If you're completely stock , never rooted, never unlocked your phone or flashed anything better just wait for the OTA should be there within hours for you , and it's not worth losing your warranty because of this, on the other hand if you're REALLY in desperate need of flashing you'll have to unlock your phone first, anyway if you're up to losing the warranty lemme know i'll give you the steps how to do it manually.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
will not be that long..surely by the weekend my friend
[HTC One X] CamoGeko:
The steps are so simple I'd be able to do it drunk or with my eyes closed lmao
[HTC One X] Shan89:
first check is your bootloader really is 1.39 , you might have failed into flashing it. If you succeeded to flash it tell us are you on STOCK rom and recovery?
[HTC One X] Jackster88:
All .img files that have been flashed have been extracted from the firmware.zip file that was released with today's OTA update.

I flashed the original OTA files. I now tried to use CWM's recovery to install the OTA release (install zip from android after renaming it to update.zip on the SD card) and I just get a Status 7 error. I google'd Status 7 and all I got was people explaining that it means that the update.zip they tried to install was for a different device. Now as I explained earlier, I used the file that I got with the OTA update, so it should be for my device (H3G__106, which is also included in the android-info.txt located in the firmware.zip file )
[HTC One X] Goku80:
we all know how good you are dude...there are some folks though who would just prefer to wait instead of messing up there phones....i can wait no probs for me as i am rocking 4.2.1:p but as regarding flashing ruu's like i said....**** that
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Yeah , finally lol.

Like i said your drivers might be corrupted or something , install / reinstall lastest HTC sync manager and reboot your system , after that try *fastboot erase cahcae* make sure you get into fastboot by volume keys first on your phone.
[HTC One X] TremF:
No update here (3 UK) :crying:
[HTC One X] CamoGeko:
It's probably being released region by region nationally. ;)
[HTC One X] TremF:
That makes it sound like 3 UK have a clue and actually planned this? Going off most of the previous posts in this thread they are totally clueless and couldn't organise testing without cocking it up let alone an update rollout ;)
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Here follow these steps as i write them:

1. Reboot your phone in HBOOT

2. Relock your device - fastboot oem lock

3. Reboot your phone.

4. After the reboot get into your bootloader and - fastboot oem rebootRUU

5. Flash the firmware - fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (repeat this command twice since 1st time will fail )

6. Unlock your phone again - fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

7. Flash recovery of your choice - fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

8. DOWNLOAD rom of your CHOICE and flash it like you would normally do.

If by ANY chance you want to be completelly stock and update the phone official way go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975140 and download the back up of your cid which in this case is H3G then do this:

1. get into fastboot and type this : Fastboot erase cacahe > fastboot flash boot boot.img ( stock kernel ) , fastboot erase cache after that hit RECOVERY

2. wipe data / factory reset, wipe cache , > mount and storage > format system , format data , format cache > wipe dalvic cache , wipe battery stats ( now you full wiped your phone except the SD )

3. restore the nand back up using CWM 5.8.4.0 recovery , > restore & backup > restore ( make sure the folder with the back up is named like this *clockword* and inside of that folder > backup > and inside the back up of h3g rom

4. get back to bootloader and flash STOCK recovery - fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

5. boot into system and download the OTA updates = gz you're on JB after that.

6. = suggestion , just incase you would like to flash some ROMS mods etc by any chance i suggest you asap you update your phone to JELLY BEAN install CWM recovery and make a nandroid back up of your ORIGINAL stock rom just in case you ever need. Stock recovery is USLESS unless you need it for official updates. Hope this clear things up for you and help you out :)

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

Follow the first part of this post.
[HTC One X] Jackster88:
are you sure on the syntax there? isn't it fastboot flash zip firmware.zip?
[HTC One X] Shan89:
you might wanna download the new h3g stock rom , dunno which one do you use , could be austrian h3g rom, no1 reported austria got jb so far, only sweeden and UK by me, anyway , before that try this : settings > apps > all apps > google services framework > clear data > clear defaults > reboot your phone ( full reboot not shell ) and try then , if that fails you could do the 1st thing i wrote :p
[HTC One X] CamoGeko:
How else would you explain some people having it and others not?

Sounds like them cocking the distribution up as well as testing lmao
[HTC One X] SUPERUSER:
That is correct!

It is:

Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
[HTC One X] TremF:
I don't know where you got Austria from - I am in the UK ;)

I have already tried the google services framework thing with no luck. I'll hold out for the OTA although somehow 3 will probably manage to update me last just to be awkward hehe

Thanks for your advice though :)
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Lol i doubt , i'm not even in UK , actually far far far away from UK =p
[HTC One X] Jackster88:
Well, anyways. I tried redoing the whole process and my phone still gets stuck at the white "HTC one" screen. Looks like I need to run a custom ROM for now.
[HTC One X] stu_tls:
so has anyone got the OTA on 3 uk yet?

I've had a read through but all I can see now is talk of rooting and flashing and thats not for me!!
[HTC One X] Shan89:
my bad lol, fast typing :p
[HTC One X] TremF:
I wouldn't mind betting that they are playing a game like pin the tail on the donkey but just a pin and a map - "Right the next place to get the update is..." heheh
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Lol np =)

Re: H3G BRANDED ONLY | JB update – [24/1]

Nope no updates yet
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Yeah that's correct you need a custom rom or stock JB rom, you're phone is trying to boot up ics rom while having bootloader and kernel JB , wont work really :p . tho if you want to be on ics just flash stock kernel from ics =p ... but something tells me you want JB lol =p

Anyway time to flash around 10GB of roms =D
[HTC One X] Shiftone:
Ok so I've done something very similar to the above posters (read - stupid)

My phone is stock locked and I have never unlocked it at htcdev (and I do not want to)

I've flashed the 1.39 hboot from this thread (firmware.zip) and confirmed it has succeeded

Of course because I am bootloader locked I can't get the ota JB to install....

and right now I get stuck at the HTC One splash screen.

RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_H3G_UK_1.29.771.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14H_release_260888_signed.exe --- will not restore my phone as the hboot version is now to high on my handset....

so 2 questions and I only need an answer to either one.

1. Is there a 1.29 hboot file somewhere I can flash in fastboot and get back to ICS stock???

or

2. Is there a way of getting the JB OTA to install without unlocking my bootloader?

thanks

Thanks to all who kindly uploaded Firmware and OTA

this the error i keep getting pulling my hair out any ideas C:\Android>fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin

[HTC One X] Drefsab:
are you sure that the unlock_code.bin you are using is the correct one for your phone or has not become corrupted somehow?
[HTC One X] Jackster88:
did you try typing it as "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" ? because the htc pages gives the file out with a captial U (atleast it did for me) and as far as I can tell fastboot is pretty anal about capitalization
[HTC One X] iMack007:
This is simply ridiculous

H

Shan, you went through what seems like some effort to help & I really appreciate that. Unfortunately for me, it is somewhat complex & whilst it is achievable, I rely solely on my 3G connection for Internet access. Meaning, if anything goes wrong I won't even be able to seek online help from you guys. Also the link you provided for those that want to be completely stock, has no CID (nandroid backup) for 3 UK Other than for the 2.17 base

So, I think I'll give it a miss & just wait for the damn update from 3 UK.

On another note, just got off the phone to tech & customer service & I gave them the filename of the JB update from 3 Sweden & ranted as to what we are always last to receive any update & that there are literally hundreds if not thousands of dissatisfied customers as a direct result, especially as their sister company's have pushed the same update that they probably will too.

45 minutes later & I'm relatively satisfied that this will be looked into, especially as there is **** all 3UK have to do! Just copy the damn files from here and push the damn files to us!! ARRGH!! LOL Why did I let this all get to me again & get pulled into all this crap!

The last guy I spoke to seemed genuinely interested in helping & took this threads URL & firmware version details & will pass it on whilst trying to get things resolved. He seemed honest & said he alone cannot get anything done, but will liaise with their various teams & departments to find wnhy they haven't got it together when all other 3 based companies have.

So here's hoping. But I'm done with this crap. ffs, I have a life outside of my techie interests & realistically can't devote the time to being a guinea pig just because my carrier are dragging their feet.

All props to the devs & helpful members on here. Without you guys, I swear, I'd have thrown the ****ing piece of **** phone against the wall & ****ed 3UK out of it.... Owing them money or not. Rant over.

Now to go enjoy life, away from all this damn hypocrisy. I thought Apple were the hogs in locking down people with their closed economic system, but reality is all corporate giants are at it & you either accept it, or do the work involved here. I'm not happy about doing either anymore. Xcuse any typos guys & gals. Hope everyone gets it soon. I Can't believe the Samsung Galaxy S2 (a year+ older than the Hox) even gets the update before we do.

Re: H3G BRANDED ONLY | JB update – [24/1]

Its the same one I have always used was going to try to get other files from HTC dev to see if its the file going out for a meal for wife birthday will try to fix later
[HTC One X] Drefsab:
n/p that was going to be my next suggestion :) I had my unlock code in an email that htcdev sent to me when I unlocked so its possible you may still have that email saved. Anyway go enjoy a nice meal :D

I flashed the firmware to upgrade mt hboot, complete. I'm still stock rom+recovery, relocked.

So from here, how do I apply the OTA? Am I right in thinking I can't unlock bootloader, and do the usual CWM...
[HTC One X] guiltyundertaker:
Hey guys,

I've got as far as the Unlock.bin command and everything fine till now, now I'm stuck with HTC in white and a green bar below and nothing going on. Any ideas what to do?

Re: H3G BRANDED ONLY | JB update – [24/1]

Listen guys iv seen a few people have flashed the hboot update but are wanting to stay stock! I don't know my self if flashing the ota zip will work (Didn't try it)

I will suggest that you go to a custom rom until there is an ruu available! As for stock its never been an option for me, this is XDA after all.

S-off will come as will soon in my opinion as they are getting places so don't worry about unlocked bootloaders as said before this is XDA!

EDIT: op updated I will update the op again if someone knows how to stay stock

[HTC One X] Shiftone:
well I'm stuck

Hboot updated to 1.39

can't flash the JB OTA as I'm locked and have never been unlocked

can't get an unlock code coz htcdev is slow as all hell today

so for the moment - bricked is me

Re: H3G BRANDED ONLY | JB update – [24/1]

The only thing I can say to that is I know how ****! That site is and it's always crashing. I had the same problem unlocking my hov the other day.

The best thing I found was trying a different browser. I was using chrome but used firebox instead. I know it's my opinion custom is best but not everyone likes that. If you have a three branded device tho and it is on a custom rom iv never had a problem with warrenty if that's what people are worried about.

Also if there is a problem with htcdev there us a thread explaining a way to unlock while the site is playing up in the gernal section.

[HTC One X] Shiftone:
i take it there is no way to either roll back to my old 1.29 hboot - or force the JB update without unlocking my bootloader then?
[HTC One X] galaxys2Tav:
Re: H3G BRANDED ONLY | JB update – [24/1]

I don't know because iv never wanted stock before dude sorry. Also there is no way at all to downgrade without s-off but when that comes the best thing will be supercid and unbranded rom anyway.

If your having a problem with htcdev, the best thing to do is be patient with it and try a different browser.

No, at least not until we have S-OFF.

Trying to update here but .....

STEP 1

fastboot oem lock - - - - -- fine

THEN STEP 2

you go to RUU

fastboot oem rebootRUU -- --- -- -- - seemed to go ok although I had to hard reset phone on a htc splash screen

STEP 3 flash

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip ----- ---- --- failed 1st time, 2nd time also failed (command write failed (invalid argument))

Any ideas?

FYI: handset is rooted and has CWM, I ran a ROM for a while but reverted back to my Nandroid that I took immediately after rooting.

hy dudes

I have a question

I'm from austria, my HOX is unlocked and rooted and I'm on an costom ROM

so the problem is i've lost my stock backup

can I flash the UK OTA file or firmware zip and than flash a costom again or what do I have to do to be able to update my hboot

I think I will just need the hboot because i will go to an costom rom anyway?

thanks for any help and sorry for my bad english

Re: H3G BRANDED ONLY | JB update – [24/1]

You just need the firmware zip.

Spun out from a JELLIED and RENOVATED One X.
[HTC One X] Jackster88:
When I try to flash the firmware.zip like this thread describes I get a bootloop that's stuck on the white "HTC one" screen.

How do I get past this?

edit: Phone finally working again with Android Revolution 9.8.
[HTC One X] Liamalone:
Tried Stock Recovery as suggested but still getting the same problem :(

Step 2 ........ what files are needed for that? After running the fastboot command 'oem rebootRUU' it reboots then hangs on a black HTC splash screen, needs a hard reset

How do I tell if Stock Recovery is installed properly??

Any help appreciated, thanks
[HTC One X] CamoGeko:
Re: H3G BRANDED ONLY | JB update – [24/1]

You need to flash a rom after you flash that firmware zip.

Spun out from a JELLIED and RENOVATED One X.
[HTC One X] Shan89:
You'll be *stuck* as long as you don't get the Jelly bean RUU , your hboot is already on JB firmware which means theres no way without S-OFF to flash older RUU , the only way you can get out right now is either wait for official RUU (which i doubt will be released any time soon) or void warranty and flash custom rom. Too bad you didn't ask anyone in here about this before doing it.

Theres something wrong with your unlock token is around 1 kb and for you says *0* , i guess the only thing you can do now is try getting new token and try multiple browsers like others have said or if you saved your email just re-download the token and try again.

Lol np, glad i could help =)

The only way i know how to manually apply ota should be this ;

1. Unlocked bootloader

2. Stock rom

3. Stock recovery

4. CWM and before atempting to apply ota rename OTA name into *update*

5. Get into CWM and *apply update zip* something like that should be name

Idk would this work but thats the only way i could think of atm lol. Maybe if you can ley your hands on small update apk we recieved before the big update that could probably force an update. Other then that the thing i would do if i'm in a hurry is simply download nandroid back up of h3g and try then , the nandroid backup should do the work done since it's from H3G UK.

I guess the only answer is the one i gave above for you.

Also the 1st answer lol.

Here download this https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6QpwCy57mRTM3QxekR2ZXpTYWM/edit?pli=1 , that is h3g UK stock backup ( 2.17 ) , after restoring it back , flash stock boot img , and stock recovery , the recovery in this nand backup should be CWM so find recovery somewhere else, stock recovery is around 5-6 MB , if the one in this backup is 8 then it's CWM. Good luck =)
[HTC One X] Jackster88:
How come that the OTA-downloaded Jellybean update won't work on my device though? (I get error status 7, which is supposed to signal a wrong device, although the android-info.txt has the same info as my phone has, according to cvars)

Shouldn't it work after I flash the firmware.zip?

(I'm sorry for these ****ty questions)
[HTC One X] Shan89:
Lol did you update the bootloader onto 1.39 and then restored ICS rom ? If so why not simply flash JB rom since your bootloader already is JB >.>

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

Lol you can't update your phone since your/if bootloader is already on 1.39 , you're literally trying to overpatch the bootloader, the only way for you now is to either flash stock or custom rom. The only way to do that is to flash newer bootloader.
[HTC One X] Jackster88:
Well I got Hboot 1.39 with today's update, which installed fine. When I tried to install the Jellybean update itself though it didn't work, as in: only one part of the installation (Hboot) worked for some reason. I ran unlocked stock before.
[HTC One X] SUPERUSER:
..okay here's the thing, your phone is not "hanged" or crashed on the black htc screen. That's the way it should look like.

When the screen looks like this, then you are ready to write the fastboot commandos in the terminal..

pffft - managed to get my unlock key submitted - now just waiting for the email..... and waiting.... and waiting....

Re: H3G BRANDED ONLY | JB update – [24/1]

I know the update is finally here, and I really want to use jellybean but I think I may wait to do this once viperx 3.5 is released this weekend. Really can't be bothered until then.

So how is everyone's experience so far? :)
[HTC One X] SUPERUSER:
Splendid! I had bluetooth problem before, sound was hacking and SU often said "sound card has been restarted due an error" and the music stopped. All those issues are gone with the new radio I think :D

And the performance is blo%&y ..can't even put a name on it! It's like a whole new phone! :laugh: batterylife is even better than before and I had quite decent numbers even then, charging is a bit slower than before but that's my only issue.

btw running bugX latest rom, haven't tried the JB viper X yet but I liked that rom before on ICS so I hope it is as good or better than before.
[HTC One X] alooratom:
Hi i have recently reverted back to stock to wait for JB update on my HOX and i was just wondering before i follow the tutorial that has been posted on the OP i was wondering if i need to be rooted for the tutorial to work smoothly, if i do then do i need to just follow a tutorial on rooting, flashing clockwork mod recovery then make a nandroid backup and go ahead with the tutorial in the OP, sorry if i sound stupid but just want to double check with someone with more experience than me, a working phone is better than a bricked one.
[HTC One X] Jackster88:
It seems like the problem with manually flashing JB that causes the Status 7 error some people get has something to do with a missing file, namely the build.prop file that is absent in the /system folder (there's a build.prop.p file in patch/system but I'm not sure if one could just salvage that one).

Any idea how to get that build.prop file for the /system folder?
[HTC One X] Brac20:
I knew I shouldn't have done that.

Right, I followed the instructions. relocked, flashed firmware zip, it says I am on HBOOT 1.39.

I then relocked.

Flashed the recovery.img that is in the firmware.zip (is this one ok?)

I then flashed the boot.img from the OTA (found it in the firmware part of the OTA zip.

Erased cache.

It's now hanging on the HTC ONE boot screen.

Can anyone help out?
[HTC One X] SUPERUSER:
Why did you flash the boot.img from the OTA? You only applied the firmware.

*Try flashing the boot.img from the rom you where using

*or restore from an nandroid and flash the boot.img that belongs to the nandroid...

*or push a new rom to the sd card and install that.
[HTC One X] Brac20:
Because I am new to this and assumed the boot.img in the OTA would be the correct one for the hboot.

Rookie error I guess.

I'm going to try sticking ARHD on it and see if I fair better there.
[HTC One X] Jackster88:
Look at the Jelly Bean update, it's about 350 MB or so big. The files you installed were just the patched Hboot, boot and recovery. There's still over 300 MB of stuff you didn't install yet, that's why it won't boot. It's like trying to start your old car with the key of a new car (let's pretend new cars still use keys).

Your options now are to restore the old boot (not sure if the old version will run with patched Hboot and recovery though) or install Clockwork Mod 5.8.4.0 along with a new ROM or wait for somebody to figure out a way to build a custom build.prop to install the OTA patch successfully.
[HTC One X] Brac20:
Well I just flashed my first custom ROM haha. It's always easier to learn when you have no choice.

Stuck ARHD 18.1 on and it's just booted up :)
