Curious if this "Recovery and SuperSU" method works with the Rogers Canada One X?

I realize that there is a seperate forum for the North American variant, however the Rogers is unlockab,e via HTCdev unlike the ATT.

Thanks.

Edit: I went ahead and tried this (with TWRP) and can confirm it indeed works. This may not be news to some, however I was unable to easily find reference.
[HTC One X] Baldilocks:
I take it there is no root for the latest ICS (4.0.4) build?

I'm only asking because my buddy just got his from Expansys and was wondering if I could come over and root it for him. But, after looking through all the threads I don't see anything.

Sure not as easy to root as my GS3. :)
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
I've unlocked my bootloader at HTCDev and I've flashed a custom recovery etc... I was following Cursed4Eva's Youtube tutorial, I'm waiting for the ARHD 9.1 ROM to download onto my pc at work (naff internet here!!!)

I have noticed that I have no radio, I've no signal at all. Is it just bad coverage or is my radio now out? It won't come back.
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
Follow this guide and it will work
[HTC One X] beaups:
No, it won't.

System updates

I guess I should post this here…

I am new to Android and I hope somebody helps me:

I just rooted my HTC OneX 3 days ago. Now I have a system update downloaded on my phone and I don't know - can I install system updates after device was rooted? I anyway tried to install it, but it gave me an error message when booted. (I also wiped the device a day after I rooted it. Did this change something?)

In short: Can you install system updates on HTC ONE X after rooting it?
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
Correct
[HTC One X] tiho5:
Please, somebody answer this. Thanks
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
Yes, but only if you reflash the stock recovery.
[HTC One X] tiho5:
I would, but can I reflash back the recovery that I have now after that. I'm sorry I am new to Android.
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
Yes
[HTC One X] tiho5:
Thank you! I hope you answer 2 more questionя:

1 Do I have to reinstall SU after this?

2 Where do I find stock recovery?
[HTC One X] vivek_bhoj:
1 yes

but if you use rootkeeper and temporary unroot then no need to flash su again

2 if you made a backup of your ROM before flashing custom ROM then restore that backup and flash stock recovery otherwise find RUU for your One X variant and flash it
[HTC One X] tiho5:
Thank you for helping! I will do this. I never found instruction to backup my original rom and I just rooted it. I see it was not the right thing to do. Do you know where is it possible to find a good source for the RUU for my device?
[HTC One X] matt95:

Sadly no, you can only root if you unlock the bootloader.

[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
Copy file to the folder with your adb and fastboot files (hopefully you have those) connect phone to pc and then run the following commands: (PS! this procedure is due to not having s-off and not because of it being HTC ;))

adb reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img

fastboot erase cache

Have you unlocked your bootloader via HTCDev?
[HTC One X] brockyneo:
as far as i know yes ive just done it :o
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
With the phone in bootloader mode, does it show "Unlocked" at the top of the screen?
[HTC One X] brockyneo:
yeh just checked now i might have messed up the flashboot file ill just try again
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
Alternatively try this
[HTC One X] brockyneo:
thanksso i just run program and drop the recovery img in the data folder and click flash recovery???
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
I haven't used it personally, but yes I believe it is that straight forward.
[HTC One X] brockyneo:
still a no go it reboots the device but still no recovery or root dont undertand where im going wrong :silly:
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
Connect device to pc and from adb folder enter adb devices. Do you get the devices serial number returned?
[HTC One X] brockyneo:
im sorry to sound stupid where is the adb folder
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
Do you have sdktools downloaded? Download the attached file and extract to your desktop. Then run your cmd prompt and navigate to this folder and then enter adb devices command
[HTC One X] brockyneo:
ya i have sdktools installed btw thanks for your help
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
No problem ;), did you run the cmd adb devices via cmd prompt? Is the serial number of your phone returned?
[HTC One X] brockyneo:
what is the command prompt for it
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
Click Start button on pc, then in search box type command and then select command prompt. In command prompt change directory so that it is referring to the folder where your sdk tools are eg c:\Desktop\sdktools and then enter the command: adb devices
[HTC One X] brockyneo:
ok what connection type do i have phone on
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
Just leave it in normal charge mode. Also ensure that you have USB debugging on (Settings/Developer options)
[HTC One X] brockyneo:
its just saying the file name is inccorect but i didnt have usb debugging on so could that poss be the problem all along, is it worth trying the toolkit root way again

Give it a try

As always U DO AWESOME AND AMAZING JOBS, for the community. LONG LIFE BRO. Keep it up.:)
[HTC One X] paulobrien:
You can't do this without root IIRC.

The command would be 'dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/stock.boot.img'

I will do, they're aware of how important it is (i've pointed this out) so hopefully we can have it fixed soon! :)

Method 2 doesn't work, it says that in the post. Use method 1.

Untested on that release, I imagine it will tho.

I unlocked my bootloader with htcdev and then i installed the official ClockworkMod release and then flashed the latest SuperSU zip file but when i go in the bootloader it says: ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL?? Does this mean that my phone is still not S-OFF?
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
This method only unlocks the bootloader and roots your device, it does not make your device s-off. There is currently no hack to make any One X s-off, but that doesn't prevent you from flashing custom roms and kernels.
[HTC One X] brentow:
Thank you I figured that out already :D. I asked because my old HTC Desire and Sensation were all S-Off and I thought that the One X is also S-Off capable, but still I got what I wanted, a custom ROM and kernel.

My HOX's hboot is v1.12 i believe so can I install CM10?

i hope i can cos i need to find some YT vids to help explain the process.
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
Yes you can install CM10 on hboot 1.12. You'll find the CM10 roms on this forum. Installation instructions should be in the first post of the rom threads.
[HTC One X] thegh0sts:
awesome! so i....

1) unlock the bootloader

2) dump the super su into the phone storage

3) flash CWM recovery & install super su reboot

4) install super su to root phone

5) dump CM10 rom into phone storage reboot into CWM

6) install CM10

????

so i use titanium back up to back up data while rom manager for flashing roms?
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
If you are locked and unrooted then yes, unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, takek a backup of your orignal rom and install supersu. Wipe device and then flash rom boot.img via fastboot, erase cache in fastboot, then boot to recovery and flash the rom. I don't suggest restoring data from a Titanium backup from a stock rom to a CM10 rom. You can restore things like user apps, but not system apps and system settings etc. You flash roms via recovery, even if you use rom manager it will still boot to recovery to do the flashing.
[HTC One X] thegh0sts:
is there an option in titanum backup to just restore apps?
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
Just select those that are coloured White/Silver strikethrough. Do not restore any red coloured apps. Green should be settings and am not sure if they will work
[HTC One X] thegh0sts:
sounds good!
[HTC One X] thekid1982:
please help me after run install-insecure-windows.bat mt htc one x start and restart continuous, please help
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
Just use the first option of recovery and SuperSU. Boot back to bootloader and install CWM Recovery and then flash SuperSU via recovery.

literally got home with mine a few mins ago (taipei), nobody had them outside of the official HTC stores (seems obvious in hindsight), all the carrier stores were only given a few each (like 5 or so).

But yeah, i strolled into a HTC store, and they had plenty, complete with the beats audio headphones.

But yeah, i'm looking forward to hacking it.

I'd love to try winmo on this phone (i know it's not popular, but I do like windows ecosystem in general).

Since I've never used Android before, I'm looking forward to the learning curve, and playing with a few Roms.

Otherwise, not much to add, but keep up the good work.

[HTC One X] nobnut:
Put that zip file on your sd card and then turn the device off.

Then boot into bootloader and select 'recovery' by using the volume keys, then press the power button. The device will reboot into Clockwork Mod Recovery.

Using the volume keys again to navigate and the power button to select, select 'install zip from sd card'.

Then 'select zip'.

Then navigate to the zip you copied across earlier. Use the power button to select and then select 'yes' when you are prompted.

After it has flashed, select 'go back' and then reboot the device using the menu.

Now I may be completely retarded, but I downloaded android SDK and whenever I try to open adb.exe, it just closes again. Am I missing something? No past experience with this stuff, so bear with me
[HTC One X] mortenmoulder:
When you open adb.exe, does it open a black box with some text and then closes again?

If that's the problem, then press WindowsKey+R and type CMD. When you have a black box open, then do the following commands:

cd C:\android

Let's assume your folder with the file adb.exe is located in a folder on your root C:\ then do "cd C:\android" to get into that folder.

When you're successfully inside that folder, do:

adb.exe

If it writes a lot of stuff like this: http://puu.sh/o4ta then you're opening the adb.exe file wrong.

In fact.. I doubt you even have to open it? O_o
