[Q] AlpharevX Doesnt detect my Wildfire :(

Ive tried to s-off my Wildfire like 3 times. The first one i failed cz i chose HBOOT 1.01.0001. The second one it was stucked on Acquiring Root <method 1> then i waited, then it said click anything to exit. after that my third times, it doesnt detect my handset.
Does it mean my WF already s-off or what?
Thanks a lot to who has answered my question

You can check the HBOOT version by pressing Vol - and power when turning it on.

i already know its 1.01.0002
But then when i tried to do it again, the alpharevx doesnt detect my phone. it only said : Android
Then it wanted i put the serial
nvm, it detects now. But it stucks when it says Thank you for participating

hye...
i am rlly new with this forum just rcently bcame a mmber... n of cz vry noob...
i hving this problem when i try to run the alpharev X it says waiting for device..
so?? what had i done wrong i already know that my HBOOT is 1.01.002..
btw sory my english..

Did you set your phone at USB-debug and charge only?

how to enable the USB debug?? i hve set myphone to chrge only still alpharex doesnt detect myphone..

USB debugging is under Settings->Applications->Development

No. It detects it almost immediately. Possible solutions:
- Make sure USB Debugging is On, as already said above
- Redownload the AlphaRev X Executable file
- Make sure Drivers are installed and working properly. There are 2 aspects to this:
1) Install HTC Sync, and, Uninstall it. The ADB Drivers will be installed
2) The HBoot Drivers are next. Guide to install that is here:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install

Its an example. The actual file will be the one you downloaded. (Theres a link in the first line of that guide called Unrevoked Modified USB Driver)

thanks i just install the hboot driver.. install htc sync and uninstall htc sync.. so now i hope alpharev x can detect my phone... again thank u 4 the help..

now rise another problem.. alpharev x can detect myphone but when i enter the beta key base my serial no it says invalid beta key...

There are two possible solutions there again. But, before that, make sure you have entered the right details (Right Serial Number (HT0....), Right HBoot Version, Right Device Model).
Once you are sure these are correct:
- Solution 1 - Copy the beta key in your clipboard from the website, then right click the title bar of the AlphaRevX Application, Click Properties, then check mark Quick Edit Mode. Then Right click anywhere inside the window, it will paste the key.
- Solution 2 - Redownload the AlphaRevX Application from the website and retry.
EDIT: Ninja'ed, Oh well.

lol sory mymistake... actually i really put the wrong beta key...
now that i hve S-OFF myphone what should i do now... sorry i really dont know anything..

Two ways again:
1) Follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
2) Use Fastboot (Which I used)
- Download Android SDK - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
- Download ClockworkMod Recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1014498
- Extract the Recovery.img file from the 2nd link, and place it in your SDK Setup Path / Tools (eg: C:/android-sdk-windows/tools)
- Open a Command Window (cmd)
- Browse to the tools folder in this Command Window
- Type the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- It will install ClockworkMod Recovery, you are done.
Then, simply follow Part 3 of this guide to install Custom ROMs and Stuff, irrespective of what you followed above.

EXE File.
That post simply means, that when you have completed installing your SDK, then, there will be a folder called "Tools" at your install location. Copy Paste the Recovery.img file to the Tools folder.

ok now i hve copy the recovery.img into tools
then open cmd right?? now what??

[How to] Root Your DInc2 Tutorial! (2.3.3 GB Only)

The purpose of this guide is to walk you through the process of rooting your phone running 2.3.3 ONLY! I will do the best I can to make this as painless as possible and help you achieve your goals of S-Off.
***THIS THREAD IS ONLY FOR OBTAINING S-OFF, OBTAINING ROOT, AND INSTALLING CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY! ANY QUESTION REGARDING INSTALLING ROMS DO NOT BELONG HERE AND WILL NOT BE ANSWERED! ONLY ISSUES REGARDING ROOT WILL BE ANSWERED BY MYSELF OR OTHER MEMBERS.***
What you will need: (** = File is attached to OP)
Windows XP or higher (Thats all I have, someone else with MAC and/or Linux will need to assist and I can add it to the OP)
http://revolutionary.io/ .:UPDATE:. PRE4 now available
This site is where you will download the rooting tools and obtain a beta key. When you click on the download button for your OS, make sure you view the box that pops up requesting your OS version, phone model, HBoot version, and phone serial number. Without doing this you cannot root your phone so do it or you are screwed. There are two ways to get your phone serial number: 1) Remove the battery and look at the white sticker or 2) On your phone, go to Settings -> About Phone -> Phone Identity and under Device Serial Number you will see it. After you receive your code COPY AND PASTE it onto a word document or notepad because there are times when you will get confused with the font type from the Revolutionary site. Example, in my beta key, the lower case L looks exactly like the capital I and it threw me off. Also, the key IS case sensitive so keep that in mind.
If running windows, you will need these drivers:
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
If running Linux, reports show that you do not need any drivers.
If running Mac OS, I currently do not know so someone please let me know and I will update.
http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip **
This file is required to obtain ROOT AFTER you have S-Off.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33327355/cwm-4.0.1.4-vivow.img **
These two items are in case Revolutionary tool fails to install CWM on your phone OR if you want to do this offline at another location. Fastboot and abd tool is the software that will take the img file of CWM and flash it onto your phone after S-OFF is obtained.
Prepping your Phone:
Turn off FAST BOOT in the settings located: SETTINGS -> POWER
Turn on Unknown Sources: SETTINGS -> APPLICATIONS
Turn on USB Debugging: SETTINGS -> APPLICATIONTS -> DEVELOPMENT
Installing Root:
1 - First, install the HTC drivers on your computer. It is a very simple step and you should have no issues doing this at all. Also look at your installed programs list and confirm HTC Sync is not installed. This will stop your device from being detected by Revolutionary to other problems when rooting.
2 - Extract the Fastboot and ABD zip file onto the root of your local disk drive (ex. C:\android-win-tools )
3 - Copy/Cut and Paste the CWM img file into the Fastboot and ABD folder (ex. C:\android-win-tools\cwm-4.0.1.4-vivow.img) Doing this will prep your PC to flash CWM in the event the Revolutionary tool does not download and install it.
4 - Place phone in "Disk Drive" mode then Copy/Cut and Paste the root su zip file (do not extract it) onto the root of your SDCard on your phone (ex. x:\su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip )
5 - Place phone in "Charge Only" mode. A lot ot people run into issues and not realize this was not selected.
6 - Run the Revolutionary file now that everything is set to go.
7 - You will get a prompt to enter your beta code. This is the code you received when you downloaded the revolutionary file and entered the information to obtain the beta key.
8 - Sit back and WAIT while the application does what is needed. This process will take anywhere from 3 to 5minutes so be PATIENT.
9 - Upon completion, you will get a prompt to install CWM. Say yes here! Once done skip to step 10.
9a - If the revolutionary app crashes or fails to download/install, leave your phone in the state it is (HBoot mode and should say "Fastboot USB". Open a command prompt in windows (Start - Run - type CMD).
9b - If you did exactly as told, type "CD.." until you see "C:\"
9c - Type the following:
CD android-win-tools
fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-vivow.img
9d - This process takes about 30sec max. Almost done!!!
10 - On your phone, back track to the main menu of HBoot using the volume keys and Power button and select recovery (2nd Option). In a few seconds your will be in CWM.
11 - As long as you copied the signed zip file to the root of your sdcard, perform the following:
"Install Zip From SDCard" (5th Option)
"Choose Zip From SDCard" (2nd Option)
Select the root/su zip file (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip)
Choose Yes and wait.
Back track to main menu and reboot
12 - Give yourself a pat on the back for paying attention and have a cookie!
I am typing this on my tablet/phone/pc so if an error exists, please let me know right away and I will update the OP. Again, questions here are ONLY for rooting. Anything else...kick yourself in the head, do a real search, and post if needed.

NICE, this thread should be sticky.
On a side note, make sure you have your phone connected to wifi or 3G if you want the revolutionary tool to download and install the CWM automatically. If not then you would have to flash the CWM manually per the instruction from OP.

I went to the site just now and HTC DROID Incredible 2 is the 6th option down in the device list. If it still doesn't show up, test another pc or try it on your phone. All you need is the key anyways.

I will say it is okay as this happens to my PC as well. The files still transfer and CWM flashes through fastboot as well.

Mmk. I downloaded ROM Manager but everytime i start it up it says "You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su/" or "system/xbin/su"
I have the file on the root of the sdcard and im pretty sure i rooted it with revolutionary and installed CWM as well.

Ok... Dumb question... where do we find the fastboot and adb zips to install on the C drive??

I have gotten thru step 8 and failed whentrying to install CWM. I manually installed it with step 9 and it said finished. Step 10 says to select recovery but it is not listed. I rebooted to see if that would work but it didnt. Where did I go wrong?
EDIT: Actually it did work just was trying to hard. Thanks for the great instructions.

@ Darkpsycho0
try installing busybox from the market and give it a try again.
@PacerguyDon
The links are in the OP.
It's next to the one that has the img file as well. There is only one zip file and it contains both items in it.
@Flightmed
Power down, and get back into HBoot. You will see the following options:
Fastboot
Recovery
Factory Reset
Simlock
Hboot Usb
Image CRC
The second option (Recovery) is what you want.
EDIT: Glad you got it working!!!

Busybox said "Root not found! The su binary was not found on your phone." -_____-

Thinking about it and looking back...I didn't complete the instructions on applying root. I apologize to you and everyone else.
When you have CWM installed, open it up through recovery. Next, as long as you copied the signed zip file to the root of your sdcard, select "Install Zip From SDCard" (5th Option).
Select "Choose Zip from SDCard" (2nd Option)
Select the zip file (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip)
Choose Yes and wait. Once done, reboot and you should be good!
Again, I apologize. I will update main post asap!

Hi Friends!
First of all, I would like thank all great guys who is helped for our device nand fighting! Of course BIG thank to ACL.
I would like too calling all devs who are want help for HTC Blackstone Nand progress that we have faster without any fight. I think this phone its really old that we fighting for few issue but i think its really possible the real and good nand. I adding credits if i know who is create fix for nand.
I dont know everythings like kernel example but i fixing currently.
Im glad if everyone can help!
Thank you very much
This is my first our Blackstone Nand version. I take lot of time that we have more user friendly and funkcionality NAND build.
Pls keep your attention that this is Test build and need lot of work. Im working on it the kernel too but its slow because its not easy.
Main Install procedure:
* you need reading NAND tutorial that you understand correct / clear what you are doing!!!
0 - Flash latest HardSPL from OliNex
1 - Create one folder in pc and copy here : adb files & fastboot.exe, recovery may be boot.img from build.zip
2 - Install pdanet usb driver
3 - Format your sdcard to fat32 and after copy here: blac.nbh & build.zip
4 - Boot to tricolor screen and you need task 29 ( erase wm ) from BlackstoneRUUAdvanced
5 - Reboot again the tricolor mode and flash nbh from sdcard
6 - After done, reboot again and you look the fastboot screen ( Blue )
7 - Plug usb and run terminal from pc go to your folder ( adb fastboot etc ) and write this :
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img after this ok write this :
fastboot boot recovery.img
8 - your recovery running now, install this build if done after make reset or battery pull out.
9 - turn on your phone and wait for booted Android.
Another Install guide with more info, maybe its better for you:
Thanks to FazZ! Great work!
Flash the latest HardSPL from OliNex
Extract the 'adb files & fastboot.exe' files to a folder
Format the microSD card fully as FAT32
Copy the 'BlacIMG.NBH' file and your selected ROM (zip) you wish to use to the root of the microSD
Boot in TriColour mode (Power button and Volume down button)
Whilst in the TriColour mode, connect the Blackstone to a USB port ('Serial' should now say 'USB')
Run 'BlackstoneRUUAdvanced' and select the 'Task 29' which is full wipe of the Blackstone
Once completed, insert the microSD card and reboot into the TriColour mode again
The Blackstone will auto-flash-install (after key confirmation) the 'BlacIMG.NBH' on the microSD card
The 'BlacIMG.NBH' must NOT be flashed via Windows using the RUU tool (it will only fail)
Once flashed with the 'BlacIMG.NBH' it will reboot to a new Fastboot screen (blue background)
After a short time the Blackstone in Fastboot mode with enter a USB connect ready state
Now connect the Blackstone to your Windows OS and open a CLi/Command prompt
Within CLi go to the directory where you place the 'adb files & fastboot.exe' files (from step 2)
Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (this will flash install the custom CWR)
Then type: fastboot boot recovery.img (this will reboot your Blackstone into CWR)
In CWR use the Volume keys to move up and down, and the Power button to select
Scroll through list to enable the 'Back key' option (touch screen and capacitive buttons do not work yet)
You are now finally ready to install your chosen ROM that is on your microSD
Once installed, let it reboot into Android OS which takes about 5 minutes on the first run
Once the Blackstone has settled within the OS (you can see the typical Android home screen), reboot
This time round, it should only take about a minute to start and you can now start using you NAND ROM
AUDIO - You need one trick, if you have booted rom after plug headset and play music from musicplayer, after unplug and continue play and after you unlock system audio kernel problem
* If recovery flash done after every reboot like this step:
- Power key pressing in fastboot screen : booting to recovery.
- If not pressing power key after simply booting android.
- If plugged Ac / Pc Usb power after you have fastboot mode.

[Guide] -The Ultimate Stock to Custom ROM Awesomeness thread - Noob friendly

Hi there and Welcome to my Ultimate Stock to Custom ROM Awesomeness Thread!
-----
There are still many of people out there who are thinking about Unlocking their Bootloaders, Rooting and installing a custom ROM onto their HTC One X.
I recently did so myself and although I've been a member on XDA for a while now and I rooted my old HTC Sensation I found the process to vary with my HOX.
Now there are many amazing Guides and "How-To's" already out there on XDA but I thought that I'd compile a lot of what's already in those threads and turn all of the yummyness that's already out there on XDA and write this from a first timers perspective.
Disclaimer:- Please note that I'm no expert when it comes to this stuff and I'm not amazing at trouble shooting, if you follow this guide it should turn out fine but if not then this is no fault of my own, you do all of this at your own risk! As I say, it should be fine and you should get through this guide fine. There may be better ways of doing what I'm showing you in this guide but this is how I did it and it worked out okay for me. If you know of a better way the please feel free to state so in the following thread.
-NOTE-
THIS GUIDE IS FOR ICS ROMS ONLY, NOT JB ROMS.
So after that disclaimer relax, read, re-read and take your time and hopefully by the end of this guide you'll have a Custom Rom running on your HOX and without too much panicking and worrying. It's a bit wordy and a bit lengthy but it's an in depth guide.
BEFORE WE START! Go to your HTC One X, Settings, Developer Options and make sure that you've got USB debugging checked! I also always have Fast boot checked in the Power options as well, it's not really important for this guide but I like to know that when I turn my HTC One X off that it is truly off!
Also if you wish you can pop into security and check on 'Allow installation of non-Market apps in Unknown Sources. Again, not really important for this guide but always good to have checked!
---NOTE---
In this guide I talk about using ARHD 9.2, this is because it's the latest version that's been released at the time of writing. Naturally ARHD will be updated but the guide will still be okay to follow.
Lets Get Started!

Installing HTC Sync and the Android SDK onto your PC:-
Before we start anything I personally think that it's a good idea to get these two steps out of the way as we're going to need to use these tools a bit later on.
HTC Sync
To install HTC Sync the best way to do this is to follow this LINK and click on the Download link on the right hand side. Follow the Set-Up wizard and get HTC Sync installed onto your PC. Now I'm sure that I don't have to talk you through this step so we'll leave this part now and move onto getting the Android SDK.
Thanks to EddyOS for this recommendation:

Better to recommend HTC Sync Manager as that's for the One Series phones...
http://www.htc.com/www/help/htc-one-x/#download
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So feel free to download either HTC Sync (It's the only version I've personally used), or download HTC Sync Manager as it's designed specifically for the One Series.
Android SDK
Now that you've gotten HTC Sync set-up onto your machine we'll start with the Android SDK, you can find the installation files here: Android SDK For Windows, Click on the "Download the SDK For Windows link.". Let it download the Run the file.
Now to make life a bit easier for us later, when you get to the menu for choosing the Destination of the program we'll alter this for ease of use later. When I'm in set-up it automatically sets the location to
C:\Documents and Settings\James\Local Settings\Application Data\Android\android-sdk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
We'll change this to:
C:\Android\android-sdk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Continue with the install.
Once installed the SDK 'should' open itself, if not then open it from the start menu.
You'll be shown a screen that has a load of options on it and a button at the bottom that says 'Install [X] Packages', Make sure that you have Android SDK and Android SDK Platform Tools checked (See Image).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The program will automatically select numerous other options, it's fine to leave these checked. the installation may take some time depending on your PC etc...
Now that's all finished we can move onto something a little more productive!
Backing Up Your Data:-
When I went to Unlock My Bootloader I read that I'd loose my data and I wasn't too happy about this, I came across this thread '[GUIDE] Full Phone Backup without Unlock or Root', which was a life saver, I'll talk you through some of it just so that we can get a backup made but if you want more concise instructions then make the jump to the thread and have a look!
Now, to backup!
Open your Command Prompt, for those of you who don't know how to do this it's Start > Run... > CMD > Okay. Now that you've got your Command Prompt open we'll need to find adb.exe, which should be at this location
C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
as this is where we chose the Android SDK to be located when we installed it earlier!
So to find this in the command prompt type in
cd \Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will take you to that location. (See Image)
Now that we're in the platform-tools part of your PC in command prompt, it's the perfect time to plug in your HOX via USB to your PC, just choose 'Charge Only' for now.
Now back in CMD (command prompt) enter these values:
adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\backup\backup20111230.ab
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please note that this will create a folder in your C:\ called 'backup', this is where your backup will exist, also please not that you can call your backup whatever you like, it doesn't have to be 'backup20111230.ab' but I prefer to choose the days date, so mine today would be 'backup20082012.ab', 20th August 2012. Once you've typed this into CMD you'll be prompted to unlock your phones screen and continue backup (See Image)
So unlock your phone screen, choose a password (write this down somewhere as you'll need to to replace the backup onto your phone after we've put a custom ROM onto it) let it start to backup!
Now there is a common issue with the backup's freezing at
com.android.sharedstoragebackup
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If this is the case for you, just unplug the phone, exit out of CMD, plug the phone back in, get back into cd \Android\android-sdk\platform-tools in the CMD and this time alter the backup command so that it reads:
adb backup -apk -noshared -all -f C:\backup\backup20111230.ab
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All you've done now is change -shared to -noshared, let the backup continue, hopefully it'll complete!
Now that you've got your backup all safely stowed away on your PC it's time to get down to business! Unlocking your Bootloader!
---
Unlock the Bootloader:-
Did you install HTC Sync at the start? As now you're going to need it!
Navigate your web browser to www.htcdev.com/bootloader and click register at the top, complete the registration process, making sure that you use an email address that you have access to.
Once registered make your way back to www.htcdev.com/bootloader and sign-in.
Once signed-in at the supported devices drop down select 'All Other Supported Models' and click on Begin Unlock Bootloader.
Now before we move onto anything else we're going to want the Fastboot Files, which Cursed4Eva is kindly hosting here: Fastboot Files
Once downloaded, on your PC go to the folder C:\Android and inside that folder create a new folder called fastboot, so you'll have
C:\Android\fastboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now the fastboot files that I linked to earlier come in a Zip file, unzip it to C:\Android\fastboot, this makes it easier to find it in CMD.
Now back @ htcdev, you've registered and signed in? Good, you've chosen All Other Supported Models and clicked Begin Unlock Bootloader, it'll ask you if you wish to continue, click yes, then the Legal Terms will pop up, just click that you acknowledge both terms and continue with 'Proceed to Unlock Instructions'.
Now click through the instructions until Step 8, ignore everything else.
Now turn off your HOX, now we'll turn on the HOX into the Bootloader, so press and hold down the Volume Down Button and whilst pressing the Power Button, continue to hold this down, the phone may vibrate and bleep a bit but continue to hold it down until you are greeted with a screen that has some options on it, Fastboot, Recovery etc... Now the touch screen wont work so we navigate using the volume buttons & Power Button, press down on the Power Button wile you have Fastboot selected, you'll enter Fastboot Mode with the options HBoot, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader & Power Down. You'll see above these options it'll have Fastboot written and highlighted in Red, leave the phone as it is, just plug it into the PC via USB and that highlighted 'Fastboot' will become 'Fastboot USB'.
Now open CMD, enter
cd \Android\fastboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will access the fastboot folder in your C:
Now in CMD once you're in the fastboot folder enter this command:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now it'll bring up the Identifier Token. (see Image)
Now using your mouse, right click in CMD where it says
<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Highlight it to where it says
<<<<< Identifier Token End >>>>>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now on your keyboard, once you've highlighted the Identifier Token press 'Ctrl + C' to copy the Identifier Token.
Now back at the HTC Dev website, scroll down to after Step 10, where it says My Device Identifier Token:, Click in that field and either press Ctrl + V or right click and paste your Identifier Token into that field.
Now Click Submit.
You'll now be taken to a page where you'll be informed to check your emails.
Open up your emails and you'll have an email from HTC and in that email will be an attachment, this will be called Unlock_code.bin.
Download it and place it in your fastboot folder at C:\Android\fastboot.
There will also be a link in the email which will say like "Continue with Bootloader Unlock Procedure" or something like that, Click it.
Back in CMD, you should still be at C:\Android\fastboot, now type in
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please note the Capital 'U' in Unlock_token.bin, press Enter.
Now look back to your HTC One X screen, it'll have two options on it.
1. YES Unlock Bootloader
2. NO Do not Unlock Bootloader
Select Yes with the volume keys and press the power button, the phone will turn itself off and reboot,
CONGRATULATIONS YOU'VE UNLOCKED YOUR BOOTLOADER!

Installing a Custom Recovery (Clockwork Mod) and Superuser Access, ROOTING YOUR HTC ONE X:-
Now that we've unlocked the bootloader we're really close to finishing the whole procedure and getting a custom ROM onto our HTC One seX!
Please note that there will be no images or screenshots from here on as a majority of this is all done on the phone handset bar the flashing of the recovery.img onto the handset.
Follow these links:
SuperSU for Super User Access, download the CWM installable ZIP: http://download.chainfire.eu/204/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip courtesy of ChainFire, Please donate to this guy so he can buy some beers
Clockworkmod Touch Recovery Thread: Download the latest Official Recovery
Again, please donate to broncogr and buy this guy a beer or at least hit Thanks.
So now that you've downloaded both files;
The CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.Zip file and the recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Right click on the recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img file and rename it to recovery.img, this makes it easier to work with later.
Connect your HTC One X to your USB cable and then to the PC, choose Disk Drive, next, copy and paste the CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.Zip file onto the root of the SD card for your HOX. Once that's on there, change the phones USB connection to charge only.
Open CMD, now get back into the fastboot folder in CMD, do you remember how to do this? It's C:\Android\fastboot then press Enter.
Now start the phone back up into the Bootloader, press and hold Vol Down and press Power Button, once in the Bootloader, once again, select Fastboot and then leave the phone as it is, running in Fastboot USB.
Back to CMD, type in this command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Press Enter. You've just flashed a custom recovery onto your HOX, Once that's finished, type 'exit' into CMD to close the CMD panel.
Back on your HTC One X, using the Volume buttons navigate down to Power Down, once the phone is off, with it still connected to the PC via USB, start it up again into the Bootloader (Vol Down + Power). Once in the Bootloader select Recovery, hit Power. You'll then load up into Clockwork Mod Recovery.
Now you can use either the touch screen or the volume buttons. Navigate to 'Install ZIP from SD Card', hit the Power Button, next select 'Choose ZIP from SD Card'. Now you'll need to scroll right to the bottom of the list to the CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.Zip you placed on the phone earlier.
Click it and it'll ask you if you want to install, select yes install, and let it do it's thing, Then select 'Go Back', Reboot System Now.
Once the phone has shut itself down and restarted, go to the Play Store / Google Market and Install Titanium Backup: Titanium Backup Root. Let it install, once that's finished, start the App on your HTC One X and it'll ask you for Super User Access, grant/accept it.
With the older versions of TiBu (Titanium Backup) You had to go to the problems section and install BusyBox but i believe that it does it automatically now (At least it did for me) So when you start up TiBu You'll see this on screen:
Root Access: OK
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
CONGRATULATIONS YOU'VE ROOTED YOUR HTC ONE X!
---
Making a Nandroid Backup:-
Now that you're rooted and have a custom recovery we'll make a Nandroid Backup, this is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT as it'll act as your fail safe if flashing the custom ROM goes 'Tits-Up'.
Nandroid:To backup the current running rom.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When you make a Nandroid backup you are essentially making a carbon copy of how the phone is at that point in time. It doesn't matter if it's a stock rom or a custom rom.
If you are flashing a custom rom onto a phone and it goes wrong or has bugs in it or you don't like it you can restore the Nandroid backup and turn back the clock so that the phone will be as it was when you made the Nandroid backup, as you can see, it's important to do this.
To make a Nandroid backup, turn off your handset, power up into the bootloader, go to recovery, once in recovery there will be the option Backup/Restore, choose backup, let the phone perform the backup - this may take a little time. Once it's finished, just choose restart/reboot phone.
There you have it your very first Nandroid backup!
If it makes you feel a little easier, before flashing a custom rom onto your phone you can transfer the Nandroid backup onto a PC.
Just connect your handset to a PC via USB cable, Disk Drive, then once you can get into the phone on the PC, enter the Clockworkmod folder and make a copy onto the PC of the 'backup' folder.
To restore a Nandroid backup, providing you have the Clockworkmod\backup folder on your phones SD card, enter recovery, and in the option Backup/Restore, just choose 'restore' and off it goes, you've restored the Nandroid backup.
Many people make Nandroid backups before the flash a custom rom onto their phone, even seasoned veterans do this as it's your one fail safe against a disastrous occurrence... messing your HOX up! Some people make them Monthly, Weekly and even a few make them daily!
-NB-
BEFORE PERFORMING A NANDROID RESTORE, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS POST!!!

Now onto flashing ARHD!!!
---
Installing Android Revolution HD 9.2:-
We're so close to having a Custom ROM on our HTC One X, not far to go now!
Make sure you have at least 35% Battery when you do this! Preferably more, I cannot stress this enough!!!
Pop on over to Mike1986's ARHD Thread here: ARHD Thread Donate to Mike1986 if you like or Thank him as his work is brilliant!
Scroll down to the DOWNLOADS section and download Android Revolution 9.2, boot.img for 9.0.x and Super Wipe.
Next connect your phone to your PC and select Disk Drive, now copy the SuperWipe file and the ARHD 9.2 ROM onto your phones SD card at Root, no need to go any deeper.
Next take the boot.img for 9.0.x file (it's named Flash_boot_9.0.x.rar) and copy it to C:\Android, once the file is there, right click and Extract Here.
Now boot your HOX up into the Bootloader (Vol Down + Power) and then go into fastboot, connect your HOX to the PC to get Fastboot USB.
Now that you're connected, go back to C:\Android and click on the file called
install-boot-windows
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In the CMD panel it'll ask you to hit any key, so just press Spacebar or whatever, it'll do it's thing, it might ask you to press any key again or it'll just finish.
Back over to your handset, Press the power button to get back into HBoot and then select Recovery.
Once Clockworkmod Touch Recovery has started once again choose the option 'Install ZIP from SD Card', then 'Choose ZIP from SD Card', now scroll down to the Superwipe ZIP, make sure you choose this and not the ARHD ROM, Anyway, choose the Superwipe script and select Yes when it asks you if you want to Wipe.
Once it's performed the wipe, select Go Back and now repeat 'Install ZIP from SD Card', then 'Choose ZIP from SD Card', this time select the ARHD ROM file.
The setup for ARHD will begin, on your handset select next, then select Agree, then next again.
You'll come across a screen that has two check boxes on it, one will say
Wipe Data Partition
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Select this.
Tweeks: You'll be presented with a screen of Tweeks that can be included into the flashing of the ROM, I personally choose
Improve EXT4 Performance, Force GPU2, Improve Multitasking, Experimental Tweeks and the last option, I can't remember what it is
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click Install, It'll finish, then Reboot.
Now don't panic, the first reboot can take up to 5 Minutes to complete, this is why it's imperative to have over 35% battery life as a shut down now can be disastrous!
Once it's rebooted you just have to setup your phone like you would do if it was fresh from the box.
Restore data backup:-
Now all that's left is to restore your data that you backed up at the beginning!
Open CMD, enter
cd \Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now do you remember where you saved your backup? Good!
Now in CMD enter the location and file name of your backup
adb restore C:\backup\backup20082012.ab
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Remember mine was todays date! On your HOX screen you'll be asked to enter your password that you chose when making the backup, it'll do it's thing Et Voila!
You've restored all your lovely data, remember, the stuff you had on the phone when it was stock? Nice!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
YOU'VE MADE A DATA BACKUP, UNLOCKED YOUR BOOTLOADER, ROOTED & INSTALLED A CUSTOM ROM AND REINSTALLED YOUR DATA ONTO YOUR HTC ONE X!!!
I hope that you find this guide useful and that you've managed to fumble your way through it without too much trouble or many hiccups.

nicely written. once my hox is replaced and finally working, i think i shall have to refer back to this

Would it be worth sticky-ing this thread to the top of General?

Great thread mate. I sincerely believe that it deserves to be stickies for everyone to see, because you did a very thorough and detailed Jacob that will surely be helpful to newcomers. You deserve your own praise too. I'm one of those holding back on unlocking my HOX since I'm waiting for an unofficial unlock method and contemplating if it's even worth holding on a HTC device and not just going back to my iPhone which was easier to hack and modify (imo).

Better to recommend HTC Sync Manager as that's for the One Series phones...

Yes
Well done on this! Super site

Check back to this thread soon!
I'm going to write into my reserved #2 post about how to get the best out of your HOX for gaming!

I mainly choose HTC Sync as it's the only one I've used and I thought I'd only write about what I know so that way I know it's reasonably accurate.
Thanks for the tip + link EddyOS, I'll add that into the OP as an alternative.

Good one! Explained everything required. N00b friendly xD

Thanks that was what I was aiming for
I figure that even if something is really complicated to do (which granted not much of what I wrote about is), if you write the instructions with proper and correct grammatical English then people will understand it a lot better.

Hi the last hylians, i currently new with hox, mine previous was sgs. It looks difficult to install custom rom with hox rather than sgs. First i want to know, mine software is 1.29.707.11, can i install all the custom rom or just a particular one with the same software. Thanks

Hi there,
As long as you have a decent grasp of the English language and can follow instructions reasonably well then installing a custom ROM isn't too difficult, I'm sure you could muddle through
.707 is that Malaysia/Indonesia?
I believe that you could install a custom ROM that would be x.xx.401.xx as you'd be unlocking the bootloader so theoretically can install any OS on the phone that you like, the region for the OTA therefore wouldn't need apply as you wouldn't get FOTA's afterwards anyway.
It might be worth asking on the Android Revolution HD thread and posting a link to this thread so that way you can get a 2nd opinion.
Afaik you'd be fine however.
T-L-H

This isn't knocking the guide, as it's good, BUT everything you have here is already available online if people were bothered to search for it - especially the bootloader unlocking as HTC have a detailed guide on their own website
You should also highlight the importance of downloading the RUU for your phone before unlocking. If it's not available add a note to proceed with caution
Still, good work

Thanks for that, I should mention about downloading the RUU for the phone in case you want to revert back, I was going to add that into the reserved #2 post at a later date, 'How to revert back to Stock'
Yeah I'm aware that there is a lot of info out here on XDA already but like I said at the start of my OP, it's all in different places, some of it is difficult to understand and it's quite fragmented in parts and there isn't really a 'Start-to-Finish' guide out there, or at least not one that I've seen. Even then, people can still find what they need, have access to all the relevant tools but still not be able to proceed, either due to lack of English skills or understanding, intelligence etc... So I thought I'd write it up in real 'laymans terms'.
But as you say, the info's already here for those who've learnt to use the search button

Thanks for repyling, fyi mine is indonesia.

How did you get on?

Hi mate! at first, thanks for this "noob" tuturial! i think i'm going to try it later.. i have some questions i would like to know before i continue as i don't root/flash roms since my htc hero.. would be thankful if you cared to help me
i have just installed the ruu on mine with 4.0.4 and senses 4.1.
- Will i be able to make a complete rom backup of my actual rom (exactly as it is, with my configs, apps, etc. i user to do it everytime when i was flashing a new rom on my hero so i could revert if anything went wrong or i didn't like the new rom).
- if not, is there a way to reinstall the ruu or the official rom later if i decide for it so i can receive official updates? In other words, can i revert to an "original" state?
And finaly, is there anything that is not working on revolution rom?
thanks a lot!

Hey Porsche. V,
The answer to both of your questions is essentially 'Yes'.
You'll find in my OP one section called 'Backing up your data', depending on which instructions you decide to enter will depend on what gets backed up, take a look at that section and the forum thread that I linked to from that, that'll give you an idea on what to enter into CMD.
It'll be something like
Code:
adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\backup\backup21082012.ab
There's a good list of the factory ROMs here, download the relevant one for your handset, RUU etc... then put the phone in fastboot USB and enter into cmd from cd \Android\fastboot
Code:
fastboot oem lock
That'll relock the bootloader, I think that's correct anyway, never done it myself, I know many others have however but yes you can revert back to how the phone is stock, bar the Bootloader saying 'Relocked' instead of 'Locked'.
You can also make a Nandroid backup (always recommended, I should add that into my guide) before flashing any new ROMs, especially when coming from stock
Read these;
1:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660807
2:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604
3:- DEFINITELY READ THIS http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_One_X#Total_recovery_-_flashing_a_RUU_to_completely_restore_your_phone
The ARHD ROM is the most stable ROM there is, everything works, it's the best!

[GUIDE] [HOW-TO] Root Your Droid Incredible 2 VIA HTC Bootloader Unlock

My other thread got screwed up. So, I just thought it would be easier to re-write it all over.
Some warnings:
-This is not a FULL unlock (S-OFF or to unlock your SIM card slot.)
-This WILL VOID your warranty.
-This will work with ANY version of HBOOT. Unless something has changed and I never update.........
-This is a how to for WINDOWS ONLY. Sorry Mac, Linux, and Unix. If someone knows how to do it VIA those ways, I'll add it in here.
-If you are logged out of HTC Dev at any time during the identifier period (1 - 5), just sign back in and don't click anything. It will automatically redirect you to the last page you were on.
-I am not responsible if you didn't follow a step correctly and your phone lights on fire, cracks into two, wants to destroy you, etc...
If you like to learn visually (like me) and would rather not go through my jumble of steps, check out this YouTube video. [link]
What you are going to need:
-A computer
-Fastboot and ADB [API] - [link] <-- These are applications I use to flash ROM's. They are in a .zip from me.
-HTC Drivers - [link] <-- Drivers HTC gives, couldn't find them on HTC's site.
-Android SDK - [link]
-microUSB cable, phone, and some time
STEPS TO ROOT: finally...
1.) You are going to want to head over to the HTC Dev[eloper] site ([link]) and make an account or sign in. Once you have done one of the two, you are going to want to click 'Unlock Bootloader,' then 'Get Started.' It will next ask you what device you are trying to unlock, click 'Droid Incredible 2 (Verizon)' then 'Begin Unlock Bootloader.' Then a pop up window will ask you if you are sure, just click 'Yes.' Then, another pop up window will appear, just tick the two boxes and press 'Proceed to Unlock Instructions.'
2.) Go to your phone. Take off the [back] battery door and remove the battery (don't hold the power button and make it a proper shut off, just rip the battery out. Then, put the battery back in. Once you have replaced the battery, hold the volume down button and the power button at the same time until a white screen shows up. You can use the volume rocker to highlight your selection, and the power button to select the highlighted selection. Right now, we want to highlight 'BOOTLOADER' and use the power button to select it. Next, grab your miniUSB cable and plug it into your computer to your phone.
3.) Next, make a folder on your computer in the C:\ Drive. In Windows Vista & 7, you can just go to Computer from the Start Menu and it will be labeled Local Disk (C:\). You can name the folder whatever you want, I am just going to name it Android. Next, you are going to want to download my ADB, Fastboot, and ADBAPI .zip file and place all three files into the Android folder. After you unzip the ADB/Fastboot folder, you are going to want to (if you have not already) download and install the Android SDK manager. You will need to install SDK tools [and I believe a version of Android?] After you have installed everything, you can go to the Start Menu again and type in 'cmd' in the search bar and press enter. Then type in the following: (Or you could take the easy way of going to your C:\ drive and shift-clicking the folder and press 'Open Command Window Here...)
Code:
cd C:\Android
4.) After you have got into Command Prompt and are in the \Android folder, type in the following:
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
You will then see a great big brick of random characters. Right click in the bottom right-hand corner of '<<<<< Identifier Token End >>>>>' and click 'Mark...' Hold down the left-mouse-button and select the great brick of text up until '<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>' (don't highlight any of the 'INFO' things.) Then, right-click again and you will have the identifier token copied to your clipboard. Back on the HTC Dev site, it will ask you for your identifier; just paste the identifier in the box and it will send you an email with a .bin file (Unlock_code.bin) and just throw that into the folder with ADB and Fastboot.
5.) You are going to want to click the continue link that HTC Dev sent you as well to downloading the file. After you have finished downloading and put it in the folder, type in the following:
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Once you have done that and pressed Enter, your phone will change screens. It will ask you if you are SURE you want to do this. Just press the volume rocker up and press the power button. Your phone will reboot and take you back to Android. It's normal and it doesn't mean it failed... Your phone is fine and it should have went OK if you followed the steps. We are done with HTC Dev now, so you can close it.
6.) Next thing we are going to want to do is flash ClockWorkMod (CWM) Recovery onto your phone. You are going to want to download the .iso for CWMR and flash it to your phone (download link [link].) After you are done downloading the .iso, place it into your ADB and Fastboot folder. Once your phone has finished starting up, take the battery out again and put it back into HBOOT mode (step 2.) You are going to want to go back into FASTBOOT (step 2, again) and flash the recovery by doing the following:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery(press TAB)
Once you press enter and fastboot says it has completed, it will just have the Fastboot screen. Just highlight 'Bootloader' and press the power button. Next, to make sure it worked... Scroll down to 'Recovery' (which is right under Fastboot) and select it. The HTC screen should show and then CWMR should come to life.
7.) This is where the real magic happens. We are going to install SuperUser on to your phone now. Reboot your phone into regular Android. Now, you can plug it into the computer and make it a disk drive or pop out the miniSD card and put it into a converter. Now, you are going to want to download SuperUser ([link] - make sure your scroll down to the .zip dowload) and put it onto the miniSD (I recommend not putting it in any folders so it is easy to find.) Now, put your phone back into CWMR (step 6.) Now, use the volume rocker to scroll down to 'install .zip from sd card' and press the power button. Now, find the SuperUser.zip (or whatever it is named) and press the power button. The 'yes' to install it is in the middle of all the 'no' options, use the volume rocker to select 'yes' and press the power button. Wait for CWMR to finish, and in the meantime... Just stare at your phone. After you have finished installing SuperUser, restart your handset into Android. Once it has finished restarting, go into the app drawer and find the SuperUser app. Press the 'menu' button and tap 'Settings.' Scroll down to 'Su Binary x.x.xx' and tap it. On the bottom it will say 'Update Binary,' just tap that and it will do its 'magic.' Once SU has finished updating Binary, you have a rooted DINC2.
If you need any help, please let me know here, or on Twatter (@Rumor0922)

Updated post. Finished the guide. Hope you guys enjoy.

thanks for your guide - I'm needing to get something fresh on my wife's DI2...and I'm not as savvy with the HTCs as I am with my GNex.
The problem I have initially run into is the JDK - I have it installed....but whenever I try to install the Android SDK, the installer tells me that it does not recognize an installed JDK...
Also, I did notice that your Fastbook & ADB link is not active - is it obsolete now?
Thanks again, hopefully I can get this puppy running smoothly soon

thanks for your guide - I'm needing to get something fresh on my wife's DI2...and I'm not as savvy with the HTCs as I am with my GNex.

Android SDK includes fastboot and adb, so it isn't necessary. Are you sure you have the JDK installed? What version? I know OpenJDK was giving me trouble so I had to switch to the official JDK.

Yep, just tried to reinstall 7u7 from the oracle site....no dice with SDK. Weird. I'll try with another PC to see if my laptop just licks

I added the ADB and Fastboot link, I thought it was already added... So, that is my fault. And like prototype said, Android SDK also includes ADB and Fastboot. Hope the best to your wife and the phone.

getting error!

This isn't for a SIM CARD tray unlock. It's just to root you phone and get ROMS and SU apps on it. Look around for a SIM unlock.

6.) Next thing we are going to want to do is flash ClockWorkMod (CWM) Recovery onto yoour phone. You are going to want to download the .iso for CWMR and flash it to your phone (download link [link].) After you are done downloading the .iso place it into your ADB and Fastboot folder. Once your phone has finished starting up, take the battery out again and put it back into HBOOT mode (step 2.) You are going to want to go back into FASTBOOT (step 2, again) and flash the recovery by doing

the following:
In my download folder this shows up as an image file, is this right?
Does this mean that C: Android folder I created in the beginning of the guide? If not, where am I supposed to place it?
Does flashing it to my phone mean simply copy/pasting this cwm image file into the adb and fastboot folder?
Sorry guys I've been lurking for weeks. Successfully rooted my galaxy nexus and that was a breeze compared to this!

1.) Yes, an .iso file is a disk image.
2.) I personally like to place it in the C:\ Drive, but people put it where ever they want to.
3.) Yes, just put that in the folder with Fastboot and ADB[API.]

Please fadtboot install as administrator in pc?

It shouldn't have to install. You have to use Fastboot VIA Command Prompt.

English equivalent: "fastboot" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
That's happening since you're still in the Administrator's directory - C:\Documents and Settings\Administrador\.
You need to use the "cd" command to change to the directory where you downloaded fastboot. Then you'll be able to use that command.

Ok thanks i try this bro :thumbup:

The Dropbox link for the drivers is empty. Can you put a new one up?
