[Q] About to be One X user needing any info

So I'm upgrading to the One X, order is made and paid, because my Sammy Infuse charging port is fritzing up and I'm just looking for any tips, info or basic know how for the One X. Also, I haven't looked up on the One X board until now so forgive me but why are there two android dev boards?
Any info helps! :good:

Pretty vague request. But here is a good place to start: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
"Original Android Development" forum is for AOSP based ROMs. "Android Development" forum is for Sense based. Its a bit confusing, I agree.

Welcome to the awesome community of One X
why are there two android dev boards?
One X Android Development - For Sense based Custom ROMS
One X Original Android Development - For CM10, ASOP roms
Assuming your upgrading using AT&T
IF YES

That's the information money load there, thanks. Quick question, I saw in a different thread that people were looking for 1.85 or so firmware instead of the newest 2.20. Is there a particular reason why?

2.20 - is new firmware which is a updated version of 1.85
We had root method for 1.85 and lower versions but not 2.20 until yesterday . Yesterday djrbliss posted root for 2.20

Until yesterday afternoon, there was no root for 2.20.
Also, hboot on 2.20 is write-protected, which makes flashing roms a bit more complicated.

Oh wow, thats awesome but now I understand why its not exactly wanted. Hopefully I don't get a 2.20 by sheer luck.

It could be a mixed blessing. Firmware updates usually bring improvements to hardware. Who knows, maybe they fixed something.

New question since I don't wanna make a new thread.
How easy or difficult is it to hard brick the One X? I know with my Infuse that the only way to hard brick it is with failing during flashing bootloaders and even then theres a hard brick fix jig but I dunno much about the One X so far.

That's awesome, thanks. So I just got it this afternoon and I was looking and I saw that it only has about 12gb of memory including the 2gb partition for apps. This phone was advertised on the AT&T website as having "Up to 16gb of memory" Am I missing anything else? I'm a serious music whore and I have at least 14gb of music. It sucks enough that it doesn't have a micro sdhc slot

Newly Rooted

Hello All,
I just rooted my HTC One X (on ATT 1.85 software version). I have still not unlocked bootloader. I am looking for some good stable Sense based ROM since my wife is going to use the phone. I am also looking to have OTG and MHL support on the ROM. Can anyone suggest a ROM for this? I looked around and found that ElemantalX V3.0 has OTG support. Can anyone suggest me a ROM?
Additionally, do I need to unlock bootloader to flash a new ROM? What kind of precaution I should take while flashing? I am doing it on SGS2, so I know bsasics but not familier with the process.
Thanks,

Hey there! If you're looking for a close to stock experience I suggest clean Rom...and yes you need to unlock bootllader..with HTC its either bl unlock or s-off and we don't have s-off yet

You're either already unlocked and don't know it, or you're not really rooted. You can't root without unlocking first.

Thanks Guys,
I will check for unlock (may be I don't know and am unlocked). I used 1.85 one click unlock, but didn't use HTCDev.
I will also checkout CleanROM.
By the way are there any Jellybean roms? I wanted to have ability of transferring photos using NFC.
Thanks again.

With 1.85 and the one click you are not bootloader unlocked. You still have to go through HTC Dev. As for ROMs, if you are trying to stay close to stock then I would go with CleanROM also.

Yeah there are plenty of JB ROMs in the original android development section. But since you want sense ROMs I would suggest looking in the android development section, the top 2 ROMs there seem to be CleanROM and ViperXL. There is also a JB sense ROM but it is very unstable.

htc one x at&t

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.

[Q] Rooting on Jelly Bean

I have searched and searched to find some useful way to root my One x running the stock Jelly Bean Rom but nothing I found has worked. I read as far as unlocking the bootloader you do it the same way as you would on Ice Cream Sandwich, so I followed the unlock method as shown on OneXroot.com but my phone doesn't respond to the exploiter. I've also tried running the 2.20 ruu from AT&T but I should have known that method wasn't going to work from the beginning. Has anyone successfully rooted their One X after updating to Jelly Bean, if so how did you do it. If I need to downgrade to ICS in order to root my phone let me know how because I'm not having any luck. Again I tried to search for a solution instead of posting this but nothing useful came up. Most of the time the results were unresolved questions. So in short, I need help with unlocking the bootloader and then rooting my phone which is running 4.1.1 Jelly Bean.
Just to make sure were all on the same page, I have the AT&T One X currently running Jelly Bean

The 3.18 root method also is one of the top several posts in the General section, and on the first page of Development.

That 3.18 root method says it works only on Linux for now. I have Windows, can it still be done?

[Q] Help !!! root sensation to jelly bean or higher

Hi
I have htc sensation locked version , and i am new to rooting.
To root the device do i need to unlock and s-off first?
I am actually not aware of these terms.
Rooting ,unlocking and s-off all these mean the same or do we have to follow a unlock process first and root
I have officialy updated to ICS.
is rooting just to update to higher OS version or
even if we move from ICS unrooted to ICS rooted will there be performance upgrage?
Can some one provide me steps /links to unlock/s-off/root..in the order if all these are different
