Thank you for reply and help so far Timmaaa I really appreciate it.

So between working constantly & my sister being busy, I FINALLY got my hands on the phone and started working on it earlier today! And now I'm not sure how to proceed...

I downloaded the 3.18 RUU:

RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Cingular_US_3.18.502.6_Radio_0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34_release_signed_With_Partial

Downloaded from AndroidRUU site because I couldn't find it on HTCDev, ran the RUU and it failed:

ERROR: [158]: IMAGE ERROR

The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.

Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.

Re-downloaded and ran the RUU 3 times (from same and only host I could find), verified I have original HTC cable, USB 2.0, no HTC sync, and adb/fastboot recognizes device and all commands appear to be working fine. (I am running Win7 Ultimate x64 if it helps? )

Here's the interesting part - it appears to update the HBOOT and then fail from there. When running RUU again now it says

Current info about your Android phone- Image version - 3.18.502.6 - before clicking update in RUU application.

Phone now shows:

Bootloader:

Software Number

HTC SDK API level

So i think it only updated HBOOT, and I still can't get past that part when trying to update in RUU. Keep getting the same error, 158 Image Error... not sure how to procced. I tried searching the web all over for a mirror of 3.18 RUU to no avail. I did some research and it sounds like now S-ON needs to be S-OFF to continue, but figured I should STOP and post progress before I end up with a nice shiny white brick my first time playing with an HTC device! Timmaaa could you please point me in the right direction?

Again thank you for the work you've put into helping myself and others, it's truly appreciated.

My only question for you right now is this:

Did you read the most important part of my reply and actually check your CID before running the RUU?

Transmitted via Bacon
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BlastingFurnaces:
Yes, very first thing I did after checking drivers and checking adb by running "adb devices" was run the command "fastboot oem readcid" and got CWS__001 before running RUU first time, it appeared to be OK & ready :/ I believe I followed all instructions exactly as listed, that's why I'm now stuck. I also noticed after trying to run RUU each time after exiting, phone loaded up just fine back to old Android... Not sure what to do, seems strange.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Ok, just needed to check as you didn't state that in your reply. There should be no reason for the RUU to fail, it looks as though you've checked all the boxes and met all requirements. You could try the more recent 5.18 RUU, the only problem with that is that it's a bit more complicated to get the bootloader unlocked on that firmware. Or you couldjust head over to the Sunshine S-off page and give that a go, it will cost you something like $25 though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BlastingFurnaces:
Woops! "I believe I followed all instructions exactly as listed, that's why I'm now stuck. I also noticed after trying to run RUU each time after exiting, phone loaded up just fine back to old Android... " was supposed to say "I believe I followed all instructions exactly as listed, that's why I'm worried that I'm stuck now. I also noticed after trying to run RUU each time after exiting, phone loaded up just fine back to old Android... "

Sorry I wasn't clear, guess that's what I get for being on xda at work and trying to hurry up and post while boss is turned around! :eek:

But regarding trying 5.18 RUU alright, I'm all for whatever you think is best - or what you would do if you were in my shoes .

Before I do, do you know of any other sources for the original 3.18 RUU? Maybe for some reason that hosted file just won't transfer correctly onto my PC? Idk...

Only working link I could find was Android RUU site, because for some reason on HTC dev the only ones I see when doing a search are for USA AT&T HTC One are 1.73 & 1.85 :confused: Could being on Win7 64 bit have an effect on this? (I can start virtual machine w/XP 32bit or pretty much any other OS w/working USB port if need be? )

If not, if I go with the 5.18 you said it's more difficult but getting to an unlocked bootloader, S-OFF, TWRP, root/superSU is still possible right?

I apologize for the million questions, but I really do appreciate you taking time out to help me. And in the end, if all goes according to plan, you'll have helped make one VERY happy young lady (my sister! :laugh: )

Thanks again

EDIT: Forgot to add that I'm really not trying to spend $ if I can avoid it for right now... trying to save up my pennies to I can buy the shiny white variant of your current device for myself! That 16gig white OnePlus One has seriously calling my name for too long now!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Unfortunately HTC have removed the original source for the 3.18 RUU so AndroidRUU is the only place to get it at the moment. You can check the md5 to verify its integrity, it is:

Unlocking the bootloader, rooting, TWRP, s-off, is all possible after running the 5.18 RUU, it's just a bit more complicated to get done. It's outlined in this thread:

Here's what I did...

**EDIT: I have something like a solution. I was able to sideload another ROM (this one from T-Mobile, Germany) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2423735 and everything sprang back to life. The phone now works (so far). Curious as heck to know why this ROM behaves differently to the six or so others I've tried, but I'll take what I can get at this stage.

Dear Timmaaa, Thanks for answering, I let things gel for a few days while I returned to work. I would certainly have preferred the 30 second fix you mentioned. I'm hoping I'll learn something from this ordeal. Certainly reading forums is key but there are so many forums it's difficult to choose wisely (except for my choice to post here, of course). I found that because very few forums expire, one can easily go down a road that has been fixed since the post was made. The advice floating around regarding S-OFF makes it a scary prospect.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2155071 is the method I used to get S-OFF - This is known as the "Facepalm" method.

I then updated HBOOT by way of a firmware upgrade according to this post:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_evita

All of the above went perfectly fine.

As I mentioned, I tried several different ROMs (CM and others). The one that loads without difficulty via sideload is:

10.1.3-RC2

http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/40503/cm-10.1.3-RC2-evita.zip

This doesn't load without modifying the updater-script to allow for HBOOT 2.18.0000 (it wants 2.15.000).

clockworkmod recovery (the one recovery I mentioned I could get to work) has all functionality except for the ability to mount /sdcard/. Looks like there is consensus that TWRP recovery is capable of fixing that but I can't get TWRP to flash and then work.

The weirdest part of this is that everything up to the ROM flash went perfectly fine.

Longing for that chance to take the 30 second option, but that train has left the station. Again, any advice very welcome.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] schadenfreude2250:
Everything working as it should?

Not quite...

back to a state where I lose the signal often - seems to relate to the actual signal from the tower - crappy signal, more drop-outs (didn't happen at all in Sydney where I work, happens all the time at home in the bush).

Followed the link to the ROM I'm using which says...

If you experience data drops, flash zarboz's kernel: http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=45089267

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip beastmode_tester2.zip

sending 'zip' (7971 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.041s]

writing 'zip'...

(bootloader) zip header checking...

(bootloader) zip info parsing...

FAILED (remote: 24 parsing android-info fail)

finished. total time: 1.300s

Can't find anything useful about "remote:24 ..." Still scouring the forums for a fix - any hints? There's no MD5 to use to check the quality of beastmode_tester2.zip and trying to find something "better" highlights that it isn't entirely clear to me how the kernel and the ROM are related - I'm assuming that (e.g.) 4.2.2 has a specific kernel that wouldn't work with (e.g.) 4.2.1 - the postings related to zarboz's kernels are not clear since there's no descriptor in the filename (or MD5) - at least in the forums I've read so far.

I'm reading up on sleep mode now...certainly there's a time element to my drop-outs (but using the same phone for 3G access - yes I'm a sucker for punishment).

Thanks for persevering with me (and everyone else on this forum).

Cheers!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Please post your bootloader details, the first five or six lines. Beastmode is more a workaround, the actual fix is the correct hboot/baseband/firmware combo.

Your problem is a radio/firmware mismatch. Go to my guide thread here and flash the 2.15 firmware package, make sure you flash it twice otherwise your radio won't be updated.

Timmaa is a legend

Timmaaa, you're a legend!

Bringing HBOOT back down to 2.15 by flashing the firmware you recommended seems to have fixed my issues. I've flashed TWRP and then tried flashing cyanogenmod 10.2.0. No reboots, strong signal but the 3G displayed only G - never H+. My wife's One X (cyanogenmod 10.1) was simultaneously showing H+ while mine shows a constant G. I duplicated her APN settings to no avail.

Getting bolder, I downloaded CandyKat ROM 4.4.4., flashed it and it seems to be working flawlessly (including H+).

Noob question - how are the radios and the ROMS related and is there a table or other thing to identify that (e.g.) when using ROM X, use firmware Y?

Also, Can I ask what alerted you to the radio/firmware mismatch?

Cheers and thanks a million!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
There's no table available but your current configuration should allow you to run any ROM with no issues, I'm not sure why CM was giving you hassles. The mismatch was clear by looking at your previous hboot version and baseband version in the bootloader details you provided. Glad to help!

I'm having major battery issues that seem to be stemming from changing networks. I got my One X with an AT&T contract 2 years ago and when the contract expired last month I decided to switch to T-Mobile. I requested for AT&T to unlock the phone for me since it was off contract, and they did. Everything was working fine until just a few days ago. After noticing really atrocious battery consumption, I installed several apps including better battery stat and GSam. The problem at the time appeared to be partial wakelocks. I tried a few different things with mostly unimpressive results, but what made the most difference was when I did a factory reset through TWRP. I'm currently running CleanROM (7 i think?) and for several hours after resetting I had perfectly normal battery life. Then I put in the sim card and things went to hell. This has led me to believe that my battery problems are in some way related to the T-Mobile network, but I haven't been able to find enough information to help myself on my own. If anyone has experienced this issue, I'd really appreciate some pointers.

Are you using LTE/4G or 3G? How's your signal strength? I don't mean the bars in the status bar, I mean the actual strength measured in decibels, you can find this by going into Settings\About Phone, I'm not sure of the next step because the Sense menu differs from AOSP and I don't use Sense.

I used to have network mode set to 'auto', but for the last few days I've had it on WCDMA (3G?) only.

At the moment, I'm at home and my signal strength is moving from -97dBm to -87, and now -83. (alternately 15 and 16 asu following the dBm)

The biggest drain was at work, so I'll have to check there tomorrow morning and see how the signal is.

I have a picture of my GSam graph from this morning showing my signal strength spiking into "low" a few times, but I can't link to it because I don't have enough posts here yet.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Your signal strength isn't low enough (it's low, but not super low) to cause severe drains. I'm not familiar enough with the American networks to comment on how at&t and T-Mobile differ from each other.

I got a telstra htc one xl, so disjointed with the OS shipped with .. no file manager, telstra and htc bloatware and nag screens etc,

I attempted to install CM 10.2 and in the process factory reset my phone and lost the original OS which might have been a blessing.

Anyhow finally got kickdroid XL with xposed going on it, a few unexpected random phone power offs, not great battery life... reception about the same. actually i prefered the ics camera soft to the jb version...

Is there any benefit in going for a slim kat or Karbon Kat version?

look forward to your recommendations please... :confused: ty
