This post is for anyone newly rooted and looking to flash a custom rom.
There is a popular AOKP rom out there named Ice Cold Jelly. From what I have heard, it is a well designed, full-featured rom, but you should be aware that it was created for the quad-core Tegra 3 version of the One X. There is no version of ICJ for the dual-core S4 One X/XL. [Edit: There is now--see below]
What's worse, however, is that attempting to flash ICJ on an S4 One X/XL may permanently brick your phone. This is because the two processors use different partition layouts. What happens when you try to flash ICJ?
absolutelygrim said:
The biggest problem with ICJ is it writes a kernel for a completely different processor to p4, 5, 6 and part of p7.
P4 is one of the most crucial partitions for these phones. It overwrites p4 with what is basically crap. Killing the phone.

P4 is the extended partition table. When you overwrite that, the CPU has no way to find the OS. So it simply stops and goes into what is known as QHUSB_DLOAD mode.
If you are on 1.85 or earlier firmware, there is a fix for this problem though it's a bit tricky [EDIT: Maybe not--we've got at least one report of a 1.85 phone perma-bricked by ICJ]. If you are on 2.20. however, there is currently no known way to unbrick your phone [Edit: Other than paying for a jtag fix], and there may never be one. You will have created the proverbial paperweight. I have seen at least 10 people do this since root for 2.20 came out. Please don't add to the list.
Most people who run into these problems get them because they rush things and don't research enough beforehand. Still, if this post saves even one person from bricking, it will have served its purpose.
If you're coming to this post too late, here's the WIP thread for the potential fix.
[Update 12/7/12] The dev for ICJ has added asserts to the rom, meaning it will fail to flash on the S4 One X and nothing will happen (unless you've wiped /system first, in which case the asserts won't do anything). However, as there are plenty of older versions floating around on unofficial sites, it should still be avoided like the plague!
[Update 02/11/13] We've now got a dual core version here. So there's now really no excuse if you bricked.

I just worked with someone who said he was on the 1.85 firmware and flashed ICJ.. No dice, device looks deader than a door nail, besides the fact that I see it going in and out of QDL mode..
No partitions show up, no writable state, nada.

There are warnings all over both forums. The problem is people don't read before they do this, and many of them pick up these roms from random websites and never even come here until they're bricked.

When you start calling people names, you are the one that appears immature and childish, no matter how correct you may be.
The problem is, though, you are not correct. Maybe it only appears as a "simple" mistake to you, probably because you don't care or haven't spent enough time in the forums, but for people who frequent XDA then it has become a cumulative nuisance.
Also, when the majority of users responding in the thread you started is either questioning the logic of your statement or placement of the thread then maybe you need to reflect on what you were trying to accomplish and maybe take into consideration how you can achieve better results in the future. Long story short, try to learn from your mistakes.
Okay, so, International One x won't be compatible because of hardware differences, but what about the One S roms? I just tried flashing the CM9 port for the S, and it flashed successfully but upon reboot the screen was just filled with green graphical glitches. Rebooting back into recovery and attempting to restore my backup of the stock system didn't work at all, so RUU for me... but, why wouldn't a One S ROM work? It has 99% of the same hardware... besides the qHD screen. I remember being able to flash a Droid 3 ROM to my bootloader-locked Atrix 2 and it booting up just fine. What's different here?

LTE radio for one. Probably some other minor differences too.
Arg....seems like the devs have moved on to getting s-off and coming out with new roms and have given up on finding exploits to root 1.85. The threads for root have been empty for a while now...wondering if its time to exchange the phone or return it and want for the sg3?
I know i'm not the only person frustrated for upgrading to 1.85....
I thought you could RUU back to 1.82 if you wanted and then root?

You can. That is what I did. It's pretty simple.
Revert to 1.82, root,
one click superCID
relock in fast boot
ruu 1.85
flash the unlock token from fastboot, it took me a few tries before it took
flash a recovery (twrp is working well for us right now)
and then use the recovery to flash the SU zip file. Then you're all set
Well this is how it works.
Once you update your RUU to 1.85 then install CWM (flashing utility in recovery) You will just flash the Rom you wish this will give you root.
Hope this clears things up?
I'm unclear on the rooted 1.85 but from what I gather you have to have done superCID hack before upgrading to be able to gain root. I believe you have to also have superCID to do ruu to a previous firmware. I may be wrong but if your on 1.85 without superCID I think your SOL for now atleast.

Yes, it's simply amazing how many people will write such non-useful crap that serves no useful purpose.
Look, we've all been there. We all had to learn from the beginning at some point.
I'm also sick of people lobbing ignorant comments my way when it comes to some of the things I do for others, especially here on xda. Case in point ...
Over the last three days I've prepared a 36-page manual that describes, in great detail, how to do virtually everything on a ONE X. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678308
It's sad when, after working an average of 70 hours per week as President an owner of my LED lighting company, plus having a 2-1/2-year-old at home, who's a wonderful challenge, plus having issues with my 82-year-old mother suffering from Alzheimers, I still MAKE time to help others, most especially here on xda. Why? Because it's the right thing to do. As I said above, we've all been there, and I'm quite sick and tired of so many others (THEY shall remain nameless), who can't spend a few extra seconds of their precious time to provide a better explanation than the simple "just do it in fastboot," or "use adb," etc.
Yes, I've now learned exactly what these two simple statements mean, but it really would have been nice, and far, far, far easier not just for me, but everyone if, instead of saying the following ...
flash it in fastboot
...they instead said something like ...
open a command prompt, navigate to your adb folder, and flash in fastboot using the following line:
fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxx.img
Wow, it took me an extra 10 seconds. Oh, my goodness, my fingers are now so sore. I think I'll head to the hospital. Be back later.
Peter
P.S. And don't anyone dare tell me, like someone did yesterday, that I should basically shut up and stop "sassing" (their word) the developers because they work so hard at what they do. You know, I probably work as hard if not MUCH harder than most of them, yet I will always try my very best to give some of my time to others. Again, as I said above, it's the right thing to do. You know, maybe if more people did just that, the world wouldn't be so full of self-centred, egotistical ingrates.

Or didn't wait enough. Don't update official firmware without knowing if existing root methods will still work, unless you are willing to live with the consequences.

I didn't understand how to flash a new ROM or anything, but I went ahead and tried. I flashed several different boot images and recoveries so I don't even know where to begin. I flashed recovery-clockwork-5.8.4.0-endeavoru and tried to use the boot.img from the link I posted. Now I can't boot into recovery or restart my phone or even do a factory reset. I'm afraid that I messed everything up to the point where I need a new phone or something. I know I should have spent more time with this before diving into it, I was just excited. Is there anything I can do? I'm sorry if my problem is vague..

first of all, you flashed a ROM and recovery not meant for your phone. Our One X is a snapdragon based phone codenamed evita.
can you get to boot loader anymore?
if so relock it
then install the factory RUU that matches the version you had before, probably 1.85
then spend about 2 or 3 weeks reading the threads in OUR development section before you unlock the bootloader and flash anything else.

This mistake is very easy to make for someone who just bought a phone. I know that the credo at XDA is rtfm but the mods of the respective forums really ought to make the effort to make the distinction more obvious.
HTC and AT&T should have done that.
Seems pretty self explanatory to me.

HTC one x Themes and apps..

I know I made the same mistake in my first ROM flashing experience. And I even knew that ROMs for the International One X were incompatible! I just had no idea what "endeavoru" meant.
Since then, I've been keeping track of many HTC One X terms, which I highly recommend the original poster take a peek at.

Revolution HD seems to be a popular ROM for the International One X. Maybe they should explicitly note in the OP that it will likely brick an AT&T One X if flashed (if they don't already!)

I have an AT&T One X though i'm not even in the US and i'm considering rooting for a few reasons. I've been gathering my info and thinking it over before i decide to even try. I've read the pros and cons of rooting on a number of sites and i know most people here will be pro (if not all) lol.
What i read:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237 -Top guide, will rate now that i am registered, a bit overwhelmingly though
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619153 - [Newbie Guide] adb/fastboot/bootloader/android 101
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784459 - HTC One XL Terminology Glossary v1.2 [2012/09/30] (filled in a few of those missed stuff)
Also the Wiki and some other random threads
For the rooting process: I spent a few hours reading most of djrbliss and hasoon2000 's rooting threads (because i'm on 2.20) and i'll go rate and thank them too even if i don't root in the end.
So basically what i actually want to know is there anything else i should look into before i get started?
I'm also undecided on a ROM as yet because i need it to have a few certain features though i'm not sure they are available in all or none
1) Ability to backup apps and app data (I believe Titanium Backup Does this, but i mostly wanted one to use BEFORE the rooting process)
2) Get rid of that bloatware (It's not really an issue as it can be disabled) but for the very least switching out the boot screen will work
3) Probably the most important is getting OTA updates (I can't get them in my country, because i'm not on ATT) and if i have to wipe to do an update i might as well switch to a ROM that doesn't have that problem.
Post is really long now that i look it over lol, thanks for reading.
Man I'm glad you've been doing research, it sounds like you at least have a grasp of what's gonna have to happen. You didn't mention if your on att, telus, rogers, ect. Att users have to go through the entire process, while all other carriers can just unlock through htcdev and flash twrp (recovery) then superuser (root).
Follow the guides carefully, don't be tooo nervous... if you get stuck, don't panic and start resetting everything... taking an extra minute to ask us on here will save you sometime later.. good luck
EDIT: sorry I just seen you stated your not on att... follow directions on htcdev... you'll be good

I followed the HTC One X All In One Kit, and it doesn't seem to get the job done.
I get CID 111....
I got my code from HTC Dev
I drop bootloader unlock on there
but when I get to the recovery portion it says that it transfers correctly etc,
However, when I am in boot and click 'recovery' , i get a white HTC splash screen that says "quiety brilliant' that you normally see, but with some red disclaimer text below. It just hangs there until i do something.
What is wrong?

Well i'm on a local carrier in Trindad, but it's the AT&T One X, unlocked of course. So i would still have to do the entire process right? Or have i been wasting all my time overthinking this? -_-

From fastboot type "fastboot oem getcid" if it shows CWS__001 then yes you have to do the entire process.
Moderating from my One Xl
Or fastboot getvar cid.

So you've completed the process on htcdev, and they emailed you the unlock token? Drop that in your fastboot/adb folder and use the command prompt that htcdev says (sorry I forget) ..
Once you do that you'll be bootloader unlocked... nothing fancy here yet... if your NOT on att, you should be able to download goomanager from play store and install recovery script.. now we playin with the puss! Download SU zip, install (flash) through recovery. Now you should be set up for flashing the goods..
Fellow xda'ers, please correct any wrong info I provided as I'm slightly buzzed lol

Okay, so it's been over a month and i finally got around to checking the CID and it's " CWS__001" as expected.
Will look to use Hasoon's tool and post my updates.
Thanks for the help from everyone so far.
Moving slowly as i was waiting to see the AT&T 4.1 update and still not seeing the ROM that i want for certain.

If you mean you are waiting to receive and install the JB OTA, you shouldn't wait. See item 2 on the following post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181929

I was waiting to see what it contained. Nothing I can use here in Trinidad. Since I have to wipe to update anyway I'll be looking for a better os. Clean ROM appears to be closest to what I want though i kinda need the OTA.
Will get to hasoon's tool soon enough.
Hey, quick question:
Is there a listing of ROMs where i can see what each one does? I kinda understand what CleanROM and Senseless do but most of the rest i don't understand. Searched around for what i'm asking for but i mostly just get a listing of available ROMS.

The OP for each (usually) gives a complete summary. I don't think anyone has collected them all, which would be pointless anyway because the devs are always updating them.

Okay thanks, i only asked because i think i saw one for the Endeavour. Will keep searching through.
Redpoints collection has most of the roms that are for our device with the exception of wildchilds Rom... Also you shouldn't find any intl one x roms in our forum I don't see any

Yep, i know about redpoint's guide, i have it open almost constantly, but it doesn't provide a description of what each ROM does, have to read through as Elvis suggested.
It's on XDA just not in this forum, it showed up as a result when i tried a google search.
Well I can tell you if you haveny noticed in original dev section most roms if not all are cm10.1 based or aosp based... In the regular dev section they're mostly sense 4+ roms with each having its own tweaks

those are my rom lists for the evita
please give thanks if these files are helpful, if not i think ill take them down and post them a different way.
Thanks to Divine and box (i'm not going to call you kittens :silly.
Something that just occurred to me though; do the telus and rogers ROMs have the restriction on tethering, reverse tethering and other android features? I noticed most of the developers are working from the AT&T ROM base which seem to have those restricted. (I could be misinterpreting)
Thanks Divine for that list, a bit confusing at first but i'm closer to my ROM choice. Still have a few questions:
1) Does cleanROM provide an OTA service? Or do i have to factory reset to do an update every time?
2) Viper seems to be highly rated for it's stability and features, however can i turn off all those themes? Plus what are all these features? I'm not sure i need them.
3) Rebelrom Senseless seems to be interesting too but what is the advantage of being closer to stock Android on an HTC device?(This one might be subjective)
4) I'm also liking the look of Hakta, so i'm asking if this one has OTA or have to factory reset to update as well?
I would ask the developers themselves but i'm too unimportant to post in their threads or pm them lol.
Thanks again to anyone who has the time to answer.
@ box YNWA! Though i'm not a Chelsea hater lol.
@ Divine that second link is hilarious, but you should warn persons about the volume of the first one, it almost blew my eardrums off. (I only use headphones)

1) clean Rom does not provide an ota service but you could expect one more full update for it then it'll be done with updates fir a while
2) viper comes basically stock it has a whole variety of themes you can choose..from my experience it's been amazing and great battery life with a great equalizer too for music(uses telus base I think)
3) rebel Rom keeps the sense camera and some other stck sense applications ..it basically gets rid of the sense launcher and you'd be on nova or your choice of an alternative launcher.. great battery life
4) hatka..is an interesting one, from my experience I didn't have any bugs and the audio is great with acid audio
Side notes: only one actual custom Rom is running the att jb base and that's clean Rom.. I think tethering works on every Rom but I couldn't promise..
And just consider yourself a loser unless you hate chelsea!
I've been a hatka user for quite some time and I must admit it is near flawless. It uses many battery/performance tweaks and when paired with elemental it's just beautiful. Plus it's the only rom with built it AC!D which is pretty much pure sex coming out of your headphones. Hope this helps!

I have an AT&T HTC One X, with android 4.1.1. I had been scouring the internet for about three weeks now trying to figure out how to Unlock the bootloader. I finally figured it out. Then I did a perm root, applying superuserSU and i tried to flash CyenogenMod 10.0.0, and i got stuck in the CyenogenMod 10 loader. So i went back, and cleared the cache and data and dalvik. Then it loaded, and it started at the home scree. It didn't take me through a set up or anything. Then I tried to touch the screen, and it wasn't responsive. I tried re-applying it and what not, and then it just stopped working, the CWM Recovery kept saying it E: Cant Mount /sdcard, and it would have a long list of things it couldn't mount (which was litterally everything, and now I'm trying to just reset it to the stock HTC so i can try again. Can any one walk me through how to reset it?
And this is what happens when you don't read and start doing **** without knowing what you're doing.
So lazy.
If you do enough research in this forum to tell me why your touchscreen didn't work in cyanogenmod. I'll help you get your phone working again.

Not to be rude but OP i agree with exad. You didnt do any reading or research. You didnt ask questions first. But I'll get you to a working phone.
Just go to twrp again. Download viperXL. "Mount" in twrp and drag viperxl onto phone and flash that. You'll boot

Pft inflatedtitan is nicer than me
Avoid cwm it has low compatibility for the one xl. twrp 2.3.3.1 or below is recommended. (but that won't fix cm touchscreen issue)

Then what will? I know, I was overly eager and crap. I get that, but i posted here for help. Not criticism. I'm used to working with Samsung, and Apple. But if you can help, please just say it and don't direct me to another page.

Touchscreen issues are to do with HTC changing the drivers for newer 4.1.1 ROMs. What you want to do is downgrade the touchpanel firmware using h8rift's excellent guide. That downgraded touchpanel firmware will then work with all ROMs and also with newer TWRPs. I'm running 2.5.0.0 with no dramas here.

Also the reason you boot looped in the first place was due to htc's infamous "s-on" security feature. While s-on, you are required to fastboot any img file instead of flashing through recovery. Examples are splash screens, kernels, recovery imgs. If you also follow the super easy s-off thread, this will allow your phone to surpass any security checks, allowing you to simply flash anything you want.
So until you s-off, you have to flash the ROM then immediately boot into boot loader and fastboot flash the boot.img. then the rom will boot up just fine

No worries. If this stuff doesn't seem easy, it is because it isn't. There are no user manuals, support systems or helpdesks. All of us on here are just a community of like minded people. We encourage new members and especially those who are eager to read, learn and contribute.
Good luck with your phone, you will love what you can do with it!

I dissagree entirely. It is easy. If it seems hard, the only reason would be that one did not have the patience to do a little light reading beforehand. And when you flat out give responses to easy questions it only encourages ignorance. The touchscreen issue is posted in just about all aosp Rom op and in stickies and a search would have brought up at least 10 threads with the issue documented aswell.
Honestly it is easy, but there's a lot to learn and watch out for so it can easily be overwhelming. After you toy around with it and see what command does what, what to flash, how to flash it, it gets a lot easier. Just lurk here often and learn the terminology and you'll be successful. You may get called a dumbass but that's because a lot of users here are really sick of people asking the same questions over and over, or they're just blatent idiots.
PS. Use the latest Nightly of CM 10.1, the new 3.4 kernel is supposed to be really slick.
Also, flash the 2.3.3.0 version of TWRP, versions 2.4 and above seem to have problems.

Thanks guys. Like I said before. I'm new to the whole HTC world of modding. Its much different from The GS3 and iPhone 5. I have my phone. Wroking, and I'm running CyanogenMod 10.1 and I have S-Off. Thanks again.
PS. Dude. If you don't want to help, you sound like your so important, so go find some thing better to do if you can't be helpful.

I think he means me D:
I don't think people like it when I point out their lazyness and that they need to read more.
Searching before posting is encouraged here on xda. There are stickies with forum rules indicating so. It's not that I don't want to help people. I just don't want to answer the same questions over and over because lazy people can't take the time to search or check the faq.
No one here is getting paid to help. So do the entire xda community a favor and help yourself first. Then, if after searching and reading through some stickies you still don't know the answer. then post your question.
