[GUIDE] How to install JellyBean 4.1.1 with Sense 4+ ROMs | Easier method! 1.23/1.28

[ClydeB1]

Hi, thanks for the clear explanation.

So this means that I can simply re-flash stock rom, lock bootloader, then get official OTA to upgrade my hboot, then unlock my bootloader again to enjoy the custom JB roms?

Yes, flash back to stock rom by using the latest available ruu, there's no need to relock bootloader. When the OTA is received apply the update which will update your hboot version and you can then use any of the JB custom roms available.

Tried method 2 with OrDroid 8.3 but getting a bootloop.

What I've done so far:

1. done a backup
2. fastboot erase cache
3. flashed OrDroid
4. flashed TripNReVeR's kernel
5. fastboot erase cache
6. fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. reboot

Thought this way works for all (no matter what CID they have), but I don't get the OS running. Any tips?

Did you do a full wipe? It seems you only erased cache in fastboot. You need to do a complete wipe using either recovery or else Mike (ARHD) has a SuperWipe.zip in his thread. Which boot.img file did you flash, the one from TripNRaver's kernel or the one from the JB rom?

That is due to JB. Google have changed the way that devices are recognized with JB and now use MTP rather than USB Mass Storage, so the phone now shows up as a media device on your pc and it should be automatic

Thank you ClydeB1! Not needing to relock and reunlock bootloader really saves a lot of time!

According to that error message you don't have a compatible CID and therefore can't flash the new hboot. You,have to wait until the OTA is released for your CID. What CID do you have?

Mine shows this

C:\adb>fastboot getvar cid
cid: None

cid: None

Use command fastboot oem readcid

Step 4: Relock your device

First flash a stock boot.img, if you don't you will get in a bootloop.

Sorry for the question but what boot.img do i need? I am currently on ViperX Firmware ICS.

The flashing of the stock boot.img is not necessary. Just relock bootloader, the phone should reboot to bootloader mode, then enter command fastboot oem rebootRUU and then flash the firmware.zip. There is also no need for the adb reboot oem-78 command.

hi, i have CID 02__001, is this same HTC__001?

 

[trippinz]

Method 2 has no mention of a required CID, so can i use this method with a unlisted CID?

No it's not

Yes you can, but note that there are bugs using this method, the biggest one being that you won't have any sound, including ringtones which sort of defeats the main purpose of a phone.

I am so confused... I have CID HTC_622 which means x.xx.708.xx right? But the software version on mine now is 2.17.401.2! And besides my phone is not branded, it works on any.network!

So why I have to keep eating ice cream? I mean it's winter and I want some jellybeans yo!

Step 5: Flash the firmware!

Now you have booted your phone, stay on homescreen and use the following command in CMD.exe: adb reboot oem-78

Now your phone is rebooting and a black screen with silver HTC logo appears.

Remember you have firmware.zip copied to your C:\ drive!!!

Use the following command now: fastboot flash zip C:\firmware.zip
The first time you will see that this command will fail, just repeat the command and this time it will succeed!

Now you see in CMD.exe that the firmware.zip is successfully pushed! The black HTC screen stays with a full green bar under it.
Now use the command: adb reboot-bootloader
Stay in the bootloader for now.

Step 6: Download HTC One X All In One Toolkit

Download it from this thread (credits go to hasoon2000): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1604439

Step 7: Unlock your device again!

Now you are in the HBOOT mode, you can unlock your device again. I have used the tool you just downloaded.

If you have unlocked your device before you still have your unlock.bin in your inbox from HTCDev.com. Download this again and put it in the folder 'data' in the folder of the All In One Toolkit.

Stay in fastboot with your phone connected to the PC or laptop and open the All In One Toolkit. Choose '5. Unlock Bootloader'.

Now you get a black screen with 2 options: Lock Device and Unlock Device. Choose with your volume button 'Unlock Device' and confirm with the power button. Now you are unlocked again!

Step 8: Flash Recovery

Now you are unlocked again, stay in fastboot mode and use the All In One Tool.
Choose: CWM 5.8.4.0. Now you have installed successfully CWM recovery.

Step 9: Flash boot.img and install the ROM

Flash the boot.img of the JellyBean Sense ROM. When done, go in recovery and flash the ROM.zip.

NOW YOU ARE DONE, AND CAN SUCCESSFULLY BOOT YOUR NEW ROM! A FRESH HTC ONE X EXPERIENCE

I've already asked in another thread but I think this one is more up to date.

I'm still on stock ICS and haven't unlocked the phone yet.
Do I have to start from step 5 and then unlock the phone (for the first time)?

Yes, cid HTC__622 = x.xx.708.xx - Hong Kong region. The software version you are seeing as 2.17.401 is the version of the custom rom you are using. To see your real main version you need to enter command fastboot getvar version-main. You can only update to JB with an updated hboot. You will require 1.31 or 1.33 and this is currently not available for your cid.

Yes, start at step 5

You can use method 2, but not everything is working. The main bug is that there's no sound. You can restore a nandroid backup, no problem just remember to flash the boot.img from the backup as well..
