Install HTC One X Xylon Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean ROM

HTC One X user now can update to Android 4.2.2 jelly bean by installing Xylon custom ROM. It’s an Android Open Source Project (AOSP) based after market firmware. Which means it gives pure android experience. In order to install this custom ROM on HTC one X, you have to unlock its bootloader. You can follow this unlocking tutorial.

Like other AOSP custom ROM Xylon jelly bean ROM comes without the Google apps (Gapps), which mean there’s no Google services and some apps. Therefore you have to install the Gapps zip file right after the ROM installed.

This firmware installation wipes internal memory including contacts, SMS, user apps and data. Before starting the installation make sure that you have a latest backup. This ROM developed by the XDA developer aznrice2k4.

Warning!

Installing after market firmware voids the warranty.  If your device brick or damaged by following this tutorial I can’t claim its damages. Applying this tutorial at your own risk.
