[HTC One X] AliceXES:
Yes, I wouldn't do that either.

BUT HE DID IT and now wants to help. Now, let's focus on to get something out of this and cut the crap!

nickhuk: How about some pics? And how do you open HOX without damaging it?
[HTC One X] xchasa:
He could always say it's how it was bought. Hence screen issues..

That's what I'd be saying.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Yes, let's throw him under the bus. There's every chance that he's not done anything HTC will detect *yet*, but that he will do so in trying to help out. Let's make sure he's aware of the chance that continuing may cost him the entire phone, if he hasn't already done so. Then he can decide if he wants to take that risk.

Or we can just open our own phones... and if we don't want to, why should we not try to help somebody else have a bit of common sense too?

There have already been multiple product teardowns of the One X posted, including detailed photos. Getting him to take photos and describe the experience won't tell you anything that 20 seconds with forum search couldn't have done.

Hint: It comes apart with a spudger.
[HTC One X] drvsbsm:
Right, its already open now, cant take that back so it wont never go back to being un-opened, so get all these guys all the info you can that may be able to help move development forward.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Wrong. It snaps back together just fine, presuming he didn't break anything in opening it. (How do you think HTC puts it together in the first place?)

It's possible he hasn't yet done anything that will land him in hot water with his warranty, and that he will do so if he continues fiddling. It's equally possible he's already shot his warranty. Nobody knows, but if it's the latter he can always tear things back apart and fiddle when he gets his unwarranted phone back from HTC.
[HTC One X] Paulst30:
I respect the fact the OP wants to help, and the last time i checked that was the ethos of this forum. All i'm seeing is the poor guy being flamed for opening a phone. I'm sure he/she knew the risks. Time being a factor i noted that it was wasted with people assuming control based on previous experience.

"used to work in a *fill in the blanks*" is all very well but wins no respect if it's not followed up with a "so here's how to find out"
[HTC One X] KrisPerry:
Ok so rather than criticising, lets give him a list of procedures to try to enter apx
[HTC One X] f4flake:
Also, how easily does the screen come out and does it pop back into place securely are also valid questions.

And in case HTC play silly buggers,

"it was the courier what must have done it, it wasn't like that when I gave it to him."

Really, are you all this dramatic at home?
[HTC One X] shadehh:
What the hell? The first page already dicusses warranty issues and warns him. Is it of importance to drag a conversation to the damned last page of the thread? Want to discuss warranty issues ? Create a new thread!
[HTC One X] The Asgard:
Interested in this too. My Iphone battery went bye, bye after 3 years and that is a pain to change so any info on this would be appreciated.
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
I am curious, if it is that easy to pop the shell , will we see replacement shells available for the phone. I don't neccessarily mean 3rd party, but original replacements if we scratch ours for example.
[HTC One X] techmatlock:
Good job guys, he's Audi 5000.
[HTC One X] twe69:
Would have been good to make a video of you opening the phone or I guess putting it back together? Just to see how difficult it is/was?
[HTC One X] Cney:
God! stop talking about the casing.

in case **** we could open up a donate for him because he did the community a big ass favor in opening the thing.

back on topic. have you succeeded in finding the right combo of buttons?

it might be that HTC went another way with this phone.

Has the One V been made S-off? is there similar hardware (not the CPU and the GPU ofcourse) for getting it s-off?
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
I think he just gave up and went away because everyone had to give their twopen'th about warranty, presumably in the belief that the way they put it would be so much more meaningful than the last post that he'd suddenly see the light and travel back in time to before he opened it. Opportunity lost I fear. Sigh.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Well, you can always pop your own phone open -- you know it's easy to do, won't take you but a few seconds.

Oh, wait, what's that? You only care about warranty for your own phone, and don't really care whether somebody else is losing their own warranty through stupidity if it means you have a microscopic chance of getting an advantage for yourself from their actions?

Man, there are a lot of self-entitled people in this thread. If you don't want anybody making sure the guy's ware that he is likely destroying his warranty and getting himself stuck with a lemon, then frankly you should be opening your own phone up and participating too.
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
Getting an advantage? I have no intention of rooting.

Don't want anybody making sure he's aware? One person saying it would have been enough and it would have been me if I was first in.

Self entitled? Quite right, all the people who went on at the poor guy despite him expressing that since it was done, let's get on.

Since I'm clearly being selfish here and the fact that I have put a lot of time and effort into opening a direct channel for communicating bugs to HTC at a high level counts for nothing maybe I'll keep the responses from HTC to my self and sack this place of.

MORON!

bye!
[HTC One X] Dave Trouser:
Back to business...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1645089

I should point out that the connector I labelled "mic" is also for the vibrate motor. The second mic and connector is not visible.

As stated in my other thread, I have tried all combinations of Vol+/- and PWR, trying a USB connection each time - no device was ever detected by my PC.
[HTC One X] f4flake:
Thanks for that Dave,

Any obvious path for the ribbon coming from the five pogo pin connectors?
[HTC One X] Dave Trouser:
Er, yeah, I left it out because I thought it was so obvious... it's the unlabeled ribbon on the right.

I very much doubt the pogo connector is going to be anything other than:

+5V

CLK/Battery Info

GND

Spk Left

Spk Right
[HTC One X] f4flake:
Sorry, I rather meant the other end of the ribbon, perhaps under the board.
[HTC One X] Dave Trouser:
Ah sorry, you mean the tracks on the PCB. Most of them were in a middle layer from what I could see. Very little routing on the surface (this would be because the 0V/GND layer is the outermost one for shielding purposes).
[HTC One X] f4flake:
exactly what I meant. thanks.

Obvs there's an element for the audio dock, I guess I thought it might route either directly to the audio jack or that it might have a big sticker saying "Bios Flash This way".
[HTC One X] nickhuk:
I love the whole "let’s patronize the OP about warranty"

The only reason I am doing this is because the company who provided me with the phone are sending out a new one BEFORE I send this 1 back. And if they want to try and say something after the fact then they can sing for any money (whilst I enjoy my NEW HOX) they say I owe...

Anyway back on topic... there are 3 pages of ppl arguing with each other...

What can I do/test??
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
One presumes the company who provided you with the phone have your credit card details, and/or retains the services of a debt collector. However, you've now made clear that you are aware of the implicatons of dismantling a product that doesn't belong to you, so you'll have nothing to complain about if or when you do get charged.

Hence, go right ahead... I won't feel any compunction any more if your eventual loss earns me something. :-)
[HTC One X] Dave Trouser:
I already did the battery removed USB test and got nowhere. I don't recommend you do that as it involves breaking the sticker on one of the screws (the one that says "VOID" on it).

Unless you really don't care about them having proof you opened the phone, in which case, a photo of the other side of the mainboard, which I forgot earlier, would be great. Not expecting to see much though.

I'll probably open mine up again at the weekend when I have some more time.

I really recommend you do not do this though, as there are so many fiddly things that will potentially trip you up:

1) The black tape over various connectors - it's obvious when it's been removed, and you will probably forget where at least one of them came from (I did!).

2) The ribbon connectors are fragile and the tiny-almost-invisible clips snap easily.

3) When lifting the mainboard away from the display, it will pull off a connector which can only be put back on with the mainboard almost entirely back down. I had to use tiny tweezers to clamp it back on. This connector has the Power switch wiring so if it isn't put back the phone won't turn on.

4) The battery connector - it pulls up from the board, not along the direction of the wires, which is not immediately obvious when you look at it. This is why the mainboard has to be removed to disconnect the battery.

5) The rubber dust guards around the earphone socket and USB socket. If they come off, they are really fiddly to fit back on - especially the USB one.

6) The Power and Volume plastic toggles. Also a real pain to get back into place as you snap the phone back together.

There are probably others that I forgot too.
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Steady on now, don't patronize him. He knows what he's doing, that's why he's asking for advice on the internet. Heck, I recommend he dismantles it with a chainsaw, and posts the video on YouTube. ;-)
[HTC One X] nickhuk:
hahahaha no wonder your single!!!
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
I... what now? Not sure where you got that rather misguided idea...
[HTC One X] Dave Trouser:
This thread is now trolls. I will post future findings in the thread I created earlier when I posted the photos originally.
[HTC One X] drvsbsm:
You took my post the wrong way bro, probably could have used better wording on my part though.

What I was getting at was the fact that he already has taken it apart so it wasn't like he could undo what had already happened, as in taking the phone apart, when I said "can't take it back now" I was referring to he can't undo taking it apart?

Bad choice of words on my part for sure. I was on the side of the fence that hopes that he will be able to return it without issues. While he has already taken it apart getting all the information as possible would be an excellent idea. The posters that are saying you shouldn't have done that, maybe not? Its already been done though so giving as much info to the community could be beneficial.

Its not like the guy made a post saying should I take my HOX apart he made a post saying "just took apart HOX, what can I do/test?". Whats done is done. Thanks for the information and the pics man!
[HTC One X] Cney:
Do you see obvious 'JTAG' holes/points on the PCB.
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
can some one make a video opening the HOX ?

thanks

[HTC One X] Appsdroid:
well i come on here trying to find our if he found anything useful by taking his apart if i could confirm he could gain access to apx or some other feature we could utilise i was going to offer my assistance and scrap my warranty also but unfortunately we have almost five pages of people telling the guy he shouldnt have done this when he already stated he knew the risks rather than try and provide him with useful information that could assist him. At the time when i posted i was only half way through the posts so didnt notice until i clicked post that no-one had responded in over a fortnight. If i had read to the end i prob wouldnt of made a post as the main op seems to have not responded for longer again. Shame we might of been able to find out some useful info ill jump back on irc now and see if anyone needs any testing dont on there.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
I am curious what the results will be if I use the factory restore within a custom rom . I'm currently running AOKP M5.1 . I am wondering if there are any unsightly ramifications to booting into TWRP and doing a factory restore and erasing the SD card contents? I would like to do this to free up as much space as possible and remove the left over remnants of over 20 flashes and a plethora of app installs. One question I have is will TWRP wipe its own directories?

Would this be better from a stock perspective? The only time I wiped my SD card I was on stock and I really don't care to experience any directory malfunctions or card mounting issues. Doing this within a custom rom will my device still know its a kindle lol?

Edit: I know that this will not restore to 6.3.1 I'm just looking to run AOKP in a clean fresh environment including the SD card:-) thanks for any input
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Reserved
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
You cannot wipe recovery from inside recovery, only the TWRP backups on your sdcard will be lost. The sdcard is on its own partition apart from recovery and system files.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Backups are backed up on my pc:-) also the only time I have used factory restore is when I was going to flash something new. The idea of this seems simple I just don't want it to be problematic since I won't be doing a new flash.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
Factory data reset from a ROM will wipe the /data partition. It's effectively the same as "Wipe -> Factory Reset" from TWRP.

On the other hand, if you do the equivalent from the stock software, it too will wipe the /data partition, but it will also take the SD Card contents along with it. I learned this the hard way.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
I would like to flush the SD for a clean start music video and apps can all be restored before I stick both feet in I want to make sure that it just gives me the spring cleaning that I'm looking for:-)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Well here's what I decided to do I figured since I had a working rom on I would do it all from the factory restore in the rom. So I clicked factory restore and erase SD card after rebooting it prompted me to set up my Google account. After it restored my account and all my apps downloaded and installed, I moved some files to my SD that I wanted back on and did a backup through twrp. All said and done I was very excited to see that I had 4 gigs of remaining space on my SD card so I managed to clear out 2 gigs of excess clutter from what I have done on my kindle. The only downside I have noticed so far is when hooking my kindle to my computer it shows G: removable disk . ADB drivers are good but its no longer listed as kindle under my computer which isn't the first time I've seen this.The way I figure no big deal adb works and I can access my SD card contents on my computer how its listed is irrelevant.

Drivers driver drivers windows sucks lol at this point they are functioning so I will not be trying to reinstall them. Later I will try another restore and wipe my SD through twrp to see if that changes probably won't make a difference I'm just gonna do it for kicks and giggles:D

On a device that only has 5 gigs of storage regaining 2 more gigs of play room is substantial. There was more clutter than what I anticipated I was only hoping for a half a gig and I'm certainly thrilled by 2 :D

[G2 and Desire Z General] johrie:
Log in to the amazon site and check how many devices are connected to your account.

I had the same problem :P Somehow every time you update your rom or install a new one it thinks it is a whole new phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Spastic909:
When you flash a new ROM it's not much different than installing a new OS. Therefore services think it's a new device. In a computer after recovery our fresh install you can reuse any crappy trial software that came with it

Also what are some threads I should read to get started on rooting my device and flashing new ROMs onto it?

Current state:

Hboot 1.50 Unlocked S-ON

Boots into stock ROM

I was stuck in a boot loop and couldn't get into recovery so I relocked my phone and ran RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00.1216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304_signed.

Phone booted correctly after the RRU and was able to unlock the device. I went back and followed the instructions HERE to flash TWRP recovery. The exact same way that I had originally flashed.

When I was trying to Flash my recovery I received this:

C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (5068 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 0.011s

1. Am I screwed?

2. What can I do to prevent this in the future?

3. How do I fix it?
[HTC EVO 3D] Twolazyg:
1. No.

2. Nothing, it happens sometimes.

3. Maybe a corrupt download? Try again with a new copy of recovery.

If that doesn't work, try a different recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] franciumgoesboom:
I receive that error no matter which recovery I try.

The first file I tried in the OP was the same file that I had used when I originally started flashing. I just tried with twrp 2.0 and the same thing happens.

C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery twrp-shooter-2.0.0RC0.img

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nman123:
Hey guys I was wondering how many of you would like to have me make videos of the note and review all of the rooms I can. If you guys want me to then tell me and also tell me which features you guys want I will try to make these like phone dog does as in with the detail

There's just one thing I need and its the permission of the devs who create the rom so if any on them come across this post just pm me or post that you give me permission to review your roms

To every dev I will link them to the video of the rom also I will state the from and the date and build that I flashed

Thanks

Edit:

The videos I'm deciding on reviewing

Hybrid rc3 at various dpi levels

Ucld3 team perfection ics objection

The collective iml74k ucld3 unofficial 2.0 beta mod (my current dd)

Seraphim troposphere

Saurom projekt

Noteworthy ics beta v2.0

And others

Much help would be appreciates in people reviewing these rooms and sending me them so that I can post on my channel and obviously give full credit to the people who made the video

The features I'm going to review is

Stability

Usability

S pen

Theme

Interface

And others people can post below

Edit : please don't say I should review battery I will mention it but it won't ever be accurate because battery is different per person

Edit: if I make n e money I will donate it to any devs or anyone whose going to start a new project for the note like the tablet mode was

This is totally non profit and I just want to help people get there answers through a video review or through a video tourtorial because I know its much easier than just written answers

Thanks
