Hi everyone, i recently got my wife the At&T version of the One X and i live in Bahrain, ( i personally have the tegra3 version), the question is she still has the stock 4.0.4 with sense 4.0 and the phone is branded with at&t stuff, is there anyway to flash one of the latest sense 5 updates which will not brick the device? or brick the radio function?
Our GSM Frequencies are: GSM 900, GSM 1800 UMTS 2100
our 4G frequencies are: LTE 1800
i know the device is not 4G compatible here but i need the 3G to work... any help needed
It doesn't matter which ROM you're on, the capabilities of the radio hardware doesn't change. You won't be able to download updates via the Settings menu because you're outside the US. You can download the OTA updates and manually flash them though.

ah thanks for the quick response, can you point me to the threads or to the latest version?
You'll need to take the OTA's in order, you can find all the information here.
Sent from my Evita
those are Sense 4.5 ROMs right? isent there an update with sense 5 out for the one xl?
There is no RUU for Sense 5, it's an OTA, but at&t haven't released it yet so the closest you'll get is Sense 4+ and Android 4.1 (until at&t release the update).
If you don't want to wait you could unlock/root and then flash a Sense 5 ROM of your choosing.
Sent from my Evita
ah ok thanks, i will wait for the official one from at&t since my wife doesn't need root..one last thing.
can i use this?
I'm not sure, I've never heard of a 3.07 update. I'd suggest sticking with the at&t 3.18 RUU on the page I linked to.
Sent from my Evita
yes its actually the 3.18 update, the 3.07 is the date it was released...
RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Cingular_US_3.18.502.6_Radio_0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34_release_signed_With_Partial.exe
so i just download that, get htc sync manager and im good? no need for custo recovery or other stuff?
Ahh, ok that makes sense now. You'll need to download HTC Sync Manager and that should be it.
We should probably double check your bootloader details first though to be safe. Turn the phone off completely, once it's powered off hold the volume down button then hold the power button (so you're holding them together). After about three seconds let go of the power button but keep holding volume down until you reach the bootloader (white screen with text). Please post the first five lines of text you see on the screen.

PS i don't think ota availability is region locked.
It is an idea that has been said many times before but from what I have seen the fota server does not block based on your current location or the mobile network you are currently connected to. Those details are sent but I have never seen it block anything you put in those fields.
Fota server does some simple imei checks to release updates in batches and to blacklist certain devices.
It checks model which comes from the build.prop of the rom and must be the correct HTC one x or HTC one xl.
It checks "firmware version" which we would typically call the HTC ROM version.
Most new updates check Cid which must be valid for that ota, eg carrier Cid of supercid.
That's about it.
Details about the radio, the current time and a bunch of other things are sent but do not determine if your phone will get the ota.

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

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:

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 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.

Carrier unlock and bootloader unlock are two different things. You can run the software update just fine.
What does Tampered mean?
Hi ,
Still a little confused ( sorry, total newbie)
I'm using a at&t Htc one x in India. When i load it in HBoot it shows:
*Tampered*
*Locked*
What does the tampered mean? can i still run the RUU?
on the HTC site, i could find only a CRC file... can i install the Asia version or should i install the Usa version
Pl let me know.
Thanks!

If it says tampered that means it was unlocked at some time and was probably supercid.
You can try using fastboot to determine the CID, it may be changed back CWS__001 or could still be 11111111
You would most likely brick if you try to ruu to 3.18
You would have to S-OFF first which is somewhat advanced and creates a big security hole if you don't know what you're doing.
Hey there guys. I have an HTC One X on AT&T.

The only thing done is that its unlocked to be used on a prepaid plan.
So you're still on at&t but you've switched to a pre-paid service? You could contact at&t tech support and see what they say. Or you can download the at&t 3.18 RUU and run that which will update your phone to 4.1 Android.
We need to make sure it's safe to do that though, so we'll need your bootloader details. To get to bootloader turn your phone off, once it's off hold the volume down button then hold the power button (so you're holding them together), after a few seconds let go of power but keep holding volume down until you reach the white screen with text. This is your bootloader, please post the first five lines of text.

Yes, I am on a Go-Phone plan. But the phone is unlocked so I can use it on that plan. So I think that is the reason I cant get OTA updates. I need an update that keeps the phone unlocked though to continue my plan,

Ok, I'm not American so forgive me for asking but I'm guessing Go-Phone is not at&t? Therefore you're not getting the at&t update, you need to be on at&t to receive the update through the update menu.
Once you've SIM unlocked your phone, no updates are able to change that as it's stored at a lower level. Long story short, you'll always be SIM unlocked no matter what update you apply.
So you can safely use the at&t 3.18 RUU to update to 4.1 Android. You'll find it here. All you need to do is put your phone in bootloader mode like I explained before, connect your phone to the pc and run the RUU exe program. Just make sure no other programs are running and make sure screen saver/hibernation is turned off. It shouldn't touch your data but if there's anything precious on your sd card I'd suggest you backup first just in case. When you open the RUU program you'll just need to click through a few prompts, it'll take about 20 minutes to complete.

Go Phone is still AT&T, so this is not the reason you are not getting the update.
There can be several reasons for not getting the update. Some people have had success doing a factory reset (backup your personal data first), and then the update will go through. Or since you missed the 2.20 OTA, this seems to break the OTA sequence (you need 2.20 OTA before the 3.18). I understand this technically shouldn't happen, but I've seen it plenty. You might be able to ask AT&T to push the 2.20 OTA to you. But they might not support you, since the phone is not originally intended to be on a prepaid plan (not sure on the exact rules of this).
But the easiest way to update to 3.18 is to RUU like timmaaa said. Its a cleaner install then OTA, anyway (no need to do 2.20 RUU first). Although it will wipe the phone, so backup your personal data first.
Hey guys I was wondering if any one can help me here I have an issue and its bothering me like hell

So it sounds like you tried updating, it failed, and then you just rebooted back into android. I had this problem a while back. You can update via RUU, though it'll wipe your phone. Are you rooted? Also, there's no official Sense 5 for AT&T One X.
No my phone is not and was not rooted .. i bought newly yesterday
To be honest i dont know if its at&t but it is the one xl , the dual core one , unlocked (unlocked for any gsm network)
I really need help..
And if there is no official sense 5 then why do i get an update available when i scan ?? And it says sense 5 in the update info..
You don't know what carrier you're on? There is an update for sense 5 but not for AT&T. Anyways just fyi, but sorry don't know how to fix your issue.
How can you not know which carrier you're with? Before you think about taking an OTA we need to see your bootloader details first.

It isn't working because your CID was changed to SuperCID (11111111) by the previous owner of the phone. You need to change it back to the original CID fit the update to work. Is it definitely the at&t model? If so it should have the at&t logo at the top of the screen instead of the HTC logo.

Sorry man, but your phone is pre-owned. If you really want the official update you need to change the CID to the original CID, the problem is you don't know what the original CID is. I'd contact the seller and firstly complain, and ask for a partial refund.

Ok I sent my seller a message of complain and he better answer me soon ! yet the device feels brand new ... even if it was pre owned I can accept it since I bought it for cheap money .. I get what I pay for .. any wayz I asked him for an original CID and when he gives it to me will it take me a long term process to change my CID back to the original ??
and thanks a lot for your help I appreciate it !!
The process to change the CID back is pretty easy, it's one fastboot command. Luckily the phone is s-off so you can change the CID as many times as you wish to. You'll need adb/fastboot installed on your pc, as well as HTC drivers.
The other option is to unlock the bootloader at htcdev, install a custom recovery (TWRP), and install a custom Sense 5 ROM (or any ROM for that matter). We have them in our development section and they range from completely stock to seriously tweaked, either way it's the same experience as you'd have by taking the official update.

Welll... The seller doesnt know the original cid and he still claims that all their phones sre brand new... Is there by any chance i can know my original cid besides asking the seller?
There isn't really any way to tell once the CID has been changed. You should be able to use any CID as long as you use the corresponding RUU to go with it.

We need to see your bootloader details. Turn your phone off, once it's off hold volume down and then power (so you're holding both buttons together), after a few seconds let go of power but keep holding volume until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader, please post the first five lines.

If your friend has a One X, and its not from US or Canada, its a completely different phone. AT&T One X is actually known as the One XL elsewhere (dual core LTE version, code name EVITA). Aside from the US/Canada versions, every other phone branded as the One X is actually the quad core non-LTE version, code name ENDEAVORU.
EVITA and ENDEAVORU are completely different chipsets, and therefore different root methods, recovery ROMs, etc. So make sure you keep it straight and get it right.
For the EVITA, simply look up your firmware version and find the corresponding root, bootloader unlock, etc. on my Index thread:

I have a similar question.
Hi I have an Evita PVT Ship S-ON RL

OpenDSP v.31.1.0.45.0815

I purchased my phone from kijiji, it was an unlocked Rogers phone, I rooted it, changed the rom to Viper XL 4.2.0 and also on TWRP 2.6.3. And I've also unlocked the boot loader from htcdev.com
I have somehow been able to change my rom and my recovery, but still S-ON?
I'm having issues with my phone rebooting, radio shutting off and the comments i've read state that I need to change my radio and/or my kernel, but i'm still s-on. I've read that I shouldn't have been able to get this far.
Last time I tried to change my kernel I got boot loops and had to re flash my rom.
Now I'm stopping and seeking help on what I should do.
Advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Of course you can change ROM and recovery while s-on, you have an unlocked bootloader. S-off is completely different from having an unlocked bootloader. An unlocked bootloader means you can install a custom recovery and therefore custom ROMs. S-off disables security checks, for people with hboot 1.14 this means no longer having to flash a boot.img via fastboot. It also means you can flash radios, and change your hboot. It also removes the risk of bricking your phone while running a jb RUU with SuperCID. To be honest I'm surprised you made it this far, not because you're s-on, but because you seem to lack a basic understanding of modifying your device.
If you want to continue using Viper (or any Sense 5 ROM) you need to get s-off so you can upgrade to the 2.15 firmware package.

S-off isn't needed for installing custom ROMs. All you need is bootloader unlock. Its just needed if you want to do other things (like timmaaa mentioned) such as modify hboot or flash a different radio.
If you were having trouble with the Beastmode Kernel, I think some folks had to install Beastmode 2.0, then 3.5. But you can look through the Beastmode thread for details on solving the bootloop, as you are not the only one, by any means.
Of course, s-off by the Facepalm method (very easy to accomplish) then flashing the 2.15 firmware is the other solution for random reboots.
