[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdiamond7:
I am a developer and am looking to start getting my feet wet in Android ROM development. I've already configured my build environment and run a few builds and flashed the packages to my device, but have yet to really get into the source code.

My concern is with being new at this is potentially doing something that would brick my phone. Some of the things I'd like to do eventually would require some kernel development which has me a bit nervous.

Is there any way to test out a build before flashing it to my device? I know the SDK has some emulation capabilities, but I'm not sure if that will work for this device.

Are my concerns even warranted? Maybe I'm just being overly cautious, but I don't want to incapacitate my device.

Can any developers out there shed some light on this? How do you test your ROMs?

If you mean to unlock it to use on any network you choose, there is no software to do this. If you want to unlock the rom, that is a different story. What do you want to do?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chetccox:
At this time, that is not possible. But I ask, why did you buy a locked phone? There are many posts on this website concerning unlocking. If you wanted an unlocked phone, why did you buy this one to begin with? Perhaps it was cheap, and now you are stuck with it unless you bought it legally and can get the unlock code from your subscirber. I paid the price and my phone was not locked to begin with.

I applied both zips to my Nexus4 and wow - it really is an amazing difference. I was just wondering does anyone know if there are the same type of files available for the PRIME.

I assume not - but had to ask!

Thanks

No need because:

a) these are for Qualcomm devices only

b) the original AOSP Dalvik and Bionic libraries are open source versions and did not come with optimizations for Qualcomm chips.

c) our devices are Tegra 3 and likely have Tegra 3 optimizations in the libraries already.

So my AT&T HTC One X is bootloader unlocked, super CID and was rooted. I installed a copy of Viper XL 4.2.0 that had issues with the radio turning off so I thought I'd try Maximus HD. I flashed the boot.img and went to install the rom only to find that the rom was for the international version of the HTC One X only (this was conveniently overlooked in the thread). I backed out of installation, went to restore with my TWRP backup and it had been deleted. I reinstalled the Viper XL rom and my phone booted up to the HTC developers screen (red text) and went black. This now happens every time I try to boot the phone up.

I have access to fastboot and clockwork recovery. I can't get ADB to work as I don't have access to enable USB debugging. I have flashed a few roms since with their respective boot.img to no avail. The phone still just boots to the HTC screen and blacks out.

I don't have S-off and, from my research, I can't get it without ADB so I can't RUU and return to stock without bricking (apparently). I've been at this for about a month and this soft brick is starting to look a whole lot like a hard brick.

Any suggestions, or am I out of business?

Thanks in advance! :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Madcat8686:
Not sure if I can help you much but I did notice an important clue by what you said. It looks like you flashed the boot.img before flashing the Rom. This is backwards. You are supposed to flash the Rom first and then the boot.img. If you are not S-Off this will indeed cause problems. If you are still able and have the files on the phone, try flashing in that order and see if that clears it up. Oh and P.S. I'm sure you already are kicking yourself but yes, stick to Roms made for our phone in this forum.

Just noticed something else:

you said you had access to fastboot? Connect the phone and open a CMD prompt, navigate to your ADB/Fastboot folder (Where ever you keep your adb/fastboot tools) and then type "fastboot devices" to see if your computer is talking to your phone. If it is, you said you can flash Viper. you will just need to unzip the Viper zip and get the boot.img. Put that file in your ADB/Fastboot folder. open a CMD prompt again and navigate once again to you ADB/Fastboot folder, then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img and that should get you back on the road.

This is assuming you have a folder with the required ADB/Fastboot resources (if you don't I recommend you learn how) and knowledge on how to navigate to that folder with DOS commands.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You said you flashed the boot.img from Maximus before flashing the ROM (which is ok, the previous member is incorrect in saying that it must be afterwards, it can be either), but did you flash the boot.img from the Viper XL ROM when you flashed that? If not your phone is trying to boot Viper while the Maximus boot.img is still installed, obviously this won't work.

One thing. The fact that Maximus ROM is only for the Endeavoru wasn't "conveniently overlooked" as you sarcastically put it. You were in the wrong forum. The ROM itself is in the Endeavoru forum and you have the Evita so you shouldn't be in the Endeavoru forum in the first place. The ROM is in the correct forum, it doesn't need to be labelled "Endeavoru only" because the user should be aware of which device they have and be aware of which forum they are in. The fact that you're bouncing around both forums is a bit of a worry. You have no reason to be in that forum.

Stay within our device forum, you don't ever need to be anywhere else. You're pretty lucky you haven't actually bricked your phone by flashing that ROM. By the way, there's no such thing as a soft brick. A brick is when your phone will not power on at all. It's either bricked or it isn't.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] roycedavies:
Thanks for the reply. I believe the reason I'm not bricked is because I backed out of the installation of Maximus HD during the setup screen progression. The actual ROM was never flashed. However, I have flashed the boot.img and ROMs for Viper, Xylon, and Cyanogenmod with no success. The result is the same every time (HTC screen, then black). I extract the boot.img from each of the roms, flash it, and then flash the ROM. The ROM I flash is a copy of the the original with the boot.img still inside. Perhaps I should be removing the boot.img if I am going to flash it separately in fastboot? And I realize that the threads are specific for certain phones now. It's all kind of a mess to get into at first.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I understanding that it can be a bit confusing at first, especially with the phones betting similarly named. But you know now so you shouldn't have this problem again. I believe you will probably need to run an RUU to get out of this mess, but I'll need to see your bootloader details first, just the first five lines.

Dude, you are a golden-freaking genius. Your suggestion to flash the boot.img second did the trick! I'm currently running Uxylon! Hopefully things continue to work. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Oh, that's great. Usually it shouldn't matter which order you flash in, but at least it got you out of trouble this time.

Actually I can't take credit for this. Timmaaa pointed out something I didn't know. You can flash them in either order (mind blown!) I've only see it one way. I learn a ton every day. [MENTION=4153349]timmaaa[/MENTION] pointed out you had the Maximus boot.img loaded. I think you just flashed over it and now you have the correct boot.img for the Rom you are running. Glad everything worked out for you and I learned something in the process too. Cheers!

thanks again for your help and this might be a total shot in the dark but I am still having the boot to black issue after installing uxylon. the room is running well enough (4g won't turn on but one problem at a time) but every time I turn the phone off or rent I have to get into fastboot and flash the boot.img to get the phone on again. is that normal? the only other ROM I have ever had working is viper but I haven't seen any indication that having to use fastboot to turn the phone on every time is normal. is there a way to fix this possibly?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] roycedavies:
Thanks for the reply! I will get the bootloader info ASAP bit don't I need to be s-of in order to RUU? from what I've read, if you don't have unlocked bootloader, root access, and s-off, you'll end up bricking your phone with RUU. I'd really like to do it but I have tried to get s-off to no avail.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
No, that isn't normal at all, there's definitely something screwy there. I think you're gonna need to run an RUU, so you'll need to get s-off. Try this:

Http://Rumrunner.us

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Madcat8686:
Definitely not normal. A few recommendations:

1. Back up all your stuff, wipe everything except the SD card, Flash a fresh copy of the Rom, Flash the boot.img (you really should consider S-Off), Wipe the cache and DALVIK cache one more time, boot up the system.

2. Same as above except choose another Rom. There are plenty to choose from. The 4.4 Roms are getting a lot better now that the new Kernel fix got rid of the boot loops/reboots.

Sorry about the delay, it's been a heavy week at work. Hope things work out for you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I don't think flashing another ROM is going to fix the problem at hand. There's very possibly something much deeper wrong here, which a ROM flash won't fix. I honestly think it's better to run an RUU which will bring everything back to the way it's meant to be and the user can start with a blank slate.

You have no idea how much I have vicariously learned from your posts. Thanks Timmaa! I keep thinking if more of these folks would go ahead and get S-Off they would have waaaaaaaaaay less issues.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Flashing another ROM could be worth a try, but the fact that the boot.img seems to be disappearing whenever the screen is off suggest something has gone wrong at a lower level.

I'm glad to help, I'm still learning something new just about every day too from XDA.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Madcat8686:
I totally agree now because after rereading the post, there is a radio issue in addition to the boot issue. Is it possible that the Endeverou boot.img messed something up?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking. An RUU will hopefully fix that right up.

That sounds like a good plan. (I'm really appreciating all your input by the way! Thanks so much!) One question though, upon checking out the rumrunner website, there isn't specific mention of the HTC One X Evita. Call me paranoid, but after what I've been through I want to make 100% sure I'm compatible before moving forward. Have you or anyone used this specific method for S-Off on the One X Evita?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
For the Evita you use the universal HTC method. I've created a thread for it if you want to make sure it's worked for other Evita owners.

Thanks! By the way, I realized that I forgot to mention that I flashed a kernel associated the the Maxiumus HD update as well before beginning the install process. Will an RUU take care of that or do I need to find an Evita kernel to flash separately?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] roycedavies:
Sorry I've taken forever to get back but finals have been a beast. I just read through the rumrunner instructions and they mentioned that my device will reboot several times to get S-Off. My phone can't reboot because of the splash screen to black thing so is there another option available? The more research I do, I really looks like S-Off then RUU is my only safe bet.

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Ok, you definitely need s-off, if you try to RUU now you'll brick. I think maybe you need to try to flash another ROM and make sure you flash the boot.img too, see if you can boot up and reboot a few times to make sure it's solid so you can get s-off.

Sent from my Evita.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] roycedavies:
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried flashing and rebooting a few times and, without fail, it won't boot. The latest attempt is Sharedroid 4.4 with no reboot luck there either. The only way I can get into a running rom is to flash the boot.img from fastboot and this has worked 100% of the time. I've tried rebooting through recovery, from the running OS and from bootloader and I end up with a black screen having to power+volume down over and over to get back into fastboot. Like I said earlier, I flashed the kernel associated with Maximus. Do you think trying to flash a different kernel would help?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yeah it's worth a try. I think the Beastmode kernel might be your only hope because it's s-on friendly so you shouldn't need to flash a boot.img. It's only compatible with Sense 5 Android 4.2.2 ROMs so you'll need to flash it with one of those.

Sent from my Evita.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] roycedavies:
Apparently there are some broken links on XDA associated with Beastmode. I've reinstalled Uxylon 4.2.2 and am trying to flash Beastmode but there are quite a few to choose from when I approach them from Google. Does it matter which one I flash?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You can't flash Beastmode with Uxylon. Beastmode is a Sense kernel and Uxylon is an aosp ROM. I did say you need a Sense 5 ROM to flash it with.

Sent from my Evita.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] roycedavies:
Oh I see. Thanks for the clarification. I just installed CM 10.1 and that's not sense either from what I understand. The only roms I have found that have sense available have been viper XL and a stock rom on the XDA website. Unfortunately, I can't flash either of them with clockwork mod because it fails and TWRP won't respond when I install it so, do you have any 4.2.2 roms you would suggest?

And by the way, thanks again for everything. I really appreciate your time. There's just a sharp learning curve but I'm always up for taking in something new.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
All of the Sense ROMs can be found in the Android Development section. Aosp ROMs are in the Original Android Development section.

Asking for a ROM suggestion isn't allowed. Suggesting one ROM kind of infers that it's better than the others or that the other ROMs are inferior in some way. This isn't fair to the developers who spend their spare time bringing us these ROMs free of charge.

If you're having problems with CWM I'd suggest switching to TWRP, it's much more user friendly and bug free. You'll find a new modified version of TWRP 2.6.3.0 by jrior001 in the Original Android Development section. It's capable of flashing all ROMs including the new 4.4 ROMs.

And no problems, I'm always happy to help someone who's willing to learn and ready to put in a little effort.

Alright, after many hours, my phone is finally S-Off. Fortunately the facepalm method worked great. I've been trying to find the correct RUU for my phone and am totally overwhelmed. I'm on hboot 2.14 right now and some RUU guides seem hboot dependent while others seem more focused on carrier and phone make and model. I've tried searching the HTC One X thread on XDA for an RUU package to no avail and Google isn't too helpful either. Is there a thread you could point me to that would have the correct RUU to run? I'm S-Off, Rooted, Bootloader unlocked, and CID 11111111 currently so according to what I've read, I'm ready for RUU. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You're s-off so you can run any Evita RUU. I'd suggest the 3.18 RUU. All you need to do is connect your phone in fastboot mode and run the RUU.exe program in Windows. Make sure no other programs are running, make sure screen saver/hibernation is turned off. If you have HTC Sync Manger installed you should uninstall that (leave the drivers installed) because it can interrupt the RUU process.

Once the RUU is complete your phone should be back to a fully stock configuration with everything the way it should be. You'll still have an unlocked bootloader and you'll still have s-off, so all you'll need to do is install a custom recovery again and then you can flash whatever ROM like. Just make sure it's an Evita ROM :p
