So I'm upgrading to the One X, order is made and paid, because my Sammy Infuse charging port is fritzing up and I'm just looking for any tips, info or basic know how for the One X. Also, I haven't looked up on the One X board until now so forgive me but why are there two android dev boards?
Any info helps! :good:
Pretty vague request. But here is a good place to start: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
"Original Android Development" forum is for AOSP based ROMs. "Android Development" forum is for Sense based. Its a bit confusing, I agree.

That's the information money load there, thanks. Quick question, I saw in a different thread that people were looking for 1.85 or so firmware instead of the newest 2.20. Is there a particular reason why?

Until yesterday afternoon, there was no root for 2.20.
Also, hboot on 2.20 is write-protected, which makes flashing roms a bit more complicated.

Oh wow, thats awesome but now I understand why its not exactly wanted. Hopefully I don't get a 2.20 by sheer luck.
It could be a mixed blessing. Firmware updates usually bring improvements to hardware. Who knows, maybe they fixed something.

New question since I don't wanna make a new thread.
How easy or difficult is it to hard brick the One X? I know with my Infuse that the only way to hard brick it is with failing during flashing bootloaders and even then theres a hard brick fix jig but I dunno much about the One X so far.

That's awesome, thanks. So I just got it this afternoon and I was looking and I saw that it only has about 12gb of memory including the 2gb partition for apps. This phone was advertised on the AT&T website as having "Up to 16gb of memory" Am I missing anything else? I'm a serious music whore and I have at least 14gb of music. It sucks enough that it doesn't have a micro sdhc slot

Hi everyone,
I have a AT&T HOX, which runs at 2.20. Is there any possibility to downgrade to a lower version and root the device? I really love "hacking" these phones but Im stuck at 2.20...
Thank you for your time reading my topic
No, if there was no one would be complaining about 2.20.
Search some.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838640
Here's gunnyman thread on the 2.20 think tank. There is also a bounty for 2.20 root in the general discussion.

Search does not always equal knowledge
OP:
I had the same question. I just picked HOX 2.20 off of Craigslist. I didn't know about the CBlock from AT&T version 2.20. I guess I'll have to try some social engineering at the store to get the to free it up for me. From what I've read, root is required to downgrade but no root is available for 2.20, yet.
BTW: I've been looking for this answer for a while, via search. This is the only thread that clearly states 2.20 is not downgradable.

Don't know where you were looking.
Uh.....? I posted a link to another thread stating that 2.20 is not rootable yet. There are at least three in the general discussion thread that I can think of. If you want I can't paste those here? Happy to help in any way. I feel bad for you folks that are locked out on the 2.20.

Not downgradable != not rootable. It's a matter of them not searching with the correct terminology or not understanding what they need to have to downgrade, but obviously they don't know which is why they are asking the question in the first place.
There is now root for 2.20. Check the General forum.
I have an HTC One X on AT&T and live in the US. I just want to be sure that i am following the right root tutorial. I have Android 4.0.4 (still dont have JB update). I have Sense 4.0 and software number 2.20.502.7
This the right tutorial to follow? :

Also, Do I have to unlock the bootloader, or is it already unlocked?
Can I get the jelly bean update later on if I wanted?
Thanks.

Thanks for the link. Can you recommend a couple ROMs you think are good that are compatible with my phone?
I'm running Clean Rom 5.1 right now. It is a Sense 4.1, android 4.0.4 rom but it is waaayyy better than the stock rom. Very stable and great battery life. I've also ran his CleanRom JB rom and it is great also. Some people have had random reboot issue while running jb. Me included, but with Clean Rom JB I didn't have any. I've also heard good things about ViperXL.

All ROMs listed here are compatible with your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Just read through the threads, and you can see what people like. Better yet, just look at the features of the ROMs, see which ones suit you, and try a few.
So right off the bat I have very little knowledge of rooting and flashing roms. I did however successfully unlock, root and flash CM10 onto my AT&T HOX a few months ago. I want to try out the ViperX rom but after reading the install instructions I noticed that I needed to have HBOOT 1.31 or higher and I have 1.14. The only way to get the higher HBOOT is to have a compatible CID # from what I can tell mine isnt on the list included in the link that they posted. Is it really required? What would be my options if I wanted to change to the ViperX/XL Rom?
Thanks in advance!

you might be in the wrong forum what phone do you have one x or one xl viper x is for the international version while viper xl is for the one xl
You are trying to link ViperX in the Development forum for the Tegra 3 quad core version of the One X (ENDEAVORU). Completely different hardware. Flash anything for that version, and you might brick your phone. If you are on any forum page that doesn't say "AT&T" in the forum title, you are in the wrong place (quad core forum).
You want ViperXL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236

Hey guys and gals! My att one x is on the way. I trying to find out as much as i can, before it arrives, for development and custom rom usage on the new device.
I have been out of the forums since i sold my att note.
I know this is alot to ask for some, but...
Can someone please lead me in the right direction for rooting, recovery (cwm if possible), and rom.
My goal is to use a net 10 sim and unlimited plan with this device. This might/would require a carrier unlock code? I can get the code if i need it but id really just appreciate someone summing up these basic questions with basic links or knowledge of the processes. I feel my contributions to our xda forums warrant these inquiries.
Im sorry that i cannot take the time to read the entire att one x forum and subs. Im literally in constant overtime at work. If someone here has the knowledge and guidance, I would appreciate every bit of help.
Summary : Information needed for...
Root
Recovery
Rom
Misc. Information i need to know, including cross-platform rom compatibility (i. e. One X and att One X)
I want to thank you guys in advance because I know at the heart of XDA lies a caring and gifted community of talented people who feel good helping others.
I promise to run with the information and do as much research and reading as possible when time permits. I have done so with all of my devices and being a creature of habit, well...
Thanks again and please dont expect an immediate response of gratitude, personalized to individual replies, until this weekend when i can get back on here and start the one x root process.
Check out this thread, it's got links to pretty much everything you'll need:

What he said. Also i suggest twrp over CWM. It is touch based, plus it works with plenty of roms. You do want to make sure you are on a version where your phone can be rooted.
Good luck.

Is this an AT&T phone, as I suspect from your post? If so, I hope you can still return it.
There is no root method for AT&T One XL phones on 3.18, and there may not be one for months if ever.

This is very true. If the device is from AT&T and has the 3.18 Jellybean firmware, its can't be rooted. Although its possible there is some old stock at some stores with older firmwares. Anything but 3.18 can be rooted. I think someone posted on here just a couple weeks ago about getting a new phone from an AT&T store that had 1.73 (the version from when the phone was released!).
OP should check the firmware version in Settings, and go from there.
Just Done a reasearch on rooting htc one x at&t :laugh: and searched every video and blog spot available.so there is no proper method available to root htc one x 4.1.1 3.18 beacuse of the policies of at&t and also the superid method is also not available so i hope the XDA team will pay a head on this and get a fast and suitable method to root htc one x quickly so that we can use customized roms i am loking forward for the best of the development from the forum and if anybody have done this plz shere the methods thanks in advance
If you done the research as you said you know you can root 4.1.1, S-off, and flash custom ROMs......

Firstly, all the info you'll ever need is on this forum right here. Going elsewhere is a surefire way to end up damaging your phone, as some of these other sites don't clearly distinguish between the Evita (One XL) and the Endeavoru (One X).
Secondly, there are working methods to root and s-off this phone on the 3.18 firmware, and they've been available for quite some time now.
