Yeah that's right, you should make a backup before flashing anything really. And yes, you do this by using the backup feature in TWRP to backup system/data/boot.

Just be aware that backups take up a lot of space on your SD card. Once you have a backup you really only need one. If you find a ROM that you like better, back it up and delete your old one, or copy it to PC if you want to keep it.

Will do when I get the chance. SuperSU isn't working giving me an error saying, "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" I'm assuming this is because I haven't flashed recovery yet? Downloaded rootchecker and it says I don't have proper root access.

Edit: After reading some other threads, it appears the red triangle is stock recovery and I don't have root access. exad mentioned that I it's possible to receive OTA updates after running RUU (I have SuperCID,CID-11111111 so I don't think OTA will work unless I change it back which I don't remember what the original key was) , not sure what the advantage would be there as I still want to gain root access and flash a sense 5 custom ROM (which I know I have to update to firmware 2.15). I'm hoping flashing the custom recovery manually will give me root access? idk, lost here
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mpulford311:
Tried flashing the RUU in a zip file and still nothing. Nothing wants to take. Can I try to flash a different RUU even though I have 2.14 hboot?? Can I try to do s -off Or another procedure to try to get root?? I'm not that stupid when it comes to this sort of thing, but this HTC has me going crazy.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I wouldn't bother going with the OTA route, there's no advantage (more like a disadvantage), and you'd have to revert to stock CID

You need to flash the custom recovery (with fastboot), that won't give you root but it allow you to install root via Superuser/SuperSU or a rooted ROM.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Did you extract the RUU? You need to extract it and then flash the components individually in rebootRUU mode I believe. You can't run any other RUUs because there are no higher ones and you can't RUU backwards while s-on. You can't get s-off because to do that you need at least an unlocked bootloader and root.

How do I determine what firmware version I have? I need to search how to gain root access and flash a rom.

EDIT: nvm, software: 3.18
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Your bootloader displays your current information, my bet is that it's the 2.14 firmware that you got by running the 3.18 RUU.

You don't need root access to flash a ROM, the root access comes by flashing a ROM. At this point all you should need to do is flash TWRP with fastboot, then you can flash a ROM (which will give you root).

This is indeed a noob-friendly q&a thread, but if you read the OP (did you?) It states very clearly that I expect members to abide by the first rule of XDA and search thoroughly before posting here.

If you're running a particular ROM (CM, for example) it's your responsibility to keep up with what's happening with the ROM, you can do this by subscribing to the ROM thread and to the dedicated Q&A/T thread for it. I see that a link has been provided to you, but it would have only taken a quick peek at the last five pages of the afore mentioned threads to find what you were looking for.

So, yes this is a noob-friendly q&a thread, but it is not a lazy-friendly q&a thread. To me being rude is not pointing out that someone broke the rules by not searching, it is someone not searching or reading the OP of the thread they're posting in.

RESOLVED

This is definitely my fault for possibly bricking my phone as I was just too impatient and was trying to get it rooted before I leave on my trip...

I have the AT&T One XL and I followed the WinDroid Universal HTC Toolkit v1.1 and got the unlock bin and set up TWRP. Next step I had downloaded CleanRom 7.0R2 and followed the instructions to install. Now when i boot the phone, it will load into the HTC screen and then the screen goes black. I didn't perform a backup before installing the new ROM and this is where I'm stuck.

I can get into recovery but I can't mount the phone or even find the folder where CleanRom was installed in.

touch panel issue

i read post that mentioned if i updated to 2.14 or 2.20 firmware that in order to go back to older sense rom need to downgrade the touch panel firmware. the easiest way for me to do that was to flash an older stock Ruu or exe. since i upgraded the touch panel has shown 2 touches on the right side of the digitizer when only using one finger. the downgrade did not help and running a newer or older rom sense or aosp has not shown to fix the issue. in my mind the problem is definatly on the phone or in the software where it is not being flashed over to fix the issue. have you seen this behavior before. i can flash touch panel firmware but cannot find the files on the phone itself. was thinking i could delete the files on the phone and let it regenerate or flash another after. I am running 2.14 now with super cid and s-off with the latest touch panel firmware and ViperXL rom. I obtained super cid with cydia impactor, and unlocked bootloader with HTC-dev. Rooted also with cydia, and running TWRP 2.7.0.8. and by the way the touch panel works fine in TWRP but not in any ROM. any ideas...

That's one huge paragraph. As far as possible solutions go it looks as though you've tried them, although I'm confused as to why you mentioned using an RUU or an exe. An RUU is an exe. Have you tried flashing just a firmware package (maybe 2.15)?

Just saw other thread about this issue, I'll paste this there.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrage:
Hey timmaaa, posting here because I don't have enough posts to put it in the dev thread. This pertains to KarbonKat. I'm running the latest version, 1.0-13, and the latest Torched kernel. All's working pretty well. I've noticed, however, that no matter what I set pocket mode to, the proximity sensor stays on so long as I have "Wake on Notification" enabled. I would assume that this is expected behavior, so as to prevent the screen waking while in the pocket. So those who are observing that their proximity sensor is always on even with pocket mode disabled (I've seen several posts in the thread saying as much) should try disabling Wake on Notification.

Conversely, if either Pocket Mode or Wake on Notification is an important feature to someone, there's not really any battery usage penalty incurred by enabling both in terms of the proximity sensor, as it's going to be on anyway. (Additional screen wakes notwithstanding.)

I wonder if it would be possible to have Wake on Notification only poll the proximity sensor as-needed instead of staying on all the time. For instance, if I disable Pocket Mode and Wake on Notification, and enable s2w, s2s, and pocket detection, the pocket detection for s2w works without the proximity sensor staying on constantly. I understand why Pocket Mode needs the sensor always on, but seems to me Wake on Notification should be able to work more like the s2w pocket detection; am I off-base with that logic?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Your logic seems sound to me. But I'm wondering how pocket detection for s2w works without the proximity sensor.

android tuner problems

Hi guys.

my first post so here goes. I have been having problems with my one xl overheating and shutting down when in the car using "google navigator" while logging my track with "maverick" and using the speedometer overlay from "ulysse speedometer " After about 30minutes it shuts down.

I purchased Android tuner to try to log cpu temperature with a view to slowing down the cpu and controlling priorities of the apps.

It seems I need to "root the phone" to unlock these features. I went to HTCdev.com and followed the unlock routine which seemed to work but i'm not sure what to do next to unlock the features in "Android Tuner"

If you'd like to retain your stock ROM but have root privileges, you just need to flash a root app like SuperSU. You'll find it here:

In order to install it properly you'll need a custom recovery, like TWRP, you'll find downloads for our device here:

Full instructions on how to install it are in my How-To Guide For Beginners thread, you'll find a link in my signature.

Now, onto the bad news. The overheating you've been experiencing is because those apps and processes you've been using in your car are very CPU and battery intensive, the heat will be even worse if you've got the device connected to a charger. Underclocking the device will probably not really stop the problem. But, you could try messing around with combinations of custom ROMs and kernels to see if that helps or not.
