Thanks heaps. Hopefully I'm ok from here. If not I'll be back here :)

Its times like these I feel dumb. The answer stares you in the face but ignorance prevails.

One last thing. I read somewhere that hboot 2.16 was not compatible with a lot of ROMs. Is that something I should be concerned with? (So much information, not much room left in the brain!!!)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Don't feel dumb, the amount of information here can be overwhelming, it happens to all of us at some point. Some ROMs might not have included the 2.16 hboot in their installer scripts yet. The best thing to do would be to get s-off, then you can just flash the 2.15 firmware package which is compatible with pretty much every ROM.

Recommended best s-off method?

And just to remind you....I was scared to do Advanced Wipe....imagine how I feel now? :laugh:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Can't really recommend one over the other because they each have their own benefits.

Facepalm S-off

Facepalm should theoretically work no matter what ROM is currently installed on your device, but it does require SuperCID. You can check you're CID by issuing this fastboot command:

fastboot oem readcid

This is the method I used to get s-off. It's a very manual process but the instructions are pretty self-explanatory.

Rumrunner S-off Thread

Rumrunner is a more automated method but can be a bit temperamental. It's recommended that you run a ROM with an unsecure kernel (like Kickdroid) if you're going to attempt this one. It's been known to take several attempts to stick.

Firewater S-off Thread

I have very little experience with Firewater. As far as I can tell it's much like the Rumrunner method.

okay I re-read everything and I finally rooted :) I changed my recovery and everything. Do I have to be s-off to install cm11?

S-off isn't technically required, but there's no reason not to have it, and it's very beneficial so you might as well do that now too.

I really appreciate the help :) since cm11 is a kitkat rom is there anything else I have to do to install it or I just install it like any other rom?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Just install it through TWRP recovery like any other ROM. You also need to install gapps with aosp ROMs. And make sure you're using a KitKat compatible recovery.

To use an RUU, do I need to relock my bootloader even if I'm S-OFF? I tried to use the RUU for 3.18 and got an "Unknown Error"..

---------- Post added at 02:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 AM ----------

Scratch my last question. I'm going to make a new thread because this issue seems to just not be going anywhere and I don't want to keep clogging up this thread.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
There's no need for a new thread, in fact it's against the rules to make duplicate posts. You don't need to relock your bootloader to run an RUU if you're s-off. There can be many factors which can disturb the RUU process. You need to make sure no other programs are running, make sure HTC Sync is uninstalled (not minimised, uninstalled), sometimes you need to turn off your anti virus software and firewall, make sure you're using an original HTC cable (or a cable that is not cheap and is verified to be working well with data transmission), make sure you're using a usb 2.0 port, and make sure your HTC drivers are correctly installed.

OK, so I d/l PAC-man rom and mounted -> flashed it and the flash failed :( It ran the boot script and said "error executing updater binary in zip". Failed to flash from sdcard.

Looks like it was the official version, because I got one step closer. I could boot into the rom but kept get "blahblah has stopped working. Blame the split screen" and couldn't go any further.

Tried VenomXL and got through the aroma installer successfully but it gets stuck in a boot loop. I flashed the boot.img manually to make sure (as per the installation instructions) and still nothing.

Trying again now with a fresh install of Venom.

Any tips while I wait?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I don't think Viper is compatible with the unofficial version of TWRP, you'd need to flash the official one again from here. Either that or just choose another KitKat ROM.

What are my options

Heya peeps, was hoping someone could help me with my stuffed Telstra HTC one XL (4G)

Basically someone rooted it for me and sorted things out and I'm not sure what went wrong or how this happened but the phone is pretty unstable and always crashing, turning off randomly, losing connection to cell tower (no service) and basically being unusable to the point I had to put my sim in an old iPhone just to use temporarily :(.

I want to be able to either re-root and redo the kernel and put a brand new rom on there so it's fresh and stable. Or just roll back to stock. As work has already been done on it and roms changed, etc (to be honest don't even know whats been done)... I would like some help with this as I don't want to brick it.

Any assistance, guidance and help with what I should do, and how I should do it what which tools/programs would be GREATLY appreciated.

Some information about the phone (and please let me know if I have missed anything or if you need anymore info);

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
This is why I'm totally against people rooting devices for someone else. Because someone else did all the work you've missed some crucial learning experience during the unlocking/rooting process. Out of interest, who rooted the device? Was it an XDA member? The first problem I have with them is that they've handed an unlocked device to someone who has no idea what they're doing (no offense, but it's true, and you need a certain level of knowledge to own a modified device), the second problem is that they've done it wrong.

There's no need to change your ROM or kernel if you like that ROM. But, if you want to keep it (or any Sense 5 ROM) you need to do a little bit of work. The reason you're having problems with your signal disconnecting and random reboots is because you have a firmware/radio mismatch.

What you need to do is get s-off via either the Facepalm S-off method or the Rumrunner S-off method. Once you have s-off you can go to this thread and follow the instructions in the first post to upgrade your firmware. Once that's done you should be totally stable. If you don't already have adb & fastboot and HTC drivers installed on your PC you're gonna need to do that first.

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.

hey I just wanted to ask some thing you may or may now know but I could use your knowledge..

Any way, I have an HTC Sensation XL and it fell off the second floor .. the soft keys still work as I see them light and vibrate on touch and the screen used to show white light but now its gone and it does have touch functionality since every time I press randomly on the screen music plays or camera focus sound works so I am guessing the phone is still good and needs a new screen

so if bought a new screen from ebay , for example this one :

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-LCD-Scre...item417ace5714

it does replace the broken screen but will it get the display back ? I really need your answer asap ...

I know its a one xl thread but on sxl thread there are no reaponses...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kodemage:
From the firewater site, they are extremely straightforward. ADB installed and working on windows 7. Phone is reset to factory settings 5.18 firmware displays in settings, all lock screen related security disabled, usb debugging enabled.(HERE?) reboot w/ adb reboot command, Push the 2 files, change their permissions, run temproot then firewater.

(HERE?) is where I feel I might be missing a step prepping the phone, before starting the actual rooting, s-off, cid change, htc dev unlock process.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
As long as you've made the appropriate changes beforehand (usb debugging on, screen lock off etc) you should be fine. This method is very touch and go though, it works for some, it doesn't for others. It may take several attempts to stick like Rumrunner.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I don't know much about the Sensation. My thought would be that if randomly touching the screen causes music to play or the camera to focus you have much larger problems than just the screen. It's might be worth trying, but to be honest I wouldn't bother on a phone of that vintage because there's most likely more internal damage.

Thanks for your help dude. I have played around with rooting before and after almost bricking my old S2 I sort of gave up on it lol. After what you posted I did a bunch of reading and have started understanding how things work again... slowly but surely.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Ok, so the digitizer is working but the LCD isn't working. I guess changing the screen will fix your problem, you might need to change the screen and the digitizer together though as they can be very difficult to separate without breaking. Check in the Sensation forum for details.

Also, a little background on how I got to where I am now, and how i ended up at the other thread. I am trying to install a 4.4-based ROM, and from what I understand, you have to have S-Off set in order to complete that process. I have the latest CWM already installed, so I deuced that the issue is probably the S-off setting, because a bunch of 4.4 roms have that setting listed as a prerequisite to installation.

Through research on a number of methods of acheiving S-Off, I ended up on the Facepalm process, but I may have messed up while going through that process. If you are familiar with that method, you have to at one point push the soffbin3 file onto your device, well I messed and put the zipped version and tried to finish off the process that way (I know, I should have read a bit better), anyway I figured out that issue but now that I have, the process won't allow me to flash the PJ8312000-OneX.zip file (i get the remote: 99 unknown fail error as opposed to the remote: 92 supercid! error that you are supposed to get).

So now I'm stuck, where i think I know what I'm supposed to do, but not sure where I am in the process or how to restart.

Thanks for taking the time, any and all help you can provide will be GREATLY appreciated!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Ok. Technically you don't actually need s-off to flash a KitKat ROM. However, you do need to run the 3.18 RUU, which requires s-off. That's probably why you can't flash KitKat, because your firmware is outdated. Try Facepalm again, if you get error 99 after flashing the PJ8312000 zip, just force a reboot to the bootloader (by using the volume down + power button combo) and start again, this time you should get error 92 like you want.

Once you've successfully gotten s-off you need to run the RUU which you'll find here:

http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_..._10.130.32.34_release_signed_With_Partial.exe

Once you've run the RUU you'll need to flash a custom recovery again. I'd strongly recommend going with TWRP, it's much better than CWM. You'll find the KitKat compatible version here:

I believe so. I ran the app Root Checker to confirm and it verified that I have root access. I've actually had root access for quite some time on this device, it's just that I don't install too many ROMs or update my bootloader, so that's why i have such an "ancient" bootloader version.

Also, there is no Super-CID message on my bootloader screen, should that be there? I rooted this device a while ago using the All-In-One Toolkit method, going through the HTC Dev process. It seems that, that may be an issue? Still a bit confused...

Is there another way to check root access besides the method I listed above?

S-off is usually not required to run an RUU. It is when you have SuperCID and you're running a jb RUU for our device, otherwise it'll brick. You don't have SuperCID though so you needn't worry about that. Exactly which RUU are you trying to use? Do you have the latest drivers installed on your PC?
