I know I am missing something. I am a newbie, but I've been trying to root my phone for about 3 weeks. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I've gone through the most common ways I've seen. I'm currently running software version 2.20 and still trying to root, but even before I updated, I was trying and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
Well not to be rude, but the moment you updated to 2.20 you were pretty much screwed if you wanted to root unless it's a Rogers or the Australian HOX which it is not.

Okay,
Well I couldn't figure out what to before I updated either. So I'm screwed for ever? Or?

Your stuck till someone figures out an exploit to root the 2.20 update or HTC allows us to unlock the bootloader on our att one x. I'd put my money on the first rather than the later.

This is the #2 post stickied to the top of the Development subforum, it would have linked you to everything you needed to know: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
And for future reference, if you are interested in rooting and modding Android phones, don't ever install an OTA without researching first, and being confidant in your knowledge.
Yeah, for now you are screwed. And for how long, nobody knows.
Thank you for your help and information. That's what I pretty much needed to know because I felt like I was missing something.

On a random note, after hitting postpone a few times the ota just updated itself, without my interaction. So for me I didn't have a choice, but to update to 2.20.

You had a choice alright, you could have rooted/unlocked/ROM'd before it updated. Standing at the precipice, sometimes you just gotta jump. Know what I mean?
I've read that the At&t one x can't be rooted. Is this true?? If it is then im gonna go with the S3.
Depends on the software.

So do the newest phones from att now come with 2.20? So pretty much useless to us xda folk?

I am also due for an upgrade, but will just get the Galaxy if the newest one x's are unrootable.

I'd say there is a 40% ull get on on 2.20 i got mine about a week and half ago it came with 1.73 so it's all draw of the hat I'd still get this phone anyways it's a good phone even on stock
I got onef rom work and it has 2.20....so I guess no root or custom ROMS until someone figures it out.
But someone will definitely figure it out yeah ?
One x is an awesome phone. Get that. Use it for a while and then you can root it after one of the developers figures a way out

Or if AT&T ever lets the bootloader get unlocked.
Are there many devices that remain un*rootable for the duration of their usable life?
Thanks all.
Went to swappa and found a mint white HOX running 1.85 and bootloader unlocked with TWCP. Now at least I know I'll get a good usable phone
Any word on root for 2.20???

Hey everyone im just sold my one s and bought one x but one x is not good as one s im truely sure about that worse battery life worse user interface performance maybe just screen is better i really missing my one s anyway my question is WHY one s's development thread is so weak (?) one s deserve better.
Yay, So it's true, the one s is better!!
And about the dev.. we have less because everyone thinks that the ONE X is better :\

i try to get my one s back ASAP. i hope more dev will notice one s is better..
Development will thrive when S-OFF starts, I know I might try making a ROM if we get S-OFF, only reason I'm not doing it now is because I don't want to render my warranty void.

Has HTC gave S-off to any of their other devices? I really don't think it will happen.
Don't want to jump in too much. But I had to at least say something. I'm curious what you mean when you say s=off will increase development... We will get more accomplished or attract more developers? Either way we said that for... Many, many months with the amaze... When we finally got s =off its been several months since and there has been no increase in development. Only one example but it was enough for me to think that's not the answer that we need
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
HTC definitely won't give S-OFF. We will probably get it eventually, though. Getting it will not directly make more ROMs, but it will certainly make more people root their devices, which probably will lead to more ROMs.

Not trying to discourage you from building roms but that's just a lame excuse for not doing so now. Do you really think HTC warranty terms will change when we get s-off? Again, lame!

Oh ok thats relocked vs locked. I never had any problems though returning my one s with relocked bootloader but I had to return to T-Mobile and not HTC. Not sure if HTC is strict and checks everything.
I have a one s running viper 1.2 and its amazing on the one s great battery life and performance. This weekend I unlocked and installed the one x viper rom on my big brothers one x and my one s feels way speedier. The one x feels uncomfortable in my hands and looks bulky while the one s is sexy and packed with power. Just wish there was a bit more development for the one s.

What do you mean?
I heard via Twitter that someone won a s off One S at androidbbq.
His Twitter acc is @just_reboot
Maybe some devs could contact him and help him extract the bootloader? Is there a posibility for us to use it then?

No, even though he might have the S-OFF One S, you don't. The permissions are still the same and you won't be able to edit anything on YOUR device. You guys still need to find a method, nothing has changed.

well, since hes the pr guy for team kang and is there with all those guys, im sure they are looking at it. but like the other guy said, itll be no help.
Hi I have a OX AT&T. I followed a tutorial yesterday. will install the recovery and achieve all good .. after the wipes and install the rom .. when I did reboot. is to become the cel off. no LED light or charge or anything I read you had to let him connected all night and nothing ..
Now the creator of the tutorial said that was only for international HTC and not for at&t.
someone please help me with my phone. I was only 3 days with my new phone and this happens to me :crying:
If you flashed a international ROM , I'm pretty sure that bricks your phone.
You may be out of luck.

Chances are you have a paperweight but at least it looks good

Press and hold power button w. Pointer finger, grasping width of the phone with thumb and remaining fingers. Sling hand over shoulder with high rate of velocity, releasing power button and thumb when parallel with line of sight. Rotate body 180 degrees, don't ever look back.

It's the One XL firmware number. If you were on the most recent version, 2.20, there is no current fix for your predicament. If you were on anything earlier, you may be able to unbrick using the method in the Unbricking Evita thread.
If he had an att one x and it was 4.03 it has to be lower than 2.20 the 4.04 update came with 2.20
You could always try claiming you took one of their ota's and it killed the phone. Did that to sprint and got free replacement.

Why don't you try firewater s-off to see if the exploit still works? Please report back with your findings.

Not sure why anyone is suprised. Those of us with the M7 knew this month's ago. For the first day after the M7 was released you could use HTC DEV unlock then VZ made HTC lock that down for the M7.
I too hoped maybe VZ had not gotten to HTC yet for the M8 so I tried but no luck. Will need to wait for rumrunner or firewater to be updated to support the M8. It may take a while....

Yes sir. Rumrunner gave you S-Off which is "Signature Off". Once that is set, you can flash custom recoveries and then custom rom's. It took months for the team to get this working and I know it did not work on 4.4.2. I think we are in for a long wait. If you bought this hoping you could get custom rom's you might want to reconsdier. If you like the phone and can live with it stock for a few months, it's a great device.
The M7 was the best phone I ever had and I swap phones a lot.
