There are threads in the dev section with all the info you need. I suggest you spend a lot of time actually reading them and build a real understanding for what you are doing BEFORE you do anything to your phone. If you just follow some guy's youtube video without actually knowing what you're doing, guaranteed your next thread will be "ZOMG SOMEONE PLEASE HELP I THINK I BRICKED MY PHONE".
With Samsung it was just use Odin and that was it you make a very good point and on that I will do some more research thanks again for the advice

Yeah samsungs are generally easier to root. Odin made it a cinch. That was one of the things I loved about my Epic 4G Touch. We do have one click methods for root and bootloader unlock though so it's pretty damn easy. Once you read the threads you'll see it's not that bad. The root thread is a sticky and bootloader unlock is on the first page of the dev section.
Edit: I have not used the one click bootloader unlock on the first page so I can't vouch for it. It is new and looks like nobody has used it yet. The one I used is HERE, it's a one click that changes your CID to allow you to unlock through htcdev.com. I have used that method 6 times and practically everyone on this forum used it so that is the method that I will vouch for. The stickied root thread is also tried and tested.

Hi, I just rooted my HOX running on 1.73, but when I tried to unlock the bootloader I keep getting an error message after I submit the token ID that says "MID not allowed". Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm basically new to Android, just switched from the iphone, and am thrilled so far.
Thanks
You need to use the SuperCID tool before you can unlock your bootloader since AT&T blocked us from doing it the official way. Check the development section, the thread is over there.

awesome!
great! that did it. Thank you so much. Sorry for the nooby questions that are often harder to find answers to than the more advanced questions.
No prob, we all had nooby questions at one point.

next step
Well, in that case, I might as well hit you with some more nooby questions.
What is usually the next step after obtaining root and unlocking the bootloader?
The next step is flashing a custom recovery such as clockworkmod or TWRP. Having a custom recovery allows you to flash ROMs, radios, kernals, and mods to really tailor your phone to be exactly the way you want it. If you're looking at flashing a ROM, I very highly recommend CleanROM SE. It is very close to stock, except it has a bunch of kick ass mods and tweaks that make your phone for lack of a better word... perfect. Check out the thread for it in the development section.

I am interested in flashing cleanrom 3.1 but i was reading through the comments and I noticed people saying, too bad i'm on 1.85, and comments of the sort, it seems as if having 1.85 pre-unlock is a curse?
I have never done anything to this phone, it came 1.85 from the store.
I'm not new to this stuff, I'm just over cautious with my HOX because I'm out of warranty and I've never unlocked or rooted an HTC phone.
I apologize if this has already been said elsewhere.
HELLO!!!! WELCOME!!!!
Hi there , yes it's been answered already , and well if you did some searching.. well BAM, there it would have been... Yes you can unlock 1.85 , check the dev thread for the way It even says 1.85 root .. how bout that? Haha, remember to search , because there are people out there whom may be worse than I ... Happy tinkering

You're a gentleman and a scholar, thanks for being friendly. However, I have been unable to find a thread to unlock 1.85. I would never post without searching.

It's a sticky on the Dev site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709424
The Compilation thread is also a good place to take a look, but you can install CleanROM with just root and unlock (instructions for both are in the link).
I am using the AT&T HTC One X and have been trying to put a cooked rom on my device for the sole purpose of an improved battery life. I've tried the Hanson2000 all-in-one kit, but the HTC Developer's website wouldn't accept my token ID (Error 160). I have the SU# software installed on my device, but I'm not quite sure what that has done. If anyone could please link me or tell me of an easy step-by-step guide for making this thing happen, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thank you in advance.

You need to start in the development section, and not use tools designed for other phones. Your token won't work because HTC blocks AT&T phones. You have to spoof your CID to use HTCDev. Start reading here:

Is it just me or is it odd that people can't seem to find our DEV section but have no trouble at all getting to our Q&A?

Thank you for your insight. Seriously, though? I'm sorry if I offended you by posting this thread in the wrong area of the site. I'm also sorry if I hadn't mentioned it in my post, but I haven't been on XDA Developers since I had an HTC Tilt 2. So yeah...I hope you feel good about having your head stuck up your ass.
Cheers.

Thank you kindly.
not directed at you specifically mr high horse. I field questions and help people EVERY day who flashed a ROM for the Tegra One X or wonder why a tool they found on the International one X forums won't work.
So before you jump on me for having a little fun, why don't you search my posts.
Have a nice day.

Hi guys, I know there are a lot of posts surrounding this topic, I did search but found many outdated methods so I am curious about the most up to date method.
I am using a one X that is one HTC SDK 4.11 build number 1.85 and software 1.85
Being an iphone jailbrake guy Im not sure which one matters most. Also, Im not sure about changing the bootloader as opposed to just rooting. If I change the bootlaoder am i essentialy unocking the carrier of the phone also?
So what is the currently method to rooting the One X, thank you so much, this is a very helpful forum.
Duck
Either the manual method or the 1.85 One Click by Beups and designgears
I'd imagine the STICKIED thread in development would be your best bet. You know, the one that says it's for 1.85.

Ahh sorry, didnt get to that forum yet, thanks! Question though, is the exploit for bootloader still up and running or should I just stick with rooting for now?

Definitely get that bootloader unlocked now for sure! There is a one click SuperCID thread that let's you use htcdev to unlock.

Hi guys,
Ok, being new cant post in the devs forum yet so have to post this follow-up here. So I wasn't paying attention and accidentally updated before reading the news about 2.20 here. I know I cant root now however here is my question:
If I exchange One X for replacement tomorrow that is on 1.85 is it still going to work as long as i avoid any OTA updates OR will it require an update during the process like ive read. I think Ive read that it can be interrupted but am not sure.
Thank You

As long as the phone is on 1.85 you can still use the method to gain root and unlock the bootloader.

Hi there,
I'm coming from the iPhone 4, and I got my 1st Android phone last summer, HTC One S
I got it from Fido (canada)
Since I dont have enough posts, I was told to ask dev-related questions here
I want to root my phone with the All in One toolkit, but I'm not sure if ti works with the Fido HTC One S
Thanks in advance
You should of been told to post questions in the q&a section since that means questions & answers.
And future reference never post an individual question the the dev section unless you are asking in an already established rom or dev thread.
As far as wanting to root, I can't help you there as I no longer see the point in rooting since ics

I have a Fido One S and I rooted/unlocked my phone using the toolkit, you should be good to go.
Don't let the toolkit do everything for you, otherwise when something goes wrong you won't have a single clue. Get fastboot running and learn how to send commands and unlock the bootloader through fastboot.

I agree with usaff22. Doing the modifications manually is better.
It's OK to root your One S. The rooting process has nothing to do with the carrier. For example, my One S was locked to 3 UK and I rooted without problems. Good luck!
