Hello,
I am having problems with perm rooting my new UK One X handset, I have managed to unlock the bootloader using Hasoons2000 all in one kit v1.0 however when I try and root the handset it keeps failing.
Basically if I press the perm root button, the phone goes into recover however it just says there and the command prompt shows that the phone is not connected so cant root.
I have even tried updating the clockwork recovery img however that is failing as well..
can am I doing wrong?
Many Thanks
Scott

Hey guys, I'm new here and im looking for help. YES, I have already tried a million different things, YES my SDK is properly installed, YES my bootloader is unlocked from HTC dev, and NO, no method for rooting my shiny new HTC One X has worked so far. Ive spent countless hours on this forum, and have done everything possible, but to no avail, so its time for me to turn to you guys and ask for help.
My HTC's firmware is 1.94 which seems to be very uncommon, as most people have the 1.80 or 2.20 version.
I am running stock Rogers firmware with Android 4.0.3.
I have come close, I have even successfully done the whole daemon DOS process, but it had many errors, and even though the result said that the phone was successfully rooted, it did not install SU. However THERE IS A BROWN BAR that appears on the upper left side of the screen during the HTC boot sequence, and it only appeared after the daemon process.
Please, if someone could lead me in the right direction, id be very grateful. What should I do?
You don't need any fancy root processes. If you want to stay stock but rooted. Install twrp. And flash a stock rooted Rom. Or flash the superuser zip in twrp.

Follow instructions on htcdev to unlock unlock bootloader.. download goo manager and install twrp. Flashed rooted Rom and profit.

Hi,
I'm not sure if I'm asking in the right place. Please advise me if I need to post it elsewhere.
I was trying to root my HTC Hero with firmware version 3.36.405.1 (latest, came from factory with it). I tried using Android Universal Root and z4root. I've used these methods before, but I had my phone serviced some time ago and they changed the board, so it came with a new board and the firmware above (the latest from HTC as far as I know. I had never tried to root this new board. I wanted to install a new version of android (2.2 or later) so my wife could sync her music back and forth with her new Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.0 7.
After several tries (Universal Root said the phone was rooted, but after that I couldn't do anything that needed su and root checker always tells me it isn't rooted; z4root never seemed to complete the task), one of those times (z4root) the phone was stuck in rebooting in z4root and I left the app (pressed back button) and it rebooted the phone. And now it doesn't start. I gets to a screen with an image of the phone and a red triangle and an exclamation mark. I can only leave this screen by removing the battery.
I already tried to erase the device using the volume down + power button method (several times) and I also tied to flash new firmware using the same method and placing the new firmware in the sdcard root and renaming it to one of the filenames that the phone tries to find when I use the method below. I even tried to flash it using the RUU downloaded from HTC, but the only firmware available from HTC is below my firmware version and it refuses to flash because the version doesn't match.
I tried to search several forums (xda was one of those) and used Google to try to find the correct RUU file, but couldn't find anything that would work. And I couldn't even find any original ROMs to flash using the volume down + power button method because all the ones I've found are not HTC original files and, after loading them, the phone refuses them. (At least I believe that's the reason.)
Did I really brick my phone forever? Can someone help me? If I take it to HTC, probably they can do something about it, but I can't go there because it's out of warranty now and they'd probably discover that I was trying to root the phone, charge me and do nothing.
Any advice? Can you get me the RUU program file I need?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I understand that there are topics about rooting process and I have went and done as asked in guides however I seem to have ran into a problem.
I have managed to successfully unlock my HTC one X as what is being stated by the bootloader. I however cannot get it rooted.
I have used the new one X root 2.20 version made by Max but at the point where it is in fastboot USB and is where you do the flash recovery openxxxxxxxxxxx version name, it just keeps saying failed. I've done it over 20 times if not 30, no success.
I then tried to redo the entire process, still no luck. Then I used the guide that says 2000 on top, it guides you step by step on how to get unlock code and register and unlock phone and at the last part when you are installing the root software, can't remember the name but everyone is using it to install custom roms, it just kept saying device not found. I have looked into device manager and I had the drivers already installed and working.
I have tried to simply go into recovery but after the green sync it showed the red triangle with exclamation mark and then just rebooted itself back to lock screen.
So my question is, what could be the problem and has anyone else encountered something like this and fixed it?
If there is a post that I wasnt able to find that explains this, please do guide me to it.
Thank you all for any help.

If your phone is properly seen (no errors) in Device Manager, but is offline or not present in adb/fastboot, try using another USB cable and/or port.

1. Make sure you have installed HTC Sync
2. Make sure HTC Sync is not running in the taskbar
If you're bootloader unlocked you don't need root, just flash a recovery from fastboot with a "fastboot flash recovery <insert TWRP recovery>
You can then flash root from recovery or flash one of the custom roms that already has root.
From memory that root method is only a temp root so you can bootloader unlock if you were on the 2.20 FW with 1.14hboot and were with AT&T since they couldn't BL unlock.
So they needed temp access to change their CID to SuperCID 1111111 so then they could unlock through htcdev.

Red triangle with exclamation mark is stock recovery. TWRP is a custom recovery not "root software". If it failed to install, then obviously you cannot boot into custom recovery (TWRP).
Agree with the responses above that this is probably a drivers issue (PC is not "seeing" the phone).
Hey guys I have been searching all over the place for this answer and I just cant seem to find anything on the topic.
This is my first time tinkering with my HTC One X (old version 4.0.3) and downloaded the most updated drivers which is where I believe I went wrong.
I have the 4.2.0.001 drivers and when I open the root.zip file nothing happens I get no errors I just get the "your HTC One X is rooted..." yet my phone simply doesn't reboot.
So I attempted to install the downgraded drivers the 3.0.0.007 which looking back has been the recommended drivers, however; when I extract those files and head into my device manager it does not pull up the androidusb.inf file to upload the 3.0.0.007 drivers.
Am I missing a proper BMP USB Driver and where can I find it? Or is there a root file that will work with the 4.2.0.001 drivers?
If there is any link to this topic please post it, I am very new to rooting or if I have made any mistakes please let me know.

Drivers are drivers. You can root with either. Old new, doesn't matter. It just allows your phone to be recognized by fastboot and ADB, that's all.

Thank you :good: so this means its something wrong with the root.zip file or the process Im doing to root? I just attempted it a few seconds ago this time the phone rebooted 2 times but I am not seeing any Su app on my phone

The root methods simply give you temp root and super cid so you can unlock the bootloader. *facepalm*
Then when your bootloader is unlocked you can flash recovery and then flash su through recovery or install a custom rom which will already be rooted.

damn im an idiot haha thank you for clearing this up
I guess I am not understanding the core concept here, so I now I theoretically have a temp root with Super CID. I was under the impression that I was supposed to download Titanium Backup before attempting to unlock the bootloader. So I went to download and it told me I did not have root access so I could not run Titanium. I am afraid to attempt a bootloader unlock with out my rom being backed up. Can you please shed some light on this or post a link that would explain the process after temp root in detail thank you

You can backup after your bootloader is unlocked.. bootloader unlock is just a flag that allows you to flash certain partitions like recovery.
Backing up before or after will make no difference. If you end up really messing up your device, a backup won't save you anyway so I don't see why you'd be worried. If you S-OFF, you can RUU to get back to stock any time no problem, unless you full on brick. Then only jtagg will save you.
Typically before I root a phone, I read all the stickies in all the subsections to understand how things work since every phone has differences, some subtle some not so subtle.

Hello. Im brand new to xda. I see this is the place to come for android help. I recently acquired an HTC Inspire 4G from a buddy of mine. It was bricked. After alot of googling I figured out how to restore the stock rom. I was successful. I liked the phone so much I decided to switch over from the unmentionable phone I had been accustomed to using. I did some research and decided to attempt to root the phone. I followed the instructions I found in a thread here. I used the Easy Ace Root Tool. The root failed. After it had me upgrade the rom on it it said "Your version is no longer supported. You will be e-mailed when support is available". Now I can no longer bring up the bootloader. Any idea on what I can do to get it rooted?

You must disable fastboot in order to access the bootloader.
settings > power > uncheck fastboot

I was actually successful in unlocking the bootloader. I figured out the fastboot today. The problem im having is the root fails. It says something about adb being outdated. It fails at achieving temp root. Says permanent root is achieved at the end but when I run the root checker app it says its does not have root access.
