Unlocked at&T one x Update

Hey guys,
I am an amateur in all these stuff. I recently picked up at&t one x white unlocked from US running 4.0.3
I wanted to update my phone but i guess i am afraid if my phone gets locked . Moreover i cannot even update it through settings as it says not able to connect to AT&T server.
Please help me regarding custom ROMS , updates Rooting etc and steps to follow.

Hoping you guys will help a new member
Thanks

1) you mean Sim - unlocked right? In that case it won't get locked even if you update the phone software.
2)First and important step is using the search function and I known its very hard for you but once in a while try using the search function, trust me you won't get tired

And don't update. The newest 2.20 version firmware is not currently rootable. And hope you don't already have 2.20 on the phone.

You cannot run an RUU on a boot loader unlocked phone. relock it first.

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't know how to do that. I guess I'll hold off 4.0.4 for now...

You need to read some more, before running things willy-nilly without the proper research.
I would advise against running the 2.20 RUU. As I already mentioned, it updates the hboot, which robs you of the ability to flash kernels and radios. There is no upside to it, since you can flash the ROM in other ways. Your phone is bootloader unlocked, and has full ability to flash kernels and radios. These are all good things. Don't take a step backward by flashing the 2.20 RUU.
If all you want is to update the ROM to 2.20, just flash the pre-rooted ROM (which will not replace the hboot): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812459
But in fact, these are more recent versions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789059
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838135

Ya know, you guys CAN extract the rom.zip from 2.2x ruu and pull each image and flash them individually to get the 2.2x updates and keep your unlocked 1.09 hboot intact. That way you dont have to do the kernal flashing and what not. It will be fully updated, sbl's, radio everything.:beer:

how I wish I had done this.

Thanks a lot guys. I should have done some research. I bought this phone second hand thinking "unlocked" meant I could use it on other networks --didn't know the previous owner meant he unlocked the bootloader...hahaha...I guess i'll do some research to relock it.

Didn't read a thing I typed, apparently.
No need to relock it. Just run one of the stock rooted or custom ROMs in Development. Flash a new radio if you want.

I'm sorry, i really don't know how to do any of those stuff...
I just got the phone a couple of days ago and i am still waiting on my t-mobile non-gba micro sim that i ordered online, now im really not sure anymore if its unlocked to other networks...
I won't know til that sim card gets here, but in the mean time i'll do some reading on all those stuff you mentioned =)

I went to the HTC site and did a manual update, but I dont have sense 4.1. anyone know if the ATT version will get it?

plz help
I have a at&t one x I bought last night that is unlocked and I am using on telus.
The phone isn't rooted and is running on android 4.0.3 and HTC sence 4.0
When I try to update it nothing happens. My brother has the same phone thro telus and has received updates. I have went to settings about phoneat&t updates but when I search it does not do nothing .

An AT&T phone won't get the updates unless it's on their network it seems. Just download the ruu

Bump. I unlocked my Rogers One X a while back, because I am planning on selling it. Since that time though, I have run an RUU on it. I no longer have another carrier's SIM card to test, so I just want to know if the unlock is permanent , or if it gets relocked when an RUU or factory reset is run.

The SIM unlock is permanent and will survive any RUU or factory reset.

Brand New HTC One X AT&T build 3.18 -- WANTING ROOT/UNLOCK/S-OFF

Okay i just bought a brand new ATT HTC One X and out of the box it comes with 4.1.1 and is build 3.18 with the 2.14 hboot.
i have flashed htc phones before and so im not new to it.
HOWEVER! lol
I was looking over the forum (and as confusing as it is with the different versions of the htc one x/xl/s/whatever else ) i believe this is the correct forum.
I am completely stock and those are my build and hboot out of the box. I want to root/unlock BL but so far no luck with any of the exploits.
Anyone here successfully rooted a 3.18 one x? or could i flash an RUU for the 2.20 build? how would i flash without first being rooted/custom recovery?
sorry if seem noob questions, been browsing the forums and google/bing all day and can't find a straight answer.

Unfortunately the answers are no and no. JB is decent even on fully stock AT&T, you will just have to look the other way when scrolling through your app tray

I don't think the current root methods allow for the 3.18 build to gain root. Might be in the 2.20 boat all over again until someone can find a definite procedure.

soooooooooooooooooooooo lame. my rezound had viper rez rom and it was based off one x jb but had all the tweaks and stuff so right now its like a major downgrade lol
guess i'll cry and wait for the HTC One to come out later this month, since i only grabbed the one x cause it was literally 11 cents at walmart with a 14 day return and my rezound is acting up and randomly restarting/tanking battery!
sigh
thanks for the info though Groovy

AT&T version of the One X isn't officially supported by htcdev to unlock boot loader (which is why many needed to change cid). If people who have the AT&T version are s-on, relocked, RUUed to 2.20, and flashed ota, they cannot root/unlock boot loader unless an amazing dev creates an exploit

The AT&T CID is blocked within HTCDev.com. A unique situation, almost certainly directed by AT&T. Therefore, on AT&T version of the One X, you need at least temp root to change the CID, then you can unlock the bootloader.
No root/temp root on AT&T 3.18 = no bootloader unlock. It also means no S-off (since you need root to change the CID).

I suppose it doesn't hurt to try. Otherwise, I'd just take the phone back, if root/S-off, etc. is important to the OP. I assume 11 cents is a subsidized price. So no point in using up an upgrade on a phone that can't be modded, if he wants to get the HTC One when its released.
OP may also check to see if the store has any older stock with 2.20 firmware (or any previous firmware version except 3.18). Phones with 3.18 out of the box must be very new, so I wouldn't be surprised if they had some older stock also.

I returned the one x today. will be looking into the t-mobile version of the HTC One which they told me comes out friday the 22nd. being a new phone i know i wont be able to do any mods or anything for a while, but that won't take long with the awesome Devs we have here! All the other models of the One X were sold out, and im guessing that someone realized that the new firmware was Out of Box so picked em all up. only had 2-3 stores with one each so its possible. now all the new stores have the new firmware no big deal, i'd prefer an HTC DNA anyways, but we'll see what the One is all about.

Yes, the CID for AT&T is cws_001 on all of the previous firmware versions, as well. This hasn't changed. cws__001 is blocked on HTCDev.com.

Yes.
If you were unlocked before, how did you get on the 3.18 RUU/OTA? Did you change your CID back to AT&T's CID? Or did you S-off.
If you are S-off, no need to unlock the bootloader.

Yes, you still need to have the bootloader unlocked to write to recovery and some other stuff. I tested this myself.

[Q] Won't update to Jelly Bean AT&T Unlocked Phone

Hello Guys
I've been trying desperately to update my AT&T One X but I just cant.
This is the story:
I have a SIM Unlocked AT&T, bootloader locked, unrooted device that was bought in the US and I use it in Mexico with Telcel carrier. I tried to update it to Jelly Bean through the AT&T software updates option but I always got the service unavailable message and after a little research I found that since I was not on the AT&T Network it won't recognize it thus won't upgrade.
I started to look around for information on how to upgrade. This is what I have done so far but still no success:
First, I downloaded the official RUU 3.18 from the HTC website. After a couple of minutes I got an error Message 158 - Image Error. I am pretty sure I was using the Evita - Cingular - US version so it doesn't make any sense.
So I downloaded the OTA in a Zip file, renamed it to update.zip, Still no success.
I unlocked the bootloader, tried RUU and OTA but no success.
Rooted the phone, no success.
I found out that RUU with CID 1111111 and S-ON can brick my phone, before knowing this I had already tried it but nothing happened, same error 158.
I installed clockworkmod and made a backup, and it has been very helpful.
I tried then to install the ZIP for the OTA through ClockWorkMod in recovery but also get an error message and won't install it.
I have OS version 1.73, so I checked that can't upgrade directly to 3.18. Tried to upgrade to ver 1.85 with no success, both RUU and OTA, RUU gives me error 155 - Unknown. I tried this RUU with and without HTC Sync and still the same, tried OTA with the Bootloader Relocked and no success.
I tried to flash a stock rom with Jelly Bean through ClockWorkMod, successfully did it but after that the phone just keep restarting, showing the HTC Quietly brilliant splash screen and restart again.
I flashed only the radio to see if after this it could install the OTA but didn-t work
I restored and recovered my phone and I-m still here, with an outdated version of the OS.
Tried to look for updates directly on the phone with a code that will make a Check In service to google OTA Checkers with no success.
Any other advises, tips, tricks or something that can help me out?
This is what I have after trying almost everything:

If the phone hasn't been modified, the chances are very low. There are rare instances of official OTAs and RUUs bricking unmodified devices. Possibly due to corrupt file when updating hboot. But its pretty rare.

[Q] help please

hey everyone, i had my telstra one xl on JB for awhile then i wanted to do the newest update from them so upon reading up on it i need to have supercid and s-off, so i thought no worries i'll check my cid first which was telst001 (or something like that), found a one click script and changed to the supercid, so it was 11111111, sweet now to do s-off which failed to flash the RUU, i needed to relock the bootloader, so i relocked it.
problem is now its stuck in a bootloop to fastboot and wont show up in ADB devices, i also cant get into twrp in recovery now.
is there any way to fix this or throw the phone out?

It's a bit difficult to make out what you're saying in parts of that post.
Was s-off successful?
Was the RUU successful?
Which RUU did you use?
What are your current bootloader details?

Did you actually verify that you had SuperCID? I don't think there is a one-click for the Telstra version. The one-click app for SuperCID I'm aware of is intended for AT&T, and will fail with any other CID.
Which may actually be a good thing (if SuperCID failed). Since if a Jellybean RUU is flashed with SuperCID and s-on (its not clear whether you were successful with s-off) it will pretty much a guaranteed brick.

If the screen comes on, its probably possible to recover. But we need more info as timmaaa indicated above.

There is actually a one-click tool for the Telstra version, I stumbled across it very soon after getting my phone mid last year. I found it on an Australian Android site, I think it was Ausdroid.
I'm not sure whether the tool is specifically for the Telstra version alone, but it definitely works on Telstra Evitas as I used it on my fiance's Evita (and mine which is a Hong Kong model).

I thought the one click tool here supported AT&T, Rogers and Telstra CID changing.

Really not sure, now that I look into it more. If its the old one by DesignGears, it does work with Rogers, but doesn't seem to mention Telstra (at least if I just search the thread for "Telstra"): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672284
And x-factor also fails for any CID except AT&T, if I understand correctly. So it seems these scripts all look for certain CIDs, so if its not explicitly included, they will fail. Of course, if there is one made specifically for Telstra (as timmaaa mentioned) it apparently wasn't posted on XDA.
But really my main point is that the OP needs to verify and be clear on this, as well as several other factors.

His profile says he is

Yeah, but still needed to check. Have you thought about re-unlocking your bootloader? It's been modified in the past which might have something to do with your update problem. If you unlock your bootloader you'll be able to install a custom recovery and then you can install whatever ROM you like. We have the stock Telstra Sense 5 Android 4.2.2 ROM in our development section. We also have a few other Sense 5 ROMs to choose from, ranging from stock to tweaked.

The thing is that it hasnt been messed with.I got the phone from a HTC rep that i know ... he had it in his draw for over six months ...I just wanted the stock update but maybe rooting might be the easier way

It definitely has been messed with, phones that are s-off and have SuperCID don't come out of the factory like that. Somewhere along the way someone has done those alterations to the device.
There is just one problem I've realised, your phone has a SuperCID of 11111111 which has been blocked by htcdev. You're s-off though so you can actually change that as many times as you like using fastboot. If you want to unlock your phone you'll need to change it to 22222222 using the following fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 22222222
You can then check the new CID by using this command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
Once that's done you can go to htcdev and go through with the unlock bootloader process.
In order to do the above process you will need to install adb/fastboot and HTC drivers.

No problem ... thanks for that ....I have rooted my one x before HTC_023 fairly basic but my mate swears that the phone came straight from HTC as a Tell us what you think before we send you more kind of thing .. Cheers for the info ...
Actually one more thing ... is it possible to do a RUU update with this to 4.2.2?

There is no RUU for 4.2.2, the only way is to run an earlier RUU and take OTA updates to get there. Since you can't get the OTA I guess that isn't an option though.

Within 30 minutes drive from me no doubt
Supercid and s-off from factory or not still means you are off the official path.
Things I might do:
fastboot oem writecid TELST001
Then try the OTA again
or
RUU back to 1.89.841.9 as a RUU exists for that, then ota forwards to 5.06.841.1
or
Unlock bootloader
Flash Turges 5.08 firmware zip and then take one of the Sense 5 ROMs. There is a stock Telstra ROM even.
PS nag the HTC rep for a more recent RUU, eg 2.40.841.4, 3.17.841.2, 3.17.841.9 or 5.06.841.1 and share with us

He has s-off does he need a token or even need to unlock at all?

I have often wondered the same thing, but I've been assuming that in order to flash TWRP recovery you need an unlocked bootloader.
It's nice to see a few Aussies on here by the way, I'm in Melbourne myself.

My phone from an att employee came s-off and with a locked boot loader as well. It just looks like that's how HTC and att do it.
