Never had a desire - was there an s-on/super cid issue that preventedsome users flashing ROMs for that huh? I've never heard of users being as restricted as this generation of tegra 3 handsets - I thought all previous HTC devices got s-off'd about 5 minutes after release? Including the Desire with Alpha Rev etc...or you making some other point? What you saying?

Nobopdy here is still using ICS cos they too chicken to flash firmware - its because they can't.

I've certainly never had a handset before where I was held up like this. Once unbranded was out we all had it.
[HTC One X] backfromthestorm:
This. It really isn't the first time people have cared about an update. Desire had s-off, folks were still climbing the walls for gingerbread. 3s yes it'll be here, no it won't, yes it will, only drove people round the bend. It's not the first time anyone's cared, and it won't be the last.

Edit - click my link and tell HTC you want s_off if you havnt already. Gotta make ourselves heard, we got unlocked bootloaders, half way there
[HTC One X] DJW6927:
Sorry dude I didn't understand what you were saying..Still not sure TBH but no problem - we both on the same page about s-off. Its not only h3g thats the joke in this debacle.

And I haven't signed the petition homestly. Not because I don't wish to help but because my sentiment is different.

I simply will not buy another device like this. Until such time as HTC perceive there to be a commercial advantage to s-off they'll have nothing to do with it. Lost sales revenue must threaten to out weight any additional warranty risk they perceive.
[HTC One X] meleelord:
This goes with what they said on there blog
[HTC One X] :
At least some hope

So hopefully we're looking at a timescale of 1 week for them to test it out and IF its good release it!
[HTC One X] galaxys2Tav:
At least it's better news that ros was giving us before. I think now they maybe getting fed up with us asking but to be the last carrier to receive it in the UK is a joke
[HTC One X] Goku80:
well i want to freaking have this update so i can freaking get my hboot updated so i can flash Viper Rom and then try Zero's new rom and the Renovate....my flashy addiction is coming back again i can smell it:silly::D
[HTC One X] galaxys2Tav:
Hahaha did you not think about taking a breath in that sentence lmao. Dude I'm itching for renovate now, but hopefully we may get this build in the next couple of days if they pull the fingers out l.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
well hopefully it will be with us by monday...as much as i love aokp rom and it is freaking amazing specially with the 4.2.1 new drop down settings, i do prefer sense roms and for me camera and sound on a sense rom is better...so here is hoping for an update
[HTC One X] joe4777:
im checking my phone constantly all day still nothing come on three get your heads out of your back-sides your lagging behind the competition...not good three not good enough
[HTC One X] Goku80:
as long they are getting £££ they do not really care about updates my dear friend....but here is hoping
[HTC One X] backfromthestorm:
If enough people sign the petition (there's a couple of questions to answer on it, would you buy again, etc) HTC might see there is an advantage.
[HTC One X] galaxys2Tav:
I don't know about that. Look what there like with s-off. 2 partitions and still no s-off :/ I think the only way we can get through to htc is simply not buy there products
[HTC One X] Naforcee:
Some information that I've managed to gather from 3 Sweden; First of all, 3 Sweden cleared the first update, but 3UK didn't and they use the same which is why we had to wait for a new release. Now both 3UK and 3 Sweden have the new release and will test it, according to 3 Sweden testing takes about a week. When both 3UK and 3 Sweden have cleared it, HTC will start delivering the update, and I honestly have no idea how fast they are with that part.
[HTC One X] backfromthestorm:
But we got bootloader unlocking, took time but hey, without that we wouldn't have anything for the one x, no root, nothing.

Maybe I'm just in a glass half full mood today.

Anyway enough OT from me. I'm on 3 and already on JB being on an unlocked phone, just want to try 3s Rom to see if there's any difference, optimisation for network etc.
[HTC One X] arknailed7754:
S off is for convenience. Still would be nice mind

And tav don't lie man you'd get another HTC LOL as would I. With respect to Samsung users the s3 is girly looking. Only one which hasn't been was the nexus..

I like the Xperia z that looks nice. Shame about the overlay sony provide but root it and get rid

The rest of the Samsung range look like the galaxy s babies if you know what I mean
[HTC One X] Dmaxon:
I had an Xperia X10 before I got my HTC One X

And I have to say, I've never been treated worse by a company as I did back then.

Sony, NEVER AGAIN...
[HTC One X] bev309:
I had an X10 before rhe HOX too - flashed that to death lol - I'm not even sure I can remember how to flash my HOX anymore I;ve been waiting so long for this update!!!

So they've received the new firmware, fingers crossed they don't break it again eh?:eek:
[HTC One X] MacSeoin:
I still think the original date I heard is the most likely for release, which is the 22nd of January!

Sent from my H3G One X using JellyBAM! with NCX kernel on hboot 0.43, really!
[HTC One X] Shan89:
I'm with you on this one, had arc and live with walkman before one x and they both got ditched from sony about updates , while xperia J which has worse hardware is going to get jelly bean. So NEVER again sony, maybe it's time to start using samsung which i hate tbh.
[HTC One X] Yadash:
Well HTC ditched the desire after the update to android 2.2. So I'm not surprised if they were to do it again
[HTC One X] Kutusov:
Is there a thread around here regarding this? I've heard more people saying that here and there and I really want to know.... as much as I would hate to do it, that would mean me trading in the HOX for an S3. With Samsung we had updates to very end of hardware life of the Galaxy S 1, they even went to the trouble of making a weird final pack (Sprinkled Gingerbread or something - 2.3.6) that was essentially a Gingerbread with looks and some features of ICS...
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Well look at the S2 at least that is still getting updates.
[HTC One X] Kutusov:
What about HTC? I know that the HD2 got ICS (was it?) but do they show a propensity for dropping devices, as it is, what was supposed to their flagship phone until they came out with HOX+ to many people (including me) surprise?

I guess I'm asking because of a core concept for me when buying such things... I'm not an advanced user, I don't require the most powerful device because I make it go through the toughest processes at the time I buy it. I'm willing to spend more money on a flagship phone because I know it will last me longer and, if something new comes along, it might very well handle it and I can keep on using it.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
This is my first HTC so i do not know how they are regarding updates...To be honest regarding updates i have XDA here to keep my phone up to date specially with AOKP roms...Now as to if i will get another phone i will have to buy one outright instead of a getting another contract....That is what will decide for me if it is worth spending the money or just staying with the One X till my contract expires or upgrade
[HTC One X] Yadash:
There isn't really a thread as such but there's a general frowning down on HTC from previous Desire Users (including myself). They dropped the 2.3 update after promising it to people who asked for it. The main reason for this was the poor internal memory that the Desire had which meant that it couldn't actually install 2.3 on the phone's memory which I think was 512mb. There was a lot of to and froing and then HTC did decide to release an update but it was only for experienced users and that HTC took no liability for any thing that could go wrong. They did continue to update the desire HD and the Desire S to 2.3 gingerbread though.

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

Same problem with the X10 mini and the mini pro. They just abandoned it after a patch for 2.1 so the phone was only on 2.1 for the 2 year long contract.

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

There's always new roms and innovative features being added to these roms by the devs who release roms and kernals here which kept me from needing to buy a new phone until the end of my contract.
[HTC One X] backfromthestorm:
More than convenience, it can be the difference between a dead phone and a live one.
[HTC One X] Kutusov:
Well, I still say that S-On is the main issue. If there wasn't such a thing, it wouldn't matter if you had a branded phone or not, you would be able to get super-cid or flash some other rom. As it is, we are stuck.

I know it's off topic and all but I've been going through HTC update experiences and such and starting to get scared... I love that display and what Sense does to the whole experience of using it but I'm starting to consider a possible trade for an S3... now I would insert a smily banging the wall but it seems we don't have that :crying:
[HTC One X] DJW6927:
Well.. what with HTCs enthusiast unfriendly stance on security, s-on, p!$$ poor carriers and now an apparent sudden lack of leaked rom material I just ain't seeing an exciting future.

We gotta go further than petitions - I genuinely think it's our duty not to buy into this again. For as long as we b1tch and moan but still buy their stuff we're saying at the end of day it's ok.

Now then...Anyone got a spare baked bean tin for the other half of my next handset?
[HTC One X] CamoGeko:
I miss my S2 in a way, that was such a versatile device. Too bad about the ****ty audio chip and screen that susceptible to burn in. Still I didint care about that one bit when I had it.

That phone ran everything I threw at it near perfection.

Spun out from a JELLIED and RENOVATED One X.
[HTC One X] Kutusov:
:D Ah, I'm not the only one having second thoughts... Who ever got a Galaxy misses it ;) Even the first one was great, when the S2 came out I didn't saw the point of upgrading because the i9000 was still holding its ground.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
I love my one x but my S2 was the best phone I ever had. Me and Geko even did a theme for that phone.
[HTC One X] MacSeoin:
I love my One X too but I have to admit I miss my HTC Hero (the phone that introduced me to the world of custom ROMs, had to sell it as I needed cash!) and my HTC Desire HD (BlackICE ROM then it got robbed :mad: )

Sent from my H3G One X using JellyBAM! with NCX kernel on hboot 0.43, really!

back to stock

heya fellas,

waiting for JB OTA made me go back to stock. I know maybe i shouldnt post this in here, but i'll try my luck.

I used the FAQ for going back to stock but after 6 hours of struggling i am still on Custom ROM.

fastboot oem lock

done

executing the RUU file (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_H3G_UK_1.28.771.9_Radio_1.1204.103.14H_release_256494_signed)

my Hboot is 1.12

it starts doing it job and after some time i get

ERROR (155) update img problem. get a correct ROM

i thought maybe i should flash the original recovery. downloaded the 1.28 version but couldnt even flash it since i get cannot load "recovery.img" ERROR. Kinda stuck atm. If u have some ideas, or know where i can get help from.

Would appreciate any help.:angel: Thx in advance.
[HTC One X] Maximus78:
Hi, use this method of going back to stock. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975140

This is what I used to get my brothers TMOB_005 back to stock. I haven't needed it for my 3 branded set yet because I just got mine back from repair and it is Locked and stock. :D
[HTC One X] un4given69:
so all i need to do ist just download the backup and put it to SD card and after flash it over CWM recovery? what about oem lock?:D
[HTC One X] BeatsByMessi:
Ahhh the good old hero. My very first android phone. Had that for 2 years and then upgraded to the One X. We even got ICS/Jelly Bean running on it. That phone just doesn't want to give up

Anyway, by my reckoning I'd say it's mid January (or there abouts) so let's hope three stick to that and release Jelly Bean soon(ish) but let's just say I'm not going to hold my breath
[HTC One X] Maximus78:
Follow the instructions first download and extract the nandroid backup. Then put the nandroid backup in sdcard/clockworkmod/backup making sure the file name is correct. Extract the boot.img and flash in fastboot and restore the backup. If you md5 mismatch then download the file again. No oem lock.

Same here mate, Hero > One X. What a jump but yeah mines still going strong too. If only hox was that versatile. :eek:
[HTC One X] spikeydoo2006:
Try using this RUU : https://www.dropbox.com/s/ongjb7jvr...adio_2.1204.135.20H_release_277220_signed.exe

[HTC One X] CamoGeko:
We did more than one theme mate. ;)
[HTC One X] Shiftone:
What do we reckon then? Update before the end of the week?
[HTC One X] Naforcee:
Yea, should be getting an update this week. They got it on the 10th, tests take about a week so wed-fri would be fair enough I suppose! Then, if everybody clears the update it's up to HTC to roll it out.
[HTC One X] :
Isn't it the network provider that is supposed roll out the update?
[HTC One X] joewong1991:
I phoned three the other day a made a complaint iv just got a call back from technical manger and he says the same as on Twitter in testing and he couldn't comment on progress but said hopefully this week and that the company is sorry for delaying the update Ahaha sorry ain't enough most people who got there hox on 3 won't be going back I no I ain't

Skydragon team
[HTC One X] :
I really do hope they start rolling it out in this week because everyone is enjoying jelly bean now except us 3 users !!
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
A good test to see if they are really doing anything is to have two 3 users, one branded and the other one unbranded and see if the branded one gets a better signal and speed from the same location at 3 (no pun intended) different sites.

Will prove if they have done these so called radio tweaks.
[HTC One X] Naforcee:
3 Sweden claims it's up to HTC to roll it out.
[HTC One X] knesz:
Let's hope they don't f**k up that upgrade file again. Someone should learn them how to make work copy (ctrl-c and ctrl+v on working folder).

Losers...

(unfortunately I also have H3G device..)
[HTC One X] Naforcee:
What? Care to elaborate on that?
[HTC One X] n56:
I dunno where you heard that, but that's not the problem, they say it's bugs within the actual base
[HTC One X] knesz:
Oh. My bad.

I that case, they can send me that broken update and I will gladly flash it on my own risk :)
[HTC One X] timmygadget:
Still no update :'(
[HTC One X] xl VipeR lx:
Frankly i couldn't care anymore, 3 have taken far too long, combined with no s-off by HTC, and HTC releasing new flagships or upgrades far too often (like the one x + after the one X). I'm just going to jump ship to the Xperia Z on launch
[HTC One X] clockwork.satan:
Aww, boo hoo folks. It's just an update for f'tangs sake; not the end of the world. Yes, checking every day for an update is frustrating (we've all been doing it!) but there's light at the end of the tunnel.

I'll admit that while three aren't the best network provider (i regularly get a crap signal most places) their tariffs are reasonable and is moving over to another provider really going to change things significantly? I doubt it.

HTC have begun dragging their heels with the one x though, which is why three (and I seriously think this is a good thing) have been holding-off the release of the update until they're certain that everything's working as it should. I'd rather have a perfectly working phone than a half-arsed update where some are working and others are not.

Just chill. Good things come to those who wait.
[HTC One X] knesz:
I totaly agree with you, if you plan to stay on 3 bloated firmware.

But I belive, that most of us just need upgrade, so we can flash rom of our choice. All we need, is hboot. It doesn't matter, what crap will Three put in this rom.
[HTC One X] galaxys2Tav:
I really do have to say that I agree with you and knesz if you want to stay with three stock rom, but this is XDA! The time It took for htc to sort out 4.1.1 all the Dev on xda could have sorted out HTCs bugs in less than half of the time.

On another note three are keeping us up to date the best they can from reading from a computer screen. Does anyone know someone who test firmware for three?

Tbh tho I do think in future htc and other carriers need to be more informative to there own employees and there customers. 15th tomorrow so mid jan it is guys :D
[HTC One X] Yadash:
I agree with you completely. Initially I was very impatient waiting on Three UK to release the update, however after having seen my friends one x with glitches and small bugs, I can justify Three UK's testing.
[HTC One X] meleelord:
You know how three say they want to add there optimizations. I have always been convinced it is just bloatware. Is there anything else they actually do?
[HTC One X] Goku80:
i am pretty sure by the end of the week we should see an update..hopefully before the weekend so i can try Renovate or even Zero's sound enhancer...trying different music mods on aokp but still sound quality not the same when you used Zero's mod
[HTC One X] jmpmjmpm:
Their updates always seem to fail on radio testing. I think this probably has something to do with the fact they only have a 3g network, I'm not even sure they use Orange 2g as fallback anymore. I often have problems with the phone losing signal and needing to be put in/out of airplane mode to get it back on non-stock roms.
[HTC One X] meleelord:
I've been itching to flash something new for ages! I mean I'm quite happy with my setup... but I just want to try new things! Feel very left out of all the fun! The good thing though is that all the mods and roms available will not have many bugs now. :)

I have a feeling this could be to do with there own network. Does anyone know if they still do much work on improving signal? With regards to Orange this could perhaps only work in certain areas... or perhaps with EE now around they are no longer allowed to use oranges service. Funny you should say that, I also have to switch airplane mode on/off every so often when I have not had signal to get the internet working on my phone again. Not as bad as when the phone first came out and it took the phone up to an hour to rescan for the signal! :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] Brac20:
They still use Orange occasionally, saw it just yesterday on my fiancée's phone.

She works for 3 and they are continually working on their cell towers to improve signal. They are also rolling DC-HSPA out around the country.
[HTC One X] bev309:
Any news? :eek:
[HTC One X] :
The wait is unbearable now !!.... come on three send us the update
[HTC One X] xl VipeR lx:
Took the words right put off my mouth. Any updates guys
[HTC One X] Goku80:
no news just as yet
[HTC One X] wigankev:
I sent my HOX for repair due to WiFi drops. Accordingly they have software upgraded my device to the latest software and accordingly fixed the device? I have factory reset and run RUU and problem was still there. I'll let you know if it comes back to Jelly Bean
[HTC One X] n56:
I have bad news for you, it will come back still broken, they did the same with my hox when I was getting phantom touches, I called customer support and my repair got elevated I got a month half price line rental, but when I sent the phone in I sent it with a video on the phone showing what was wrong
[HTC One X] oxide32:
Got a feeling today's gonna be another no show again.
[HTC One X] :
I think realistically Three UK should have it tested and rolled out by Friday, since they received the update from HTC on the 10th and they take 1 week of testing... It makes sense that they release it by the end of this week. However they should at least give us an estimate as to when we can expect the update to start rolling out.
[HTC One X] n56:
That's assuming they find no more bugs?
[HTC One X] :
Well lets pray they don't find another bug lol
[HTC One X] meleelord:
Back in November/December didn't they keep saying it was in testing for a couple of weeks when asked on Twitter? I hope it doesn't take more than one week to test!
[HTC One X] xl VipeR lx:
Probably lying to us
[HTC One X] galaxys2Tav:
As fare as I remember that just said it should be out in November. So what the hell happened lol. The UK was the only three counterpart to say they had problems, so for threes sake that they don't have thousands of unhappy customers is to release it asap
[HTC One X] iMack007:
It's so hard not to at least check back here 5 times a day lol. The anticipation is killing me. I miss custom Roms already but I must say that what I like about stock is that absolutely everything works... Well mine does.

Here's hoping the 6 month+ wait is soon at an end & we can exercise the freedom to choose what we run on our hoxs.

Additionally, another member already mentioned this, but after thinking about it, I'm actually glad we're last to the party. By the time we are ready to flash custom Roms, most if not all major bugs & kinks would have been resolved & all we have to do is chose which Rome best suits our needs.

Suppose it's true.... The best things in life come to those who wait, albeit we ain't got no choice! ;)
[HTC One X] fastphil:
Am the same as you mate flashed back to a asop jellybean rom don't care know about 3update but going to sell my one x and get xperia z myself even sonys updates are quicker than this so bye HTC was fun while it lasted :D
[HTC One X] xl VipeR lx:
Yep half way into jan still no update. Biggest mistake buying hox from Ebay on 3.

Xperia z is a definite move. Atleast it won't lose alot of value after 10 months I've already seen hoxs for about 240 online. Cuz HTC keep releasing new flagships every few months
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Only thing I don't like about the Z phone is the button layout
[HTC One X] CamoGeko:
Yeah, it is a bit weird.

Nothing I couldn't get used to though.

The device itself has sick build quality, and looks awesome! :D

Could def be my next device.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
and then you say i can not make my mind up:p one minute you are going for the Nexus, next you are going for the DNA now you are going for the xperia Z dude make your mind up:D
[HTC One X] Mr_S:
I've had this issue with other phones. I agree with previous comments about the radio but mainly its to add there bloatware. They will not change any performance ect.
[HTC One X] CamoGeko:
LOL!

Too many cool things to choose from hahha

I've never had a Sony device, so the Z seems like a sure thing :D
[HTC One X] Goku80:
i know this is off topic and apologies to Tav but Geks buddy is the support for that phone great though? does it come unlocked and are Sony good with their updates? To be honest the only phones that i am going to keep an eye out are:

New HTC depending if it will have s-off or some kinda means unlocked, most deffo will go with the S4 or might go with the Z as well as i do like it but the buttons would piss me off
[HTC One X] CamoGeko:
Well, Sony was voted the best OEM manufacturer of last year hence it got loads of dev support.

Plus, the chipset is Qualcomm so I have no doubts about unlocked bootloader on the Z.

In specs on GSM Arena it already states that they plan update to Android 4.2 already once device is released.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
hmmm but still it is a Sony phone:( bah might as well stick with my One X till my contract upgrade...
[HTC One X] CamoGeko:
Whats wrong with it being a Sony? :confused:
