Hi Guys I know this is a noob question and must be asked like million times but i did searched around and looked for an answer but no success.
I have non rooted HOXL with 1.85 firmware and want to root and unlock bootloader but cant figure out how as far as i know the hasoon kit is made for 2.20 firmware and other method wont work and I cant update my official firmware because i m not in USA.
If the hasoon kit will work for me then how do i do it should i do anything else before and do i have to run xfactor exploit please help me out
Thanks in Advance

There's a thread for rooting 1.85 specifically. Though, I believe xfactor works with 1.85

My advice to you would be not to root. Htcdev is down, nothing you can do until it comes back up.
You would need to use xfactor because htcdev will not give you an unlock code otherwise.

You could force the update to 2.20 if you wanted. But 1.85 is easier to root, why are 1.85 root exploits "invalid" they worked for many many users before you?
You need root so you can change your cid because htcdev will not give you an unlock token while it is seem as a AT&T phone.

I don't see the big deal. Update to 2.2 use hasoon's then downgrade hboot using Linux. If you cNt get 1.85 root method to work and you can't figure this out maybe root isn't for you

Does anyone know a method of downgrading the HTC One X to 1.85? I looked around hoping for an answer but nothing. Then I thought to myself (after having to download an ruu for my old vivid countless times) that I could just download the 1.85 RUU for the One X and run that. Unfortunatly that had failed. I'm wanting to root my One X but with it being 2.20, root capabilities have been eliminated. So, does anyone have a way of downgrading the phone? Results or not, Thanks.

Patience Luke. If you got to 2.20 before rooting you are effed for the moment, but sooner or later somebody will break it. Of you were already rooted and unlocked with a superCID you should be able to re rkotu

I know this sounds dumb (it did to me too) but you can exchange your phone for a new one so you would then have 1.85. Thats what i did and now i'm happily running sense 4.1.

i just got out of an IRC chat with mike1986 (the creator of the rom you would be running if you have a tegra phone) and he said that nobody has this one xL phone. it's just us guys. the rest of the world got the quad core tegra that is unlocked to begin with. we would have to be lucky that of the few one xL users, one of them has the competency to hack the new OTA.. and i asked beaups if he could do it, and he hasn't found a way yet (he hacked the 1.85)
Hmm...that does sound kind of depressing. I'm kind of wondering if there is still anything we can do if we have unlocked bootloaders but no root. I really want to know more about how exploits are found and how the other hacks were discovered.
If you're bootloader is unlocked then you're ok. You can always push root via recovery.

I'm now flashing the Stock Rooted Odexed version of 2.20 from scottsroms.com. I wonder if I'm the only one who updated that previously had root and an unlocked bootloader and thinks their stuck. Again, thanks Gunny. I didn't know I could still do this!
Did you have to install the boot.img separately?
No. I started with a relocked bootloader. I unlocked the bootloader again with my unlock token, flashed the twrp img using fastboot and then just flashed the odexed stock rooted updated rom. Worked like a charm.
Ok thanks.
They put the system update on me before I left the store and I didn't notice until it was too late. I tried to exchange and they wouldn't do it, not even for a re-stocking fee. Hopefully I can find a store that will be more cooperative.

Can you please explain how to downgrade HOX with a stock RUU?
Many threads on this process but in order to downgrade hboot you need either s off or you need to use jet tool to downgrade. S off is alot easier process and there is a thread with step by step, if your hboot was recently updated ota it can't be downgraded at this time

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.

boot into fastboot and run the command
"fastboot getvar cid"
if says CWS__001, and not 11111111, and you haven't previously unlocked your bootloader before. You may not be able to root.
Did you take an OTA or flash a ROM?
