[HTC Desire X] Leon:
I think our device wont get any new updates...We will be stuck 4ever on 4.1.1 officialy...CM10 can work on 4.2.2 but for me that isnt real android 4.2.2 ; ( Is not the HTC android that they make...And CM9 still have 4-5 bugs , on that logic CM10 maybe will not be ready in next few months
[HTC Desire X] energeiakos:
I still have 4.0.4 in my device. Is 4.1.1 available officially?

I have not understood yet, what are the dangerous to root my device or to put an unofficial rom. Are there somewhere details about it?

Also, is there an unofficial rom available which is apparently better than the 4.0.4 official?

Thanks.
[HTC Desire X] xpirt:
Yes 4.1.1 was released official but not for all countries, if you have stock rom you can go in Settings->System Updates and check ;)

[HTC Desire X] energeiakos:
I go to Settings - About - Software Updates - Check now and it says me: Your phone is up to date - There are no updates available for your phone

And If I go to Settings - About - Software Information, it says: Android version 4.0.4.

I live in Greece. What I have to do for installing 4.1.1.? Is there a way?
[HTC Desire X] RossFixxed:
Patience really.

What's your cid? Have you read the other threads on jelly bean here?
[HTC Desire X] energeiakos:
How can I find my cid? No, I have not read the other threads. Which thread do you suggest me?
[HTC Desire X] RossFixxed:
The 4.1.1 thread in this forum. Download cid getter in play store.

Also try Google, your question is answered about 20 times in this forum alone.

Hope you get the update soon :)

I downloaded the cid getter app from the play store. It will show in red at the top of the screen

Ok , i see its been answered already.

It can be time consuming and fiddly...

ALWAYS make back ups and copy onto your pc!!!

Read read read before you decide then read more about it. Cannot stress these things enough.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fractalogic:
Hey guys!

I used an RUU to flash my Desire back to the old software (build) version 2.10.405.2. This gave me Android 2.2 (Froyo). I think this is the one that came with my phone (if my memory serves me well). Those who bought it before me had to upgrade from Eclair to get Froyo. I think I had Froyo already.

But why does it say "Revolutionary" and "S-OFF" in my HBOOT menu? Doesn't the RUU flash everything?

Also, when I go into Recovery I get the usual warning triangle icon. So there are no menus, there used to be CWM (clock work mod) with menus.

So the recovery image has been flashed and the ROM image has been flashed? But just not the HBOOT image?

Can I download the HBOOT image only somewhere? And then flash it using Fastboot Commander?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
U have to flash alpharev downgrader first then run the ruu, that way it will be completely stock s-on
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fractalogic:
So I guess I was on the right path then. I mean I just flashed it with what seemed to be the stock HBOOT image. I visited the AlphaRev website and downloaded a file called PB99IMG_stock.zip. This ZIP file includes a file called hboot.img. I used the command prompt to write this file to the phone in fastboot mode.

But all that did is it changed the title in the HBOOT menu from "Revolutionary" to "AlphaRev".

I will try the downgrade image now.

What will the command be?

fastboot flash hboot bravo_downgrade.img

Is that right?...

And then I will run the RUU? Right? And this will flash the proper stock HBOOT image?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
From what i understand you have Stock hboot now (you said you've flashed it)

So yes, now just flash downgrader and run RUU.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fractalogic:
Patched HBOOT images (Revolutionary & Alpha Rev) are protected against downgrades

Hi k3lcior!

If I was on stock HBOOT, then why did it say "Revolutionary" on top of the screen when I hold Volume down and Power button to enter HBOOT menu?

Yes, I did say I flashed it. Or that's what I thought I did. What I meant is I ran the RUU (ROM Utility Update) for build 2.10.405.2. I mentioned the name of the file in the post above. This is a 166 MB file. It's not an OTA update or anything of that nature, like updates of 30 MB or less. So running the RUU (166 MB) should flash everything on the phone, not just parts of it.

RUU file is big because it includes the ROM, the recovery image, and it should also include the HBOOT image. But for some reason when I ran this it only flashed and replaced my ROM image, and the recovery image. It failed to flash and replace my HBOOT image.

I now know why.

This is a quote from the AlphaRev website. It's more clear to me now why it didn't work in the first place.

I actually had the "Revolutionary" HBOOT because that's what I used. I used Revolutionary to get S-OFF and root access on Android 2.3.3 on HTC Desire. It of course also installs a custom recovery image (CWM or Clock Work Mod) with "Revolutionary" background and "Revolutionary" printed on HBOOT menu.

So my conclusion is that both "Revolutionary" and "AlphaRev" HBOOT images have this "downgrade protection" feature. That's why running RUU to restore everything to stock version fails to restore the HBOOT image to it's stock version. The HBOOT image on the phone was being protected. That's where the "downgrade image" comes in. You use that to remove the protection

first

. And

then

you run the RUU and it will flash everything,

including

the HBOOT image.

After all, the Revolutionary is a later development based on AlphaRev, and other tools and exploits. So it's not hard to imagine that they share same features. The last time I used AlphaRev and Unrevoked to get root and S-OFF was when I had Android 2.29 (I think it was build 2.29.405.2). I had no problems running the RUU to restore everything back to stock version, including the HBOOT image. But I did not downgrade it that time. I mean I just used the RUU for the same version, as the one that was already on the phone. And of course I didn't use Revolutionary at that time.

So I'm not sure... it's either because of the fact that I used Revolutionary this time (instead of Unrevoked + AlphaRev), or it's because I went from Android 2.3.3 to Android 2.2 (a downgrade), or it's because I was going from HBOOT version 6.93.1002 (came with Revolutionary) to HBOOT version 0.93.0001 which comes with the RUU for (a downgrade).

It may also be that the AlphaRev HBOOT image didn't have the "downgrade protection" until version 1.80. So it's possible that I used some old version of the AlphaRev that didn't have this feature when I rooted and S-OFFed the old Android 2.29.

One of these cases apply, but I'm not sure which one. In either case, I got rid of the custom HBOOT image. It's all back to stock now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fractalogic:
FWIW;

When you visit the AlphaRev website you will see that there is a table with two columns that hold file names and download links. One just says "Download". Th other says "PB99IMG". If you are doing this from a computer, with the phone connected to the computer with a USB cable, then you probably want the files from the column that says "Download".

If you for some reason don't have access to a computer, or you don't know what command prompt is, you don't know how to install the Android SDK so that you can send the fastboot commands... well, whatever the reason may be, then you probably want the files from the column that says "PB99IMG". These are ZIP files that include the same files you will find under "Download", with the addition of some extra files/tools. The idea is to place it on an SD card and let the phone do the rest. It's sort of this "unplugged" and automated way of doing things.

I'm not sure how it helps renaming a ZIP file. If the file name is "PB99IMG.zip" (with the zip extension already) how does it help renaming it to... something like "PB99IMG.zip.zip"? Is that what they are saying? That you should add one more zip extension to the end of the file name... or that you should add

one

if there is no extension. I'm not sure what they mean, but I would go with "PB99IMG.zip".

I have not tried this method myself, but this may be easier to use for some user. Instead of having to install the SDK et al. You may be able to even download the ZIP file right on the phone, without even touching a computer. You just need to have it on the SD card of the phone. And enter the HBOOT menu. I guess there is some Bat file or something inside the ZIP file that automates everything else.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
@ OP

glad u got sorted. its good to see that u actually took the time to read and understand what u did, unlike other user who just post problems coz they cant be bothered to read anything and try to understand how things work so :good: to u.

Now about the PB99IMG. Your bootloader will only read PB99IMG it so thats why u have to rename it from PB99IMG_downgrade to PB99IMG. The downgrade part is only there so u know what file it is
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] screwdestiny:
I'm having trouble taking non-blurry pictures on with default camera app. Is there a setting I can change to make it better? Is the auto-focus on the Galaxy S4 really that poor? It seems like even the slightest movement or hand tremble results in blur. By contrast, I downloaded Camera Zoom and the pictures with that app are much clearer. I also never had this much trouble on my Nexus S.

I'd rather use the Samsung camera with the better layout and additional features, but it's practically impossible for me to take a non-blurry picture. Anyone having this issue or have any tips?

(I took the plastic off of the back camera already)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] E The Magnificent:
Double check and make sure anti shake is turned on. With it on it helps prevents blurring.

Hi guy, just received my replacement htc One and the QC is even worse than the first. First One had an uneven top speaker slip (sharp edge overhang) uneven glass and recessed power button. This replacement is uneven top and bottom with sharp speaker slip overhangs to left again, sim tray is tatty, but the worst issue (and a new one) is the volume rocker that is so proud of the body on the screen edge you can see where the chrome plating finishes. I've spoken to my supplier and they are sending another replacement. Love the phone, hate the QC. Has anyone got a close to decent unit? First was HT serial, second is SH.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nullkill:
LoL well if you get a good unit then it's amazing if you get a bad unit then HTC is devil and has major problems :( The phone seems to be great quality like HTC usually does. There are some issues right now as the phone hasn't been out long and they are trying to pump out as many as possible. I by some miracle have gotten lucky with the ONE. This suprisses me because I generally have to exchange phones I've done as many as 5 before I got a perfect unit (haha it was a iphone 5). It's really a crap shoot when phones are first released if you are the kind of person who can spot a dead pixel on 468PPI screen then you are the kind of person who is anal retentive about their phone (nothing wrong with that I admit it proudly heck I inspect phones under high powered flashlight and direct sunlight :)).

I can't really say anything other then it doesn't appear that there are any more bad unit with the HTC One than with any other phone. Unfortunately most phones get released with some manufacturing bugs that have to be worked out.

First of all, PCC wont allow you to update when you are in unlocked BL - the process itself won't start. So no problems of bricking!
