[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 1600RoadStar:
So, I've read most all of this thread and don't see this asked previously. I'm on Consumer Cellular using a completely stock AT&T HTC One X. If I temporarily pop in a relatives working AT&T on contract SIM card for just long enough to get the update will it work with no issues that way? Only problem I can see is they will have to have the micro SIM that I need. I really don't want to do the update manually unless I absolutely have to.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It might work, it might not. The only way to find out is to try.

One issue you might run into, is that if your device is not currently on the 3.18 software, you won't get the 5.18 OTA. The OTAs need to be installed in sequence, so if you've missed one, it basically "breaks the chain".

Really, what you are suggesting might work. But it sounds like it might be more work than just updating by RUU, especially if you have to obtain a microSIM for your relative. Especially with the backup solutions available (such as Helium), its really not that big a deal to setup your phone again. It also makes for a much cleaner and bug free update, as well; due to the very fact that existing settings and apps are not migrated.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 1600RoadStar:
Thanks for your response. I'm not worried about saving my data and getting my apps back, and I agree that it will be a nice clean update. But, from what I've read it sounds like I also have to get the phone to s-off first as a prerequisite to updating this way correct? That's what I'm looking to avoid.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
If your phone isn't modified and has never been modifIed you don't need to get s-off before running the RUU. It's as simple as connecting the phone in fastboot mode and running the RUU. You need to be 100% sure it has the at&t CID first though, you can check the CID by using this fastboot command:

fastboot oem readcid

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
RUU is only risky with s-on on a modded phone. In particular, SuperCID + S-on will brick the device on some Jellybean RUUs.

On a stock device like yours, RUU is a reliable update and recovery tool. Verify you have the stock AT&T CID as mentioned by timmaaa, and you are good to go.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 1600RoadStar:
Okay thanks, sounds good. I'll run that and post the results.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 1600RoadStar:
Thanks for your help. Just so I'm clear as to what you're saying, all I need to do then is follow the instructions in the first post. Copy the smaller file first, update using it, reboot and afterwards repeat the process with the larger file to complete it. Do I have to have the phone connected USB to my computer and do anything from there or do it all through the phone bootloader / recovery menu after the file(s) are copied over in sequence?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
No, we were saying the easier and safer option is to run the 5.18 RUU. You'll find it here:

http://dl3.htc.com/application/HTC_One_X_RUU_5.18.502.1.exe

It's an exe file so all you need to do is connect your phone to your PC and run the program. You just need to make sure HTC Sync Manager is uninstalled, make sure no other programs are running (in including anti-virus), make sure screen saver/hibernation is turned off.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 1600RoadStar:
Oh, okay I'm glad I asked. I thought there must be something else involved. :good: I've used the Android SDK in the past on an HTC but didn't know about this software.

Prior to downloading this software I plugged the phone in via USB and it automatically installed some things. The only entry in the program list is "HTC Driver Installer". I don't see anything for HTC Sync Manager but autorun did say there's an update for it, which I cancelled.

Should USB debugging be enabled or disabled?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You're gonna want to make sure you don't have HTC Sync Manager installed, it'll interfere with the RUU. So search thoroughly.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 1600RoadStar:
When connecting via USB it seems to load the USB driver and shows an autorun for the USB storage, and it loads a virtual CD drive which seems to contain the installation of the HTC Sync Manager, I cancelled the prompt to update/install it.

Cool. You should be good to go then.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 1600RoadStar:
Worked perfectly thanks again, that definitely was the best way to get it done. The extra bonus is getting around shameful AT&T not allowing the update to go through their MVNO services that are paying them well.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] angrysasquactch:
Hey guys,

Total noob here. I'm looking to update my rooted AT&T HTC One X to 4.2.2. Is there any way to do this? I realize it's probably in this thread, but the lingo is a bit much for me to comprehend. Or, the real reason I care to do this is that my phone intermittently thinks there is no SIM card, I've tried all the fixes to no avail (new card, tape on card, factory reset) and somebody mentioned it is probably a software issue and may be rectified with a new version of android. So an older version would do fine as well (on 4.0.3 currently), or some fix I haven't thought of yet, cuz it's only a couple more malfunctions till the thing gets a makeover with a hammer.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You can just run 5.18 RUU, but you must have s-off first.

I meant to update my post last night but I couldn't log on cuz I made a typo in my username lol.

Anyways, the lingo came back to me a bit, my device is unlocked, not rooted. I attempted unsuccessfully to root it before. Does this mean I can use this OTA update without bricking the phone? Anything I should check first just to verify my phone is non-rooted (ie. I didn't succeed without knowing it)?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Please post your bootloader details. 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.

Cool. You also need to check your CID to make sure you don't have SuperCID. For that your gonna need adb/fastboot installed. Once you have that all setup you can issue this fastboot command:

fastboot oem readcid

Sent from a crappy Samsung because my Evita died
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] angrysasquactch:
That is a play store program I assume. There's a few ADB things and a couple fast reboot programs. Which one do I need? The fast reboot thing doesn't sound like a big time power user like the ADB ones do, but none say anything about fastboot so I'm a bit hesitant to just go grab the wrong one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It isn't a Play Store app, it's a program that you run on Windows. Google search "minimal adb and fastboot" and click the first result.

OK got it installed and got my phone into usb debug mode. Using that command just leaves it stuck waiting for device. "abd devices" spits out " 'abd' is not recognized as an internal or external command..." Where am I going wrong now?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Is your phone actually in fastboot mode when giving the fastboot command? It must be booted into the bootloader and connected.

Sent from a crappy Samsung because my Evita died
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] angrysasquactch:
Alright, got it. Is this to check that it is in the special mode or did it put it in that non- superCID mode with the command. In any case, here's the report:

<bootloader> cid: CWS_001

OKAY [ 0.005s]

finished. total time 0.006s

Am I ready to go with the 4.2.2 now? I think I understand the method in the OP, just one thing. The vol+ and power button for stock recovery, is that the same button holding thing as to get to the bootloader or do I spam the buttons as fast as possible?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You're good to go but you don't need to follow the method in the OP, it's far more difficult. Just download the 5.18 RUU from here:

http://dl3.htc.com/application/HTC_One_X_RUU_5.18.502.1.exe

It's a Windows program so all you do is connect your phone in bootloader mode, run the program, and follow the prompts. Make sure there are no other programs running, make sure HTC Sync Manager is uninstalled (leave the drivers though), and make sure screen saver/hibernation is turned off. Do not disconnect the cable during the update, make sure your battery in your phone is above 60%, and of you're using a laptop make sure that has enough juice too.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
This is most likely false. AFAIK s-off in itself will not prevent you from getting an update or installing it. Custom recovery will force the update to fail, as OTAs require stock recovery to be present. This is the main reason folks with modded phones have trouble installing OTAs.

In fact, if you are modded or want to, s-off is probably the safest state to be in if you want to try to install the OTA. S-off virtually guarantees that any increased safety measures (which have been implemented with every new official AT&T firmware) do not close the loopholes needed for root, installing custom ROMs, etc.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] undivide:
has anyone got this OTA update with their AT&T One X(L) while not actually on AT&T network? I'm on straight talk. Don't think it should matter though. I might go back to stock today after something quirky happened to my phone where my alarm didn't go off 2 days in a row almost made me late for work!

"Increased safety measures"

What I'd really like to know is what "Increased safety measures", as redpoint73 mentioned, this update may have. I have a stock HOX and I lost wireless hotspot with the last update. I wonder what surprises this one may bring?

Bloat

In addition to the normal bloat that we are used to they have added KeyVPN, Keeper, and Lookout Security. None of which can be uninstalled without root.
