
Any thoughts and how easy it is to do
Thanks
Yes you can go back to the viper x rom. Just flash it as any other rom
Not Reversable
Doing It=Easy
And yes its not reversable!
So I need to update bootloader from 1.12 and no I cant go back but yes I can go back to Viper ROM which is not JB if prefer it
As its said it's easy? any help and instructions pls
deleted
So I would not be able to go back to the Viper Rom ?

You said this also in another thread. Please correct it. please stop spreading this around you are confusing people !!!
Yes you can go flash back to ics !
OK Thanks so let me get this straight I can upgrade to HBoot 1.31 from 1.12 I can then install JB Roms namely RENOVATE 11.0.0?
If I find I don't like the Renovate ROM can I then go back to Viper ROM by restoring my backup
Thanks Again
Yes that is correct ! Do a nandroid of your existing rom. Try the JB and if you don't like it you perform a full wipe in recovery, flash the boot.img from your nandroid backup and restore the nandroid in recovery :thumbup:
How do you do a nandroid backup I have TWRP Recovery Thanks

Don't know i never used that recovery......
Is there an option that says backup maybe ?
Yes there is a backup option so I use that do a full backup is it OK to backup to the phone or should I save the backup to my laptop then update hboot then flash the boot.img then install the revolution ROM
Is JB revolution rom a worthwhile upgrade from the vViper Rom ..........
DO this!
Do this or u will regret later.
Ur SD card will also be formatted so backup the SD to a safe folder on ur computer and also ur internal Memory(Contacts etc)Using Superbackup app.
Now make a backup using the recovery and copy the backup to ur pc so that next time when u install the recovery u can place the backup in its folder!
Thanks for the help still not done it, don't want to brick my phone when installing the Viper Rom everything went perfectly but not sure about JB Rom with changing HBoot etc is there an "idiots" guide detailing the steps for a noob like me thanks

OK whats to regret with updating HBoot now? Will I get the official update as I'm not on stock
Really don't understand all this
When you update your hboot now you could.....i say could get problems running a ics rom, or problems with GPS . There are still a few bugs around.
When you are on stock you can update with the official OTA from HTC no problem with that.
When you are not on stock you can not update officially updates from HTC. The phone has to be full stock
Stock rom
Stock kernel
Stock recovery
But if you plan to stay on a JB custom rom then you can flash the new hboot, you will have no problems running the JB roms
But that's a choice you have to make for yourself
OK I think I see, right now I'm using the Viper ICS ROM but was thinking of going on the JB ROM revolution
So now I'm using Viper ICS I will not be able to update my phone through HTC's official updates, will I need to go back to stock to get official updates, or do I just wait till I can get HBoot through unofficial sources
Sorry for all these questions .....

If you want the official update you need to go back to stock !
You can always flash the hboot unofficial, cid must be supported to do that. And as i said before this also is a choice only you can make
I want to upgrade my hboot so i can run a jb rom. How do i go about doing this? My current hboot is 0.43.00000 and cid is H3G__001. It is also S-ON but unlocked.
First : are you on a custom rom now and do you know how the recovery and fastboot commands work ?
And did you make a nandroid backup of the stock original rom ?
I am on stock 4.0.3 and yes I know how the fastboot commands work. I know how to use clockwork recovery if that counts too.
Oke maybe an easy one, is the rom full stock as in no removed bloatware apps or any other stuff ?

I'm not sure what you mean. It has all my apps on but nothing is custom on it. And i also have a backup of this rom.
Oke lets test it !
Flash back this recovery and start updating
http://db.tt/W5IJ8asG
You will loose root when its updated but you re-root very easily after the update !
It all flashed ok and nothing seems to be different.
No that's correct but to be able to update the phone you have to be on stock recovery, stock Rom and kernel .... Now go into settings - info - software updates (or a similar menu) and start checking for updates. At least an update to android 4.04 sense 4.1 should pop up !
Yup an update came up. Should I install it?
Yes please, then we know if all is stock enough to update
Ok it updated to android 4.0.4 and sense 4.1 what now?
Depends if your carrier has rolled out the JB update yet, but i think not .....
Nope they havent. I'm on three uk btw.
Then you have to options
1 stay on stock untill JB is available
2 flash the custom recovery and perform a new NANDROID BACKUP, and flash a custom rom. Or root this one again
but i need a better hboot for a jb rom. My hboot has changed to 1.12.0000 now.
Yes that's correct, you can't go to JB at this moment. The unofficial firmware is also not released for you .....so you must have patience
Okie, thanks for the help! ^^
No problem
CASE CLOSED
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 ?

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
Hello Everyone, as in the subject, my touch isn't working, so i need to ship my phone(under warranty) to the technical center,
so, I wanted to relock the bootloader and use a ruu .
Here it's my problem, i tryed many many method, but i cannot use the latest available ruu (3.14.x) since i installed before the originale stock 3.18.x rom.
The ruu. exe give me every times the error 140, even if i try after rewriting boot.img, signed_recovery.img and so on.
I tryed many things, but i cannot do it, so here my questions:
1) Someone already have the right working solution?
2) i thought to flash a stock rom based on 3.14.401.31 and retry to use the ruu, so can someone give me a link to download a "old" rom like that?
3) other suggests?
Thank you very very much in advance for your help!

Flash a custom recovery and then flash a stock 3.18 nandroid inc boot image that matches your cid. Once the nandroid has been flashed, flash the stock recovery and relock the bootloader. Perform a factory reset to remove the previous users data. You should then be able to send the phone back to HTC
Hope it helps

first of all thank you for your reply,
I already try to restore a 3.18 nandroid, downloaded from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140 (cid 032)
I restore it by trwp, but i was some problem, the touch doesn't work, after check and recheck i thought that the problem was in boot.img, so i try to download the 3.14 boot.img and i flash it, but i had same result, i tryed with others and every times i have a different problem, the last, i have no gsm signal and it looks like the phone had no imei.
Maybe i just need a correct boot.img, but i still didn't find it
do you think i'm right?

I would flash the firmwire zip again.
Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38781030&postcount=29
It contains the new touch image, stock recovery, boot image etc
If that does not help you could flash a stock rom created by Mike1986 using trwp or cwm. Flash the stock recovery and then lock the bootloader.

Ok, the first suggest didin't work, but with the second suggest i flash the stock rom (odexed version) i flash the recovery, i lock the bootloader.
Now it looks ok!
I hope this topic could be useful to someone else: the only way (at least in my case) to have a stock rom if in the phone was a 3.18 version, is to upgrade to that 3.19....i don't know why, but...that's it!

Thats good to know that you got it back to stock. You should be able to send it back to be repaired.
And if you have trouble with TWRP touch(and you will because of flashing new firmware in stock JB OTA) you need to use TWRP 2.4.0.0 from main TWRP page but only TWRP 2.4.0.0 with JB string at the end, or TWRP 2.5.0.0 repacked also to work with JB from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40120901&postcount=509, and because of upgrade to JB firmware in this versions of TWRP you have touch but no mont usb storage and adb working in recovery, i think that new CWM 6.0.3.0 have adb support and mount usb storage but no touch..
Ok so i have run into some troubles with my rooted One X and want to flash Ruu and start all over again.
But i cant seem to find my baseband in the RUU section here.. and a little confused as which one to download.
My baseband shows 5.1204.167.31 and im rooted with the stock 4.2.2 sense 5.0 , software number 4.18.401.2
i am located in Norway so i guess its one of the Europe Ruu's.
Edit: do i get the stock recovery as well when doing a Ruu?
There is no RUU for android 4.2.2. HTC will never release one either. Better look for a nandroid back up.
great !
so now im stucked... i just need to get the stock recovery so i can get the new software update with the heartbleed bug fix... software update 4.18.401.4 12.03mb .. is the another way for that... a file to flash maybe? twrp recovery.
You on your stock rom and only need the stock recovery ?
