Hello all! I am currently running an AT&T HTC One X and i'm getting rather tired of waiting for AT&T to get their heads out of each others asses. I have decided to root and flash my phone. I have some experiance doing this with my old Motorola Atrix 2, and LG optimus V. BUT I just wanted to make sure that I could flash the viper 3.2.3 rom without updating to JB.
-Thank you for your time!
What hboot r u on?

If you have your bootloader unlocked and you're rooted (and some other requirements in between), you wipe your system and install ViperXL. I did it and i had ICS just like you. just make sure you do it just as the instructions say. If what you want to get ViperXL but don't like JB (which I doubt is the case) they have an ICS ViperXL too.
BTW they just released 3.2.4 yesterday.

There is no requirement to already have JB before flashing viper.

If you guys remember we got the sense 3 update leaked long before we expected it. I wonder if this will be the same for the ICS update. Anyone wonder if we will get a stable rom before the official release
It depends. We need people to leak the ruu

I rooted my DS and am running Lowveld's excellent Reaper rom, when the HTC ICS update comes out, will I be able to get it over the air or will I need to wait for someone to upload it here........?

You won't get an official HTC OTA update on a rooted phone with a Custom ROM... and if somehow you do manage to get one while on a Sense ROM, DO NOT flash it... you'll end up in a bootloop.
As far as getting to use it, you'll get it on XDA much before people on stock ROMs (if history is anything to go by...). Hell, I think you might be running Sense 4 before HTC decides to give you Sense 3.6 officially.
Google search for details.

Yeah I think we will get 4.0 before 3.6!
I'm sure the RUU for the One V will be out before our RUU for ICS.
Can't wait

There was a post about it in the Tegra 3 HOX section but I tried moving it in system/customize/resource and it just reverted to the stock Android boot animation. I'm running stock rooted DE-OXED AT&T 1.20 btw.

Can anyone make this work for the AT&T/Rogers HOX?

This is in many custom ROMs already. I run CleanROM and it has had it for a while. Pretty cool to see that X, and makes you think it was custom designed for the HOX. CleanROM has that logo bigger and brighter than the Nexus, pretty sleek

It's probably having to do with the location. What rom are you running?

I downloaded this -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28206370&postcount=10
Put it in system/customize/resource, and rebooted with success. Currently running Turge's King Cobra 1.3
Is this possible? I've seen that the update is a .exe file. I'm already rooted and unlocked.

install a recovery. I recommend twrp. To get twrp install goo manager from the play store. After that if you want the pure stock experience without the headaches it can bring install the rooted 2.20 that scrosler posted in dev. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812459

So the rom comes 2.20? Wanted to keep clean Rom...so I have to choice.....any benefits to 2.20?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Nope. If you are happy with clean rom stick with it. 4.5 incorporates the changes that come with 2.20 and android 4.04.

Actually, this is 2.23 with AT&T bits blended in. It also has much of the bloatware removed. Scott has said there is practically no difference between 2.20 and 2.23 except the AT&T Stuff.
If you are still on 1.xx, it would recommend upgrading to 2.xx. The new ones are based on 4.0.4 and an updated Sense 4.0. It it much smoother, better multitasking and I get better battery life.
I would also suggest CleanROM 4.5 SE, since you will still have the stock experience and keep your unlocked bootloader and root.
You can do this without having to use the RUU, so it will be much easier.

the new viper update was not jellybean its was just an update
Also, the JB update for ViperXL (when it comes) would almost certainly require a downloading and flashing a the entire ROM, not just an OTA update.
The viper update was bug fixes. I would assume that turge is working on a jb port but he's a busy guy. I would guess at least a week before we start seeing some stable jb sense ports (besides newts). Personally I can't wait for viperxl with jb

Whoops what sounded like a success story ended in a brick story.
Lets wait and see if anyone can downgrade on their on accord without bricking before I put this back up.
Yeah, would be interesting to see if anyone does this and succeeds where I failed and see what procedural differences there were.

That sounds like you had some random cooked ROM on your phone and not one of the official HTC 3.17 updates that delivered official JB 4.1 to the One XL.
Some random cooked ROM can be changed whenever, there is no story in that.
A phone that has a full 3.17 update including updated firmwares like hboot 2.14 etc is an entirely different story.
Many many users are on official HTC 3.17(JB 4.1) which severely impacts their ability to customize things.
Many are looking for a downgrade path back to previous HTC builds from the 4.0.4 era.

So you are either talking about a JB RUU or a JB OTA right? You are not talking about any of the 3.17 Roms that are in development are you? Just not real clear according to what has been posted so far.

I doubt you have more than a backup of a few partitions(system, data etc) but not the other 30 or so. That is not a "full backup" and would not reverse this issue.
This problem is not caused by the Rom installed on system hence why this is not a simple thing to fix so far. That is why a user that did everything that was previously required to downgrade ended up with a permanently bricked phone that required replacing.
Phones will begin to ship with 3.17 and newer HTC builds everywhere soon enough. Sticking our heads in the sand and thinking this is only an issue to those that accept an ota is very short sighted.
Also HTC is updating firmware things on the phone that could potentially be benefitial to the phone that users avoiding newer ruu and ota will miss. Afaik the dsp firmware is the i/o controller of the phone and has been updated in all HTC updates so far, it is likely more important to the phones correct operation than the radio firmware but is never really mentioned on xda.
