Hey everyone, I'm having trouble completely understanding the process of installing a custom operating system on my phone.* There's already one custom OS installed which was on there when I got the phone from a friend.* It's running Android HD Revolution, but when my friend installed that OS the wifi on the phone stopped working.* I'm confident it's just a software problem, but I need some help getting started on this.* I want to install ViperOneM8
This phone is already rooted, and the android version is 4.4.4.* What firmware do I need to be running in order to install that ROM?* How do I know what firmware I'm currently using?*
Thanks in advance,*
HTC User

A few months ago when I got the update notification I chose not to update at the time and got rid of the update file. I have decided to update my android version (still stuck on 2.3.6) but how do I go about doing so? Also, can i leave my phone rooted and running the current rom+mod when I update my android version? If not - what do I do so that i can update without ruining my phone? Also would I be able to flash roms made for different android versions than the one I have?
Thanks for the help guys.
DEVICE HTC one X
Android version 4.1.1
HTC Sense 4+
Hello XDA World,
Wonder if someone can help me. Recently I tried to install a custom ROM of KitKat on to my android device. It got stuck in a bootloop and did not work. with restoring my backup somehow got curruptted or I made a mistake along the way and got a new handset.
The problem I got is this, with my new handset its running the software noted above. However, when I had my old handset it was running 4.2.2 and sense 5. If I do a check software updates its says my phone is up to date. If i go to HTC dev site they say 4.1.1 is the latest I can have, but other networks have 4.2.2.
If I install one assigned to another network, would affect my phone and network connection?
On a side note is there any other recomment custom ROM's to get a newer version of Android that would work on a HTC oneX.
Many Thanks for any help possible
Hi guys I could use your help
I recently rooted my UK ee m8 successfully by the way, so I went ahead and flashed my first Rom also successfully, however I have gone and made the biggest rookie mistake and did not backup my stock rom, how do I get a stock backup without actually having one ?
I ask as the 5.0 update is almost upon us and would like to try it on a HTC firmware

Have a good read over there
Hi, first of all I want to say that I am relatively new to android and therefore only have a basic understanding of everything. My desire EYE is currently on 4.4.4 rooted and have been having problems upgrading it to 5.0, I know I have to unroot and return to stock in order to be able to flash the stock recovery and be able to then flash lollipop on there. Problem is whenever I flash one of the stock 4.4.4's found on here superuser installer is still there (even when I tell to TWRP to not install it) and when I got to the bootloader is still says that the software is Modified so am still unable to flash the stock recovery and get lollipop.
Can anybody help shed some light on this problem and possibly help me fix it?
Hi there,
I have found I was able to update using the procedure written in this topic. Could you see if that helps you?

Thanks for your reply but have already tried this and when I tried booting into the recovery menu it gave me the red triangle because I have modified system partition, and all my efforts so far to change it to official have so far been unsuccessful
In fact tried it again and it worked this time, however when I try and download the update on my phone a message pop's up saying my phone can't be updated because the software is modified and not official HTC firmware
Hi Guys,
I am back with another thread for people who want to downgrade their Android ROM for different reasons from any higher android version, like some of you getting problem with new O.S, some of you might not like the new O.S and as in my case my new o.s marshmallow got crashed/currupted.
As in my case when my new updated O.S 6.0 Marshmallow got crashed, then no way was left to me but to reinstall 6.0 M on my phone, but as stock ROM of marshmalow for HTC Desire 816 dual sim A5_dwg indian version was not available on any portal online, so i need to rollback to any lower version android like kitkat or lollipop.
As you guys must know that if your phone is running on higher android O.S then it doesn't matter whether its corrupted or showing errors, you can't rollback/downgrade to any lower version android.
For finding way to get out of this problem, i am sharing some steps which i followed to rollback my phone to lower android version.
Step 1: First of all please make ready your computer by installing ADB drivers, fastboot utility and drivers for your phone.
Step 2: As i have already made clear that you can't roll back to lower android version from higher one so for doing that you need to unlock your phone's bootloader , ROOT your phone by following this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775801 and install any custom recovery available like CWM or TWRP, i personally prefer TWRP.
IMPORTANT Note: For users who have rooted and un-rooted their phones in past, updated stock ROM to any new stock version and already having Unlock_code.bin file on their e-mail, don't try to use that file now again for unlocking your phones bootloader as it will not work, you need regenerate that unlock_code.bin file from HTC website because with updated stock ROM, code for unlocking bootloader also changes.
Step 3: Once you are done with Rooting and installing custom recovery and Super user app. now it's time to install any custom ROM like cynogenmod or any other custom rom available for you phone. For downloading and installing CM 13 follow links given https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=a5dwg
https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_a5dwg
Step 4: Once you are done with installing custom ROM CM 13 on your phone now you can start procedure to Un-Root your phone, install stock recovery and flash any lower android version stock ROM on your phone.
for unrooting and rolling back to stock rom you can follow my thread
