Hey everyone
My htc one x is asking me for an update, and I'm wondering if I can update it and still keep the Root?
Bcuz I've tried to update it, and it gave me a notice that something went wrong while trying to install the update.
* I've a rooted phone.
From what I've seen on youtube it won't

Root should not interfere the update, is your rom 100% stock (no bloatware or apps removed?)
If you are on a custom recovery, you have to flash back the stock recovery. The update will not run on a custom recovery !

Ahaa.
Yea but how can I put on the stock recovery?!
fastboot getvar version-main
Take the first bit, like 2.17 and search for the recovery here, then
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You have to flash it with fastboot command.
What is your software number ? Is it 2.17 android 4.0.4 ?
If yes then download this file
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
Rename it to recovery.img and copy it in the fastboot folder on the pc
Then put the phone in fastboot usb mode and open a command prompt inside the fastboot folder on the pc and type
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
After this you boot back into the O.S. and update again

thank you, but I could not find the Fastboot folder on the phone when I opened it on my PC !
The fastboot folder is NOT on the phone but should be on the pc !

What he means is, that you have to have tools first. But you don't need whole Android SDK. Download this and extract it in Documents folder for example. (there shouldn't be spaces in path to the folder, afaik)
http://d-h.st/iqA
Then run command line in folder "Win32" (shift+right click on blank space in folder > Open command window here). Then you can run the provided commands

Is your phone in fastboot mode? It should have a red text "fastboot usb" on the screen.
Hold volumedown and power to get to bootloader and select fasboot using hw buttons.

Just wondering for later, do I understand correctly then that if I have removed some bloatware, even if I return to stock recovery I will not be able to recieve OTAs?
Tangentially - any recommendations on the best way to know if particular bloatware apps are safe/unsafe to remove (how deeply are these apps built into the ROM?)
Yes need original recovery for install update

The minute you reflashed the custom recovery you make a NANDROID BACKUP ! After that you can do what you want. When the phone needs to be updated you restore the nandroid backup and the stock recovery and you will be able to update the official way
And yes you are right, if you remove any bloatware or system apps the phone will not update !

yea and not only updating, also when I tried to put on Recovery it gives the same sign !
Then you need to reflash the custom recovery and restore a stock nandroid backup then reflash the stock recovery and update !
The warning when entering the recovery is because its a stock recovery
Put the phone in the bootloader and give these commands
Fastboot oem readcid

Post the outcome please

You're on a custom ROM mate!
Sent from my One X
You just got this phone, so presumably you have not unlocked the bootloader, or obtained root access, right? It could be that your provider just hasn't gotten around to getting the update to it's users yet (as is the case currently for some providers in NZ, but not all). Your android version is the lastest iteration of Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) just before Jelly Bean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history#Android_4.0.3-4.0.4_Ice_Cream_Sandwich_.28API_level_15.29
Didn't even notice the custom ROM, DOH!
Titanium backup your apps and data, save onto PC, flash back to stock ROM, flash back to stock recovery, update software, flash custom recovery, create nandroid backup of new stock setup, check for custom ROM that supports the new JB and flash it (if you screw this up you'll appreciate the nandroid backup), see if you can use your Titanium backup to restore your apps and data.
Do these fastboot commands
Fastboot oem readcid
Fastboot getvar version-main
Lets see what we can do !
bro really appreciate your reply but to be very honest am just beginner as far as android is concerned and literally i didnt get what you said :s can you please kindly tell me step by step please. and one more thing its there any chance for demage or something if i go for flash or something, its my 1st android cell

If you follow us the chance of breaking things are very . . very small
Oke install the HTC drivers
http://db.tt/gXVxa3Dp
Download these fastboot files
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
Put the fastboot files in a folder like this
C;\fastboot\fastboot files from my link
Now hold the power button and the volume - button together untill it restarts into the bootloader. Don't let go of the two buttons untill you are in it !
Connect the phone to the pc and check if you see on the phone
FASTBOOT USB
then open a command prompt inside the fastboot folder on the pc (right click in the folder and open command prompt here)
Type this
Fastboot devices
If your serial pops up its good and then you also do the 2 other commands i gave you a post earlier
Edit: the chance of damage is so small because there is no s-off for our devices. Practically the only way to brick the device is if you flash stuff that is not ment for out HTC one x !
yes i performed all 3 commands but first tell me how to reopen my cell from fastboot usb
You can type
Fastboot reboot
Or unplug the cable and navigate with the volume buttons to REBOOT .... maybe you have to press HBOOT once to see the REBOOT option on screen
Confirm with the power button the action you choose
What was the outcome of the commands
ok what i get
fastboot devices
ht241w125067 fastboot
oem
<bootloader> debug: cid: htc__001
okay <0.016s>

Download this RUU
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
charge the batt to 100% before you start this
Put the phone in fastboot usb mode and open the fastboot prompt on the pc, relock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
Keep the phone in fastboot usb mode with the locked bootloader and right click the RUU.exe file on the pc and select
Run with administrator permissions (or a similar option)
It will flash your phone to completely stock ICS android. Then you can manually check for the JB update and install that too !
Note : it will wipe the entire phone. Do backup things if you need it !!!!
Im sorry if this has been answered so many times but ive spent about 4 hours looking around and i couldnt understand half of the solutions that were out there. My problem is that i attempted to root my htc one x and i succeeded. Then i tried to put the new jellybean 4.2.2 cyanogen10.1 mod nightlies or something like that. This failed terribly. I have no back ups or anything what so ever. I dont care about anything i may have lost, i only want to get the phone working again. I know i should have researched this further before trying, but yeah... if anybody has done the same thing and solved there matter i'd be so grateful. it still responds on fastboot. heres some info on the bootloader screen. I tried factory resetting it, clearing the cache...none worked.

Best to do is :

Adb reboot bootloader
Then flash the boot.img and reboot

Hi, same problem here..
my phone got stuck on the startup screen (HTC quietly brilliant). But my case is different because im a total noob, newly registered here. I bought my htc one x that is already in CM10 jellybean mode. last night i got a notification for cm10 update, I just click it without thinking much (cause im a noob) then after rebooting it just freezes... I hope senior members here can help me, i reallly dont want to lose my data..
You probably updated to CM10.1. You need to take the update's boot.img and flash it in fastboot.

You place the boot.img file from the CM10 rom.zip (its inside) in the fastboot folder on the pc, then you put the phone in the bootloader
Open the command window in the fastboot folder(point in the fastboot folder hold down shift + right mouse button- open command window here) and type

just to be sure, the bootloader mode is when the HBOOT is highlighted blue am i right?
oh i hate myself..
It should say
Fastboot usb in red text above that
In bootloader you should highlight fastboot using volume keys and press power. Then fastboot mode should be engaged and FASTBOOT USB text visible.

Do you have HTC syncmanager installed on the pc ? Uninstall it but leave the drivers when asked !
Reboot the pc and the bootloader....check again.
And you should have a myhtc in the device manager when the phone is plugged in the pc

You have a very old h-boot so you need to upgrade it first!!
So you need to flash the stock rom for your hboot or the ruu of your hboot and then when the hboot is 1.36 or 1.39 are the two best, you can flash a rom without problems!!
You dont have to unlock bootloader because is unlocked!

Hello all,
Just before anyone says, I have looked for a few hours for the answer to this question, but all of the answers are either ambiguous or too complicated for a novice like me to understand .
The question I have is how do you upgrade the hboot of a rooted international HTC One X (step by step). I really want to flash CM 10.1 custom ROM, and it requires a newer hboot than the one I have. I have found a tool called JBFWFlasher, which can upgrade an hboot, but it says when you go through the steps: AFTER UPGRADE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO INSTALL A FULLY FUNCTIONAL NON-SENSE BASED ROM.
Obviously CM 10.1 is non-sense based, so I think this is a dead end.
Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance :laugh:.
Details:
Hboot: 1.12.0000
Clockworkmod: v5.8.4.0
Cyanogenmod: 10
Get your CID
CID getter from the playstore will do, for the easy/lazy people or do the fastboot command
Fastboot oem readcid
Once you have ypur cid you go here and get your matching firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
And then you do this :
Rename the .zip to firmware.zip and place it in the fastboot folder
- Boot the phone to the bootloader and relock the bootloader :
Fastboot oem lock
- then put the phone in ruu mode with this command
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
(watch the capitals, this command will put the phone into a black screen with a silver HTC logo)
- then flash the firmware
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
- you see the text on the pc screen, when it says OKE you are good. If it failed you reflash the zip right away again.
Then reboot the bootloader, unlock it, flash the custom recovery, make a full wipe and install the new JB of ypur choice and don't forget to flash its boot.img too
Thanks, you couldn't have made that explanation simpler :laugh:. So, because I am an idiot and I somehow have no fastboot folder, what are all the components I need for it?
At the moment I have:
The latest CM 10.1 zip folder
^^^ The boot.img copied from this folder
The latest gapps zip folder for CM 10.1 & Android 4.2.2
The CID when I get it
Anything else? Thanks for the help .
You need the ANDROID SDK BUNDLE ..... Unpack it and inside the platform tools you find the fastboot files. That is your fastboot folder.
Or use a JB firmware flasher.
Also, one other thing, when I just went and got the zip from the link you posted, the download was off of Android Revolution HD. Just thought that I'd check, this won't mean I can only use this ROM will it? CM 10.1 will work fine?
Not trying to be awkward, I just don't want to get this wrong .
First you need your cid otherwise you don't know what you need to download !

Is it this? http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
I have it downloading now . When I have the fastboot folder and the other parts I mentioned, is that all I need to be able to change the hboot, re-unlock bootloader, re flash CWM (oh yeah I need that as well :silly and install CM 10.1.
Thanks for the help so far, I really appreciate it .

Yeah, I did the CID and found it was HTC__001, I then went on to download that zip for hboot 1.39 and that is when the android revolution page popped up. Just thought I should check with the guru first :laugh:.
Oke yes that's correct .....
Yep then you have it all. Also put the unlock code.bin file (the one you got in the mail from htc the first time you unlocked the bootloader) into the fastboot folder.
Follow all the steps i wrote earlier and it will be fine
How to flash ?
Open a command window from inside the fastboot folder . Hold shift and point in the folder then right click the mouse and select : open command window here
From that dos command window you type all the FASTBOOT commands.

Ok, so it won't mean that I can only install Android Revolution HD? Better to be safe .
Also, the ADT Bundle just finished downloading, and I'm extracting fastboot to C: drive at the moment. Thanks for the help, is that all I need to do? (seems too easy...) :laugh:
After the update you can install any rom here you like.
Yeah unpack the bundle to a folder where you can find it .... then follow the steps !
Knew I'd spoken too soon. In program-tools, fastboot is an application, not a folder, and when I click it it does nothing. Is there any stock fastboot folder I can get from anywhere?
Common mistake ! You need to open the command window inside that folder with the fastboot.exe file !
Like i mentioned about 2-3 posts back.
Don't double click the fastboot.exe file it does indeed do nothing !

So can I copy this individual file into C: drive and use it as a 'base' file to store all the CM10.1 folder and stuff?
I should probably stop bugging you now, its midnight lol
Yeah this is my last reply and then im off to bed ! Its 1 o clock here now
The cm10.1 and the Gapps go onto the sdcard of the phone
In the fastboot folder you need :
- firmware.zip
- unlock code.bin
- boot.img from the cm10.1
- custom recovery.img
And then you start......if you are uncomfortable with all this we can also do this all with teamviewer tomorrow evening ? If you like ! :thumbup:

Get your CID
CID getter from the playstore will do, for the easy/lazy people or do the fastboot command
Fastboot oem readcid
Once you have ypur cid you go here and get your matching firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
And then you do this :
Rename the .zip to firmware.zip and place it in the fastboot folder
- Boot the phone to the bootloader and relock the bootloader :
Fastboot oem lock
- then put the phone in ruu mode with this command
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
(watch the capitals, this command will put the phone into a black screen with a silver HTC logo)
- then flash the firmware
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
- you see the text on the pc screen, when it says OKE you are good. If it failed you reflash the zip right away again.
Then reboot the bootloader, unlock it, flash the custom recovery, make a full wipe and install the new JB of ypur choice and don't forget to flash its boot.img too

Thanks, all of this worked well. It did fail the first time, but then I did it again and all is good .
I am at the point now where I just flashed the zip and need to reboot the bootloader and unlock etc. Please can you tell me all the command prompt commands from here as I am a bit lost at the moment. Thanks :laugh:.
Hold the power button and the volume - button as long as it takes to reboot into the bootloader. Check if your hboot has changed. Then unlock it
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
After unlocking you flash the newcustom recovery
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then flash the new boot.img from the new rom you want to flash
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery and make a full wipe and install the new rom
