Getting rid of branding - HTC One X

Hi all,
sorry for my lack of knowledge, I'm a brand new HTC One X owner. I'd like to have the very standard software (ICS in this case) without the branding of T-Mobile. I've bought my phone in Poland (Europe Version).
Any step-by-step tutorials in here? I surely don't want to brick my new phone

not 100% sure on this but think only one way to debrand that is to unlock bootloader and root then install custom rom could be wrong tho

Well, I've got no problem with unlocking the bootloader etc. but I would like to have the normal ICS with HTC's Sense on the phone rather than some cyanogenmod or something along those lines. If anyone can help me out with the needed files and a step-by-step how-to (I'm not dumb when technology is involved, but I have absolutely no contact with the moding scene of Smartphones).

I think ARHD is meant to be pretty close to the standard sense experience. Cyanogen is a good release though, but maybe wait until its more stable on one x?

While i might instal this rom one day, I'd like to give the stock version a try. I don't want all the bull**** from t-mobile though The bootanimation alone is kinda ruining the experience for me

ARHD is a stock Rom tweaked to make it even better. you will find it much better, that is the only way to remove it, or rooting and flashing another boot animation

Easiest way I found was to unlock bootloader, root then delete all the carrier bloat you don't want and then flash a new bootanimation

Since you still opt for ICS the ARHD is the best alternative choice! Just search the thread on the XDA Developer you'll find it.
I have a T-Mob as well but flashed on CM10 for JellyBean and so far works great!

is the ROM English, Russian, or both?
Somebody flash this to your TMOUS G2 and tell me how it is!
Give it a try if you have the phone
Worth a shot since the return or factory rom is out
Also on another quick note is this a ship rom or test. Image in file when run shows test. just interesting is all.
I just got my T-mobile G2 today .. absolutely love the phone and really want to flash this rom on it. Only worry I have is that the HTC Desire Z has a 2GB rom and the G2 a 4GB.. Would it brick my phone? or maybe limit my internal space to 2GB if I flash this rom?
If anything would just limit how much memory is available. Won't brick. If anything going our rom to desire z would brick but didn't
This is shipped Europe Multilang ROM and it's for Desire Z NOT G2, I don't think that you will be able to flash it...

Me too. I just got Tmo G2, but I'm not ready to brick it yet. I've been messing around jailbroken iphones for some time, and I was always able to restore it in case something went wrong. I'm new to Android rooting, so I don't know what the risks are. It would be great, if someone with experience gave us some feedback, or perhaps try it out. I like sense ui much better than g2...
Thanks

I have a TMO G2... Where can I download a signed original Desire Z ROM so I can flash my G2 with it?

All I can say is to be patient, and wait for custom RUUs/ROMs to be built. G2(US), and DZ are pretty same phones, but they have different radios. Flashing baseband to the wrong radio may brick your phone. I guess we need to wait for someone to built custom RUU with DZ operating system, and G2 baseband...

[Q] Custom ROM thats as close to an OFFICIAL DeBranded as possible ??

Hi guys, I have an HTC One X thru 3 Mobile UK, and yes, its FULL of bloatware and apps I do not want or need. So, my question is, if I unlock via HTCdev, I will NOT be able to flash the OFFICIAL Generic HTC ROM (DeBranded), is this right ?? Also, if I cant, what custom ROM can I use that IS AS NEAR to the official ROM as possible ?
Many Thanks in Advance for your kind suggestions.

ARHD is almost official ROM, but most of bloatware is gone and its tweaked for performance

agreed with Putti..ARHD is the one for you mate
Yeah definitely ARHD. I'm running the new v6 release on my previously-branded 3UK handset and its fantastic. Add the menu button change and its spot on.

Is it not possible to "Custom" the stock ROM so that it will flash and it has NOTHING removed or NOTHING changed (ie Vanilla)

Question about 4.2.2 update

Hello everyone, sorry if this has been ask before, but i really need help..i see that the update 4.2.2 has come out recently but as far as i know only in europe..so my question is, does anyone know if the update will come out soon on any part of america? Im from Venezuela and i have my HOX from movistar, and the update obviously doesn't show, not yet at least..and honestly, i dont think that update will come any time soon or ever..so i decided to update my phone like a custom rom..but the problem is that i dont know what is that CID that everyone's talking about and dont know how to know mine..if anyone can help me in any way..the only thing that i can say about my phone right know is, that the bootloader its still lock, i have no root, and offcourse no custom recovery..so, i have an stock phone, and i really want to update my phone! ..i prefer an OTA update than to flash it from recovery, but i will try everything
PS: the english, you know sorry!

Firstly you need to find out if or not your device is AT&T. If so, then unlucky, because the update (as of yet) is only out for the international Tegra 3 version.
Your CID can be found by downloading a free app from the play store. Just search 'CID checker', but at the minute they are pretty much useless to pre determine any updates.
If your device is an international version, either wait with everyone else or manually flash the odexed stock 4.2.2 version onto your phone (this only works for Tegra 3).

CID (Carrier ID) is something like product code for a certain region.
To know your CID you can try this: CID Getter
Take a look here: [Guide] -The Ultimate Stock to Custom ROM Awesomeness thread - Noob friendly
This thread will help you in understanding ROM flashing methods.
Make sure that your phone is EndeavorU not Evita
Thank you! The app says my CID is BSTAR301, do i ever get the ota update? Or the only way is to flash an stock rom?
And the other thing says if only for ICS, and i have JB, but no 4.2.2 obviously.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
No my HOX is no AT&T, and i dont thing my carrier (movistar) bought the phone from AT&T..it has to be the international versión because is a Tegra 3 ..the only thing i dont want from flashing a stock rom its Bécquer i dont want to lose my phone configurations and start all over again
Thats what i love from ota updates, you update your phone but dont lose everything and your phone stay the same but with the upgrades

Then wait until the update is out for you.

Downgrading from 4.2.2 --> 4.1.2

I am kinda new to the HTC world, i have an Xperia S, which is rather easy to downgrade in contrast to HTC one. After upgrading my HTC One X to 4.2.2 my battery is draining very much, it is nearly unusable. So i wanted to if it is possible to downgrade without opening bootloader or S-OFF or anything.
The answer is simple - not possible.
Because HTC One X has S-On, you can't downgrade. And until now there is no safe nor official method to S-Off it.

only way is unlocking bootloader

Hi,
I am new to this HTC world and even you can say, new to Android world. I purchased HTC One X+ in india recently (so I believe it is an unlocked version, not like AT&T, verizon etc). Yesterday I got an update to Android version 4.2.2, which I did. But now want to move back to 4.1.
Please bare with me and help me out to downgrade the same. Please be simple in using terms, as I am very less experienced in using Android (hardly couple of months).
plz plz plz..... :crying:
Thanks in Advance !

Do not flash anything from this forum or follow any guides in this forum, this is for the one x only.
You need to find the forum specific to the one x+ or you will have problems

Is there a particular forum for the htc m9 dev edition?

I've been stuck on the verizon s3 for a couple of years and I finally bought a new phone. Naturally I had to get the developers edition of the HTC One m9. So I am wondering if their is a specific forum for our phones? Or do I just flash a rom according to whatever SIM card I'm using that day?
Also even though it was purchased as a developers edition, can flashing the wrong kernal get me stuck with a locked bootloader again?

Your in the right forums for your Developer Edition M9, Are you still with Verizon ?
I have a bit of a repository for the DE stuff here >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=28823
Any of the Roms in the Developer forums will work fine on your phone, I have tried Leedroid / ViperOneM9 / Stock with Goodies / and ARHD
with no problems.
I would be interested in knowing how you can get Verizon to work on a GSM phone if that is the case.

Awesome, thanks for the link!
I am still with verizon! tried the vzw sim to no avail and so far my m9 is just looking pretty. am still using my vzw s3 with no power button. I may go out today and get a t-mobile Sim card. I am definately dragging my feet because verizon does have the best coverage. But I will also find out if I SIM unlocked the s3. After the power button broke I went crazy with a few dialer code apps and I got to a point where I could manually input APN's. If that's the case I may invest a few bucks to have it fixed.
I was looking at you nicely organized repository and noticed you had a copy of the stock recovery. May I ask what you used to back it up?

LeeDroid is a nice Sense based Rom, lots of tweaks and very stable/bug free and includes his own custom kernel

Anyone know if I already get them to the developer edition the update 1.40.401.8 ?????
Can you rephrase your question? I'm not sure what you're asking.
If you are asking about the 1.40.xx than as far as I know it is firmware for the international version. However you can flash it in Order to run some custom roms. I'm currently using it on my dev edition in order to run viper one.
