Hello all,
Just before anyone says, I have looked for a few hours for the answer to this question, but all of the answers are either ambiguous or too complicated for a novice like me to understand .
The question I have is how do you upgrade the hboot of a rooted international HTC One X (step by step). I really want to flash CM 10.1 custom ROM, and it requires a newer hboot than the one I have. I have found a tool called JBFWFlasher, which can upgrade an hboot, but it says when you go through the steps: AFTER UPGRADE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO INSTALL A FULLY FUNCTIONAL NON-SENSE BASED ROM.
Obviously CM 10.1 is non-sense based, so I think this is a dead end.
Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance :laugh:.
Details:
Hboot: 1.12.0000
Clockworkmod: v5.8.4.0
Cyanogenmod: 10
Get your CID
CID getter from the playstore will do, for the easy/lazy people or do the fastboot command
Fastboot oem readcid
Once you have ypur cid you go here and get your matching firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
And then you do this :
Rename the .zip to firmware.zip and place it in the fastboot folder
- Boot the phone to the bootloader and relock the bootloader :
Fastboot oem lock
- then put the phone in ruu mode with this command
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
(watch the capitals, this command will put the phone into a black screen with a silver HTC logo)
- then flash the firmware
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
- you see the text on the pc screen, when it says OKE you are good. If it failed you reflash the zip right away again.
Then reboot the bootloader, unlock it, flash the custom recovery, make a full wipe and install the new JB of ypur choice and don't forget to flash its boot.img too
Thanks, you couldn't have made that explanation simpler :laugh:. So, because I am an idiot and I somehow have no fastboot folder, what are all the components I need for it?
At the moment I have:
The latest CM 10.1 zip folder
^^^ The boot.img copied from this folder
The latest gapps zip folder for CM 10.1 & Android 4.2.2
The CID when I get it
Anything else? Thanks for the help .
You need the ANDROID SDK BUNDLE ..... Unpack it and inside the platform tools you find the fastboot files. That is your fastboot folder.
Or use a JB firmware flasher.
Also, one other thing, when I just went and got the zip from the link you posted, the download was off of Android Revolution HD. Just thought that I'd check, this won't mean I can only use this ROM will it? CM 10.1 will work fine?
Not trying to be awkward, I just don't want to get this wrong .
First you need your cid otherwise you don't know what you need to download !

Is it this? http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
I have it downloading now . When I have the fastboot folder and the other parts I mentioned, is that all I need to be able to change the hboot, re-unlock bootloader, re flash CWM (oh yeah I need that as well :silly and install CM 10.1.
Thanks for the help so far, I really appreciate it .

Yeah, I did the CID and found it was HTC__001, I then went on to download that zip for hboot 1.39 and that is when the android revolution page popped up. Just thought I should check with the guru first :laugh:.
Oke yes that's correct .....
Yep then you have it all. Also put the unlock code.bin file (the one you got in the mail from htc the first time you unlocked the bootloader) into the fastboot folder.
Follow all the steps i wrote earlier and it will be fine
How to flash ?
Open a command window from inside the fastboot folder . Hold shift and point in the folder then right click the mouse and select : open command window here
From that dos command window you type all the FASTBOOT commands.

Ok, so it won't mean that I can only install Android Revolution HD? Better to be safe .
Also, the ADT Bundle just finished downloading, and I'm extracting fastboot to C: drive at the moment. Thanks for the help, is that all I need to do? (seems too easy...) :laugh:
After the update you can install any rom here you like.
Yeah unpack the bundle to a folder where you can find it .... then follow the steps !
Knew I'd spoken too soon. In program-tools, fastboot is an application, not a folder, and when I click it it does nothing. Is there any stock fastboot folder I can get from anywhere?
Common mistake ! You need to open the command window inside that folder with the fastboot.exe file !
Like i mentioned about 2-3 posts back.
Don't double click the fastboot.exe file it does indeed do nothing !

So can I copy this individual file into C: drive and use it as a 'base' file to store all the CM10.1 folder and stuff?
I should probably stop bugging you now, its midnight lol
Yeah this is my last reply and then im off to bed ! Its 1 o clock here now
The cm10.1 and the Gapps go onto the sdcard of the phone
In the fastboot folder you need :
- firmware.zip
- unlock code.bin
- boot.img from the cm10.1
- custom recovery.img
And then you start......if you are uncomfortable with all this we can also do this all with teamviewer tomorrow evening ? If you like ! :thumbup:

Thanks, all of this worked well. It did fail the first time, but then I did it again and all is good .
I am at the point now where I just flashed the zip and need to reboot the bootloader and unlock etc. Please can you tell me all the command prompt commands from here as I am a bit lost at the moment. Thanks :laugh:.
Hold the power button and the volume - button as long as it takes to reboot into the bootloader. Check if your hboot has changed. Then unlock it
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
After unlocking you flash the newcustom recovery
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then flash the new boot.img from the new rom you want to flash
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery and make a full wipe and install the new rom

Hey guys , am having a problem with my htc one x recovery ,
as i was going with the rooting of my phone i got stack at 1 point where i needed to use recovery so i could access the zipped file in my htc (i have already unlocked the bootloader). So when am getting to the point of using recovery from the fastboot screen with the color letters (using volume up and the power button to navigate as always) the htc message pops up trying to load the recovery and then a black screen pops up with the icon of the mobile and a green cyrcle, and after a few secs of loading theres another icon with a red triangle and a exclamation mark. at that point the phone stacks with that icon and i can do nothing. after a couple of mins the phone just restarts by itself and am back on the normal htc interface...
In the video i saw after he used recovery none of those icons where seen and it loaded up the default directories of the phone, as i was searching in net i saw a prob like that and the solution was to erase the fastboot erase cache, already erased the cahe but the problem is still there, if any solutions for that would be greatly apreciated !
Did u flash a custom recovery ? Latest is cwm 5.8.4.0
The one u are describing is the stock one.

The recovery you described is HTC's stock recovery ... Go to here - > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819 < - and download the first link and put it into your phone sdcard then reboot into fastboot and fastboot flash recovery <recovery name>.img and you're good to go for flashing ROMs

Wrong mate....
Download the cwm recovery and put in the fastboot folder on PC.
And also give this command before AND after flashing the recovery.
Fastboot erase cache
And why giving the answer again, i already gave the answer, and get your facts right ! This is the second post i see around with a small error in it

no need to put the recovery.img in the fastboot folder:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery.img
Very true .... but to keep it more clear (just like putting the boot.img in the fastboot folder,.like most tut's say) i advice to do it straight from the fastboot folder, so in that way the commands stay the same.......if you get my point

Have you flashed boot.img?
I think it's better to read more rather then watching half baken video's (what you did not know) it's better to follow the tutorials here ! :thumbup:
And yes like said before flash the boot.img
Extract it from the rom.zip and place it in fastboot folder
Phone in fastboot USB mode and do the following command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Just like you did with the recovery
Reboot !
Verstuurd van mijn HTC One X
ok.. so i just searched a bit in this forum and the tutorials here as u said , and y after i saw in here am not going to trust any videos and just follow the forum.. i missed a couple of steps first i dont know what CID i have , which as i've seen its very important ( any ways to check now that i cant use my htc and am stack in bootloader?) 2nd i ve seen i need to have the hboot 1.31 for it to work and currently i don't. thought that maybe that would fix it and downloaded it and as the steps told me
1.i relocked the bootloader
2.downloaded the firmware.zip from the forum instructions
3.entered succesfully the command "fastboot oem rebootRUU"
4. { (4) In order to flash new hboot write "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" } and here am stuck cause when am typing the command am getting FAILED <remote : not allowed) and in that step i saw a vid again (i know...but am desperate) which he said if that happens u should use the
adb reboot oem-78. which i did and after it opens deamon it says error : device not found
and also u said:
And yes like said before flash the boot.img
Extract it from the rom.zip and place it in fastboot folder
i know i might be asking for much but plz put some more detail form me as am somewhat new to this and i might not understand some of the ways
for example which one is the boot img? the hboot 1.31 ? and what do u mean extract from rom.zip ( the custom rom maximus v6 i downloaded u mean?) and i really apreciate ur time guys ur helping me much hope i can still use my phone after ur instructions atm i crying over a my dead phone help me bring it back ( if its possible ;/)
boot.img is insite the custom rom zip file open the zip file with totalcommander take out the boot.img an fastboot it
so u mean the boot.img inside the zipped folder from the instuctions named firmware ? the one that has the hboot 1.31? cause if thats the case i tried and i unzipped it put it on the fastboot folder and tried to run the commands like this
fastboot flash boot boot.img
what i got is
sending 'boot' <5260 KB>....
OKAY [ 0.6s ]
writing ' boot'....
FAILED < remote : not allowed>
finished . total time : 0.9s
so that got me curious and i typed adb devices to check on cmd ... but my phone is not listed there o-o
while i was doing this the phone is on fastboot menu with the cable attached and says FASTBOOT USB.
any ideas? also how could i manage to come so far if the phone couldnt be reached in the first place (something changed meanwhile?) any ideas?

you have to unlock it in order to upgrade th firmware but when the firmware is flashed you have to unlock it again, because with the bootloader locked you can't use fastboot to flash anything....

hey, so my device where stuck on pull the ring thng
so i thought it's a softwere prob, i upgrade my hboot to 1.31 so i could install the JB
i found there is no RUU fore my HTC_J15 !!
and i can't go back to ICS .. i unlock the boot so i can try some roms
same prob, any slu?
Why can't you go back to ICS or install a custom Sense ROM?
flash the boot.img and the ROM. Easy.
I have an idea to get you back to stock, from there you can update official. Its not the ruu method. I will explain later
I need your main version and cid number
Fastboot oem readcid
and
Fastboot getvar version-main
Post these results
Pyschic prediction:
2.17.401
HTC__J15
If that is so, you need to fine the matching nandroid backup in the nandroid backup collection thread in the general section
Restore it and flash back the stock recovery .... After this you can update official when the update is available. Then you are on a complete stock rom :thumbup:
CID: HTC_J15
Versoin mine: 3..14.401.619
it should be 415 right ? :0
i can't wait for the official RUU ! plz it's not my device i was acting smart and it's turn that i'm the dumbest ever
Well you can not use the European 3.14.401 ruu because that CID has been pulled off from the RUU but i don't know why !
and there is no matching nandroid backup in the nandroid backup thread in the general section. I already looked there.
I think you have a serious problem here ...
But......when you installed a different rom, did you make sure you wiped everything that you could wipe in the recovery (cache,dalvik cache, system,data) ?
It seems to me that you didn't do a full wipe, or you didn't flash the boot.img from the rom in fastboot usb mode ?
Download this file
http://db.tt/eLoVUcRc
Copy it to the phones sdcard, first you flash the boot.img in fastboot usb mode then you enter the recovery and do a factory reset, then you flash the file i gave you (just like a rom, it will wipe all) then you flash the rom !
Should be oke after that !
i did a cache wipe from the fastboot command .. i can't get into recovery it show a red triangle i try to re-lock and unlock it again root and install the clockmode and still with this prob .. so i try to flash a lot of boot.img file from some rom but nothing happen
it was working fine with full access to recovery mod till i flash a boot.img so i can install a room, there my problem start
i think there is no solution for my stupid mistake but if there any i'll be like, thank uuuuu
Well check all this .... Bootloader unlocked, if not unlock it and flash a custom recovery
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Download this one and rename it to recovery.img and copy it in the fastboot folder, put the phone in fastboot usb mode and flash the recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then you flash the boot.img of the rom you downloaded (its inside the rom.zip)
Copy the boot.img file also to the fastboot folder and flash it
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then you enter the recovery and do a full wipe including wiping the dalvik cache under the tab ADVANCED !
Then you install the rom.zip
okay i'll try this tomorrow, again step by step so i make sure i didn't miss anything
thank u .. i really want to try it know but it's 2a.m and i have a morning work
thank u again .. i'll update u with wut happen with me .
Good ! And charge the battery to a 100% before you start ! Can save you alot of trouble !
hey .. okay i start from da beging and so far every thing is good, i can access to the clockworkmod
now that i can't get inside the phone how can i flash the room ? it's the only step i miss

Root should not interfere the update, is your rom 100% stock (no bloatware or apps removed?)
If you are on a custom recovery, you have to flash back the stock recovery. The update will not run on a custom recovery !

Take the first bit, like 2.17 and search for the recovery here, then

You have to flash it with fastboot command.
What is your software number ? Is it 2.17 android 4.0.4 ?
If yes then download this file

Rename it to recovery.img and copy it in the fastboot folder on the pc
Then put the phone in fastboot usb mode and open a command prompt inside the fastboot folder on the pc and type

After this you boot back into the O.S. and update again

What he means is, that you have to have tools first. But you don't need whole Android SDK. Download this and extract it in Documents folder for example. (there shouldn't be spaces in path to the folder, afaik)
http://d-h.st/iqA
Then run command line in folder "Win32" (shift+right click on blank space in folder > Open command window here). Then you can run the provided commands

Just wondering for later, do I understand correctly then that if I have removed some bloatware, even if I return to stock recovery I will not be able to recieve OTAs?
Tangentially - any recommendations on the best way to know if particular bloatware apps are safe/unsafe to remove (how deeply are these apps built into the ROM?)
Yes need original recovery for install update

The minute you reflashed the custom recovery you make a NANDROID BACKUP ! After that you can do what you want. When the phone needs to be updated you restore the nandroid backup and the stock recovery and you will be able to update the official way
And yes you are right, if you remove any bloatware or system apps the phone will not update !

it didn't work unfortunately !
I
i tried to root my phone (unsuccessfully) and now i cant even factory reset it. if i try it loads onto the recovery screen where the touch screen is unresponsive (my reason for not completing the root, as well as not detecting my phone for twrp flashing). is my phone now "bricked" on stock? UNROOTABLE
I presume your bootloader is unlocked? Are you able to boot into your ROM or not?
If you want to just bring your phone back up and running, you will need to run a RUU or restore a nandroid backup:
So post the result of the following:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main

thanks again vin4yak..my phone works perfectly as htc wants it to .. ive unlocked bootloader.. pushed super su.zip.. reboot into bootloader.
cannot push twrp as it says device not found. if i go into recovery the touch screen is unresponsive.. could this be due to missing this step or should it be working?

The latest TWRP doesn't work on bases greater than 3.14... So I recommend flashing CWM and then proceeding with the rooting process!

Didn't get you??! What are you trying to say?
To flash a new recovery you have to put the recovery img file in your fastboot folder and then flash it via opening cmd in fastboot folder and phone in fastboot mode... and then :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache

I recently installed cyanogenmod 10.1 onto my htc one x and it installed fine the problem is, I forgot to install gapps and now my phone is stuck saying this message: "com.android.phone has unexpectedly stopped" the thing is, I can't use my phone for anything i can't even flash back because for some reason my phone deleted the stock rom backup I had this has also stopped it ffrom connecting to the computer so i can't access files or anything I can only access the stock hboot thing and CWMR any help would be appreciated
Flash the boot.img from cm10 rom, make a full wipe in recovery and install cm10 rom.zip and then gapps ..... reboot and it probably will be fine !

Sorryif this a nooby question but just where do i find this boot.img?
Inside the rom.zip, open the file with lets say 7zip and copy out the boot.img file and flash it with either fastboot commands or with a flash tool to the phone in fastboot usb mode

Well the phone should say "MYHTC" in the devicemanager.
Try this driver as it always worked for me

no you flash the boot.img to the phone that is in the bootloader. put the boot.img into the fastboot folder on the pc, open a command window inside that folder and flash it
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
then enter the recovery and do the steps i wrote earlier

Enter the recovery and mount the sdcard as a mass storage device, under the mounts and storage menu. Then copy the gapps to the phone !
