Hello everybody, i am new in htc rooting and customizing and seems a little harder than it was on my last phone(Samsung Galaxy S). For now i don't want to instal any custom rom i just want to root my device to be able to boost it in games and enjoy it a little more, my stock rom seems to work great for me and the batery life is good.
I read this guide and seems good, if u have a better one please post it.
I want to know if once rooted i can still do oficial updates and in case i need to send it for warranty if i can un root and relock the bootloader. I know that when you unlock your bootloader u will lose all your apps and my question is , i will lose the providers preinstalled apps to? i kinda need them.
i read a lot of forums that said hox's have wifi problems, sometimes the wifi icons disapears and apears back after a second or two, it never bothered me but if it is a problem i want to know and send it for repair or replace. It is the same problem that many hox users refers to ?
Another question, if i install a custom room and don't like it i can return back exactly on the same stock rom i was before?
My phone: HTC One X International Tegra 3 (16gb version)
(I am sorry for my english, it is not my first language)
Well you must unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery then do a NANDROID BACKUP and copy it to a safe place. after that push the SU.zip (root) file to the phone via the custom recovery and the rom will be rooted.
You can officially update with an unlocked bootloader and root also causes no conflict. When you decide to change the original rom as in removing system apps and other stuff then you are no longer able to update officially. That's why you need the nandroid backup, with that you can always return to full stock ! Except for the bootloader, once you unlock it, it can't go back to locked state but it will show relock.... Warranty could be voided in some cases (read most) if you have trouble or defects with the phone !!!
Ow and about the provider preinstalled apps, they will stay no matter what. They are part of the original rom.
And yes hasoons toolkit works fine.
Hope this helps a bit
It helped, thank you. And about the wifi problem, what do you think ?

Hmm difficult to say, i noticed it sometimes with my device too, when i turn the phone on it pops up instantly but it never troubled me and the connection was directly established. I own the device now almost 8 months ....
Then i supose its ok, i want to be 100% sure that nothing is wrong with my phone before rooting because is risky and i might not be able to send for warranty. I think that the wifi problem is due to the "Power saver" because it has the option "put to sleep data connection when scrren is off" it might be a bug and turns off the wifi even when the screen is on, or that option only refer to mobile data?

No power saver mode counts also for WiFi profiles
I cant get my bootloader unlocked. HTCDev says:
Error Code: 173.
Error Reason: Check Rule Fail with exception.
I saw another one with the same problem, my guess the server is dead for tonight .....
Hope so

You've been sent an email with your unlock key as a file attachment. Please review this email for further instructions and a link to complete the Bootloader process.
but i received no email from htcdev, tried with two acounts, i am waiting for half an hour now
Could take a while, seems to be kinda busy on those servers
Finaly managed to unlock the bootloader and to root it, but i bumped in another problem that i hoped it will end once i root. Games have very low framerate, shadowgun 28-31, Gta VC 15-20, even temple run 40-54. I tried using setcpu and the app(gaming boost) but still no change in framerate.Any solutions? Or somebody knows what is the issue, why so many hox works great and mine have problems managing a game like temple run or subway surf.

*When the screen displays "Install from sdcard complete" use trackball to select "reboot system now" and wait for the phone to power back up.
I will put links to how to resolve different problems later...
If it's not out tomorrow, I think that's gonna be the push I need to make one of those fancy goldcards and install an RUU version of Froyo. What does the telus one have anyway, EDGE disabled?
EDIT: Thanks for collecting this info; more than I knew before.
The telus update won't offer much as I know. They will put some of their crappy apps that you can't delete...add some feature in apps (music dowloading or ringtones downloading... with some downloadable stuff) and thats it.
Any developers on XDA could do this job within 1 week... Htc desire was out on july or august on Telus... and they struggle to get it done in time.
Gold card is not a bad idea at all. Avoiding warranty kinda hurt me.

I got one of the very first Desires from Telus and had it running a custom ROM within three days.
I'm on 2.2.1 now. LOL!
no reason in loosing your mind over this
my phone is currently not working because of radio not compatible with froyo issue. And this RUU might possibly be the only i can fix my problem. No one on this forum was able to give me any help.
Every minute is too long of a wait. RUUs should be out the second a phone is out with the original rom and so on. Not when updates come up and the whole world had time to test those updates..and then..you know what..last minute we notice there's an issue. It's ok, it's not like people stuck in a 3 year contract with a nice paper weight as a phone can do anything about it either..

Root and flash a custom ROM is an easy option... anyone can do it... but like I said... many people don't want to loose their one year warranty...
I'll wait to see what's in the update package... if too many ****ty telus's apps ... I will probably jump in the boat. Unbrand the phone with a gold card and get OTA updates directly from HTC seems to be the cleanest solution for me.
Come on Telus...don't disappoint us ...
btw: More then 50% Desire's owner (Canad) are not with telus... we all bought the phone at full price. And get stucked with telus's apps ( and you can't remove them) will defininetly be disappointing.

That could be the reason to why Telus took out the outright price. I'm with Telus and I even bought it outright then gave it off and bought another outright a month later.
And yes Telus are one of the worst for OS updates, the Hero just got the 2.1 update today. And the Milestone has been taking forever.

Yeah my phone made a strange noise last night and i figured it was this update.
Telus is the worst with OS updates. It was a full year before the Black Berry os update came to the Storm. I tried to do some freaking out at the store to get a new phone style stuff when they told me the new update just came out. I told them it had been a year- why would I assume it would ever come out?
Ill wait to see what ****ty Telus apps they install (is that what is taking them so long?) before I decide what I want to do. I could unbrand or switch to a diff rom- but I think I like sense.
I can understand the "RAGE" about telus sucking at updates. But why are you guys so upset. they will release froyo, all the **** in it will be old as dirt. no one will use anything from it to build a custom rom. And if you want something good you will flash a custom one.
Its like telling the future, except im pretty much guaranteed to be right.
The only thing if at all im concerned about is the ril and the radio.
And maybe a telus voice call app cuz they have it on my account, but be ****ed if i know how to get it going right now.
As for telus and installing ****ty apps. they have been good about that lately, i expect to see little to no Telus apps on the rom. The 2.1 rom was devoid of anything telus but the home page.
Good is subjective my friend. If you find froyo old as dirt its ok... but four those who want to keep their warranty...we have no choice. The probability of loosing 600$ is enough to not make changes on our phone...that will result on loosing the warranty.
Your are not the first...and not the last person to tell us to root..unbrand and bla bla bla...

Loosing warranty is relative to the knowledge of the user.
There is a pretty easy way to put the device back to factory software if you take the correct steps.
Thats if you have to. If the device is a brick before you return it then no harm.
ive already unrooted a telus desire, restored the stock rom from a nandroid backup (unrooted the backup) then flashed the radio back to the stock telus radio. after this i used fastboot to flash a stock recovery back on and lastly flashed the .83.0001 Hboot with fastboot, removing the s-off hboot. effectively returning the whole device back to stock. with all the correct software version numbers.

It's good to know that it is possible to return to the stock config. I think a lot of us "waiters" would get off the bench if we knew it was possible to go back to stock if necessary.
Juggalo_X, would you consider writing a step by step process for returning a Desire to the stock config? Since you have already done it...
The thread is not about how to flash a stock ROM.
I will pay to see you restoring a stock rom when The screen is dead or when your phone wont start...

I got a Telus Desire, so here is my delema (and question)
1. Like HTC Sense and would like to keep it
2. Have a lot of reason to move to 2.2 (BT dialing)
3. want to root phone
I'm guessing there are stock HTC Desire rom floating around (from the factory unlocked desire) but are those rooted/rootable? I heard HTC has been making it harder and harder for us to root. And will rom for AMOLED work with sLCD phone?

I tried a similar (probably the same) rom, but from this thread:

There would be no point in restoring a dead device.
I'm under the impression that you think htc checks the flash on every dead device? this is not so. its cheaper for them to replace the whole main board in a device rather then pay an engineer to remove the board put it on a bed of nails dump the rom via jtag routine and then analyze the binary images.
Also, If we're on the topic of paying me to restore a device with a blank screen send me one ill jtag it for fun and restore the device. How much you willing to pay? i need a Desire Z you know
On a side note, In the past 5 years ive probably sent at the VERY least 15 bricked devices back to HTC, WITH software that would void the warranty on them. and i have ALWAYS got my device returned fixed under warranty every single time.

Pretty difficult to believe that. 15 bricked...
Also just about anyone (cell carrier, manufaturer via phone, etc) will tell you rooting, unlocking and modifying (removing bloatware) will void warranty. I have heard of people sending in devices with those and succeeding but not very often.
15 bricked in 5 Sears. A reason to not listen to you. Not everyone has the time to mess with their phones that much...learn to jtag..etc..

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.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
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.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
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

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

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 ask forgiveness if this has been answered before, but the search function is currently down.
I'm receiving my GSM GN tomorrow, and I'd like to ask a couple of questions, in case anyone has done this with their phone:
I work in a corporate environment that wants encryption on their mobile devices due to the nature of our work (insurance). My ICS tablet, an ASUS TF101, has the ability to do full device encryption, and I'm assuming that the GN can as well. However, I'd like to root my phone as well. This means that I will need to remain stock (which I have no issues with) and also need to keep the stock recovery. I'm not overly interested in running custom ROMs.
Is it possible to root the phone without replacing the stock recovery via an exploit?
Is it more practical, or realistic, to instead:
Unlock bootloader
Install CWM or equivalent recovery
Root device via recovery
Reflash stock recovery
Encrypt device
With my tablet, I rooted it before I encrypted it. Since it did not have an unlocked bootloader or recovery, I had to use one of the exploits that was around at the time.
Anyone have any advice they might share?
With an unlocked bootloader, you can boot whatever kernel you want without flashing it. So, just boot cwm, flash the root files, and done. You have root + stock recovery. Then you can turn on encryption.

Ah, unlocking the bootloader allows you to flash anything you want via the stock recovery? That's quite useful, and I appreciate the response

No, you can flash whatever you want in recovery regardless if your bootloader is locked or not.
What an unlocked bootloader allows you to do is flash whole images to partitions and to boot any kernel you want, using fastboot. So, you can boot up cwm without flashing it: fastboot boot cwm.img

I think you need to decide whether you want the current ROM (which one?), something better or the OTA. After all, you only have one phone.

In order to apply OTA you need a corresponding stock recovery that matches your ROM version.

If you haven't flashed a new recovery, only rooted, then:
fastboot oem lock
And apply the OTAs, you'll have two, 1.29.401.7 and 1.29.401.11, the latter fixes the storage issues.
You can then unlock and root again.
right relocked my phone (when i press volume down and start my phone it says ***relocked*** at the top) downloaded the update via the software update checker clicked install...then it reboots and on the HTC welcome page there is some red text (but flashes off too quick before i can read it) and then takes me back to the same screen where it says relocked at the top, but this time it says underneath it ***Security Warning***
anyone shed any light?
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!
Edit: Wow, glad you fixed the number bro, you just saved me.

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
