no worries it should work fine! just don't forget to do a nandroid on your original/shipped rom before installing a custom rom..... gudluck
[HTC One X] sy573mx:
okay I have done the custom ROM, Domination with clockwork recovery. and did a backup

I want to delete the bloat files that I see in clockwork the default apps and such that came with the phone. Is it safe to just delete them or will I run into issues later on ? I have downloaded a RUU but its an earlier build 1.26.401 Europe (I am from South Africa )

I did a ota when I got the phone to

Android version:4.0.4

HTC Sense version: 4.1

Software number:2.14.401.2

HTC SDK API level:4.23

HTC Extension cersion:HTCExstension_403_1_GA_20

Kernel Version:2.6.39.4-4090b42e root@ABM041 #1 SMP PREEMPT

Baseband version:2.1204.135.20

Build number:2.17.401.2 CL89015 release-keys

Browser version: Weblit/534.30

But I can't download the europe RUU as I have to become a premium member ? utter bull !

I don't care for sense much so if I have to give the phone in for repairs then I'm sc__ed.

So can I delete "everything" ? As I want a clean phone memory

I have a question about gapps, I thought chrome came with JellyBean ?

If I want to delete an app from gapps can I just go in the zip folder and delete the .apk that I no longer want ? or do I have to edit an xml or txt file ?

one important correction

hi

i have Pmed the OP on this and he should correct this soon in the meantime one correction

here : To restore a Nandroid backup, providing you have the Clockworkmod\backup folder on your phones SD card, enter recovery, and in the option Backup/Restore, just choose 'restore' and off it goes, you've restored the Nandroid backup.

Note : before doing a nand restore u need to flash the boot.img via fast boot and then do the nand restore i have done this and it works fine

u can get the boot.img from ur nand back up:laugh::good:

thanks for this very informative detail tute:good::laugh:
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
Thanks for posting this info.

I completely blanked on this point I must admit!

If for instance you root the phone and install say Paranoid Android ROM onto your HOX, that has it's own dedicated Boot.IMG, if you mess something up and try to do a Nand Restore, the image that you will be restoring the wrong Boot.IMG (It'd be the Boot.IMg that was running from HTC Sense) so you may end up with a Bootloop/Bricked HOX.

*Corrected Method*

Before you perform the Nand Restore you will need to flash the correct Boot.IMG, you can do this one of two ways I believe;

1. Go into recovery, look for the correct Boot.IMG from inside the Nandroid Backup, flash that and then you'll be okay to perform the Nandroid restore.

2. I haven't tried this but I believe that it'll work - Connect your HOX to your PC via USB, Boot up into HBoot, select Fastboot so that you have the FastbootUSB connection, then from CMD enter:

That'll take you to the Fastboot folder you should still have within your C:\

Then enter:

Then you can, Go back and boot up into recovery, then perform the Nandroid Restore from CWM as you would normally...

I think that'll do it, I might be wrong, if I am let me know and I'll alter it... I'm not 100% on "fastboot flash boot.img boot.img".

Welcome mate :cool:
[HTC One X] mpe91:
Just completed my first ever root and custom rom flash following you guide. Really an excellent guide. Nice and easy to follow, covers all the steps in plenty of details. Couldn't ask for more really. :)
[HTC One X] budensik:
Hi Hylian very decent guide i've red it twice but still i have a noob question because I've never own htc before and honestly flashing roms on sgs or sgs 2 is much easier and quicker. Ok my question is let's say i did everything as You said and if i want to flash different xxrom DO I HAVE TO EVERY TIME FLASH BOOT.IMG FILE FOR XXROM?

If so that means every rom suppose to has boot.img file attached to it for flashing. I hope that You understand what i'm talking about , anyway thanx alot for nice guide and i have to say it 1 more time . Flashing roms with odin or straight from samsung sd is the easiest way i think.

Well i had a choice Galaxy S 3 or HOX and I here i'm with my HOX and i like it alot ,i don't regret nothing at all .

So i'm going drink some vodka now NA ZDROWIE EVERY1 :)
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
Yes you have to reflash the Boot.IMG every time you change ROMS, the only time you don't need to is if you're upgrading from the same ROM, i.e ARHD 2.1 to ARHD 2.2.

There are a few 'one-click' programs out there for the HOX, you just need to search the forums for them.

Peace out.
[HTC One X] JohnDotcoM:
:good: Excellent guide! :good: And a valuable source of info! Ive been dreading Unlocking my bootloader and rooting my device incase i bricked it like i did my g/fs Xperia 3-4 times hahaha..

But on a serious note thankyou! The guide is very clear to understand and it didnt leave me pondering over any of the stages!!

Good work!

Very Happy Now to Some Customization!!

[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:

[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
I guess I should add in...

I guess I should add into this guide now how to install a JellyBean ROM.

Might do that soon in post #2.
[HTC One X] ppzoid:
I followed the guide and everthing went fine until i actually tried to flash the new rom I get an error: (bad) installation aborted

I then tried to restore but got a bootloop. I already found out that i have to flash the old boot.img via fastboot, which doesn't work. The error i get is:remote: not allowed.

What can i do now? I'm really panicking here, because i don't find any solution to my problem in the forum.

EDIT: I at least solved the problem with recovering. Back to stock ;) Better than nothing.
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
This thread is now slightly outdated, I need to update it for the Jelly Bean release of ARHD.

It was written with ICS ROMs in mind.

If you were trying to flash 9.7.2 (ICS) it'd have worked okay, were you trying to flash 13.0/14.1 (JB)?
[HTC One X] scott62185:
Wow, great guide! I'm planning on buying a used One X (from Craigslist or somewhere like that), but I'm having a hard time discerning the difference between development for the unlocked version vs. for the AT&T version. I gather that the roms, hacks, etc. are not interchangeable. So, which version has more development for it? This guide is for the unlocked version?

Also, can you tell me what the codenames are for each of the versions? For example, I've seen the name "endeavoru" as linked to the One X (on the CyanogenMod site), but not sure which version that is.

Thanks in advance...
[HTC One X] BustaVR6:
Hi buddy, please do!

I followed your guide to root my HOX yesterday, made a couple of mistakes and want to use rom cleaner now but I'm going to do that with ICS until you can write a JB guide.

I get confused with HBOOTs and firmwares so I look forward to your guide.

adb server is outdated

I tried performing the adb backup. It says the adb server is out of date... killing...

and it fails. I downloaded the bundle instead of the link file. and i copied the sdk folder in C drive. Then i followed the thread but i got the above error. Should i try installing the link file or is there something else wrong with it.

Can i simply root this device and install titanium back up and then back up everything with it, or my data will already be lost by then?

EDIT:

I tried downloading the link file too, still says the same thing. "adb server is out dated"

[HTC One X] skeetz77:
First time Android user here. Wished every guide was written like this. I've read others - it'll say do this or that but never HOW to do it. Maybe fine for Android vets but very vague for noobs like me.

So what's the different steps for doing a JB Rom (besides the cid part)? I read that other guide for JB but I need something more detailed like this guide.
[HTC One X] alekos-ep91:

yes thx u
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
I don't see why not, iirc it should be okay.

if I were you I'd double check in the threads for whichever ROM you plan on flashing though bro.
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
Thanks for the kind words, I keep meaning to get around to writing a guide for flashing a JB ROM like the guide I've written in the OP, haven't had time as of yet.

I will get around to it soon, possibly in the New Year so stay tuned!

My JB flashing was a fiasco, trying to follow numerous guides to get it done so once I've streamlined the process for myself a bit I'll write a guide up.
[HTC One X] yash777:
I have installed 3 ROMs so far but I don't get network on any of them. Can anyone point me to flashing radios and the baseband thing?
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
Did you flash the boot.img files for the roms you are trying? You need to copy the boot.img file out if the rom.zip and flash that via fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img) and then flash the rom.zip file via recovery.
[HTC One X] yash777:
Yes I've done that. I know how to install a custom ROM properly. On one of the ROMs I manually searched for a network and I got network but no wifi so I rebooted and I got wifi but then I wasn't getting network. Since then I am not getting network on any ROM
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
I'd go through the whole process again for flashing the ROM, super wiping and deleting caches etc...
[HTC One X] :
Went through this thread with my HOX (o2 branding...), worked like a charm, thx Hylian :D I did not went into any problems during the whole process....now I have a wonderful, fast-as-light and Sense-free phone :victory:
[HTC One X] Brac20:
I used this guide today. It was VERY useful. I am now unlocked and rooted. I also did the back up and restore process which worked well apart from one or two apps not being backed up (XDA being on of them).

My only issue (and this might have been mentioned above) was with the custom ROM installation. The linked ARHD thread no longer has a download link for an ICS ROM (3UK is one of the few networks that still hasnt released the JB update). Also I couldn't find a link for Superwipe. I figured I would wait until 3 have finally released the Jelly Bean up date to my phone and then install a custom ROM.

Thanks alot for the guide, it was very helpful and I feel I know a bit more about the process now.
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
Glad it helped you, I do need to update the guide to be honest so that it's flashing a JB ROM not an ICS ROM but I haven't the time yet.

[HTC One X] obsydian:
Just moved to a new laptop and re-settting it up, but been trying to install the SDK Tools as per point 2 in the OP, but the new link is to a zip file, when I follow th new instructions at the link and try to run the Eclipse.exe file i get an error message "The Eclipse exceutable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library", any ideas ?

The old method was as the OP, easy, run and install.
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:

[HTC One X] Bendary:
Can I do everything with the htc all in one toolkit instead of all these steps?
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
I believe so, I haven't used it myself.

The only thing is that you won't learn to do anything yourself, something that you might later need to rely on.

Still, my guide is a little outdated and needs updating tbhwy...

It'll work fine the rooting parts but you might wanna read a bit before flashing a JB ROM as this was aimed towards the ICS ROMS I was flashing att.
[HTC One X] Benatio99:
Hope to clarify somethings prior to starting this process... I'm moving to custom ROM due to the carrier ICS update bricking my OneX. I can't send back for warranty as need the data more than I need the Warranty.

Read in an earlier post that unlocking bootloader would wipe data but I've had response in a Q&A that this would not be the case and Custom recovery would allow me to mount media/sdcard to recovery data? I've read in various post and from HTC themselves that the factory reset may or maynot wipe the /sdcard :(

Also as I have a dead ROM do I have to follow the steps to 'root' the phone prior to flashing a custom ROM after I've unlocked and flashed CWM?

The current ROM state is hard to guess and as I don't have a working ROM I have no idea what code it's on (Optus AUST) but the fastboot getvar version-main gives 2.17.980.6 so I'm not sure I can find a RUU either...

For those of you who need help with Permission, these are the steps to enable you to change the Registry settings.

Click Edit > Permissions. Click Advance and change Owner from System to your own user name, then Apply, then OK. Add your username into the "Groups and user names" under Security. Give yourself Full Control. Click Apply and then OK.

Now edit the Registry. You may also want to revert back to default settings by Removing your username under Security. Then go Advance, change Owner to "System" and click OK.

I just turned off internet, click on activate (after I changed product key) and the activate by phone came available. I called them, and using the automated system, I got my 9200 build RTM Pro activated! When it asked how many computers I installed it on, I replied 1.

Removed watermark and I have my very own activated version of Win 8 RTM Pro! I'm putting on my Laptop next!
[Windows 8 General] chaddeus:
I am assuming that the above work by extending the activation period. So the usual rearm takes about 90 days and you can do up to three times but this one basically extend it to whatever days you want.

It doesn't work if you just change the settings. You need to rearm it. Google it on how to rearm your OS

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilesAeon:
Hey All,

So I have had a pretty bad run of tablets here in the Salt Lake Valley. Not sure If its because of the way they are transported through the valley or maybe my Best Buy(s) have gotten bad shipments. Here is my track record thus far:

Purchase 1: Soft Spot under Left Speaker, Caused bad creaking whenever you gripped the left side of the tab.

Exchange 2: Perfect Case (I was so excited), But... had Bad speakers (Made crackling/popping noises when sounds were played after about 5 seconds of sleep)

Exchange 3: Back Panel of the entire tab was loose.. I could physically wiggle the back plate Very freaky.

Exchange 4 (My Current device): Speakers are great, but the bottom of the tablet (mostly the left side and the area around the Charging port) "Snaps" or clicks... Like maybe the case wasn't secured there.

So I am going to ask you all this, Should I try one more exchange, or should I just settle for this small defect and hope it doesn't become something of a larger problem. It DID take an unusually long time to charge to full power (Almost 12 hours from 22% to 100%), However, I have read that due to the huge battery in these things than compared to the GalaxyTab 10.1 could be the primary cause of that.

Anyhow, your input is greatly appreciated. The Clicking on the bottom anytime I pick this thing up gnaws at me... I hate to think I paid 500 Bucks for a ton of defects... My other main worry is if the case is loose or something that I will end up with Dust under my screen.

Thanks so much everyone!

Miles
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmunho:
You might consider purchasing from a different place. Amazon has a good return policy and pay shipping on returns if it's defective.

I've been surprised at the lack of complaints so far, so I think in general the qc is pretty decent.

Charging should not take that long. I plugged mine in last night around 10 and it was charged at 6am. That was from 7% with the stock charger. Use the task manager to close apps and don't use it while you charge it. If you use it while you charge it will take a long time.

It sounds like you went beyond your means to buy something you can't afford and are looking for reasons to return it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilesAeon:
I'm not looking to return... I really love this device and just feel for 500 bucks it should be as close to perfect as it can be. I'm just wondering if exchanging it again is worth it, or if I should just live with the small defect. I really do love Samsung and its Devices, as I am upgrading from a Galaxy Tab 10.1. However, for the few I have tried so far, the defects have been pretty large... So to keep an item with a faulty speaker or a a Bad case seems slight silly to me for 500 dollars.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilesAeon:
Thanks so far everyone. I think you're probably all right and letting these little faults get into my mind is probably the worst part. Seeing as this is the only "Computer" I have I suppose I do look awfully hard for perfection, mostly out of worry. I travel a lot and have chosen the tablet as my primary means of communication and such over a laptop. While Work provides me a laptop for work... They often time swap it out or give me hassles over its use for personal means. And since I travel so much I don't see much point in carrying two laptops or having a Desktop at home I can't take with me... Plus I have a 2 year old with another on the way.. so Being portable is extremely important to me as well. I spend most my time at home with my Son and thus being able to whip out my Tablet somewhere and check my emails and such from a small messenger bag is perfect.

Thank you again everyone for your input and perhaps I will just keep this one and let the little click go. It doesn't seem to be an issue as far as I can tell, just a minor annoyance.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
OT but I just have to laugh at you younger folk thinking $500 is a lot to pay for technology of this level.

My first cell phone cost $1200 on contract. My first Pentium laptop was $3500. The first Razor flip phone (that wasn't even a smart phone) was $500 on contract.

Don't get thrown off by comparing the $200 7 inch models to this. I have a 7 inch tablet. It is a big phone basically. I found myself surfing the web on my E4GT as often as I did on my tablet. Now that I've bought the SGN10.1, I haven't picked up my phone once to surf the web (except when I was away from home).

The 10.1 inch real estate with the s-pen makes this tablet a workhorse at only $500.

** Sorry you are having such bad luck dude. My first SGN10.1 had light bleed on the bottom left hand corner so I feel your pain. My second one was perfect though so I guess I got lucky.
