reboot and try again! push your clock up two days.

YUP! but there is a one click for that too ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crizthakidd:
when it tells you to check for updates do you actually go and do it ? mine just stays there for 10 mins says there is an error check later and then the cmd stays hanging on waiting for reboot

also if my bootloader is unlocked and i have twrp working do i need to root or am i already rooted somehow
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
If you have twrp you are wasting your time here.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
I'm not trying to be a **** by saying this. What are you doing? Do you know what root is? Unless I'm misunderstanding your post, you really need to read up on things before you screw up your phone. If you have an unlocked bootloader and TWRP, you are already rooted.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] achllles:
Exactly. He knew how to unlock, and install custom recovery, but doesn't know if he's rooted?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crizthakidd:
Was gonna leave the thread alone but to defend myself I just had no idea I was rooted. I literally flashed 1.85 for the first time so how the heck did I somehow have root? I unlocked fine and then I finally got twrp to work no where did this bat file work for me so i thought I was missing it. still don't know how I'm rooted but I guess its all good since I flashed a custom Rom. oh well carry on

---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------

I don't know if I'm missing something I've move the date two days and nothing! I restart, I push forward 2 days, restart and run the script again and nothing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] k4p741nkrunch:
You might want to try updating while connected to a WiFi network instead of the cellular data network. When I connected to WiFi the next update worked immediately. Also, as mentioned earlier, be sure to be at a minimum of 40% battery for best results.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] D3LTA:
1.78.402.1 is Eu update for htc One s

I tried hut it doesnt work...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jesusdavid:
I have been connect to WiFi and my battery was at 80%. Maybe I'll search for a video maybe I'm just missing something.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] k4p741nkrunch:
I didn't restart after setting the date forward. Make sure it's two days ahead each time, you have a good WiFi connection, and you only check for updates when instructed by the script. A lot of people have been having issues here that can be solved by these tips.

As mentioned before, be sure that HTC Sync is not running (kill it in task manager), you are using the factory supplied USB cable, you are on update 1.85.x.x (check this in about phone / software), and confirm ADB can see your device with the "adb devices" command.

Apart from that, set your phone to charge only, ensure debugging mode is on, and try all your USB ports.

If this doesn't solve your problem, then may whatever god you pray to have mercy on your poor soul.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Try the manual method in the other thread.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
make sure u got the drivers states in the OP, and make sure you UNZIP the root folder first...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jesusdavid:
OK let me get this right reboot, push date forward two days and than run script and when it ask to go check for updated I go to setting and check for update?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shgadwa:
Yes, that should work. If you're having problems I STRONGLY suggest that you try the manual method that beaups posted. It works, believe me. You just need to do it step by step and pay attention to instruction. But really, its not that difficult. Anyone can do it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jesusdavid:
OK going to try again if not will do the manual way. Thank you for all your help, will post if successful.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
Reboot after you move the date forward and before you run the script.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jesusdavid:
OK now it says my account update: checking for new software available now seem to be stuck, should I reboot and push forward and try again?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shgadwa:
I'm confused. You went to settings, and you checked for AT&T updates, and then it said "account update: checking for new software available now" And then its stuck?

It shouldn't take long but I'd give it a minute before rebooting. It should tell you that you have no updates available. If you're on the latest stock.

Also you are on AT&T right? If not, pull the sim, reboot, get on WiFi then check for updates. And also, you should try the manual method. If nothing else you can see whats going on step by step.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jesusdavid:
You are the ****ing man big ups I got it!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
So how'd you get it to go?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chatfan:
I'm not in a AT&T network right now, my phone have 1.85 and it's branded to AT&T, I have unlocked already for use any microSIM card around world but I want to root it and unlock bootloader but anytime that I CHECK FOR UPDATES always gives me try again later, should be important have an AT&T microSIM inserted and be in USA??

thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shgadwa:
Thats no problem. You can still get it to work if you don't let them know that you're not in an AT&T network right now. Pull the sim card out and reboot the phone. Now you will not have any network connection at all. Then turn on WiFi and connect to a WiFi hotspot of some sort. Then re-run the root steps (either the one click method or the manual method). Manual is better if you're having problems. Check for updates while on WiFi. It should work.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] yohinomura:
Or you can key in in your dialpad *#*#CHECKIN#*#* before you press check for updates in setting to trick at&t that you are in their network.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chatfan:
How big is the data for download on Wi-Fi?

how many Mb more or less?

Cause my internet connection is too slow..

thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shgadwa:
What data? If you're talking about the one click .bat and the su source, its not that big. If you're talking about the check for updates, thats barely data. I wouldn't worry about it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sebrina:
^ This, and don't forget to turn fast boot off as fast boot isn't really a real reboot.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lordgregus:
Quick question before I get home and do this tonight. Do I need to have adb or anything special installed? I'm coming from an iPhone so I'm completely new to this whole rooting process and any help would be appreciated. Is there some kind of dummy guide for people walking in with no knowledge of anything android whatsoever, but wants to learn?

Thanks guys, I love this community. Glad I switched.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shgadwa:
I've never actually used the one click method. It should be pretty easy and I'd give it a try if I were you. Otherwise the manual method is good, you can see whats going on step by step.

Yes you do need adb shell installs. Just install htc sync and then disable it. You want to be sure that you have the drivers needed to communicate with your phone, but you don't want htc sync on while you're trying to root.

Also make sure you have usb debugging enabled and put the phone in charge only mode.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vocalshock:
Straight Talk will work with method. I have done it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lordgregus:
So let me get this straight: I do need adb installed and properly set up prior to the one-click method? If so, is there a good resource that I can check out about setting up adb with the One X? I have zero knowledge of adb but am open to learning.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
The one click includes everything you need.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lordgregus:
Great! So I just did it, rebooted now I'm back to home screen. How can I check to verify that I'm rooted now?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jklitten:
You can use Root Checker to be absolutely certain.

If you tried it unsuccessfully a few times, you might have gotten that error. I'm pretty sure it happened to me but I was successfully rooted. Just try to run Root Checker (As linked a few posts back).

Also, check the phone and see if Super User is in fact in the app drawer
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] adtuck01:
Thanks you! I ran root checker just now and it said I did have root access and the SuperSU app was in my app drawer. I guess that it worked but the message it gave me just made it look as though it didn't.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chinapaulo:

Wow, major kudos for the 1.85 root. I ended up swapping phones with a 1.73 so I could root and unlock a few weeks back, but this is great for the android dev prospects!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Big_O:
For those having trouble, finally got it to work, You may have to push the date up 2 days (2 times) and switch to wifi. Go get adfree from the market and test it. If it says "no host" it's not rooted. If it starts with SU permissions then it's rooted. It did take a few tries but finally worked. Thanks to the Devs!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] atticusmas:
Silly at&t made it so you can only check for updates once every 24 hours... D:

EDIT: just change clock up 2 days.

EDIT: Still doesn't work because of spam errors in the command prompt:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shgadwa:
The partition is still read only. Nothing else will work if that is not corrected. Try the manual method. You either need to start over from the beginning, or remount the partition. I might be wrong but I believe the command you want is adb remount. Otherwise the manual guide tells you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] atticusmas:
Great but i tried it again and it looks like it's bricked in some way. I try to turn it on and it's a black screen with the notification bar, and it's super slow when i pull the bar down and i can't access anything from it. I just got this puppy today and I really, really hope it isn't dead D:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
When it's buggy, it's in emulator mode, which is what you want. That's when you push the su binary, fix the permissions, remove the local.prop, and reboot.

Hey all, just wanted everyone to know that I was still able to root with this process today 6-20-2012. It did take four attempts before it worked though. The first three times I did everything the same; the fourth and final try I changed from "Disk Mode" to "Charging Only" Not sure if that made the difference or not, but worked in the end.

Thanks to all that created this.

I need root :)

No to unlock bootloader <--- Oh boy here we go again. :)

Ok, I've had, rooted, and ROM'ed 2 other android phones, but cannot get this damn thing to work. I tried the script, didn't work. So I factory reset, and ran each line one by one to verify each step.

@adb push magic.sh /data/local/tmp/magic.sh

@adb shell chmod 06777 /data/local/tmp/magic.sh

@adb shell rm /data/data/com.redbend.vdmc/lib/libvd*

@adb shell ln -s /data/local.prop /data/data/com.redbend.vdmc/lib/libvdmscomo.so

@adb shell /data/local/tmp/magic.sh

@adb remount

Once I get to the next step, the line below, I type it in, hit enter, and it just sits there...hangs.

@adb push su /system/xbin/su

I've done this 6 times now to no avail. I've tried following the step by step instructions in both this batch file and the original "manual adb" way one by beaups, from here:

Hey I'm new to this device today, so sorry if this is stupid. I'm trying to get this installed, but its not working for me. Basically, my computer won't recognize my device. When I run adb devices with HTC-sync turned on, it's able to pick up the device. When I put the device on "charge only" suddenly, I can't find the device through adb. I tried reinstalling the USB drivers you posted in the first link, but no dice. Thoughts?

I try to run it... and it flashes the info about designgears blah blah... then nothing happens. Never thought I would have so much trouble getting a phone to root.... Guess I'm a n00b again

Edit: Now the it says *daemon started successfully* then it gives me a transfer speed. Then blinking dash.

On a separate, but related note, is there a IRC channel people are using for this device?

First of all THANKS for your script!!! and thanks to beaups for his exploit!!!

Just wanted to let you know that i added 2 lines below in bold to your script to make it work for TELUS devices. So i guess not only does it work for 1.85 but also works on 1.91 ;)

Just wondering if you could update your script with the following in bold for TELUS users: (as i don't want to take any credit for your script / beaups exploit)

ECHO Checking if patch can be applied
