HTC One x us quad core
HTC One XL is dual core at&t version

wait so just to confirm when i buy the phone the one with only x is the international version and the one with xl is the at&t version.but is there is there any need to unlock bootloader?

I like unlocking my bootloader so I can backup my data partitions with Clockwork Mod. You can't Flash without unlocking the bootloader (don't see why everyone is up in arms about bootloader unlocking).
Also technically the AT&T version is the XL, but they call it the X. The only way to tell really is to check to see if it has Tegra 3 versus the S4. Though if it's AT&T it'll be chalk full of AT&T crapware.

Enabling S-off questions

Hi I was wondering if some effort was going into enabling s-off for the One V?
The reason I ask is because I wanted to use AdAway with my One V with CM9 but there instructions given are horribly out of date referring to previous HTC phones, not the One series. Is it possible to enable s-off currently using other methods or do I have to wait for a One V specific solution?

use adblock, but I don't think that adaway needs s-off.
What you need is root. You dont need S-Off. It's possible to root one v.

^^Whoops, you got an accidental thanks there, i meant to hit reply, lol
Anyway, I use adaway and it works just fine (rooted of course)

Getting rid of branding

Hi all,
sorry for my lack of knowledge, I'm a brand new HTC One X owner. I'd like to have the very standard software (ICS in this case) without the branding of T-Mobile. I've bought my phone in Poland (Europe Version).
Any step-by-step tutorials in here? I surely don't want to brick my new phone
not 100% sure on this but think only one way to debrand that is to unlock bootloader and root then install custom rom could be wrong tho

Well, I've got no problem with unlocking the bootloader etc. but I would like to have the normal ICS with HTC's Sense on the phone rather than some cyanogenmod or something along those lines. If anyone can help me out with the needed files and a step-by-step how-to (I'm not dumb when technology is involved, but I have absolutely no contact with the moding scene of Smartphones).

I think ARHD is meant to be pretty close to the standard sense experience. Cyanogen is a good release though, but maybe wait until its more stable on one x?

While i might instal this rom one day, I'd like to give the stock version a try. I don't want all the bull**** from t-mobile though The bootanimation alone is kinda ruining the experience for me

ARHD is a stock Rom tweaked to make it even better. you will find it much better, that is the only way to remove it, or rooting and flashing another boot animation
Easiest way I found was to unlock bootloader, root then delete all the carrier bloat you don't want and then flash a new bootanimation

Since you still opt for ICS the ARHD is the best alternative choice! Just search the thread on the XDA Developer you'll find it.
I have a T-Mob as well but flashed on CM10 for JellyBean and so far works great!

[Q] How to root my brand new HTC One X (AT&T)

Hello guys,
Before you start shooting let me just say I've rooted since maybe a year and a half ago my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate and have flashed it so many times that I've lost count. So now that phone belongs to my sister and I got my HTC ONE X since maybe 6 months ago. I didn't really had the need to root or flash the phone since I was waiting anxiously for that new Jelly Bean update and have ever since but my hopes are very low right now. I have no idea why they're taking so long to hit us with that dam update. So, this is why I've decided to start looking for info on how t root and flash my One X and I'm guessing that the method to root and flash it might be different so if any one can take me to the right path I would truly appreciate it. Thanks in advance! :cyclops:
You are in the wrong forum mate, you have to go to the at&t HTC one x forum
Don't flash Clockworkmod! Don't flash any ROMs in this section!

This. Don't do the silly thing and flash anything in this forum. The US One X is called the One XL, which has their own forum with working guides and ROMs + recoveries
Ok guys, straight forward... can or can I not use Team Venom ViperX 2.7.1 - Sense 4.1 Rom?
Cause what Im understanding is that I shouldn't use XDA forum at all.
I gotta one x att the cid overwrite doesn't work...I'm not looking for a solution immediately but is anyone else having the same problem with the cid overwrite package...?

Downgrading from 4.2.2 --> 4.1.2

I am kinda new to the HTC world, i have an Xperia S, which is rather easy to downgrade in contrast to HTC one. After upgrading my HTC One X to 4.2.2 my battery is draining very much, it is nearly unusable. So i wanted to if it is possible to downgrade without opening bootloader or S-OFF or anything.
The answer is simple - not possible.
Because HTC One X has S-On, you can't downgrade. And until now there is no safe nor official method to S-Off it.

only way is unlocking bootloader

Hi,
I am new to this HTC world and even you can say, new to Android world. I purchased HTC One X+ in india recently (so I believe it is an unlocked version, not like AT&T, verizon etc). Yesterday I got an update to Android version 4.2.2, which I did. But now want to move back to 4.1.
Please bare with me and help me out to downgrade the same. Please be simple in using terms, as I am very less experienced in using Android (hardly couple of months).
plz plz plz..... :crying:
Thanks in Advance !

Do not flash anything from this forum or follow any guides in this forum, this is for the one x only.
You need to find the forum specific to the one x+ or you will have problems

Thanks
