Chinese HTC One X to UK RUU?

Hey guys i bought an HTC One X from a seller on craigslist. The phone was purchased from China (i think). Although i can change the language and keyboard to English, i cant help but wonder if its possible to flash my phone to the UK ROM
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.26.401.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251208_signed
If so, will it break anything? Any pre-cautions i should take before hand? Im in the US and use the phone on AT&T. Thanks!

Tried that 2 seconds after unpackaging the phone No new software found.

[edit]Ignore this post. Thought serialtoon had this version instead of wanting this version[/edit]
I don't think it is a retail One X purchased in China. 1.26.401.2 is generic European version IIRC. You don't need to do anything with it. You're fine just using that version and should get updates before any of the carrier branded versions.

I've included the version of the ROM I'm on right now.

Ahh. I thought you were on that version now. Sorry. Misunderstood what you were asking.
At the moment, all you can do is unlock the bootloader at htcdev and flash a custom firmware. You can't apply an official HTC firmware or change the baseband firmware as the bootloader is still in S-ON mode.
Once/if somebody does work out how to put the bootloader in S-OFF mode then you can alter the CID and reflash it with an official US or European One X firmware.

I see. Well I guess I'm stuck with this ROM for a little bit. In the end I'll just end up Modding it. As for right now. I've had the phone for less than a few hours so I'll enjoy it as it was intended. thanks!

Installed CM13 himaul to Asian One M9W (HTCCN_701), couldn't find suitable RUU

Hello guys, I flashed CM13 (himaul GSM) to Chinese M9W (this is my first htc phone), and i thought it will work welll, but it didn't go well than i except. Now It doesn't recognize SIM card, IMEI number anymore. After that I realized I deleted 2 days ago TWRP backups of my M9W.
It's board number is himauhl. Same version as European M9. But with different CID, HTCCN_701.
I can't found suitable RUU to my HTC M9W with HTCCN_701 CID. I found but it was in Chinese, I couldn't understand anything so I am not sure it's cid suitable to mine. Link: http://htcui.com/8812.html
If you guys know how to find suitable rom (RUU) to this CID, I will appreciate to you guys. Thanks for reading.

I think you must wait for the ruu for your device and region.

I did a lot of research, and I learned all phones shipped with hima_uhl has got same motherboard (doesn't matter the region), including same Modem in SoC. So, I did S-OFF on USB with a guy who has special toolkit (he doesn't let me the see toolkit), It costs something like 10 Euro. I changed CID to HTC_M27 (Turkish CID), Installed European lollipop RUU and flashed International (hima_uhl) Modem via TWRP. Now it Works like a charm.
I hope this tutorial helps other people who have M9W and cannot able to find solution, BTW thanks for your answer

After you installed latest European RUU available with compatible CID, you need to mount all partitions and flash this file to get RIL functions working. Also after doing this you can also install European device compatible AOSP Roms.

In my opinion set CID to 11111111 to bypass any soft bricks. I flashed with Turkish CID because my friend wanted to. I prefer using 11111111.

I now got 1111111.
Next step is flashing the european ruu? Can you give me a link for it?
By the way my phone don't recognize sim card because its locked to sprint, this will override my problem? And the phone will no brick?

S-OFF ? Alternative to "Sun-Shine"

Hi guys...
Is there any way rather than Sun-Shine method to achieve S-OFF on HTC 10?
I have a WWE 10 with .401 ROM
I'v unlocked my 10 through HTC-DEV site and go rooted.
Regards.

S-OFF is needed if I brick my device and want to downgrade or run lower version of RUU
Thank you.

I remember back in the M7 M8 days using a terminal and root to S-OFF with some other free program

there is no other method available at this juncture, Java cards havent been "leaked", XTC clip2 hasnt been updated for the 10, and the creators of rumrunner, moonshine, sunshine etc... are the same folks. Good people too. they are currently taking in verizon HTC 10 devices via mail in, as it is the only way for us at this point.

World Wide Edition
No, s-off can be beneficial to anyone whose carriers are bad about releasing firmware updates. But it's not necessary for anyone to have s-off. You just could be a little more limited in your rom options and you can't flash a radio from another region or customize your splash screen (the black screen with white HTC lettering.

The last time I flashed a ROM was way back when I had my M7 and I've pretty much forgotten how to do it. I'm looking at Leedroid but I can't seem to find instructions on how to root/flash. I'm not allowed to post a link to an external site but if you google "graphic city leedroid" it will show up as the 1st result.

If your in the US you should flashed the US unlocked RUU if you want faster updates than a carrier version of the phone.
SOFF means you can flash full firmware and software RUU for any region.

There's a video guide in the other section of the forum. I suggest if you choose this route unlock your bootloader at HTC Dev and keep it unlocked.

Do i need S-off to flash a US unlocked ruu on my tmobile variant. And also can i change the CID without s off... i really do not want to pay 25 dollars and nor do i have any means of paying it. I want the most up to date os and faster updates.

GSM to Sprint HTC 10???

So I bought my HTC 10 in Taiwan, which all cell phone providers there use GSM. But I forgot that 'unlocked' doesn't necessarily mean 'unlocked' here in the US. My cell phone provider in the US right now is Sprint, and I've been trying connect with my HTC 10 to Sprint's network, but no avail. Anyone know how to run Sprint on an unlocked HTC 10?

you would need to convert it to a sprint device.
Not sure if that has been done already.
would need s-off.

yep..and if you searcha bit, there are a couple of people converted their sprint to US Unlocked via RUU. So it has to work the other way round too.
I was not sure if the sprint version of the HTC10 is hardware wise the same as all others, but it is.
Prior the HTC10, the cdma devices had different hardware and conversion was not easily possible.

basically, you need s-off, supercid, sprint mid, then flasht the Sprint RUU (Not sure of that is available)

Need help restoring factory specs

So I bought this 'new' phone with the intention of rooting it and got to the point of updating to the latest firmware before root. turns out the phone is already 'modified'. contacted htc support looking for a means to restore factory specs but they say it has been rooted and it'll take another 2-3 days before i can further pursue the issue.
wondering if someone here can enlighten me as to how i'd restore stock before i re-root (there's no telling what mischief the rooter was up to). it was pretty easy on my old samsung with odin but this is my first htc so i'm in unknown territory here. the phone is in an otherwise impeccable state so i'm not really bothered about returning it since i can't imagine anything that might survive a factory reflash.
a little guidance would be much appreciated!

Take a look at the ReadMe thread. The RUU section most likely contains everything you need. I personally recommend the SD card method. It's the easiest and most fail-safe one.

Been poring through it but frankly it is overwhelming. Wonder if you could answer a few noob questions.
1. the ruu section says not to re-lock the bootloader. will flashing an ruu re-lock the bootloader?
2. found my ruu which seems to be a sprint cdma version (sku:651). however the cid (SPCS_001) does not match with mine (11111111). not sure where to find the MID. where does this mismatch leave me?
3. will flashing the sprint cdma fw lock my carrier (ie prevent me from using other sim cards)
4. does the ruu rewrite/restore all of the partitions e.g. including recovery? (considering an unknown person has rooted and tinkered with the phone).

No. Re-locking the bootloader requires the usage of a certain fastboot command.

Your phone currently uses the SuperCID. That CID had a whole bunch of benefits on older HTC devices. It lost most of them on the M9, though. Changing the CID is only possible with S-OFF. I highly recommend you to use the conversion guide for restoring your phones original CID. (CDMA versions of the M9 can't get converted to different variants without breaking them. If you're able to get mobile reception with that phone then it didn't get converted and you definetely own a Sprint M9. You don't have to look for the MID in this case.)

I can't answer that question since sim locks don't exist in the European firmware versions of this phone and I therefore don't have much experiences with them.

Yes, it does. RUUs overwrite everything on your phone with their files.

definitely a sprint m9 then. i wonder if they're rooting/unlocking sim-locked sprints and reselling them as unlocked phones.
will have to confirm the sim lock detail with htc support either way. but it's starting to look like i may have to return the phone. disappointing but at least rooting and flashing a genuine one is gonna be a breeze now
