noob question : can I flash *any* ROMs on 2.20 ?

hi guys,
I recently bought an AT&T One X w/ 2.20 firmware.
just wanted to know if I can flash any ROMs on the 2.20 firmware ? I'm a little confused between what is possible and what is not.
If I can flash ROMs, then I possibly dont want to root/unlock. If not, Can I unlock the 2.20 firmware using HTC-Dev (warranty voided) ? I cant seem to find One X in the dropdown at http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
Could somebody help ?

Nope. You can enjoy the phone as stock and that's all. No root, no custom roms

Simple, you can't do jack if your phone was shipped with 2.20.
Since AT&T is not allowing the bootloader to be unlocked by HTCDev.com. The workaround was to change the CID to SuperCID and fool the system, but root is needed to do that.
So you are out of luck until either a root is found for 2.20, or AT&T allows the bootloader to be unlocked. Or if S-Off is achieved.

OK. I got confused because there were all these articles that talked about unlocking the bootloader using HTCDev.
Nothing i didnt expect - any ideas on when HTC will allow bootloader unlock? Im assuming that the launch of One X+ makes this old enough to be let free

Hard to say, its all about what AT&T wants. All other carriers are bootloader unlockable out of the box. Its not based on any set policy, and AT&T has not made any announcement on when (if ever) they will allow it to be unlocked. They did a similar thing with the HTC Vivid. But allowed it to be unlocked about 3 months after the phone was released. That time period has long come and gone (One X was released in early May).

[Q] Please help me with my AT&T HTC ONE XL...about unlock&root.

Well, I got a AT&T HTC ONE X( it's xl actually ).:victory:
I need to ROOT that.It said that if I want to root that.I need to unlock that first. So I try to unlock the phone by HTCDEV.
One click root not work.
One click unlock not work.
Then there came a error with a error code 160. MID ERROR.
Well,then I read some materials and know that unlocking the phone need to root first...
Okay, now I have been totally confused with that.......
Anyone can tell me how to deal with that?
Oh, my version is 2.20.502.7 710RD.
It said that it is a root-available version?
Please help me , I am not so familiar with them.

If you really searched you would simply have to type HTC one x 2.20 root and find that it is unrootable yet

Hi lucentworld
You don't need root to get a custom rom onto your phone. Once you follow the HTCDEV instructions, then you can unlock the bootloader.
Once the bootloader is unlocked, the phone is unlocked to be able to put whatever custom recovery on it you want
Once you have a custom recovery installed then you can put whatever custom ROM on it you wish.
Just because 2.20 is unrootable, this means you cant get root on the standard ROM. But once the bootloader is unlocked, that ROM goes in the bin anyways.
The HTCDEV way DEFINITELY works. I did it on my sisters One XL telstra without rooting first, she was on the latest unrootable ROM.
Good luck

Thanks for your insult. Hope you get banned for your rudeness.
I did not know ATT blocked unlocking. Here in Australia, we don't have such anal carriers. I was able to unlock my sisters One XL by the HTCDEV way. I was simply mentioning the way that I achieved unlocking. Nice overreaction.
Damn, after reading the guides myself. It looks like you are pretty screwed if you have the ATT One X on that version. I was a bit thrown by the mention of One XL. Here in Aus, we have the One X (international tegra quad core) and the One XL (qualcomm dual core). Its a little less confusing, One X = quad core One XL = dual core. It seems in the states, you have ATT One X = dual core, Rodgers One XL, and International One X

Sorry I had to wake up to do hw and pretty tired...so both versions are in Australia? Why didn't you go with the tegra.?

seuppt hollow
LOL, no probs dude,
The Telstra ver. has LTE
And 3G coverage that covers most of the country
Vodafone, Optus and virgin are left with the One X (tegra)
I am happy with the performance and battery life of the One XL, the missus has a Tegra One X, and I really cant tell the difference. Both were just as hard to Root/Unlock
Good Luck OP :good:

So the only thing I can do is to wait for a method to root the 2.20?
Damn AT&T...00

(my personal preferred method) install goomanager from the app market, install twrp from goomanager (menu-->install openrecoveryscript, make sure it shows openrecovery-twrp-2.3.0.0-evita.img
then download the rom/radio you want onto your device, reboot into recovery and flash

Goo manager is the EASIEST and LEAST SAFE way to install recovery.

[Q] HTC One X Jelly Bean OTA

I live in Australia and I use Virgin Mobile's One X. My CID is HTC_023, so I assume that my phone is unbranded. I am currently running a European stock ROM. Does this mean that I will receive the Jelly Bean update when the European handsets get it or should I wait until the Virgin Mobile Australia handsets get it?
I am a noob at this stuff so please help me out.

Since you're unbranded, you'll get it whenever the ota is released for your phone. No need to worry about being on a carrier or not :thumbup:

Not another thread about the OTA for gods sake. I think everyone has discussed this to such a point that now there is nothing left to discuss. Please read the existing threads before making another one. Cheers

I'm with Virgin as well in Australia. I contacted Virgin once when Sense 4.1 came out to ask when the update would come out and they said that they had no plans to do an update. Then when Jelly Bean was released, i contacted them again via email to ask when they were planning to at least update the One X to Sense 4.1 or hopefully Jelly Bean. Their reply the second time was pretty much the same, they said that they're not planning to update the One X and they referred me to ask HTC's support for more information. In asking the above both times, i mentioned how Optus and Vodafone users had both received updates to at least Sense 4.1 and how Virgin uses Optus' networks, so clearly it's Virgin's fault that their users haven't received the update since Optus users have been running it just fine for a while.
So then i went to HTC Australia's support. I had a live web chat with one of their customer service reps and i asked him if it was possible for me to get any kind of update since Virgin isn't planning to do any updates. He asked for my IMEI and then told me that my phone is a modified Vodafone handset that is unlocked. He then told me that if i was going to get any update on my phone, it would come from Vodafone.
SidDev, i'd recommend for you to go to here and talk to HTC and see if you're in the same boat that i'm in. Hopefully you are, which would mean that you WILL get an update eventually from Vodafone. I must say though, i've been quite disappointed with Virgin's service and their responses to this issue.
Btw if you found this post useful, please hit the thanks button .

Curious, what chip set you guys have?
JB is not out for the XL S4, yet this is the XL forum.
You might get more help in the X forums unless I misunderstood something here.

[Q] Question on phone

hey just wanted to ask a few questions because im thinking of getting the AT&T HTC One X. Im coming from the Droid Incredible 2, which had S-OFF. I know this phone doesn't have S-OFF, but i assume HTC Unlock is still available ? How does this phone compare to the One S(T-mobile)? and are there any common issues with the phone ?
Thanks and i hope to join the community soon.

5.0.1 stock rootable/able to unlock bootloader?

I've read mixed things about unlocking the bootloader of my VZW One M8 5.0.1 that's completely stock. Is the bootloader unlockable? Can't I just use the process on htcdev.com?

HTCdev has never worked for htc m8 VZW devices. You're stuck locked for now until (hopefully) sunshine is updated for VZW M8s on 5.01

Fixed your above post. I still have multiple htc devices on vzw that I still have the HTC dev unlock token for. The most recent being my vzw htc one m7. Idiots forgot to block it on launch day.

THanks, I should have specified the M8. I do remember a few M7s slipping through right after release that could be unlocked.
In any event anyone thinking they can go that route with an M8 it is a dead end.

Still no Sunshine in my M8
Hi guys, 8 months later and I guess there's still no chance of rooting an Android 5.0.1 VZN HTC M8? I have tried everything so far and as this post concludes, the HTCDev tool won't unlock the phone and Sunshine requests a pre-rooted phone. Any work arounds out there? I'm trying to wipe and install a stock HTC rom and bin the VZN.

Yes there's been a method that works. Find my downgrade thread in the general section. After downgrading use kingroot to get root and then sunshine to s-off.
PS come out from under your rock sooner than 8 months !
