I'm just wondering as to the status of gaining root access on the AT&T 2.20 update. I just bought my HOX via a third party, and it came with 2.20, so right now I'm SOL.
I know ETA's don't typically exist, but will creating a bounty help move this along?

Bump
Hopefully someone finds an exploit because I want to install a custom rom so badly!
:crying:
There's nothing to report. My gut feeling is we will need to be granted sanctioned bootloader unlock to get root again.

sorry I'm not so good with rooting. Does that mean that we need htc to let us unlock our bootloader so we can install a rooted android os?

Yes or someone needs to find a new exploit for the new 2.20 to allow root.

Yes. At the very least we need unlocked bootloader in order to install a custom recovery so we can install root.
I found this just a moment ago. I have no clue if these would work though.

You need to be rooted and bootloader unlocked to flash a ROM.

Lol that rom is from one of our devs it's his website the rom is in the dev section its a rooted version of the update without the hboot. It does no good to anyone who took the ota that was locked and had no root prior to doing so.

I'm afraid I'm not as versed in Android phones as I am with Apple. It seems that Android is a bit more complex. Well, I tried to help, hehe.

If you have a retail outlet around you (i.e. Best Buy, etc.), you can do what I did. Return the new phone and buy one from old shelf stock. If they received it before August then it's guaranteed to have firmware of 1.85 or older.
This is really bad!
any news or updates about being able to root 2.20? I have a HOX on 2.20 and i'm wondering if I should just sell it or wait

As of now still no updates on when root will be achieved.
There is thread in the general section

That is where you will find the most update info.

I hope for your sake you rooted and unlocked your bootloader prior to running the RUU because if not, you're stuck.
there's no Root for 2.20

Thank you for all your help, you have been very helpful
Quick question for you guys. My HOX is currently running 4.0.4. I have yet to root it. I received notification that the JB update is available on my phone today. If I was to go ahead and update what are the chances I'll be able to root in the future? Would you recommend rooting now, unlocking the bootloader, and flashing this beastie now with another rom?
Thanks for the advice.
To be safe I would root and achieve s off before doing the ota.
I am not 100% certain that the current exploits to achieve root will work once you take the plunge and do the ota.

Absolutely.
Yes, definitely root and S-off first. I was shaking my head in disbelief where a couple of people in the x-factor exploit thread were lamenting the fact that they cannot now root after taking the OTA. What?? You had all this time to root while AT&T was taking its sweet time releasing JB, but instead you wait, take the OTA, and now you decide you'd like to root?

Bam! The beastly One X has been rooted and I've installed the latest Vipor XL Rom. So.... would you folks recommend I go ahead and S-Off? Is this truly necessary?
Thanks again :laugh:
Makes life easier not having to flash boot.img, you can run older ruus, and you wont brick if you take the ota.

Yes. It will make your life much easier in the long run.
One example: Folks who were SuperCID and s-on, who took the recent JB ota, are now bricked because of the CID check. S-off turns all security checks off.
AT&T Evita One X
I did the JB OTA update to 3.18 and am curious how (if possible) to rollback to 2.20?
I have searched XDA for similar threads, but no luck. If I have started a new thread of something previously discussed, please point me in the right direction.

If you were s-off or at least unlocked beforehand, yes. If you were never rooted, no, unless you can get the X-factor exploit to work for you.

Neither one. Had to do an exchange of my old hox due to an issue that arose after root.
X-Factor??
Is that a root method?
Used a couple of Hansoon's last time to achieve root.
Haven't found a "one click" method for the AT&T Evita yet.

Yeah, I kinda found that out the last time I rooted my hox. Used a couple different Hansoon all in one toolkit to achieve root last time. Unfortunately, no way to get s-off as of now. (unless something JUST happened)
Had to do a warranty exchange on my HOX also; the warranty device center rep thought i was weird for asking for a refurb that had 2.20 firmware...

If you are rooted or want root, you should never install an OTA without doing the proper research: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181929

That method is notorious for needing multiple attempts before working. Try it a few more times.
Try using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644167 , if still doesnt work try unlocking the bootloader using htcdev.com select onex at&t model then follow the steps carefully and flash custom recovery

That method only works for 1.73 and 1.82 bases. Also, AT&T is blocked on htcdev.
