[Q] about firmware update - HTC One X

Sorry if I post a noob question , but since we are all waiting for sense 5, I ' m thinking about restoring stock, in order to get an official update from HTC (I hope it will come soon), so my question is:
if my firmware version was never updated past 3.14.401.31 and I can't find any nandroid backup of this version with stock recovery , will I be able to flash stock odexed rom 3.20.401.1 from mike1986 with stock boot and recovery and get the official updates, or will I have to run the RUU from 3.14.401.31 and do all the OTAs ?

Run the 3.14.401.31 RUU to get back to stock and then ota with official updates !

Software version is 3.14.206.27
Download the 2.17.206 nandroid from the nandroid backup collection in the general thread. Restore it with Its boot.img and after that flash back the stock recovery
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
Then you can update officially again !
I prefer this method because you dont have to relock and unlock the bootloader, this way you can keep it unlocked. Less chances of problems !!!
And if you are already on a JB hboot this method with a lower version nandroid works ..... The software and hboot is getting fooled
The software gets updated while the hboot stays at for example 1.39

[Q] About Upgrading HBOOT After Installing Custom ROM

Hi,
First time user of an Android device. I have a branded Vodafone HTC One X that I unlocked and flashed Cyanogenmod 10 on. It works wonderful, runs really fast and is overall much better than Sense. Now that Cyanogenmod 10.1 has reached beta stage, I'm intending on trying out JB 4.2.1. In order to do that, I need to update my HBOOT past 1.28.
It is here that I am quite lost. I did a bit of reading around on xda and other forums to figure out the best method and got a lot of different and sometimes conflicting info. I think this FAQ is the most accurate to my situation although I am worried that it is out of date: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660807
If it helps, the current HBOOT version on my phone is 1.12 and the CID is VODAP021.
It seems the consensus is that I have to (from top to bottom order):
Revert back to stock Sense ROM
Revert back to stock recovery
Relock bootloader (Do I lose root when I do this?)
Run the correct RUU for my phone in order to update HBOOT
Re-unlock bootloader, re-root (if necessary), re-flash custom recovery and flash CM10.1
Are all the above steps correct?
I am aware that there is a collection of stock Nandroid backups somewhere on this forum, but for simplicity's sake can I just restore the Nandroid backup I made prior to flashing Cyanogenmod on my phone? Will restoring the backup also restore the boot.img file? Will the backup also revert my phone back to stock recovery?
Also, I looked on the RUU directory (http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Endeavor) and found two RUU's that match my phone's CID: 1.26.862.3 and 1.29.862.11. Which one is correct?
Sorry if I seem to be bombarding with questions. I think I get the gist of it, but I'm rather paranoid of screwing up so I just want to triple check my understanding before I do anything. If I am over-complicating things, please let me know.
Yes root is lost on lock ( only remporarily ). When you unlock with fastboot oem unlock_token.bin you get back root.
Has Vodafone released JB update for your phone? If yes , then you dont need RUU. After returning to complete stock ( even recovery ) you cant update with official OTA . This will update the hboot.
You only have to revert to full stock and stock recovery. The bootloader can stay unlocked ! :thumbup:
And yes the ota is out for him
The basic steps are :
Flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup
Full wipe in recovery (caches,data,system)
Restore the nandroid backup
Flash the stock recovery
According to your hboot 1.12 you are on 2.17 based android 4.0.4 software .....
This is your stock recovery

There was indeed an OTA for my phone which updated HBOOT to 1.36. Updated to CM10.1 with no dramas and was much simpler than I anticipated.
Thanks everyone for all the advice!
Nice ! Glad we could help !

Im a noob, but I think you have to go back to the stock sense ROM and then gete the official update to Jelly Bean. After that you will have the 1.39 HBOOT and then you can install CM10.1

it wont let me flash back to stock because hboot is different higher
Go here and do the firmware flash... READ freakin carefully !
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927048
the firmware flash lifts the hboot to a JB one and then install any JB rom you like
THANK YOU

[Q] HBOOT 1.31 get to Stock

Hey guys, I got a problem.
I'm on HBOOT 1.31 right now.
Version: 3.14.401.619
I want to flash a Stock RUU and lock the device again.
I found this RUU:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
In the thread was a hint that these is for HBOOT 1.36
So i can't install this. If I try, I get an 155 error message.
I thought if I'm on a lower Hboot I could flash RUU's with higher Hboots without problems?!
What can I do? Update Hboot to 1.36 and try to flash the RUU again?
Or is there another way?
I trying for hours now and don't now what to do anymore.
Fastboot oem readcid
What comes out of that ?
I got
HTC__102
Well what you can try is to fully restore a 2.17.401 nandroid backup and flash back the stock 2.17 recovery and update again to 3.14 ! Its the last 3 digits that are off. Think that's the reason why a ruu won't work in this case !
Link to nandroid
http://db.tt/xT5zfFWi
Link to stock recovery
http://db.tt/OtcxVXh5
Unpack the nandroid to the sdcard. Flash the boot.img from the nandroid, make a full wipe in recovery and restore the nandroid. Then flash back the stock recovery and boot into android OS and update via official ota.....
Do NOT relock the bootloader !!!

[Q] HBOOT for J_15

My Hboot is 1.39
and i wanted to know what is the latest Hboot for this CID
as i saw some guys here having the same CID and have Hboot v1.73
So can someone help before i screw up my phone ?
BTW i am currently with ARHD 31.3
Also , My stock backup is gone , so thats an issue and i didn't find a ruu for my phone.
Some hints :
Fastboot getvar version-main
That command gives you the nand number you need. Check in the general section for the nandroid backup collection. And restore the one you need if it's available for download. After restore you need to flash back the stock recovery and update. How to is described there too.
And yes there are updates waiting for you.
Cheers.
Ruu is not available indeed. And if there is no nand available just keep on using a sense 5 rom if you want. All current roms work on your 1.39 hboot.

If you wish to update the hboot, all u need to do is do a nandroid restore to 4.0.4 (which is available in this forum)..fastboot flash stock boot.img, and fastboot flash stock recovery.img and lastly relock the bootloader..then update your phone normally via OTA to get the latest rom and hboot..unlock and install custom roms...that's it...
And do NOT loose another stock backup again !
Edit :
Relocking the bootloader is not needed. The 1.29 and the 3.16 are available. The 1.29 is probably of no use because i don't think you find official ota with that anymore. The 3.16 may be of use but therefore we need your main. If your main is lower you cant use it either !
You can find them here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
@amirage where is the 4.0.4 ? I can't see it at this moment.....another thread ?
1.29 = 4.0.3
3.16 = 4.1.1

cant find RUU for my baseband

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 ?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zytyrh349mmkz45/Stock recovery 4.18.img
Flash that and apply the ota again.
