Hi everyone,
i know this topic is discussed allot but i would like to clear this out
I would like to ask a couple of questions .
I'm new to this ,bought me a htc one x.
douwding if i should root or not.
after root are there problems with sim card or connectivity?
applying custom rom would there also be connectivity problems?
can't accept anymore updates after root (OTA) (brick phone or bootloop, right )?
with latest custom roms ,how much would battery life increase (not talking about roms for overclocking)?
stock rom = integrated rom when you bought htc one x ?
when you unroot the htc one x is warranty back in place?
do you always need to clear all the data before you install custom rom?
sorry about all the questions
Thanks

Root and updates
That's a little more than a couple of questions no?
I'll try to answer some of them, hopefully right.
Official Updates
What I found with the HTC Sensation Root, is that it won't affect your updates IF you install the custom recovery back to the device. I believe the same might be true with the HTC One X.
If you stay with other recovery (like clockworkmod) the update won't work.
Connectivity
I don't believe you'll get any serious connectivity problems if you don't change radios.
Stock Rom = The original HTC One X Rom
But be careful, since there will be many different versions of HTC One X's out there, therefore there will be many different stock roms.
Clear data before installing
Mandatory, no. Recommended, Yes.

I haven't experienced any problems. I even have GPS improvements with custom roms . Sim card works fine. So does contacts synchronizing with Google. (GPS fix)

When you're on a custom ROM, you don't receive OTA updates. I suggest if you root your phone, make a Nandroid backup with clockworkmod recovery before flashing a custom ROM. (There a lot of tutorials out there)
with latest custom roms ,how much would battery life increase (not talking about roms for overclocking)?
Click to expand...

That depends on what custom ROM you're going to use. I just got 1.28 firmware pushed to my phone. I restored a Nandroid backup of stock ROM, then downloaded the 1.28 update. I deleted the hboot update and recovery from it and installed it. I then flashed Android Revolution HD over it. 1.28 is the official HTC battery and screen fix update. But almost every custom ROM here based on 1.26 has the fix build in by the developer. So no worries about that. I read when you have configured a HTC Sense account. It will start some background processes every time you boot and those drain battery life.

Yup. You can also download stock ROMs. (read on the development section)
when you unroot the htc one x is warranty back in place?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you undo everything: Yes. That means relock the bootloader again and flash the stock ROM back. Delete every trace that you rooted your device. Don't forget to flash stock recovery.
do you always need to clear all the data before you install custom rom?

I only clear data if I get unexpected problems with the ROM not mentioned in the thread. But if you go from cyanogen mod or some other AOSP rom to a sense or touchwiz rom, or vice versa do clear data.

Root is just a change in permissions, allowing you access to system files. It doesn't change anything in the system itself. There should be no change in connectivity.

Depends on the ROM, what base was used, and what was changed. Stick to ROMs that are used by a good number of others, and proven to be reliable, and you should be fine.

You may lose root, and true (depending on what was updated) you may be stuck in a bootloop. Simple rule, if rooted, don't install OTA's or any other "official" updates. Rooted, safe versions to flash are almost always get posted here, and quickly.

Again, this depends on what was changed in the ROM. And even so, results tend to vary from user to user. No easy answer to this question.

If you are updating to a new version of the same custom ROM, you usually fine keeping data (but check the instructions for that ROM for more details).
If the going between custom ROMs, or stock to a custom ROM, if the base is similar, you may be okay keeping data. But you may also have random and severe bugs. The safest thing to do in these cases is to wipe data.
This temp root is a NOGO considering the dead battery bug
If you root just make sure you don't run out of juice. You will not be able to charge the H1X while it is off!!
Which means you have to fiddle for hours to charge iit just a minimum to turn it back on and fully charge. Maybe you are unlucky and you have bricked it, once it has lost juice.
So root to me is a far way off until this problem ist solved.
Hi everyone.
I own a HTC One M8 with CID 144, if I remember correctly. It's factory unlocked (all phones sold in Singapore are unlocked, by law), and I upgraded to Lollipop a couple of days ago, with firmware version 4.19.707.2 (Asia WWE).
I have noticed several issues, or perhaps bugs. If these can be resolved in Lollipop itself, that would be excellent - if not, I'd like to downgrade back to Kit Kat.
First - whenever I get a notification and don't unlock my phone to view it, the phone buzzes intermittently, again and again, until I check my phone. It doesn't behave like it did in Kit Kat and like it should in every other phone - vibrate twice, and stop.
Secondly, and related to the above problem, is that all my WhatsApp notifications vibrate, even when ALL notification types, both individual and group messages are set to NOT vibrate. Is the built-in notification system overriding WhatsApp's control over vibration and sound?
Next, I have Wi-Fi disconnection issues. I already sleep relatively far from the router, separated by three concrete walls, and I experienced disconnection, occasionally, in Kit Kat. It happens far more often now, even with Wi-Fi optimisation for battery switched off.
Next, I cannot tap on a notification when it appears to go into that app - also very different from Kit Kat behaviour. I can only slide it away and manually enter the app from either the home screen or the app drawer. In general, I don't much like the new notification look and feel.
Last of all, and ironically, my battery life seems to have decreased after upgrading to Lollipop - contrary to what Google promised.
Are there any solutions to these, or is there a way I can downgrade?
Thanks in advance.
Are you s-off?

No - not even rooted or unlocked.
Hmm I don't know if you can do that with everything stock. Only way I know is by flashing an RUU file. But you need unlocked bootloader for that, but not sure if you also need to be s-off.
To downgrade the bootloader you need indeed s-off. But there is a possibility that you can downgrade only the software. I am not 100% sure that the older kitkat roms work on the newest hboots but that's a trial and error.
So what you need to do is
Unlock the bootloader
Flash a custom recovery
Install a kitkat rom or restore a kit kat nandroid backup
or
Buy the sunshine s-off method and downgrade also the hboot which is indeed possible with a ruu or a firmware.
Thanks for the clear replies.
However, SunShine needs the Dalvik runtime - Lollipop uses ART. How do I change it? I can't find the option in Developer Options...
Then wait for a sunshine update that might get released or try the first method i described
I confirm that it is possible to downgrade to Kitkat.
I was on Lollipop 4.16.401.10, but I needed the xposed framework.
I first installed custom recovery
then installed a nandroid backup of 3.28.401.6 and via OTA back to 3.28.401.9

Thank you for confirming the idea
Didn't work for me. I flashed a complete stock nandroid 3.28.401.9 Rom. Wouldn't boot past HTC one screen.
Had to RUU back.
Maybe the intermediate step of flashing the ota fixed it for the guy above.
Well, I see. Does anyone have a RUU for CID 044, firmware version 3.32.707.9?

Hi,
I am facing the same issue. After upgrading to Lollipop, all notifications which come in the phone and are not read, the phone keeps on vibrating intermittently. The same happens on both vibrate or normal mode. Also, I've noticed that the notification sound is different as compared to the sound that I selected for notifications.
Whatsapp is where I am facing this issue the most. Even when I've put a group to mute, it still vibrates and keeps in intermittently vibrating until I don't swipe off the notification or read the messages.
DND mode does help in stopping the vibrations but thats not what want. I am still trying to figure out if this is bug or a feature because this is the only thread identifying this issue.
Any suggestions on how to get this corrected?
Thanks
Thanks for all the suggestions guys - but I did it the easy way. I had to send in my phone for service anyway (dirty speakers and cameras) and when the phone was returned to me, I got KitKat 3.32.707.9 back. Excellent.

I managed to find a fix for this constant, repeated vibration issue - it's actually in Accessibility, and also exists in KitKat, but is switched off. The option is called 'Notification reminder'; switch it off and profit.
Worse battery life
Hello,
How can I reflash the stock sense Lollipop rom? I searched about it on google and forums, haven't found something relevant to my case. I got the rom package from HTC Dev website. Now I am running stock sense lollipop 5.0.1. The reason why I want to do this is because the battery life is bad after the update. A lot of people say that their battery life improved after the OTA with 20-25%. MIne didn't . I tried everything: power it off and reboot it after several seconds, 2 factory resets and deleted cache 2 times. I don't know what else to do. If reflashing doesn't solve the problem I want to downgrade to 4.4.4. Two animations, 3 design updates and 4 new features are not worth dumping the battery like that.
Phone is bootloader unlocked and s-on. No root. Everything stock.
Before lollipop, with 4.4.4 I could have location on with battery saving setting, power saver off, auto brightness, 3g and Wi-Fi on all day and every app I could think of.
During the night time I would activate power saver and turn off Wi-Fi and 3g (just the phone on). The battery would last around 1 day and 5 to 10 hours until I got to 35-40 percent. Medium to intense use.
On Lollipop things are not so good. The battery on the same setup and usage is around 19 hours or less. And I can see it dropping while using the phone.
Facebook apps are NOT guilty, or any other app for that matter. I kept the phone factory state for 2 days. Same battery drainage. It's more than a week now since I installed the update.
I'm open for suggestions and solutions. On 4.4.4 it used to be the best phone out there for me.
Thanks and sorry for the lengthy post

So I'm s-off and unlocked but I'm tired of all the roms I've tried them all on 4.4!
Now to be honest I've tried some of the lollipop Roms but they take like 30mins to boot as I'm still on kit Kat firmware but some do Boot and run Fine it's just I want more options but I've been scared to upgrade my firmware because I don't want to be stuck there if I don't like it after testing ??? So once again I am T-Mobile HTC one m8 Unlocked Boot loader and S-off
Is it a Cake Walk or a Nightmare going to Lolli and or Back to Kit Kat Firmware ????? thanks for looking and Please Advise

I'm on T-Mobile and ive converted back and forth so many times to try out what's out there (international and GPE) that I'm finally back to stock 4.4.2 Kit Kat Tmo. So yes, it's very easy and so many guides to follow.

I bought a similar refurbished phone from Aliexpress and the system information is the same as yours. I think they just messed with the build.prop so the build information looks ready for Europe. I will advise you to install the kdz so you have the Stock ROM and firmware. That was what I did anyway. The only porblem is that you will get some Korean apps but the phone is stable anyway. And when flashing, use "CSC" not "Normal" flash.
By the way, my phone was lagging very much before I installed the Stock ROM.

Hi guys,
I got my HTC 10 last week - phone is a big improvement from the m8.
I am running Telstra's latest firmware - Have s-off already...
Telstra's latest firmware is 1.53.841.6 with Leedroid ROM - have been trying to get VOLTE.
I never got VOLTE with stock because I rooted so fast and S-OFF and installed custom ROMs.
So I had to install stock system image 1.53.841.6, reinstall stock recovery and factory reset and VOLTE icon shows up instantly. Install TWRP and VOLTE remains. But if you install a custom rom and do a full wipe seem to lose VOLTE. Also have to have the telstra firmware to VOLTE to work, I tried with WWE and no go. Also had to ring up telstra as it wasn't activated. So if you are having trouble getting it - might be best to double check. Even though my provisioned flag was on. *#*#4636#*#* to check - tap phone info.
@xlrate reported not wiping data and installing VIPER was able to keep VOLTE. (Updated the customize folder in the rom with my Telstra back up, also the build prop to do this) Also TELST001 cid has to be on.
Has anyone got VOLTE working on a custom ROM on WWE Firmware?
So Aussies... Who's got their new HTC 10?

Telstra OREO update
http://fotadl-az.htc.com/secure/OTA....48.841.31_release_519847tp9bagwfkglchg5u.zip
@Sneakyghost isn't doing the firmware updates anymore.
If you need to use the firmware.zip out of the OREO zip and need to a custom recovery either replace the recovery.img with twrp.img (rename it of course) in the firmware.zip - or flash one after installation.
I got mine about a month ago.. All I've done so far is root it.. (even after all these years, it still sounds wrong)
I normally run ARHD, but, Mike hasn't mentioned developing for the 10, so, I'm stuck atm, not really interested in running a massively modded ROM. But, last night the OTA notification popped up for 1.53.841.6.. So, I'm going to have to do something - the notification is annoying me. So, I guess I have to work out how to update it.
I hadn't even considered the VoLTE requirements.. I just assumed it would all work, even on a custom ROM. 4G did, I didn't think this would be any different.
Is VoLTE worth hanging on to? I don't really get it.. Is it like VOIP for mobiles?

I have had VoLTE working with Leedroid after I used the telstra 1.53 system/customize & parts of the build.prop on the 1.30 base... Haven't been able to get it working on 1.80 base.
Have had to use the telstra firmware for it work, doesn't work on WWE. So it is kinda a pain to get working.
VoLTE is better call quality and if you are on a call you can use LTE/4g to use the internet... Without VoLTE when on calls your phone 3g
EDIT - don't think OTA will work since you are rooted unless you went systemless root
I guess I don't 'appreciate' VoLTE as much as I should, because I rarely make phone calls..
Sadly, not Systemless root. So, I think I need to go back to stock, update and re-root. It's not something I've had to worry about before. So, it's kinda frustrating, and a little too complicated for me to totally understand.
I was going to de-brand it, and just run the WWE RUU.. But, maybe I'll wait for the 1.80 Telstra update and worry about it then.
I got rid of the notification

Anyone experiencing an issue with NFC? While on stock 1.21.841.8 (and locked), worked without issue. Since updating to 1.53.841.6 (and unlocked), can't read my Opal card now ie no vibration, no sound, no anything. Haven't tested my tap & pay banking app yet (which did work without issue prior to updating).
Yes I also had and issue with NFC. Would not read opal card and was an absolute pain to try and read my Amex and Visa card.
Ended up getting another issue with it and returned the phone under warranty for NFC and the other issue.
Still waiting to get a phone back ?

Yeah NFC doesn't work with mine now on 1.53.
I did get a vibrate and a sound when I was on earlier firmware but not now.
Just hoping that the 1.8 update fixes this stuff.......

Tried reflashing the 1.53 firmware again (twice) to see if it fixes it, but it's still not working ie Can switch it on and off, but it does not respond to my opal card.
It's only taken Telstra until this month to push out 1.53, so who knows when (or if) 1.80 will happen. Now I'm trying to decide whether it's worth sending back for another handset or waiting to see if the next OTA will fix it. My biggest concern is that the replacement could be on 1.21 and I could possibly end up with the same issue all over again!

I just tried to NFC on 1.53 and it isn't working very well, hardly at all. I got it to work 3 times in about 15 mins...
Previously I think when I was on 1.30 firmware it was working well before but just had to hold it near the head phone jack.
Any Telstra users want to test out the Telstra firmwares

Make sure you back-up the rom & back up internal storage refer to later posts in that thread.
https://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Device-Updates/Software-Updates-01-07-2016/td-p/585953 Telstra 1.80.841.8 firmware is coming 25-Jul
Leedroid is the best rom for Telstra users. Running it myself and working perfectly, now supports Telstra with carrier support & VoLTE working - thanks @LeeDroid
*Only works on Telstra firmware.
Install Ice yesterday (only got my phone Friday ), really like it over the stock rom.
Some people complained about the LED but I like it. My only complaint about my M8 was how bright the LED was specially in the dark when you're trying to get to sleep.
Another problem I'm having is file transfers freeze when using a USB 2 port on Windows 10.
I like my new M10 but not sure if I like it over the M8 as of yet. I preferred the speaker arrangement on the M8 and having the home, back buttons etc on the screen rather then down the bottom.
I have to admit I'm not a fan of the "Samsung" look at all which is why I bought HTC in the past to begin with. I didn't want to be a part of the flock.
Hey guys,
I'm looking to get the 10 but imported, could someone (especially looking for someone with Optus) check their box to see what specific model it is (e.g. 10h or 10u)?
Thanks guys
The Telstra model is a HTC 10h
ICE (InsertCoin) v2.0.6 supports Telstra also now too. Thanks @baadnewz

Awesome, thanks morgy59
Found out that Telstra's policy for DOA/ELF replacements are within 30 days of purchase. Since a return will result in a repair, I'll wait to see if the OTA will fix the NFC issue first before sending back.
Has anyone experienced an NFC issue on Telstra stock, only to have it disappear after switching to a cusom ROM?

I found it worked perfectly fine on wwe 1.30 firmware using Leedroid. Now I'm on 1.53, hardly works at all

It's doesn't read card on 1.53 on Optus build 710
Hello all,
Long story short I currently have an Unlocked 10, rooted, s off, and bootloader unlocked. I have flashed over the Verizon rom and radios last year and left it this way for a while. I'm getting to the point where I'm about ready for a factory reset but figured I might as well update if I'm going to do that. Better yet I'd like to get on LeeDroid but preferably on Android N.
So I need to update to an Android N ROM first, then over to LeeDroid. I can do it, but frankly I do this stuff so little that every time I get a little nervous. My 10 is my daily driver but I currently have a raggedy s6 here I can pop a sim in for a minute if needed.
So I'm wondering would it make sense to just do a backup, flash the latest Unlocked N version then flash LeeDroid? Wouldn't my Verizon radios stay where they're at, or will flashing those roms over write them? And, none of this flashing should overwrite my recovery, should it?
Also, I apologize if this is not appropriate but my other option at this point is to ask, are there any fairly well regarded XDA friends here with some spare time that would be open to taking 20 bucks or so to get me fixed up remotely over teamviewer or something?
Thanks for all your help. I don't post here often but when I do I always find the direction I need as someone who is not a frequent modder anymore lol.

To minimize potential problems I would start fresh going from M to N.
Flash the full N RUU.exe. Flash the latest TWRP, then flash LeeDroid. New firmware, TWRP, and custom rom.

Would you suggest Verizon N rom since I'm already on Verizon M or would Unlocked N be better?

Get a copy of your current M rom for the firmware you currently have and download that. Remember, we're talking full roms not updates. Now get the latest N rom for your device (full ruu.exe). Now you have options. I would flash the N rom, then the latest TWRP, then LeeDroid. Any problems, and you can go right back to M. I always use TWRP 3.0.2-6 with M. So if I go back to M I flash that version of TWRP (from within TWRP itself) first. Take your time. You can do this. You can get the latest N rom from HTC's website. To get your M rom you'll have to search for it using your firmware numbers. Someone should have a copy.
BTW, you can watch ROOT JUNKY's videos on youtube as a refresher on the basics of flashing TWRP and so on. Don't use his files though. They're old.

Yeah I think you're right. I made it this far lol. But the N rom from HTC would just be the unlocked N wouldn't it, not Verizon? I know the Verizon ruu is over in the Verizon HTC 10 forum here so I could get that. Also I think I need to go brush up on firmware vs rom I tend to think they're the same thing but they're not, right?

I see. By "unlocked" you mean the US unlocked GSM HTC 10. I wouldn't mess with trying to alter your radios right now. Yes, stick with Verizon on everything. LeeDroid should run fine with that. Installing a new HTC rom changes your firmware. It will be updated as you go to N. If you decide to back to M, it will be downgraded. Installing a custom rom won't change your firmware. A full rom is composed of several components. The firmware is one component.

Ohhh okay I follow. Yeah sorry I did mean the GSM Unlocked model, I bought direct from HTC. But I couldn't get it to work on unlocked firmware with Verizon so I ended up flashing the Verizon ROM and radio last year.
So I'll grab the Verizon RUU and flash that, then LeeDroid. And update my TWRP. Its long over due anyways lol
Can't thank you enough for your help. I'm going to give it a shot this weekend I think. I really want to run LeeDroid!
