The OTA Update:

Your phone will download the OTA update as a zip file in the Download folder.

------------------------------------

The Problem:

------- quote by jackdowsan -------

I downloaded the file, placed it in my zip, went to cwm recovery and tried intall zip from sd card, it failed saying something about signature verification....

What are my options? I am on stock with root and custom recovery..

------------------------------------

The Solution:

I was in the same situation and I've resolved it by extracting the original OTA recovery.img from the OTA Update zip and flashed it through fastboot. Then I've updated the system software successfully and flashed back the ClockworkMod recovery.

If somebody needs a step by step guide, please see below:

WARNING! You may loose your root access after this procedure. Do not worry. You can root it again the same way you did before, or much easily by using the application Voodoo OTA RootKeeper (free, no ads, on the market). Just install it before you start and then again after the process to restore your root access.

1. Send the system software update archive located in your phone's download folder to your PC. Open it and inside you'll find another archive - firmware.zip. Open it and extract the original OTA recovery.img. Put it in the same folder with the fastboot.exe file.

2. On your HTC One X, enable USB debugging by going to Menu>>Settings>>Applications>>Development>>USB debugging and check-mark the box.

3. Turn OFF your smartphone using the Power button.

4. Press and hold Volume DOWN button and then immediately press Power button. Select Fastboot mode from the menu that appears on the screen.

5. Connect your phone to your PC using the USB cable that came with it.

6. Open a Command Prompt Window on your Desktop, go to the folder with your fastboot.exe and then type in the following commands. It will flash recovery on your phone.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

7. When the flashing is done, simply enter the following command into Command Prompt Window to reboot your phone.

fastboot reboot

8. You have successfully installed the original OTA Recovery on your HTC One X. Start the phone update again and it'll successfully update to 1.29.401.11. Your job is done! :-)

9. Once everything is completed you can put ClockworkMod Recovery again by following the steps above but instead of using the OTA recovery.img file use the ClockworkMod recovery.img.

Cheers,

P.S. Sorry if this thread is not in the right place. Please move it if it's necessary. I'm still new here :-)
[Android General] jackdowsan:
Thanks a ton, would try this today :-)
[Android General] jackdowsan:
Just tried it, something did not go right, firtly, I had a little different update file then yours, I had

OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.7-1.28.401.9_release_259295wbmgoi0p47wgsfl6

which is like 34.5mb or something....

I extracted it and got recovery.img from firmware.zip and followed your guide, but after fastboot reboot, when I entered my phone, I still see it on 1.28.401.9

what could be wrong? I saw the fastboot recovery command executed just fine...what else can it be?

Thanks!
[Android General] lirex:
This solution should work on any OTA phone with custom recovery and root access.

So you flashed the OTA recovery.img, restarted the phone and in the normal mode you started the System Software update, right? My phone installed the update with no problems and it was showing the new version. The thing I lost was the root access but I explained how to gain it back.

If an experienced developer is reading this thread they may be able to advise us why the solution did not work with your phone.

I am trying to watch Vudu on my phone and need it to see my Note as a desktop anyone know how to do that on the Note. i have googled somethings and none of them seem to be working for me.

Any Ideas??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] porkenhimer:
Use a desktop browser like Skyfire or Dolphin HD. You can find both browsers and more in market.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] porkenhimer:
Here is two screenshots from Vudu watching a trailer with Skyfire Browser. One is showing fullscreen mode and one isn't. The trailers I watched played excellent with skyfire.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
Yea im able to watch trailers too, but when i play the movie it just never loads it buffers and then just stays black. but the trailers play just fine. thanks for testing that out. im sure i might need some sort of flash hack at this point.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistermentality:
I had a tasker profile that switches screen lock off when I'm near my local cell tower.

However I found it would often not be active so today made a profile that will unlock my phone if my home wifi connection is found.

However this works one moment then not at all. It says no active profile despite wifi on and connected so can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I have it so that if wifi near = home ssid then unlock phone, and wifi always on (never sleeps) but still nothing.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistermentality:
Well I got a different profile working so if wifi connected it unlocks screen but works fine for hour and then stops even though still connected and tasker says the profile is active.

This happens with all profiles on my phone. Very frustrating to have to untick then retick then switch tasker off then on to activate it each time it stops.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yang704:
Has any one notice that flash player lag in all ICS rom? In case some of you have no idea what I'm talking about. Open up your browser and go to yahoo home page than touch setting and view as desktop. Click on any video that play in the browser. Watch and you'll see what I'm talking about. NO! is not my internet connection, I'm on wifi with the turbo package 15MBPS above and beyond your imagination.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtr145r:
I have noticed this as well.

I am also using an add blocker and I think that has something to do with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yang704:
add blocker has nothing to do with media streaming. I think is the rom it self. It's a leak so kernel are not stable. I can't wait till june for the official release.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtr145r:
Well considering some ads are flash based yes it does.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yang704:
I finally figure out. It's the modem. I flash back to EL29 and it is working perfectly with no lag. I'm on AOKP build 26 with EL29 modem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Amphibliam:
If you have root, then be careful. If you authorize 10 devices (different ROMs) to your Google Account, then you can't add any more. It used to be as simple as deauthorizing devices every time you reach you limit. As of now, you can only deauthorize 4 device PER YEAR. Be careful...I just had to reupload all my music to a different account because of this.

MEGA SUPER ULTRA EDIT: Google appears to have fixed the issue. Both Adrynalyne and I can now deauthorize devices. It still says the 4 device restriction applies, but seems to be fixed. YAY GOOGLE!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snkrhead2323:
Good thing I just deauthorized all but two devices! This blows
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swimdude1120:
when did this start happening? I unauthorized devices all the time on my account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Amphibliam:
I called and they said it happened within the last 60 days. They couldn't do anything, but passed it onto Level 2 Tech Support and will email me if they can manually deauthorize my devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Got phones?

...of the people, by the people, for the people...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragnarokx:
How does Google determine if your device is the same or not? Something in build.prop? If when flashing between ROMs we keep this value the same, your device would always appear to be the same. Problem solved.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
Me too! I did just check to make sure it wouldn't let me deauthorize anymore, and Amphibliam is correct. Quite a bummer. Do let us know if you are able to manually deauth any devices or if any other workarounds are found.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
I think it has to do with how the app authenticates with your Google account. Each time you click "allow" on the prompt to allow the Music app access to your account counts as an activation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
I'm stealing this info thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anthonok:
Def. Need to find a way around this. I'm maxed out on deauthorizations and I'm at 8 devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragnarokx:
Last time I changed ROMs and restored Google Music with data via MyBackup, it didn't ask me to authorize - it was already authorized. Potential work around?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Amphibliam:
Possibly. Doesn't help me at this point. My tenth device was reached when I upgraded to build 36. I forgot to flash gapps, so it killed all my google accounts. I tried restoring data from the Music app on my Inc2, but no dice. My guess is once this s**t really hits the fan, people are gonna find a fix. If this happens again with no workaround, my fix is called Amazon MP3.

"Please note that you can only revoke access to four devices per year."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
They can't provide an AOSP supported device and then limit Google services to it and not expect an uproar.

Seems to me a simple data wipe would do the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Amphibliam:
Honestly, the only reasons why this isn't widespread is because people just haven't flashed enough ROMs yet. This won't just affect the Nexus, but ANY rooted Android device that flashes 15 or more ROMs in a year. Which is like 99% of the rooted population. My guess is that within 1-2 months, this will be all over the internet. I was just unlucky enough to be one of the first. But this really is absurd. What is the reasoning behind limiting the # of devices that can be revoked? Absolutely ridiculous.

And yes, any data wipe would do the same thing, so I imagine if you have a phone with issues (like the Nexus) and you buy the first one, then try 2-3 data wipes/different ROMs to get signal drops/color/whatever fixed. That's 3 devices. Then, they get 2 more Nexuses, and try the same thing on the first, but the second device is fine, so they flash a ROM. That's already 7-9 devices right there. That means you can only flash 5-7 ROMs before you encounter this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Wiping a device has the same effect.

You don't need to flash a rom, because it doesn't change your esn, meid, or even your android_id.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Amphibliam:
I updated my post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I am sure that once this issue is out in the open, it will be a rule that you can only deauthorize 4 unique devices each year. As of right now it is not differentiating between multiple instances of the same device.

I have no idea who to ***** at, but I'll support anyone who starts a complaint, petition, or whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quick_:
It was mentioned earlier but, what I do is restore my "accounts/sync" with titanium backup.

That way you don't have to authorize the device each time.

Be sure to:

After backing up all apps and system data, then after flashing a new ROM on first boot, install titanium backup (pro or not) VIA APK

Then run Titanium Backup and restore the accounts

Then restore the google music app with DATA via Titanium Backup

Then use the market and music like normal without any need for autorizing a new device etc..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
As rooted users we have additional options.

Stock users are going to get backdoored without vaseline.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anthonok:
Stock users are doubtfully gonna see this issue...unless they go through 15 devices a year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Read the thread again.

People wipe data all the time. The authorization system is flawed. It treats the same device as multiple devices.

In fact, it doesn't even take a data wipe. Simply re-adding an email account will do it (if Google music is tied to it).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
What if they have it tied to a desktop, a laptop, a tab?

This just all around sucks. Google and their retardedness is retarded.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlyberd:
How come they can't already tell when I'm using the same device multiple times? It says right here in the Help documentation:

The IMEI doesn't change no matter what ROM you're running, yet somehow I get another device added every time I flash. Something is seriously wrong with their authentication system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Agreed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
This is just ridiculous. Hope they do something about this soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Totally idiotic restriction by Google. I have two Asus tablets and one Lenovo laptop I DON'T EVEN OWN ANYMORE on my account. Won't let me remove them.

Not good.

At least Microsoft's Zune lets you remove one device per month.

This blows. Time to get tech blogs involved, although I doubt it will do any good since the restrictions are to appease the record industry.

DRM is the worst thing ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
As long as they actually fix the identification of android devices, it will be a non-issue. I shouldn't have 6 instances of my phone listed..and yet, I do.

So no, this is a bug. This is not a legit restriction.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Amphibliam:
I have not received an email from google still. This is absurd and is a major issue that really needs to be addressed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Is it a major issue cause you just made this thread 3 hours ago and its still not fixed?

...of the people, by the people, for the people...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Amphibliam:
No, it's a major issue right now, and will be widespread in the community in a month or two after EVERYONE reaches their limit. I didn't say it needed to be fixed this instant. Obviously, it would be nice, but not gonna happen. Hopefully they'll do something about it in the coming weeks. But thanks for trollin'.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T-Keith:
Great I was wondering why I couldn't get mine to work today. I've had to deauthorize devices many times now. Wtf? How can I get it to work if I'm past first boot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Amphibliam:
I haven't tried the guy's Accounts and Sync TB restore thing, as I don't have a backup, but you can give that a shot if you can. If not, you're kinda stuck bud. :/ Looks like you're #2. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Noodles5666:
Ummmm. Don't know what you are going on about. I just unauthorized 10 devices yesterday as I hit my limit with my last Flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Amphibliam:
Well, for me and many other, it doesn't work. You can see the message that is shown on the first page.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anthonok:
ive deauhorized devices within the last month with no problem but now i get the message that i cant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GatorsUF:
I just deauthorized 6 or 7 devices today...no problem for me.

However if you are stuck try this:

Do nandroid backup

Then restore an old backup (hopefully you have one)

Once restored install Titanium backup or MyBackup

Backup the music app with data

Restore you new nandroid

Uninstall Music

Restore Music thru TiBu or MyBackup with data

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] otakonx:
This is bull$hit, Google

I'm having the same problem. I recently bought an HTC One X unlocked but it was defective so I sent it back to HTC. My replacement came and I received the too many devices error. When I tried to deauthorize my 3 Galaxy Tabs and two HTC Inspires I received the "too many deauth" error. So I can't even remove duplicate entries for the same device... This is utter bull$hit. I completely understand the 10 device limit but the deauthorizing limit is ridiculous. And it's even worse that Google doesn't track devices via unique ID like a serial number. It's almost like they've geared this towards users that root. First, no more NFC for root users and now this crap?! What the hell are they doing over there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pilotbluemike:
count me in as a person who is now stuck with 10 authoized devices and no ability to deactivate any of them, since i've apparently gone over Google's poor judgement limit. This is ridiculous.. a limit on deauthorizing.. i mean come on, was to turn people away from using your services. I emailed Google and asked for a mannual deauth of all my devices... doubt they will respond, but it was worth a shot.. otherwise no Google Music on my phone until 2013. Just plain stupid.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
For those having issues with authorizations, were all the activations done when Google play music was installed as a data app? I haven't had any issues and I'm pretty sure I've installed it on at least 10 different roms but I usually use titanium backup to convert it to a system app (actually backed up as a system app so it's already installed to system before even using it) I never had to authorize any special permissions for it besides the app set up

This is terrible news. It's already bad enough that they haven't changed some things to google music that I wanted.

I hope this is changed FAST.

Not that this is an ideal solution, but cant you just use the website to listen to music if you meet your limit? their mobile webapp isnt awful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coltronathon:
Wow. I'm glad I happened to see this thread. This comes at a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE time for me. I have 9 authorized and am at the deauth limit. 6 Gnex, 1 tablet, 2 computers lol. Like all of you I tend to be flash happy but lately it's been for a legit reason! I've been getting warranty replacements for having a bad screen so I've burned through like 4 authorizations in the last week alone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crunchybutternut:
Same thing for me, but odd part is I have never deauthorized a device before today, and I was only allowed 1 deauthorization before getting the message.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrlocus:
I would be OK with a deauthorization limit, but 4 per YEAR is just way too less.

This may be enough meet the casual user, but Google just forgot us geeks and tech-fans who will change/reinstall operating systems or get a few new gadgets every year.

I think allowing deauthorization of 1 device per week would avoid any abuse of the service.

In hope for change,

mrlocus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hp420:
I'm so glad I just cleared my list out about 2 weeks ago. I've only got 3 authorized devices right now. With the amount of AOKP updates we get, I could run out in a month though, easily.

This sort of seems counter-productive to me, also....google's OFFICIAL devices are intended to run open source firmware. Yes, they provide official google-built roms as well....but their original, and fore-most intention is to be a reference device. So they WANT you to build your own rom...and improve on it. They want you to flash multiple roms to your device....and every time you do that you have to re-authorize with your google music account. So, this tells me that they don't want developers to use google music. If they did, they would cater to you and allow as many deauthorizations as are needed. This goes against everything google stands for!!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jyveafk:
It's probably music industry saying 'activations' when it makes more sense to be 'devices'. Activations is a quick hack to count devices, but as we know here, woefully wrong when flashing taken into account.

HAS to be a more elegant solution to this and still keep the record companies happy.
