Thanks! Worked exactly as prompted . Thanks for all the help, android 4.2.2 is awesome :laugh:.

I can't used TWRM or CWM (tried both with both problem) simultaneously with any custom ROM after I upgraded my HTC One X HBOOT from 1.12 to 1.36. The thing is I can't boot to custom recovery withoout flashing it again at fastboot and vice versa with the custom ROM. I already tried almost all of the custom ROM's available already and I can't make it work. Please help! Thanks! :fingers-crossed:

I did all of that already but i still have the same problem. I'm using Carbon Rom now but still can't boot with recovery mode whenever I try to update the ROM or flash a package. Is there any chance i can revert it back to my old hboot?

Nope, you can't downgrade if you have a S-ON device...

You need a custom recovery so you can install a custom rom ?

Downgrading with a mac is also impossible if you have an s-on device

thanks for the quick answer
In your explanation you have 4 files in the fastbootfolder, one of them is custom recovery.img
that's the file i am looking for
then i can install a custom (cm10.1)
your explanation was the most clear, so i think this is the best solution. the very best solution would be back to stock but then i drown in all the new information

Oke well the file i sent you there is a custom recovery. With that you can install CM rom. But i am willing to help you back to stock if you want to.

need help to update to jeely been

guys i follow all the information but on the last stage i got this can any one help me pls.
hboot 1.12
one x

sending 'zip' (12873 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.628s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) signature checki
FAILED (remote: 12 signature
finished. total time: 2.653s

Mr Hofs said:
Get your CID

CID getter from the playstore will do, for the easy/lazy people or do the fastboot command

Fastboot oem readcid

Once you have ypur cid you go here and get your matching firmware

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957376

And then you do this :

Rename the .zip to firmware.zip and place it in the fastboot folder

- Boot the phone to the bootloader and relock the bootloader :

Fastboot oem lock

- then put the phone in ruu mode with this command

Fastboot oem rebootRUU

(watch the capitals, this command will put the phone into a black screen with a silver HTC logo)

- then flash the firmware

Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

- you see the text on the pc screen, when it says OKE you are good. If it failed you reflash the zip right away again.

Then reboot the bootloader, unlock it, flash the custom recovery, make a full wipe and install the new JB of ypur choice and don't forget to flash its boot.img too

Sure you got the right firmware for your main number ?

Fastboot getvar version-main

And did you do :

Fastboot oem rebootRUU

then flash the firmware.zip ?!

Hi Mr Hofs,

Sorry to break into this ongoing thread, I'm having the same message as 'cemkarakurt', i checked de CID and downloaded the appropriate firmware, did the relock, rebootRuu and then flashed the firmware with fastboot. That's where i got the signaturemessage.

I'm stuck at the moment, read some things about Blackrose but hesitating to use that. Any help would be appreciated!

ps. i'm trying to upgrade from an older 10.1 version (march 2013) to a more recent one, seems there are some changes in the installation. I have a one s (ville).

Aren't the issues/solutions the same, like with this error? I understand firmware etc are different but workaround will not be very different? Thanks anyway!

I dont think indeed there is a significant difference but for all safety and less confusion i like to have a device at its own specific forum

pls help me upgrade hboot 1.12 to hboot 1.31. my htc one x: CID 11111111, Hboot 1.12. thanks all!

Onarbo · Aug 22, 2013

Hi, your guide to updating the hboot is great and simple, I would love to try it, but the problem is that I'm a bit afraid if i will be able to unlock the bootloader after i relock it again, because I don't have the original unlockcode.bin or the account that was used to get the unlock code. Will I be able to reunlock it with a different account and unlockcode.bin than was used for the first time?
Thanks in advance
