I got myself a htc one x today but it has that o2 branded software.
I am looking to get the stock software on it and I don't know how.
Looking for a n00b proof guide.
Thanks for all the help in advance.
Well since nobody answered I'll. I don't want to sound like a troll but don't you think this is a bit going too far?
I don't believe that you bothered to check the 09/07/2012 Everything HTC One X. *** Read this before posting *** Sticky Roll-Up *** or use the search.
Wrong section as well. You'll know that you can't flash the stock WWE rom without SuperCID/S-OFF, and that your only alternative is to load a custom rom.
May want to alter the title slightly, at any rate.
Cheers,
Josh
Moved to Q&A but closed as well since there are already existing threads for that matter.

Hello everyone,
I hope I posted my first question here in the right area (if not, shame on me )
In the next few days my HTC Touch Diamond will arrive from Vodafone. I do not know if this is just in Germany but my last phone from Vodafone, a Sony Ericsson W810i, also had a "special" Vodafone-OS on it. On the W810i I was finally able to look up all the necessary information myself to make it a Vodafone-free phone. But as I read through all the available Wiki's, FAQs and other threads I am starting to see that this might be another level compared to what I have done before.
My questions concerning my new device are whether there is a possibility to change the "Vodafone-red-theme" to the original one which you also can see on HTC's homepage. Of course, the whole device should be in its original form, not just the theme, whereas the Vodafone-Services (SMS-Gateway and all the other service numbers which are needed to use the device). I think it is possible, maybe it has something to do with a "ROM-Upgrade" or so, as I have seen in a FAQ around here.
My other question is, of course, how to do that, what tools are needed etc.
In short, I need you to provide me the right link to a tutorial since here are so many and I do not know which one to take (and I do not want to screw up the device).
I hope that you can help me, if I accidentally posted this thread in the wrong forums might a moderator please be so kind to move it to the right section and notify me of my fault.
Thanks in advance and greetings from Germany (or Bavaria, to be more exact )

We'll let you off!
Yes, you are in the wrong section... you should be in the 'Diamond ROM development' section, but everyone is allowed one mistake (Except, myself... I have infinite mistake allowance!)
My device was vodafone branded when I got it, and that's the first thing I wanted to get rid of too.
First you need to 'Hard SPL', which unlocks the device so you can flash any ROM you wish. Then just flash your required ROM. I would highly recommend AZTOR's X2 Ultimate. He has the philosophy of keeping the ROM as close to the original stock ROM as possible, only better, stronger, faster... like the bionic man (I'm showing my age now!!).
Everything you need is in this tutorial. I followed it to the letter, and now my device is everything it should be. It's always very nerve racking the first time you flash your device, but what ever happens, there's some sharp wizard in this forum with the knowledge to get you out of the brown stuff... have fun
Hi grahamkdt,
thanks for you reply. I already thought after submitting that it would have been better to post this in the development area. I will contact a Mod immediately to solve that.
Thank you for the recommendation about the ROM, but there is still one problem for me:
Should I upgrade the "Radio" first, since in the tutorial you gave to me it is step B. Or is this just a prerequisite to not breaking anything? Are there also different versions?
Regards,
Zuzler
thread moved
now we are all happy
Wow thanks, I also contacted tnyynt for that
Can't remember...

I can't remember if AZTOR's ROM's include the radio. It might be worth flashing a radio first from here. I use Radio v1.09.25.23 (Quad Band) (52.51.25.26H) - no issues at all.
Or, you could ask AZTOR if radio is included in his ROM's if you're really concerned. Personally I'd just flash one first anyway...
Ok, I will ask him personally (just seen hes from Germany, too - might make some things easier)
Thanks again!
I have been looking through this forum and havent come across exactly how to install a new ROM on my t-mo dash... So I am sorry if these are dumb questions... But I do have a touch pro 2 and they explained to me how to install a new ROM on it. Is it the same concept for the Dash? Do I have to flash it with an SPL? If someone could explain all this to me it would be appreciated, or if you could direct me to a part of the forum that will assist me. I want to change the ROM on my dash for practice before I do my TP2...
I'll explain the forum has a sticky & the top take your time to read........... Does say read before posting so as to stop ?'s that are already answered........
The choice if HSPL is yours most people don't but is available in sticky, the noobs guide to flashing is there too.
Good luck.

I couldn't have said it better myself
I have read bits and pieces about what can/can't be flashed with just goldcard and the original SPL but am still a bit confused. Could someone please explain what is possible and what is not? For example, I have heard that you can't downgrade versions but obviously that is too broad a statement as some of the results people have posted in regards to the HK and EU ROMs suggest otherwise.
Unless I'm blind or mistaken, there's nothing much goldcard related in the wiki.
Edit: Moved from the development forum? ....okay
I posted this in the 'Desire Android Development' forum and it got moved to 'Desire General' and subsequently buried.
Can anyone answer this question??

So I'm using the Rogers HOX (evita), and therefore I know I should be using evita-based ROMs. However, not all ROMs specify which model they're for. If a ROM doesn't specifically state which model they're for (either in the title or instructions, I've looked through entire threads and haven't found this information) what should I do? I'm somewhat afraid to ask this question in the ROM-specific thread, given I have a feeling its blatantly obvious and I just missed an easy way of checking this.
Everything on this board is for the EndeavorU.
For Evita ROMs, please see this:

For starters you need to go to the right forum. This is all for the endeavoru phones. There is a thread called AT&T, HTC one XL, ROGERS forum .....
That's where you need to be. Don't flash stuff from here
See, I knew I was missing something obvious. Thanks
Case closed ! :d
