tried that already doesnt work
So is it locked or unlocked , and do you have root. Sounds like one of those two issues....also what ruu did you use and was it upgrade ruu from prevoius. There is many threads on these issues.

You don't need root to install TWRP. For every One X variant except AT&T, the root method is to unlock bootloader, install TWRP, then flash SU or a rooted ROM (and this is also the way to get perm root on 2.20).
Go into bootloader, and verify that it says UNLOCKED.

Try to root with S On & *locked* using the rooting method in my tool.
I believe Busybox & SU is being installed, but the binaries are not present.
You can try and see if it works for you.
I'm trying to get it to work on S On & *locked* devices.

The only error is that the file doesn't exist for S On & *locked* users, although I can't confirm if this because this is true I've only heard about this from a couple of users.
The rest of the tool is bug free.
If you want to install a custom ROM then you will have to do either one of the following:
Use HTC Dev Unlock & Stay S On.
S Off without voiding your warranty. and then continue with this tutorial from step 1
Now, for the second method, you can also use my tool.
And frankly, because you are starting from scratch, the tool will make everything easy. Here's the options that you need to select:
First, S Off.
then Install 4EXT Recovery
then Install Firmware
then download your ROM & Install by selecting install ZIP from recovery.

Yes, once you are HTC Dev unlocked, you can. If you can't install the recovery, new version of the tool in a few minutes, which will make it possible.

I was in your state as well. I was trying to see wait whether Revolutionary.io would produce a newer version for the HBOOT 1.27. But I got tired of waiting and just went on to use other methods. In the beginning, it's a bit confusing. It took me a while to understand everything. But once you follow the steps, everything should become more simple.
A problem that I encounter was install 4EXT Recovery. I couldn't install it at first. I just install Clockwork's Recovery and flashed the ROM I picked. Then I went ahead and downloaded the apk for the 4EXT Recovery and install it from there. It was troublesome in the beginning, but it was well worth it.
My suggestion is that you should do HTC Dev Unlock first. Then S-OFF.

Hello.
Surfed the forum for an entire week regarding rooting and unlocking the bootloader.
Its HTC One X, 4.0.3 ICS, on AT&T
Managed to root it using OneXRootOneClick method (onexroot.com)
Tried to backup through the fastboot method before flashing the ROM... and when I went to the fastboot screen, and clicked on Recovery, instead of giving options of recovering Vs backing up etc., the phone immediately just wiped everything and started clean slate.
Read in detail more, and realized there is no unlockable bootloader from htcdev.com (thanks effing AT&T!!). The only current method is the one posted recently on xda (by using the Hex editor and changing your ROMs code to think it's Rogers').
So now when i restart into fastboot, I see at the top the phone is 1-tampered 2-locked 3- S-ON .. (i restored all software and data and settings, and backed up everything on titanium afterward).
So... Questions
1. Beside achieving root access and SuperSU, what else can i do with a rooted android if I cant unlock it in order to flash it?
2. How do i get ClockWorkMod on so i can backup my ROM onto my SD? And is it doable if I cant unlock my bootloader?
3. What options are there from here? (a rooted but unlocked device without CWM) And do i need superCID , busybox etc?
There are one clicks for root, supervis/unlock, and cwm recovery, I just did it today easy. Linked the tools, was very easy.
Bootloader/supercid tool.

thx for the reply
will it matter with this unlock method what software i got? i noticed people on the replies of the first link that they're 1.85 , im 1.73
secondly... any mac version of the one click unlock ?
I was 1.73 it makes it easy since you need to be rooted.
I don't think there is a Mac version, you could also follow the non one clicks, or just use the commands from the one clicks, just rename the .bat file to .txt open it and copy and paste each command in adb.

The unlock method (either one click, or the hex edit) can only be performed on 1.73 and 1.82, since it requires root. If you RUU to 1.85, you will lose root, and no root method exists on 1.85 unless your bootloader is unlocked, so you are stuck without root. After you get SuperCID, you can update to 1.85, if you like, then install root using CWM.

CWM can only be installed with an unlocked bootloader. If your intent is just to backup the ROM itself, there is no need to. You can always flash the RUU to return to that version (but data wiped). And SuperCID should allow you to revert to older RUU versions, if you want to go back to 1.73. If you want to keep your data and settings, you can use this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671746
Hey Guys,
My phone is stuck on the HTC logo with the little red message about development blah blah blah........... What do I do????
That depends on what you did or what you were trying to do.
You gotta give us more than that. Are you rooted? Unlocked boot loader? Can you reach recovery (hold down bottom volume rocker and power button)? If so, go to recovery, and use the 1.85 RUU found in the development section. Make sure your phone is in recovery.

Ok tried running 1.85 RUU while in Recovery (TWRP) still erroring out. I'm unlocked and rooted. Any ideas??????????????
nonono. dont do the ruu when you are in recovery. instead of going to recovery in bootloader, go to fastboot. then on pc fastboot oem lock and run ruu, this will most likely fix your problem. whether or not you're problem can be fixed with an easier solution i do not know.

Thanks man finally!! Now how would i go about rooting again and flashing a rom since the phone is not rooted and locked again??? Sorry for newb questions iphone user for 6 yrs.... Thanks for all your help!!
do you still have the unlock_code.bin file from when you unlocked it? if not on your computer check your email cuz htc emailed them to you. then boot phone into fastboot and fastboot oem unlock with the unlock code. then look in some of the stickies for how to root 1.85 to get a batch file that flashes cwm for you automatically. once you flash cwm, flash the super user root file to root it. then you're good to go!! however i recommend you immediately install twrp over cwm.

Yeah I don't know why in the age of TWRP people still use CWM. Unless your ROM requires it that is. Swiping vs messing around with the volume button, nuff said

I haven't seen anything specific to 1.94, but you could always unlock your bootloader through HTCDev and flash a custom recovery with ADB and flash the SU binary. I think you may be out of luck if you want a root option that doesn't involve unlocking the bootloader.
ericth18 said:
That's right, there no method to root on 1.94 at this moment. Only way I got my HOX rooted was by unlocking the bootloader using HTCDEV and flashing TWRP recovery and then flashing Cleanrom 4.5 which gave me root access. There might be a few other roms out there that will give you root after you flash them but I've tried a few and Cleanrom 4.5 was the only one that gave me root. It's a great rom so I'm happy with that.

With custom recovery/unlockedBL you just flash or push root right from recovery.
Hi there,
just got a One X and wanted to install a custom Rom. Did bootloader unlock and installed TWRP with Toolkit. As I'm on Windows 8 I couldn't do the root part, if I'm not mistaken this is not needed and the custom ROM will be rooted anyway..? So TWRP installed successfully and I cleaned Cache but it doesn't start when i select recovery in HBOOT it stucks at the green HTC logo.. Is there any advice? Thanks in advance..
Edit: also just noticed that you did not root. You really need to do that before trying to install a ROM. I know you unlocked the boot loader but rooting is still needed to access system files. With out that, it is pointless. Find a Linux or windows 7 mention.
Better yet just run a live USB within Linux. That should work. Ooh, I wonder can you boot using your phone since it can be considered a mass storage device....probably not. Sorry off topic.
My guess is that windows 8 probably isn't reading your phone correctly. But you said you unlocked the boot loader. Try to manually install twrp

If the bootloader is unlocked, there's no need to root. They are independent of each other.
Check md5 on your recovery file and reflash. Then do fastboot erase cache and try going to recovery.

I thought unlocking the BL and root was co-dependant. You can root but can't install ROMs until the BL is unlocked. Or you could unlock boot loader but can't touch system files until you gain root access.
Or did I miss understand? Which is why rooting alone nor unlocking the BL alone is not the only step in installing a ROM.

I will explain further.
For ATT One XL root was needed prior to unlocking the bootloader to allow you to write to system files(which is no longer possible as of 3.18), and be able to change the CID in order to allow HTCDEV to provide the Unlock_code.bin to unlock your bootloader. This is probably where your confusion stems.
IF, like every other carrier, ATT allowed you to unlock the bootloader, you would not need to have rooted to be able to unlock your bootloader, you could have just unlocked it and then flashed TWRP. At that point you could flash a rooted rom or allow TWRP to root your rom for you. (For some rom versions, I believe anything under 3.18)
Hope this cleared some stuff up for you! :good:
Ah makes perfect since now. Darn AT&T and their lock downs.
So basically Rogers and Telstra can root just by unlocking and that's it. No exploit needed. And of course flashing twrp and a rom
