[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BigWopHH:
Hello,

I've got an HTC One X here that already has TWRP v2.1.8.1 installed and an unlocked bootloader, but no OS on the device. I'm trying to flash a ROM, but everything I've downloaded throws an "assertion failed" error.

I'm assuming the bootloader on the phone is too old to work with the newer ROMs.

Is there any way to revert to stock? I tried running the stock RUU and it throws an Error 170.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Do you have the HTC One X (Endeavoru) or the HTC One XL / at&t One X (Evita)?

It's an Evita--AT&T HTC One X.

Not sure which bootloader is on it (HBOOT below?). Info before entering recover says:

eMMC-boot

Apparently it had some version of CleanROM before installed. So, I tried the latest CleanROM, CandyKat, and PacMan for Evita.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The aosp ROMs (CandyKat, PacMan) won't install because your firmware is too old. Kickdroid should install though, which version did you try? Which error did you get? Which version of TWRP do you have installed?

Transmitted via Bacon
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BigWopHH:
Thanks for the help. Going to give Kickdroid a shot right now. Assuming it works, can I then install the stock RUU, do all of the OTA updates, and then install some of the AOSP ROMs?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
No, once you have Kickdroid installed you use Rumrunner to get s-off, then you can flash the firmware package from my guide thread to bring your phone up to date. Don't ever take OTA updates on a modified device.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If you a custom recovery, or xposed, or have altered/removed any system apps, the Ota will fail.

You are s-off and super CID. Why not just flash the new firmware manually?

See the "flashing firmware without the panic attacks" guide in development section. ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hossamkhalil89:
thank you sir .. flash firmware will get me to stock and update ota with no problem or what ??

btw which firmware to download ... or my super cid will accept any firmware number !!!

my now software no. 2.22.531.6 not in the "flashing firmware without the panic attacks" ??

am sry just changed from iphone, and i barely understand you
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Don't do it!

Seriously, do not go stock. Just unlock your bootloader (can you be s off and supercid without? I never knew).

Once you do that, you can flash firmware from any carrier, then flash any updated ROM for that version.

You will never have to wait for carrier updates.

If you go stock, you will always be playing catch-up.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hossamkhalil89:
yes am sure of that am "locked" "S-oFF" and "CID:11111111" but i don't understand what a firmware will do to me !!!!!

but i understand this: unlock the bootloader ,,, then i will download any firmware with any number ?? really ? .. then download any custom rom ? like viper one...

and then if i do that i will recive 4.4.4 updates without any problems ? i think NO, custom roms prevent ota updates, so i have to check the sites of the rom from time to time to update ??

thank you

ex *i can't get viper one 3 rom untill updated to 4.4.4
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Flashing firmware will not return you to stock But flashing the latest firmware will allow you to flash the latest version of roms that require the new firmware.

---------- Post added at 07:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

But how can you have a custom recovery (to flash roms) if you didn't unlock user bootloader?

I'm confused. Lol

If you can find a stock backup, you can restore that to get back to stock, then flash your stock recovery.

Again, Need the custom recovery to use the backup tho.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hossamkhalil89:
no its locked bootloader with stock recovery, s-off and super cid !!!

i tried to get back to stock using backup recovery but i failed,, and no ruu for the international unlocked yet ... i just want any custom rom with 4.4.4 and be able to upgrade to android L when it release .... thank you mate
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Well it looks like to me that you'll be in the same situation as me. And that is that the easiest and probably quickest way we'll get L, is to flash a custom L Sense Rom. Or Aosp if you prefer that. And we'll be able to do that, cause we're s-off and Super CID. ?

Will likely need to update firmware for L too. Which again is simple with Super CID.

So, for right now, you do need to unlock your bootloader to flash a custom recovery. My vote is twrp. You need to do this to flash a 4.4.4 rom.

Also, you need to be on the latest firmware for the 4.4.4 roms.

All that said, if you want to wait and get the L OTA... You need to be stock and I believe you need your original CID to receive the Ota. I could be wrong on that. I've never done an ota on my M8...any device actually. I've always manually flashed new versions or used Roms. ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hossamkhalil89:
So for now unlock bootloader and get the latest firmware then flash 4.4.4 rom ?? Where did i find that 4.4.4 rom ??
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Depends on your model/carrier which roms you use.... But in the development sections.

And firmware needs to be current or there will be issues on 4.4.4 roms.

The "flashing firmware without the panic attacks" thread in the general m8 development section will help you update. ?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
You need the firmware, that's all. Then you can install Viperone's 4.4.4. That's what I'm running.

And you don't have to unlock the bootloader. Just flash the new firmware and then flash the ROM.

You can get firmware downloads, and instructions on how to flash them here.

This method is the safest.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dotfred:
No, but you can find backup applications that can help you for keeping personal data. But I'm not an expert in that stuff.

BTW, I'm working on a SMS backup/restore app, in the same way as PPCBckpContacts, but I don't know yet if it will be a full messaging backup app.

Backup

Thanks Fred

Good luck with the SMS utility. If it's anything like PPCBckpContacts, I think you'll have users beating down your door :). The reason for asking my original question was that I liked the simplicity of your program in contrast to many other backup utilities that only seem to cater for 'whole system' backups (with a bit of choice involved in WHAT is backed up).

Thanks for the quick reply...

S
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dotfred:
In fact, I'm rewriting PPCBckpContacts, it will be called PPCPimBackup. Nothing much changes, except that the files will be in unicode (so good for foreign languages which have special characters) and will allow records on multiple lines (especially contacts (ex.: address)). There will be also a mapping fields window like in outlook (see attachment picture) so old backups will still be usable.

And I will add SMS backup first, then maybe the rest if it is not too complicated.

Cheers,

It doesn't say HTC and obviously an overseas knockoff. In my opinion it's much, much nicer than the OEM version. It will flip open all the way back easily and isn't near as springy. It also works with my .3mm glass screen protector, http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6100440084.html.

Don't use one of these cases for protection period. I can almost state with certainty that if you drop your phone on any kind of solid surface, it will definitely come flying out of these cases. In fact, if you clumsily open the case to fast the device will come flying out sometimes. That is in the original from Verizon. They offer some screen protection while in pockets or bags, but little to no drop protection & even in bags, the top & bottom of the device is not protected from scratches.

And I also agree with the two previous posts. I bout the official case back in June and two weeks ago, it fell on a carpeted space and the phone flew out of it as well as the corners that secure the phone popping off. Since I enjoyed the functionality of the case, I ordered the above since spending $40.00 for something HTC will not stand behind (I tried to get them to replace it but was told they would not) was not something I was willing to do again.

I will report back pnce I get it.
[One (M8) Accessories] gustav30:
I had the fake one with logo and the real deal case I got from a Verizon store. Felt the fake with the logo was just as good. So went to return the real deal case at Verizon. Turns out I mistakenly packaged the fake one and returned that one to Verizon(honest mistake). I had no idea until later when I took my One out of my csndyshell case and popped it in the dot view....So while I didn't mean to do that, I ended up with the real deal case. But honestly the fake one closed better than the real one. That is how close they are.
[One (M8) Accessories] theandies:
I'm on the Dot View case fence. I really like the concept but the reviews I've read have kept me from picking one up. Does the flap "loosen up" for lack of a better term after using it over time. What I mean is when open and flipped to the back does it start loosing it's springness that people complain about. I like hearing that the generic's seem just as good as the one from htc. I may just have to pick one up at the lower price.
[One (M8) Accessories] lacusxharo:
I had an authentic one, and then recently bought one of those non-authentic ones.

As a direct comparison, they both look the same, but the quality is different. particularly, the dots' translucent level is very uneven, so you'll get random brighter vs darker patches

on the authentic one, all dots have consistent translucency

OME or Knock-off, I wish that someone would come out with one that snaps on decently (even if it used double-sided tape) and maybe wrapped in leather. The plastic makes the phone feel so cheap!

I have an OEM Dot View case and love it. I spent about $15 for it on Amazon. HTC also updated Dot View to add more functionality. And I was surprised yesterday by the Halloween animations. I'm very impressed by it and glad I got it.
[One (M8) Accessories] RonMac:
SoI received my case today in the mail and here are my findings:

1. The case closes just as well as the OEM one I had.

2. The plastic case itself feels a bit thinner that the OEM one but I like that since I felt the OEM one was a bit too thick and added bulk to the phone.

The "Seams are not as smooth as the OEM but I am going to try and use a nail file and see if I can't fix that my self

4. The "Springiness" of the hinge that is in the OEM is not present in this case as it was in the OEM

5. The cover does not lay flat on the back of the case when opened all the way but I think that is just due to the design of the case.

6. The case seeme to snap onto the phone as well as the OEM case did.

To me, the $8.00 I spent on this case is totally worth it. As a matter of fact, I might order myself a second one to have different colors to chose from. If you think about it, for the price of one OEM you can get 6 of these in different colors and still have $2 and change left over!

I posted some pics of the case but it's hard to see any details.

Hope this helps you guys make a choice.
