You can place an ruu zip on sdcard for returning to stock and grab the ota but you will need to backup your data etc before hand as ruu will wipe your device

What variant are you? Unbranded or carrier branded? You don't need to wipe, Forgot to add you need to go in downland mode to flash the zip when you enter it will ask you if you want to flash or not

Updating firmware w/o root

So I keep hearing of people wanting the 1.28 (or fabled 1.3X) update. I would acutally like the 1.26 update ^^. My One X came with 1.19 .
My question is, can I update without unlocking the bootloader and doing all that business? I would like to keep locked and stock for a bit longer before I start messin at roms and things.
I have read about the Paul O'brien repackage, but again, it looks to require unlock though I could be wrong.
Thanks

You should be able to using the RUU. You would need to get the RUU for your region though as another one would fail while updating.

I had the 1.19 before. I upgraded to 1.26. But u need the 707 rom not every 1.26would work with your phone. I can tell u that 1.26 works better than 1.19 but at least on the 1.19 u have the option to hide the 3 dots. Not on 1.26 they up all the time and no option to hide it. What else ...you don't need to unlock bootloader to upgrade u need RRU
THIS IS THE RRU U NEED TO FIND

So I think I found a 707 ROM, but I wanted to make sure it was the right thing before starting to flash since I am all locked up.
Here They talk about Endeavor Shipped ROMs, which leads to a download page where the first ROM listed is PJ46IMG_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.26.707.4_Radio_1.1204... is this what you mean by a 707 ROM?
It would make sense since what I am currently running is: 1.19.707.1.
A follow up question is this: Since this is an update package (I think) would it wipe the phone in the process of the install? Again, I dont have a backup or a way to backup since I have a locked bootloader (if I understand the process correctly).
Thanks for helping out!!
David
The x.xx.707.x ONLY applies if your phone currently has x.xx.707.x on it
If you have x.xx.401.x then you need the 1.26.401.2 RUU
I have a 707 phone, so i need a 707 rom, I get that. But where do I get one? the page listed only has RUU, and from talking to folks in the HTC ONE X IRC room, thats not what I want.
It is what you want as there isn't an OTA for that build. You're going to lose your data however you look at it

Yes. I have not tried with this version but have done it with my evo 3D.
Double click the ruu file and wait till it gets to the readme stuff. Don't continue (and don't quit!)
Go to c:\users\<your user name>\AppData\Local look for something HTC (I can't remember), and inside it there will be 2 directories {<with a bunch of numbers/letters>}, one of them contains another directory {<with a bunch of numbers/letters>}, a file rom.zip in there is what you need.
Note, AppData is hidden in case you don't know. You can just type it in yourself and you will be there.
BTW, 1.26.707.4 has just been updated to 1.28.707.10.
<EDIT: I just checked that 1.26.707.4 I downloaded from the link provided by someone. It's a rom by itself and not RUU>

So with that file being a ROM and not a RUU would that mean that I could apply it using stock recovery and it would not require a wipe of my phone and settings (which I have worked so hard to make beautiful)?

Generally if it is from the same base, you would not have to wipe. Remember to nandroid so that you could go back should you need to. You can always try without wiping first and decide whether to wipe and continue or go back if that gives you problem.

I would think the easiest is to have a custom rom. Yours is 1.19 if I recall correctly. Not sure what that is though.
Monx has a custom based on 1.26.707.4 mixed with 1.28.401.9 (I think. It's the European one. He did this mix just before 1.28.707.10 came out. He said he was going to work on 1.28.707.10. Maybe you can wait for this). After using 707.10 for a few days, I can feel there is a difference; some bugs are gone. Teeter for example is playable now. It was jerking all over the place. Have not tried ninja though. I don't play them but use them to test.

[Q] Trying to convert to GPE (Help)

Hello,
I'm new to Android and yesterday I bought the HTC One M8 (UK, 3). I really do not like Sense 6 so I decided to find out how to convert it to the GPE with OTA updates. I came across this thread and I think it does what I want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706441
I know I should post my problem in the thread above but I haven't got enough posts to do so.
I'm a complete noob so would love some assistance please.
1. I downloaded the gpe3.zip to my phone's download folder
2. Turned off phone
3. Hold down volume rocker whilst turning phone on.
4. Click Recovery
5. This appears on my phone and then reboots after a few minutes back to sense:

For that you need a custom recovery, and afaik you need s-off first before you can convert and have ota updates.
Edit :
And no s-off is not available at this time !

what this guy said, + i thought I was borked too seeing this red triangle screen, but turned out for after smashing power and vol, it's just a pre screen to recovery? I don't know which combo did it, but I hit them a couple times and then got to stock recovery screen. But what this guy said, need s-off = no s-off => no GPE for now. Surprised you don't like sense, sense 6 is awesome.
Is S-Off available on Developer Edition or unlocked Edition?

I have questions for you.. Are you unlocked? if no, unlock via HTCDEV.. Do you have a custom recovery? If no, you need one. LOTS of prerequisites.
As a N00B, you have ALOT more reading and understanding to do BEFORE you flash ANYTHING...
Take this advice, and do more reading before you go and brick your phone..
Yeah so you broke your phone huh?

First thing you need to unlock your bootloader and root at same time be quicker. Then install philz custom recovery and make a nand backup just in case all fails. Then download the required rom and flash as normal via recovery

Theres no need to use weaksauce. Flash supersu.zip via recovery from chainfire. Also philz posted instructions how to flash recovery via ADB
Since you are unlocked, flash recovery from fastboot. fastboot flash recovery "recoveryname.img" you dont need root since you'll be flashing a rooted ROM anyways.

S-off is not working 100 percent with every EU/Asia Based M8 you can try firewater but be aware it may not complete the S-Off process successfully if you have an EU/Asia based M8, if you want the GPE experience simply download a custom recovery (TWRP/Philz CWM) then flash GPE Rom only, do not attempt to use RUU GPE as that requires S-Off.

If the bootloader gets corrupted on the Galaxy SIII, you can flash the image file to an SD card and get the phone to boot from a fully bricked state (phone will not power on at all). The image file must match the current bootloader that is installed. There are other threads here for previous builds with the matching image files.
(If I got something a little wrong in terminology or concept, I'm sure someone will pop in and fix anything I got mixed up on explaining. )
You are all over this update man, I can't keep up lol.

Unfortunately, my phone hard bricked during some testing of ND8 and now it's a paperweight as I haven't been able to get it back. I'm sure we'll see more of this going forward. I bet there were a few when 4.3 came along as well but we weren't around for that release here.
Looks like Jtag for this phone and I haven't decided what to do in the meantime to replace it; temporarily or permanently.

I personally think I'm done with Sammy after this phone. Knox is too much of a pain in the arse and if they keep adding to it it's gonna eventually be locked down. I'm looking at the OnePlus or the LG G3 or the new M8, but not til Christmas or Tax Time.

I'm still weighing options and not sure if I want to change carriers yet too.

If the bootloader gets corrupted on the Galaxy SIII, you can flash the image file to an SD card and get the phone to boot from a fully bricked state (phone will not power on at all). The image file must match the current bootloader that is installed. There are other threads here for previous builds with the matching image files.
(If I got something a little wrong in terminology or concept, I'm sure someone will pop in and fix anything I got mixed up on explaining. )

I hard bricked my phone. How can I find out which bootloader was installed when it bricked? I have tried about every debrick image I can find with no success?

Tell me more, I just went through this. How did you do it and what is the phone doing/not doing now?

Edit: Additionally, I had issues getting this image to flash in Windows. I had to flash it to SD in Ubuntu. If you can still read the SD in Windows, it didn't take the flash. If the card is unreadable in Windows then maybe it flashed ok but still no guarantees it will work if the bootloader partitions are corrupted like mine were.

I was having connectivity issues so I flashed a new modem. Then, for some weird reason, I lost audio and had ZERO signal except wifi. I was advised to flash a TW rom to try and update PRL and activate the phone. I flashed Wicked Sensations, still no luck. So at that point, I was trying to flash back to non rooted using >>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099. Thats when it bricked. I don't blame anyone but myself. I didn't read the ENTIRE thread before flashing and it hard bricked. Won't power on, no recovery/download mode. Light comes on with battery pulled and plugged in to USB.
I have tried all the threads and has no luck. I bought a 16g class 10 sd card. Tried many different debrick files. Tried writing with win23 and Cygwin, nothing. I am thinking I may need a different image based on my bootloader, I just have no idea which it was at the time.

Instructions: W.I.P.
To install the OTA, your system needs to have all the files it shipped with, untouched. If you've added files, such as Superuser.apk to the system, it's fine, as long as nothing was removed or overwritten. You'll also need to have the stock recovery flashed to your device to install the OTA. (Link below...) If your system files are modified, I'd suggest restoring a stock nand backup from this thread. Before restoring one of these, PLEASE backup your current setup. Also, your device does NOT need to be relocked to install this if you are S-Off. I am unsure for S-On users.

I've always been S-Off before ever doing an OTA, so I am unsure about that, but with S-Off, as long as no system apps were removed or changed, and you flash the stock recovery, the OTA should push and install just fine. You'll also be okay if you added files to your system, as long as you didn't overwrite or remove any. After accepting the OTA, I always flash TWRP again, make a backup, then re-flash SU.

I tried to find the location of the OTA but couldn't find it. I looked in /cache but nothing was in there. I'm guessing it's gone now that the OTA has been applied?
Here's a link for now. Feel free to mirror somewhere else, this was just the quickest for me.

LG V35 - LGUP - Error: 0x7004, AB Update Boot Change Fail / Stuck In Firmware Update

So this happened, and I have no idea what to do.
Google search on this specific error shows nothing, like I am the first to have it or something.
Could it be that is because my phone is encrypted?
Also sorry if I have posted this in the wrong sub forum
Cant't seem to find the delete option.
- V350ULM20d_00_NAO_US_OP_0612.kdz
- Patched / Moded V35 LGUP
- Upgrade Option
- ATT Unlocked Model Running Android 8.0
( Not sure what KDZ I was on, I should have checked before hand )
Any help would be appreciated

I have only done the "Upgrade" Option, nothing else, trying to dump anything gives me "0x2000 Write Protected lun" Error, could be because of the encryption.
I have just tried doing Partition DL on "boot_ a/b" and "sid_a/b"
Followed by the upgrade option, result is the same, the last thing it seems to try flashing is "sid_a" then it gives me the 7004 error
I have accidentally flashed/partition DL on user files.
I am guessing that wiped everything on there didn't it :|

Well there goes my whatsapp history, I really should stop messing with it when I am tired late at night after coming back from a long trip.
I have tried multiple different ones,
The one from https://www.lanzous.com/i3y5ocd does not seem to work for me, it gives me an invalid mismatched DLL type of error
The one I am using I can't remember where I got it but will post once I get a chance to look it up again
Would doing the refurbished option be any good?

In the LGUP zip file there is an LGUPD and an LGUPE exe. Correct? Which of those two did you use? Also I think refurbish would be the best option. At this point.
---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------
The upgrade option wouldn't work because of the firmware incompatibilities. You could only use upgrade going from same firmware family. Like Google Fi 8.0 to Google Fi 9.0. or Amazon 8.0---> 9.0 etc.
