Still doesn't justify posting the same thing 5 times
******SOLVED******** I got my question answered by @KidJoe Thanks to you sir... Once the bootloader is unlocked it cant get locked again untill or unless we perform the "Oem Lock" Process ... So in any way the bootloader cant get locked again what so ever... And please dont flash the rom of any other carrier rather than your own carrier its a risk.. I Have a rogers X and i will flash the rogers 4.4.4 firmware... Flashing any other carrier's rom is risky even if you are bootloader unlocked... That pretty much solves my question that i asked earlier... and yes i was going to flash the Tmo firmware on my X but i heard that it is risk to do so that's why i stopped and im letting everyone know what the deal is in details.. That pretty much sums it all up...

First of all, you will need to unlock your bootloader using the procedure at HTCDEV.com. This is a fully documented procedure by HTC and if you are unable to read, learn and use this procedure, then you should reconsider trying to mod your phone.
The best way to get beyond the confusion is to read, study and learn.

Hi all, This is my first post so please be gentle!!
I have searched the forums but dont really know too much about what I need so please forgive me if im going over old ground.
Basically Im sick of waiting for the OTA 4.2.2 update of my HTC One from 3UK.:crying: As everyone else is getting their update 3UK have changed their tune numerous times about weather the update has been pulled, Is in testing, Is being rolled out or now low and behold its back in testing again. They never give a straight answer and after tweeting them someone else has reccomended changing my CID? to allow me to ge the update.
I have been reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317536 and I was wondering if this is indeed what I need to do. If I follow the instructions in this thread I understand it changes the CID on my phone, but how do I then go about getting the 4.2.2 update?
Where would I get it from and would that affect any future OTA updates. I dont want to root the phone as Im quite happy with Sense 5 I just want to be able to get the 4.2.2 update without having to wait for three to push it.
So basically can I use the procedure in the link above to change my CID. And after doing this where do I then get the update from. Do I then just check for updates??
Thanks in advance for any replies!

Chris.:laugh:

Use Revone to s-off and unlock, change CID from H3G__001 to HTC__001, flash the unbranded RUU, updates will appear when available on your device.
Use search for all of the above, unless someone else wants to give you the links..

Thanks so much. Thats pretty much what I needed. So as I know that 4.2.2 is available on my HTC one, once I have done all of the above, I check for updates and it should download?
Don't expect any help on here mate.
I'm in the same position as you.
The reason why Three are taking long is because they're loading it with their logos and bloatware.
Let me know how you get on.
Will let you try it first, will then try it on mine

My mum's a GP, if she ignored all the people who came in asking her the same questions every day, she'd be out of a job and would have some pretty sick patients
OP I appreciate you're new but you could have found the answer to your question yourself without posting this. You won't get any carrier updates from 3 until 3 release them, even if you have superbloodyunicornCID, isn't that obvious? All superCID does is allow you to bypass regional ROM restrictions. The only way you're going to get 4.2.2 before three release it is by unlocking your bootloader and flashing a stock 4.2.2 ROM. All you'll probably do messing about with your CID is brick your phone, and then you'll have to spam the forums more.

Hi. You will have to change your CID and whilst doing anything of this nature carries a risk, it's a very low one.
I too was stock brand with 3. Follow one of the many video guides to use revone and get s-off as suggested above. Then download the stock wwe (world wide English) RUU and follow the on-screen instructions. The one I used was a standard 1.28 version. Again, use one of the great guides on here to download adb and change your CID to htc__001. Bear in mind there are 2 underscores there. You're phone will then see a small update and then again will recognise the 4.2.2 update.
That's if you want everything official. Mike1986 has a great guide on all this as does vomer in the android development thread.
If you want to run a Rom using 4.2.2 then it's just as simple, I personally was using mike1986's android revolution.
It all sounds daunting but take your time and follow the guides and you will be fine. It's very difficult to brick these phones.
Always make a nandroid backup before doing anything just in case.

Sony has said that installing bootloader in the Xperia Z1 will disable the camera, but I've read that if you recover the TA, the camera works again. Is this true? If so, could I install different kernel ROMs (like CM) with a working camera?
I'm sorry if the question sounds dumb, I'm new to Android.

Firstly, you don't "install" the bootloader, every phone has one, you just unlock it to get access to it.
Secondly, you can restore the TA but that RELOCKS the bootloader so you cant use custom kernels.
Trust me, when this issue is sorted it will be big news so you will get to know it.
Currently this is the situation
locked bootloader = stock kernels = working camera
Unlocked bootloader = stock or custom kernels = NO CAMERA
No question is dumb if you don't know the answer, but please get used to searching before asking, that way you definitely wont ask any dumb questions
Thanks!
But the only ROM with the stock kernel is HONAM1Z, and I have no idea what features it has....
The other stock kernel ROMs are just updated firmware with root, but there are 2 that are basically the same. Which one should I use?
Do you need bootloader for mods? (like PureXAudio)
You choose any one you want. No one on here will tell you want you want, its up to you to try, test and decide for yourself.
As for other mods, no you don't need bootloader unlocked. That is only for custom kernels.
If you read the OP of each mod it will tell you the requirements and if it does not say "Requires an unlocked bootloader" then its fine to use on a stock kernel.
You will just have to root, install recovery and flash them.
Do ROMs need to be of the exact model number?
For example, you have a ROM for the C6903, but I have the C6906. Can I use the ROM?
Or if mine is build number 14.1.G.1.518, and yours is 14.1.G.2.257, can I still use the ROM?
And does the phone get unrooted when updated OTA? And how do you know which build number is newer?
I would first suggest you read the tutorials in the general section and the dev section.
Most, if not all, your questions will be answered there and I will only be cutting and pasting information from there.
As something to think about, when I first joined xda I spent a LOT of time reading guides and tutorials before doing anything to my phone.
I am not saying I wont answer your questions, but the answers are out there for you already and taking things steady will give you the best chance of learning and not doing something daft to your phone and bricking it.

No need to read ALL the threads, but the opening pages contain important information. If after reading those you still have questions you can ask them in those threads and then people can help you there.
Best of luck, and I am available via PM if you need me
Thanks for the threads! They were pretty useful
Although I still have questions about ROMs. If your room is for C6903, and I have 6906, can I still use it? I would guess that you can, as the only thing that change is the baseband.
Also, what ROM do you recommend? Yours (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504638), this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440408) or generic 534 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505796)?
Do you know what Honam1Z? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463675). I cant seem to find the advantages of the ROM....
Thanks again for answering my questions, mate.
And I'm sorry if you have received this same message by PM. My sent box appeared empty after I sent it, so I didnt think it reached you.
A guy sold me an ATT Moto X and he neglected to tell me it was rooted. So now I'm stuck with root that I don't really want on this phone. I tried using RSD Lite and the All in One Tool that was posted on here but nothing would work with my computer. So, now im just looking for a stock rom I could flash but I can't seem to find any on here for ATT. Any recomendations to fix this? Lastly, would flashing the 4.4 leak that was posted in the General section work? any help is appreciated.

As long as you are on 4.2.2 you should be able to rsd lite back to the most latest 4.2.2 firmware.
Either way, you can flash the 4.4 leak with fast boot

you probably are doing something wrong with flashing the stock FW. check the threads that talk about it and you should be fine. If you are running mac then there is a thread for that. if not then there is a thread for that as well. post in those threads with questions and you will get answers. i wouldn't take th 4.4 leak because you don't seem like you want to toy with your phone. It's possible that those people that took that leak might have to do a little or perhaps a lot of things to eventually take the real OTA. This has happened with other phones. You don't seem like you want to do that much tweaking so just go to those threads and ask questions there and explain what exactly you are doing and the errors you are getting.

yeah i think ill give that a go again I guess. I used to be into rooting back when I had an S4 but it eventually just became to much of an issue everytime i wanted to install a new rom so I like to stick with stock. Thanks both of you I'll try again once Im home in a few minutes
Hi everyone.. Im back on Xda after a long time.. So i bought a 2013 Moto X Att XT1058 with an unlocked BL and i got so lucky! It already had an unlocked bootloader! So voila.. Now my question is that i am on Stock Jelly beans which is 4.2.2 and i haven't rooted yet so the thing is that i love the camera patch on 4.4.2 that motorola did! and i also want to flash a custom rom. So i was thinking to take the 4.4.2 OTA and then start the flashing game. Now i want 4.4.2 just for the camera patch and im not sure that if i flash a custom rom then the camera would look good . Now these are my questions please answer them in detail.
Question 1: Can i safely take the 4.4.2 OTA and still have an unlocked bootloader? my unlocked bootloader wont get in any kind of vulnerability? please clear this issue for me im really afraid of getting locked! like its a blessing on the att moto x that the bootloader is unlocked so i cant loose the BL unlock anyhow.
Question 2: If i install a custom rom on the Jb rom will i able to get the decent camera like in 4.4.2 from motorola? or will i have to take the Motorola ota to get the fancy camera? So is it necessary for me to take the OTA in order to get the fancy camera? or a custom rom will provide me the fancy camera in the 44.2? Notice: i matched the camera of a 4.2.2 moto x with a 4.4.2 moto x. And 4.4.2 killed the 4.2.2 Camera. So that's why i want the Camera like in 4.4.2. Please tell me what should i do.
I want these questions to be answered urgently so i can start my work i really need to do it fast.. Anyone's help will be really really appreciated!! Please help.

Im here to throw a wrench in your whole plan. I had the Moto X and 4.2.2/4.4.4 and everything in between. There is no huge difference in the camera, regardless of what you read. Trust me because I have used the camera on all those ROMs.
Now if you're bootloader is unlocked you can flash which ever ROMs, or software updates that you want. as long as you know how to you fastboot and such lol, stop worrying so much. and to ensure your Moto x was legitimately unlocked. You need to put your phone in FASTBOOT MODE CLICK HERE[/] and if your device days unlocked then whoever you bought it from is telling the truth and go flash in peace

thank you so much for your reply sir. Now things are getting clear for me. I really appreciate your assistance!! and I already checked the boot loader it says "Device is unlocked: Status Code 3.. So i think my phone is properly unlocked... now that you cleared things for me i guess i am just gonna flash a recovery and start flashing other roms rather than getting the OTA of 4.4.2. And I've done rooting and unlocking since i was 13 y/o now i am 17 ... So yeah i know how to adb,flash etc lol Thanks again man :highfive:
