Hi,
I received an One X from China and would like to use it on Telus in Canada. I noticed that Google Apps aren't installed and I can't sync my google account, I guess you can't use google services in China. This is why I'm looking to install a custom ROM.
The phone is currently running JB 4.1.1 with Sense 4+ and the CID is HTCCN701 (main 3.16.1400.8), Is it possible to install a custom ROM on this phone? And what would be the best ROM with Sense 4 integrated? (I know CMOD is amazing, but I really like the look and feel of Sense)
I have already unlocked the bootloader by following the instructions on the XDA Wiki page for the One X.
Also does anyone know if a Chinese One X is already carrier unlocked and how do I check?
Thanks!

Well it should be able to be rooted and put a custom ROM, but when I had my One X I had som3 trouble putting a ROM on it.

I've recently made the switch from a HTC Desire to a HTC One V. I don't mind the stock ROM, but the battery life sucks... Looking around, i see the bootloader unlocks easily, and rooting can be done easy, but I always thought without s-off, we couldnt change the ROM?
Anyway, i'm itching to find out what is doable here, and you guys are the experts... Fill me in will ya?
After unlocking the bootloader and rooting, you can install any ROM and any Kernel you'd like as long as it's compatible with the ROM you're planning to use. We have a variety of awesome ROMs including Sense ROMs if you like Sense or Vanilla ICS/JB if you like that, too. SuPrimo and myOneV are Sense ROMs and CyanogenMod 9 is stock ICS and CyanogenMod 10 is stock Jelly Bean. Go ahead and pick your poison.

As we don't have s-off till now hence you have to flash kernels through fastboot and after that you can flash roms(compatible with flashed kernel) via recovery.....

To flash my Tmobile cid hox with the wwe ruu?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Yes, but s-off is not possible yet

Thought so wasn't sure though. Hope something gets leaked soon so I can s off!
Not really, you can unlock and install other ROMs.
Don't want to put custom roms on it anymore. Want a official non rooted ruu preferably the wwe one so I don't have to wait for crappy tmobile to release updates

Mike1986 has a clean 2.17.401.x WWE ROM in a thread somewhere, that's as close as you'll be able to get.
S-OFF is not allow for now but you can root to do some thing.
I was wondering that if I put an American based Rom on my phone (reason is because that's the only working Rom I have right now), and if I re-locked my bootloader so my phone doesn't go into custom recovery, if I did that with the American Rom on there, would it reset my phone back to UK stock or just reset the American Rom back to default? Thanks

Which american based ROM are you talking about ?. I think you need to wait for answers and read a lot of threads before attempting anything. Are you doing this to a one x international ?

I have AT&T flavor of m8. I have heard that people are flashing roms from international versions to AT&T versions. Something like this used to be a big no no.
1. Can someone please help me in identifying how is this possible?
2. Which ROMs from this m8 forum can I install on my AT&T version?
I'm S_offed.

I have the att m8 which I converted fully to gpe...can't go back to sense till ruu's become available later if I wanted to...anyway the reason international Roms work is because the att version is pretty much the same hardware as international/gpe... Any ROM from the international side will work... Before I did the ruu gpe conversion...I ran viper arhd insert coin virtuous renovate on my att m8 with no issues.

Ok, I really want to try a few roms from international section. Is there any rom that I have to avoid?

As you are s-off, could you not update your cid and firmware? Then you are free to flash any rom.
I'm not really clued up on carrier branded phones through so I could be mistaken.

I was wondering if modem or any driver component meant for specific version of hardware is included in Rom, and I flash it over to AT&T version, then will it not be a problem? But I think it really not is an issue.

CID/MID has nothing to do with roms, the only time this comes into play is if you are trying to OTA or RUU back to stock, RUU and OTA check the CID/MID and determine whether or not the model is compatible with that particular OTA/RUU... As for modems, generally roms do not include radios/basebands, most roms are just system/boot, if a radio is included it is more then likely stated in the Devs OP, also with S-Off its easy enough to fix radio issues should you run into this. As I said the ATT variant is based off the international and gpe variant hence any rom will work.
You don't need to update the firmware. You can flash any gsm Rom. They pretty much all have the att apn but if not just manually input it.

I am thinking about buying a One M8 and I was just wondering if one can install the Google Play Edition on a regular One M8, if I am not happy with the Sense Gui and want a plain Android?
Also what will I be missing, if any, if I install the GPE?

BTJ
Yes. You'll lose sense features. There's a couple threads about it already. Xda has a nifty search feature.

This. I'm running this myself and it kicks ass. Every bit as smooth as Sense in my case.
Why are you guys linking a page for GSM phones only in a Verizon m8 section? Has it been moded so you can get the ota updates with the Verizon variants now?
No. But all gsm One m8s can flash any gsm rom. If you change the Cid/mid or supercid and flash stock recovery you can receive otas for the variant you flashed. Though, most devs incorporate the updates from otas into their roms fairly quickly.
Suffice it to say I never really understood people's obsessions with getting otas right as their released.

So whenever an android update is released, there will be a new gpe rom available to download shortly thereafter? Or will there just be an update for the gpe rom?
Thanks
Yes there will be updates, it might be a full rom or OTA, depends on the dev. And normally you get it before it would be pushed from the carrier anyway
