I'm using the 3.18 RUU you linked a few posts back. Trying it again so far it hasn't gave me an error yet. Still says it's sending......... and yes I have the latest drivers installed also rechecked to make sure that phone was communicating with pc.

Are you using an original HTC usb cable? Are you using a usb 2.0 or 3.0 port?

No not an original HTC USB cable. And yes I believe USB 2.0
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It's possible that the cable is your problem. I know you checked communication but it wouldn't be the first time that adb/fastboot worked but an RUU wouldn't.

Ok I found this. This was the error I was getting. If I use the RUU you posted it is the correct one right??

ERROR [155~159]: IMAGE ERROR

One of these error messages will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to update and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version and try again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
If you have the at&t One X and you're using the at&t 3.18 RUU, yes it's the correct one. You could try using the 2.20 RUU instead seeing as this one isn't playing nicely.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It certainly did, but that's all, it hasn't touched the radio. Now you're in a bit of a tricky situation, you can't RUU backwards while s-on so now the only RUU that has a hope of working is the 3.18 RUU. It's worth trying to get s-off before you attempt it again to see if it'll make a difference.

ok so what do i have to do to s-off?? or should i try to run the 3.18 ruu again??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Well you need an unlocked bootloader and root for s-off to work, so that might actually be harder than I'd thought. You'll have to continue trying the RUU I think.

Also I bought this thing of eBay because I have rooted a couple of HTC phones before, and I figured I could get it to work. When I got it, it was dead charged it up and it booted up.

My thought is if it boots to the boot loader then it's not bricked and I can fix it. Just can't figure out why I can't unlock.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Unfortunately not all devices are unlocked/rooted the same way, so previous experience doesn't always transfer to the new device. Your thought about it not being bricked if it can boot is correct, so it's technically not bricked. I can't think of any reason that the RUU shouldn't be working. We have no idea what the previous user did to the device so that might have something to do with it. Try this fastboot command:

fastboot getvar all

finished. total time: 0.259s

Would that be the correct CID, or did it reset somehow?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
That's SuperCID, that's what you want. It could just be a case of the ROM not being compatible with this s-off method. I've personally gotten s-off using an aosp ROM (on my fiance's Evita), but apparently it's more successful on Sense ROMs app you might ext to consider flashing one just to get s-off.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] taomun:
Is there supposed to be there supposed to be a SuperCID message on the bootloader screen or would that only be on a later version?

Also, I'm not too familiar with Sense based ROMs. Do you have a recommendation for one that would possibly work with this HBOOT version, just to ease the process a bit?

Just to clarify, my next steps are...

1. Flash a Sense-based ROM

2. Go back and try to uses the Facepalm method with Sense-based ROM installed. Achieve S-Off, hopefully...

3. Update my HBOOT to 3.18

4. Flash TWRP instead, though I had been having issues downloading/flashing version 2.7 (4.4-compatible) through Goomanager. It would never download, whereas a friend, recommended ROM Manager and the CWM route and flashing that was seamless. Anyway, I'll bow to your recommendation here.

5. I should then be good to go with flashing any 4.4 based ROM, correct?

Again, thanks for all of your assistance. It's slowly becoming clearer to me, what the issue could be. Your help has been invaluable.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Your CID isn't shown on the bootloader screen unless you have s-off. Only much older Sense ROMs are fully compatible with your current firmware, the current ones will flash but you'll suffer signal losses and random reboots without upgrading the firmware. It'll be ok just to get s-off though.

The steps you outline there are fine. However, forget about Goo Manager and forget about ROM Manager, those are the lazy ways to flash ROMs/recoveries etc and you can't rely on them to work properly. The best way to flash a recovery is to download it from their goo.im page and flash it with fastboot. Fastboot is the standard, you'll find detailed instructions in my How-To Guide For Beginners thread (link in my signature).

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] taomun:
Thanks. I have my plan of action, then. How old should I go for the Sense ROM, ICS (4.0) or Early JellyBean (4.1.2)? Just curious, I don't want to spend too much time guessing and re-flashing etc...

Also, I'm getting more comfortable with this fastboot method as I been using it over and over again the last few days trying to get this S-Off to work. I really hadn't done too much flashing, etc... for a while as you can tell by the age of my bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Any Jellybean ROM should be fine. If it doesn't come with root (stock ROM) you'll need to flash root through TWRP.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] taomun:
Thanks.

Also I'm running the latest CWM Recovery (from ROM Manager), will I need to downgrade that in order to flash the older ROMs?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It should be ok. If not, another recovery is only a flash away.

Researching how to install/run RUU, ,while I'm here at work, I came across this thread...

Installing an RUU on the HTC One X Evita

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2593037

In the "Steps for Running the RUU" section, Step 11 states... "If you are modified, you will need to reflash a custom recovery, custom Kernel, Radio, etc." You mentioned I need to install the custom recovery at this point, but what about the "Kernel, Radio, etc..." part is there a certain version of those that I need to look out for/download and have it ready before I go through the process?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Each ROM already has a kernel packaged into it, otherwise it wouldn't boot. If you want to run a custom kernel you must flash it after flashing your custom ROM. The RUU will install a radio, if you find that it isn't performing well or causes excessive battery drain you can flash a different radio. How well a radio performs depends on your exact geographical location, environmental disturbances, and other factors. So there is no "best" radio, what works well for one user (even if he's only one house away) may not work well for you. It's trial and error, so you'll need to flash a few to find the one that works best for you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] taomun:
Sorry for all of the posts. A little confused about which ROM to use based on my bootloader situation. Will a Jellybean SENSE 5 ROM, such as ViperXL work or would I need to go older? Some of the SENSE 4+ ROMS are stating that you need to have (highly recommended) the latest Jellybean firmware and S-Off, such as this older CLEANROM 6.5. I have neither, so do I need to stay away from these?

I don't want to install something that's not compatible and screw this up. Especially since this is a temporary install to complete the S-Off conversion.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I was flashing Jellybean (4.1) Sense ROMs while I had ancient firmware (1.09) installed and it ran without any issues. Anything below 4.2.2 should be ok.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] taomun:
Ok, I ran into a bit of an issue with my first SENSE-Based ROM (RageXL). I went with this ROM because it was what I believed was old enough of a Jellybean version to minimize any compatibility issues. I installed an older version of TWRP (2.3.3) because the install instructions stated that this was the preferred recovery for the ROM.

Recovery installation went fine and I was able to install the ROM from the SD card. I then went back to the bootloader and used fastboot too flash the boot.img from the ROM manually, as you are supposed to do with HBOOT 1.14 and S-on.

Went to start the ROM for the first time... Bootloop.

I was able to get back into the bootloader, but I'm not quite sure what to do now as I can't load into the ROM.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

Disregard, I was able to reflash the previous ROM (PACman 4.2.2) So now I'm back to the drawing board trying to find a SENSE ROM that will work.

Telstra XL S-off

Hey Folks :)

I'm trying to get S-off on my One XL, I've tried Wizzrah's EZToolkit and the WinDroid Tool kit with no luck.

I've the latest telstra OTA, Hboot 2.15, unlocked bootloader, TWRP and root, I'm just not sure where to go from here.

Am I right assuming I don't need SuperCID as its not an AT&T device?

You probably didn't really need to install an older version of TWRP, you could try again with TWRP 2.6, that's a known solid version. Did you check the md5 of the ROM?

Upgrading firmware/S-OFF fastboot

Finally hoping to update my At&t One XL from Viper XL 3.2.8 to 4.2. I know I should update the firmware to do this and have to get S-OFF to do that.

However, ran into a roadblock trying to achieve S-OFF. After rumrunner restarted into bootloader, it failed to get into fastboot. When I run the command fastboot devices nothing shows up, but it does with adb devices .

Here are the steps I took prior:

1. Downloaded adb and fastboot (used a different computer when I initially rooted)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

-didn't initially install the provided drivers here, but did try installing them with no change to fastboot devices.

2. Download HTC Sync manager from HTC.

3. Uninstall HTC sync manager (leaving the drivers)

4. Download rumrunner for S-OFF

I was able to install CleanROM (7.0R2), but I just realize that it's 4.2.2, I'm not sure if that's going to affect the Facepalm process. Here's the issue I'm working on now, ADB is not recognizing the device when it's plugged in. I think it would have to do with enabling android debugging. I don't know where to set this in the Sense ROM. Also, my USB drivers (3.0.0.007) may not be the the absolute latest, will that cause an issue as I go through this process of upgrading the bootloader etc...

Do you know where I can locate the android debug settings? Figured it out (Google)...

Ok, still not recognizing it after enabling USB debugging, which was checked by default when unlocked. I'm not sure if it's an issue with drivers or another setting in Sense that I need to enable. Researching...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Aloysius496:

I have working drivers as I have been able to flash and communicate back-and-forth with my phone throughout the process. I know they are NOT the LATEST drivers (3.0.0.007). Will this be an issue?

Reading through the RUU thread mentioned above and others, people suggest a method of installing HTC Sync Manager, to get the latest drivers, and then uninstalling it and keep the drivers. If I uninstall the HTC Sync Manager program, will the drivers still be installed or do I need to do something else to keep them? The wording is just a little confusing...

If you are currently able to issue adb and fastboot commands you probably don't need to touch your drivers.

Also, does the RUU process delete the contents of my SD card?

Unfortunately for you none of the methods you've mentioned are compatible with the latest firmware from at&t. At this point in time there is no way for you to unlock your bootloader. If a dev thinks it's worth his time to find a crack you'll be able to, but that might not happen.

Kernals!

I would like to possibly flash a custom Kernel on to my device, could you point me to a good resource for finding the right one?

I'm mainly looking to primarily find ways of extending my battery life a bit more, through a deep sleep mode, and possibly bumping the speed a bit. Nothing major, but probably at this point battery life is my primary concern. Would you have one that you would recommend?

Asking which ROM/kernel is best/most stable/fastest/prettiest question isn't allowed so I can't answer that, here's why. To say one is better is to infer that the others are inferior in some way.
