Hi all,
My phone info is here:
Baseband version: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
Software number: 2.13.720.2
From this link, I do not find a matching RUU for my phone.
The nearest I find is - RUU_Bravo_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.13.707.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed.exe
So should I go ahead and download this one for future references?
Thanks!
Different RUU's have different locales and languages (Asia RUU would probably have Singapore, and Europe RUU wouldn't have it for example), but the difference is very minor.
The most important thing to see when you flash an RUU is whether its meant for AMOLED or SLCD.

2. Is running an RUU safe?
It depends. If your device is an SLCD, running anything less than version 2.x has the potential to brick your device unless it is specifically certified to work with your device.

and also
If you're from India, it is branded with HTC_038

If you want a WWE (world wide) go for it, or not, you can also use a RUU meant for India. Its a personal preference.
As long as you use version 2.x above, it will be fine.
BUT! another thing to consider, is your phone unbranded?
Honestly, I suggest reading that thread abit more and see what you can learn

Thanks! Yes, I did read those help and how to links. I've understood few things which were Latin and Greek to me a couple of days ago. I've also read about the custom ROMs, the features they offer. So all in all, it's been a pretty fruitful week at xda
I've also decided on which custom ROM to flash first Just want to make sure I do it right, and hence exercising utmost caution.
'unbranded"? - as in locked to a particular network? -- No
I bought the phone unlocked and Froyo (2.2) came by default. So I didn't upgrade it OTA.
Last I updated something was the 2.13.720.2 firmware.
On your first post, just fyi, Baseband is your radio version
Each custom ROM developer would recommend their best radio version.
Anyway, if you are going to flash a custom ROM, that would mean you have to root, which you probably could go with "unrevoked" (google), and in the future, when you feel like it, Alpharev s-off.
So, as far as I know, flashing RUU's would take away root (ie. unroot, because RUUs are not "rooted"), and if you are going to flash a custom ROM, why would you be looking for an RUU?
In case I need in the future - to unroot for any reason, for warranty purposes, et al.
Before flashing a ROM, I wanna make sure that if things go wrong I have a way to restore my phone to default, which is why I wanted to know as to which RUU to download.
Okay
Well, I've done some reading around, and it looks like the RUU for India (2.13.720.2) was only released a couple of days ago.
I think the only thing now is to wait for the RUU to get dumped, or maybe request for it. :/
It's like the same that I cannot find the latest RUUs for SEA over on Shipped-Roms.
But honestly, my phone's firmware was for Asia last time, but I got sick of waiting for Froyo (it was released in Asia, but my phone just couldn't search OTA for it), and because I didn't see any RUU for it, I just downloaded a WWE version and flashed over the Asia one.
I've even talked to some people working in shops specializing in services for phones (jailbreak, root, soldering hardware, etc), and they honestly told me that even when sent back for warranty, their company does not really check software.
But also, your way has its merits. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Yes, it was realeased a couple of days ago.
Thanks for the heads up, mate. Will sit down to root my Desire in a week or so - waiting for the Christmas holidays!
I do know a couple of friends who bricked their phone (coz of incompatible RUU) and to my surprise, they got their phones replaced from HTC! So it does appear that they do not pay much attention to the software changes caused due to rooting.
Cheers!
No problem. Sorry that I couldn't be that much of a help

You've been quite helpful, yes..
I'm awaiting for the 1.28 european RUU, and i just wanted to know how long does usually take for a RUU to appear after the OTA has been released.
I would like to know that too. I just bricked my two day old One X and need the 1.28 RUU ro restore it ):
looks like no one knows
Just released and downloading now
Yes, I've picked this up too. Upgrade went smoothly, now waiting to see what gets better and what breaks...
Nice to hear that - my operator sucks ... vodafone is this time so damn slow ....
Maps live wallpaper still crashes...
Quite impressed with Orange - they're consistently only a week or so behind the unbranded release.
Downloading it now.....

1.29.061.11So what's new Pussycats?
Anyone got a link to the changelog??
There is NEVER a changelog for OTA updates, at least not from HTC - when will people remember this!!
The ONLY one I've ever seen was for the unbranded 1.29.401.7 OTA - you can read it here:
http://www.htc.com/uk/help/htc-one-x/#download
Orange do seem better these days with updates maybe its just because this phone is more upgradeable than my old desire.
Just downloading my update as I type.
Nice surprise to start the weekend o/
Installed smoothly.
My phone had ruu 1.29.061.11 however I bricked my phone and I need to find this RUU so I can save it. But I cannot find the full RUU anywhere
I have a copy of a non upgrading orange uk ruu. 1.26.061.2.
PM me and I'll upload it somewhere for a day or so.

Thanks but I have tried this RUU and it failed. I have been told this because it wont allow you to install an older RUU then you already have. I really need the 1.29.061.11 or newer RUU because this is what my phone had before I messed it up.
(This is where I read this)
' Note that the RUUs will all function on any of the phones, but the CID locking prevents you from 'debranding' your phone by installing a generic [[#RUU]]. Additionally, the CID-related software also prevents you from installing an older RUU than what you are currently running.'-The android dictionary
hmmmm. Well I started with 1.26.061.5 and was able to install .2

hmm maybe its only the '1.26' or the '1.29' that need to go up. Also would you know if It makes a difference if the bootloader is locked or unlocked when installing a ruu?
I imagine you're supposed to reflash the generic recovery and relock but I'd have to go have a read.
I've been holding off rooting myself in the hope of discovering s-off.
I will just have to wait for the latest orange ruu to be uploaded
OTA updates confuse me, especially because I have never received one. I got my HTC One X as a prize at a contest held by HTC themselves. When I got it, the software build is 1.15.401.1 and I was never able to receive updates, I later found out that the reason for this is because I have a pre-release firmware and the only way that I can update my phone is by flashing the right RUU. My phone is now on 2.17.401.2. Anyway, I am hoping that I will receive the OTA update for JB. I don't want to run RUUs again and wipe my phone.
So, let me ask question these questions:
Will I receive the official JB OTA?
My phone came with S-OFF by default, do S-OFF phones receive OTAs?
Why does European and Asian HOX have different OTA release dates?
I live in the Philippines but my phone's firmware is 2.17.401.2(European), will this affect the date when I will receive the JB OTA?
My CID is 11111111, what is this? I know this is a rare CID, but what does it do?
Lastly:
Are you mad that I got an HTC One X for free? That it is S-OFF and has a SuperCID? Are you mad that the holy grail of HTC One X is in the wrong hands of someone stupid and noob(me)?
Thanks!
Don't care at all. Enjoy your phone.
OTA will be there once JB will hit the street date. It's all about waiting now.

I believe all Asian HoX's carry the EU name, I know mine does in the buildprop.
Hi all,
I have been using ARHD roms for a while now. recently they/mike1986 released the 12 version for jellybean. as I was trying to flash it like previous versions, I noticed a requirement called CID. I got my one x in Australia through a carrier called optus so my CID is not htc... as it required n it's S-ON. I remember I once able to get super CID n s off for my sensation n it was relatively easy by following guidelines online. however, I can't found any instructions regarding how to obtain super CID for one x here or anywhere.
is it possible at this stage?
can I use the same guidelines from sensation?
how others deal with this issue?
I think this is because my very limited knowledge about android. I don't really understand the concept of CID. I know it gives u the rift to modify ur phone but how it's related to flashing a jellybean rom? why I didn't need it for previous version?
really hope some one can help me with my questions n thank you very much for all ur time.
You can't S-Off or change CID.
Others are coping by complaining.
You'll have to wait for Optus to release JB.

I have rooted and flashed custom rom into my one x. I don't think I can receive OTA from optus anymore. In fact there is not system update function within ARHD. However, based on what I read here and some other forums, I think I have two options:
1. Flash back to official rom n unroot, then wait for optus release the update or htc to release RUU
2. wait till developers pose guideline for s-off and change CID (which I believe it's doable because I have my HTC sensation s-off with super CID obtained.
either way. I will have to wait. only wait. nothing but wait. before I jump to my next device. Nexus 4? or 5 from Sony?
but anyway, thx for your reply. much appreciated.
sensation was easy because we had revolutionary
but the hox has no s-off, so we cant change cid
Unless someone manages s-off in the next 2 weeks it seems like you'd have to wait. (I have the same one x branded to optus -.- )
I think the best bet would be restoring to stock and selling the one x and buying the nexus 4. Which is what I'll be doing XD
