hey guys, no matter how many times i try i can't get this to work. I'm on software version 1.85.502.3 and im having no luck at all keeps saying data/local.prop was not created then it can do any of the other things. any help?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kewlguru:
Thanks designgears for the bat file.

I did the first time, and I thought I got root. But checking the su app, confirmed that it wasn't the case. As suggested, I forwarded the date by two days and it worked like a charm.

Now am rooted. Next up is s-off

i have tried this every wich way possible. did everything the instructions said about a hundred times, i've rooted all my other phones in the past with no problems but this one is kicking my ass relentlessly. could NORTON 360 be affecting it even if i shut it down during the process? i realy didn't want to ask for fear of getting my but chewed out, but i don't know what else to do...

thank god i got it to work, i did not have to change the date. all i did was remove the sim card and activate wifi. :-))
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jonholato:
Thank You!

Thank you so much! Performed this last night and worked a charm after a little effort. Had to set the date forward two days and root worked no problem. Bootloader unlock was tricky for a noob like me because the website instructions and the filenames in the download don't match up 100%, but at the end of the day you can infer them and get through it. It was a little nervewracking knowing you can brick your phone if you mess up but I suppose I was never really in any danger. :)

Thanks again very, very grateful! How can I donate?

why cant i root my device?keep getting errors any other way to do it?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] yungskeeme:
I must be doing something wrong...USB debugging on, charge only.....click on the root.bat adb the script is u...screen says go check for updates...did that and all these errors popped up on the script...phone rebooted 3 times and no root...tried again and went two days forward...still nouck..I see people saying they did it on WiFi.I don't have any open connections..please help

I'm currently on 1.53, unlocked bootloader, and rooted.

Is there any benefit to restoring back to stock condition, updating to 1.85, and then re-rooting vs. just using a custom rom based on the update that is already rooted?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Amfibius:
For the past two hours I have been trying to root my phone. Followed all the instructions. No luck.

I know that my computer can see my phone - the "adb devices" command shows up the phone.

I tried setting the date forward and rebooting. No such luck.

The ONLY thing I can think of is my software ... I am running 1.89 on a Telstra HTC One XL. Does it work on 1.89?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sbryan12144:
No, this hack was made specifically for an AT&T system. 1.85 preferably. If you have a Telstra device, you should be able to unlock the bootloader from HTCDev.com without needing root. Then flash the custom recovery, then in that recovery, a rom of your choosing that's rooted.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exdroid1:
Thanks for the help! It took me about 10 tries. Everytime I had debugging on and the USB connection set to charge only. Also, I had to increment the date by two days and perform a reboot.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Amfibius:
Thanks for the response. The problem is - unlocking the bootloader will wipe all data from my device. My backup software (Titanium Backup) needs root.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] yungskeeme:
I finally got my phone next the bootloader...any idea how to do this on Mac? Signed up for an account on HTCDev.com but dont know what to do next.

Worked like a charm on my Girlfriends phone. Just got it today and found out the old method didnt work. I did mine before HTC did the whole update thing. For the people having problems, try changing you the cable from usb port after putting the phone two days ahead! that was the difference in my case!! :D

There seems to be no support in this thread. I am going to try again to root a One X this weekend. Would be nice if there were some insight in this thread but it seems like there isn't for all the errors and issues that are apparent...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jcabahug:
Woo Hoo! Got root!

When running the script, I was stuck at "Waiting for device to reboot..." thinking the script would initiate looking for the update from AT&T on it's own. I tried for 2 days and only this morning did I realize that I had to initiate the update from the phone (it only says so in the script window...sheesh).

Anyways, Prior to even running the script, I pushed the date 2 days ahead.

I then ran the script, checked for an update on the phone.

The script said something to the effect of being successful.

It rebooted. I checked SU to see if root actually was achieved.

Was sad to find that it had not as SU said it wasn't able to DL the SU binaries.

Ran the script again but this time it ran smoother.

It rebooted and checked SU again to see if it would DL the binaries. It did this time.

DL'd Terminal Emulator from Google Play to confirm that I had root.

Root confirmed!

Hope this helps!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dudeluv:
If you follow the instructions you should have no problems. If you do, it usualy is something that you didn't do, like exit HTC sync or not install the latest HTC Sync,(that has all the drivers)

I had that same problem. I don't know why I couldn't get the script to work but I ended up just going back to beaups instructions and just inputting the commands myself. It worked for me first try and only took like a minute or two.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] designgears:
takes a couple tries sometimes, sounds like everything worked out in the end :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] achllles:
Make sure you have enough battery for update.

I was around 35% when I ran it the first time, and it failed. Charged it to 4x%, changed the date, then ran the script again, and everything is well.

Thanks XDA, and outstanding folks!

OHHH MYYYYY GODDD, I LOVE U GUYS!! Thank u sooooo much beaups and dg. Just want to say, I tried doing it the manual way because I just like doing things like that but I could not get it to find an update. So I tried this method and it worked on the first try. One thing to note. I don't know if it really matters but when I was trying it the manual way I was on AT&T data but when I used this method I used WiFi and it worked first try. Like I said, I don't know if it matters but if your having trouble and your using AT&T data, try using WiFi. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danger355:
I had to go around the block a couple times, but it finally completed - though it still shows not rooted when I test with a Root Checker.

Should I run it again or try/wait for another way to do this?

Also, the Recovery screen shows 'TAMPERED' on the first line... does this void my warranty or am I just being paranoid?

thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] krazycanuck82:
was this update made to the script, what i wish to know is that if i do use this method to obtain root can i then flash [STOCK] AT&T RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US-1.82.502 and proceed to install roms as though my "stupid telus" branded phone were rogers or at&t. currently it is 1.91
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danger355:
Ok, I has root :)

but i had to use the manual method here (for those with the same issues i was having)

tested with root checker and all is good (no more ads, downloading clockwork rom manager now)

Anyone else get this?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] co.ag.2005:
same here... I can't get this to work. Got my One X just a few hours ago... also, every time I roll the date ahead 2 days (or 4 or whatever) I can't get it to even go check for an update.

EDIT: also, I don't have HTC Sync running and I can see my phone when I type the command adb devices.

EDIT 2: finally got it to work. I left everything alone for about an hour, came back, had DGs script up and kept forcing it to updates and it finally took. Thanks DG!

I got the same results, and I am running TWRP at the moment (flashing CWM to the phone didn't do anything bad... as far as I can tell... it just didn't work).

2.20.502.7 was released OTA today - any thoughts?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XNine:
I was the guinea pig for all! OTA kills root access.

After updating to the new ATT OTA, root is no longer granted. Tried updating SU, that went alright. It still functions. However, OTA Rootkeeper states that root access is no longer active.

So I clicked the Restore Root. SU informed me that Rootkeeper was granted access. But, nothing changed. I clicked the Restore Root button again, and the phone rebooted. Tried several more times, still, reeboot.

So, don't update to the OTA unless you are actually unlocked. Root gets killed.
