It could take several attempts to get the update. If it doesn't work then set the date ahead 2 days, reboot the phone and try again. Also, if your on AT&T data try using wifi if you have it. I don't know if it really matters but I couldn't get it to work on AT&T data but worked first try with WiFi.

When it tells u to check in the script that's when u look. If it sits there for a few minutes then set the date ahead 2 days, reboot and try again. If it is successful then it should reboot almost instantly after u check for the update.

I'd love to. I've solely used miui for the past two years. It's my android life blood!

For what it's worth, I was on wifi when I did this. It took two tries of searching for the update before it started the process.

The script definitely works!

Please help....I was rooted on a previous version and don't know what I screwed up trying to root 1.85 but now my phone is giving me a "restricted access changed - data service is blocked" message....any ideas on how to fix this?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
My phone has done that several times but it goes right away.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] whysebastian:
Do you guys think this is dead? The script says server not running before it runs now, and my phone tells me software is up to date check in 23 hours
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
How many times have you tried setting the date ahead, rebooting and re-running the script? Also, are you on data or WiFi?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] whysebastian:
ive done it like 4 times setting the date to the 15, the 16, 17th, and I'm on wifi
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
Well, I don't think it would matter but the op says to set it 2 days ahead and not one. Have you ever used adb or do you have adb setup on your pc?

This doesn't work on 1.89, only on 1.85
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iastonish:
When I run it it says starting daemon, then everything is out of date. Then runs a bunch of script and says done and reboots, but nothing changed.

On 1.85 with the drivers posted in op. Charge only and usb debugging checked. Also tried manually moving the date up two dates to no prevail.

Any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XNine:
1. Make sure wifi is enabled and Try a different USB port

2. Set your date ahead 2 days. Go to Apps in Settings and go to Updater, choose clear cache/info/etc. Reboot.

3. Double click the ADB command file in the folder.

4. Make your way to the Settings menu, and stay there.

5. Double click the RootScript file.

6. When it says "check for software update" in the command prompt, do so.

7. Phone should reboot multiple times. Let it sit for a few minutes while it cycles through. If it starts downloading the ATT update, kill it.

I have HTC One X and I would like to ask if this could work with my phone, or only for the USA AT&T phones. Please, let me know!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 95neon1025:
well i can say this im stupid. come to find out im on 2.20 not 1.85. so no luck for me now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] QQNoob:
I just got a new phone as an insurance replacement. My old phone's screen cracked by dropping on its back a mere three feet onto a hardwood floor (with a TPU case.) :(

Luckily, my replacement had 1.85! :victory:

Unfortunately it's white, instead of the dark gray I purchased. Boo! :( (My black TPU case covers most of it anyway.)

So, I had to root this new device. I tried this one-click method about 8 times and it never worked. I rebooted manually, had Wifi turned on, messed with dates, all sorts of things. It never got past "Waiting for phone to reboot." I tried the old manual way and it worked like a charm. I don't know what the deal is, but I see I'm not the first person who couldn't get this to work and had to resort to the manual method.

I have a suggestion for a note to add to the OP. Since there is now a legitimate update available for AT&T you should add a note to never accept it. That should be obvious, but some people may click the Check for Updates button and get prompted by AT&T to download their update. That happened to me and for a second or two I thought it was part of the rooting process. People who don't really know what they're doing might actually click OK and end their chances of rooting.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
since AT&T released an OTA I think the manual method works better and perhaps this script should be abandoned, the author has moved on from the HOX anyway.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] doubledrake20:
I've read the forum over n over again, got familiar with the process before i started trying to root.

I'm debugging enabled, turned off fast boot, charge only.

I followed the OP and when it told me to check for the update, it did and started to download the update, then it restarted itself, rebooted (all while the usb is plugged in).

root.bat said success but its still not rooted. I am now on 2.20 from 1.85 because i left it to update when it prompted me to check ATT update.

Am i stuck with 2.20 and no chance to go back to 1.85 to gain root again????

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

now i see this post ^

is there anyway to go back to 1.85 to do the manual method? or am I screwed?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
You're stuck. I'm so sorry :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] QQNoob:
I sent a PM to designgears to ask him to either ask the mods to unsticky and close this thread if it's not working and he's not going to maintain it, or if it does work and some of us just couldn't get it to go then to at least update the OP with a warning not to accept the over the air update.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] doubledrake20:
No worries, at least I didn't brick it, lol. I'm sure there will be root for 2.20 soon enough and plus, I'll get to figure out why there are so many sense-lovers out there..

Best buy accidentally sold me used phone so I can go there but they only have white ones....any advice greatly appreciated. Im addicted...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
If you unlocked your bootloader prior to the update to 2.20 you should be able to use the same unlock token you used the first time to re unlock and then install recovery preferably twrp since It's officially supported on our device cmw is not. The only thing from this point forward you will need to flash boot.img from fastboot when flashing a new rom. You will also need to flash radios from fastboot. The hboot blocks the ability to flash them from recovery now.

I've also had it fail on me twice then restart, date push and restart again. However SuperSU is now installed but it does not have permissions yet. Am I on the right track or am I messing something up horribly?

Finally Worked!!

OMGOMG

After 5 hours of trying, the script worked for me. I tried a combo of the manual instructions and the script and I can tell you that as of today Aug 31, the script root method still works on 1.85.

My problem for the longest time was that the phone was auto checking for the update and the notifications were popping up saying that software was available and would be downloaded (2 separate messages). after a few fastboot factory resets, i was able to set the date forward and recheck for software updates in peace. That was the breakthrough I needed to keep retrying the script. I did get errors on the script, but it worked! Root check is all nice and green.

Moral of the story, keep trying! Took me 5 hours.

hey guys - sorry for the "I haven't read all the million pages on HOX" post but ...

I did the root & bootloader unlock mentioned in the OP on my wife's new phone yesterday. Works great!

This is not a phone that I get to hack on... it's my wife's phone and she's not going to use a custom ROM. She's going to use the stock AT&T ROM 100% of the time for the next two years.

Now the phone is telling her there is a new OTA update, and there are some fixes that are probably valuable. So I am just double-checking. Taking this OTA update will not unroot or re-lock the bootloader, correct? In other words, there is no compelling reason NOT to take the OTA update, right?

So anyone want to warn me off of taking the update?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
You will lose root of course, but you can unlock the bootloader again and push a recovery like twrp and re root.
