Hi guys,
I bought my HTC One XL on asian site to use it in France. I'am very happy of it (comming from iPhone
This phone seems to be identical to the AT&T One X hardware but with Asian ROM.
It running Android 4.0.4, with HTC sense 4.1
The firmware version state for 2.42.708.3 (I've seen a Rom mod (stock rooted) based of this version on asian sites)
And basebande version 2.20os.32.09.15_10.113.32.28L
The phone had only 3 languages available (but I have add french without problem)
I've not tested LTE so far (only one band of this phone is in common with French LTE).
Do you think I can root it and change ROM following AT&T One X tutorials ?
Thx,
Vince

No need to. Just unlock the bootloader on HTCDev.com. Then install TWRP (custom recovery) and either flash SU or a rooted ROM to get root.
Extra steps of temp root and changing to SuperCID is only needed on the AT&T version, due to the fact that AT&T's CID does not allow bootloader unlock on HTCDev.com. This applies only to AT&T's CID.
Faites ca^^ bonne chance
Thx for these advises !
I'll wait for the Jelly Bean update at end of this month (supposed to) and check if USB audio is working. If not, I'll change the ROM.
CleanROM seems to me to be a good candidate as I'am OK with HTC Sense so far.
Thanks,
V.

Hello,
can the new HBOOT 2.x be unlocked by the htc software available under htcdev.com/bootloader ?
Are there any advantages in using this software?
thanks in advance!
No.. Htc has not added desire s in their list yet.. Till then wait
I somewhere read that it is possible...
Why don't you give it a shot, I am curious too...

I've also read that someone said that they tried it and even though device isn't in the supported list it worked, but, no evidence was provided and it all sounds unnecessarily risky!
There is currently no need to risk our devices any further like this, as HTC are slowly making progress to unlock them for us. I mean who would have thought that we would have been running official Sense 3.0 a month ago!
But, don't listen to me, if you're willing to take the risk then off you go!
It functioning with latest OTA update. But, we have better solutions

Actually there is no risk. The procedure described at the HTC website leads you to get_identifier_token for your device that you have to send them. Afterwards they send you an unlock code binary file. Then you can decide to use it or not. This is not a reflash procedure - no risk at all...
Also there is no indication that Desire S is not supported. There is said clear enough:
The following 2011 models (Launched prior to September, 2011) will be supported on this web site. Devices in GREEN are currently unlockable, check back often for updates on the unlock status of additional devices:
And the device listed below are all in GREEN
Model FOTA/ROM
EVO 3D (Sprint) 2.08.651.2
EVO 3D (Rogers) 1.20.631.2
EVO 3D (EMEA) 1.20.401.2
EVO 4G+ (Korea Telecom) 1.47.1010.4

Hello! I have HTC One XL Asian version (with LTE 2600Mhz). Asian version still do not have 1.8x firmwares - so I still at 1.77. As we know, this firmware has some problems with multitasking. So i'd like to root and flash custom firmware to solve this problem. There is a question - wich firmware fit for my device? As far as I know, there is a huge difference between AT&T and Asian LTE modems. And because of this fact I can't flash firmware from At&T custom roms.
P.S. My English is really bad, so it's realy hard for me to search this information in English. Sorry.
I also have the Asia version originally with 1.77, i've flashed it with the Asia WWE 1.88 ROM, Telstra, CM9 and Modaco. All seem to work ok with it.
Thank you! Where you got 1.88 Asian ROM? What can you say about CleanROM? As far as I know if I flash this ROM I'll get some problems with modem firmware.
This was linked by someone else in another thread - cant remember where.
http://www.filefactory.com/f/4e1ce47f16313c0d/
These are stock ROMs so you may still get the multitasking issue. Also you will need to superCID your phone to be able to run these RUU.
I cant comment on CleanROM as i've not installed it.
hi guys,
I recently bought an AT&T One X w/ 2.20 firmware.
just wanted to know if I can flash any ROMs on the 2.20 firmware ? I'm a little confused between what is possible and what is not.
If I can flash ROMs, then I possibly dont want to root/unlock. If not, Can I unlock the 2.20 firmware using HTC-Dev (warranty voided) ? I cant seem to find One X in the dropdown at http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
Could somebody help ?

Nope. You can enjoy the phone as stock and that's all. No root, no custom roms

Simple, you can't do jack if your phone was shipped with 2.20.
Since AT&T is not allowing the bootloader to be unlocked by HTCDev.com. The workaround was to change the CID to SuperCID and fool the system, but root is needed to do that.
So you are out of luck until either a root is found for 2.20, or AT&T allows the bootloader to be unlocked. Or if S-Off is achieved.
OK. I got confused because there were all these articles that talked about unlocking the bootloader using HTCDev.
Nothing i didnt expect - any ideas on when HTC will allow bootloader unlock? Im assuming that the launch of One X+ makes this old enough to be let free
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
Hard to say, its all about what AT&T wants. All other carriers are bootloader unlockable out of the box. Its not based on any set policy, and AT&T has not made any announcement on when (if ever) they will allow it to be unlocked. They did a similar thing with the HTC Vivid. But allowed it to be unlocked about 3 months after the phone was released. That time period has long come and gone (One X was released in early May).
Well, I got a AT&T HTC ONE X( it's xl actually ).:victory:
I need to ROOT that.It said that if I want to root that.I need to unlock that first. So I try to unlock the phone by HTCDEV.
One click root not work.
One click unlock not work.
Then there came a error with a error code 160. MID ERROR.
Well,then I read some materials and know that unlocking the phone need to root first...
Okay, now I have been totally confused with that.......
Anyone can tell me how to deal with that?
Oh, my version is 2.20.502.7 710RD.
It said that it is a root-available version?
Please help me , I am not so familiar with them.

If you really searched you would simply have to type HTC one x 2.20 root and find that it is unrootable yet
Hi lucentworld
You don't need root to get a custom rom onto your phone. Once you follow the HTCDEV instructions, then you can unlock the bootloader.
Once the bootloader is unlocked, the phone is unlocked to be able to put whatever custom recovery on it you want
Once you have a custom recovery installed then you can put whatever custom ROM on it you wish.
Just because 2.20 is unrootable, this means you cant get root on the standard ROM. But once the bootloader is unlocked, that ROM goes in the bin anyways.
The HTCDEV way DEFINITELY works. I did it on my sisters One XL telstra without rooting first, she was on the latest unrootable ROM.
Good luck

Thanks for your insult. Hope you get banned for your rudeness.
I did not know ATT blocked unlocking. Here in Australia, we don't have such anal carriers. I was able to unlock my sisters One XL by the HTCDEV way. I was simply mentioning the way that I achieved unlocking. Nice overreaction.
Damn, after reading the guides myself. It looks like you are pretty screwed if you have the ATT One X on that version. I was a bit thrown by the mention of One XL. Here in Aus, we have the One X (international tegra quad core) and the One XL (qualcomm dual core). Its a little less confusing, One X = quad core One XL = dual core. It seems in the states, you have ATT One X = dual core, Rodgers One XL, and International One X

Sorry I had to wake up to do hw and pretty tired...so both versions are in Australia? Why didn't you go with the tegra.?
seuppt hollow
LOL, no probs dude,
The Telstra ver. has LTE
And 3G coverage that covers most of the country
Vodafone, Optus and virgin are left with the One X (tegra)
I am happy with the performance and battery life of the One XL, the missus has a Tegra One X, and I really cant tell the difference. Both were just as hard to Root/Unlock
Good Luck OP :good:
So the only thing I can do is to wait for a method to root the 2.20?
Damn AT&T...00

Best bet for "stock" JB and keeping the rest?
Hi I'm new with android and this is my first post here, I would like to thank you for your support and if any of you more enlightened guys could help me, this is what I have:
Android version 4.0.3
HTC sense version 4.0
Software number 1.85.502.3 71 ORD
Kernel 3.0.8-01155-gca24d1e [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
Baseband ver. 0.17.32.09.12_10.86.32.08L
Build number 1.85.502.3_R2 CL63811 release-keys
Unlocked Bootloader
SuperCID
S-Off
Hboot-1.09.0000
Radio 0.17.32.09.12
The thing is I'm looking for a stock JB which I understand there are only two compatible releases, that being Asian one and Telstra.
That being said, is it possible for me to keep AT&T ICS included keyboards and languages and not to mess with my radio and kernel, just change the OS and remove the remaining carrier crappy software?
I understand I have to make a recovery with TWRP, but then being S-off what would be the best bet to flash the ROM?
Many thanks in advance!

Your radio will stay the same, but the OS will be replaced. You can't keep the old kernel either, as it will be incompatible with JB. I think you are confused about what the OS is. If you upgrade to JB, you can't keep ICS.
Just pick a stock rooted or custom JB ROM from development. Put it on your SD card, and flash it. I don't know what your keyboard and language requirements are, and that may be better asked on the ROM thread (if the ROM has the language & keyboard you need), when you choose one you like.
If you want stock rooted, but minus the bloatware, you might look at CleanROM (or similar custom ROMs that are close to stock) as its very close to stock, just minus the bloat and with some performance optimizations. The Asian and Telstra stock ROMs don't have as much bloat as AT&T, but still have their share of it.
