I have read that its impossible to root the AT&T version, but is it possible to do so with the international one?
Because my friend is having a problem that when he is trying to get the token from the phone, nothing happens. Is this a fault on his side, or is this part of the 4.04 breakage?

That should work for the ATT One X
Rooting can be easily done, just install a custom ROM.
There are many 'stock based ROMs' so you don't even know your on a custom rom.
I've never tried to root a completely stock OS with locked BL on my HOX, so no idea about that.
If you want root, you'll want CWM, if you want that - then you'll want tweaks/performance boost - so, it all eventually leads you to a custom ROM anyway.

my apologies, i meant the bootloader unlocking through htcdev
My friend has the stock international HOX , on 4.04 . When he tries to get the token for htcdev, nothing happens. This kind of surprised me, and i don't know what to suggest
HTCDev has been a bit flaky recently; it definitely does work for the international One X (unless they upgraded hboot in the 2.17 update and somehow broke it, but I haven't seen anyone else mention that). I would say just keep trying, unless they're getting a specific error returned in which case that might give a clue.

2.19? I'm still stuck on 1.29. F$&k HTC! I'm selling my phone and never buying from HTC or any Taiwanese company ever again, or even speaking to a Taiwanese person, I'm gonna get a black marker and erase it from my atlas. How can they do this to me? I'm just gonna commit suicide now, and in my note I'm gonna blame HTC, see how they like that!

Haha aye, typing too fast. Couldn't be having that on my conscience.
Htc dev site was down yesterday, got that report from spanish users that were trying to unlocked their devices.
I do not know cause I m an elevate, dont use that anymore. I live in the upper part of the flat.
Just keep my unlock code bin in my fastboot folder and a copy in dropbox.
And I dont know If all hox variant use the same web. Users that reported that site was down...use tegra hox

Hello people of XDA!
I'm just wondering has anyone got any information on the release of the Optus 1.29 update? It's been nearly a month sinse its initial release and still a no show.

They normally take 2-3 months to issue new firmware. You'll just have to wait it out. One of the things I miss from my iphone..
I'm waiting it on too. By the time It's out there will be a new and better update. Does 1.29 fix any WiFi issues.

Please forgive my extreme Noobness, first Android phone so learning the ropes..
My HTX One X has the Taiwan CID as I bought it online. Phone is now rooted and am being offered OTA updates for Taiwan CID.
Is it possible to flash the Optus Aus CID onto the phone so that I can relock it to install the Optus OTA update when it becomes available, then unlock and reflash recovery mod and superSU?
Thanks
I don't think you can change CID w/out S-OFF.
IF you're unlocked who cares about OTA just install your latest version of custom ROM
BTW This is HTC specific not android general, samsung for example doesn't have this issue.
---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------
I am also waiting eagerly for this update. I have the SD card bug and I want it fixed with 1.29.xxx.11 base hboot, radio etc. before I unlock and start customising.
THis is my second OneX and I believe my first one developed major IO issues after using CWM with 1.26 base which I suspect is all related to the buggy filesystem drivers.
Thanks for the info.
I'm not really that interested in custom ROMs at this stage, still finding my feet with the stock ROM. But rooted in order to use root explorer and Titanium backup etc.
Sounds like I'll just hang out where I am and wait for maybe 1.3 to come out along with S-OFF as I haven't come across any issues so far, currently running 1.29.709.7.
The update was for 1.29.709.12.
regardless of taiwan or whatever region you should update. .11 onwards fixed a bunch of major bugs (flickering, sd card space disappearing)
OK thanks for the advice.
I reflashed the stock recovery back on, re-locked the bootloader then and applied the OTA update.
Now at .12.
Unlocked bootloader, reapplied recovery and added superSU.
One thing that seems a bit annoying is that when the bootloader is unlocked, the phone goes back to factory config. Is that avoidable at all?
Just means have to restore from backup. Using Hasoon2000's HTC All in one toolkit to do most of the work and Titanium for backup/restore

If you do that - you'll void your warranty and the One X has a lot of hardware issues that can come up - G-sensor failture, screen flickering, sd-card disappearing. Your taking a big risk with unlocking the bootloader.
Vodafone Australia in their software update blog have advised it's currently being internally tested and I'd expect it to be released next week. Maybe Optus is doing the same internal testing. There is the question as to when they start and how long to finish. See if Optus has a software update blog

Deff don't unlock bootloader if you have issues. I have the WiFi issues with my phone and Optus wouldn't take it back because they couldbt re create the issue. If I unlock i won't have a hope of getting it serviced

luck of the draw, allphones accepted my return no worries but I did relock/RUU it. lol. Having said that I haven't unlocked my second, which, touch wood, seems perfectly fine aside from the SD card disappearing space bug which is a known software issue resolveable via OTA.
run it for a month or so, if no hardware issues and AFTER 1.29.x.11 OTA (THE ONE THAT FIXES THE SD CARD FILESYSTEM DRIVER BUG!!!) then go for it, my 2c.
Also wouldn't hurt to wait for recovery to come out that has USB mounting , so if anything goes wrong with your storage you can push a ROM to storage to flash instead of being dead in the water and having to relock/RUU. Why HTC u no removeable storage lol... feel sorry for the guys who bricked due to low power back in the early days when you couldn't charge in recovery (?!?!?! why htc tie charging to recovery rofl).
To be brutally honest had I known how much fiddliness was involved in flashing ROMs (no full SOFF etc.) I would have probably waited and gone the SGS3. As it is I love my OneX but really, REALLY missing custom roms (nailed on android rom flashing addict here)
anyone still awake? LOL
zzzzzzzz cmon optus pull your finger out
zzzzzz vodafone needs to pull their finger out as well.... Ahhh, I feel ya man, frustration with getting a custom rom on with ease is starting to get to me. I own a prime aswell and its just as annoying. To top it off both manufacturer updates takes its sweet time to hit the devices, yet they get announced so early
Just have to stick it out a bit more!

I would have already gone custom except for my previous experience with this model (i.e. somehow in flashing I managed to create serious IO lag that not even an RUU would fix) + definite storage/filesystem driver bug on my current unit has turned me off the idea for now. Having said that, I really just want the disappearing space bug sorted, better battery wouldn't hurt, then the only thing that I really want custom ROM for is root and three dot menu mod. I put root and custom in same basket as both involve unlocking bootloader hence invalidating warranty
Running a stock droid feels so dirty lol
I asked around on the Optus forum when this would be released...

Hi,
I am thinking about rooting my one x because it doesn't have hardware or software faults and i don't think I need to send it for warranty. But just incase I will need to in future will I be able to relock it? without htc knowing it when s-off for one x is available.

i dont think so
Might be possible, unless there's something on the phone how would HTC know that we've actually used the unlock code apart from it saying unlocked. There might be a way in the future to wipe these stats if there are any.
Like in the Samsung devices there a custom binary which shows how many times you've flashed you can reset this with a jig.
I'm sure we can revert back to original when we get S-OFF but it's whether any other information is recorded somewhere on the phone by using htcdev.
For what's its worth I couldn't wait and used htcdev.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I'd actually be curious myself if it records somewhere that you used the unlock on it. I'd kind of be surprised if it didn't actually. But you can definitely flash back a stock rom and relock it. Whether that'd work if you sent it in for warranty or not, I don't know. I'm sure someone has tried and can verify though.
I think when you sign up with HTCDev and get the unlock key for your device, you're accepting immediately that signing up alone may void your warranty, but they leave the wording loose so it's difficult to actually tell. It's a nice way out of the warranty for them if they don't want to fix something and you've signed up on HTCDev.
Ok thank you very much guys. Im going to root my phone because it doesn't look like s-off for one x is going to come out soon. What stuff do you guys have on rooted one x?ow

Charmeleon rom, Francos kernel as a start.
For root purposes I use:
AdAway to get rid of ads,
Root Explorer to delete system/app bloatware,
Titanium Backup Pro to backup data app very useful for switching roms,
Autostarts to stop applications from auto starting on boot,
Those are my main root applications along with Super User.
Charmeleon rom is excellent with its vast array of tweaks.

hi I'm pretty new to the android os and I'm thinking about jailbreaking my HTC one x (tegra) to get jellybean, which im sick of waiting for and to get better performance. the thing is, iv read/watched a lot of guides on how to jailbreak/flash the one x and there is some confusing points and points in which the guides contradicts themselves. so just a few questions:
can you revert back to factory settings at any point? iv read in some guides that its impossible, I can't see why though?
what exactly is a ruu? is it the equivalent to a bios? is hboot a ruu?
I know that it is possible to brick your phone if you delete the ruu (hence why you use clockworkmod) but it seems stupid that the phone won't even know how to charge itself, is it that easy to brick?
iv heard that you can update the kernal, what's the advantage of doing this?
any tips on what to do and avoid when doing this, we all have to start somewhere
iv been using this as a main reference for the Rom I'm wanting to use.

a RUU is a leaked official version of an update, it is like a custom rom but it is stock and from HTC... when you buy an HTC phone it has certain RUU installed on it.
jailbreak is for iphones (which everyone here should hate), use the word "root" and "S-OFF" and "unlocked bootloader" when you are using an android phone
you can revert back to stock only if the RUU that you're on it has already been leaked.
the HOX is very very hard to brick! but sometimes i see cases of soft-brick which is easy to solve by the way.
our phone unfortunately doesn't have S-OFF (like almost every HTC phone out there except for the ONE X) so every time you flash a rom you have to flash the corresponding boot.img which contains important file to let your phone run with a certain custom rom.

Thanks for the swift reply, sorry I called it that, I had a iPhone for years but I ended up hating it(just it as a mp3 player now lol).
Well I currently havent done anything to my one x so its stock, but what I'm saying/asking is, surely I can just load a stock Rom and bootloader and be back to square one?
And as for the rom/boot.IMG I can see why it is a bit more complicated. So what's, in your opinion, the biggest reason to/you've flashed from stock?
Thanks again!
There is no way for 100% back to stock (for now). Unlocking bootloader voids your warranty.
Why unlock and flash cutom rom? - Custom roms are far better than stock, better performance, longer battery life... no limit of customizing your phone.
The downside for me is only loosing warranty.

because every phone i buy (android of course) will get rooted! custom roms are awesome, and nerdy
So once you unlock your bootloader and put a new Rom on you loose your warrenty because you can't revert and hide the fact that's what you did?
Hmm I don't know if I should mess with this then, I would but iv not long got my phone back from warranty because of the hardware WiFi issue.
Can anyone really sell to me why I should flash? I mean I'm interested in doing it.

yes, you can't hide, once you have unlocked, that you have voided your warranty... you won't ever have something as stable and fast as custom roms, that's why you should root and unlock your phone
right so better proformace and better battery, is there anything else you root for? i mean what does everyone else root for, for that matter?? i mean i keep looking at my phone and thinking. Hmmm should i, shouldent i? lol
So, I previously had an optimus v, which is like the easiest phone to root and get roms for and what not. Well i was hoping that the One V would be the same, it was not.
So I tried to install some rom that i liked after going through the unlocking and rooting process,and it had a restarting problem where every 5-15 seconds after it would boot it would restart. I found a solution (kind of) to that but most of the links where dead so i had to find them on my own. It led me to putting a custom kernel on it and that did not fix it, so i saw something that getting the OTA update that came out a while ago could cause this, and the only way to return it was to use RUU (i still had a custom kernel at this point, i think) so i got the (hopefully) correct recovery.img from RUU and i flashed that and the next step is to relock the device, so i did via command prompt, and i started RUU up again and it was doing its thing and ended in an error 155. I have tried several times and it has still not worked. I found some stuff saying that the HBOOT i have which is 1.57 doesnt have a supported RUU or something to that effect ( i found lots of conflicting information).
So now i am stuck with a phone that only goes to the bootloader menu and because its relocked i cant flash anything to it.
I have tried fastboot oem unlock and that came up with a command error, and everything else i try to flash just fails.
Any help is welcome and a thank you in advance to anyone that helps.

You should be able to flash a stock RUU for your device while it's in the bootloader menu from here:
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Primo
make sure to download the correct RUU for your carrier/radio band and if its GSM (PRIMOU) or CDMA (PRIMOC), or you can screw it up more.
What network carrier are you with?
EDIT:, Just re-read your post, sorry. I don't know if anyone has posted a RUU for the updated radio, that Virgin Mobile released, you may need to get ahold of Football on this forum and see if he's still helping find/sell RUU's that you need.
Back in the day I had to get ahold of him to get the RUU for my phone that wasn't listed on any RUU site.

UPDATE: So i figured it out, I went and i reflashed the Unlock_code.bin file and now its back to unlocked again. Thanks to FreakyFreakGA to doing his best to help me out.
Be sure to flash an OTA-compatible ROM. Try RhythmicROM or CyanPrimo, both of which I've used for a long time and can attest that they are better HTC One V ROMs.

I never tried to go back to stock, I'm running rhythmic ROM, can't link right now but it seems to work pretty well, its slightly faster than stock when all my stuff is on there and the only problem so far is sometimes when you lock the device and then quickly unlock it then it will freeze and restart.

Yeah, make sure you find the right version for your radio, virgin mobile made a terrible move by updating it so you cant do much with it.
Or kernel or something, anyways mine was v5.2 and it was a pain, i think there was a lot more kernels available for older versions.
Best of luck, and if you are having problems with authentication then try using WPS, in some cases it fixes those types of problems.
Hi everybody, I was thinking whether to open new "story" or not and I thought I can do it by myself..but..I did everything I could, I have read hundreds of forums..some things totally confused me and some simply I don't understand..so however I decided to open new thread because I really need professional help here.
Here is the story,
I've bought used HTC DHD before two days with an custom rom android 4.2.2 but WI-FI not worked and also camera not worked very well (when I take a shot phone turns off). i have tried few roms in hope that will fix the problem (PACman v23, CM10.1 and JT 4.2.2 - and still on JT) but nothing. In bootloader says Unlocked but security is damn ON. So, I worked two whole fckin day without success. I have tried many tools, guides etc but it simply won't make S-OFF. Also I've tried to flash to few stock RUU roms to do a downgrade but every time when try I'm getting some errors (140, 150, 170 or even unknown error xD). I really don't know what to do anymore and because I'm pissed off I came here. I love this phone and I won't sell it third day already. I gave last money for this smartphone..I won't money back..I won't new phone..I just want this to be working device. On pic you can see what I already tried..
So please, be patient and take your time to solve this **** together.
Come on guys, I know this can be fixed. I need just little of your time. and thank you very much in advance.
NO idea why you so desperately want S-OFF in the first place as you can flash custom ROMS without it and there is no other way you can fix wifi on software level (so most probably it's a hardware problem), but anyone have access to search in the upper right corner if you wish.
As for the phone shutting down when taking photos, it's a common problem and is thought to be related to aging battery, but you have a great chance of fixing(compensating) it by increasing CPU voltage a couple of notches. Install CPU Master and increase the mV of corresponding maximum frequency used, it should be 1Ghz to look at if not overclocked, try to increse it by 50mV
You are unlocked and still s-on so, as with every one who has issues like yours, you need to flash the boot.IMG via fastboot from the ROM you want to install, after you've installed the rom.
I suggest switching to SVHD by mygamers, every thing works, its super smooth and is great on battery too.
P.s. unless you REALLY really need the advanced functions of s-off, I wouldn't worry to much about it.
"Some" advantages to unlocked bootloader and s-off are:
Flash new Roms direct with out having to flash boot.img
Restore nandroids that are different from current installed rom easier
Flash radios
Change splash screen (you may only see it when you turn on phone, but it can be awesome thing to show off a bit)

First, why do you need S-Off? You can flash ROMs without S-Off, and S-Off won't fix your WiFi problems. It's not clear whether you're successfully flashing ROMs right now, but you can. You do need to flash the ROM zip's boot.img from fastboot each time after you flash s ROM from recovery.
Second, please bump a thread only once every 24 hours per the forum rules.
It's pretty damn clear that he have tried other ROMS.

But he finishes that line with "but nothing." Given the number of "flash the boot.img" posts I've had to write lately, I was wondering if that meant he managed to get them to boot or not.
Sorry guys that I did't mentioned before but mainly what I want to do is to bring back stock rom but I can't..someone said that I need S-OFF for that, I heard that when you flash stock rom can fix wi-fi and camera and then if you want can install new custom rom after. About damaged hardware, everything is possible. I was in service shop and guy there said that hardware is modem in essence that controling wi-fi, GSM, bluetooth and GPS. Maybe I understood him wrong. But my BL and GSM working just fine. I have to try new step-by-step tutorial, I'll be back soon.

You don't need to get S-Off. Just relock your bootloader with fastboot and run the RUU executable from your computer while the phone's connected to it.

OK, let's clear this. Every rom I've tried worked but wi-fi not again, camera is little stable in JT 4.2.2. Only rom that not worked was JT 4.3 beta 3. Installed very well but when it boots it stays on splash screen forever.

OK, I'll try it..
Locked bootloader as you said, started exe from PC and I got error 131 "CUSTOMER ID ERROR"..what's that??
You need to find a RUU compatible with your phone's region.

How can I know that man, when I try to flash RUU it says "would you like to update from 3.13.000 to 3.13.405.12"..something like that..Ive already tried two stock roms.
Edit: I've tried WWE and ARA RUUs, do I need to try US and UK versions too??

You could make a goldcard to run any RUU, or you could try the US or UK RUUs.

Excuse me, but its "pretty damn clear" that only jellybean roms have been tried!
Why are you getting so agro (agrovated for non Aussie readers)) at the mention of trying to use something other than jellybean?
Only trying to help someone out, mate, have you got issues or you got some reason for hating!

umm if your stuck on splash screen you haven't flashed the kernel. Extract the zip, then place the boot.img into your adb folder. Reboot your phone into hboot then fastboot. Now go to your adb folder type in fastboot flash boot boot.img from cmd.
If that doesn't work to achieve s-off on newer versions of android is 1) Make a goldcard 2) Downgrade with a ruu 3) Get root exploit 4) Get s-off exploit (This was back in 2010 so I don't know if the procedure changed but I s-offed with this. It's probably easier since its 2013:silly
For future reference, Unlocked bootloader means the boot.img is restricted from recovery YOU need to flash kernels via fastboot with Unlocked Bootloader, S-OFF means nothing is restricted apart from splash image, ENG-Soff is engineering mode is same as s-off but with a Eng tag and splash screen is changeable.

First of all there was no any hate nor any of this "agro" of yours lol.
Secondly, none of the mentioned JB ROMS have wifi issues, so there is really no point in wasting time and trying every available ROM.
Cheers and I hope you now got it, we all learn from our mistakes, don't beat yourself up too much. :laugh:
Thanks dude, I'll try it. I have GC tool but problem is this site revskills are down and can't get .img file. Any alternative for this?

I must say, your a total gentleman to clear that up, it is my mistake to believe we are not playing nice and trying to help each other out here, without deliberately flaming or being just simply malice towards fellow xda members...
Don't worry I won't beat myself up to the point I need hospital admission even though that is where I am right now.
Cheers my xda friend I got it now! :thumbup:
