Well, i'm fairly new to this device, but from what i've learned, the chinsese rom is optional if you have s-off, as s-off let's you to access all the partitions, system and other things you need.

Maybe i'm wrong, that's why i've started this thread, i think this is easier, and softbricking a phone with Android seems almost impossible to me...as i said, to me :)
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
Yeah I know the chinese rom is optional, but as I said from my point of view, once I'd flashed the chinese rom, I didn't manage to softbrick the phone where as before when I was trying various ports I managed to softbrick it a few times. Just my opinion and what I'd noticed with my device...

As for s-off mine (although broken) is still s-on and I've never felt the need to make it s-off. Again just my opinion ;)
[HTC Sensation XL] Lexmazter:
Well, i know what youre pointing at, i was just wandering when i first read te forum, why on earth should i install a Chinsese ROM when i will change it anyways for a new ROM...so the boot.img is a different one in the custom one, and other things.

I'm not so expeirenced with S-Off/On, as this is my first HTC phone i have and changed ROM :) (not too many HTC's in my area), but from what i've read online, S-Off is the best road to take to ensure you don't softbrick your phone, as you have the real "Full Control" over the Device and the ROM parts you can flash, like you, this is my opinion, a begginers opinion :)

Hi Lexmazter,

Thanks for making this guide, it is easy to follow. But I'm stuck at a small point and face below response; -

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Please let me know where did I do wrong? Thanks.

My steps were: -

factory reset

root via DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT

titanium backup worked and restore all apps and settings

unclocked the bootloader from htcdev.

all data gone, no more, like factory reset again

superuser app still exist, didn't root again

booted and rooted as you said

connect PC to phone via USB in charge mode only.

run your tool

doing select 5 Flash HBOOT S-OFF Unprotected (via adb) - choose hg hi both failed - but face above message 3 repeat lines.

reboot to bootloader FASTBOOT, >>>>>USB<<<<< appear

UNLOCK at top also appear

then select 4 Flash Recovery. (via fastboot) - then choose rei reg both failed - but face above message. 1 line.

Hope can teach me, thank you very much in advance.

And I'm sure I didn't do something right before hand.
[HTC Sensation XL] Lexmazter:
Extract the contents of the archive in C:/ and try again, it is most likely because you are running from a folder that has spaces (" ").
[HTC Sensation XL] cx5:
Thanks for replying so quickly, some questions before sleep tonight.

I moved the folder to c:\xmtool and run as administrator as usual. But without connecting the phone, and select 5 flash H boot. The 3 repeat message appear still. Hahah, may be I want to test in theory.

Anyway, reading more more other post and try again this weekend.

Thanks !!!! many of your post and reply has been insightful.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Suggest that you clean slate the device ...including format of the emmc .

Then reload the rom ..

Remember to move all data you want to keep too PC ...

Unless you aren't formatting the external card ...then put it there ...

This will at least tell you if it's a dirty flash or not ....and you might try a good stock type build to confirm you don't have digitizer issues ...g

download it onto your device, boot into your custom recovery, select it, then flash it. after, boot up. do not wipe a thing. no data wipe, no cache wipe, and no dalvik cache wipe. these kernels are in a flashable zip form. if you flash a rom, youll have to reflash the kernel too.

I rooted my phone with the quick root tool from noxious Nina. I want to flash a new kernel so overclocking is capable. can I just install and run the vzw ez unlock from the play store or do I have to completely flash a new Rom and all on my phone? any help would be appreciated. thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] edwards311:
The EZ unlock tool works great!!! Just make sure you flash the correct kernel.... AOSP kernel for AOSP base ROMs and a stock/touchwiz kernel for stock/touchwiz ROMs. Most of the ROMs floating around have a kernel built in specific to that ROM. Happy flashing and make a nandroid before anything!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crackerhacker:
I have everything backed up with TB. do you know of a good stable stock Rom kernel that can be overclocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] edwards311:
Synergy is stable and good. I have been running that since the beginning. I am gonna jump to ParanoidAndroid this weekend since most of the bugs have been worked out. You can search around for the most compatible OC apps and methods. I normally leave things be unless I need to change them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crackerhacker:
Ok soooooooooooo I have another question. I'm looking at flashing clean kernel. I want to use vzw ez recovery. Has any one done just a kernel with this app and how did you do it. Just select your image and click flash or reboot recovery. I have done research on this but I have yet to find a solid answer on how to do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] edwards311:
I normally just reboot to CWM and flash away.... I don't use EZ for anything other than choosing recovery and unlocking the bootloader. If you're not on a custom ROM you can use EZ to boot into recovery after flashing the recovery of your choice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crackerhacker:
So if I use ez and flash into COM 6.0 then I can go into download mode with vol up home and power then just boot to any Rom that way?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 95talondsm:
I don't know if it still applies but you aren't supposed to flash kernels with ez recovery.. I did that once and got stuck in a boot loop. That should be used for recoveries only. Use that to flash cwm and go to where you downloaded your kernel..most likely your download folder and flash it. But as stated before make sure your kernel applies to your ROMs tw=tw aosp = aosp no crossing. I personally still use cwm 6 although that was a recovery for kexec methods..it can still be used...for flashing ROMs make sure you know if you have to wipe data and cache as well. You can get into some nasty boot loops and bricks if you don't. I personally do a nandroid and then wipe everhthing then flash a new ROM...just a force of habit. I hope this helps..hit the thanks button if this helps you at all.

---------- Post added 4th September 2012 at 12:06 AM ---------- Previous post was 3rd September 2012 at 11:59 PM ----------

Also to add to your question..you flash ROMs from cwm recovery. Download mode is used for Odin to flash stock ROMs and stock rooted ROMs. To boot into cwm from an off state its power volume up and home at the same time. From there back up using the backup option and once that is complete wipe data/wipe cache then go to install zip from SD card or ext SD card wherever you downloaded the new rom and flash that and don't panic if your phone doesn't boot up right away (hanging at the boot animation screen) the first boot always takes the longest.

[HTC One X] Manni.k:
i tried searching the forum but couldnt find any info on it.

the external speaker on the htc one x stopped working but if you tap the back casing the speaker works for few hours and then the problem comes back again. i tried flashing a new rom it works for a bit and and then had the same problem again. is there any suggestions what could be done to solve this issue?
[HTC One X] chaun1308:
Maybe you got a defected HOX ??
[HTC One X] Manni.k:
found the fix. it was the contacts that connects the speaker module to the board, may be the contacts( the same type of pins that caused the wifi issue) on my HOX got pressed too much i guess, probably going to solder the pins when i get home as of now have it taped up for the testing
[HTC One X] glukosio:
i had the same problem when i openned my HOX, after closing, back button led and speaker didn't work, i disassembled and reassembled again and it works, so watch out if you'll open it!
[HTC One X] chaun1308:
I see ... Hope you get it fixed then :P
[HTC One X] Manni.k:
soldered all four connection, did a test didnt work so i played with the speaker connection a bit and it worked. i guess the speaker had a loose connection or something as of now placed a bit of masking tape and closed the housing. working so far now. i guess the problem is with the chip where speaker is plugged

Had the exact same problem, although it degraded to the point that tapping the grille only brought sound back for a second in the end.

Got HTC to repair it along with the wifi.

Not likely... :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
Not happening. You are thinking Android here. Unless by unlocked you don't mean them revealing their source code instead just leaving it open to tweak i.e. access to registry?

Either way, XDA is the last place MSFT want advice from and petitions don't make any impact on this software giant.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dazza9075:
sad but true.

It'll never happen, you have to remember that the OS hasn't been cracked at all on any device, theres a good reason for that, they did a pretty good job in locking it down, and they did that for a good reason, WM gave MS a really bad name, the irony is, it was nothing to do with MS, it was OEMs and Networks that screwed with the OS and MS took all the heat I mean, lets take the HD or the HD2, sub par graphics? must be WM fault and nothing to do with the QC and HTC not getting their act together and handing out the drivers!

On top of that and probably more significantly, a secure locked down OS makes others very happy, govenments, developers (too an extent) it also keeps idiots from buggering up their OS and helps keep malware and all sorts of other nasties at bay

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ackliph:
They gave us the source. But if we mod/fix it, it won't work on our phones correct? Or did they unlock the bootloader?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
those of us with Root and unlocked bootloaders can use custom kernels.

Wait so custom kernels for 4.0.4!?!??!?!?!?!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ackliph:
I guess I just don't understand why they would give us the source if we can't legitimately use it. Everyone who is rooted/unlocked did it without HTC's consent. Are we supposed to find bugs (without testing?) then submit them to HTC so they can place them in the latest update? Essentially doing the work of their developers?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PatriotXT92:
By law they are required to provide kernel source.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
I really hope the devs really work on this and poop out a lot of new stuff.. the forum been kind of drury recently. When 4.0.3 was released it seemed as though every jizzed themselves twice.

EDIT: here: https://github.com/rohanmathur/evita-kernel-source-htc

Feel free to fork
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] samlingx:
My understanding is that by the time the previous kernel source was released, it was already outdated as roms were being built on 4.0.4 instead of 4.0.3. With this, we're up to date at least until 4.1 drops.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ackliph:
So I'm guessing this new kernel release does not help us get root? I knew I should have bought a Nexus or an S3. I knew it, I knew it, I knew it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
exploits have everything to do with the write protection on the filesystem and nothing to do with source.

Until we find an exploit that gives is write access to /system which will allow us to inject root access, there will be no root access.

This will come one of 3 ways

1) an actual file system exploit that gives write access to /system

2) sanctioned bootloader unlock from AT&T/HTC

3) S-off

you can root a Samsung phone because it doesn't have a locked bootloader

you can root a Nexus phone because you can unlock the bootlaoder without a key.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ackliph:
I never realized it was all this hard. I used to have an Inspire 4g. LOVED the thing. Easy to root and mod. Anyway, enough off topic. Yay we have kernel. Ugh it does me no good.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
The Inspire was hard to root too back in the day. :D Compared to the One X its a piece of cake.

It's actually harder to get root now because HTC unlocks bootloaders and those of us with phones excluded on HTC Dev have fewer people to work on getting root.

( A million times better than i could have done) None of the really nice stuff like sweep to wake. But maybe not much features because it was old?? :fingers-crossed: for some kernel love! Can't wait to get back some overclocking! And hopefully sweep to wake. I wish caulk would release his multi tasking fix for use in other roms too.

Or you could say only US base has the linkify and tethering issues.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vendetta-NY:
Say it any way you want, what is being sought by more than a few here is a stock 2.20 experience, minus the bloat and linkify, plus tethering.
