Hello, I have recently gotten an htc one x that is running 4.0.4 stock, it was rooted though, and now i want to install a rom on it

The phone is rooted and has cwm, but i know nothing else or how to know anything else cuz this is the first time i use an htc..
Your help is greatly appreciated

Hi there.
I'm new toe the.forum but got referred.of Android forums.
I've searched and tried.a few unrest.guides.to.restore.my HTC to its default state. It was purchased.from 3 so I'm guessing I need a 3 ruu?
The guides I've tried just tell me the ruu is incompatible withbthe phone? I'm on 2.2 and 0.8 bootloader .
Can any one help?
Thanks
Moved to Q&A as not development.
Can anyone help? Would really appreciate getting my desire back to stock.....

Ive not tried to unroot, but the guides i used to get mine rooted also have guides for unrooting so i figure they should work. I dont know if these are the ones you have used or not but here they are:
XDA guide.
The unlockr.
Also id ask in them threads if you have not already done so.
Also, did you use a goldcard to root, as i believe you need this to unroot and that it needs to be the same sd card that the gold card was made with?
I recently got a Dinc2. I immediately HTC unlocked it, and now I'm regretting it. I flashed CWM and flashed superuser. Now i just want to get S-OFF so i can do more to it. I've tried to revert back to 2.3.3 so i can use revolutionary, but nothing I've tried has worked. If someone could point me in the right direction, i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

You gotta relock it and THEN you can downgrade/s-off.
Ahh okay, i didn't think of that. I'll try it, thanks.

I tried rooting a metro WFS for a coworker of mine, and I almost got the bootloader unlocked but it decides to fail right after you load the unlock key... I rooted my VM WFS really easy. I think it might have something to do with the hboot version. Her version was either 1.9 or 1.10 and my hboot was 1.8 or 1.9. I don't remember because it's been a while and I know hers was one version higher than mine. I couldnt find anything about downgrading the hboot, but my guess is that's where you should start.
Alright thanks. I appreciate it

HTCdev.com will give you the version of hboot needed to unlock the bootloader using the key they provide. Just run the RUU then follow the next steps to use the .bin file they email you.
I'm trying to get s-off with my htc evo 4g and im getting so frustrated i cant find anything complete. so far I was able to downgrade my phone to 2.2 from this small tut on themikmik but it never tells how to get actual s-off..i tried unrevoked 3.22 and it stops at waiting for root. im pretty sure i have the hboot drivers installed and it tells my phone what to do up untill it says waiting for root and does nothing. please im a very sad panda. if someone had a link to the ruu that would update my hboot to 2.15.0001 or 2.16.0001 hboot that is rootable with revolution that might work. thank you for your time.

Thank you! do you happen to know which one of those I should use? Also when I downgraded last I guess it locked my boot loader is that a problem?

Unfortunately it's been way too long since I've messed with the OG EVO. The locked bootloader won't be a problem, though.
Hopefully someone could tell me? I don't really want to update past the hboot I need For the revolution root.

Should be this one:
http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa....15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_209995_signed.exe
Thank you I'll try it out I hope I don't mess it up. I just hook the phone up and click on the exe right? Does it need to be in a certain mode?

You can run it with the phone booted to the OS or from the bootloader while connected via Fastboot USB mode. Once you've done that just run the exe from your computer by double-clicking on it. You may need to install HTC Sync also.
um it seems that when i try to use that update it says that it is the wrong update and it gives a error "signarure error" with the spelling error.. :crying:

Is the RUU version newer or older than what's installed on your phone?
I was able to find a flashable image and i got s-off with revolutionary. uh do you happen to know a good kernel to go with cm? or does it flash its own kernel when the rom is flashed? i was able to find a link for cm 7.2 or something like that. know a link for a good kernel? i heard tiamat or mason kernels are good but i cant find a mirror for either of them. you know a place to get them? or a old mirror? thanks for your help ^^
I don't normally make ROM recommendations but if you're looking to go the AOSP route, Deck's Reloaded is one of the best. Everything works. Period. This was one of the last ROM's I ran on my OG EVO before I upgraded. It has the Mason kernel already built in, too.

thanks for all the help. ^^ You know somewhere that has some custom startup animations? I changed the splashscreen to the green android pooin on a apple but right now its stock boot animation.
Take a look at the themes & apps section. Also, I know that the ROM Toolbox app used to include some custom boot animations.
