[Q] Are the Intl and the AT&T vertions going to stay together in one forum? - HTC One X+

I know recently there has been a lot of trouble with people bricking their AT&T HOX+ trying to flash a Intl recovery or rom and such. I know the phones are very similar, but the truth is they are not the same.
Are we going to continue to use one forum? Or should we brake it into two different ones. I think it comes down to the question of how easy it is to port a rom or recovery from the Intl to the AT&T version?
Could any devs weigh in here?

I think devs will make it so there is an aroma option and you choose which one you have and it would flash the appropriate files other than radio chipsets the phones are the same

There is no need for 2 forums. On the Galaxy Note 10.1 forums. We have 3 different models all incompatible. Yet we all survive nicely. It's when people don't read before they jump in head first you get bricks. I've had 10-15 smartphones since the XDA Atom and never bricked one through flashing. I've been close a few times tho

Ok sounds good to me, just wanted to know.

I think it would be beneficial. The less confusion for people the better. Yes, people need to read, but if it prevents even one person from having an issue it's a good thing.

I vote for a separate AT&T forum. It's been done for the One X so why not for the One X+? It takes reading through many replies to otherwise figure out if a mod is for the Int'l or AT&T version, in some cases (where the thread isn't clearly labelled).

It´s no matter of voting, if needed Admins will create it.

Need info abt Galaxy S3 Rooting Process before purchase

Hello,
I, like so many others am trying to decide between the Samsung Galaxy S3 & the HTC Evo 4G LTE. One thing that I definitely want is to be able to root and flash ROMS on whichever phone I get. I know that root has been achieved on both phones but I'd like thoughts on developer support between the two, and which one (or both) can be set back to an original state where it's not known it was rooted for warranty purposes. I know HTC lets you unlock the bootloader but unless there's a workaround it'll say relocked on the bootloader allowing anyone savvy enough to check that it's been rooted. Wondering if current root versions are S-on, S-off or either with the owner choosing. Or perhaps S-off is a must in order to truly relock the bootloader so it says locked instead of relocked. I also read in my research that you can trip a counter on the S3 the counts how many ROMS have been flashed... Although I also read it's possible to root without tripping the counter but if anything goes wrong, you can't reset the counter.
Now, it seems like the S3 would have the most dev support since it's been released globally but I'm assuming that the ROMS developed for the global quad core version won't be compatible with the dual core US version. Is this correct? Is there Evo dev community really committed so that I could expect similar work being done for both phones?
Lastly, I'm assuming that the S3 will have more accessories available for it given its release on 5 US carriers without any changes in the phone... Seems like a first for any phone but the iphone. Do you agree with this or do you expect lots of accessories and aftermarket items available for the Evo LTE as well.
I know that there's a lot of questions in this but with the phones being so similar, this may be the area that differentiates them. And I know that I definitely want to root the phone... No question on that.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice! I appreciate it so much!
my simplified answer is: get the s3. more dev support, more accessories, mor everything. you can flash beats audio for the s3 too if that is important. great cm9 and aosp/aokp support as well
Seriously?! You can flash beats audio to the S3? Will it affect all sound that comes out of the phone (phone speaker, hands free speakerphone, music, video, all of it?) like it does on the Evo LTE? That's so cool... Not so much that I'd want it for sure but that I could have one of the main selling points on an Evo LTE on an S3! Freakin' awesome. Thanks so much for that reply and info.
You can't flash the international roms
But universalizing all us rooms for all us carriers are being worked on

Cool. So, in theory, there could be 2-4x the devs working on S3 ROMS as the exact same phone is being released on 5 US carriers simultaneously. So, where most phones have devs from one or maybe two carriers... This will have devs from all 5. That has the potential to really make a difference and certainly add to the development synergistically. That's exciting!
Its gonna be like nexus development
But less confusing cause we have more subsections

Things to know before buying a HTC OneX+/ Tips and pointers?

Hi
I am looking for a new device since my old Defy has done it's part... well to much.. going from Froyo where Moto left it ,to stable everyday JellyBean and custom kernels while dealing with an unlocked bootloader.
But enough of that. I am considering the One X+ because it looks great and i am looking at a price cut in the near future for this device from my carrier. Also i think it delivers on the power end. 1 GB RAM should be enough right?
Any issues this devices has and i can face?[
B] Any issues regarding carrier locked bootloaders?[/B] < this is very important. I want to flash custom Roms. I have had CM7,9,10 over the last 2 years i grew accustomed to it. If Sense does not cut it i would very much consider this.
I can chech if my carrier imposed some lockdowns of course, see what ROM it has. I just want to know if i can unlock it. I am not looking for carrier unlock as much as i am for Bootloader and being able to install whatever i want on it.
Thanks in advance. Any pointers are much appreciated.
You can unlock the bootloader using htcdev so no real issues there as far as I know.
thanks. And regarding the device? Any issues i could run into?

Just make sure you keep your eye on what roms, recoveries, and kernels are for international and which ones are for AT&T/Telus. The two types of HOX+ are essentially different devices and so the roms/kernels/recoveries are not cross-compatible for the time being.

yeah this is the only problem that i find annoying. being on ATT there arent very many roms just yet, but hopefully that will change
Ok course i will read everything before buying if decide on this phone. I don't choose one lightly. Thanks for the tips guys.
I am thinking about buying One X+ rather than Nexus 4... I just hope someone will port latest RootBox for it

Is it just me, or is the development section for this phone a ghost town?

I remember the HTC Evo days. Boy, I spent hours-a-day browsing the development section on XDA to get my flash fix. That carried over with my Samsung Galaxy S2 and then the S3. Now that I'm considering coming back to HTC for a fresher experience, I found myself jaw-dropped at how ghostly the development forums are. I figured this could be a result of the phone being so young; so I went to the GS4 to see if that holds true. Wow... what a difference. Those forums seem busier than hell. And it's only been about a month since it was released as well.
Anyone have any idea why that is? I've been trying to convince myself to get the HTC One. I got over the fact that it lacks a replaceable battery, a MicroSD card, and recently, I got over the fact that the images are just not all that it's hyped up to be. I figured I'd be transitioning to the Moto X Phone when that comes out later in the year, so I might as well put-up with these shortcomings. But not having the development support that I experienced with the earlier HTC devices, and recently with the Samsung devices is just not something I think I can get over.
I am constantly thinking of the word "potential" when referring to this phone. What a shame. HTC had all the tools to flip the market on its feet, but it seems as if they came up short... again.
Check out the non-carrier-specific forum...it's pretty active.
EDIT: HTC didn't come up short, this phone is considered quite a success.
My theory for this specific forum being dead is that T-Mobile's national release of this phone was yesterday (06/05/2013). Before that, it was only available in their "high-volume" locations.
Oh wow. And all of those will work with the Tmo version?
Sent from my badass Samsung Galaxy SIII.
yea all the development is in the international forum. all roms on that forum will work on the tmo htc one and they work very well. i have flashed every sense based rom and most of the aosp roms. definitely not a ghost town over there:good:
Yeah, they should. But as always, continue at your own risk.

As you've noticed by now, there's plenty of developer support for the HTC One. It's all just confined to the general HTC One forums, which makes sense, as the various roms can be used on the AT&T, T-Mobile, and international HTC One's. Most developers don't want to have to maintain 3 or more separate threads for the same thing.
As was pointed out though, if you're looking for T-Mobile wifi calling compatibility, be careful about the ROMs you flash. Since the 4.2.2 OTA for T-Mobile isn't out yet, no 4.2.2 ROM is going to support it. I'd suggest Android Revolution 9.4, or a similar 4.1.2 ROM if WIFI calling is essential to you.
Also, since a Google edition of the phone is going to be coming out in the near future, developer support is likely going to expand even further.
So I think it's safe to say you can put your fears to rest and buy an HTC One. I don't think you'll regret it.
Yea I've been hanging out in the International One forums as almost all their ROMs work for us.
This forum really shouldn't even have a development section since there's not really any specific T-Mo stuff that needs to be done.
Every single ROM in the GSM section will work for T-Mo. There isn't a single one that won't work. The only thing you lose is T-Mo's branded stuff and T-Mo's wifi calling (as they are the only ones who do Wifi calling)/

Thanks you guys so much for your replies. I'm happy to see that the development forums for the One is indeed thriving. I'm more confident in snagging a one over the GS4 now.
Indeed, I don't see a reason as to why even bother with a Tmo specific section.

I was able to dig up an old link for Android Revolution 9.4 but can't find a description or list of features etc for it. Are you positive it has wi-fi calling in it?
I haven't owned an HTC since the OG Nexus One (had all Nexus devices since) so I'm reading up on S-OFF etc before I flash a new ROM. I really want to try out wifi calling though so that's why I'd like to make sure. Thanks in advance!

9.4 definitely has wifi-calling. I'm on 9.3 at the moment and wifi-calling works perfectly for me on T-Mobile. In the installer, just be sure to select T-Mobile as your carrier and it will install all the necessary files for wifi calling.
Also, note that S-Off isn't required to flash this ROM. All you need to do is unlock your device through HTC Dev, located at the HTC Dev site. I'd give you a direct link, but asinine restrictions in place on this forum are preventing that at the moment. Just Google HTC Dev and it will be the first result. You can't miss it.
Anyway, unlike with earlier HTC devices, this unlock method allows you to flash everything you need to update the ROM. Only some of the "black box" partitions like the radio and bootloader aren't flashable when it's unlocked with this method, but to my knowledge, no ROM requires that, and furthermore, the Nexus devices are very similar in that respect.
The only real advantage to S-Off is if you plan on flashing a different carrier's RUU, altering the radio, or changing your CID. Anyway, just something to be aware of.
Good luck.

Sweet, thanks I'll definitely try 9.4 then! Reception in my office all day is terrible so I'm excited to try wi-fi calling.
I think I understand in theory why S-OFF would not be needed. but the nerd in me wants full control with S-OFF.. Also, if I use S-OFF, i can return my phone to bone-stock and keep warranty right? As amazing as the hardware on the HTC One is (I've gotten used to sub-standard hardware with the Nexus line), I'm not 100% sure yet I want to keep it.
Any chance you could educate me on what CID is for? Evidently it may restrict/allow flashing ROMS from certain regions?
Also, I believe I have a basic understanding of what an RUU is, but could you elaborate for me by any chance? I believe it's basically an all i one installer for a full stock ROM?
Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but this T-Mo sub forum seems a bit more forgiving than some other areas

It's worth doing to S-OFF. If you do, you'll have the ability to relock the phone and put it back to S-ON with zero indication that you ever messed with it. Also, CIDs are used to restrict ROMs from certain carriers to only be installed on certain devices. It's really only a stock or stock-leak ROM limitation, I don't think a single ROM in either the regular or original development section is CID-locked. Either way, if you are S-OFF, you can change your CID code to whatever you want it to be (the code "111111") is referred to as "SuperCID" because that allows you to in theory run an RUU/OTA from ANY Carrier regardless.
You are correct about what an RUU is. However, each RUU is specific to a build of Android made by the carrier, and so far, I think only the Sprint RUU is out. No one has a T-Mo RUU yet (but you really don't need one, all you have to do is flash the stock rooted ROM from our section here and then unroot from the SU app options).
Enjoy tinkering.

You're going to enjoy the One. It's the first Android phone to have the build quality of an iPhone with specs that beat the pants off it
The only thing that sucks about the One is that because it has such a high pixel density, you will be extremely sensitive and aware of pixels in all your other displays (laptop/desktop/tablet etc).
I own an ASUS Zenbook, which is a 13" ultrabook with a full 1920x1080p display which is retina-levels of dense on such a small screen (I think it's almost 170 pixels per inch). The One? The one is a whopping ~470 pixels per inch. It is stupidly dense and I promise you won't find a single pixel no matter how hard you look.

Is everyone forgetting the AT&T/Telus One X+?

Hi,
So I have been a member of this forum since I had my first HTC phone (the Inspire). Recently (maybe a year or so ago?) I got my HTC One X+ (AT&T) and I was looking forward to custom ROMs since there were numerous problems with them on my Inspire (look at my past posts). I am running Elegancia 5.2.0 which is still based on the 4.1.1 Jellybean. I want to move to a custom ROM with a 4.2.2 base, but the only things I find are international versions of the ROMs. Have developers completely just forgotten the AT&T/ Telus versions of the phone? Why is no one developing ROMs for both versions of the phone anymore? Is there anyone that is working on an updated ROM for the AT&T/ Telus version? I understand that developers are dedicating their time to produce these ROMs, but why has the other version of the phone just become completely forgotten?
Sorry for the rant, but I had to get this off since it has gotten agonizing not being able to run the newest Android OS with a custom ROM since no one produces anything else except international versions. Thanks for reading.
Mindaugas
If on anyone blame it on AT&T. They have not released to us the 4.2.2 update. Devs are always with us and still developing amazing pieces of work... you just have to read to see.
Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk 4
All the problems can pretty much be blamed on the carriers almost exclusively. There are devs who would make a updated rom if they had the source. As for porting international ROMs over, as was common practice for the Inspire 4G and Desire HD, there are apparently hardware issues that come up that devs either can't fix, or just don't want to spend unneeded time trying to get working. (Like LTE)
In short, yell at ATT and/or Google and the manufactures for allowing carriers to hold up updates to fill it with crapware.

Thanks for explaining it to me guys. It just is annoying me to death.
i have also bought a htc one x+ instead htc one x international version (even though both were of same price).. didnt see the development ratio 1st and now i m regretting my purchase...
nothing much to test/play arround only elegancia and venom XL :crying:
Yeah, from what I understand it's got a lot to do with the hardware. Seems very few phones are using the tegras, etc. and as a result very few devs end up with the device...basically, it's just much easier to develop for the more standardized hardware so those are the devices the devs gravitate to. Add on to that very small number of devs that there's no s-off, no 4.2.2 update, etc. and you have your reason.
I was also hoping to have more to play around with on this phone, but unfortunately that seems highly unlikely. As time goes on we'll probably see less development and fewer devs rather than the other way around.

Switching Over From A Nexus

Hey there community!
So my Nexus 4 had a little accident involving a ladder the other day. Let's just say this bad boy I'm currently typing on loses more and more of its screen every day, soon it'll be totally unusable.
So I'm going to be buying an HTC One off of Kijiji. Would this switch make me happy? Anyone that's been on the Nexus line or people that just love the phone, what do You think? I know development is nowhere as 'busy' and I do love the physical look of the phone, but I just want to hear your thoughts.
Also, regarding rooting and flashing... I hear you have to flash kernels through ADB or something? Is that the same for ROMs if true? I also noticed the international forum is much more active. Being a Pentaband and device, does that mean we can one flash ROMs from this forum? I'm not sure.
Also how friendly is this community ?

Well the only nexus i've had was the nexus 4 and i can say i am very happy. I have had no regrets. I dont know what you mean by key els through adb but rom flashing is done similar to all other phones, through recovery.
You mention about flashing roms from this forum, are you gonna buy the tmobile version? if not then this is probably not the best place to post. I can say the tmobile version is compatible with most (probably all) international roms. I have not ran into a rom i could not flash from that forum.

Good news to hear.
I meant kernels*. I was reading something about this "S" thing supported by this phone which makes it so you have to flash kernels over adb rather than recovery, I'm a but unclear here.
Also I am going to be buying the T Mobile version, soley for the pentaband tech, because I'll be running it with Mobilicity here in Canada. So that's more good news that I can flash from the International thread!

I meant kernels*. I was reading something about this "S" thing supported by this phone which makes it so you have to flash kernels over adb rather than recovery, I'm a but unclear here.
Also I am going to be buying the T Mobile version, soley for the pentaband tech, because I'll be running it with Mobilicity here in Canada. So that's more good news that I can flash from the International thread!

Well that's a relief. I'm hoping to pick up this phone tomorrow. I'm really excited after looking into it more and from this post.

Trust me, you'll love it... Keep in mind the camera can be the biggest issue as some users just do not like it. I personally like it, it works for my needs... I would suggest going into the international forum for more user support (not even sure why tmobile has its own forum)...

I'm sure I will
Well, I like the wider lens. To be honest, I don't use my phone to take extreme pics, just Instagram and SnapChat stuff. From the Nexus 4 camera I think it'll be a step up. Regardless, I have my t3i for my real photography stuff .
Haha. I thought there was a difference in forums. I guess I'll stick around both here and there.
