[Q] How do you get RUU for HTC (One X) phones?

Hi,
I want to know how you get RUU for HTC (I have HTC One X.) phones. I ask because I want to update my phone to JB but I don't want root. I know that's now unavailable, but where you get it when it'll be available? Is then possible to update phone via OTA? Thank you!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604
And next time, please post questions in the Q&A, ok ?

Sorry
I'll post it next time to Q&A. I swear . However can you answer my questions?

He has, with a link to the thread with the available RUU's. Once a RUU has been installed then yes you can receive OTA's.

Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot. So I have last question - If I install older RUU, will it show me the OTA for JB and will I be able to update it without errors?

You will only get the JB update notification when it is available for your CID regardless of whether you RUU your phone. If you are completely stock now, installing the RUU will not speed up the OTA process for you.

Thanks again
Thank's a lot (my CID_32 got 2 hours ago JB.)

In which case, if you are stock/non rooted then you should receive it shortly

I rooted my phone and i want to get back to stock. (no just for JB update)

Ah I see, I thought you meant you were already unrooted. In that case then the RUU will be of use to you. Make sure you download the correct one for you CID/region from the link above

received ota update and rooted

I received a 1.25 mb ota update but I am rooted can I install this safely without messing up my htc one x it is unbranded

I think it's a OTA for preparing your phone to get the JB upgrade, I downloaded the same update, but for forcing JB update, only to see what's inside and it had 1.25 mb.

nr 502...

Where abouts did the OP Mention JB??? Seemed like a legit question to me. Don't be so quick to jump on people's backs man

flash stock recovery.

And use a search button.....and post in the right part of the forum ! This is the general, you belong in the Q&A part with these things. And yes there are numerous posts like this with the exact same question ..... we keep on repeating ourselves for ages in here ..... and so it is !

No problem make the update

I think I heard somewhere that if you are rooted and you do get an OTA and install it then the update will re-lock your HOX and you'll need to root again...
I could be wrong

It doesn't relock the device, it just removes the root, you can apply the root easily after the update !

Is there a way to get the HTC One M8 back to 100% stock?

Hey guys I rooted my HTC One M8 a few days ago. But is there any way to get it to 100% stock again? If not, will it be available in the near future? Thanks.

Not yet. There's no 100% stock rom out, nor is there an RUU available.
That's what you'd want to wait for, since the RUU is a complete stock rom. No ETA on that unfortunately.
Good luck!

And when the RUU is available for the T-Mobile variant, how do I know? Will it be on Android Development?

There's a thread with stock backup ROM. You can restore that and flash a stock recovery after.

And can I restore that backup if I ran the GPE RUU? Or do I have to wait until the stock RUU gets released?

Look in that same thread where you did the gpe ruu. Post 2 has instructions on how to get back to sense. The two have different partitions so you can't simply flash a sense ROM after running gpe full conversion

Lollipop rolling out now

According to a tweet by @llabtofer, lollipop is rolling out for Taiwan useres. Android version is 5.0.2 and unfortunately the update doesn't include sense 7 which will be available for our device but with Android 5.1.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B21aRK6c7mFWRTJ5OGpoS0cxdUU/edit?usp=docslist_api
I'll go back to stock for a couple of days to get the official update as soon as it gets released for my CID.

Can anyone upload lollipop rom??
I am not able to update from update notification. I think this is the reason that I restored my phone which was bricked from stock twrp stck backup. In order to update lollipop, I restored the stock kernel and recovery but it doesn't work. There is no way except someone upload backup or skydragon rom. :crying::crying:

Hopefully someone can capture the ota and upload it!

Did it download the file and just not let you flash it? If so could you pull the ota file and upload it?

I just got it now in Cambodia.

Thanks a ton bro,
How did you manage to get back to stock? You have a locked boot loader or unlocked or relocked? And you never rooted your device?

The ota you gave me is an vietnam one because it has viettel bloatware in the app folder?
Sent from my HTC Desire EYE using XDA Free mobile app

To go back to stock I restored my First nandroid and then flashed stock recovery which I took from the ota zip.
Bootloader is unlocked, rom is unrooted because I made the backup as soon as I installed TWRP and before rooting.
You might want to double Check what you say in your second post because my device is unlocked and I don't see any viettel stuff in it. CID is HTC_044.

Clean install - RUU vs OTA [SOLVED (thanks!)]

The latest M9 RUU has arrived for the developer/unlocked editions. I imagine many of us accepted the OTA so we don't really need it. But I'm noticing some odd behaviors on my phone and am considering a clean install via RUU. Would an RUU be a cleaner install than 5.01 and then the OTA?
Peace,
Computerslayer

If you are having issues after the OTA update then I personally would RUU or do a factory reset.
Factory reset would be the fastest way

I believe factory reset only wipes the data partition, so the ruu method will give you a cleaner install but it will wipe your internal storage, so make sure to back everything up first.

It sounds like the RUU is the cleanest way. Thanks for the help!

disregard. everything went well. i also RUU'ed for a clean restore

Hi guys ,

Are you S-off? To install this you'll need to change cid and probably mid.
