Thank you, it was the HTC sync being open that caused it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] UnknownPleasures:
I just updated to .82 and ran root and confirm it works.

Have su and used TiBu.

Software Update

Do we have to unroot in order to get the att update?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tae_254:
No you don't, but you will have to root again once updated.

trying to figure out on mac with no luck. any help would be much appreciated
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mfpearson:
step 1: find a windows PC

... no, just kidding. i'm a mac guy too, but i've given up on trying to do android-related stuff on my MBP. i just use my wife's toshiba.

i think people were having success on macs by entering each line individually into the terminal, instead of running the batch file - might want to try that if you have any experience with terminal.

overall, this root + the 82 update = much better phone. the future is looking bright for this device - we're evolving at a very fast pace. many thanks, KP.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jayv81:
thanks for the reply. i am some what familiar with terminal but not sure of the commands. the wife will be bringing me a pc tomorrow so i should be ok then. i will need it to run the ruu anyway.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KitF:
Quick question:

Anyone know of a way I can get YouTube/Maps/Foursquare/etc links to open in their respective apps? This works fine on my Galaxy Tab, just not on my One X. I'm hoping it is something simple I can fix with root.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ravefolk:
Failed.

Well i'm not an expert in HTC things but, my phone restarts 3 times and i have no root, no su, no busybox. And yes, i have killed ADB and tried again. My phone is set to "only charge" (usb debug is ON) and im running stock rom (Htc one x's 4.0.3 untweaked) and using morelocale app to set the phone to Brazil Portuguese.

Did i miss anything?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Oridus:
I had to process the root a few times before it actually took hold and su/bb showed up
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ravefolk:
I tried this already, but unsucessful. :(

after the adb box goes away leave the phone alone. It will reboot one more time.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kennethpenn:
Let me know how/if it works.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kravguy:
Oh yeah baby. Very good news, very good news indeed. Will be trying this out a bit later. Again, Ty for bringing this to us.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kennethpenn:
Make sure to thank (or at least give a thought to) the people I listed in the OP. They came up with the exploit that was used!

Im a happy camper! Does anyone know if Titanium Back up works? All I get is the overview screen.

Edit: I'm an idiot. Disregard. All is well in root land.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrjaydee82:
I used the bat file to root...once done....i cant get to the lockring to unlock my phone to use...i try rebooting and still persists....any suggestions to getting my phone going again? thank you :(

never mind.....ran batch again and all is good. excellent work.....than you :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] designgears:
http://briefmobile.com/download-att-htc-one-x-stock-ruu

restore and try again
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kennethpenn:
If you don't want to restore, simply do the following:

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p33 /system
rm /data/local.prop
rm /data/local/tmp
mv /data/local/tmp.bak /data/local/tmp

That will bring back your lock screen and make the phone not sluggish. You'll have to re-try the root batch file. Make sure not to play with the phone or unplug it while rooting.

Edit: or just re-run the batch file. Looks like that worked just fine. :p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Thanks to everyone involved worked perfectly :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] timtucker:
The mac script is saved in Win format and needs a couple other tweaks... However running each command individually worked a treat for me on my MBP / AT&T HOX. Unless someone beats me to it I'll tweak the script and PM it to you kennethpenn for your approval.

"You have our gratitude"
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kennethpenn:
That would be awesommeee. :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PeterGuru:
What if you already rooting using ...

Okay, perhaps an ignorant question, but what would happen if you use this method, yet you already used the Superboot r2 method by Paul Obrien?

Are there any differences?

Thanks,

Peter
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kennethpenn:
There's no need to use this method if you've already used the superboot one. The superboot.img only works with an unlocked bootloader, which means only Rogers users can utilize it. The method in this thread works on all One XL devices. It doesn't involve swapping the kernel (like the superboot method), so we don't need an unlocked bootloader to use it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] warri:
Great job to everyone evolved. Looks like I have some things to do tonight... Hopefully jcasr will release the bl unlock ad well.. :-)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nino313:
Had to stop the ADB.exe process manually but after that, everything went fine. TiBu is working fine for me. Thanks for everything
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kravguy:
Another quick question (and maybe something that should be mentioned in the OP for other folks), does this reset the device? Any backup of settings/apps needs to be done prior?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kennethpenn:
No it does not.

Edit: heading to bed (5:36 AM) so I'll be up in 8 or so hours for more questions and support.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] spyz88:
So glad I checked XDA before I shipped back my One X to AT&T :D

Thanks to those for the exploit and kenneth for the tool. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] daraj:
On the other thread they were saying that after rooting this method for ATT the device will be laggy. Any thoughts ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] craig@xatik:
I believe kennethpenn was able to resolve that issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eraste:
This threw me off at first to. We need to note somewhere that this root process makes the phone reboot 4 times after the fourth your phone will stay on.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mfpearson:
on the 4th, mine just shut off... waited several minutes, but it didnt turn back on. i turned it back on, and the process was complete.

sounds like different things are happening/working for different people.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tae_254:
I agree with you. It would have saved me so much time if I knew that it would reboot again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ravefolk:
Ok, trying it right now!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] hydralisk:
Just wanted to throw my name into the "success" hat. Tested by adding widgets from the APEX app drawer (which requires root). It worked.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ravefolk:
Five minutes after the 3rd reboot and my One X still on! =/

how much time for the 4th reboot?

o.O
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:

I made a video of the process. If any of you can watch and tell me what im doing wrong, ill appreciate. Cuz i cant understand why i couldnt get the damn "4th reboot".

[°_°]
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
I watched the video and don't know how long you waited after the phone booted all the way up before messing with it but on mine after the first 2 reboots the phone would never boot all the way up but after the third it booted all the way just like it did in your video. So I just left it alone and then after a minute or two it did the the 4th reboot and everything was successful.

I waited about five minutes and no 4th reboot.

Are you guys sure that this process suits to the international tegra 3 HTC ONE X too? Or is it just for american version? :/
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KitF:
This is for the LTE version only.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MU-Biomed:
I unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your OS persuasion) do not own a windows system. If someone makes progress on the Mac please post how you did it because I would love to dump some of this bloatware.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mfpearson:
you know that you can disable most of the bloatware without even rooting?

just go to settings > apps > all, tap the app you want to disable, and tap "disable" in the upper right corner. i'm pretty sure you can disable almost every at&t bloatware app this way.

also, if you can get a virtual machine going on your mac, that would be another solution.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Root-Maniac:
Worked flawlessly thanks I appreciate it
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
I bought a Macbook Pro a couple months ago but unfortunately had to sell it due to financial reasons but I used BootCamp to make a small partition and installed Windows 7 and was just like owning a Mac and a PC. Best of both worlds. Was able to do any and everything on it that I could do on a PC. Just a thought.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] AndreaCristiano:
can someone please post a step by step using a mac...please
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greenkabbage:
First of, you should know what you are doing. You can cause real damage as root, so it's probably best to read up on Android, ADB, fastboot etc.

With that said, try opening up the root-mac.sh file in a text editor.

Replace all $kenneth with adb-mac

Then, line by line, copy the ./adb-mac lines and paste them into a terminal.

If you get through all the commands, peachy. Otherwise, you now know where the process failed and debug the issue from there.

Good luck.

p.s. I did the line by line thing myself to see what's going on, but I'm on Windows.

This method worked well for me!

Swyped from my HTC One X using XDA Premium App.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xandr115:
Got it working on the mac, but had to run through the scripts twice. The shell script doesn't work. First time, I tried typing each command, but I guess I was distracted at one point and the phone rebooted by itself before i could do the second remount command... by the time I finished, the Superuser binary couldn't update itself and I didn't have root.

Ran through a second time, did a find/replace on $kenneth like you suggested and did a line by line copy paste and it worked like a charm. Thanks all!

I did my best at implementing my edits to Kenneth's shell script for Mac. I opened the file in "vim" and noticed a bunch of formatting characters that windows added. I cleaned those up, replaced the $kenneth variable mentions for adb-mac and voila... looks like its working. I've attached it below for you more "adventurous" souls.

####AT YOUR OWN RISK#####

####I DO NOT CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR BRICKED DEVICES####

1. Download the root-mac2.txt file to the directory of Kenneth's original zip (in post #1)

2. rename the file from root-mac2.txt to root-mac2.sh

~ Probably best to open terminal window and do this:

"cd /PATH/TO/UNZIPPED/FILE/"

"mv root-mac2.txt root-mac2.sh"

3. make sure the shell script is executable

"chmod +x ./root-mac2.sh"

4. cross your fingers, plug in your phone and follow Kenneth's instructions to run script.

5. you should be rooted...

####AGAIN, YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK####

####I DO NOT CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY OF ANY BRICKED DEVICES FROM THE USE OF THIS SCRIPT####

####YOU "SHOULD" BE ABLE TO RESTORE FROM RUU IF IT DOESN'T WORK####

Again, Props to Kenneth and all those who contributed before :-)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Nickel Dime Bay:
Rooted and everything is good, thanks to the OP.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PeQuEsan:
If your phone has branded stock ROM, then you'll need branded RUU to be able to go back... In my case there's no Orange Spain RUU available.

So correct answer is: NO... not always.

It installed SU application. I am not sure if it rooted the phone or not. I went to x file explorer and tried to install fm apk it would not install that app. It said application not sourced from android market

Is my phone now rooted?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] belyle:
Impossible to tell given the information in your post. Probably not if you didn't follow the directions in the first post.

Your problem is unrelated to rooting. You need to enable installation of apps from external sources. Go to "settings" > "Security" > and check the "unknown sources" checkbox. Then try installing your app again.

You may want to consider staying stock and not rooting, though. It sounds like you don't know what you're doing on your phone and are liable to cause damage if you're rooted.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] craig@xatik:
I was able to get the FM Radio app to install.

Here is what I did.

First download the apps you want from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25636866&postcount=2

Go in to your phone using ES File Explorer and navigate to /system/app and delete/backup the FM radio and FM Radio service. (including the .odex files)

Now take the files you downloaded and put them in to the /system/app folder.

Restart your phone and they should appear.

My FM radio is working great.

p.s. You might have to fix the permissions on the new .apks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pss16:
Thanks much for the reply. I am able to see the /system/app folder from x-plore file explorer. I am not able to reach there from ES file Explorer.

Does ES file explorer allow to change the permission of files on the phone? I understand I have to change permissions
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] craig@xatik:
Yes, but you have to give it root access first.

Also, you need to ensure that you mount the root directory so you can make modifications (You can only do this after you give ES File Explorer admin rights)

Further Instructions for mac users

Not sure what I missed, but I am using a mac and i see there seems to be issues as well. I have rooted a few times but am no expert, but can root given exact instructions and the root works not only for me but others who have success letting me know it works as advertised. In my error in rooting(which has been a little while), I come across double clicking root-mac.sh and nothing happens. With a Mac I know I need no drivers and per instructions all I do is double click one file and it works. Wrong! I've read back a few pages to see whats the haps with why its not working with a mac, unless edited manually. Per instructions its just too simple to mess up with a mac and with that said if this is not a one-click root for the mac and editing needs to be done can the detailed info please be added to OP?

Been away from flashing.

I used this to get the ATT One X rooted. I'm assuming it worked since I was able to install bunch of apps I had with my Evo, but it seems like there isn't a recovery set up for rom manager.

I did read few threads about it, but still confused. Is there a screen I can check regarding S-on S-off like Evo had? If yes, how can I get to the screen?

Assuming my phone is now rooted, how do I install recovery so I can start flashing again?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Christopher3712:
I have a Rezound but am checking on some things to root these for some friends. Usually, with HTC devices, you power off the phone, hold volume down, then press power to boot into the boot loader. It'll give you a white screen and let you know if you have S-ON or S-OFF. Unless you specifically S-OFF'd the device, which I doubt, you'll see S-ON. You'll likely install recovery through fastboot.

***EDIT*** Make sure you disable 'Fast Boot' before powering down, as the phone won't truly power off; rather it drops to a deep hibernate mode. 'Fast Boot' option is found in settings/power/Fast Boot.
