Quick question for you guys. My HOX is currently running 4.0.4. I have yet to root it. I received notification that the JB update is available on my phone today. If I was to go ahead and update what are the chances I'll be able to root in the future? Would you recommend rooting now, unlocking the bootloader, and flashing this beastie now with another rom?
Thanks for the advice.
To be safe I would root and achieve s off before doing the ota.
I am not 100% certain that the current exploits to achieve root will work once you take the plunge and do the ota.

Absolutely.
Yes, definitely root and S-off first. I was shaking my head in disbelief where a couple of people in the x-factor exploit thread were lamenting the fact that they cannot now root after taking the OTA. What?? You had all this time to root while AT&T was taking its sweet time releasing JB, but instead you wait, take the OTA, and now you decide you'd like to root?

I appreciate you guys addressing my question. "Thanks" has been awarded to all. Can anyone tell me what is the best way to S-Off?

Thanks dude. I saw that but since it didn't specifically mention the AT&T One X I was hesitant to mess with it.

Bam! The beastly One X has been rooted and I've installed the latest Vipor XL Rom. So.... would you folks recommend I go ahead and S-Off? Is this truly necessary?
Thanks again :laugh:
Makes life easier not having to flash boot.img, you can run older ruus, and you wont brick if you take the ota.

Yes. It will make your life much easier in the long run.
One example: Folks who were SuperCID and s-on, who took the recent JB ota, are now bricked because of the CID check. S-off turns all security checks off.

I'm just wondering as to the status of gaining root access on the AT&T 2.20 update. I just bought my HOX via a third party, and it came with 2.20, so right now I'm SOL.
I know ETA's don't typically exist, but will creating a bounty help move this along?

Hopefully someone finds an exploit because I want to install a custom rom so badly!
:crying:
There's nothing to report. My gut feeling is we will need to be granted sanctioned bootloader unlock to get root again.

sorry I'm not so good with rooting. Does that mean that we need htc to let us unlock our bootloader so we can install a rooted android os?

Yes or someone needs to find a new exploit for the new 2.20 to allow root.

Yes. At the very least we need unlocked bootloader in order to install a custom recovery so we can install root.
I found this just a moment ago. I have no clue if these would work though.

Lol that rom is from one of our devs it's his website the rom is in the dev section its a rooted version of the update without the hboot. It does no good to anyone who took the ota that was locked and had no root prior to doing so.

If you have a retail outlet around you (i.e. Best Buy, etc.), you can do what I did. Return the new phone and buy one from old shelf stock. If they received it before August then it's guaranteed to have firmware of 1.85 or older.
This is really bad!

I got onef rom work and it has 2.20....so I guess no root or custom ROMS until someone figures it out.
But someone will definitely figure it out yeah ?

Or if AT&T ever lets the bootloader get unlocked.
Are there many devices that remain un*rootable for the duration of their usable life?
Thanks all.
Went to swappa and found a mint white HOX running 1.85 and bootloader unlocked with TWCP. Now at least I know I'll get a good usable phone

I appreciate all the help. Another question. Since I'm on 1.09 would that be the reason its not changing my CID to 11111111.
Your not special just more phones with 2.20 were shipped out recently...but that comes with hboot 1.14 .... Which you have to flash boot IMG seperately...what's your softwares number ....if it's 1.73 there's menu one clicks you can use if it'd 1.85 jusys search for it its very easy to find... Idk if 1.85 works with the 2.20 exploits absolutely grim would know a lot more than me

That shouldn't be a problem as far as I know. As yes, having HBOOT 1.09 means you don't need to extract the boot.img and flash it separately.

Hey, I using AT&T Htc One X , 1.85 build firmware, android version 4.0.3, h-boot is 1.09. I am not able to root my phone using the above method. The CID wont change and it shows an error. Is there any way to fix it?
You're using the wrong root method. There is one specific to 1.85. The link is in the resource roll up at the top of the development forum.

If you were s-off or at least unlocked beforehand, yes. If you were never rooted, no, unless you can get the X-factor exploit to work for you.

Neither one. Had to do an exchange of my old hox due to an issue that arose after root.
X-Factor??
Is that a root method?
Used a couple of Hansoon's last time to achieve root.
Haven't found a "one click" method for the AT&T Evita yet.

As you're with Telstra you will be able to unlock the bootloader on your device through htcdev then install the custom recovery then flash a rom with root as there is currently no root exploit for Jellybean.
As suggested above though do your homework first.
