Don't worry about the "development purposes only" message, that is just HTC's message that the bootloader has been unlocked. Try the latest nightly for CM 10, or one of the other ROM's that are kicking around. You'll need to flash the boot.img separately via fastboot, unless you install a ROM with an Aroma installer (as it does some chicanery to write to the kernel partition), Viper XL is the only one I can think of off hand that uses the aroma installer.

The easiest thing to try would be to go to Settings -> about phone -> cyanogenmod updates -> update types -> new versions including nightlies ... but this will chew your data plan if you don't have wifi available.

The other option is to download it onto your computer and then connect the phone to the computer to copy it across (either by mounting the sdcard or by using the adb push command).

A few people have had issues with CM10 and wifi, maybe try out a few different ROM's and see what floats your boat.

Hi again :)

First, thank you for trying to help me.

Unfortunately. I could'nt solve the problem ..

I Flashed the latest version of CM 10 (without boot.img) and the wifi problem persisted. So I tried another rom.

-First CM 10.1 (stuck HTC logo)

-Then CleamRom (With AROMA installer) (Stuck in nexus 7 Boot animation and continuous reboot ...)

Without results ... I Tried update the recovery and flash the boot.img for ROM needed,

I follow the tutorial perfectly ... However, there is a problem. Everytime I try to flash the recovery or boot.imf, it appears:

"fastboot flash boot boot.img

sending "boot" (5286 KB)

FAILED (DATA TRANSFER FAILURE) ( Unknow error)

Finished. total time 0,015s "

I look at my phone and see that the bootloader is stuck. So I have to turn off the phone by pressing power for 10 seconds.

I do the same procedure. and the same thing happens again and again ...

What am I doing wrong? Help please ...:(

Im using a Mac. And when I submit my unlock token to htcdev, I follow the steps after getting the email and saving the file. One of the steps says to type "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" in the command terminal to accept the token and unlock my bootloader. When I do it, it says "file not found"... :confused::confused::confused:

Is there a way to just root without unlocking the bootloader??? Root as in just have the superuser app. I don't need custom ROMs... :confused:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] codeprimate:
1)do you have the latest drivers/adb/fastboot for your operating system?

2) when you plug the phone into the computer is it in fastboot mode? (it will say "fastboot and then "fastboot usb" on the bootloader screen if it's detecting correctly)

3) for some ROM's you may need to factory reset (in TWRP - not in bootloader or you'll munge your sdcard).

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Bob in Northern NJ:
Answer to What Am I Doing Wrong

1. Make sure that your phone is set to USB Debugging Mode, ON or has the check in the box for USB Debugging. This is found under your phones settings menu.

2. Make sure that when you are flashing, that you have booted your phone into bootloader, and that it is hooked up to the computer via USB, and is in Fastboot mode.

3. Make sure that the boot image file you are trying to flash is actually named boot.img.

4. Make sure that your boot.img file is in the same location on your PC as where you have fastboot.exe installed.

As far as flashing the ROM goes, are you wiping cache and Delvik Cache first before flashing?

Questions:(

I'm trying to root my phone with the all in one toolkit method and when I choose "Unlock bootloader" and click on the Unlock code to unlock it and cmd simply sits there.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 008freak:
decided to post again after searching through the Q&A for a few pages.

So I have my at&t HTC 2.20.502.7 710RD, hboot 1.14. I'm on Win7 64 bit. I've used both the all-in-one and x-factor exploit. but It keeps failing after the two restores. More specifically, after the second restore, I press enter, I get a some data transfer then it gives a [-] Failure instead of the [+] Set CID. I've read both dev threads (every page) and done searches in the Q&A and can't come to any conclusion as to why it's failing. I've also factory reset my phone through the bootloader. All to no avail.

Thanks for any insight.

UPDATE: Solved by switching to an old win xp laptop. I wasn't getting the "preparing sim card" after each restore. That's all i noticed.

did not flash boot.img

I rooted my phone using hasson's all-in-one toolkit and installed viper xl rom using twrp. In this process i did not flash boot.img. The rom installed properly without any issue. My question is, do I have to flash boot.img now? Will there be problems in the future if I install OTA updates from Venom?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
ViperXL should flash boot.img for you in AROMA. But I think results have been a bit mixed, and some people have had to flash boot.img manually.

Did you boot the phone? If it works, you are good to go. If it gets stuck on the boot screen, then flash boot.img using fastboot.

Don't think OTA updates would be affected. Turge knows lots of people are on hboot 1.14 and later. Not sure, but if there is a kernel change, my guess is that it would go out as a full ROM, and not an OTA.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sanimagus:
Yes, my phone properly booted into viper. It stayed on boot screen for over 5 mins but it did boot up eventually.

Thanks for answering my noob questions. I will follow the steps more carefully next time.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Long boot time the first time you startup after flashing a new ROM is normal. It should boot quickly from now on.

Its a fair question. AROMA tells you that it will flash boot.img automatically, as is intended. But for some people it doesn't work that way for some reason. The whole hboot version and boot.img issue is a bit confusing in general. So the question is fair IMO.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] oranget:
Guess it just depends on the phone. Usually Venom ROMS install the boot image for you... but sometimes, and i dunno why, you have to fastboot flash the boot image... strange....just depends on the phone i guess.

I have an AT&T HTC One X and I'm tired of waiting for the Jelly Bean update so after searching the web I ran into this website...

I tried reading this sticky but still feel uncomfortable about how I should root the device. Is there a reliable video that walks you through it step by step on how to root this particular device?

Thanks in advance guys, hopefully I'll become comfortable enough w/ this stuff one day and be able to reap from the amazing forum members written instructions/contributions w/out having to request for videos.

Keep reading :) good to have you on board. This thread has a lot of great information. Just make sure to stay away from "endeavour HTC oneX ". as you do your research, if you develop questions check the q&a section. feel free to ask questions in there if you don't find the answer.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] hero913:
Thanks for the heads up!!!

BTW, why the caution about endeavour? Are they putting out bad info about the device resulting in getting the device bricked or inoperable?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
You mentioned you have a att one x. Att one x = the HTC ONEXL. The actual HTC ONE X is the endeavor or quad core variant. Yours is a dual core "evita" different hardware for each. So flashing a endeavor patch, ROM etc will brick your device. We would much rather you ask what you might think is a stupid question than turn you phone into a expensive paperweight. So thank you for asking!

Now I'm reading about changing the radio, hboot, etc.

Its not all that bad... Lol. Most custom ROMs have there own kernel's and radio built in so no worries there. You on the right track. We have s-off now also bonus!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Kernels yes, radios no. Custom ROMs will typically not touch the radio.

---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------

You're pretty much correct.

What you need to do to flash custom ROMs if you are presently on 2.20 is:

Temp-root using X-factor

SuperCID

Unlock bootloader

Install TWRP

Install a custom ROM

Flash boot.img using fastboot (or Flash Image GUI)

Flashing radios is purely optional. Downgrading hboot is only if you want to be skip the boot.img step above every time you flash a new ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
No need to downgrade hboot now that we have s-off. Numerous people have confirmed that s-off removes the kernel flashing issue with 2.2x and later.

Stuck in boot screen loop

It was seeming to be such a good day. I ran the X_Factor exploit and had the phone rooted. I flashed TWRP recovery. I installed Super SU. I downloaded Titanium Back Up (with the Key that I purchased with my last rooted phone). Then I wanted to flash the AOKP ROM with gapps. Went through the steps described in this thread. After mounting the sd card so I could move the ROM and gapps to the phone. I couldn't unmount, saying a program was still using the drive/device. I closed all open programs and still got an error message. Shut down the PC completely (probably the wrong thing to do). Then I was in TWRP recovery and ran the factory reset under wipe. And flashed the ROM with gapps through the recovery program. Now it's stuck in a loop of the HTC boot screen (which shows the warning about it being a build for development purposes only). It goes off for 30 seconds then comes back on for maybe 30 seconds. I plugged it in to the PC to see if there were any hope of recognizing it in adb or fastboot (no) and it kept trying to install drivers for the new hardware.

Any chance of getting this back into operational mode. This guide was very helpful and I read everything. A user mentioned a similar problem around page six of the thread. He was told to hold down the power button and the volume down button to get to fastboot. That doesn't work. That has never worked for me. When I hold the buttons down the arrow, home, and recent apps buttons start flashing, but nothing happens.

Thanks in advance,

RB

EDIT: I was able to get adb to recognize the phone this morning. It wasn't turning on, so I plugged it in. The PC tried loading drivers for it, so I checked if it was in the adb devices list. It was and I was able to reboot into the bootloader and then switched to recovery. Now I'm scared to do anything. I have to let it charge back up (battery was down to 3%) but then I'm not sure if I should restore from my back-up or try to reflash the AOKP ROM
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Not being able to get into hboot/bootloader is virtually

always

a matter of the user just not performing the button sequence incorrectly. People always just say "hold power and volume down", but that's really an incomplete description. If the phone is in a bootloop, or stuck "on", the best way is:

Hold power and volume down for a few seconds (about 5 sec) until the capacitive buttons flash, and keep holding. The phone will power off. Once the screen is black, release the power button (keep holding volume down) then press power button for 3 seconds and release. Keep holding volume down (shouldn't have release it at any point in the sequence so far) until the white hboot screen comes up.

This should work every time. From the hboot screen, you can go into fastboot mode, or boot into recovery.

Sounds like your original problem, is you just forgot to flash boot.img when you flashed the ROM.

What hboot version?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ravenbrand:
Thanks, the videos I had seen that demonstrate it (on non-AT&T versions, I'm sure) make it look simpler. If I need to try again, I'll use your better instructions. I have it in recovery now.

I thought I had flashed the boot.img. I used the fastboot flash boot boot.img command with the boot.img extracted from the AOKP ROM. Hboot on my phone is 1.14.0002. Does that help?

Thanks again,

RB
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ravenbrand:
I tried flashing the boot.img file again. This is what happened, which I'm fairly certain means I did it correctly:

I put the ROM.zip file and the gapps.zip file on the phone's storage. I wiped dalvik cache, system, and factory reset. I chose the ROM.zip and gapps.zip files to install. The feedback from the phone said the install was successful. When I went to reboot into the system, Recovery said that the phone did not appear to be rooted. Recovery asked if I wanted to install SuperSU now. I tried that and it said it failed to copy SU binary to system/bin.

One question I can't find a clear answer for is, should the ROM.zip file not have boot.img in it anymore. Should I unzip the file, take boot.img out, rezip the file, then move that to the phone and install that version?

Thanks for the continuing help,

RB
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ravenbrand:
Whoops, I should have wiped Dalvik cache and factory reset, but not the system. I did it all again (flashed boot.IMG, put the ROM and gapps on my phone, booted into recovery and installed the those two files*) and it worked.

*I also flashed the updated SuperSU.zip to take care of the apparent lack of root. I wonder if that was from wiping the system?

Thanks for the great thread to help with rooting my phone.

Quick question, I have my bootloader on, and my CID is 111111111 and can anyone tell me or point me to a thread showing me how to change my Cid back to stock CWS__001?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Adiventure:
Just how "back to stock" can you get after utilizing the x-factor exploit? I've been on 2.2 since I got a refurbished phone from the att service center, and have hesitated to unlock it since my understanding is that would screw any chance of further warranty service. With the OTA out I am considering that, but if it patches the previous exploit I will consider rooting now. Is it possible to return far enough to stock to get warranty service?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Its been confirmed by several members that x-factor does not work on the JB OTA.

AT&T reserved the right to deny your warranty if you are bootloader unlocked. But in reality, they don't enforce it. Many here have gotten warranty service on their phones that are bootloader unlocked. I think a few folks have even sent in phones with CM10 and other custom ROMs on them, with no problems. I haven't read of any reports of AT&T denying warranty service for modded phones. HTC is more strict, so just make sure you go through AT&T if you need warranty repair.

Before S-off was achieved, the safest thing to do (before returning the phone for warranty) was RUU back to stock, then the only thing not stock was the RELOCKED flag in bootloader. With S-off, I think its possible to return totally to stock (change to LOCKED flag in bootloader). But again, it doesn't really matter from all I've read.
