Whats better?

Well I cant use the apps I mentioned in JB, but that is a 3rd party reason, the other main thing is use of MTP over proper USB Mass Storage Mode connection.

HTC have removed the "Connect to PC" option which allowed the One XL to mount as a USB Mass Storage device which which great for the car audio system I use, my Sony deck (touch screen) cant read MTP mode.

So yeah hence why I am asking for assistance to downgrade back to ICS, preferably ICS 4.0.4 2.70 for the One XL also the modem radio is is now worse in both 3G dual band 850/2100 and in 4G 1800 ...

I used to get RSCP -55 HSPA+ at home now I am lucky to get RSCP -105 HSDPA and its not the network as my Galaxy S II (the I9100T variant) with actually the stock I9100 XSA 4.0.4 firmware gets RSCP -55 HSPA+ here.

So yeah While JB is smooth and all that to me its a downgrade in performance hence why I am asking for help to change the bootloader back to HBOOT 1.14 and thus re-instal the RUU_EVITA_UL_Telstra_WWE_2.70 firmware again.

Any help is very much appreciated as HTC have told me to basically they are not going to help.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
I cant find where you mentioned apps that do not work. I can understand your issue with the change to USB. Perhaps that can be overcome with a build.prop change?

Eg:

persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb

Or get a rooted 3.17 and try some of the usb mass storage enabling apps on the Play Store.

Or wait for a dev to make a kernel that will make this work :)

There was no 2.70 version, it was 2.40 previously with Telstra.

You have all the below available to you.

Perhaps with Jet and some other trickery you could get back to 1.89 then update forwards to 2.40. You would really be one of the first users to try it and may kill your phone. You need to manage the hboot and current software version checks at very least.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
You can't use the ota to roll back like this. It does not even help much going forwards versions with your phone locked. You would need the phone to get the download itself.

Ruu would be your only hope, and your 2.14 hboot will not accept the 2.40 Ruu (which is not publically available) as it only has 1.14 hboot.

There is 100% no chance you can downgrade your phone without unlocking it even if the 2.40 Ruu was available, which it isn't.

There is only very minimal chance you can downgrade even after unlocking it.

Ps your OP says you are running 3.70, is that right or is it just 3.17?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] egr02:
Thats what I thought, stupid HTC and Telstra for screwing up, the phone in short is screwed with the JB update, tonight could not get any signal from the network to it whereas with ICS 4.0.4 it worked 100% in the same spot the previous month and again its not the network as my other Andorid devices are working A1.

One XL RSCP -110 UMTS v Galaxy Note RSCP -60 HSPA+, and this is supposed to be a blue tick (means works in regional/rural areas without need for external antenna) handset.

Do you have any idea if and when the public RUU 2.40 will be able to download? then again if it wont work with HB 21.4 then how do I go about changing the HBOOT back to 1.14? Again I have no idea with HTC, they have to make it hard unlike Samsung, hell I would rather make changes to LG Qualcomm based Brew OS and install that firmware using Qualcomm Tools 4.5 or use Phoenix to change firmwares on my spare Nokia N8 then try to figure out how to mod this HTC device.

HTC advised me to go back to the dealer (it was bought online so that rules that out), made a call to Telstra, they said not our problem go to HTC, HTC said go back to dealer, in other words chasing my tail like a dog would going in circles, as a last resort I made a call to a authorized service centre, they said cant be done under warranty but can be done for a price, they want something like *$350 AUD to downgrade it (seriously fonebiz), obviously my company said no and I cant change the handset either as need 4G support.

So you can see why I am trying to find a solution to fixing HTC and Telstra created issues via these forums.

Again any assistance would be greatly appreciated

*the $350 would b e to replace the mainboard with a new mainboard that has 4.0.4 ICS on it already but with a blank IMEI and as such they would flash the NAND NV with the numbers from the replaced mainboard ... also this would also end Warranty for the handset by HTC and only provide warranty by Fonebiz for 3 months on the replaced mainboard ...

As I dont own the handset I cant take that option, which is why I cant root or unlock it to use CFW, believe me if I did I would of done it ages ago, which is why I dont know anything about HTC as my personal handsets are from Samsung (much easier to modd IMHO).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] egr02:
I have uploaded two screen grabs.

ARGHHHH, To many numbers going through my head right now,

According to the Software info:

Version: Android 4.1.1

Sense: Sense 4+

Software Number: 3.17.841.2

HTC SDK API Level: 4.63
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
All the other numbers don't matter. Just the hboot 2.14 and the build 3.17.

It is unlikely the 2.40 Ruu will leak. Not all always leak. You could ask in places that Ruu leaks are found though. Often they need to be purchased on the black market. Plus the Ruu is useless to you unless you unlock and start forcefully downgrading things.

You are wasting your time unless you unlock, use jet to downgrade the hboot and alter the software build to 1.00.

Or buy a new main board.

Or live with the new update. Use a usb stick for $7 for the radio or Bluetooth or buy a new head unit.

No idea about coverage personally I did not see it decrease because of the update. But it is what it is. If you purchased from Telstra you would have a leg to stand on complaining.

Samsung devices are not all rosey and good. There is a long list of variants of s2 and s3 which you can't do squat with.

Your HTC one xl has options you can try but you are choosing not to do them.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] christopher.t.r:
Simply call the complaints dept at Telstra, explain that the latest ota has made the phone useless to you (not support they're useless). They will most likely credit the account or offer to swap you to a different blue tick device, it's a shame they're aren't any good ones :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
The one xl is a blue tick device. The user has supplied their own phone, it was not purchased from Telstra. I doubt they will offer a new handset.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] egr02:
Where do I find JET from?

The handset is from Telstra it was purchased online though Telstra website so there is no dealer, Telstra have said they don't help neither will HTC.

The One XL over the Galaxy Note? The Gnote other than not having 4G radio is simply better and again much easier to flash what ever stock ROM you want, simply use the new updates Check_Fus program find your model and download straight from Samsung server then use either old ODIN or need ODIN and flash what ever firmware or modem you want.

So being where XDA is supposed to be be great at providing technical advice and such I would of thought that people here would be willing and some have to help out and that others Herr with the One XL have been able to downgrade or go back to stock firmware and then help out those who don't know how ...

As for the USB options, putting on a USB KEY/PASSPORT device iss not a viable option at all, if that were the case I would not have brought it up here, I do a lot of driving way to much and am on the road a lot thus I need power and since 4G consumes vast ammounts the old way of USB would charge the handset (much faster than using cigarette lighter plug) also I don't get the static in the audik playback from the aux/lighter connection method.

So again is there anyone who can further help me out or do I simply sell the HTC and go buy another GNote (forget GNote2 no proper USB option and again apps that I use do not work in 4.1.1)

???
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
I have been trying to help. I have said what you could try to do several times, but you have never attempted to do it.

Comparing a Nexus device with a non-Nexus device when it comes to ease of customizing is pointless. That is the point of Nexus devices, if you wanted one you should have bought one??

If you purchased from Telstra, you have every right to complain to them that an update that they approved has significantly reduced the coverage of your phone without warning. Just claim you purchased the device due to it being blue ticked by Telstra and the range it offered in the areas you are using it in. Demand they offer a way to return your phone to its original coverage via a downgrade or another update.

1)You need to unlock. You have no chance of performing this unofficial software downgrade path without unlocking. If that is unacceptable, sell the phone.

http://www.htcdev.com

2)You likely want to use Jet to attempt to downgrade the hboot back to 1.09. You also get the bonus of supercid allowing using any RUU you want not just Telstra, so the lack of Telstra 2.40 RUU becomes less important, just use HK 2.42 RUU instead.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1982442

3)I believe you also need to fix up another version sitting on another partition that the RUU will check

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671135

4)Flash a RUU

Telstra 1.89 if you like:

RUU_Evita_UL_Telstra_WWE_1.89.841.9_Radio_0.18c.32.09.01_10.93a.32.20L_release_266699_signed.exe

Personally I would flash Hong Kong 2.42. It is 4.0.4 and should be able to install with hboot 1.09.

The Hong Kong 2.42 ROM is almost identical to Telstra 2.40.

RUU_EVITA_UL_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_HK_2.42.708.3_Radio_0.20os.32.09.15_10.113.32.28L_release_286715_signed.exe

I dont think anyone else has attempted downgrading the hboot 2.14 back to 1.09.

That is why there is no long list of users with previous experiences in doing it. You are the first, once you have got the answer you could tell everyone else how you went.

Good luck. :)

EDIT: Apparently someone else has tried this, it allowed him to flash 1.81 RUU (would not have been my pick but whatever) and it ended in bricking the phone.

Just a big fat warning :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ken bentley:
I would totally agree with this,take it up with Telstra if they don't come to the party lodge a complaint with the TIO .I have had issues with them with this phone, they replaced the first one because it did not perform to blue tick performance, This one was crap until I unlocked the boot loader and rooted,they offered to send it away and repair it but I told them what I had done to fix it, and they said if it was still no good in the future to let them know and the offer still stands.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] egr02:
After a very heated conversation with HTC they have agreed that they have a made an error in removing "Connect to PC" option thus proper USB Mass Storage Mode, in the future 4.1.2 update it will be returned, so success on that end, for the time being they have emailed me a letter to take to FoneBiz which advises FoneBiz that the One XL is to be reset to stock 4.0.4 2.40 Telstra ICS firmware free of charge to the owner.

It took 2 goes with HTC for HTC to admit they screwed up, as a sign of good faith they are also sending me a new One X+ since i took time to basically verbally belt the crap out them, which I have no intention of using as it will be up on Ebay for sale once it arrives.

So now I have to take One XL to FoneBiz to get it back to the way it was.

You can also thank for getting HTC to reverse a most silly decision of forcing owners to use MTP mode, it will still be there but proper USB Mass Storage mode will return in the next update (when ever that might be).

For the time being I am using my work Telstra SIM in my Galaxy Note and that SIM is being used in the One XL.

[Galaxy S III General] rockerblood:
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Apple Inc has agreed to withdraw patent claims against a new Samsung phone with a high-end display after Samsung said it was not offering to sell the product in the crucial U.S. market.

Apple disclosed the agreement in a filing on Friday in U.S. District Court in San Jose, California. Representatives for both Apple and Samsung declined to comment.

Last month Apple asked to add the Galaxy S III Mini and other Samsung products, including several tablet models, to its wide-ranging patent litigation against Samsung.

In response, Samsung said the Galaxy S III Mini was not available for sale in the United States and should not be included in the case.

Apple won a $1.05 billion verdict against Samsung earlier this year but has failed to secure a permanent sales ban against several, mostly older Samsung models. The patents Apple is asserting against the Galaxy S III Mini are separate from those that went to trial.

Samsung started selling the Mini in Europe in October to compete with Apple's iPhone 5. In its filing on Friday in U.S. District Court, for the Northern District of California, Apple said its lawyers were able to purchase "multiple units" of the Mini from Amazon.com Inc's U.S. retail site and have them delivered in the United States.

But Samsung represented that it is not "making, using, selling, offering to sell or importing the Galaxy S III Mini in the United States." Based on that, Apple said it agreed to withdraw its patent claims on the Mini, "so long as the current withdrawal will not prejudice Apple's ability later to accuse the Galaxy S III Mini if the factual circumstances change."

The case in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California is Apple Inc. vs. Samsung Electronics Co Ltd et al., 12-630.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daemos:
So, I'm looking to try out a CM10/AKOP based rom, but in the past on other devices I have strayed away because I use the stock Samsung alarm clock every day.

The features I like about the Samsung alarm clock are:

Adjustable snooze time and count

Smart Alarm which has a separate ring tone and is also time adjustable

Disables the lock screen to snooze and turn off the alarm

Doesn't ever get killed by anything (even though I don't run any app killers)

Doesn't have an ugly UI

I am looking for an alarm clock that can replace the stock one, I'd like to have all the features replaced, I also don't mind paying as long as it does what I need it to.
