[Q] HTC One X update hboot CID HTCCN701

Hello everyone,
I have an international HTC One X with CID HTCCN701, and I would like to install CM10.1.
I am not a noob , and I have already installed a Jelly Bean ROM after unlocking. However, I am currently on hboot version 1.12 S-ON Unlocked, and I could not find a hboot that is for my CID which fits the requirements (Version 1.28 or higher)
Moreover, though I know how to flash hboot, it would be great if anyone can provide a method to update hboot without changing the present ROM, recovery, and data on the device.
Thank you!
P.S. Please do not tell me to search; I cannot find a firmware here for HTCCN701

Does anyone have a solution?

Check for a newer hboot here

Is there 1.29 boot RUU for your device?
Or try this method, get back to stock with stock recovery, relock your bootloader then check for updates and update your device, and checl your bootloader version.

Hello everyone,
I have found a new firmware.zip for my phone.
However, because it looks suspicious, would someone please tell me how to verify if the zip is indeed real? (Not edited)

Thank you!

try to install it, if it fails to pass htc sig and cid check, it wont do any harm

Yes, I think there is 1.29 RUU, but isn't the hboot contained in it not up to date?
And, I have already checked for updates when I was on stock ROM back in mid June.

Thanks, but are you sure it will just refuse to flash if it is a fake? Because I saw on the forums that if a wrong firmware is flashed, the device could be bricked.
Another question is that is it possible to upgrade hboot without modifying system and data?

You would need s-off for it to flash if it's fake and upgrading the hboot doesn't wipe system or data , although unlocking the boot loader does

[Q] Is there anyway to bring the M8 on T-mobile back to stock ?

I have rooted and flashed a custom recovery on my HTC One M8, only to find out that firewater s-off doesn't work on my phone. Now there is a tampered notification on Hboot and I cannot get OTA updates. Is there a RUU zip or stock ROM RUU .exe for the T-Mobile version of it ? Please help me !?

How do you root and add custom recovery?

Do you mean did I try to do S-off using a custom ROM ? No I did not try that. I honesty didn't want to deviate to much away from stock.

HTC has not released an RUU for the HTC One M8 yet so you have to wait. that's why I'm still stock not even root or custom recovery. Always have a way to go back to complete stock before making any mods if you are not sure.

Technically you can just install the custom recovery, then Nandroid your current Rom IMG after that and back it up to the external SD card or Cloud Storage if you wanna go back to "stock/rooted" Before you play with any Roms.
Tho yes I understand your view. I was rooted on 4.4.2 on my bootloader locked Republic Wireless Moto X and it had a force close settings issue...
Needless to say I accidentally wiped my system and was stuck having to RSD Lite back to 4.4.2 stock unrooted because of that, thus loosing root forever (as they patched the exploit in 4.4.2 and the new bootloader doesn't allow for downgrading back to 4.2.

Are you sure you need S-OFF for HK? I thought I read here someone was able to use the S-ON download from the HK thread and it worked.

Can the RUU be run even if you convert to GPE or is there more to the process?

Can you find that thread ? Because S-Off doesn't work on my phone at all.

Fully Working Harman / Kardon "conversion" for all HTC ONE M8 variants! - May 05
It's better off you are S off, but you can still attempt it. The thing is if you need to update the drivers, it is strongly recommended to be S off. For 25 dollars, I used sunshine and was able to get s off. Depends on how bad you want it, I suppose.

The thing is, I have a T-Mobile M8 and my device will not allow me at all to S-off. I tried firewater with no dice. So I'm willing to pay a bit to get S-Off.

You can flash a signed RUU if you are S-On and bootloader locked with stock recovery.

Might I add the following ...recovery shouldn't matter AND the signed/encrypted ruu must be the same os/firmware (or higher) than what is currently installed.

Recovery shouldn't matter, but I have heard it won't work without it. It may be different now though.

Bootloader Update for Lollipop

I have an AT&T CWM_001 m8 and I want to flash cyanogenmod 12 (a lollipop rom) but it won't let me because my bootloader is out of date. Could somebody tell me how I can update it or how I can successfully flash an android 5.0 rom. Thank you.

Update: I think I need firmware 3.19.000. How do I get this?

Are you on 4.4?

He means 4.4.4 the firmware you are on is super old if you're s-off just download a 4.4.4 ruu and you should be good if you're s-on its a pain

Easiest ways to s-off?

Sunshine

Since you're on 4.4.2 firewater is free its fairly easy as well but you do need a windows PC and adb and on it as well if you don't have that,sunshine should work but it's 25 dollars

No, firewater = offline ! Firewater needs to do an online check with the developers server and that is offline.
So therefore firewater will not work .....ever !

No problem, now you do

Sunshine is the only way to s-off now that is the easiest way to get to lolipop you can stay s-on and download a 4.4.2 backup for your specific carrier then flash stock recovery check firmware version to get the right recovery for your firmware

So if I achieve s-off then flash a 4.4.4 ruu my bootloader will be updated to 3.19.0.0000 and I can install the cyanogenmod 12 rom I want to install?

check firmware version?

So I managed to flash a rooted developer edition rom on my m9 and when I tried to run ota updates, I got an error saying that it couldn't finish because my phone's software has been modified. After some searching around (and admiditantly some arguing), found out that it's because my firmware doesn't match my android version. I'm still running android 5.0.2 and I don't THINK I messed with the firmware. So how do I check the firmware version and find either a rom (preferably as close to stock as possible) or a ruu that will work for the software/firmware versions that I'm using?

Please do a "fastboot getvar all" and post here.

Download this RUU: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=96039337900114053
Rename it to 0PJA100.zip
Put it in root of your card(fat32 formatted).
Boot in download(make sure you have sufficient battery) and follow instructions.
P.S: First backup your data, this procedure will erase all your data.

If you have S-OFF it's simple to convert, I'll show you a little tutorial.
If you don't have S-OFF it's impossible and you'll be stuck with this firmware if you won't get an AT&T sim.
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

I don't have S-offor or the $25 for sunshine. Shouldn't there be a t-mobile, MetroPCS or developer rom or ruu that's compatible with the firmware I'm using?

You can only flash AT&T because of CID, every carrier have different CID and because that the different RUU will give you error.
Only with S-OFF you can change CID and MID and flash any GSM RUU.
So, you're stuck with 1.32.502.9 firmware until you get an AT&T sim to update it or s-off it.
With this firmware you can only flash custom roms with Android version 5.x and some 6.0.x but just few 6.0.x and maybe will be unstable.

Ah, okay. So basically, I have to go back to AT&T then use a series of ruu files to work my way to nougat then finally flash the custom rom?

Or you can just flash this RUU, then update it from settings, it's more simple.

That's actually why I tried flashing a rom. AT&T won't let you get updates unless you're using their sim card for some ungodly reason.

I understand what you tried but it's impossible to jump firmware to 2.xx.502.xx or more with RUU, this can be done only with OTA on S-ON phones.
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Is it possible to go from one ruu to the next until I get the phone to nougat though?

No, you cannot update it to 2.xx.502.xx or more with RUU, just OTA, Flippy explained you why in the other thread(different encryption between 1.... 2... 3... and 4... firmwares).
So the only way to update your firmware is to flash the RUU I give you(don't flash twrp, root,etc), get an AT&T sim and update it from settings until you reach nougat.
I don't explain it one more time... I think I explained the same thing in different ways 3-4 times....
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Excuse me. I was thinking/hoping software provided by HTC themselves would be able to upgrade the firmware along with the OS instead of forcing everyone to be stuck with the only option for software upgrades from a carrier that we don't even want/use. It only makes sense that if it can be done on samsung phones, which I've rooted and flashed several times, it could also be done on HTC. So it looks like the only way to get nougat is to suck AT&T's ****. Thanks.
