They said it was hard, it was impossible, here I got the answer.

And is not 42.

Backtrack to GB 2.3.6 from ICS 4.0.4 china

I installed ICS 4.0.4 to my latam device from GB 2.3.6 stock with this guide:

http://www.htcmania.com/showpost.php?p=4502111&postcount=7

This is the System Version I was running:

67.2.120.XT910.ChinaRetail.en.CN

This is tha version I actually running:

651.167.3361.XT910.AmericaMovil.en.MX

You must have 100% battery.

With the razr rooted and your backed up file (mmcblk1p18-back) on sd, enter to conectbot, select "local" then hit enter on the field and type:

cat /mnt/sdcard-ext/mmcblk1p18-back> /dev/block/mmcblk1p18

Then the phone will fail on every way to boot (don't be scary) Normal Mode, BP Tools etc, only APFastboot will work.

Enter to APFastboot (fastboot mode) and fastboot the 2.3.6 gingerbread, it worked for me.

Tried on:

651.167.3361.XT910.AmericaMovil.en.MX

&

651.167.3370.XT910Brasil.en.BR

But FAILED on 2.3.5

My device is a latam XT910 (TELCEL)

I tried to fastboot 2.3.6 without flashing the file "mmcblk1p18-back" from ICS china and installed ok, but when boot on GB it reboots a lot and can't root or install stuff, and thats because I got brave and tried without a guide, and I wanted to share with you :cool:

Also when tried to flash 2.3.5 on RSD did not worked, get stuck on step 1.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] :
I tried this and did not worked

I tried this and did not worked:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25793043&postcount=256

The phone was rebooting every time and did not have time to root or install stuff, then fastboot ics again and did the process on upper side
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Did you started throught bp tools after flashing gb? You should
[Motorola Droid RAZR] :
Yes I did, I boot in to BP Tools and it started, but continuously reboots and it's impossible to root because there is no time to do it.

So I did like I said and worked.

Has anyone tried to use this method to downgrade the LATAM Razr from the T-mo (not Chinese) 4.0.4 to GB?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] peter0206:
working great... thank you so much
[Motorola Droid RAZR] titusxperia10:
Man, how are yo doing just send you a PM about how this thing run fine, succesfully revert back to gb after ics china 4.0.4 but think something went wrong, I still see the message Boot Fail CostumerID Contact Dealer everytime I boot up. :confused: So any advice will be appreciated!

Gracias!

Oh! And can you point me in how to do that? It will be very appreciated! Thanks!

EDIT: Irrespective I´ve got my own cid (mmcblk1p18 block) which I backed up, and restored it via terminal with su cmd and also trying with Root Explorer copy paste with proper permissions and everything, when I rebbot the same thing, that damn message....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
If you did not a cid 18 backup before erasing it with the chinese one you cant anymore.

If so you've joined a club of guys stuck on bp tools trick. To fix that you gonna need to send it to motorola services.

Since you are already in ics you'll loose root when flash the gb in order to install the ota. This is pretty much the same for tmobile. But you have a previous .sbf for tmobile and a root/update method too

You have to flash (mmcblk1p18-back) file before flash GB.

With 100% battery according to this post. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] thepsen:
for my understanding can i follow this step ?. if i missunderstand please correct me.

my phone status : run on ICS 67.145.3.XT910.ChainaRetail.en.CN / I have root keeper and Nandroid backup, also got mmcblk1p18-back from 2.3.6 Asia

1.Run Connectboot with this command "cat /mnt/sdcard-ext/mmcblk1p18-back> /dev/block/mmcblk1p18"

2.Reboot phone to fastboot AP

3.Flash "SPDREM_U_01.6.5.1-167_SPU-15-M2-3_SIGNEuropeAustraliaEMEA_USASPDRRTGB_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml.zip"

4-wipe data/factory reset

5- root

6-install from market voodoo OTA rootkeeper

7-use it to backup the root

8-Copy the Blur_Version.651.167.26.XT910.Retail.en.EU.zip to SD card

9-Boot in Recovery Mode (STOCK Motorola Recovery)

10-UPDATE OTA Blur_Version.651.167.26.XT910.Retail.en.EU.zip

11- use voodoo OTA rootkeeper again to restore root

if this step right i can start to do it. thanks you in advance.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] farhanito:
I believe you'll stuck at step 3, due to secure kernel on 145
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Dont do this step 1 without backing up your own cid partitiom or you'll be stuck in bp tools permanently.

Watch the steps to make your p18 backup before flash.

Wish every users used to ask before doing some procedures like u did,, it would avoid a lot of problems.

Not anymore. You should have made the cid bkp before replacing it with the erased chinese. Now you're permanently stuck in this bp tools. There's no way to restore your own and I doub't will be one.

Will this now be our next major update for the HOX ?

Reading the changlog on version .4 improves/updates more than 100 issues over .3

And looks to be a major improvment!

Although sense might be as good/better already in some areas.

One thing we know for certain......mainland Europe will get it first! :eek:

I have heard a comment of "we haven't even got version 3 of the kernel yet"......what is the significance of this ?
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
I had it on my Galaxy Nexus before I sold it and didn't notice anything different over 4.0.3 personally. It was more a bug fix release than anything else

Still, it would be nice to get it as it's out! Having said that, HTC skipped over 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 so they may skip over this too
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
Interesting, you could be right, I see the nexus was due to get .5 in April did that happen ?

Does it stop at .5 then move to Android 5 ?
[HTC One X] Nubzori:
I bet we just skip straight to Jelly bean and Sense 4.5
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
Sense 4.5 I can see happening but not Jelly Bean, no doubt we will have the "Two X" phone by then!
[HTC One X] Nubzori:
Jelly comes in september
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
There is no official release date for it yet, in fact "The Wall Street Journal quotes a source that says Jelly Bean will be released by Thanksgiving (November 22, 2012)."

So if released in November it would take HTC a few months to test it before they release it, hence the "Two X" March/April 2013
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
4.0.5 isn't on the Nexus btw
[HTC One X] surfer1000:
That's been delayed then, there is a good review here http://www.androidauthority.com/android-4-0-3-vs-4-0-4-vs-4-0-5-75651
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
The 4.0.5 update would appear to be for the Verizon Nexus only, and not the GSM handset, so it may not reach other GSM handsets either
[HTC One X] TommUK:
Pretty sure we'll get jelly bean, if HTC stick by their track record then they'll debut it on a new phone no doubt.

but it would be nice if they don't and we get it straight away.

[HTC One X] Bigmille:
I belive the version 3 kernel refer to kernel for the Tegra chip made by Nvidia, Currently the latest version is 2.6, think this is made for Gingerbread.

One good thing about Samsung phones running Exnose is the chip is designed in-house, so there is not depending on 3rd parties to supplies the kernel.
[HTC One X] Rageypeep:
There wasent any new features added to a varsion 3 kernal, just minor bug fixes, the reason for the version change was to tidy up the version number, I think the web site for it was www.kernel.org. else google it :)
[HTC One X] Bigmille:
I hope Nvidia can reduce the power usage for Tegra 3. I did a test of leaving the phone idle at 50% brightness, the battery died after 7hrs and 43 mins. However, I can not get more the 3 hrs screen on time in normal (none gaming) daily use.
[HTC One X] kemmo123:
there are several versions of 4.0.4 out already. check modaco forums.

1. try hard reset ,, hold volume-up + Center botton + power on for 5secs until recovery display on the screen...if the recovery display , scroll down then select wipe factory reset,,,all will be lost...then reboot....

2. if not ok in no.1 procedure ,,proceed to flashing..

use multi-loader freesoft..

then download the specefic firmware then flash... just use google for other procedure...
[HTC One X] Dtguilds:
Hi all.

I'm delighted with my One X but my friends all keep telling me that the Galaxy S 3 'blows it out of the water'. I obviously don't agree with them and I'm not particularly pleased that Samsung have created their own band of little fanboys like Apple have. :mad:

What is your position on this?

The way I see it, the One X:

Looks and feels massively superior, like a premium, well designed product

Has a better screen, the S3 screen is no different to the Nexus and most people would agree the One X runs rings around it in all areas except for black levels

Has a pretty equal camera, that's better in low light

The only main downside to the X is that the video recording is a bit stuttering, but aside from that it's pretty good. :)

Am I overlooking anything, I don't care about expandable storage. Why are people getting so 'heated' and upset over these things, it's almost as if you aren't allowed to prefer the One X. :(
[HTC One X] eadred:
For me main advantage of galaxy is its by far superior battery life.
[HTC One X] TommUK:
This thread will probably get closed.

but just thell them;

A)They don't know what they're talking about.

B)It's not innovative, Pop up play, SVoice, all copied.

C)Ugly design

D)Ugly pentile matrix

E) less feature packed camera with Supposedly a worse camera from test shots (Will be seen)

F) It has touchwiz (Enough to turn me away)

And I'd your clutching at straws then G) It gas Nvidias tightly knitted support with game developers meaning optimised HD games for The One X, not for the S3 ;)

They're my reasons anyhow, I would have sold my One X if the S3 proved to me it was Better, but it didn't so saved me the hassle :)
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
by all means the difference is unfounded, though its true SGSIII is some what slightly better,

there are 3 differences worth mentioning, beside looks feels and fanboy preference,(HOX vs SGSIII)

1)Rom, im only mentioning this because whatever is found in one can and will be ported to the other

2)Battery 1800Ah vs 2100mAh

3)Nvidia vs Exynos

about the GPU im not sure how thing work with these,

but something tell me that Nvidia's game will be Nvidia GPU exclusive,

whether they can be patched it beyond me,

while i dont see Exynos Exclusive Games, correct me if im wrong.

so i hope this blows your friends comment about 'blows it out of the water' :p

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

about better life i dont personally know how it compares

specially with T3 & its 4+1 core arrangement
[HTC One X] scuzzbag87:
Yes Samsung is better. I mean come on being # 1 and getting 9 million preorders on the s3 pretty much says it all. Plus exynos > tegra 3
[HTC One X] Arcadia310:
By your logic the iPhone must be the best phone on the planet because it sells the most. :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] Rekoil:
Yeah mate, you should always give in to peer pressure. Whatever you do, don't stand by your own assessments. Seriously, what are you waiting for? Run!
[HTC One X] samuelong87:
I really hate touchwiz. Its just not as beautiful and functional. Sense always has very small nitty gritty details covered and I really see the effort in making the user experience awesome, save the bloat as compared to stock or other manufacturer skins. It all depends on what the user is looking for in the end anyway
[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
As everyone knows S3 has better specs, but do they really matter to you? S3 may get higher benchmark scores, but in reality user experience will be pretty similar, perhaps with the exception of gaming. Unless you play lot of games you are not going to notice any difference. Both phones are going to be limited by the amount of RAM far before they are going to be bottle necked by processing power, so you are not really gaining much.

The only downside of One X (for me at least) is battery life and lack of a removable battery. I personally believe OneX's battery life will get better with new firmware releases and tweaks, but even with all the tweaks it may still fall behind S3. Again, how important is it ? For me a phone that can last 1 day or 1.5 days makes no difference because I only charge my phone at night. If it can last a day that is more than enough for me. But a day's use depends on the user and if One X cant last a day, then it could be a real deal breaker. For me this is the only rational reason for anyone already having a One X to upgrade to a S3.

Finally what about cost of upgrading? Right now there is a considerable value difference between the two (depending on your region it could be as high as $250). For me S3 is not worth that much more. Since you already have a One X the upgrade will cost you even more. Given everything IMO you are better off holding on to your One X (and money) for at least a year or so till something worthy comes along (i.e: 2GB, better cam/12MP??, better processor, better screen, Android 5)

I’m still contemplating on my next smartphone, but so far the price difference and S3's hideous design has pushed me towards One X. I don’t want to spend close to $800 on a phone that’s going to be outdated in a year or a year and a half at most.

Quick Q&A

Where do I download Sense widgets?

This ROM has the Sense launcher removed and, thus, cannot use ANY of the Sense widgets. However, the same would be true if you used Apex Launcher on a Sense ROM (you wouldn't be able to use Sense widgets). Basically, no Sense launcher = no Sense widgets. Hit up the Play Store for great alternatives ;)

I'm using the HTC lock screen, where are the app bubbles on the bottom?

Unfortunately, those items are tied to Rosie.apk (the Sense launcher) and will not work with SOS M. Be sure to try MiLocker, WidgetLocker, and GO Locker from the Play Store.

How should I flash if I have HBOOT 1.50 with S-ON?

The first thing you should do is get S-OFF hehe... But seriously, try 4EXT Recovery. If that doesn't work, flash via fastboot.

I flashed a theme and now I have the Sense launcher back... WHAT DO I DO?

You can re-flash the ROM to remove the launcher immediately. Post a link to the theme and I will de-senseify it for this ROM ;)

I want to use SOS M on Boot Manager, but I don't think I can with Aroma... Can I?

Actually you can, head over here. I explained how to do it for my EVO 4G ROM - it's the same process.
