There is a thread made that was pretty much a glossary index of terms for the captivate and the site. It would be a good one. And now I can't find it, but maybe someone will see my post and link it.

The best way to root is to use the hack kit because its flawless in execution. And all other methods have a higher chance of failing. So use the ace hack kit and use VM or boot camp to load windows and do it from there. Other wise go to a school or other windows computer and execute.
And please remember to post in the right section from now on. Otherwise it'll be an all out attack.
Just pack up the phone, send it back, and get an iPhone. Or you could start to follow the rules of xda.
I got your 10 char right here

Thanks and sorry for the rules. I thought this was correct but I didn't know there was a Q and A.

Use the search button.
Please close this. There is no room for miscategorization here at XDA forums.
you mean to say that you searched yet you posted in the wrong thread, not to mention the method is the first thing on the first page
Wow! The New Year started out with a bunch of grumpy members picking on the noob. Feel better about yourselves, folks?

Grumpy? no we aren't grumpy, it gets annoying when people either
A. Don't look or search before posting
B. Create a thread in the wrong section (ESPECIALLY the dev section)
This guy did both so hes gonna obviously get flamed by people who get angry about it. Guess you don't know the rules of the forum at all.
OK guys mistakes happen. But OP please search and open threads in the proper place

Hey guys. New to this phone but not rooting. Looking for most recent unlock and root method with working download links pls. Search brought up many variables.
Thanks!!
Start with the thread that's stickied in the dev section. The one that says 'how to root'
Pretty sure that's why they sticky them. So you can easily find and everyone doesn't have to ask questions like this.
There's only two stickies in the dev section. Neither are about rooting...
My bad. Was looking in wrong dev section. Thanks!

Make sure to read about backing up your IMEI before flashing Roms.
I just rooted my phone two days ago with this method. It was simple and easy to do and shortly after I flashed cm10.
Soup to nuts: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
My phone is company owned so I've left it alone, but JB doesn't seem to be coming to me OTA so if I'm gonna have to wipe it anyways I'll wipe it and put what I want on it.
(yes our mobile security software will flag it as rooted, but I'm the only administrator for mobile so not really a concern)
the problem is the files seem to be gone.
I'm currently running 1.85.502.3 710RD
2.20 never came to me OTA,
I've searched these forums and google for 1.85 root, but everyone every points me to gigashare.in which results in a 404 error,
anyone know how I can get my phone rooted now and put on a rooted jellybean. hopefully an asop jelly bean if one is out there, lets worry about root first.
Everything you might need is in a resource list pinned to the top of the Development forum.
You should root and unlock 1.85 first before trying to upgrade, because later versions are more locked down.

LOL @ FAQ posted right at the top of this forum OP posted to.
Thank you..
I had found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709424 so many times even when looking on other websites that when I saw the FAQ linked to a thread that had the Words ACT NOW in the subject I just counted it out as being the same useless thread with the missing file.
I'll give it a try this weekend thanks.

Have fun. It won't work. As it says right in red letters at the top of the post.
Why did you not simply follow the advice in 2 of the above responses, and either look in the FAQ sticky at the top of the Q&A forum section, or my Index thread sticky on the top of the Development section? Either one would have pointed to the correct working 1.85 root method.
Obviously, the OP shouldn't root his phone, if he can follow simple instructions. Can this get locked?

I have the same question as OP.
My phone is also at&t htc one x, firmware 1.85
I have read your post :
[INDEX] AT&T/ROGERS One X Resources Compilation Roll-Up (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237)
and this one:
Frequently Asked Questions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136172)
Both of them pointed out to the post for rooting in 1.85 firmware :
[ROOT] 1.85 - New, working method - ACT NOW, MAY NOT LAST FOREVER (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709296)
I think this one is the right one to go For OP and other Noobs like me on firmware 1.85
Thanks for all the dev and seniors asking Noob's questions.:good:
If I am in the wrong way. Please point me out the right one. Thank you
Thank you for allowing me to join your site. I have found 100's of useful posts/threads here. I currently run a Samsung Galaxy S3 Unlocked on ATT. I will try to follow the rules and not piss anyone off. Thanks again.
Well your off to a blinding start. You've used your first post to open a new useless thread, your supposed to
A: use search where you would have found a 'say hi' thread
B: attempt to make your first 10 posts useful
Never interrupt me when I'm eating a banana.
