Installing new ROM - HTC One Max

I want to install sense 6 .. and I will make backup before trying to.. but my question is if I restore my backup I can install official update again?? because I want the official sense 6 but can't wait also if I restore the backup all applications and home page shortcut will be there or I will loose them all ??

yes you can restore from backup. it will come on with everything you had on there at the time of backup.
to receive ota, wipe system, restore backup, and flash stock recovery. also lock bootloader via scotty123's method.
some people reporting ota working fine without locking bootloader. but stock recovery must be there for it to work

Aha.. is there any way to unlock bootloader without htc dev and I think yes but what is the difference between them. And just to be clear to install custom rom I have to unlock bootloader then root then installing CWM and then flash the rom .. Root and CWM does not affect my data so I can backup them..
And thank you so much

unlock without htc dev only possible with soff. so no on stock phone.
not gonna explain soff and unlock, read forums. explained there
to install rom, just unlock bootloader.install recovery of your choice thats it. the rom you install will probably be rooted anyway!

[Q] Can't update to ICS (rooted with CWM)

Hi,
I've tried updating to ICS but got the black screen with the blue android icon and the triangle.
From searching the web I got mixed answers, some said that it may be because I've changed to CWM.
I'm still s-on.
What do I need to do in order for the update to work?
Thank you !!!:good:
Revert back to stock.

You could change recoveries to 4ext (see my signature) since that is what people think the problem might be. Also, ICS does not seem to work well with S-On from what I've seen in these forums, so you may want to get S-Off.
thanks but..
First of all thanks to both of you for answering..
I'm a bit new at this so a couple of questions -
I didn't change roms, all I did was to unlock the bootloader (using HTCDEV) replace the recovery and get root. This means that I'm on stock Rom no?
Does changing the recovery to 4EXT will help? cause it's doesn't seem logical that changing to a different recovery will help me install the official OTA update..
Oh and I'm using the GSM version if that matters..
Again, thanks!

To install official updates you need stock htc recovery.... Since you have Cwm it won't work.. Flash stock htc recovery using fast boot then take the ota update and everything will be fine.
I'm aware that this may seem like a dumb question, but where do I get the stock recovery from?
(I know that fast boot is that file that I have on my computer, the one that i used to flash CWM recovery)
Thanks!!

Don't know if this will work, but I just searched evo 3d gsm stock recovery in Google and this came out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540121
There is a media fire link for the recovery.....
Flash it using fast boot, relock the bootloader and then try to install the ota..... And post back the results.... But taking the ota will update you Hboot, which might not be in unlockable atm....
Thanks!!

I've flashed the recovery file you gave me, relocked and the update went great!!

if you have unlocked your bootloader via htvdev way why not try a custom rom? Lots of Roms out there. I'm currently on Virtuous Eclipse. Sense 4.0 is the best!

Please Help

Search has failed me, I have a rezound that i rooted after unlocking the bootloader and using hansons toolkit..
What is the best way to get to stock so I can accept the ICS update and re root?
I am familiar with how to relock my bootloader..
Thank you all
PS I called verizon today because my rezound is a bit fishy with the charger wanting to replace it to under warranty , they no longer have them available and are shipping the Razr Maxx as a substitute...UGGGH.
Don't accept that Motorola garbage.... Less processor speed and terrible screen also less dev support. Oh and you don't need to get back to stock to get ics just flash the ics ota in bootloader

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you wouldn't do that for the over the air update.
You would need to flash stock recovery (assuming you've flashed a custom recovery), and then they can install the update through Android, like normal.
The guide i posted takes you through this process, as i did it.

Oh, and if you flashed Clockwork Mod, this is likely causing your charging problems. This is why i used AR Recovery 3.15 instead.
You can either take the OTA update or install an RUU.
Both ways, you have to relocked your bootloader or S-OFF.
For the OTA, you should be stock everything.
Stock recovery and rom.
For an RUU, just make sure you are on a rom that matches your firmware.
Gingerbread ROM on Gingerbread firmware.

For the OTA, you need to be stock everything or it won't install. This is why I included instructions on how to revert back to stock recovery before trying the OTA.
You do not need to re-lock your hboot if you have S-OFF. What happens is that the OTA update re-locks the bootloader and you have to unlock it again if you want to play with your device (like, re-install AR Recovery). Or, if you have S-Off, you can install a different hboot that's already unlocked, and then you can flash custom recoveries, etc. But since messing with the hboot is very risky, I chose to re-unlock my hboot the HTC way after installing the OTA.
*important edit*
The OTA may have worked for me with an unlocked hboot because I was S-Off prior to updating. If you're not S-Off, you may indeed need to re-lock before updating.
However, it may be just as easy to get S-Off. It's actually very easy. I will make a very easy guide for this as well. Let me know, and I can help you through it. I'm not an expert, but it doesn't take an expert. The hardest part for me was just finding a good, uncomplicated guide - doesn't seem to be one at the moment, though there is a ton of info out there.
Anyway, let me know if you want help getting S-Off.

you need to be unlocked if you want to flash recoveries. You should have flashed the stock recovery and then relocked. (if I'm understanding what you did)

Flashing a recovery won't affect root. The OTA will break root, but it's simple to restore. That's the easy part.
What I think you should do first is achieve S-OFF (you do not need to re-lock if you achieve S-OFF. It's easy, and it makes switching ROMs easier).
Then flash stock recovery.
Then accept OTA update(s).
Then unlock again (rather than mess with your bootloader).
Then flash superSU to restore root.
All per my instructions. I think they will make it easy as possible for you. The hardest thing, I think, is trying to find a step-by-step guide on all of this.
Just my opinion. There's a lot of info out there, but it's hard to sort through which steps you should choose to do, and when you should do them.

4.3 Ota new Hboot question

So I usually just flash my stock att Rom, flash stock recovery , then update. Once I finish I flash twrp back , backup the newly updated stock Rom, then restore my custom Rom backup. This way at least I am benefiting from an updated radio etc.
Now, with this update I understand there is a new hboot. Is that only going to affect my ability to s off in the future ?
And also will twrp work with this new hboot that comes with the 4.3 ota update ? I'm not worried about s off. I just want to be able to flash custom kernels and roms.
So basically my question boils down to will twrp work with the new hboot? Am I safe to restore stock Rom, flash stock recovery , Ota and then flash twrp back ?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

You will be unable to S-Off after the update (I would highly recommend you s-off, you can always s-on after the update. Advantages of s-off are being able to "lock" the bootloader if you ever needed to return it to the manufacturer. Without s-off, you would only be able to "relock" your device and they can tell that you unlocked the bootloader)
As for TWRP, it will still work.

Hey, I just created a headache for myself trying this. I was unlocked and rooted (not S-off) until last night. I flashed the GuruReset ROM, did nothing but hook up wifi and did the 4.3 OTA. So afterwards the bootloader still showed unlocked and tampered.
I tried using Goo mgr to get twrp (only old 2.6.01 there) it wouldn't take, tried SuperSU from the PlayStore - no go. Went to HTCDev and the token created today is different than what I got this spring. Tried the Unlock_code and it won't take. I've got the original code I unlocked with but I'm thinking that would bork my 1 if I tried it now. I'll have more time later to mess with this later.
So NO I don't think you would get TWRP to work with hboot1.55.

Well I go about it a little different than you do it seems.

Then do the Ota.

Just flash it in fastboot. It even re-rooted for me. Apparently didn't need to unlock again that's why HTCDev didn't work.

Reset to Stock/3.10.502.2/No S-Off

Hello all,
I usually don't like posting new threads as you can find all you need by searching, but I believe I have a particular situation.
I rooted my phone a while ago using the appropriate methods and then flashed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440315
I didn't recognize until now, as I am trying to return to stock rom and stuff in order to clean install the new official AT&T update, that this rom somehow also updated my firmware to 3.10.502.2 but I am not S-Off. I didn't/don't know how it upgraded my firmware to this w/o being S-Off but it is. So I have read that if I try and install any other stock rom than my touch screen won't work. And in order for that to work, I think I'll have to gain S-Off and then flash an earlier firmware then flash a rom, but I don't really want to be S-Off for this phone.
Also another stupid mistake I did was not create a nandroid backup of my stock everything before flashing
So in order to accomplish my goal I believe my 2 options are to either gain S-Off, flash an ealier firmware (like 1.26.502.12) and then flash a stock rom or I saw a link that had a stock nandroid backup: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272893
that I can maybe use to restore but will this restore my firmware too?
Any help would be appreciated

[Q] Cannot Download OTA

I have an AT&T HOX+ running stock. It's unlocked via HTC and rooted. I cannot download any OTAs. I learned the hard way that you cannot download OTAs if you have any stock apps disabled so I've re-enabled them. Now it goes through the motions and finds the update, but when I connect to Wifi all I see is a blank message as seen in the attached screenshot.

Maybe Unroot and try.......
You must first flash the stock recovery and then relock bootloader using the command "fastboot oem lock" in fastboot. The stock recovery.img can be flashed using the fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" where "recovery.img" is replaced with whatever your recovery name is and .img. Make sure you flash the recovery before relocking. Root should not mess up the update although you will lose root after the update. I updated while the device was still rooted!

It's not the unrooting that will cause you to lose any data or other content on your device. It is the re-unlocking of the bootloader or the running of a RUU. AFAIK, there is no way to keep your device contents while you update the radio and hboot. The only option is to backup contents of SD, backup apps using Google or TiBU, and backup sms and call log. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure this is how it goes. With that being said, it is not mandatory that you upgrade the radio/hboot in order to install a ROM that is sense 5/JB 4.2.2. There are already ROM's out there for AT&T built on this base

If you update via the OTA then your factory firmware WILL be updated. Maybe you can request that a dev make a ROM that is stock and rooted sense5/JB 4.2.2, you might grab the interest of someone.. That way you could have a "stock" image of the ROM and avoid the radio/hboot upgrade. Otherwise, you will just have to go through the update process, wiping your device. IMO, backing everything up is not too painstaking and it is a good practice to do this periodically anyways. Just my .02!
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
Backing up isn't too difficult on JB. I've done it manually as well as with Helium and other apps throughout the rooting/experimenting process. It's been my experience that those app backups don't restore properly and I'm left starting over anyway. The issues could be app specific, but I honestly don't remember which apps didn't work now.
Of course, I suppose it's all a small price to pay to have a phone that actually works when I connect my BT headset.
Where does one find the stock recovery?
I hope this isn't silly, but I've been running custom recovery forever and I'm blanking as to where to locate/d-load the stock recovery.
thanks!

Not sill at all. I have an image that I believe is the stock recovery, but how can I be sure?

OK, well after dusting off the cobwebs and reading some threads for the Intl version I learned this... the stock firmware will also contain the radios and stock recovery. So now I'm looking for the correct firmware to match my phone's CID and Modelid. The command to dump these variables out is 'fastboot getvar all'
My AT&T OneX+ reported this:
(bootloader) modelid: PM6310000
(bootloader) cidnum: CWS__001
There's a txt file in the firmware.zip that will contain a list of the applicable CID numbers the firmware can apply to. Evidently since our phones are S-on an entry in the list must correspond to the device's reported CID.
So now I'm searching for an updated firmware.zip
You can find the stock rom here as found in this thread.
