hello i have a att tmobile unlocked on tmobile i have the build number 1.73 and i want the 1.85 so i can root it and install custom roms!! does any one know the easiest way to do this? im a noob and really need help
You don't want to upgrade to root, look for the old one click root, it works on 1.73, then the one click downloader unlock, and then install twrp recovery and flash away.
Well you can upgrade, but I think the rooting process is easier on 1.73.

I was on stock 1.73 rooted, i had root keeper installed as well, i updated via ota to 1.85 and then used root keeper to reroot, it worked fine and I'm still rooted. I don't know how it worked but it did.

Ever since I rooted I have not been able to get into recovery to flash anything. Is this because I rooted and have to have clockwork to get into recovery now? I was stock rooted 1.73 now stock rooted 1.85 OTA
Thanks

How did you update via OTA to 1.85 and keep root? Does the OTA not take your root away? I'm only asking because 1.85 isn't rootable at the moment. Did you ever unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery when you were on 1.73?
I rooted 1.73 then used Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to keep root while I did the OTA to 1.85. I never unlocked or installed a custom recovery mostly because this is a company provided phone and didn't want to go that far. This phone is so much different than the Rezound I came from and I'm kinda gun shy I guess. Lol

Gotcha. Your phone still has the stock recovery. You need to unlock your bootloader and install one of the custom recoveries before you can flash anything.

That's what I figured. I guess I need to "grow some" and just do it.
Thanks!

My brother recently got an HTC one x and I wanted to unlock his bootloader, root it and install a custom Rom for him bit am a little insure of the proper steps. I have a one s and am very familiar with abd and using twrp. A one click would be great.

Well I got up today proud of myself for having made the decision to go ahead and root my AT&T HOX.
I have a 32 gig 10 inch Toshiba Thrive that is rooted running ICS. Then I discover there are several HOX models....and several firmwares.With sweaty palms I swiped one finger down and shaking almost too much to hit ABOUT scrolled on to the bitter truth of 2.20.502.7...
This phone cannot be rooted.
Now I must try to gather myself and use the technique I am lacking the most in.... Patience.
So Fredfly, I'm sure someone here can tell you better than I but as far as I can judge if your bro's firmware is like or higher than mine just take a number and have a seat.

I'm in the same boat Jonathan... just got mine this week and it's 2.2. Does anyone know if there is anyone working on rooting 2.2?

People are working on it but that doesn't mean it will ever be cracked. We can only hope.

What version of the HOX do you have? The AT&T version? If the firmware is below 2.20, then you have a plethora of methods you can use if you simply look in the dev section. If you're so inclined, you can use the guide that I wrote for the Telus version in my signature. The attached software should work for the AT&T as well as the Telus and Rogers versions as well.
If you got your one X from Rogers then you're fine. First go to htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader. Then flash TWRP recovery (evita version) . Then put the zip file for a custom rom into the sdcard, boot into TWRP recovery, and install it. Then do a factory reset from TWRP and reboot. As a first rom to try, I recommend CleanROM or VIPER XL.
Hey guys thanks for the advice. I looked at HTC dev and its exactly the same as the one s. I checked my brother's firmware this weekend and its 1.8... I will attempt to root and unlock this weekend. Also thanks for the Rom recommendations. I will probably put viper on his phone as I am familiar with the venom team and know they do great work.

Its not firmware 2.20 and above. Its only firmware 2.20 that is unrootable (at this time). Its all about AT&T. Every other carrier is allowing the bootloader to be unlocked via HTCDev.com.
There have been a few version numbers higher than 2.20 (2.23, 2.29, 2.33). AFAIK, they can all be bootloader unlocked.
I went to update my htc one x, and it says server unavailable and im on 4.0.3. Im stuck...
You are almost certainly better off by not doing any OTA updates from at&t.

If OP has any desire to root and flash custom ROMs, I agree. Just root and unlock bootloader now. Then update to whatever stock rooted or custom ROM you like.
If OP wants to stay stock, then get the RUU from the HTC website. RUU will wipe the phone, but its a cleaner install than OTA, and less likely to cause problems anyway.
I had the same problem. Download the rom from HTC .com connect to pc and install rom.

I'm looking to install AOSP rom (ATT HTC One X, unlocked using with T-MO)
I'm following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38304611&postcount=1
The thread says its required for people who received OTA update, I wanted to know is it still required if I didn't get OTA update? (still using ICS)
Thanks

So simply copy zip to phone sd card, and flsah. It would be all good right?
Sorry to double check but just making sure (I've 2.20 firmware with root, cwm philz, unlocked and s-off)

Yes, but remember to do a backup first.. just in case
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
if a newly purchased comes with the newer build, is it possible to achieve s-off on that?
Yes the s-off method still works with this OTA.

You 100% sure? I'm deciding what to do first. Update or root/s off

Yes I took the update and didn't have any problems. Just got the phone last night, took the update, s-off'ed and installed a custom recovery. All worked perfectly.

Thanks. I hope the process is just as smooth on a device that has factory loaded the new build.
I saw this thread and thought I was Sol just picked up the m8 and reading up on s-off and root and his scared me as I wasn't aware of an ota for the m8 already.

Well I didn't have the ota but I did s-off and root feels nice being able to install a custom ROM.
