Firmware bits? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

When I had the HTC Evo 4g LTE and there was updates we were able to download all the firmware bits except the Hboot. Is there anything like this for the HTC One X or do I just flash the rom. I was told in the forum for the Evo that to fully utilize the fixes they offered we would have to download the firmware bits first then flash the rom. thanx

Ok so is my question so stupid that no one wants to answer or does no one really know the answer... I found radio upgrades and stuff like that but not the actual firmware bits... I also found the ruu but then I have to go through the whole unlocking thing again...

It's not a stupid question. I'm curious about this too.

I did some more research but couldn't find anything... It would be nice to be able to flash the bits but I don't know how much of that is needed. I remember freezer used to do it for the htc evo 4G lte so maybe I can ask him how and try to do it myself... It's worth a try

Never seen anything about firmware bits in the on htc one xl forums.

Bump.
I suppose you would have to upgrade the firmware by locking your bootloader, running a new ruu, then unlocking it. I wouldn't try it with anything later then 1.85 though.

[Q] Noob question regarding firmware

Hey I just picked up the HTC One X today from Rogers and I'm in love <3. However, I must first make it sexy (Root, unlock bootloader etc.) and in order to do this I need some knowledge of something i'm sure everyone knows. Basically in the forums I saw some programs that offered a root via a tool or an unlocked bootloader, but its listed under a title containing the numbers 1.85, is that referring to the firmware? If so how can i check the firmware on my phone I cant find any number like that :S Thank you and i'm sure this is one hell of a noob question. Thanks for the help in advance ^_^
Settings, about, software information, more, build number.
The build number is the firmware I believe.

Can I still use these tools to root my phone and unlock the boot loader?
Yep, just read some of the stickies guides.

Sure ill let you know if I decide to do it, I'm still kind of scared I had the HTC amaze and panache which I rooted and s-off but I had an sd card slot which saved me countless times with this phone there is none and it seems really scary.

I done it with my dhd very easily just cant seem to find much on my one xl i would appreciate any support you have thanks for your time.

If this is for Unlocking the Bootloader then you don't need to do this at all as we can Unlock without it. If it's for another reason then yes as far as I know you can use this tool which has a Telstra edit here.
Gday mate thanks for the reply will unlocking the BL allow me to flash other RUU files also? Or will the cid still block that

Don't know why you would want to flash another ruu as after you unlock the bootloader you can flash any rom for the foreseeable future...
After you unlock the bootloader then flash Twrp, then you will be able to flash ROMs.
I think I need to write a guide on this I've answered this a few times recently for telstra users.
Any more questions let me know

Actually, you can't flash a RUU if your device is unlocked.
It will allow you to flash roms.

Gday mate from the research I have done you can't root my software version 1.89 correct? And I can't down grade either because that's requires root? So I'm pretty much stuck at the moment? I appreciate all your support with this

You can't root but you can unlock your bootloader then flash a recovery then flash a rom that's rooted already.

You just have to unlock to root. AT&T devices have to root first to change the CID.

[Q] Telstra 1.89 XL can I load custom ROM

I have read a lot of posts, some say it is not possible some say it is.
Yes it's possible. Unlock your bootloader through htcdev.com then you can flash a recovery and then a rom.
Check out the telstra one XL thread in the general forum as I've posted the steps there a few times.

It is possible, I just flashed the Telstra 1.89 Rom to my AT&T One X, battery life is much better without constantly searching for LTE

It worked thanks.
After loading recovery, make sure you go straight into recovery and do a backup, or you wont have one.

one x wont accept updates.

I went to update my htc one x, and it says server unavailable and im on 4.0.3. Im stuck...
You are almost certainly better off by not doing any OTA updates from at&t.

If OP has any desire to root and flash custom ROMs, I agree. Just root and unlock bootloader now. Then update to whatever stock rooted or custom ROM you like.
If OP wants to stay stock, then get the RUU from the HTC website. RUU will wipe the phone, but its a cleaner install than OTA, and less likely to cause problems anyway.
I had the same problem. Download the rom from HTC .com connect to pc and install rom.

Att HTC one X won't update to jelly bean.

I'm running gophone and it updated when I first got my phone fine, however now everytime I go to check for update to install jelly bean, it says unavailable. How do I get jellybean the att way without unlocking the downloader?

Wrong forum ! You belong in the HTC one XL thread
I never saw a one xl thread, and what is the difference, I thought the xl was a Canada only phone?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
One XL has a dual core cpu and lte radio, international one has quad core tegra 3 processor.
This is the correct forum for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
How do I move This thread to the one xl forum, or do I have to just start a new one? Im new to the forum so sorry for the dumb question.
Click the tiny orange triangle in upper tight hand corner of your post. In the text field type please move to xxxx and for reason select post moving .
Thread moved bud. Just be mindful where you go posting next time. XDA has done a good job at making sure each specific device has it's own forums.
Thanks

easy way would be to go to htc's website download the ruu hook your phone to your computer and run the ruu if your phone has supercid and s-on go s-off or you will brick your phone if your phone is stock non rooted you ill be fine

Thanks, yes my phone is completely stock and non rooted, that's why I wanted to know how to get the official update, or I'd already have 4.2
