Greetings.

I have a n0ob question. I'm currently running CM 10.2 stable and I was thinking of giving TORCHED KERNEL:cool: (for JB noOC noVC) a whirl.

Can I wipe cache/wipe dalvik, and then flash the kernel?

or should I wipe cache/wipe dalvik, flash rom, and then flash kernel? (I believe that's what they call a dirrrrrty flash)

or do I have to factory reset, wipe, flash rom and then flash kernel?

Just curious because I'd rather dirty flash for the convenience of not having everything wiped. Thanks!

Phone deets:

HTC ONE X - Rogers

S-off

ran the Turge 3.18 RUU

HBOOT 2.15

ROM: AOSP CM 10.2 JB

edit; NVM, I just cleared cache/dalvik cache and flashed the kernel. Just playing around with Trickster for settings, but if you're not overclocking or changing voltz there's not a whole lot to play with. We'll see if battery improves - with CM I used the "ondemand" CPU setting and that's what I'm using for Torched.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Mr.Freeman19:
never mind sorry
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
That's what I would recommend. I wouldn't think a re-flash of the ROM (dirty or clean) would be necessary for flashing a kernel. But always a good fallback, if you experience any issues.

Ultra n00b question here:

I have an otherwise STOCK One X.

I've attempted to put a new rom on there twice (and yes, I did read through ALL of the documentation that was included but apparently I missed something).

After a little more research I think I've FOUND THE PROBLEM.

SO!

I just want to double check here before I go and brick my phone.

Android: 4.1.1

Sense 4+

Software: 3.18.502.6 710RD

SDK API 4.63

Kernel 3.4.10-g310e8f1

Baseband 0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34l

Hboot-2.14.0000

s-on *this was the problem I think*

In order to flash a rom I need to turn s-off and check my CID?

Cheers and thanks in advance!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] yeeeeeahbuddy:
No, to flash a rom you need to have your bootloader unlocked. This can be done by visiting htcdev.com and following the instructions there. If you have an ATT phone you may have to do a slightly different method to unlock the bootloader.

So, basically you can flash a rom with a stock CID and S-on, you just need to have your bootloader unlocked and have a custom recovery installed (like TWRP)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
That's a fair question. Part of the answer is yes. You do need to change your CID to SuperCID, so that you can unlock your bootloader, so you can install a custom recovery, so you can install a custom ROM. The other part is no, you don't need s-off to flash a ROM but you do need it for other reasons.

The first thing you need to do is click the Everything Evita link in my signature, that's a compilation thread, bookmark it, it contains links to everything you need and more. The second thing you need to do is navigate to the root section within that thread and find the 3.18 root method, click that link and follow the instructions in that thread which will give you SuperCID (it doesn't give you root as the title suggests).

Once you've completed that you can go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader. An unlocked bootloader is the most important requirement for flashing custom ROMs. Once you've done that report back here and we can go to the next steps.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You're kinda right but wrong at the same time. This user has an at&t phone (the software and radio versions are the giveaway) so he can't just go and unlock the bootloader, SuperCID is required first. While you can technically flash a ROM with the stock at&t CID, the CID must be changed before even getting to the flashing ROMs stage.

Help!

It looks like in my attempt to install a ROM and update TWRP I have managed to mess up something with my One X. I can get into the bootloader just fine, but cannot access recovery as it just loads a black screen. Subsequently, I cannot access the phone because of driver issues. Any help is greatly appreciated as I need this phone operational! Cheers!

Also, as per instructions:

Model: AT&T

Bootloader Details: N/A attempting to get into bios now. I know I'm S-On but will provide more information when I can get into it,

ROM: N/A was attempting to install KickDroidXL_V5/Latest CleanRom

Recovery: N/A cannot access, was TWRP

Events: Was attempting to install KickDroidXL but when I rebooted nothing happened, tried CleanRom install and same situation. I decided I would try and update TWRP using WinDroid HTC One XL Toolkit while I was thinking of a solution and now I cannot do anything past the bootloader. That includes getting access to my phone on my computer(apparently having problems with driver install on windows 7, HTC MTP Device fails to install). Also, I noticed shortly after my attempt at the TWRP upgrade that my computer was asking me to format my phone in order to use it. I most certainly didnt do that.

What I've tried: I have tried using linux/windows to recognize my phone as I would imagine thats the first step. Have tried HTC Sync manager and drivers from this thread "[DRIVERS] Latest HTC Drivers [4.2.0.001]" with not luck.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Ok, I recommend you stop using any toolkits and start doing these things manually, it's pretty straight forward. The peril of using a toolkit is that you have no idea what you're flashing, you can't even tell me which TWRP version you flashed. So lets with installing TWRP. Download

the modified version of TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:

fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"

(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now you should be able to enter TWRP from your bootloader menu.

Now, when you installed either of the ROMs you mentioned did you remember to flash the boot.img with fastboot afterwards too? Your phone is s-on so that's required with every ROM flash. My guess is that's why didn't boot.

You also said that Windows asked you to format the device (sd card). The only reason this would normally happen is if you had done a factory reset from the bootloader, which corrupts the sd card. This is a bug present on all modified Evitas, so only every perform a factory reset from recovery, never from bootloader. Have you done this at any point?

I'm confident we'll get your phone sorted out. Just follow the directions to get TWRP installed and we can go from there.

This worked! Ok so now I am in the latest TWRP recovery. Now, I am having trouble selecting the SD Card to mount so I can install a new ROM. I did do a factory reset from the bootloader. i will definitely not be doing that again lol. so, 2 questions. 1, how do i get access to my sd card and 2, i did not flash the boot.img with fastboot after i install the roms. what are the steps for that? do i install the rom and then before i restart go into the bootloader, into fastboot, and then flash boot.img? thank you so much for your help thus far!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
What you're gonna have to do is enter the wipe menu from the TWRP home screen, then select advanced wipe, then check sd card (or internal storage, can't remember what it is on that version) and wipe it. This should hopefully format it for you so you can mount it again. Just remember, never factory reset from the bootloader.

The steps for installing a ROM and flashing the boot.img can be found in my How-To Guide For Beginners thread. You'll find a link for that in my signature.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Glad to be of service. You should look into getting s-off on your device, it'll remove the need to flash the boot.img anymore. It's also required to flash the 2.15 firmware package which is needed to combat signal loss and random reboot problems on Sense 5 ROMs.

You're most welcome, this is what I mainly do here on XDA and I enjoy it a great deal. Do some reading in our forum and you'll find things start to make a lot more sense. Take a look at my FAQ thread too, that can be pretty helpful, link can be found in my signature.

There is a little lag in app drawer and screen is a little bit yellower screen compared to my friend's One X.

The most important is that I worry the phone was repaired (seller said not) or was damaged and will stop working after a period of time, not at the moment.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The app drawer lag isn't something that would be caused by water damage. There are three different screens from different manufacturers that have been fitted to this model of phone, one of which has a slightly warmer tone which would explain the yellowish tint to it. I think you'll be ok, water damage isn't usually something that manifests at a later time, it's almost always instant. If it's working ok now, I'd have no reason to believe it is water damaged. Of course that's just my opinion, but if it was my phone I wouldn't worry.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You'll need to install adb/fastboot on your PC if you don't already have it. Google search 'minimal adb and fastboot' and the first result should be an XDA thread that explains it all. You also need HTC drivers installed, you can get those from our general section. Once you have all that sorted out connect your phone in fastboot mode, open a command prompt from within your fastboot folder (navigate to where you have fastboot.exe located, shift + right click anywhere in the folder, select open command prompt here), and issue this command:

fastboot oem readcid

Let me know what it says.

Whether you want to go with the stock option or the custom option (I recommend custom) I'd suggest getting s-off now before doing anything else. Try the Rumrunner s-off method, you'll find the site here.

If you ever want to return the device to s-on all it takes is one fastboot command. You have very little chance of bricking your device as long as you are careful and only flash software/firmware that's intended for the device.

Best way to update nightly builds

I have a question about updating nightly builds. I have been using custom roms for a long time now but never posted to report bugs because of the 10 post gateway into the dev forums. Sorry about if this is answered already.

When updating nightly builds, what is the options and best practices for updating? I know there is a "clean flash," e.g. factory reset, flash, wipe caches and restore apps. There is also "dirty flashes" in where you wipe the cache and delvik cache and then flash the rom. Is a clean flash always needed or is there times, other than with OTA's, when a dirty flash is just fine?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Personally, I believe you should always clean flash. I always clean flash and I never, ever run into problems. Dirty flashing is recommended by some people but to be honest I believe it only leads to problems. All in all it only takes me maybe fifteen minutes to completely setup a ROM to my liking after clean flashing it, that includes exploring all options and tweaks. To me fifteen minutes isn't much to spend to make sure you've cleanly installed the OS.

When it comes to an OTA you have no choice but to dirty flash it. A true OTA only contains a partial OS, a few files/components which are necessary to upgrade certain features/stability/other things. Clean flashing an OTA will result in a phone that won't boot because it's not a complete OS.

Hi, It's me again.

I'm starting with S-Off but I cannot get it done by rumrunner method that you suggest. I attach what It has printed out.

Should I try this method? It requires SuperCID and look outdated compare to rumrunner.

By the way. If I want to start from stock, do I need S-Off? My HBoot is currently 2.14 (firm:3.17). The latest RUU I found is 1.89.841.9 with 1.11 HBoot. Is that ok to run the RUU?

And The process should look like this:

1. flash stock recovery

2. lock bootloader

3. run RUU.

Is that correct?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You can't run an older RUU while s-on, you need s-off for that. You can certainly try the Facepalm s-off method, it isn't outdated at all. You do need to have SuperCID for that one to work though. If you don't already have SuperCID you can try using the hex edit method.

N00b owner of HTC One X - Phone stuck in HTC Boot Loop

Hi! First, I want to thank you all for starting this thread to help n00bs like me. I have some experience with Motorola phones as far as rooting and loading ROM's go, but I am clueless about the process involved with HTC One X phones.

Just couple of hours ago, I acquired a AT&T branded HTC One X. It has boot issues, that I am hoping can be fixed. I have no idea what the previous owner did to this phone. I would like to revive this phone if possible, but I do not want to do anything stupid that would "brick" the phone, so I am seeking help from you experts. If you guys can point me to the right threads, I will try to follow those instructions. I just need little help understanding some basics.

ISSUE: When the phone is powered on, it displays HTC boot screen and it freezes there. There is no activity beyond the HTC "quietly brilliant" screen.

I am attaching a screenshot of the phone after I power off and reboot (power on + volume up) into bootloader.
