Hello all. I got my HTC One X today. When I first started it up there was an initial setup. A part came on that told me to do something on my computer. I didnt have my laptop with me so I couldnt, so I just skipped it. Im now at home and have access to my computers and want to repeat that. Does anything know how or if I can do that. I dont even know if that step was important or what it did.
Any help is appreciated.

In the app drawer. Find att ready to go. I think that may be what you are looking for.

It's not really important at all. If you've set up an Android phone before, the HOX is no different.
Thanks guys. Didnt realize that was what that app was for. I started it and cancelled it. Just like stnguyen09 said, not important. Im guessing its for those who are completely new to Android.

Hi folks. First post.
Just upgraded to a Skyrocket from an Aria. I got a confirmation that it shipped and a link to set up my device via Ready2Go. Has anyone tried this? How does it work? Does it set it up exactly as if you were doing it manually? It seems like a cool feature, but it almost seems too good to be true, especially coming from AT&T. I just don't want anything setup incorrectly or differently (like having to use all the apps through some AT&T portal or something).
I've used it a few times. Works very well.
So I just got this lovely device from the ATT refurb store for ten bucks. And the problem I'm having is that ready2go will not sync to the device. I tried four times with reboots of phone and computer in between tries. What a stupid ass idea this is. Leave it to ATT to find a way to screw up a perfectly good system. Any way since it won't sync I can't use the phone at all. I've gotten Odin to recognize the device and know I can flash CWM then another ROM and that's what I'll end up doing but first just wanted to see if anyone else has run into this issue before or has any ideas.

Why can't you use the phone at all because of ready to go? I always skip that ready to go crap and set up my phone myself. So be more specific when you say can't use. Is it locked up? Need more info...

Well there is no option to skip it. Just back or continue. So if you go to continue it gives web address to go to and the code to enter to sync up. I enter the code and it just sits at the spinning beachball of death forever. How where you able to bypass this setup? I think it may be new from ATT as far as putting in on the phone right after the splash screen.
I would just flash cwm in Odin and flash a custom rom. Skip the stock BS

Hit the home button and all that ready to go crap goes away and allows you to procede setting up the phone.
And xcrazydx is right you might just want to flash a custom rom if you can't figure out how to get past ready to go. Especially since you have a refurbished device and warranty is of little or no issue...

Hey I came from an Aria as well. Big change.
I don't use ready2go. Waste of effort. Might as well just customize on the phone itself. Why else is it a "smartphone" then?
I know for sure I skipped it just don't remember what button I pushed to do it. As much as I flash this phone and my wife's phone I don't take time to use that ready to go crap if I flash an update in Odin I usually turn right around and flash cwm then root then restore my apps data etc with titanium backup. Never has made me use ready to go....

Hey guys, not new to the forums, but just coming back. I have been using an Iphone for the last year or so, and after I upgraded and was unable to jailbreak it (untethered at least), I couldn't take it anymore. I went on to swappa and found what I felt like was a great deal on a brand new HTC One S for $310. I have a question now though. I have been trying out Straight Talk for about a month, and I really have no complaints since much of my data use is over wifi. However, how do I unlock the HTC One S for TMobile so that I can use it with my ATT Straight Talk sim? I'm not even sure I will have to, but it should be here tomorrow and I would like to be prepared. I thought I read you could do this by rooting the phone, but like I said, I haven't been using Android for over a year now so I just wanted to ask the experts. Any help would be appreciated.
Hey there... It's pretty easy. I'm not a noob anymore but im not very advanced either. With that said see the two links I'm attaching.
First root your phone with the one touch tool. It's pretty easy. If you have a mac, run vmware or parallels to do it on windows-that's what I did.
Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24973565
Then follow the instructions in this post to unlock your phone so you can use your non tmo sim card:

Hope it works for you. I'd appreciate it if you would hit the thanks if I helped you out.

Hey guys,
I just received a TMobile HTC S One today to replace my Iphone. I want to use it with straight talk, but I need to root the phone to unlock it first. I've been following the instructions I was pointed to here on the site, and when I got to the following step, I got stuck:
Type this into your command prompt window fastboot oem get_identifier_token
All my CMD prompt box is saying is < waiting for device >
I'm getting no lines of info like the tutorial says I should. I'm kinda nervous because I have my phone powered on and plug into the computer on that white fastboot use screen with teh android guys on skateboards at the bottom. Can anyone help? I really hope I didn't mess up a phone I just spent over $300 on. I'll be here waiting if anyone can give me a hand. Much appreciated.

I don't think you have done any damage to you phone. If adb cannot see it or can't send any data. Which guide are you following?

Make sure USB debbuging is ON and fastboot is OFF (in settings on your phone). Also, make sure you are using a decent data USB cord (some are only for power, and won't transfer data..that was my problem when I got the same "waiting" screen). Also, try using different USB ports on your computer. Don't know why exactly, but sometimes that helps.

The debugging was the problem with the root. Thanks a bunch for that help. Now however I can't seem to unlock my phone from TMobile. I tried everything in the previously mentioned thread, but I keep getting no strings errors. Anyone have any advice?
Nothing worse than having a brand new phone that you can't even use the second day you have it. Man this sucks.

I have an ATT HTC X one I had been running a clean ROM. I searched for a Jelly Bean ROM I thought I correctly identified my phone but...
After installing slim rom I get nothing on power on. And I get nothing with the charger plugged in.
Sucks these devices have such similar names. I suppose things went so well last time I was somewhat more casual.
I am leaving it plugged in over night.
Currently on Linux but do have the Windows 7 boot disk I used to do the rooting.
Can someone point me to a description of possible solutions?
Clearly the take it back to ATT and say it just stopped working one is on the list.
I have seen the attempt to boot and power cycle while watching for auto detect devices. I certainly can put a mini linux on a thumb drive.
I suppose the goal is to somehow write something that can boot strap me back?
I am a Linux savvy person so I can use dd if needed. Just need someone to contact me to point me in the right direction.

I'm not sure, but probably. My friend had told me about this Ice Cold Jelly or something that I should get. For some reason I didn't even check that it was international. Though I was wondering more along the lines of warranty, could I possibly take it to an AT&T store and get a replacement?
Searched some forms relating to this and really wish I came here before making the attempt based off of all the warnings. Good excuses I can come up with.

So a friend of mine dragged me into trying to help this woman who thinks her son was taken in by a cult. (I call it crazy but what do I know) He dropped off the phone an Atrix 2 and bailed. They want to see the deleted messages. Issue is that recovering them requires root and it seems I have that fun little issue that requires a factory reset before adb can figure out its magic. (I think a factory reset would create the deleted messages unrecoverable) Been reading every darn thread I could and still can't seem to find a solution. I kinda doubt there is one to be honest. But if anyone has something that might work I don't mind giving it a shot. Oh yeah you might notice its my first post but I haven't really had any issues with rooting before and to be frank I am just not really into these types of things enough to be able to give back to the community well. My apologies.
I have tried 1click methods, apk's, adb (fresh install on a new hard drive, had one layin about) drivers, inf changes, you name it I probably tried it.
Anything to be done?
Here's to the hope someone can help.

Amen to that, brother! :sly:
Anyway, regarding your query, I looked around and found this. It doesn't seem to require root so it might be just what you're looking for. :thumbup:
Also if you factory reset it doesn't overwrite the memory so you should still be able to recover them if you know where to look and prey to god that the memory doesn't get overwritten by something else

Before the hate police flood my new thread - yes I have searched xda for the answer(s) - but haven't had any luck. I've searched for 2 weeks before writing this.
I did a stupid thing. My device is unlocked and rooted but still had the Asus OS and i tried to change the fonts. Now it won't get past the ASUS boot screen. I also don't get the 3 (or 4 or 5) icons that are supposed to come up.
I've tried the power/volume buttons, motochopper, the Asus unlock (probably unnecessary) and a number of other things my searches but no luck.
I'm trying to find a step-by-step guide that can possibly help me with my particular problem.
After I completely get it going again I am going to install Cyanogen or KKrombi or some other OS.
This is a process that I am famliar with and have been doing since my T-Mobile G1 to my OPO without problem, but this time I am stumped.
Thank you for your time and help. Just point me to another thread or something & I'll take it from there.
How did you try to change the fonts??
Never heard before that somebody hard bricked the tablet that way and that's what you did it seems. Hate to tell you this, but if you cannot get into the bootloader (screen with 3 icons) this tablet is toast.

Bugger. I used Rom Manager to do it. It's funny I saw the icons once but not since.

Yep, using ROM Manager has bricked quite a few of these babies. That explains it. Sorry man....
I know you mentioned using various tools already, but have you tried fastboot commands with it connected directly to your computer?
