CM10...possible with 4.0.4 update?

So I just got this phone 2 weeks ago. I am familiar with rooting and running a custom ROM. I want CM10 Jelly Bean. From what I've been reading on here though is that there's no secure method of doing so with this update installed. Can anyone advise me, or point me in the direction to achieve this properly and safely?

If you are on 2.2 and you never unlocked the bootloader you're stuck until a way to root 2.20 is found.

Even if you do get rooted and bootloader unlocked, you won't get LTE. There's some weird bug where LTE breaks if you flash from 4.0.4. You need to flash from 4.0.3 or earlier to get LTE.

Well I got up today proud of myself for having made the decision to go ahead and root my AT&T HOX.
I have a 32 gig 10 inch Toshiba Thrive that is rooted running ICS. Then I discover there are several HOX models....and several firmwares.With sweaty palms I swiped one finger down and shaking almost too much to hit ABOUT scrolled on to the bitter truth of 2.20.502.7...
This phone cannot be rooted.
Now I must try to gather myself and use the technique I am lacking the most in.... Patience.
So Fredfly, I'm sure someone here can tell you better than I but as far as I can judge if your bro's firmware is like or higher than mine just take a number and have a seat.

I'm in the same boat Jonathan... just got mine this week and it's 2.2. Does anyone know if there is anyone working on rooting 2.2?

People are working on it but that doesn't mean it will ever be cracked. We can only hope.

What version of the HOX do you have? The AT&T version? If the firmware is below 2.20, then you have a plethora of methods you can use if you simply look in the dev section. If you're so inclined, you can use the guide that I wrote for the Telus version in my signature. The attached software should work for the AT&T as well as the Telus and Rogers versions as well.

If you got your one X from Rogers then you're fine. First go to htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader. Then flash TWRP recovery (evita version) . Then put the zip file for a custom rom into the sdcard, boot into TWRP recovery, and install it. Then do a factory reset from TWRP and reboot. As a first rom to try, I recommend CleanROM or VIPER XL.

Hey guys thanks for the advice. I looked at HTC dev and its exactly the same as the one s. I checked my brother's firmware this weekend and its 1.8... I will attempt to root and unlock this weekend. Also thanks for the Rom recommendations. I will probably put viper on his phone as I am familiar with the venom team and know they do great work.

Its not firmware 2.20 and above. Its only firmware 2.20 that is unrootable (at this time). Its all about AT&T. Every other carrier is allowing the bootloader to be unlocked via HTCDev.com.
There have been a few version numbers higher than 2.20 (2.23, 2.29, 2.33). AFAIK, they can all be bootloader unlocked.

one x wont accept updates.

I went to update my htc one x, and it says server unavailable and im on 4.0.3. Im stuck...

You are almost certainly better off by not doing any OTA updates from at&t.

If OP has any desire to root and flash custom ROMs, I agree. Just root and unlock bootloader now. Then update to whatever stock rooted or custom ROM you like.
If OP wants to stay stock, then get the RUU from the HTC website. RUU will wipe the phone, but its a cleaner install than OTA, and less likely to cause problems anyway.

I had the same problem. Download the rom from HTC .com connect to pc and install rom.

[Q] Any way to go back to previous firmware?

Hello.
I recently updated my HTC ONE XL to 4.1.1. I have never rooted/flashed my phone so it was all done standard through Telstra.
I want to revert to the previous firmware, if I have to erase all my data then so be it (even though I don't want to). Reason being is, my WiFi quit working (I sort of fixed it), my videos won't play half the time & the phone feels WAY more clunky now.
Maybe it's time I learn about flashing/rooting?
Thanks!

If you are bootloader unlocked you can flash any firmware meant for our device.
If you aren't BL unlocked, you cannot revert to an older firmware by official means.

Well only on 3.17x roms until patches are posted for Telstra users

New root method for 4.2.2???

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 . . .

Why on earth did you update, if the goal was to get on CM10.1???
I can't understand why folks are so anxious to install a new OTA, when they are already modded. And I don't think you know why you did it, either.
