The clockwork mod link doesn't work, but i tried everything else in there though

Installing clockwork mod recovery via Odin is the first thing you need to do. Then instal superuser zip via recovery

Try and ask for a mirror link in the thread I posted cause that's the first thing you will need to do.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] powerplayer28:
Ok, I believe i know what the problem is. Let me see if I can help. Are you using USB 2.0 connections or less? Are you using the right ODIN stated to be used with the T989? Do you have clockworkmod on your phone? THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION: Are all the drivers needed to install clockworkmod via ODIN installed on your phone? I strongly believe this is the problem since you think that drivers are installed because 'you can put music on your phone'. To put files on your phone, there are no drivers necessarily needed. But to access the phone without turning USB storage, you need to install drivers on your PC. Try installing correct drivers for your phone, reboot your pc, and then connect your phone Via USB AND DO NOT TURN ON USB storage. Then try to do the process all over again. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DoodleRay:
How do i know which drivers i need to install, because i got the samsung driver/kies installed on my computer .. and i am using usb 2.0 plus the odin i used is Samsung Galaxy S II (T989 Herculies)

Which process? I tried so many .. -_-
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
We've already done all this. If you didn't have the drivers, Odin wouldn't recognize your phone. And cwm won't flash right either, so your sol

Then It must be the drivers. There is a package to install that will allow you to access your phone directly. Did you install the correct drivers?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
Uninstall the drivers and try to reinstall them.

try different usb ports.

From what I remember though, you went through successful flashes in both odin and cwm. But then after the flash you are still left with the same bull**** that was on the phone. Without the phone in my hands I am out of ideas.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] YourAntic:
Hey! I had the same issue, my solution will sound dumb but try it, use a different USB cable preferably one from an OEM TMobile phone such as MyTouch 4G, Sensation 4G, Galaxy S2 or such, mine kept getting stuck at system.img.4 which is a few steps past setupconnection

I was using a blackberry micro USB cablr.i.had gotten off of ebay.

A lot of cheap Ebay cables appear to be 1.0 hence them not working, I also was trying to root phone and wasnt able to till I switched cables
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Since Odin detects your phone and you're just stuck trying to Odin... It is usually the case of the usb wire our usb port... That's really all i can think of. You said you used a different computer too. It might be the wire...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
When I talked to him he said Odin ran through successfully and completed the flash, it auto rebooted like it should, but nothing changed.

Cwm flashes run and complete fine, but also have no effect. He is always left with the same thing he had before.

I would like to get my hands on that phone and do it myself. weirdest **** I ever heard.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] YourAntic:
I still think USB cable issue, those stinken $2 made in China cables are as reliable as a 1990s ford.

They work fine sometimes and others theh crap out on you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
that doesn't seem like it would change anything. It flashes but nothing sticks according to him.

I chatted with him for an hour and ran through the whole process. Everything went through fine, but nothing changed.

First I provided a cwm tar I know works. He flashed it in Odin, and it completed successfully. Rebooted and nothing changed.

He then flashed a stock tar, that I use and know works. Went through fine. Still no change.

I dunno wtf is going on
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sinfulgray:
No xcrazydx your mistaken for phenom43's broke phone thread who couldnt flash anything over juggs... This thread here from DoodleRay he cant get his phone rooted period.

Doodle i would suggest you uninstall all your drivers and restart your pc and then reinstall them cause it sounds like a drivers issue and if that dont work find someone who can do it for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
Oh... Haha whoops

Yes, uninstall drivers.

Reinstall drivers

Try different USB slots, don't use 3.0 USB.

Try different cable

Right click and run Odin as admin

If you can't manage to root it with all the instructions given, sounds like you are gonna have to have someone do it for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Optimizer:
Make sure the drivers are installed, redownload Odin just to make sure its downloaded right, and if you are on windows 7, make sure that you right click and run odin as administrator. That could be the issue right there.

The instructions are simple, make sure the downloads are all up to date, run as administrator. That should be your fix.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DoodleRay:
I'm on windows 7 and i run odin in admin all the time. I also tried like 3-4 different odins from different threads.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Optimizer:
Hmmm.. Have you tried rooting from a different computer or different USB cord? I know that some cords have restrictions (as silly as that sounds, I have had to replace a cord because it wouldn't allow data transfer, only charging)... Try using a different cord, on a different computer... If that isn't doable right now, get back to me and we will try something different.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Driftin350:
When I was trying to root a friends phone the Odin file I had wasn't working properly and kept failing. I tried different files and all had the same outcome. I was finally able to get a working file from rootzwiki. It might be the file you're trying to use within Odin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DoodleRay:
Okay, i finally rooted my phone .. So what do i do now.. I got like superuser and everything. Does that mean my battery will last longer now?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
No, getting rooted is like opening a door. Root is nothing but a key to some more features to your phone that Samsung and your carrier feel will be to dangerous for you to have, so they initially lock you out of them. No you can flash a custom ROM, GB or some of the experimental ICS ones, on the GB ROMS give you alot of control over the CPU, use setcpu to overclock, underclock. Dude, i could go on and on, search, flash and enjoy!!

PS. Highly recommended doing a nandriod backup. Titanium backup and Root Toolbox are two highly recommended apps :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Optimizer:
What fixed it? And now with root, you can install a custom rom, a custom kernel, or just de-bloat your stock system right now (BE CAREFUL, read up on some guides around here before doing it). I recommend if you are new read the guides and familiarize yourself before doing anything, as it can 'brick' your device, or make it unusable and now that your phone is rooted it is outside of warranty, so you can't return it if it can't be restored to the normal.

Welcome to the rooted world!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Very true, though I returned a brick phone once. A LG Mytouch 4G, my first phone I rooted and the first one I bricked :D. It was only a week after I got it I bricked it, I warranty exchanged it anyway. I got a new one with no issues. Maybe my case is an isolated one, maybe not. Also, only 37 posts since 2008?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] razormight:
Dude, you could've tried to resurrect it. Search a bit about recovering from bad flash etc. In any case, you solved it by swapping the device. It could be possible that the hardware is bad. But, mostly it sounds like user error. :eek:

Just read before u start futzing around.:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Yes.. please update on how you solved your 1 month long problem lol....

I am going to ignore your last sentence because it sounds like you should not have tried rooting your phone in the first place because you don't know what it is even for...

BTW NANDROID is the first option.

Just went back to my Nexus for a bit and I have to keep brightness at 50%. Anything less and the Nexus display hurts my eyes after spending time with the OneX. However software wise it feels so good.

Keeping the OneX but so so happy to have a Nexus I can take a break and go back to. :D

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] V@no:
Not a word about lack of multitasking? Really? IMO it's overweights every con you've listed all together...If just this not going to be fixed in next 20 days, I'm returning it.

And then only 10gb of space for all the apps to install and 8mp camera with 1080p video compatibility? And 600mb of user accessible RAM?

I think you got to get your priorities straight ;)

Regarding the power button, I've owned 7 phones so far, different manufactures and all of them had power button on top. Doesn't bother me a single bit.

However the volume buttons placed on the opposite side of 3.5 jack is a bad design, because with this configuration you can't access them when the phone in the belt pouch. The 3.5 jack kind of forcing the pouch being on left side, making the buttons be at the bottom.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mobilehavoc:
Its annoying but not a huge issue for me yet. I also plan on rooting soon and customizing. I believe part of the issue is the minfree setting which you should be able to edit with root. Also it can't be far off before custom ROMs based on AOSP will be out. Just waiting for the boot loader to be unlocked.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] blazeoc:
Have not experienced LTE yet, but I am on "4G" here in Utah. We will get LTE by the end of the year I guess.

The screen on this thing is down right beastly. Just amazing. Compared to my iPhone 4s, damn.

I don't mind the multitasking to be honest coming from an iPhone where I never used it. It suites me fine.

Camera isn't great, I don't believe as good as the iPhone 4s, but still one of the best I have seen so far.

So far battery life I get around 16 hours, not bad, but not great.

Phone quality is there as well. No complaints from me.

I guess the only downside so far for me is the google wallet. I was really wanting to use that when switching over to android. Hopefully it will happen via att or root at some point.

I'm about to bring mine back because of the multi tasking. I have my gnex in my draw and it wants to go back into action. Once things get sorted out and boot loader unlocked I'll probably but another HOX
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fluxgfx:
I can't see any trouble with the One X in anyway. Multitasking if your asking me.... I switch between 2 or 3 apps at the most. I don't do gaming with it. Mostly use it for processing capacity and some programing, emails, sms, whatsapp, im+, documents to go etc... I don't use any of the stock application and most of the stock/htc apps are disabled. I've installed what I needed to operate the phone and software. Space wise... geez I have plenty of space left 6GB left after loading nearly 120 mp3's on. As if anyone is going to go through that amount in just a few days... I swap my music every month or so and never seem to be a problem. I have e nearly 3000 pictures on top of that....

I'm really wondering if it's most just because people are whining then actually having issues... just because it doesn't fit their tiny little needs... Almost also seems like you want your hand held phone to replace your desktop/laptop PC... well unless they have better batteries in the future.

LTE is great don't get me wrong but unless I'm going to transfer a large file... it's disabled just because it kills the battery. With just 4G on I can get roughly 27hrs worth of juice. I'm quite happy with that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Bigjim1488:
I guess your the only one on here that doesn't have a multitasking issue. Congratulations on talking down on everyone who isn't satisfied with their device. I guess my "tiny little needs" don't matter.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
If the way they do multitasking on this phone has any influence on the very strong battery life, then I can deal with it just fine.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Bigjim1488:
Hey that's fine but they should give us the option under the development menu. I don't need my battery to last forever. I have an office with a phone charger. I'm not worried about getting 22+ hours of battery life.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
More options = more confusion. You must remember, we are all like experts with android phones here on xda. Usually people are still learning how to answer a phone call on day 3 of their first smart phone, let alone an android. The wonderful part about android, and this site, is that you'll get custom roms with that option sooner rather than later. If HTC decided this was the way they wanted multitasking to improve battery life, they are going to stick with it. Being able to say the phone lasts longer than an iphone to a potential buyer is much more beneficial to sales to the common person then "it multitasks better."

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] carporsche:
I appreciate OP for bringing up such a post, as i feel that the HTC One X is really a great phone (its actually perfect for me!)

Unlike others, i never see most of the commonly faced problems on the forum while using my One X.

Here are the reasons i like the One X

1. SCREEN : No doubt the best screen ever.

2. BUILD Quality is superb and the design is sleek which i like. I dont ming the unibody design or the non-expandable memory/battery.

3. BATTERY : My phone gets me through a day with heavy use easily and by the time i charge it for the night i usually have 30% charge remaining, thats almost 16 hrs with moderate - heavy usage ( temple run, reddit, voice calls etc etc). Also i am in an area with LTE. I hardly notice the drain in battery bcoz of LTE. (my wifi and data are on all the time)

4. CAMERA : has tonnes of options and better than most cell phone cameras today.

MULTI-TASKING : i have never faced any issue with it. if i exit the game (using home button), then it resumes back at the same point. Likewise, for the other apps.

Wi-Fi : Again, i never faced any issues, i have always received the emails etc promptly (maybe not immediately, but the delay isnt significant enough for me to worry. Maybe 2-3 mins max)

SENSE : This is the only thing i dont like on my phone. would've loved a stock ICS experience.

In the end, am extremely happy with my phone, as i feel its a beautiful premium hardware.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Bruck177:
Hi all -

I receive an error when trying to watch a rented movie using the HTC Watch feature on my AT&T One X.

I'm able to purchase and download the movie completely, then after pressing play and agreeing to start my rental period, I get an error Unable to download the license. I found someone with a similar problem posted a video of the error on YouTube (I can't post the link, but the clip is titled VID_20120412_113030.mp4).

I called HTC and all they suggested was deleting my account and re-registering. This didn't correct the problem.

One final point - my phone is rooted and I didn't try to play a movie before rooting...so perhaps that is the problem? I could try to unroot, but I really don't want to see that 3 dot menu again!

Any thoughts/ideas as to how or why this is happening? Would rooting the phone cause this problem? It's disappointing because there are some decent bargains on HTC Watch.

Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem on mine, did you get a fix?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] modestdave@yahoo.com:
Same problem, no fix!

I had the same problem. Interestingly, the app (HTC Watch) worked a few times, before I started getting the dreaded "Unable to Download License" message. After exhaustive phone conversations with HTC, I was still unable to solve the problem. I tried the following to rectify: (1) I deleted all data and cache. (2) I opened a new account under a different email address. (3) I factory-reset my phone. NOTHING WORKED!

Finally, I was so frustrated that I exchanged my phone for another at the T-Mobile store (with a new SIM as well). The app worked! However, after a couple of weeks, the very same problem occurred and has remained until this day. I'm pulling my hair out! :mad:

If anybody at all has any idea how to fix this, please help!

I've had 2 emails & 3 phone conversations with HTC helpdesk folks over the past 3 weeks, and at the end of the day, they don't know why I'm getting the error.

They did mention the "HTC Watch Department" recognizes this is an error experienced by other users as well, but at the moment they have no way of correcting it.

They also said they'll let me know if/when the issue is resolved. I'll post here if I hear back from them.
