adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system

Is the method I used: But I did it from shell as

#mount -o remount,rw /system
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NJGSII:
ran adb remount in the wrong window. Did everything and rebooted lets see if it works.

---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

Downloaded super su, said it need to update binarys and that failed. Phone is not rooted.

I followed the instructions to a t.

Let me try again
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xfinrodx:
Check permissions and ownership of su.

adb shell ls -l /system/xbin/su
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gtung99:
This root method must be a sick joke to see how many times we can try and fail!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jcase:
Try using supersu if chainsdd's superuser isn't functioning right.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NJGSII:
here is what came up

-rwsr-sr-x root root 22364 2012- 05-25 11:28 su
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jcase:
When I get home I will update with supersu instead, tired of constant issues with superuser.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Gromet:
I'm in the exact same spot and got the exact same results...

..Gromet
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
I'm still struggling. I feel like such a noob. This time i try repeated ls -l local.prop in /data directory during the process. During the entire download and install my local.prop is 2658189 bytes and -rw--------- permissions (owned by system). Never changes.....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NJGSII:
I tried both actually and no dice.

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

The file got pushed to the phone obviously, but something isn't working right.

Glad to see I'm not the only one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
^How did you manage to time the reboot? Give me some tips. Also, are you deleting and recreating the symlink between each try?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jtwlbz:
ok i went thorough all the step w/o errors but then superSU keep failing for update??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NJGSII:
The way I did I got lucky.

As I was doing the method to check the download status, my mouse slipped. I managed to get over to my other cmd window to hit reboot and it worked.

After hitting finish on the phone I reckon the perfect time to hit adb reboot is around 3.5 seconds.

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

You're in the same boat as Gromet and I.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Gromet:
used the "Pro" LS -l in a second ADB Shell window method. As soon as the download hit 3801413 bytes, I waited a quick second and hit the reboot I had waiting in a second ADB Shell window ready to go.

..Gromet
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jtwlbz:
how i did it was as soon as you see "installing ..." on status bar, hit adb reboot fast
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dharani1234:
...Removed the script ....script doesn't work without busybox ....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jtwlbz:
feels like something wrong on su we pushed?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NJGSII:
Might be I reckon.

Like I said, the file seems to be on the phone, but something isn't clicking.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jcase:
Could been bad upload on the su, find another and I'll upload when I get home.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NJGSII:
Ok I'll redo the entire process with a different su file. and report back
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gtung99:
I tried it and it just keeps scrolling to /data/install/com.att.android.markthespot.apk: No such file or directory

Are we sure that apps gets installed into data/install folder? I installed another app 'bug villiage' to test and I didn't see any apk listed in there. Does apps get put in there temporarly?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NJGSII:
Stupid question, but where do we find another SU file?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Gromet:
There is one if you follow the links from the stickied original ROOT thread. The one for the 1.7 root method. There is a su file in the zip you need to DL for that root.

..Gromet
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mbaran:
I think there's no awk binary for it to call.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jtwlbz:
any luck with other SU guys?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gtung99:
szie is supposed to be size right? or is it purposely mispelled?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jtwlbz:
i can try with SU for 1.7 but i am not sure if that is supposed to be working for 1.85.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dharani1234:
tks for the update ... I am running the CleanRom ...perhaps the toolkit was installed with it.

Can you pls check if "cut" binary is present ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mbaran:
/system/bin/sh: cut: not found
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Raadius:
So let get this correct, I can flash the newely 1.85 (currently on stock), and use THIS root proccess and it will work?

Than use the one-click CID tool and than run HTC Dev to unlock my bootloader?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jtwlbz:
i don't think it is working now. the attached SU from OP seems not working..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NJGSII:
Just tried with another SU file and it still isn't working.

Going to try with the SU from the sticky in this section.

On first notice that file is bigger than the one that came with this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] techteacher2:
If you are getting root inside of adb and are having trouble pushing a new su, try this command:

adb shell "su -c 'echo ro.kernel.qemu = 1 > /data/local.prop'"

then

adb reboot

then continue the instructions with adb remount. (make sure you change out the su file)

I used the su from kennethpenn's old root method along with supersu and now have root on 1.85.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Gromet:
I got it to work with the SU from the original Root sticky for the 1.7 root.

I'm rooted, SuperSU installed, binaries updated, and Titanium Backup is installed, asked for Root permissions and granted fine...

..Gromet
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jtwlbz:
ok let me try that then..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
something strange is going on. I wonder if ATT already pushed a fix. I still cannot get adb root access and my local.prop in /data has last modified time of like 4 hours ago....and I've tried it SEVERAL times since.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NJGSII:
Got it to work with the same file.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jtwlbz:
now i am getting link failed File exists error when i do

adb shell ln -s /data/local.prop /data/install/com.att.android.markthespot.apk

arggggg
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robertmoore208:
adb shell cant find device any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NJGSII:
download HTCsync. Let it install everything then restart your computer.

Should work after then.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robertmoore208:
ok, ill do that again.. damn windows comps
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gtung99:
i give up! either my phone is special and doesn't store these apks in that folder or i just can't time it right. I hope someone can come up with a script to make this work 100% of the time.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
got it. And easier way to time it is via adb shell cd into /data

then

ls -l local.prop

over and over and over you'll see THAT file grow and once you see permissions switch from -rw-------- to -rw-rw-rw- do the adb reboot asap
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fuybjeans:
Same with me. I followed the steps, seemed to push the SU ok, but couldn't get root access. Trying again with different SU, and now I'm getting Link Failed at that same spot.

UPDATE: I did a factory reset and it resolved that issue. Still trying to root...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robertmoore208:
still says devices not found
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jtwlbz:
are you sure on that?

i never got that changed like that..? and the att mark spot is already installed..:confused:

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

ah damn i give up.. i tried like 20 times and still permission denied..

i got lucky when i tried it first time and went through everything and.. SU is bad..

so replaced su with 1.7 one and can't get it now.. driving me a nut..

i think i am going to wait for better way.. or try it later again tomorrow.. =(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jsuresh:
i think we got bad "su" file in the OP. Can't seem to get root...

any other su file that we can use?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jtwlbz:
also in order to make this way little easier we need to try some other a lot bigger app than att mark stop thing it is installing too quick to catch the moment.. almost impossible i think..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xfinrodx:
Here's the su in my phone, pulled from /system/xbin

...maybe it'll work better for you guys.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jcase:
I replaced the su with a new compile, please let me know if the new one doesn't.

It is from the superuser by chainsdd version.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jtwlbz:
do we really have to go through everything again even if the original bad su is there?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jsuresh:
I was able to do first time on first attempt with bad su file, now I can't seem to catch the install correctly...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jcase:
no, the "bad" su should still work from adb shell from what I understand, you can jsut manually replace it.

adb push su /data/local/tmp/su

adb shell

su

monut -o remount,rw /system

cat /data/local/tmp/su > /system/xbin/su

chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su

chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jcase:
If you still have the bad su in place, from what I understand is it works fine while in adb? Is that correct?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jsuresh:
Yes, adb shell su works fine and I get the # prompt.

---------- Post added at 05:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

These commands worked perfect...Thanks OP. Whoever had bad SU file, you can use these following adb commands, it works.

adb push su /data/local/tmp/su

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

cat /data/local/tmp/su > /system/xbin/su

chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su

chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jcase:
Sorry for the original typo and the bad su file guys, at least it is working out now.

This happens when you do this kind of thing without actually having the phone lol.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jtwlbz:
still not working. i used one from the other guy just posted. and working.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
I can tell you from experience if you end up rebooting before the local.prop is complete, something bad happens and you may need to restore and hard reset before you can try again. Studying the local.prop for permission change while the app is downloading is DEFINITELY the way to do it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fuybjeans:

I can't, however unlock bootloader...no matter how many times I try. Everything seems to go well with HTCDEV....I flash the unlock_code.bin over to my phone, select yes, but the bootloader still says relocked.

I came from an unlocked lower RUU then relocked to get the latest.\

Does anybody else have this issue?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
I got caught right in the middle of that. I selected an app to install and they disabled it right when I clicked finish so it didn't push the app to my phone

Do you want to downgrade to get root? If you have SuperCID and on 1.85, you can just root by the method I linked here:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jcase:
This does not appear to root on 1.85, requires root on a lower version to change CID...

I have root and unlocked bl. I'm concerned if I break something and need to flash to stock I'll have to flash 1.85 again and mode root now that we don't have root again.

wow at&t is again being that ass hole...

i got mine rooted earlier and am one of those lucky ones..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dkirchik:
Why not use CWM to flash superSU?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] saywhat4118:
Yeah why can't we just do this? Of course this will only work for the people who already unlocked the boot loader. Simply relock, run ruu, unlock again, flash cwm, flash su zip. I'm going to attempt this when I get home.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] aqtrans:
Actually that's exactly the method laid out in the 1.85 thread :D Seems to be confirmed to work for most people too, though unlocking the bootloader after upgrading seems to be finicky.

I'm about to try it, since I've been having periodic data lockups and the new radio reportedly improves this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] t0mmy:
Please report back after trying this, some people are saying they are unable to re-unlock after flashing the new ruu.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] supercluver:
Flashing the 1.85 ruu won't change my CID right? Say I have the superCID and am rooted and unlocked on 1.73 and have the unlock_code.bin file from htcdev.com for the superCID. I can flash 1.85 ruu (do I have to relock first?) Then unlock on 1.85 then flash CWM and flash SU and be rooted, right?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] saywhat4118:
I will but it'll be 2 hour or so before I attempt it. I'll post my results here.

Yes you are correct. If you have supercid it won't change after running the new ruu. Ruu just wont accept the unlocked bootloader that's why we are having to jump through hoops.

You have to relock then flash ruu, cwm, su. Just like posted above.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NJGSII:
I wonder how many people were trying to do the exploit via ready 2 go before att realized something was up. They were probably wondering why mark the spot was being downloaded so many times.

Sucks to hear about the people who are stuck at the moment without root.

In the mean time if anyone can give me access to one via linux or osx (ssh) would be much appreciated, and likely leave you with root when im done.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Ok just so I'm understanding this right. If we already unlocked on a lower FW and change the cid to supercid and have root we can re-lock, ruu 1.85, unlock again? but what about root? Will we still not have it?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gtkansan:

I believe I caught it just in time yesterday with the adb reboot.

Is there anything else I can try with this still sitting in there? Also I noticed that AT&T Mark the Spot app is in the Google Play store also. Does it download to the same data/install location on the phone?
