First off, I'd like to apologize for dublicating my own post The original's here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40123979&posted=1#post40123979
Second, yes, the same question: Has anyone here tried to unlock this phone? the Infobar A02 is basically a modified version of HTC One X, so some one on 2chan suggest that we should follow the same procedure of unlocking AT-T HTC One X for this one. Btw, HTCDev already S-ON/OFF this device.
Thank you for any kind of helping here. I'm anxiously waiting for any solutions, since I like this phone:laugh:
The one x is completely unlockable thru HTCdev. Unless you own the att version because HTC blocks att cids

@wilkin: This is a very interesting phone. I like the UI, honestly, so I'm looking for a way to unlock this.
@area51: I'm not talking about the AT-T version of HTC One X. I'm talking about this one: youtube.com/watch?v=-6O1-y6x-Ko
Like I said, it's a very heavily modified version of the HTC One X, so someone from 2chan (anonymously chatroom for japanese) suggest that after rooting, we should follow the same procedure of unlocking the AT-T's HTC One X to unlock this one.

If it's heavily modified then it's not really similar. Are you talking about hardware or software
Sent from my Nexus 4
I know this is an old thread, but since there's unlock directions now:
This article describes how to SIM-unlock the Infobar after you've achieved S-Off. Pull misc.img and some modem files (follow the commands the site gives you, I'm guessing), use a binary editor to edit misc.img so that (address?) 00001020 reads 02, then push it back into the phone. Poof, unlocked. If the Chinese sites are any indication, this unlock applies to the CDMA side as well, if you're planning to use it on a CDMA carrier that does SIMs.

I am about to buy a HTC Sensation. However, my provider (Swisscom, Switzerland) offers it only with Branding. Is there a way I can flash such a branded device with the original ROM from HTC? Is it available anywhere? Will I have problems because of the signed bootloader? Thanks in advandace for any help!
Currently, the goldcard method doesn't seem to be working. That's the only way to flash an official ROM without having an unlocked bootloader.
So, currently, sadly no way to do it. Hopefully when HTC release an unlocked bootloader for it, we will see changes.

Do you know whether HTC is planning to do so at all? I heard they wanted to make future bootloaders unsigned, but will the Sensation get an "Update" or something like that to have it unsigned?
I asked HTC about how and when the bootloader will be unlocked and they just tweeted me back saying "Good question. More specific details will be shared soon."
So yeah... :/

Hello,
Got a HTC Sensation from Swisscom and I'm wondering the same, any news on this?
I tried an update found on the forum: version 1.35.401.1, tried to install and said 'wrong client id'... Didn't update.
Just sent a request to HTC customer support to know if I'll get the OTA... But I don't expect much from this.
If I can't unlock and root this phone I'm gonna get rid of it and will never get a HTC again, that's one sure thing. Already regret having bought it, should have waited for it to be unlocked first!

You'll have to wait for HTC to unlock the bootloader (or for AlphaRev to do that before HTC). Expect HTC do provide the full unlock in September.
PS. I bought it unbranded meanwhile.
hi guys,
I recently bought an AT&T One X w/ 2.20 firmware.
just wanted to know if I can flash any ROMs on the 2.20 firmware ? I'm a little confused between what is possible and what is not.
If I can flash ROMs, then I possibly dont want to root/unlock. If not, Can I unlock the 2.20 firmware using HTC-Dev (warranty voided) ? I cant seem to find One X in the dropdown at http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
Could somebody help ?

Nope. You can enjoy the phone as stock and that's all. No root, no custom roms

Simple, you can't do jack if your phone was shipped with 2.20.
Since AT&T is not allowing the bootloader to be unlocked by HTCDev.com. The workaround was to change the CID to SuperCID and fool the system, but root is needed to do that.
So you are out of luck until either a root is found for 2.20, or AT&T allows the bootloader to be unlocked. Or if S-Off is achieved.
OK. I got confused because there were all these articles that talked about unlocking the bootloader using HTCDev.
Nothing i didnt expect - any ideas on when HTC will allow bootloader unlock? Im assuming that the launch of One X+ makes this old enough to be let free
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
Hard to say, its all about what AT&T wants. All other carriers are bootloader unlockable out of the box. Its not based on any set policy, and AT&T has not made any announcement on when (if ever) they will allow it to be unlocked. They did a similar thing with the HTC Vivid. But allowed it to be unlocked about 3 months after the phone was released. That time period has long come and gone (One X was released in early May).
Well, I got a AT&T HTC ONE X( it's xl actually ).:victory:
I need to ROOT that.It said that if I want to root that.I need to unlock that first. So I try to unlock the phone by HTCDEV.
One click root not work.
One click unlock not work.
Then there came a error with a error code 160. MID ERROR.
Well,then I read some materials and know that unlocking the phone need to root first...
Okay, now I have been totally confused with that.......
Anyone can tell me how to deal with that?
Oh, my version is 2.20.502.7 710RD.
It said that it is a root-available version?
Please help me , I am not so familiar with them.

If you really searched you would simply have to type HTC one x 2.20 root and find that it is unrootable yet
Hi lucentworld
You don't need root to get a custom rom onto your phone. Once you follow the HTCDEV instructions, then you can unlock the bootloader.
Once the bootloader is unlocked, the phone is unlocked to be able to put whatever custom recovery on it you want
Once you have a custom recovery installed then you can put whatever custom ROM on it you wish.
Just because 2.20 is unrootable, this means you cant get root on the standard ROM. But once the bootloader is unlocked, that ROM goes in the bin anyways.
The HTCDEV way DEFINITELY works. I did it on my sisters One XL telstra without rooting first, she was on the latest unrootable ROM.
Good luck

Thanks for your insult. Hope you get banned for your rudeness.
I did not know ATT blocked unlocking. Here in Australia, we don't have such anal carriers. I was able to unlock my sisters One XL by the HTCDEV way. I was simply mentioning the way that I achieved unlocking. Nice overreaction.
Damn, after reading the guides myself. It looks like you are pretty screwed if you have the ATT One X on that version. I was a bit thrown by the mention of One XL. Here in Aus, we have the One X (international tegra quad core) and the One XL (qualcomm dual core). Its a little less confusing, One X = quad core One XL = dual core. It seems in the states, you have ATT One X = dual core, Rodgers One XL, and International One X

Sorry I had to wake up to do hw and pretty tired...so both versions are in Australia? Why didn't you go with the tegra.?
seuppt hollow
LOL, no probs dude,
The Telstra ver. has LTE
And 3G coverage that covers most of the country
Vodafone, Optus and virgin are left with the One X (tegra)
I am happy with the performance and battery life of the One XL, the missus has a Tegra One X, and I really cant tell the difference. Both were just as hard to Root/Unlock
Good Luck OP :good:
So the only thing I can do is to wait for a method to root the 2.20?
Damn AT&T...00

Just bought a HTC One X from At&t (I know, should've waited for the X+, but I can't go without a phone for a month). I'm new to Android from having an iPhone 4 for the longest time and I'd love to root my device. I've done lots of reading and I can't seem to find a clear answer as to if I can root my device. I've been to htcdev and I can't get the official unlock to work. I've found mixed results by searching where some people successfully unlocked their phones, others said it was impossible, and others said that they had just done the htcdev unlock incorrectly.
Android version: 4.0.4
Software number: 2.20

Sorry to be the one to tell you but at this point in time root for 2.20 is impossible until we figure out a to exploit to achieve root. Hope I didn't ruin your day. Hopefully we start getting intelligent ideal and get root to unlock bootloader.

If you had done some reading you would have found the answer very easily. Yet another 2.20 thread.
Hey guys and gals! My att one x is on the way. I trying to find out as much as i can, before it arrives, for development and custom rom usage on the new device.
I have been out of the forums since i sold my att note.
I know this is alot to ask for some, but...
Can someone please lead me in the right direction for rooting, recovery (cwm if possible), and rom.
My goal is to use a net 10 sim and unlimited plan with this device. This might/would require a carrier unlock code? I can get the code if i need it but id really just appreciate someone summing up these basic questions with basic links or knowledge of the processes. I feel my contributions to our xda forums warrant these inquiries.
Im sorry that i cannot take the time to read the entire att one x forum and subs. Im literally in constant overtime at work. If someone here has the knowledge and guidance, I would appreciate every bit of help.
Summary : Information needed for...
Root
Recovery
Rom
Misc. Information i need to know, including cross-platform rom compatibility (i. e. One X and att One X)
I want to thank you guys in advance because I know at the heart of XDA lies a caring and gifted community of talented people who feel good helping others.
I promise to run with the information and do as much research and reading as possible when time permits. I have done so with all of my devices and being a creature of habit, well...
Thanks again and please dont expect an immediate response of gratitude, personalized to individual replies, until this weekend when i can get back on here and start the one x root process.
Check out this thread, it's got links to pretty much everything you'll need:

What he said. Also i suggest twrp over CWM. It is touch based, plus it works with plenty of roms. You do want to make sure you are on a version where your phone can be rooted.

Is this an AT&T phone, as I suspect from your post? If so, I hope you can still return it.
There is no root method for AT&T One XL phones on 3.18, and there may not be one for months if ever.

This is very true. If the device is from AT&T and has the 3.18 Jellybean firmware, its can't be rooted. Although its possible there is some old stock at some stores with older firmwares. Anything but 3.18 can be rooted. I think someone posted on here just a couple weeks ago about getting a new phone from an AT&T store that had 1.73 (the version from when the phone was released!).
OP should check the firmware version in Settings, and go from there.
