ban me now.
i know i know, any hi! i'm new thread deserves beatings, and whilst i'm fully aware i'm tempting the wrath of you all by doing this....... but i don't know where else to look.
i got a htc hero 24hrs ago on orange (uk). upgrade from a sony k850i so i have never had a smartphone before. i have no idea what i'm doing with it.
i've looked but not found a RTFM page yet, or i am that retarded that i can't even find it. what i can find contradicts what i've previously read so i though i'd ask you lot....
anyway - grovelling apologies aside:
1) rooting - is there one simple way to do this, so far i have found 4 processes and don't know which ones to trust.
2) ROM's - finally found out how to get software for the phone-(shouldn't there have been a disk with the phone?) and have installed active sync. i have just downloaded:
RUU_Herrange_UK_2.73.61.5_release_signed_NoDriver
is that the best/most recent ROM? if not, what is?
i guess i dont know enough about the phone to know the differences and therefore where to start. does rooting your phone allow you to get access to other apps like cydia and icy for the iphone do for example? whats the point, apart from to enable read/write access on the SD card (whats the biggest SD Card a Hero will take by the way?)
3) radios? what difference does it make if i'm listening to queen or queens of the stone age lol. seriously, whats the score here and where do i look for noob info?
help me. people with iphones are telling me i did a bad thing getting a hero. make me wise in the ways of the droid.
please and thank you.
Hi mate,
I am no expert as I have only had my Hero a week and have come from winmo. But I have rooted my phone and installed a rom and it was dead easy.
1. Follow this video - http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-root-your-htc-hero-in-one-click/ where he says to unzip or extract the cm-hero-recovery.img file all he means is find it on your pc and just copy that file to the SDCard.
I would also recommend doing a backup after rooting your phone from that video. To do this turn ur phone off, then hold the home and power button together and that will get you into the recovery area, then just select the nandroid backup option.
2. I have used the Modaco rom and have had no problems at all with it, not sure if its better than the orange one though sorry.
3. When people talk about the radio file for the Hero they are talking about a file that enables the phone to recieve the mobile phone signal, it also enables the phone to recieve a wi fi signal etc. I even think it does GPS, basically these can be tweaked to get better reception, thus you can update them. I really hope that made sense lol and hope you get what i mean.
4. Oh and if you want to put a new ROM on ur phone then follow this video - http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-your-htc-hero/
If not just pm me lol.
brilliant - thank you.
is there a list of available ROM's for the hero anywhere and a list of what they do? ie benefits rather than a bunch of files names that have tweeked - they make no sence to me.
i dont know how you'd weigh one ROM up against another, to me it's like comparing chinese and japanese when you speak neither !
also is there an alternative marketplace, i know apple iphone has icy and cydia. i dont want warez just wondering if there's an alt. community as apple have out there (i'm thinking you guys are 'it' lol)
Don't think there is a list of ROM's as tbh the only good one around is the Modaco one. There is an Orange one out but I think people still rate the Modaco one as better, but I could be wrong in that. If you go for the Modaco one though you won't regret it.
As far as I know there is no other marketplace.
If you get into any problems in rooting and putting a ROM on ur Hero just pm me.
Hey Guys,
I recently got a HTC HD2 as a gift from a friend. I am loving this phone - such a huge screen (I used iPhone 4 recently and it seemed so small then), amazing touch sense and overall experience.
I have been browsing the XDA forums for quite some time. I have few issues/queries that I want to get cleared up:
1. My HTC is locked to T-mobile, USA and I am in Canada. I have been unsuccessful in getting it unlocked. I contacted couple of shops who claimed to unlock it through the code but cudn't get the code. Anybody has any idea why is it hard to get HTC HD2 unlock code? I read somewhere that my IMEI number belongs to the new T-mobile series. Cud that be a problem? What do you guys suggest on getting my phone unlocked? One of the shops told me that they might have to flash the ROM but I don't know what that means....which brings to us to my next question...
2. What does "Flashing the ROM" means? It is about rewiring the ROM? I heard there are custom ROMs. What are custom ROMs? I need to figure out this ROM stuff. I know what is a ROM....I just want to know how this thing and different jargons work wrt Mobile phones.
3. Is there is any benefit of running Andriod (Froyo) on my mobile? I would love to have Andriod since WinMo has forced me to reset the phone more than I have resetted my previous smartphones per year. But, I think Andriod is still in development mode. What are your views on this issue?
I am going to browse the forums more and try to be active here. I hope these queries are a good point to start here.
Thanks in advance.

think of the windows cd rom, , you put it into a blank computer, and it installs itself, , well a rom is kinda like that. A big file that, when you hard reset (or immediately after a flash) installs itself, complete with all included software, onto your phone. If you flash a new rom, its like using a different windows cd. 'chefs' can 'cook' roms, , get rid of operator added rubbish, add tweaks and programs, etc etc.

read, then read more, then read again. Read the stuff youdont understand too, be a knowledge sponge, soak it alllll up. Everything (and i do mean everything) that you want to ask has alerady been asked, and usually answered, if you trawl through enough threads.
Hello everyone, I'd just like to start by saying that I apologize if this thread has already been answered, but I just searched for it and I need some definitive answers that I haven't been able to find. Also this is my first forum post, so please bear with me if something has been answered in another thread for this phone.
I just got an HTC One X+ through AT&T and I really like it. THE ISSUE IS: The phone has a supremely fast processor, mine scoring 7697 in the standard Quadrant benchmark, but, in GPU intensive games from the Play Store, I am experiencing severe lag, especially in need for speed most wanted. I have read that the original One X had issues with not all of the processor cores being utilized and fluctuating CPU clock speeds, and that it can be fixed using one of the methods from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664391
I was wondering:
1) Is it possible for me to carry out any of the methods in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664391) on an HTC One X+? By that I mean can I root a One X+ on AT&T?
2) If so, how would I go about rooting the device? (please be detailed this is my first android product)
3) Would I need an overclockable kernel? How would I get this?
4) Will I lose all of my contacts?
5) Would there be an easier way to fix my problem? I know it isn't my device in particular, I have read of other cases of this lag.
Thanks for the consideration, hopefully if I can get this resolved this post will be able to help other noobs (yes I know, the video said not to be one) who are trying to learn about their One X+ devices.
Any advice is welcomed! :laugh:

So the first thing to do would be to unlock boot loader and gain root, there should be many guides in the development section that will cover this in more detail. Install ARHD or similar to improve speed and gain access to governors. The og one x mods and such should work with our phone because of the identical hardware. The last thing we need is overclock and such kernels don`t exist yet anyway, the tweak that helped the most with the og one x was probably gpu overclock which our phone has stock. I would recomend backing up contacts and such in HTC sync first though. Try the renovate gaming boost app, works like a charm.
The root method you linked is not for the one x+.
The One x+ is not an overclocked version of the One x, it is a whole new phone.
Use this thread to unlock the bootloader and root when the time is right,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994961
you will lose everything on your phone. Between HTC sync, and Google sync you should be able to recover everything important. You will still have to redownload your apps, and make all the little tweaks.
Currently there are no custom ROM's for the ATT versions.
Dunno if the any of the CPU controller apps will work or help you though. I would not use any kernel until the there is one in the One x+ development thread that is conformed to work with ATT phones.
Currently the devs are not being good about stating clearly whether something is international or ATT, so read the threads carefully.
It wasn't too hard to root my AT&T One X+, it only took me around 30 minutes.
The all-in-one toolkit made it really easy.
I was having issues with ADB, so I had to copy the SuperSU.zip over to the phone via Dropbox, but it wasn't too hard.
However, I tried to overclock the CPU a bit to get rid of some UI lag, but it didn't allow me, most likely because the phone is on the original kernel.

I do not own an AT&T One X+ but thinking about upgrading to it from my HTC One XL. Apparently the One X+ comes with a battery saver mode and I know I've read somewhere (sorry, I forgot where exactly ) that unless disabled, it will cause lag in some instances since the CPU won't utilize its maximum values. The One X+ just hit the scene here in the US and a few developers have popped up for the ocassion to aid the AT&T variant of the device and thanks to this amazing community that is XDA, people have collected enough money to buy 2 AT&T phones to 2 developers: Lloir and Hasoon2000. As Joshua previously posted, there are no current ROMs that are solely for AT&T but that will change in the future. Bootloader unlocking and rooting your One X+ seems relatively simple. If I were to get the phone, the first thing I'd do is unlocking its bootloader since AT&T may make it unlockable via HTCDev upon future updates (OTA or newer phone revisions). Go with what sarcasticphoneix was posting about using the One-Click tool If anything happens, we're here to help. Just remember to read carefully about some tweaks/mods compatibility with your phone. It's a standard procedure not just for the One X+ but for every phone out. Research is a must. Hope everything works out and good luck.
Nothing changed since this thread opened, got a new question just jump to page 2
I am well aware that till now unless you have a developer phone with CID 11111111 you can't gain SuperCID which will make you able to S-Off your device (For those who are not aware what is S-Off , Its making the security on your bootloader "off" hence enabling you to flash your roms without the need to fastboot flash your boot.img)
But on a developer side, what do the devs need for the "Great Dream" of S-Off to be achieved for all of us?
Files, source codes , exploits. What exactly?
I am aware that this topic has seen the light of day more than once, but every time this topic is opened, no more than a week later its "dead". Why is it THAT impossible to figure out?
I am vaguely aware that it has something to do with the "Tegra 3" chip, but why? If it has something to do with the "Source Code" is there a class talking about security that the devs just removes from the equation then flashes it instead?
I am quite interested in this topic and I tried to look around, but I don't really know the process of what is actually going on under the hood. So Any general help/discussion is welcomed (and encouraged) . If anyone with any "IDEA" about how its done wanna join in (even if he isn't quite sure) or if a DEV from another device did it and can help please do. It's basically a GENERAL discusison that might help brainstorm some ideas .
As always, links to other threads explaining the whole process is welcomed, but just please don't reply with "IDK" because that's basically considered spam
I Also found this out : HTCDev.com uploaded a couple of source codes about their kernel : http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads which includes the HOX+ if that will be of any help.
Final words: I know that this thread won't probably magically just solve it, But it's just mostly for me and other users to learn
Edit: Since its not really a Q&A Section and more of a general discussion in my opinion so I posted it in general because I want all devs to just talk, since its not really an "Answer the question" thread. MODs you can move the thread if you find it in the wrong section, thank you.
~Ghandour
SuperCID is not a prerequisite to S-Off. Infact it's the other way round, you need to remove the security flag (S-Off) before you have the nessesary permission to modify your Carrier-ID. .
There are ways for end users to attain S-Off but it's either very pricey (Buying a SETool box/Card/Credits and using LGTool to S-Off) or very risky (Sending your phone to someone who already has the equipment to S-Off your phone and hope they dont steel it) lol

OH I forgot to mention, I am well aware that you can S-Off your device using expensive equipment (javacard) and so forth and so on, but this thread was meant for pure normal S-Off the old fashioned way, which you can do without any fancy equipment. Because I am sure that the other phones that can be "S-Off"ed don't really require you to buy all those tools. ^^
They can but it's alot harder for us because of our Tegra SOC's.
I've always wondered why we dont start a donation thread, we could raise the money for the equipment and give it to a trusted member to buy (Someone like lloir but with more time) Then the members who donated could send their phone to this trusted member and get it S-Off'd...

Well there is a thread about sending your phone to the US to an XDA Member with a java card somewhere around but that's not the point at all....
The thread was meant to understand why is it hard? Why can't it be achieved? What is the issue exactly? (From a developer's point of view)
I found this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2057105
EDIT: This thread is helpful however the thread remains unsolved. What exploits do the dev try to find when trying to figure out a way to S-Off the device? Leaked DIAG zips ?
Because I am aware that the "S-ON" Policy is mostly only done by HTC. So How are other phones exploited? For example, the HTC One has a fully functional FULL S-OFF : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473644
So Does this App contains the "Diag" zip found in the app or what? Any dev explanation would be helpful.
Attaining SuperCID
I attempted attaining SuperCID by combining this method with this information about the HOX+. It does not appear to have changed anything, so it looks like that part of the memory can't be modified, which probably rules out any method similar to that.

Alright, So the issue we are talking about here is that the memory doesn't become saved. So the exploit basically will make it become saved.
So can't we talk about repeating the process over and over and over again till it actually works? Can't we remove the usb in the middle of the process and force a hard reboot?
Tell you what, I think i might try this out. Let's hope the phone keeps on running QQ
"Theoratically" speaking, what if we copy all that partition of the storage to our PC, format the partition then we push it. I know there will be a huge risk of break but in theory can this work without breaking the phone?

Im willing to try whatever you want with my AT&T HOX+. Its a second phone that i dont use anyways. Just let me know what you want me to try. I would love S-OFF on it because then it might become useful to me.

Well I admit that I don't have experience with development yet so I can't ask you to brick your phone with "false" claims So That's out of the question for me. HOWEVER, If any exploit is discovered since I have an international phone , AT&T will be required to test it as well.. But that's not for the near future on my part .. haha and generally speaking if any dev wants you to risk your phone before he risks his then he is not worthy imo.
Anyway back to topic:
Now for the general understanding @WindyCityRockr This post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671396 says that you pull a file edit it with HEX Code editor and then push it again. I read somewhere that someone changed the paritition setup so basically the "SDCard" became a whole different partition. Can you elaborate on what file you pulled and tried? Where to find it if the location changed?
EDIT: I found it in the root section /dev/block/ the mmc files are there
What I understand is that the "unlock_code.bin" gained from HTCDev makes you gain partial unlock, Did anyone try to edit that file? I mean Maybe the key answer lies in that file. Maybe if you can edit this file then you flash it maybe you gain S-Off?
Now generally speaking, if you are unlocked with S-ON, on other devices where you can use an app to gain S-Off, do you need to relock your bootloader and flash RUU and stock recovery before you try to S-Off your device? What will happen if you dont.
Anyway I will try to load up the file and inspect it abit then report back
Would be a pleasure if more devs join in.
Problem with S-Off on OneX/X+ exists because of different hardware between this phones and any other HTCs. For now there is no way to restore Your phone even with JTAG (tegra has disabled JTAG). No one know what is exactly needed to repair baseband/IMEI after direct flashing eMMC. We can restore phone, but baseband is still dead. We know also there are 3 chips needed to be paired. CPU, eMMC and XGold 626. If You change only one of them- phone has no IMEI, being SIM locked or boot only in bootloader. There is also problem with bootloader- is locked. That's why You can't totaly brick Your phone. There is no way to change anything in bootloader, so We can't S-off phone. Probably even with Java card. I have some diag files for OneX, but not working. We stuck. We need to know how to get SBK for Tegra 3

Alright, just let me comment or rather ask about some few points.
-I get that the international version and AT&T are different , one having LTE and the other dont, so does that mean that the S-Off here will be different between the international and the AT&T? If so, which is easier?
-You said if you change only one you become sim-locked, So did anyone succeed in changing one permenantly?
-There was a thread saying that you can make a backup of your IMEI folder and paste it , shouldn't that fix the IMEI issue?
-So you are saying even with a Java card and the original DIAGs we can't S-Off? How is that possible even though there are people who actually succeeded in doing so ?
So all these issues will be solved if we get the SBK? [Secure Boot Key] ?

International and AT&T are different. International has Tegra3 CPU, AT&T is standard Snapdragon phone. It's just OneS in One X skin. So. probably for this last OneS S-Off solution should be working after some modifications. Need to ask some good devs. This version is also supported for JTAG flashing, IMEI repair etc.
Almost all HTCs has standard Qualcomm processors (even HTC One) and similar construction. International OneX is different. Completly different CPU (and GPU), different and locked by Nvidia bootloader. Security flags are in bootloader, so, We can't even touch it.
-I never heard about anyone who change any of this parts and bring phone to live. If anyone can do this- probably We can do everything else, incluging Bootloader security status changing (S-on/off)
-Yes, backup will help. But only if You still have original parts on Your PCB. If You change anything important- backup will not help You. To check how it's working We need to get 2 OneX with same version of SW, clean and not touched. Make backups and look inside. Mayby We can find differences and make solution for EFS repair. The sad things is 90% of broken OneX has HW problem, not SW.
- Still I have not Java card (White Card), but it's probably some universal device for new HTC models, but I'm affraid it can not work with International OneX, because of additional Tegra3 security. But mayby Java Card has some Tegra Security unlock instruction inside. Who knows
- I know some people just buy unlocked devices (for devs). Like I said before, I don't know how Java card is working, if it can disable Tegra security, then bootloader can be fully unlocked.
- Fater get SBK We can unlock bootloader, but for IMEI repair We need to understand OneX EFS construction, to know what should be change to see our IMEI and whole Radio back
For now I'm waiting for Z3X team progres on repair Nvidias HTC, they can directly flash eMMC, now, They're working on repair broken IMEI etc. That's the goal now.

Chillax bro, LoLzZzZ (so swag, i know) . Well Since both phones do have similar hardware, except the AT&T One X , So the ideas are joined. So even if you own a tegra 3 HOX, it's fine that you post here if you have something to say. I think he just misread the forum , its fine
Yeah, sorry, I was reading posts on HOX and HOX+ forums and just wrote on bad section. Sorry again, but HOX and HOX+ are similar phones. HOX+ has a little better CPU. S-off problem is same, Nvidia security is probably same. So, We still can't do anything.
I don't know much about programming, but if We can unlock bootloader via HTCdev, then must be some backdoor on Nvidia security, or mayby seucrity is disabled during bootloader unlocking operation. Mayby this is the way. Or mayby this part of bootloader security is somewhere else and Nvidia key not blocking this. I don't know. Any Dev is needed here.
Gotta love it when I resurrect an old thread (oh resurrect. Such a big word)
I've been wondering for quite a while about this question.
Turing on "Power saving" mode in the sense rom, turns down your CPU to 1.3GHZ, which means it UNDERCLOCKS your device. Correct me If I am wrong, if you are S-On you neither can underclock nor overclock your cpu . Right?
I know this has been thought by other great developers before, but is there no way to de-compile just the power saving function and inspecting to see how it gains the S-Off access? I mean the answer must be there.
