[Q] How to upgrade firmware/hboot [linux] - HTC One X

Hi, I'm trying to install cm10.1-RC5 from Arch Linux. I've wiped and factory reset and flashed the boot.img. I don't have s-off.
When I try to install the .zip in ClockworkMod 5.8.4.0 I get errors indicating that my bootloader isn't a compatible version. For example:
assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1.31.0000"
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10.1.0-RC5-endeavoru.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I gather that this means my hboot or firmware needs an update. I've found this thread which seems relevant:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241419
I ran "fastboot oem readcid" and got this:
...
(bootloader) DEBUG: cid: VODAP021
OKAY [ 4.075s]
finished. total time: 4.075s
So I guess this means I need Vodaphone specific firmware? Where can I access this?
Or am I on the wrong track?

Post the result of fastboot getvar version-main..
This is a cmd fastboot command (windows)... No idea what's the command for Linux.. Might be something similar..
This way we can make sure which firmware you have...

Thanks for the quick reply, here's the output:
version-main: 1.29.862.11
finished. total time: 4.069s
I've located this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376&highlight=upgrade+firmware+linux
This pointed me to .zip containing hboot 1.36.
I tried following these instructions:
http://sadevil.org/blog/2012/12/23/manually-flashing-an-ota-update/
Unfortunately the directories the tutorial references are different to the one in my .zip.

Now there are 2 ways you can upgrade your device's hboot
1: Returning to stock with a ruu and then updating to jellybean hboot with ota update.
2. Flashing the firmware zip and then installing a custom rom.
For running a ruu you will need access to a windows pc since it's an exe file : http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...11-radio-1120410514-release-260561-signedexe/
If you want to upgrade your firmware by flashing... Here's the firmware upgrade for your cid : http://goo.gl/yAa0G
Download the firmware and rename it to firmware.zip and then put it in the fastboot folder..
Steps:
1. Relock bootloader : fastboot oem lock
2. Reboot to ruu : fastboot oem rebootRUU
It will take you to a black htc screen... Wait for a few seconds for the screen to settle down and then flash the firmware :
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
You might need to flash the firmware twice if you get an error the first time! Its quite normal! After successfully flashing the firmware, you need to unlock the Bootloader, flash a custom recovery and then flash the custom rom!
PS: Again, the commands are for fastboot cmd (windows).. Linux might be a little different..

Tell us the results of:
fastboot oem readcid
And
fastboot getvar version-main
And your hboot version.
Update Hboot

Update that first!

Download the boot.img and recovery.img for the OTA 2.17.401.2
then flash boot,system.img images and the lock the oem. now try to update the device software.
these steps will work only when you haven't changed any thing in system(Files).
if this fails follows the steps below.
Download the RUU 2.17.401.2 you can find here
then run the RUU, don't close it.
open run(windows specfic) and type %temp% and find the rom.zip in those directors.
extract the boot.img and system.img from that rom.zip. and flash them.
now lock the oem.
then continue the installation of RUU.
watch out

Tried to update.. fail..
tried to update hboot. battery low, and allready had it re locked.
So double check!

that is because thats the wrong RUU for your phone you need the O2 2.17.206.xx RUU first then you should be able to install jelly bean from there. i hope this helps
Download this RUU
http://www.htcruu.com/securekey.php..._Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251230_signed.exe
Now put the phone in the bootloader / fastboot usb mode and lock your bootloader ( if it is not locked)
Fastboot oem lock
After this you keep the phone in the bootloader / fastboot usb mode and right click the RUU.EXE file on the pc and select
RUN WITH ADMINISTRATOR RIGHTS (or the similar command )
Reboot the phone and start updating by checking for updates in settings - software

HTC One X - T-Mobile

I have a HTC One X which has a T-Mobile firmware, CID: T-MOB005. Several months ago it was not possible to flash this device, has this now changed?
yeah it has....i've got the same CID and the JB firmware has been released
Can you point me i the direction of the right tutorial?
Do I need to S-OFF or change me CID for custom roms?
S-off is not needed, its as we speak even impossible to obtain .....
But you can go here for your firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
Read it carefully !
afford ganisava
I found the right firmware, but can't find the instructions.
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

[Q] IceColdJelly422 - 2.9.5 unable to flash after hboot upgrade to 1.28

Hi all
I have the HTC ONE X International TEGRA 3 version.
Could do with some help.
I've updated HBOOT to 1.28 and when i try to install aokp_ICJ422-V2.9.5.zip in recovery this is what i get:
updating partition details...
installing '/sdcard/0/roms/aokp_ICJ422-V2.9.5.zip'...
checking for md5 file...
skipping md5 check: no md5 file found.
assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1.28.0000" ||
E:error in 'sdcard/0/roms/aokp_ICJ422-V2.9.5.zip'
updating partition details...
Then it says Failed underneath
This is using Team Win Recovery Project v2.4.1.0
Any help is appreciated
AFAIK it should work on 1.28 hboot but it seems that LorD made a slight mistake while writing the updater script...
Is there any way you could update the hboot even further?

I dont think i can as it was what was on the htc dev website and i just use the identifier token thats shown in cmd prompt
Ahem, hboot version has nothing to do with either htcdev or identifier token.
Please do:
fastboot oem readcid
And post the result here.

INFODEBUG: cid: HTC__001
You can go up to 1.39. Please stand by for instructions.
Download this: http://goo.gl/M0hLq
Rename it "firmware" if it isn't already named so. Copy it to the fastboot folder.
Put your Unlock_code.bin to your fastboot folder (search email inbox if you've lost it)
Then do the commands one by one:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (do several times if it fails)
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Then flash the recovery of your choice and proceed.

the last thing: "Run the RUU exe file (of your CID) in fastboot mode"
does this mean i need to open the exe when my phone is connected in fastboot usb?

Download this RUU :http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...12-radio-2120413520-release-274900-signedexe/
Lock your bootloader using following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then run the ruu with admin privileges. It will take your phone to full stock! Then you can update OTA via Software Updates to the latest firmware and then you can flash any 4.2.2 roms out here!
