HTC One X Android 5.1 Using Resurrection Remix ROM

HTC is no longer releasing new updates to the HTC One.  The highest that this device has gone is to Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and it does not seem likely that it be getting an official update to Android Lollipop.

Android 5.1 Lollipop has already reached a lot of devices either through Factory Images, an OTA update, manual updates using official firmware, and custom ROMS.  Most older flagships like the HTC One X are getting updated with custom ROMS and we’ve found a good one for you.

The Resurrection Remix Custom ROM is based on Android 5.1 and is available for a lot of devices, including the HTC One X.  As this ROM is based on Pure Android and AOSP sources, you get an amazingly smooth operating experience.  In this guide, were are going to show you how you can install Android 5.1 on an HTC One X using Resurrection Remix ROM.

Prepare your phone:

  1. Make sure you have the correct device. This guide is only for the HTC One X.
  2. Root your device and flash a custom recovery on it.
  3. When your device is rooted, use Titanium Backup
  4. When you have custom recovery, create a Backup Nandroid.
  5. Unlock your device’s bootloader
  6. Backup your important contacts, SMS messages, and call logs.

Note: The methods needed to flash custom recoveries, roms and to root your phone can result in bricking your device.  Rooting your device will also void the warranty and it will no longer be eligible for free device services from manufacturers or warranty providers.  Be responsible and keep these in mind before you decide to proceed on your own responsibility.  In case a mishap occurs, we or the device manufacturers should never be held responsible.
