Some questions before I root ... - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hello every one
I just bought my HOX a few days ago .. came here to read and try to root it .. after some readings, (not enough ) i screwd up !
the bootloader is unlocked, and I successfully flashed the TWRP 2.2.0
didn t now about the tegra and the evita versions , so I tried the first time with endeavoru.img .. failed off course and ended up having the "tampered" above the "unlocked" ligne on the bootloader screen ..
after unlocking the bootloader ( and before flashing the twrp) when I tried to go to recovery via the bootloader , a red triangle apeared .. now that I have the TWRP i can go to recovery mode .. I assume that I can now do recoveries?
could you please tell me if I screwed up big time? or it is not big deal ??
Now I only need to root ... I saw the [TOOL] HTC One X (Evita) All-In-One Toolkit V1.1 [10-28-12] [PERM ROOT][Noob-Proof] thread and I am wondering if I can root it with it ..
If yes , can I go directly to " Extras/Perm Root"?? since I already unlocked the bootloader and installed a recovery ..?
Some info about my device :
Android ver:4.0.3
HTC sense Ver:4.0
Software Number:1.91.661.4
HTC SDK API level : 4.11
Baseband version:018a.32.09.01_2_10.94.32.20L

How about your software version?
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium

you don't have the at&t version so you can htcdev unlock. since you are already unlocked with recovery installed all you need to do it flash a custom rom in recovery, or flash this in recovery http://download.chainfire.eu/267/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip if you want to be stock rooted.

I believe 1.91 is the Telus version and I remember reading that you need to flash a rooted rom in order to root

That s right it s written on the box that it s a telus version ...
Could you suggest me please a rooted rom that i can safely flash in my devise
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium HD app

Once you get bootloader unlocked and install a recovery, then pick the rom of your choice and install. I believe they are all rooted, but someone may correct me on that. If you want a stock rooted rom, then search IN THIS FORUM for a stock rooted rom
Edit: Here is a post on how to root a Telus HOX http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1814914

Thanx a lot dear , and sorry to ask so much questions but i want to make sure.....
Now when i chose the recovery mode in bootloader it ogives me the TeamWin tool , does this mean that i an good to go?
And to flash a routed rom ,i do it with the TWRP ? I dont need the cmd?and the command lines? It s done directly with the TWRP ?
THANX ALOT FOR UR HELP DEAR

Yes. Put the zipped Rom on your sd card. And install it in twrp and you're done.

Hey area51 , you also have a telus one .. thanx for all ur advices .. I am now loocking for the roms .. hard to chose ...
I can flash anyone of them ? regardless of the firmware version ? or the kernel .. etc etc .. the only thing that matters is that the rom is for htc one x (evita, telus) ?? or do I need to be carfull with versions etc etc ??
last question .. Can I do what DevineLord said and only flash the CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip in the recovery ? will that keep my stock rom and make it rooted?

You can flash anything in this forum. Avoid the international forum as those roms will brick your phone. Not sure if flashing supersu works as I never tried. But it won't hurt you to try it and find out. I'm curious too. As far as which Rom to flash. Try them all! Play with the settings in each one and see which suits your needs the best.
We recommend reading the last 10 pages or so of the Rom thread to see what issues people are experiencing

After you s-off'd, did you root and flash a custom rom and not a new kernel?
Need more info. What method did you use?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
No , unfortunally the rooting with gingerbreak does not work , so i only have s-off , not root

Hmmm I'm not an expert and your info is not that detailed... but maybe I can point you in a direction which actually worked for me.
Assuming that you are S-off and root, why not just reset everything from recovery and flash an pre-rooted RUU or a custom ROM and see if that works first. Just like wnp suggested?
Hello, thx for the respons, but as told in previous post , i 'm onl s-off, NOT ROOT
This doesn't sound right, as I thought to get soff you need to get root.
Did you instal CWM as part of soff process ?
What rom version are you on?
What makes you say you are not root?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
No, did not install cwm, read post wrong , thought i shouldnt do it .
Now got root with superclickone....
Will now try to get new rom , wich is the best for desire-s (and by best i mean fastest )
download will not be easy without wifi !
Try a new kernel.

Rooting for software 1.91.661.4

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.

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)

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

You have to ruu back to stock. Supercid stock, relock bootloader.why not just flash one of the stock roms in the dev section. As of now I dont even think there is a root exploit for 3.18 base

Im running the latest viper xl Rom and love it, u never said what hboot you are on. Anything 1.14 and up needs to have a boot image flashed separate. I think viper will flash the boot image for you though. If you need help with that let me know but u really should read more and you will figure this out quick enough

"Because it is new and is from their Carrier" so people will think they need to flash it
Lol lucky he didn't brick or corrupt hboot . There is a version of that here in android to use instead of ota btw
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
To the OP:
-When you take an ota, it tries to reboot to recovery. You have a custom recovery installed, but you have to have stock recovery to install an official update.
-You can flash this thing you downloaded, but it has to be renamed update.zip and moved to the root directory. Then you've got to run a ruu to get stock recovery back on.
-If you have s-on and superCID, installing this OTA will brick your phone.
-The 3.18 ota contains some firmware updates and a new hboot that aren't included in JB roms. But if your phone is running fine, you don't need these.
-You're better off just flashing a JB rom until you understand more about how your phone works.

[HELP] How to Unbrick

Hi guys..i need help here..my friend ask me to unbrick his HTC Explorer..its rooted already..he said its happen bcoz he wrongly deleted software..system file perhaps..so the situation here, its stuck into white screen with HTC logo..i search google, i can unbrick it using RRU..but one of my friend said, RRU cannot be done on unlocked bootloader..so i wanna ask if anyone can guide me, how to unbrick it to stock rom..i dont know whether this phone bootloader unlock or not..how to check it? thanx
EDIT : Done..its unlocked and i just flash any custom rom..is there any pure stock rom that flashable on CWM? or i only can use custom based on stock only?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189199 This is as close as it can be to stock rom, there is pretty much no difference between this and ruu, only installation method. If you want check out this thread also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2225776 this is with the newest official update for explorer

my friend, i tried both, but end it with bootloop..but other custom rom can boot to homescreen..hurmm..but i wanna stock rom..did i need to flash stock kernel first?
That's weird... No, kernel first is not needed for the phone. Can you try first flashing this http://www.mediafire.com/?lim1od8qrjdbblp and after that one of the roms, another idea is to search for a backup of stock rom, then just restore it, I'm sure somewhere here in the forum I saw one, just couldn't find it now and I don't have a lot time, will try again later.Or ask in of the rom's thread, I just have no clue why stock roms don't work for you.

It appears to be the case of soft brick. Just download any custom from of your choice (IMO go for cm9#12) and flash it.

wipe everything via recovery, make sure your bootloader is locked, get into fastboot mode and run the RUU on your PC.
