Hi all..from another noob - HTC One V

Hey there. Just wanted to introduce myself(Jason). I'm gonna be getting the One V next week and am considering rooting it...just reading up and trying to understand everything right now. Won't actually do it till I'm comfortable that I know what I'm doing and why. Anyway, if you have any tips..always cool! take it easy!

Don't ever use combo buttons Power + Volume Up!

Well, the best thing to do at the beginning is to make some back up of your current stock ROM, before doing something like unlock your bootloader and/or rooting your phone...:good:

Just rooted today for my first time, it isn't as hard as you would think just follow the instructions and make sure u have a good amount of free time. Also like he said never boot holding the volume up, because that will brick you. And make a backup of your stock rom.

Welcome to the One V section
Hope you'll enjoy your stay here

Welcome bro..don't do anything n a hurry
Read instructions clearly
Tak bakup
Happy roooting:thumbup::beer:

Unlock your bootloader by using ckpv’s guide after that install cwm recovery by Lloir then backup your stock rom via cwm recovery.....

I was confused at this point too, there are basically two steps to rooting:
1) Unlocking Device Bootloader
1b) Booting ClockWorkMod to make a nandroid (aka backup image I think) of your current setup.
2) Rooting

you CAN'T make a backup of your stock ROM without a custom recovery. and this implies also unlocking the bootloader in order to install a custom recovery

First unlock your bootloader then install clockwork mod recovery then for rooting simply flash supersu.zip which you can grab from cm9’s development thread....

Don't expect a nandroid backup from anyone as it can contain personal information and can also brick your device. If it needs be, look for the RUU you need, flash it and then make a backup (if on a custom ROM, back that up first)
IF SOMEONE is smart enough he can follow below steps:-
-restore stock rom
-flash stock recovery
-factory reset
-flash custom recovery
-make backup
I am quite sure someone has done this.

Well someone must have the file from the last step.And it basically it means if I restore that my phone will brick if its not made on my device?
Well if that's the case I guess I'll stick to CM9,too much hassle for me right now...
Basicaly yes.
Only way to go back to stock is to flash clean stock ROM. Look around for threads about that( i can spell it out for you but well im not that big of a person )
On the other hand there are platy of good ROMs around so you dont HAVE to stay on CM9 wich is incompleat you can flash(many of them just highly moded stock roms with increased efficiancy).
Good luck !

[Q] One X root - Advice please

I have received an upgrade from my network - Three UK - htc One X
I rooted my unlocked Evo 3D previously, but reading into One X root, I'm finding conflicting information and no straight forward solutions. I have had 2 software updates already - 4.0.4 now. Sense 4.1
Does it matter that I have these updates and that the phone came from the carrier?
Anyone know the best way to get it rooted, so that I can backup the stock Rom before choosing a custom?
Thanks
Altermatik83
UK
Please explain what you want ? Are on complete stock and want to update or are you on a custom rom and want to update ?
And is there still an update available or did you update it to the latest 4.0.4 sense 4.1 ?
I'm a little confused reading your text !
Update 4.0.4 comes with sense 4.1 this is one update not 2 separate updates !
Please give the proper info so i can help you with this
If you want to root you must unlock via HTC dev first . And second there are devs that has made it easy for you .there's apps in the dev section that will do it all for you here's one i found for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604439 and once you install your recovery you would want to make a back up of your stock Rom

Hi
It is stock, just thought I'd mention that it updated to 4.0.4 recently. Wasn't sure if it would affect the rooting process.

Hi
Thanks for the reply. Do you have to go the HTCdev route with this? I don't mind doing it a harder way, just the best way. I'm guessing it doesnt matter that the phone is locked to a carrier.

You can still root it following the rooting instructions, there are even video guides for it. It is something everyone can successfully do
If you use that app that I recommended in the previous post HTC dev is built in the app

No problem at all, and after the install of the cwm recovery please make a backup of your rom...
And read in on flashing boot.img files with fastboot commands, very important to know and learn how to use them !

S-on is normal ! We don't have s-off yet that's why you have to flash the boot.img file with fastboot commands !!!

There is an app on the Play store called Boot manager which allows you to switch between Roms straight from the app. I have it on my Evo 3D and successfully installed 4 different Roms. I'm not sure if it work on our HOX but i thought i'd let you know anyway

No this will not work, you have to flash the boot.img manually with fastboot commands from the pc ! Because we (one x owners) do not have S-OFF . if we had s-off it would be possible. So the thought is good .....

Don't forget to flash the boot.img included in each rom. (if you get stuck at HTC boot animation or the phone keeps rebooting it means that you forgot this step)

To start over, u should have the stock kernel. U have restored the stock nandroid then u must flash stock kernel...or it will not boot...
Did u flash the kernel at time of installing JB??

Hey i just tried to do this and got error while making backup image of /system
OK so i figured out that i am truly a noob.
I was attempting to install the CDMA version when i needed GSM.
Proud of myself for solving this i went to install the gsm version but sadly now i only get the htc screen with red writing.
It dosent change from there.
Have i done permanent damage because i installed the CDMA version!?
now im getting something really weird my phone goes to the htc screen with red writing then shuts off by itself and then turns on again by itself in a endless cycle of this red writing htc screen.

Alright... let's get your phone fixed!
I assume you have:
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. Installed a recovery
3. Installed a custom CDMA ROM
4. Then installed a GSM ROM
5. Now phone keeps rebooting?
Is that correct?

[Q] Root HTC One X.

Only root.
How can i do this?
Thanks
HTC One X ROOT/SuperSU/BusyBox
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644167
Here's the link, just a tip for next time... use the search function and the root info section
Unlock bootloader, install a recovery and flash supersu.zip. That's it!
If you need more specific instructions, check the guide you can find at one of the tabs of the one x forum index.

The other thread posted above is also good. In fact they are practically the same thing for your purposes. See, the info was there all along in more than one place.
Okay thanks. Some last question. I have a HTC one x (international) version. That will work for me?
And will I lost all that I have on my phone?
And the last, do this will install another rom or kernels? Cause I want to stay on stock..
Thanks for a quick reply friends.

You will lose all the data on your phone, so a backup is recommended. If you follow the guide only through the first post like was said, you will remain on stock kernel and rom and only have root.
Okay thanks a lot. But I'm a little bit confuse, with the two link. Is it the same?
And on the HTC one x forum, I've see a "root info" can I follow this?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
The one in "root info" is a one click method, which is quite simple.
I, however, recommend you to use the other guide (linked by requiem), because by using it you will learn something about adb/fastboot and recovey usage.
If you get in trouble in the future, then you will have the knowledge to recover from it.

Take the first backup of your sd card by using usb cable. Just copy all the stuff from sd to pc. Photos, music, etc. will be saved.
Take second backup, nandroid backup, when you have flashed clockworkmod, by tapping the backup/restore in recovery menu. This will backup your ROM. Nandroid backup will not backup your sdcard.
