My One X got OTA uograde to 4.1.1. I'm trying to get root acess to install a custom rom, but it seems not to work. I've been trying several guides, but all of them refering to putting the phone in "charge only" mode when connecting it to USB. This option is no longer available in Jelly Bean...
My bootloader is unlocked, but the rooting process doesn't seem to work on my phone. I've been trying this.
Have anyone successfully rooted a stock 4.1.1-upgradet One X?
It should work and it's the same process, not sure what guide you're following or where it fails, because you neglected to mention.

I did mention in the link above. The guide from this forum...
On my phone using xda app, I just get taken to the list of One X sub forums.
You still haven't said at what point you got to or how it fails.
It fails when trying to copy files... Doesnt seems to get access. I think maybe this has to do with usb connection mode. Not able to put in charge only...
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
I seem to have the same problem...still checking it out

Flash this SU.zip with CWM/TWRP http://download.chainfire.eu/298/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip and you have root. After reboot install BusyBox from Google Play. First you have to flash recovery, i recommend TWRP (more stable than CWM for most users) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622925.

Yes the recovery takes care of that. Root only applies to everything inside the rom and stands loose from the bootloader and recovery.
Just enter the recovery and tap backup & restore and continue to make a backup. Then you can also copy the clockworkmod folder from the sdcard to the pc just to be safe........

There is a "How to" thread about this in general SGW topic (here).
You have to do everything like written there, the only thing is you have to use your custom downloaded ROM instead of those.

It's best practice to always backup the whole system via nandroid before doing anything so that you could always revert to your backup just in case things don't go as planned. There are a bunch of apps to backup your apps and data like Titanium Backup and MyBackup.

I heard i8150 can only root via recovery
Hello guys,
I have a HTC One X from Vodafone, rooted, unlocked, stock rom, custom recovery, and today (FINALLY ) I received the OTA update to Jelly Bean.
I downloaded it and tried to install it using the custom recovery but it was failing on some assert. I guessed that it was because of the recovery so I flashed back the stock recovery and tried to install; fail again.
Went online and found the directory for the update log and saw an entry saying that there was a problem trying to verify the stock Dropbox apk that comes with the phone and that is placed on /system/apps. I read somewhere that if you modify something on the stock apks the OTA would fail, and unfortunatelly I did, I flashed the Galaxy S3 Dropbox apk on my phone, but that's not the problem, the problem is that I deleted the flashed Dropbox and the stock Dropbox from /system/apps without knowing it and the OTA is still failing.
My guess is that if I can flash the stock Dropbox apk to /system/apps, the OTA will try to verify it and will succeed, and therefore I'll have finally Jelly Bean on my branded device (as I said, is just a guess) so if someone could please send me the stock Dropbox apk, the one located in /system/apps as well as any other file located there that could possibly be related to Dropbox app, it will be very very appreciated.
If you guys think that I'm missing something here and even after flashing the stock Dropbox apk the OTA will still fail for some karma related reasons, please let me know and help me out.
If you need any other info from my phone let me know too.
If you need the .zip file with the official update from Vodafone I have it too.
Thanks in advance.
TO update OTA you SHOULD HAVE ONLY stock recovery and STOCK boot.img(kernel) ..and this way everything will be ok.

I think they're right, if I hadn't touched the system apps then I think the update would work, having only unlocked and rooted. Right after you try to install the update, go to /cache/recovery/ and check the logs for any clues on why the update is failing.
I'll try flashing the RUU for my phone, then applying the OTA and the rerooting as suggested, maybe you should try the same.
And rule number 1 after flashing cwm custom recovery is
always do a nandroid backup from the stock rom ! Now you know why its important.so when you go to JB and start rooting and running custom roms.....do the nandroid backup to avoid these situations !

You need to flash the stock recovery !
Do this command
Fastboot getvar version-main
If a number pops up starting with 2.17 you need to flash back this recovery

And yes you did more than just unlock the bootloader, be specific .... it's necessary for this phone otherwise it gets confusing !

You need stock rom,stock kernel, STOCK RECOVERY....not the custom cwm recovery. That's why the update fails. :thumbup:

The goal after unlocking the bootloader is to flash a custom recovery to flash different roms.....therefore i doubt u flashed the stock recovery.....unlocking the bootloader and flashing a stock recovery doesn't make sense

There is a good chance you are correct. The file in my fastboot folder said recovery and I assumed it was what I was after but it may have been connected to something that I was told to download in the unlocking process (I followed a guide on Youtube by a chap called cursed4eva)
I'm reunlocking the bootloader now because I got an error wh3n i tried to flash that recovery img. "writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------
Okay - so I
1/ reunlocked the bootloader which basically wiped the phone back to its initialt state all be it with an unlocked bootloader.
2/ once again completed the OTA download of Vodafone Jellybean for the One X
3/ flashed the 2.17 recovery img that Marcel provided
4/ tried to update
5/ am currently looking at a download / progress bar! (YESSSS!)
6/ am hoping this works!
Thanks a lot Marcel. I very much appreciate your patience!

I already have the RUU for my phone, and I was planning to follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660807
But I was thinking, what if I flash only the system.img instead of all the 3 files? I already have the stock recovery (the one you provided) and I've never changed the boot.img so I still have the stock one.
What about if I flash the system.img only, and then try the OTA update? Do you think that would work?
Thanks for the help.
Yes you can try that, the phone is already wiped with unlocking the bootloader, i never tried it. But in logical terms it is possible yes. If doesn't work you can always run the complete ruu !
That's weird, I'm getting error 00000006 when trying to flash the system.img.
Reading on other posts that's related to the size of the file, which is around 1 GB. If I can't flash the system.img I think I wont be able to run the entire RUU either.
Do you know a way to bypass this error?

Well I think you can just flash stock recovery back before you do that make a backup with twrp and if you have removed system apps or froze them restore them before flashing stock recovery back & then apply the updates if that is successful just flash twrp back

Plus, the xperia firmware tool says that this is the only firmware for this model(D5316.)

Have you try to google it?
I have tried googling it but no luck.
Only way for me to root is to unlock bootloader it seems.
EDIT; I got root access!!
I unlocked the bootloader via flashtool. I still have bravia engine/camera/etc.

here are the steps I did..I will do my best to provide anything I can.
First thing; unlock the bootloader. I unlocked it via flashtool. i still have bravia engine/clear audio, so that's intact. Put the SUPERSU 2.40 on your SD Card along with the dual recovery flash file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/development/t2-ultra-xzdualrecovery-qa-t2823793
After that I used fastboot to install the CWM recovery( fastboot.exe flash recovery boot.img), and rebooted.
I rebooted into CWM and flashed the dual recovery. follow the instructions to boot into TWRP(I like this recovery.)and flash SUPERSU 2.40. Wipe cache/dalvik/system. If you get a bootloop, reboot into recovery and flash the pre rooted stock firmware from here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/development/t2-ultra-d5303-4-4-3-pre-rooted-stock-t2962677. then reboot.
another fun fact? I also successfully backed up the TA Partition. woo!
What file did you flash at first? Is it T2U-SS_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-207_v01.img ?
It didn't work for me, I could not reboot into CWM or whatever custom recovery it contains.
Thank you!

Sure.
BEFORE ANYTHING; Put supersu 2.40 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/t2-ultra/development/t2-ultra-xzdualrecovery-qa-t2823793 on your SD Card!!
I used flashtool(http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php)to unlock the bootloader first. I still had my TA Keys so it should be fine.
after unlocking the bootloader, reboot into fastboot mode(I think it's while the phone boots up, you hold power+up vol). and use this; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2685932 to boot into CWM recovery.
Once you're in CWM, Install the dual recovery and reboot phone. Hold down vol when the green LED turns on, you will reboot into TWRP. Touch controls won't work but if you press the power button and press it again, touch works.
Install SuperSU 2.40 and you should be okay..
That kernel works on 4.4.2? in the CWM thread right in the first post it says requirements 4.3. Need more details before I move forward with this.
I am on a US D5316 running 4.4.2 , build 19.1.A.0.486.

You have 2 problems here:
1) You need a stock (never rooted) ROM to install OTA. Unrooting won't work.
2) You need stock recovery to install OTA. Won't install by TWRP.
Find your correct stock TWRP backup, restore it, then flash the corresponding stock recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

PC not recognizing by what? adb or fastboot, or otherwise?

Not enough info. Once you get the PC to recognize phone by fastboot, do fastboot getvar all, then post the results (delete IMEI and serial number).
Also need to know what TWRP backup number you tried to restore.
Thanks for the reply....managed to install adb and fastboot then send zip file over..all back up and running now
