Build number 2.20 vs 2.29 - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hello
Is there any major difference of fix between the two roms? I'm running cleanrom 5 and its 2.20 and everything works n good but i was just looking at the website and i saw there is a 2.29 build number but still ICS. Is there any major update in it or i just stick with the 2.20 because everything i use works right now and have no problems with it

CleanROM 5 is actually built on 2.29, not 2.20 like your phone says. So in that regard just leave it as is.

Any HTC Magic32A except Rogers (not MT3G 1.2) will work with goldcard only (cause CustomerID is ROGER01 in this Rom)
Thanks,
I'm using this rom now with goldcard and works surprising well compared with smoky x.1 which i got earlier for about one day. Even if i liked the apps in smoky x.1 i'm gonna stick with this for now because is official and seems to work very smooth.
This is the one from the Rogers RUU? Have anyone had trouble with it yet? And I just flashed it normal (not sure what that goldcard is) when the rom was released, and now after a while my phone seems to be have troubles receiving any signal at all. :S

How do I update to 2.20 on mac?

Is this possible? I've seen that the update is a .exe file. I'm already rooted and unlocked.

install a recovery. I recommend twrp. To get twrp install goo manager from the play store. After that if you want the pure stock experience without the headaches it can bring install the rooted 2.20 that scrosler posted in dev. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812459

Nope. If you are happy with clean rom stick with it. 4.5 incorporates the changes that come with 2.20 and android 4.04.

Actually, this is 2.23 with AT&T bits blended in. It also has much of the bloatware removed. Scott has said there is practically no difference between 2.20 and 2.23 except the AT&T Stuff.
If you are still on 1.xx, it would recommend upgrading to 2.xx. The new ones are based on 4.0.4 and an updated Sense 4.0. It it much smoother, better multitasking and I get better battery life.
I would also suggest CleanROM 4.5 SE, since you will still have the stock experience and keep your unlocked bootloader and root.
You can do this without having to use the RUU, so it will be much easier.

Official ICS RUU, Radio upgrade, HBOOT upgrade

So, the official ICS RUU upgrade is here. I've had some experience with various custom ICS roms, and I found that I love Sense (3.6) and ICS.
Reading the prerequisites and other documentation got me thinking. I hope you guys can answer my questions, or some of them.
1. What does the ICS RUU have over custom ICS roms? I can't imagine anything, except for an updated radio perhaps?
This will help me determine whether I may get the ICS RUU or stay on a custom rom.
2. The prerequisite is having the HBOOT 2.00.2002 bootloader. Plenty links and instructions for backupping and flashing that, that will work.
However, *why* is is necessary to update it? Something to do with the size of the ICS RUU, which leads me to believe that the HBOOT 2.00.2002 is much smaller than my current alpharev 6.98.1002 HBOOT. But AFAIK (in general) bootloaders are quite small..
3. Are the any advantages to the HBOOT 2.00.2002 bootloader? Besides being to install the ICS RUU.
4. Since I'm thinking of updating other parts of my phone besides the OS itself (HBOOT, see point 2) I got thinking about the radio too.
My radio is version RADIO-3805.06.02.03_M
I have very poor reception in some parts of the country where I regurarly am (many weekends per year). Updating to the latest official Radio may give me better reception. Updating to what HTC considers the best radio firmware seems like a good idea, right?
Is this the wrong forum to ask these questions?

Let's see... no need to go the X-Clip route to root your phone, just do an unlock and that's it.
You should do your research first as almost all has already been answered.
1. ICS that came out is official from HTC. That means its more stable, faster, and less buggy from their eyes. And may also be true if compared to other Custom ROMs. Its a matter of preference and ROM testing to see the differences.
2. The untouched ICS ROM also works for HBOOT v2.00.002 (came from Sense 3.0 release, Gingerbread). The HBOOT v2.02.002 (came from Sense 3.6 release, Ice Cream Sandwich) is an updated version of the latter. There maybe great changes, or maybe not. I have not seen any changelog from the net. Based on my experience, HBOOT from ICS does not want the System/Lib partition to be formatted via ROM flash from recovery. But the HBOOT from the GB can.
3. Not known yet. See number 2.
4. Yes and no. Yes, because HTC wants you to use the radio that is included from the RUU as they see fit that that is the best for its ROM. No, because some ROMs or its developers, same as HTC, prefers certain radios to be used, that is if you plan to use custom ROMs. Regarding your reception, the Desire S has already been found to have a lesser or weaker reception compared to other phones. Even older Nokia phones sometimes are better from it. Depends on your area as well.

Emm, im afraid this is the wrong thread, this is in the "Desire S" forum.

AT&T 2.20 + Sense 4.1?

Is there a way to have the 2.20 rom but with Sense 4.1?
My first HOX came with 2.20 and it ran sooo good, no lag, super smooth,, not a single issue,,, but... no root.
So now I had tried all the Custom ROMS available for the HOX and none of them are running as smooth as the 2.20 was. so my question is..
is there a way to have 2.20 and sense 4.1? I searched and only found 2.20 but 2.20 comes with sense 4.0.
thanks
No, either wait for the official 4.1 release or try a custom Rom
If you also would search the changelog for sense 4.1 it brings the speed improvements that your talking about.

Downgrading JB 4.1 back to ICS 4.0.4

Whoops what sounded like a success story ended in a brick story.
Lets wait and see if anyone can downgrade on their on accord without bricking before I put this back up.
Yeah, would be interesting to see if anyone does this and succeeds where I failed and see what procedural differences there were.

That sounds like you had some random cooked ROM on your phone and not one of the official HTC 3.17 updates that delivered official JB 4.1 to the One XL.
Some random cooked ROM can be changed whenever, there is no story in that.
A phone that has a full 3.17 update including updated firmwares like hboot 2.14 etc is an entirely different story.
Many many users are on official HTC 3.17(JB 4.1) which severely impacts their ability to customize things.
Many are looking for a downgrade path back to previous HTC builds from the 4.0.4 era.

So you are either talking about a JB RUU or a JB OTA right? You are not talking about any of the 3.17 Roms that are in development are you? Just not real clear according to what has been posted so far.

I doubt you have more than a backup of a few partitions(system, data etc) but not the other 30 or so. That is not a "full backup" and would not reverse this issue.
This problem is not caused by the Rom installed on system hence why this is not a simple thing to fix so far. That is why a user that did everything that was previously required to downgrade ended up with a permanently bricked phone that required replacing.
Phones will begin to ship with 3.17 and newer HTC builds everywhere soon enough. Sticking our heads in the sand and thinking this is only an issue to those that accept an ota is very short sighted.
Also HTC is updating firmware things on the phone that could potentially be benefitial to the phone that users avoiding newer ruu and ota will miss. Afaik the dsp firmware is the i/o controller of the phone and has been updated in all HTC updates so far, it is likely more important to the phones correct operation than the radio firmware but is never really mentioned on xda.
