Saw a post on whirlpool saying a possible update on the 18th of August.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Disruptor4:
I think you may be referring to mine but I stated not remember where I read it. Well I found where I read the date August 18. It does refer to the HTC One X, but I'd imagine they'd release similar firmware at the same time for the X and XL.

Does anybody know any compelling reasons for me to downgrade my hboot from 1.11 to 1.09?

It got upgraded in my search for the 2.23 OTA update last night.

Sure does mate.

Didn't think you could downgrade your hboot...

Pretty sure doing this will allow me to install the 1.81 RUU and in turn downgrade the hboot to 1.09

The way I read this is to be able to downgrade from 1.89 to 1.85 etc I don't think flashing the ruu will downgrade a newer hboot though but I could be wrong..

Okay w0tha. I replaced the build.prop in CleanROM with yours and did a clean install. Will run some speed tests and report back tomorrow night. I'll be in a 4G area tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes too.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] w0tha:
Thanks, let me know how you go. Also dunno if you saw it in the CleanRom thread, are you having an issue where when you get a 3G connection there is no data connection??

I reckon they must have - I live in Essendon and didn't have coverage until now *happy dance* :D

Apart from CleanROM 4.5, what's been the most successful ROM that you have run on the Telstra HTC One XL??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mitty:
Well right now I'm running Team Nocturnal XI40 Telstra 128. It seems pretty rock solid even though it's only based on 4.0.3/1.89. I'm on Radio 1.89 and everything seems fine. I'm honestly hestitant to go back to CleanROM even though it's very nice, simply because of these reception problems. I think I'd prefer a Telstra based ROM if at all possible.

Question what's the best radio you have all found with CleanROM 4.5?

I am still running 1.89 and am wondering about reflashing CR with 1.89 and the RIL files again or is the AT&T 2.20 radio good as people are reporting good battery life (on AT&T though) with it.

Thanks :)

Ok, CleanROM with the modified build. prop runs fine. 3G speeds for me are down a bit, but still quite acceptable. 4G still great. But whoa, does CleanROM suck the battery dry when in a 4G area!

I spend Thursdays in a 4G area all day. With Xi40 my battery drops throughout that day only slightly more than normal. Today with CleanROM it was at least 35-40% less.

Hm, I still find 4G give major battery suckage, doesn't matter which ROM you try, current on xi40 Telstra right now.

I'll run an experiment, I've had my phone unplugged since 6.30 this morning and on 3G only. I'm down to 91% after 2 hours of use thoughi wasn't really doing that much during that time, mainly listening to music on my morning commute and a bit of twittering and browsing. I'll switch to 4G now, and see where we're at at lunch time.

OneXL arrived today.

Wow Scotty - you were right! What a phone. Quite the beast - I wasn't expecting it to be so big! But I don't have a tablet, so this works for me.

So what first? If I'm understanding correctly, "rooting" the device is like the old HSPL? Basically like a format?

Back up Telstra's ROM, Root it, choose a ROM, flash ... I'm going through the forum, I'm up to page 25... but its so much!!

Would love to have a go-to-guide: "You have your OneXL, so, now what?" XD

Won't have much of a chance to play with it before Sunday, but I'm guessing it's full of the typical Telstra Bloatware?

You're using CleanRom Scotty? I know you and I have similar tastes in ROMs, since I loved OzROM for 2 1/2 yrs!

I'm too old for this learning curve - but I'm not letting Apple tell me what I can and can't put on my phone, and I'm sure I'm going to get sick of Telstra's locked ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] w0tha:
Hey mate,

I just Unlocked my Bootloader and installed a Custom Recovery just on a week ago now. My HTC One XL (Telstra) was on software 1.89 after the OTA and this worked, but this will work on 1.85 as well.

These are the steps I took and then flash the CleanRom 4.5 ROM:

1. Unlocked Bootloader:

http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/

Follow the prompts and it will give you your Unlock token (no need for Root when doing this).

2. Installed TWRP through fastboot:

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/99

(Still no Root needed to do this.

3. Flash your Rom of choice and it will have Root already enabled.

If you need any help let me know :)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dave-:
Give up on current CleanROM, no amount of build.prop changes will get it working unfortunately. I went through a bunch of ROM's today:

Nocturnal_Xi40_Telstra_One_X_r128_ODEX (Don't like it)

Nocturnal_Special_Edition_2.2_Odex (Telstra stuff didn't work)

KingCobra1X-v1.4 (Telstra stuff didn't work)

cm-10-20120809-UNOFFICIAL-evita (CM10 is getting better by the day, will most likely goto this once its had a bit more work)

And restored my CleanROM4.5 backup for now.

I just finished setting up a kitcken on my linux box. Currently deodexing the stock Telstra 1.89 RUU zip, I know radavs already did it but never done this before and want to understand the process from start to finish. A 1.89 build with the mods I want will do for now, if I can get it working that is.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] geekygrl:
I have Foxtel working on CleanROM4.5 :confused:

All I did was change the build.prop to the one posted here from w0tha :good: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29895816&postcount=603

Just renamed the CR 4.5 build.prop to build.prop.bak and installed the above txt file (just rename it build.prop) using root explorer, change permissions, reboot, profit :victory:

Works well too
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Purrsia:
So, had a bit of a chance to play with Telstra s stock Rom, I'm actually quite impressed. Nothing seems to be terribly locked down, it seems snappy and quick, and I ran Skype in standby all day and the battery hardly dropped. (Call quality with the latest version of Skype leaves something to be desired, but there's plenty of comments on their page about the crackly, scratchy sound). Also installed Swype beta, Trace keyboard is good, but Swype is better. Continuing to have a play - is the performance from the custom roms really that much better?

Ok... I have now read every page of this thread. A few questions from a noob:

1: three things I'm reading about that I'm a bit confused about;

the differences between rooting, unlocking the boot loader, and deodexing? They seem to be all independent of each other and offer different benefits.

a) why would you root a device and stay with stick Rom? Is that to be able to install mods on stock? - such as a battery percentage mod?

b) I'm assuming you need to unlock the boot loader to be able to flash custom....

c) and.... I have no idea what deodexing does.

2) you guys talk about knowing when you're on 3G vs 4G and being able to force the device to drop 4G which obviously has battery life benefits. Where and how do you know/do this?

3) I notice in task manager that my device likes to randomly open apps that I have no interest in, like, right now, Facebook and Music are open, and I haven't opening them, and I have auto-sync switched off. Wtf is that all about?

Cheers

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pablo11:
Weird, I did that too and tried Nocturnal with the same buid.prop - with no luck. Did the phone show up as XL in SettingsAbout/Phone Identity? w0tha even says that it didn't fix the m.bigpond problem so how can it fix Foxtel?

Just curious cos I always end up back on a stock rom because of this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] the_scotsman:
When you say you have foxtel working, you mean you can view http://mobiletv.telstra.com :confused:

Yea, the stock ROM is actually quite decent. But the newer 2.2x based Android 4.0.4 ROMs are so much slicker and glitch free. Only thing is, once you unlock, that's it. There's no going back. You can relock but your IMEI is with HTC and a bricked phone MAY not be covered under warranty.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Purrsia:
I edited my last post to add a few questions on my mind, rather than repost, I thought I'd just say, "scroll up"

Yeah, I read that it even marks your device as "relocked" lol

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] the_scotsman:
Ahhh..but we're talking about the free content from the Telstra One app. Try going to the link I posted, I'd guess it doesn't work for you either.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] the_scotsman:
1:

a) Some mods are ROM/Sense version specific and so most won't work on stock ROM as the devs only tend to create their mods for the latest versions. Some might work though.

b) Correct

c) deodexing is something the devs do to their ROMs. It's nothing that you need to do. Deodexing makes for easier theming, but odexed ROMs are slightly faster I believe.

2:

The icon in the status bar will say 4G when you're connected to it. To disable 4G, go to settings > mobile network > network mode.

3:

Android works by using most available memory, keeping apps running in the background for better multitasking. It's nothing to be concerned about. It's the opposite to Windows Mobile and goes against what WM was about. Even if you try closing them, they'll just open again themselves :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Purrsia:
Ahh, so rooting it just frees it up to be able stick more stuff on it... Maybe I'll just stick with that for now seeing as I'm not hating Telstra's stock rom, and watch the custom rom development a bit longer.

Haha, I guess I am very Windows indoctrinated then, eh? I'm all about freeing up memory, not using it! :p

Thanks for the answers to my noob questions. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] geekygrl:
Oh! I have never used that link before, even on iPhone I used the app as I have a paid subscription so thought that's what you were referring too.

Ah now we're on the same page hehe. I didn't know there was an app. Interesting that the content plays fine though the app.

Hi fellow Telstra owners.

Can someone please confirm that these steps are either spot on or if I'm missing something?

Just to recap, its a HOXL - version 1.89 - Telstra (AUS)

Plug phone via USB (Charge only)

Enable USB debugging

Go to HTCDev to unlock bootloader

Flash TWRP custom recovery via Fastboot (GooManager) Google App store

Flash Pre-rooted ROM of your choice (Telstra AUS tick approval).

I just did a backup, factory reset and wiped all data. I want to keep the factory ROM, just in case things go south. I'm assuming I use TWRP to make an image, or is it easier if I just download the 1.89 RUU from the OP?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] the_scotsman:
That's all correct :good:

No need to backup though. The RUU will get you back to stock if need be. It's not possible to get back to stock just flashing a backup of your stock anyway.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thejosh86:
I didn't do anything fancy - I can't remember if you're prompted to install a wifi tether app or not but I didn't install that and just used the one built into the OS. I just put in my own details for the SSID and the password and turned it on and it worked.

Yeah I'm in Sydney on Telstra.

Thank you the_scotsman.

If I may throw back some observations/advice to you.

1. Regarding custom ROMs, I'm looking for a clean version that's pretty much fully functional, something I can use on a daily basis without swapping ROMs too frequently. I tried to suggest a Sense 4.1 - Android 4.0.4, but someone said it would brick my Telstra phone.

Apologies if I sound lazy, but I'm confused to which ROM to choose and I think I know this whole rooting process a bit better except the ROMs.

Cheers

It's only a 4.0.3/Sense 4.0 ROM, but there's not too much mucking around since it's a Telstra based rom. I'm using it to get my feet wet because I'm a recent iPhone convert.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Miguel One XL:
Phew! I've successfully unlocked the boot loader now via HTCDEV.

Next step: Flash a custom TWRP recovery...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Miguel One XL:
Update: Progress but still no luck.

Used Command prompt via Windows FASTBOOT USB in order to flash evita recovery image that I saved into a folder.

Command Prompt wrote image "OKAY", finished total time: 0.546s, so yes it wrote it to the phone fine it seemed.

Then I "fastboot reboot" the phone, it reboots but doesn't go to the custom recovery, rather just resumes straight to stock rom as per usual. What am I doing wrong?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] geekygrl:
When you fastboot reboot unless you hold down the VOL Down button it will just reboot into the ROM.

Try rebooting and holding down the VOL down key at the same time - that will take you into the Bootloader screen...use VOL Down button again to select Recovery and then press the power button to select....it should then boot into recovery :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] the_scotsman:
Or just type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and choose recovery from the menu ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Miguel One XL:
Cheers, I will try that prompt.

My issue is not being able to access bootloader, but accessing the custom recovery screen. Thanks anyway geekygirl.

Hopefully just adding custom ROMs is the easy part hehe.

---------- Post added at 08:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 AM ----------

Just attempted fastboot reboot-bootloader, but unfortunately it did not boot into custom recovery, just that white screen again.

On the top it does say TAMPERED UNLOCKED. Evita 2.2.0 TWRP is the right image? Goomanager found it for me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pablo11:
Yep, recovery is the second option on the bootloader menu - use vol key to select it then press the power button once and your phone will boot into recovery. Good luck - it's a great phone! :fingers-crossed:

---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 AM ----------

That white screen where it says tampered / unlocked is the bootloader - look a bit further down the screen for more options...

And TWRP 2.2.0 is correct recovery
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] geekygrl:
If you re-read what I said and what others have reiterated I was getting you to boot into recovery which is done via the boot loader menu where it states RECOVERY :rolleyes:

Or via fastboot the method the_Scotsman mentioned
