Bootloader/Custom Recovery question

Hi, I've read and searched about rooting or unlocking a refurbished phone should be okay to do, i just want to know for sure if I will be okay. My one x is refurbished and would like to know if I can install viper Rom with no troubles, will I be able to unlock bootloader and flash custom recovery? I just want to be safe

Re: Root question
Depends if you get an att refurbished phone with 3.18 update installed. If you did you can't root.

Well I miss lead on my title, I'll change that in a minute, yes I'm on 3.18 and would that hinder me from unlocking bootloader?

Is it an AT&T phone?
If so, you can't unlock the bootloader, and thusly you cannot root.

Yeah :/ it's at&t lol so I guess I'll have to wait to do this. But if and when I do, should I run into any problems being that I now own a Refurbished phone?

The fact that it's refurbished has no bearing over whether or not it's rootable.

The main point of the question was if I should or shouldn't... If they didn't reset the bootloader or main circuit board I can end up with another brick. That's what I'm trying to avoid this time

There's no reason to not s-off lol. It's very simple to do and takes like 5 minutes.

Helping with root method for 3.18

Okay so I am talking to a dev from the Incredible 4g community. We need all the steps to get a fully working exploit. He knows how to get temp root. What do we need to do after a temp root is established?
This is not me developing this is me letting a dev work with my phone. Any negitive feed back is not wanted. If you want to say anything negitive. Please inbox me.

-hexedit CID to 11111111
-follow the s-off exploit
Once you've got s-off, you can change your CID to 22222222 and use htcdev to unlock. After that, it's just a matter of flashing recovery and a rooted rom.

i liked Doug, i just always thought he was more knowledgeable until people started picking on him. he just seems to be acting like he isn't. i do like that he is being proactive about root methods for jb, which is pretty awesome of him. he does make alot of threads though =)

Is it possible to use supercid and then unlock bootloader? And then flash the recovery stuff and root like in this video?

Flash EVO 4g rom

I'm courious of what would happen if I modify an EVO 4g Rom by putting an Evita boot.img into it and flashing it on our phone. I know our phone and the EVO are very similar and would flashing an EVO Rom brick our phone?

I'm no expert but I think at best it would bootloop. I think it'd probably brick, yes.

You need too do more then swap boot.
Img you need too add files from the evita and so on there are great tuts on xda i suggest reading,good luck on your endevours!!!!

Ah your're right. After I looked at the emmc partions for the EVO they are completely different than the one x. Flashing one of those roms means a sure brick......unless we modify the updater-script.

If your boot loader is unlocked and you have recovery installed, its just a matter of flashing an ICS ROM. If you're completely stock, there's no way

S-on is not what causes you to do anything. It is the boot loader that you need to worry about. Without unlocking it, you can't do anything. If you are on the 3.18 firmware there is nothing you can do.

Sounds like you have the tegra 3 one x. If your boot loader does not say Evita, you need to visit the international one x forums. At the type on HTC one x and choose the one that does not say AT&T

I have stock rom. But its rooted.Supercid is 11111111 and S-OFF.I unrooted it using the unroot option in the superuser.But i need the stock recovery so that i can get the ota update.

All you need to do is run the appropriate RUU for your phone. Look in the resource thread that is a sticky in the Android Development section, you'll find links there.

While it's easier just to RUU, it is also possible to extract the recovery image from an OTA zip file.

He wants the stock recovery so he can update via the ota. I figured less work to just run the ruu.

I agree. I just like throwing in alternative solutions for learning purposes. Ruuing is certainly the easiest
