Add required firmware version in Rules for Development

Hi everybody,
I'm here as a Sensation user with S-ON and 3.32 firmware.
I'd like to see ROM and KERNEL developers to show in the OP the required firmware version for their creations. Flashing something designed for 3.33 firmware on a device with 3.32 can bring unstability... I never tried, but it should be like this, right?
Some developers already put the required FW in the OP, but others do not.
So, what about to add this rule for the threads in the development section?

Don't use discontinued ROMs

Ehm... what does it mean?
Wrong thread maybe? Or you wanted to say: "Dont' use discontinued firmware"?

Nope, ROMs which are under active development all use the 3.33 firmware. It's the older ROMs that use 3.32

Well, this is something really good to know. I didn't figure it out because the Bruce's CM10 works fine for me (and for lots of other users) also on 3.32 And that's why I don't really need to go S-OFF and upgrade my firmware now.
Coming back to the topic...
In any case, I think the information you provided to me should be more highlighted in the development section.
Thanks for your answer.

Just s-off it mate, you'll wonder why never s-offed it before. The day I got my sensation a month ago, I s-offed it in 20 minutes and I haven't looked back. Latest firmware and no worries about flashing kernels and stuff. And it's you need any help, you've got some amazing people to help you on here

Mmmm, that's true... I must win my fear about Juopunut procedure. After this crazy period of exams I'll find time to go S-OFF. Thanks for your suggestion

I managed to do it on my second attempt. There's nothing to be afraid of when doing it with a paperclip

You have to ruu back to stock. Supercid stock, relock bootloader.why not just flash one of the stock roms in the dev section. As of now I dont even think there is a root exploit for 3.18 base

Im running the latest viper xl Rom and love it, u never said what hboot you are on. Anything 1.14 and up needs to have a boot image flashed separate. I think viper will flash the boot image for you though. If you need help with that let me know but u really should read more and you will figure this out quick enough

"Because it is new and is from their Carrier" so people will think they need to flash it

Lol lucky he didn't brick or corrupt hboot . There is a version of that here in android to use instead of ota btw
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

To the OP:
-When you take an ota, it tries to reboot to recovery. You have a custom recovery installed, but you have to have stock recovery to install an official update.
-You can flash this thing you downloaded, but it has to be renamed update.zip and moved to the root directory. Then you've got to run a ruu to get stock recovery back on.
-If you have s-on and superCID, installing this OTA will brick your phone.
-The 3.18 ota contains some firmware updates and a new hboot that aren't included in JB roms. But if your phone is running fine, you don't need these.
-You're better off just flashing a JB rom until you understand more about how your phone works.

You don't have to get s-off, what hboot you on? Do you know how to fastboot a boot.img? The download is on his Google drive under working folders.

I am running HBOOT 1.09.000...I am familiar with flash. Believe it or not I'm pretty savvy with all this. It's just the newer things to flash I'm not familiar with like the re locking...it's probably my ADD kicking in...lol

Of your s-on you'll have to relock your boot loader to run it. (fastboot oem lock then fastboot erase cache then fastboot reboot RUU once rebooted with silver/grey HTC logo then start RUU on computer)

[Q] hboot version for ViperXL 4.2.0

I am owning HTC One X (AT&T) Hboot 0.89, CID 1111111, S-ON. I have installed ViperXL 4.2.0 with this hboot, but can see some inormal acts on my phone. Do I need to upgrade HBOOT version? If yes, how can I do that?

First of all you need soff. It's in the original android development. After that, I wrote a guide in the general section on how to update the bootloader

I've seen a lot of your other posts and if you can confirm you are unlocked and S-Off then I would recommend checking that you still have a custom recovery. If you do, then mount the SD card and move a Rom over (with GAPPS if you decide to use an AOSP Rom.) Flash the Rom and Flash GAPPS if needed. Follow the directions in the Rom of your choice if they differ from that.
Or
You could Run a RUU and start completely over. Don't forget to flash a custom recovery afterwards in bootloader mode and flash a root program (I recommend SuperSU) in recovery prior to booting the system.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593037
Just make sure you have an unlocked bootloader and S-Off prior to following any of these recommendations.

Please learn how to post properly to this forum. OP has appeared both here and in my PM, asking for help with 2 different issues and not supplying nearly enough info.
When posting a question, you need to state clearly:
- What you were trying to do (install a ROM, etc.) including what exact steps got you to the place you are at
- whether your phone is stock or modded (bootloader unlocked, rooted, S-on or S-off, etc.)
- what ROM you are on
- the info listed in the first 5 lines of hboot.
Asking for help with one vague sentence doesn't cut it. If you want help, we need details. Don't be lazy and just type vague one-sentence posts, unless you want the same in return.
Also, the question in the OP probably would have been easily answered by simply reading the Frequently Asked Questions sticky at the top of this forum section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136172

No worries. Just take a deep breath and slow down before you post, and if possible sit at a computer where you can type properly. Asking for help with one sentence posts, and not providing enough details isn't going to help anyone. You will inevitably just have to type later anyway when we start asking for the details (plus more back and forth, and more waiting for a response).
I'm not personally much of an AOSP user, so I can't specifically help. But I know timmaa (and others) are more versed in AOSP.

Exactly what error are you getting when attempting to install the ROMs? Are you using the official of modified TWRP?
Sent from my Evita

I am not using modded. The original 2.6.3
It's saying failed...and somethingabout 2.15 I'm not home right now but break at work.
