[Q] From ICS to JB

Hi, I have a HTC ONE XL for AT&T with S-OFF and unlocked bootloader. I have the nocturnal ROM based on ICS. Also HBOOT 1.01.0000.
I want to install a rom based on JB (This particular CleanROM 6.5 - ★ | Jellybean 4.1.1! |).
My question is with this hboot, can i flash a jb rom from ICS? Because I'm not sure if flash from recovery the zip of this rom bricked me.

It won't brick you. I'm not sure if you'll experience issues using such an old firmware with a ROM based on the latest softwate

Thanks. Is there any way to update the software?

Yes install the Ruu, then push twrp, then install CR. This will give you the latest firmware. CR by itself does not so it, and some gave experienced random reboots with older wifi firmware. Just be aware that a small subset of HOXL phones do not work well with Maps/nav under JB

thanks for reply! I did brick my phone when i try to install an official ruu 2 months ago, but i did fix this ($$$$). The problem is that I can not install because I have CID 111111 and CR root, bootloader unlocked etc

With s-off you won't brick running an ruu. Though my phone will no longer ruu properly but that's another story. I may post a thread about it in case others experience it so they know how to recover.

Something went wrong while RUUing and my hboot partition cannot be written over without clearing the cache first. So the RUU will get to the end and then fail. Everything flashed except the hboot. It's kind of funny because it looks like a brick when it happens but it remains in RUU mode so I can just fastboot flash the hboot seperately after and everything works but RUUs will no longer complete successfully Always half bricks.
How did it happen? Well I think it's because I was RUUing in a VM as I was running linux exclusively at the time. But during RUU the phone looses connection and I have to manually reconnect to my phone and I didn't realize so it interrupted the RUU. I'm just lucky I didn't end up with a full brick! ^_^

flashing hboot with fastboot won't give you JB......
Is your phone S-ON or S-OFF?
SuperCID? Yes or no?
Bootloader locked or unlocked?

Help with RUU'ing to 2.20

I've been running AOSP ROM's on my evita for a while now, but apparently with the 3.4 kernel you now need hboot 2.14 or higher and mine's at 1.09. My phone was unlocked with S-ON, but I did "fastboot oem lock" this morning because I read that it's necessary for an RUU. I downloaded the 2.20 RUU and tried to run the installer but I always get an Error [170] USB Connection Error. I have the HTC and adb drivers installed successfully and have tried to run the RUU as admin in both Sense and fastboot (bootloader). I'm a bit stumped and would really like to get AOSP back on my phone.

You need to S-off first.

Should I use facepalm for that then?
EDIT
I got s-off, but still no go. Still the error 170.
I know on my old Incredible I was able to rename the rom.zip from the RUU as PB99IMG.zip and put it on the root of my sdcard. Then in hboot it would detect it and ask to flash it. This isn't happening on my evita though. Is there a way to do that, or is that only for older htc devices?

Put phone into fastboot and try again. Check error log to see if it fails to identify your phone.
Open command prompt and type adb devices, if it does not see it then try installing new drivers. If it does see it then enter " adb shell reboot oem-78" that will reboot your phone in to RUU ready fastboot. Open ruu and try running it again.

Where can I find this error log? It did see my device, I did that command (which ended at the black htc screen) and I ran the RUU again but I still get the error 170. I'm also using this RUU http://bugsylawson.com/index.php/fi...320911-2-101053225l-release-271865-signedexe/

It is that size, though I may try the link you gave.
EDIT
Okay, I think I found out what I've been doing wrong. I found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119610 and it turns out that the file I've been trying does NOT include the 2.14 hboot that I need. The one I need is the latest JB release, but someone said that if you flash it with superCID and S-ON that it will brick your device. I have superCID but S-OFF, does anyone think that will brick my device? Should I flash the RUU with the 1.09 hboot (which I'm running) first, and then flash the newest RUU? Also, it looks like the link I provided offers flashable OTA's of each update. Would those work/be recommended for TWRP?

Change cid to cingular "cws_001" I think. Super cid can cause brick.

Well I didn't do that...haha. I read on another forum that TWRP doesn't support that cid check function or something and to just remove it from the updater-script so I tried that and flashed the latest OTA zip in TWRP and it failed after a few steps. I tried booting and it didn't get to the boot animation so I rebooted to recovery and restored my backup. I'm going to try a stock zip without the modified updater-script and restore my CID to normal and try again.
EDIT
Well, I restored the CID to CWS__001 and I still get that check_cid error

Hm, okay then, let me ask another question. I'm on hboot 1.09 and I need 2.14 to run AOSP ROM's now. What's the best way to get there if I already have ROM's installed. Is it what I'm doing right now or should it be something else?

Hi. I am looking my update my hboot from 1.09 to 2.14. I am S-OFF now, also running the Sense 5 rom now(TWRP recovery).
I have downloaded the Latest JB 3.18 RUU from instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064621.
What else do I need to do before flashing the RUU to the device?

For what it's worth, I was on stock 2.20, got s-off and unlocked bootloader with superCID, and ran the 3.18 RUU with no problems. I didn't need to relock or anything.

The RUU will return your phone to completely stock, so of course you will not have root anymore. But, your unlocked bootloader and s-off status will survive the process so all you need to do is flash TWRP again and then you can flash a rooted ROM.

If you aren't on the supported firmware it won't work. So, if that doesn't work for you then I would just leave it S-on. It isn't hard to fastboot flash a boot.img before flashing a rom in recovery.

Maximus HD --- No you need S-off for this. The firmware updates your Hboot, Radio, and you flash a different recovery and finally Rom
You might check out other Rom's that have Sense 5 4.2.2 features. They do not require S-off like Maximus does.

Hi thanks for your reply.
Do you know of any such roms that don't require the s-off?
I installed odyssey, its got no google playstore..suddenly my computer no longer recognizes my sd card / phone.
I tried adb push, managed to get a stock orang001 tmobile uk package to the root folder, but when i turn off the mount, it says its bad..which is a little odd.
Seems thought I got odyssey installed / flashed etc, its so bare as its practically useless to me unless i have google, plus its got weird glitches on boot up, taking forever, always booting into the developers screen etc.

With Odyssey you have to flash slim gapps after you install the rom.
Your Sd card (partition) may be corrupted, the way to fix that is to put the stock recovery back on your phone then go to bootloader and "clear storage"
All of the other Roms don't require S-off, MagioRom is being actively developed with the sense 5 and 4.2.2.

I tried Maximus with CWM, did i using sideload and them flash the boot.img file. but it was a disaster as my device didn't connect to wifi and had some call drops then I tried flashing twrp and then sideloaded magicrom 4.0 and flas boot.img, it looks lot better now but only issue right now is my phone keeps on rebooting and am still waiting for a stable rom to be released.

I read MagioRom comments and they say with that ROM phone reboots a lot. So I think the only way is with MaximusHD. The WiFi problem I think it can be fixed. I don't know about the call drops, but many have this ROM as daily use so I guess it's ok. I will try S-off with moonshine method, then try install Maximus. Hope my phone survives.

Can't S-Off for the life of me

Hey guys,
I have an HTC One X with the bootloader unlocked that has Venom Viper installed on it and I want to S-OFF the phone so that I can install the beast mode kernel. I want to do this because the phone has some issues like a dropping SIM card and random reboots. I have another friend with the same phone that I installed Viper on and she had the same issues. I over the phone talked her through the S-OFF method and once we finally got it and installed the kernel the phone worked perfectly.
One thing that was odd is that the method (FacePalm) wasn't working until we flashed the phone back to stock (not a backup but a stock release with a flashable SU bin that was on XDA somewhere). Once we did that the phone was S-OFF after rebooting into the bootloader.
This time around though I'm starting to wonder whether the fact it worked when we flashed back to stock was a coincidence because I did the SAME EXACT THING with this current phone, flashed to the same stock rom with the same method of SU, and it just won't work. I run through the whole process and get no errors (except when you are supposed to) and when I reboot into recovery it is not S-OFF. One thing I noticed though is that on another site it said "The last step is to confirm the SU request you get on your phone". I cannot remember if my friend got a popup but on this phone I never get one.
Therfore I am thinking the problem is with the flashable SU bin not working properly and was going to ask if anyone had their hands on a prerooted stock. There is a thread for one on here but the link is dead.
So basically does anyone have such a rom or know anything about the S-OFF method only working with stock or odex/deodex or something of that sort.
Thanks.

OK so I just tried flashing the stock rom I tried for S-OFF before and even flashed the boot.img and its still boot looping.
It pisses me off that the security system has to be this obnoxious. I'm used to my own samsung phones where theres barely any security and bricking is practically impossible with Odin.

It isn't obnoxious if you know what you're doing. You're s-on so you must flash the boot.img for each ROM every time you flash a ROM. Install ROM, reboot to bootloader, flash boot.img, reboot to system. Once you have s-off you will no longer need to do this. Are you flashing the right boot.img?

Ok well, I changed ONE simple thing that I would think wouldn't matter, but apparently it does. Instead of rebooting after the rom flashing and then during the boot loop holding vol down and power to get into bootloader again, AND THEN flashing the boot.img, I simply hit home in twrp after flashing the room and used the "reboot" function to go directly to boot loader and then flashed the boot.img
The phone now got past the developer warning screen and is showing the htc one beats audio screen. However it now seems to be frozen there :|
This is the rom I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181891
It is a step further at least, and now that I see how to properly flash the boot.img I will try a few other roms and see if they work any better, unless you have any other suggestions.

It looks as though you've done it correctly. Which recovery version are you using?

2.6.3.0

Are you certain you're flashing the boot.img from the ROM you've just installed and not another one by mistake? TWRP 2.6.3 should be ok, but you could try 2.6 instead if you want to, I've seen a couple of bugs on 2.6.3 but I can't remember what they were.
