[Q] How to update Android 4.0.4 to 4.2.2 ?

Hi today i want to update my kind of outdated htc one x.
I rooted my HOX like 3 years ago because i had it sim-locked and wanted a different provider. I unlocked it and than (i cant remember why) relocked it and now unlocked it again. Because i want to install a custom rom.
I looked for some roms and deciced i wanted to run Viper X (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087443) which runs on Android 4.2.2. I'm on Android 4.0.4 Sense 4.1 because i havent used this phone for a while.
I can't find any proper guides i tried this one : http://wccftech.com/update-htc-one-x-to-cm10-1-android-4-2-2/ but getting a error status 7.
Any help appreciated!
Oh and im only on hboot 1.12

Return to your stock rom & recovery and update first. That rom does not work on 1.12

As i already posted ! And why relock ? No need to relock at all .....
Just go into settings - about - software update menu

I am sure to update stock software you need to relock the bootloader

[Q] Updating firmware with S-On??

Hi,
How can I update my M8's firmware, when I am S-On?
I want to be able to flash the new 4.4.3 roms, but need firmware update.
Since there is no OTA with the firmware, can I maybe use the 2.12 system dump/firmware file??
Any help appreciated!

No. You can brick your phone, wait for your ota, or shell out $25 for sunshine. It says over and over must be Soff. Not trying to sound rude but don't you think they would tell you how to do it without soff if it were possible.

a similar question... i just bought my htc one m8 (GPE) and it came with 4.4.4, i tried to gain S-Off but with a Mac its an enormous pain in the ass...so after 6 hours of trying, i gave up and rooted it without s-off and flashed LiquidSmooth and it works perfectly. I still have S-On. Does this mean i can flash other 4.4.4 firmware without having to worry about bricking the phone or gaining S-off?

Being gpe you can flash any gpe or aosp Rom. You need Soff to get back to sense roms. Mac is easier than Windows btw. No drivers needed. Just adb and fastboot. Firewater may not work.

see, yeah that was my experience! i tried firewater to no avail (i got the message at the bottom saying "too bad, so sad" essentially) and the other methods i looked up werent any help either. maybe ill give it another go later if i decide to go back to Sense.
thanks for your help, i really appreciate it!

Difference between gpe and gpe

Hij guys,
I have international m8. I can't s-off my device with firewater. I am told that i can't flash a gpe ruu or rom because i dont have s-off.
I tried the sinless gpe ROM and it works fine. My question is why can't i flash other gpe roms or ruu, while i can flash sinnless gpe ROM? Whats the difference?
Thanks

some GPE roms are simply based on GPE where others actually convert your device to GPE. the conversion requires s-off as it updates your partitions. no s-off means that GPE based roms will install fine, but you can't convert.

Gpe is gpe

Try Sunshine, go with it, the $25 will be worth it in the long run.

About s off and gpe convert

Hi I own an HTC one m8 rooted and unlocked bootloader.
I have s on and I want to convert to GPE with OTA.
Is it possible? I know how to change CID because mine is now HTC__621

Its definitely possible, but you need s-off I believe.
You can try firewater, and failing that Sunshine. That's the only ways.

You cannot convert to GPE with OTA, the partitions on Sense and GPE are completely different, you need to do a full RUU for it.

Oh sorry....missed the ota part.
I was just talking to convert. ?

so just a normal convert of GPE without OTA, can be done without s - Off?

If you want to convert to GPE you need S-OFF as you're going to make changes to partition sizes. The only way you can do that is to have S-OFF, root alone does NOT give sufficient privileges to make changes to partition sizes. You'll also need S-OFF in order to change the MID(Model ID) of the phone in order to convert it.
OTA has nothing to do with it.

Dang it... If only I had s off with firewater before it got patched.
Is there any way for me to get GPE experience without flashing CM or any aosp ROM?

[Q] HTC One M8 International (Unlocked and S-Off) is not updating to 5.0.1

HTC One M8 International (Unlocked and S-Off) is not updating to 5.0.1. Please help.

Do you have the right stock recovery installed?
Did you modified the system files in any way?
Files like build.prop or platform.xml?

UniversalKID thanks for reply. I didn't make any modification in any file and how I know about the right stock recovery?

What do you mean not updating? Are you waiting for an OTA? Since you are S-Off, I'll assume you are running a custom ROM. It won't happen unless you are on stock.
But since you are S-Off, just update your firmware, and flash a Lolly ROM.

I want to use stock lolly ROM but through OTA downloaded 5.0.1 but at time of installation, I am not able to upgrade on lollipop.

S-On I suppose? For OTAs, return to stock with the instructions and downloads in this thread.

Do not tell someone to S-ON when they're not 100% certain they're stock, plus you don't need to be S-ON to update.
OP, can you get a shot of the actual error you're seeing? Up to now you've not really described the error very well

I wasn't telling him to s on, I was assuming he was s on.
I should have been more clear in my post.

Ah, OK. I can see how it can be read that way. My bad!
