I updated and I think my battery health is better. What about other users? Do u see any changes?
Sent from my HTC One X+ using XDA Free mobile app
I've installed the update now (on top of my custom ROM).
Vibration when I press the capacitive buttons or use the unlock pattern has stopped working. I do have "Settings->Sound->Vibrate on touch" ticked. Has anyone else seen this problem?
EDIT: after lots of fiddling vibrate on touch works. I'm beginning to think I might have been imagining things!
I will install it tomorrow and say if something changed apart. I really hope they took care about other HOX bugs, not just that damn heartbleed.
I try to install on rooted last stock, but it reboot in recovery (twrp)... Rebooted, phone is ok but update not installed... Help?
From what I know, stock OTA updates can only be installed on stock recovery. Not TWRP or CWM.
When in TWRP just browse to the downloaded .zip file (sdcard or download folder) and install manually.
Mine is installed the exact same way and no problem (Rooted, latest stock ROM and TWRP)

That only installs part of the update. You also need to extract the downloaded .zip file and flash the firmware.zip (see instructions 4-7 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2414238). Flashing firmware.zip is a pain because you have to relock your bootloader, and then when you unlock it again (to reflash custom recovery) your entire phone is wiped, so you need to backup the whole 64GB before starting the process and restore it afterwards.
However, there is no hboot in the 2.18.401.3 firmware.zip so for this OTA in particular you just need to extract the boot.img from firmware.zip and flash it with
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
which doesn't require a wipe.

Thanks for the explanation.
But i'm still a lit bit confused. My HOX+ is rooted with latest stock ROM. Can i use the OTA classic process or do i have to use TWRP ?

Have you unlocked your bootloader?* If so I don't think that the standard OTA process will work, although I haven't personally tried it.
*I expect you have if you are rooted because I'm not aware of a way of rooting a S-ON HOX+ without unlocking the bootloader
Just to be clear, this file is only for the international HOX+ and attempting to install it on the AT&T variety would cause all hell to break lose, correct?
Also, if one were to install this on a custom, rooted rom the process would be to flash the boot.img then install the zip from twrp/cwm?
I just want to be certain I'm understanding everything. Thanks!

Boot in TWRP : Install zip file.
Boot in fastboot : Flash boot.img.
Reboot in system => Still root (TWRP fix it before reboot), and updated.
Just perfect. (and lost apk are back (like light).
Thanks a lot
I think the heartbleed fix in really the only thing they changed. The 8 MP camera bug is still present. Shame on you HTC!
Thank you, this was really helpful. Gonna try to go back stock when I get home.

I recently bought a htc one x plus and as the person as i am, i quickly unlocked the bootloader, installed a custom recovery (ClockworkMod recovery) and kernel. But then i tried to flash a AOKP Jelly Bean 4.2.1 Custom ROM and after flashing it, it would just hang around the AOKP boot logo (a horse head with rotating rings around it). Then, without thinking, i relocked the bootloader (with a custom rom) to send it for warranty. Now, it would only go to the bootloader screen. After going through a few forums, i found out that this could be repaired by using the correct ruu for my device but they all say that i have to flash a stock recovery and boot.img before relocking the bootloader in order for the ruu to work. So my question is can i reunlock my bootloader to flash the stock recovery and boot.img without bricking the device and can flashing the correct ruu repair my phone. Please reply, i'm so desperate. The htc guys wanted me to pay $400 just to repair it and since i rooted the phone, warranty does not cover it.

You can unlock the boot again if you kept the code you received when you did it the 1st time round. Once you have unlocked it you can then flash any Rom. Did you make a nand backup before installing the custom Rom? If you did you can reinstall the custom recovery and restore the phone to stock.
I currently run the viper 3.4.2 rom, you could also install this after installing the custom recovery.

Hi Sharveen,
Please do youself a favor, and don't use the CWM Recovery, this Recovery is not adapted for this phone, I strongly suggest that you install TWRP Recovery, the latter is way more complete and rigorously tested on the HTC One X+.
TIP : Please read, read, read as much as you can before doing any changes to your phone, that can save you lots of problem.
First make sure your SDK tool (adb) is correctly installed and also the HTC's drivers. (There is a link for a tutorial in my signature.)
Download the correspondent recovery for your phone International OR AT&T/Telus (N.B. Links are available in the Sticky FAQ)
Flash the Recovery.
Clear Cache
Reboot in Recovery
DO A COMPLETE BACKUP OF YOUR ACTUAL ROM. BE SURE TO KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE
Install your correspondent version of any ROM.zip you want that is already on your storage. (Otherwise,Sideload a ROM to be able to flash one inRecovery)
Flash the boot.img of your desired ROM
Clear Cache Again
Reboot
Should work
Thank you soo much for replying and no, i did not make a nandroid backup when i tried to flash the rom. So can flashing a correct ruu repair my phone and hopefully get it back to stock rom...
Is your SDK/ADB tool correctly installed?

If you want to flash a RUU you need to install the original Recovery then flashing the correspondent RUU. Just let us know what is your preference, but as far as I am concern, your original backup wasn't made too bad, but you can still install a modded ROM.
This is gonna be your call for the continuity.

You could try searching the forum to see if someone has a nand backup for your phone. Only problem with ruu's is they haven't released the more up to date ones, so if your phone had the latest ota I doubt you will be able to use the ruu method. Personally I would use a custom Rom until you can find a nand for your phone.

The original recovery will be contained in the %temp% folder created by the ruu when opened but do i have to flash the boot.img which is also contained in the folder and also most of the forums says that you have to flash the boot.img after flashing the recovery while some says that you could relock the bootloader and flash the ruu after flashing the recovery only. So in my situation, do i have to flash the boot.img or not.

Hello,
maybe this will help a few user's of Vodafone branded Desire X who want to receive OTA again.
This is tested and known to work with CID VODAP102
and may work for other VODAP CID's (UK) as the OTA Package said Vodafone UK
Steps by step:
1. Copy the TWRP Folder on your SD card
2. Flash TWRP if not flashed already
3. restore the backup named "B"
4. flash the boot.img via fastboot as recovery
5. flash the recovery_signed.img via fastboot as recovery
6. fastboot oem lock
7. cross fingers and reboot
Download: http://d-h.st/9wj
Hit the Thanks button if it helped

Can I just thank you again for this! I'm currently downloading the older OTA updates but soon I'll be on JB. I do not think it is necessary to relock the bootloader as I tried locking it then unlocking it again and I'm doing OTAs absolutely fine Cheers man
I think OTA's that will do more than change the system partition will require a locked bootloader
that's probably true, because i'm on 1.26.161.1 and it's refusing me OTA, going to have to lock bootloader
EDIT: Hmmm still being told my phone is up to date, suppose there's an issue with the ROM having VODAP102 and me having VODAP001?
Nope, Vodafone just hasn't branded the JB OTA yet, so we have to wait
If you received the update to 1.26 , the OTA should work normally when our JB OTA will come out...

Follow these instructions as follows:
1) Extract B folder from that VODAP102 ZIP
2) Copy that B folder (somewhere inside the ZIP) to SDCARD\TWRP\BACKUPS\[SERIALNO]\
3) Boot into TWRP recovery, restore that nandroid.
4) Reboot to fastboot
5) Fastboot flash boot boot.img
(The boot.img from the VODAP102 ZIP must be with your fastboot files)
6) Fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
(Must be the recovery_signed.img from the VODAP102 ZIP)
7) Boot into the phone, install the small incremental update.
8) Wait for it to reboot to stock recovery and do its thing.
9) When finished, check for updates and start downloading JB.
If you follow these instructions religiously, you won't have any problems.
I will create a update package for you in the next days to upgrade to 1.25 hboot and restore my new JB backup directly, but I got a lot theater stuff to do, I have to do all lightning things etc, so it will take till monday or so.
Haha, you wouldn't believe me what the problem was
Everyone said I have to lock my bootloader, so I did... Than I had always this boot problems...
So I tried different things...
I unlocked my bootloader again, and tried to reboot... And... Voila.. My DX was booting and also the update was no problem with the unlocked bootloader

Hi all,
i tried every single step as told in the description. But my restore failed every time. Anyone knows what to do?
HTC Desire X - VODAP102
As I already told you... You can't restore an ICS backup on JB bootloader. Please tell us exactly what you have done, every single step starting from when you got your phone.
Do you have a JB hboot?
Maybe I can upload my old JB backup in the next days...
That'll be great to have. If you have hosting problems, I can load it up too when you give it to me.

You have one or two options. You can go to my thread and flash the firmware package and then the new radio, then flash a stock 4.3 rom in the ATT thread. Or you can go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474782 download the 1.26.502.15 rom and flash, take the ota, reboot and flash your custom recovery and if it's twrp allow it to root and done. Also if you could do fastboot getvar all in boot loader so we could know what firmware, etc. your on would be helpful.

The RUU contains radio: 4A.19.3263.13_10.38j.1157.04
The OTA contains radio: 4T.20.3218.13_10.12.1718.01L
I was able to flash the ruu.zip file and return to stock without issues. Currently rooted and using CID CWS__01 -- All after I flashed the ruu, and entered the bootloader, it reported my CID as 1111111 (this was before I changed it).
I've done a ton with firmware zips but haven't flashed an RUU yet. Will an RUU zip clear storage as well? Kind of want to play around with the stock experience for a couple days before ViperOne 4.3 makes an appearance.

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!

Is there a way to unroot without losing data? I haven't found one yet.

So there's no way to update and run a custom recovery? If I have to relock the bootloader, I can't unlock again without factory wiping.
Why can't HTC just get the bluetooth right from the start? How did they even release a phone when BT doesn't work?

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 I unroot and install the OTA, and then unlock the bootloader again, with it keep the updated firmware or drop back to factory?
If I'm going through all this trouble, maybe I should be looking at a custom ROM. Any suggestions for a Sense 5 one built on AT&T? I haven't seen one for this phone.

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!

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!

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.

When updating firmware just rename firmware.ZIP to 0p6bimg.zip and copy it to the ext-sd and reboot into hboot to update firmware. The firmware ZIP has the stock recovery so if you are updating your Rom using the twrp backup make sure to use modified firmware zip (s-off only)

Not sure about s-on I think as long as you remove recovery.img and boot.img it would be ok but I've never had to do that since I'm s-off don't try it until someone who knows answers your question [emoji6]

A Couple of Questions
As the image shows, it appears that my firmware is outdated, but I have a couple of concerns before flashing the new zip file.
I have been thinking of going S-Off, but is it necessary before flashing the firmware and a new ROM (currently running Liquidsmooth KK Milestone 3.2)?
I have TWRP recovery. How do I remove recovery.img and boot.img before updating the firmware?
I'm no noob, but the M8 appears to have more options (for lack of a better term) than my previous Android phones & tablets.

Hey Canuck...
You're right - the additional options for HTC phones mostly boil down to the S-On/Off deal and firmware flashing.
If you've got the AT&T variant and haven't changed your CID, you can use the firmware here. You only need to be S-Off if you're going to flash non-AT&T firmware.
For the recovery, you can just open the firmware Zip file in the OP and delete those two files out of it. When you flash, it will update everything else except those. Alternately, you can just flash without removing them but will have to reflash TWRP via fastboot to get the custom recovery back.

So if I'm rooted, s on, custom recovery and on 4.4.4 stock...How can I go about getting the ota?

Try using 7-zip. The firmware Zips can be a little strange but 7-Zip always works for me. Or just flash it as-is and reflash TWRP.

Hmm -- no luck using 7zip either. I get a popup saying 'Error deleting file or folder -- not implemented."

Yep - that's how I do it. Not sure why these particular Zips are difficult; there's nothing special about them. Just extract, delete and rezip the rest.

OK - this is getting frustrating.
I unzipped, deleted, and zipped.
But when I went to the bootloader screen and hit HBoot I got this, which to me says the firmware didn't update.

Yes make sure you put it in the twrp folder on ext-sd also you need to have twrp recovery on your computer to flash it via cmd using fastboot because after you flash new firmware it will replace twrp with stock & you will have to re-flash twrp recovery
