Hey all,
I rooted my HOX (1.73, 4.0.3) with the kpenn ne-Click a few days after I got it for the Tether and to de-bloat. Since then I haven't read anything on the One X till I heard Jelly Bean coming along. Anyhoo my question is what the upside of getting the new OTA (4.0.4) would be and how I would go about it if I wanted to (I've never updated before and ATT has stopped asking me to update, also I get nothing when I try to check for an update).
I've been reading around and it seems like most people are on to 1.85 and are flashing 4.1/2.2. My primary uses of my phone are for the media applications/web browsing and I haven't noticed any real drop in performance but I have heard the new updates have sped up the HOX considerably which is something I'm always interested in.
Thanks!
DON'T flash any OTA you will lose your root and will lose your ability to re root because there is no boot loader unlock for the new base. If you want to update and flash a new ROM and want to stick to sense, look at clean rom or xi40. Both are updated on the new base and are heaps and bounds better than the original ATT software :thumbup:

i one-clicked unrooted my phone earlier and freaked out (and the new updates didn't work out on my phone anyway). i ended up getting kpenn's one click again and putting SU back into my phone. Do you have any links that can take me on a step by step process of unlocking my phone and flashing those roms on it? I just love being able to control my phone and pushing it to its absolute limits.
Sigh. I followed the tutorial but I made a few mistakes...
1) I unlocked my phone way earlier than I should have so I wiped everything before I could make a back-up..
2) Re-locked accordingly to see if I could keep updating. I did manage to get to 1.85 like the tutorial said but.....
3) Since I didn't have a custom recovery I wasn't sure how to proceed. I couldn't get the root to flash so I tried using the 1-click 1.85 root since my phone was running 1.85.
....This ended up updating to 2.2 so now I have an unlocked HOX 2.2/4.0.4. With all the bloat.
Dumb dumb dumb. Ugh.

it's UNLOCKED?
you're lucky then.
just push a recovery like twrp then push root. Then you can debloat.
Yep, it's still unlocked. That was around the 4-7th reset I did (I messed up a lot). Do you have a link that shows me how to do that? I'm actually not as bummed about going to 2.2 since it runs so much faster than 1.73 did.

make sure you have your unlock token and then go to http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-4/
and follow the directions.
after that look at this thread to install twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777773
then this one to re-root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673935
I notice one of the links is for 1.85. Does that mean that I'll go from 2.2 back to 1.85? I just wanted to make sure since my impression from the forums is that there is no 2.2 root yet unless it was flashed.

no those pages just tell you how to manually install root and recovery.
your bootloader is still unlockable
unlock it
then install a recovery
then install root via that recovery
Ahh, thanks a bunch man.
Sorry if this is repetitive....
So I've checked my phone and currently it states that it is
"Re-locked"
I downloaded a recovery so it's currently on my phone. Furthermore I all ready had a copy of SU sitting in my phone's download folder.
Does this mean that I'm going to...
- Unlock bootloader (that is currently relocked) and have everything erased again.
- Reboot from recovery (of the evita 2.2.img I just downloaded with TWRP)
- Then flash the SU root I all ready have on my phone?

yeah unlock the boot loader. set up the phone again
then install the recovery then root.
to make your unlock stick, turn off fastboot in power options, then power down phone completely then restart it to the bootloader.
Hmm, so my phone is definitely unlocked now. I installed the recovery and I manually flashedthe new SuperSU in that link you posted for me. As far as I can tell nothing is happening.
Note: It says that it installs the recovery but there is no reboot that occurs. I've done this both with the android app and manually and nothing is happening.
I don't see SuperSU and rootchecker is confirming that my phone isn't rooted yet.
so you reboot to recovery, choose the superSU package to install then what happens?
I know this works I've done it quite a few times myself.
Presently I installed the latest img file with TWRP with the app. There is not reboot that occurs (unless I'm suppose to reboot on my own?). If that's the case then I've been a total idiot.
I've just been installing the openrecovery and then I press "Flash Roms" to flash the supersu. I get a little notification that says "Preparing to Flash" and then nada.
After you install twrp recovery you reboot. Then you boot to recovery and flash the super su zip manually
Wooh! I got it to work! Thank you so much!

No problemmo.
Does this also mean that I can flash any ROMs I want on my phone now?
Yes. But you will have to flash kernels aka boot.img separately using fast boot.
If i am rooted and unlocked bootloader can i update via att / htc update option on the phone?
I am not running a custom rom i have original stock rom all i did to the phone was root it and unlocked bootloader.
Am i able to just update to latest firmware now? I am not so much worried about keeping root / unlocked bootloader as long as i can update and be fine.
you should s-off your phone or you will be bricked if you take the ota.
I never recommend ota ...if you want it you can download a version in one x dev thread

What advantage is there to the OTA update? I'm running ViperXl and getting incompatible device error with some market apps. Will this fix that or should I just wait for next Viper update?

Hey guys, ive just bought one of these and its on 4.4.2. Its not giving me a notification for the lollipop OTA, but the HTC sync software says there is one. Now my question is, Should I root and unlock bootloader before doing the update or after? Which one would be a less time consuming process? Also, are there any methods of unlocking the bootloader without using the sunshine app? I guess ill pay if i have no choice, but ill have to wait till next month before i have the money to do so and im itching to remove this godawful verzion bloat. One last thing, i bought the phone from a reseller in India, and am using it on a GSM network currently, but will use it with a CDMA one in future (its working now, tested on 2 CDMA networks). I just want to make sure that updating will not stop it from working with Indian CDMA.
You can use the weaksauce method. Then I would flash the 5.1 lolliGPE ROM. Its a well-developed rom.

Hey,
Just rooted m8 verizon.
They only thing which is actually works right now it Sunshine.
You can purchase it for 25$ from here:
http://theroot.ninja/
After that, you download SuInstaller, then restart the phone.
Then - install from google play "SuperSu" app.
Enter it, choose - "normal", wait a few secs.
Thats it. You have permanent root.
Good luck, mate

MUCH easier to do on 4.4.2! Run Sunshine - bingo.
On 5.0.1 (and only the earlier version 4.17.605.5 - not on the latest update 4.17.605.9, you have to downgrade to .5 to get S-Off at all) you have to jump through quite a few hoops with King Root for Sunshine to gain root long enough to S-Off.
S-Off NOW.
Then update every which way you like: OTA if you didn't change anything else, flashing a RUU or just the 5.0.1 firmware and a corresponding ROM - your choic

Thanks! S-off now and a 5.0 ROM seems to be the way to go!
5.0 ROM or 5.0 OTA if you don't mind the VZW bloat. I have been putting off loading a ROM on this replacement unit because I very much like Sense and I'm waiting for some stable Sense7 ROMS that don't have a bunch of VZW caveats. Dottat has a stock ROM and a stock debloated ROM which is pretty ok.
You basically just have to pick Sense or GPE or AOSP, once you're S-OFF you really can't go wrong unless you are hasty or don't read instructions.

Hey ive finally got s-off and bootloader unlock via sunshine, but i cant seem to be able to install twrp. it just gets stuck on the entering recovery screen. Ive tried installing it via windroid and flashify(using weaksauce), but neither seems to be working. Any idea what to do?
Flash it in fastboot. If you don't know how then now is the time to learn.

Yes I know, you need an untouched System Image. Since you were rooted, uninstalling Magisk and becoming unrooted, it was still touched. Right now there is only one way to take OTA, that is downloading RUU.zip. Placing it on SDcard and booting to download mode. You will also need to have a 32Gb SDcard as mode will not see the zip. Once you are completely stock you can take the OTA.

For me and others with magisk installed it didn't worked out. Flashed stock boot, but something else seemed to be triggered...needed to flash ruu and take backup with twrp of the system_image and vendor_image in case something goes wrong again . Leedroid fixed it with those backups

You got a device with permanent S-OFF? Flashing back boot seams to work on those, but on S-ON/unlocked devices with temporary S-OFF another partition seems to get tempered and checkt later on during the OTA process. Don't know which on, but all S-ON devices, that had been unlocked and rooted up to now had to RUU back to take the OTA successfully. Applies to such fellow members as @LeeDroid as well. So I'm wondering what you did different to all those affected.

No I have a regular production device. Just like normal, I don't use Xposed and never mounted system RW so just flashing back the stock boot img worked fine for me...same as on previous devices. One other possibility is my device shows status official (sunshine does that), maybe the ota update is checking that.

Hello guys!
After giving LeeDroid a chance I decided that I do not like it and flashed the nandroid backup through TWRP. Everything works great, except that I still have TWRP installed so I cannot receive OTA.
In the RUU Collection spreadsheet there's no 2.33.401.19 RUU , only 2.33.401.10. I need that version because that is the main version that I get with getvar. Also the CID is HTC_034.
My question is: is there any way to flash the stock recovery so I can receive OTA? Or is there any 2.33.401.19 RUU available so I can reflash everything back to stock?
Thanks a lot!

I downloaded untouched twrp from the Google spreadsheet, restored it then flashed stock recovery (2.33.401.19 stock on Google spreadsheet) when I was in the same position on 2.33.401.10 and there were no ruu zips available , it allows me to update. I just done it again on 2.33.401.19 cid034 as well, I know you used to able to flash older HTC backwards with s on from memory card method if it was a minor update the first 9 digits being identical, haven't had the bottle to try it tho lol

There is a method with s on , but I've never tried it personally https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....owngrade-htc-u11-oreo-to-nougat-t3754481/amp/ but I would downgrade it to 2.33.402.10 istread of the version it recommends, I didn't like paying for it but it makes things slit easier in my experiences

I can confirm that this worked for me I was 2.31.617 and downgraded to 1.28. It worked like a charm. I am back on viper Oreo rom now. I was curious if it would work and it does. No s- off needed. Us version unlocked!

Hello guys!
After giving LeeDroid a chance I decided that I do not like it and flashed the nandroid backup through TWRP. Everything works great, except that I still have TWRP installed so I cannot receive OTA.
In the RUU Collection spreadsheet there's no 2.33.401.19 RUU , only 2.33.401.10. I need that version because that is the main version that I get with getvar. Also the CID is HTC_034.
My question is: is there any way to flash the stock recovery so I can receive OTA? Or is there any 2.33.401.19 RUU available so I can reflash everything back to stock?
Thanks a lot!

I done it m8, sdcard method, works fine I'm on cid034, download from the Google xda sheet, I updated it back to 2.33.401.19 afterwards via HTC ota, Had no problem no bypasses when flashing (2PZCIMG.zip) from my sdcard , I believe it worked because it was only a partial update and not a downgrade in software (only version) . At least now I know I have no problem going to Pie when we eventually get it
So you say that you flashed full stock 2.33.401.10 over 2.33.401.19 and it worked??

I believe it works although I have never done so. However I done it downgrading from 8.1 RR to 8.0.
