Hi,
i searched everywhere couldn't find anything about the AT&T verison of HTC One X+ and CM10
Is there a way to root the ATT version and install CM10 on it???
Read only about the international version yet. Don't want to brick my new phone.
Thanks.
Nope, there's still a bit of a wait on CM10/ASOP for AT&T/TELUS users. When a usable version is ready, it'll probably be here with [AT&T/TELUS] in the title.
damm was so hoping to change my devices from s3 to htc thanks mate.
Currently using the cm10.1 for s3 expermintal. i think when nightly last night.
thanks mate

So, the experimital CM10.1 is running on your HTC One X+. I have the same phone and I have unlocked it from HTC's web site. I'm a noob and don't know a lot about this stuff. Still learning. Should I try any mod or wait? I really want to get the AT&T crud off of my phone. Like I said, my phone is unlocked now.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
There are several non experimental roms you can install already just to get rid of the at&t stuff. Also you could root it and use titanium backup or root uninstaller or something to just get rid of unneeded stuff. If it were me, I would not DARE try anything experimental with my new phone, especially something cm10 related because pretty much all the devs have said there is nothing ready yet on that avenue.

OK, I'm new here and I really thank you all for any advise. I will read on and try to find some of these existing ROM's. This is probably a REALLY big noob question. If my phone is unlocked, does that mean it is rooted?
BTW, I also thank you for the advise on not using any experimental roms. I won't touch unless I know for sure. This new phone is a gem and I don't want to screw it up.

No!
Unlock is unlock and root is root
Indeed. You have unlocked the bootloader which is step 1. Now you need to root which is step 2. There is an all in one tool in the android development forum you can use to root. That might be the easiest way to go. Once you are rooted you can get root uninstaller for free from the play store or titanium backup. Titanium is probably better choice there. You could also flash a rom through recovery that is already rooted but most of those require you flash the kernel seperatly so if you are.very new i probably wouldnt do that just yet. Read up on the process first. Hope that helps.

HTC One X+ unlock vs root

Thanks! My problem is this..... I used the HTC step by step from http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/how-to-root-one-x/
I got through the step where the instructions say to Mark - Right Click Copy - Paste into the HTCDev.com website
I then followed the instructions on through until the phone was unlocked.
At step 39 the instructions say to -
Reboot your phone into Fastboot mode and type the following in command prompt:and
type and execute at the cmd prompt -
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img
OK, I finished these steps and am now stuck at step 40.
I then copied the CWN-SuperSU-v.0.87.zip file to the root of my phone storage
The phone won't boot in to recovery at all
What is the CWN-SuperSU-v.0.87.zip file for and do I need to complete the step by rebooting using it in recovery mode? It will not boot in to recovery anyway.
So my phone was wiped and unlocked but back to the original AT&T build and I don't understand where I pick up in the process.
This is the point where I get confused. I research and read everywhere too. I know my phone is unlocked for sure. It's not bricked yet. :fingers-crossed:
I don't know where I pick back up with the process using some of the recommendations you guys have given me.

Hey there, im an tired to death of waiting for this 2.1 update for my phone, and so tried to install a custom ROM last night, I have searched and read so many tutorials on how to Root the phone etc, and install a custom ROM, but i seem to be stuck... im Running 1.5.. First off i am following this tutorial androidforums.com/all-things-root-hero/54802-how-root-install-custom-rom-backup-more.html which seemed to be the most upto date and relevant.
I think i have Rooted my phone using Instant Root
And what im stuck on is running FlashRec.apk It Just refuses to work (backup), so im stuck, i cant get passed this stage
I heave read something about GoldCard? or something, is this another method?
And i have come across more threads about using the SDK on windows somehow...

As far as i'm aware if flashrec doesn't work you need to downgrade, try my guide in my sig for details.
Thats what i thought :/ I don't get it, i haven't installed a single update, and im on 1.5, and i got the phone when it first came out in the UK, so it wouldn't have been updated, unless over the air updates are automatically downloaded and installed without my knowledge or approval?

I am on T-Mobile or 3UK or An Asian Carrier and I can't Root my phone...Help!11!11!!1
As you have found out those phones that have network specific ROMS, namely from the carriers named above will find it difficult or impossible to Root using the methods those with non-branded Hero's have.
The only way to install a custom ROM and or root the phone is the following method. As I have had no experiance with this method I am not going to be able to write out any instrcutions of my own, nor am I going to copy and paste someone else's work and take credit for it. Therefore I am providing you with the following link.

I hadnt installed any updates either but i still had to downgrade, and your tutorial worked pefectly
All newish G2 Touches are loaded with a more recent update (although they're still all 1.5.)
This means if you have a new G2 Touch you'll need to downgrade.
I had the exact same issue as you with the backups failing, after searching the internet and using multiple tabs, i finally gained root access, to make life easier for others I created a guide, give it a try, let me know how you get on

Rooting & sim unlocking are totally unrelated. There's no free means to unlock, so you'll have to buy a code.

I don't know the answer about OTA updates after rooting, but to be honest, I'd be surprised if another OTA update ever happens for the Hero.

Oh ok n also I was readi thru my phone n it shows that what he's doin is instalin a costum rom n wouldn't do erase everythin on my phone?
Yes, installing a custom ROM would erase everything on your phone (although he also instructs you on how to do a nandroid backup of your previous setup). However, if all you want to do is root the phone you can do that without having to do any of the other stuff. Just download, install, and run Universal Androot as instructed in that thread, and you should have root without doing any other changes to the phone or your data.
Unfortunately rooting the T-Mobile G2 Touch isn't as simple as rooting a standard Hero GSM, T-Mobile made it quite difficult. I would suggest following this thread or using this tool
And if you don't install a custom rom or a rooted stock rom, your recovery will be overwritten, and you'll lose root on the first reboot.
The unrooted stock rom overwrites the recovery when rebooted.
Correct me if I'm wrong

Good point, I think you right in which case you will need to install a rooted stock ROM at the very least, which would mean wiping all your data
Sorry, I didn't know the G2 required a different rooting method.
Anyways, on my standard unlocked Hero I did not loose root when rebooting on the stock ROM, although as you said it did overwrite my recovery. I do not know if this is the case on the G2.

T-Mobile did some pretty nasty stuff security-wise compared to the standard GSM Hero so rooting is a bit different. As for what happens on reboot I can't comment, but I would recommend using a custom ROM anyway, something like [email protected]'s MCR is great for someone who just wants it working like stock but with better performance. You should be able to add something like FlyKernel to it for the overclock.

sucessful tmobile G2 temp root using VISIONary r14 this morning!
I tried ROOT on my new tmobile G2 (GSM) I bought last week. I tried Universal Androot AND z4root and neither worked to get even temp root.
This morning, I used VISIONary r14 and sucessfully gained su root and disabled a few of the branding and blotware apps on MY phone! I still haven't been able to uninstall them completely, but at least they aren't starting automatically on boot. Here's the link that worked:
android.modaco.com/content/software/320350/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/
these branded apps are WAY annoying! I'm not good with outfits like facebook and twitter having access to all my personal info and data, including fine GPS location!! and I can hardly believe tmobile imbedded these apps as they did. I'm still within my 14-day trial and may still return the phone because of this unless I can be sure I can get these apps OFF my back!
Just a quick question why are there two dev sections for this device? what is the difference? is one for the older gb and froyo roms and the new for ICS and soon to be jellybean? I am looking into how to root this for a friend. I have a samsung gs2 with an unlocked bootloader I have never rooted a phone with a locked bootloader. So how do you guys go about this? For my phone I have a pc program called odin that does low level flashing so all I do is use it to install cloclworkmod or twrp and then flash su and install the.apk and busybox. Is there sometihng similar for this phone or does everything have to be done by ADB? If someone explains which dev section I should go to I will figure it out myself but the more info yoy guys can give me the better. I do still have to find out what software my friend has. I also want her to do this by herself so I want to be able to explain it to her. Thanks in advance.

The Android Development and Original Android Development forums are organized pretty much as they sound: Original Development will have threads for programs, mods, roms, kernels, etc. that are the original work of the developer. Android Development has threads for those that are built off of someone else's existing work (e.g. A rom that is a collection of tweaks pulled from other roms). I agree with the previous poster on using regawMOD, it is the simplest way to unlock the bootloader, flash a recovery and gain root access all at once. That being said, if your friend is on 1.22.651.3, there is an additional step to manually move the root package to the sd card. Read page 80-84 on the dev's thread for more info.

Just use the evo lte toolbox and do htcdev unlock. It's a little more complicating then odin l,Odin is more like using an RUU and turning it into a kitchen to flash modified roms

but regAWMOD method isnt working at all , never goes beyond first step.
OR
i can live with just rooting and completely debloating the stock romn as much as possible.
Plz consider me a total noob as i am by and large from samsung ;P so fastboot , bootloaders and stuff is uknown to me
so now i want to either debloat the stock rom or root it with some simple method and may be unlock the bootloader as well, on my own tried the search button but stuff seemed pretty confusing to me as this is my First HTC
any help would be appreciated.

Thanks mate
got it unlocked by downloading the sdk anew
i feel the three files needed in unlocking are either outdated or somehow corrupt thats why the process was failing initially when i was using files from regaws application.
so now i am unlocked
what next kind sir !!!

5.Is the hardware opensourced?
6.Where can I find kernel sources?
7.Whats the procedure for setting up OTA updates?

1.unlock your bootloader, flash su in recovery...
2. HTC said that phones with 512MB of ram won't get it. That means we'll probably get it...
3. 6-7
4. Ramdisk something...
6. htcdev.com
8. Pretty alive, I'd say...
9. Yup...
10. I didn't answer all of your questions, I answered all I knew...

That's great! I'm a dev, well, ROM builder myself too, and I know about that stuff. So if you need any help, I'm here
But I thought the CM problems were because of a non-functioning device tree. Lloir has made one, but every ROM compiled from that doesn't boot.

I'm already working on cm9, but i'm busy so it will be long time for me. But i will share my sources at next week, so others can help too.

What is this bootloader thing? Should I unlock it?

If you want to root, install a custom rom, custom kernel, custom recovery... yes, you need it unlocked!
It's very simple. Just follow the orders in htcdev.com website and unlock it using nloooo's topic or the "All in one kit".

Sup you are the second samsung guy i know/saw here.(dont bother about the sig is cause I like my warranty).
now big changes from samsung.
Security:
to install custom roms and/or recovery you need an unlocked bootloader(so nice of them).
to install a custom kernel via the same zip as the rom(like we do in samsung) is not possible as they have a security flag that doesnt allow this(its something called S-ON).
also if your device is locked to a network/region the device cannot flash any other regions rom(a little thing called CID).:good:
the stock rom/maybe any other roms /system partition is not writable(there is a module to break this).:good:
More info :
about CID and S-ON the solutions for them are rightly called SUPERCID and S-OFF.:silly:
supercid change the cid value to some constants list like 1111111 or 222222 or 333333(thus making you truly unlocked and able to flash any regions rom).:victory:
S-OFF switches off the s-on security flag and thus allows for the kernel(boot)(and maybe more) partition to be overwritten(i.e r/w).:victory:
there is a method of S-OFF called facepalm that may/should work for all mordern HTC devices(yes that includes desire x:good but needs to be ported (or someone preferably a developer should offer to be a guinea pig for jcase or beansup like jmztaylor was for htc one vx).
for facepalm to work supercid is needed(how to get it same as above i.e needs to be ported or someone preferably a developer should offer to be a guinea pig for jcase or beansup like jmztaylor was for htc one vx):good:
so you are all caught up with the htc awesome(and some ass) ness let the building begin :highfive:

yes in HTC u get it like this.
Bootloader ----(always stays there...... very tough to mess it up)
Recovery -----(Has a separate partition on HTC unlike samsung/sony, where it is part of the kernel)
OS -----(System/data/cache etc etc)
Bootloader/Fastboot lets you flash things(images) onto RECOVERY/SYSTEM/BOOT/DATA partitions.
Dont confuse bootloader with boot.img.
Boot.img is the image which gets flashed onto the boot partition. boot.img contains the kernel and ramdisk.
Recovery.img also contains the kernel and its own ramdisk, so in either case, if u cant boot ur rom, u can always boot to recovery.
Thats it.

also please review my previous post in this thread and can you see if I made any mistakes or what ?

your post is correct. But he is interesting in porting cm9/10 and S-ON or S-OFF doesnt matter for that. In either case, there is a way to flash custom rom/kernel etc.... so what we need right now is a device/vendor tree for it.

Wow wow!! HTC is super cautious unlike samsung who let us do anything on phone.
I will study more about all this and get my phone unlocked by some friend.
The only thing that worries me is its dev support. People are dead here.. :silly:
R: [Q] [NOOB]Need some info on this phone.

Only some people have HTC Desire X but there are some great people here like ckpv5, MaartenXDA, The Android Manual then nexusPrime and atis112 who made 2 kernels.

How many modes are there for this phone? Example my galaxy had a download(odin) mode and a recovery mode..

Download Mode on Samsung is pretty similar to our bootloader/fastboot because they have similar functions like USB connection to flash recovery or kernels.

Nice info. I was looking for this. I red anywhere that after unlocking bootloader and installing fastboot/recovery, user should lock bootloader again. Is this correct? Why it is important?

No. And you don't install fastboot on your phone. It's there already.
