Ever since I rooted I have not been able to get into recovery to flash anything. Is this because I rooted and have to have clockwork to get into recovery now? I was stock rooted 1.73 now stock rooted 1.85 OTA
Thanks

How did you update via OTA to 1.85 and keep root? Does the OTA not take your root away? I'm only asking because 1.85 isn't rootable at the moment. Did you ever unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery when you were on 1.73?
I rooted 1.73 then used Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to keep root while I did the OTA to 1.85. I never unlocked or installed a custom recovery mostly because this is a company provided phone and didn't want to go that far. This phone is so much different than the Rezound I came from and I'm kinda gun shy I guess. Lol

Gotcha. Your phone still has the stock recovery. You need to unlock your bootloader and install one of the custom recoveries before you can flash anything.

That's what I figured. I guess I need to "grow some" and just do it.
Thanks!

Hi so I have an unlocked htc one x, previously from telus (just guessing because I have the app house app) my software version is as seen above 1.91.661.4 and kernel is:
3.08-01163-g093fcd8
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT
is this version rootable? And if so, would someone with the same specs be able to confirm?
Any OneX from Canada, can be boot loader unlocked through Htcdev.com
Then after reading, much reading go unlock boot loader then read about TWRP, not cwm.
Then when you're done there, all the custom Rom goodness awaits you.
I don't have links to threads for you sorry, you will have to search or wait for one the forum gurus to post up some.
I hope that helps a little for your peace of mind.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I am confused as to what 'TWRP' and 'cwm' are though, could you elaborate?
They are in short, custom recoveries for flashing custom roms an much more.
Do not use cwm, use twrp, cwm can cause issues.
Team win recovery project I believe is name.

Just to be clear somethings up. The 1.91 rom from Rogers can't be rooted.
The bright side is that just like all the other carriers with the exception of AT&T, Rogers has no problem with us unlocking the bootloader through HTC and installing custom roms.
You need to go to the HTC Dev website and follow the instructions for unlocking the bootloader. Once that is done, come to the development section here on XDA and following the instructions to install TWRP.
After that you are free to install any rom for the ONE XL. Just make sure that the rom you are installing is for the Evita model.

I see the Telus guide here basically says to unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery, and install a rooted ROM to achieve root.
Is it possible to flash SuperSU to the phone, once you have the bootloader unlocked and custom recovery installed? For instance, if somebody wants root, but to otherwise stay stock?
Don't have any experience with the Telus version, just wondering.
So I noticed on the htcdev website, there is no item in the list for HTC One X. Which one am I supposed to pick?

At bottom of that list at htcdev, pick other.

Ok so I unlocked the bootloader by following the instructions from HTC's website. But is there a proven method to root the 1.91 telus firmware?
Dan, sorry I never bothered to try an root my stock Rom, I installed a custom Rom immediately after using goomanager to install twrp recovery.
Never backed up original Rom, never going back and want the space for back ups of different custom roms so I can flash back an forth easier with what little sd storage space we have.
If you want root for it, may have to dig in forums a little deeper..My suggestion is try Cleanrom V, close to stock an very clean an smooth as a daily driver.
(Cm10 too once they get Nightlies working again for full on senseless fun)
Cheers

From everything I've read, the accepted method for your phone is to flash a custom ROM, or pre-rooted stock ROM to achieve root.
Hmm so I can simply install TWRP recovery and then flash the rom? I would be happy with that
I am confused as to how to install TWRP recovery without having root access. Could someone explain to me how to install it on my phone I have unlocked bootloader and that is it so far.

If you flash the SuperSU zip from your recovery you can have a rooted 1.91 Telus ROM. But why would you want to? Just install a stock-ish ROM like CleanROM, ViperXL, or Calkulin's One XL ROM, they're much better than stock.
I would if I knew how....

Well i have the Rogers One X and i was new into rooting too a month ago
just do the things they mentioned above and you are good
Okay let me explain once more, I installed goomanager but apparently it doesn't work unless your phone is rooted. I install the open recovery script and nothing seems to happen. I do not have TWRP on my phone. And I am not entirely sure as to how I am supposed to get it

I am getting a warranty service done for my phone, as its borked. I don't want to download an RUU for my HOXL, as my internet is very slow (256kb) I have ViperXL and TWRP installed, with an unlocked bootloader. I need the stock recovery.img and stock kernel if possible. I have the stock ROM already flashed, but need these elements. Thanks for the help!

how did you flash the stock ROM file?
Downloaded it on my phone on my 3G plan through AT&T. I then flashed the boot.img through an app called flash image GUI, rebooted recovery, and flashed the stock ROM file posted in the dev section. I would download the RUU in the same manner, but my internet on my HOXL isn't unlimited.

I'm currently on cm10.1 with s-off and unlocked.
just wondering if I can use the JB OTA zip file from ruu.androidfiles.org to bring my phone to official JB. If yes, can I just load the zip file in TWRP and flash that way? thanks!
If you do it may lock your phone back down and I don't know what would happen if you flashed a sense based update to an aosp ROM.

Just flash a stock rooted ROM posted in Development.
Simple rule, don't install OTAs on a rooted Android device. At minimum, you will lose root.

Just rooted and successfully s-off'd my next step is flashing a rom, I'm reading the instructions for Team Venom's sense rom.
Step 1 says 'Flash the boot img script' I'm using a t-mobile us one s do I still flash the same boot script? Or do I need a different one???
Also what's the best way to get wifi working? I've read that you need to flash a different hboot.
You're S-Off, boot.imgs are redundant to you now. Just flash the ROM.
