[Q] Flashing new ROM on my Rooted Device -HBoot 0.80

My current Specs
ROM: Leedroid v1.8c
Hboot: 0.80
Radio: 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20
Kernal: 2.6.32.15-gfc9c0527 [email protected] #1
As gingerbread ROMS are on the baking, I am planning to upgrade my ROM.
Its been a while since I did my rooting and flashing my ROM.
And with all the things i have to get right I must have forgotten a few.
Am I right in saying I will have to update both my Radio as well as the Kernel before i upgrade to another ROM as my current radio and kernel must be outdated.
If so, do i need to update just radio or kernel and in which order.
Secondly where is Hboot 0.80 standing?
I had to change my Hboot from 83 to 80 as 83 could not be rooted because of security form HTC before. I am not sure that is the case now
Can i still use 0.80 for flashing ROMS?
I can see something juicy called S-off hboot? Is it worth the hassle?
I don't mind the HTC security as long as i can flash new ROMS.
Any advice is welcome
Thank You
Edit: So sorry i thought i was in desire question section. Wrong section. Mod please move it? thank you

You just flash a ROM that takes your fancy - it'll have the kernel and everything in it. You just need to pick a radio to go with it (there will always be a recommended one in the ROM thread)

Just to clarify, I do not need to touch my Hboot ?

No u dont...

How to unroot my htc one x could you check?

I just want to go back to stock because currently having wifi issue with my phone not signal. Crashing and stuff like that. Just want to go to stock to see if it will calm down a abit. Im just confused because some guides say I need to download RUU that I had before rooting. But I think I had 1.28 not so sure.

Did you create a nandroid back up before flashing your custom Rom?

I did.. but I have formatted my sd card since then

"fastboot getvar version-main"
should give you something like this " version-main: 1.29.728.12 "
That's the string of numbers you should be looking for to match with the RUU (in my case: RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_1.29.728.12_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_261350_signed)
Notice that the tread you posted that you are going to follow begins the first line with "Due to the lack of time, I cannot update this thread as frequently as I want to, so from now on, please refer to the HTC One X - XDA Developers Wiki".
I highly recommend following the wiki, it's gold.

[Q] Worried HTC One X User

Hello everyone I just wanted to ask you guru's for some advice pretty please. I recently got a HTC One X on Vodafone in the UK for me and a SG3 for my wife and I am starting to seriously regret getting the One X because I have been having some issues and my wifes phone has been awesome.
The issues I have been having is the battery life being much worse than my old phone (Desire HD) also the phone getting warm/hot on the back at the top left.
Here are the details of my phone for reference:
HTC One X - White
Tegra 3 Quad Core Version
Vodafone UK Network
Android Version: 4.0.4
Htc Sense Version: 4.1
Software Version: 2.17.401.2
Htc SDK API Level: 4.23
HTC Extension Version: HTCExtension_403_1_GA_20
Kernel Version: 2.6.39.4-g090b42e, [email protected] #1, SMP PREEMPT
Baseband Version: 2.1204.135.20
Build Number: 2.17.401.2 CL89015 release-keys
Browser Version: Webkit/534.30
Has there been some fixes released at all? or is my phone buggered? I have thought about putting a custom rom onto the phone to hopefully fix it, is this the way to go? If it is what is the best ROM to pick up at the moment with the least amount of issues?
As I have never flashed a new ROM before I have a few questions about it:
•Can you backup your old stock ROM before you flash because I assume flashing a ROM voids the warranty
•If I flash a ROM like RENOVATE will it effect my abilty to take pictures/video and use Wi-Fi or vertain apps? As I have heard Radios and other stuff not working right or something.
•I guess I will have to root my phone before any flashing, is my software version rootable?
Sorry for so many questions I just don't want to seriously fluff up my phone, I think myself as a pretty advanced android user but ROMs and flashing is a bit scare because I dont want to end up with a brick for another 2 years.
Thanks in advance

We have 3 One Xs.
1-My Old (Dropped in water) (WWE)
2-My new (India)
3-My wife's (Korean)
Any of them doesnt have a heating problem
And battery life is better than my old phones (Desire s,sensation,gnex)

Have you updated your firmware yet?
I remember the earliest firmware 1.26 had a TERRIBLE overheating problem. Later releases pretty much fixed it.

It's not buggered mate, they are famous for geting hot when being pushed hard.
Battery life is questionable on stock. If you switch to a custom ROM, you'll generally see an improvement in battery life especially if you switch to a ROM like Cyanogenmod 10 which doesn't use sense.
You will lose Sense benefits like the excellent camera features AND if you flash a custom rom you assume warranty responsibility. Even if you flash a recovery rom, HTC will still know you've unlocked it.
All variants of the One X are rootable and there are excellent tutorials available depending on your needs.
I did it, and haven't looked back since. Cyanogenmod 10 in particular is incredible and feels so fast and fluid in comparison with stock builds.

Fixes released? - HTC has released updates, but in general we don't really know what their updates really fix
Buggered? - No
Custom ROM will fix your problems? - In my experience, yes!
Best ROM to fix your issues - Personally I'd suggest OrDroidX or ARHD ROMs (ICS).
Warranty? - Will void your warranty, but personally I think this doesn't matter that much as long as you're not a klutz
Yes your phone is rootable/flashable/whaever.
You'll probably be wondering whether to go with ICS ROMs (eg. OrDroidX) / JB ROMs (eg. CM10)
ICS:
+ better battery life (very significant - can reach 2 days with 5 hrs+ screen on time depending on kernel)
+ more stable
- performance wise it's enough, but not as fast as JB ROMs
JB:
+ extremely powerful performance
- not as stable
- battery life sucks (lasts me 16 hours - about 2 hrs screen on time)
ICS: I recommend OrdroidX
JB: I recommend SlimBean
Custom Kernels:
1. Bricked - amazing battery life, low performance
2. Faux - less battery life, great performance
3. Ncx - somewhere in the middle
All these are based on my experiences

looks like the latest to me man.
Anyway, much has been fixed as you're running the latest version atm. You can backup your current ROM before installing a custom one and flashing a custom ROM should only enhance features, not affect them negatively.

i do get heat issues when i game, thats about it.

Thank you very much for your advice guys I definitely grow some balls and install and try each of those recommended Roms. You guys awesome and thanks for all your replies

I only got "overheating" issues on stock rom (vodafone / The Netherlands), after two updates the Hox was not gettin really warm anymore.
On Renovate rom i never had any issues! It never gets to warm, and battery life is awesome. Normal use gives me more than two days of use!
So don't worrie and enjoy the Hox!

Have you read the whole OP at the Ace Root Tool thread?? It tells you what to do if your build is not supported.

There was a guide on xda - Advanced Ace Hack Kit (AAHK) but its not there now, I believe its still available on google somewhere. Thats what I use, mine only had sense 2.1 on it when I got it, and tbh I would think the guides thatvare here should work fine, its not one of the newer models, they came with sense 3 stock

Advising to use a retired tool is dangerous. the Hack Kit works flawlessly if you know what you are doing. Otherwise you might get stuck and without support you can regret it in the big way. He should use the current supported tools until he is aware of the risk he is taking.

That is just for devices running Sense 3.0. For a Sense 2.1 running Gingerbread 2.3.3 the Hack Kit should work fine with the files included in the folder. However, the risk of getting stuck is big not being aware of what the process involves.

Thanks for the information guys...
And yes, I understand.. Rooting is always a risk....
Sorry about misinterpreting my Build number..
I thought 2.3.3 worked on all these Root hacks.. But I realize now that 2.3.3 is not the build number..
Hoping to figure this out soon.. Now to start searching and doing some more reading..

This worked for me..
I know I was taking a chance.. But I only paid $30.00 for the phone and it didn't seem like a bad idea..
Found the following comment from glevitan ****** Use at your own risk *******
The Hack Kit downgrades the firmware if your OS version is above 2.3.3...and yes, the HTC update is in their site in .exe file...just run it and done!
get it here: http://dl3.htc.com/application/htc_inspire4g_att_RUU_3.20.502.52_US.exe
Worked like a charm...
Than used the Easy Ace Root Tool to seal the deal...
Now to comb the ROM's to see what I want...

[Q] Seeking Advice

Hello,
I have had my VZW M7 for about 1.5 years now and never got around to rooting it. It has been lagging quite a bit lately, so I think now is a good time to wipe it and start fresh. While I am at it, I figure I'll root and install a new ROM.
I have generally used CM on previous phones, but the last time I did this was a few years ago.
My question is: what would you recommend I use for overall stability, snappy performance, and a great UI? I have heard good things about GPE and at the moment that is the direction that I am leaning in.
Could you please point me towards threads that would get me started with the process?
Best Regards,
Glass

It depends on the current OS, bootloader, hoot versions of your phone. I'm assuming you have the latest OTA. If so Sunshine is I believe the only method to root. Post your current versions so others can help better please.
