[HTC One X] eggshaped:
I'm no expert but I had the same problem. It depends where you've put your fastboot files and the file your're flashing. At first I had the recovery.img on my desktop and fastboot couldn't find it. So I put it straight into the c drive, not in any directory, then use cd.. cd.. to get out of any directories you might be in and try the command again.

If you've already cd.. 'd as far back as you can go then there's no need to type it again as part of the fastboot command. E.g. if you're flashing the boot image all you need to type in the command prompt is "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without the quotations.

If your fastboot files and flashing files are in the same directory and you're definitely pointing to the correct directory from your command prompt screen, make sure you open the command prompt as an administrator (right click, open as administrator).

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will come along soon to help :)

hi guys, can anyone help me on this...when i signing in to htcdev site,it show im had logged in and checked boxes for agree term and condition but it still ask me to sign in again and again....before i can carry on with the steps..
[HTC One X] joaquin.mik:
Nice work, easy to follow guide but please add some warning that unlocking your bootloader will also wipe your phone!. I just lost a bunch of valuable data because of this :(

Thanks

Hi there,

Just new on the HOX. I did all the instructions to unlock my HOX and succeeded :). But after flashing a custom ROM my HOX stayed in a bootcycle.

What can be the cause?

[HTC One X] bigjohn6582:
Did you full wipe?
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
Be sure to do a full wipe and make sure you have flashed the boot.img for the rom in fastboot
[HTC One X] clarkg:
Well... you are expected to read through the thread first. If you had seen my question just 6 posts above yours, you would have known about the data wipe. You were also warned on the HTCDEV site when you started the unlock process.
[HTC One X] joaquin.mik:
You're right, and I'm not blaming you at all!, I've just went through your steps blindly and didn't noted all the warnings, so just a line warning may save some noobs like me!

Noob question. Does unlocking the boot loader allow the phone to be used on any network?
[HTC One X] tashunke:
same problem

I've done every step many times but i'm stuck since my first try :

I've all drivers, HTC SYNC, ADB, and maybe other things I downloaded..

I tried at least with 2 micro USB-USB câble.

But when I tape enter after typing get-oem-identifier etc.. I dont see anything ! No error, nothing at all.

Please help, i cant wait s-off to install new apps and roms.

PS : when typing 'adb devices' there's 8 same lines appearing and looking like :

HT075372010 disconnected

Thank you
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
Try using a different USB port. I used to get the disconnected error when using the front usb ports on my old pc yet it works fine using the rear ones
[HTC One X] tashunke:
Thank you but i already tried that!
[HTC One X] tashunke:
I don't understand why everyone success to root this phone while i'm stuck at this famous command line... "fastboot oem get_identifier_token"

Nothing.

HELP !! :crying:
[HTC One X] adamski123:
I know this may sound stupid.. but Uve unlocked ur bootloader right?
[HTC One X] tashunke:
No, i'm trying to unlock it...
[HTC One X] adamski123:
U have to unlock the bootloader before u can root it.
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
Please don't comment if you have no idea what you are talking about. Get identifier token is part of the process to unlock the bootloader.

He seems to have a driver problem. There should not be many entries in adb devices, only one. May suggest uninstalling from device manager and re installing the driver
[HTC One X] ATZ-007:
Any idea why we can't root One X (Tegra 3) without HTCdev.com or when we will be able to (raught estimation)?

Thanks
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
I would assume it's because nobody has found an exploit in the tegra architecture yet. I know Paul is working on it.

Other processors like the Qualcomm used in the HTC one xl still have the same exploits from years ago so there's are easily cracked. Patience is virtue and root without unlocking will come eventually
[HTC One X] tashunke:
I uninstalled device "my HTC" in device manager when my phone was USB connected (phone was ON, charging, normal mod). I disconnected the phone and connected it back, the driver installed itself and when typing adb devices, I had only one device, it seemed to be ok.

But when I switched my phone OFF and then in fastboot usb mod, no devices was found. (I tried to uninstall/reinstall back by the same method but nothing worked)
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
In fastboot doing adb devices will come back empty

You need to use fastboot devices
[HTC One X] tashunke:
Yes. I would. Can you explain it to me ? Thank you :)
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
Adb can send commands while the phone is on and while in recovery

Whilst in hboot/fastboot you give commands to your phone using fastboot.exe

So whilst your phone is in fastboot mode typing Adb devices will show nothing because Adb doesn't run in fastboot mode.

However by using "fastboot devices" just like you will be using fastboot get_identifier_token you should see your device listed
[HTC One X] tashunke:
I understand, but when i type 'ffastboot devices' or 'fastboot oem...' Nothing appears.
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
Once your phone is in fastboot mode unplug the USB then put it back in again.

Then try fastboot devices and see if it lists it.

Sometimes I have had to do this
[HTC One X] khoaitaychienvn:
Do you guys know after a while of plug and unplug your phone, Windows stop recognizing the device or it recognizes but doesnt show the notification. And you have to restart Windows to make it works normally. This is my experience after 3 years with Android devices.
[HTC One X] butters149:
my phone has an unlocked bootloader, and all i have to do now is to install recovery, which one is the best recovery?

Also before I do that I should put the rom I want (Renovate) onto the phone first by dragging it from my desktop?
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
Using the latest clockwork mod from the sticky is the best imo. It will be the most stable and supports charging and mounting usb

A brick is a brick is a brick is a brick

Hi everyone,

Got my One X today to replace my Sensation and followed all instructions to unlock and root.

Everything went well with htcdev, then flashed recovery, made backup of original rom and rebooted device.

No problem except I went to recovery to install custom rom and made the huge mistake to push "factory reset" instead of recovery.

Need new glasses I guess :(

Now phone won't turn off even after pushing power for 10 seconds, just reboots and goes to HTC quietly brilliant screen.

Holding power and volume - won't do anything (it turns off but starts again and return to HTC screen) - just goes back to the HTC splash screen.

Is there anything I can do? Won't load anything!!!

Did a search on forum but I guess no one is as stupid!

Thanks for the help :crying:

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------

Pushed many many times power and vol - and somehow got to recovery. So all good now!!!

Thanks :victory:

We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.

Preparing Your One X for Custom Roms (For Dummies) [Mac OS X]
[HTC One X] Vinneeh:
Hello there,

I have got myself an HTC One X, upgrading from the HTC Desire.

I'm not satisfied with my battery usage.

I've read that if you unlock your bootloader that your current rom will be removed?

I've got myself prepared, been reading 3 days and stuff.

Unlocking bootloader

flash new recovery

nandroid backup of current rom ( if still exist ??? :P )

flash new rom

Are these the steps that will give me a safe new rom?
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
Unlocking the bootloader will not remove the rom, it will wipe the data on the phone and for some it even wipes the sd card, but the rom is not affected. So yes the steps are to unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, take nandroid backup and flash new rom (not forgetting boot.img via fastboot)
[HTC One X] Vinneeh:
Thanks for your reply.

When I connect my HTC One X to my laptop, i see Internal Storage, here are my Photos/Videos/Music.

Will this be wiped?

Because if so, how do I put the recovery and rom on my storage?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

you told me about not forgetting boot.img

What is the boot.img?
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
Unlocking bootloader may wipe the internal storage (as it does for some), so it's best to backup any important files/photos/videos etc. After unlocking your bootloader you need to flash a custom recovery but this is not stored on the sd card so that won't be affected. If the sd card is wiped and the rom is lost, once you have flashed recovery you can boot to recovery and then mount the usb mass storgage and copy the rom file across again.

Included in the rom.zip file you download you will find a file named boot.img. This file needs to be flashed via fastboot before flashing the rom. So the steps are:

1. Unlock bootloader - fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

2. Flash custom recovery - fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryfile.img

3. Flash boot.img - fastboot flash boot boot.img

4. Erase cache for good measure - fastboot erase cache

5. Boot to recovery and then flash the rom
