Hey guys I have a question about this new firmware possibly being released in September. I am all about updating and making my phone up to date, but coming from the LG G2 i have some fear in this. For the G2 if i wanted to update anything..firmware and all I could flash in the custom recovery, but from reading on here I would need to do it through adb. Well question i am told from digital that his GPE will no be affected or broken if I dont update or update. Does this include all aosp roms, and GPE roms?

Yes it does. I totally understand your caution for updating firmware. If you are s-off then you have no worries when it comes to updating the firmware, you will still be s-off after updating. Being s-off you can downgrade the firmware as well if you want.

No it wont affect aosp. Someone will end up posting a firmware only zip that you can flash via fastboot. This will be the easiest way to get updated because you won't have to ruu to get the ota.

You have to ruu back to stock. Supercid stock, relock bootloader.why not just flash one of the stock roms in the dev section. As of now I dont even think there is a root exploit for 3.18 base

Im running the latest viper xl Rom and love it, u never said what hboot you are on. Anything 1.14 and up needs to have a boot image flashed separate. I think viper will flash the boot image for you though. If you need help with that let me know but u really should read more and you will figure this out quick enough

"Because it is new and is from their Carrier" so people will think they need to flash it
Lol lucky he didn't brick or corrupt hboot . There is a version of that here in android to use instead of ota btw
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
To the OP:
-When you take an ota, it tries to reboot to recovery. You have a custom recovery installed, but you have to have stock recovery to install an official update.
-You can flash this thing you downloaded, but it has to be renamed update.zip and moved to the root directory. Then you've got to run a ruu to get stock recovery back on.
-If you have s-on and superCID, installing this OTA will brick your phone.
-The 3.18 ota contains some firmware updates and a new hboot that aren't included in JB roms. But if your phone is running fine, you don't need these.
-You're better off just flashing a JB rom until you understand more about how your phone works.
Hello, there is new update for the S3 device! I've updated and the problem with the camera and the speakers are solved!
Also I think that the music crackling is fixed also!

Well you need to unlock bootlader, you can do that with official htc website, then you need to root your phone and flash custom recovery. After that you can do nandorid backup in custom recovery. All the information you need is here.

You can try with this tool, it suppose to work on all devices even with unlocked bootlader and unrooted phone.
just updated my phone too. i didn't even know that there was some issues with the camera and the speakers. my phone is having problems with some evil demons inside it, i only hope that this update exorcised it!!!!
isn't there some release notes for this update, so that we know what are the improvements and what bugs were fixed?
it's probably the bugs that are inside stock jellybean . someone back it up so we could use the update copy of the jellybean stock rom but for the hboot 2.11 like me we will have a slight problem dude the different hboot

Hi guys, i have a problem with my HTC ONE XL. Since it does not have forum for that phone and it is indentical as ONE X i will write it here and hope you guys will help .
So this is the thing, i buy a phone from e-bay and when it came it was already rooted. It has Android version 4.0.4 and sense version 4.0. I know that is old and i want to update to newest android version. When i enter software updates he find me update but it cant be installed. I am kinda new to this rooted devices, but can you just explain to me how to update to newest android version if that is possible.
I bought the cellphone from Hong Kong.

You're in the right forum, this is the HTC One XL forum. You can't install official updates on a modified phone. Do you want to install official updates or do you want to install a custom ROM? They are very different methods.

Need bootloader details (first 5 lines in bootloader) before we can help at all. This will tell us whether the device is s-on of s-off, SuperCID, hboot version, etc.
Also, do you know how to get into recovery, and what recovery (TWRP or CWM) and version number.
Don't update anything until we tell you to. Its possible to brick the device without proper knowledge at this point.
Ok here are the details you asked:

So it won't go into recovery, when you select recovery from the hboot menu?
Also, you didn't answer timmaaa's question about whether you want to install an official update, or to install a custom ROM.
Oh yes it enter Clokworkmod v5.8.3.1
I would like lastest official update for this phone, but do you guys think that is better solution? Are custom better then official?

Which is "better" is a personal choice, and we can't make that choice for you. Also, there are custom ROMs that are close to stock, but clean of bloatware and with some other optimizations.
Whether you pick official firmware or a custom ROM is up to you. But you are already setup for flashing custom ROMs, so that would just be a matter of picking one (or try a couple) that look good, putting them on the SD and flashing in custom recovery.
The reason your phone will not install the latest official update, is that the OTA needs to have stock recovery to install (and you have custom recovery installed). If you want to be on official firmware, its probably best to find the latest RUU for your carrier, run the RUU. Then OTA to the latest update.
Tnx for everything man, i looked for custom ROM and i decided that might be better then officiall update. It have newest android version and sense 5.0 so i think i am going to use custom.
But all of them are look the same... Can you recommend some good ones because you are experienced on that field and i am total newbie. TNX
I don't know about redpoint but I would say that it all depends on what you want. If you want stock sense 5 att experience go with cleanrom 7. If you want almost every mod imaginable go with viper xl 4.2.0 then there are other roms that are in between. There are 2 stock ROMs as well as one ported ROM. Depends on prefrances. 2 things to know though. If you want sense 5 you need to run 3.18 ruu and upgrade the hboot to 2.15. then get the latest recovery of your choice.

Asking for a ROM recommendation isn't allowed, to say one ROM is better infers that others are inferior in some way. This isn't fair to the devs who spend their spare time bringing us these ROMs free of charge. I know @phonegeekjr has already recommended one but he shouldn't have. It's up to the user to have a look through the ROMs that are available and make a choice.
You do need to run the 3.18 RUU though, and then flash the 2.15 firmware package in order for any Sense 5 ROM to run without signal loss or random reboots.

You want to install the entire 2.15 firmware package to run Sense 5 ROMs, not just upgrade the hboot. Upgrading hboot does close to nothing, at least for potential signal drop and reboot issues on Sense 5 ROMs.

If they all look the same, then you need to read more and understand what the various features mean.
Really, in the time you asked for a recommendation and waited for a response, you could have just flashed a ROM and started trying it out.

Bricking only occurs due to ignorance, unlocking a phone is perfectly safe, but it's your choice. If someone posts the update you can probably install it manually through the stock recovery, but this update looks like a two stage process so it might be more complicated.

I assume that you mean SIM (subsidy) unlocked, as the term "unlocked" is quite vague, and can mean various things (such as unlocked bootloader).
You will not get the OTA notification outside the US.
If your phone is stock, and you intend to keep it that way, that you will have to wait for the RUU to be posted on the HTC support website. Then download and run from a Windows PC with the phone connected by USB.
Hello i just got my M8 yesterday and the phone is asking me for update which i been delaying this because im planning to root and s-off my phone, so I want to check if all OTA that our device got so far still rootables or should not take it, thanks in advance.

You'll most likely be able to root and S-OFF your phone if you took it but as always it's best to do that BEFORE you take OTA's, or even better wait until someone elses does and see if anyone complains of not being able to S-OFF. Down side is you won't be able to take the OTA's at all after rooting and doing S-OFF, you could still manually flash them but not take them from the software update section of your ROM.
Thanks may I ask which OTA are you i dont heard about OTA is comming out till mid september

I'm not running stock so I can't really tell you what exactly I WAS on. I can on the other hand tell you the firmware I'm on which may or may not be the same because of the custom rom I'm running.
