Hello everyone I just got my htc one x plus a few days ago. switching from the iphone 5. basically my question is and im sure everyone has seen this, is can i root my AT&T htc one x plus? can i do it with Windows 8? and what is the best way of doing this? thanks again everybody!
Two things
For rooting the one x plus just go to HTC dev. Com and unlock your bootloader flash a recovery than root or a Rom you have to flash boot img BUT you're in the wrong forum this is the regular one x forum

Follow that link to the correct forum good luck!
Before you go all crazy and root and unlock your bootloader, take a second to ask yourself "Do I know what having root does?" "What is a bootloader?" I'm still relatively new so I was in your spot a couple of months ago, but please take the time to read. If you are ready to flash a ROM make sure you got it from AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL forum, because even though the name is the same, the phones run differently, and flashing a wrong ROM, lets just say don't do it. (COUGH). Just be careful.

Time for a smoke and off to bed. Gotta get up early and see if you've uploaded that recovery image lol
What's wrong with your One XL! I loaded the CWM recovery and stuck in the bootloader, however as long as I don't go to recovery my one x works perfectly fine.
Keep me posted on how it goes. If it's possible to get the stock recovery back and I will go for it or have to wait for the development of the recovery for XL

Oh, seriously?
Only thing different that I had done was used Leedroids boot.img flasher in the process. But when my device boots, it sticks at the HTC boot screen. I'll give it another try now.
Once I know the recovery doesn't work and I stopped from there.
But now I see some problems with my one x include I can't open the camera app and also I can't use erase setting on the phone since it will boot to recovery. I understand your pain especially when we unlock the bootloader we void the warranty and there's no way to turn around except for an expensive paperweight.

WTF is wrong with you people? Any ROMs / custome recoveries that are out are for the One X, not the One XL. No wonder you're bricking your phones.

I would have thought that the fact we have two different processors would be enough of a clue not to use Rom's from the X forums.

yes one would, but it's not a perfect world. you must understand though, some people will see that they bought a h1x and in doing so, will go to that forum and start flashing whatever like idiots without reading first. there is not actually a h1xl out yet but we have two different phones out that can't be crossed.
we need to rename the threads to "htc one x t3" and "htc one x s4"

My opinion is that if someone is not smart enough to know the difference between the One X on AT&T and the international One X, they are clearly not smart enough to be flashing their phone.

This is true but you can't really put all the blame on someone who buys a one x, goes to the one x forum, flashes a one x rom, and ends up with a brick...

The blame is on the carriers for branding the XL with LTE as the X. It might be wise to rename this forum 'HTC One X North America' or something similar.

Yes I can. Flashing roms is inherently risky. If you aren't doing all the research, then you deserve to have a brick.
Agreed with you even I flashed the wrong recovery but the name just get confused. I am not as bad as the others since I am still using my One X for now just patiently for the recovery. The name of One XL sounds like a completely different model to me.

and what about those like peterhtc or devs that have both. i doubt they would make the mistake but it must be confusing sometimes to know which rom goes to which phone.
Ah.. cut them some slack lol, hopefully a lesson well learned and hopefully an example for others not to follow suit
Hi guys, I know there are a lot of posts surrounding this topic, I did search but found many outdated methods so I am curious about the most up to date method.
I am using a one X that is one HTC SDK 4.11 build number 1.85 and software 1.85
Being an iphone jailbrake guy Im not sure which one matters most. Also, Im not sure about changing the bootloader as opposed to just rooting. If I change the bootlaoder am i essentialy unocking the carrier of the phone also?
So what is the currently method to rooting the One X, thank you so much, this is a very helpful forum.
Duck
Either the manual method or the 1.85 One Click by Beups and designgears
I'd imagine the STICKIED thread in development would be your best bet. You know, the one that says it's for 1.85.

Ahh sorry, didnt get to that forum yet, thanks! Question though, is the exploit for bootloader still up and running or should I just stick with rooting for now?

Hi guys,
Ok, being new cant post in the devs forum yet so have to post this follow-up here. So I wasn't paying attention and accidentally updated before reading the news about 2.20 here. I know I cant root now however here is my question:
If I exchange One X for replacement tomorrow that is on 1.85 is it still going to work as long as i avoid any OTA updates OR will it require an update during the process like ive read. I think Ive read that it can be interrupted but am not sure.
Thank You

As long as the phone is on 1.85 you can still use the method to gain root and unlock the bootloader.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe we're still out of luck on that. Unless you updated to 2.20 from 1.85 with superCID. Thats the only work around to my knowledge.
Doesnt HTC have to let us root within 90-120 days from release?
---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------
Ahulab- yes you are correct there or if you were previously unlocked(supercid hand in hand obviously) you could unlock using your original token instead of having to regenerate another

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.

Firmware, hboot, what recovery you flashed what Rom you flashed ect..etc...
Chances are you have a paperweight but at least it looks good

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

I doubt he wants AT&T in Israel.
Sent from my HTC One XL
According to this it should work on GSM (voice, SMS, EDGE data) as well as HSPA (3G) data. Based on the link, Israel uses 850 and 1900 MHz for 3G, both bands are compatible with the AT&T One X.
But as area51avenger suggests, verify with your carrier that these are in fact the 3G bands which they use.
As long as the band compatibility is correct, and the phone is SIM unlocked, it will work.

I have a at&t one x I bought last night that is unlocked and I am using on telus. The phone isn't rooted and is running on android 4.0.3 and HTC sence 4.0 When I try to update it nothing happens. My brother has the same phone thro telus and has received updates for jb and HTC sence. I have went to settings about phone at&t updates but when I search it does not do nothing. Can anyone help me out with this? Will I have to root the phone, and if so does anyone got any tips to a easy safe root as I am new to this. If anyone has any ideas for me or could point ne in the right direction that would be great
