Nop, it s not another silly question that we are used to now
I just wanted to know which one is better in the rooting process ( roms, kernels , radio....)
Or simply, would you buy a rooted galaxy s3 or a rooted one x ?
Rooting HTC One is easier then rotting SGS3, i will choose HOX.

Is that a joke? Samsungs are much easier to root. HTC you have to use their bootloader unlocker which automatically voids your warranty. Changing the radio on an HTC is not a process for the faint of heart either...

So I'm hearing that the international version and the US T-Mo version are different, and it's easy to brick the T-Mo version if you use the intl guide for rooting.
Can someone please be clear about what needs to be done for rooting the T-Mo variant? This is serious business, messing with a brand new phone on a 2 yr contract.

Anyone know how to root the T-Mo HTC One S yet?
Personally, I'm not looking to install ROMs, I just want root, so I can use Titanium to back up apps and appdata and maybe a couple of other things that require root.

Same here. I'm not ready for ROMs quite yet, despite coming from daily flashes of CM9/AOKP on my Nexus S, but I'd sure as hell like to get root and get rid of all this godawful T-Mo bloatware, at the very least.
how can using root for international version brick the tmobile version ??
its not possible, the only way you brick your phone is by not following the instructions

I read a post in the developer section where someone said it was a different process. Maybe a bit more clarification is all we need. Coming from a T989 if I tried to use an international root method this would not go so good..
I just got my t-mobile one s.. Unlocked bootloader- flashed the recovery- then installed su... No problems.
I'm wondering the same. How different is different? I got the GSII for tmobile and buyers remorsed when I quickly realized there was hardly any rom support because of how different it was from the International version. I'm coming from the Vibrant community where variants were heavy but most things were relatively similar in the end. This makes me wonder if each different One S needs its own thread like the Galaxy S series.

I think you must have read something different. It's absolutely not any easier to brick the T-mo version. You must be mistaken. It's actually hard to brick (as in impossible to recover) a phone if your not messing with the radio.

Unlock the bootloader using this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604677
After that I used the superboot file found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577831
Now your phones rooted.
If you want to install a custom recovery I could only get the "Interim Touch (Custom CWM)" found in the all in one tool to stick.
hi guys,
I recently bought an AT&T One X w/ 2.20 firmware.
just wanted to know if I can flash any ROMs on the 2.20 firmware ? I'm a little confused between what is possible and what is not.
If I can flash ROMs, then I possibly dont want to root/unlock. If not, Can I unlock the 2.20 firmware using HTC-Dev (warranty voided) ? I cant seem to find One X in the dropdown at http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
Could somebody help ?

Nope. You can enjoy the phone as stock and that's all. No root, no custom roms

Simple, you can't do jack if your phone was shipped with 2.20.
Since AT&T is not allowing the bootloader to be unlocked by HTCDev.com. The workaround was to change the CID to SuperCID and fool the system, but root is needed to do that.
So you are out of luck until either a root is found for 2.20, or AT&T allows the bootloader to be unlocked. Or if S-Off is achieved.
OK. I got confused because there were all these articles that talked about unlocking the bootloader using HTCDev.
Nothing i didnt expect - any ideas on when HTC will allow bootloader unlock? Im assuming that the launch of One X+ makes this old enough to be let free
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
Hard to say, its all about what AT&T wants. All other carriers are bootloader unlockable out of the box. Its not based on any set policy, and AT&T has not made any announcement on when (if ever) they will allow it to be unlocked. They did a similar thing with the HTC Vivid. But allowed it to be unlocked about 3 months after the phone was released. That time period has long come and gone (One X was released in early May).
Well, I got a AT&T HTC ONE X( it's xl actually ).:victory:
I need to ROOT that.It said that if I want to root that.I need to unlock that first. So I try to unlock the phone by HTCDEV.
One click root not work.
One click unlock not work.
Then there came a error with a error code 160. MID ERROR.
Well,then I read some materials and know that unlocking the phone need to root first...
Okay, now I have been totally confused with that.......
Anyone can tell me how to deal with that?
Oh, my version is 2.20.502.7 710RD.
It said that it is a root-available version?
Please help me , I am not so familiar with them.

If you really searched you would simply have to type HTC one x 2.20 root and find that it is unrootable yet
Hi lucentworld
You don't need root to get a custom rom onto your phone. Once you follow the HTCDEV instructions, then you can unlock the bootloader.
Once the bootloader is unlocked, the phone is unlocked to be able to put whatever custom recovery on it you want
Once you have a custom recovery installed then you can put whatever custom ROM on it you wish.
Just because 2.20 is unrootable, this means you cant get root on the standard ROM. But once the bootloader is unlocked, that ROM goes in the bin anyways.
The HTCDEV way DEFINITELY works. I did it on my sisters One XL telstra without rooting first, she was on the latest unrootable ROM.
Good luck

Thanks for your insult. Hope you get banned for your rudeness.
I did not know ATT blocked unlocking. Here in Australia, we don't have such anal carriers. I was able to unlock my sisters One XL by the HTCDEV way. I was simply mentioning the way that I achieved unlocking. Nice overreaction.
Damn, after reading the guides myself. It looks like you are pretty screwed if you have the ATT One X on that version. I was a bit thrown by the mention of One XL. Here in Aus, we have the One X (international tegra quad core) and the One XL (qualcomm dual core). Its a little less confusing, One X = quad core One XL = dual core. It seems in the states, you have ATT One X = dual core, Rodgers One XL, and International One X

Sorry I had to wake up to do hw and pretty tired...so both versions are in Australia? Why didn't you go with the tegra.?
seuppt hollow
LOL, no probs dude,
The Telstra ver. has LTE
And 3G coverage that covers most of the country
Vodafone, Optus and virgin are left with the One X (tegra)
I am happy with the performance and battery life of the One XL, the missus has a Tegra One X, and I really cant tell the difference. Both were just as hard to Root/Unlock
Good Luck OP :good:
So the only thing I can do is to wait for a method to root the 2.20?
Damn AT&T...00

Second, yes, the same question: Has anyone here tried to unlock this phone? the Infobar A02 is basically a modified version of HTC One X, so some one on 2chan suggest that we should follow the same procedure of unlocking AT-T HTC One X for this one. Btw, HTCDev already S-ON/OFF this device.
Thank you for any kind of helping here. I'm anxiously waiting for any solutions, since I like this phone:laugh:
The one x is completely unlockable thru HTCdev. Unless you own the att version because HTC blocks att cids

If it's heavily modified then it's not really similar. Are you talking about hardware or software
Sent from my Nexus 4
I know this is an old thread, but since there's unlock directions now:
This article describes how to SIM-unlock the Infobar after you've achieved S-Off. Pull misc.img and some modem files (follow the commands the site gives you, I'm guessing), use a binary editor to edit misc.img so that (address?) 00001020 reads 02, then push it back into the phone. Poof, unlocked. If the Chinese sites are any indication, this unlock applies to the CDMA side as well, if you're planning to use it on a CDMA carrier that does SIMs.
Should I get unlocked Pixel XL or unlocked Moto Z? I want to root & use it on Verizon
I am a Verizon user and looking to get either the unlocked Pixel XL or unlocked Moto Z.
Both seem to be able to work on Verizon.
Both seem to have a root toolkit.
Is one easier to root than the other?
Is one better for rom support?
Any thoughts to help me chose 1 or the other?
Thanks!

Any time you can get a Google Nexus or Pixel device you'll be doing yourself a favor. You don't have to worry about them being locked down like other devices because they are pure Google android without manufacturer/carrier crap on them.

Pixel devices are easier to root and the easiest to create custom development for them. As I said, they don't have manufacturer/carrier crap. This means they aren't locked down by the manufacturer/carrier like other devices that have permanently locked bootloader.
Pixel devices usually get custom development sooner than most other devices because they are pure Google android without all the extra crap so there are fewer issues to deal with when creating custom software for them. Developers love Pixel devices because they are the easiest to develop for.
