Hello pro's I am just here to make sure my device is safe..I want to install cm10 4.1.1
But I'm afraid of bricking.I would like to hear,when does it brick?
Why?
Is it possible to avoid bircks?
And if it happens can I unbrick both soft and hardware brick?
So basically what should I consider before installing roms so that my phone is safe?
Thanks alot.
There are MANY posts regarding these sorts of questions.
If you follow the instructions on the Rom threads, you will not brick.

So,it's all about doing correctly the process?
Isn't there some kind of hardw. unmatch or some lists(I saw your phone has to be on some list to be able to get JB..)?
For the custom roms based on the leaked htc jb, your phones cid must be in the list of supported ones. Otherwise, you are free to use custom jb roms such as AOSP aokp or cm10 roms.
I read sometime ago that with s-on, it's nearly impossible to brick your phone. Just make a nandroid backup of your current setup before you start experimenting.

hi, i jus wanted to know the pros and cons of rooting my device and more importantly whether i might be able to recieve the ICS OTA update .thanks vvery much..
Rooting allows you to use your device to its full functionality with the risk of allowing you to damage it.
You can use custom ROMs which are greatly enhanced compared to stock ROMs. You can also overclock/undervolt your device, use apps like titanium backup and proxy droid which require root access, have access to system files etc.
The worst thing that can happen is that you brick your device but if you are cautious you can avoid this. Most mods come with guides so if you follow them and just do a little reading before attempting anything you should be fine.
You can probably receive the ICS OTA update but AFAIK HTC will only be rolling it out from the end of May, starting with Europe.
The best you can do
I was getting bored with the stock sense rom, then i rooted my Desire HD and installed several great roms (right now i'm using MIUI ICS) and I'm in love with my phone again.
Doing that reminded me why i bought an android and not an iPhone.
Just be careful, follow all the instructions and you'll be good.
Thanks to all of u for ur support. Can anyone please provide me a link or show me how to root and flash custom rom on my DHD running android 2.3.5. Thanks again

Hello everyone,
I have just become a new Android user and I'm absolutely loving it. I heard about rooting and how it could be dangerous as well as beneficial. I got a SIM-unlocked HTC One V (GSM Version) and I'm too worried to root it without knowing the margin of risk that comes with rooting it. If it is little to no risk could someone please post a tutorial on how to check your firmware version (for example: IML74K), and how to flash a custom kernel? I also heard about one-click rooting. Is it safe and what precautions should I make prior to rooting in case something goes wrong?
Thanks in advance,
-M

I rooted my One V. Couldn't resist. I have a question about custom ROMs. Do I have to do something in CWM Touch Recovery before flashing a custom ROM?

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!
Hello guys,
Before you start shooting let me just say I've rooted since maybe a year and a half ago my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate and have flashed it so many times that I've lost count. So now that phone belongs to my sister and I got my HTC ONE X since maybe 6 months ago. I didn't really had the need to root or flash the phone since I was waiting anxiously for that new Jelly Bean update and have ever since but my hopes are very low right now. I have no idea why they're taking so long to hit us with that dam update. So, this is why I've decided to start looking for info on how t root and flash my One X and I'm guessing that the method to root and flash it might be different so if any one can take me to the right path I would truly appreciate it. Thanks in advance! :cyclops:
You are in the wrong forum mate, you have to go to the at&t HTC one x forum
Don't flash Clockworkmod! Don't flash any ROMs in this section!

This. Don't do the silly thing and flash anything in this forum. The US One X is called the One XL, which has their own forum with working guides and ROMs + recoveries
Ok guys, straight forward... can or can I not use Team Venom ViperX 2.7.1 - Sense 4.1 Rom?
Cause what Im understanding is that I shouldn't use XDA forum at all.
I gotta one x att the cid overwrite doesn't work...I'm not looking for a solution immediately but is anyone else having the same problem with the cid overwrite package...?

I've wanted to say that HTC (as far as I know) is the only smartphones provider that let users unlock bootloader and root devices with step by step guide trough their official site. You have to google "HTC One V root" and search for htc.com site
I'm wondering why they won't sell unlocked and rooted devices
