2. Install Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5

The installation will take place in two stages, first we will flash the kernel and then we will come to the ROM, without forgetting to save your personal data beforehand, it will never be obvious.

Backing up personal data

Since we are completely safe during such manipulations, I invite you to “copy and paste” your photos, music, videos and other personal files from your internal memory and (if any) microSD card.

You can use one of the following applications for this:

[appbox googleplay com.keramidas.TitaniumBackupPro]
[appbox googleplay com.sand.airdroid]

You can then export your contacts through the settings provided on your device and Save your SMS/MMS using this app:

[appbox googleplay com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore]

Finally, for backup of your apps and/or related data (for example your games), for example use Helium:

[appbox googleplay com.koushikdutta.backup]

This app requires the Helium client (Compatible with Windows, GNU/Linux and Mac OS) installed on your computer to work.

Kernel Flash

You unpacked the Flash Kernel archive before, so go to the extracted folder:

run the file Flash Kernel.bat :

Plug your HTC One X into your computer to have the kernel mirrored on your phone. Now we can proceed smoothly.

Installing ROMs

For the ROM, you will need to flash it as you would with a custom ROM like CyanogenMod. To start, turn off your smartphone and then press the buttons simultaneously to access the recovery Strength and “Turn the volume down”.

Start by clearing the memory by doing “wipe data / factory reset” and why not “wipe cache partition” :

do it later “Choose zip from SD card” and follow the installer steps before your phone finally reboots.

Here it is, Sense 5 and the delights of plating!

Solution

I hope flashing your HTC One X has been a great success and you will be one of those who successfully update it.

If you own this phone and have done the manipulation, please let us know the results to encourage others to throw it too.
