so i just got a att htc one x with 4.1.1 , 3.18 , can anyone tell me or list all the step i have to do because there is so much firmware and things ?? plz
Click the Everything Evita link in my signature, navigate to the root section, then click the 3.18 root method link and follow the instructions there. It's pretty clear that's the one you need to use because you have the 3.18 firmware.

Yes. Just make sure ur s off before running any RUU. U should be able to flash most Roms without it.. But S off is HIGHLY recommended tho

The steps are this:
1. Follow the 3.18 guide I told you about to get SuperCID.
2. Unlock your bootloader at htcdev.
3. Flash TWRP 2.6 recovery via fastboot.
4. Get s-off (optional but recommended).
5. Install Viper ROM.

That is correct, but you left out the part where he needs to get temp root to get SuperCID (3.18 unlock method) before any of that is possible. Trying to unlock the bootloader before doing that will simply fail. It's fine to help people but you must provide all of the necessary information.

Here's how to flash TWRP once you've unlocked your bootloader. This is assuming that you have adb/fastboot and HTC drivers installed on your pc of course.
Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you have TWRP recovery on your phone.

I've sent my DS off for warranty, and it was returned with the new ics update installed on it. I immediately found out that the method i used to downgrade it from hboot 2.00 to 0.98(zergRUsh/tacoroot) wasn't working anymore. Are there any alternatives to unlocking the bootloader with htcdev, rooting and then going thru the whole downgrading procedures? Are there any other temproot exploits or are them under development?

Trouble getting htc dev unlocked
I've submitted the unlocking request on htcdev, and was sent the unlock_code.bin file. The trouble is I can't get it flashed thru fastboot.
I type
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
and it stucks on sending 'unlocktoken'. The bootloader does something, as to reboot it I have to close the command prompt, reopen it and type fastboot reboot-bootloader and it rebbots just fine.
I tried several times, but without luck. What can I do?

Maybe you can try to flash a eng hboot from your SD card on your phone.
You also need a resent version of busybox
Shut down your phone and pull the battery and wait 5 minuter before you put
your battery back. In the mean time install the lastest HTC-USB drivers on you computer.
Start your device in bootloader mode and plug it in to your computer.
You now got bootloader-usb. Now flash your Unlock_code.bin.
"fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin"
Boot your phone in recovery
Make a nandroid backup of your ROM, reboot your phone
To make a backup of the hboot by entering this:
1) open terminal on your phone
2) su
3) dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img
download a eng hboot.img and copy it to the SDcard/
1) open terminal on your phone
2) su
3) dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
4) close the therminal
reboot in bootloader an see witch version of bootloader you got
If it has workt go to recovery and do a factory resset, reset dalvik and install a new rom and reboot
It works for me because my phone has revolutionary root but you can give it a try because I have not
found anyone has done this with HTC-dev, I also got no experience with HTC-dev.
Good luck ( I'm not responsible for any damage on your device )

From that page I gave you the link to there should be all the information you need to read and understand what/how to do and why.
Don't expect people to spoon-feed you the answers as you need to learn or you will simply screw your phone up and then start blaming everyone else on XDA for it.

CID returned is HTC_044... No matter how i flash recovery, the phone simply reboots... means i cant get into recovery mode.
I tried reflashing boot.img from vipers and relash recovery... doesnt work.
Right now, im trying to flash RUU via zip..... I have relocked my bootloader... Current status is that I managed to send the zip file over... but its stucked at writing for the past 10 mins...
This is the RUU where i extracted the rom.zip from
"RUU_EVITA_UL_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.23.707.2_Radio_0.19as.32.09.09_L_10.104b.32.25L_release_271654_signed"
It should be the same as my current rom... which if i read correctly, it will not get updated? that I should use the newer 3.17 RUUs for asia in order to fix?
************************ Update ************************
Okay great... now after waiting for 4332 seconds for the writing part to finish... I knew its not going to work via waiting any longer... I unplugged the USB... the command prompt shows up an error (FAILED, too many links)... I attempted to restart the phone from the HTC logo and now it doesnt start at all... cant even get into bootloader... =.=
************************ Update ************************
Okay I've managed to save my phone using this method http://unlimited.io/qhsusbdload.htm
So now im back to square one... I can go bootloader... i unlocked it again... but i still cant go recovery...
************************ Update ************************
Now its back to being bricked again... as I was working on the phone outside when i managed to unbricked it. I choose to power off the phone from bootloader menu, thinking that I could work on it when I get home... alas, when i got home... the phone doesnt turn on... and i saw the dreaded QHSUSB_DLOAD thingy again...... omg... And the above method no longer works..........

Make sure boot loader is unlocked and you have fastboot usb on in bootloader
Then within toolkit pick flash other recovery and manually select the one you downloaded. Then try selecting recovery in bootloader.

RUU is an exe the fact it creates a rom.zip is fairly well hidden. Are you running the exe or doing some other crazy thing?
You should not be flashing anything to your phone if you are confusing zip and exe's, it means you lack the basic understanding of computers to be able to complete these tasks without failing.
How did you try to flash the recovery? What recovery did you try to flash? What were the errors given?
EDIT: you should not be using one click tools.
Use fastboot and flash recovery yourself, it is a simple task.

the zip file can be obtained via temp folder of the windows directory when you run the exe file.
The all in one toolkit requires the zip so I got it done via that method...
Yes I know how to do it via command prompt but the toolkit is handy...
And lastly you can say my understanding of mobile phone system isnt complete but dont insult me saying I dont understand whats zip and exe......

I know it can be obtained from temp folder.
Why go to the effort of getting the rom.zip to use in the toolkit when you could simply just run the RUU, which you had to do to get the rom.zip in the first place? Especially when it was failing, why push on with trying to use the toolkit instead of just using the RUU as it was intended by HTC?
I have not much knowledge of the toolkit, but when it flashes zip's is it for normal ROM's or for RUU rom.zip? The rom.zip is not in a format that can normally be used by most tools, it is not the same as flashing a custom ROM.
The toolkit is likely only for installing custom ROM's via pre installed TWRP and not compatible with rom.zip.
You said you were using a RUU zip and complaining it was failing, it appeared at face value you were confusing what the RUU even is.
I am still lost why running the RUU and grabbing the rom.zip from temp folder and then flashing in a toolkit was your chosen method. This just points more towards you are confused about what a RUU is.
I am sure the RUU would work if you just let it run like it is supposed to.

Why?
Personally because of the state you have got the phone in to I would:
1)go get the correct tools. eg fastboot, unlockcode, twrp and rom
2)Ensure phone is charged
3)fastboot oem lock
4)Run RUU.. and try actually running it which means just click next and yes a lot.. no fancy going to temp folders and trying to incorrectly install rom.zip via random tools
5)fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
6)fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-evita.img
7)fastboot flash boot boot.img (from desired rom)
8)boot into recovery
9)mount USB and transfer desired ROM
10)wipe data and system
11)install ROM
12)reboot in to ROM.

well... as mentioned, would really love to follow your steps but.... its bricked now... again...
I did run RUU.exe once but it hung for 30 mins without activity... but then again that was when my bootloader was unlocked... then i read that i can relock and do it through ruu.zip instead.... so i went that route.......
Btw I did update my status on my first post...

The least risky way would be to flash a stock ROM from here not an ruu. There are some untouched roms. I, myself have bricked running the telus ruu.

Hi all,
I am having one issue with my AT&T HTC One X. I had my HOX rooted with CM10 installed. I unrooted it flashed at&t rom through RUU. After that (without reading enough about it) I updated my phone to JB update and got bricked. I sent out my phone to mobiletechvideos and they did an awesome job in JTAGing my phone and its running fine now with official At&t ROM ( and all its bloat) and its running on JB 4.1.1.
Now as my phone is still under warranty I wanna try taking it to the at&t device support center and get it replaced (I know its void already but I still wanna try it) The question is that I still have Superuser installed in there and I dont see any options in it to uninstall it. I also download root checker app which says that I still have root. I went into bootloader and it says LOCKED hboot 2.14. Now how can I turn it to complete stock (out of the box) without SU and root so that i can TRY to get it replaced under the warranty. Thanks!!
Isn't SU simply an application that's installed?
Not sure what they check for at the service center (probably varies depending on the person), but unrooting (possible?), locking the bootloader, and making sure that 'TAMPERED' doesn't show when booting into the bootloader is probably a good idea. Pretty sure that once they see 'TAMPERED', they'll say your warranty is hosed, and you're stuck with your current device.
Just my thoughts. I would search XDA for threads that have similar experiences and see what they have to say before attempting that, of course.
You can use ES file explorer or Root explorer to delete super user.

so did you request for them to put jellybean back on it? i just sent my phone in but i requested for s-off while they are fixing it. i wonder if they are goin to put jellybean on mine and whether or not ill still be able to root afterwards

Yes I asked them to update ROM to 4.1.1 and thats what they did.
My phone is on JB 4.1.1 with software version 3.18
I just rebooted to bootloader and saw that its locked but its S-OFF, can I install a custom ROM? Attached is the screen shot from the bootloader

If i an reading this correctly, you have s off and supe cid. You need to unlock the boot loader but i dont know if that is possible. It is just werid they kept it locked, but it is s off. I am sure htc will see that
Sent from my Carbon-ize Evita using xda-developers app
I believe there is a way to trick htc dev If it will allow you to change cid. I have seen where people would change it to a rogers cid and use dev to unlock since there are no restrictions like at&t has. But I would research this carefully before any attemp is made to do it. Forget where I read it. But it might be worth looking into.

Oh wow, that seems sweet. Since Rogers uses the "evita" code name. I wonder if it would also work for Telstra as well. Gonna google see. If that is the case you (or where ever you read it from) just solve a handful of mysteries for us AT&T folks.

thats what i said, i was trying to understand how you have s-off, but the bootloader is locked (not re-locked)
do you have the unlock_code.bin that you first used?

Just to to HTCDev.com and follow the bootloader unlock process. Since you have SuperCID, it will work.

Fastboot oem writecid 22222222
Then unlock with htcdev
If that Fastboot command doesn't work, (not sure the the bootloader needs to be unlocked for it to work) then hex edit your Cid. And then unlock with htcdev

Folks have been reporting still being able to use 11111111 (even after it was reported that HTC was blocking it), while others have had to change to 22222222. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. But you're right, if 11111111 doesn't work for the OP, they should try 22222222.
So I successfully unlocked my boot loader. So now I have root, S-OFF and unlocked bootloader. The question is now I want to flash a custom ROM i.e. ViperXL. Do I need to flash boot.img first like it is with 1.14 hboot?
Not if you are s-off.

Since you are s-off, you can just flash in twrp as normal. You can fastboot the boot.img if you want, but it isnt necessary. So if you want to download the zip straight from your phone, you can...no pc needed. S-off is almost like a super phone...
Yes. S-Off makes its possible to flash roms without flashing boot image separately. Just flash the zip from twrp.

okay so this time around i made sure my htc one x was S-Off and i didnt do anything wrong. i installed a rom that themes sense 5 and what not... anyways the install failed and when i went to go boot up it didnt go further than the htc splash screen... i can get to bootloader but i cannot load recovery, it opens and then 3 seconds later it closes and then im back at splash screen... any ideas on how to fix?
Redownload twrp, check md5
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
select recovery
If that doesnt work, since youre s-off, just ruu.

Doesn't seem to be limited to 3.18 RUU as the RUU I used was for an older software ver. since telus never released a 3.17 ruu.

Yeah, I saw you commented on the Telus RUU in a previous reply earlier on this thread. I hadn't heard of RUUs for other carrier (aside from 3.18 from AT&T) bricking due to SuperCID and S-on, so I was just commenting on what I knew.

I have only done an ruu with supercid and s-on with 1.44, 1.73, 1.85 and 2.20, I guess at&t put in some extra security measures. I never bricked on those. But my phone did catch on fire fwiw

Yup, on older firmwares it was fine to RUU with SuperCID and S-on. But not so on 3.18. Nobody here really knows why 3.18 bricks the phone under these conditions, but it does.

I have a feeling it has to do with the write protection that gets implemented.

i've stuck with cwm since release since i havent had any of the same twrp woes. even with twrp 2.3.3.1 i still had problems with getting into recovery from bootloader, which is a pain when you are bootlooping. usually if you manually get into bootloader without the phone plugged into pc then once in bootloader you plug your phone into pc you have a better chance of getting it to load on the first try, same goes for getting unlock token to take.
Soft Bricked my HTC One SV, managed to get the Stock Recovery working again, but refuses to boot even after a Factory Reset.
Gets stuck at HTC Quietly Briliant screen.
Any ideas on how to fix?
Running Android 4.2.2 (well, was) Unlocked but S-On
it seems my System dir got wiped.....no idea how this happened...does anyone have a NANDROID 4.2.2 backup k2_plc_cl?
You have tried to run this RUU?
downloading now, I also thought of something else, it could be I'm not using the correct boot.img, would you happen to have a copy of 4.2.2 boot.img?
Also, the device doesn't boot, sticks at HTC screen, will I still be able to use this?
@ARitualSacrifice
Preparing to run the RUU:
To run the RUU, here's what you will need to do:
-- Make sure phone is charged to at least 100% (but if not, then at least 60% or more)
-- Place phone in fastboot mode(select fastboot from hboot menu), plug in via usb.
-- Open a command prompt window, change to android directory (wherever you set this up for adb/fastboot) and enter the following commands (one at a time):
--
Code:
fastboot devices
--
Code:
fastboot oem lock
-- This will lock your bootloader and allow you to run the RUU. The phone will try and reboot, or it will give you a security warning, and lock you into bootloader. Don't worry, this is normal.
Running the RUU
-- Make sure the HTC drivers you downloaded earlier are installed and working. Do this by connecting your phone to your computer. If your computer detects it, your drivers are working. I recommend staying in fastboot usb mode after entering the commands above, the RUU.exe will detect that and be able to work from fastboot.
-- Run the RUU.exe (that you downloaded earlier) on the PC as administrator. It takes a few minutes to boot up, so don't be alarmed if it doesn't appear immediately.
-- Follow the prompts. It should ask you to ensure your phone is plugged into the computer and that ADB debugging is turned on. As long as you left it plugged in from earlier you are fine.
--The RUU should recognize the phone and start running. Be patient, do not unplug the phone under any circumstances!!
-- When it finishes, it will reboot, you will be stock again.

My final question, has there been an S-Off method made for hBoot 2.21 yet?

I assume (since the one sv isn't listed) I use the "universal" version?
Yes.

It will root your device and place the root app in to ./system/apps
Comes with the su binary for /etc and /xbin
Binary for /xbin is then symlinked.
Download a root checker from the play store for confirmation or run a app that requires root. Either one will give confirmation
