Rooting and back to stock. - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey xda,
I own a HTC one x. One of my questions is, will I need to setup android sdk and setup adb? It works on my HTC.
Secondly, are there any recent guides on How to root and also how to get back to stock? I found a couple of threads but they seem outdated. Really want to be sure on How to get back to stock since I might need warranty.
My tab runs 4.1.2 atm I think that is the newest version. Could only find root method for 4.03

And what about returning to stock?

A reset, or a reflash wil do the trick

Where are all the required tools for such a reset? I'm sorry it feels like it's all scattered around these forums for this device.

These "settings" can be found in your recovery.
Just shut your tab off en restart it with the powerbutton and the volume button pressed UP at the same time
( and don't let the volume button go until it boots ).
That's how you come in the recoverymenu.

I mean the tools and files to return to stock

Every rom has a recovery. No aditional tool required.
but.....yea always a but....
you can only do a recovery on the current rom.
or you can do a reflash with odin.

Having hard time rooting my at&t HTC one x

So I tried using the one click method to unlock my boot loader and root my phone and I'm having no luck. Help! Plz

Hi... You should really be more specific , what version of android are you using? As of the new update not all versions can be unlocked anymore ...
Make sure you close sync manager down all the way "EXIT" OUT ... As when I did my cell this had to be done to work

The Root method is only good on firmware version 1.85 android 4.03
Is there anyway I can go back to android 4.0.2?

Negative.
Like I said, you're stuck. At least until a root exploit is found or HTC allows us to unlock the boot loader without hackery.
Well ain't that a *****. Lol

[Q] New to HTC One S

hello everybody! ive had a iphone for about 2 months now and couldnt take it anymore so i just bought a htc one s! i want to root it but i want to make sure i know everything that need to be done. i see the videos and the step by step processes but i have a few questions. every tutorial i see looks to be done on ics. i bought the phone and it was already on android 4.1.1. do the tutorials still apply? also when i plug my phone into my laptop it doesnt have the charge only/ sd mount (or whatever its says) like it does on ics version....it just says usb connected and wen i tap that it goes into hotspot and tethering options. it is a htc one s S4 so can someone please help me? thanks
You can still unlock boot loader the same way. To get s-off go through the development section till you find moonshine s-off
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
Ok now what exactly does s off do and do I have to do it in order to root?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
No you don'tHAVE to do it. All you have to do is unlock boot loader. S-off just allows you to flash whenever you want. If your s-on you have to flash the boot.IMG from the rom.zip through adb

Oh ok. So how do I go by rooting this thing when I'm on android 4.1.1

You can use hasoon2000's toolkit to unlock the boot loader then install a recovery

You don't necessarily have to s-off except for certain things. If you want to flash custom ROMs, can be accomplished even without S-Off

There are these ROMs TrickDroid and zenROM. Sense 5 based. Head over to the Development section you'll find them there. Read the requirements for flashing the ROMs. If it says S-Off is a must only then should you go for it. Otherwise no need.

It's not that difficult. Also try non-sense ROMs like CM 10.1, ILLUSION 2.0 by $droyd$ (very good and stable ROM), PACman ROM.
best of luck.

[Q] Looking to Root My One S

Hi guys,
I'm looking to root my HTC One S (S4 Plus) to remove junky bloatware by Vodafone and to change the crappy Vodafone bootloader which seems to have knocked out the startup HTC sound of the device (and yes I have tried adjusting volumes).
I really don't want to brick the device as it's still 10 months until my contract is over. I've never rooted a phone before either.
Do you have any advise and perhaps some tools for newbies?
Thank you!
Hassoon2000's toolkit works great

Are there any side effects to rooting apart from the obvious bricking possibility?

I'm assuming you mean the recent 4.1.1 update from T-Mobile? I live in the UK. Vodafone sent out the 4.1.1 update back on December 25.
Well you can unlock boot loader but I think you need to use moonshine s-ofd to get s-off if your going to do it

You don't have to s-off, do you? I'm still running SON & had the latest update as well. Did have to use the htcdev website to unlock the bootloader, but it's alot easyer. Considering you're not really going to be a power user, that might just be the way to go...
Just remember you have to flash the boot.img using fastboot if you're going to use custom roms, appart from that I've not had any problems with it.

I'm looking to unlock the bootloader/root the device while still being able to download OTA updates (if anymore come...) and keep HTC Sense, if that's possible?
Simply to remove Vodafone's crappy bootloader that seems to have affected my phone's default bootup. My One S doesn't play the HTC startup sound, but my girlfriend's does and we're both under Vodafone via 24-month contract that ends in May.
I've used this procedure:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
Works pretty well .

I guess. The One series (2012 and 2013) isn't even listed on the HTCDev website to unlock the bootloader. Perhaps Vodafone took the liberty of locking it instead? They've already plastered crap in the app drawer, that it wouldn't surprise me.

Well, I'm guessing custom ROMs would provide the latest version of Android wouldn't they? So I doubt OTA updates would be necessary (especially since HTC just ditched this damn phone). My only concern is if I could get Sense 5.0 as well?
I've heard of TrickDroid 10 having Sense included? I'd expect this phone to support the latest versions with it being fairly powerful.

At&t HTC one x Stock Rom

Where can I find the Stock Rom for this phone. It is my understanding that I need to put it back to stock in order to unlock SIM. Thanks.

It doesn't have to be AT&T and/or stock. Any Sense ROM should do. Its just AOSP ROMs that for some reason have trouble with unlocking the SIM.
All ROMs (stock or otherwise) and just about anything else you will every need for this device can be found in my Index thread:

It has CM 11, Kitkat.
