I don't know why, but with my S4 and Note 3 HSPA (4G) I get 27 down and 9 up on average, but on LTE I only get 13 down and 12 up. HSPA seems to be a little faster here in Tampa, Florida than LTE. T-Mobile's HSPA is capable of 42 MBPS and so are the phones. So i keep my phone set at hspa instead of LTE. I also get 4 to 5 bars of signal on 4G and only 1 or 2 on LTE which might explain the speed difference

Just did a test outside near a tower. I got 22 down and 11 up. Pretty decent.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dagr8est:
I think they are testing LTE in the Louisville, Kentucky area. LTE hasn't offically been announced, but I'm connected to LTE with 2 bars. I got 9.78 down and 3.34 up which isn't great. On HSPA+ I got 7.15 down and 1.30 up with full bars.

hi there..

i'm new on this section..cause i just bought the device.. anyway..

i read almost most important topics about s-off and super cid and custom recovery.. but i can not be 100% sure that i can do this alone

HTC HD2 is my first android device and i almost aware of how the things work to have a stock rom on y device..

but because of my device has not any warranty so i need to be careful not to brick my phone..

so i want to ask you guys help me step by step to do this right..

i think first i need to s-off my phone / read about this on some persian forums / to do this i have to get the unlock code from HTCDev ..right?

i know the steps..

next i need to install custom recovery which TWRP 2.6.3.0 is better than other version..right?

then i move the downloaded rom to my phone and from the recovery i install it.. right?

that was the final step.. ok?

so what about super cid.. how can i do this? is it necessary or what?

how can i back to stock rom/?

and what is the best rom for battery saveing which has sence 5?

thanks..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
If you have the HD2 you're in the wrong forum, this is the One XL forum. You need to find the correct forum and ask there as each device has different methods to unlocking and rooting.

thanks for noticing ,,, BUT ...

Firstable...wrong forum but since u new...is ok.....u need to start somewhere first.... Basically installing custom rom is always same process but different phone different method.....like timmaaa said on previous post.

1. U need to get root....to get superuser

2. Install recovery

3. U need to unlock your bootloader from Htc.Dev and choose your device

4. SuperCID .....

5. S-OFF

6.Download Custom ROM of your choice

7.Flash ROM from recovery....

8.Enjoy your custom ROM

But remember different device .....different method to root...etc

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jabi_james:
first of all thanks for help..

guys.. i bought HTC One XL.. belongs to no carrier.. i'm in middle east.. i do not understand what are saying about different device..

you mean every one xl with different carrier has its own method to root or s-off or etc.. interesting..

so now you know about my phone..

by the way i know the steps.. how can i do them/

i mean first i should unlock my bootloader to root my phone or install recovery..right?

but the order of the steps ted77usa said is different and i am totally confused.. you know what i mean?

what is the difference between s-off and unlock the bootloader?

is superCID necessary and if yes how do i do this?

these are my problems...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ted77usa:
Well at first u said ur phone/device are HTC HD 2 ....now u said Htc one Xl.....htc one xl mean from att ...if u do have htc one xl .....u are on the right forum and right device......all the step are connected.....u need to root ur device first so u can install recovery Twrp is recommended for our device.....coz to install recovery required superuser permission......U know what.... first thing first......power off your phone and then hold power+volume down combo button.....this would bring u to your bootloader and tell us what kinda hboot that u have? Either s-off or s-on.....locked or unlocked.....and what version of your Hboot so we can go from there......because diferent hboot is diferent method and steps......If u have adb/fastboot.exe u can plug your device to Pc ...and enter command from where u save adb/fastboot file......code are : adb reboot bootloader this would reboot your phone and bring you to your bootloader......And knowledge for adb/fastboot is required in order for u to mod your device......if your bootloader unlockEd.....most likely u have supercid....coz during process of unlocking bootloader u chance your device ID for example At&t is CWS__001 and u change it to 11111111 ( supercid ) but diferent carier is diferent thats what i mean and YES supercid is required for S-OFF......And u said u bought Htc one X with no carrier ....u might have international htc one X......not htc one xl that's different device

The problem was that in the first post you only mentioned the HD2, hence the confusion. To help you properly I'm gonna need to see your bootloader details please. If you have the middle eastern model this might be tricky.

Hang on, that's not exactly right. Not all Evitas are from at&t, they are available in several countries, from several carriers, branded and unbranded, and there is also a middle eastern model which is a bit different. We need to establish which model he has first.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Hey Ted, sorry to say but there are multiple things wrong with this post. Maybe just hold back on giving advice until you're well versed with this device. Giving wrong advice can lead to someone bricking their phone and nobody wants to be responsible for that.

There is no superuser permission required to install a custom recovery, it's actually the other way around: custom recovery is required to install superuser. What is required for a custom recovery though is an unlocked bootloader.

There is quite a bit of confusion over what rooting actually is, all it does is give you access to the root directory on the device, like having administrative privileges on Windows. It actually has nothing to do with the ability to flash custom ROMs, you need the unlocked bootloader and custom recovery to flash custom ROMs. A user can actually use a custom ROM perfectly well without ever needing to have root.

It isn't necessarily likely that a user has SuperCID if they have an unlocked bootloader, this is only true for at&t phones. All other Evitas are able to unlock the bootloader at htcdev without SuperCID. At&t phones need SuperCID first because the at&t CID is blocked at htcdev. Quite often these non-at&t phones (of which there are many) get SuperCID after unlocking the bootloader and attaining root.

Like I said in a previous post, this isn't true. At&t only makes up a percentage of all Evitas in the world. There are Evitas available in pretty much every country, and on various carriers (and unbranded) like Rogers, Telus, O2, T-Mobile, Telstra to name just a few. You can buy the One XL outright online from many websites, and these are usually the Hong Kong model, this is how I bought mine. So, to assume that a non-at&t One XL is the international One X isn't correct.

Now, while all of these Evitas are the same (apart from the availability of a 32gb model in Australia and Europe, the only difference being the storage capacity), there is a middle eastern variant of the Evita which is not like all the others. It has different hboot versions and very little is known about it, like whether all of our software is compatible or not. It's possible that it is but I've only seen three of four users with this device and I'm not comfortable advising anyone that it is. The few users that I've seen with this phone haven't reported back as to whether they've tried the software, and if so whether it worked or not.

Anyway, I just wanted to clear those things up for you, as I said it's very dangerous to give advice unless you're absolutely certain of what you're taking about. I hope this has helped somewhat.

hey guys.. appreciate you for being patient..

here is my phone's HBoot information.. hope i can figure it out with your help..

what else do you need?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Ok, thanks for posting that. Please read this entire post before doing anything, it's extremely important. Your first step is to unlock your bootloader at htcdev (this isn't s-off as you previously posted though, s-off is something different). Your next step is to install TWRP recovery (I've seen people having problems with 2.6.3, so maybe stick to 2.6), but this is where it gets a little tricky, I'll tell you why.

You have the middle eastern variant of the HTC One XL, I'm able to identify that by the 2.10 hboot, and by the codename which is EVITA_UTL, all other One XL's codename is just EVITA.

The problem with this is that we know very little about your variant, I've only seen a couple, so we're not absolutely sure if the software is compatible. The only way you're going to know for sure whether the software (TWRP recovery, ROMs, radios, kernels) is compatible or not is to try to flash it. If it works, that's great and we'll all know that it's safe to use the software, and you can enjoy some custom ROMs. But, if it doesn't work, there's a high chance you could brick your phone.

So, as you can tell this is a very risky situation for you. It's entirely up to you whether you try flashing the software or not, but I thought you should be fully aware of the risk involved. Either way, please do let us know what you decide to do. If you decide to go ahead it'll provide excellent information for other guys like you with this variant of our device.

hey there...

so these are my whole phone information

i unlocked my bootloader few minutes ago.. but on thing.. where can i find the stock recovery image and stock RUU rom ? if anythings go wrong i would be able to go back to stock..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
That's the problem, I don't know of an available RUU for your device, so I don't know if there's a stock recovery available. Maybe your carrier can provide you with that though.

I do have some good news for you though, I vaguely remembered another guy who has your device flashing one of our ROMs so I did some looking around. I found this thread. If you have a read you'll see he successfully flashed one of our ROMs and it worked fine. Please read this post in particular though, it states that you should not use hboot or radio from our device on yours, and also you will not have LTE support.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Ok, I think I've worked out how to backup your stock recovery. What you want to do is download TWRP 2.6 and put it in your fastboot folder. Now you connect your phone and issue this command:

fastboot boot recovery "recovery filename.img"

(The exact recovery filename, minus the talking marks)

This will boot your phone into TWRP recovery while it's still stored on your pc without having to overwrite the stock recovery on your phone. Basically it's running an emulated recovery, and the next time to reboot it'll be gone and your stock recovery will remain on your phone.

Now, while you're in TWRP you can either install superuser binaries or a custom pre-rooted ROM. This will give you root, once you've booted into the rooted ROM you can use an app called Flashify to backup your stock recovery.

Once you've confirmed that your recovery backup has worked (using a file explorer) you're free to permanently flash TWRP recovery onto your device.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jabi_james:
thanks man..

you mean i can flash for example viper Xl with emulated TWRP when stock recovery still installed on my phone.. wow...

and i didn't get the last part.. how can i confirmed with file explorer that my stock recovery which has been backed up works fine ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jabi_james:
and one thing..

while i'm restoring the original rom my recovery would be TWRP.. well ,,so if there's an original update exist my recovery must be stock to get the update.

it's possible to flash the stock recovery after restoring the original rom without damaging to it? you know what i mean?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yeah that's exactly what I mean, it's pretty cool actually. Before flashing Viper you should use the backup tool in TWRP to backup system, data, and boot and then you'll have a backup of your stock ROM.

What I meant in the last part was you should install something like ES File Explorer from the Play Store. That way after you've backed up your stock recovery you can confirm that it worked by navigating to /flashify-backup/recovery using the file explorer to make sure the recovery image is there.

I'm about to attach a couple of screenshots for your reference, I'll have them uploaded in a couple of minutes.

The first command you gave was correct, when you spelt it exactly. Did you put the recovery image in your fastboot folder? Try the command "fastboot devices", it should return your device serial number. This means you're connected properly, if it doesn't return the serial number it means you're not connected.

everything went just fine.. then i flashed the viper and after that flash boot.img.. after reboot i stuck on logo and phone rebooted over and over again..

i had to restore the stock rom that i backed up.. when it booted i faced several problems..

* wifi was not working.. gave me error instead of ON..

* when i was talking to someone the sensor should tirn the screen off.. ..but when i take the phone away from my ear the screen didn't turn on.. i had to press the power button to turn it back on..

* i see some terrible graphic problems when scroll up or down the drawer.. on messaging. everything related to animation..

and several i can't see now.. but I'm sure they will appear later..

i mean why restoring the stock rom does not work properly... i knew it.. i ruined my phone.. my phone after 2 days of buying is now unusable..

help me guys..

and what is the command in cmd to flash the boot?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
When you backed up the stock ROM did you backup the boot partition as well? And when you restored did you restore that?

The command for flashing the boot.img is:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

cmd showed me this.. (can not load recovery) While the Recovery.img was in the fastboot folder with the same name on cmd

by (it did not work ) i meant phone must go to the emulated TWRP as timmaaa said..it didn't go .. so the command did not work.. wish i made my point..

then to be sure about connection i did type this line ( fastboot getvar mid ) and it responded me at that moment..

so there's nothing wrong about connection between phone and pc

relock bootloader find custom recovery and unroot evita _utl

Hello everybody,

I own the htc one xl j15 (evita_utl), two days ago and before reaching this valuable page I've unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp custom recovery and rooted the phone, but after trying differents custom roms (viperxl, magiorom, kickdroid...) the phone wont boot with a black screen and i can't reach the fastboot plus the computer wont connect properly to the phone...after 20 trying of power off I've reached the fastboot, entered to the recovery and i've restored the stock 4.1.1 rom backup.

after reading all these posts, i can't take a risck and try any thing in my phone.

Luck has helped me and my phone wasn't bricked...

but i am sure that there is difference between evita and evita_utl in roms and recovery...

All that i need is back my phone to the factory status, so i need to relock my bootloader, unroot my phone and install my custom recovery so plz i need ur help.

thank you,
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
There are definitely some differences between your model (UTL) and the standard Evitas. However, ROMs and recoveries seem to be completely compatible, but I don't think anyone has been brave enough to test firmware yet so we're unsure whether that's compatible. So in short, it's fine to flash custom ROMs, but not firmware.

There are no RUUs (or even just the stock recovery) for your model available so going back to completely stock might not be possible at the moment. The reason the ROMs that you tried wouldn't boot could be very simple, something like just needing to flash the boot.img with fastboot because your phone is s-on. It might be worth trying again.

In the end the decision is yours though. Even though there are no RUUs or recovery available it isn't the end of the world. It sounds like your stock ROM backup that you restored is working ok so you could just leave it the way it is. The only problem is that you won't be able to take any OTA updates because you don't have stock recovery.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The stock recovery can be backed up, but the apps that can do it require root, and root requires a custom recovery. So in order to backup the stock recovery you need to overwrite it which means you can't back it up because it's gone.
