Hi everyone,
I have a AT&T HOX, which runs at 2.20. Is there any possibility to downgrade to a lower version and root the device? I really love "hacking" these phones but Im stuck at 2.20...
Thank you for your time reading my topic
No, if there was no one would be complaining about 2.20.
Search some.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838640
Here's gunnyman thread on the 2.20 think tank. There is also a bounty for 2.20 root in the general discussion.

Search does not always equal knowledge
OP:
I had the same question. I just picked HOX 2.20 off of Craigslist. I didn't know about the CBlock from AT&T version 2.20. I guess I'll have to try some social engineering at the store to get the to free it up for me. From what I've read, root is required to downgrade but no root is available for 2.20, yet.
BTW: I've been looking for this answer for a while, via search. This is the only thread that clearly states 2.20 is not downgradable.

Don't know where you were looking.
Uh.....? I posted a link to another thread stating that 2.20 is not rootable yet. There are at least three in the general discussion thread that I can think of. If you want I can't paste those here? Happy to help in any way. I feel bad for you folks that are locked out on the 2.20.

Not downgradable != not rootable. It's a matter of them not searching with the correct terminology or not understanding what they need to have to downgrade, but obviously they don't know which is why they are asking the question in the first place.
There is now root for 2.20. Check the General forum.

Ok, im a little confused so im hoping someone can help me out. My phone is showing Tampered at the top of the HBOOT screen. Now, is this because of root? I only ask because i have a stock ATT so im clearly not unlocked. Any help would be great.
yes its because of root....and i am pretty sure that is expressed throughout the rooting thread
Ok, maybe i missed that, ive been reading threads upon threads upon threads and i recall reading it in the Unlocking threads for the rogers version but i couldnt remember it being in the root threads, my apologies.

Also, RUU flash removes the tampered flag.

Well crap. I held off on ordering One-X until root and unlocked bootloader will possible, since I don't like running the bloated stock ATT roms. Just received new One-X today and it arrived with 1.85 installed, so I'm in exactly the situation I wanted to avoid.
So I'm upgrading to the One X, order is made and paid, because my Sammy Infuse charging port is fritzing up and I'm just looking for any tips, info or basic know how for the One X. Also, I haven't looked up on the One X board until now so forgive me but why are there two android dev boards?
Any info helps! :good:
Pretty vague request. But here is a good place to start: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
"Original Android Development" forum is for AOSP based ROMs. "Android Development" forum is for Sense based. Its a bit confusing, I agree.

That's the information money load there, thanks. Quick question, I saw in a different thread that people were looking for 1.85 or so firmware instead of the newest 2.20. Is there a particular reason why?

Until yesterday afternoon, there was no root for 2.20.
Also, hboot on 2.20 is write-protected, which makes flashing roms a bit more complicated.

Oh wow, thats awesome but now I understand why its not exactly wanted. Hopefully I don't get a 2.20 by sheer luck.
It could be a mixed blessing. Firmware updates usually bring improvements to hardware. Who knows, maybe they fixed something.

New question since I don't wanna make a new thread.
How easy or difficult is it to hard brick the One X? I know with my Infuse that the only way to hard brick it is with failing during flashing bootloaders and even then theres a hard brick fix jig but I dunno much about the One X so far.

That's awesome, thanks. So I just got it this afternoon and I was looking and I saw that it only has about 12gb of memory including the 2gb partition for apps. This phone was advertised on the AT&T website as having "Up to 16gb of memory" Am I missing anything else? I'm a serious music whore and I have at least 14gb of music. It sucks enough that it doesn't have a micro sdhc slot
Hello everybody on my first post in xda, i need your help, it is why i am here, i have a Htc One X of 16GB but with tegra 3, don't have Lte and it say that is from europe in the hardware info (Have HTC logo, don¡t company logo or at&t logo)(yoigo get that one to me, is free sim) and then i don't know if that one is at&t, evita, if is the XL, or simply one x international, i am just now
i was searching for how to root that one (and if possible flash that one) yesterday and today, i have linux installed, ubuntu 13.10, and all what i try to do fail or didn't work. (believe me, i read a long number of post and download a long number of files and try some different methods typing on the console.
I need your help to root my phone, i will accept to unlock bootloader, to edit hex, to flash 20 files, to downgrade my phone, and to burn my face (preffer to don't do it) if neccesary.
How can i do it?
All possible util data from my device:
Resume (Fully updated with the official software)
USB Depuration mode: On.
Android 4.2.2
Sense 5
Software Version 4.18.401.2
Kernel 3.1.10-g7f360be
Compilation number 4.18.401.2 CL231174 (i was touch that 7 times then i am supposed developer)
Hboot 1.72
What is perfect to me?
My final purppose is flash cyanogenmod 10.2.1, if can't do want to simply get root access.
(Other possibility to me is flash that one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2640571
(i am not noob (of all) i was rooted some devices and flash two devices and don't have problem to try the harder method if someone know how to do what i want to do)
THANKS for the helper and sorry if my english isn't perfect!!

First you are in the incorrect forum. Second once you are in the correct forum, search before posting. There are many ways to root. Just find one

(it is why i was writing my pc SO)
thanks for you, but need personal help with that.
Please try to help me with an usual problems list, some ideas, some howto or almost redirect me to the correct link where someone have a similar problem that was solver, because, i can't found that.
Thanks other time , but sorry because don't is usefull to me search (i am yet searching) :crying:

Tegra3 is not the EVITA, its the ENDEAVORU.
To verify, you can boot into hboot and you will either see EVITA or ENDEAVORU.
For ENDEAVORU, its pointless to ask here. Any advice we give you would fail and possibly even brick your phone. You need to go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-x

You should have done some research before you installed the update, it patched the last exploit which means there's no way for you to unlock the bootloader or get root. You'll hav to wait and see IF a dev bothers to crack it on this device which is getting old now.

Any idea or suggestion to unlock the hotspot. I just need the hotspot unlocked I don't need to be root or superiser. I just need the hotspot unlocked, I have tried with Foxfi but it just allow to tether by usb. Any idea for this? Thank you
No you can't without unlocking the unlocking the bootloader and rooting. It's a fairly well established (and discussed) fact that official updates patch root exploits, that's why it pays to research before doing something like that.

If a dev has interest trying, he will find a way. But the thing is, most devs won't have interest. So sit tight and maybe send a bounty

When its answered on here there is no method to unlock the bootloader, this includes downgrading. If there was a downgrade method, you would have been directed to that. Downgrading is not allowed on Android without root.

By buying a phone from a source other than your carrier, and also asking to mod the phone to work beyond its intended features (even though WiFi hotspot is intended to work on just about any carrier version except AT&T) you put yourself out of the category of "normal phone user" and it also means you have to do the proper research. Not knowing is no excuse.
Are all of the One A9s ordered direct from HTC able to be BL unlocked right from HTC or is there still a process outside of that? Does it wipe the device?
Hoping to get the device and quickly root to maybe use apps like greenify to get some tolerable battery life. All the reviews say battery is terrible.

You unlock the boot loader via htc.dev and s-off with sunshine, read the thread about it. Good luck it is not that hard to do, and the 25$ to s-off is well spent money.
You're able to use htc dev program to unlock the bootloader. If you got yours directly from htc and if it's the developer edition then the bootloader comes unlocked with no warranty void. Unlocking the bootloader through htc dev does in fact wipe your device. Once I obtained the device from att I unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp and installed the latest supersu beta for systemless root. Afterwards I booted up, installed sunshine and purchased s-off. After I gained s-off I converted to the developer edition by changing my cid to BS_US001 (dev edition) and flashing the corresponding firmware. As of now there are flashable zips from @Captain_Throwback that are prerooted. If you're looking to use greenify or amplify than I'd recommend the deodexed version as that makes it more stable for the xposed framework.
Wait you have to pay to get root?
Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk
Not for root. For S-Off.
Don't you need s-off for root?

The purpose of forums is to collaborate and help. Every single phone manufacturer does things differently and every forum is setup differently. I checked the top threads in general and QA and didn't see my answers.

I am sorry if I offended you, but this is not a chat app , and the rooting thread is one of the first an biggest in here, the info in a forum like this are intended to be used, and we can't shout out a question in a new thread the second it pops up in our head. Then we will never find anything around here, I often go back and read up on things so that I am sure of things, this xda forum has so much knowledge saved and there must be some kind of structure to get it to work. Try look up how many members we have, you will be surprised..
