Hi everyone,
i know this topic is discussed allot but i would like to clear this out
I would like to ask a couple of questions .
I'm new to this ,bought me a htc one x.
douwding if i should root or not.
after root are there problems with sim card or connectivity?
applying custom rom would there also be connectivity problems?
can't accept anymore updates after root (OTA) (brick phone or bootloop, right )?
with latest custom roms ,how much would battery life increase (not talking about roms for overclocking)?
stock rom = integrated rom when you bought htc one x ?
when you unroot the htc one x is warranty back in place?
do you always need to clear all the data before you install custom rom?
sorry about all the questions
Thanks

Root and updates
That's a little more than a couple of questions no?
I'll try to answer some of them, hopefully right.
Official Updates
What I found with the HTC Sensation Root, is that it won't affect your updates IF you install the custom recovery back to the device. I believe the same might be true with the HTC One X.
If you stay with other recovery (like clockworkmod) the update won't work.
Connectivity
I don't believe you'll get any serious connectivity problems if you don't change radios.
Stock Rom = The original HTC One X Rom
But be careful, since there will be many different versions of HTC One X's out there, therefore there will be many different stock roms.
Clear data before installing
Mandatory, no. Recommended, Yes.

I haven't experienced any problems. I even have GPS improvements with custom roms . Sim card works fine. So does contacts synchronizing with Google. (GPS fix)

When you're on a custom ROM, you don't receive OTA updates. I suggest if you root your phone, make a Nandroid backup with clockworkmod recovery before flashing a custom ROM. (There a lot of tutorials out there)
with latest custom roms ,how much would battery life increase (not talking about roms for overclocking)?
Click to expand...

That depends on what custom ROM you're going to use. I just got 1.28 firmware pushed to my phone. I restored a Nandroid backup of stock ROM, then downloaded the 1.28 update. I deleted the hboot update and recovery from it and installed it. I then flashed Android Revolution HD over it. 1.28 is the official HTC battery and screen fix update. But almost every custom ROM here based on 1.26 has the fix build in by the developer. So no worries about that. I read when you have configured a HTC Sense account. It will start some background processes every time you boot and those drain battery life.

Yup. You can also download stock ROMs. (read on the development section)
when you unroot the htc one x is warranty back in place?

If you undo everything: Yes. That means relock the bootloader again and flash the stock ROM back. Delete every trace that you rooted your device. Don't forget to flash stock recovery.
do you always need to clear all the data before you install custom rom?

I only clear data if I get unexpected problems with the ROM not mentioned in the thread. But if you go from cyanogen mod or some other AOSP rom to a sense or touchwiz rom, or vice versa do clear data.

Root is just a change in permissions, allowing you access to system files. It doesn't change anything in the system itself. There should be no change in connectivity.

Depends on the ROM, what base was used, and what was changed. Stick to ROMs that are used by a good number of others, and proven to be reliable, and you should be fine.

You may lose root, and true (depending on what was updated) you may be stuck in a bootloop. Simple rule, if rooted, don't install OTA's or any other "official" updates. Rooted, safe versions to flash are almost always get posted here, and quickly.

Again, this depends on what was changed in the ROM. And even so, results tend to vary from user to user. No easy answer to this question.

If you are updating to a new version of the same custom ROM, you usually fine keeping data (but check the instructions for that ROM for more details).
If the going between custom ROMs, or stock to a custom ROM, if the base is similar, you may be okay keeping data. But you may also have random and severe bugs. The safest thing to do in these cases is to wipe data.
This temp root is a NOGO considering the dead battery bug
If you root just make sure you don't run out of juice. You will not be able to charge the H1X while it is off!!
Which means you have to fiddle for hours to charge iit just a minimum to turn it back on and fully charge. Maybe you are unlucky and you have bricked it, once it has lost juice.
So root to me is a far way off until this problem ist solved.

I heard about a new OTA update that was released today for the HTC one V. So I tried to download it. Went into settings -> About but I just can't seem to find the software update button. According to HTC that is where it should be. I see everything else (i.e help, network, phone identity, hardware info, software info & legal info). I am running MyOne v rom and Titanium KISS kernel (Latest releases). Anybody else run into the same problem? Also, would it be safe to do a straight OTA while running a phone with an unlocked bootloader, rooted and custom rom/kernel?

"I am running MyOne v rom" That is the problem. The official software updates are just for the stock roms, and cwm will be in the way also.

The myOne is BASED on stock, not stock. OTA updates are just for the original ROM for your phone, so the option is removed, because it can even brick your phone.
But look the post above me, devs can change the base of the phone quite fast, so it may a better choice, than return to stock, then update and see if anything has changed.
that's because you're using custom rom, dude...
try to revert it to stock rom, so you can find the update button on it
I have some experience with modding Google Nexus 3 with success but having some trouble with doing the same on the M8. Trying to install ARHD 9.1 on this phone but I'm getting stuck on the HTC logo after install. I have been following the instructions here and am successful with custom recovery (TWRM) and root. Before installing the zip through recovery, I wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache. The installation itself is successful but it does not boot. I have been able to reinstall the stock rom found here with success so I'm able to recover from it and I also have no issue with installing ViperOneM8.
I tried using the firewater exploit but it looks like my phone was already patched and it remains S-ON. I was reading about the necessity of S-ON here but it doesn't seem required for ARHD, but it's the only thing left I think is causing the issue.
What am I missing..?
You need to flash the new firmware (2.12.402) and you need s-off for that !
Otherwise it's a no go

See where i am going.......cheers and have a nice day
Thanks, I didn't realize that mike's stock de-bloat ROM was compatible with receiving OTA updates. There's a lot of good information around here but it's almost always scattered and sometimes not very clear.
I have also since found these stock updates which should work rather well for returning to T-Mobile stock with the bloat if needed. My "OS" and main-version using "getvar" still returns a blank value, but it looks like that can be common and not a detriment to updating OTA in the future.
I don't like the Kid Mode and all that stuff, hiding it is not sufficient as I like to have like a slim build so I may start again by returning to the ARHD stock ROMS if I can accept the 4.4.3 update OTA (as long as I return to stock recovery before then) and try to customize from there.
Hi,
After doing some reading on here I am a little unsure on the best way to back up my HTC One M9 (GSM) stock recovery/system. My software number is 3.50.710.1 (Android 6.0) and it came from Optus (Australia). I cannot seem to find an RUU file for this firmware anywhere online; only earlier versions are available. My understanding of this is that I need an RUU file for my specific firmware as a fail-safe in case I mess something up and need to return to stock?
My questions are:
1) Can I get my phone back to the current complete stock firmware and be able to receive future OTA updates without turning s-off and without copying anything from my phone before I flash TWRP and a custom ROM?
2) If not is there anyway that I can back up my phone it its current stock state that will allow me to go back to this state if I want to go back to my stock Optus firmware or to install OTA updates? (Including the stock radio/recovery)
3) Reading this post as well as others leads me to believe that I may stop my mobile radio working by flashing a custom ROM (especially as the linked post has the exact same firmware as me). How can I avoid this, or fix it if it happens to everyone?
I am ideally looking for a custom ROM which improves over the stock firmware. My priority is maximum battery life, with customisation and HTC 10 system UI/apps a secondary focus. Any recommendations would be great, as well as tweaks and kernels which help give the maximum battery life.
Cheers!
You can't backup your firmware (and that includes your radio). However if you read my google sheet you'll find instructions for backing up your current boot.img, your system and the stock recovery. If you do it correctly those files will suffice for recovering the ability of installing OTAs. No personal data will be backed up so maybe you want to share your backup with us afterwards.
There is a custom kernel for CM/AOSP roms which is said to repair the signal problems. As far as I read some sense rom users reported that flashing the stock boot.img recovered their signal. However this doesn't seem to work for every user. So you'll need to try by yourself.

Thank you so much! I have managed to find the guide you mentioned to backup the stock boot image, system image and recovery. By the looks of it the tab to the right is the guide to return my phone to its original state, which is good. I'm more than happy to share the backup once I do it.

Okay, well I am planning on keeping s-on at this stage, so I'm left with Sense based ROMs I believe? I have read that LeeDroid is the best for battery life, does this sound right? If so I am unsure if I can flash it as it says "Please make sure you have the latest HTC Hima 3.35.XXX.XX Marshmallow firmware installed prior to installing this ROM" because my software number is 3.50.710.1?
Thanks again!

I've read that several times in the near past and I actually don't understand it. You never needed S-OFF for flashing none-sense based roms as long as I started using Android/HTC phones and that was back in 2012. Why do so many people think they need S-OFF for AOSP?
I personally prefer the Viper rom. But taste differs and in the end the best advice I can give is try it out by yourself. Everyone has different needs and is using his/her phone in a different way. The best rom for person a might be an awful choice for person b since he/she has completely different needs.
I can't tell you whether you can use Leedroid. Test it and report back. That's how xda works. You might be able to use it after you flashed your stock boot.img but I don't know whether you really are or not. The warning is written so that people don't start flashing that rom with a lower firmware version. On older HTC phones flashing an "older" rom has never been an issue on newer firmware versions whereas flashing a newer rom on an older firmware never goes well (even on the M9). However many things have changed since the M9. There is no hboot anymore, the Download Mode got introduced, google changed the way OTAs are checking whether your system is modified, and so on. (Just to mention a few changes.) Those issues with the lost signal didn't even exist on pre-3.x firmware versions of the M9. Therefore users like you who use a not so common firmware (in comparison to the user numbers of the most common firmware bases: international, taiwanese and the developer firmware) have no other choice but trying out by themselves or getting S-OFF and changing to a more common firmware.

I have followed your guide and now have the latest stable LeeDroid ROM installed and TWRP. Just as I predicted the radio was not originally working. When I restored my stock boot.img from the original backup I performed it began to work. Thanks so much for your help! I'll upload the backup to cloud storage when I get access to a decent internet connection and then I'll share it to help others out.

How can I change my keyboard to an Apple IOS one?
Hey all, just copped a US Verizon HTC 10. Haven't unboxed it yet. If I fire it up, can I take any OTA and still unlock the bootloader / root it when I want to, down the line?
I come from many Samsung Galaxy S phones - this is my first HTC - from Galaxy S experience, certain updates made rooting / safestrapping a pain or downright impossible without backpeddling to an old version of the phone.
From all I've read, I see no big red flags about <this version> or <that version> is not rootable / bypassable. It looks as if the HTC 10 is a lot easier to get around, load on a custom recovery and ROM. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks very much!
Got a couple of questions as I'm coming from a Moto X with near-stock M, and would like something a bit closer to that experience on my HTC 10. I'm not new to using custom ROMs, but I'm no expert either.
1) Is it possible to change the default clock app (click action on HTC clock widget), lockscreen (to stock android) and/or lockscreen clock widget without root or custom ROM? Lockscreen apps don't quite do it for me as every single one I've tried lags quite a lot (homescreen flashes).
2) Is it possible to install a custom ROM and stay UNrooted (for payment services etc which refuse to work on rooted devices)? I have no real need for root access other than to change my device's default apps.
3) What would be the go-to ROM and/or customization path for a GPE-like experience on the HTC 10 (Stock Android w/o Sense and HTC apps, OTA updates, stable)? Like mentioned above I have no need for performance enhancements, further tweaks or even root access. In the past I'd go for official CM, but that's not an option now I suppose.

Hi
some of the carriers lock their devices down, so they won't be bootloader unlocked, even through HTC. As far as I know Sprint or Verizon are one of the carriers doing this. Can't tell you for sure, as I don't use those carriers.
If unlocking is possible it can be activated in developer settings and done via HTCDev. This you'd be able to flash the latest TWRP as well as root your device using SuperSU or phhsupersu.
The 10 gets, to use someone others words, finickery as soon as you start tinkering with other firmware e.g. debranding, up- and downgrading. It's by far the most complex HTC device. And I'm using them quite a long time as you can see in my signature.

Verizon bootloader cannot be unlocked. Your only option is to S-off with Sunshine, which then allows you to do whatever like flash Roms, root, etc. You should do that before flashing any of the latest updates, sunshine may not work with latest/future firmware.

Regarding your questions some hopefully helpful answers:
1) not as long as you're using a Sense based ROM. As soon as you use e.g. Viper10 in full de-sensed mode, or any CM/AOSP based custom ROM, yes.
2) in this case it'd be better to take the disadvantages named in 1), just unlock your bootloader, flash TWRP, flash magisk, and flash e.g. the Viper 10 magisk version. This you'd keep a full stock based ROM passing safety net, hobtaining full carrier features, and could load the custom ROM as a magisk module to obtain all tweaks and additions.
3) currently I'd say crpalmer's CM14.1, or one of the Resurrection Remix ROM. All are, quite stable and N based. Alternatively you could use Viper10 with a lot if tweaks and a de-sense option.

Thanks, I'll look into Magisk - that one's new to me but looks very interesting.
Haven't read up on/understood it fully yet, but is the "Magisk version" just a mod "layer" on top of the stock ROM? As in I'll still be "stock" but able to disable/tweak parts of the OS?
And TWRP doesn't break safety net by itself? That's what I was starting to worry about.

I'd say it is a mod directory, as magisk mounts the additional folders needed for the tweaks to work as well as replacing mount points of specific tweaked, or replaced system apps. In a custom Sense ROM it e.g. virtually replaces the prism.apk installed on system, by the tweaked one, without uninstalling the original file. To be correct without even touching the system partition of your stock ROM.
Same can be done to single apps. The GPE dialer magisk module is an example for such a mod.
After installation of magisk and magisk root you can easily reinstall the stock recovery, as far as I know. This is exactly how you preserve the safety-net functionality.

OK so I ran Sunshine on my Verizon HTC 10 and got bootloader and s-off. Changed cid to us unlocked and flashed us unlocked ruu. Took about 5 otas and now running 7.0 Nougat.

If your on Nougat make sure you flashed the latest TWRP 3.0.3-0 unofficial which you'll find over at the TWRP thread, in the downloads tab. It sounds as if you fried to flash TWRP 3.0.2-6 which isn't compatible to Android N firmware and thus won't boot at all.

Weird. I'm running Viper 4.4.0 as well an don't fave this Bug at all. Doesn't seem to be ROM related. Did go up from 1.2.1 to 4.0.0 right away, or did you take all the Updates provided in between. I always updated to the latest ROM as soon as they published it, This the last time I went from 4.3.1 to 4.4.0.
Did you always check the md5 of your ROM download to make sure the download went fine!? Did you try to reinstall Viper, using a clean flash?

Thanks for getting back so quickly. I went straight from 1.2.1 to 4.2.0 after flashing the lastest RUU from sprint. Then up to 4.3 and now 4.4 but I noticed the issue after the initial 1.2.1 to 4.4. I didn't check the md5, but I will and then reflash and see what happens.

I used to have this problem on my Verizon 10, and it went away when I converted to U.S Unlocked (and wiped my phone in the process). I'm not sure what did it exactly, but perhaps a clean flash will help. If not you can also try to update the phone apk.

I saw there's some thread about radio missing and other problems when rooting (something to do with force encryption), is that still unsolved?
And here's a list that I'm planning to do, mind help me checking it?
Unlock bootloader and root
S-off
Change CID MID and RUU to US Unlocked firmware(Nougat)
Install Leedroid (Marshmallow, can't live without xposed)
Any help or advice is highly appreciated
Hello all,
Long story short I currently have an Unlocked 10, rooted, s off, and bootloader unlocked. I have flashed over the Verizon rom and radios last year and left it this way for a while. I'm getting to the point where I'm about ready for a factory reset but figured I might as well update if I'm going to do that. Better yet I'd like to get on LeeDroid but preferably on Android N.
So I need to update to an Android N ROM first, then over to LeeDroid. I can do it, but frankly I do this stuff so little that every time I get a little nervous. My 10 is my daily driver but I currently have a raggedy s6 here I can pop a sim in for a minute if needed.
So I'm wondering would it make sense to just do a backup, flash the latest Unlocked N version then flash LeeDroid? Wouldn't my Verizon radios stay where they're at, or will flashing those roms over write them? And, none of this flashing should overwrite my recovery, should it?
Also, I apologize if this is not appropriate but my other option at this point is to ask, are there any fairly well regarded XDA friends here with some spare time that would be open to taking 20 bucks or so to get me fixed up remotely over teamviewer or something?
Thanks for all your help. I don't post here often but when I do I always find the direction I need as someone who is not a frequent modder anymore lol.

To minimize potential problems I would start fresh going from M to N.
Flash the full N RUU.exe. Flash the latest TWRP, then flash LeeDroid. New firmware, TWRP, and custom rom.

Would you suggest Verizon N rom since I'm already on Verizon M or would Unlocked N be better?

Get a copy of your current M rom for the firmware you currently have and download that. Remember, we're talking full roms not updates. Now get the latest N rom for your device (full ruu.exe). Now you have options. I would flash the N rom, then the latest TWRP, then LeeDroid. Any problems, and you can go right back to M. I always use TWRP 3.0.2-6 with M. So if I go back to M I flash that version of TWRP (from within TWRP itself) first. Take your time. You can do this. You can get the latest N rom from HTC's website. To get your M rom you'll have to search for it using your firmware numbers. Someone should have a copy.
BTW, you can watch ROOT JUNKY's videos on youtube as a refresher on the basics of flashing TWRP and so on. Don't use his files though. They're old.

Yeah I think you're right. I made it this far lol. But the N rom from HTC would just be the unlocked N wouldn't it, not Verizon? I know the Verizon ruu is over in the Verizon HTC 10 forum here so I could get that. Also I think I need to go brush up on firmware vs rom I tend to think they're the same thing but they're not, right?

I see. By "unlocked" you mean the US unlocked GSM HTC 10. I wouldn't mess with trying to alter your radios right now. Yes, stick with Verizon on everything. LeeDroid should run fine with that. Installing a new HTC rom changes your firmware. It will be updated as you go to N. If you decide to back to M, it will be downgraded. Installing a custom rom won't change your firmware. A full rom is composed of several components. The firmware is one component.

Ohhh okay I follow. Yeah sorry I did mean the GSM Unlocked model, I bought direct from HTC. But I couldn't get it to work on unlocked firmware with Verizon so I ended up flashing the Verizon ROM and radio last year.
So I'll grab the Verizon RUU and flash that, then LeeDroid. And update my TWRP. Its long over due anyways lol
Can't thank you enough for your help. I'm going to give it a shot this weekend I think. I really want to run LeeDroid!
