They come unbranded from t-mo and orange in uk i think, but cid seems is of orange. Anyway use htcdev to unlock your bootloader then install TWRP recovery then you can flash supersu or similar.
Has this worked for anyone ?

I have an EverythingEverywhere HTC One XL, and I used HTC Dev to successfully unlock the bootloader: http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
After doing so, I used fastboot to flash a CWM 'Touch' recovery image, then used fastboot *again* to flash the CM10 boot.img, then used CWM to finally install CM10.
(I discovered that if you try and install CM10 just using CWM, and without using fastboot to flash the boot image, then CM10 would fail to boot and would just sit on the boot logo indefinitely. I also found that the second time I installed CM10 that after flashing the boot image I had to reflash the recovery image)

Does anyone know a method of downgrading the HTC One X to 1.85? I looked around hoping for an answer but nothing. Then I thought to myself (after having to download an ruu for my old vivid countless times) that I could just download the 1.85 RUU for the One X and run that. Unfortunatly that had failed. I'm wanting to root my One X but with it being 2.20, root capabilities have been eliminated. So, does anyone have a way of downgrading the phone? Results or not, Thanks.

Patience Luke. If you got to 2.20 before rooting you are effed for the moment, but sooner or later somebody will break it. Of you were already rooted and unlocked with a superCID you should be able to re rkotu

I know this sounds dumb (it did to me too) but you can exchange your phone for a new one so you would then have 1.85. Thats what i did and now i'm happily running sense 4.1.

i just got out of an IRC chat with mike1986 (the creator of the rom you would be running if you have a tegra phone) and he said that nobody has this one xL phone. it's just us guys. the rest of the world got the quad core tegra that is unlocked to begin with. we would have to be lucky that of the few one xL users, one of them has the competency to hack the new OTA.. and i asked beaups if he could do it, and he hasn't found a way yet (he hacked the 1.85)
Hmm...that does sound kind of depressing. I'm kind of wondering if there is still anything we can do if we have unlocked bootloaders but no root. I really want to know more about how exploits are found and how the other hacks were discovered.
If you're bootloader is unlocked then you're ok. You can always push root via recovery.

I'm now flashing the Stock Rooted Odexed version of 2.20 from scottsroms.com. I wonder if I'm the only one who updated that previously had root and an unlocked bootloader and thinks their stuck. Again, thanks Gunny. I didn't know I could still do this!
Did you have to install the boot.img separately?
No. I started with a relocked bootloader. I unlocked the bootloader again with my unlock token, flashed the twrp img using fastboot and then just flashed the odexed stock rooted updated rom. Worked like a charm.
Ok thanks.
They put the system update on me before I left the store and I didn't notice until it was too late. I tried to exchange and they wouldn't do it, not even for a re-stocking fee. Hopefully I can find a store that will be more cooperative.

Not entirely true. You need to be rooted on AT&T, since BL unlock is not officially offered for us and we need to change the SuperCID.
Not sure if this is the case with SingTel. Most carriers are allowed to unlock their BL officially. If HTC offers the bootloader unlock for that carrier CID, you do not need root. And root is easily achieved after BL unlock (just install a custom recovery and flash SU).

Sorry. Unfamiliar with other carriers. Plus, I never saw the One X in the list on the dev site at all. Has it changed? Or, are you saying that some carriers don't lock the bootloader at all? I wonder why AT&T even cares about locking it down.
If your phone is NOT on AT&T, you can unlock the bootloader with HTCDev.com
That means you do NOT i repeat NOT need root.
Just choose "All other supported phones" in the list of phones.

Are you sure? It is listed as a HTC One XL with LTE coverage and their firmware works on everyones S4 phones.
Where is your info coming from that the phone isnt a S4??
To add facts:
Singtel previously offers both: HTC one X and HTC one XL (LTE).
Now, I think Singtel only offers One XL.
Singtel 4G Network Just about 3 months old.
BTW, I successfully Unlock Bootloader and gain root upon Rom Flashed.
I encountered no trouble at all. And did the following:
. follow HTCdev literally
. flash TWRP recovery image using fast boot flash command
. flash custom rom zip file thru TWRP
=) +1 rooted HOXL
The new update for the One XL came out a few weeks ago, and I updated my phone, before the update, my phone was s-off, now, its s-on D:
My Software number now is 5.05.707.1
Kernel Version is 3.4.10-g5f4de050
Android version is 4.2 2
Hboot version is 2.15
Bootloader is unlocked
Just wondering, is it possible to s-off again? And what TWRP2 version do I flash for my phone, can you post a link please? I might want to flash it.
All help is greatly appreciated

Turn off your phone, and when you want to turn it on, hold down the power button and the Volume Down button. And then you will enter bootloader mode. The top left tells you whether your bootloader is unlocked or not (*UNLOCKED* or *LOCKED*) If there is a *TAMPERED* above it, it means that your phone is rooted

You sure? Its very unusual for an update to have changed the security flag. Has anyone else that has updated to Sense 5 experienced this?
Root for any version except AT&T (US) is the same as before just unlock the bootloader via htcdev.com, install custom recovery, and flash SU or a rooted ROM.
Since your bootloader is unlocked, that step does not need to be done. To find TWRP just look at my Index thread sticky at the top of the General forum; or just look in Development.
If you want s-off again, then SuperCID (if not any longer) and try the facepalm exploit again. I don't know if anyone has verified if it still works after the Sense 5 update. But if not, the only way to find out, is to try it . . .

Hi guys, i have a problem with my HTC ONE XL. Since it does not have forum for that phone and it is indentical as ONE X i will write it here and hope you guys will help .
So this is the thing, i buy a phone from e-bay and when it came it was already rooted. It has Android version 4.0.4 and sense version 4.0. I know that is old and i want to update to newest android version. When i enter software updates he find me update but it cant be installed. I am kinda new to this rooted devices, but can you just explain to me how to update to newest android version if that is possible.
I bought the cellphone from Hong Kong.
First the ONE XL isn't the same as the ONE X. Now is this device unlocked. If so what recovery do you have and what hboot

You're in the right forum, this is the HTC One XL forum. You can't install official updates on a modified phone. Do you want to install official updates or do you want to install a custom ROM? They are very different methods.

Also, do you know how to get into recovery, and what recovery (TWRP or CWM) and version number.
Don't update anything until we tell you to. Its possible to brick the device without proper knowledge at this point.

Which is "better" is a personal choice, and we can't make that choice for you. Also, there are custom ROMs that are close to stock, but clean of bloatware and with some other optimizations.
Whether you pick official firmware or a custom ROM is up to you. But you are already setup for flashing custom ROMs, so that would just be a matter of picking one (or try a couple) that look good, putting them on the SD and flashing in custom recovery.
The reason your phone will not install the latest official update, is that the OTA needs to have stock recovery to install (and you have custom recovery installed). If you want to be on official firmware, its probably best to find the latest RUU for your carrier, run the RUU. Then OTA to the latest update.
Tnx for everything man, i looked for custom ROM and i decided that might be better then officiall update. It have newest android version and sense 5.0 so i think i am going to use custom.
But all of them are look the same... Can you recommend some good ones because you are experienced on that field and i am total newbie. TNX
I don't know about redpoint but I would say that it all depends on what you want. If you want stock sense 5 att experience go with cleanrom 7. If you want almost every mod imaginable go with viper xl 4.2.0 then there are other roms that are in between. There are 2 stock ROMs as well as one ported ROM. Depends on prefrances. 2 things to know though. If you want sense 5 you need to run 3.18 ruu and upgrade the hboot to 2.15. then get the latest recovery of your choice.

Asking for a ROM recommendation isn't allowed, to say one ROM is better infers that others are inferior in some way. This isn't fair to the devs who spend their spare time bringing us these ROMs free of charge. I know @phonegeekjr has already recommended one but he shouldn't have. It's up to the user to have a look through the ROMs that are available and make a choice.
You do need to run the 3.18 RUU though, and then flash the 2.15 firmware package in order for any Sense 5 ROM to run without signal loss or random reboots.

You want to install the entire 2.15 firmware package to run Sense 5 ROMs, not just upgrade the hboot. Upgrading hboot does close to nothing, at least for potential signal drop and reboot issues on Sense 5 ROMs.

If they all look the same, then you need to read more and understand what the various features mean.
Really, in the time you asked for a recommendation and waited for a response, you could have just flashed a ROM and started trying it out.

You can check your firmware an radios via the boot loader that will show u what firmware your on...your build keys r only what firmware your ROM is based on. There for viper being base in the international firmware which is 1.54. That is why you are seeing that info under about phone. Hey no worries you can post an ask things here no one will jump you like other places. If you have not updated to 1.55 from the old one which I believe was 1.12 or something like that. I would update the firmware to get the latest stuff like radios/hboot an etc.

Let me know if for some reason that don't work but I'm pretty sure you will have no issues downloading that.

My bootloader screen does not list the firmware it shows the hboot number and the radio which the radio is the latest one, which may be because I had flashed the new radio on its own so I may still not have the new firmware. It also lists april 1st 2014 and the hboot is 3.16.0.0000 So viperone uses the international firmware for the cdma verizon and sprint that seems odd ? Is the 1.54 the newest international firmware then ?

What does your OS in boot loader? That would be your firmware. An yea viper plus others base there Roms off 1.54 firmware. I don't use viper myself but pretty sure that's always up to date.
Edit. You can update your firmware an run viper no problem at all if that is what your wondering. As my wife m8 does run viper an she is up to date on everything. No issue at all. FYI.

So I might have messed up my phone (hopefully not). I was trying to back to stock but the RUU comes with SU installed, I already used this to "lock" my bootloader, and now firewater when i run it says the following "there really isn't a helluva lot to do here. bye bye".
if you have any suggestions let me know. For what you told me I want to go back to unlocked but might have screwed the pooch with the bootloader lock.
Thanks again for all the help.
