Flashed Rom & Kernel, no can not sim unlock. Please Help - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Like the topic says. Brand new 1x, flashed Cyanogen rom and rohan kernel. Also rooted obviously.
I bought an unlock code online which didn't work. I knew someone w/ ATT and asked them to get me an unlock code. They did and it was the same # that I bought online. What am I doing wrong here. Ive unlocked plenty of phones before so I know the drill. Please help.

Could you please explain how to do that. I am familiar with flashing using a recovery such as CWM or TWRP. Can that be done that way or do I need to use an RUU on the computer?
Does the bootloader get relocked?

What do you want to do? Go to a Sense ROM? Just go to the Android Development Section and choose one you like and flash it through recovery. Simple as that.

Thanks, I think I'll try that. Doing it the "official" way of using the RUU files always errors out in the end. It doesn't give a reason.
I already put the stock recovery back on, I guess I'll have to put TWRP back to to flash again...
frustrating.... All to just sim unlock my phone... aaaahhhh!!

I didn't want to take any chances with a 3rd party rom that just so happens to have sense built in, I wanted the original OEM software. I was having troubles because I was having a hard time finding the correct RUU file to flash. Look at these file names and try and decipher them:
RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US_1.85.502.3_R2_Radio_0.17.32.09.12_10.86.32.08L_release_262092_signed.exe
Or
RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US-1.73.502.2_2FE6772699D8596307CC997452BB8D25.exe
BUT NONE OF THOSE WORKED!
But I found this: htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012.exe. and it worked. At least this file name has AT&T in it...

The stock pre-rooted ROMs are all posted in Development as well. You could have just flashed one of those from recovery, instead of having to relock/re-unlock the bootloader and mess with RUUs.

Nope. I mean, not this time I couldn't. What you said is 100% true, I "could" of done that, if I was able to access the External SD card within recovery, which I could NOT do. I could not mount it on the computer, nor could I access it within recovery. I kept getting access denied.

sounds like corrupted sd card...you should be able to mount from twrp. Did you factory reset from fastboot at some point or did you have cwm installed ? you may have to format sd

Clean Rom question for Rogers

Hey guys,
Just wondering if I install clean rom on my rogers phone if I will have all the AT&T branding? If so is there any way to remove it?
Also I have rooted and flashed my phone with cwm. How do I got about flashing roms? On my captivate I booted into recovery mode and selected install from sd card. Is there a way similar to that for this device or do I have to use the cmd promt?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
You can use clean ROM I'm pretty sure it's de branded, but I'm pretty sure you will need to get a superCID first. There's a one click method in development. As for flashing yes it is the same, but I would recommend you use TWRP in the place of CWM. You can find a flashable zip in the development section as well. Just flash TWRP through CWM and your all set. Would link the topics for you but I'm at work. Just head over to dev section it's all there. Also if you want a Rogers based ROM I'm using king cobra 1.2 and I like it. Happy hunting.

No reason to change a Rogers phone to superCID. Just flash the rom of your choice in recovery.

back in the early days of he HOX ( a whopping month ago) you had to flash a BASE before you could flash a rom. It has since been discovered we can flash kernels and boot.img in the ROM without a problem.

Wait just so I can get something cleared. I just bought a stock rogers phone I should...
1. Unlock bootloader via HTC Dev
2. Root
3.supercid?????
4. Relock my bootloader and flash 1.85
5. unlock boot loader and flash cwm?
6. Flash rom of choice and profit
I'd like some clarification too
I'm in the same boat. I have a Rogers 1X currently on 1.73
I have rooted the phone and supercid. But I'm curious as to how should I proceed.
What are my next steps?
1. Unlock bootloader via one-click method
2. flash cwm
3. Flash latest cleanroom?
Any help is appreciated
I have Rogers HTC One X on 1.73. I thought it was:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Root
3. Get CWM Recovery
4. Copy Cleanrom ZIP to SD Card
5. Follow instructions on the CleanROM thread.
What is this SuperCID and relocating boo loader stuff about?
Those of us lucky enough to be AT&T customers have to trick HTC into letting us unlock our bootloaders. Supercid lets us do that. If you have a Rogers phone you don't have to worry about Supercid.

supercid is a good safeguard for us since the rogers ruu is a POS. it allows us to be able to ruu an att ruu if something goes horribly wrong.

TWRP is an alternate recovery that is actually supported on our devices.
So you guys all recommend twrp? And I don't have to root first, I can just unlock the boot loader and proceed with the steps listed above? Also I plan on installing clean Rom 4.0 is there anything else I would have to do? Thanks for all the help.

i recommend TWRP because it's officially supported and it's easy to use.
After you unlock the bootloader you can flash a recovery. being rooted doesn't matter since your going to flash a pre rooted rom right away anyways.

There are plenty of other threads that talk about possible ways to fix this.
However, if you can boot in to bootloader you should be able to RUU (and you are lucky you didn't completely brick your phone).

CleanROM is great. The regular version leaves in Sense styling if you like that or the Dev edition replaces some of that with AOSP styling (what I like). Both run very smooth and strip the bloatware from the phone.

This doesn't belong in this section, and it has to be moved to Q&A section.
But nevertheless, did you try relocking your phone and install new firmware with original RUU? This way you'll know for sure if there is software or hardware problem.

So when you go into your bootloader their is no recovery option? What recovery did you try to install? If your on PC you can use this tool, but before you do anything you should maybe read this big huge awesome helpful sticky.

There is a recovery option but when I go into it a HTC screen appears that says "This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action." I think I used the wronf version of CWM.

That screen is supposed to appear once you've installed a custom recovery. But then it should go into recovery. If its hanging on that screen, then yes there is a problem.
You haven't provided nearly enough info. What firmware version were you on before you unlocked the bootloader (2.20, 3.18, etc.)? What method did you use to unlock the bootloader? How did you try to install recovery? Post links to what you used, so we can see if they were the right versions.

Yea I want to do it. I know how to use fastboot but this is kinda new to me. All the other android phones didn't require so many steps.
TL;DR - I just want to root my HTC and install recovery/customs roms.
All phones are different. Just because you rooted others before doesnt mean they'll all be the same.
Download twrp 2.3.3.1 and flash it then wipe cache with fastboot then select recovery and flash a Rom.
Before rooting a new phone, you should always read the stickies or at least the faq to find out any quirks or steps that need to be taken to achieve what you want.
I've rooted a Sony Xperia, an evo 3d and this one xl. They were all different.

Also remember with CM10 or other AOSP roms you will need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware. And before you do that you have to supersu and s-off. To be honest I went through all this over the past two days, and when i got to the stage your at (rooted, unlocked, custom recovery) I went with RageXL (a sense rom) and got my phone to a stable state, crossed my fingers and did the super-su by hand, then s-off. It was much easier and less stressful once I had a stable and working phone again.

Agreed. OP shouldn't be doing anything to the phone they are not completely sure of. Failure to follow this bit of advice can turn your phone a very expensive paperweight.
Also, be aware that with S-on, you need to extract boot.img and flash from fastboot every time you flash a ROM. Failure to do this is a very common cause for being stuck on the boot (HTC logo) screen after flashing a ROM.

all, but if you're s-on you need to fastboot flash boot boot.img whereby boot.img is extracted from the rom you're flashing.
Yes. I meant to say that I had used fastboot to flash this rom. Satisfied now. Think I this is all I will need for now.
Thanks for the help everyone. Much appreciated.

Lost root!

Some how I lost root while mucking around trying to change recovery for beanstalk 4.4. I never did get it changed since I had computer issues.
Did I really lose it? And is there an easy way to get it back?

So you still have your previous recovery installed? Why not just flash a rooted ROM?

It was a CWM one in the Beanstalk 4.4 forum...was going to flash via adb, BUT I never did it because once I got into
fastboot computer stopped recognizing the phone so I gave up on it.
When flashing any recovery, make sure its the one intended for our device (EVITA not ENDEAVORU) as this is a common mistake. Although, it sounds like your problem was something different.
The official CWM is fine to use (I was using it for a while) although TWRP is more commonly used on this device. On TWRP, if the ROM you are flashing is not rooted, it will give you the option to root it when it flashes, which is pretty nice.
