[Q] ok to install custom rom on hbbot 0.95.000?

just got a used htc one x optus branded australia, on cid optus001, hboot 0.95.000.
Its currently on ICS and want to update to JB. There is an Optus update to JB available but didnt want to update just in case i needed to be on a lower hbot for some reason
anyway i have read and read and read but its a bit overwhelming. I have rooted and installed cwm and want to flash ARHD Rom.
Here is the question:
THere seem to be a lot of issues with CID, im on CID: Optus001.
Can i just update to the official Optus JB Rom via OTA, then flash ARHD via recovery? or have i missed something?
any help in the right direction is appreciated

Yes if you want to run the latest JB roms you need to update your hboot first ! Is the phone full stock atm ?
You need to be on stock rom, kernel and recovery to be able to update. So if you are, please update.
After you updated you flash a custom recovery and make a NANDROID BACKUP of the stock rom (you need it to be able to update in the future)
Then you can install any rom out here

thanks so much for the quick reply
Yes im on full stock ICS, but custom recovery, can i update now to stock JB and i suppose it will update the hboot too?
If i can flash any rom i want whats the big deal about correct cid?

You need to flash back the stock recovery first. A custom rom is not related to any cid. That's why you can use them all
What's your main version number
Fastboot getvar version-main
I can provide you the stock recovery when i have that number.
Or look in the settings menu - about for the info i need.
It probably starts with 1.28.***.** or 1.29.***.**

If the rest is full stock it should all go well

great thanks but now i have no wifi and no phone signal when i installed ARHD
Ill search and see what i can find

You updated the phone to JB ? Flashed back a custom recovery ? Made a nandoid backup of the stock rom ?
When you installed the new rom, did you perform a full wipe before installing it ? And did you flash the boot.img from the new rom ?

worked when flashing the boot.img
thanks once again, now just cant get bloody MMS texts to work even though i have input teh correct apn settings
thanks once again

Hmm don't know much about mms on that rom, i never used the rom and also never used mms

help with updating :(

Hello there, although Im not really a noob when it comes to flashing phones, I have rooted etc this phone but got a problem.....
If i flash a rom with 2.22.401.5 and similar 2.22 roms, they flash correctly, but on bootup, take about 5 minutes to boot into phone, so at the moment, im using 1.54.401.10 earlier version of insert coin rom, I got no idea how to flash the firmware to upgrade it, so need your help!!!!!
by the way, i am unable to s-off with firewater because my phone been patched, it says
thank you any help received

Two method as option :
1. Restore the stock backup and do OTA update to 4.4.3 then you can flash 4.4.3 sense based ROM.
2. When your target is to flash a custom ROM based on 4.4.3; you don't really need all those going back to stock and apply OTA stuff.
What you need is flash the untouched 4.4.3 firmware of your device version then install ROM
So ... what is your device current firmware (not software version) ?
To flash an untouched firmware, you don't need S-Off

im on 4.4.2 and my cid thing is ORANG001 , baseban 1.17.2133156 etc, build number 1.54.401 cl325784 release keys

Your build number is not 1.54.401 that's the custom rom talking. Your official build number is different. Check my thread and look for the cid and check the accompanied main number

its orang001 1.54.61.5

Yeah.....correct.

but dunno what to do next lol

ckpv5 already told you what to do next. Restore a backup for your device and do the OTA to 4.4.3
COLLECTION of Stock backup's
Head over to Mr Hofs thread linked above in the section for stock backups there is ORANG001 1.54.61.5 both TWRP and Philz version for whichever you prefer to use.
Download the backup and unpack the .zip file into the backup directory on your device, this information you can find in post 2 on the same thread(Collection of stock backups...) Restore your backup.
Flash the stock recovery, this too you can find in post 1 in the recovery section 1.54.61.5. Flash it with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img The command/info is also on post 1 in same thread.
Reboot the device once back to stock, OTA notification will appear, do the OTA and you're set :good:

Now that's what i call.......

[Q] HTC M8 international/latin stock recovery

So long story short I screwed up.
Flashed a custom recovery and didn't backed up the stock one, I already tried checking several threads with the nandroid backups and recoveries but not the one for my device.
my cid HTC_332
mid 0P6B16000
software 1.12.599.20
s-on, thanks in advance.

Doesn't appear to be one. I'd S-OFF your device and then just flash the unbranded Developer Edition RUU instead as I don't think there have been any updates for your version

I never expect some people are still on 1.x version. I removed all my nandroid backups for 1.x
Guess I need to reupload all 1.x bakups again :crying:
You can use 1.57.599.1 backup and then update all the way to the latest lollipop version 4.20.599.3 (1.57.599.1 --> 2.25.599.1 --> 3.36.599.2 --> 4.20.599.3)
If you still runs the stock 1.12.599.20 but don't have the stock recovery, what you can do is download the OTA but select install later, copy the OTA zip to PC. Open the OTA zip with 7-zip, open firmware.zip, extract out the recovery.img <--- use this recovery.img to proceed OTA installation

Also another question, in order to install otas I need to lock my bootloader and remove root, right?
Since I'm s-on.

No, not correct. There is no need to lock bootloader for OTA.
OTA will remove root.

Nandroid Backup Needed

Hello guys,does anyone have a 3.29.166.9 twrp backup? Or a m8 with cid-vodap110 so he or she can make a fresh nandroid backup so i can go back to stock. I tried x.x.161.x backups but they don't work with cid-vodap110. Vodap110 is specific cid for Swisscom ch. Thanks in advance

No one has it?

Why don't you contact the other guy that already updated to 4.xx.166.x
Ask him for system part only. Then you can use it to update by flashing firmware first.
(I have the firmware but no backup)
Are you running a rooted/modified stock ROM now ? If yes, you can backup that and upload for me.. I will try to fix the error.
If you're running a custom ROM, you can flash the updated firmware and then install a lollipop custom ROM ... this can be done too.

I'm running a 4.16.401.10 stock firmware,and it works great even if it's not for my cid,but i would like to have official ota and for that i need stock firmware. I contacted many users with .166 firmwares but no one want's to make a backup :/

You don't run 4.16.401.10 stock firmware but you run a stock 4.16.410.10 ROM.
You can flash your stock firmware 4.19.166.2 then run 4.16.401.10 .. at least you can have a lollipop firmware running a lollipop software.

Need to totally factory start my HTC ONE M8
Hi guys, i really hope you can help me here.
I have a HTC ONE M8. It is a UK version on EE carrier. the CID is ORANG001. in fast boot it is blank next to OS- (don't know if tyhat matters at this point) I have S-Off through SUNSHINE. I have no oringinal back up. I have tried flashing the recovery found in my OTA updtate and several others that say they should work in various other threads, all through ADB Fastboot says it sends and writes ok but has no effect.
I have unrooted, factory booted, and am at the end of my tether. EE will not replace the handset if it is tampered and i really dont want to have to pay for a totally new one.

Personally, I would flash a near stock ROM like MaximusHD. If you go back to actual stock, and downgrade, you will get notifications for software updates all the time.

You'll need the nandroid. You won't be able to run a Kit-Kat ROM with the old firmware. Plus you won't get the updates without the older ROM. Flash them all, then take the OTAs up until 4.4.4.

No. You flash the nandroid by putting it into your TWRP backup folder, then restoring.
The firmware is flashed either through ADB/fastboot, or by renaming it to 0P6BIMG.zip, placing it onto the root of your extSD, and entering hboot.
The prompts will direct you (vol up to flash, power button to reboot.) That only will work with a firmware zip though. Not an .exe

Truthfully, I am unsure. I know what to do when you upgrade. Firmware first, then ROM (in this case nandroid). I don't know if it will really matter or not. Like I said, I am unfamiliar with reverting.
If it was me (once again, I haven't done this ~ It's just what I would try if it was me, from my thoughts about the process), I would do the opposite. Restore the nandroid first, then flash the older firmware.

1: flash the firmware twice in a row.....yes TWICE
2: Go into the bootloader and check the OS version number. If its downgraded to 1.54 its oke
3: flash the recovery which the nandroid backup is made with (probably a 2.7 based TWRP) and then RESTORE the nandroid backup from inside the CUSTOM recovery.
4: reboot
