Updating bootloader on HTC One X? - HTC One X

Hi all,
I've been out of the whole rooting and flashing roms thing for a while and have finally decided to update Cyanogenmod on my One X, when I try installing the zip through recovery it comes up with an error (Can't remember what it is off the top of my head) and when I have googled it the answers are to update my bootloader.
I have searched about to see if there was a nice guide to tell me how to do this but all I can find is people linking to this thread, I have downloaded the files there had a quick read through but I have no idea what I am doing?
Could anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial or tell me how to update it? Needs to be 1.29 or higher apparently.

Hey all. I have followed the steps in the Development forum but one thing I have a problem with is the RUU file. The link for the file in the Development forum is a broken link. I have found a few by Googling but everytime I run the update via hboot it says Main Version is Older. Does anyone have a link for an RUU? I do remember the last time I sent my phone in the RUU was 169MB and it worked fine but I did not keep it. The ones I find now are 139MB and that is when I get the error. Can anyone help me out?

It is always going to give that error because an ruu wont let you downgrade. That guy was verry vauge in his instructions and provided no proof, also he was already s-off. I dont think he knows what he did. It is comon knowledge that an ruu will not let you downgrade.
Above Correct

[Q] Where can I find the RUU for HTC Asia WWE 1.29.707.11?

thanks for your help mate, that link is already saved on my bookmark, still no updates for RUU for HTC_Asia_WWE_1.29.707.11
>ok what i did, i update OTA my HOX from version 1.28 to this 1.29.707.11
then i installed a custom tweak for status bar, knowing that it's not compatible with new version anymore, so after installing my status bar went blank, its gone...
so i decided to try to install a custom rom, i tried HD Revolution..
I copied the ROM file, then followed steps, like flashed superswipe then flashed the rom in the recovery... the custom rom is based on a different version, so it failed to install, then since i did a superswipe, now all files including system files on my phone is gone, it's completely empty
now my phone boots only up to the HTC logo screen...
the only solution that i can think is to flash RUU of 1.29.707.11.. is there any other option on how to fix this???

Hello onat_kippz,
I'm facing the same problem as you too. I think I'm in a "bootloop", can't get pass the HTC one(TM) screen with the beatsaudio logo at the bottom. You are facing the same thing too?
Like you, I have tried a few versions of RUU (ASIA WWE 1.28.707.10 and ASIA SEA WWE 1.29.728.12), the first one gave me an Error 140: Bootloader version error, and the second one i got an Error 130: Model ID Error. I was previously on 1.29.707.11.
Other than waiting for the RUU version to come out, have you thought of any ideas? I tried mounting the device in recovery mode and try to push a custom rom img file over, but i couldn't mount it at all. Would have been easier if there is an external microSD card slot. Never thought highly of the feature until now...
How I got into this mess in the first place? I was just trying to remove the irritating 3-dot menu at the bottom of most apps, and trying to save some screen real estate. Much regrets...
By the way, which country is your device from? Mine is from Malaysia.
I'm downloading the 1.29.707.11 and will upload and post in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604 in next two hours if there is no one else upload it.
@maverickfoo
you can only run the 1.29.707.11, the Asia WWE RUU

First some ground rules:
-You have to use your region's RUU (XXX in RUU x.xx.XXX.x name)
-You cannot install previous version of RUU on your phone once you install a newer version with a newer HBOOT. It won't work.
-With most custom ROMs, since they don't upgrade HBOOT even though they use a newer base such as 401.11, you have the freedom of going to a previous RUU version.
Once you download your RUU, take a look at here (thanks to JDR0iD):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599748
Also, you can use this tool to make your lifes easier (thanks to hasoon2000):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24967468&postcount=1
If you don't want to lose whatever is on your phone, I would recommend running the RUU installer and while it's waiting for your OK on your PC, go to your %temp% directory, find the latest directory created, there you will find the rom.zip. Copy that to somewhere else (like your desktop), unzip and you will see all the img files you need: boot.img recovery.img hboot.img etc. Then you can use the tool in the second link to install these image files in proper order.
Or, if you don't care whats on the phone, hit OK on the RUU window
Thanks! problem solved!

Stuck in HTC-Screen

Hey,
I'm one of the "lucky" guys with the blackscreen problem on the WFS... Thanks to rajanand
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781105
So now I'm able to flash new roms But it seems to me that only Android 2.3.5 Roms are running.
If I try to flash an ICS Rom i get stuck in the HTC Boot Screen. I tried to flash a new Kernel from a 2.3.5. Rom that was working (.sense Rom, AND YES I know that was a stupid idea ) This took me from the HTC Bootscreen to a blackscreen. This blackscreen is also visible in [email protected]
Trying a CM7.2 Rom with the same procedure written above I am able to see the CM7.2 load animation, but the device gets stuck in this animation.
So I hope that someone has an idea what I can do.
I already tried a superwipe (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565263). I take a factory-reset/cach wipe/dalvik wipe for granted.
My Hboot version is 1.09.0099. As several Posts said that the bootloader should be updeted, I tryed to find a newer one as the version seen above, but I was not able to find that newer version.
Thanks for your help.
PS:
I hope I did not overlook a Post that could have helped me.....

Thank you for that link. I have downloaded all provided (there are two) europe RUUs but no one worked for me. I allways get the error 155.
If i unplug the Cable (the RUU update tool tells me to do it) HBOOT says:
RUU
Security fail!
update fail.
Takeing the battary out and in again lets the phone reboot again.
What did HTC with the WFS so that nothing works? I am so dissappointed with my device. But thank you so much for helping me

Hi mate,
I Just did mine, took my time even though it only took 10-15 mins max. Stick with one guide stop going back and forth, there is some excellent guides out there, look in the tutorials. Also I will tell you what guide I followed if I am allowed to do so, as I cant remeber if I followed it from a link on this forum. However it is on a different site not a forum but a different site.

Hey guys,
I dropped my HTC One M8 today, and now it has a crack in the screen.
Well, I wanted to go back to the store to get it replaced under warranty, but I needed to unroot & go back to stock first.
So at home I tried to go back to stock and stuff, but it just didn't work. That is where **** hit the fan.
Right now, I can't boot into Android, can't boot intro recovery. Everytime I start my phone it boots into FASTBOOT USB, and I have the following screen: *see attachment*
I really don't know what to do, I've been searching for serveral hours and my guess is I hard-bricked it...
Please, please tell me there is a way to make it boot into android again...?

Yea being s-on I don't think you can what is your cid and what carrier do you have maybe someone can modify one of the ruus to work with your cid cause it seems the ruu is checking your cid and it doesn't match for the ruu so it isn't working. Have you tried reflashing twrp and seeing if you can enter recovery again then maybe restore one of the backups from the backups thread. I don't know how much help I can actually be cause I'm just a flasher hopefully someone with more experience and knowledge can jump in and help you I'm just suggesting what I would do in your situation. I hope you get your phone booted again though

Third of all, HTC US is different than other regions. Most of the other RUUs that have been made available are not found on HTC's websites. Most are leaked versions, I believe.

Chances are, I'm no smarter than you are. Read and search and learn. That's what we all do here.
And sharing knowledge is what this site is based on. Please continue to try to help others.
Just don't be offended if someone corrects you. I do agree that I could have done it in a more tactful manner though. I can see how my post might have come across as abrasive, but that was not intended.
