I traded my rooted galaxy nexus for a rooted htc one x. Before I got his htc one x, he performed a factory reset on his phone.
After I got home I realized that his contacts, his accounts and all his apps were still there. I did a factory reset again but they are still there.
Is there a way to completely wipe everything off it? I do want to keep the root on though if possible (because I want to keep it unlocked).
When I go in the recovery mode this is what I see.
****Tampered***
****Unlocked***
Evita pvt ship s-on rl
HBOOT
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
CELAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK

Will clearing the storage help?
@Op,
Some time ago somebody told me here on the board that if you factory reset your phone using recovery mode it
will wipe the storage as well, that it's different as factory reset in OS settings where the storage is kept.
I think you need to wipe storage indeed to remove the contacts.
Can you please let me know when you decide to factory reset the phone in recovery mode the storage get wiped too?
I didn't have time to test this and I'm very curious if it does.
Thanks a lot.

I tried to do that half an hour ago. It was stuck on htc logo with this paragraph underneath for almost 10 minutes until my patience ran out "This build is for development purpose only.......legal action."
I'm trying that again now and I'll let you know what happens.
Nope, don't do that please.
If you like to wipe the storage I think the best you can do is use settings/storage in OS to accomplish.
Before you do I would like to advise you to make a backup of Clockworkmod directory (copy it to your pc) on your storage if that exist.
So incase something happens you are still able to restore.

Thanks but I have no idea which method the other guy used to root this phone. Stuff like rom Manager, super SU and Titanium backup are already installed in the phone. When I go to Rom manager and try to "Manage and Restore Backups" or "Backup current ROM" it asks me to install clockworkmod recovery first. However, when I try to do that it gives me a list of Phone models to choose from and HTC one X is not in that list.
When I went through the link you provided it says "Your bootloader must be unlocked via htcdev.com to use these solutions." Now how do I know if it's unlock via htcdev.com or not? How do I check?
It must be unlocked already otherwise there wasn't a custom rom on the phone.
But you can verify that by going into bootloader, it should say 'unlocked'
SuperSU is needed to root the phone so that's normal as well.
And about Clockworkmod, it must be there as well otherwise you couldn't get into recovery.
My advise, go into recovery and make a backup first.
If that's done you can copy the Clockworkmod dir from your storage to your pc to make sure you have a valid backup.
Then you can wipe the storage and after that is done you place back the Clockworkmod dir.
From there you can look further and flash another custom rom or what you want.

keep holding down the volume down and power button until you get into bootloader. from there, u can tell whether it is unlocked or not, also, might as well check if it reads endeavor or evita, to make sure whether u have the dual core or quad core 1x, from there on, if unlocked check if u can go into recovery from the fastboot menu. if not then u know which step ull have to begin at, if yes, then u can start flashing right away. Btw, recovery as in a custom recovery such as clockworkmod or twrp.

I have a Rogers HTC One X that is fully unlocked and rooted. I have multiple apps on the phone that the phone needs to be rooted for and they work great. When i rooted the phone i used the one click root tools. I am trying to flash a new ROM on to my phone, but i cant get CWM to boot. I follow all the steps to flash it on the phone, but then when i do the power and volume - and then click recover, all i get is the HTC screen and then it reboots over and over and over.... until i push power again and start it up again.
Another note, i was able to get the other mod to work, the tradewin or something like that, but for some reason when i use that one it wont actually install the ROM i am trying to install. Its the Android Revolution HD. All the forums i read it says to use CWM but i cant load into it. Does anyone know how to help me with this?
Thank you! :fingers-crossed:

Try and flash CWM recovery over and then do "fastboot erase cache" - do that twice, then try and boot into the recovery without restarting the phone..... you need to choose hboot from the phones screen and then recovery.
what is the command prompt code to erase the cache? i know i saw that before i just cant seem to find it again. I am still a little new with this stuff.
Thank you!

Before you do anything further, can you confirm that you have the international HOX and not Rogers HOX as they talked here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
Flashing something that is not meant for your device will brick it.
That didn't work. I will explain exactly what i do.
Push power and volume -
Then i click fastboot, plug in my phone and do the CWM
I did that twice
Then after done i clicked bootloader
Then recovery
Phone just keeps restarting. Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks

HOX is shortform of Htc One X.
You really need to make sure you flash the right CWM. The one for International HOX will not work for Rogers HOX.

i am having the same issue. My HOX is on CM9 and wont boot in recovery. and i installed CMW recovery. any advice pls let me know
Hello i have the tc one x and i have alot of problems. when i first bought the phone i rooted it and i was happy. i downloaded root apps and i was set. then i wanted to start flashing roms. so i downloaded a custom rom on my computer, followed all the instructions carefully and it did not work. i had installed clockworkmod and the whole 9 yards.When i would try to boot into recovery mode i would get a security warning and i was not allowed to. i tried many tutorials to install it on to my phone using my computer and command prompt and things like that but that did not work. So i came to the conclusion that i did not unlock my bootloader. so i went through the whole process on htcdev.com and my key was invalid. i had gotten the error 160 and mid not allowed. now i wanted to completely restore and unroot so i deleted superuser and the su files and did the whole thing with fastboot files and command prompt using a video to help me through it. When i was done my phone still said tampred on the bootloader and i got the same security warning error when i tried to restore the phone. so i cannot restore my phone to stock. now my phone cannot recieve att updates and when i try to manually update it is says htcdm has stopped and then after the button does nothing. and many apps stop unexspectedly and i am very upset about this. i have tried unrooting and unlocking bootloader at least 10 times now and nothing works!! PLEASE HELP!!! i really dont want do have to sell my phone and save up for a new one. thank you.

Yup.
First, your not clear with what you actually did.
IS your Phone the AT&T version? If YES, then this is the wrong forum.
Also all you need to do to get a custom ROM running is this.. (in the respective order ) -
1- Unlock using HTC. Your error is probably because you did not clearly read on how to copy the UID part. even one extra character here or there can generate an invalid key.
Follow the instructions to the letter.
2- Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery using fastboot.
3- Before flashing the ROM, from CWM, make a backup of the stock ROM, by going to Backup and Restore - Backup.
4- Wipe Date/Factory reset option in the recovery. Then Goto Mounts section and format /system.
5- Now flash your ROM from the sdcard.
6- PROFIT?
If you are not confident enough to follow each and every instruction to the letter, then flashing custom ROM's is not for you.
From your post i can clearly see that you find the whole process a little too cumbersome. I can be wrong. But please at least be clear what you exactly did. Which ROM did you try to flash? And how did you go back to stock? Which RUU did you use? Was it the correct one?
If your HBOOT says ***LOCKED*** or ***RELOCKED*** then run an RUU and it will remove all warnings, and put your phone back to it's factory state.
how do you run an ruu

Boot into bootloader then go into fastboot and run the ruu that's all but sure thing before doing this u have to flash the stock recovery and kernel and lock bootloader

Just download one and run it, dead easy.
But he has to return the recovery and kernel and lock bootloader first
Y U WANNA KNOW FROM WHERE SENT??
His post is so disjointed it's impossible to figure out the state of his bootloader (hence mentioning it), but you don't need to replace kernel and recovery, that's the point of the RUU.

Ok. Stop.
Where did you get your phone? Is it quad or dual core? What is the model number written on the case?
Before you do more damage, let's figure out what device you have, which forum you need to ask questions in, and what procedures you need to follow.

Right, well, I'm not sure what you've done to it, but this is the wrong sub forum.
If it is an AT&T phone, htcdev won't work.
Best bet is to visit the ONE XL forum. And post what you problems you have, and then what you tried to do before arriving where you are now.
Word of advice, your first post in this thread was awful. It's too long, too confusing and unreadable. Try to cut out as much as you can. I don't care how many yards, that you got instructions from a video, and that the video was hosted on YouTube. Just list what you did to the phone. Use spaces (including vertical spaces), punctuation and bullet points to good effect. End of the day, you want as wide an audience as possible.
Good luck.
I have rooted and bootloader unlocked my One X with no problems using the toolkit One_X_ATT_All-In-One_Kit_v2.0
After rooting it and unlocking the bootloader I used the phone for a couple weeks periodically checking to make sure they stayed unlocked. I have had no problems
I want to install a custom rom so tonight I followed the instructions to the "T" here: http://theunlockr.com/2012/04/28/how-to-install-clockworkmod-touch-recovery-on-htc-one-x/ and I installed Clockwork Mod touch.
It installed fine according to the command prompt replies. Following the instructions I then typed: fastboot reboot in the command line. The phone shut off and never rebooted.
It now will not boot and I have no red LED charge indicator anymore. It does nothing at all.
I tried the VOL down hard reset and I get nothing, I've removed the sim and tried it again with nothing.
The battery was fully charged when I did all this.
Can somebody please help me figure out how to get this phone working again. My wife bought it for me for Christmas from Amazon Wireless for $599.99. It was purchased at full price and SIM unlocked so we wouldn't have to extend our contract. If my wife finds out it is not working I'll never hear the end of it..... I would really like to avoid this and get it going asap.
Thank you!
You're posting in the Endeavoru forum with stuff about the Evita. In hboot what does it say at the top?
If it say Evita, you need to post in the One XL forum and install software from there and follow guides from there.

If you go to your bootloader it might make more sense.
The phone we talk about here is a quad core Tegra 3.
Hold the volume - button and the power button down together until it restarts in the bootloader, do not let go of the buttons until you see the bootloader !
And he's asking this because the toolkit you are using is from the wrong forum, of you have an endeavoru phone......that's why we need to know what is on the top of your bootloader !

Oh sorry, I misunderstood what he ment. The phone will not do anything, will not go into bootloader or anything. It seems completely dead.
I took it to the AT&T store and they tried to get it to something, anything at all and they too had no luck. It appears I have bricked it.
I now have no idea what to do with it to restore it.
Well I learned something new today. I had no idea there were two different models of the same phone. I think I said that right.
Thanks for the replies guys!
Could the batt be totally dead, leave it on a charger for a while and check if it boots into the bootloader ?!
If u have an AT&T HOX so u are in wrong forum. This is for HOX International.
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
Yes there are two versions of the one x.
To the rest of the world the one x is a quad core tegra 3 device with the codename endeavoru.
In the US the one x is a dual core Qualcomm device with the codename Evita.
So a far as your aware you have a one x. But to the rest of the world. Your device is actually the HTC one xl.
And as such you have flashed something designed for a different phone.
If I recall correctly there are other people in the past who have Also made this same mistake and bricked their device.

True, but the method to get it at least to the bootloader is the same......at least one step in the right direction, after that the correct forum.
It doesn't boot at all so the type of phone is still a doubt here. I have seen people here on AT&T but they bought a unlocked endeavoru somewhere else

I am aware of this now....and yes, it appears bricked. Lesson learned!
My wife purchased the device from Amazon Wireless Unlocked and at full retail to avoid extending our AT&T Contract so there is no telling which model I have. I can't get into bootloader now.
Thanks everyone
Good luck ! Send it in for repair and hope for the best
To be fair i don't think the type of phone is in question here.
The att toolkit is for the one xl
The fact that you used the at&t toolkit to root which worked shows you have the HTC one xl
Using that toolkit to root the tegra version would result in the ROM not loading as it would be flashing a kernel for a different phone.
When you flashed the recovery partition for the tegra one x. At the point that you powered the phone off. It is in recovery mode.
As the recovery is not for your phone its likely messed all the filesystem's up and caused a brick

I inquired at AT&T and because they didn't sell it, they wont do anything. Because I've been with AT&T for 23 months, They did offer to send me a refurbished phone in exchange for mine for a $250 fee.
My only other option is to send it to HTC but I dont know what they charge for repair.

To be fair i don't think the type of phone is in question here.
The att toolkit is for the one xl
The fact that you used the at&t toolkit to root which worked shows you have the HTC one xl
Using that toolkit to root the tegra version would result in the ROM not loading as it would be flashing a kernel for a different phone.
When you flashed the recovery partition for the tegra one x. At the point that you powered the phone off. It is in recovery mode.
As the recovery is not for your phone its likely messed all the filesystem's up and caused a brick

If its a 16gb then its certainly a one XL. But I'm 99% sure from what you have said that it is anyway

Your correct. The AT&T tool kit did work for the root and unlocking the bootloader... The only recovery that came in the tool kit is TWRP and I wanted clockwork mod due to the fact I am used to it and comfortable using it so I went browsing around looking for the Clockwork mod install for the One x when I stumbled upon a thread on XDA pointing to this site I posted in my original post that offered instructions to install CWM so I followed it and here I am now.....
I appreciate all the replies and I assure you I feel very foolish that I have done this. I have always been very careful with my previous devices in making sure something like this didn't happen so I am disappointed in myself for being so careless this time.

Most likely reason he bricked his phone is from flashing CWM which is incompatible with the ATT One X. I have seen people bricking their phones flashing it on their forums.

Sad....... But true
Hello everyone,
I have used you guys in the past for other devices but never needed serious help, so here I am stuck in a looping hell
I have an HTC One X that I am trying to root and install the TWRP (I want to have an android that is factory set without the carrier info and bloatware ect)
The utility I am using is the HTC One X (Tegra 3/International) AIO Kit By Hasoon2000 v2.5. Here is my main issue:
I have successfully navigated all the steps to root the phone (Steps 1-5) and now when I boot into the bootloader I see the following,
***TAMPERED***
*** UNLOCKED ***
evita pvt ship s-on rl
hboot-2.14.0000
radio-0.23a.32.09.29
opendsp-v31.1.0.45.0815
emmc-boot

Now from here it was my understanding that under "next, flash a recovery" I would simply pick "TWRP" and then click "flash recovery". This seems to work as the green bar in the top right loads briefly. After that I am at a loss. If I go to "bootloader" then go to "recovery" like the instructions say the phone just restarts and I see the Rogers splash screen again...
If it helps, when I try to flash the recovery using the "clockwordmod" it gives me an error "cannot load recoveries/cwm.img"
So to make this easier all I want is my phone to have nothing to do with the carrier on it, all traces of that wiped off at the single file level if possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been at this for almost 6 hours straight
Your phone is not HTC One X International (endeavoru). DON'T flash anything from here or you will brick your phone. You have One X "evita". There is a specific forum at xda for your phone.

****.... I have already tried multiple times. Thankfully its not bricked as it still makes calls and texts and boots like normal.. what should I do from here?
I can not locate what I need on the forums with my phone model, anyone have an idea where I can go? Like I said just want a phone with no provider splash screens and no bloatware, just right out of that ole android factory

This is the correct forum to ask: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
Hi everyone.
I've recently been playing with the thought of rooting my HTC One X for the main purpose of getting rid of some of the pre-installed apps and being able to move my apps from the program storage to the phone storage.
I considered myself a pretty techy guy until I started researching what was needed in order to root my phone - I'm not sure I've gotten half the info yet! Which makes me all the more cautious, since I don't want to brick my phone...
Here's what I've done so far:
I unlocked the bootloader on my phone using the official HTC method which required a hell of a lot of work and sending and receiving e-mails. It did reset my phone to stock, but not much else - is this correct?
I've found a ROM I'd like to install on my phone when I get it rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2410320 this bad boy
But from here on out I'm pretty clueless... I find that the more I research, the more things I should consider prior to my rooting-procedure...
In the ROM's description it tells me to have S-OFF, so I googled that and it led me to this article http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.dk/2013/06/do-we-really-need-s-off.html which just made me all the more confused...
As I read it, I don't just have to be aware of my android version (4.2.2) but also my software version (4.17.111.4) - is this correct and if so, how does it affect me?
I've found a couple of guides on how to root my HTC One X with android 4.2.2. but they all seem to be out of date, and besides really poorly written, which makes them all the more difficult to understand
Do you guys know of an up to date guide on how to root a bootloader-unlocked HTC One X?
And also can you guys think of anything else I should consider before trying to root my device?
Thank you very much in advance!

Now you have unlocked bootloader. Copy your new rom to folder on your sd card
1. You must to flash custom recovery like Philz 5.15.9 via computer and fastboot fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
2. Make nandroid backup on your phone in this case you will have backup on your stock rom. You have menu in the custom recovery for this
3. make full wipe format system,data, cache and dalvik cache DON'T FORMAT YOUR SD CARD via recovery and Install the new rom via custom recovery
4. flash the boot.img from your rom archive via computer and fastboot fastboot flash boot boot.img after this run fastboot erase cache
And all this must be in Q&A Section
Just to let you know, there is no official and easy way to S-OFF your HTC One X, you can forget this. (But maybe you already have a S-OFFed device?) For the rest, just look at Thant's post.
