Battery life is very subjective, it differs greatly from user to user because everybody uses their device differently, they have varying signal strengths, among many other factors. You haven't given any of the pertinent information required to really be able to investigate your problem properly. Please see the OP and provide the information requested there.

First off, many thanks for the wealth of knowledge in these forums. I have managed to get Viper 4.2 up and running with SuperCID, s-off, unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, running firmware 2.15 with its 1.31 radio, and ElementalX kernel. Very happy overall. My question is, (ignorant though it may be,) would it be of any use to flash the 2.18 AT&T USA update with the 1.35a radio? I have dropped a couple of calls and feel it might be worth it to see if I could improve on my signal. I hadn't seen this idea discussed much except for one guy in the latest AT&T update thread, so I wanted to check first - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50248108&highlight=viperxl#post50248108
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I can't say for sure whether it's going to be of any use to you or not, you'll only really find out by flashing it. If it turns out to be a bad move you can quite easily flash back to the 2.15 firmware though, so I say give it a go.

Unfortunately I don't think you can, it looks like your phone is bricked. You can try holding down the power button, or holding down volume down + power, but if neither of those work (which I don't think they will) you're fresh out of luck. I think your only real option is to have a jtag repair done. Did you do anything else at all to the device apart from flashing the recovery?

Wiped all but TWRP

Ok, so I ended up with a soft-bricked boot-loop and was able to force a bootloader menu to popup via adb. I ended up wiping everything off. I can get into TWRP just fine, but I apparently don't know what I am doing to rebuild the system. Where do I start?

I've pushed my kernel and ROM to the device, but I am obviously missing some steps (partitions etc.) to get them installed properly.

Would it be easiest to find a complete restore file and start over from there or rebuild from scratch?

What do you mean by CL? Downgrading the hboot won't help you, it'll actually hinder you. Whoever told you that doesn't know what he's talking about. What you need to do is update your firmware via the 3.18 RUU.

Sent from my Evita.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pacman009:
My bad, by CL I meant Craigslist. So all I need to do is run RUU, which from a previous post of yours these are the instructions to do this. "download it (make sure it's an exe file, not a zip), connect your phone to your PC in fastboot mode, and run the RUU.exe program. After that you just need to follow some prompts. Just make sure no other programs are running, make sure screen saver/hibernation is turned off, and make sure HTC Sync Manager is uninstalled (leave the drivers installed though). You must get s-off before running the RUU though, very important." Correct? Then I should be able to "flash TWRP again and install a jb ROM of your choice." Seems like getting S-off was my only obstacle. Hopefully installing the RUU will be as easy as it sounds
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Erk, getting Android advice on Craigslist? Probably not the best idea in the world. You essentially don't really need to be anywhere except XDA, this forum has all the info you'll ever need.

Hi, thanks for this thread. I really needed a space where I could ask without feel embarrassed :cowboy:. I just successfully flashed ViperXL 4.2.0 but I had some problems in the way.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Madcat8686:
There is nothing wrong with the "tampered" flag. You get that when you unlock your bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ivanferb:
Thank you Madcat8686! Should I do something else? I've seen that some people re-lock the bootloader or change the kernel.

Any reason I can't install a JB ROM with Sense 5? Any recommendations on which ROM, mostly looking for 1. stability 2. battery life 3.performance. I've looked over the resource compliation of ROM, just curious if you have any you like more then others
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Madcat8686:
There's no need to relock your bootloader once it's unlocked unless you intend to go back to fully stock (and even then you have to do that in a certain order so you don't brick the phone.)

The Kernel change is completely up to you. It all depends on what customization you want. If everything is running good you can stick with the stock Kernel. Most folks change Kernels to get the swipe to wake or double tap to wake features or to overclock/underclock and change the voltages.

---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------

If you followed Timmaa's recommendations and have bootloader unlocked, custom recovery flashed, phone rooted, S-Off, then you should be able to flash a JB Rom.

As for the Rom recommendations, you must refer to the rules here in XDA. It's simply not in the spirit of this forum to recommend a developer's work over another's. It implies that one dev's work is inferior in some way. These guys work very hard for free and donations to bring all the cool stuff we have available for our phone. If anything, go back and hit the thanks button a couple of times and maybe donate if you feel so inclined.

What I can say is read through the threads and make an informed decision.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yeah, there are some programs you can use to extract the components of the RUU, I normally wouldn't recommend that method but I think you'll have to.

As Madcat pointed out, asking which ROM is better/most stable/favourite isn't allowed so we can't answer that question.

Sent from my Evita.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I think you're misinterpreting why people relock their bootloader. The only reason people ever do this is when they're returning their phone to a completely stock state. This is something you don't need to do. If you want to use a custom kernel you can if you think the features will be beneficial to you.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
One thing I might add, know what you're doing before you do it next time. Toolkits might seem like an easy way to get things done but the fact that you don't even know what recovery you flashed is testament to the fact that toolkits see dangerous, they allow you to do things without having a clue about what you're doing or learning anything. Learn how to do things manually, it's really easy. I'm pretty sure I've even linked you to my tutorial thread at one stage, which has complete directions on how to complete the most commonly used operations.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] whitmell:
Thanks! I know we can't ask what the most stable ROM is, but are there any JB ones that are well established? I've found you can't always go off what's at the top of the list in the forum b/c some of the more established ones may not have had any recent posts in their thread. I was using uXylon before and that was pretty good but ended up switching to KK after random reboots started to become a problem (after half a year of use). I'd try a bunch out but I just don't really have the time to spend re-setting up my phone a bunch of times.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Unfortunately the only way you're going to find out which ROM works best for you is by trying a bunch of them out. Asking for a recommendation on a ROM is in the same category as asking which is stable, we don't allow it. I had good experiences with several jellybean ROMs.

My question still stands though, why on earth does it matter? It's not like you're about to shoot the next Sundance winner on your Evita, and 26fps is broadcast standard frame rate anyway.

2) Do you all use hangouts as SMS provider?

3) CAMERA SOFT!!! I cannot find nothing nearly as good as the one provided by the sense 5 UI...

4) In the overall speed, do you notice the device faster? (than for example a rom with 4.2.2 and sense 5)

Thank you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
1) It's just you.

2) I've just started using the most recent version of Hangouts.

3) What the hell does camera soft mean? I find the images I take using various cameras are just as good as images taken with the Sense camera. You can find a side by side comparison here, you can't even tell the difference between the two in that thread, and the aosp (and third party) camera(s) have only improved since then.

4) Aosp is absolutely faster than any Sense ROM.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FedericoUY:
I mean a camera app (soft=software), the one provided in sense, takes pictures of the exact size of the screen, the rest does in a smaller format, EVEN using the 8MP of the camera. And the bundled tweak options of the sense app for the camera are just better. For me it would be enough if the app would take the pic in the size of the screen... Am I missing something?

PS: There, in your comparison, you can see how the sense pics are wider... That's what I'm looking for, a app that lets you decide the kind of pic you will take. This comes also with videos...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Ok lets just get one thing straight, soft does not equal software, soft equals the opposite of hard. Using the word soft in place of software doesn't make any sense and only creates confusion. In future if you're talking about software I would suggest you actually use the word software otherwise what you're saying doesn't make any sense.

There are several third party camera apps that allow you to take photos in a 16:9 aspect ratio, off the top of my head I can think of Focal, and Snap Camera. If you do desperately want to use the Sense camera, why don't you just run a Sense ROM?

want to use sense camera, but that a strong point in favor of sense roms. Anyway, that only reason will not make me return to one of this roms. I'm just trying to get a application for the camera that let me take pictures widely like the sense application does.

Btw, focal app shows all the screen at the moment of focus the image (like 16:9), but after the pic has been taken, the size looks just like the aosp camera app. Didn't like this application because it has a bug going from video mode to picture mode.. At least my phone did it.

Will try the other one you mentioned. Thank you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Soft is not a noun for software, I have never (not even once, anywhere) seen software referred to as soft. If you can link me to some examples (even just one from a credible source) I'll eat my words.

Anyway, like I said, you can take images in a 16:9 aspect ratio with Focal, I wouldn't have said so otherwise, you just need to look in the settings. By all means try Snap Camera as well though.
