Hi, I am another noob on this forum and I have been looking around for a root for my htc one xl which was updated to the latest software version: 2.40.841.4.
I tried to unlock the bootloader through htcdev.com but it does no recognise the device after going through all those steps.
Can anyone please tell me how I can do this if it is possible. If not, is there anything I can do? I really badly want to root my device.
Thanks

Did you use X-Factor root exploit to change your CID first?
He doesn't have to xfactor

Yep I tried that, but it just recognise the device. I installed htc sync and stopped all the background processes. Yet it's still not working.

I suggest the OP try to re-install the HTC drivers, try a different USB port, even a different computer, if possible.

Sorry for the very late reply, but I did install all the drivers correctly. Tried it on my linux laptop and windows desktop, but still no success. I read all steps clearly to. But nothing is happening
And again I am on the latest software. I coincidently updated it when I received it without knowing there will be no root or exploits available for the software version yet.
Oh keep in mind that I am updated to the latest default software update.

I think you are still misunderstanding. No exploit is needed for any version of this phone aside from the US AT&T version.
All you need to do is unlock the bootloader, than either flash SU or flash a rooted ROM, in order to get root.
If you are having problems unlocking the bootloader, try a different USB port, and keep trying. I believe some folks have had to do it several times in order to get it to unlock.
Is adb able to see the device at all?
It is evident that the OP needs to read the tutorials that are available more closely.
1. Before you proceed any further, please make sure (130%) that your ADB and Android SDK folders are configured and set up properly. If those aren't set up properly, then you cannot proceed any further. Good way to check is to type in "adb devices" when you think you have everything set up.
2. Go to HTCDev.com and follow the instructions there closely. Read them first, print them, read them again, then execute it step by step. This will allow you to get your unlock token to have your bootloader unlocked. Remember, this will void your warranty.
3. Once you're unlocked, go to TWRP's homepage and download the latest version of TWRP. Do not use CWM as it is not recommended for the HOXL. Once you have that, push it to your device through fastboot to have a custom recovery.
4. Find a ROM that is compatible with the HOXL and flash through recovery. Remember to make a backup of your current stock ROM, in case you need it later.
Those are the steps in a nutshell. Again, keep reading and asking questions if you don't understand something. As long as they're educated questions, you shouldn't get any flak from the members here . Good luck!
I tried that and adb does not come up with any recognised devices.

As long as the usb port on your computer is picking up the phone, this usually indicates that your drivers aren't up-to-date. Try running HTC Sync again to make sure there aren't any new drivers or even check for a newer version of HTC Sync.
It says that all my drivers are up to date already.

I managed to unlock the bootloader for my AT&T One X. These are the steps that I took.I think that the problem I had was that my root wasn't done completely. SuperSU was installed, but whenever I tried to use an app that required root, it would ask if I was rooted.
1. I factory reset my phone through the bootloader. (For me, this removed root).
2. I uninstalled the HTC drivers on my PC, then reinstalled.
3. Re-root, using this root.
3a. USB debugging enabled3b. Disable fastboot.3c. Make sure HTC sync isn't running.3d. If using desktop, plug USB into the back of the computer.4. Check and make sure root is working properly. You can go into SuperSU and it should update SU binaries.
5. Use this tool to unlock the bootloader.
That is what worked for me. I took every precaution I could think of and it worked. Good luck!

I'm running 3.18 on my att one x and having zero luck unlocking my phone via htcdev... keep getting error 160. I also cant find any one click roots for 3.18?? Any special steps I should know about?
That's because htcdev blocks AT&T phones. You need to get SuperCID first. You can't have looked very hard, because there is a 3.18 root method in the General section of our phone's forum. Also, you probably need to do some reading, because you should have known these facts before attempting to alter your phone.

You can't find any 1-click roots for 3.18, because there are none.
The "special steps" you should follow, are to first start looking at my Index thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Find the root method for 3.18. Then you will need to SuperCID. Then, and only then, will you be able to unlock the bootlaoder. Read read read.
Has anybody had this issue with the HTC One M4
To anybody that knows about these forums,
I have been trying to unlock the bootloader for the new HTC One from Verizon, I went to the HTcdev website, and I follow all the instructions step by step, I paste the code into the box, then it tells me some code error 160 mid not allowed, so now I have no clue what that means, I check out the websites and they all have similar instructions on unlocking the bootloader, but they all worked and none of them got the error 160 mid not allowed, I check out the error forums, and they are just as frustrating because they get detailed into what the reason in the code is, but considering that the need for the code to be all 1111 doesn't help when the phone won't even unlock through the htcdev site.
Has anyone else come up against this particular error and if so how was it resolved? Any help is greatly appreciated:fingers-crossed:
You're I'm the wrong forum buddy, this is the HTC One XL forum.
Sent from my Evita
I have successfully rooted the AT&T HTC One X running build 2.20.
In the previous build (1.85), S-ON was only partially enforced, so it was possible to modify the /system partition without having unlocked the bootloader, in order to install su and Superuser.apk. This was changed in build 2.20: full S-ON is now in effect. As a result, it is no longer possible to write to /system even after remounting it as writable, since the S-ON feature has NAND-locked the storage.
In other words, it's impossible have a "permanent root" on 2.20 in the traditional sense without unlocking the bootloader.
I have prepared an exploit that gains temporary root access by leveraging two vulnerabilities and uses these newly gained root privileges to overwrite the CID ("superCID"), so that it's possible to unlock the bootloader via HTC's website. I'm sorry if you'd prefer to not unlock your bootloader this way, but there are no other options for root access available.
===========
DISCLAIMER
===========
This exploit modifies the CID of your device. Doing so likely voids your warranty, and may be in violation of your contract with AT&T (I am not a lawyer). Additionally, while this exploit has been tested and has not been observed to cause any negative side effects in practice, I am in no way responsible if it turns your device into an expensive paperweight.
=============
INSTRUCTIONS
=============
1. Download the exploit from:
http://vulnfactory.org/public/X_Factor_Windows.zip
Edit: Linux/Mac version available here. Thanks to Jesse Osiecki (@jesseosiecki) for suggesting I support this and providing me with a working version (that I ended up re-writing):
http://vulnfactory.org/public/X_Factor_Linux_OSX.zip
2. Extract the entire zip file.
3. Connect your device via USB, ensure you have the latest HTC USB drivers installed (only on Windows), and ensure USB debugging mode is enabled.
4. Double-click "run.bat", or if running Linux or OSX, open a terminal, change directories to the extracted exploit, and run "./run.sh".
5. Follow the instructions printed by the exploit. You will need to authorize two backup restorations during the exploit's execution.
6. If the exploit is successful, it will print "[+] Set CID!". If it does not print this, the exploit has failed, so please do not continue.
7. The exploit will automatically reboot into bootloader mode. Press enter after bootloader mode is finished booting, and the exploit will print your CID. If the exploit was successful, it should return "11111111" as your CID.
8. If your CID was successfully set, press enter to generate an unlock token.
9. Visit htcdev.com, navigate to the "Bootloader unlock" section, choose "All other supported models" from the drop-down menu, and provide the unlock token when asked.
10. After unlocking the bootloader, you can flash a custom recovery partition via fastboot, boot into recovery mode, and use a recovery ADB shell or install from an update.zip to install Superuser and su (I do not provide support for custom recoveries, but this is a straightforward process that other people can help with).
======
NOTES
======
I am not affiliated with any Android forum or group, including XDA - this is just where I've chosen to publish this exploit.
Portions of this exploit are similar in concept to the ADB backup/restore exploit published by Bin4ry, but the vulnerability used in this exploit is entirely distinct from Bin4ry's.
========
CREDITS

Thanks to Michael Coppola for pointing me at the vulnerable driver I leverage for the second phase of the exploit, and props for independently discovering the same vulnerability I used. Thanks to jcase and P3Droid for their continuing support - I owe you guys beers.

Awesome job!
Thanks for this djrbliss .. root.. yeah!!
Great work man! Congrats.
And welcome to all the new ROM flashers
Well, seems like here's the proof.
I take back my doubts, very nice job!
the one xl is my first android device so i got some questions
by temp root you mean when you shut off the phone we need to do it again?
and i guess there will be a perm root soon because of this exploit am i right?
also ty very much djrbliss
for achieving this :].
It utilizes a temp root to change the CID and therefore unlock
The unlock is permanent, the root is temporary
Though after you unlock, just flash a SuperUser zip and you will get permanent root
Temp root is being used to spoof the CID and unlock the bootloader in order to flash a custom recovery, and thus custom ROMs that are then rooted. This is a permanent root solution.

This will fully root your phone. Just follow instructions to root, Super CID, unlock BL then flash recovery.
The root itself is a different manner than 1.85 but the whole process after should be the same. This is a method to get you to unlock the BL.
Stupid question. Will this method work on Mac?

So this will work with the new HBOOT as well then? Say if someone uses the 2.20 RUU or got an ATT HOXL with the updated bootloader that came with 2.20 ?
Example - I can flash the 2.20 RUU to get a "fresh start" for my phone ( I have the older hboot , unlocked with S-On, never took the 2.20 update), run this, re-unlock, and then put CM10 back on and everything will function as it does now ?

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader on my HTC one X phone for AT&T. My reason for doing this is i am no longer using AT&T so i unlocked the phone but i would also like to be able to use the wifi hotspot function which AT&T has blocked.
I followed this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671396 to accomplish the unlock but I'm getting this error when typing "su" in the adb shell command: /system/bin/sh: su: not found

Yes all the Version Means is it's Version 2.0 for the ToolKit, You probably have the 2.20 Firmware on Your phone... any way yes the ToolKit Will work, as a Troubleshooting step, make sure that you have the latest fastboot Drivers for HTC, and those can be found @ http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe also check your device manager and make sure that your PC is recognizing the Device, it should say Android Phone --> My HTC, or something similar.

You said you can't change the CID, Did they change the CID back? Is it CWS__001?
Also, it is possible to run 3.18 rooted if your bootloader is already unlocked but you cannot unlock the bootloader with CID CWS__001 and 3.18 as 3.18 blocks system write which you need to change the CID to unlock the bootloader.
bucknaked, make sure if it is the same phone. if so you could use your old unlock token. not sure about the lack of supercid though to gain s-off.

To know what needs to be done I need to know the history of the device. Odin is Samsung only, there is no HTC equivalent. Who got the phone to this point, you or your cousin? You need to find out what he's done.

Well, one problem is that the screen is cracked.
Seriously though, the phone for some reason or other cannot load into the OS, and is stuck in bootloader. Other than that, not much else can be determined if you don't know the history of what was done.

Nope. You need to know the history of the device. There is an HTC-specific recovery utility. But running it on a device with unknown history can brick the phone permanently. Particularly since the device is definitely tampered (as shown on the first line of the screen).
Also, the phone's IMEI is personal information, and should not be posted on the internet. You should edit the photo to hide the IMEI.
Unlock your bootloader. Sometimes if you have custom installed or fragments of a custom ROM on the device it will boot directly into your bootloader. After unlocking your bootloader you can install a recovery image and sideload a ROM.
yes i asked my brother and he is saying he doesnt remember what he had done to it... if anyone can show me a way to do something ill try it... or else should i take it to some shop to get it fixed.... which would cost me... but first i wanted to get my hands over d expert advise of u all

This phone is in a dangerous state.. Running the RUU in this state could brick the phone (make it permanantly unusable without a jtag). Though typically that is how one would return a phone to stock.. to be honest, the safest thing to do would be to unlock the bootloader, flash a rom, S-OFF and then return it to stock. If these seem like foreign terms to you, you have a lot of reading to do. Your phone is in a tough spot right now ESPECIALLY not knowing the history regarding what was done. You would need the bootloader unlock token to reunlock that phone if you don't have it, there's very little chance of safely returning that phone to stock.

Brother or cousin, or both? It seems you don't even know who has been messing with your phone. And the person(s) messing with it don't have a clue what they are doing. So its no wonder the phone is in the state it is.
Agree with above that RUU is risky. Better to s-off the phone first.

There are detailed instructions available at htcdev for unlocking your bootloader. Once you've done that you need to flash a custom recovery, then you can flash root, then you can get s-off. Check my How-To Guide For Beginners thread, the link is in my signature.

Every device manufaccturer/model has different root methods. If you want to root the phone, you have to put the time in to learn the correct process. There is no shortcut. You won't find a step-by-step guide for the entire process, because of the different carrier version and firmware updates (root method, etc. differs for each). But all the resources you need are sticky at the top of either this Q&A forum section, or General section.
hi i tried to get to unlock the bootloader from the HTCDEV site. first of all the HTC ONE X wasnt on the list so i selected other supported devices
then followed the steps and got the following error
Error Code: 160.
Error Reason: MID Not Allowed.
now what does this mean??
That means you have the original CID still, which means you should be able to run the 3.18 RUU without any problems. Check your CID by issuing this fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid

yes i had issued this command after finding it in one of the websites and this was the result which i got
cid: CWS__001
or cid: c??__001
i forgot the exact two letter after C. i think it was CWS
You have the original at&t CID. That means you can run the 3.18 RUU without having to unlock the bootloader and get s-off first.
