Hello all, First of all I want to thank this enormous community for their massive support to the mobile platform.
My question has been answered many times but there is a problem that I am facing while doing it particularly with my phone,
I currently have unlocked bootloader with S-OFF and I am running 4.1.1 Jelly Bean RC3 custom rom by The Albinoman. I am now getting an upgrade and I want to give my phone to my younger sister with stock rom and S-ON with locked bootloader,
I managed to get to Froyo and GB version 4.06.605.3 with RUU/PB31IMG.zip images and got S-ON with locked bootloader. However my system refuses to update to 4.08.605.2 version.
The phone downloaded the update OTA but does not restart to install it. Sometimes when it restarts, It gives the triangle with exclamation error.
I tried flashing the it as update.zip from stock recovery and custom recovery as well, but it wont just install it. Be it S-ON or S-OFF or locked bootloader or unlocked one.
I tried to update to 4.08.605.2 from froyo and gb 4.06.605.3, but to no avail. I also tried running 4.08 RUU with 4.06 installed. The RUU would report a success but the software still wont be updated on the phone.
Do you have any recommendations on what to do?
Your help would be really appreciated

First, were it me I'd keep S-OFF and bootloader unlocked. The phone stays more useful that way, and it's your sister, not a random stranger.
Flash a stock ROM from recovery and call it a day.
That said, the RUUs should flash unless they're trying to downgrade hboot. Perhaps that's the problem?

I have the same problem in ICS , after installing the original recovery and lock the bootloader the problem gone.
Samooorje is right but TT actually also, in some cases the ruu fails and after flashing back the stock recoveryand/or the stock boot.img they had succes. But this is not applied to everybody, i for instance did not had to reflash anything before running the JB ruu. Still have no clue why this is. :thumbup:

back to stock for OTA
HTC ONE X on Stock Jelly Bean after i flashed JB viper x 3.3.3, everything was working fine. I decided to try an OTA update, reflashing the stock ICS back using Custom Ruu, wich is an awsome project. i returned to stock ICS 4.0.3, reflashed stock recovery, i tryied an ota update, i was able to get it ( not JB, i think it was something else, maybe ICS 4.0.4), than stuck in bootloop....in fast boot it was an red warning message, about recovery i think...i repeat the whole procedure once more, i got ICS 4.0.3 functionally, then OTA , after again boot loop. what do you think is the cause? could be the recovery? i flashed the recovery extracted from original stock ICS 4.0.3 rom
( RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_TMO_DE_1.29.111.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260730_signed)...i didn t try the JB stock recovery

Are you posting this everywhere now ??? Stay in one thread. I will not follow you around here you know :banghead:
If you answered my question in the other thread we would be a lot further by now .....
Well I tried custom firmware after successfully unlocking my HTC One X. It says Unlocked but S-ON so not sure whats going on there? But since S-On I cannot change the CID as get the error (status read failed (too many links)) MY CID is H3G_001 and since I rooted my phone refuses to let me upgrade to OTA Jellybean which is frustrating forcing custom firmware.
Without updating CID I got stuck in a bootloop at least I guess it was as it was just stuck on the quitely brilliant screen for 20 minutes before I shut it off and tried another firmware which did the same. I am now in the process of a Nandroid recovery so I can at least use the phone. Three have a ton of bloatware which sucks. But I gotta stick with it as cannot figure out why it wont let me flash.. All help is appreciated. This phone is alot harder to flash than my HTC Desire which was a breeze.

you cannot s-off the one x, all you have done is unlock the bootloader which will allow you to flash clockwork recovery and flash su etc.
Unlocked s-on is normal.
Unlocking has nothing to do with s-off
At present there is no way to change your cid.
2x errors have occurred here
Ota updates fail after rooting if you leave the custom recovery on there.
You needed to unlock. Flash or boot custom recovery.
Flash supersu binaries
Flash stock recovery
Then boot ROM.
That way it would have been rooted and still allow ota updates.
You have made things worse by flashing the firmware.zip
By flashing the firmware you have updated your hboot. Probably to 1.36
Which will no longer work for the ICS ROM that is on your phone.
You need to find a nandroid backup for jellybean for your cid.
Just switching to PC to find you some links
ok looked more into it
you should still be able to boot after restoring your nandroid.
dont forget to pull the boot.img from your backup and reflash it as flashing the firmware will have put the JB boot.img on
you will want to restore the stock recovery which you can find in the firmware.zip once you have restored your backup
reboot into your rom and do the OTA that way

I restored from my nandroid and its working fine, all back to 4.0.4 with the phone unlocked I used CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip when i rooted my phone (or at least im sure I did as I did root over 6 months ago now).
So how would I go about updating to a custom firmware then?? Instead of the OTA as would prefer to get rid of the bloatware as half the apps aren't even English..
If you want a custom ROM
Try looking at something like latest android revolution HD
Very similar to stock but no bloat.

Okay thanks for that but how do I get it to work with my CID is what I would like to know do I have to first get OTA jellybean working then a custom firmware to update the CID? It seems a little confusing.. I listed my CID in first post but like I also said all custom firmwares I tried Viper X 3.3.4 and skydragon both left me with a phone stuck on boot screen for 20 minutes until i gave up and just turned off.
Your cid is irrelevant for anything except going to stock.
Custom ROMs arnt dependent on cid.
But they are dependent on hboot versions.
Cm10 ROMs will not work on any hboot>1.12
Any sense jellybean ROMs or ROMs with 3.1 kernels need a hboot version of at least 1.23
Couldn't saw viperx ROM but dragon is based on 3.17 so your hboot has to be minimum of 1.23
After installing the custom ROM you did flash the boot.IMG in fastboot didn't you?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
where i get the boot.img? I think i may have missed that part *duh* OKAY nm found that hboot is 1.12 need to update... Updating the Hboot means I have to go back to stock right? Then update OTA to get Hboot update then I can get JB..

You need a stock boot.img, stock recovery and a stock ICS Rom. Then you will get OTA to JB, upgrading that way your hboot. Then you can flash any custom JB Rom.
P.s. The correct boot.img is in the rom's zip folder. Every time you change the rom you should flash the proper boot.img.

Yeah problem is I need RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_H3G_UK_2.17.771.3 to go back to stock and it doesn't exist.. Anyway around the RUU exe ?
EDIT NM found I can use the nandroid method.. Giving it a shot now.
Go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
And download your matching nandroid ! Restore it including flashing the boot.img from the nandroid. After that you flash this recovery back
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
And you are on stock again. And also able to update to JB
That did NOT work I got back to stock but without the RUU exe file it seems it will not install I loveked my phone aswell and when i try to install the OTA update i just get kicked to bootloader.
Edit didnt see above post sorry
So did it work.....I know my method works !
Sorry yeah it worked Was up till stupidly late trying to do it as I was following another method as I never saw yours (a really old one) Where I locked my phone so had to unlock etc.. Plus download that update OTA each time took 1 hour. I'm now on stock with Hboot 1.39 thankyou so much really appreciate! So now I just reflash recovery yeah? And backup nandroid then go for my custom rom?
Yes exactly !
I now have Android Revolution working perfectly and since I paid for Nova Prime I decided to go for lite after all and removed Sense thank so much for that method so much easier than the guides on here which make it sound so difficult I really was pulling my hair out!
Nice ! Glad it worked :thumbup:
CASE CLOSED !
Is it possible? And if the answer is yes, then how should i do it?
You can try to flash an ics rom, but isn't said that everything is working (ex: Wifi / Data)
Instead, if you have an hox with S-OFF you can downgrade your hboot and flash an ics rom...
there is no reason to come back to ics. JB with some roms works perfectly. The only problem is s-off but it will come
I know that any ics sense rom will work fine on the higher hboots. They will fully work :thumbup:
I have 2 identical DHD phones, one is still totally stock the other I used the now retired hack kit to get root, s-off etc. I have tried several custom ROMS with the DHD with root but GPS doesn't work on any of them. On the other hand my stock DHD with GB 2.3.5 gets a GPS fix in seconds.
Is it possible that the rooted DHD has a faulty GPS antenna/setup?
BTW the ROMs I have tried all have working GPS so the problem isn't the ROM.
Any suggestions?
cheers
to rule out rom issue, you can try flashing rooted stock rom, or even flash ruu, which i think should preserve radio s-off. if you are using jb rom, try flashing latest radio
