Hi I introduce myself, my name is Marcelo and one month ago I bought a HTC ONE X+ from AT&t. I'm more or less custom roms install beginner as I have a google nexus s for 3 years and I install many different roms to this phone.
Now I see the htc is not as easy putting on roms so I want to ask some questions before turning it into a brick. I recall that my phone is ATT.
1) If I follow step by step instructions HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit V2.3 for rooting my phone, I can do something wrong or can go wrong?
2) What happens if the phone stops responding for any reason as it has no reset button
3) I unlock my phone from the site cellunlocker by imei, if I install an official update or a custom rom can it re-lock?
4) After installing the recovery if I install a ROM for the international version I can disable my phone?
5) That recovery is better? TWRP or CWM?
6) I read that the version of ATT, the recoveries can not charge the battery with the phone off, what happens if the battery is over before it can be loaded?
7) After running twice BENCHMARK AnTuTu battery temperature arrived to 131 degrees Fahrenheit, is dangerous and can cause problems for the battery?
8) Is there any survey which is the best rom for HTC ATT ONE X
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and help learners to improve their phones!
PS: excuse my English, thanks google translator!

3) yes
4) it wont break it but it wont boot either

6) this has been fixed in both AT&T and International builds
7) Benchmarks are crap and i highly doubt your device got that hot

I am right now using the aura rom, which is magnificent! either that one or Darkside rom (based of aura with a few more features) I would first try aura, there are three versions, do you like the stuff motorola includes on your phone?
the darkside rom is similar but has all the moto stuff built into it plus some nice tweaks. Both allow fingerprint sensor whereas CM7 has features missing. If you are looking for stock android ( not stock motorola) minus figerprint scanner then CM7 is better for you.
I personally like the moto stuff, so I chose Aura, only because darkside had some issues with 2.2, but he just upgraded to 2.5 so I am going to try that tonight! I will definitely repost my thoughts.
Don't forget to backup (titanium backup) and when you are installing a custom always pull a wipe from recovery, and a wipe of dalvik cache (in romracer recovery, its under advanced), and make sure your battery levels are 100% or you will have to wipe your battery settings from rom and cycle your battery .
Hope this helps!

atrix bootloader unlock
Hi i'm new and the worst noob ever concerning phones but i have a question: so if i get it right unlocking the boot loader will allow you to be able to use any phone carrier on the Atrix ?
Ps: i hope it's the right place to ask that question.....

You're mixing up two different concepts.
Unlocking the bootloader will allow you to install any compatible ROM such as CM7. If you go down this rabbit hole, make sure you read everything about it 3 times over so you avoid bricking your device permanently.
Unlocking the SIM card will allow you to use your phone on any compatible carrier (GSM network) such as T-Mobile, but you will not get 3G/4G data speeds and it will not work on CDMA networks used by Verizon/Sprint.

s-off is not yet possible I think.
You can unlock your bootloader and root your HOX+ with HTCDev.
Before you do anything you need to read and understand first what needs to be done. S-Off is not possible now.
Before you do anything, make sure the phone is fully charged.
First you have to unlock the bootloader via www.HTCDev.com Be aware that the internal SD Card is wiped, so backup any music/photos/files you want to keep.
Then you need to install one of the recoveries available for the X+ and make a backup of your stock ROM (the one your X+ is shipped with).
Then you can either just root your stock ROM, or install a Custom ROM which normally are rooted. Custom ROMs are ATM only for the intl. One X+ available. The AT&T version of the One X+ will get them soon!
Because of the S-Off issue it is necessary that the boot.img of the ROM you want to install has to be flashed seperately in fastboot mode.
You access the hboot/fastboot screen by power off your phone, then after a short while press Vol (-) and Power button together and hold them until you see the white screen with the hboot/fastboot screen.
Please start reading here which explains how to unlock your X+. That tutorial is for the HTC One X but basically the same.
Please be aware that you need for the One X+ this recovery or this which are both installed via Fastboot.
After you made sure to do a backup, you can install a custom ROM via the recovery.

Have to second this part.
All I needed at this point was free tethering on ATT.
After using hasoon2000's tool, I was able to follow the instructions in the Q&A area for how bypass ATT for tethering.
It just puts the stock ROM back in, which is a good ROM.
Won't bother to flash it until folks come up with stable ROMS's that have extra tweaks I want

I'm stepping flash custom recovery thanks to you.
bwt, I heard that boot.img can't be flashed in s-on status. is it right?
(I saw the message "S-ON devices can't flash boot.img in recovery, so you need to flash it manually")
How do i flash it 'MANUALLY'?

Hey guys,
Just wanted to say that I was successful in rooting my htc one for tmobile and installing a custom recovery. I used the tool found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
Just wanted to spread the news in case you were wondering if it was possible.
I hope there is a way to do it without unlocking the bootloader. I just want root.

Yeah thats what I did. I also followed the tutorial in the android development forum.
Edit: I'm gonna go for the M7 version because it says M7 in the bootloader. Wish me luck!
Yeah I'm wondering that too, do we use the M7 version or the ATT one? I'm assuming the M7 because the Tmo version is no different than the international version.
I used the m7 version last night. Worked great. Note sitting on the stock firmware with cwm touch and root. Needed to get rid of all the junk apps

Just want root access, not the custom recovery/ROMs
I'd like to have root access to my HTC One, so that I can use Titanium Backup. That's really the only reason I rooted my Tmobile Samsung Vibrant (for that, I used SuperOneClick).
I found this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
How do I use this program to maintain the stock recovery and just grant root access?
Is it possible to do the following?:
1- follow the prerequisites in the "To root the phone. Follow in order" and click Go.
2- Skip "Next, flash a recovery."
3- Flash Kernal
4- Run "Perm Root"
Will that work? If not, what do I need to do to get what I want?
I'm not interested in custom ROMs and I don't want to worry about screwing something up. I use wifi calling, and it's important that I have it.
Hey,
I need some help, I want to unlock my AT&T HTC One. I already have the unlock code with me.
But Right now I am on a custom ROM, GPE 4.3. I was inquisitive of two things:
1. If I can unlock my phone from the network while being on Custom ROM?
2. Can I unlock it using an international SIM, which is not working since the roaming is disabled.
To add to the first point, if I can how do I do it? And If I cannot think, I know the method to come to stock. But then again, after I come back to stock, how do I unlock the boot loader again and root the device?
Any help will be highly appreciated. Please let me know as soon as possible, I need to travel soon
I had problems SIM unlocking my AT&T HTC One with GPE conversion as well. It wouldn't unlock at all.
I simply just flashed ViperOne rom and tried the unlock it and it worked. I think you can only unlock with a sense rom but I am no developer so I wouldn't know for sure.
All you have to do is put the other SIM card with the sense rom and the option to unlock with an unlock code should come up and work.

How to root (with links) is explained on my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
Also, much of the "HTC specific" lingo is explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52484527
I would suggest reading up (and making sure you understand all the terms and processes) for at least a couple hours before trying anything on the phone. I do this every time I buy a new device, even having own quite a few HTC phones. In fact, I usually start reading and researching before I have the phone in hand.

also is there a way were i can go back to stock when i need to thanks

If your talking about ROM, then take a full backup of your ROM before flashing custom ROM using titanium/nandroid etc.
Or if your talking about root,
Just unroot using unroot apps from play store or the respected app you get after rooting.

As the above reply stated, it depends on what you are talking about.
If you just want the stock ROM, recovery, etc. one option is to relock the bootloader and just run the RUU. It will return you to stock software. The only thing not "stock" will be the bootloader will say RELOCKED instead of LOCKED. You need s-off to make it say LOCKED again (after unlocking it).

so this is what i want to do i want to unlock bootloader then root which i know how to do but i was woundering would i be able to install this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/rom-sd-4-0-sense7-port-sdkernel-t3062367

You should be good to go, then. Just unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery and flash the Skydragon ROM you linked.

You can return to stock with a RELOCKED bootloader with s-on.
You do need s-off if you want to make the bootloader say LOCKED as it was from the factory. But the only reason to ever do this is for warranty purposes. And if you bought the phone from AT&T, you should note that your warranty is through AT&T, not HTC. And AT&T doesn't give a crap if the bootloader is unlocked, or whatever (folks have even successfully sent in phones for warranty with custom ROMs on them).
If you are seeing warranty service through HTC (you didn't purchase from AT&T) that is another story. But that is the only reason I'd bother going back to LOCKED.
In normal usage, I recommend leaving the bootloader UNLOCKED as it give you more flexibility to flash ROMs whenever you want, etc. The only reason IMO to relock the bootloader in normal usage is to run the RUU.
S-off is nice have if you want to flash radios, modified hboots, and some other things (you also don't need to relock to RUU with s-off). It certainly doesn't hurt, and some folks like to make the phone as customizable as possible right away. In fact, I did s-off to the phone the second day I had it (although s-off was free back then). But for you, its not strictly "needed" at this time unless you want to do the things mentioned.
so heres the thing again sorry for the manny questions i am just making sure if i do this everything will work so heres the thing the rom i linked if i were to flash it will my at&t sevice work since it would be a different baseband

The baseband isn't determined by the ROM, its determined by flashing a different baseband/radio (which requires s-off).
There are some folks that have had issues on AT&T's LTE network using some custom ROMs. Namely, not receiving or sending voice calls while on LTE. But this seems somewhat random, and not the ROMs fault per se; but probably changes that AT&T is making to their network. The most you can do is flash the Skydragon ROM, and if you have problems, try another ROM or revert to stock.
Make a backup of your stock ROM with TWRP before you flash anything, to be sure you have something to revert to if you have problems. This is good general advice before you flash any custom ROMs, root mods, etc.
I'm using the ROM your linked (Skydragon Sense 7) on AT&T, and it works fine for me.
