hey guys, i screwed up my phone once by flashing the wrong info for the wrong device.
I have the HTC One x Evita for AT&T
and i know the other is called the Endevour or somthing to that effect.
how can we tell which rom is for whitch device, so that no one falled into the same problme i did, i bricked my phone and had to send it in to HTC to get it fixed.
even do the post says HTC One X does not mean it is for your phone, some devs do somtimes post if it is for the International Version or the Evita, but not everyone does so.
what other way can we tell the difference.
Just looking out for the community so no one gets into my problem
Thank guys
I think as long as you're mindful of the forum that you are in, you should be fairly safe. Just make sure you're in the 'AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL' and not the 'HTC One X' forum. I spent a few days lurking the 'HTC One X' forum not realizing there was a difference. I'd make sure that I read the ROM description as well.
I don't believe there's a way to tell once you've downloaded a ROM to distinguish the difference, but I'll leave that up to someone more knowledgeable.
so the 'AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL' is the one to be searching in? and not the HTC One X Forum.
so the 'AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, and the Telstra One XL' are the same?
So many people have bricked their phones by flashing international roms you're not the only one and no offense it's a matter if reading and actually looking around...first thing that should startle you when you got your phone us say wait I thought this was a quad cote and that should have driven you to more investigation...we appreciate this post from you but there's been many pages and threads started to tell people not to flash those roms....trust me there's a hundred others that have done the same as you

Unfortunately yeah. My phone, according to Rogers, is the HTC One X which is NOT the same as the International HTC One X. The Rogers One X has the same processor (probably same hardware in general) as the Telstra One XL. Usually here we just called the phone the One XL or HOXL to avoid confusion.
omario8484, I know I am not the only [email protected]#$ LOL, for screwing up there phone, I just know what kind of hassle it is, I am a big fan of HTC Devices,
HTC Shadow was my 1st HTC Device, MyTouch, MyTouch4g, Sensation, Vivid, and now the One X.
I am just looking out for the next guy, believe me when I tell you I have bricked a few phones in my day but I always had a backup, but recently on my 1X I had no backup phone so I ended up borrowing my Sons iPhone for a couple of weeks till mine got repaired from HTC.
did I jump the gun on flashing without reading 100% I did, but I do know there are a lot of people like me who have been doing this for a while now and think they have it all under control and skip a few lines when reading. (My Mistake)
So I just wanted to ask this question just to clear the air so that no one falls into my situation.
I do apologize if this post seems useless I just feel that when a rom is posted there should be a note in the post something that sticks out in big colored leters stating what phone it was tested on quad core, dual core, AT&T branded etc....
Just my 2 cents
again I do apologize

Sorry but I completely disagree. The One X (international) and the One XL (dual core LTE) are completely differently devices and therefore have completely different fora. All of the ROMs for each device are in their own sections. As long as people do the appropriate research and stay in the right forum, there are no problems. Putting disclaimers like that in the ROM threads would only confuse matters. It's really not that freaking hard. Read before flashing, it's a simple and easy rule to abide by. So many morons just flash away without even researching. It really boggles my mind and drives me mad to see so many people flashing international ROMs on this device. So easily avoided with half a brain.

I Really want to get a new HTC phone so i could get rid of my blackberry. I used to have a touchpro 2 and loved it!
so ive been researching both the rezound and one X but i can't come to a conclusion of which one to get... just looking for some opinions.
Thanks
(You are on the One X forum, people will ALWAYS say that you should buy the One X)
Anyway, the Rezound is a phone from last year (not even the best one). The HTC is currently the best phone on the market equipped with enouf hardware to last the next 1-2 years without a problem!
I'd go for the One X unless money is really the issue, then go for the Rezound. But if not : One X all the way.
I've also posted this on the rezound found and there are mixed reviews(some say one x and other say rezound) so it doesn't really matter where i post
Sorry but such threads belong in the General General forum.
Cheers
i got my htc one x today and what a phone you wouldnt be disapointed if you got one
How can you even compare the two. One works for cdma, one doesnt..
Depends on your carrier, If verizon, rezound, if not A one X variant. Rezound could still hold its own today and probably will for a while. But that one X is sexyy
So, both AT&T and Rogers are getting the HTC One XL, but they are going to call it (and market it) as the HTC One X. Even though they look identical, they will run diffrent firmware because of the diffrent SoC (Qualcomm S4 Krait dual core prossesor vs. Tegra3 Quad core processor). Because of the diffrence in firmware, we have split up the two forums.
So again, this is the place for the AT&T/Rogers branded versions of the HTC One X. Please do not post new threads or questions in the One X forums as we do not want there to be cross-contaminated threads going on, they belong here.
Thank you for your cooperation and sorry if there is any confusion. Have a nice day.
I wish I saw this before my sleepless night of trying to figure out how I got stuck in a hboot loop when flashing a custom recovery and trying to root lol.
Many hours later, I realised I had the one XL and simply had to revert using the AT&T stock RUU
Here's to hoping my time running the stock rom won't last much longer
Damn I am on the same boat... I try to flush and stock in hboot loop too. Which RUU did you end up using?

Open the .exe and make sure that it fully started.
Don't click anything, just go to windows icon and search for %temp%.
You will now find some folders, just search through these folders for the ROM.zip.
If you found it, you can copy it to your desktop or somewhere else.
Extract it with WinRar,7-zip or something like that and take the boot_signed.img and system.img.
Now copy the two files into the folder where the fastboot.exe is placed (if you have installed the Android SDK, it should be in platform-tools)
Plug in your One X, go into the bootloader and go into fastboot mode.
Navigate with the cmd in the folder with the fasboot.exe and the two .img's.
Now type in that:
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
After that:
fastboot flash system system.img
If everything worked, just reboot:
adb reboot
Evo 4G LTE
Is this forum where the Evo 4G LTE is going to be also?
... and is that why there is a Galaxy S III forum and not a Evo 4G LTE.
I think it would be easiest to have the parent forum be renamed One XL
as the 32gb xl that's showing up in other parts of the world (like in australia) will also be PJ83 devices.
branding the forum 'AT&T One X' is a bit rediculous.
I think it was supposed to be "One XL & AT&T One X", but the admins didn't completely understand.
It just needed something signifying "AT&T One X people here"

One X NAM would also suffice (North American Model)... NAM was a common moniker used back in the day for a lot of european models altered for to support north american bands.... eg: N95/N95 8Gb by Nokia (as just an example)
would it not be easiest using the processors to tell? s4 on one forum, and t3 on the other. this way names and internal memory sizes don't matter.
Htc one x t3
Htc one x/xl s4 lte

this wouldn't work because russia and/or others may get the s4 model, but named the xl. we'll have the one x int, one x at&t, one x rogers, one xl int, and perhaps different memory inside (16gb or 32gb). this is to many variants that really can be solved by either going off the processors or the "lte" label.
to make matters worse, the one x forums have ZERO stickies denoted the rogers or at&t variant!
I messaged the mods about this a few days ago, didn't get a response.
"HTC One X LTE"
Nice and simple.
I agree that naming the forum "AT&T" is ridiculous. This is not an AT&T-exclusive device.

The problem with the real XL model is that the s4 type has almost been up in the air due to the problems with TSMC's 28nm process and the lack of chips available to manufacture the devices. By Q4, we might see some pretty hefty BOM (bill of materials) changes compared to our devices. The changes might be as different as our devices are to the tegra 3 One X's (probably not that excessive, but you know what im getting at) lol

They should just name the forums HTC One X (Quad-Core Tegra 3) and HTC One X (Dual-Core Snapdragon S4)
Those are the 2 major differences right? If you dont know if you have a dualcore or a quad, then you probably shouldn't be on XDA...
(grated that those actually are the names of the processors)
Yes, but the main difference people are looking for is LTE.
Also it's the S4 snapdragon, not the S3

Sorry, but no. A lot of people don't know what CPU their phone has. It isn't necessarily common knowledge. But that doesn't mean you can't be interested in rooting or custom ROMs.
Everyone, however, will know if they have LTE or not, since it's blatantly advertised.
So I'll say again, "HTC One X LTE" is the perfect name for this forum. There's no reason to make this more complicated than it needs to be.

But only providers with LTE will provide the dual core version.
"Do you have the new LTE iPad?"
"Do you have the new iPad with the A5x?"
Which one do you think people will know?
Is calling this section "AT&T HTC One X" really justified? I mean, the phone is also available in Australia and AT&T doesn't even exist there. This section should be called either "HTC One XL" or, as suggested above, "HTC One X LTE". Calling it "AT&T HTC One X" is just plain wrong unless you want to add in Rogers and Optus or Telstra or whoever it is that will be launching the device in Australia.
Hi people
Here is a suggestion, is it possible to merge this forum with HTC One X?
We can have two different dev section all under HTC One X, but I think for the general, accessories and others, they are almost the same (I know the camera, bottom of the phone and the length are different but its not a lot)
Why I suggest this?
The info are separated in two places. Several people are discussing the LTE version in the Int'l HTC One X, and some discussions are here. It's hard to look for infos...
also for devs, it can gain more attentions on the LTE one,
Does this happened before?
Not sure, but we can take Galaxy Nexus as Example, there is only Galaxy Nexus forum, but when you click in, you can see
galaxy nexus general
accessories
GSM Dev
LTE Dev
Themes & Apps
I think one x forum can follow the same path
one x general
accessories
GSM Dev
LTE Dev
Themes & Apps
how do you think?
I read in reviews that the size of the two phones between the internationa and US version are slightly different. That the metal connections on the back are slightly different too. SO that means that accessories won't be cross compatible.
So my vote is not to combine the threads.

I agree, it will reduce confusion between the too anyway.
I agree w/ not combining threads. The two phones have different pins, different processors (thus different battery life), different storage sizes, and different radios. Many of the problems for the international version are unique to the international version, and the same for AT&T.
From a general discussion perspective, because we can't generalize a problem from one version of the phone to another, having them in the same forum really just promotes confusion.
if anything this should be merged with the one xl, if htc releases that phone
Why not just leave it as is?
There's already a ton of discussions in the international forum, merging the two now that the LTE model is just taking off is going to cause a lot of confusion.
And as was mentioned above, TPU cases aside, accessories are going to be completely different.
Because of all the small differences between our models, it's probably better to keep the forums separate.
The reason people are discussing the LTE model in the international forum, and vice-versa, is because the forum names aren't clear.
There are various hardware and software differences that make this not a great solution. You could say "why don't we merge with the One S folks, they've got the S4?"
Developers are smart. They'll make their way to the One S or One X sections when they need to pull resources. I promise!
No.

EXACTLY how it should be set up....the Inspire/Desire HD should have been set up like this also, except their dev sections actually could have been put together also....
General and Q&A is a given...
accessories will nearly ALL fit (soft cases definitely will, hard cases are still up in the air)
and who cares about the pins not lining up with cases?? You have to remove the case for a Dock anyway...
themes/apps should all work (pretty much across all sense 4.0 devices)

This specifically has been asked and requested, but the short answer was "no" so were going to have two separate forums... one for the S4 Qualcomm w/ LTE processor model (XL) and one for the Tegra3 model.
Perhaps in the future if things get too confusing, they might be merged, bot for now and the foreseeable future, its going to remain the way it is.
What might help is proper wording/titles of the forums...

Something like those may be good. Any other carriers? If it's just Rogers and AT&T it should be okay.

I like the first option. So far, the only versions Ive seen to have the S4 in it is AT&T and Rogers. Perhaps some other European countries are getting the S4 model for LTE?
Possible release on Telstra (AU). Other than that, we should be good.
It needs to stay split. It would cause even more solution "Hey, where is the forum I've been using for weeks?"
and merging the general wouldn't work, half of the international One X forum is full of Tegra 3 issues, and that wouldn't concern the S4 owners. And when we get our issues, it won't concern Tegra 3 owners.

While it's only AT&T and Rogers right now, the XL is slated for release in Australia and Hong Kong as well, so we'd be facing another name change when that happens lol

Hmm, you have a point there. Nobody calls it the One XL so everyone is confused, however people will know if its LTE enabled or not... so calling it the "HTC One X LTE" would be diffrent from the HTC One X and would clearly diferintiate the two models.
Having multiple versions of the same phone in a single forum is a disaster. Look at the i9100G, MK250, and i9100. They all share the same exterior but they are three totally different phones with completely different radios. Everyday multiple people hose their phones by flashing the wrong s/w. The same would apply here.
You're also looking at an unmolested device (X) vs. a carrier molested version (XL). Until the AT&T phone's out in quantity no one knows the extent of the changes they've made. A lot of the HTC bundled apps are gone and there are tons of AT&T apps. The X will be updated directly and a lot more often than the carrier version(s) and that'll start dozens of threads on "when are we getting the update?" and "I can't get this update to work on my phone." And frankly, I went with an unmolested device so I don’t have to hear about the AT&T specific device and network *****ing that’s inevitable. I feel sorry for the Rogers’ folks who are along for the ride.
Separate is good.

i opt for the second
I just got my one s yesterday and yes it does have the 1.7ghz s3 but I don't care to much coz with the overclocked speed there isn't a big difference but the one thing I am worrying about is updates I'm currently on 1.11 which I think is a pretty old firmware so I'm just wondering if anyone has got info on when we will get the update? Or if anyone with an s3 is on a different version to me.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
well I think that HTC made a big mistake in naming this S3 version just "one S" like the original one because it's a lot of counfusing, basically this is another phone you cannot get the same updates of the S4 version. I think that it would also be better if here on the forum there would be 2 different section one for S4 and the other for S3 ...
Yeah I kinda agree we deffo need another form or atleast section I am really enjoying this phone its quick and I like it a lot the thing I am worrying about is updates but then again there is the s4 one x and tegra so if u look at it like that they have basically just done the same for the one s.

Well on some sites, like gsmarena you can see it is named HTC One S C2., so I think it is more of a salesman's problem, cause they don't know what they are selling. There might be a different secion if we started to have some progress on the development. I am trying to make stock rooted flashable version of a rom. When this is working, there will be some starting point. For now we have root access, and TWRP recovery. This is a goood start if you ask me, my previous phone still got only root method, and eve that I had to figured out by myself .

I agree with light_n_roses that HTC made a mistake in just calling it "One S". HTC themselves should have called it the One S C2 or something because giving it the same "One S" name has given potential for confusing the retail channel, especially in markets where both versions might be available.
It is my sincere hope that this has not been a deliberate attempt to substitute an inferior specification product rather than putting forward one with a different name that would be easily distinguished by a buyer. But that might impinge on their ability to sell the One S C2 at the same price as the (S4) One S.
Hey guys, i have an HTC One X that i got from rogers. My question is whats the difference between this forum and the other HTC One X forum. Would i brick my phone using the other forum? Whats the main differences between Rogers HTC and the other HTCs?
Nvm, figured it out myself. The Rogers HTC has a Snapdragon S4 processor while the international has a Tegra 3. I have my question answered, thanks.
Yes you'll brick your phone if you go to the other forum. You have the HTC One XL (Evita). For some reason the north American carriers decided to incorrectly market the phone as the One X which has caused a bit of confusion. The main difference is that the hardware is completely different, they look alike but on the inside (where it matters) they're worlds apart. Anyway, stay in this forum and you'll be fine.
