So there's nothing else I can do besides getting a new screen ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Not really, if your screen is gone it needs to be replaced.

Hello there, a very noob question here, though I have read and searched here extensively to try and find the answer.

I have a Rogers One X(L) Evita that had never been rooted and runs the latest stock firmware provided by Rogers (4.1.1)

I rather enjoy the stock function that HTC built into the OS, however have been experiencing regular battery drain and a very hot phone whenever I lock my phone with most apps still running (i. e. not on home screen)

I would like to try the HTC firmware (android 4.2) that was released elsewhere but not by Rogers.

From what I have read, I should be able to unlock the bootloader at htcdev.com and install any HTC firmware (ruu) I would like.

Is my understanding correct?

If I use an AT&T ruu, will that cause my phone to be restricted from unlocking bootloader again? Do I need to get APN setting for my phone if I install the above firmware?

I suspect I would end up with AT&T bloatware (no FM radio), would I have to root to remove that, or is another 4.2 ruu available that would be better.

What is the difference in a firmware from AT&T, Australia, Germany in practical terms for myself?

I have read and plan to follow the great guides put together by timmaaa and others. :)

Thank you,

David
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You can indeed unlock your bootloader very easily at htcdev. But, if you want to use a different RUU it gets a bit trickier. In order to run a non Rogers RUU you must have s-off, to get s-off you must have root and an insecure kernel. You definitely don't want to install at&t firmware, you'll be missing basic things like tethering and fm radio.

You don't actually need to use an RUU to have the desired effect though, you can simply install a custom ROM like Kickdroid, which is on the latest official Android version for this phone (4.2.2) and has a few enhancements thrown in for good measure. It will give you the same experience as running an RUU bit with less mucking around. You'll still need to get s-off, so you can update your firmware, in order for it to run correctly. Without the right firmware you'll face frequent signal losses and random reboots.

Here's what I think you should do:

Step 1. Unlock your bootloader at htcdev.

Step 2. Install TWRP 2.6 from here.

Step 3. Install Kickdroid 5.0 ROM from here.

Step 4. Get s-off with Rumrunner S-off.

Step 5. Update your firmware (see my guide thread).

Step 6. Enjoy.

Before you do any of that though I need to check your bootloader details. To boot into the bootloader there are two methods.

With phone powered on

Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding both buttons together), the button lights will start to flash, they will stop flashing and the screen will go blank, after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader.

With phone powered off

Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding both buttons together), after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader.

Please post the first five lines.

Thank you very much. Here is the bootloader info.

*** LOCKED ***

EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.14.0000

RADIO-023a.32.09.29

OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815

eMMC-boot

It seems that there are some details that I still don't understand. I had thought that a ROM and a firmware were the same thing. Is the Kickdroid 5.0 the insecure kernel that you referred to in your post. Does the "5.0" refer to Sense 5.0 or something else?

For the firmware, am i alright to pick a RUU for basically any other region/provider than AT&T?

I suspect that the answers to these questions are all in the links you provided. More reading for me, thanks for the links!

(i sometimes wonder if i'm one of the few that is so cautious before fiddling with my phone, spending way more time reading that it would take to just do all these things)

Thanks Again!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Firmware is a fairly ambiguous term, all it really means is embedded software. In terms of modifying Android, a ROM and firmware are usually referred to as two separate things, the ROM is the operating system, and firmware is things like touchscreen drivers, WiFi drivers, etc. In saying that though, sometimes a ROM will be referred to as firmware too. It can be confusing.

The 5.0 in the Kickdroid name just refers to the version (or build) number of the ROM, but it just so happens that Kickdroid 5.0 is indeed a Sense 5 ROM. For the firmware, you don't need to use an RUU at all. In my guide thread there is a section that explains how to flash the 2.15 firmware (named so because it contains the 2.15 hboot within it) using fastboot.

You're doing this the right way. I can't express enough how important research is when deciding to modify your phone, having a grasp on these things is so crucial. Too many people rush in and flash away, and they're the ones who end up in the q&a section with a thread titled 'halp, my fone won't booot!!!!!!', you don't want to be one of those guys so feel free to ask as many questions as you like.

Wow, just read though pretty much all of the kickdroid thread, you all do amazing work. I'm excited to get this all running (when I find the time) Silly question (if I wasn't a dad myself :P) how much time should I set aside to get my phone all up and running when I do this?

Also, do APN settings need to be manually entered still?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It's hard to say how long it's going to take, all things being perfect the entire process from start to finish shouldn't take any longer than half an hour, but that's with no snags and an experienced user full of confidence. Sometimes something silly like fastboot drivers not working properly can set you back days. Just set aside a few hours and see how you go. Just be aware that unlocking your bootloader will factory reset your device, so you'll lose your messages, call logs, system settings. I'm pretty sure it won't touch your personal data (images, music, etc) but if it's important to you make sure you back it up just in case.

I notice that your beginners guide speaks to flashing boot.img if your hboot is 1.14 or higher. Is that something i will need to be doing.

Hoping to get my phone improved today, i woke up and it was 45 deg C with LED flashing red & green :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yes, when you're s-on and have the 1.14 hboot or higher you must flash the boot.img via fastboot after flashing the ROM. Once you have s-off you won't need to worry about doing it anymore.

It seems i am now having issues with my computer recognizing my phone is fastboot mode. (computer running windows 8.1 :() "USB device not recognized"

I've done a search for solutions, which seems to suggest installing the Intel USB 3.0 host controllers (Though i am using USB 2.0 ports, not my single blue usb 3.0 port)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2256359

^do i need to do both the HTC window7/8 & Intel USB bits, or just the latter? (I already have installed HTC Sync, and will uninstall the Sync bit and leave drivers)

Does this seem like the proper solution? I guess i won't be having a nice "new" phone today.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Honestly, if you can, ditch even attempting to get fastboot working on Win8.1, it's almost impossible. If you have access to another PC, use that, Win8 or lower is fine. I've only ever seen two people who claim to have gotten it working.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tlazarus:
8.1 checks for a specific descriptor being sent when a USB device is connected. 8.0 and earlier did not. Our phones do not send this descriptor, and won't unless HTC updates their firmware to do so. One can get around this by installing older drivers, but it is complicated and only works if you have certain USB controllers. Timmaa is right - it is easier to use an older machine if you have access to one.

I've got an older WinXP laptop running and everything was running well.

Oh No, my fears are realized. I've followed your instructions up to the step of installing the KickDroid Rom. everything said it was successful. I wiped the dalvik cache (was successful) and went to the device reboot (in TWRP). it said there was need to fix root permissions error. So i swiped to to that. now my device has a black screen and hasn't seemed to reboot.

I thought it was because my phone was plugged in via USB, so i unplugged. (as that had prevented me to getting to bootloader mode in the past)

When i try to enter bootloader mode (hold Vol Down + power) i get the LED buttons on bottom flashing but then nothing.

I am not sure what i have done wrong. I feel very stupid now, and would appreciate any help you can provide.

:o

I did not get to the step of flashing boot.img Was that stupid

(because I thought i needed to run the fix root permissions)

Not being able to get to the bootloader is almost always a case of bad timing. To boot into the bootloader there are two methods.

Thank Timmaaa, you were right. I just was being impatient and panicky. I ended up holding down both vol down and power and the bootloader eventually came up.

Just trying to do the rumrunner s-off. Should be all set shortly. Then i will have to decide if i want to change the Kernel to ElementalX (or wahtever the one that 24ky suggests).

Oh joy, here are the random reboots, better get this rumrunner installed

How long does rumrunner take. it seems to be sitting at

"bottles are packed, here we go, shhhhhh...."

for a very long time (10-15 minutes)

From searching that phrase online it appears there are more steps to be taken.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It can be a bit temperamental, sometimes it can take a few tries for it to work. Make sure you're using the original HTC cable in a usb 2.0 port, and make sure your anti-virus and firewall are disabled.

Carrier Unlock w/ Customer ROMs

Hello,

Just wanted to ask a question. I want to carrier unlock my One X, and I'm currently running CleanROM 7.0.

I was wondering if i need to flash the original carrier ROM (in my case Rogers) before attempting to enter a carrier unlock code? Or does it matter at all? I'm asking because a few sites warns that their code will not work on phones that are rooted or custom roms.

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It should work as long as you're on a Sense ROM, which CleanROM is.

On this device, I wouldn't take the risk. Root, unlocked bootloader, etc are not compatible with OTA updates on this device.

Hi again, wanted to thank you for your advice for updating my phone. I'm getting a lot more comfortable with this stuff now, as I've reinstalled the ROM (Kickdroid) a couple more times trying to get some Google apps to work properly.

I see that some other people had issues with Google hangouts (noted in the kickdroid thread). Mine crashes when I try to make a phone call (the part that requires hangouts dialer )

Is this the right place to ask about how to debug this? I've been reading about logcats and have tried to figure out what from the logcat I need to post.

They are huge, where do I start?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
How did you install Hangouts? Did you download fresh from the Play Store? Did you restore a backup? Was it included in the ROM?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shanxk8:
Originally I let all Google apps install with the ROM (in aroma) and updated in the play store.

On the 2nd ROM Flash, I excluded all Google apps in the Aroma installer. If I remember correctly, I still had to delete Google Talk in titanium backup, as it still somehow was installed. Then after reboot did a fresh install from Google play (hangouts, hangouts dialer, and other Google apps)

Both result in the same crash when I make a call in hangouts.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It's a bit hard to say exactly what's causing the problem, but if you upload the logcat of the event to pastebin the Kickdroid dev should be able to look into it for you.

Hi All

I'm trying to move apps to SD and the devices tell me I need to root for this to happen. I went through the process of unlocking the bootloader only to have it remind me that it essentially becomes a factory reset, so I'm going to back up all my data and have a go on the weekend. I need to factory reset anyway as the phone has started lagging.

I have read that unlocking bootloader will allow the flashing of custom ROMs, which could include a ROM that is rooted. Is this correct?

If so can someone point me towards a stock rooted ROM, or the process of simply rooting the standard? I have no real desire to start playing with ROMs as the phone functions quite well it just requires a bit of cleaning it currently won't allow me to do.

android 4.2.2 HTC One XL (Telstra Branded)

I just want to delete some rubbish stock apps that I never use (like pocket news) and move the unessential apps like games to SD card as well as delete the hideously bulky little demo movies that these things have to free up some space.

Thanks in advance, and sorry if this is the wrong spot.

If you need any other info on the device let me know and I'll hunt it down. I'm not new to this kind of thing but it has been a while.

Cheers

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Unlocking the bootloader will allow you to install a custom recovery (TWRP), and having TWRP will allow you to install custom ROMs, or root your stock ROM. My guide thread contains instructions on how to do either. You can find custom ROMs in the two development sections

Android Development

(Mostly Sense ROMs)

Original Android Development

(Aosp ROMs)

Its been a long evening but I am now using CryogenMod 10.2.1 which is 4.3.0 and I finally got the gapps flashed so now I'm chasing all my old apps back because my weekend is almost over.

How do you tell if your phone is rooted? Mine is still s-on at last look on the bootloader, 2.15 so I had to flash the boot.img after flashing the rom.

If you're running CM, you're rooted. Custom ROMs come pre-rooted. S-on/s-off and root are two completely different things.

That's what I had thought. Is the superuser option in the system menu the only way to tell if they are rooted or is there a bit of info on the bootloader screen that I can't read?

I hit the sack late last night after downloading most of the apps I use and today I started setting them up and moving the big ones (CoC etc) over to the SD and it works a treat.

From memory I think only the stock messaging app can restore backups that were made by the stock messaging app. It's better to make a backup with a backup app from the Play Store and then restore with the same app. Too late now, I know, but it's good info for future reference.
