Thanks to abhipati, Inflated Titan, and others. I had a number of problems flashing my ROM after using the newly created 2.20 root method (woohoo! I was so close to selling my HOX and getting a used Gnex), but your answers to noobs' questions helped me out a lot. Thanks!

I have a question about TWRP for people that rooted using the new exploit for 2.20: will restoring a backup work for us if the kernel is different?

Say someone installed CM10 and made a full backup in TWRP. Then, they wanted to try a ROM with an OCed custom kernel, so they flashed the boot.img of the new ROM and installed the ROM in recovery.

But, if they were to switch back to CM10, they have the CM10 backup ready to go - but instead of doing a restore entirely in TWRP, they would first have to flash the CM10 boot.img, and THEN restore their CM10 backup through TWRP, correct?

Thanks!

I'm no noob, but am new to the hox and this is the first HTC phone I've owned that has no s-off. I had a question about whether or not to flash the kernel for every nightly on CM10 and the op answered my question. I will just look at the commits and if nothing kernel related is merged then no reason to flash the kernel.

Thanks for the useful thread bro and hopefully people will use it when they have questions.

Unlocked bootloader, now what?

I have a noob question: what happened to my data after I unlocked the bootloader? I knew it would wipe everything (which is fine, I just bought the phone) and was going to reinstall my apps and whatnot. but the "phone storage" is still full when looking in the settings, and photos and things are still there. My question is how to I get all my apps and stuff back?

Also, I have an HTC One XL on 2.20 and I unlocked the bootloader on a mac. I'm thinking ill just use that all-in-one toolkit on a PC for the rest of the process.

Thanks in advance,

-Eric

edit: one more quick question. Do I need to flash Android SDK to my computer and install ADB if I already have "adb.exe" included in the all-in-one toolkit?

Unable to mount /sdcard

I'm no pro at this, but I was able to research and find that reformatting the drive resolves this. First, mount the card in TWRP, then click My Computer and find the drive representing the card. Right click it and select 'format.' Select 'FAT32' for the file system, allocation unit size is 4096, uncheck Quick Format. Drop your zips onto the drive and you're on your way.

I'll thank Sir Dog Milk over at HTCEvoHacks for this.

I'm having problems running the XFactor root method. When I run the run.bat file, I keep getting stuck at "daemon started successfully" and it doesn't progress from there. This is what I see, and it doesn't progress from there. Additionally, there are two adb processes running in task manager, that both appear when run.bat is executed. If I end either of these processes while the .bat is running, I get messages prompting the backup confirmation, but with no response on the phone. And if I close the command window, one of the adb processes keeps on running, and if I run the .bat at this point it gets stuck at a "Waiting for device..." notice.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've checked multiple guides, used both the run.bat itself and the all-in-one toolkit, restarted my computer, factory reset my phone, checked the USB (and debugging IS on), updated HTC drivers and Java, and I still have no luck. Admittedly I am new to Android, but I can't understand what I'm missing at this point.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PhonoRoboto:
abhipati,

thanks for this guide! I think I may need some help (I really didn't think I was that remedial...but apparently so).

I rooted and unlocked the bootloader successfully. I installed TWRP. Made a back up using TWRP, even before I installed the permanent SU root file. All of the android SDK files/platform tools and HTC drivers were current.

I wanted to install AKOP. I followed your directions through #5. At that point, the CMD window said that the boot.img was successful (I don’t remember the exact wording). Next, as I typed “adb reboot recovery” I got an error that that the device was not recognized. I had not unplugged the device, rebooted or entered any other commands at that point.

Since the computer seemed to have stopped recognizing the phone, I wasn’t sure what to do, so I (probably wrongfully), toggled to reboot form the bootloader screen and attempted to reboot the phone.

Since then, the phone is stick in a boot loop. I cannot manually enter the boot loader to get to recovery. ABD commands continue to fail since the computer will not recognize the device. It does appear in the machine’s device manager (win 7 pro) as “unknown device”.

I did look at think you suggested for ppl who tried flashing international roms, no help there.

I would be really grateful if you, or anyone here, could offer some advice.

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Hold power button and volume down until the phone turns off, then let go of power but continue holding volume down. This will take you into the bootloader. You can then try to get into fastboot and reflash recovery
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PhonoRoboto:

THANKS! I had been trying that, but hadn't worked. I guess I wasn't pushing vol down hard enough or something. I'll gladly accept the idiot award today! Anyway....all set now and AKOP flash seems to have worked. thanks for quick reply!

Great Guide!

Thank you abhipati for this guide.

I used Hasoon2000's All-in-one toolkit for my 2.20 HTC One X ATT followed by your guide for Flashing custom rom. Now I am running Cyanogenmod 10 latest stable release. It is wonderful without all the HTC Sense bloat.

One question though. I got stuck at the adb command line during ROM flashing where the cmd prompt showed an error - device not found. I had to manually go into restore after loading the boot.img and then flash the cyanogenmod rom. Is there a fix for this? Btw, I am running Windows 8 32-bit on my PC.

UPDATE: Found a Fix for that.

You just flash these in recovery to change your system boot IMG. You can also customize you ROM boot IMG with these also from a file explorer with root privileges. :)

Unable to run full restore

I had problems running the exploit for firmware 2.20. It gets to the point of doing a full restore of the system but doesn't allow me to press "Restore my data".

There is no encryption on the phone or the backup file. I can press "Do not restore" with no problems. I can turn my screen sideways and it doesn't work either. I don't have the SIM card in the phone yet, I am not sure if that has anything to do with the problem though.

I have included a screenshot of where it gets to. I've searched around the forums and "googled", haven't found anyone that has had this problem.

Actually, many people do. They just happen to be the people that you don't hear a lot from. They get the answers and do what they want, then enjoy the results.

It is those who do NOT read such instructions that rant and rave and complain about things.

I just flashed by HTC One X for the first time and have the red text appear during boot. is this cause for concern or just the normal result of flashing? The first post in this thread states that it means I skipped a step, but other places on the forum indicate this is normal.

Is this OK?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Its perfectly normal. It will ALWAYS appear once you have a custom ROM installed. I forget exactly what causes this, but I think it will appear once you have a insecure kernel installed.

The guide means that if you get STUCK on the boot screen, then you forget to flash the boot.img.

If i made a backup, before restoring it do I have to flash the kernel specific to the back up I made?

edit: i have 2.2 firmware and nocturnal ROM
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Flashing a ROM won't wipe your data automatically. But if you try to keep user data across ROMs that are the least bit different, you are almost sure to suffer all manners of bugs, some possibly severe. Therefore, its highly recommended to wipe user data (factory reset in TWRP, but never in hboot which corrupts the SD card), and also wipe Dalvik and cache, whenever you flash a different ROM.

If you are updating from one version of a custom ROM to an update of that same custom ROM (for example, between CM10 nightlies), its usually safe to "dirty flash", meaning keep user data (no factory reset) but always wipe cache and Dalvik. But if you do run into any problems, reflash with a factory reset.

Before factory reset, you can backup your apps and app data using Titanium Backup. You can backup and restore app data in the free version of Titanium. But the paid version is well worth the few bucks, as the "pro" license gives you the ability to batch backup and restore all your apps all at one time with a couple taps.

Gmail and contacts should be synched to the cloud by default, but you can confirm this by logging into your Gmail account on your Mac.

You can backup SMS messages by a few different methods. I like using the free app SMS Backup+, which backs up SMS to Gmail.

Any other data (Email that is not on Gmail, etc.) should be backed up in some way before a factory reset. I would also recommend backing up photos, and anything else on the SD before flashing, just in case.

As long as you have double and triple-checked that you've cut and paste the token correctly, its probably just the website. You might have to sit tight until HTC gets the website back in working order, and try again later.

Question... coming from 1.73

Sort of related, but I bought the htc one x a year ago it had 1.73 base on it, I had it rooted with the one touch all in one root method, it unlocked me and had supersu on the phone, I was able to use wifi tethering.

My phone updated itself to 2.20 while I was at work on its own and it still has supersu and everything there but my guess is it broke it? I cant really figure out how I can either start over or re-work the root for 2.20.

If it's locked then you can just go ahead with the RUU, the relock is just for those who have an unlocked bootloader
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
All that factory reset does is delete user data partition. Its not going to restore your old ROM, or anything like that, if that is what you are asking.

Furthermore, there is a bug in hboot, where if you try to do a factory reset in hboot/bootloader, it will corrupt the SD card. So simply don't do it. Run the RUU if you want to start over, as previously posted.
