Hello,
I am running One XL 4.0.3, the NON-ROGERS/AT&T VERSION, its the Asia version, i just received that i can upgrade to 4.0.4, but idk that if i can still get rooted if i upgraded to 4.0.4(or later on 4.1).
P.S.: I don't want to go for the official Bootloader Unlock.
Thanks.
Depends what version of 4.0.3 you're running...
Go to Settings, About, Software Info, More, Build number.

i would just do htcdev unlock, i assume u know what you are doing and i assume htc will honor anything that isnt from an idiot flashing the wrong thing. so just do an htcdev unlock.
I don't want to lose my warranty... (in case of any screen damage, etc)
I have ROOTED, running of 4.0.3, but i know that i will lose my root when i upgrade to 4.0.4, and i am wondering if i still can root my phone on 4.0.4(without htcdev.com)

Yes there is a way although we need to know your exact software version (1.73,1.85,1.93). If you have the right version somewhere in the development section there is a method.

Ok
I have been rooted on 1.77.708.3
Now, I've updated to 1.89.708.9, I lost my root permission, what should I do?
I am running Android 4.0.3, 16GB version of HTC One XL.

Now, i've tried to downgrade my ROM back to 1.77.708.3, but it fails.
Any one have solutions?

Flash the boot.IMG first through fast boot then flash the ROM.
Also rooting will void your warranty. Once the phone is unlocked it will be "tampered"

Hi, as my nexus s has recently been lost i decided its time to put a custom rom on my one s, i was about to unlock the bl on it and noticed the tamper banner on the bl screen, its also s-off with a cid of 11111111, i have attatched a pic of the bl screen for reference, As far as i know the one series cant as of yet cannot be s-off'ed like the older htc devices, how would this be possible on my device? It was bought from brand new quite a while ago and until now has always run the the stock rom with no root etcetc.. The only thing i can think of is i had it unlocked not long after purchasing it but not sure what method the shop used. When i access the bootloader on my one s i can choose what to do fastboot or recovery etc etc but on this one s i get the red htc disclaimer like pictured below when i select recovery, i have the latest cwm touch flashed but cannot get into it.. So how can i access recovery?? any help would be appreciated
Sorry about image quality its taken on an old webcam
Your bootloader is still locked, that would be my guess. That's why the pink banner at the top says "locked". Unlock that and you should have access to recovery.
Sent from my H1S using XDA Premium.
I have since unlocked the bootloader, and still getting the same problem, recovery just won't load, as with old HTC devices such as sensation, desire s, DHD bootloader unlock was not relevant if you had s-off not sure about the one series, my main question is how it's become s-off in the first place
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Keep the bootloader locked, don't use the HTCDev method to unlock it. You're extremely lucky to have S-OFF, this means that you can easily get your warranty back running an RUU, changing CID and fastboot oem writesecureflag 3. This will make it S-ON again, and no trace of it being S-OFF will be there.
The current method is HTCDev, which submits a Unique Device Identifier so they can decline your warranty due to an unlocked bootloader.
S-OFF is better than HTCDev for flashing ROMs, as it means you don't have to flash the boot.img seperately.

Hi thanks for your responce. Since I took those pics the bl has been unlocked, warranty I'm not too fussed about, the main issue I have is how its become s-off in the first place, and when I try to boot cwm I get the red message pictured in my first post, I've tried to flash a recovery via fastboot and.Rom manager and no luck what so ever, I've tried com touch and cwm standard aswell as twrp I have the s4 device and Im stuck lol.

Ahh thanks for clearing that up, I did wonder, all though it does show up even on a fully stock system, no root, stock recovery, as you can see from the pics in first post the BL was still locked when those snaps were taken, even though its s-off it would not let me flash a recovery for him without unlocking the BL after I typed the fastboot command it said not allowed or something similar.

I have no idea how its like that, but that's normally why it shows up.
Maybe it has to do with it being S-off?
I do know however, that with S-off you can remove the red text. I'm sure someone here would know what to do.

You get the red text if your boot image is not signed by HTC. Regardless of s-on/off.
And afaik, you get **TAMPERED** if your recovery image is not HTC signed.

The s-off device of mine had tampered before I even unlocked the bootloader or even flashed custom recovery, I only bought it to sell but no I'm unsure, the one s and one x both seem to be.doing well even without s-off. As for the red message it only appears with custom Rom on my device, if on stock its not there.
Edit: Just to clear things up I now own the device mentioned in the first post
Edit 2: does anyone know if xtc clip can s-off the one series? Can't find any updated info

As you're with Telstra you will be able to unlock the bootloader on your device through htcdev then install the custom recovery then flash a rom with root as there is currently no root exploit for Jellybean.
As suggested above though do your homework first.

Hi, I recently purchased an HTC one X and I get a message with red letters saying "this build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside of htc", also my htc has been ramdomly rebooting, I want to go back to the stock ROM because I think I might have a custom one and that can be the cause of the random rebooting.
I have the 4.1 oficial firmware but I am affraid to flash it because my phone can become a brick.... The phone was rooted with SuperSU but I have uninstalled it and checked with titanium and I can no longer get superuser rights(I suppose I have succesfully unrooted my phone), I have also checked on bootlader and I have S-ON so I dont know if I am under conditions to flash the oficial firmware without risk(I dont want a brik). I want the original firmware because of the upcoming 4.2 and sense 5.0 update HTC will be releasing.

Is that all??? with S-OFF there is absolute no risk of briking??
Nonononono there's a tradeoff. Because once you supercid you brick if you ruu while s-on. So you need to s-off so as not to brick while RUUing. Technically because there are no longer security checks you have a greater amount of risk If you do something stupid.

Just flash a stock rooted Rom would be my advice.. what are you gaining from ruu? Look at cleanrom, it's forsurely the most stable for this phone... Just my 2 cents cause if ya don't know what you're doing or are comfortable using adb odds are is you will booger up your new to you phone..

Updated firmware that is not part of the ROM. If you read the top post of CleanROM, its recommended to RUU first. Its not "required", but some folks have found it helpful to resolve some issues, like random reboots.

Nothing you do to your phone can remove all risk of bricking when you flash. There is always a risk.
But if you have S-On and SuperCID, and try to install certain OTAs or RUUs, a brick is certain (known brick condition).

If you are S-on and SuperCID (which your phone likely is), and try to take the 3.18 Jellybean OTA, or run the 3.18 RUU, you will brick.
S-off will at least prevent bricking from this particular condition. The other option is change back to the AT&T CID.
Hello,
Upon many google searches I have come to believe that this phone has updated above 4.0.4.
I have complications updating so I came here with the following questions:
Did the at&t HTC one x finally get jellybean, or is that for other models?
if yes how can I update because I see get an error on the at&t software update tool, and I don't see anything in the "about" tab for updating like in other models.
Thanks :laugh:

According to the bootloader text, the phone was previously bootloader unlocked, and then relocked. Its probably also SuperCID, since this is the only way to unlock the bootloader on the AT&T version. Phone is also S-on.
Be aware that installing the AT&T Jellybean RUU with SuperCID + S-on will brick the phone. Advise you either change the phone back to the AT&T CID, or achieve S-off prior to running RUU or OTA or you will brick.

Yes that's correct. But doesnt the bootloader need to be unlocked to write the cid? I'd suggest unlocking the bootloader, flashing a stockish sense Rom, achieve s-off. Then run 3.18 ruu to prep for the cm install.
