Official kitkat for E98X hasn't been released yet.
the only way is to flash SphinX series ROM
some thread in XDA has steps for root and flash ROM

root your phone first and install CWM recovery (6.0.4.4 or latest recovery is recommended)
then you can flash any ROM
*remember to BACKUP your phone !

thats all? don't need to flash a modem/baseband or anything?
It's a bit more than that.
Please look in the spinx threat in the android development section.

i did that, but there is so much information about several OGP types that i can't find the right info for my e986 anymore. Thats why i ask for some step by step help
To root use this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2362657
Install freegee app from store and afterwards CWM with freegee.
To win some time look at post number 150 in the threat i mentionned.
There you find links to the files that are needed (the rom, the kernel, twrp and the prop file).

Gesendet von meinem LG-E980 mit Tapatalk
My personal way to get KK on E986 :
0 - Put all needed Files on external SDCard (Rom-TWR-Kernel-Prop file)
1 - With Freegee : Save a copy of EFS Files and put in safe location (not on the internal memory of the phone)
2 - With Freegee : Install CWM
3 - Reboot in recovery (CWM)
4 - With CWM - Backup : Make a full backup of phone on external SD
5 - With CWM - Wipe : Perform Wipe/Factory Reset - Wipe Data - Clean Dalvik
6 - With CWM : Install Zip : Select downloaded rom file from SDCard1 and install. If you see a error message, then look for the "Toggle LOKI" menu and flash the rom file again until no error appears.
7 - With CWM : Reboot in recovery
8 - With CWM : Install Zip : Select downloaded TWR file from SDCard1 and install.(twrp-2.6.1.0-E980-lokified-...)
9 - With CWM : Reboot in recovery
10 - Now CWM is gone and you have TWR environement.
11 - With TWR : Install Zip : Select downloaded Madmarks Kernel zip file and install (kk-e980-stock-lg-by-...).
12 - With TWR : Reboot in recovery
13 - With TWR : Install Zip : Select dowwloaded Prop zip file (build-prop-rev06...
13b - With TWR : Install Zip : SuperSU from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
14 - With TWR : Wipe : Perform factory reset and format data.
15 - Reboot System (i choosed to fix root)
16 - Reboot takes a while .... but should end with a welcome screen.
Be Aware :
- There are diferences between version 14.4.14 and 20.4.14 (latest) of the rom.
- Spinx Radeonmaya is a modded version of original korean rom.
- You loose all your data on internal memory
- Your phone does not identify as E986 anymore.
- I could not install the rom with twrp
- The kernel must be installed with rtwrp
- Madmarks Kernel is needed for SDCard recognition ;
- The prop file is needed for settings of E98X devices
- LG TTS (text to speech) has no european languages behalve english)

Sorry to hear that.
On the first time; i had the same error as you. I went in advanced and selected "toggle loki support" and went back to flash the zip again (a second time) and had no error anymore.
Well if it doesn't help, there seems to be a other version of CWM here which should work.
Look in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2691967&page=26. It's the file recovery6.0.44_E98X_V2.zip.
I hope your backup is functional !!
my backup is working for now
i'm gonna try cwm v2. Hopefully it won't give me any errors *fingers crossed*

I have a German device and i didn't have to flash modem.
You only have to create the apn settings manually.
Please check if you can call somebody and hear something. I had to re-flash the prop file to get audio in phone calls.
And the speaker bug is present on my device.
Nevertheless i eager wait for the official update of our device.

Hi,
I've tried yesterday to install MaximusHD, and I had some trouble.
First I've unlocked the phone, this went fast.
Second according to the manual in MaximusHD forum I flashed the Kernel, I then tried to go to recovery but I only got red exclamation.
The second problem I've got is that I lost my IMEI.
I solved the IMEI problem by flashing boot.img from the RUU of my phone.
maybe it's because I'm a noob, but please help.
Thanks,
Phone: ENDEAVOR
cid: HTC_K18
HBOOT: 1.39
OS: JB 4.1.1
Hi,
After root you need to install a custom recovery specific for the phone, search for it in xda "One X Android Dev" form.
After this you can flash the boot.img for the custom ROM and then flash via the custom recovery the ROM, when aroma installer asks do the Full Wipe,
This will wipe clean the Data, System, and may be the cache partitions so wipe the Cache partition before installing the new ROM,
Good luck

You need a custom recovery! You can choose between TWRP or CWM. Or you have your own (but I guess not so...)

I'm on an HTC One X International, endeavoru, hboot 1.39.0000.
No KitKat roms will install. (Jelly bean ROMs install fine). In TWRP I get something about an error updater binary. In CWM I get status 7 error.
I've tried the latest versions of both TWRP and CWM, and I've tried the modified versions I've seen posted around here. Nothing works. Also tried re-unlocking my bootloader.
Try latest philz recovery..
Normally the latest twrp test img on one of the last few pages should work..
Also which KK Rom do you tried to flash?

Can you try to get a recovery log? You can save it through advanced or so...then upload it here so I can take a ook inside.. normally it should work fine...but I think that if even on those recoveries your zip file is broken...try to redownload it...
And no twrp is not related to philz...you should know that twrp has its own thread ...and I said it's somewhere on the last few pages...if even that doesn't work it's 100% a broken zip file!
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk
Sorry about that, read your post wrong and thought phil was making a mod of twrp .
Tried to flash the lastest twrp-recovery2 test from that thread with WinDroid Toolkit, it doesn't seem to work, phil's CWM is still installed.
Also tried flashing BeanStalk-4.4.255-20140315-endeavoru, always the same error as with AICP.
Checked md5s, doesn't seem like a download error.
I'm stumped
Recovery file is here, ignore the bit at the end where I clicked 'show log' for some reason...
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9043933/recovery.log
Ok, I figured out what's going on here. I have found a recovery file that I need for this ROM, but even though Windroid keeps saying it's been flashed, it's not actually happening. This is the recovery file: recovery-6.0.4.5-endeavoru.img http://d-h.st/Ugy
edit: solved by using a different tool to install recovery. thanks for your help!
Okay so i had my p6 for around 3 months now, and i have rooted it flash quite a lot roms. But 2 weeks ago i flash b506, and it was OK, didn't like the rom, but kinda just, used it.

Try downloading stock B506 and load onto dload and reinstall it.
If that still doesn't work then try this, but I think you'll need to be in fastboot mode...
EDIT: Just follow instructions on my thread for the TWRP Installer.
Use my tool here to install twrp.

1. Download my tool.
2. Extract.
3. Open TWRP installer. Make sure your phone is in fastboot mode.
4. Choose option 1. When it asks you which rom you use, choose 3 (skip).
5. Hold down power and vol(+) and vol (-) buttons.
6. Click wipe button in twrp. Wipe system, dalvik cache, data, cust, internal storage. Note: you will lose all your data.
7. Then go back to main menu, choose install.
8. Find your zip you put on your sd card and swipe to install.
9. Reboot and have fun with OMNI rom.

Hi !
If you already flashed B506CN, you can flash now stock recovery for B506CN , to be able to flash UPDATE.APP from/dload folder !
Put your device in bootloader mode :
> adb reboot bootloader
or
> please press and keep, at the same time : power and volume down till your device shut-down ! Now , release power button but keep pressing volume down till you see Huawei logo : Huawei Ascend ! - In this moment you are in bootloader mode, and you can flash stock recovery for B506 from here !
Good luck !

Hello,
i am new in this Forum an i have a Problem, maybe somone can help me.
I habe the new HTC One M8. I wanted to debrand it, so i unlocked the bootloader and loaded philz touch 6 on it. Super SU was also installed. Then i tried the S-OFF variant with Firewater. Firewater said that in Moment ist not possible to use it on my device. So i decided to remove Root.
Super SU was erased, then i went into philz touch and made a factory reset including Cache/dalvik Cache erasing.
Philz Touch asked me before rebooting if i will install a new Rom. I said yes. I think it was the wrong decision.
From now on i can Access Philz touch, but the phone will not start up it stucks on the htc Logo.
Please can somebody help me?
Thank you
You did the factory reset but didn't flashed another Rom or nandroid backup afterwards? a big LOL ...if you do that factory reset in recovery you won't have any rom on it so don't wonder about that if you can't boot the device xD

Restore a nandroid if you made one or go to this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 and download one that matches your cid.
Thanks, but i cannot find this cid x.xx.112.x - T-Mobile AT (Austria), hope somobedy will be able to upload it.
In that time I would advise to use a custom Rom if you don't care atm about updates from HTC especially if there is nothing special to update like hboot etc and all custom roms are based in latest update

I have a HTC One X with stock Jelly Bean 4.2.2 and I am rooted. My only root apps are SuperSU, adaway, obackup, luckypatcher and titanium backup. I didn't modify any other things like framework or something. I didn't flash anything. Now the phone tells me about this bug fix update. I know I need stock recovery to flash it. So can I simply flash stock recovery then make the update and flash back cwm recovery again?

As long as your bootloader is unlocked, you can switch between recoverys whenever you want :good: So answer to your question is yes, you can flash stock recovery then make the update and flash back cwm recovery again.

You don't necessarily need stock recovery. You can press and hold the vol down and power button to boot into bootloader, select recovery, select install from zip file and in there selected the update zip file (it is stored in downloads folder). I am not sure about other OTA updates but this one installed correctly on my rooted HOX.
