I assume when you say the "complete update" your talking about a file size of around 550 megs ?

If that is so, I personally woudn't entertain trying to d/l that on my 3meg connection, so god only know what people still on dial up will think!

Then you have to re-install all your apps and files!

You are aware of the transfer speed of USB 2? I've only got 1.8gb of music on my HOX at the moment and that took a good 1/2 hour to transfer.

And it's not a simple case of just re-install your apps

ebay

amazon

paypal

capital one

ocado

tesco

sainsburys

nectar

etc,etc etc.....all these apps have passwords, log on details, card details, etc, etc

I use gosms pro for messaging....i've got it now set perfect, but it took about an hour in total to customise everything like I want it.

Special ringtones for certain people, linking photos back to contact list

Then setting up wifi again, email accounts, gmail, htc hub, the list is endless!

RUU to me and to many others don't forget will be a complete nightmare!
[HTC One X] Cloudane:
Ah right, thanks for the info. I'm rather new to all this (technical background but came from iOS) so will have to learn the process and how to ensure I get the right files and don't kill my warranty just yet.

(If there's an idiot's guide somewhere I'm all ears, but not to worry about using lmgtfy.com as I'll Google it myself later otherwise :D)
[HTC One X] aslan93:
Mate.. ruu is an official HTC program. Nothing will go wrong unless you flash the wrong version or try to roll back on s on. The only bad thing is losing your apps(all the data will remain in this case) there are apps in play store that can back up your apks and restore in under ten minutes .. I can even guide people and give links and trust me in twenty minutes you'll have the latest version and all your apps like before if you are on unbranded UK which i assume everyone here is

Edit: no root or unlocked bootloader needed at all
[HTC One X] xavier2k3:
Got an unbranded HOX and the latest update not showing via OTA. The previous 3 did after I nandroid restored my stock backup and then flash stock recovery. Only updated up to 1.29.401.7. Going the RUU route instead.
[HTC One X] ghori1989:
How does the RUU get "leaked"?

Im only asking because the downloads are allways on fileshare sites. I have not seen a link on the official htc uk site.
[HTC One X] :
I've just flashed via the RUU. No problem at all.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Someone who knows someone at HTC gets them and uploads them. They're normally for the service centers to use to reflash a device
[HTC One X] beno619:
Can somebody post instructions for RUU on unrooted One X's ?
[HTC One X] jonneymendoza:
give what time to bed lol
[HTC One X] Naths:
Got the update today....although I'm in Turkey on holiday...lol
[HTC One X] :
I wondered the same. Thanks for that
[HTC One X] ghori1989:
Download the latest HTC Sync

Download the Europe 1.29.401.11 RUU update

Charge the phone to 100% (I think the min amount is 30%)

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

Turn on holding volume down

Press power to get to FASTBOOT

Connect to PC

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

Once Windows has installed the drivers, start the RUU

Follow the instructions

Taken from Ripley's post on the 1.29.401.7 post
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
I got a update in the uk yesterday but tit was. .7 is .11 a new one we should be getting
[HTC One X] beno619:
Thanks Il try this tomorrow, forgot to add im branded on Vodafone, does it make any difference ?
[HTC One X] :
The RUU only works on unbranded.
[HTC One X] colin_404:
Vodafone will have their own RUU
[HTC One X] diggedy:
How does one do this then. I only know titanium backup with root or the adb method
[HTC One X] diggedy:
Strange but that shouldn't matter. I thought it only worked in the country it was bought in. Was it not the .7 update?
[HTC One X] beno619:
Aww imma sad panda :(
[HTC One X] aslan93:
App from play store called "app backup and restore" no root required it just backs up the apps and not the data (you need root for that) however this particular ruu won't touch your data if you're already on 1.29.xxx.7 or whatever it was. So back them up, do the ruu then download the app from playstore it will see the backups and you can restore from there. Took me about ten minutes to restore 100 apps
[HTC One X] DNolan:
Running version 1.29.401.7, Network: 3 Ireland. System update went live about 2 days ago for me, Only just got round to doing it now.
[HTC One X] aslan93:
This guide is perfect everyone just follow this and what I said about restoring apps
[HTC One X] beno619:
Is there anywhere we can get access to the Vodafone RUU or will we have to wait for the ota update before an RUU will be available ?
[HTC One X] aslan93:
You can go to Vodafone and ask them if they have it :)
[HTC One X] huwwatkins:
Read the OP - we are talking about 1.29.401.11
[HTC One X] colin_404:
Doubt it branded phones are even further behind with updates in the uk.
[HTC One X] :
The thing that annoys me is having to go into the settings and tweak them all to how I had them before the RUU.
[HTC One X] MrPhilo:
I'm sure Ireland is in UK? lololol
[HTC One X] colin_404:
Thats probably why the Euro isnt working very well for them, nobody told them that.
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Same, I wish we could just ruu the extra files instead of a whole new install, now i have to steal all my neighbours and workmates router passwords again
[HTC One X] BenPope:
UK, or, United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland, to give it it's full name, does not include the Republic of Ireland.
[HTC One X] MrIT:
Hi all .

how to use ruu.exe file ?

thanks for advance!
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
Double click it :thumbup:
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
What, like an OTA update?? ;)

This is just it. You either wait for the OTA

or

you use an RUU and have to set the phone up again
[HTC One X] Ripley:
As long as my sd card contents remain, which so far they have, i'm happy to ruu as opposed to waiting 2 weeks.
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
Well I'll be checking my phone come 10.29am, as that is the time the other update went live! :)
[HTC One X] MancUK:
It's live on 3, my mate just text me to let me know. Gloating of course as I'm on T-Mobile so will therefore have to wait at least another couple of weeks :mad:
[HTC One X] dafadau:
Nothing here on 3...
[HTC One X] Patersr03:
For UK I recieved an email this morning,

Hi Ross

Further to your feedback, im happy to report the following;

HTC is committed to delivering a high quality product and great experience for all our customers. We have had some reports of screen flickering and have developed software updates to fix this issue. Customers in EMEA should begin receiving a software update notification in the next few days. Once downloaded and installed, this update will resolve the screen flickering issue. HTC is committed to delivering a quality experience and we apologize for any inconvenience customers have experienced and appreciate your patience as we have worked quickly to address this issue

I replied and was told it will be rolled out week commencing 20th May 2012

This was sent to me by a HTC regional manager who only got informed of this update yesterday so this might be newer than 1.29.401.11
[HTC One X] phil112345:
sure its .401.11? If it only got pushed out today I doubt 3 would have modified it to their liking already..
[HTC One X] J4Luf:
Is this update live across Europe? (aside from the UK as we always get them last apparently)
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Yes it is (apparently)
[HTC One X] J4Luf:
Time to get back on the phones to HTC.

I've kinda missed hearing that their servers can only handle 30,000 people per day.....
[HTC One X] slvrarrow:
Is a phone bought from Carphone Warehouse "debranded"? Even if bought with a contract to TMobile? I see no TMob branding at all.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Yes, CPW stock unbranded handsets - you just get the SIM card when you get it with a contract
[HTC One X] anubis1980:
Yes it should be, i got my Orange update from there for that reason, its an unbranded HOX. (one way to tell is download CID getter from app store and it should be HTC__001 to be unbranded)
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
Someone has mentioned that a HTC rep has advised this update is coming w/c 20/5/12.

Whats a little strange with this update itself is that I can't see anything official about it! HTC only have a notification on there site about the .7 update that came out on the 1/5/12.
[HTC One X] J4Luf:
I agree its strange. For .7 at least HTC confirmed it was out.

Need this update to fix my SD problem though.
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
Same here, my sd card has 13gb missing into the twilight zone!

However I have heard that it's a bug with regard to the reading of the space, IE we haven't lost the space, if you try putting 25gb on it, it will take it apparantly!
[HTC One X] J4Luf:
I've tried putting stuff on it and it says no memory space left. I read on another forum that .11 solves it.

You can always format it, but its a hassle to do regularly. I've given up and I'm waiting for the update
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
Conflicting reports then, but yes that's one of the main corrections with .11 as well as more screen flickering solutions.

One thing that's driving me mad is all the so called UK Tech News sites, reporting that the .11 update is out, they need to check their sources!

This one for example "androiduknewsetc.com"...with the tagline "all things android in the UK" :mad:
[HTC One X] mobilitytoday:
Anyone in the USA getting the OTA on Non AT&T Branded One X?
[HTC One X] louis.b:
Apparently "Europe" means continental Europe lolol
[HTC One X] ratedr75:
On 3 here with my second on and no update apart from the 1.28 which I got within 5 mins of the phone being turned on.

#FFS HTC
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
Apparently they have sold 2 million of these buggers now!
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
I've just phoned them, and the tech guy had no idea at all as to why the UK/Ireland hasn't seen the update.

His words about it were "I'm having a shot in the dark here, but it's possibly to do with the version getting into "english" Vs "american english"

We need to keep pestering them again now, so here we go again folks...

HTC phone No 0845 8900079 (9am-9pm Mon-Fri, 9am -1pm on Sat!)
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Or just flash the RUU (after an adb backup of course). Then restore the backup once updated
[HTC One X] J4Luf:
Sounds like HTC reps have found a new excuse......
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
Yes we know you keep telling us...BUT this thread is for Over The Air updates.
[HTC One X] Patersr03:
Yeah that was me that mentioned that earlier, I was advised by HTC regional manager for Scotland about this as I feedback a lot of issues to him, as I'm part of the HTC ambassador scheme, basically we get latest handsets from HTC and report to them the bugs. Why my white one has superCID on it.

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

The white HOX I have is a test model and I only just received .11 update earlier today.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
I'm not disputing that, what I'm saying is why wait on HTC? Just do it yourself! It's official so you're not going to lose your warranty and it means you get to enjoy the benefits of the update weeks before those who wait
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Exactly, why wait and moan when you can ruu and be happy
[HTC One X] det66:
Cause then you have to set your phone up again every time
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Not if you back it up using the adb backup process
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
And some of us have better things to do! :D
[HTC One X] :
I think people would rather moan about it. It gives them something to do
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
Ahhh right...so your "in the know" then ? ;)
[HTC One X] aslan93:
So what's the point of this thread ? To complain ? There's no problem because the ruu is out JUST INSTALL IT! You can easily back up all your stuff you won't lose anything and this is even better than doing ota.. at least not worse, just do it
[HTC One X] dannysmith43:
I just ran the RUU...used My Backup Pro for apps and copied off entire SD to my desktop, about 1 hour to backup, install and have everything back as it was. Seems like a long task but it's not at all..
[HTC One X] ratedr75:
Also some people don't have the confidence to go using ADB to program their handsets.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Then they shouldn't be using Android ;)

Always good to read up on what you may need to do should things go wrong :D

I'm joking of course, but I (personally) always make it my business to know everything about an OS before use
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
I thought it was only companies that had "fanbois"...not a frigging procedure!
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
If the OTA came out the same time as the rest of Europe I wouldn't need to use the RUU. As it happens, it didn't so I didn't want to wait to benefit so used the RUU

It's my choice, as it is yours to wait. But, if you wait, you forfeit your right to complain
[HTC One X] brent8577:
we have enough ota threads....
[HTC One X] BATFINK74:
should i backup using adb or app backup and restore,please advise whats the best way?
[HTC One X] aslan93:
This RUU WON'T ERASE YOUR DATA IF YOU'RE COMING FROM THE LATEST VERSION: 1.29! it will only erase your apps and settings. For God's sake it takes fifteen minutes to put them back in and use one of the many apps to restore your apps. Even if you are a complete retard you will still be able to update in half an hour, no root or unlocking or adb needed at all (though would be helpful but NOT necessary )
[HTC One X] BATFINK74:
yeah im on .7 at the mo,now to find the ruu and latest htc sync,cheers
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
It'll erase apps using an RUU, it just won't touch your SD card
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
RUU, RUU, RUU....half of the people posting in here must spend 1/2 of there life taking it in turns to perch on Long John Silver's shoulder!:)
[HTC One X] aslan93:
I.know I just didn't finish my post hit submit by an accident :)
[HTC One X] Patersr03:
I know as much as the Regional Manager does, basically I get to mess around with handsets that not officially released. I got HOX two days before, and already played with the desire c.

But anyway my UK HOX test model got the .11 update today hopefully all retail handsets get it soon.

Was informed it was been released week starting 20/05/2012
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
Don't you know the real reason though of why the UK/Ireland is getting it late ?..or if not, can't you find out ?
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
You'll have an S-OFF device, hence the OTA early (all review/demo models are S-OFF and already have the update)

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

The problem here is that HTC, with every device, has always released the OTA updates in mainland EU first - normally with Holland/Germany being the first to receive it. It's something I've been asking my contacts in HTC but they don't know why it works that way. I've suggested changing it but they have no say in the OTA process
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
Well that is a fair comment, but as you know everyone got 1.28 at basically the same time. If HTC can do it like that, then now why the delay ?

Was it just a fluke that the UK got it then with the rest of mainland europe?
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
No they didn't, mainland EU got it a day or so earlier - OK not like the wait for 1.29 but they got it first

There has to be a method in rolling it out as otherwise EVERYONE on x.xx.401.x would get the OTA at the same time. HTC HAVE to control the rollout somehow, be it IMEI or CID
[HTC One X] Patersr03:
Never crossed my mind about asking, since you have asked me about it I have asked the question and should get a reply soon.
[HTC One X] Ripley:
It takes less time than the time taken to moanpost over and over about lack of OTAs
[HTC One X] :
:D Well said
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
Blimey I've not long made a post about parrots, seems quite apt now to make one about cages being rattled!
[HTC One X] aslan93:
Absolutely
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
Touché!
[HTC One X] nms247:
Just been told by Three they get the update in for testing for next week. So hopefully by june I'll have the update. *Sighs*

@nemesisuk We're getting software in for testing next week, so we'll tweet when we have more news :-)
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
He's just lit that blue touch paper again :eek:

I keep doing my best to blow "it" out (but it keeps coming and coming and coming back!)
[HTC One X] BATFINK74:
and i get get this magical RUU where?

not to worry found it

RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio _1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed

http://www.multiupload.nl/XOHJV008MI
[HTC One X] bigbamboo5:
That's disappointing. I assumed that even though the unbranded handsets were getting the OTA later than the rest of Europe, the Networks would have had it earlier (as Voda Germany would have it to pass on to Voda UK and so on) and thus branded software would be passed through the system faster...
[HTC One X] casci:
Yesterday I've update with RUU, follow the standard procedure that I've always used (device normally on, not in fastboot, how say the majority in xda threads),

All well and I don't lose the SD contents.

So, if you won't wait for the OTA notification, why don't try?
[HTC One X] BATFINK74:
thats weird cant even install htc sync

Htc bmp usb 1.0.5375 driver fails to install :(
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
You don't need HTC Sync to run an RUU, although you do need the drivers...strange it won't install. I take it you got the latest from the HTC website?
[HTC One X] BATFINK74:
yes eddy,htc sync installs as far as that particular driver and fails,been googling it but cant find the info i need,weird that is
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Sounds like a USB issue, reminds me of hassle I had with iTunes. The USB port is ok with other devices?
[HTC One X] BATFINK74:
yeah usb is fine ripley,all i done was run it as administrator and the driver installed,bloody computers,anyway iv updated via the latest RUU restored all my backups and now on latest 1.29.401.11,storage issue appear to be fixed,never had the flicker issue so cant comment
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Nice one mate, just a random wtf then lol
[HTC One X] BATFINK74:
hahahaha yeah one of those wtf moments lol
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Everything does it, cars, phones, women...women alot!
[HTC One X] BATFINK74:
aint that the bloody truth lol
[HTC One X] eddyedwards007:
Eddy mate,you keep pushing about the RUU, but that's no good for us on branded phones am I right?
[HTC One X] ste1164:
Nope it won't work for branded phones I'm afraid.
[HTC One X] ajftl:
Asia devices would never get this update lol. Taking forever
[HTC One X] Stakkertoo:
Got 401.7 yesterday in London on Vodafone unlocked.
[HTC One X] kwtmoon:
now we will waiting for another 2 weeks :D
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Unfortunately not, if you have an o2 handset (x.xx.206.x) then you're stuck with them...unless we get S-OFF at any point
[HTC One X] Kermagod:
You've brought this on yourself (Puts on fireproof jacket and turns on flame thrower).....

Joking aside....Please can we make sure this thread is about 1.29.401.11 and can we only post info that will help others.
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
Well it dosen't look likely that were gonna get this before the weekend.

Do HTC ever push updates at weekends ?
[HTC One X] craggybuk:
I remember them rolling froyo (android 2.2) out on a Sunday on the desire
[HTC One X] bigbamboo5:
I still think there's a good chance that the UK networks would have got the update at the start of May, when the rest of Europe got it, and would thus have had two weeks to work on it...
[HTC One X] McCol1:
I'm still waiting on any 1.29 update on unbranded/unlocked phone. Been checking daily and no update
[HTC One X] ste1164:
RUU is defiantly the way to go.
[HTC One X] isaw:
Hmm, I got mine about 3 days ago.

I did the *#*#*checkin#*#* a few times before and then during the day at work, presto, it flashed up sayiing i had an update.

When completed, I'm on :

software : 1.29.401.7

htc sdk : 4.12

kernal : 2.6.39.4-g69960c7

bband : 1.1204.104.14

My phone is simfreem, unlocked and non-rooted from Expansys.
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
I completely agree with this, it's starting to get ridiculous. The UK seems to recieve everything last, the story was the same with the GS2 ICS update, the unbranded UK devices were waiting absolutely months. People can suggest that the carriers are holding it back, but I highly doubt this. It's getting ridiculous.
[HTC One X] huwwatkins:
and if you read the topic you would realise that is not the version we are talking about - seriously its not hard.
[HTC One X] anoniemouse:
If the trend continues then i will just use the RUU files instead, no problems & no being held back.:D
[HTC One X] Whiskey103:

[HTC One X] surfer1000:
Well Monday now and still now sign of this update for us.

HTC still don't mention this update on their own site, they are still posting the .7 release dated 1/5/12
[HTC One X] Ivanovic:
Just got the update :)

My CID is HTC_001!
[HTC One X] WondAbrar:
Just arrived

Tried the checkin and checked for updates: lo-and behold, .11
[HTC One X] alen1234:
I can confirm that the update has arrived for UK unbranded units :)
[HTC One X] nteeb:
HTC__001

Update(1.29.401.11) has arrived.Finally...
[HTC One X] igorashu:
I have an unbranded handset bought from Expansys.

As I got the 401.7 update with the "UK"-esque 2 week delay, I was expecting the same delay for 401.11. But I just received the notification for update a couple of minutes ago, so yo'all should hurry:D
[HTC One X] nokian90:
i am downloading the update as i type this here in N I:)
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
I can also confirm this... I just *#*#CHECKIN#*#* and here's the update :)

wo0t!
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
Yeah me too!...thanks for the heads up guys!
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
Once update has been applied, is it worth re-calibrating the battery etc to see if it'll take faster?

Also, does it solve the issue of the mystery SD card space dissapearing?

I hope my flickering goes!
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
Wow i've just got back my missing SD Card memory, from 9.9GB now im showing 21.9!!!
[HTC One X] chezzuk:
just updated wahey the mystery space has come back,made up...

iam in the uk unbranded...
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
I know!!! :D

I couldn't even update Dark Meadow earlier!

Now I've got 10GB+ back!

I thought I filled up the phone fast! Now I've got loads of spare space!

I just hope it's correct!
[HTC One X] sr1ks:
Got the update unbranded HOX :) thanks for the heads up guys..
[HTC One X] nokian90:
After the update the memory card went from 17.6gb to 21.9. :):):)
[HTC One X] bigbamboo5:
I can't wait for Vodafone UK to release this. I did rather hope that they would have had something to test since the update was released across Europe and thus we would get an 'approved' OTA release in a day or two, but that might be hoping for too much. What's the betting we get .7 and then have to wait another month for .11? :confused:
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
Hmmm..I got some of my storage back but NOT all. If I check with chkdsk on the PC there is still 1GB in bad sectors. But I got 3GB back.....something still not quite right there I think.
[HTC One X] noisy_lightning:
All my SD card space back (had "lost" 10gb)
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
just got the updare noe 3 updates in a month good work by htc sorting out bugs quickly
[HTC One X] R3DH3AD:
Now I have nothing to wait for my life is empty :(. Where is the thread for 1.30 so I can check that every 10 minutes waiting for release.
[HTC One X] Spewy1:
I feel your pain - what do you do with a phone when not researching for the next one or looking for updates?
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
I'm convinced this has adjusted my colour balance a little. It was very warm and had a hint of green on dark Grey's before. It is still a warm displays but I think it's lost the slight green-ness.
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
HTC must have something about Monday's for them releasing updates ;)
[HTC One X] IdanK:
Updated and working on a non-rooted stock device.

Thanks for the update (double meaning :D)
