I'm about to make the switch from the GS3 to the asian/international htc one xl (x325s) and i just to know one more thing: root.
I've read here that root is NOT possible on anything later than SW version 1.85. according to the store i'm purchasing it from, its shipping with either 1.88, 1.89 or maybe even 2.20 (highly unlikely).
would it still be possible to root the phone?
Thanks
The currently unrooted One XL applies only to the AT&T carrier branded version. All others can be unlocked thru htcdev.....

I see. so the international one xl, once unlocked from htcdev, can be rooted regardless of its software version? i ask because i searched the forums and saw that the >1.85 root restriction apply to the telestra (aus) one xl as well.

Damnit. Just finished setting up my girls one s refurb today. I can't really tell her not to do the update. Sigh... New hboot and there goes the custom stuff.
Thanks for the heads up.

I don't think we've gotten a leak for 4.1 yet. I think it was just ported from the international One X of the Evo 4G LTE.

Well it sucks to be with AT&T then. But One XL has already got Sense 4.1
You linked to the T-Mobile One S update not a AT&T one. Perhaps all your delays are AT&T?

Who cares about Sense 4.1. The One S update for T-Mo is still Android 4.0.4 which we already have. I want Android 4.1 (which comes with Sense 4.5). Skip this Sense 4.1 BS. If AT&T does release this Sense 4.1 update, it means we will not get next real update anytime soon. So, it is actually good news for AT&T users.

If they plugged up the hboot holes like they did on the One X, I would absolutely tell her not to update.
We might be getting something soon since developing sense takes a while (Im assuming). Maybe they've been working on it for a while now? I just want jellybean to find an exploit.
My theory with our new hboot was to stop dev for the iphone 5 release and to push the sgs3, since apple, samsung and at&t are in bed together all the time.
The decent thing to do and probably what will happen is the next real update we get will have relaxed hboot.
Are any other htc phones in the same hboot situation?
All hboots have been equal for all regions based on Rom release date. Eg all roms from 2.20 era have hboot 1.14 with exact same limits.
Radio, dsp, WiFi and the Roms themself all basically are just the same progression of the same thing. No region has special treatment they all just periodically are getting similar updates. Some carriers are holding some updates up, eg Telstra delayed their 4.0.4 update by 2 weeks(2 weeks ago, it should be out this week)
Only difference for all other regions is HTC offer unlock tokens for bootloader.
Hello everybody
I am not using AT&T Sim card but got an AT&T branded HTC one x.
Is there any remote possibility for me to get HTC jelly bean build sooner than at&t releases it officially via OTA ?
I am fine with getting it unofficially.

Please read my post again.
I have mentioned HTC Jellybean version.
When its out we will have it.. so far nothing has been worth it. I have a feeling it will be out very soon
Sent from my Nocturnal Evita
The Update is rolling out! :laugh:
In Serbia & Croatia and other countries, for free k2ul.
You can follow the happening from here.
Usually HTC is updating free k2ul (with LTE) first. If all is fine, free k2u are next, together or followed by provider k2ul.
After that, cricket & boost get the update.
At least they did this way for the 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update.
Pictures: Look at this post
==================================================
You need to get back stock, if you are rooted and have custom recovery/rom:
S-On, you have to S-off your device and do the S-off guide
S-Off you can do from the beginning like told here.

HTC One SV Android 4.2 & Sense 5 Update Appears Likely

I hope (and believe) of course this will come, but its not confirmed officially.
And i don't think it will come before august/september. All before would be a real suprise cause even the update for HTC One isn't released officially. Then will follow OneX, OneX+...
But there are rumors that One S maybe don't get it (technical issues). That would be heavy for them.
Other news say, we get Android 4.2.2 without Sense 5:
HTC One X, One X+, Evo 4G LTE and Others Getting Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5 Upgrade
HTC Upgrade List, Who’s Getting Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5?
Here's a video about Android 4.2.2 & Sense 5. Its from HTC One, but features are almost the same (except some things like Zoe or so):
So let's start here a discussion thread about the update to Android 4.2.2 & Sense 5.

They will probably get it eventually via dev / mod roms, have you tried that CM10 rom for the boost one sv over on android forums ? I was thinking about trying the rom only on my phone, I know the kernel wont work as its for boost.

For sure. But it states the end of official lifetime.
Here in germany people always say "don't buy the One SV, buy the One S, cause the SV will get no updates". That news was a little bit funny for me :angel:

No, exactly because the kernel will not boot. But as far as i know, bkcokota is working on CM and i pushed him to simon's thread to have a look.
Guys, anyone has any info about 4.2.2 update for One SV? HTC ditched One S. So wondering if SV has the same fate...

Football is continue claiming that there will be an update.
A german "insider" is sure there will be nothing.
To make it clear: atm we don't know anything for sure!
But related to One S: it was canceled because of their different processors. Qualcomm does no longer support the S3 version. And before they only update the S4 and user are asking "why does he get an update and i not, we have both One S", the have canceled.
But this problem don't exist on our phone!
So let's hope and keep fingers crossed.
There's article on gottabemobile: "HTC One SV Android 4.2 Update Pegged for “Near Future”"

Most people go with the flagship phones or the cheaper (Desire X). Most time people complain about resolution, but when you used to 800x480 (like you and i from Desire S times) its not a problem i think.
But all in all i would say the most devs are working on the flagships.
It is clear that our model is not very popular. If by the end of summer does not release update, then it is likely that 4.2.2 will not.

And as i have heard, the HTC One mini will also have the same processor and 1 GB Ram. So also not a big alternative/difference in 4,3" phones. Better screen, but no sd card, so i'm staying with lovable One SV.
But lets come back on topic, please!
The One SV stands in between the One V and One S in terms of specs(hence it's name),and if the One S isnt getting an update,there is a high chance that the One SV won't get one
But we cannot miss the fact that it was launched after the One S so there is some hope for this device
