Hello Guys
I've been trying desperately to update my AT&T One X but I just cant.
This is the story:
I have a SIM Unlocked AT&T, bootloader locked, unrooted device that was bought in the US and I use it in Mexico with Telcel carrier. I tried to update it to Jelly Bean through the AT&T software updates option but I always got the service unavailable message and after a little research I found that since I was not on the AT&T Network it won't recognize it thus won't upgrade.
I started to look around for information on how to upgrade. This is what I have done so far but still no success:
First, I downloaded the official RUU 3.18 from the HTC website. After a couple of minutes I got an error Message 158 - Image Error. I am pretty sure I was using the Evita - Cingular - US version so it doesn't make any sense.
So I downloaded the OTA in a Zip file, renamed it to update.zip, Still no success.
I unlocked the bootloader, tried RUU and OTA but no success.
Rooted the phone, no success.
I found out that RUU with CID 1111111 and S-ON can brick my phone, before knowing this I had already tried it but nothing happened, same error 158.
I installed clockworkmod and made a backup, and it has been very helpful.
I tried then to install the ZIP for the OTA through ClockWorkMod in recovery but also get an error message and won't install it.
I have OS version 1.73, so I checked that can't upgrade directly to 3.18. Tried to upgrade to ver 1.85 with no success, both RUU and OTA, RUU gives me error 155 - Unknown. I tried this RUU with and without HTC Sync and still the same, tried OTA with the Bootloader Relocked and no success.
I tried to flash a stock rom with Jelly Bean through ClockWorkMod, successfully did it but after that the phone just keep restarting, showing the HTC Quietly brilliant splash screen and restart again.
I flashed only the radio to see if after this it could install the OTA but didn-t work
I restored and recovered my phone and I-m still here, with an outdated version of the OS.
Tried to look for updates directly on the phone with a code that will make a Check In service to google OTA Checkers with no success.
Any other advises, tips, tricks or something that can help me out?
This is what I have after trying almost everything:
*** TAMPERED ***

S-OFF first (sticky in original android dev section)
Then Run the AT&T 3.18 RUU exe file. There's a few links in the RUU part of redpoints resource compilation thread. There's a link in my signature.
Let me know if you have more questions.

You can download RUU's and OTA's from HTC support to update your phone officially, as long as it hasn't been modified.

But this is AT&T phone that my friend brought from US. We unlocked it in India and now when I am trying to see the update software it says service is unavailable. I think it requires AT&T service to upgrade. Can you please help if I can update officially from HTC website.

That's exactly what I said, you need to go to the HTC support page and download all of the appropriate RUU's and/or OTA's there and flash them manually.

If the phone hasn't been modified, the chances are very low. There are rare instances of official OTAs and RUUs bricking unmodified devices. Possibly due to corrupt file when updating hboot. But its pretty rare.

Trying Downloading HTC Super Tool v3(In this thread somewhere) and try its option for S-off using Gfree,Do remember to prep(ZergRush Method preffered) before attempting S-OFF
Super Tool doesn't work.... I already try it...
Then you can try the official htc bootloader unlock tool,Altough it wont be S-Off,but everything except Sim-lock and Radio will be unlocked,allowing you to root,flash custom roms & recoveries & kernels etc...

I already done it! I need to S-OFF and get Super CID, because i want to install Official Rom but for another region! I get phone with HTC_044 region - it's ASIA, and this rom don't have Russian Lang... So i want to install another RUU for some region where i will have Russian Lang, that i need!
you can do that unless the RUU's software version is not lower....

But i can't install it. I get - Error 155... Why?
I don't know which error stands for which so I can't tell the reason.
I also want to make it S-Off , but i need it coz sim unlock
So would be nice to see any solution for it

Hello forum, this is my first post. I'm no pro and this is my 2nd android. my uncle brought it from UK to Bangladesh. may be it was in contract with Vodafone because I see a Vodafone splash screen and some Vodafone apps in application manager. I don't like them as because I'm not using Vodafone here. now can anyone please give some links where I can find way to install fresh OS without Vodafone (may be you call it unbranded RUU). I prefer Indian RUU to get local font support. I'll be very glad if someone answers. my "Volume down+Power button"

If you're not worried about warranty, I would strongly recommend a custom ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601
Use this to help you, it contains many guides and ask any questions if you need to.
However, if you do want to flash a RUU, here are a list of RUU's. I can see one for HTC India there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
Also I believe you would need to create a goldcard to flash an unbranded RUU for HTC India. Here is a good guide from Paul O Brien

thank you.
about the 1st link:I'll install custom Rom after a few days because I'm still enjoying the shiny sense 3.0.
about the 2nd link:I've seen that sticky post but couldn't download Asia_India so I downloaded Asia_WWE. but the thing is what is the process. do I have to revolutionary s-off or root my phone? and most importantly will I get the official OTA updates after flashing the stock Rom? I'm more interested about flashing stock Rom. so if you please give the procedure.
about the 3rd link:I'll creat a goldcard ASAP.
With the goldcard use mmc2 not mmc1 as the guide suggested. I.e. change the 1 to a 2 in the adb command.
If you want to get ota's you have to be stock, if you attempted down the line to install an ota on a rooted/altered phone its your own stupidity to blame, and many have done it.
Good stuff on making the goldcard, can't stress it enough how important it can be especially for novices.

You don't need S-OFF or root to flash a RUU. However, it doesn't matter if you do either.
The RUU is an .exe file so run it on your computer and it becomes pretty self explanatory. Also thanks to fox2delta for clarifying that.

as per dan-fish's post I don't need rooting for installing stock ROM. will i get the OTAs if I do it without rooting? I know I'm being too much conservative,but as I'm out of warranty so I want to be sure before taking the step.

and btw,same question to you too,if I install stock ROM without rooting then will I get OTA?

If you're using the RUU then you should get OTA's and you'll want to keep your bootloader locked.
You can also go down the custom ROM road but i'm not sure about functionality with indian font.

1) you mean Sim - unlocked right? In that case it won't get locked even if you update the phone software.
2)First and important step is using the search function and I known its very hard for you but once in a while try using the search function, trust me you won't get tired

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't know how to do that. I guess I'll hold off 4.0.4 for now...
You need to read some more, before running things willy-nilly without the proper research.
I would advise against running the 2.20 RUU. As I already mentioned, it updates the hboot, which robs you of the ability to flash kernels and radios. There is no upside to it, since you can flash the ROM in other ways. Your phone is bootloader unlocked, and has full ability to flash kernels and radios. These are all good things. Don't take a step backward by flashing the 2.20 RUU.
If all you want is to update the ROM to 2.20, just flash the pre-rooted ROM (which will not replace the hboot): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812459
But in fact, these are more recent versions:

Ya know, you guys CAN extract the rom.zip from 2.2x ruu and pull each image and flash them individually to get the 2.2x updates and keep your unlocked 1.09 hboot intact. That way you dont have to do the kernal flashing and what not. It will be fully updated, sbl's, radio everything.:beer:

Thanks a lot guys. I should have done some research. I bought this phone second hand thinking "unlocked" meant I could use it on other networks --didn't know the previous owner meant he unlocked the bootloader...hahaha...I guess i'll do some research to relock it.

No need to relock it. Just run one of the stock rooted or custom ROMs in Development. Flash a new radio if you want.

I just got the phone a couple of days ago and i am still waiting on my t-mobile non-gba micro sim that i ordered online, now im really not sure anymore if its unlocked to other networks...
I won't know til that sim card gets here, but in the mean time i'll do some reading on all those stuff you mentioned =)

An AT&T phone won't get the updates unless it's on their network it seems. Just download the ruu

Bump. I unlocked my Rogers One X a while back, because I am planning on selling it. Since that time though, I have run an RUU on it. I no longer have another carrier's SIM card to test, so I just want to know if the unlock is permanent , or if it gets relocked when an RUU or factory reset is run.
The SIM unlock is permanent and will survive any RUU or factory reset.

My friend and I are having problems unlocking his HTC One X. we've tried various tutorials and followed many threads but have had no luck. We've tried the One_X_ATT_All_In_Kit_v2.1.1, Root-one-x and OneXRootOneClick with no luck. The bootloader will not unlock, we kept getting an error code 160 and MID not allowed. So no Unlock_Bin was generated. It has been upgraded to 4.1 via the AT&T update.

I believe, via the all in one toolkit, we were able to get the CID to change to 111111, but only after a few tries. I'll have to check back with him if it indeed did change.
So what you guys are saying, is unless somebody finds a way to crack JB, there is no way to unlock the bootloader/root?
Is it not possible to run the RUU that would place him back to the android and hboot he had before? (Don't know if it was ICS or what it was)

So what you guys are saying, is unless somebody finds a way to crack JB, there is no way to unlock the bootloader/root?
Is it not possible to run the RUU that would place him back to the android and hboot he had before? (Don't know if it was ICS or what it was)

Can't run a ruu for older firmware without s-off.
But if you actually achieved supercid, you should be able to unlock, root, and s-off.
Are you positive about that? Because I was able to run an older RUU on my HTC Evo 3d, and got the phone to an older firmware without S-Off..
We'll have to check for sure on the CID and report back when we can.

Different phone. Newer ruu's check for hboot versions. Won't work on this one.
I was wondering if someone could help me? ... I recently acquired a Telstra Htc One XL and am having troubles trying to update.
Current stats
android 4.1.1
sense 4+
software 3.17.841.2
EVITA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
*****locked*****
CID-11111111
HBOOT 2.14.0000
RADIO- 0.23a.32.09.29
I'm 99.9% sure most testra one xl's are up to 4.2.2 with sense 5 which is i think two updates in front of mine
can anyone shed some light on my situation?
When you say you're having trouble updating what exactly do you mean?

His profile says he is
Yeah, but still needed to check. Have you thought about re-unlocking your bootloader? It's been modified in the past which might have something to do with your update problem. If you unlock your bootloader you'll be able to install a custom recovery and then you can install whatever ROM you like. We have the stock Telstra Sense 5 Android 4.2.2 ROM in our development section. We also have a few other Sense 5 ROMs to choose from, ranging from stock to tweaked.

The thing is that it hasnt been messed with.I got the phone from a HTC rep that i know ... he had it in his draw for over six months ...I just wanted the stock update but maybe rooting might be the easier way
It definitely has been messed with, phones that are s-off and have SuperCID don't come out of the factory like that. Somewhere along the way someone has done those alterations to the device.
There is just one problem I've realised, your phone has a SuperCID of 11111111 which has been blocked by htcdev. You're s-off though so you can actually change that as many times as you like using fastboot. If you want to unlock your phone you'll need to change it to 22222222 using the following fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 22222222
You can then check the new CID by using this command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
Once that's done you can go to htcdev and go through with the unlock bootloader process.
In order to do the above process you will need to install adb/fastboot and HTC drivers.

No problem ... thanks for that ....I have rooted my one x before HTC_023 fairly basic but my mate swears that the phone came straight from HTC as a Tell us what you think before we send you more kind of thing .. Cheers for the info ...
Actually one more thing ... is it possible to do a RUU update with this to 4.2.2?
There is no RUU for 4.2.2, the only way is to run an earlier RUU and take OTA updates to get there. Since you can't get the OTA I guess that isn't an option though.

Within 30 minutes drive from me no doubt
Supercid and s-off from factory or not still means you are off the official path.
Things I might do:
fastboot oem writecid TELST001
Then try the OTA again
or
RUU back to 1.89.841.9 as a RUU exists for that, then ota forwards to 5.06.841.1
or
Unlock bootloader
Flash Turges 5.08 firmware zip and then take one of the Sense 5 ROMs. There is a stock Telstra ROM even.
PS nag the HTC rep for a more recent RUU, eg 2.40.841.4, 3.17.841.2, 3.17.841.9 or 5.06.841.1 and share with us

He has s-off does he need a token or even need to unlock at all?
I have often wondered the same thing, but I've been assuming that in order to flash TWRP recovery you need an unlocked bootloader.
It's nice to see a few Aussies on here by the way, I'm in Melbourne myself.

My phone from an att employee came s-off and with a locked boot loader as well. It just looks like that's how HTC and att do it.
