Yeah, just unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery. I recommend TWRP since it's more touch orientated (designed better) than ClockworkMod. Then download a ROM and follow instructions.
For those that have flashed Int. ROMs and have TWRP, did you use dumlock or flash the boot.img in fastboot? If anyone has used dumlock, can you write up how you used to get a good flash? I am coming from Sammy, so all of this is very new to me and I am trying to learn as much as I can. Thanks.

So you just flashed in recovery like normal? Nothing else?
This phone is super confusing, keep reading about flashing a boot.img before flashing a ROM or using dumlock. Can not find a straight answer to what I need to do to go from rooted stock to a ROM.

As usual HTC left off some security on the released version of this phone's HBOOT.
The One X on AT&T was like this too when it first came out. We could even flash RADIOS on that thing.
I am pretty sure the discovery that you can flash boot.img from recovery is pretty new.

Yeah that's gonna be an issue, use flash image GUI to flash the kernel before you flash the Rom, meaning...while you're in your current Rom use flash image GUI and find your ics Rom and the app will take out the kernel and flash it. Then you need to go to recovery and flash the ics Rom

Hey guys I rooted this phone almost a year ago and installed a custom rom. I remember the procedure being very different from other phones I have done and very complicated. At the moment I am still "S-on" and running Android Revolution HD 1.1.0 (android 2.3.4)
My goal is to install the newest version of Android Revolution ( looking for a very stable rom, so I'm open to suggestions)
The thread mentions extra steps if you are coming from a non-ics rom.
Also Im considering the Energy rom. (this one does not specify any extra complicated steps)
In the current state that I'm in should I run the all in one s-off tool? do I even need that for these roms? what recovery should I flash? (Im currently on a CW based recovery)
Thanks in advance for all the help.
you should first flash back to stock.... then update to ICS... after that you should once again unlock your bootloader and flash 4ext recovery this time.. but you id really suggest updating to ICS before trying to flash any ICS roms..., specially since your still "S-ON"

To my understanding, flashing back to stock requires the stock recovery and a stock image.
I found the stock image here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Amaze_4G/ROMs#Stock_ROMs
but can somebody help me find a stock recovery?

sir just a question should i use hanzoo all in one kit to flash that kernel? because i dont have that TWRP recovery.
Yes, use the toolkit to flash a kernel.
Always use a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM to make a backup before flashing something - 1 st RULE

Half the issues you guys have, is cause you use toolkits n such to do the simplest of tasks like flash a kernel.

i agree it just over complicates things, just a simple adb\fastboot command and done..
fastboot is a whole lot easier.

Hi guys, new to android, few questions before I flash a ROM.
-Will I need anything else other than the ROM file to flash it?
-If for what ever reason I flash the ROM and something goes wrong how can revert to stock? how do I do this? (I used TWRP when rooting)
-Can I back up the current stock ROM and all my settings/apps?
-I want something with 4.2.2 or higher that's stable, recommendations? (I'm using the AT&T Version).
Thanks!

Make the Nandroid backup of the ROM so incase something goes wrong u can revert back.....
It will restore ur phone to it Current state before u installed the Custom ROM...

Unfortunately there is no ROM higher than 4.2.2 android for AT&T version of HOX+
Thanks!
What's "android-sdk-windows setup" and where do I find it?
Ok is there a rule against making recommendations of stable roms? I want sense 5, AT&T.

You don't necessarily need this, but you definitely need something to flash the boot.img (contains kernel), otherwise your phone won't boot. Because our phones are S-ON we need to flash the boot.img separately via fastboot, since we are not allowed to flash it in recovery.
Alternatively, get you any toolkit from One X+ forum that works for AT&T too in order to flash the boot.img.
In case something goes wrong or you want to go back to stock, you will need the backup on your phone and at least the boot.emmc.win on your computer, you will also have to flash this boot.img backup in fastboot again to get your backup working.
To your question with the rom recommendation, I am using ViperX+ 2.0.2, it has Sense 5, a lot of tweaks, also a custom kernel included, and works stable so far. I haven't tested any other roms but u should definitely check that one out.
A last tip from me: If your phone stucks on the boot loop although u used the right boot.img, open your rom.zip and extract the boot.img from there, that is what took me hours to find out because the one provided by the developers did not work
Hey guys,
Im new to HTC One. I have Tmobile version running on stock sense 6. I wanted to install a custom stock rom without the Tmobile Bloatware.
I know how to unlock the bootloader using HTC Dev method and install recovery to root. But i am a bit confused about S-Off. I have read that S-off will not work with Hboot 1.57.0000
So my questions are
1. Do i really have to S-off to install custom roms on HTC?
2. If not can i install ROMs for the int. version on my phone ?
3. Does the CID ver/number have anything to do with unlocking and rooting?
Thanks in advance.

3. Does the CID ver/number have anything to do with unlocking and rooting? No, flashing firmware and RUU are dependent on CID.

See answers above. Just keep in mind that WiFi calling is not generally supported in the present custom roms. Make a nandroid backup of your system and save to your computer for safe keeping should you need to go back. Stuff happens!!!

Thank you for the reply. I have successfully rooted my stock rom and installed CWM recovery. And i have flashed custom kernel too.
I would now like to flash a 4.4.3 sense custom rom. I have read on some threads that the kernel wont be flashed on S-on devices. So do i have to flash a custom rom always after flashing a custom rom?
And one more thing. I currently have CWM touch recovery. I have seen lot of roms require TWRP. So my question is does the recovery image depend on the HTC variant? I have a Tmobile M7UL

It all depends on the custom rom but most have options to keep the stock kernel or chose a custom kernel in Aroma. It should explain in the OP what they are providing. As far as TWRP vs CWM, the developer will test his rom on the one that works best for him so he/she will recommend the custom recovery that doesn't cause him issues. Yes, there are specific custom recoveries for the different variants because the partition tables are different.
