I've been using the guide for preparing my One X for ROMs, but I can't get the root tool to root my phone. When I launch the promt, it shows a list of a few items and it says failure across them all and says permission denied.
What can I do to get my phone to root?

I havent updated that guide in a while. Heres what I suggest you do:
1. Update to the latest official software (1.85) if you arent already on it, assuming you are on AT&T
2. Root using this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709424
3. Unlock the bootloader using this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734558
5. Flash TWRP using this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777773
6. Install whatever custom ROMs you want
Thanks for being so fast! I'll give it a try tonight and let you know how it goes!

This tool is still coded to install ClockworkMod Recovery so in order to use it you will need to right click the install.bat and click edit. Change line 7 to: fastboot.exe flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-evita.img
Or after you unlock your bootloader, download GooManager from the market and after you open the app press menu and hit Install OpenRecoveryScript and it will install TWRP for you.
I am so confused by the thread in your third post on unlocking the bootloader. I can't figure out how to do it. Where do I get the Unlock_Code.bin file without going to HTCDEV.com?
As above, is there any good tips or useful tips that I should know before rooting and unlocking this device? I mean things such as not doing a factory reset in the bootloader as that can cause a brick
Thanks

i also want to know that
EDIT:
Is a good idea make a sticky thread where we can see what we should't do....to prevent brick the device while nvflash isn't available on jb bootloaders
Is there anything that can't be done in TWRP that can be done in CWM?
cwm can't do any backup in my device (search in this forum)

From my recent experience with unlocking my Tf300T:
1. Read all directions slowly and multiple times.
2. Only method to flash TWRP was putting recovery.blob in C:\android\platform-tools no other method would work. All i would get was soft
brick. You don't need all the one step tools, videos. etc. While these might be helpful to some, once I put blob in correct folder and pushed via ADB it was simple.
3. Once you unlock you can not go back and you loose your warranty.
4. Root has to come in your ROM. Currently there is not root method for us.
Good luck and have fun. May I suggest Energy Rom. I love it.
+1 for TWRP.
CWM wouldn't work properly on my tab. It wouldn't flash zips or make backups properly. I'm not putting CWM down by any means because I use it on my phone and it works flawlessly. It just didn't work the way it should for me on my TF300T.
Thanks for the help but I thought you had to put TWRP.blob in the root of the SD card?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
No you don't put it on SD card. It needs to go in the sdk platform tools folder on your c drive

You must.....
Unlock the bootloader
Reboot into the bootloader - power plus vol down
In the bootloader select the USB icon while having your tablet connected to a PC that can do adb
Flash twrp using fastboot per instructions on the twrp site.
You now have recovery for flashing other zip files, like the superuser zip to get root.

As long as you put the blob in the right folder and flash it correctly it should take you less than 5 min to get recovery. Then toy just have to wait until your first ROM is downloaded to flash it. Just follow directions on Twrp site. Quicker way to get cmd line in sdk-platform tools is, while in that file, right click on empty white space and hold ctrl. Will open adb in correct directory and make it stupid simple.

I found this:
You will need fastboot for this method. Download the above file, check the md5, rename to twrp.blob and put the file in the same directory as your fastboot.exe (unless you have /platform-tools in PATH then you can flash from anywhere). Turn off your device and boot to fastboot (power on while holding volume down, then select the usb icon and hit volume up to confirm). The device will now be in fastboot mode. Plug the device into your computer. Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
Which does help but I'm not sure where on my PC I have to enter the command line?

open the terminal and go to fastboot file using cd command (windows)...exemple cd:\fastboot
when you are in that place run
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
So do I just need to type those two commands on terminal? Is there anything else I need to download besides the TWRP file? I appreciate the help, thanks.

Root not required to update factory images, but device must be unlocked (see step 9)
Install Android SDK Tools
When SDK Manager runs, select Android SDK Platform Tools and Google USB Driver, see attached pic
If missed, run SDK Manager again as Administrator
Download Google Factory Images for your device (eg. sojua for i9020a) and JB4.1.2
Extract (7-zip or whatever) the tar file (.tgz) into C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder
Open Windows Prompt, change directory to platform-tools folder
Put your Nexus S in Bootloader (fastboot) mode. (Power off, press power-on while holding Vol-Up)
Test fastboot connectivity, should show your nexus device
Code:
fastboot devices
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked. This will wipe all data. So backup first.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Run flash-all.bat. This will flash bootloader, radio(baseband) and system rom. You can execute the commands within manually if desired.
To root, I like the manual way.
Download Clockworkmod Recovery and save into platform-tools folder
Download Superuser and copy into SD/USB of your Nexus S.
Boot into fastboot and flash Clockworkmod Recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img
Select RECOVERY in fastboot menu and boot into clockworkmod recovery.
Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard, select the Superuser-3.2-arm-signed.zip that you copied in step 2.
Reboot and you are rooted.
Hello all. I just unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone, or so I thought. Somehow, I did not completely root my phone. Busybox installer would not load. I ran root checker and it said my root was not complete. My questio is, if I were to do a factory reset, would my bootloader relock? Thanks

No it wouldn't. Does it say unlocked in purple? Can't remember the specific exploit directions. But you can flash twrp using "fastboot flash recovery twrp.IMG" (obviously change twrp.img to the name or hit tab) and flash a rooted ROM. Haven't done any of the exploits up here, but of you clicked on rooted in my SIG, its a great site you out. Skip to the part after unlocking the bootoader.

Yes. When I have it in bootloader mode, it had changed from locked to unlocked. Thanks for your help.
Did you install custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and flash SuperSU or SU, or flash a rooted ROM. Because you need to do that to actually have root (after unlocking the bootloader).

Also, I believe the only thing that will relock the bootloader, is you relocking it yourself.

I am fairly certain that is correct. An RUU won't run with a bootloader unlocked unless you are S-OFF and still would not relock. nothing else would touch the bootloader.
I followed the instructions and slashed the recovery, twrp I think it was and I got stumped after there. I am relatively new to rooting. I unlocked both my N7 and N4 a week ago with Wugfresh's toolkit and that was relatively simple for and old guy like me. I will most likely have to go to his website and get complete instructions and try it again.

well i can help you, i recommend going with twrp and flashing a SU zip file. this post is reserved, and will be back to edit...
Edit; Ok, so in this post is two files you need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1907931&d=1366808637
and http://download.chainfire.eu/310/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip
Download both of these files.
Put UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip on the root on your SD card (basically transfer the zip to your phone)
I downloaded the 2.3.3 twrp img file, since that is the most stable for me. If you want to upgrade to 2.5, then be my guess, but others say it is a problem. i have flashed sense roms and aosp roms with no problems. also, pleae read both paragraphs before attempting to do something. if you do not understand, feel free to comment or pm me. i tried to make it as simple as possible.
So first off download the zip, and extract the folder to a simple location (desktop or c:\). i am going to assume you extracted it to c:\. open up a command prompt by going to Start and typing in "cmd" a black window should pop up. type in "cd c:\rootphone." you are already rooted, but it was already the name of my folder. anywho, turn your phone completely off, and go into the bootloader. i assume you know how to do this, since you were able to read off your hboot details. it is the white screen with colorful text. then select fastboot in red. once a usb connection is plugged in, it should turn to fastboot usb. now in the command prompt (black window on the pc), you need to type fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-evita.img (hint: you can type open and hit tab, and it will finish it for you). now you have twrp installed. now boot into recovery, and go tap on Install. find the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip, tap it, and then slide to flash. your if successful, your phone should be rooted. go ahead hit reboot, and re-run root checker.
To anyone else (i.e. Venomtester or exad) if i have incorrect info, please let me know
Looks good to me lol. But a more simple method to open the command window is to download adb to desktop. Then all they have to do is open the folder and right-click somewhere away from the files and it will give the option to open command window here. That way they can put the images in the folder and never have to leave it. They tend to mess up hunting the folder down from windows cmd.

Thanks again guys. I have tried several times since last night to get my phone into bootloader mode. I power it off and the push volume down and power and keep holding both. It starts up and the capacitive buttons flash as I get the quietly brilliant screen and the it just goes black with no flashing. I don't know why it will not go any further. I also get an error report every time. Any guggestions? I have tried to use the commands on the tool kit to get it into bootloader mode but no success.

I know you were able to install TWRP using Goo Manager. But the proper way to install using your PC, would be using fastboot, with the command:
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
Where "filename" is the actual name of the recovery .img file.
Another thing to note, you don't need to unzip the recovery zip file.
