Hi all,
A post on my journey with my HTC ONE X.
Back in October 2012 I got my HOX on a 2 year contract with Vodafone UK. Once charged and turned on I was prompted to update several times (I didn't take note of what version of Android, Hboot and radio I was on before the the update) once all was updated (ICS 2.17.161.4 Radio 2.1204.137D1.21) and accounts set up I was pretty pleased with my HOX, but missed the cool features that the custom ROMS offer (looking back at my Desire S days).
So I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my HOX following the tutorials/guides in the forum. I then flashed ARHD 9.XX and the Extended Quick Settings, APM and OneXed Camera Mods. This ROM plus the mods IMHO is the best out there. For the next few months I was a very happy chap with my rooted HOX.
Then I found out Vodafone released JellyBean for my CIDVODAP001, from there I wanted Jelly Bean & sense 4+
To get there I looked for the correct RUU and finally found it but was stuck with the problem of being a Mac user, so I got the files I needed and used a friends Windows 7 computer, installed what I needed IAW tutorials/guides in the forum. Locked my bootloader and then went for it and RUU updated my HOX. From there it updated several times and after a few hours it was running JB 4.1.1 Sense 4+ (JB 3.14.161.27 Radio 5.1204.164D.30) shortly after I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my HOX again but this time Ive stayed with the stock ROM, but used Titainium Backup to delete a lot of bloatware & restore my apps.
I dont have many gripes with the HOX on JB apart from the lack of Mass Storage and the rubbish Sync Manager. to get round this I use Android File Transfer or in mount it in recovery (CWM). Also some of my apps don't run 100% correct.
What I do like is usb OTG, using a usb OTG cable and usb flash drive and being able to watch/view pictures or video without clogging up the HOX storage space.
If anyone has any questions about what Ive done, do not hesitate to ask and will do my best to answer.
Cheers & Happy New Year.
Doug

Hy all.
I just got a Htc desire hd yesterday with stock android 2.3.3 and i dont know a thing about rooting and hacking android(i had an iPhone 3gs before).So i would like to know how can i get the Sense 3.0 (like the one from htc sensations) on my htc? please someone explain this in a simple way,for dummies like me.
Please if someone want to help me.
Thanks.
Search this forum.. There are numerous guides on how to Root your DHD..
hy thanks
but i need to know the steps .... i dont know anything about this kind of stuff...
Hi,
welcome to XDA! You're generally better off asking questions on the Desire HD Q&A thread.
A stock (as in made by HTC) Sense 3.0 rom isn't available yet (if at all) but there are a few custom roms that dedicated teams have made.
Here's what I did to get 3.0 on my DHD - please note that all these steps may not be necessary but they're just what I did. Also I'm pretty sure they'll void your warranty as I think you'll need to root your phone to get a custom rom on there.
Firstly, read up on this stuff as ignorance = bricked device!
I started by looking at the sticky'd threads over on the Desire HD Development forum here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=765
specifically M_T_M's roll up thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936214
which should contain all the info you'll need to back up, downgrade, root, s-off/eng s-off, flash clockwork recovery, wipe and install a sense 3.0 ROM.
I think you'll probably need to downgrade your phone from 2.3.3 to 1.32.405.6 (I could be wrong, but I don't think you can root 2.3.3 - I'm sure if I'm wrong someone in the know will correct me).
This guide seems to cover downgrading -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
then this guide is great for flashing a ROM etc -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769
I'd recommend Virtuous Unity for a 3.0 Sense rom, but there are others out there.
Hope that helps
Good luck!
Grim.
u are awesome
thanks very much...a very elaborate answer
i will try what u said :d and i have 2 more questions: this whole thing will erase all the content from my phone?(apps contacts etc),and can i come back to original 2.3.3 android if i dont like the sense 3.0 Rom ?

No problem, I know it can be hard if you don't know where to start.
1) Yup, it will erase the content on your phone, but shouldn't erase your SD card.
You can back your contacts up to the SD card through the People application:
people-> menu -> import/export -> export to SD card -> choose account to export.
this will save them as a .vcf file in the root of your SD card, you then reverse the process once you have your new ROM installed.
I think the most popular application to use to back-up your apps is Titanium backup (available from the market), however I think this needs root permissions, so you'll likely not be able to use it (if my previous assumption about not being able to root 2.3.3 is correct). I use a different app called Appmonster which I find better for restoring market links (personal opinion), and I don't think this needs root.
I think it's possible to back up your settings using the above apps, however I'm sure I read that it's not recommended, especially when moving to a sense 3.0 ROM.
Your photos and videos should already be on your SD card, however it might be worth using the (PC) sync software to sync them onto your pc first just in case.
I'm pretty sure you will like your 3.0 ROM, I love the one I'm using. however there are other threads that detail how to restore your phone to stock, I'm sure it's more complex than this (I've not tried it) but I would assume you just flash back a stock ROM. If your handset is network branded you could re-flash either the stock network ROM or a stock HTC ROM - I'd definitely read up on this before attempting it though.
Good luck!
cheers,
Grim
sense will come for dhd like desire s
thanks. again. i will have that in mind.now i am actually reading guides and threads on this forum so i do this right..
its seams that there are a lot of things to consider and know before rooting my phone...gosh,its way harder than how it was with my iPhone....,but i guess i will learn

and isn't something , like a cydia store for android?someone should make a app like that ..i dont think is that hard,considering what huge and great Roms&Apps are the developers from xda making. something closely like it was on iPhone...for those like me who are new to those things..its quite hard at the beginning.
i know i am dreaming,but just saying..
really? where do u know that? because it will be real nice,and i am not actually so happy with voiding my warranty

THIS IS NOT TRUE, the desire HD will NOT receive Sense 3.0 a good example of this...http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/14/htc-sense-3-0-will-only-support-sensation-evo-3d-flyer-and-new/
Not officially at least, XDA is full of partial sense 3.0 ROMS, and I'm sure will be quickly growing with more and more full sense 3.0 ROMS
htc does however, state, they may try to work in a few htc sense 3.0 components into some of the other devices.
Thanks button is aways appreciated!

I will pushlish the ROM soon, I've built it already.
Not sure whether the official Sense 3.5 will comes.
ok ok yeah i am a noob to this htc evo rooting and things im sorry honestly it is the reason i got the phone so i could root it.... but i have had this phone now since august doing excatly what you stated i should do right at signing up for this site.... read search read more and more and more and keep searching... so now after months and hours of this i believe im atleast ready to root.. i have sprint replacing my htc evo with a brand new one due to arrive any day and im planning to root right out of box... im using rooting method i found here ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865204 .... ive downloaded all the files and programs as instructed even copied the thread as so i can read each step agian as preforming it... SORRY A BIT LONG WINDED ... my question is this i want wifi tethering basicly i got the wifi tethering download from ... http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Evo ... is this all i need to open my wifi hotspot free???? and also since ive done all this reading and digging i found alot of info confusing and or unorginized sorry just hard to search and find things is all but i am also looking for a wolf theme set and a mod also but finding most themes in title only no pics and mods with no discriptions ... basicly is there one member with whom i my chat with to help with these issues and point the right way or place to find what im looking for???
sorry one more thing im also going to be activating my second line on my sprint account and getting another phone one with a full slide out keyboard and will need to do this with that phone as well .... what phone would be the easiest and best to do so with....
Yes, if you use the wireless / wifi tether app, you're set for tethering.
Also, if you want a theme made, go ask in the themes/apps section, they'll help you out there. I know billbowers does themes for a fact.
Also your root method will depend on the hboot, so check it before you root it, and do NOT any OTAs before you root.
Also, you'll have to do the appropriate root method for the extra phone.
Theres a few roms out there that has all that integrated into the rom and theres themes made already for those roms,heres a few threads that have what you want...

There's only 2 phones with slide-out qwerty keyboards at this time, running Android. The HTC Shift and the Samsung Epic. Shift you would be pseudo familiar with, being from the HTC lineup. Epic on the other hand may be a little different than what you have read so far, especially if the phone is running Gingerbread. Good luck.
thanks for the info and will follow up on the leads you have given very helpful thank you
sorry..

Sounds like a dirty flash. Did you start a fresh install, wipe everything, prior to installing the new one? If you just flashed over the other build, merging/meshing may occur, but at least it was usable.?

My HOX is my first android phone, having come from the darkside :good:
Learnt an awful lot reading on here so far.. managed to Root n boot it & now stuck with ROMs
Thinking from reading that the ARHD is the way to go to begin with, but a couple of questions should I flash the latest available or is it worth waiting for one based on an official release rather than the current leaked HTC?
Secondly I'm still not sure on the kernels business & whether I should just leave that well alone for now?
Thanks in advance for any help :cyclops:

I suggest you try the newest, it has plenty of fixes: heating is gone, launcher is 60fps.
Kernels are just matter of preference, stock kernel is the most stable and newer one. Gaming is a lot of better with custom kernel like Franco or faux if you use interactive governor.
I'm using the leaked base ARHD with stock kernel and having no problems at all!

I'll say the newest Arhd is all fine. It fixes some heat issues found on previous base(1.29.x). The latest one is better optimized(think it's 7.1, the arhd version(base 2.x)) and stock kernel will be fine. If you game a lot, which I'm sure you'll probably do some time, whether it be now or later. Leave the kernel for now, you'll probably know when or whether you want a different kernel.

All done, and pretty painless except it hung on the HTC screen after ticking the reboot option at the end, but a power on and off sorted just fine so now a member of the ARHD club :-D
One more question, should I delete the backups made via titanium BEFORE the rom change and do a fresh one now I've restored my apps via it please?

Hi all, I bought this htc one v about a month ago and yeah it is my first android phone ever. Annoyed by the self running apps I went ahead and rooted the phone (youtube rocks ). And then I installed /system/appmover from market and being stupid enough I moved some system apps. But unfortunatelt this app permanently deleted those apps. Now my phone is totally messed up.
I need an Indian htc one v stock ROM.
Would someone be generous enough to help me out? plzzzz.
Any suggestions or directions are most welcome. I am a complete noob in android affairs.

Ask Football (from dev section stock roms) for the rom. If you are lucky enough there will be it, if not then it will probably cost you some.
Or since your device is rooted, flash a custom ROM for the time being until the RUU is available. At least you still can use your device.
thnx
Thanks guys for your time.
I'll ask football about the Rom.
I've flashed 'myone rc 3' n got the phone working. But it lags sometimes.
Nvm, the phone is working. Thanks again guys.

Hello Everyone!
First of all I want to say that this is not directly help for me, but for my girlfriend. I dont know you guys, but she is tired of her stock ROM since it freezes a lot of times, and yes, I have checked it, I tried updating, hardreset...etc and after a week the phone gets a lot of performance issues.
So my question is, I would like a modified ROM from the official last update if it exist, I mean that everything is working on the phone and it is of course faster than stock phone. This is not a questions "which is the best" nope, I just want to hear your reccommendations because I am not a user of this phone and I dont know very well all different versions etc. Furthermore I have read a lot on the forums, and i have a small idea what could work for this case.
for example:
Since this is a mod from a Stock ROm, It shoudnt has any problem, Isnt it?

You can use WinDroid 2.0 toolkit. If u want good ROM... Ignorance is really good but try something from higher shelf HTCdroid. It's the best ROM for HTC One V! The smoothest and the fastest. But a lot of ROMs has one issue. Data usage doesn't work... Why? I don't know I'm working on it but here is one ROM what haven't got it it's MoDaCo.one Ir2 here it works. But it's outdated so use newer ROM like Ignorance!

Im starting the process, man this stock ROM gives problems even while sync contacts
If you are tired of sense shpongle is the way to go. If you are okay with it, pick htcdroid. Both best in its classes. Htcdroid seems bugless or only minor bugs visible while shpongle got camera dead - you need 3rd party apk.
