Hello
I've got a rooted One S, i'm trying to get the sense 4.1 OTA update but with no luck. I currently have the stock rom and just yesterday flashed a stock recovery. I managed to download the update but about a quarter of the way through the installation I got a red triangle. About five minutes later the phone reboots and i'm back to square one. I've also tried looking for an ruu for tmobile uk but to no avail.
Have you tried pressing VOL UP on the triangle?
Check for updates by going into the dialer and typing *#*#2432546#*#* (numbers stand for CHECKIN). Stay with the update the whole way through. Or better yet, since you're rooted change your CID to HTC__001 and run the 2.38 unbranded RUU.

What does vol up do? I just tried it but nothing happened, and also do you know where i can find the ruu?
I'm also with T-Mobile UK and unfortunately there are no RUUs. Which is why I suggested de-branding. How about holding the VOL UP button? I think that was it.

I just tried VOL UP it went into the bootloader, then i went to recovery and i got the same red triangle again
Hmm. At this stage I think the best option would be to de-brand yourself, run an unbranded RUU and then change your CID to T-MOB005 to receive the update. Then that should work.

Quick question!!
If I change Cid to HTC__001 will it change the radio or anything of the sort that will make it not work with my network in Canada. What are the benefits of keeping your Cid from the network? Sorry for the noob question!

Changing ur cid Will not mess anything up I changed mine through my phone. As for finding unbranded ruus I b have been looking for about a week and havemt found one and also I think the only way to use jb on one s is with a custom Rom right now

So my Sensation was S-Off and rooted however it started to play up so went back to S-On and Un-rooted, HBOOT now reads ****Locked**** and S-On. Is this all I need to do, does something more need to be done, will they be able to tell? They said on the phone if warranty is voided then I must incur the cost of fixing it..
Id really appreciate your help guys.
If its fully stock with s-off and stock recovery your good to go

Ok thanks, how do I know if I have stock recovery?
Hi, i am sending mine back tomorrow as well.
Do I have to put it back to S-ON? I've heard its risky.
Best to, and it's not risky if you follow the guide to a T
Make sure you've set the CID back to what it should be before doing it (assuming you changed it in the first place)
Hey, it looks like mine's going back as well.
I'm a little unsure of which version HTC rom was default on it because I bought it from Pixmania and not a carrier.
It originally had Vodafone branding and the box is written in German.
I don't think I've changed off of the original kernel or radio as I've only switched roms through ROM Manager since I rooted the phone using these instructions.

I too am wondering the same thing, but my problem is slightly different. My phone wont even power on so i was unable to s-on factory rom it, im unsure of what exactly needs to be replaced on the phone so idk if theyre gonna be able to see that the software has been changed.
Hi again,
I found my CID: VODAP102, it's for Vodafone Germany.
Where can I find the matching stock ROM?
Thanks,
ANKh

Uhoh, i didn't change the CID back but I did S-ON...
Will they notice if its just a hardware repair?
Too late now, I guess I will find out...
Okay, my Sensation is ready to go for repairs:
I found an old HTC_Pyramid_Vodafone_DE RUU here.
I installed it. And updated... and updated... and updated...
Because I still had my original cid I was able to get my phone into fastboot and "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3".
Now my phone is running a stock rom with locked bootloader and locked S-On and stock recovery.

Yes it did, HTC UK repaired the phone and converted it to a stock HTC UK phone without any German or Vodafone stuff on it anymore.
They didn't charge me anything for it.

I sent my Sensation back a few weeks ago because the touchscreen stopped working with S-OFF and they didn't notice and is still S-OFF now!
OKAY so this might be an odd question, mods can delete as soon as I get an answer that's ok but I have this situation:
I live in South Africa, where the HTC One S has not yet been released. On holiday in the Netherlands I decided to buy a SIM lock free HTC One S. With my old South African SIM card cut to size, the roaming features worked fine but I received the first OTA system update via a Dutch WiFi Network while still on holiday. This brought my device to software version 1.78.401.2 with Android 4.0.3. However I am now back in South Africa and although the HSDPA works fine here and such, I've seen the new 2.21 Android 4.0.4 update has since been released for Euro devices. I have checked my CID which is HTC__E11 or similar but checking under settings doesn't show any updates. Will the update become available to my device and can I receive the OTA update from South Africa?
I'm stock unrooted.
Thanks in advance. If suggested ideas include checking HBOOT please advise as I don't know how to check on this device, just came from an HTC Wildfire with CM.
AFAIK you'll get OTA updates based on your CID and it doesn't matter which carrier you're on. I'd imagine you'll get your OTA soon even if you pull your SIM out and move to Antarctica as long as you have Wifi. Never mind your hboot version it doesn't matter if you're on stock software, but if you want to check hold volume down for a while when powering on
Matt,
If the CID is HTC__E11 it means it is Europe unbranded. You should receive the OTA soon. But if you're like me and you're impatient, you can run the 2.21 RUU. But this will update your HBOOT and is currently not rootable. Checking for the HBOOT is the same as the Wildfire - Vol Down + Power.

But your phone was also rooted before the HBOOT upgrade? Other people have said they can't root it after the upgrade, if they haven't rooted before.

The first thing I did with my new device was run the 2.21 RUU followed by unlocking the bootloader and rooting it.
The only problem I had was running CWM recovery (probably my error) but no problems at all with TWRP recovery.

Hey Usaff
Thanks for the advice, was slow to realize it was vol down+ power until the softkey lights flash
The RUU flashes and wipes the phone, correct? Strangely I remember using an RUU to get Froyo on my old Wildfire when it was still stock and somehow that functioned like an OTA and never wiped my data, might be remembering incorrectly, was a long time ago...

Correct, but isn't root system related and not firmware related?

Is that the distinction between S-OFF and rooting? I know rooting gains access to Android system files and stuff, then is S-OFF just a security flag for HTC devices? Noob questions I know...

It is system related but firmware also greatly affects rooting, especially if a firmware upgrade upgrades your HBOOT version.

1) you mean Sim - unlocked right? In that case it won't get locked even if you update the phone software.
2)First and important step is using the search function and I known its very hard for you but once in a while try using the search function, trust me you won't get tired

You cannot run an RUU on a boot loader unlocked phone. relock it first.

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't know how to do that. I guess I'll hold off 4.0.4 for now...
You need to read some more, before running things willy-nilly without the proper research.
I would advise against running the 2.20 RUU. As I already mentioned, it updates the hboot, which robs you of the ability to flash kernels and radios. There is no upside to it, since you can flash the ROM in other ways. Your phone is bootloader unlocked, and has full ability to flash kernels and radios. These are all good things. Don't take a step backward by flashing the 2.20 RUU.
If all you want is to update the ROM to 2.20, just flash the pre-rooted ROM (which will not replace the hboot): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812459
But in fact, these are more recent versions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789059

Ya know, you guys CAN extract the rom.zip from 2.2x ruu and pull each image and flash them individually to get the 2.2x updates and keep your unlocked 1.09 hboot intact. That way you dont have to do the kernal flashing and what not. It will be fully updated, sbl's, radio everything.:beer:

Thanks a lot guys. I should have done some research. I bought this phone second hand thinking "unlocked" meant I could use it on other networks --didn't know the previous owner meant he unlocked the bootloader...hahaha...I guess i'll do some research to relock it.

Didn't read a thing I typed, apparently.
No need to relock it. Just run one of the stock rooted or custom ROMs in Development. Flash a new radio if you want.
I'm sorry, i really don't know how to do any of those stuff...
I just got the phone a couple of days ago and i am still waiting on my t-mobile non-gba micro sim that i ordered online, now im really not sure anymore if its unlocked to other networks...
I won't know til that sim card gets here, but in the mean time i'll do some reading on all those stuff you mentioned =)
I went to the HTC site and did a manual update, but I dont have sense 4.1. anyone know if the ATT version will get it?
plz help
I have a at&t one x I bought last night that is unlocked and I am using on telus.
The phone isn't rooted and is running on android 4.0.3 and HTC sence 4.0
When I try to update it nothing happens. My brother has the same phone thro telus and has received updates. I have went to settings about phoneat&t updates but when I search it does not do nothing .
An AT&T phone won't get the updates unless it's on their network it seems. Just download the ruu

Bump. I unlocked my Rogers One X a while back, because I am planning on selling it. Since that time though, I have run an RUU on it. I no longer have another carrier's SIM card to test, so I just want to know if the unlock is permanent , or if it gets relocked when an RUU or factory reset is run.
The SIM unlock is permanent and will survive any RUU or factory reset.

Carrier unlock and bootloader unlock are two different things. You can run the software update just fine.
What does Tampered mean?
Hi ,
Still a little confused ( sorry, total newbie)
I'm using a at&t Htc one x in India. When i load it in HBoot it shows:
*Tampered*

If it says tampered that means it was unlocked at some time and was probably supercid.
You can try using fastboot to determine the CID, it may be changed back CWS__001 or could still be 11111111
You would most likely brick if you try to ruu to 3.18
You would have to S-OFF first which is somewhat advanced and creates a big security hole if you don't know what you're doing.
Hey guys I was wondering if any one can help me here I have an issue and its bothering me like hell
So I bought my new AT&T one x and there was an update available (sense 5 update) and when I downloaded I pressed on update now and the phone turned off and just in the middle of the update , the installation shows an error triangle with exclamation mark and the phone restarted and nothing happened !
I need help updating it and without rooting my phone ...
thanks
I don't think there's an official sense 5 update from AT&T yet? What is your current firmware?
There is no Sense 5 update for at&t yet. Was the phone used? Does it respond at all when you try to power it on now?

So it sounds like you tried updating, it failed, and then you just rebooted back into android. I had this problem a while back. You can update via RUU, though it'll wipe your phone. Are you rooted? Also, there's no official Sense 5 for AT&T One X.
No my phone is not and was not rooted .. i bought newly yesterday
To be honest i dont know if its at&t but it is the one xl , the dual core one , unlocked (unlocked for any gsm network)
I really need help..
And if there is no official sense 5 then why do i get an update available when i scan ?? And it says sense 5 in the update info..
You don't know what carrier you're on? There is an update for sense 5 but not for AT&T. Anyways just fyi, but sorry don't know how to fix your issue.
How can you not know which carrier you're with? Before you think about taking an OTA we need to see your bootloader details first. To get to the bootloader turn off your phone, once it's completely off hold the volume down button and then the power button (so you're holding them together), after a few seconds let go of power but keep holding volume down until it reaches the white screen with text. This is your bootloader, please post the first five lines.

I already did check every single detail the moment I got my phone !
I even called my friend to come over to compare his ONE x with mine and no difference at all ! maybe the only difference is that my phone is faster XD , yet I am assuming it wont update because I have no sim card yet (no carrier)...

*** LOCKED ***
EVITA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-11111111 (8 1'S i GUESS)
HBOOT-1.14.0002
RADIO-0.19as.32.09.11_2
OpenDSP-v29.1.0.45.0622
eMMC-boot
Jun 11 2012,14:36:28
So I got my sim card and I checked for updates and installed it , and did the same problem , got stuck with triangle and exclamation mark in it (in red color) and restarted after a minute or some thing and nothing changed ...
It isn't working because your CID was changed to SuperCID (11111111) by the previous owner of the phone. You need to change it back to the original CID fit the update to work. Is it definitely the at&t model? If so it should have the at&t logo at the top of the screen instead of the HTC logo.

Well... I bought the htc one xl from ebay , the dual core... It is unlocked and now my carrier is celcum since i put the celcum sim in my one xl... I am from Israel .. though the device i bought was brand new according to the seller... On top there is htc logo not at&t since its unlocked..
Sorry man, but your phone is pre-owned. If you really want the official update you need to change the CID to the original CID, the problem is you don't know what the original CID is. I'd contact the seller and firstly complain, and ask for a partial refund.

Ok I sent my seller a message of complain and he better answer me soon ! yet the device feels brand new ... even if it was pre owned I can accept it since I bought it for cheap money .. I get what I pay for .. any wayz I asked him for an original CID and when he gives it to me will it take me a long term process to change my CID back to the original ??
and thanks a lot for your help I appreciate it !!
The process to change the CID back is pretty easy, it's one fastboot command. Luckily the phone is s-off so you can change the CID as many times as you wish to. You'll need adb/fastboot installed on your pc, as well as HTC drivers.
The other option is to unlock the bootloader at htcdev, install a custom recovery (TWRP), and install a custom Sense 5 ROM (or any ROM for that matter). We have them in our development section and they range from completely stock to seriously tweaked, either way it's the same experience as you'd have by taking the official update.

Welll... The seller doesnt know the original cid and he still claims that all their phones sre brand new... Is there by any chance i can know my original cid besides asking the seller?
There isn't really any way to tell once the CID has been changed. You should be able to use any CID as long as you use the corresponding RUU to go with it.

I mean is there certain number of CIDs that I can try out and see which is original or its all random numbers and come with random phones ?
in that case I will try to push my seller to spell it out , otherwise I will have to root my phone ..
