Develop Bugs

I just installed the .11 OTA on an unlocked,rooted One x

I have what I believe is an International, European device. I bought it from someone who bought it in Italy. The serial begins with HT23, the software version has 401 in it, and the CID (according to CID getter) is HTC__203.
before I unlocked the bootloader through htcdev, I updated all the OTA, up to 1.29.401.7. But as you know, once I unlocked, installed CWM recovery and rooted the device, I was not able to install the new OTA (1.29.401.11). When I tried to install the zip manually, I got an error message saying, basically, that the CID is not right. It's my understanding that one you unlock the bootloader, the CID Changed to "None", although some commands WILL get you a valid CID.
For the last couple of days I lurked around the forums to see if anyone was able to come up with an idea, for installing the .11 OTA on a unlocked device.
Since I have no experience in editing the zip files I was scared ****less, but eventually I looked into the zip and found the file "updater-script" that appears to contain the condition regarding the CID.
So I remarked line 7-16 in the file, put it back into the zip, renamed it to update.zip and - presto!
The flash went on successfully!
This is my device before the installation:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and that's after:
Although the gui says that the baseband was updated, in the bootloader, the version is still the old one (1.1204.104.14).
The HBOOT too is still 0.94, not 0.95.
That's it

I've done the same thing two days ago BUT by device became dirt slow, started doing funny things and in the end I rolled it back. Using this method you cannot update the radio or hboot (that's the good part!).
You CAN flash the firmware.zip (for radio etc) via fastboot but you will need to flash the original recovery and then re-lock. Then, when you unlock again, it will reset the phone so you might as well use the RUU to begin with but if you don't want either then this method should work fine. I don't know how dependent the ROM is on the updated radio and I have had issues in the past where the two did not match.
I have since upgraded via the RUU.....and it's still doing funny things.

What kind of "funny" behavior do you get?
In the mean time, I thought that I'll do a nandroid backup, Install RUU so the radio and HBOOT will be installed, and restore the nandroid to have all my applications back.
That worked only halfways
I started the RUU with the phone in normal mode (not fastboot, no re-lock or stock recovery, no cache clear) and after a while the RUU failed. I rebooted the phone, and it still worked (phew...) and now in the bootloader, the radio is updated to 1.204.105.14 too. HBOOT is still 0.94 though.

I explain this steps in my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632662
Post here your zip

I can't upload a 14 mb file here, nor can I post external links yet.
so here is the link to dropbox, but not clickable.
dl.dropbox.com/u/52657948/onex/update.zip
bear in mind that I also remarked the part that checks the MID.
btw. In the mean time I went full RUU and reinstalled all the applications manually.

Isn't it easier to flash stock recovery, update via OTA then reflash CWM and reroot? It's safer and quicker IMO ;O

Insertcoin has the 1.29.11 inside, if your phone is rooted it's better to flash his rom then

Well, I was under the impression that it's not possible.
I didn't even try.
I'll take a shot at it on the next OTA.

For the meantime I want to stay with stock, and not install custom Roms. But eventually i guess I'll move to some other Rom.

It is possible, I updated from 1.26 to 1.28 this way The only thing OTA needs to be processed is actually stock recovery. But during update it does remove root, so you need to reroot (and to do that you need to reflash CWM of course )

But did the radio and HBOOT got updated? what does it say in the bootloader?

Of course it does update hboot and radio - it's a regular OTA.
Edit: just checked it in bootloader - hboot is 0.95 and radio is 105.14, so it's up-to-date

You also could of removed the .img files from the ruu and fastboot flash them.

Hi, @ op.
Sorry to hijack this thread but didn't want to start a new one and you might know the answer?
I have an unbranded UK HOX running EnergyRom.
If I reflash my nandroid backup, flash stock recovery and relock bootloader I can then flash the latest 1.29.401.11 RUU.
If I then re-unlock, re-flash CWM, and finally my Energyrom backup will I undo all the changes made by the update except for the new Hboot and radio?
Should I wait for the update the EnergyRom and not bother with the RUU?
Just that I am eager to try the flicker fix.
TIA

It would freeze for periods of time, and become unresponsive. I reset the whole thing again and this time did NOT restore go launcher with titanium backup and it is MUCH better now.
The RUU needs a locked phone with the original recovery.
A nandroid backs up the entire system and apps iirc. I usually just use the backup from recovery these days.

First you need to be ABLE to get the OTA over the air. Not that easy and HTC don't seem to offer an easy method to download and flash the OTA...... Pretty poor if you ask me.
The phone also needs to be locked. I'm sure I read that it failed for some guys while it was unlocked and i think I tried this myself and found that I had to relock. When you then unlock again the phone is factory reset anyway.

I didn't relock my bootloader (unlocked on 1.26) so how can you explain I got both 1.28 and 1.29 via OTA with no problems? A miracle? Just flashed stock recovery and then used OTA via WiFi.

That's good to know. Of course having a UK handset is would need to wait for the official OTA for weeks ;-), I'm still pretty sure the fastboot method needed the relock.

HTC Desire HD issue

Hi,
My boss tried to root his HTC Desire(India, Carrier unlocked) HD using this guide
When i start the phone , its stuck at HTC logo screen with white background (its still same from last 40 min)
Is there any way i can put stock ROM on this device ?
I can confirm that recovery mode is working fine..so i think phone can be brought back to its original state and not bricked. Also i am not aware which was the old version before rooting.
I tried HTC bootloader unlock and here is the error screenshot

Take a look at this thread to get back to the latest stock firmware.

Instructions should be in the thread, if you need any help get back to me. First connect the phone to PC via USB and run the RUU exe file. The phone should boot up after that. Then you can flash the rooted version of the ROM also included in the thread.

Hi guys...thanks for your links....Now i am able to boot the phone..rooted the phone with Ace Hack kit.
I have CWM working gr8....
Now, I wish to install ICS ROM on this. Can i just get this zip and put it in SD card n update the OS ?
here what i got now
Android Version : 2.3.3
Sense Version : 2.1
Baseband version : 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_m
Kernel Version : 2.6.35.10-gd2564fb [email protected]#1
Build Number : 2.37.707.3 CL56018 release-keys
Software Number : 2.37.707.3

You can flash that rom, but if it's for your boss, ask him what he wants. All ICS roms have their bugs. A few of them, the only major problem they have is no working camara.
Before flashing, make a backup of the current rom you have.

Thanks..will ask him.
Also, I think this is NOT the stock ROM. He says phone was on 2.3.6 before he tried rooting.
Now that phone is up and running (solved the issue with Ace Hack Kit) , its showing 2..3.3 ..checked for update and it says "no update available."
Tried HTCdev.com/bootloader setup but it gives error as shown in OP.
So whats the official Indian HTC ROM for DHD ? Where can i get it ?

The hack kit downgrades to make rooting possible. The point of rooting is to flash other roms.
Regarding where to get tgmhe rom, you may be able to find it on xda.... search for official ruu or something like that.
Sent from a dream.

Yes that's it. Put the zip on SD card and flash it. Before that make a nandroid backup in recovery of the current ROM, just in case you need to come back to it. It'll back up the entire phone and restore it to the current state as it is if required. Then in recovery wipe boot, system, data and cache. Also make sure the .android_secure folder on SD card is deleted.

It depends on the ROM actually. If the ROM contains a wipe script it'll wipe that folder itself. But they usually don't. Using a superwipe script like the one in the ARHD thread will wipe it too. Or in 4ext recovery there's an option called 'Wipe all partitions except sdcard' which deletes that folder too. So I don't normally delete it, but sometimes if it isn't deleted, it's going to still contain all the apps installed to SD card from the previous ROM. It won't affect a new ROM installation because those apps aren't installed on the new ROM, and if they are installed it'll just over write them, but if there are a few apps which you didn't install back in the new ROM then they would be lying in that folder redundantly and waste space.

I posted a link a few posts back. That's the latest official ROM. 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0. You flashed the older version which is 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1.
ICS ROMs have working camera and panorama but not video recording. If your boss wants it then fine, but otherwise stick to the stock 2.3.5 ROM or try CyanogenMod 7.2 RC3 where everything works. HTC will release an ICS update in July-August anyway which will have working camera (and then all the other AOSP/AOKP/Sense 4 ICS ROMs will get it working too).

[Q] HTC One remote 12 signature verify fail

Hello, I am attempting to return my HTC One to Stock and I used the revone tool but it didn't put it back to locked status. Right now im in Tampered Relocked with S-On
I have the correct RUU for my version 1.10.605.10 but when I do a fastboot oem rebootRUU of that file it gives me the remote signature error.

I'm facing a very similar issue. I have a Verizon HTC One, Bootloader is LOCKED, and S-On. Tried using the correct ruu, but from what I've read, I can't flash that decrypted ruu without s-off. Do I have a pretty paperweight now? I've tried everything I can think of.
A side note, I do not have a custom recovery or OS installed, no adb, but I can use fastboot. Thank you!

Two things about ruu.
You can only use encrypted version if s-on.
You cannot downgrade if s-on.
I suggest anyone wishing to go back to stock switch their s flag to on as the very last step.
I have a copy of the encrypted .10 ruu if you are currently on that firmware.
What does your boot loader screen say?

Yeah I actually found an encrypted or signed .10 online and flashed it using fastboot. I had a Locked bootloader and S-on, so this really came at a good time. There was no OS on the phone and I only had access to fastboot. Thankfully I fixed it with this RUU.
If anyone needs the 2.10.605.1 ruu, here's exactly where I got it from (just fix the URL, I'm obviously a new user and can't post links):

Downloaded that and flashed it via Terminal on OS X. Worked PERFECT. I'm so glad these forums are here as they helped me find this solution. Thanks!

You need an encrypted ruu that is newer than what you have. Unfortunately, the newest is the only one I have. You cannot flash it via fastboot anymore either as attempting to will give you the same signature error. You must use the exe I have posted here. I repeat, you cannot flash this zip using any other method.

[Q] Basic Questions

Hi Everyone,
I just got new HTC One M8. CID_044
A great update from my old HTC One SV.
There's a few basic questions I would like to ask.
I've already rooted my phone with HtcDev and Installed TWRP 2.7. But not S-Off. Firewater does not work on mine.
Gives an error saying HTC has Patched the phone.
I would like to know what is my Firmware Version. How can I check that?
My phone is currently using Customer AndroidHD 10.2 Rom.
But it's quite annoying to see it has long reboot/missing bootanimation etc.
I heard that S-Off can solve these issues as I need to flash the latest 2.22 Firmware.
I tried to use the BASE collection to revert back to my Original Rom (My fault for not making a backup) and download the HTC Updates first to try Firewater again.
Hope anyone can help me.
Thanks

If I understand what you are asking you can check your firmware with the command:
adb getvar version-main
Another way to find this, especially on the htc one m8 is in the about settings.
Hope this helps, gl with everything!

If firewater didn't work the First time I'd guess it won't after an Update.
Only way to S-Off if firewater doesn't work ist SunShine S-Off which costs 25$. But you have to be on rooted stock ROM for SunShine to work.

You don't have to be rooted for sunshine to work. (Did it yesterday from fully stock). I believe you only have to have a stock kernel for it to work. Try installing MaximusHD rom as I've heard its worked for people on that particular rom.

Okay
Can I do this.
Flash 2.22.401.3 by editing the Adroind-info.txt to include my CID_044?
Would that make it possible to flash?
Are there any drawbacks to this?

1. You have CID HTC__044 means your current stock software version is 1.54.707.3
2. You don't need S-Off to update to firmware 2.22.707.3
3. Once you update to 2.22.707.3 - you'll solve the long boot time problem, not only on ARHD but on every Sense custom ROM based on 4.4.3
What you need to do now :
1. Restore the 1.54.707.7 backup - download from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51532764&postcount=1
You should find 1.54.707.7 - TWRP Thanks to konanda
2. Flash stock recovery for 1.54.707.7 that I posted here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53999215&postcount=1113
(note : no need to relock bootloader ... leave it as it is
3. Reboot and check for update
4. Install the update after you receive the notification
5. Flash TWRP again - advise that you use a fixed version or you can use the one in my sig.
6. Done ... now you're on 2.22 firmware ... any Sense custom ROM will work flawlessly
(it is NOT necessary to have 2.22.401 firmware, 2.22.707.3 is good enough and it has proper radio for our region)
AFAIK firewater works for CID HTC__044 device that come preloaded with 1.12.707.18 & 1.54.707.5 but not working with preloaded 1.54.707.7 like yours and mine ... the only option is SunShine

titanmmilton said:
Okay
Can I do this.
Flash 2.22.401.3 by editing the Adroind-info.txt to include my CID_044?
Would that make it possible to flash?
Are there any drawbacks to this?

You think that MaximumHD Rom might actually do the trick?
S-Off with Firewater possible?
I'm trying to figure out how to flash my firmware to the WWE One.

MaximusHD should work only for Sunshine S-Off. If Firewater didn't work first time round it probably won't work now.
For me sunshine automatically temp rooted my phone to gain S-off. This has only been possible since the new version so maybe your using an old one? Who knows.

ckpv5 said:
1. You have CID HTC__044 means your current stock software version is 1.54.707.3
2. You don't need S-Off to update to firmware 2.22.707.3
3. Once you update to 2.22.707.3 - you'll solve the long boot time problem, not only on ARHD but on every Sense custom ROM based on 4.4.3
What you need to do now :
1. Restore the 1.54.707.7 backup - download from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51532764&postcount=1
You should find 1.54.707.7 - TWRP Thanks to konanda
2. Flash stock recovery for 1.54.707.7 that I posted here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53999215&postcount=1113
(note : no need to relock bootloader ... leave it as it is

This is basic mate ... you don't flash the zip. Extract the zip on your PC and put/transfer the folder to your sdcard or externalSD where you see TWRP/BACKUPS/yourdeviceserialno/FOLDER HERE

Hah! I thought so. I was wondering why wouldn't it work.
To be honest, it isn't my first RODEO as I've already had DHD, Sensation, and One SV.
Only thing is, I don't do it too often. So I forget. Haha... Let me give it a try.

Did you unzip and put the ROM TWRP backup in /TWRR/Backups/H*******/ as it belongs there. And in TWRP you then have to tap Restore choose the above downloaded and copied backup and give it a go. Just asking to be sure about what you did exactly.
Hit "Thanks" if I was if any help.

That's stock recovery .. no need to select recovery on bootloader
Assuming you already restore the backup and install the stock recovery, just reboot and do the OTA checking and updating.
To go out from recovery press power + volume up

Please Help me guyz.
I delete some aaps like phone.apk,contact.. Etc
Now showing NO SERVICE on status bar.
Thanks in advance... Please help me

I'm on the same firmware (completely stock - not rooted)
I could make a nandroid backup for you, but my upload speed is too slow, it would take ages to upload. Unless you only need the stock boot.img or recovery.
There's also an RUU available for your device, but the version is kitkat. I am not sure if you can flash it on an s-on device. But you can give it a try

You can get the right RUU for your device from here
You need to rename it to 0PFHIMG and copy it to your sd-card. then boot into bootloader (volume down + power button) and it should ask you to install the RUU,
RUU will wipe your entire internal storage, and it includes boot, radio, recovery, and etc.
But again, I am not sure if you can flash an RUU if your device is S-ON, (which is a security measure by HTC to prevent certain modifications the device)
Still, it doesn't hurt to give it a try. You have to re-lock your bootloader though.

This is my current setup. S-On but relocked. You mean so?

Okay, you are s-on, but since you are relocked, it may work.
Try moving the ruu to sd card and rename it as I mentioned before. Give it a try and see if it works or not

Once you are rooted, your system partition is modified. The OTA always checks the MD5 sum of the system partition, and if it doesn't match with the stock value, the update will fail.
If you have a nandroid backup of the stock Rom, you can just restore and flash the stock recovery. Otherwise you have to use the RUU.
Just make sure to flash the stock recovery before relocking your boot loader.

So what is the matching RUU for my device?

Hello Rouz,
thank you. With RUU it all works fine. I have on more question, for nandorid backup i have to root my phone? But when i have root my phone how it will work that i can update my phone with the nandroid backup?

I'm glad it all worked out! You don't need root for a nandroid backup, you just need a custom recovery.
Flash the custom recovery from fastboot using the command "fastboot flash recovery xxx.img" (the name of the file)
Then make a nandroid backup.
If you ever want to go back to stock again, just restore the nandroid backup, and then flash the stock recovery.
