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.

It also seems like Samsung devices are not as difficult to deal with than HTC and the locked bootloader and S-On.

Hello guys. Hey so I'm from the Samsung phone side of flashing and am not new to this. But i do have one question . What rom can I use and still be able to go back to stock? Im thinking that if I stay away from the 1.8 ruu stuff I'll be ok? And if I do how do we return to 100% stock . Thanks ahead of time for your insight and help
No one can answer
you need to root using the root method, then install a rom that is based on 1.72 whatever. If you want to go back stock, use the 1.72 ruu.
But if I try the newer 8 series then I'm stuck on that
Yes, you're stuck, until bootloader is unlocked.

Hi,
I Have an Rogers HTC One x
Evita 1.73 ......
Bootloader Unlocked
Rooted and CWM install
I just followed JSLEnterprises method to debrand ...
now I have a clean HTC Vanilla XL .. as they say
Looking to try new Roms, are their any available that or compatible with my device, or I should I just patiently wait for flashable
why dont you visit the dev section and see for yourself?
didnt think CWM was working at all at the moment
Wow man chill i did and I just wanted clarification. And I never said I used cwm just talking about the ruu roms we have . Why is everyone so quick to flame and jump , some people like to be sure that's the case so they don't get in hole they cant get out of.

Well for one thing, don't use the 1.85 RUU that just got leaked today until root is regained for it. I'm running 1.82, though I'm hard pressed to find any improvement since I didn't have any problems beforehand (like the WiFi problems people were having on 1.73). Maybe a bit smoother? Idk.
That's my dilemma my phone runs great it has its moments but all in all good. But I like to tinker and its hard not to . I'm looking for some good reasons to and against . Any feedback is great thank you

I mean, some things might go wonky if you don't do a factory reset before and after flashing the 1.83 RUU and tried to root. I know that two people (one of them being me) lost our lock screen rings after running the root script for 1.83. Re-RUUing with wipes fixed everything.
Otherwise you really have nothing to lose by doing this besides maybe your warranty and whatever time you have to spend setting up your phone again (TiBu is a godsend)
I have paid for many apps.to save me time in the whole dev side. I have also.made a few eons for Samsung.infuse but never let them out because people are.crazy. I'm used to Samsung and all new to HTC

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.

Thanks man oh well.
I'm trying to update my HOX and for some reason it won't happen. My phone downloads the latest OTA (4.0.4?), the phone restarts, goes to the install screen, the progress bar gets a quarter of the way, then a phone with a red triangle pops up. I have no idea what's happening. The phone will eventually restart again, and a pop up will show up and say, "update unsuccessful, please try again later."
Can someone please shed some knowledge. I'm pretty sure this phone isn't rooted or anything. Android is pretty new to me, coming from iOS after 5 years.
It's helping you from making a mistake.
If you accept the ota, then it's lights out for you if you want to unlock or root. Search a little bit, there's a thread with a pre-rooted 2.20 update on here. I'd recommend that. Good luck!
PS: My phone did the same exact thing. I was rooted, which I undid temporarily using Voodoo Rootkeeper, and also I had uninstalled some system bloatware using Titanium Backup. That was enough to cause the ota to fail. Thankfully.

Not sure what the problem is but if your dead set on taking the update and losing the ability to root or unlock in the near future the ruu is availible in the dev section or you can download it direct from HTC dev. I would highly recommend you do a little more reading before taking the plunge

Hold your tongue before the angry mob of pitchfork-weilding purists descend on you for not wanting to root! LOL
If you're new, I guess it makes sense, but there is a lot you can do with root, pretty basic stuff, that you can't without it. Like fixing the linkify issue and unlock the tethering app, and the built in tools like flashlight and the FM tuner.
So let the ota fail all it wants while you do some homework. Then call the shot. Good luck.

Can the One X be downgraded back to previous firmwares? I'm on 2.20 now, from reading, it doesn't look like there's a root.

No eta most of the work on any root exploit is usually done behind the scenes more because of the fact that some previous exploits were security holes so not revealing till it is verified as working prevents att or HTC to block or patch it.

first of all, you flashed a ROM and recovery not meant for your phone. Our One X is a snapdragon based phone codenamed evita.
can you get to boot loader anymore?
if so relock it
then install the factory RUU that matches the version you had before, probably 1.85
then spend about 2 or 3 weeks reading the threads in OUR development section before you unlock the bootloader and flash anything else.

This mistake is very easy to make for someone who just bought a phone. I know that the credo at XDA is rtfm but the mods of the respective forums really ought to make the effort to make the distinction more obvious.
HTC and AT&T should have done that.
Seems pretty self explanatory to me.

I know I made the same mistake in my first ROM flashing experience. And I even knew that ROMs for the International One X were incompatible! I just had no idea what "endeavoru" meant.
Since then, I've been keeping track of many HTC One X terms, which I highly recommend the original poster take a peek at.

For the rooting process: I spent a few hours reading most of djrbliss and hasoon2000 's rooting threads (because i'm on 2.20) and i'll go rate and thank them too even if i don't root in the end.
So basically what i actually want to know is there anything else i should look into before i get started?
I'm also undecided on a ROM as yet because i need it to have a few certain features though i'm not sure they are available in all or none
1) Ability to backup apps and app data (I believe Titanium Backup Does this, but i mostly wanted one to use BEFORE the rooting process)
2) Get rid of that bloatware (It's not really an issue as it can be disabled) but for the very least switching out the boot screen will work
3) Probably the most important is getting OTA updates (I can't get them in my country, because i'm not on ATT) and if i have to wipe to do an update i might as well switch to a ROM that doesn't have that problem.
Post is really long now that i look it over lol, thanks for reading.
Man I'm glad you've been doing research, it sounds like you at least have a grasp of what's gonna have to happen. You didn't mention if your on att, telus, rogers, ect. Att users have to go through the entire process, while all other carriers can just unlock through htcdev and flash twrp (recovery) then superuser (root).
Follow the guides carefully, don't be tooo nervous... if you get stuck, don't panic and start resetting everything... taking an extra minute to ask us on here will save you sometime later.. good luck
EDIT: sorry I just seen you stated your not on att... follow directions on htcdev... you'll be good

I followed the HTC One X All In One Kit, and it doesn't seem to get the job done.
I get CID 111....
I got my code from HTC Dev
I drop bootloader unlock on there
but when I get to the recovery portion it says that it transfers correctly etc,
However, when I am in boot and click 'recovery' , i get a white HTC splash screen that says "quiety brilliant' that you normally see, but with some red disclaimer text below. It just hangs there until i do something.
What is wrong?

Well i'm on a local carrier in Trindad, but it's the AT&T One X, unlocked of course. So i would still have to do the entire process right? Or have i been wasting all my time overthinking this? -_-

From fastboot type "fastboot oem getcid" if it shows CWS__001 then yes you have to do the entire process.
Moderating from my One Xl
Or fastboot getvar cid.

So you've completed the process on htcdev, and they emailed you the unlock token? Drop that in your fastboot/adb folder and use the command prompt that htcdev says (sorry I forget) ..
Once you do that you'll be bootloader unlocked... nothing fancy here yet... if your NOT on att, you should be able to download goomanager from play store and install recovery script.. now we playin with the puss! Download SU zip, install (flash) through recovery. Now you should be set up for flashing the goods..
Fellow xda'ers, please correct any wrong info I provided as I'm slightly buzzed lol

Okay, so it's been over a month and i finally got around to checking the CID and it's " CWS__001" as expected.
Will look to use Hasoon's tool and post my updates.
Thanks for the help from everyone so far.
Moving slowly as i was waiting to see the AT&T 4.1 update and still not seeing the ROM that i want for certain.

If you mean you are waiting to receive and install the JB OTA, you shouldn't wait. See item 2 on the following post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181929

I was waiting to see what it contained. Nothing I can use here in Trinidad. Since I have to wipe to update anyway I'll be looking for a better os. Clean ROM appears to be closest to what I want though i kinda need the OTA.
Will get to hasoon's tool soon enough.
Hey, quick question:
Is there a listing of ROMs where i can see what each one does? I kinda understand what CleanROM and Senseless do but most of the rest i don't understand. Searched around for what i'm asking for but i mostly just get a listing of available ROMS.

The OP for each (usually) gives a complete summary. I don't think anyone has collected them all, which would be pointless anyway because the devs are always updating them.

Okay thanks, i only asked because i think i saw one for the Endeavour. Will keep searching through.
Redpoints collection has most of the roms that are for our device with the exception of wildchilds Rom... Also you shouldn't find any intl one x roms in our forum I don't see any

Yep, i know about redpoint's guide, i have it open almost constantly, but it doesn't provide a description of what each ROM does, have to read through as Elvis suggested.
It's on XDA just not in this forum, it showed up as a result when i tried a google search.
Well I can tell you if you haveny noticed in original dev section most roms if not all are cm10.1 based or aosp based... In the regular dev section they're mostly sense 4+ roms with each having its own tweaks

those are my rom lists for the evita
please give thanks if these files are helpful, if not i think ill take them down and post them a different way.
Thanks to Divine and box (i'm not going to call you kittens :silly.
Something that just occurred to me though; do the telus and rogers ROMs have the restriction on tethering, reverse tethering and other android features? I noticed most of the developers are working from the AT&T ROM base which seem to have those restricted. (I could be misinterpreting)
Thanks Divine for that list, a bit confusing at first but i'm closer to my ROM choice. Still have a few questions:
1) Does cleanROM provide an OTA service? Or do i have to factory reset to do an update every time?
2) Viper seems to be highly rated for it's stability and features, however can i turn off all those themes? Plus what are all these features? I'm not sure i need them.
3) Rebelrom Senseless seems to be interesting too but what is the advantage of being closer to stock Android on an HTC device?(This one might be subjective)
4) I'm also liking the look of Hakta, so i'm asking if this one has OTA or have to factory reset to update as well?
I would ask the developers themselves but i'm too unimportant to post in their threads or pm them lol.
Thanks again to anyone who has the time to answer.
@ box YNWA! Though i'm not a Chelsea hater lol.
@ Divine that second link is hilarious, but you should warn persons about the volume of the first one, it almost blew my eardrums off. (I only use headphones)

1) clean Rom does not provide an ota service but you could expect one more full update for it then it'll be done with updates fir a while
2) viper comes basically stock it has a whole variety of themes you can choose..from my experience it's been amazing and great battery life with a great equalizer too for music(uses telus base I think)
3) rebel Rom keeps the sense camera and some other stck sense applications ..it basically gets rid of the sense launcher and you'd be on nova or your choice of an alternative launcher.. great battery life
4) hatka..is an interesting one, from my experience I didn't have any bugs and the audio is great with acid audio
Side notes: only one actual custom Rom is running the att jb base and that's clean Rom.. I think tethering works on every Rom but I couldn't promise..
And just consider yourself a loser unless you hate chelsea!
I've been a hatka user for quite some time and I must admit it is near flawless. It uses many battery/performance tweaks and when paired with elemental it's just beautiful. Plus it's the only rom with built it AC!D which is pretty much pure sex coming out of your headphones. Hope this helps!
