[Q] SkyDragon 5.0.1 firmware

Hi all,
Currently I'm running Viper 1.8.0 ( Android 4.4.2 ) as you can see I'm behind my update schedule.
I'd love to give LP a try but in the SkyDragon thread I can see that i should check my firmware before upgrading to ensure WiFi is working.
Now the problem is that when i want to check my firmware there are no numbers so I have no clue what to update to.
Could anyone push me into the right direction to ensure a smooth upgrade ?
Other specs when booting into bootloader
- Tampered
- Unlocked
- M8_UL
- S-ON
- OS- [ This line is empty ]

Its a bit confusing, but OS or software number will actually not tell you the firmware number. The OS numbers will just tell you what software build the ROM was based off of, and will change if you flash the ROM.
To check firmware, look at hboot and radio number and post those here.
But essentially:
hboot 3.16 = 1.x firmware
hboot 3.17 = 2.x firmware
hboot 3.19 = 3.x firmware; and also 4.x (not many of those have OTA'ed yet)

Hi, excuse me for my late response.
My HBoot is 3.16. Beneath is an output of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Code:

Actually i frankly do not mind what rom I should take next as long as its a 'stable' 5.0.x version.
Also right now I'm still running Venom 1.8.0 on 4.4.2.
I read about sunshine and S-OFF the device but I was thinking about reverting to stock and OTA updating.
Or should I proceed otherwise.
Thanks in advance !

If you want to run Lollipop Sense, you need Lollipop firmware. Has Lollipop OTA started rolling out for your version yet? Far as I know, only the Dev Edition have gotten it, in addition to some Euro versions (just started rolling out yesterday).
If your version hasn't gotten the LP OTA yet, you either need to wait or s-off and update the firmware "manually".

And what if I dont care about Sense, would i be update without changing my firmware ?
Also the only 'working' method I read about is Sunshine or does firewater still work ? I'm a bit careful because of the risks involved.
Any idea what would be my next step ? And what ROM should I keep as a backup, since I dont have a copy of Venom 1.8.0
Thanks in advance,

Or would I be able to grab a 'factory' ROM for my device and let it update OTA, at least so I'm off my current ROM.

If the intent is to install Skydragon GPE, you need 4.4.4 firmware, as it states right in Post #2 of the Skydragon thread.
Your current firmware is very old. There aren't many (if any) current ROMs that it will support. You need to update firmware one way or another.

Sunshine is the only way to s-off. Firewater was discontinued in December.

Yes, this will get you on whatever current firmware your carrier version has had released.
You need the stock ROM and the stock recovery for your CID, in order for OTA to install. Root and unlocked bootloader are okay to OTA.

Thanks again for your help, When i check this thread I can't seem to find any numbers matching mine. So what image and recovery am I going to flash ?

Also : Firewater is discontinued in December, but my rom is in a state way before that. A reason to get my hopes up ? Also any risk in trying ?
Thanks in advance

hboot 3.16 means you are on 1.x firmware (and 1.x software before you flashed custom ROM). Which one from there is anyone's guess (1.12 or 1.54). I'd guess to try the more recent 1.x ROM, or 1.54.161.10.

Nope, absolutely no reason to get your hopes up. Firewater was an online service, so it will not work anymore.
When I said it was discontinued, I meant it. If there was a reason to think it would work, I would have said so.

There's a button for that.

How can I confirm this ? The only one I found was 1.54.401.5 as build number That'd be my firmware ?
Oh but the stock ROM doesn't have to match my current build number, so with 1.54.161.10 for VODAP102 i'd be good right ?

[Q] Wondering...

I know i need to pay for sunshine to get S-Off,i'm considering doing it sometime soon,but just asking,would firewater work if i flashed rom to earlier version of android,like 4.4.0 or so? Also would it need to be official or could costume rom work too? Sorry for another annoying S-Off question. :angel:

No does not work.

It is annoying, since the exact same question was already asked (and answered) twice yesterday (and also easy to search and look for besides that) if you just scroll down on the first page of threads. It looks like you are new to XDA. But it would be your benefit to know that most every question you can think of about this device has already been posted, and the knowledge easily obtainable by just looking/searching. Only after doing your due diligence to search (and not finding anything) should you start a new thread.
Also, flashing different ROMs won't enable old s-off exploits that have since been patched by HTC. It doesn't work that way, HTC is not that stupid. The key is in hboot (not the ROM which can be easily changed) which cannot be "downgraded" unless you have s-off already.
In any case, firewater was an online service, so it doesn't work no matter what version hboot you have, since the dev stopped supporting firewater.

Alright,thanks,sorry for late reply. I've been going around xda forum and i saw that for some roms it says it requiers either htc dev unlocked or s-off. I can unlock phone with htc dev,does that mean i dont need s-off to flash rom,kernel and firmware?

You'll need S-Off to flash firmware. But there are other ways to update without flashing a firmware.zip, usually by going back to stock ROM and recovery, and taking the OTAs provided by your carrier or by running an RUU.

RUU stands for ROM Update Utility. So yes, since it's purpose is to update, it should be higher than your current firmware.
Error 130 is because you aren't running the right RUU.
Get into fastboot and do fastboot getvar all, then post the readout here minus your serial# and IMEI. I'll link you to the proper RUU.

Wait. Dual sim? And I missed it anyways. lol. Hung over and just smoked a joint.
You'll have to change your MID as well.
You can find out how here.
I'm guessing this will work only, because I am unfamiliar with the dual sim. But since you are already running WWE firmware on your device, I think it will.

Then you'll probably have to go back to stock to update via OTAs.
Go to this thread, and do a search for what it says in your version-main for a stock ROM backup (if you don't have one that you made yourself) and also for the stock recovery.

I have stock ROM backup for version 4.4.3, but when i tried to update it just sent me into twrp,and i tried to install OTA from there but it just sent me some error. Do you suggest i move to 4.4.3,get stock recovery and then do OTAs? Also closest numbers to my main version in that thread are 3.32 and 3.34 for both ROM and recovery,if this doesn't work which one should i get?

[Q] Stuck in Bootloader and Signature Error 132 in RUU

I have been trying to upgrade my phones Firmware, but it has given me some difficulties.
First off I could not get a Recovery Mod to work, I tried to flash both CWM and TWRP but both would only go to a black screen.
I live in New Zealand, and I bought my One X a while back. It seems to have HBOOT 1.25.0002 and I thought this was somehow preventing me from getting a recovery, so I did something stupid. I misinterpreted the Cyanogen wiki page and flashed the boot.img from their zip file. Woops.
Now my phone is stuck in the bootloader, so all is not yet lost.
I tried to find an RUU to restore the stock firmware, but I'm not sure the correct one to get. The first I tried gave me Signature Error 132.
Here is the phone version from fastboot getvar:
version: 0.5
version-bootloader: 1.25.0002
version-baseband: 1.15.40.04
version-cpld: None
version-microp: None
version-main: 2.22.707.8
version-misc: PVT SHIP S-ON
What version of RUU should I be looking for to restore my phone? None of the ones available seem to match up with this version number. Also, is there a way I can update the HBOOT version at the same time so I can install cyanogen?
Thanks in advance!

are you sure your cid is proper if it is then the post should contain it either in the listed one or in the missing one ...just confirm once again your cid

What do you mean? How would I know if the CID is incorrect? The post doesn't seem to list this CID anywhere.

As far as I know there is no RUU you could use unless you are S-OFF. But maybe llabtoofers RUU service can help you out.

Lineage & Rooted HTC 10 - Cellular/LTE Radio broken

Hi All,
Here's hoping someone can help as I've made no progress in solving this issue in the past few hours.
So some background, I've installed TWRP on my HTC and have been using Lineage OS. I unlocked the bootloader via HTC dev, it is still S-ON. All has been well until recently when I decided I'd like to try out the stock rom again - mostly I wanted the HTC camera features back. So I downloaded the TWRP backup for my phone from XDA (CID: HTC_039). I run the restore via TWRP but it will not boot, so I followed the rest of the guide and flashed the stock recovery then relocked the bootloader. But to no avail... now it's in a very quick boot loop.... Managed to get out of it and unlock the bootloader again and flash TWRP once more.
So at this point I'm happy to return to Lineage with the backup I made before starting. But after restoring my pin doesn't work... so I followed another guide and deleted some files in TWRP which solved it. But I can't get any signal now. Apparently this is an encryption issue. I've also tried 'format data' in TWRP which apparently removes encryption. But following this installing lineage OS from zip or restoring stock or lineage results in the same error.
I'm just about at my wits end... I'd be super grateful for any input
Thankyou

Hope fully not to soon to *bump*
I have no idea what to do, surely someone know more about this than I do?

You can go by your software version. Do
fastboot getvar all
from download mode and you'll know what yours is. You can only flash a version that's same or higher than your current one.

No worries, Thanks for your help! I might try viper rom and see If I can run sunshine on that...
Hopefully not screwed, hardware should all still be fine in any case. Hopefully someone else can chime in with some ideas??

Happy days!!
Installing Team Venoms Viper ROM Fixed it. Good ROM too. It also remained working when Lineage OS was installed again.
It seemed to reenable encryption - I'm being prompted once more to enter my password in TWRP
Hopefully this helps anyone who might find themselves in the same situation
