[Q] How to root my brand new HTC One X (AT&T) - HTC One X

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...?

HTC One x us quad core
HTC One XL is dual core at&t version
wait so just to confirm when i buy the phone the one with only x is the international version and the one with xl is the at&t version.but is there is there any need to unlock bootloader?
I like unlocking my bootloader so I can backup my data partitions with Clockwork Mod. You can't Flash without unlocking the bootloader (don't see why everyone is up in arms about bootloader unlocking).
Also technically the AT&T version is the XL, but they call it the X. The only way to tell really is to check to see if it has Tegra 3 versus the S4. Though if it's AT&T it'll be chalk full of AT&T crapware.

Getting rid of branding

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!

[Q] Update Problem

Hi,
I bought my HTC One X few months ago. And I didn't receive an update yet. When I was waiting for 4.1 JB update I see that my version is very old and I cannot even make a software update check. I don't have that menu in about section.
This my first post so I can't send screanshots but menu looks like that ABOUT>Software Information>
android version 4.0.3
HTC Sense version 4.0
Software Number 1.29.401.7 (Unlocked with HTCDev)
I searched the forum and can not find a solution for this please help.
Thanks
if you dont have the option it means you have a custom rom installed
make a backup of your phone
flash 1.29.401.7 ruu.
EDIT: and dont ever post questions again outside the questions forum

There may not be any updates since then. Jellybean is only just being officially released and isn't even released in most places.

Your phone should be on custom ROM as it do not owned a uodate check button.
You need to determine where your phone origin from by checking CID. Grab cid getter from play store or via fastboot fastboot getvar cid.
Then re-lock bootloader and flash the corresponding RUU to return to stock.
Kindly search and read some tutorials to learn before asking.
Am I right in saying that you bought your One X second hand, as obviously your bootloader has been unlocked via HTCDev
And searching under Android Development brings you right to this collection of all info that one might need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832891
Jelly Been Android 4.1 is only available for certain Hboot versions
You cand find yours by power down your device, wait a few seconds, then press Power and Vol- together and keep holding until you get to the bootloader screen.
From there you can select the recovery and see if that is installed, if not or you don't have the latest recovery installed follow this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592355
Obviously you are already unlocked so you can follow with installing your fastboot folder as described in the last thread and then install Clockworkmod 5.8.4.0 which is the latest...then do a nandroid back up of your current ROM and follow the guides to re-lock your One X, install the stock recovery for your current ROM, then run the apropriate RUU of which after you have the latest stock ROM for your fone and carrier.
BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING MAKE SURE YOUR One X IS FULLY CHARGED
I don't know how to unlock again as you won't have the initial Unlock Token mail from HTCDev...so maybe it is better to just stay with stock. So read read read and understand before you jump in! Have fun
And before byuing a second hand device next time make sure it runs all stock stuff, and if not, that you get also all documentation related to to the device you plan to purchase.

This was my first post on forums, Sorry to violate the forum rules by posting Question on General. I searched deeply about this issue but I really confused and afraid of damaging something.
Replying my message took your 1 minute but it saved probably my 2 hours.
Thanks to everyone. Should I delete the Thread or Move(SomeHow).
That's true. However if he is using a custom Rom it should be on 4.0.4

Depends on how long ago the phone has been rooted and rommed ? Or is that a strange thought ?

Why? He already told us he bought it a couple months ago.
What's your CID? And what else can you find in software info.

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
