One x root

Hi. Will this root option leave the current Rom exactly as it is. Will I be able to get updates from HTC.

Thanks Gary.

i most have the post 1.85 version of the htc one x.. any way to confirm from the phones settings?

also tried on windows 7, xp, to no avail.. and the other one click didnt work either.

EDIT: again.. yep lol aT&T 2.20 (DAMN that sucks)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
Hey Guys. I'm getting ready to root my second HOX today. I noticed a lot of you having issues. I don't believe in the one click ROots. However I may just give this one a shot. Just an FYI. and "NO" 2.20 is UNROOTABLE untill further notice. You can check in the general disscusion there are a few threads on the 2.20.

(Edited) its been an min since if done this. Lol.

The bootloader can't be unlocked at HTCDev. Tried it last night. Twice.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cables2590:
Ok sorry about the noob question but I'm confused from reading previous post. So this method only works if your phones bootloader is unlocked for firmware 1.85. Now I thought I read we can only unlock the bootloader if the phone was rooted. I tried to manual root it but I keep getting stuck.. Thank for the help.

Thank u but can I use this method to root before unlocking bootloader or I absolutely have to do it manually? I tried manually but I don't think I know about adb enough cuz I kept getting stuck.. I was trying to remount adb but kept getting message remount failed: operation is not permitted
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
I know how frustrating this can be for all of you. I suggest googling" adb for android". Your going to want to know some of the uses and commands for this. SuperCid will help you get the bootloader unlocked. There's a back door there. Essentially you'll need to trick the phone into an update for the bootloader . So Google supercid unlock bootloader, and adb. I wish I had the time to roll out an op for step by step. Start there and I'll check this thread later and see if I can help further
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
ok Guys this OP will NOT work for 1.85. No dice. I've just completed the root process though http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1709296

Its works great. Again you will need to educate yourselves on adb. Now I just need to unlock bootloader with supercid and flash a recover. Or is it flash recover then unlock? Getting rusty. LOL :)

It will not work for me! I have 1.85.. I am using the root.zip file in the OP. And cannot get it to work for the life of me. I am on AT&T but was told it works now.

Also, htc sync loads up every single time the phone reboots during this process.

I've followed tips from all around saying disable adb manually before starting, and close HTC Sync Manager. USB Debugging is enabled.

It says AT&T in the title of the thread, why would it be there if it wasn't functional for that device?

Any help?

Below is what I get when running root.bat.

you have to give it the OK, do not type anything , just press lower right "Restore My Data" then after the home screen shows press enter in command prompt, do this with each backup, this is only way to get temporary root to change CID number

My personal opinion is that trying to root with the 2.20 exploit wouldn't brick your phone. It just would not take in adb. Flashing a international ROM would brick your phone for sure. There is all ways a risk involved in what we do here. Hell, I soft bricked my HOX this morning all ready. Lol got her back up though. :)

On the danger of sounding completely stupid, but I just failed trying to root my HTC One X using the instructions written here at the first post of this thread.

Getting the ADB connection to work was no problem (I successfully rooted my HTC Desire Z at a time, where you had to first DOWNGRADE your firmware and then even needed to create a gold card to unlock it, so I think I can handle difficult instructions).

But when I click on the root.bat all I get is a stream of error messages:

------------------------------------------

DON'T TOUCH THE DEVICE OR UNPLUG WHILE ROOTING!

Seems to me that I'd need root access to copy files like busybox or perform the other actions in the script.

But then again this tool is supposed to grant me root access!!!

What am I doing wrong?

My HTC One X is brand new out of the box featuring the following software info:

Could it be, that something has changed in the meantime and the rooting does not work any more as it did some months ago?

I have read about a 2.20 version causing problems, but my phone seems to be a 2.17, right?

I don't have the time to dig myself through several more 80 pages long threads, so if anybody has a quick answer, I'd highly appreciate it. It might also help other people just having received their One X to not run into the same trap.

Unfortunately, this method will not work for you. This is only for the S4 powered HTC One X. I believe your phone is tegra 3. There is a section here on xda for that version.

I didn't know that there is more than one HTC One X version. I know that HTC released the One + to make things more complicated, but that they released the same phone twice, once with a S4 and another one with a Tegra 3 processor was new for me.

I guess I have the Tegra 3 since I got it from my German provider Telekom (formerly known as T-Mobile Germany).

I am checking the other threads now, thank you.

The title of this thread is pretty misleading BTW. Since it says "[ROOT] One Click HTC One X (AT&T/Rogers/Others) (Win/Mac/Linux)" I thought I am covered by the "Others" part... :eek:
