installation:
•download link

•push the zip on your sdcard
•check md 5
•flash through recovery


If the improvements also work for you please hit the thanks button.

PLEASE THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE
Flashing this on custom rom can give big issues flash only on nandroid backup of stock rom

N.B.
If you have a OTA, Download OTA zip from one-x and copy to PC, edit the zip file META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script , Delete line >

assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" ,
"22222222" , "33333333" , "44444444" , "55555555" , "66666666" ,
"77777777" , "88888888" , "99999999" , "HTC__622") == "t");

No you can flash only on unlocked phone with custom recovery. No mallware! This is original file where i delete only some script that verify CID.
For me this OTA this file don't update also radio but only system file. Is for user that wan't new radio

@jonata ARHD as same effect on system file so no flash this file. If you search radio on hboot you can see that radio is not upgrade even if mike tell yes.
this file is for people that do't want new radio but only new system file on 1.28 base

to use this you need to have the stocks files (those which will be updated) from 1.28 rom (and the ROM in place has to be the one for this OTA).
As the ASSERT are still in the update-script you have to be sure also that you have all the files which will be updated.

@acer73, you should tell for which device rom is this OTA ;) 1.28.401.9 ?

allHello i did thé steps all ok except now I lost the recovery ....
I clear cash flash again interim and nothing
Help please

Sorry, but this file can't overwrite recovery. You can flash with fastboot cmw recovery o run cmw recovery putting cwm_recvovery. imf in a directory with fastboot and use this command (can you create a .bat file)


fastboot.exe boot cwm_recovery.img
fastboot reboot

If you want you can use http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1620755 to automate process.
good luck

if this is a modded "original" OTA update, it should only work on 1.28 odexed roms...
not custom deodexed ones.

    HOWTO PREPARE OTA FOR INSTALL (Remove CID script)

    As my One X is rooted any OTA updates failed on "check_cid" so download the OTA to your phone and then connect to your PC, open the OTA file then navigate to META-INF\com\google\android\ then open updater-script in notepad and remove the following script

    assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" , "22222222" , "33333333" , "44444444" , "55555555" , "66666666" , "77777777" , "88888888" , "99999999" , "HTC_……);

    Save it, then reboot to RECOVERY mode (hold power + volume down then select FASTBOOT then RECOVERY Select the update from SD Card and there you go, works perfect on Rooted One X

    DONT INSTALL IT IF YOU HAVE A CUSTOM ROM RUNNING, THIS MAY CAUSE A PROBLEM WITH THE BOOT.IMG.
