Some questions before I root ...

Hello every one
I just bought my HOX a few days ago .. came here to read and try to root it .. after some readings, (not enough ) i screwd up !
the bootloader is unlocked, and I successfully flashed the TWRP 2.2.0
didn t now about the tegra and the evita versions , so I tried the first time with endeavoru.img .. failed off course and ended up having the "tampered" above the "unlocked" ligne on the bootloader screen ..
after unlocking the bootloader ( and before flashing the twrp) when I tried to go to recovery via the bootloader , a red triangle apeared .. now that I have the TWRP i can go to recovery mode .. I assume that I can now do recoveries?
could you please tell me if I screwed up big time? or it is not big deal ??
Now I only need to root ... I saw the [TOOL] HTC One X (Evita) All-In-One Toolkit V1.1 [10-28-12] [PERM ROOT][Noob-Proof] thread and I am wondering if I can root it with it ..
If yes , can I go directly to " Extras/Perm Root"?? since I already unlocked the bootloader and installed a recovery ..?
Some info about my device :
Android ver:4.0.3
HTC sense Ver:4.0
Software Number:1.91.661.4
HTC SDK API level : 4.11
Baseband version:018a.32.09.01_2_10.94.32.20L

How about your software version?
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium

you don't have the at&t version so you can htcdev unlock. since you are already unlocked with recovery installed all you need to do it flash a custom rom in recovery, or flash this in recovery http://download.chainfire.eu/267/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip if you want to be stock rooted.

I believe 1.91 is the Telus version and I remember reading that you need to flash a rooted rom in order to root

That s right it s written on the box that it s a telus version ...
Could you suggest me please a rooted rom that i can safely flash in my devise
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium HD app

Once you get bootloader unlocked and install a recovery, then pick the rom of your choice and install. I believe they are all rooted, but someone may correct me on that. If you want a stock rooted rom, then search IN THIS FORUM for a stock rooted rom
Edit: Here is a post on how to root a Telus HOX http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1814914

Thanx a lot dear , and sorry to ask so much questions but i want to make sure.....
Now when i chose the recovery mode in bootloader it ogives me the TeamWin tool , does this mean that i an good to go?
And to flash a routed rom ,i do it with the TWRP ? I dont need the cmd?and the command lines? It s done directly with the TWRP ?
THANX ALOT FOR UR HELP DEAR

Yes. Put the zipped Rom on your sd card. And install it in twrp and you're done.

Hey area51 , you also have a telus one .. thanx for all ur advices .. I am now loocking for the roms .. hard to chose ...
I can flash anyone of them ? regardless of the firmware version ? or the kernel .. etc etc .. the only thing that matters is that the rom is for htc one x (evita, telus) ?? or do I need to be carfull with versions etc etc ??
last question .. Can I do what DevineLord said and only flash the CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip in the recovery ? will that keep my stock rom and make it rooted?

You can flash anything in this forum. Avoid the international forum as those roms will brick your phone. Not sure if flashing supersu works as I never tried. But it won't hurt you to try it and find out. I'm curious too. As far as which Rom to flash. Try them all! Play with the settings in each one and see which suits your needs the best.
We recommend reading the last 10 pages or so of the Rom thread to see what issues people are experiencing

Are we sure there is ONE XL in the UK? not keen on moving it without knowing exactly.

Actually yes, i have had one in here before, but let's be sure then ....
@ the OP, please put your phone in the.bootloader and tell us what's written on top. Does it say EVITA or ENDEAVORU ?

Hey buddy
I also have the UK One XL
Rotting is easy, use the HTC method, it's in this forum just have a quick look
I currently run ViperXL rom but any rom in the Rogers forum here should work
Also my hboot is 1.14 and for me this means no boot/kernel flashing works through recovery so I have to use fastboot
So quick someup:
Use HTC method to unlock bootloader
Fastboot flash recovery (I use twrp)
Flash rom in recovery
If rom fails to boot:
Fastboot flash boot (will be in main directory of the rom you downloaded)
Good luck and have fun buddy
EDIT: Just created a new UK HTC One XL Information/Guide thread, check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35518374

Shouln't be a problem with the correct RUU right?

Hey,
I have same hboot and radio as OP, but cid is HTC_Y13, does that change anything?
Can you help me find any working stock ruu? I searched the thread by Football from S4 section since my phone has to be S4, because I already had installed Dark Jelly S Edition and JellyBam. Tried about 3 of those there (one was RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.09.401.1_R_Radio_0.14.3059.14_2_release_243825_signed) Is that one even close to a working one? Does the ruu have to have exactly the words "2.15.000 or 1.11.50.05.28?
Also when I have tried some the ruus in the installed it says Source: 3.16.401.8. What does that mean?
Thanks.

Bumb.
Anyone please? Need quick help

Hi thanks for the link the only think I missing is how do I put file on sd when whone only boots to hboot?
Should I unlock it, then custom recovery, then try to connect storage from the recovery copy files over and then flash?
Thanks,
Ok, after trying 3 different recoveries I managed to get storage mounted and working on windows, once I have the file image I will try to copy over and try what you suggested. I hope the phone will come back.
UPDATE:
Flashing zen 1.05 rom solved (so far) all the problems I had, Initially they cured when while on cwm recovery I got OTA update, since then I had problems with mounting sd, battery drain etc. Now thanks to NQNH and Zen team I'm back on great 4.04 and sense 4.1. Thanks guys

[Q] (Cyanogenmod 10.1) HBoot requirement???

Hello, I am fairly new to XDA so, I do not know much. But I am fairly knowledged on technology so just say what you may to help out.
I rooted my HTC One X (Evita) And I installed Cyanogenmod 10 . Now I wanna install cm10.1 nightly, now I installed the
M-2 Release and went back to cm10 now I hear there is a HBOOT requirement.
Now, what would happen if. I tried the nightly (boot loop)?? Because I wanna try it and I don't really trust any other dev except AOKP. Thanks!

There is no requirement. But if your on hboot 2.14 from either a ruu or your hox came with 2.14 then you need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware. The thread is sticked in original dev section. You should be fine flashing the nightly

This is true. I am on 1.14. I flashed about four roms. If you are stuck in bootloop, then just reformat /system and /data, and reflash, and then use fastboot the boot.img. Most of the CM roms requires it. But, I seriously suggest you get S-OFF, while you can. It is worth it, and makes life really simple. The link is in my sig

You have the middle eastern variant of this phone, none of the firmware/hboots/radios etc from the normal version are compatible and will most likely brick your phone if you try to install them. Basically, you can't run any aosp ROM because you can't flash the necessary upgrades. It's unfortunate but you're stuck with Sense ROMs.
The problem is that there simply aren't enough of the middle eastern variant around so there is no development specifically for it, so all you users with that variant are kinda stuck coming into this forum where not everything is compatible.

There's no such thing as hboot 2.20, that's your software version. You need to upgrade your firmware by running the 3.18 RUU. It does state that very clearly in the CM thread. You must have s-off to do this or you'll brick.

But i dont know how i get back to stock could somebody please help me ?
Thanks.

If you just want to be on a stock Sense ROM, just flash a stock rooted ROM from Development.
Or restore the nandroid backup you made before you flashed CM10.2. You did a nandroid, right?

Just pick a ROM from the "CUSTOM ROMs" section, and flash it (stock rooted ROMs are also included at the bottom of that section). No guide should be needed, if you already flashed a ROM before.
