I am running android version 4.0.3, HTC sense version 4.0, software number 1.73.502.1, HTC SDK API level 4.11
I've been attempting to flash TWRP using Hasoon200's HTC one X all-in-one kit but could never figure it out. I get stuck at the unlock bootloader step (step 6).
I am now attempting to reset my factory data by going to storage and clicking on factory data reset. The phone will reboot as normally but then will load into the Fastboot USB/Bootloader screen (the one that says *** TAMPERED *** *** LOCKED *** etc)
This is where I am running into trouble. How do I reset my factory data from here?
Save your data then flash ruu to return to stock , you will find root methods and ruu in this link, its a good link to save as it has a lot of hoxl toys

You're using the wrong root method. You're on 1.73 and trying to root with a 2.20 one-click.

All phones sold at release were 1.73, and were so for maybe a couple months before 1.85 deployed. And there can always be old stock laying around. Pretty sure someone posted on here that they bought one (new, in-store) recently that came with 1.73.

If you haven't rooted your 1.73 and protected it with RootKeeper you better do it now without delay of you will lose root forever (or till someone roots 1.85)

I just purchased my HOX yesterday and yes they now come with the 1.85 software preinstalled. So there is a great chance that your replacement will have the latest software or if you allow them to power it on they will immediate accept the update before they even hand you the phone. Maybe you can switch your own sim and tell them you want to set it up yourself and it may not have the update yet.
The same thing happened with the Evo when it first came out though. I had light leak and random resets and got a replacement that had the new Gingerbread update and no root method. Within a week they had found a way to downgrade to Froyo to attain root again so don't sweat it too much. Go get a good device!

I think the problem for us with replacements is that all the developers who are working on this phone already have theirs rooted and unlocked. There's no incentive or reason to find a way to root 1.85. I read somewhere that there is another update coming too.

There is a incentive. We donate money to them for their work for delivering good roms????? If there is no root, and more people are getting htc one x's, then there is basically no point to develop for the one x???? No profit lol

four: relock with adb command
five: run the 1.85 update?
six: unlock bootloader again?
seven: root
eight: install CWM?

These are the steps for the AT&T 1.73.
1) Root
2) Install RootKeeper (not needed...but 'eh can't hurt)
3) SuperCID
4) Titanium Backup - Optional if you want to save apps and app data
5) Upgrade to 1.85 via RUU - this will wipe everything except sd card
6) Unlock bootloader via HTCDev.com
7) Install Recovery
8) Root via Recovery

I'm on 1.82 and I'm rooted, with SuperCID but I haven't unlocked yet because I'm hoping that we'll get S-OFF and I won't have to notify HTC of my "modding" activities. So, as long as I have SuperCID, I'll have the option of unlocking the downloader after the OTA upgrade, right? Assuming Rootkeeper failed or whatever...
Thanks!

I agree. Peter's guide is excellent. I did everything using Peter's guide following the Manual methods for everything (rather than One-Click methods). You learn more this way, less chance for errors. One-Click requires everthing to be perfect before running, and if things don't work you have no clue why nor how to troubleshoot.

A friend of mine asked if I could help him fix his phone. He is a noob and so am I but I have rooted several phones and flashed many ROMS on all sorts of phones with no issues. So I would a least say I am pretty tech savvy. Here is the dilemma- If I hold volume down and power I get a white screen with some options such as hboot, fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock & image crc. It also says S-On....which I believe is the problem. He says that he though he downgraded to 2.2 before rooting but couldn't be sure but says he was originally on 2.3.4. I can boot into recovery CWM, mount usb/SD and load roms but no matter what ROM I load it will never get passed the HTC screen. Can someone tell me or at least point me in the right direction as to how I can achieve S-Off? Also I must note that he made no backups prior to his rooting attempt (Ughhhh!). Is there an easy way to get S-Off when the phone seems to be unlocked, rooted & CMW installed? Thanks a bunch my fellow XDA Einsteins.
I didn't think you can have a recovery without s-off for the shift... You could run an RUU and use one of the root guides we have if someone with more experience can't cone up with an idea. Of he did downgrade to 2.2 he should of used the shiftrr.exe to root

No worries, no need. Not offended.
Sounds like something got screwed up during the RUU process of downgrading. I've run into a similar issue when running the ROM Update Utility and it put me back to s-on but It kept my custom recovery. Same thing, no matter what I flashed I couldn't get it to boot. Your best bet is probably going to be run the the RUU. It will depend on which version of bootloader is on the device to which RUU will work. I can't remember the specific number but I believe the 2.2 bootloader is something like 93xxx something or another. If that's the case then you should be able to run the old RUU, putting your back on 2.2 and continue rooting. If your bootloader version is higher (98xxx or something) you'll have to run the newest RUU in order for it to work.
I may be completely wrong here but when all else fails... RUU!

Yes, you know when I water damaged my phone I (stupidly) was trying to RUU it while trying to fix it and the RUU failed and I got to a point where RUU was telling me that a newer version is installed.
Well the way I fixed it was by running RUU 2.3.4. All worked good after that.
Please refer to my post about how to flash misc.img in recovery since you can't get past the htc screen and this will allow you to get downgraded. If I can the post it's around here somewhere and I'll post a link to it.

I found the post it's on Vicodan's thread
The update to 4.0.4 for the ATT HTC One X has arrived! Unfortunately, everytime I update, everything looks good until it restarts to begin the installation of the update procedure. It gets about a 3rd done before it stops, then shows a red triangle for about a minute and restarts back. Saying that the "update was unsuccessful". What am I doing wrong? I am rooted on 1.85. The bootloader is "relocked". Any suggestions would be great.

which ruu are u trying to flash...
there isnt a ruu for 2.20 yet...
the patched ruu isnt an ruu....
the signature on it is not correct
the only way u can flash is with s-off
you can get 2.20
by ruu 1.85 then dl and copy the ota .zip someone else extracted put on sdcard
and flash it with stock recovery.

Thanks, but I found out the stock recovery in my recently relocked phone was gone. I flashed the RUU the way I was supposed to (1.85) and It turns out, the bootloader became "tampered" again. I have no idea how that happened. But it's all good now. Currently finishing up installing all my apps the old fashioned way since I lost root (eh, didn't need it anyway)
See my posts in the PSA thread in General. I'm rooted on 1.85 but never unlocked. My update failed exactly the same way as yours. Still no luck.

If you deleted any system apps then the OTA will fail. You'll need to reinstall them or RUU back to stock before you try to update.

It is a root issue, rooting my phone changed the filmware version to include "R2" at the end. Not a big thing, but enough to completely f*ck up my phone when it was time to update. No more rooting for me til I gain the courage again... And root is found for 4.0.4.

Hey everyone,
I'm kind of a noob when it comes to development for the HOX and HTC in general; I previously had a Galaxy S II and it was incredibly easy to root and flash custom roms. I just had a couple of questions regarding rooting for the HOX:
1. I'm currently on 1.85, and I know that means I can still root. However, the 2.20 update hasn't even popped up on my phone. Also, whenever I check for updates, it just returns to the previous screen, like there's no update available. Does this mean I can still root using the 1.85 one click exploit?
2. How "safe" is rooting/unlocking the bootloader on the HOX? I know unlocking the bootloader is not officially supported on the AT&T version, and that you have to get SuperCID in order to unlock it. With all this modification, is it pretty safe to root and unlock the HOX? I really don't have the money to spend on another phone if I somehow brick it lol.
Thanks!

Use the manual root method, seems to work better for most, myself included.
Ya what he said. I tried to root my phone 4x using that method it did not work. Finally used another method I found on the web. Try this one. Www.onexroot.com. there you will find the tutorial of how to. Not the one click root method. But the other. Also tells u how to unlock bootloader. I had to open 2 windows for this.

Thanks everyone, I'll use the suggested manual root, already saw some bad stories of people flashing international roms. I've got the att forum bookmarked so I won't accidentally flash an international rom.
I saw people talking about safely upgrading to 2.20 firmware to keep root, is there any reason to go to 2.20 if I plan on flashing cm10 or AOKP or is that just if I want the latest stock ROM with root?
