Got the phone about a week ago, I rooted it using the 1 click method here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787304
I got a message saying I should update to 3.29.651. Well I couldn't so I used this method on this site
http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/09/how-to-install-new-update-3296515-on-your-rooted-htc-evo-4g.html
1. Download the OTA update.
2. Put the downloaded .zip on your microSD card.
3. Boot into recovery mode by using Quick Boot (my preferred method) or by turning off the EVO, powering it back on while holding the volume down button, and selecting the "recovery" option from the list.
4. Select "install zip from sdcard" -> "choose zip from sdcard" and select the file from wherever you put it in step #2.
5. Wait for the installation to complete, rebooting manually if necessary.
6. Use unrevoked 3.21 to re-root your phone.
Now I am no longer rooted, so I want to reroot..
Question.. Can I use the same method I used just a few days a go? In the first link I posted?? THANKS!!
BUMPAROO!!! Just need to know if I can use the root that I posted...
Please..
THANKS!

Hi! Thanks for this guide.
In the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093112 I asked about this same process, and was not sure if I first needed to install the US 3.0.1 ROM after unlocking the device. In one of the replies I was told I should, but in your guide you don't have that listed.
Do I need to flash the US 3.0.1 rom first, or not?

Was your xoom on a USA based 3.0.1, or an international 3.0.1?
Im on an SG Wifi Xoom also. Actually, I followed the instructions from BigRushDog's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074609.
I was rooted and on Tiamat 1.4 before I tried doing the update. It went flawless. Just follow the 3 steps in that thread. In essence, your xoom will have the US firmware and you will have access to books.
The extra steps highlighted by OP may be a safer bet though. Im not sure.

I m on international 3.0.1 i think since my xoom is a sg set

Anybody followed this guide on a UK WiFi? At the moment I am unlocked, but not rooted. This guide implies that you can update using CWM without root, which sounds logical, though it has been stated elsewhere that you need root :/

i am uk wifi and would apreciate any advice too.
OK you don't need root to install CWM, and if you get the latest 3.2.0.0 it works on the external SD card out of the box (for installation of CWM follow the instructions above). Download the lastest CWM image here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979
I followed the guide below to the letter (even step 1) to get my UK stock 3.0.1 to rooted US 3.1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075260#
I did have to wipe (as I was in a bootloop), and I copied the MZ604_3.1_ROOT_update.zip file directly to the SDcard via my PC (rather than pushing or mounting the card in CWM), but apart from that it all went OK
Bonus! All my apps were restored this time (as I had to do a factory reset a few days ago d/t a 3.0.1 issue)
...also my internal SD was untouched
Edit: Only thing missing was my AutoSport app which will not let me download, so will have to sideload.

If you're getting boot loops you probably need to wipe. Did you wipe as per the instructions...?

This doesn't work when you have not set the USB debugging options under "Settings" > "Applications" > "Development". FYI. It got me when I followed your guide.
It will say device not found.

Thank you for bringing this up ... forget to mention this
Helly i find that's we can have Android 4.1 on we One X, but WIFI, Camera, and AUDIO don't work...
1. wipe all your apps, data and. Unlock the bootloader on your HTC One X
2. Install ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery
3. Download and install HTC Sync software on your computer
4. Download the ROM from the official download page.
5. Copy the downloaded zip file (don’t extract it) to the SD card.
6. Also download the Flash_Boot.zip file from → here. This is required to flash the necessary kernel on the phone.
7. Extract the Flash_Boot.zip file to a convenient location on the computer.
8. Open the “jellybean_endeavoru_tgascoigne.zip” file (downloaded in step 5) on the computer and extract the boot.img file from inside it. Then, copy the boot.img file to the folder where you extracted the Flash_Boot.img file in step 8.
9. Switch off the phone. Boot into the bootloader mode first by holding the Volume Down button while powering on the phone. Then, select FASTBOOT from there using the volume buttons to navigate and power button to select to enter fastboot mode. Then connect your phone to the computer.
10. Go to the folder where you extracted the .zip file in step 8. Double-click the flash-boot-windows.bat file to flash the required kernel.
11. After the kernel is flashed, the window that showed up will automatically close. It might also say OKAY/finished and stay open, which is normal.
12. Now, press the power button on the phone to select BOOTLOADER, then navigate to the RECOVERY option and select it using the power button to boot into ClockworkMod recovery.
13. Perform a wipe:
1. Select wipe data/factory reset, then select Yes on the next screen to confirm data wipe. This will only delete your installed apps and settings, but will leave all other files and data on the SD card intact, so don’t worry.
2. Select mounts and storage, then select format system (you might have to select Yes on next screen to confirm). After format is complete, go back to the main recovery menu.
14. Then, select install zip from sdcard, then select choose zip from sdcard. Scroll to thejellybean_endeavoru_tgascoigne.zip file on the SD card and select it. Confirm installation by selecting Yes on the next screen.
15. After installation is complete, select go back then select reboot system now to reboot the phone and boot up into Android 4.1 aka Jelly Bean.
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is now up and running on your HTC One X,
There are allready ROM's in the dev section for Jellybean, which are much easier to flash and will be updated. But thanks! maybe someone else will join development too
Yea we have that already in the dev section covered.
Closed.
I didn't backup my original rom to restore factory settings.
This is what I did to restore the factory rom. My phone has root access.
I used the move upgrade 1.5
(The 1.9.9 one touch update from alcatel doesn't work for the Move)
Go to the download tab.
Download the Move upgrade 1.5 software
Connected the phone by usb cable but don't mount.
Start the program from your computer.
Select language and Move
Hit "ok"
Press start in the Move 1.5 software
Follow the steps on the phone.
After the download the phone turns off.
Turn it on and let the software be installed.
After 15 - 20 sec you see for the first time the T-mobile logo.
Wait till the android start screen shows and your phone is restored
with T-mobile factory setup.

LAYMAN'S GUIDE TO INSTALLING CM11 KITKAT FIRMWARE ON THE OUYA
Download the zip file in this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYwZ_l31-G8 youtube video description,follow this guide or follow my directions taken from his guide and made slightly different,all thanks go to the original creator without him i could not write this, i have done as i and others wished to know how to install cynogenmod CM11 firmware kitkat software on their ouya console.
STEP 1. This i cannot really guide you on in depth,you must have already installed clockworkmod recovery 6.0.3.2 if you do not have it you cannot do this firmware flash,you can download and use a tool called ouya oneclickrecovery.zip you extract it on your pc and run the .bat file in the folder for windows you extracted if on xp like me,but you must have fastboot and also adb drivers installed and once you make sure the ouya has clockworkmod recovery on it and you go into recovery and made a valid backup made in clockworkmod recovery,i suggest you go into the root of
your ouya (the main storage where sdcard and other folders reside)
and copy the clockworkmod folder with the backup in to an external drive,my guess here is you could copy the backup folder to restore from if you go back to ouya later.
STEP 2.Copy cm-11-20140510-UNOFFICIAL-ouya.zip, gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip, ouyabootmenu-mlq-v2.0.4.zip, OuyaCWMrecovery6.0.3.2.img, recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-ouya.zip, if you watch the video you can follow that guide but i will not be installing ouya-keylayouts.zip so i'm skipping that. Just copy all those files to your ouya sdcard not an external sd card the ouyas internal sdcard,you must have these to do the firmware flash.
STEP 3.Now once clockwork is on and you are backed up reboot into recovery i just use rom manager app and choose reboot recovery option for this task it's easier,you will need to download that.Once in recovery you can go to step 4.
STEP 4.in recovery mode (clockworkmod recovery 6.0.3.2 ) choose install from zip option then installzip from sdcard and go to download find clockworkmod 6.0.4.7.zip file and select it scroll down to yes and click it when it says completed successfully go to reboot and click on no if asked after clicking reboot,you now are back to the ouya main screen go to rom manager app again choose reboot into recovery option,you should now be in the newer blue tone clockworkmod recovery menu version 6.0.4.7
STEP 5.choose wipe factory data reset then go back by scrolling down and selecting go back
STEP 6.Now select wipe cache and wipe the cache then go down to go back and click that,your back to the main recovery menu again
STEP 7.Now go to advanced and choose wipe dalvik cache and wipe it and go down to go back and choose that to land at the main recovery menu again
STEP 8.Click install from zip and choose install from sdcard then choose download folder then choose ouyabootmenu-mlq-v2.0.4.zip and install it then choose go back
STEP 9.Click install from zip and choose install from sdcard then choose download folder then choose cm-11-20140510-UNOFFICIAL-ouya.zip and install it then choose go back
STEP 10.Click install from zip and choose install from sdcard then choose download folder then gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip and install it then choose go back
STEP 11.Now choose reboot system and say nop to the following question,the system will now reboot and a menu appears,this is bootmenu do not touch anything.You will now boot into Cynogenmod C11 kikat firmware
STEP 12.Follow the setup procedure you need wifi for this i believe but don't quote me?
Job Done PHEW!
UPDATE: If you already have rooted and installed clockworkmod recovery then simply download the file linked at the top and extract it,then start at STEP 2.
A COULE OF ADDED NOTES: I had setup xbmc with addons prior to the cm11 installation and i moved it to an external drive upon returning from cm11 to stock ouya firmware i found: If you simply install the xbmc apk you used before because you moved the app all the attributing files are kept to the external drive and upon reinstallation the files are put back and therefore no reinstalling addons or downloading them is necissary.
ALSO NOTED: I found backing up the previous system before before CM11 installation does not allow you to restore from it,i think it's because android secure gets wiped or something?
ALSO NOTED IS: CM11 is not perfect but it is damn good to say the least,some bugs are browser closes at sudden intervals but does reopen to the last page still logged in?
Also if vpn unlimited is activated it reopens wifi as primary connection,this then disables the client working with ethernet plugged in until i disable wifi,also when vpn unlimited is automaticaly re-enabling the wifi the settings menu becomes inaccessible.
MORE IMPORTANTLY: To prevent the visual bugs or 99% of them turn on Disable HW overlays in developer options,enable developer options by going to settings/about tablet/hang over build number and click multiple times until developer options enabled message comes up.
Updated 20/10/2017
The youtube video no longer exists I realize this due to recently getting a new ouya yesterday it arrived, I already bricked then unbricked it and then modded it a couple of times before trying with my guide here which I had forgotten existed to be honest, in t but using this new package aposed to the package from the youtube linked above I got it going well again just swap the files in the guide to the ones in the below webpage, just hit the big red download button on the page to download.
https://www.s-config.com/cyanogen-mod-and-the-ouya/
Also you can also use this link to simply root the ouya to on it's own it's a .apk file an android application that you execute clicking on it from the download folder, for access to download folder use a ouya file manager like filepwn I believe it is , package of the kingo root app is here: https://mega.nz/#!Zcxw0Q7a!Vc-Fw7eOhekU98-phgSdHjj_vNyztV2EdOIvWoY26Qk
This lot is becoming hard to acquire now so get them and hold them for a rainy day is my advice here.
Good guide. It should help a lot of people get the most out if their OUYA.

Nice guide, but it seems that the first step if one of the most important, could you be a little more specific? Thanks for this guide I was like crazy searching for something like this
