Hi all.
I have just received my HTC ONE X on ORANGE UK. I had it unlocked and works well with other networks.
Problem I have is:
1. How can I get rid of the ORANGE UK branding?
2. Revert the software to the ORIGINAL HTC ONE X Software?
I looked thru the Q&A and didn't really find the answer i was looking for. I am a newbie as i have always had the iPhone 4S.
I presume this involves changing the ROM? How?
A Step by step guide would be brilliant.
Thanks Kindly
I believe that you will need to unlock your Bootloader at HTCDev (which will void all warranty) and follow this thread. This will allow you to install any One X ROM you want.

The latest stock HTC software is 1.28.401.9

Unlocking the bootloader, rooting, installing a custom recovery and flashing a custom (or official unbranded) ROM will get you where you need to be...
However, if you have never rooted a phone before this one isn't the best to start on. I would recommend waiting until some of the bugs have been ironed out, like charging in fastboot, the posibility of a one click root, or a fully s-offed process.
If you can be patient, (and the bloat isn't too bad - for Orange anyway) I would recommend waiting.
I had a rooted, s-off desire on Orange, have unlocked and s-offed a bunch of various HTC phones belonging to friends, but even I'm delaying for a while to see how development pans out.
I hate sense too.

Hi thanks. Well I got thru the Bootloader ok. Now I am on step 9 of the recovery. I am not sure which ROM to select in step 4?
UPDATED 13/4 Official Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 5.8.2.7
Can you help please?
I don't know which one to select as there is this one from http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
HTC One X (GSM) Download Recovery & Touch Recovery
I would recommend Android Revolution HD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
Version 3.1 is the latest build with sense. I ran ARHD on my Sensation and its very stable. I'll be running it once I'm sure my device is fault free.

have you installed a custom recovery? if so move the downloaded ROM onto you one x, reboot into recovery, choose "install zip from sdcard". Then "choose zip" and point it at the zip of the rom you downloaded.
@f4flake.
All I have done so far is the unlocked the Bootloader.

your next step is to flash custom recovery mate...once you flashed custom recovery go ahead and flash the rom of your choice. make sure you read the instructions on how to flash the rom and follow the guide carefully. let me know how you get on...
here you go mate watch the video below by the developer of VillainRom on our phone and he is forum moderator as well good guy and knows his stuff

If you follow the link I posted in the 2nd post that will give you all the steps you need to prepare to flash a custom ROM, including the custom recovery image.
After that pick a ROM, I recommend ARHD, then follow the instructions in the ROM thread to flash the ROM.

Hi
Have you saved the recovery image in the fastboot folder on your computer with your fastboot files?
Try
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img
Looks like you missed the word recovery from your command and omitted the file extension.

dear XDA members ,,, as i got a lot of solutions in this form and i see the OTA updates are making problems for many users ,,, here is the solution for people who unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM recovery ......
ON STOCK ROM ...
1- you dont need to relock the bootloader ..
2- download voodoo rootkeeper .. (from market) and run the program and click protect root.
3- you will need your original recovery that you changed to CWM ..
example: if you had 1.28.415.9 and you installed CWM then you need recovery.img for 1.28.415.9 .

Actually I never really had to relock the bootloader to apply an OTA... just flashing the stock recovery and keeping the unlocked bootloader + rooted custom ROM did the trick for me... Tho its not a really good idea to install an OTA patch on top of a custom ROM.
i added ( FOR STOCK ) what i know if you have custom rom you wont receive OTA ... will you ???!!!! ... my solution is about if you are still on Stock ...
if you search google youll see people talking about locking the bootloader and removing root and all kind of crap ...
...since the radio is part of the rom now and the only "advantage" of flashing a RUU is an hboot update.
So what is the "advantage" of an newer hboot? If someone finds an exploit on the 0.43 hboot which is fixed on newer hboots you gonna cry (-:
So my advice..stay on lowest hboot until we get S-OFF.
I also didn't have to relock my bootloader.
Just restored my default back up with cwm before root. Fastboot restore to original recovery (stock), update and done. Went back to fastboot and restored cwm, rooted the phone and done.

What i did was flashed stock recovery, downloaded and installed the update done, that's all i did and root was intact, that was like last month
I'm still haven't issues installing the OTA update.
I followed your instructions and I still get the red triangle error
EDIT:
just did some fishing, and it's because my stock rom is so heavily modified that the OTA won't update anything

Hi to all,
Good day to all who is reading and helping.
I am not very sure if this question have been asked before but looking at the first few pages of tread, I did not come across this question, else i am pretty much blind. heehee.
I am having this problem with my rooted HTC One X (asia version). Previously I could go into the recovery mode in Hboot to perform backup and recovery but recently when I select recovery at Hboot, the phone with show a logo of a phone surrounded by green circular arrows and followed by a logo of a phone with a huge exclamation mark. It will remain so until I press and hold the power button to restart the phone.
The phone is working fine otherwise.
Is there any way for me to get the recovery to work again? I am using clockwork mod btw.
Could any bro or sis help me with the above issue?
Thank you all in advance.
Cheers
It seems to me that you have the stock recovery installed. You can flash the cwm custom recovery again.....
Or did u get a notification from an update to JB in your running OS. Boot it up and check if you have an update waiting.

What do you mean by stock recovery installed?
Yes, I have a JB update waiting to be installed.
Previously I have to go through some steps to prevent my rooting from being wipe out before performing an OTA update and one of them is to head into the recovery of Hboot before running some app to prevent the removal of root.
Just a quick info, I did not install custom rom on my phone, just a stock rooted phone.
Thank you.
If everything is 100% stock except the recovery , you have to flash the stock recovery back. It tries to update to JB but it runs in an error because of the (what i assume now) custom cwm recovery

Don't know really, well if you flash the stock recovery over the existing one you will have for certain the stock
And if you downloaded the update it will continue to try to update everytime you enter the recovery, you said you are using clockworkmod recovery (5.8.4.0 ?)

Hi MarcelHofs,
I dont think so, it should either be 5.8.2.7 or 5.8.3.1.

If you go into HBOOT and select recovery and you are getting those green arrows, you have the right recovery for installing the JB stock OTA so you don't need CWM yet, Does it say relocked or locked at the top of the HBOOT screen mate?
If it's unlocked, run the command, "fastboot oem lock" as you need to have the HBOOT locked with stock recovery installed for the OTA to install
Also the OTA won't delete any apps or settings
---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------
Actually, that exclamation mark you are mentioning is ringing alarm bells, you may need to reflash the stock recovery via fastboot, can you post a pic of the recovery screen you get? I will be home in an hour and can upload the file you need

Yes it is unlock.
At HBOOT, the green arrows is follow by a red exclamation mark if I select recovery, so I can still install JB OTA?
To run the command, my phone have to be in fastboot mode?

Hey, you have a great day at work thought overtime doesn't sound too nice a thing.
Cheers and thanks again.
Hi home now
what you need to do is put the attachment into your fastboot folder (where your unlocktoken.bin was when you unlocked your bootloader.)
Since your bootloader is unlocked, boot your phone into fastboot and then connect it to your pc
open a command prompt and link it to your fastboot folder (cd c:\fastboot - or whatever your path to this folder is)
then type the command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed_1.28.img
then type the command
fastboot oem lock
your Hboot/bootloader should then say relocked at the top and you will have the stock recovery installed.
reboot the phone, download the update and before long you should be basking in the fabled JB goodness
let me know if any problems

Hello everyone.
I just rooted my phone using hasson2000 all in one tool kit, and everything works great.
I am in the UK, with network called Three. (currently waiting for the JB update)
I am currently running android 4.0.4 with sense 4.1.
My question to you folks is will be able to receive OTA updates?
I have heard having a unlocked boot loader prevents the phone from receiving OTA updates.... is this true ?
And will re-locking the bootloader mean I will be able to download OTA update?
I know this is a lot to ask, but as this is my first time I am still what you might call me a noob.
Any help would me much appreciated.
Regards,
Shaazzaarr.
If you did NOT make any changes to the rom, like deleting bloatware and system apps. Then you are still able to fully update the phone. Bootloader can stay unlocked and root too. Don't worry about that.
What you need is
1: stock rom (root is no problem)
2: stock boot.img
3: stock recovery

Hey thanks for the reply.
I'm using the stock rom, haven't touched anything. But i am not using the stock recovery - currently using twrp.
Will i still be able to receive ota updates with a custom recovery? or do I have to do the whole ruu thing?
No you can check and receive ota's you are just not able to actually update, you need to flash back the stock recovery to update. That's all :thumbup:

No you only lose the SU when you officially update the phone. Flashing back the stock recovery will not change the rom or root !

I never use tools
Place the files in a folder like this

From there you can run the command in a dosprompt so its looks like this
C:\fastboot\fastboot erase cache
And put the phone in bootloader menu before you run the command, hold the power button and the volume down button together until it restarts to the bootloader (you should see there the text *fastboot usb*)
Then you can flash ....

I am little new for hox in this, so don't mind and just take some of my questions in general please if looks common :
Would appreciate not to be much techy if possible, just in simple please would be very nice ...
After I get the final(I guess) update 4.2.2 of hox in India soon, I am then going to unlock and root so just want to clarify few things :
1) I want to know if I do boot loader unlock, "just boot loader unlock" then what advantages can I get ? [you can please just reply in I can do this, this n this (will be easy for me to catch things please)]
2) is it needed to be done just to flash recovery like cwm (like using the hasoon 2000's great tool) ?! If I flash recovery I know I can root by pushing su zip file by cwm ( I can catch that) But will I lose ota ?
3) I've heard there's another way like "adb push" the super user apk to /system/app then I can have a root . How to do that?! As I would want to do this if I won't lose the ota and if I lose ota the recovery way . (Sorry if I am mixed up. but your great help will clear me a lot)
You can ignore if you want to the above questions I asked. As all I want is to unlockbootloader and get root and still have everything stock and get the otas if any patch fixes comes in future by htc you never know , I don't want to run after loosing stock and then finding stock files and trying to put them back in to get those updates .
Would be so happy and would highly appreciate the help from such amazing people, Love n Respect Xda~!
if you unlock bootloader you lose all data, and if you root and install custom recovery you lose ota. but you can install a nandroid backup, stock recovery and stock boot.img and get back ota. so everything can be reversed. if you decide to root and install custom roms etc, please make a nandroid backup so you can get back to stock easily. and as you say you can use hasoon2000's toolkit to do all of this.

Thank you for kind reply . You said root and install custom recovery, well if I can root first (just on stock) after bootloader unlock then I don't need any custom recovery or roms. Please tell me how?! I just want root after bootloader unlock without loosing any stock recovery so I don't lose ota . Possible ?!
Other thing can't I after bootloader unlock install supersu file with stock recovery and I guess then all will be fine n I can still keep getting otas as well I guess?! Sorry I never used stock recovery so just asking . I know it comes with power n volume down key .

So what are the steps like
1) which nandroid app to use for backup and when to use at right time, like after unlocking bootloader or when?!
2) And then how to just root without custom recovery? (or if I want to root I need to have a custom recovery too?!)
3) And how to reverse ?
Please tell me

He has already read hasoon's thread if you look in the first post. And to be honest , if you have read hasoon's guide and still asking questions I would advise not to do anything as you are quite probably going to have problems, sorry

Wow Awesome! So I do bootloader unlock and flash cwm recovery and install super user file for root from cwm and I will still get otas right like you did ?! And by htc sense you mean the 4.2.2 update?! Just give me a yes on this please if its all correct ....
Any specific cwm recovery or any will do ?

Yes, you can get the official updates and can be installed by itself for the just app update (as APK files) even if you rooted.
but OTA update zip file( rom update) cannot be intalled by itself, so if you want to install that kind of file you need relocked & stock recovery.
But there is a way no need relocked & stock recovery is OTA zip can be installed by custom recovery "philz_touch_5.11.2-endeavoru" but the rom must be surely pure stock rom.In that way of update is just upgrading the rom only and your Hboot cannot be upgraded.

Awesome man I guess I got your point too, that as I have no other choice to lose the stock recovery as I will have to flash cwm recovery or any other to push the su for root, so then I just saw on hasoon's toolkit that there is an option to flash "your own recovery", where I then can download the stock recovery from the link you gave me first and put that file with the software and it will install it back for me... right ?! if yes then awesome!!

I don't think that HOX will get 4.3 update from htc so there is no need for stock recovery. There are very little chances thay we get 4.3 jelly bean on HOX just flash custom recovery and enjoy sense 5.

Oh I get it I cannot get major update like 4.2.2 though, if I don't do the philz_touch_5.11.2-endeavoru way but again there's a drawback for hboot.
But I guess I can manage to flash this way >> unlock bootlaoder>> flash cwm>> push su>> enjoy>> if new update comes then flash stock recovery back and update .
Need to learn how will I easily flash the stock recovery back as the hasoon2000 3rd post is confusing me a bit ..
But Wow simply Amazing answers man, great thread... it can help so many for a great start ..... even for future htc devices I guess .

mmm kartik I don't think virgolib will agree to that getting 4.2.2 aswell which I guess is being referred to rom update .
So kartik you didn't even first did the back-up to stock and even without that u got the sense update still, right that's what you are saying ?
But the thing is for virgolib that kartik did got the 4.2.2 update too being in cwm recovery
You flash stock recovery the same way as you will the custom, it will overwrite it.

oh ya got it sorry
1- unlock bootloader and install custom recovery.
2- install the zip file of rom.
3- push superuser file via cwm
4- go to fastboot mode download stock recovery from here-
http://www.androidrevolution.nl/downloader/download.php?file=Flash_recovery_4.18.401.2.rar push it via adb - fastboot flash recovery path name of recovery
5- now you have pure stock rom in your hox rooted too but with stock recovery. Enjoy your hox with sense 5
