So right off the bat I have very little knowledge of rooting and flashing roms. I did however successfully unlock, root and flash CM10 onto my AT&T HOX a few months ago. I want to try out the ViperX rom but after reading the install instructions I noticed that I needed to have HBOOT 1.31 or higher and I have 1.14. The only way to get the higher HBOOT is to have a compatible CID # from what I can tell mine isnt on the list included in the link that they posted. Is it really required? What would be my options if I wanted to change to the ViperX Rom?
Thanks in advance!

first off you are posting to the HTC One forum not the HTC One X. You are aware that flashing roms not made for your device will brick your device, right? If you have a HTC One X find out if it is the AT&T version and make your way over the the right forum. If it is the HTC One Turge confirmed on facebook that he will be making a viper rom for the HTC One. Just wait

Hi,
I just bought an HTC Hero off eBay today (still waiting for it) and it comes from T-Mobile but it's unlocked. However, I'm looking at debranding the phone and I want to install the original HTC ROM's instead of T-Mobile's.
I've been reading these forums and there are original HTC ROM's, original HTC but rooted ROM's, custom ROM's and etc... I'm not interested in the custom ones at the moment, I just want to get the original stuff for now, but without the T-Mobile branding. Also, this way, I can always be updated with the latest changes from HTC.
As far as I understand this, I'll have to root it at least once to install a new ROM right? And after that, maybe I should install the generic but rooted HTC ROM so that in the future I have the phone rooted already and everything's easier, correct? Is this the recommend approach or should I install the latest original and untouched HTC ROM?
For now I don't see many benefits from rooting the phone, and I think I just want to make things easier by using the original HTC ROM so that in the future I can use HTC own utilities (RUU I believe) to update the phone. In other others, I'm waiting eagerly for HTC update with Android 2.0 and I just want be able to install it directly from HTC when it comes out. I'll deal with rooting and custom firmwares later if I really see the need.
So, what's the best procedure to install the latest generic HTC ROM?

I'm not sure you posted in the right thread...
Can anyone give me some hints?
Hi everyone.
I have searched both the forums and Google trying to find a method on how to revert the phone back to a stock HTC ROM. Before anyone thinks that I'm crazy, the reason I want to do this is because I'm selling the phone and not everyone might love the idea that it has been "tampered" with.
I've downloaded the latest RUU found in these forums (WWE version), but as this is an exe file I'm not sure how to go about installing it as the custom ROMs I've used have been in a .zip format. Any advice?
You are meant to install it using HTC Sync, and running the RUU on your PC. Unfortunately there is no ZIP currently available, which is a shame because I am in your situation, and the RUU doesn't work for me!

No really in topic but I can ask you where you find the latest RUU (2.1) for GSM Hero? Thanks!
Edit: Nevermind, the link is in jarscrew post!
Is it imperative to make a goldcard? Can I mess up if I don't or will it simply not work without?
Hello all,
I am new to Rooting, Unlocking bootloaders n all that.
My question is simple. Hope somebody can help me out.
Is it enough to Unlock the bootloader on my HTC Thunderbolt to install a new ROM ?(Now that HTC has released bootloader unlocking from HTCDev.com for the Thunderbolt)
I want to install HTC Sense 3.5 on the phone without rooting the phone.
Is this possible ?
If so, can someone provide me a link to downloading the HTC Sense 3.5 ROM. I tries searching and I am not quite sure how to get the correct ROM which will work well. Also, I would like to have the HTC Sense 3.5 as clean as possible.
Is there any specific ROM that would give me a very clean experience ?
Can xda members also help me out on Ste-by-Step instructions to installing the new Sense 3.5 ROM to my phone ?
Any help is much appreciated !
Thanks in advance !
No you need root in order to flash a custom rom, everything you need to do so is in the stickies in the development stickies.
Well, you don't need root to flash a custom ROM, but most likely the custom ROM will have root regardless. To flash, you just need a custom recovery installed.

So, I have been reasonably experienced in the Android world with terms to Nexus devices and Samsung but HTC still confounds me. I have an S-Off Rezound, it is on GB Firmware and everytime I flash a ROM I have to flash a fix for old firmware or else is random reboots. I have searched and searched on different occasions for the answer to this but I have yet to find a straight answer. Feel free to flame me, be rude, etc., but can someone please point me in the right direction. My Fiancee loves her Rez, has been running sense 4.1 since we got it (it was s-off when we got it, a happy surprise from the seller we bought it from on eBay.) But she is weary of the extra steps she needs to take to update a ROM. Can anyone point us in the right direction?

RUU http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
1st flash RUU(it will give you new firmware permanently)
2nd flash any rom with new firmware
Or ....
Download this
http://old.androidfilehost.com/main/-Support_Files-/SuperChilPil/[ICS][2.27][STOCK][8-12]PH98IMG.zip
but don't run it as a PH98IMG just yet, replace the hboot in it from this
http://old.androidfilehost.com/main/-Support_Files-/SuperChilPil/[ICS][2.25][STOCK][5-7]PH98IMG.zip
You will be soft-bricked until you flash a new rom/re-flash your current one.
Thanks guys, appreciate the info. She is going to run the RUU today and probably just go back to newts one xxx for global. She was getting tired fo forgetting to flash the "fix" everytime she updated.
You don't need to RUU if you're s-off, you can flash just the firmware, keep in mind you'll need to reverse the old firmware patch, that's available in the link below too..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614366
Global would be - [ICS][2.27][STOCK][8-12]PH98IMG.zip, follow the directions in the post to install it.
Back up your rom just to be safe but you should be ok just flashing the combo you want along with the "new" firmware patch.
EDIT - Just realized Snuzzo posted the same thing, it's linked from the XDA post above which has directions in it.
Hi All,
Been an Android guy since the G1, but that was also the last time I had anything HTC. Picked up a One yesterday and I'm so happy to be back.
Did a bunch of reading before getting the phone. I wanted to make sure I didn't do anything irreversible. Before I received the phone, I'd read that you couldn't get S-Off with 1.27.531.11, as they'd patched the HBOOT (even though it's still 1.44.) So once I got the phone and confirmed it was on 1.27.531.11, I performed my first step:
1. Downgraded from 1.27.531.11 to 1.27.531.8.
Next:
2. Unlocked using htcdev
3. Flashed TWRP as recovery
4. Installed Android Revolution HD 4.0 Google Edition
All went smoothly! Because I had no issues with this, I decided it was worth it to push on and get S-Off and SuperCID. I read Vomer's guide many times over, and was about to get rolling with revone, when I found another guide ([GUIDE] PRE-S-OFF - IMPORTANT INFO - Read Before Going To S-OFF Threads!) which contained the following:
You are on or flash a STOCK Sense 5, Android 4.1 ROM! (NOTE: 4.2 Software may be OK however for your best chances use the oldest you possibly can!!
But as a result of #4, I'm now on a GPE 4.3 Rom. This gave me pause.
So, two (and a half!) questions really:
1. Should I flash back to a 4.1 or 4.2 rom prior to trying to get S-Off through revone? If so, what rom should I use? My best guess, if this is necessary is Team Nocturnal's Stock Rooted 1.27.531.8
2. Is there anything else flashing Android Revolution HD 4.0 might have done that would cause problems when trying to use revone to get S-Off? I still have Hboot 1.44, and I don't *think* flashing that rom would have somehow made this the patched version present in 1.27.531.11, but I just want to be sure of what I'm doing. (That question sounds so noobish! But better safe than sorry, I'm thinking.)
Thanks in advance, guys. Really didn't have a great community around my last phone, and I'm psyched to be back amongst a big group of tinkerers.
And from that same guide:
Are not using a GE ROM, 4.3 Rom or on stock 4.3 software
So it definitely seems like I should flash something older first. Just want to confirm what would be best (and make sure there's nothing else I need to do as well prior to using revone.)
All set. S-Off and SuperCID achieved.
For anyone who finds this thread down the road:
As long as you've downgraded to 1.27.531.8, just make sure you're on a 4.2.2 or earlier rom. Multiple reports of revone not working with 4.3 roms. You're on an older rom after doing the downgrade, so if you don't flash anything after that, you're ready to use revone.
Thank you for the info! I had wondered the same thing!
