Downgrade HTC One X?

Does anyone know a method of downgrading the HTC One X to 1.85? I looked around hoping for an answer but nothing. Then I thought to myself (after having to download an ruu for my old vivid countless times) that I could just download the 1.85 RUU for the One X and run that. Unfortunatly that had failed. I'm wanting to root my One X but with it being 2.20, root capabilities have been eliminated. So, does anyone have a way of downgrading the phone? Results or not, Thanks.

Patience Luke. If you got to 2.20 before rooting you are effed for the moment, but sooner or later somebody will break it. Of you were already rooted and unlocked with a superCID you should be able to re rkotu

i'm about to break my F5 key waiting on this

I know this sounds dumb (it did to me too) but you can exchange your phone for a new one so you would then have 1.85. Thats what i did and now i'm happily running sense 4.1.

Already broke that

Wasn't that a $35 restocking fee?

Yeah at AT&T.

Hopefully that someone has more success than the devs that have been trying to break the s-off barrier :/ I know it's not easy, and I sure appreciate the work that goes into it.

i just got out of an IRC chat with mike1986 (the creator of the rom you would be running if you have a tegra phone) and he said that nobody has this one xL phone. it's just us guys. the rest of the world got the quad core tegra that is unlocked to begin with. we would have to be lucky that of the few one xL users, one of them has the competency to hack the new OTA.. and i asked beaups if he could do it, and he hasn't found a way yet (he hacked the 1.85)

Hmm...that does sound kind of depressing. I'm kind of wondering if there is still anything we can do if we have unlocked bootloaders but no root. I really want to know more about how exploits are found and how the other hacks were discovered.

If you're bootloader is unlocked then you're ok. You can always push root via recovery.

I'm now flashing the Stock Rooted Odexed version of 2.20 from scottsroms.com. I wonder if I'm the only one who updated that previously had root and an unlocked bootloader and thinks their stuck. Again, thanks Gunny. I didn't know I could still do this!

Did you have to install the boot.img separately?

No. I started with a relocked bootloader. I unlocked the bootloader again with my unlock token, flashed the twrp img using fastboot and then just flashed the odexed stock rooted updated rom. Worked like a charm.

Ok thanks.

They put the system update on me before I left the store and I didn't notice until it was too late. I tried to exchange and they wouldn't do it, not even for a re-stocking fee. Hopefully I can find a store that will be more cooperative.

Can you please explain how to downgrade HOX with a stock RUU?

Many threads on this process but in order to downgrade hboot you need either s off or you need to use jet tool to downgrade. S off is alot easier process and there is a thread with step by step, if your hboot was recently updated ota it can't be downgraded at this time

Root, unlock, and s-off. If you took the JB update, there is no way to do it currently.

I'm very new at this and need some help with my HTC One X

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:

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.

Root 2.20

I'm still a noob when it comes to the HTC one x. Is there a root exploit that I have missed for 2.20 possibly or is it like the bootloader, still waiting on the release from HTC?

There's about a thousand threads already on this subject. Search function is your friend.
And no, no root for 2.2 has been made available........ yet.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe we're still out of luck on that. Unless you updated to 2.20 from 1.85 with superCID. Thats the only work around to my knowledge.

Doesnt HTC have to let us root within 90-120 days from release?
---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------
Ahulab- yes you are correct there or if you were previously unlocked(supercid hand in hand obviously) you could unlock using your original token instead of having to regenerate another

Any updates on the Unlocking of the Bootloader or the Root Access for 2.20? I did not koww about this before purchasing the AT&T HTC One X.....very disappointed but if it is just a matter of time then i can wait, not sure how it normally goes for these things??

[Q] Getting S-OFF

I know there's a thread for s-off already, but it seems to have stalled? I am looking to start something, and figure it out before I end up contacting HTC myself. First question I have, is there such a thing as a DIAG file for the XL? I see on one x forum that they have been working on a way to use a white card, and this diag file, but they have only one problem, the CID needs to be be a superCID, which most of us with XL already have. I know I do. Please help me help find a way. Thanks.

Glad you wanna join in
I would start tho by reading what info is available, starting a new thread on project development should at least start with something not already being researched in the first thread. Not being rude, but read thru the existing thread, get as many questions as you can answered, and then figure out what questions need to be answered. It really is a practice that makes things simpler, information referenced easier, efficient and much much more productive.
The existing s off thread is in the general forum so anybody can post anytime too, so feel free to read and post, in that order

Yes I have read it over, If anyone can find any hboot that can be s-offed, does it have to be for the evita, or could we use an (ENG hboot?) from the jewel? I have read on one forum that this user flash successfully the evita on to his jewel, and it would boot to the bootloader, which is all you need for some of the o-ff tools, then once you write the S-OFF flag, you should be good to flash any hboot back and maintain that flag?
Anyways, I have read all over, I just can post in the dev forums... yet. I have read them all over time and time again. So this is yet another option to try out.

You were asked to tread lightly in the s-off thread but no you go in there and bombard/pollute the thread with irrelevant comments. The S-off thread is not for you to ask questions. If you have a MEANINGFUL contribution to make by all means do but at this point why don't you sit back, take a deep breath and READ instead of pissing everybody off and making an already tense situation worse,
Please, pretty please. I'm f#$%&ing begging you.

[Q] HELP Att htc one x build 3.18 unable to root

I'm a noob, so help me try to root my htc one x on att with build 3.18 running 4.1.1
I'm using Wizzrah Evita toolkit and when I hit the motochopper it'll reboot into my bootloader and after that the command prompt with just stay on waiting for devices? did I do something wrong? or is it supposed to do that. Also how do I get the token from HTCdev? I heard that I have to change the CID? to 2222222... is that right?

Click the link in my signature, navigate to the root section, find the 3.18 root method, follow instructions.

Not familiar with that toolkit. When Googling for it, it looks like a dev on Android Central. Did you post there for help? wizzrah does not look to be an active developer/poster on XDA, and as far as I can tell, his toolkit was never posted here.

You seem very unclear on the process to bootloader unlock this device. This is where toolkits and the like (one-click roots, etc.) will do you no justice, as they basically allow/encourage you to root your phone without the proper knowledge. I agree with timmaaa that you need to do some more reading before proceeding. Temp root using Motochopper is needed in order to obtain SuperCID (11111111 or 22222222). Only then can you get a bootloader unlock token from HTCDev.com.

I can help you bro!

Reason I didn't post my toolkit here is because I saw there were already people posting their toolkits so I decided to just stick with Androidcentral. I got bored wait for Hasoon2000's toolkit to return so I made my own.

As far as I'm concerned, the more the merrier, and you should feel free to post your work here, regardless of the fact there are already other toolkits existing. Unless of course the other reason you didn't post it was for lack of your own time.
To be clear, I'm not at all implying your tool isn't a great one. But its not one I've seen mentioned here, its not posted here, and probably most of the folks here will not be familiar with it. It seemed a bit odd that the OP posted a question here, rather then the forum where he found the toolkit in the first place.
