Update to 1.18.410.1 - HTC Desire X

Hey,
the official update (vers. 1.18.410.1) failed with my rooted HDX because the SD-card can't be mounted.
Whats the solution for that, is it possible to update it with CWM?
Thanks!

Hi, I got it working by flashing back to stock kernel which you can find on the last page of this treath: [REQUIRED]*Desire X Stock recovery.IMG. I also deleted the Superuser app but don't know if it was necessary.
Once update I flashed everything back as it was with CWM and Superuser. Hope it works for you

hey
thanks for answering so fast!
I gave it a try and flashed the original recovery but update still failed.
How can I delete the superuser-app? I can't delete or uninstall it.

Use a root file manager to delete the SuperUser app, and if you want to unroot then delete the su bunaru from system/bin.

Well, I didn't get it. No idea why updating failed.
Seems that I have to wait for a Custom-Rom.
Thanks for answering!

Help update
Hi there.
I root the phone Desire X - branded firmware from T-Mobile PL.
/ v. 1.14.118.1 / showed me that it is a v. 1.18.118.1 update, downloaded but can not install. Shows verification error.
I did flash the firmware to the version v. 1.14.401.1 in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941250
[DEVS ONLY] Stock, rooted, deodexed ROMs.
Now the phone does not show at all that is update to version 1.18.401.1.
How do I install this update?

I had the same problem. Solution? Flash the stock recovery (for me this one worked: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35031493&postcount=25), and recheck for update in [Ustawienia->Informacje->Aktualizacje oprogramowania]. After installing stock recovery it updated fine (don't be scared when it reboots way too many times ). Then I reflashed CWM, rooted it again and it's business as usual.

I did as you wrote - but I do not detect updates.
And this from T-Mobile does not install.
Maybe someone loads the update 1.18.401.1?

Hi guys,
Did You notice any changes in your phones after installing this update? Just asking because I didn't

Me either, except maybe a little faster, a lot of other people that upgraded ota instead of flashing the 1.18 RUU have had wifi problems. If you do update, use the 1.18 ruu, if your phone is european :fingers-crossed:

if you are having wifi problem after updating with RUU, downgrade to 1.14 and then try software update from the device itself. dont use RUU
i m not responsible if you download the wrong RUU and brick your device. this is just info

I did OTA update, my phone is not rooted or branded. Everything works fine so far

SK17i: upgrade to 4.0.2.A.0.58 before or after rooting?

Hi,
I'm currently running 4.0.A.2.335 on my Mini Pro,
I've been getting the message to update to .58 for a couple months now, but was waiting to update because I wasn't sure if I was still going to be able to root.
So simple question: update before root or after?
Grtz!
Its not important, important not to use internal wi-fi updater when bootloader unlocked. in any case you must get root after every update, because all data will be removed

You cant update your phone to .58 if your phone currently rooted. You need to unroot first then update then reroot back.
So the answer is update first, then root

For my own information: do you have an AZERTY SK17i, and if so, would you please do me a favour and post your /system/build.prop (after rooting of course, can't access it otherwise) here or in my thread?

Nothing has been changed yet (phone is not rooted and hasn't been flashed yet). Stock can also mean, 'running SE firmware' as opposed to a custom ROM, regardless how the SE firmware was installed.

[Q] Help with rooting my HTC DX (going mad)

I have been trying for about a month now to root my HTC DX and have been successful in unlocking bootloader and installing a custom recovery (CWM) but when it comes to installing Superuser zip through CWM and rebooting the superuser app is present but when I verify with root checker it says 'Sorry! This device does not have proper root access.' I've read threads on the forums with people having the same problems and resolving them but it doesn't work for me . Can anyone help me please? It's driving me mad lol.
Try using TWRP if your device is not rooted before rebooting your phone from TWRP it will give you a msg "phone not rooted install superuser" just swipe to install and it might work...

If the @GtrCraft 's file doesn't work, just flash a custom ROM with root included (i.e. this ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2330229)... and don't forget to make a nandroid backup before you flash anything.

Yeah ni Brick happens maybe,
AFAIK bootloader upgraded in 5.0.2 big update, so cant tell what happens, and if u used custom ROMs, then u cant live with Stock ROM anymore. Im sure you will restore that backup after trying Stock rom, IMHO wait for twrp backup of FINAL OTA and try that, not make any drastic steps now bcoz the device is year older so we have no Warranty now.. ...

Hey thanks bro, but I restored to 4.4.4 yesterday, got the OTA.... And guess what!!!!
I am running official 5.1 on my phone now... No brick has occurred, everything is smooth.
I have never taken such a serious and risky step before in my life! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
But I can guarantee you and other fellow XDA members
Don't be afraid to install 5.1 OTA after restoring to stock 4.4.4 from 5.0.2
It actually works, since it Motorola has made it official.
Two things to note though....
The bootloader has been updated
The partition tables have been updated
The recovery is no longer the Kitkat one (as seen in 5.0.2 soaks)
Oh and BTW, if someone wants to get back to 4.4.4 for some reason, then he CAN, by flashing all the firmware files of 4.4.4 EXCEPT the bootloader and the partition. He will also get the OTA and install it fine. Just tried it tomorrow.
Peace!

Here are two things to do prior to installing
Do a backup of the previous ROM
Wipe Everything
Now install, and as soon as it completes setup, DO A FACTORY RESET (it gave bootloops, so I am requesting).
And another interesting thing, if you change the language to English US, the new Boot animation appears
I will definitely upload by tomorrow...

[Q] How do I downgrade from 5.1 to 5.02, Dell 7840

Hi
I current have 5.1 rooted 7840 and wanted to know if I can go back to 5.02. After 5.1 I'm having issues with audio, crackling sound while playing games and typing touch keyboard; so, I want to go back to 5.02 if possible. I've tried to restore to kitkat nandroid backup that I've download from the fourm but it gives me "Error while flashing boot image!" I'm guessing I cannot go back to kitkat while I'm on lollipop. If someone can show me how to go back to 5.02 or even kitkat (both had no audio issue) I'd appreciate it.
Thank you

If the crackling sound is your only concern, try to disable the MaxxAudio app and reboot. At least it works for me.

i completely wiped and re-installed 5.0.1 on my tab a few days ago. Worked perfectly with the procedure described in the link. Just be sure that fastboot AND adb-drivers are installed beforehand.
From what I gathered there is no system image file...so how does it downgrade based on a 25 meg file? Do I need to flash the other zips as well or just the one listed?

you're right, but xBIGREDDx provided a dump of system.img some time ago, which i'm really glad for. If you stick to this thread you should have no problems reverting back to 5.0.1. But it's really not the easiest way when you're used to other vendors where you just need to flash something on your custom recovery of choice.
Ive messed up 5.1 system so i needed to flash clean rom and i did as in post above. Now im having Android 5.0.2 and i cannot update to Android 5.1....OTA file gives me Error 0.
Any solution? Thanks

Should I update?

Hi guys, first I want to apology if it has already been asked.
I'm running Android 6.0 (32.1.A.1.185) on my E5823. My phone is rooted and have Xposed installed (Hi Niantic)
I can't get rid of the notification for 32.2.A.0.224.
Should I update?
Will I loose root and Xposed? If so, how can I get rid of this annoying update notification?
Thanks a lot
You won't be able to update the official way without getting rid of the mods/root.

Uninstall Xposed framework and then you'll need to flash stock kernel using fastboot which would also remove whatever custom recovery and root you have.

Thanks. I'll do it for 7.0 I think
Hey, I was asking myself: if I install systemless root (Magisk), will I be able to OTA? (if Magisk is compatible with my phone, which I'm not totally sure)
Thanks

I wouldn't recommend it. Even if you do succeed in updating you could end up with a bricked device or just mess up your firmware and would have to do redo everything. Best is to bring it back to complete stock and then do the update.

Okay, thanks for the reply
I don't really see the problem. Just flash the latest firmware using Flashtool and then root again by using the rootkernel mod in this forum. Xposed and such aren't a problem either.
Hi
Is it possible to use Flashtool with twrp/root/xposed? Btw I think my bootloader is still unlocked.
And what should I use to root? Something like this or this?

If your bootloader is unlocked you should be able to follow both tutorials just fine.
In short:
Flash new firmware using Flashtool
Patch kernel of new firmware and flash it
Flash SuperSU and Xposed using TWRP
Enjoy life
If you need step-for-step help, just send me a PM with your instant messasing contact details. I'll help where needed.
Hi, thanks for the reply, I'll do that when I'll have more free time.
Instead of SuperSU, can I flash Magisk?
Bump
Thanks

You'll first need to downgrade to an older firmware in order to backup the TA partition. This thread describes everything very detailed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/general/how-to-backup-restore-ta-partition-root-t3479532

In my case MM 6.0.1 (.224 or .253) solved the battery drain issue during night/sleep, so i would highly recommend it. There is also a discussion regarding this.
as suggested by others, i would not directly OTA upgrade with modded kernel, Supersu and Xposed installed. I would do it with flashtool.
If you want to stick with the current version, simply disable/hide/remove the Software update app (or "hide all notifications from this app".)
I froze it a while ago with Rom Toolbox, but thanks

sorry, didn't see it's 1 month old discussion
Hi, I'm still on 32.1.A.1.185
Flashtool (Emma) only allow me to install 32.0.A.6.200 (there is Customized MY and NOBA, don't know the difference) and 32.1.A.1.163 (only Customized_NOBA)
Why can't I update to a more recent firmware?
Thanks
