Its Ubuntu haha.. Pretty awesome setup I use 12.04... If you decide to use it, install
64bit just in case you decide to try building from source.... I agree with the above answer as well.. You can not flash an ruu that is below your hboot.. The partitions will go through the motion of flashing but will not actually flash no matter how you try.. I've tried all three ways...to include flash image GUI and HTC dumlock...hope this helps

Energy rom, CM10, and paradroid (whatever it called)
but they are not a good rom for me..
I am in the same situation as you, because of there are not many roms for this garbage phone..
I am trying to selling it and get a popular phone which are easier to flash custom roms.
PS: HTC always make stupid phones, no wonder the company is going bankrupt.
Its funny how I have no issues whatsoever with my hboot 1.14.
Easier to flash custom roms? I flash roms the same way on all my devices - in recovery. The only difference with the S is i have to spend 5sec on typing "fastboot flash boot boot.img" before first boot up. Yea, hard stuff that
And... why did you buy it if you think htc only makes stupid phones? Makes no sense to me...

You should get WiFi on almost all ICS ROMs.. If the base rom is your hboot or lower..

Just for informational purposes, I was having the same problems: serious problems with Wi-Fi on several different ROMS. I also have hboot 1.14. I'm currently running CM10 and installed a custom kernel and it seems to have fixed the problem.

Most wifi issues revolve around t-mobile phones I believe. It often relates to the 2.35 update. Others did not have these issues.
You can also solve via superCID and flash another RUU (that has a similar level of bootloader).
But yes, a bootloader downgrade will solve this, since then you can flash other wifi partitions (even the Jelly Bean ones).
Alternatively you can wait for the OTA upgrade to Jellybean.

I got it because it was the best hardware out at the time and not for Sense.

Ya its seems that to me too.
Well I moved from T-Mobile and went to att so I'm trying to sell the phone but I have particular buyer that wants it rooted and they'll pay the full price if I can get viper or a Jb Rom on it. Ok so ill attempt the hboot downgrade.

I'm currently on rooted stock 2.3.5 (s-off) and would like to try some of the newer Jellybean roms. My hboot is 6.98.1002. Do I need a newer one such as 7.00.2002?
If so are there any specific issues with upgrading? I've looked and searched but doesn't seem to be much info on going from 6.98.1002 to 7.00.2002.
Thanks

It write protected from RUU. He can install any ROM that does not need separate lib partition. This means all existing except Official MIUI 4, the Stock one by Scanob and the test Desire XS RC1

Thats correct. You can try to flash it but it wont actually work. The only way to use a different radio on a higher hboot (besides OTA updates and RUUs) is to go to an AOSP ROM. They hold radio files in a different location (there is a CM10 radio flasher in the development forums). This still wont replace the underlying radio on your phone (which will be there if you go back to SENSE base ROMs). But it will allow you to try out different radios.
Not brick, only don't install

Hello, I am fairly new to XDA so, I do not know much. But I am fairly knowledged on technology so just say what you may to help out.
I rooted my HTC One X (Evita) And I installed Cyanogenmod 10 . Now I wanna install cm10.1 nightly, now I installed the
M-2 Release and went back to cm10 now I hear there is a HBOOT requirement.
Now, what would happen if. I tried the nightly (boot loop)?? Because I wanna try it and I don't really trust any other dev except AOKP. Thanks!
There is no requirement. But if your on hboot 2.14 from either a ruu or your hox came with 2.14 then you need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware. The thread is sticked in original dev section. You should be fine flashing the nightly

No you wont get bricked but if your not soff you will need to flash the boot.img of the ROM in question in fast boot because your on 2.20. All the instructions for flashing will be in the roms thread in the first post.

You won't brick. Just make sure you flash the boot.img if the ROM requires it. Just check the 1st post in the ROMs thread and there should be instructions for flashing if your worried still

This is true. I am on 1.14. I flashed about four roms. If you are stuck in bootloop, then just reformat /system and /data, and reflash, and then use fastboot the boot.img. Most of the CM roms requires it. But, I seriously suggest you get S-OFF, while you can. It is worth it, and makes life really simple. The link is in my sig

You have the middle eastern variant of this phone, none of the firmware/hboots/radios etc from the normal version are compatible and will most likely brick your phone if you try to install them. Basically, you can't run any aosp ROM because you can't flash the necessary upgrades. It's unfortunate but you're stuck with Sense ROMs.
The problem is that there simply aren't enough of the middle eastern variant around so there is no development specifically for it, so all you users with that variant are kinda stuck coming into this forum where not everything is compatible.

There's no such thing as hboot 2.20, that's your software version. You need to upgrade your firmware by running the 3.18 RUU. It does state that very clearly in the CM thread. You must have s-off to do this or you'll brick.

I tried getting s-off with the facepalm method and had no luck. I had no erros other than the ones expected in the instructions. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe my firmware is too old. I now know that my kernal version is 3.0.51.
Why not update your ROM and try again?

But I am afraid of making it brick but the S-OFF CID 11111
I can? or not?
Or I have to return it to S-ON
Is which the correct way??
You'll be fine, it only bricks when you have SuperCID + s-on. Your current configuration (SuperCID + s-off) is fine.

Thank you, I am more reassured
You or someone I could confirm if the version
is 3.18 best for my phone? or they have any better?
The 3.18 RUU is the latest at&t RUU that has been released. It will update your hboot to 2.14, which is good because if you plan on running any recent aosp ROM you need that hboot. If you plan on staying stock though you'll have JB 4.1 running.

Timmaaa,
If I've upgraded the firmware and flashed Turge's 4.2.2 sense ROM, do you think it's safe to RUU back to stock?
The combination of the new ROM, the new firmware, and Beastmode kernel seem to produce bad behaviors like going to airplane mode during calls and random shutdowns.
Thanks,
Dan

I haven't seen anyone report running an RUU while on the latest firmware, but if you're s-off you should be safe to do so. Please note I'm saying you SHOULD be safe, this is not a guarantee as I haven't tested it, but I'd assume that the theory is sound.

If you've upgraded your firmware you might not necessarily need to use the Beastmode kernel, you could try dirty flashing the ROM. This will in effect just replace Beastmode with the stock kernel.
