[HTC One X] MohamadAli:
can u provide a link for the RUU? and thanks btw.

one last question, are screen flickering issues solved, or not yet? cause htc uk told me that they did fix the problem in the 1.28 update.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
never had out of box flickering issues, my second hox had it only when it over heated past 55 degree it was on 1.28, i installed the 1.29 RUU and it was gone but it didn't over heat again to know for sure

how bad is your flickering? you do mean back-light grey flickering am i correct?

[HTC One X] MohamadAli:
will i have any trouble updating to newer firmwares in the near future if i flash this RUU?
[HTC One X] vsnlweb:
Have you checked the Shipped Rom Thread to see if the Africa region ROM is there... I saw several regions available last time I checked.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
No South African Region is CID_016 its on the list of the European OTAs, its just receiving them a lot later i guess, it already recieved 1.28

Same European firmware number and same RUU/OTA path, you will still receive OTAs pushed to your phone phone after using the RUU

it has no specific firmware, you should be glad ;)
[HTC One X] skr_xd:
Did someone noticed?

OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.7-1.28.401.9_release_259295wbmgoi0p47wgsfl6.zip

RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.7_Radio_1.1204.104.14_release_259281_signed.exe

The OTA seems to have a newer build than the RUU.

So, may be there is some difference between RUU and latest OTA.

May be updated build with some more fixes:confused:

If posted already sorry for repeated info.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Probably just means the RUU was made before the OTA file - I doubt there's a difference
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Those missing the 1.29 OTA update may not get it. If you think about it, it's been a week since HTC said they found what's causing the graphics issues and that update may (hopefully) be nearing completion. If it's imminent, why continue to push out 1.29 to those that don't already have it? I'm on 1.28 and haven't had any issues that make me anxious to take 1.29. Especially knowing another update's soon to follow.
[HTC One X] MohamadAli:
how can u tell which regions are receiving the european OTAs?
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
No, and I'm confident that there is not a single UK retail phone that has received the update outside of HTC headquarters and people who have close contacts there.
[HTC One X] MohamadAli:
how can u tell which regions are receiving the european OTAs?

and thanks for ur help
[HTC One X] brent8577:
thanks to the people that posted the changelog saying Asia wasn't getting an update this round. i had already given up waiting and started trying roms, so i would have been waiting for nothing.
[HTC One X] Ripley:
567MB!!! :eek: That can't be right?

And can I copy my storage onto pc, flash the ruu, then paste storage back, so I dont lose any data?
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Yep. Well, the stuff from the SD card. You'll lose all data from apps, etc. on the phone as it resets it back to factory
[HTC One X] Ripley:
So i download the .exe file to PC, click it, restart my phone and hold power and VOL- as it restarts, select fastboot, then connect phone to PC?

That's what i gather from the bits that have been posted. A step by step guide for noobs would be ideal, probably in a new thread to avoid repetition.

TIA
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
1. Charge the phone to 100%

2. Turn phone off (make sure fast boot is off in Settings>Power)

3. Turn on holding volume down

4. Press power to get to FASTBOOT

5. Connect to PC

6. Make sure Windows installs the right drivers (they come as part of HTC Sync)

7. Once Windows has installed the drivers, start the RUU

8. Follow the instructions

Once done it'll reboot the phone, job done!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
CID listed
[HTC One X] RBFesquire:
I noticed that too but it was copied and pasted from my email. There is also a gap in the IT. I just put it down to Ryan being an idiot.
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
I gave up and ran the RUU. I'm sure someone on here would have chirped in saying they had had it by now.

HTC, poor, very poor.

This kind of thing really ruins any kind of credibility they may have built up from promising to address the issues. If they just came out with the real reason for the delay and a date I'm sure people would be far more understanding.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Am I correct in thinking that you have to use the RUU, not the OTA zip? And that the RUU can't be downloaded directly from HTC's server anywhere, is only available from third party mirrors?

I'm not keen to put something of unknown heritage on my phone, but if I can download and apply the actual update from HTC's server and apply it to a UK phone (so HTC can't claim I am using illegal software), I'd probably go ahead and get this over with, even if it means wiping apps.

It's starting to look like there's been some cockup at HTC, and we're never going to get 1.29 on UK phones if we don't act ourselves.

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that somebody simply fatfingered it and missed queuing the update for UK phones. Ignore anything first-level support says; they almost certainly have no real info.

HTC did go to the effort of making this update, and they did get the previous update out promptly for UK phones. I think it's a bit early to assume malice and throw them under the bus. It's a fact of life; big companies are slow to react, and it takes a long time for complaints to customer-facing reps to filter there way back up to anybody who has the power to actually make a difference.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
I flashed the RUU the other day, it runs fine. RUUs are never official from HTC but they get leaked
[HTC One X] anoniemouse:
I am giving them till the weekend after that i will flash the ruu file, knowing my luck i will do that & 5 minutes later the ota will be available.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Yep, I know they get leaked, but no way to know (for me, anyway) that they've not been modified and anything nefarious added. If the download was identifiable as coming directly from HTC's own server I'd be cool with it, but from a random third party... less so.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
haha exactly :D
[HTC One X] leith51:
They might skip the 1.29 update and jump straight to next one for uk cause rumor has it they know whats causing the screen flicker and working on it day and night and it will be released in the next update so uk could end up with 1.xx first... Just a thought
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
They can't be changed as the phone wouldn't flash them otherwise. Seriously, it works and is my personal preferred method of updating
[HTC One X] BornInCCCP:
Thank you.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
That's where my knowledge isn't sufficient to be confident; I'm sure it's technically possible to have a checksum, hash check, or key of some kind on the file to prevent changes, but I don't know the details and hence don't feel safe. I wouldn't be so cautious if it wasn't for the amount of personal data that passes through a phone. ;-)

It's also partly that, if I have a warranty issue, I don't want HTC asking how I got an update on my phone that they haven't released. If I can say "It came from your own server", that's a bit easier than "Well, I downloaded a random file off the internet, and... please still support me." (!)
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
I don't think this is HTC's fault. I've done some digging and I'm now certain that the networks have to approve the update as well, even for unbranded firmware.
[HTC One X] abc27:
Firstly... why?

Secondly, if they do have to approve OTA updates, why would Vodafone UK/Ireland for example take longer to approve the update than Vodafone DE? 9 days is excessive.
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Please share your source(s) of info
[HTC One X] smartmove:
Just got my unbranded One X (from e2save) on Orange UK, no update to 1.29 yet.
[HTC One X] Spewy1:
STILL no update in the UK!

Come on HTC, wake up and push the ota to us Brits !
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
No I don't believe there's any malice involved, just poor communication and maybe some incompetence.

As for the 30,000 downloads per day. I reckon someone in the support team made that up and it's been passed around the team as an easy get out of jail card. I haven't spotted anyone on XDA in the UK step up and say they have received this via OTA yet.

I'm one of the lucky ones as I've had no real issues with my handset, other than occasionally getting no data connection when attaching to Wi-Fi from mobile data for the first few minutes, but the level of support does worry me at the moment.

As soon as we have a proper S-OFF rooting method I'll step away from HTC's releases and consider my phone a hardware purchase.
[HTC One X] kelvintisw:
Mind my super duper quick question:

Does 1.29 fix that "Force 2D Rendering" non-stick's selection?
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Apparently it does (I've not used it so far, though)
[HTC One X] kelvintisw:
Thanks, buddy!

Cheers!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
I've been waiting for the 1.29 firmware for my Asian WWE HOX, since taiwan already got the TW 1.29 OTA/RUU but so far nothing for WWE

since we can't flash partitions without s-off yet, i've been waiting for the update first before i move to unlock / ARHD

you guys think its coming or will be skipped?, anyone spoke to HTC Singapore?
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Seeing as this thread is for the EU update I doubt anyone has spoken to HTC Singapore ;) :p
[HTC One X] hamdir:
im pretty sure all those seeking 1.29 are looking at this thread, someone confirmed the TW 1.29 rolling out before in this thread, so really no need for the unuseful answer ;)

its better to ask in here than to open a new thread ;)

update: here this is more useful

[HTC One X] nealyblue:
I received it last Friday OTA in the UK on a UK handset, however I believe my handset is a demo unit (written on box) as I won it in a competition with 3.
[HTC One X] mgdew:
I am on unbranded so may RUU update this weekend if the OTA has still not hit the UK, quick question though, my friend has the HOX on o2, can he RUU Update also even though his is not unbranded ? Will it mess anything up for him ?
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
won't work, updates are version-specific. x.xx.401.x is unbranded, x.xx.206.x is o2 so your friend can ONLY use RUUs with x.xx.206.x in them
[HTC One X] coipu1234:
Worth a cidgetter check though, as I bought an O2 contract HOX from Phones4u but for some reason I got an unbranded version. I don't know if this is normal or not.
[HTC One X] Nasalhair:
It's normal. Think about it: P4U sell handsets on all multiple networks so their handsets can't be branded.
[HTC One X] mgdew:
Yep, Phones4U HOX's are not locked to a network, I got mine from there too, he is wishing he had now I bet ;)
[HTC One X] coipu1234:
Lol, one good thing to make up for the rubbish service and constant phone calls offering insurance then :)
[HTC One X] anoniemouse:
They used to do network locked phones as i got my htc desire on orange from them 2 years ago, but i can confirm that they did switch to unbranded phones at some point as i also got my one x from them too.
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
I can also confirm this.

Got my HOX from DialaPhone which is trademark of Phones4u and just checked CID and got HTC__001

Yet this is an 02 Contract phone.
[HTC One X] anoniemouse:
Just had a lengthy online chat to a Georgina at HTC & got told that people in the UK have had the 1.29 update, the same line came out pretty much when i told her that there were loads on 2 different forums who had not & knew nobody that had.

Looks like i will be going RUU update tomorrow
[HTC One X] hamdir:
ok one thing for sure the "roll out" thing for android is not really cool, it ruins all the fun

when an iOS upate roles out, its released globally in the same time, you read online its coming and then you have it

i guess its time i stop fooling myself, there is no need to stick with the official path on Android

All we need is for HTC to make their updates and our chefs will bring them to us in no time, i'm unlocking my device the moment my battery is charged
[HTC One X] bigbamboo5:
To hopefully preclude any more 'I'm in the UK and haven't had the update' posts, might I opine that we've been skipped (for whatever reason) and should just wait for the 1.30, which is hopefully imminent? :)
[HTC One X] mgdew:
I'm with you on that front, only thing stopping me from rooting and using a different ROM is the S OFF issue, I don't want to be in a position where HTC refuse a warranty claim.
[HTC One X] himeshladva:
I've given up waiting for 1.29..

Quick question, if i unlock bootloader via HTCdev and install custom recovery, will i still be able to boot my phone up into stock ROM so i can install superSU and titanium backup all my apps? or does unlocking bootloader automatically wipe everything?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
yes especially since the One X has power management and temp issues out of box

both the 1.28 and 1.29 are critical power management updates

stuck on Asia 1.28 i'm honestly stopping myself of doing anything stressful on the One X so that it doesn't over heat, i found much better temps on my second HOX Euro 1.29 and my new HOX is perfect i don't want heat to damage anything

anyway the Asian WWE has tons of bloatware that i had disable one by one, ARHD here i come :)
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone
[HTC One X] himeshladva:
Thanks! In that case, do you know any apps which I can use to backup all my current apps and app-data that doesn't require root?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
SD?
[HTC One X] vincepg13:
In this general forum there's a thread to do this using adb. I just done it can confirm it works, my phones stock not unlocked. Gonna flash the 1.29 ruu now, great knowing I still have my app data
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
I think so as a factory reset does wipe it, it appears

[HTC One X] hamdir:
Done, unlocked and Android Revolution HD 5.1.1 (base 1.29) is up and running on my Singapore Asia WWE One X

and i have to say i feel much better, ARHD is simply a cleaned up version of the latest stock European firmware with everything stock left intact, since the days of HTC Diamond ARHD team provides the quickest updates when HTC OTAs/RUUs/Betas are outed/leaked

and most important now that i have freed my device, i can finally work on fixing the lag in Sense launcher ;)
[HTC One X] TEKONG84:
Hamdir,

You're on singapore firmware right? How did you flash euro update since it will not match your cid? Is it normal flash stock euro firmware?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
i didn't you can't without S-OFF

i unlocked my device, flashed custom recovery and no im on euro 1.29 based ARHD ROM (custom)
[HTC One X] anoniemouse:
I am waiting till i can get full root with out using the HTC dev site, until then i will keep mine stock & use the RUU to do my update
[HTC One X] eteyen1:
which thread is that? can you link to it please? Also, can you post back after you have flashed the RUU and restored all your apps to say if this actually works?

Thanks

ps- better yet, you can send it me in a PM if you feel like it

Can someone check if the beats profiles have been restored in the 1.29?
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
I kicked up a real stink with HTC about that....wouldn't let the support guy go until he escalated it. Still waiting for an official response though so I am not holding up much hope its there in 1.29

[HTC One X] Rycon33:
Thanks, please keep us posted when it's available, coz most of us here cannot check OTA due to custom rom we're in.

Once we knew from guys like you it's available, then we return to stock rom and do the OTA update.
[HTC One X] stesa:
screen is no more yellowish
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Doesn't matter, it can't be flashed manually
[HTC One X] d33f:
Nope, still the same profiles like in 1.28.

But i think they have removed them because beats was stuttering in 1.26.

So imo it's better to have less profiles, than lots of profiles but stuttering every 10/20 seconds
[HTC One X] akristiansen:
Out in Norway (unlocked atleast)
[HTC One X] jmkhenka:
can someone with the update installed check hboot version in fastboot?

This might be a fix for some of the problems with htcdev. One can hope so.

Also if this indeeed IS A NEW HBOOT, wait and se if you still want a future s-off
[HTC One X] H-Cim:
Got update here. Speeds the phone up! (Belgium)
[HTC One X] cityuk:
any changes anyone notice?
[HTC One X] d33f:
GPU Forced acceleration is working now :)

Also i noticed less noise in dark pictures (could be me though)

And overall a decent speedup GUI wise (haven't tried any games yet).

Quadrant/AnTuTu scores seem lower than on 1.28.
[HTC One X] aslan93:
yes, make sure you have stock recovery before you flash though :)
[HTC One X] dynamiclynk:
downloading now. CID HTC_203 --> Unbranded
[HTC One X] skyn8t:
Man this sure is frustrating. I ordered the phone from UK just so (i thought) updates would be faster with the UK version......And i know you can just use the RUU but already waited this long.................
[HTC One X] anoniemouse:
I got fed up waiting & used the RUU to update, took 7 minutes on my pc to update the phone & 50 minutes to reinstall all my apps & set the phone up how i had it.

That's a lot less time than i have waited for the update through the OTA method.:D
[HTC One X] dortok:
unlocking bootloader does factory reset. your stock rom will be there to use but all you data will be gone.
[HTC One X] sr1ks:
Finally Given up!! and using the RUU to update.. thanks for nothing HTC
[HTC One X] Ripley:
I just updated, took 10 minutes :)
[HTC One X] diggedy:
is it that much different to make it worth updating via the RUU?
[HTC One X] anoniemouse:
The phone seems to get a better signal on the wi fi & phone signal appears better too, the battery seems to hold up better too.

Antutu benchmark scores are lower, back where they were on the original 1.26 firmware.

The funny thing is the phone seems more responsive.
[HTC One X] sr1ks:
and i have read that the Force GPU rendering hold now in Dev Options,

that + more screen on time + more responsive ness is defintely worth

and additionally getting an RUU means you clean up all the crap we have installed on the phone :)
[HTC One X] anoniemouse:
GPU rendering does hold in Dev options, the other things you point out seem to be correct too
[HTC One X] ajftl:
Asia Asia Asia Asia update. Whennnnnnn.
[HTC One X] Rycon33:
Been eagerly awaiting also for asia wwe. They released the Taiwan fw (and even got ruu) too early than other Asian firmware. Too much patriotism there:D
[HTC One X] vincepg13:
Guys HTC clearly aren't releasing this update any further than the placed they already have. Those using the UK one x just use adb to back up all your apps and data, it's an ics feature and doesn't require root. With everything backed up no reason not to update. Updating and restoring everything took me 30 minutes!!
[HTC One X] ste1164:
I was in an O2 store today and they had an unbranded handset which had a notification for the update. So unless it was a different model the 1.29 update should be being pushed out.
[HTC One X] eteyen1:
Can you please link to the thread that shows how to back up using adb?

Just to confirm...you've done it and managed to restore all your app data...including saved game data?
[HTC One X] vincepg13:
Yep done exactly what it said and worked perfectly. All app data restored, still got my game data in shadowgun and temple run, my 2 fav games :D

Probably a previous update, or a non-retail phone. It's still not available.
[HTC One X] brent8577:
i would imagine that someone from HTC has been reading the kernel threads and they're doing some type of work with that before any more updates come.
[HTC One X] Swoop2:
I spoke to a guy called Kevin from HTC Support UK. He told me that 1.29 hasn't been announced for the UK yet and they have no official information about when/if it will be.

I think some assumptions have been made by websites that Europe means every country in Europe. It looks like it might not be the case and even if it does, it doesn't mean we'll get it any time soon. My HTC runs fine on 1.28 anyway so I'll just stop checking and have a pleasant surprise if it one day turns up.
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
HTC aren't allowed to confirm things about software unless its already officially announced or is in the roll-out stage. If you rung up about the Desire HD getting ICS, you'd get told about the fact that that and around 12 other phones are expecting the update.
[HTC One X] Torc'qua:
I'm with you on that one.

Battery is fine, Performance, Signal etc.

If we get 1.29, yes that's a pleasant surprise but it's not priority. Wouldn't mind being the first country to get say 1.3x.xxx shall we say.
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
I've spoken to HTC twice now on the phone over the last week, who CONFIRMED on both occasions that it was released to the UK on 1st May!

I had the yellow spots issue when I got my phone but that seems to have cleared up, only issue I have remaining is a flicker when I have a grey screen, such as when Google Play is loading. I was hoping 1.29 might fix that.
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
1.29 is not a fix for the screen flicker. 1.3 or maybe even 1.31 will.

Hi All,

I have an O2 locked UK HOX that I'm about to return under the 14 day cooling off period due to the lack of updates to resolve the battery issue. Shame as otherwise its an outstanding phone!

What would I need to do to get 1.28 or 1.29 on my phone? Never rooted etc before and looking for an excuse to not return it and wait for a better deal!

Thanks

Ed
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
You can't do anything - you HAVE to get it from o2
[HTC One X] craggybuk:
Go to an independant such as Carphone Warehouse or Phones4U and get them to match your O2 deal. Their phones are unbranded which means you'll 'hopefully' be one of the first to get the updates. You will get 1.28 straight away but for 1.29 you'll need to flash a RUU or wait a bit longer.
