HI,
I've been tampering with my HTC ONE XL on Telstra's network and didnt realise that the Tegra chipset had anything to do with how the software ran on the handset - basically, I've unlocked my bootloader via HTCDEV.com, however, couldnt flash a custom recovery.
So now the bootloader comes up, it says **tampered**
**unlocked**, but when i try to boot, it says that "This version of software is for development purpouses any unauthorised use of this is against the law" i can not seem to recover it anyway i have tried all of the methods that i can find on here. included getting the stock RUU and browsing in temp and finding the system.img and flashing through fastboot cmd.
Ive contacted a HTC rep who sent me the stock ROM but that still doesn't fix it.
Could someone give me some instructions on how I might me able to get it to boot, as there isnt a ONE XL thread on here.
I'm happy to donate some $$ via paypal too.
TIA.
JASAWR.
**EDIT**: Forgot to mention that I've been using the ONE X roms - which is why I made reference to the Tegra chipset above.
Bootloader has been unlocked successfully, but no recovery and no custom ROM - just a standard HTC logo with red writing "this build is for development purposes only, etc etc"
TIA

If your One X is the Tegra version you are in the wrong forum. This forum is for the S4 One XL.

You can relock the bootloader and run an RUU. You MUST relock to run the RUU. Why can't you flash a recovery?
BTW, if you have a One XL then you don't have a Tegra. It's an S4.

Maybe because he was trying to flash a tegra hox recovery.

I am having 2 different problems that I need help on. Problem #1: When I rooted my HTC One X, it got rooted as the international version and not the american version. At the top of the bootloader screen, it has *tampered* then *unlocked*. Problem #2: I have tried to load several different roms onto the phone and none of them successfully load onto the phone. If I fix the issue of the international status, will it fix this issue?
The phone is supposed to say tampered. I thinks its because we don't have s off yet.
Firstly which phone do you have? Quad core international or dual core att rogers version? If it quad core you should go to the HTC one x forum not here. If its dual core then make sure that you don't flash an international Rom as it very likely will brick your phone if it succeeds. And if you bl is unlocked then it will say tampered.

It wont say tampered until /system is modified. You can run stock with unlocked boot loader as and it won't say tampered if you didn't change the system files
Did you flash boot.img, if you are hboot 1.14?
Also, be sure to use TWRP, and not Clockworkmod.
Hi All,
I've just tried to root my htc one x (international). using the All in one toolkit V3.0 [7-16-2013
I went through step 1 to 5 (unlock bootloader) with no problems. I perm rooted and flashed TWRP but now I'm stuck! I m on the bootloader screen, I select Hboot > recovery. It loads the 'teamwin' screen and I see all options (install wipe etc) problem is that the touch screen stops working. I hit the power button and it just tells me to 'swipe to unlock' which doesn;t work either.
I searched for solutions online but cant find any. Anyone got suggestions?
Thanks
Please check your bootloader... Does it say evita? Or more simply... Are you dual or quad core?
Sent from my evita
It's a quadcore, bought in Europe if that makes a difference.
You'll have to go to the Endeavoru (HTC One X) forum then, this is the dual core Evita (HTC One XL) forum.

Hey guys I was wondering if any one can help me here I have an issue and its bothering me like hell
So I bought my new AT&T one x and there was an update available (sense 5 update) and when I downloaded I pressed on update now and the phone turned off and just in the middle of the update , the installation shows an error triangle with exclamation mark and the phone restarted and nothing happened !
I need help updating it and without rooting my phone ...
thanks
I don't think there's an official sense 5 update from AT&T yet? What is your current firmware?
There is no Sense 5 update for at&t yet. Was the phone used? Does it respond at all when you try to power it on now?

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. To get to the bootloader turn off your phone, once it's completely off hold the volume down button and then the power button (so you're holding them together), after a few seconds let go of power but keep holding volume down until it reaches the white screen with text. This is your bootloader, please post the first five lines.

I already did check every single detail the moment I got my phone !
I even called my friend to come over to compare his ONE x with mine and no difference at all ! maybe the only difference is that my phone is faster XD , yet I am assuming it wont update because I have no sim card yet (no carrier)...
any more ideas ?

If you want help, you need to do a better job of reading replies and answering the questions that were already asked of you. We need more info before we can help. As timmaaa asked on a previous reply, we need hboot details.

So I did what you told me :
*** LOCKED ***
EVITA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-11111111 (8 1'S i GUESS)
HBOOT-1.14.0002
RADIO-0.19as.32.09.11_2
OpenDSP-v29.1.0.45.0622
eMMC-boot
Jun 11 2012,14:36:28
So I got my sim card and I checked for updates and installed it , and did the same problem , got stuck with triangle and exclamation mark in it (in red color) and restarted after a minute or some thing and nothing changed ...
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.

Well... I bought the htc one xl from ebay , the dual core... It is unlocked and now my carrier is celcum since i put the celcum sim in my one xl... I am from Israel .. though the device i bought was brand new according to the seller... On top there is htc logo not at&t since its unlocked..
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.

I mean is there certain number of CIDs that I can try out and see which is original or its all random numbers and come with random phones ?
in that case I will try to push my seller to spell it out , otherwise I will have to root my phone ..
Hey,
Just got my HTC One X (the AT&T american version) a couple of weeks ago and I'm having some problems with the screen, the same as the youtube video "HTC One X screen artifacts" (sorry, the forum doesnt allow me to post the link)
I read somewhere that the only way to fix it is getting a new one, or updating my phone firmware to 1.29 or above.
I'm trying to update it, but I'm still having those strange artifacts on my screen.
Does anyone know how to do it manually? Without using the phone screen, only the computer.
Thanks

U can always RUU your device for the latest firmware...
but then if you have SUPERCID make sure u have SOFF as well cause if not your device will get bricked..
so download a Rom Upgrade Utility and the update your firmware.
BUT since you say that you have just bought the phone (no offence) assuming you haven't achieved SOFF your best course will be to send it to the HTC center in your city it should be in warranty since its new.
I got it in America, but I live in Brazil.
Don't know if they have a assistance over here.
I'm gonna look for this.
Thanks a lot.

Screen artifacts were a known issue on the quad core Tegra3 One X (ENDEAVORU), but I haven't heard anything about this for the dual core S4 EVITA (which the AT&T version is). And the firmware number you refer to also does not apply to EVITA.
What you are experiencing sounds like a hardware issue. You can try to RUU as previously mentioned. But I don't think it will solve your problem. Is the phone modded? S-on or s-off, bootloader locked or otherwise, SuperCID? What is your current hboot and firmware version?
And since you have a US version, I do not think you will have warranty coverage in Brazil.
