yeah nikz, was replying to N00bTerminator, i think he is rooted and unlocked, so think he should return back to stock recovery then re-lock his bootloader before doing this flash. (just to be safe) :)

however, im very much locked and un-rooted & i wish to keep it that way.... for now.

---

i just hope:

1. flashing this doesnt void any warranty

2. flashing this will not prevent the next UK OTA update.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
All good,

For your last 2 points, guess we'll have to wait and find out :) I don't think it should have any effects on OTAs.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
i suppose 'if' the UK update is different to the RUU one that everyone in Europe received, i'll just have another RUU to flash :)

... damn my net is slowwwww :confused:

----

if this is an official update, my bootloader is still defaulted as locked (not re-locked) - that should keep my warranty in place..... hopefully.
[HTC One X] kozjegyzo:
Update in Hungary confirmed. :)

Anyone have a change log yet?
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Lol, I do wonder how they distinguish, maybe they host it on their servers and they can tell what country we are trying to search for an update from.

The CID is still HTC_001 after this RUU so shouldn't affect it at all.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
cheers lads but problem is i am branded...:( and i think i need to find the specific RUU for my carrier which sucks..oh well never mind

Thanks for your help gents
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Ah branded ones are useless, our networks take so much time trying to customise them!

Hey at least once S-OFF is done, you'll be able to change CID or have SUPER CID :)
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
all done, 1.29 - phone is booted.

cheers for the help nikzDHD
[HTC One X] Goku80:
i know mate and looking forward to the S-OFF.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Anytime mate ;)
[HTC One X] Goku80:
feels like the old GB days when we was trying to update:) on the s2..hehe nice to see you guys here
[HTC One X] matmar:
Stock recovery not required. RUU will anyway install it.

Only relock is necessary...
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
For real. I despise TW, my sister has it on her S2 and it's just eugh compared to the polished Sense.

I do hope HTC continue to improve this and sure they will just need Nvidia to gear up a notch or two! Most issues seem to be due to their part.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
i know...and the thing is with HTC phones they are easy to port other OS if i am not mistaken...Ok will be very hard to do but no harm in trying..for now give it another few weeks and i am sure once kernels drop we be up and running more
[HTC One X] Tomo1971:
Ok, im gonna have a try at this…… dam…. im on a mac, not a PC

:eek:
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Bootcamp or Parralels :p
[HTC One X] Tomo1971:
Im just too idle to go to my car and get my toughbook out and do it from there instead, lol…..
[HTC One X] hetalmp:
Did the RUU as I couldn't wait for HTC update. Unfortunately it didn't fix my GPS locking problem. Going to have to try another replacement. Anyone know why the automatic app restore from google has stopped working. Used to be handy on ginger bread

Nice to see 1.29 bug fixes shown on their website.....
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Indeed, good find.

Improved power management

Enhanced HTC Car user experience for navigation voice prompts

Camera improvements for HDR mode and video snapshot

Improved incoming call alert speed

Added device volume control when in DLNA mode (HTC Media Link HD required)
[HTC One X] anoniemouse:
I just contacted HTC to see when the UK could expect the OTA update & this is the Response i got.

I understand you wish to know when the latest Android 1.29 OTA update will be coming to your device.

In answer to your query the HTC One X Android 1.29 software update via FOTA EU is being rolled out as we speak, To unbranded devices. The servers can only handle a specific amount of updates a day so you will have to be patient but you should receive the update soon. If your device is branded to a network e.g. 3, please wait for the network to release their branded software. The update is only available ota (over the air). There is also no way of installing an unbranded update on a branded device.

To manually search for updates please go through the following steps as described in the link below:

http://www.htc.com/help/www/howto_iframe.aspx?id=141676&type=1&p_id=440

For the latest news releases Please go to Our official HTC website, http://www.htc.com/uk/

Or web Fan pages e.g. Facebook & Twitter.

HTC thank you for your continued patience and co-operation at this time.

Im on cid_016 south africa . Did anyone in south africa get it ?
[HTC One X] Tomo1971:
OK, so I have decided to update the RUU from the links found earlier…. using my dads Vista PC (I use a mac, so cant use that).

Have run the .exe in fastboot usb and all I have now (for about 10 mins) is:

On the Phone: HTC and a green line thats not moved for ages (didnt see it move tbh, was busy)

On the PC: Updating Signature…………….. (the … keep going up, but the progress bar hasnt moved for an age). Also says "updating the ROM image on your android phone" and says in red, not to remove the USB cable… (even though I had to remove the USB cable when i did the 1.28 OTA update).

Any help appreciated.

Steve
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Each step took a while on mine, just leave it plugged in.

I'm sure it will give an error if there is one.
[HTC One X] Tomo1971:
Eeeek….. been like that now for about 20 mins (at least)….. Getting worried now, very worried
[HTC One X] dannysmith43:
Think I'll wait for the OTA version, my nerves won't take it..
[HTC One X] Tomo1971:
Hahaha….dont blame ya!

So….. Still stuck on the screen so I unplugged the USB.

No change to the device so held power button down till it shut off.

Switched phone on again and started up on 1.29…… phew

:eek:
[HTC One X] casci:
On all my previous HTC's I've simply flash RUU files, with the phone normally on, Debug USB enabled, and only follow the instructions on the screen of my PC.

I don't understand why now I have to enter in Fastboot from power + volume down keys.

No standard procedure ?
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
The factory procedure to flash an RRU would be to go to the bootloader and put the phone into Fastboot_USB mode, which basically means selecting Fastboot and plugging the USB from the Computer to the Phone. There's no difference if you flash it from the Phone or from the Fastboot mode, but in the factory there won't be software on the phone ;)

As for updating, DO NOT charge or plug your phone in via USB whilst it's installing an update. I'm from the UK, didn't recieve my update and so last night I flashed this update and I must say that it improves battery life very well, today was a heavy-usage day, yet check out my stats :D
[HTC One X] dannysmith43:
:thumbup: let's hope for 2d usage and 6 hours screen time!
[HTC One X] lstrike:
I left my phone on USB debug and ran the RUU no fuss. It was slow but I chalked that up to my cheesy 3 year old net book I keep around for giggles.

The update has made a pretty massive difference in the screen corrected a bug where my wallpaper Res never looked good no matter what I did. Feels quicker although that could be plecebo or fresh update. Just feels more responsive in general. Pretty satisfied with the update. Im going to reserve judgement on the battery for a few days.
[HTC One X] bryan.huang:
Please include a screenshot of your screen on time, otherwise its quite hard to gauge your usage :)
[HTC One X] TEKONG84:
Is it only me or anybody experience the same? With new update 1.29, my phone charge so fast for full battery. Takes only around 1 hours to full charge. On 1.28, it takes 3 hours.
[HTC One X] ahm09:
it might be a silly question , but does the update depends on the origin of the device or the country you are using the device in, i bought mine from UK but im using it in UAE ( Middle East )
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Almost certainly country of origin.

UK phone here in the US, and no update.
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
I did ;)
[HTC One X] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
Exactly the instructions ive been waiting to see, flashing 1.29 on my s-off unit now :cool:
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Pretty much what I told you in your thread in Q&A
[HTC One X] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
I know, just didn't realise at the time it was just an application and did everything for you
[HTC One X] jsntrenkler:
I am still debating on whether or not I should just wait for the update. Perhaps I could hold out a couple more days. But I am getting antsy.

[HTC One X] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
Haven't been into the bootloader but under CID getting I'm still SuperCID and my maincid (source of OTA updates I presume) has changed to HTC_001
[HTC One X] mikropixel:
I'm on 1.29 also and it still needs 3 hrs for a full charge :s
[HTC One X] matmar:
Can you check please ?

One guy lost s off applying the ruu ...

Posted few pages back :p

thought i would make its own thread as can easily be overlooked ^_^
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
Above I posted that I had sent a text to an HTC manager about the UK update. He replied this morning asking if I had checked manually and for my imei. Now I really do think it's possible someone made a mistake. I replied making it clear that as far as I can tell, no one has had it in the UK. Maybe they'll add all our imei numbers to a database now and we'll get it fairly soon.
[HTC One X] c4llum:
Interesting... Oh well, they say save the best til last!

Just got this back from HTC manager...

Stay tuned....ill need to investigate and send a few mails. But it seems a bit strange. I received my update this weekend. But that was on a Nordic device. Keep checking manually. I'll keep you informed. Cheers

So at least someone's checking.
[HTC One X] Techimplant:
Sorry for the noob question..but is it advisable to go for a factory reset after every update?..or it isn't necessary..

Sent from my Stunning White HTC One X
[HTC One X] sean.trinidade:
Not generally required. If the update is big enough to require one, it will normally do it itself!
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Not necessary but helps the update to 'take'...but if you're going to do that just flash the RUU instead

[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
I've been away for a while and haven't had a chance to look at the threads...

So what is the situation exactly now? From what I've managed to read did HTC not put our IMEI's into the FOTA update? So we were missed or something or have I gotten the wrong end of the stick?

Also how's your contacts with HTC going @farnsbarns.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Check my posts as I've linked to the HTC server for the OTA - but you can't flash it manually anyway so there's no point downloading it
[HTC One X] mickfitz:
I don't want the 1.29 update if its going to be like the jump from 1.26 to 1.28. Losing beats profiles and worse phone reception without any significant good changes worth mentioning. **** you HTC
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
Just don't install then.
[HTC One X] kitch9:
Hmm, the feedback is generally positive for the updates, you sure you are not doing it wrong?
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
Looks like you got the bad end of the stick.

No worse phone reception here. With the Radio being updated I have Max almost all the time for reception in areas I only ever used to have 1 bar.

Significant upgrade on my side.

As for beats, I only ever use UrBeats with my Solo HD's as it sounds astounding. Why would you ever want so many?
[HTC One X] d33f:
Furthermore all the profiles that were present in in 1.26 where bugged and caused audio stuttering every 20 sec or so.

That issue is resolved in 1.28 and no stuttering anymore when using beats enhancement
[HTC One X] mickfitz:
I didn't suffer from the stuttering in the pro profile or studio profile on my phone, they were the best 2 and they left the worse 2. It went from a good sound to just ok.

Why print beats audio on the device for 2 sub standard profiles? I don't think they planned it this way so hopefully they will return in a future update.

I'll root once warranty is done and I'm sure some rom devs could pull them from 1.26.

Either way ill get them back.
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
Totally agree!

I used studio as I thought the sound was great, the urBeats profile just isn't good enough, I hope they bring back the other 2 soon!
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
Nothings perfect at the end of the day especially for a new phone like the One X.

I'm sure they'll be brought back as Beats is a key seller for music fans.

As it was stated it stuttered for a lot of users so it's easier to revoke all access to every phone in an update than make an impossible challenge of cancelling down phones which don't have the issue.

Now they have to chance to fix the issue and see it back in future updates, the same as the Live Wallpaper stutter and Phase Beam LWP not even working. I don't quite think thats high priority in the world of HTC though.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
The profiles were removed as when they were first made it was before the Beats headphones were made for HTC handsets. At present they're geared around iPhones but future Beats headphones will be tailored to work better with HTC handsets.

At this point the profiles can be better suited to the headphones in question. At this moment in time the Beats integration isn't 100% but it will improve and then HTC can add the profile(s) back in

EDIT: Read that back and it doesn't make perfect sense but you get the idea...
[HTC One X] RenVilo:
Hi,

got my phone last night. It was imported from Singapore and I'm in South Africa.

My current software is 1.28.707.10 but there's no update for me as yet. Should I leave it on this version or should I try upgrading it to the 1.29.xx version? If so how do I do it :)

tx
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
You can only get updates which have x.xx.707.x in it - this is the Europe OTA
[HTC One X] RenVilo:
Ooohhhh... So that's how it works :) Well cool tx man :)
[HTC One X] vitous:
Hmmm

Vita: Hi, my previous session got disconnected. I was wondering if you could tell me when will teh firmware 1.29 be rolled out in UK. OTA I mean

Vita: I can see that no one in the UK had his/her phone upgraded yet but on the continent all the phones where updated

Ryan: to receive the update please follow : From the home screen tap menu - settings - about phone - software update - check now.

Please be aware that if the device reads 'Your device is currently up to date' this can mean that the update server has not reached your device serial number and prepared the update, we send out 30,000 updates a day just so the server does crash, I t make take a few days to receive the update but it shouldn't take too long.

I would advise to search for the update Every evening once a day until you receive the update.

To let me know I have successfully answered your query, please follow the link below to close your enquiry, you will have the opportunity to leave feedback about your experience contacting me today.

Vita: unbranded phones I mean

Vita: I can see hundreds of people complaining that they did not get the update (in UK) but there is not a single HTC One X user who got it

Ryan: Customers are receiving this update. I can assure you of that

Vita: not in UK

Ryan: Yes in the UK

Vita: everywhere else in Europe yes

Vita: ok

Vita: thanks

Vita: i will see on the xda

Ryan: XDA are not a reliable source, but this is your decision.

Ryan: Is there anything else I can help you with today?

Vita: no other forum

Vita: bye
[HTC One X] dannysmith43:
Damn, couldn't resist, manually updated to 1.29 (UK unbranded) - went smoothly :D

The UI doesn't seem any smoother at all but I did notice that the signal has improved and it's only been 30 minutes.

I get very little signal at all at work, it drops out constantly - everyone has the same problem on Orange / T-Mobile, it's really bad - on /off every minute or so. At the moment it I've had 2 bars of signal for the past 30 minutes :eek: and it's dropped out for a few seconds about 3 times?!!

So far very pleased! :)

Where did you find the RUU?

Sent from my HTC One X using Xparent ICS Blue Tapatalk 2
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Support reps have absolutely zero information about rollout plans. I can pretty much guarantee that; I used to work consumer electronics support myself, and so did my wife and many other friends.

Typically, support reps are monitored based on how long it takes to get you off the phone; I'd imagine there's a similar metric for web chat support. Hence, they'll say whatever necessary to get you to hang up or end the chat.

I would read nothing into the above, except that one support rep has found a story that they believe works in getting people off their phone...

I got Ryan too, he must be a busy boy?

Dear Alan,

Thank you for contacting HTC regarding your HTC One X.

My name is Ryan and I am a Technical Support Agent for the HTC Written Team.

I’m sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties with receiving the latest update.

The reason for this is the server has not prepped your update as of yet.

To resolve this, Alan, I would like you to perform the following steps:

From the home screen tap menu - settings - about phone - software update - check now.

Please be aware that if the device reads 'Your device is currently up to date' this can mean that the update server has not reached your device serial number and prepared the update, we send out 30,000 updates a day just so the server does crash, I t make take a few days to receive the update but it shouldn't take too long.

I would advise to search for the update Every evening once a day until you receive the update.

I have just replied saying that my checking has reached OCD levels! I uploaded a screen shot of the 'device up to date message'. I don't think he looked at it.
[HTC One X] c4llum:
My response from htc also suggests they are just reading from a script and ignoring evidence of a delay or technical fault... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25877251
[HTC One X] vsnlweb:
I updated my phone manually via the RUU.... I haven't had it long so can't speak to battery life... I can however say that I charged my phone last night to 100% and in 10hrs over night I lost 5%. Haven't had much usage time as I at work and in meetings... Will let you know when I test it out...
[HTC One X] vitous:
Of course it is from a script as the sentence is exactly the same in both cases - with a mistake.

"Please be aware that if the device reads 'Your device is currently up to date' this can mean that the update server has not reached your device serial number and prepared the update, we send out 30,000 updates a day just so the server does crash, I t make take a few days to receive the update but it shouldn't take too long."

They send only 30000 a day to ensure that the server DOES crash
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Likely not so much a script, as his own cut'n'pasted message. Reason being we don't have any reports of this message coming from anybody except that one agent.

I'd suggest folks calling / emailing in ask for their case to be escalated to a supervisor for response, and so on. The only way we'll get an answer is if the issue is escalated through the chain until it gets high enough to reach somebody who has the first clue what they're talking about. That is almost certainly not somebody on the bottom 2-3 rungs of the ladder.
[HTC One X] Rzrr:
Just had a chat with HTC Online...

Transcript:

Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...

You have been connected to James.

James: Hi Rzrr, thank you for contacting HTC Support, I am looking in to your query now.

Rzrr: Thank you.

James: I can see you are looking for the 1.29 update.

James: What device do you have?

Rzrr: The HTC One X - sorry, should've mentioned that

James: Its not a problem. The update has been released for unbranded devices but because it is an over the air update it can take a while for all devices to get it. It is released from a server we cannot access so we ask you to please be patient.

Rzrr: Okay, but I'm confused as to why I received the 1.28 update within minutes of it being released, and now I'm waiting around as if I was tied to a network waiting for a network release...

James: Because the update is released by serial numbers it is done in a list. It is making its way down that list to release the update.

Rzrr: Is there any order to the serial numbers?

James: Its just done in a list. That is all the information I have.

Rzrr: Or is it entirely random - eg. if I got my unbranded HOX yesterday I'd be at the bottom of the list or such

James: I really would not know. That information we do not have.

James: But please be patient for it as we cannot push or force this out to you.

James: Is there anything else I can help you with today?

Rzrr: No. That's fine. Thanks for the information.

Why can't they just tell us what's happening fully?

And, I think the 30,000 updates a day number is a bit arbitrary - are there even 30,000 activated, unbranded HOX's in the UK?
[HTC One X] MohamadAli:
i have a one x from south africa, i contacted htc online chat support in UK, and they told me that updates from different regions might differ. i asked them about my screen flicker problems and they said that the problem must have been fixed in 1.28 . i am on 1.28 and i still have the flicker issues. im afraid of flashing the RUU, as this update is for EUROPE and not south africa, and i havent received any OTA. any help is appreciated. ALso, i live in the middle east, but in my country there is no htc retailers so i have to buy the phone from a local store, which seems to smuggle phones into this country
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
So can anyone in the UK actually claim to be one of these lucky 30,000 per day? Not seen anyone say they have it via OTA yet.
[HTC One X] mgdew:
I'd say that we are being led a merry dance by HTC, 1.29 will probably not be released in the UK and we will be the first to get 1.30 or something, us on unbranded should have had it by OTA by now..
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Bro Euro RUU will work for the south african, its the same firmware just different CID

i updated two of them by using the 1.29/1.29 RUU

or you can wait since this region received 1.28 already, you can expect 1.29 soon
