I'm running (badly, it's very crash-y) an HTC One X (evita) with CM10.2 and I would like to: a) SIM unlock the phone from AT&T, and then b) send it to my sister on the Telus network in Canada for her to use. I wanted to consult this forum before doing anything else.
Elsewhere on this forum it says I need to return it to stock ROM to correctly unlock the SIM, and that's no problem, here's my BOOT information:
Code:
*** UNLOCKED ***
EVITA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-2.14.0000
RADIO-0.24p.32.09.06
OpenDSP-v34.1.0.45.1219
eMMC-boot
Nov 26 2012, 18:37:14:-1
So, here's the questions I have:
1) Do I need to return to STOCK ROM before unlocking or is some other method going to work?
2) Do I just do "fastboot oem lock" and then run the RUU, or do I need to do something more [with SuperCID, S-OFF, etc. as above]?
3) What RUU should I use for my sister on Telus in Quebec?
Thanks in advance!

1. You can use an RUU but usually any Sense ROM should be ok. If you're giving it to someone with no experience with modified phones I'd suggest you RUU and leave it that way though. Also relock the bootloader and change the CID back to stock.
2. You're s-off so you don't need to relock the bootloader at all when running an RUU.
3. All available RUUs can be found at Androidruu.com, just make sure it's an Evita one.

Hi,
I am looking at installing the Endymion ROM however I haven't had much luck following any of the beginner guides and was wondering if anyone can help me through the process.

I believe I need to downgrade my HBOOT and then S-OFF before being able to install any ROM, however I cant find a guide that worked for my phone.
I was able to UNLOCK the device via HTCDev.
Please help.
Just flash the rom like any other then, extract boot.img from endymion and flash it using fastboot.
fastboot flash boot /pathtoyour/boot.img

Then you didn't do enough reading.... No matter how you cut it, jumping in without a firm understanding is dangerous.
Sooo you can downgrade still (follow the downgrade threads again) or carry on with your HTCdev unlocked phone..... and flash a recovery (don't forget about the boot.img)

Reboot the phone in the bootloader (fastboot usb) and re-run the RUU from there.
Hope it helps.

Solved.
2 Questions
1. Where did you get the RUU from ?
2. HTC__032 is for Eastern Europe. Do you still have EE fonts, dictionaries etc. ?
OK, here's the skinny:
Win7Ulti 64bit
2x Desire S (one orange branded, one stock)
I have tried updating both from the official RUU from HTC both stall copying the update to the phone and after an hour or so, pulling the cable drops to the bootloader.
I have since unlocked the Orange phone from the HTCDev site, still no joy. I've also tried the PG88IMG zip, which is found, loads then drops back to the bootloader.

I'm assuming it's my hboot version, everyone seems to be talking about 2.00.2002. Going to try updating it.
As you are S-ON, use my guide for downgrade and use your preferred RUU. If you have followed it correctly, you shouldn't have any problems.

You don't need to downgrade anything if you are using the latest released RUU.
Your bootloader does need to be locked which yours is not.
Let me clear what I've said: you can follow my guide (downgrading guide), but instead of using a downgrade RUU. Use the one that you prefer, may it be the latest RUU (upgrade your hboot, rom, etc), or old (downgrade your hboot, rom, etc). The guide should help you successfully RUU your phones.
Afaik, the PG88IMG.zip update method is only applicable for S-OFF devices. I may need to be corrected here.

K, will try locking again and running the RUU.

This is in the wrong forum, should be in the Q&A forum. Anyway, you need to re-lock the bootloader and run any of the RUUs for the AT&T One X. You could also just flash a new ROM. If you are going to flash a new ROM you definitely need to change the recovery to TWRP, CWM is not supported on the Evita and is very buggy.

probably you need only S-OFF(because you said you want to keep the relocked and unroot status) am i right?
edit:what error did you have?
Dear, i mean :
if i unlocked my phone by HTCDEV.com, it's impossible to go back to ***LOCKED*** again, it's only back to ***RELOCKED***
so i need the right way to unlock and root my phone, that let me go back again to ***LOCKED*** easy
2- if i root and unlock my phone, then go back to ***LOCKED***, in this time.. can i flash the official Rom after all of that ?
maybe to sell my phone

I don't think you can go back to ***LOCKED*** after you unlock the bootloader via HTCdev. You can get it to say ***LOCKED*** if you s-off the phone. It will say ***LOCKED*** but it will also say s-off.
If you want to sell your phone, I'm sure no one would mind if the phone is s-on or s-off.

You can't get it to say ***LOCKED*** if you tried to lock it again using HTCdev.
You can get it to say ***LOCKED*** if you s-off the phone and don't install juopunut hboot.

PLZ what is the best tool to unlock it HTCDev or what ?
if i root my phone, the bootloader info will be ***UNLOCKED*** and S-Off ?
or the root is differently
sorry for my many questions,
Edit: in Egypt, any one buy HTC phone, he must check bootloader, if RELOCLED or UNLOCKED he will Buy it at a cheap price
if not, he will buy it at good price
Hmm...I think you are talking about sim-unlock. When people sell phones, some list them as "unlocked". This means that the phone can be used with any carrier (any phone company that provides service)
There is a different kind of unlock. That is the bootloader unlock. If you want to unlock your bootloader, you need to go use HTCdev unlock method (htcdev.com). It will give you information on how to unlock your bootloader.
S-off means security off. It is the opposite of s-on(security on). This means that you can flash many things that a unlocked bootloader cannot do. If you want to s-off, then I gave you a link in my previous post about the guide for s-off.
Rooting is also different from s-off and unlocking bootloader. Rooting gives you (the owner) superuser rights (like an administrator account on a PC). All you need to do to root is to follow this guide: http://theunlockr.com/2012/09/20/how-to-root-the-htc-sensation-on-hboot-version-1-27-0000/

Sorry for the inconvenience
Rooting and bootloader are different.
Rooting and s-off are also different.
Rooting your phone requires either s-off or unlock bootloader. If you unlock bootloader and then root, it will say ***UNLOCKED***
if you s-off, it will say ***LOCKED***
You can also unlock bootloader AND s-off (do both by unlocking bootloader first and then s-off). If you want to unlock bootloader and s-off, then follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25202517

Do s-off by this guide first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26280760
After your bootloader says s-off, then you can flash a custom recovery.
I would actually recommend this one:

It's 4EXT recovery and I think it's better than clockworkmod recovery.
