[Q] If I use Peters guide can i go from 1.73 to 1.85

If I use Peters thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678308 and follow that should I be able to get to 1.85 rooted and unlocked? I am currently on 1.73 and rooted. Thank you for your help!

I'd like to know the same. I'm on 1.73 rooted and I'd like to get to rooted 1.85 unlocked with recovery to try a rom out ....

Yes it will work.

I was on 1.73 rooted & unlocked. I was reluctant to upgrade from everything I was reading. But @ the end of the day I still couldn't flash roms anyway. So I figured why not. His guide was spot on & worked perfectly ! It took a minute but was def worth it. Clean Rom is nice !

2.20 Root Status

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.

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.

1.09 is the best because you can flash kernels and radios in recovery

I appreciate all the help. Another question. Since I'm on 1.09 would that be the reason its not changing my CID to 11111111.

Your not special just more phones with 2.20 were shipped out recently...but that comes with hboot 1.14 .... Which you have to flash boot IMG seperately...what's your softwares number ....if it's 1.73 there's menu one clicks you can use if it'd 1.85 jusys search for it its very easy to find... Idk if 1.85 works with the 2.20 exploits absolutely grim would know a lot more than me

That shouldn't be a problem as far as I know. As yes, having HBOOT 1.09 means you don't need to extract the boot.img and flash it separately.

Yeah im on 1.85. And all i see is one way to root it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237. Thats a lot of directions. Damn almost wish I had 2.20 now.

Hey, I using AT&T Htc One X , 1.85 build firmware, android version 4.0.3, h-boot is 1.09. I am not able to root my phone using the above method. The CID wont change and it shows an error. Is there any way to fix it?

You're using the wrong root method. There is one specific to 1.85. The link is in the resource roll up at the top of the development forum.

My advice to you would be not to root. Htcdev is down, nothing you can do until it comes back up.
You would need to use xfactor because htcdev will not give you an unlock code otherwise.

You could force the update to 2.20 if you wanted. But 1.85 is easier to root, why are 1.85 root exploits "invalid" they worked for many many users before you?
You need root so you can change your cid because htcdev will not give you an unlock token while it is seem as a AT&T phone.

I don't see the big deal. Update to 2.2 use hasoon's then downgrade hboot using Linux. If you cNt get 1.85 root method to work and you can't figure this out maybe root isn't for you

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.

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)
