Inquiry....

Hi,

Great Job on the tutorial. Just a quick question.

I have been using HTC Desire X for a few months and it comes to the point i was asking myself if i should root my phone, i had an wildfire before and i root it before, its all good, but i would like to know what are the good part of rooting my desire X this time? cause I just like to know if it worth for me to root it again like my previous phone. and what is the more suggested rom?

Thank you in advance:laugh:
[HTC Desire X] Stereo8:
If you want to, root... You have multiple benefits like customization, removing system apps... I suggest half sense as a transition between sense and AOSP...
[HTC Desire X] yorufujiwara:
additional question

how about the speed? will it be faster? im more concern on the speed.
[HTC Desire X] Stereo8:
Root won't get you more speed, just highest permissions on the system, you can modify any file...
[HTC Desire X] bedroom:
Hey fellow DX owners, just wanted to chime in and confirm what ranalakshay said, I didn't need to relock the bootloader to install the OTA update. But I _did_ lose root when I flashed Cobje's stock recovery.
[HTC Desire X] nlooooo:
Thanks for the intel, I'll rewrite the part about OTA as soon as I catch some more time, right now all I want is to sleep cause I work early in the morning.

But just to inform you, to run RUU you need to relock bootloader.
[HTC Desire X] michpan:
So, to recap, you don't need to relock the bootloader for OTA updates but you have to flash stock recovery first? And you'll lose root in the process?

[HTC Desire X] nlooooo:
Yes.

Just to make this to be near top so people can see it if they need it.

What are steps to back in stock rom ?

1.Lock boothloader

2.Flash the rom

3.Flash stock recorvery to can istall updates or ?

1.Flash the rom

2.Flash the stock recovery

3.Lock boothloader

or just to try the firs to see what will happend :D
[HTC Desire X] nlooooo:
I'm not sure what you're up to?

If you want to go back to fully stock just relock bootloader and flash RUU, if your phone is compatible, flashing of RUU will give you stock recovery.
[HTC Desire X] xRafiq-:
And what if you dont have a compatible RUU is their anyway of using another methos yo get everything back to stock? Btw i have HTC-044.

Sent from my Digital Lunchbox
[HTC Desire X] Stereo8:
If you have HTC_044 you can flash RUU. But for the reference, if you're not comatible with the RUU you ca flash your old nandroid or hasoon2000's stock ROM...
[HTC Desire X] nlooooo:
HTC_044 is not on the list of compatible models for 1.18.401.1 RUU. Just flash hasoons stock rom.
[HTC Desire X] Leon:
thats make me confuse...How to understand that my phone is compatible for 1.18.401.1 RUU ? Where have to look ?
[HTC Desire X] nlooooo:
Pay attention to the second post of tutorial, going back to stock, there's a link to a thread I made giving the info about RUU compatibility.

Hello. I did everything from step 1, so i successfully unlocked bootloader. Then i flashed recovery.img, and installed superuser 3.2, after reboot i can see it also in my apps list, but my phone is not rooted, i tried several apps, but each of them is saying your phone is not rooted. :( . I tried factory and again or i tried another recoverys, but still the same problem. If this could help i installed official update for JB 3 days ago, but i don ´t think this could change something.
[HTC Desire X] ckpv5:
JB update re-enabled the hTC Write Protection so root is not functioning properly.
[HTC Desire X] sralica:
I had the same problem after installing JB.

You have to use a new recovery.img by atis112.

Unlocking Question

Hi All,

Quick question, I just purchased a new HTC Desire X, ROM Software version 1.18.401.3.

I wanted to ask if the unlock tool works on this version.

Thanks,

Mack
[HTC Desire X] hcdav:
If you mean the bootloader unlock tool, yes it does.

If I were you I'd update to Jelly Bean before you do anything. You should be able to check software updates from your phone.

You have to flash the missing googleapps.zip and unroot manually before updating to jb if u use that backup
[HTC Desire X] jhon101:
Hey man, thanks for the instructions. Really helped.

I successfully unlocked my Bootloader and flashed the CWM from the first(out of the four) link. Made a backup as well.

Then, as I went on to flash The SuperUser file, it was completed successfully as well. When I rebooted from the recovery, I saw the 'Android is upgrading' popup.

When I installed a root app(Titanium backup) it still said 'Could not gain root access'. I am assuming my Desire X is still not rooted.

I have tried both Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip and Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip and both of them still didn't let me root.

I am on the JB Update.

Help me out?

it worked for me..i flashed SuperSU..not superuser

try flashing SuperSU..it will work.

---------- Post added at 11:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------

1.create a folder called stocktwrp in ur SD card..and copy all the files from which u downloaded.

2.Flash twrp recovery if you dont have twrp.

3.goto recovery, select restore and browse for the folder stocktwrp and restore.

4. Flash missinggoogleapps, unroot manually.

5. Flash stock boot.img and stock recovery.

6.update to jb
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
Otherwise, if you want to create a folder named twrp including the one with serial no., just flash recovery and start a backup. The folder will be created then and you can put the files there.

hmm i already installed htc sync manager before...now i tried it with the universal htc drivers and still "waiting for device".

maybe i have to do something with the phone? now it's plugged in and on fastboot usb.

edit: i finally got an unlocked bootloader, but now i got another problem... i can't install a recovery. for any reasons i can't open the sdk-manager and when i try to install twrp with the toolkit i get an error after i closed the first cmd.

Hello sir, I was on a stock ics rooted and unlocked rom and decided to update to jb, i've downloaded the update and i flashed the stock recovery.

When installing the update it went half way and then it stopped, a red triangle showed. Whats the issue?
[HTC Desire X] seryi363:
For install 1.18.401.1 RUU need to be done:

1.Install stock recovery

2.Relock bootloader

3.Run RUU in Fastboot mode

It should work if it is correct for your CID and hboot 1.24.

Item 1 is not necessary but no harm doing that

[HTC Desire X] abatt:
I have a strange situation. My phone is unlocked, rooted and flashed with myONEdx+ RC1.0 (JB | Sense 4+ Lite). So when i unlocked and rooted my phone i created a backup with neXusRecovery fixed by atis112 for JB - CWM. After that i flashed the custom ROM by ckpv5 1.0. After that i changed my recovery with TWRP 2.5.0.0. So the main question is i want to rollbacl to stock to receive the latest update with volume bugfix and after that to flash again muONEdx+ or mySENSEdx+ ? When i open my backup folder there is boot.img and recovery.img is that the corect i have to flash and restore the backup ?
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
You have to flash a CWM recovery again for going back to stock as your backup is done with CWM. I recommend to use Philz Touch Recovery which is CWM based.

[HTC Desire X] abatt:
Ok. When i flash Philz Touch my next step is restore backup. Have i to flash other recovery after that?

Yeah, you'll have to flash stock recovery and boot.img.

Okay i have a question here. I unlocked bootloader of my friends DesX through official method. That worked.

I tried to install a recovery (CWM and TWRP both). Even that worked! But the problem is, when you turn the phone on, it goes to the HTC logo then a message appears in red (I couldnt read it) and then the screen disappears and the phone goes directly into recovery. How do i boot up the phone normally?

I tried it 2-3 times using other recoveries too, but no success. :(

So finally i had to push the stock recovery.. :(

PLEASE HELP!
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
Maybe you accidentally flashed recovery image to boot partition? With fastboot flash boot recovery.img? Right command would be

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. For fixing your boot problem, just flash a kernel of your choice to boot partition with fastboot flash boot boot.img.

How to make a backup of the whole system without having rooted it first? I'm about to unlock my girlfriends phone but would like to be on the safe side and be able to revert back.
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
Just unlock it, install a custom recovery and do a nandroid backup. Ah, first do a boot dump and a recovery dump via fastboot.
[HTC Desire X] SecUpwN:
I thought unlocking it erases all data die to security precautions?

Is there a way to create an image of the whole phone + SD Card using command line tools?
[HTC Desire X] nunein:
Yes, as mentioned in the OP unlocking will factory reset the phone. All data in the phone memory gets lost. The data at the SD card will not be affected (BTW you could remove the SD prior to unlocking the phone).

Data in the phone memory might be backed-up by ADB backup (just do a search here), but this takes hours and is AFAIK not very reliable.

But there all several apps and tools available for backing up specific data like calls, sms, e-mails and so on.

So probably a suggestion could be to:

- try ADB backup

- additionally backup above mentioned personal data

- after unlocking flash Recovery, then perform a nandroid backup and keep it at a save place

- try ADB restore and if it fails restore previously saved personal data
[HTC Desire X] SecUpwN:
Contacts and SMS are no problem, but how to save the data of the apps without TitaniumBackup and without ROOT?
[HTC Desire X] nunein:
If there's no backup function inside the app (e.g. Whatsapp has one) then you can only try ADB backup.

Help for root

Hi, I'm new user.

I unlocked my bootloader, flashed TWRP recovery and installed (flashing by recovery) superuser and it worked all.

When I modify my system apps with Link2SD it works good. But when I reboot deleted apps are installed again and nothing changes.

Some tips?

I want to apply changes permanently!
[HTC Desire X] GtrCraft:
You need a kernel with system write protection off for that, there are enough in the orginal development section.

My advise is to not use link2sd when you are not using the function from it, install root explorer or another file manager that can go into the /system partition to delete system apps
[HTC Desire X] themetrio:
So, what should I do? Delete apps by system partition or install another kernel?

Best install stock firmware by using Flashtool (or flash custom kernel so you have root already) and start all over again.

Be sure you wipe everything before flashing a new rom.
