RUU 3.18 - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hi
I was looking at various CM 10.1/AKOP ROMS and many of them had RUU 3.18 as a requirement. From what I understand this is only required for ROMS running the 3.4 kernal.
My only problem is that I am using a Telus HTC One XL, and while looking at a thread with the RUU of each provider, the latest RUU for my phone was 3.17, which I am currently running.
Would I still be able to flash ROMS running the 3.4 kernal or should I stick to ROMS without that kernal?
If it helps:
Unlocked Boot loader
Rooted
Super CID
S-OFF
Hboot 2.14
Touch Firmware Downgraded
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm not 100% sure, but you could always make a nandroid backup and try cm10.1. I *think* the 2.14 HBOOT is the important part.

I you might as well just backup then try it. Worst case is it doesn't work and you restore backup. Also, I'm pretty sure you can do the 3.18 ruu on any XL device.

3.17 works too. I'm on Telus 3.17 and have run cm10.1 with 3.4 kernel.

OK guys, thanks. Guess I'll flash it and see how it goes.
Edit: Worked great! Thanks a lot guys!

Does anybody have AT&T stock 2.20 nandroid backup?

Does anybody have AT&T stock 2.20 nandroid backup? I'm trying to make my phone complete stock for a reason. I cannot flash RUU, because previously I flashed Asian 2.42 RUU, and that's why its not letting me to downgrade even with super cid. Backup would be appreciated if anybody can provide it.
Thanks in advance.

Nandroid is not going to return you to stock like an RUU would. You would still be rooted and have custom recovery.
What you are asking for would not really have any different result than flashing a stock rooted ROM, so you can do that, if you just want to get the ROM back to stock.

No one is going to give you their nandroid, since that would have all their personal settings and Google password.
The 2.20 AT&T RUU should work. Are you sure you've got HTC sync installed?

I'm not noob, and I pretty sure know how to run RUU. I have all the drivers installed. And currently running JB custom ROM on 2.42 ICS firmware with 1.14 bootloader. I can not run AT&T 2.20 RUU, because I will getting bootloader error. You will have same problem if you run different region RUUs with newer firmware. I don't want personal information. Some people may have clean stock nandroid without any personal stuff.
I had the same problem with my ONE S and there were people who had such nandroids, and they did help me with it.
That's why we call it community. We try to help each other as much as we can.

Relax man. He's asking for the easy stuff first, since the best solution is very often the easiest one. Better to ask the seemingly 'obvious' question right off the bat, rather than go down some complicated road needlessly.
Re-installing HTC Sync fixes up the issue for the huge majority of people with RUU errors. Not in your case, as you are correct that trying to run the RUU with a lower hboot version number that what is already installed, will cause it to fail. But he is just trying to be helpful.

I'm relaxed, thank you for understanding me. The reason for this request is that there might be, and its might be an update from At&t in a future eventually. I'm just trying to be prepared for this, because I can not run 2.20 RUU and the only way to get this future update would be from a system setting. I like clean stock, rooted Rom with all the unneeded apps uninstalled. Once I got the update I can just unlock the bootloader and root it and install insecure kernel along.

I didnt't realize 2.42 contained an updated hboot. That would obviously prevent running an earlier ruu. Sorry for the confusion.

It seems hboot is the same 1.14 in both 2.20 and 2.42 RUUs. I think with the latter some other partitions were updated as well, which prevent downgrading.

Any news about sense 5
is this a full stock rom or do you need the ICS 2.35 RUU first before running this if you want to go back to stock? The DL is about 700 MB so I surely hope it's the whole thing otherwise, that's a bit bloated for an update...lol

Hi I have a quick question. Was there something about flashing this RUU that would break the S-off exploit? Meaning if we used this RUU, we would no longer be able to S-off?

I haven't heard of anything about that but I haven't really read much about it either. For me S-off isn't a big deal. it makes things more convenient but isn't necessary. Really only affects updating radios and blackbox partitions. As long as I got access to recovery and system, I'm fine.

Is this a full Official ROM? What does this update provide? I cannot find any information on Tmobile.com for this update.

Mkinney88s ROM and my ROM have the same base as this RUU. This RUU is a bit older than the WWE ROMs that are out though...like ViperOneS...its based on 3.16, and the T-Mobile version is 3.14...but they are both JB...I suggest using the 3.16 bases unless you are T-Mobile US.

PAC Rom

Hey all, I've just switched to this ATT One X and I'm looking for a little guidance. I've rooted, unlocked bootloader, and flashed TWRP. I've also downloaded PAC and GAPPs. That being said, I've read a little about flashing a Rom and a boot.img seperately which would be new to me. I didn't see anything mentioning that process on the PAC thread so I'm assuming that I just wipe data, flash Rom, wipe cache and dalvik, flash gapps and reboot? If there is something I'm missing, could anybody help? Thanks in advance!

If you are s-off you do not have to flash the boot.img seperately. If you are s-on you have to flash the boot.img with fastboot from a computer.

Quick question, flash the whole rom zip, then the boot.img, then gaaps?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I'm pretty sure you can flash the boot.img with fastboot before or after the rom. But flash gapps after you flash the rom. The way I used to do it(when I was s-on) was flash rom, flash gapps, then flash the boot.img from the terminal using fastboot.

[APP] Flash Image GUI - Flash Kernels and Recoveries from normal Android mode! is your friend
flash boot.img first then rom and gapps, but definately do s-off you don't wanna end up forgetting that flashing 3.17/3.18 with s-on + supercid will brick your phone.
Nice! I'm looking into s-off as of now, but what did you mean by flashing 3.17/3.18? I'm on 3.18 and I believe I have superCID. Does that mean I should hold off on flashing until I'm s-off?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
No you can flash now. We weren't aware that you're already on the 3.18 firmware. If you weren't on that firmware you would have needed to RUU up to it in order to flash the ROM, and the warning was to get s-off before running the RUU because s-on + SuperCID + RUU = brick. So, go ahead and flash the ROM.
PS. In future, make sure you provide all relevant information (current firmware/current recovery/s-off or s-on status). This information is needed to help, and it also stops this kind of confusion.

I can install RUU with my S-off Cid 11111?

Hello geniuses
I have a doubt, my HOXL phone is new and comes with software
RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US_1.85.502.3_R2_Radio_0.17. 32.09. 12_10. 86.32 08L_release_262092_signed. exe

But I am afraid of making it brick but the S-OFF CID 11111
I can? or not?
Or I have to return it to S-ON
Is which the correct way??
You'll be fine, it only bricks when you have SuperCID + s-on. Your current configuration (SuperCID + s-off) is fine.

Thank you, I am more reassured
You or someone I could confirm if the version
is 3.18 best for my phone? or they have any better?
The 3.18 RUU is the latest at&t RUU that has been released. It will update your hboot to 2.14, which is good because if you plan on running any recent aosp ROM you need that hboot. If you plan on staying stock though you'll have JB 4.1 running.

Timmaaa,
If I've upgraded the firmware and flashed Turge's 4.2.2 sense ROM, do you think it's safe to RUU back to stock?
The combination of the new ROM, the new firmware, and Beastmode kernel seem to produce bad behaviors like going to airplane mode during calls and random shutdowns.
Thanks,
Dan

I haven't seen anyone report running an RUU while on the latest firmware, but if you're s-off you should be safe to do so. Please note I'm saying you SHOULD be safe, this is not a guarantee as I haven't tested it, but I'd assume that the theory is sound.

If you've upgraded your firmware you might not necessarily need to use the Beastmode kernel, you could try dirty flashing the ROM. This will in effect just replace Beastmode with the stock kernel.

It looks like it's probably a hardware problem, but to test the theory you could run an RUU and see if the problem persists on the stock ROM. If so you have a faulty digitizer.

Ok, so you have the 2.18 hboot, that's why I asked for your bootloader details the first time around. You should run an RUU, maybe the 3.18, to see if it resolves your problem.
