Well I have an AT&T HTC ONE X and it was 100% stock but the SIM slot failed and I had to get a warranty replacement, and it has 4.1 already installed... Is there anyway to downgrade so I am able to flash CM10 or is there any way to flash CM10 right now?
Thanks.
Does the s-off exploit not work on 4.1? I haven't seen anyone try it

From what I know if you took the ota update then there's no work around into root/unlock bootloader/s-off as the update patched it up,so pretty much your stuck with the ota update with no root and anything else until someone can figure out another method

If you're on AT&T, no. Downgrading is possible, but you need s-off, and you need to root to get s-off. There is apparent root method for 4.1 on AT&T. One guy managed it on the x-factor exploit but no one else has been able to.
Your also going to have to reset your flux capacitor.

You might try the X-factor exploit just to see. One guy somehow got it to work, though no one knows how.

i really don't think that guy got it to work. i think he was just partially done with the process before the jb update.

He claimed it was a brand new phone. Clearly something unique whatever it was. I've been helping him via PM and he's definitely a noob so he may have dones something weird without realizing it.

If so, you can't unlock the bootloader, and thusly you cannot root.

The fact that it's refurbished has no bearing over whether or not it's rootable.
The main point of the question was if I should or shouldn't... If they didn't reset the bootloader or main circuit board I can end up with another brick. That's what I'm trying to avoid this time

One of the various reasons why the "one-click" methods always look suspicious to me. It often ends up being "one-click root method for every phone . . . except HTCs".
But by all means, OP should try it, and let us know.

Actually, this makes perfect sense in theory as you use that to root. It says nothing about unlocking the bootloader.
Once you have root, you could then SuperCID and then unlock your bootloader.

-hexedit CID to 11111111
-follow the s-off exploit
Once you've got s-off, you can change your CID to 22222222 and use htcdev to unlock. After that, it's just a matter of flashing recovery and a rooted rom.

The ruu tells you step by step what to do. These phones are more tempermental than Samsung stuff. If you rush it and miss a step you will probably end up with a paperweight

I agree that Samsung+Odin makes life easier. But I like the challenge in AT&T (and Motorolas). Whatever floats your boat. Glad you got it rooted. Can you put a [fixed] or [solved] tag in your title? That way people can easily find the answer instead of making a new thread
