[BEST WAY] Needed for ROOT my HOX with 1.85

Hello people, just looking for the safer and best method to ROOT my HOX with 1.85..
Could you point me out?
thanks in advance

On the dev forum there is only one way to root 1.85 currently and it involves using the att update exploit as att blocked their app internal downloads method...

The current method in the dev section works fine apparently. The old way of rooting 1.85 was a far bigger PITA.

What they all said. The current way is simplisticly genius. Very clean as far as toot methods go.

Wrong thread but no other option
I have had a rooted 1.85 HOX, unlocked with TWRP 2.2.1.4 with stock ROM. I was trying to install CM10 however I keep getting a 'Status 7' error. From what I gather its has to do with how the phone was rooted, which to my knowledge there is only one way for the 1.85 (2 if you consider the script and manual as separate). I complete the manual root process twice the first time after i pulled the phone out of the box and the second after my 'sdcard' wouldn't mount while trying to flash different recovery images to the phone with the ultimate goal of installing CM10. So my question: Why can't I flash a ROM?
btw I guess if you're a super n00b on the xda forums you can only post on threads that are off topic until you are allowed to post to the 'real' ones....

I think the status 7 errors are build.prop errors. If you manually wipe system before flashing it should erase the current build.prop which should clear the conflict. Make a nandroid first just in case.

Alright, every time I ever flash a new ROM I always factory wipe, cache & dalvik wipe, as well as the system wipe (especially if its a new ROM type) and NEVER forget to do a nandroid. It didn't seam to make a difference for the CM10 ROM, I even wiped the virtual sd card. I'd like to make some post on the HOX CM10 forum (it seams a few other people are have the problem but no one is addressing it) but I might have to chat with you to get my post count high enough...:laugh:

Yes, currently this is the only working method for 1.85: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709296
There was a one-click method, but it no longer works.

- Have you tried flashing any other ROMs?
- That version of TWRP is outdated. I doubt that is the problem. But it wouldn't hurt (and might help) to have the current version.
- You didn't happen to have relocked the bootloader somewhere along the way? I don't know if that would give you 'Status 7' error. But sometimes its good to consider the obvious solutions.
- You didn't happen to have flashed any of the recoveries for the international (Tegra3) version, did you?

PLEASE HELP!!! My HTC One X is completely messed up and i would like some help**

Hello everybody i am posting because my One X is messed up. I bought the phone from radio shack and i love it. When i first bought it i rooted it and then downloaded fun root apps like titanium backup, and set cpu. I heard about custom roms and i wanted to try one. So i followed the instructions given on the website. Im sorry i dont remember what website it was that i downloaded it from. So i downloaded Clockworkmod from play store and installed it on my phone. Then copied the rom to my sd card. I tried to flash is but nothing would happen. So i tried to boot into recovery mode and i woould get a legal actions page, then my bootloader would say ***tampered*** ***locked*** ***security warning***. So then i tried to unlock my boot loader via htc dev and i got the error 160 mid not allowed. So i wanted to unroot and restore so i deleted supersu and the su files from my phone and i used root checker to check if unrooted. it said *not properly rooted*. But my phone can still view and download root apps.
Then i tried to restore my phone to stock, but when i pressed factory reset i would get the same legal actions page and my boot loader would say *tampered* *locked* *security warning*. And my att software update doesnt work. when i press on it it says htc dm has stopped and after that it does nothing when i press the button. And many apps close unsuspectingly. I would like to completely revert my phone to stock so i can start over again. thank you.
I have the HTC One X dual core usa version
i bought it at radio shack
It is on AT&T

Sounds like you might have tried to install a rom for the international version. Be thankful it didn't work.
You can't unlock via htcdev without changing your CID because AT&T is blocking it.
The version of CWM in the Play Store (ROM Manager?) is not supported for this phone and will not work.
To restore to stock, you need to flash the RUU for your current version. Check your software version in Settings.

This may come across as rude but you are obviously aware of XDAs existence since you are posting here, why on earth would you do anything to your phone without FIRST checking XDA to make sure it's kosher? I see way too many threads like this and it boggles my mind.
You guys don't want to come to XDA for help with your ROMs and mods, but as soon as you screw something up you come running to us for assistance.

First, you need to do A LOT more reading before you try to unlock your bootloader and flash ROMs. You missed a ton of steps and it is pretty clear you didn't do your homework. I am not trying to be rude, but trying to save you from ruining your phone.
Check what firmware you have. I assume 1.85 if you have root, but please check. If you want to be able to re-root your phone do not use the 2.20 RUU! Go download the RUU . Follow the instructions and run the RUU to return your phone to stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670238 (1.85 RUU)
You can then start the process over with rooting and unlocking. You must have SuperCID before you can unlock your bootloader. Use TWRP and not CWR because it is not supported on the AT&T One X. You must NEVER try installing a ROM meant for the international version. (Stay in this section of the forum!) Once you root and unlock, you will not be able to download OTAs from HTC.

thankyou so much!! that was such a stupid mistake. The indian people making the videos i was watching for instructions should have been a dead giveaway that it was for the international version!! again thank you so much. so where can i download RUU and instructions. and if you can what would be the best way to root and unlock bootloader for my version of the phone?

I edited my reply and included two links. First is to the 1.85 RUU. Make sure you don't have 2.20 by going to Settings -> About -> Software Information and look at Software Number. As long as you don't have 2.20, download that RUU, plug your phone in, and run it. IT WILL ERASE EVERYTHING! so make sure to back up the contents of your SD card first.
The second link is to the AT&T One X resource Roll-up. Everything you need to root/unlock/rom will be in there.
The steps are in this order:
1. Root using the 1.85 root
2. Get SuperCID
3. Go to HTCDev.com to get unlock token, flash unlock token, unlock bootloader
4. Flash recovery (TWRP)
5. Flash ROM
Make sure you read ALL of the instructions first!! And I would recommend CleanROM once you get that far.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you mess up your phone.

Yeah he followed a YouTube video and then went straight to Q&A when things went wrong and clearly never stopped by the dev threads once. Perhaps I was being too nice by giving links. Hopefully he shakes that habit quickly.

Good point! I just automatically do that every time I flash a rom so I always forget to include that as an additional step. But that will save a lot of time if anything goes wrong.

Although the answer is already in this thread, if I were you, I would take this time to use the search and find out what an RUU is and what it does. You are going to use them many times in the future so might as well know.

You should see all the skyrocket users coming to the i777 forums saying they bricked and have no idea why... Probably by flashing a rom for the wrong phone....

As long as you flashed 1.85 then the root script will work. You may have to manually set the day ahead and try again a few times. Read the thread. Search the thread. Your answers are probably in there.

So you run the one click method, it tells you to try to run the AT&T software update, and your phone does nothing? That is what is happening?

yes when i press check for updates nothing happens. im not sure if this is the reason but after the RUU was done and my phone was put back to stock, a popup for att software update came up and it downloaded and i had the update. i went to about then software info the software number is 1.85 so i am very confused.

The HTCDev.com site won't work with the AT&T CID, that's why it was changed in the first place.
I don't know why you changed the CID, what you hope to gain from it, and I don't recommend it. I don't see how its going to help your situation at all, really it just makes things harder for you (as you see you can't unlock the bootloader now).
I would also kindly suggest you back off from trying any new things, without at least coming on here and asking first if its a good idea. From your other thread, its apparent you are new to this phone, and are doing some things that are not necessarily the best way forward.

This phone is crap, from the confusing naming convention , bootloader lock, S-ON and the most fascinating that I just realized last night NO ADB IN BOOTLOADER OR STOCK RECOVERY. Way too complicated to work with.
So I am stuck now because I cannot RUU or get into past bootloader to change the recovery back to TWRP.

ADB works fine in bootloader. Looks like pilot error.
Complaining isn't going to help your case, might hurt it (discourage those of use who have been trying to help you).

This phone is crap, from the confusing naming convention , bootloader lock, S-ON and the most fascinating that I just realized last night NO ADB IN BOOTLOADER OR STOCK RECOVERY. Way too complicated to work with.

I'm new to the onex myself, so I would like to know why you relocked it after all that work to get it unlocked? Just got mine unlocked with a custom Rom installed, and I don't know why you'd undo that.

OP stated in another thread he bought his bootloader unlocked too.
But yes, I agree, there was not point in him relocking it. He wanted to return to stock. I suggested he flash a stock rooted ROM, but he either didn't listen, or was already too far down the relocking path (removed TWRP).

Tell me about ADB in bootloader? What do you mean pilot error?
thanks for hanging with me

I think you should PILOT the closest vehicle over the phone to end this misery for everyone

ADB should work fine in bootloader. Are you getting any error message, or no response when you try to use adb?
Does the phone show up if you type:
adb devices
If not, try to re-install HTC Sync.

How did you end up with no TWRP? Did the RUU run partially, and return the phone to stock recovery? Or did you do something else to go to stock recovery?

Nothing shows up in adb devices.....I even ran adb logcat and went through all the menus on the phone seeing if it would catch
I will try to re install sync
In attempting to fix the RUU problem I have I would flash stock recovery, stock boot.img, relock, try to RUU......my last genius move was rename cid , stock recovery, boot.img, relock...........now I am dead in the water

This is the entire cause of your RUU troubles. Your computer is simply not talking to the phone.
Re-install HTC Sync, and try a different USB ports. Problems with the PC not seeing the phone are almost always due to one of these 2 things. Last resort is to use a different PC (if possible).
If adb doesn't see the phone, the RUU won't run either. Get the PC to see the phone, and the RUU will run.

Wait, you said you relocked. So you must have had an adb/fastboot connection at some point.
Something is royally screwed here. It really seems to me that you are doing things to the phone, that you shouldn't. Seriously, don't do anything more to the phone, unless we tell you to. NOTHING.
How did you flash stock recovery?
What is the state of the phone now?
Flashing boot.img was not a good idea. Stock boot.img + CM10 will result in the phone not booting (wrong kernel), assume that is the state you are now in?

I just tried it on another PC and got RUU 2.2 to work. Thank you very much for your persistence.

Ouch. 2.20 RUU means you are now stuck with the 1.14 hboot. Fine if you want to stay stock, but a bit of a pain for flashing custom ROMs, as you now have to flash boot.img separately from fastboot. You also can't flash radios now.
1.73 or 1.85 would have been better. Did you try to run those RUUs on this other PC first?

He deserves hboot 1.14 after talking trash earlier. Hopefully he didn't even try the earlier ruu's

Well, he said he wanted to put it back to stock. If you never plan to root it, 1.14 isn't an issue.

He seems to know a decent amount of tricks (at least enough to be dangerous!). I'd be surprised if he never plans to root. But that's just a guess.

so... theres a way to permanently brick your CID to the point where it cant be changed/unlocked again? :/ now i'm REALLY going to read up on how to relock and get my phone back to the 2.20 RUU (came on that, no sense trying to get an earlier one) for selling it....

I'd like him to root his phone and brick it. Then he can come back here to whine about how crappy the phone is when he's the retard.

[Q] Help returning to stock recovery

Hi Guys,
I know this may be frustrating for some of you, but as a complete beginner in using Android, I was wondering whether someone could help me out here. I have tried searching various forums, but my knowledge of androids is limited. I used the tutorial from Rootwiki to successfully unlock my bootloader, install TWRP recovery and root my phone
Does this mean I am not using a stock rom?
Now I sort of regret deciding to do this and would like to return to stock so that I can get any OTA updates without further tampering with my phone. Unfortunately while following the above tutorial, I only made a backup after TWRP was installed and not before, so I need help in going back please.
I can see that there are a few people in my position, so I'm sure others will benefit from this as well.
My software details are:
Android version - 4.2.2.
Software number - 1.33.206.1
HTC SDK API level - 5.41
Network - o2 uk
Can I use any stock recovery file or does it have to be specific to the above?
Can you please provide a step by step guide with a list of files that I will need to download?
or can I simply just factory reset my phone, and everything goes back to normal? I don't mind having to re install apps etc?
Thank you all very much

i have a HTC One mini 4.3 and i am in the exact same situation. i like to get stock recovery but those ive tried hasent been working.

If you didint flash a rom after you installed your recovery, the back up you made is then of stock os
Maybe if you take the ota, it will cancel out ur root and five you stock recovery back, i havent browsed these forums.. Try searching for a RUU and stock recovery, the phone is fairly new, so can take time for someone to put something together

Thank you for your replies, my HBOOT is 2.19.0000

Ok guys, I got the notification for the OTA update today, I have downloaded it but haven't installed it. From a different thread, I found a link for a stock recovery which is about 9.5mb from androidfile host (/?fid=23252070760975668)
can I just flash this recovery and proceed with the update? or will there be compatibility issues with the version I have above?
Thanks

Anyone?
I am getting desperate to the point that I might actually pay HTC to repair it for me

not yet, but MirageBlader has been quite helpful and has said the following in a private message to me, which I have yet to try:
"Very easy mate, open your ota and flash the stock recovery from the ota. You can only install it with stock Rom, stock boot and stock recovery. Your bootloader musst be locked and your phone unrooted. s-off is not needed if you already got the ota"

I'd be very interested to know the results of your attempt to go back to "stock".
Can I ask if you are doing this just to get the 4.3 update? Also, do you plan to root and customise your ROM after the update, or leave it stock?
Thanks, and good luck....

If your phone isn't rooted, what exactly is the issue? Do you have a custom recovery installed, and is your bootloader unlocked? If you are looking to upgrade, did you get the OTA download on your phone?

Hi nelvinchi I am trying to get back to android ver 4.2, I have a stock mini it's not been rooted or mod'd in any way. Just had the 4.3 ota that was update automatically just woke up and my phone had updated looking at settings it was set to auto update and install when on charge Grr dam phone so many probs with this ota

I haven't got round to trying this out yet, will update this thread once I do, just quite busy this month and can't afford to mess up my phone. Yep, just doing it for the update, I only rooted my phone in the first place to get rid of bloatware, which i realised is a lot more complicated than just rooting, and all the other benefits of rooting don't really appeal to me, or are too much hassle for a beginner such as myself.
Just need to figure out how to unroot and relock my bootloader before I can go ahead with this :s

Hey nelvinchi. You seem to be knowledgeable enough on the matter and have been looking for help with my device. I posted a separate thread yesterday. If you have time/think you can help, could you take a look? Would much appreciate it.

If you have SuperSU installed on your phone, the app has a settings option called "Full unroot" - this will get rid of root. Relocking your bootloader - there are various methods, you could try HTCDEV site (probably how you unlocked originally), or the revone option which will lock the bootloader and remove the "tampered" label. Try a search, but if you are unsure, jusk ask!

Got everything sorted with the great help of Nelvin. I had previously gone to the twrp support IRC and after answering a few questions, they just stopped talking... Glad there are people out there still willing to help! He spent a good hour or so with me making sure everything was working.

Thanks for your reply nelvinchi, can I just confirm whether the SuperSU app you're talking about it the one by Chainfire in the marketplace? And is it just a matter of installing this from the marketplace to unroot my device, or is it a bit more complicated than that?
I'll do some research on relocking my bootloader with revone.
Also do you reckon the above method of getting the stock recovery from my update file will work?

If you are rooted then you more than likely have supersu already installed. Check your app drawer.I rooted using HTC DEV and supersu was flashed to the phone with twrp as part of the process

Can I make a suggestion? Given where you are with your phone currently, It would be much simpler, and virtually risk free, to flash tr1gg3r's Stock Sense 5.5 4.3 rooted deodexed rom from the One Mini Android Development forum.
You will get the 4.3 update, and have a fast and very stable ROM. All future updates will be incorporated into a newer ROM version.
Returning to "stock" carries FAR more risk - and you'll never have true stock because it isn't possible. Soon as the bootloader is unlocked, your phone is tampered, and no tool or utility can change that (other than cosmetically!)
It's your choice obviously, but if I was you, I'd stay rooted and enjoy the benefits it brings!
If you still want to try to go back to stock, I'll help..... But I've now helped three members get out of a soft brick after they attempted to go stock.......

[Q] AT&T HTC One X ROM & Kernel Problem

Hi guys,
I'm newbie about android and please do not be angry to me for this question. I was read lots of topics from xda and another forums but I can't find anything.
I have AT&T HTC One X and i was happy with my phone. Maybe one year ago I rooted my phone and install ATT Stock Root - 3.18.502.6 - JB 4.1.1.zip. So, i followed instructions from xda's web site and everything was fine.
Last two weeks my phone starts to restarts it self. So, I decide to install everything again and open my phone in recovery mode with TWRP and wipe all data. (I don't have any backup of my original data)
I have TRWP's 2.7.1.0 version and I tried to install ATT Stock Root - 3.18.502.6 - JB 4.1.1.zip because I install it one year ago and it works fine. It installs fine but when I press restart my phone stuck at Quietly Brilliant screen and after 2 minutes my phone restarts it self.
Also I can't s-off my phone. I have unlock code bin and I applied it to my phone but something was wrong.
So please can any one help me please. I don't know why my phone acts like that.
Thanks in advance.

Ok so I know your a newbie but do you know your firmware is way out of date? We now have firmware for at&t that is at least 4 realises older than the current. I would say upgrade to a new ROM and firmware. If you don't wish to upgrade I have to ask what kernel you are using?

What he said. Also, did you flash the boot.img from the rom zip via fastboot? As you are s-on, you must perform that additional step.

I suggest he reads timaaas thread. Sounds to me like he should run a ruu to which he can still obtain s off.

Well thanks for suggestions, but I don't know what is the sequence for installing new firmware, rom and kernel. Could you guys please explain the it.

No, no, no! He can't run an RUU while s-on because it'll brick his phone. I know you mean well but you need to increase your own knowledge before you can start giving advice here, I've seen at least a few times where you've given advice that would result in a brick. I'm sure you don't want that on your conscience.

You more than likely only needed to flash the boot.img from the ROM zip by fastboot. Flash the ROM, then flash the boot.img, and your phone should boot up. Once you're all booted you need to get s-off. Look in my guide thread in my signature for instructions.
