but before jb update it worked normally do you think that downgradeing to ics would solwe the problem
Downgrade is not possible, we can't downgrade the hboot without s-off. The only thing you can do is run a ICS rom. But the hboot will stay the same.

S-off is not available for the one x. No way to downgrade.
Don't buy the phone, you'll be disappointed. Save the money for some time and you'll be able to buy something better and more secure.

i read alot of topics about that phone but i got lost when i found alot of things that i don't understand..
so please help me by simple answers cause i am not an expert..
1- what is S-OFF?
2- what is Locked boot loader?
3- is boot loader locked by default for all phone or just the phones that are locked to specific carrier network ?
4- my device is middle east version + officially unlocked for all networks, so is my boot loader locked?
5- i want to flash custom ROM, so i have to do (S-OFF + Root + Unlock BL + Flash ROM)
i know these things are someway connected, but in which order are they done? whats first then whats next?
6- which custom ROM is the best one that have least errors and best reviews so that it will be fast & solve the battery problem ?
i want to install custom ROM for two reasons..
first: i need to bypass the market block so i can find all programs
second: fix battery drain problem

S-On is a security feuture that HTC implemented to allow people to find their lost or stolen phone online. It is S-on by default and they(the awesome people on xda) are still working on a s-off solution.
You can still flash roms with S-on but you need your bootloader unlocked(Every One X has a locked bootloader). There is a noob friendly guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592355 on how to do so.
The best rom will depend on your own taste. The sense roms are the least buggy and because they have source code for that. Roms like Charmelean, Leedroid, ARHD and so on. You'll see they are sense roms.
On your nr.5, everything you need to know is on the link 2 paragraphs up.
Hope you manage and wellcome to xda and one X, you'll love it here.

Dude!!! S-off or s-on has absolutely nothing to do with finding your phone! Stop bsing. It's a security feature that HTC implemented to lock certain parts of the system. If you have s-off it means full root.

To keep the development clean you can discuss here all related things concurring s off benefits and more.
Huh?
There is a huge thread that's never far from the top.
think he means that the thread is now development not development and discussion now.
Yes because that thread is cleaned a several times i do not want to risk its getting closed or the developer is getting sick of it and stops.
So please if you have something to say about soff that is not helping in anyway to get us nearer to a soff device please post out here if you want it of your back :good:
Just wondering, can we safely flash radios without S-OFF?

Yes unlike early version the radio is within the ROM. So if you flash a ROM with new base you are flashing with the new base.
What are we wanting from s-off then? If we can change the radio, remove carrier branding, change roms and sim-unlock, what else is there?

People want S-OFF so they can do stuff to their phones without having to use HTC's tool to void their warranties. I would assume that's one of the biggest ones.

The ability to flash boot.IMG from recovery is also a good perk. No need to get to a computer to flash a new kernel or ROM.

You can remove carrier branding without s-off by rooting and installing a custom rom but, for sim unlock, s-off is needed.

First you need to unlock your bootloader at HTCDEV.COM,root then install cwm recovery then flash away

The S4 version is Evita. That picture clearly shows EndeavorU.
Almog, Please try to install the recovery through Rom Manager. (I PMd you on that on iandroid)
I know that Paul from Modaco have an S-OFF device and from what I gathered this is the way he installed it.
I would not recommend you to unlock through htcdev. You are lucky to get an S-OFF device, and it will be a shame to lose the warranty, and the opportunity to investigate such a device for the community's benefit.

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!
