Just got my HOX - what now? - HTC One X

Hey guys,
Before I get teared apart limb from limb, I tried searching for rooting on the new software and didn't really come up with any guides.
So, anyway. I just got my upgrade HOX in the mail, and I'm so excited! Of course, I've been on XDA before and rooted and customized and flashed to my heart's content, but I need some help.
Would someone lead me to a guide for rooting HOX on the NEW software? I just got my new kit today, I don't know if it automatically updates or not. I pretty much want to learn how to get to flashing a ROM.
Thanks!

Use it as stock for a few weeks at least to rule out any manufacturer hardware issues.
Update via the OTA check for updates in settings. (2.17 is the latest)
------
The when you want to play with custom, root of etc....
Install Android SDK
1st step is unlocking the bootloader via HTCdev
Then flashing clockworkmod touch recovery
Then flashing a rom of choice, all which have root I think.

I would actually emphasize this. So many people have had hardware issues and it will be a struggle to get the phone repaired after rooting via HTCDEV. Spare yourself trouble and give some time to rule out those problems.
Besides you can use that time to get to know the available roms, issues with them and the rooting/flashing process

Sorry I'm just trying to learn here but here I go. Are their any complications of using HTC to unlock the bootloader meaning can't the boot loader be relocked if he is trying to send it in for repairs?

It can be relocked but unlocking the first time sends HTC a notion that your device has been unlocked. And there are several people that are having a tough time getting their phones repaired even though the issues are hardware.
Depending on the country and law it is possible to force them to repair or replace a faulty device but trust me, that process will be a lot faster and simpler if you haven't tampered with the bootloader.

An irrelevant response but that's why I will always go the nexus route when buying android so I could avoid most if not all these issues.

Help with HTC One X ATT version
Hi Guys,
So I have unlocked my HTC One X ATT version using the HTCDev.com site. Now I want to install clockworkmod so I can proceed with custom ROM installations. But all the links that I find to CWM are dead.
Can someone point me to the live links please? I am itching to get the CM10 rom installed on my HOX.
Please note there are plenty of sites and links for international version of HOX but I want for ATT.
Thanks,

Can CWM version on HOX Tegra 3 international work on an AT&T model?
I'd supply you my CWM touch, but i don't want to if it won't work.
As I'm unsure, I'll leave this up to you to decide.

You'd be better off asking in the AT&T One X section of this forum. I didn't think you could even use htcdev with it.

And these are the forums where you should go for an AT&T HTC One X:

If you have a ATT HTC One X, get off this forum, go to the proper section, and never come back here. Flashing any rom here will permanently brick your device.

To Root or not to root

Ok so I did do some search and would like to clear up 3 questions please.
1. If I root then the device is still stock (unless I change other things ) but stock is fine. I only want to root it to use this guide:
http://www.guidingtech.com/10821/disable-3-three-dot-menu-htc-one-x-map-to-task-switcher-button/
and get those annoying 3 dots away from my screen
2. If I root will my warranty still be in tact?
3. If I root will I still get updates that I can install from HTC themselfs?
Off my own topic but regarding the upgrade. My phone was imported from Singapore to South Africa because our service products SUCK!!! The update will still come from the South African service provider correct? Don't even know if they will bring one out anyway so...
ps: I have an HTC One X
Thanks guys
Rooting will in theory void the warranty. But you can always unroot to get warranty back. BUT because that you are unlocking your bootloader, you are also voiding your warranty, completely.
There is no way (as of now) to get back to a state, where you have warranty, from an unlocked bootloader.
Only way to root and "keep" warranty, is it either get S-OFF, or find an exploit so the devs can make an easy program like GingerBreak, to root your phone.
Yes, as long as you are on a stock rom, you will get updates, but I don't know if you will loose root that way. I don't think so, but I am not sure.
you only void the warranty if you unlock from htcdev if for example the software you flash on your phone cause an issue with the motherboard for example like overclocking and such. if you have a hardware issue like a broken screen then you are still under warranty. someone correct me if i am wrong..that is kinda the feeling i am getting by reading through the forum
soooo glad I posted it Just registered an account on HTCDev Not gonna do it that way
Ok, can anyone please let me know how to get rid of those 3 dots then I hate being in a app and it reduces the screen for the dots.
You can't without unlocking and rooting your phone
Use this to root, without unlocking your bootloader.
EDIT: Link removed for now.. Not sure if it is working on the Tegra 3 version.
EDIT 2: You guys just have to wait a few hours! Root is on its way!
From the conversation i had with the online tech support at HTC they said that my warranty would be void if i used the unlocking tool at HTCdev.
I even specifically asked if hardware faults would still be covered and he still said no.

Bootloader locked on S4?!

The S4 has a locked bootloader according to Engadget..
If you're hoping to run custom ROMs in place of TouchWiz, you may have to wait for a little while since Samsung has confirmed to us that the bootloader is locked
Why would Samsung start doing this out of the blue? Their devices have always been very easy to root and customize. Seems a little odd that they would do this.
Ok, you could post in the S4 thread itself since it exists as of a little while ago, or you could post in the Off Topic other devices thread since this forum is for the S3

Not that I'm a big supporter of HTC or anything, but their newest Bootloader unlock lets you flash kernels via recovery, even with S-On. The only limitations is flashing modified radios without HTC's signature.

In that case, I doubt it. The verizon S3 came with a locked bootloader, whereas the Sprint version did not.

I believe THIS is the article the OP is referring to. But as CNexus said, it might not be locked on Sprint. But honestly it doesn't matter to me. I will not be Upgrading to the S4. It really doesn't blow me out of the water with Features, Screen, or anything else. Not to mention eventually most of those new features we will be able to have on our S3's .

Ok well, thats not right. On HTC devices (only exception I know of is the EVO 4G), having s-on makes the boot partition unwriteable, except via fastboot and some other hacks
I just got finished helping this guy get his phone booting again. He flashed a rom for the international HTC One and was bootlooping even after flashing another rom. Fastbooting the boot.img fixed him right up.

HTC One X G-sensors not working all of a sudden!

Hey guys... My friend bought an HTC One X second hand. It is rooted with what seems to be stock 4.0.3 Sense 4.0. The phone is also S-OFF and everything.. I will post pictures of it.
So here's the deal:
My friend was watching a movie but suddenly he felt as if the screen wasn't rotating... Now (According to AndroSensor App) the magnetic field, orientation, gyroscope, accelerometer etc... In short.. All of the GRAVITY SENSORS and the orientation sensors aren't working.. They are DETECTED by the app but say "Waiting for event"
tried hard resetting and everything. I have put many Custom ROMs in phones before. So i can flash ROMs etc if i have to
I have attached the pictures about everything and need help.. Alot appreciated thanks.

you should update it first, that is a very old version, you should have updates available. as it is s-off you can flash anything you want but I think you will need to update the hboot first, once that is done you have a lot of options available to you

Go to settings and check for an update. What we all recommend is that you send it to HTC, all untampered One Xs should still be in warranty, so send it to them, if it can't be fixed they'll send you a One X or a One X+, or sometimes they could send a HTC One if you're lucky :/

Oh i'll get right on it when i get my hands on the device can i request you to stay put to this thread? Cuz i will report back here
if you flash a custom recovery you can do anything you want, ie flash a rom, sense or no sense, or flash back to stock and because you are s-off you can even change your cid to install an update from a different region.
this can go on and on and people are starting to repeat themselves and you have had all the information you need to move forward. so what you need to do, as you say you cannot fix under warranty, is :- let the phone update via ota, this will update everything including the rom, the version of sense and the hboot. then once it is finished with all ota's available you can install a custom recovery( I recommend philz touch recovery or the latest twrp) and then you can flash all the rom's or mods you like.
and if you find you still have a problem with sensors check @HTC Venom signature for a possible solution

[Closed]Store display and how to root/install ROMs

Hello,
I got a store display of the HTC One M7 on the Verizon network and I'm still new to all of this. How and what are the steps needed to get root access and be able to install custom ROMs, like CM11 and whatnot?
If there's any info you guys need, I can try my best to figure it out.
And bonus points for recommending any other compatible ROMs I should try out as well?
Thanks guys
Also I just found out I still have 4.2.2 with HTC sense 5.0 would I be able to get root by using weaksauce /HTCDev?
Edit:
All I had to do was reformat the OS from the stock recovery to get it to stock OS and since I still had Android 4.2.2 and HTC sense 5.0 I was able to use weaksauce and firewater/adb to get root and s-off. Thanks guys :good:

Just ordered my new HTC 10. May bring my toolkit back to life!

Some of you may remember me. Made the HTC toolkits from a few years back til about 2014.
I'm rocking the M8 right now, but I just ordered the 10. I've noticed this phone didn't even take off in the market, unfortunately. However, I am planning on bringing back my toolkit and developing one for the HTC 10.
If you don't know what my toolkit is, look in my signature. Mind you, it's been a couple years since I coded and my skills are horribly off. Luckily, I kept all my source files to reference back to.
Hasoon2000 will be back in the game!
Just received my HTC 10. Rooted it and what not.
The rooting process changed slightly from 2 years ago, but no biggie. Made a few adjustments in the code for my toolkit. Should have it uploaded by today or tomorrow.
I'm in the process of cleaning up my code and making the UI cleaner and have a better flow, compared to my old toolkits. Here's a sample of where I am at. What other commands would you like? Mind you, I have been absent from the rooting scene for 2 years, so I have no idea of what happened since. That is why I need your input!
Cool.
Will this work on the Verizon HTC 10?
Maybe firmware upgrades for both S-ON and S-OFF devices?

Now, is the process different for the Verizon model? From what I recall from my old Verizon model toolkits, Verizon phones couldn't be unlocked via HTCDev. Is that still true or can you now use HTCDev? Also, is what is the model codename for Verizon models? pfm/perfume? Got a picture of the Download Mode for me to look at?

Again, it's been a few years. Flashing update OTA/full ROM zip files should be the same for s-on and off, unless they changed something that I don't know about.
Also, who has the new ADB and Fastboot files and that can upload it for me? My files are old (what a surprise).

Did you unlock your bootloader from HTCDev normally? For TWRP, did you use the official one for the HTC 10 pfm/perfume?
What I'm trying to see is if the recovery is universal for the 10 or if they made separate ones for Verizon and for the GSM model.

I did not mean ROM flashing, but firmwares. It has different ways for S-ON and S-OFF.
cool just got back into the HTC game after skipping the M8 and 9 good to see a familiar face

I understood what you meant. My apologies on being unclear. What is the process for each way, and I'll try and make it happen.

I apologize fellas.
I have multiple of my accounts hacked the past few days. PayPal, Facebook, Gmail, Yahoo, other forums, etc. I was able to override all of the hacks and secure my accounts again.
Will need a few more days for this.
In the meantime, what features would you guys like?
I remember your toolkit. I used it with my one X a couple years ago and i found it very useful. It's really cool to see you working on it for the 10.
Also, finding and installing drivers could be a nice and useful extra.
Nice to have you back, I've used a few of your all in one kits. Started with the hox, happy days.
Man, if this makes it easier/faster to update firmware on S-Off and S-On I'm totally gonna love it!
Yeah, if it simplifies firmware installs that would be amazing.

Yeah. Still in the process. Modifying it for the HTC 10. Just started a new job, so life has been pretty hectic. I didn't forget about you guys.
