[Q] OTA doesn't match my RUU? HTC One X

Can anyone help and explain the process for me to have an up to date 4.2.2 Android HTC One X?
Basically I had previously tried to install Viper X on my HTC One X with total failure - phone is rooted & unlocked SIM.
So I had to learn the hard way and found a RUU that worked on the phone after flashing it - however the OTA will not install 1. On it's own 2. Manually via CWM.
There is an error via CWM when trying to update OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_50_S_H3G_UK_4.18.771.4-3.14.771.34_release_3327518r9ohuh8uqo0olne.zip I guess it is telling me it's not the same CID?
My CID is H3G_001 currently although I am not sure that this is the correct one for my phone - it was the only RUU I could find that worked!
So I ask:
1. Is there available an update that I can manually install for my RUU? and where can I find it?
2. Is there another stock recovery RUU I can install and then update the OTA my phone has downloaded? and if so where can I download it and how do I install?
Really hoping you guys can help?
PS - Does my RUU have to be branded to 3 (Three) ? Can it not be a Tmobile stock ROM as that's whom I am with?
Fingers crossed someone has the answer . . . . .

To be able to receive the 4.2.2 you need following things:
Stock Rom
Stock Kernel
Stock Recovery
Unlocked/Relocked/Locked bootlaoder doesn't matter.
Patience
Root will be lost after OTA.
If you have all of this you just have to wait for it to arrive for your CID.
For now it's only out on WWE cids and some Vodaphone ones...
To get the stock rom ether restore a nandroid or install a RUU for 4.0.3 or higher, and update it to 4.1.1.
Then it's just waiting...
Alternatively you could flash the stock WWE version that you can get at the ARHD thread, but it's better to wait for the OTA as it will update the hboot as well

Cheers for the info - problem is I am unsure which stock rom to use and where to get it from - any idea's? - I tried a few previously by guesswork but then had issues like no Wi-Fi or No signal etc - the one I have now was the only one that worked - CID H3G_UK - not sure which operator it was on. Can you point me to a good stock rom where I can start?

The one I am using at the moment is H3G_001 and its a 3 Three ROM maybe if I put H3G_UK on it I would get all the updates again?

The same problem
Hey everyone,
I have almost the same problem. everyone is receiving the OTA update except me. I emailed the HTC support center and they said since my phone was purchased in Singapore I won't get the update. (Even though I live in the UK)
So, does anyone know how I should change my ROM to a UK version so I get the update? (I'm not very technical, please someone explain to me in simple words)
Thank you everyone in advance.

Hi, need some help

Ive been reading this section of the forum for 2 nights now. read various threads and none the wiser.
Ive unlocked my htc one x using the windroid htc one app which worked fine, but installing a rom was not as easy. now < i admit, i dived in and installed a ROM without seeing what else it needs to work ( am used to flashing nexus roms) and now its stuck at the HTC screen. Now i've tried various ways to rectify the proplem. uisng various roms, flashing boot.img before flashing the rom, no go. tried older roms, no go.
I know the hboot needs updating, but without a cid id then i cant find a matching firmware.zip.
Ive tried to do a RUU boot by locking the bootloader but get this:

thanks for your help that got the phone back to booting properly
I flashed it and it worked. I got myself back to the latest update. Now i tried various roms again as i'm one for experimenting but some of the newest ones dont seem to want to work.
ones i've tried>
Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_33.1
HTC_One_X_-_MaximusHD_21.0.0
OneX The Next Chapter! v1.2
but none of them worked for me.
So i went lower with
cm-10.1.3-endeavoru which worked
then updated to
cm-10.2.0-endeavoru and flashed the boot.img for it to work.
Now for the other roms, what am i missing? is it the firmware.zip? hboot level?
Am bowing down to Thant, and hoping he can tell a mere minion what he's doing wrong

I don't think you updated far enough ! Post the outcome of :
Fastboot getvar version-main
Edit :
I see thant is offline, so i chip in......

cyanogenmod stable rom not recognising sim, and not being recognised by htc sync
Hi i just unlocked and rooted my phone. one of the first things i did after having rooted it was go into rom-manager and download the highest rated cyanogen mod stable rom...expecting it to reboot itself and do the update automatically once id downloaded the file i was suprised when nothing happened...so i put it into recovery mode myself and searched the phone's storage for the rom file...it was infact two files, one the rom, the other gapps...i installed both of them and rebooted the phone...at first i was left on cyanogenmod bootloop...after a few restarts, and factory resets, i eventually got past the cyanogen mod intro wheel, to its actual introduction *asking me to choose a language*, as soon i choose my language i get notification asking me to insert my simcard (it already is, OF COURSE...), as i go through the rest of the setup there is no network coverage or internet..so i cant simply download rom-manager and try another flash..it also wont come up as a recognised device on my macbook...ive downloaded another flash of cyanogenmod on my laptop along with a new gapps, but im utterly lost about what to do now...i cant even put them on the phone....
wud love any help

the reason i'm so frustrated is aside from the supposedly stable build of cyanogen mod i downloaded in rommanager not working, the rom doesnt recognise my sim, i dont have access to the internet, so i cant simply download a new rom to flash straight from rom manager...as well as this the wifi doesn't seem to work on this flash...and to make matters worse it's not being recognised by the drivers...i'm using htc sync manager..when i plug in the phone it will open htc sync manager but wont show that a phone is paired to my macbook
...when u say manually can i do this directly from my phone or do i need to connect it to a computer?

You must connect it to PC..And then go to fastboot and flash boot.img file..Then you will have signal,wifi etc..

its not being recognised as a device since i flashed the *cyanogen mod stable rom*...i plugged it to my computer though, and put it into fastboot and it says FASTBOOT USB...the options it gives me from here are
HBOOT
REBOOT

POWER DOWN

Here is guide how to use ADB on macbook:

yep fastboot oem lock

Then it might be easier to flash the 3.14.401 firmware to upgrade the hboot to 1.39. Then you can flash any rom you want, and there is also a ruu for that. Sorry i have no time to explain now (heading home from work)
Look for the firmware placeholder thread, read the instructions and download the 3.14.401 firmware.zip from there.

i already had the ota 3.14.401 and got the firmware.zip from there.
its installed fine and i now can put most roms onto it.
:victory: thank you Mr Hofs
So i get this right in my head. The phones firmware.zip needed updated so it would update hboot and other things.
Now to flash roms is the procedure to flash the boot.img contained inside first then install the rom <----which is they way ive being doing it

wi-fi not working on M8

Hello,
I want to buy a second hand HTC M8 and it has a issue with wi-fi.. it won't turn on or connect to wi-fi. from the screen shots i see that it has network (3g network). the guy selling the m8 says that a friend of his tried to put a custom rom on the phone and after that the wifi stopped working. here are the printscreens send by him. could you tell me if i can repair it myself or it is the wi-fi chip damaged.

Wifi doesn't work because the ROM is 4.4.4 but device is still 4.4.2
(can see this from the baseband version)
You can easily fix this by put in correct ROM version

can it be done without s-off? with a ruu.exe?

This s the bootloader

No need S-Off.
Get info on fastboot getvar all for this device then we will know whether to use RUU or stock backup

i'll buy it tonight and after that we'll be talking here hope for the best. thanks guys.

You better remove the 3rd pic where it shows the IMEI no. & Serial No. Those are sensitive data.
Anyway ... checked your IMEI, it is a EU version, so there is a RUU available which you can directly update it to the latest Lollipop version 4.16.401.10

thanks. will remove those pictures. i will but it tonight.

Is it for a good price due to WiFi not working? If so, the devil on my right shoulder says it serves them right for modding the phone without doing the proper research! Or researching properly to (easily) fix the problem, for that matter.

the price is ok. my old htc m7 + 100 euro

Help me to get it stock please !!

Remove serial no. in your post
I'll write simple guide on how to get back on stock and update to the latest lollipop when I'm home in next 3 - 4 hrs (if no one attend to this yet)

i see that the phone has Vodap001 CID but the soft on it (rooted one) is for the HTC_00x CID.. problem? i have got a stock backup, unzipped it, putted in TWRP backup folder, now i restore it and after that flash the stock recovery?? is that all?

It's a Vodafone UK M8, but still easy restored to stock
To be honest, I'd get it back to 1.54.161.x using the backups @ckpv5 will post, S-OFF with Sunshine and then convert it to the unbranded handset using the 4.16.401.10 RUU (using the guide in my signature)

skirmish please .. one m7 i could do it with no problem but this guy kills me

Can't write proper guide as I'm driving....
Follow this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59034701&postcount=4
But don't use that 3.29.161.9, you need to restore 1.54.161.10 and its recovery then proceed multiple OTA up to lollipop 4.19.161.2
You can get the needed files here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58606328&postcount=4278
Note : if you have plan to S-Off your device, do it after restore 1.54.161.10
if you want to keep it S-On, just proceed OTA. Later you can install any custom lollipop ROM if you want to

you could follow my guide on the viperone thread , steps 1 to 6 would get you onto stock android lollipop with a stock recovery , just do a full setup at step 6 , my guide proceeds past this point to then install a custom recovery and a custom rom but if you stop at step 6 after setting up the phone you will be unbranded stock
hope this helps

[Q] HTC One m8 fingerprint update error

You should post your getvar all (deleting your imei number and S./N ) there is a post here but it is in german with the same problem which points to an incorrect recovery!

Being rooted or not has no bearing on OTA update.
Also, it seems that you are trying to tell the OP to root (not completely clear, with the 2 word post), when he clearly states he is already rooted.

Getvar info added!
By the way, the other guy had a different problem.
Has anyone got an idea of whats wrong?

Helllo there!
I'm making a new thread because I couldn't find anyone with the exact same problem and don't want to brick my phone or such.
Now to the problem: every time I try to update my HTC one m8 (Europe) it stops when installling and tells me this:
Code:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...

this device has htc/htc_europe/htc_m8:4.4.4/KTU84P/389838.6:user/release-keys.

The phone is rooted, the bootloader unlocked, it has the stock recovery, it's s-on and it says "software status: modified".
The only thing I can see in the error is that this nine:
Code:
htc/htc_europe/htc_m8:4.4.4/KTU84P/389838.[B][U]9[/U][/B]:user/release-keys
is a six
Code:

on mine.
I am pretty new here still, so i don't know how to fix it, and i don't want to break it.

Download and run the 3.28.401.10 RUU first (a quick search here and you'll find it), then run this one.

Wrong stock recovery image.
OTA needs stock recovery 3.28.401.9 (389838.9) or 4.16.401.10 (448934.10)
but you installed 3.28.401.6 (389838.6)
Get the right recovery image, OTA will proceed.

Okay thank you so far!
But now it comes up with a different error; It says "/system/xbin/nc has unexpected contents".
Let me tell you the whole story:
Some time ago i installed busybox, xposed and xprivacy (and luckypatcher) and used it normaly.
Then the Lollipop update came around and since it wasnt working (giving out the unexpected contend error) i thought it would be a good idea to just do a factory reset.
It didnt work afterwards either, so i went here to ask what the problem was, and i was told it was because of xposed.
However, xposed wasn't installed anymore (the app), and (i think) the newer versions installed it somewhere else, so installing and then uninstalling (the button in the app) it didnt delete the old directory. (Btw. in an last attempt i tried installing the stick recovery and got the wrong one apparently)
So yeah, i have no idea on how to fix this problem, but i would be okay with having to reset my phone.

That's expected
There are a few methods to solve your problem.
The easiest one is RUU it back to stock.
Follow this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235
You need to relock bootloader and also make a backup of your internal storage files/pic/music or whatever you like to keep.
The RUU will update your device to the latest

You don't have S-Off - that's why you need to relock bootloader
That's the only difference - read the thread thoroughly.
First step - relock bootloader with command fastboot oem lock
then follow the step 3 onwards
Also note you need to use htc_fastboot.exe not the usual fastboot.exe
Anything you need to ask, you can ask there. I believe @EddyOS will gladly help you

I believe you do know this is M8 thread and not HTC Desire 820n
But .. this is what you can do to fix your problem ...
Check for OTA as usual, download OTA then select install later.
Connect your device to PC then copy the OTA zip from internal storage\download folder to PC
Open the OTA zip with 7-zip, you'll see firmware.zip. Open firmware.zip and extract out recovery.img <--- this is the one that you need.
Boot your device to bootloader
Fastboot flash this extracted recovery.img
Reboot, check for OTA again, this time select install now
Done

I'm sorry for posting here but i did it and it's not working when i'm flashing the recovery i tooked it from the OTA it's give me error when flashing it the update is lollipop and i'm on kitkat 4.4.4
Sent from my HTC Desire 820 using XDA Free mobile app

Various problems.!

Forget this sorted it all out, now running SRom ported lollipop with sense 7 from the M9. Hboot no red text and faux locked/original/son. Super CID.
For the record, it's always a firmware/dalvic cache problem (98%)
Hi Guys so Im rooted running Android Revoluton HD ROMs on an international O2 phone S-on
I thought I would wipe the entire phone, bleach it like a PC and reinstall.
Not a problem except various elements dont work.
I installed Stock ROM (I think KitKat)
I installed ARHD 22. (Kit Kat) everything worked
I installed ARHD 34.(Jellybean Sense 6) no wifi
I installed ARDH 40.(Jellybean Sense 7) no HTC TV
I installed ARHD 41.(Jellybean Sense7) no images in Blinkfeed?
I know its probably because I wiped the misc folder but up until I did a clean wipe I could use all of these roms without a glitch.
So is it firmware?
What do I need to put back on my phone for them all to work
I am S-on at the moment and I know that isnt whats stopping these roms working.
Any suggestions?

It's firmware. You most probably have kitkat firmware and lolipop based roms will mess up your wifi and stuff. Take an ota or stay on kitkat.

Thanks will try
Do I just flash the zip file?
Im sure I probs do

If you are S-ON don't flash firmware. Just don't. You can flash rom zips, recoveries, kernels. You can write on these partitions with s-on: recovery, boot, system and data.

I've just used Sunshine to get S-off, what a joy to use!
So now I can just flash them right?
I've got my cid number matched it up with the ota and bingo?
Right?

well im come from HTC One M7, and as long as the M8 is pretty much the same, you dont need s-off to flash the same firmware which your already on, or the next one step up, after all, this is exactly what an OTA does for you.
However, now your s-off anyway, you canflash any RUU or firmware you like, just make sure cid and mid match first. :good:
EDIT: there ia also no need to lock or re-lock the bootloader to flash anything now that your S-off, leave it unlocked all the time for everything, its a common problem on the M7 forums at the moment, people who are s-off or even s-on, locking bootloaders with custom rom's or recovery's on thier phones.

Thanks, so with the ota there are two for O2 my cid is O2___001 am I right that I can take the 001 OR the 002?

in all honesty, I would of thought the CID 001 and 002 were in the same ota, have you checked the android-info.txt file within the OTA itself, its just a zip file.
possible to post your fastboot getvar all without imei and serial number please, also a link to the OTA's your downloading would be good.

Well I've just tried to flash both....I enter recovery instal zip right?
It's giving me an error.
Will tell you that info in a minute when I get on my pc

personnaly, if your just trying to get to Lollipop, I would change my CID to HTC__001 (thats 2 underscores, CID is always 8 digits)
Change MID if required.
and then flash the WWE International Lollipop full RUU, piece of cake. http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/htc-one-m8-european-signed-ruu-0p6bimg-t2911563

But if the original isn't flashing what hope have I got with an HTC one. It's interesting to know though that I can change it.

Flashing an OTA manually is a different kettle of fish, its just an OTA not a full RUU, and you would still have to be full stock in order for it to succeed.
however, if you just require the firmware in order to use a custom LP rom, then just pull the firmware.zip out of the OTA and flash it.
you would then have to put a custom recovery back on your phone, copy a rom to your sdcard, and flash it from within TWRP recovery.

And im trying to flash O2 OTA

you already have the latest firmware on your phone !!!
I installed ARHD 41.( Sense7) no images in Blinkfeed? ------ pulled from your first post, this is a common problem, if you mean its face ache, there is a fix for it on playstore.

OK is tere an RUU for O2 uk?
So im extracting the firmware at the mo, then I will flash it then I will try and install ARHD 41....
Im right that the O2___002 is an upgraded version of the 001 and its what I need right?
Otherwise im just replacing like for like.

nope O2___002 is a different cid, you need to use the 001 files, however, its the same as you already have on your phone.
CID is just carrier ID, so O2___001 will be something like O2 UK and 002 might be something like O2 france, no difference in files, just different regions.

Make sure of a couple of things when flashing a custom ROM, check for problems other are having with it, by reading some of the later posts is what I always do, just a few pages, also and this is a must, read the OP's flashing instructions, so many people bypass this step, the most important step is to make sure your using the dev's recommended custom recovery for flashing.
I always full wipe before flashing anything, so in TWRP first factory reset, and then goto wipe - advanced - select everything except your internal storage and SDcard, and then always reboot back into recovery after the wipes before flashing the rom, it will nag you and say you have no OS installed, ignore it and Do Not Intall to SuperSU, the custom rom flash will do that for you.
During the rom installation, again I always select full wipe when given the option, you then know you have a clean slate to build the rom on.

Your firmware is already current, and should work with latest ARHD. Blinkfeed not showing image is a known issue reported by others.
No need to mess with RUUs or firmware zips.
