Which RUU are you trying to install? The 3.18 RUU suggested at the start of the thread?

My suggestion is to get s-off first, and you need to get SuperCID before you get s-off. Flash any rooted sense ROM from the development section, you need root to get SuperCID.

Its saying wrong RUU, because its the wrong RUU.

If you are S-on, you can only run an RUU meant for your Telstra version.

It appears you ignored my previous advice to read up on the basic concepts and procedures, before continuing to try to mod the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Desertum:
Hi there, I'm getting confused of what you are saying, Thought that I have already S-OFF and as previous comments, I don't need to touch SuperSid, as per the Root, I believed it was already rooted.

And yes, I'm trying to install the 3.18 RUU, currently using 3.17.

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I think this is a lost cause. You aren't even reading what people have replied to you. I clearly stated in post #4 above, you DO NOT have s-off.

Right in your second screen shot (white bootloader screen) it says

S-ON

(third line of text). This means you DO NOT HAVE S-OFF.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Like Redpoint just said, you can't install an RUU from another carrier (the 3.18 RUU is at&t) while you're s-on. You don't have s-off, look at the screenshots you attached earlier, in your bootloader it says s-on. You have an unlocked bootloader which is an entirely different thing.

Unless you've flashed a superuser zip or flashed a rooted ROM you don't have root. Root just means that you have administrative access to system files in a ROM. The real thing you need to install custom ROMs is an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery.

I'm gonna be honest, you're in over your head and you're ignoring good advice which was given to prevent you from damaging your phone.

You really have two choices: either do a hell of a lot of reading until you have a firm understanding of what you're doing, or leave your phone alone. The way you're going right now you're on track to destroy your phone.

Do yourself a favour and click on the link in my signature. It's a resource thread, it contains all the information you'll ever need. I'll put it this way, I read for a week or two before I even started modifying my phones.

John uallowt

I have not ignored your advised, It rather hard to understand all this, since there is no Indication for the right RUU, since the thread i'm looking at, does not mention anything in regards of using a different RUU.

I apologise If you feel like i'm ignoring your advised, I would rather ask you now, What should I do?

Are you able to do some prompts in regards of what to do?

So far, IMAO I need to to this:

Flash the Correct RUU (Gotta find it first)

Use S-off to Install the Custom ROM (ROM is already copied to the phone's memory)

Install the new Custom ROM, however, not to sure about the GApps, which are google apps.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1kbeoh/gapps_20130813_for_android_43_and_20130812_for/

I guess that you need to copy them before you install the new ROM?

Thank you for your patience.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Desertum:
Fair enough, I need to read more about it.

As i Have atm S-ON and I need to have S-off to be able to install the RUU and the custom Rom, I either need to accomplish this :

SuperUser the Phone with the current Stock ROM

or

Install a Rooted ROM, correct?

None of this is hard to understand once you start diving into it and learning.

I'm personally not going to spoonfeed you any more steps (and suggest against doing it either), as shortcutting the learning process is only going to turn your phone into an expensive paperweight.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
We're getting there, here are the exact steps you need to take:

1) Read a lot.

2) Read some more.

3) Flash a superuser zip on your current stock ROM, or flash a rooted Sense ROM so you have root.

4) Get SuperCID.

5) Get s-off.

6) RUU to latest.

7) Flash whatever ROM you want.

He is already on 2.14 hboot I'm not even sure why he's trying to ruu.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Good catch. I missed that.

To the OP: you don't need to RUU to install cm10.2 on your device as you already have the required hboot/firmware. Without s-off you will need to manually flash the boot.img using fastboot though.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I pointed out to him that the CM10.2 thread specifically recommends S-off and 3.18 RUU (but I think it really means a 3.1X Jellybean RUU). OP didn't mention he was on 3.17 until after that.

Just all the more reason why OP should be reading to figure these types of things out for himself.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 31ken31:
I'll just hope it's not a bricking in progress. Like tim said I read and reread for days before risking the phone, and I know what I'm doing...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] siraeryn:
Of you install the 3.18RUU according to what I read you should have SuperCID and S-OFF first. Otherwise brick!

The first step with a Telstra One XL is to downgrade the firmware to 3.17.841.2. In the OP's screenshots you'll see you have .9. In that version the SuperCID partition is locked.

In order to get S-OFF'd you need to be rooted first.

I flashed TWRP to recovery then used TWRP to flash SuperSU. Then follow up with SuperCID and S-OFF.

With a bit of searching you can find a thread with what to do for the One XL.

Note: you no longer need to downgrade the touch panel firmware.

The 3.18 firmware is an AT&T firmware. Not sure of it's actually required. If you install it, it will relock your phone. You'll then need to go back through the original process with HTC DEV.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
S-on and SuperCID is the deadly combo. S-on and no SuperCID (such as your carrier's CID) is normally ok. Although anything that touches hboot has some small possibility of bricking the device if for instance the files are corrupt.

Not sure, but I think s-off bypasses the bootloader lock.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
He can't get s-off without SuperCID. He'd need to flash stock recovery, relock his bootloader, run an older Telstra RUU, then OTA update to the .2 firmware only.

Hello guys, thanks for all the help.

Im reading all about it, so far i need to get the S-ON TO S-OFF and correct me if I'm wrong, but that means that i need to copy the Boot.Img using fastboot correct?

As in regards of the Ruu, im using 3.17.841.9

As per the TWRP , Got a program called One X (GUI) made Hasoon 2000,perhaps I need to find another one like this one because in this GUI does not show any feature to SuperSu the phone.

I would only need to do that to go back and been able to use Telstra's OTA right?

That seems even more complicated to get this goinf..:mad:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
No, please slow down and read what we're telling you carefully. I think we're being pretty clear with what we're saying. Flashing the boot.img has nothing to do with obtaining s-off. Having s-off removes the need to flash the boot.img using fastboot.

I said before a couple of times you can just flash a rooted ROM. They're pre-rooted so you don't need to flash a superuser zip.

That's one scenario. But if you do want to have s-off this is the only way to do it, because you need to have SuperCID to get s-off, but your current firmware version (3.17.841.9) restricts the ability to get SuperCID. You need to get a lower firmware version ( 3.17.841.2) and the only way for you to do that is by the sequence above.

Right now, this is irrelevant though. Like I said just above, you can flash ROMs right now without having to take any further steps.

Download a ROM to your pc, extract the boot.img from within the ROM zip and copy it into your fastboot folder on your pc. Copy the ROM zip onto your phone. Get into recovery, use the backup feature to backup your current setup. Use the wipe feature to wipe cache/dalvik cache/system/factory reset. Use the install feature to install the ROM. Use the reboot feature to reboot to the bootloader (don't reboot system because it'll just loop). Once in bootloader connect your phone to your pc and flash the boot.img using fastboot. Once that's done reboot your phone and it'll boot up into your new ROM.

Wunderbar!

Will do as you said before.

I have the boot.img from the CyanogenMod 10.2

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2382933

I have copied the ROM file to the phone's memory.

Once I get to recovery, I do a backup of the current stock Rom (Done already)

Then I do the wipe cache/dalvik cache/system/factory reset

Then I do the Installation of the New ROM (CyanogenMod 10.2)

Then Reboot into Boatloader (Important to avoid Loops)

Finally, Connect the phone to the Pc and use fastboot to copy the boot.Img file.

This is where i get some issues, Got my Adb/fastboot all in one folder called Platform-tools, which is part of the SDK folders, however, for some reason I have been trying to detect the connected device using this command:

fastboot devices : It keeps waiting for device, however I have got the phone connected via usb, using the latest drivers as well.

Once I'm able to see the detected device, will use this command to flash it over:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Is something missing in the process?

Thank you!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yep you've got all of that right. When you're trying the fastboot devices command does it say fastboot usb on your phone screen? And do you have the proper htc drivers installed on your pc? If so, try uninstalling htc sync (if you have it) but leave drivers installed. HTC Sync can get in the way.

Oh by the way, to run an aosp ROM like cm, you must also install gapps directly after installing the ROM (before rebooting to bootloader). Go to this page and use the table at the top to get the right gapps for the ROM you're installing.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Are you ware you have to be in fastboot mode, in order to use fastboot? Meaning, you need to be in bootloader, with "fastboot USB" selected in the main menu.

ADB commands will run when the phone is on in almost any condition (bootloader, fully booted, etc). You can type "adb devices" (no quotes) and look for your device, to verify there is a USB connection.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Desertum:
Everytime I tried to connect to boatloader, im on the main stock rom, the Usb debugging in on and funny enough, had to get rid of HTC syn because it was getting turned on every time i connect the phone, but since i unistalled htc sync, fastboot is no good:eek:, Should i install back again?

In regards of the aosp, I install it after i install the new custom rom but I do not reboot into boatloader to install it afterward, just after the new custom rom, correct?

Thanks a lot mate!:)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
When you installed HTC Sync did you leave the drivers installed? You need the drivers.

You need to be in bootloader/fastboot for fastboot to work. Do this: while phone is booted into the ROM hold down power to bring up the power off/restart menu. Select restart, then hold the volume down key, keep holding it until you reach the bootloader (white screen with text saying Evita pvt s-on etc). Now try fastboot devices command.

It's getting late, so im bit tired, thus below:confused:

When you mean Fastboot mode, in order to use fastboot, you are talking to set the phone on the bootloader screen and then the "fastboot usb" on the DOS?

What i do is to go where the sdk files are, prompt cmd, then cd through them until i get where all the files are (included the boot.img) then i do something like this:

D:\one xl\sdk\platform-tools>Fastboot Devices (Enter)

Waiting devices and then forever there....

I'm using the latest drivers : HTCDriver_4.2.0.001.exe, fir the syn manager is not being used, It was before though.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yes you need to be in bootloader with fastboot usb displayed on your phone screen. Try rebooting the pc, try a different usb cable/port.

Guide thread

The guide thread I mentioned before is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2283756

This guide has step 2 as SuperCID, however, you first need to be rooted.

This post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41482172#post41482172 tells you about downgrading the RUU.

For the drivers I installed HTC Sync Manager rather than the HTC Sync (which is for older phones).

ADB only works when debugging is enabled, so the phone has to be running, not in the bootloader.

I did install the AT&T 3.18 RUU. It re-locked my bootloader, which then required a new unlock_code.bin from HTC DEV. I'm not sure if it was required, but I'd read a few posts for CM10.2 that said it was required. Note: you need to fastboot oem lock to relock before installing an RUU. Find a post / guide on it first, otherwise you may think it's failed when it hasn't.

All this advice is well and good, but you really need to read this post first:

If the forum section says "AT&T, Rogers HTC One X" at the top of the webpage, you are good to go, its for your phone, the EVITA (dual core version Snapdragon of the One X/XL).

Completely different hardware, flashing ROMs for a different device (which the ENDEAVORU is, despite the similar exterior appearance and naming) will not work, and might BRICK the device.

Do you think that they will update the ROM to 4.3?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
The fact the ROM is not rooted is nearly irrelavent, if you are using TWRP. When you try to flash any unrooted ROM in TWRP, it will ask if you want TWRP to flash root, and if you pick "yes" TWRP will do it automatically.

You may get signal drops and random reboots on

any

Sense 5 ROM, unless you flash a different kernel and/or update the firmware. Be aware that flashing the firmware requires s-off, and is also somewhat risky (very much not recommended if you don't have a full understanding of what you are doing).

A Sense ROM based on 4.3 does not exist on any HTC device. So no, not until that happens (at a minimum). HTC One will probably be the first to get 4.3, so somebody may port it to our device. Otherwise, we wait until "official" 4.3 is released for our device. They just release 4.2.2, so 4.3 isn't going to be anytime soon.

Yeah that's the one. You can just flash that right over the top of the ROM, you just need to wipe cache and dalvik cache.

The latest version is 3.5, you'll find it in the downloads section on the first page. Some people have reported that just flashing 3.5 resulted in a bootloop. If that happens to you, go back into recovery and flash version 2.0, then reboot into system, then reboot back into recovery and flash version 3.5, then reboot to system and you should be fine.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
All these questions are easily answered by just reading more. That is the right way to really understand more.

Firmware is a rather generic term, but when folks are talking about flashing firmware separate from the ROM, it means hboot, radio, plus several other modules that don't get flashed with the ROM. Touching hboot can easily brick your phone if you don't know what you doing. And no offense, its plain you don't, and don't have much interest in learning properly. So I don't recommend it for you.
