Its looks like it..

I guess I could install a ruu for German o2 (ive seen on androidruu) and then put the ota updates on. My network is o2 so I can't imagine there being too much branding by o2 Germany. The at&t have certain restrictions from what I've read.

Yes, I've noticed that the devs section has unbranded T-Mobile 4.2.2 sense 5. I've used twrp before so could go with that option.

Thank you very much for your time, at least half the job is done for me.. Oh, I meant to ask, does s-off and supercid persist after ruu's?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You can't take OTA updates with the device the way it is. Never, ever apply an OTA to a modified device. You'd first need to re-apply the stock o2 CID, and go back to s-on. Even after doing that there's no guarantee an OTA would actually work.

To be honest, I think your best bet is to flash TWRP and flash a ROM. Even some of the custom ROMs are pretty much stock (Kickdroid, Cleanrom), they just have some back-end optimisations.

S-off and SuperCID persist through the RUU because they're stored at a level that can't be touched by the RUU process.

Hello,

I have the Telstra ONE XL and I am trying to gain root and install a custom ROM. I unlocked the bootloader on HTC then flashed TWRP recovery, but I cannot boot into recovery.

I get to splash screen with red text, then it reboots into the OS. I have read that this means I need to flash a boot.img from a ROM, but as the phone currently boots into the original firmware and I am not sure if this will make it unbootable, I am not confident about trying this step, especially because I can't, as far as I know, back up the current firmware.

Device: Telstra ONE XL

Software: 1.89.841.9

Android: 4.0.3

Sense: 4.0

TAMPERED

UNLOCKED

S-ON

HBOOT: 1.11.0000

RADIO: 0.18c.32.09.01

Thanks in advance for any advice.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I'm pretty sure your barrier is your firmware, it's too old. The only problem with that is you have no way of updating it other than via the official route. And the problem with that is that you can't do that with an unlocked bootloader. So, what you're gonna need to do is relock your bootloader with this fastboot command:

fastboot oem lock

Once you've relocked your bootloader you'll need to go into Settings/About Phone/Software Updates and check for updates, and apply the update. After you've applied the update you can try flashing TWRP again. Make sure you keep the unlock token from when you first unlocked your bootloader and you can just flash that again instead of going through the whole unlock process again.

But, before you do that, and so I don't make you go through all that for nothing, lets check a couple things first. Where did you download TWRP 2.7.1.0 and what is the full filename? Also, can we just check your CID? You can retrieve it with this fastboot command:

fastboot oem readcid

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Ok, you're good to go. No matter how much you upgrade your device there's no obstacle to being able to unlock the bootloader. Only at&t devices are blocked at htcdev. But, I'd only take the next update or two (no further than 3.17) anyway though because from memory they introduced a real-only system partition after that which would prevent you from getting s-off, and you're gonna wanna get s-off.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PalladianPD:
Thanks for the super fast reply. I relocked the bootloader and I'll get the system updates as you mentioned. Will there be any issue updating as my recovery is non-standard (still says TAMPERED)?

EDIT: Looks like it doesn't want to flash an upgrade with my current recovery. Any suggestions?

EDIT #2: I can extract the default recovery from the OTA zip file. Perhaps I should flash that, then try the OTA update again?

No, I cannot boot into recovery. It now shows a ***SECURITY WARNING*** in the boot loader screen, I think because I have a custom recovery with a locked bootloader.

My plan is to unlock the bootloader, flash the standard recovery extracted from the Telstra 2.40 OTA, relock the boot loader, then complete the OTA upgrade. Does that sound like a sound plan?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:

Successful update to 2.40

Procedure:

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Extract recovery.img from OTA zip (inside firmware.zip)

3. Boot into fastboot mode. Load up the stock recovery.img from the previous step.

4. Test recovery by booting into recovery. OK

5. Re-download Telstra OTA and install.

The unlocked boot loader seems to have no effect on the OTAs.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You can use Rumrunner, but it doesn't work on all ROMs, Kickdroid seems to have the most success. Or you can get SuperCID using the hex edit method and then get s-off via Facepalm.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I'd just give Rumrunner a shot instead. You'll most likely need to flash the Kickdroid ROM purely to get Rumrunner to work properly. It's a bit of a screw around but it's worth it.

Greetings! First, I have spent the last two days tracking down everything I can, but I am still afraid That I just overlooked my solution somewhere. Sorry.

I have an At&t phone NOT on At&t service. I have full data and hotspot capabilty through my ISP. However, at&t has locked the hot spot function of their HTC one x. This is my primary objective.

I have decided to go ahead and use a custom ROM while at it. My goals now are to SuperCID, unlock bootloader, s-off, and then use either viper or Aokp.

I have installed the android ask, and drivers for my phone and have windows 7.

I have at this point attempted to follow your beginner's guide, and the Jose Method, and I prefer yours, so would like to trouble shoot from there. When I use "/data/local/tmp/xpwn" in the adv shell, I get a message that it could take a few minutes, and then it says "Failure". I have used the 3.18 RUU, even though my phone was already at that version per your recommendation to someone else with a similar problem in another thread. No change. I have all the other required files together in one folder with adv and fastboot.exe that are listed in your guide. Do you think you could offer any further advice or point out what I missed? I will provide and further information. I am an avid computer user and intermediate linux user. And am not worried about my own technical limitations. I can learn anything, eventually. ;)

Thanks for your help and contributions to this board.

I can't find anything that would be causing the process to fail for you, it all looks ok, but obviously it isn't. Have you attempted getting s-off via Rumrunner? If that can give you s-off (using the temp root component too) you can edit your CID with a fastboot and then unlock at htcdev.

Boot Animation

A new question for you, if you don't mind. I can't seem to find a resource here on XDA that seems really educational about boot animations, is there one I simply missed?

I think I may want to play with that, but I don't know yet the dangers involved if any if I just take an animation and name it bootanimation.zip, and install it via TWRP.

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It isn't as simple as that, to have a zip that'll flash through TWRP you need to also create an updater script and an update binary and have the zip put together in the correct format. You can do it a much easier way. Just find the existing boot animation (usually found in /system/media), and replace it with the one you want to use. Just make sure you set the permissions properly and the next time you boot up it should be all good. Make a backup of the original boot animation just in case.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Abiathares:
Got it! That was much less complicated than I was making it. In fact, I discovered after the fact my new ROM has a feature built in to install a custom boot animation. Thanks again!

Basically, I have no idea how the RUU process works now. I used it a lot with my old HD2 but the new format is just a big .exe that flashes what it wants to flash, and I don't know how to change that, nor have been able to find any information that clears up my confusion.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I'm not sure what you're asking. When running an RUU all of those things are updated whether you like it or not, is that what you meant? One thing to note, if your phone bootloops after running the RUU you'll need to run it again, that's a common bug with that specific RUU.

I'd like to get H-BOOT 2.18 (from AT&T) and radio 1.38 (from Telstra) on my phone. From what I can see those are the most updated versions. How might I accomplish that? Can I bundle them myself into a zip file and

fastboot flash zip mystuff.zip
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Why do you want that hboot? Or do you mean the firmware? There's no real advantage to just updating the hboot. Just because they're the most recent versions doesn't necessarily mean they're the best, especially when it comes to the radio. Radio performance can vary wildly from user to user as it depends on carrier, exact geographical location, environmental disturbances, among other factors. Someone in the same suburb (even street) as you can have a very different experience on the exact same radio. What I'm saying is you need to test for yourself. You don't need to stick to your carrier's radios, you should test a variety of radios and see what works best for you.

I also noticed that in your How-To Guide the 2.15 firmware had the CID in android-info.txt edited to 11111111 so I did the same, then flashed the whole thing using the commands in the aforementioned guide.

On an unrelated note I also found this little gem:

3.xx, 2nd release(Apr-Jul 2013):

Prevents writing supercid to partition mmcblk0p4/5. Camera and other performance fixes.

I believe that is what prevented me from getting SuperCID using hex edit, since I did install that OTA.

Afterwards you won't have root, because obviously a stock ROM isn't rooted. Unless you relock the bootloader beforehand, which you don't need to do if you have s-off, you don't need to unlock it afterwards. Once it's done just flash TWRP again and you can flash whatever ROM you like. Just remember to test your issue first though. There's an RUU tutorial thread here:

I'm reading your FAQ thread and I've found the answer to my reboot problem, question #23, but I have already done what is suggested.

I flashed the boot.img with fastboot after flashed the ROM, as explained in your guide at number 5 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2593382

I understood the problem could be a corrupted download but, how can I check it? How can I check the md5?

Most likely the case could be what explained at question #26, that contains both the problems that have occurred me:

losing signal (automatic airplane mode) and random reboots.

What do you think it is?

From what you have told me in the other thread, the RUU is not the solution for my case: what do I install?

Can you suggest me something? Can I install an Android 4.4 ROM?

Thanks

PS I add my fastboot log again
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Your problem definitely doesn't relate to question #23 in the FAQ thread (that describes a phone that will not boot at all after flashing a ROM), your problem is actually discussed in question #26 in the FAQ thread. Your best option is to get s-off (Facepalm S-off) and flash the 2.15 firmware package in my How-To Guide For Beginners thread. This will stop the random reboots and the loss of signal you're experiencing.

You can indeed flash a 4.4 ROM, but not with your phone in its current setup. You will still need to get s-off and update your firmware before you're able to flash KitKat.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] AlexIta:
Ok, but if I get s-off and flash the 2.15 firmware package I have to install again the ROM? I will loss the phone contents?

I saw I have the supercid but it is not recommended, except during the changes. Should I replace it?

Be patient, I'm not practical...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
No you won't have to flash the ROM again and you won't lose any data. Just boot the phone and continue as normal.

There's no special procedure for flashing KitKat, it's just like flashing any other ROM. But if you need a tutorial you can look in my How-To Guide For Beginners thread. One thing to note, once you have s-off you will no longer need to flash the boot.img with fastboot afterwards.

Who said SuperCID isn't recommended? It's actually the opposite, having SuperCID (in conjunction with s-off) is highly recommended.

None of the current KitKat ROMs are beta. Anyway, asking which ROM is best/most stable/fastest/prettiest, or asking for a suggestion isn't allowed so I can't answer that, here's why. To say one ROM is better is to infer that the others are inferior in some way. This is disrespectful to the devs who spend their spare time bringing us these awesome ROMs free of charge. Each user has different tastes anyway, the best way to see which ROM suits you is to flash a few and find out for yourself.

Sorry, I made a mistake to ask the question: I read that in your guide at #22, but I mean that because in the Android Development forums I've seen some versions of KitKat of different sizes, I do not know which is right for me, in terms of ease of installation.

I've seen ROMs that must be integrated with other applications (gapps), so I wanted to know if there is one already complete.

However, I understand that the question is not pertinent, so I will try to understanding the difference between them.
