I haven't seen anything specific to 1.94, but you could always unlock your bootloader through HTCDev and flash a custom recovery with ADB and flash the SU binary. I think you may be out of luck if you want a root option that doesn't involve unlocking the bootloader.

That's right, there no method to root on 1.94 at this moment. Only way I got my HOX rooted was by unlocking the bootloader using HTCDEV and flashing TWRP recovery and then flashing Cleanrom 4.5 which gave me root access. There might be a few other roms out there that will give you root after you flash them but I've tried a few and Cleanrom 4.5 was the only one that gave me root. It's a great rom so I'm happy with that.

With custom recovery/unlockedBL you just flash or push root right from recovery.

Im on Rogers and im not sure how that will work. Im seeing all the new roms/mods based off 1.85.
Do i need to upgrade to 1.85 from 1.73? How do i go about doing so with the Rogers phone? Im already unlocked/rooted. Thx
Isn't root currently broken for 1.85?

not for me, i'm on 1.85 and rooted with an unlocked bootloader. in summary, the method i used was (a) applied SuperCID as the Device ID and unlocked, then relocked bootloader, (b) flashed the 1.85 RUU, unlocked the bootloader (again), installed CWM recovery, flashed the SU (superuser.apk) and now i'm on rooted on 1.85.
I got my HOX about 2 weeks now. I really want to flash it with a custom Rom. Tried lots of rooting instructions with no success. Phone is now back to factory reset using RRU method. I got the bootloader unlock. No success loading Clockworkmod on boatloader recovery.

I have the same issue but it says my phone says it is tapered. I want to go back to stock at least. What instructions did you follow for that?

not sure how to remove the "tampered" status but i got it back to stock using RRU method and load a stock Rogers Rom. you need to re-lock it before using RRU. my status now is Tampered and Relock.

Did you use the 1.94 RUU or did you try to Flash the 1.73 original?
You must root on 1.85. Scripts don't work on any other version.

Can I just use RRU to go back to 1.85? Please attach a link.

Best way to root at this moment would be to unlock your bootloader using HTCDEV and flash TWRP recovery and then flash CleanRom 4.5 which will give you root as long as you kepp that rom on your phone. There could be other roms out there that will give you root access but I've flashed a few and CleanRom 4.5 was the only one that got me rooted. Until they come up with a way to perm root on 1.94 I suggest using this method.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can root with any ROM.
If you unlock and flash a recovery-
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
and you cant get it to boot the custom recovery heres the trick, after you flash the recovery type
fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img

So is it locked or unlocked , and do you have root. Sounds like one of those two issues....also what ruu did you use and was it upgrade ruu from prevoius. There is many threads on these issues.

You don't need root to install TWRP. For every One X variant except AT&T, the root method is to unlock bootloader, install TWRP, then flash SU or a rooted ROM (and this is also the way to get perm root on 2.20).
Go into bootloader, and verify that it says UNLOCKED.
Hi there,
just got a One X and wanted to install a custom Rom. Did bootloader unlock and installed TWRP with Toolkit. As I'm on Windows 8 I couldn't do the root part, if I'm not mistaken this is not needed and the custom ROM will be rooted anyway..? So TWRP installed successfully and I cleaned Cache but it doesn't start when i select recovery in HBOOT it stucks at the green HTC logo.. Is there any advice? Thanks in advance..
Edit: also just noticed that you did not root. You really need to do that before trying to install a ROM. I know you unlocked the boot loader but rooting is still needed to access system files. With out that, it is pointless. Find a Linux or windows 7 mention.
Better yet just run a live USB within Linux. That should work. Ooh, I wonder can you boot using your phone since it can be considered a mass storage device....probably not. Sorry off topic.
My guess is that windows 8 probably isn't reading your phone correctly. But you said you unlocked the boot loader. Try to manually install twrp

Just download the latest HTC sync from HTC website and it Will install drivers you need, you can then leave sync or uninstall it and drivers will remain.

How are you going to access twrp if you do not have root and super user?
Good luck with that.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
If the bootloader is unlocked, there's no need to root. They are independent of each other.
Check md5 on your recovery file and reflash. Then do fastboot erase cache and try going to recovery.

I thought unlocking the BL and root was co-dependant. You can root but can't install ROMs until the BL is unlocked. Or you could unlock boot loader but can't touch system files until you gain root access.
Or did I miss understand? Which is why rooting alone nor unlocking the BL alone is not the only step in installing a ROM.

I will explain further.
For ATT One XL root was needed prior to unlocking the bootloader to allow you to write to system files(which is no longer possible as of 3.18), and be able to change the CID in order to allow HTCDEV to provide the Unlock_code.bin to unlock your bootloader. This is probably where your confusion stems.
IF, like every other carrier, ATT allowed you to unlock the bootloader, you would not need to have rooted to be able to unlock your bootloader, you could have just unlocked it and then flashed TWRP. At that point you could flash a rooted rom or allow TWRP to root your rom for you. (For some rom versions, I believe anything under 3.18)
Hope this cleared some stuff up for you! :good:
Ah makes perfect since now. Darn AT&T and their lock downs.
So basically Rogers and Telstra can root just by unlocking and that's it. No exploit needed. And of course flashing twrp and a rom

Correct!
Last night I ruu to 3.18 and it went well. Now I don't have su binary or twrp recovery. I can get into recovery but touch screen doesn't work. I installed su from market but it says no su binary when I try to use it. so what do I need to do to get this stuff back working. any help appreciated.
thanks
Downgrade touch panel firmware.

If you want root, flash a rooted ROM.
You don't need to downgrade your touch firmware. Make sure you are running twrp 2.3.3.

S-on or S-off? Bootloader unlocked?
If you ran the RUU, of course TWRP and SU are not installed. RUU restores the phone to stock, including stock recovery; and no SU either.
