I've bought a new T-Mobile HTC One S recently and after installing bootloader and rooting it, I've noticed that the phone came with 4.0.4 and not 4.1.1.
Will the phone preform better with 4.1.1? Would I have to do all the bootloader unlocking and the rooting?
You can either:
A. unroot and the OTA update
B. since you are already rooted, make a Nandroid backup and flash a Sense based ROM such as Viper (android 4.1.1)

Thanks for the tip about Viper. still haven't got to check out the current available ROM's.
I was just wondering if there are major problems with the stock 4.1.1 like with the battery on the previous update.
Its better overall in my opinion. Only prob for me is that the audio pops when you play it for the first time in recently inserted headphones. Other than that, smoother and better. Don't know about battery

So I just got this phone 2 weeks ago. I am familiar with rooting and running a custom ROM. I want CM10 Jelly Bean. From what I've been reading on here though is that there's no secure method of doing so with this update installed. Can anyone advise me, or point me in the direction to achieve this properly and safely?

If you are on 2.2 and you never unlocked the bootloader you're stuck until a way to root 2.20 is found.
Even if you do get rooted and bootloader unlocked, you won't get LTE. There's some weird bug where LTE breaks if you flash from 4.0.4. You need to flash from 4.0.3 or earlier to get LTE.

Hello,
I am running One XL 4.0.3, the NON-ROGERS/AT&T VERSION, its the Asia version, i just received that i can upgrade to 4.0.4, but idk that if i can still get rooted if i upgraded to 4.0.4(or later on 4.1).
P.S.: I don't want to go for the official Bootloader Unlock.
Thanks.
Depends what version of 4.0.3 you're running...
Go to Settings, About, Software Info, More, Build number.

i would just do htcdev unlock, i assume u know what you are doing and i assume htc will honor anything that isnt from an idiot flashing the wrong thing. so just do an htcdev unlock.
I don't want to lose my warranty... (in case of any screen damage, etc)
I have ROOTED, running of 4.0.3, but i know that i will lose my root when i upgrade to 4.0.4, and i am wondering if i still can root my phone on 4.0.4(without htcdev.com)

Yes there is a way although we need to know your exact software version (1.73,1.85,1.93). If you have the right version somewhere in the development section there is a method.

Now, i've tried to downgrade my ROM back to 1.77.708.3, but it fails.
Any one have solutions?

Flash the boot.IMG first through fast boot then flash the ROM.
Also rooting will void your warranty. Once the phone is unlocked it will be "tampered"

Hello.
I recently updated my HTC ONE XL to 4.1.1. I have never rooted/flashed my phone so it was all done standard through Telstra.
I want to revert to the previous firmware, if I have to erase all my data then so be it (even though I don't want to). Reason being is, my WiFi quit working (I sort of fixed it), my videos won't play half the time & the phone feels WAY more clunky now.
Maybe it's time I learn about flashing/rooting?
Thanks!
If you are bootloader unlocked you can flash any firmware meant for our device.
If you aren't BL unlocked, you cannot revert to an older firmware by official means.

Well only on 3.17x roms until patches are posted for Telstra users
I just got a replacement HTC One from Tmo and have been debating on whether to root or not. I haven't upgraded to the jb yet and my biggest issue with my last One S was the loss of Wifi. I tried to downgrade the hboot but that only ever caused problems. Does anyone know if the JB update from tmo and rooting doesn't cause the wifi issues. Or if anyone can help me with these issues id greatly appreciate it
Don't think the jb ota has been released in the states..at least not in Texas

I don't know if the JB update from Tmo is different from the WWE which I have installed, but the first thing I did when it came out was to revert my One S to stock ICS and stock recovery and fetch the JB update. Afterwards I rooted it. I've never had any problems with wifi, but my One S is unbrandeded and I really don't know what Tmo implement in their roms.
Well from what I've for to understand when you updated with tmo ota for ics is changed the hboot. And I couldn't downgradeit back

Hello,
My HTC One X is running android 4.0.3. I notice that Jelly Bean came out today and I never got the OTA for the 4.0.4. When I go to AT&T Sfotware Update, and it searches and goes back to the Check for Updates button. Is there any way I can update it without doing a factory reset?
Thanks for your help!
Don't update, supercid + ota = brick
P.S. Why would you want the att update? It will still be crappies than a custom rom.
Also, jelly bean is 4.1+

No, I'm saying the I am still on 4.0.3. I never got the 4.0.4 update. Any help would be nice. Thanks.

Do the 2.20 ruu then do the ota
So the only way to get 4.0.4 is through computer, right?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
If it's not shwoing up on your phone then yes you have to manually do it..but I suggest you root and flash the stock rooted ota but if not I'd be happy to help you ruu to 2.20
