what is stopping us porting a working cwm?(update script)

no sure if all devs are in us or not.
but the rogers htc one x is unlock-able with their bootloaders.
beside the boot.img we need to dump from the phone and use.
-the emmc locations.
what else is needed to port a working cwm? the kernel source?(?)
It seems after paul's Interim cwm came out, there is not further development on this anymore...
however if i'm not wrong... the update script doesn't work with paul's cwm yet...
so should we maybe continue working on it? I see rom makers start to use the work around of script-installers...which is very painful to develop on their side.
I tried to port the cwm but..failed due to limit knowledge of working with android source... all the guides I can find is for GB...not ics.
I have a unlocked s-off rogers hox... I'm willing to spend time to port and test if someone willing to lead me...or If someone is willing to do so, I will try to help as much as I can.
we shouldn't be too far since paul already got it that far...with able to flash the recovery and boot into it.
I wish we can get this working, so when dev got bl unlocked with att hox, the att user will have a working cwm and an unlocked bl to flash it...

Very few care about us canadians I guess be thankful we got this for now
Id be all over this if i knew anything about android programming.

I think the chances are that the bootloader will be unlocked soon, and when it is I don't think it'll be long for cwm to be ported. I know there are some great devs with this phone, and I'm sure development will catch up to the international version. Right now is just a waiting game.

CWM-flashable roms from the One X

Now that we have an unlocked bootloader and working recovery, has anyone successfully ported any of the roms from the international htc one x (tegra 3)? Feel free to post which rom you used and how it worked out for you.
DO NOT TRY AND FLASH THE BOOT.IMG FROM THE INTERNATIONAL HTC ONE X ROM. MAY RESULT IN SOFTBRICK

wrong section buddy

Yeah and I know no one is gonna read the general q&a. Besides we are all wanting immediate rom goodness

What? You can't flash a international rom. r u drunk

I'm reading it and it says has anyone flashed, not ported. Lol

lol just make a backup in cwm. worst case scenario you have to restore like I did. Won't hurt to try.

^^^^ you act like someone stole your cookie. stop crying like a baby about simple misplaced thread

So now i have an unlocked bootloader and i have CWM installed. If i were to use a RUU, the clean rom DE, would it remove CWM and put the stock one back on? Or would it leave CWM intact?

When you start calling people names, you are the one that appears immature and childish, no matter how correct you may be.
The problem is, though, you are not correct. Maybe it only appears as a "simple" mistake to you, probably because you don't care or haven't spent enough time in the forums, but for people who frequent XDA then it has become a cumulative nuisance.
Also, when the majority of users responding in the thread you started is either questioning the logic of your statement or placement of the thread then maybe you need to reflect on what you were trying to accomplish and maybe take into consideration how you can achieve better results in the future. Long story short, try to learn from your mistakes.

Okay, so, International One x won't be compatible because of hardware differences, but what about the One S roms? I just tried flashing the CM9 port for the S, and it flashed successfully but upon reboot the screen was just filled with green graphical glitches. Rebooting back into recovery and attempting to restore my backup of the stock system didn't work at all, so RUU for me... but, why wouldn't a One S ROM work? It has 99% of the same hardware... besides the qHD screen. I remember being able to flash a Droid 3 ROM to my bootloader-locked Atrix 2 and it booting up just fine. What's different here?

LTE radio for one. Probably some other minor differences too.

Looks like the devs are not working on Root for 1.85

Arg....seems like the devs have moved on to getting s-off and coming out with new roms and have given up on finding exploits to root 1.85. The threads for root have been empty for a while now...wondering if its time to exchange the phone or return it and want for the sg3?
I know i'm not the only person frustrated for upgrading to 1.85....

I thought you could RUU back to 1.82 if you wanted and then root?

You can. That is what I did. It's pretty simple.
Revert to 1.82, root,
one click superCID
relock in fast boot
ruu 1.85
flash the unlock token from fastboot, it took me a few tries before it took
flash a recovery (twrp is working well for us right now)
and then use the recovery to flash the SU zip file. Then you're all set

Well this is how it works.
Once you update your RUU to 1.85 then install CWM (flashing utility in recovery) You will just flash the Rom you wish this will give you root.
Hope this clears things up?

I'm unclear on the rooted 1.85 but from what I gather you have to have done superCID hack before upgrading to be able to gain root. I believe you have to also have superCID to do ruu to a previous firmware. I may be wrong but if your on 1.85 without superCID I think your SOL for now atleast.

Yes, it's simply amazing how many people will write such non-useful crap that serves no useful purpose.
Look, we've all been there. We all had to learn from the beginning at some point.
I'm also sick of people lobbing ignorant comments my way when it comes to some of the things I do for others, especially here on xda. Case in point ...
Over the last three days I've prepared a 36-page manual that describes, in great detail, how to do virtually everything on a ONE X. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678308
It's sad when, after working an average of 70 hours per week as President an owner of my LED lighting company, plus having a 2-1/2-year-old at home, who's a wonderful challenge, plus having issues with my 82-year-old mother suffering from Alzheimers, I still MAKE time to help others, most especially here on xda. Why? Because it's the right thing to do. As I said above, we've all been there, and I'm quite sick and tired of so many others (THEY shall remain nameless), who can't spend a few extra seconds of their precious time to provide a better explanation than the simple "just do it in fastboot," or "use adb," etc.
Yes, I've now learned exactly what these two simple statements mean, but it really would have been nice, and far, far, far easier not just for me, but everyone if, instead of saying the following ...
flash it in fastboot
...they instead said something like ...
open a command prompt, navigate to your adb folder, and flash in fastboot using the following line:
fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxx.img
Wow, it took me an extra 10 seconds. Oh, my goodness, my fingers are now so sore. I think I'll head to the hospital. Be back later.
Peter
P.S. And don't anyone dare tell me, like someone did yesterday, that I should basically shut up and stop "sassing" (their word) the developers because they work so hard at what they do. You know, I probably work as hard if not MUCH harder than most of them, yet I will always try my very best to give some of my time to others. Again, as I said above, it's the right thing to do. You know, maybe if more people did just that, the world wouldn't be so full of self-centred, egotistical ingrates.

Or didn't wait enough. Don't update official firmware without knowing if existing root methods will still work, unless you are willing to live with the consequences.

Wow. All that and I'm not sure it will even work. Makes me realize how nice it is to have devices like the Nexus that are not locked down as much as HTCs latest on AT&T.
It also seems like Samsung devices are not as difficult to deal with than HTC and the locked bootloader and S-On.

You have installed something to make it slow. Since every One X I seen and used did not lag on opening the app drawer. Not seeing lag.

I've seen where some people say that it lags a little when they open it for the first time after a reboot or it sitting idle a while. It's happened to me a few times also.

[Q] Help Bricked my One-X and cant find the stock RUU

So i got a little ahead of myself today when i unlock my AT&T One X bootloader. I tried to instal CWR and then Cyan9. Rooted and unlocked fine but i get the feeling CWR is still not compatible with the AT&T One-X bootloader.
So the problem im having is reinstalling the stock RUU and ROM. I found lists and lists of RUUs and tried one the is supposed to work but i have had little success. How can i find the stock RUU for my phone or better yet is there a CWR that i can instal to get Cyan9 running?
Im sorry im sure you guys get idiot questions like this all the time but i have spent hours googling with no luck. Im desperate to use my phone again!
Thanks for you input in advanced

Thank you so much. You dont think CM would work on top of this CWM? Or am i missing a whole nother aspect here?

Frankly, I'm not entirely sure what all is involved in porting CM9 from one platform to another, but I would suspect we'll have to wait for HTC to release the source to pull some of the drivers, etc before we make much progress. I would expect somebody to have started a thread on it in the development section if anybody were actively working on it that the moment.

Lol there is no cyanogen mod for this device yet. If there was, and it would've been in the development section. You shouldve known better not to flash the file if it isn't for this device.
You deserve the brick..
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I'm guessing you flashed the unofficial CM9 build for the international One X? That phone has a completely different CPU and SoC (Tegra 3) from the AT&T version (Snapdragon S4) and ROMs are not compatible between the 2.
Either that or you flashed the ROM from some random, completely different phone. In either case, don't flash ROMs for other phones. It won't work, and its a good way to brick your phone.
Sounds like you are pretty correct when you said you've gotten a little ahead of yourself. Don't Google around and install things on your phone unless you are very comfortable with what you are doing. If you are a noob, your best bet is to stick to the Development subforum for your particular device here on XDA.
I've posted an index thread in Development, and it is your friend. Its a sticky at the top of the Development subforum, and you should always read the threads stickied to the top of the forums. I've kept it updated with the latest ROMs that will work on your phone. It also links the appropriate RUUs, as well as other tools.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Also, even flashing the correct RUU will not work, unless you relock the bootloader.

If your smart enough to root and flash **** how did you not know you can't flash a Rom for an entirely different phone. Smh

Was that necessary? We were all noobs once
Anyway i think he got confused with all of the initials... He was saying CWR, Saying cyan9 should work on top of CWR. Hopefully was typo and meant CWM. No wonder you couldn't find any info. Sounds like he thought they were the same or went together. CWM stands for Clockwork Mod, not cyanogen. I may be wrong with this assumption. Anyway..

I'm right there with you on that, maybe there is a way to downgrade to 1.85 and then re-root from there or something? I was planning on unlocking the bootloader this week until I screwed up and downloaded the OTA without thinking.

Plus the only time you would be stuck ia if you had not rooted before the OTA. Otherwise you have a SuperCID and it is my understanding that you can still root

Nope. The Hboot is different. You're stuck, unless you had an unlocked bootloader. If you just had root, or bought the device with 2.2 installed, you're SOL until a new root method is found.
