Hello,
I bought a "unlocked" HTC One X on Amazon and got a 2.20 AT&T HTC One X, full of AT&T bloatware. Is it possible to at least remove the AT&T bloatware?
I don't even think it's unlocked!
Thanks

1 - Check if you have root or not (Go to the market, look for root check)
2 - If you have root, download Root uninstaller from the market, and uninstall everything from AT&T
3 - If you DO NOT have root, please check the many tutorials available on the forums about how to root it

Read the thread. I do not have root access, and I have system firmware 2.20 which cannot be rooted.
I bought an unlocked phone on Amazon and got stuck with one that isn't unlocked and is full of AT&T crapware.
Probably going to send it back and get a S III if I can't get it rooted.

Go to "manage apps" then "all". Click an app and choose "disable".

Are you sure you didn't buy a network unlocked phone... Not bl unlocked.
Most phones sold as "unlocked" means sim unlocked

You need root to uninstall the bloat.

hello i have a att tmobile unlocked on tmobile i have the build number 1.73 and i want the 1.85 so i can root it and install custom roms!! does any one know the easiest way to do this? im a noob and really need help
You don't want to upgrade to root, look for the old one click root, it works on 1.73, then the one click downloader unlock, and then install twrp recovery and flash away.
Well you can upgrade, but I think the rooting process is easier on 1.73.

I was on stock 1.73 rooted, i had root keeper installed as well, i updated via ota to 1.85 and then used root keeper to reroot, it worked fine and I'm still rooted. I don't know how it worked but it did.

I'm about to make the switch from the GS3 to the asian/international htc one xl (x325s) and i just to know one more thing: root.
I've read here that root is NOT possible on anything later than SW version 1.85. according to the store i'm purchasing it from, its shipping with either 1.88, 1.89 or maybe even 2.20 (highly unlikely).
would it still be possible to root the phone?
Thanks
The currently unrooted One XL applies only to the AT&T carrier branded version. All others can be unlocked thru htcdev.....
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I see. so the international one xl, once unlocked from htcdev, can be rooted regardless of its software version? i ask because i searched the forums and saw that the >1.85 root restriction apply to the telestra (aus) one xl as well.
I just bought an att htc one x, and when i tried to unlock bootloader thru the htc site the action was not allowed. Is there any way to root without unlocking bootloader, or is there another method for unlocking bootloader? Please help me with this because i like the phone overall but if i cant root ill be returning it for a sgs3. i have the LTE model running android 4,0,4. Ive run one click root applications and they continue to return with permision denied messages. Please help me root/unlock bootloader cuz to me its worlthless to have such a powerful phone wihtout super user access. Thanks

Check your software, if it's running 2.20 there is no root. if your lucky enough to have 1.85 you can root.

You cannot root as you are on 4.0.4.
Also a bit of searching can help A LOT.

You realize you can't update a stock AT&T device via T-Mobile, even if you're using a T-Mobile sim card?

No, before I could check and it said "no software update available this time" when I used T-Mobile simcard.

It always puzzles me why do people on custom ROMs want to get OTAs?
AT&T JB isn't rolling out yet. When it does, it will get posted in Development in a TWRP-flashable rooted form.
I also doubt the OTA will feature much (if anything) that is not already present in the JB Sense ROMs already up in Development, plus all of AT&T's bloatware crap and other meddling. Possibly including a new hboot that will mess up even more stuff this time.
