Hi guys,
As you can see in the title, it's impossible for me to upgrade my HTC One X to Android 4.2.2.
I recently relocked the bootloader, to hopefully succesfully upgrade my HTC One X JB 4.2.2 OTA update..
When I boot the phone, I get the notification that the update is ready to be installed, since it has already been downloaded.
When I tap "Install update", my phone turns off and immediately boots into fastboot, without being connected with a usb to the computer or so.
My question is;
How can it be that everytime I try to install the update, my phone boots into fastboot (bootloader)?
Thanks in advance
You don't have stock recovery installed?
Ota on modified phones is risky.
Are you on the correct stock ROM, correct firmware, s-off and supercid?
I would not attempt ota unless it was after ruu.

How do I RUU exactly? I don't know what s-off means, and supercid or something. Could you give some further explain, please?

What ROM were you on when you tried to use the OTA?
If you don't know what SuperCID, RUU, and s-off mean I would strongly suggest you do some research before attempting to do anything else to your phone. Trying these things without a proper understanding could lead to you bricking your phone.

It's just crazy, because I'm on my stock rom.. Can it be possible it's because of the root files which are still in a file somewhere on my phone..??

It's not that crazy, while you may have been on a stock ROM, having SuperCID and s-on while running an update are a sure fire way for something to go wrong.
But, if you don't have the stock recovery installed (you still have TWRP/CWM) it just won't work. Simply relocking the bootloader won't achieve anything. You need to make sure you have the stock recovery, but before all that you need to check your s-on/s-off status, and your CID.
Or you could just flash the stock 4.2.2 ROM that's in our development section, it's gonna be exactly the same as doing this update but without any of the hassle.

Okay, so my CID is:
(bootloader) DEBUG: cid: HTC__E11
OKAY [ 0.106s]
finished. total time: 0.107s
I read somewhere that I have to change it to 1111111 to achieve SuperCID?
And I'm currently S-ON:
(ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL)
Ok well you're in the wrong forum then, this is the Evita forum. You have Endeavor so you'll want to find the HTC One X forum and ask again there, we have no experience with your phone here unfortunately so we can't really help you.

That might be true, but are you experienced with his device and fully aware of any quirks that exist? I can tell you now that not even all the people who have our phone are aware of the quirks that exist for their own device.

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

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! ^_^

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/
Sounds like a bad download. Is it 568.22 mbs? Try roomyshare.com/ruu-evita-ul-cingular.html

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?
EDIT
The latest JB RUU is picking up my device now and offering the update, 2 seconds away from doing it....

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.

You can go ahead and run the RUU. No real risk because you're s-off. Maybe make a backup though.

Hi,
My battery has been acting up for almost half a year now and my usage time is half of what it was when i got it. I have been installing several different ROMs and kernels so I am at a lost on what's wrong. So I have decided to install a RUU to see if a total reset can fix my phone.
I found this page: http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Ville
Does anybody know which RUU from the link is the newest/best? Will I get updates from HTC when I do this?
Currently running trickdroid 10.3.2, bricked kernel, twrp 2.3.3, S-OFF and superCID - is there anything in particular I should know before doing this?
I have never installed a RUU before, hope somebody can help
anyone? Or perhaps just a part answer

Choose RUU according to your CID.
Must restore original CID to avaoid having problems with OTA updates.
If you receive OTA updates with superCID, a brick is going to welcome you.

Ok so i am in a similar fix.
I obtained S-Off/superCID the very next day i got my One S .. things were running smooth on stock. Looked out for some ROMS and finally installed one. Now I want to revert to my stock ROM while maintaining S-off/root. My problem is only that i don't find this ROM stable or the kernel .. just want to revert to stock.
Live in Pakistan, hence i doubt OTA is going to ever cause me any trouble. Could you please recommend which RRU should i install?
Would really appreciate some help from a fellow countryman

Yes, you're right. Latest 4.2.2 Custom ROMs are having some bugs at the moment.
I need to know some details before I recommend anything.

2. CID & MID (CID getter from play store will tell you that)
3. Last Stock firmware you had/installed?
4. HBOOT version?

Also, I'll need to know MID (Model ID). You can find it out via CID GETTER. When you open the app search for the line [ro.aa.modelid]: PJxxxxxxx that's the model ID

Ok. I deem this RUU to be the most suitable for you, which is Here.
Just run the RUU and it will do the job for you.
A word or two of caution here:
1. The RUU will erase everything.
2. After the RUU, you might want to change your CID back to HTC__001 because it has been rumored that HTC will release JellyBean 4.2.2 + Sense 5 for the One S. If you update the ONE S via OTA with SUPERCID, you will brick your device.
And anyway, SuperCID is not necessary at all for flashing Custom ROMs.
3. You will lose the Root for sure. But you can flash custom recovery + SuperSU again after going stock.
Edit: Oh! and match the MD5 hash of the downloaded file and the one on the server. MD5 checking utility is on XDA somewhere.
Edit 2: The CID in all cases comprises of 8 characters. i.e HTC__001 (8 chars), BM___001 (8 chars, my CID) etc. So when changing the CID, be sure to have an 8 character CID.

Will follow your instructions. I was following a guide (All in one tool kit for ONE S) to achieve S-OFF for rooting and following that procedure the CID was reset as well. Not sure whether i can achieve S-OFF without meddling with the CID .... This being my first HTC after SGS and SGS2.

For all I have read, the reason for going after S-Off to begin with is essentially to gain capability to flash customer roms. I feel sorry for being a consistent bother, but could you please guide me towards a thread where I can learn rooting without messing with S-Off ...

haha... Yes..
Well the All-in-One-Toolkit by Hasoon2000 is the one you have to follow. But no S-OFFing/SuperCID.
You just need the bootloader unlocked to get Rooted/Custom ROM/Recovery.
Since you have already unlocked the bootloader, I think it's not necessary to use the AIO toolkit again.
What we need is this:
- Run the RUU. (Run it first, and if it gives you errors, you might need to Relock your bootloader which is quite simple).
[For the latter part] - Then if you want to Root you stock ROM, we will have to flash custom Recovery, which again is quite simple and can be flashed from fastboot. I'll guide you on this part later when you are stock again. No biggy.

AOA Orak,
I installed the RUU and am back to stock now. Using the toolkit installed TWRP S4 recovery but when i try to go into recovery a red triangle with an exclamation mark appears; the phone stays with it for a while and then reboots to normal desktop. Tried it a number of times with the same result. Since i am unable to go into recovery, i cannot flash the supersu.zip and thus no root :/ Should I go for CWM?

Ok so i figured it out in the meanwhile .. I had locked the bootloader before running the RUU. Unlocked it, installed recovery and flashed SU successfully.
So now I have two questions:
1- Do i need to re-lock the bootloader? If yes, will I still be able to flash custom roms?
2- How do i revert my original CID value? Will 'fastboot writecid HTC__001' do the trick? Are there any pre-requisites for it?

- Okay before anything, i would advise to flash TWRP 2.3.3.0 recovery and you will avoid many issues currently being faced with 2.5.0.0.
You can find 2.3.3.0 Here.
If you need help on flashing, ask away.
- now your questions:
1. No and No
2. You have to boot into bootloader and then go into FASTBOOT and write the command
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
BTW, I assume you have adb+fastboot files on your PC?

Hi everyone,
This is my very first post and I'll admit I am a NOOB.
As I've searched XDA and Google for my questions, I am really at a loss and thought I would pose my question(s) to the community.
I have a Rogers HTC One X(Evita) running CM 10.0, I am currently S-ON, with TWERP 2.3.1
I would like to install the latest CM but it would seem my HBOOT (1.11) needs to be upgraded.
My first question is if my CID is Roger001 is this similar to being SuperCID?
If so, which firmware is recommended? Which is the latest HBOOT I should upgrade to?
I guess this brings me to my next question, what exactly do I need to be able to upgrade my HBOOT?
I've seen a few walkthroughs but none mention Roger001 as CID and I'd rather not risk bricking my phone.
If you need any other information, please let me know.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
You definitely need to update your phone in order to flash the latest cm ROM. But, with your phone in its current state you'll brick it. You don't have SuperCID (11111111), you'll definitely need to get that first, then get s-off, then you can RUU up to the latest. Links to everything you need are in this thread.

Thanks Tim.
I'll give that a whirl and let you know how it turns out.
Another silly question, what exactly is RUU?
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
RUU stands for ROM Update Utility. It basically takes your phone back to being completely stock, including recovery. The beauty of being s-off when you run an RUU is the s-off status survives the process, and so will your unlocked bootloader. So all you need to do when it's finished is flash TWRP again via fastboot, then flash your ROM via TWRP.

Ahh
That makes perfect sense!
If I wanted to stay stock, I could?

Yeah there's nothing stopping you. Then if you change your mind it's as simple as following the steps I mentioned before.

I haven't had a chance to try anything as of yet but I've been doing some reading, could I use the One X Att all-in-one kit 3.0.1 to obtain SuperCID as well S-Off?
I tried another apparently popular program yesterday but it didn't work, as my CID is still Roger001.
Thanks!

Yeah you might as well try anything you can to get it done.

Hey timmaa,
Just wanted to say thanks for the help!
I managed to get CID 11111111, as well as S-OFF.
I've just relocked and I am currently downloading the Rogers stock RUU, with that comes HBoot 2.14 and the latest CM!
Thanks again:good::laugh:
Spoke too soon.. :S

So, I flashed that latest Rogers RUU using ARUWizard, everything looked to be okay, as now I am now on H-Boot 2.14.
However, I cant boot into anything..
For some reason, when it tries to boot up it shows the CyanogenMod logo when loading but nothing.
Windows recognizes my phone and tries to install new drivers but fails.
I can boot into the bootloader but when I hit recover, the screen goes black and then after awhile a red ! with a phone beneath it shows up.
Any ideas anyone?

Ok, firstly you didn't need to relock your bootloader to run the RUU because you have s-off. And what exactly is aruwizard? And how did you flash CM after you ran the RUU?

I followed the steps from the link you gave me, under the RUU section, as there was a guide on how to install an RUU for Rogers HTC One X.
It said to relock the phone, so, I did.
ARWizard was part of the guide.
The weird thing is, I didn't flash CM, I flashed the Rogers RUU, so, I'm not even sure how CM10 is even on my phone.
I can get to the Bootloader but I can't launch TWERP and my windows PC now doesn't recognize my phone, it says installing drivers but never does. I had HTC Sync installed in hopes that it would help, it didn't.
Is my only option to do a Factory Reset in Hboot? I've read ill lose all my info on the SD card.
Thanks
Which RUU did you run? Something has gone wrong.

I went to this site to get the Stock image:

I really do appreciate the help, by the way.
I'm not familiar with that method, but it seems to me that it doesn't do a full RUU. And evidently it hasn't because you still have cm on your phone. What hboot version does your phone list in bootloader now? You could just run the at&t 3.18 RUU which will do the whole job. You're s-off so it should be fine.

I am 2.14 HBOOT and S-off.
The problem is that while my Windows PC recognizes my phone, it doesnt load the drivers and therefore, I cant send any ADB commands.
I am not even able to go into TWERP.
How will I be able to run the AT&T if I cant push any ADB commands from my PC?
You don't need any adb commands to run an RUU, but you do need the pc to recognize the phone. I'd try uninstalling all drivers, then installing them again to see if it helps.

Ota is not the same as aruwizard zip. Aru zip is exactly the same as Rom.zip you find inside ruu files, evita ones get the name pj83img.
Not sure why everyone thinks ota is ruu, nowhere is it refered to as being the same thing.
Maybe the firmware.zip in the ota managed to flash though hence your hboot and other firmware was upgraded.
If you follow the "or" method for flashing the zip it actually should work. The better correct answer is once s-off to download/install the latest ruu available that you want and ota up from there.

That's what I thought, but if he has used this aru zip, it's had the opposite effect. He now has the upgraded hboot but the previous ROM is still intact.

Thanks guys.
I'll try uninstalling the phone drivers and reinstall them, hopefully, it'll allow my PC to see my phone.
Worse case scenario, if my computer doesn't load the drivers for my phone, what are my options?
What if I select factory reset from HBOOT?
I've been trying to acquire S-off, and seeing that I have hboot 2.15, it seems as though I can only moonshine (according to all the threads I've read)
My phone had a CID of Globa001, but I've been told that anything from Canada can be flashed as an ruu, so I flashed Telus001, which is supported by moonshine. Not much surprise but it didn't work.
However, I also flashed Globalive's zip and that itself didn't work either... I got a 12 signature fail.
Is there anything else I can try to achieve s-off? Or will I be stuck as s-on forever...

Rum runner did the trick. It's almost a one click process.
I also made a site for rooting. It's in my signature if you want more info

I want to restore my phone back to stock. I mentioned my CID because that's why you require to select your RUU right? I'm unable to find the RUU for this particular CID so I thought I'd mention it anyway.
I did read up supercid and how it lets you flash any ruu, how can that be done?
Thanks in advance!

I believe you just go through the same procedure with global Cid but you can pick any ruu. Just find the one for globalive (it's an old one) and follow instructions on xda. Again I don't have too much info on this so I can't help much :/
