I have my at&t htc one x with ics 4.0.4, rooted and bootloader unlocked, hboot 1.14.002 S-on,
how can i get rid of the at&t and flash a normal rom like cm 10.2,
i read some post and tried to flash rom but gave me error 7.
can any one help me in update to 4.2.2.
The reason the ROMs failed to flash is because your firmware is too old. It does state very clearly in the cm threads that you need to run the 3.18 RUU to upgrade your firmware before installing the ROM. You absolutely must get s-off before you do this though or you'll brick your phone. Head over to the Facepalm S-off or Rumrunner S-off threads and get s-off. Then you can run the 3.18 RUU, if you need help with that look at this thread. Once you've done that you can flash any current aosp ROM.
PS. It'd help you a great deal if you did some research before flashing a ROM, the requirements for flashing cm ROMs are right there in the install instructions. Plus, it's rule #1 here on XDA to search before posting.

I know you mean well but recommending one ROM over the other isn't allowed on XDA. To say one ROM is better infers that the others are inferior in some way, which isn't fair to the devs. He didn't even mention a Sense ROM anyway, he mentioned CM. He also needs to take care of the things I mentioned in my post first. If he did what you said he'd end up in a bootloop because his firmware is too low. I know you mean well but maybe you need to learn a bit more before you start giving out advice, advising people when you don't really know what you're talking about can result in damages phones and nobody wants that to happen.

@TimAAa I actually advised him because I am on the same firmware that he has and mine bootloader details are exactly same as his ,and I am running the Rom with no issues as well so thought of helping me that's it
Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk 2
I know why you did it, I was just letting you know that recommending one ROM over another isn't allowed, for future reference. Plus he didn't ask for a Sense ROM. Plus his firmware version is too to run a Sense 5 ROM.

thanks in advance for explaining and the help you are giving me,
i will start doing all what you said step by step and read the threads , and will inform you where i reached.
i found REVONE for getting the S-OFF, and it is very easy to use, what do you prefer to use and which one ,
You can't use revone, that is the for HTC One, it won't work for our phone. You really shouldn't be wandering into other forums, it's a bad idea, the exploits and software for other devices could very easily brick your phone. Here's our device forum main page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
Bookmark that and make sure you stay within it. You can only use the two s-off methods I gave you links for in my earlier post, as for which one is easier, probably the Rumrunner method. Both will work though.

It's possible that it's because you're on older firmware that it didn't work. Although sometimes it says it didn't work but it did, check your bootloader just in case. If it turns out you're still s-on, try the Facepalm method instead.

You need to supply more information I think. Get ready to eat some flame, lol
HBOOT version, ROM name, recovery version, Sense or AOSP
I know that if you have the latest HBOOT, HTC updated the touchscreen drivers so that it makes AOSP ROMs nonfunctional. There is a thread here somewhere that helps you revert your touchscreen drivers if you have S-OFF.

Currently searching this exact issue for a friends daughters HTC (did an OTA with almost dead batt, corrupt ROM, no getting in to S-off, etc., so flashing a stock ROM works, but no TP), here's your link: "Invalid thread specified. This can happen for a variety of reasons-- most likely because the thread or post you are trying to view has been moved or deleted.

Hello, I am fairly new to XDA so, I do not know much. But I am fairly knowledged on technology so just say what you may to help out.
I rooted my HTC One X (Evita) And I installed Cyanogenmod 10 . Now I wanna install cm10.1 nightly, now I installed the
M-2 Release and went back to cm10 now I hear there is a HBOOT requirement.
Now, what would happen if. I tried the nightly (boot loop)?? Because I wanna try it and I don't really trust any other dev except AOKP. Thanks!
There is no requirement. But if your on hboot 2.14 from either a ruu or your hox came with 2.14 then you need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware. The thread is sticked in original dev section. You should be fine flashing the nightly

This is true. I am on 1.14. I flashed about four roms. If you are stuck in bootloop, then just reformat /system and /data, and reflash, and then use fastboot the boot.img.

You have the middle eastern variant of this phone, none of the firmware/hboots/radios etc from the normal version are compatible and will most likely brick your phone if you try to install them. Basically, you can't run any aosp ROM because you can't flash the necessary upgrades. It's unfortunate but you're stuck with Sense ROMs.
The problem is that there simply aren't enough of the middle eastern variant around so there is no development specifically for it, so all you users with that variant are kinda stuck coming into this forum where not everything is compatible.

There's no such thing as hboot 2.20, that's your software version. You need to upgrade your firmware by running the 3.18 RUU. It does state that very clearly in the CM thread. You must have s-off to do this or you'll brick.

I tried getting s-off with the facepalm method and had no luck. I had no erros other than the ones expected in the instructions. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe my firmware is too old. I now know that my kernal version is 3.0.51.
Why not update your ROM and try again?
Sent from my Evita
I have consistently wanted to achieve s-off, but I've always run into issues. Now, I seem to need it more than ever, so here are my details...
My phone is from Wind, small company of Globalive, and their RUU is here
However, during my time on stock, I had updated to JB. I now have hboot 2.15 and radio 1.11. From what I know, this makes facepalm impossible, meaning moonshine is my only choice.
However, the closest thing moonshine supports to my carrier is telus
Telus RUU is here
Is there any way I can change to that RUU or achieve s-off? My drivers are starting to have issues, so I'm really hoping I can get s-off and not be dependent on my laptop. Thanks guys!
Note: I do not need instructions on how to flash RUU. Though it didn't work for me, I have seen the threads (maybe I'll try it while on a sense based rom). I just need to know if it's possible to be on the Telus RUU when my original carrier is Wind

I've seen a lot of your other posts and if you can confirm you are unlocked and S-Off then I would recommend checking that you still have a custom recovery. If you do, then mount the SD card and move a Rom over (with GAPPS if you decide to use an AOSP Rom.) Flash the Rom and Flash GAPPS if needed. Follow the directions in the Rom of your choice if they differ from that.
Or
You could Run a RUU and start completely over. Don't forget to flash a custom recovery afterwards in bootloader mode and flash a root program (I recommend SuperSU) in recovery prior to booting the system.:

Just make sure you have an unlocked bootloader and S-Off prior to following any of these recommendations.

Please learn how to post properly to this forum. OP has appeared both here and in my PM, asking for help with 2 different issues and not supplying nearly enough info.
When posting a question, you need to state clearly:
- What you were trying to do (install a ROM, etc.) including what exact steps got you to the place you are at
- whether your phone is stock or modded (bootloader unlocked, rooted, S-on or S-off, etc.)
- what ROM you are on
- the info listed in the first 5 lines of hboot.
Asking for help with one vague sentence doesn't cut it. If you want help, we need details. Don't be lazy and just type vague one-sentence posts, unless you want the same in return.
Also, the question in the OP probably would have been easily answered by simply reading the Frequently Asked Questions sticky at the top of this forum section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136172

No worries. Just take a deep breath and slow down before you post, and if possible sit at a computer where you can type properly. Asking for help with one sentence posts, and not providing enough details isn't going to help anyone. You will inevitably just have to type later anyway when we start asking for the details (plus more back and forth, and more waiting for a response).
I'm not personally much of an AOSP user, so I can't specifically help. But I know timmaa (and others) are more versed in AOSP.

You're not gonna get anywhere if you don't read and educate yourself. Plus, the rules of XDA state that a user must search thoroughly before asking for help, so I'm much less inclined to assist someone who is attempting to take the easy way out by just asking instead of searching. I even gave you a specific thread to check out, it doesn't get much easier than that.
Like I said though, if you ever want to unlock the bootloader and root your phone, you do not want to take that update.
