Sure you can! After unlocking download twrp male sure fastboot driver is in the Same folder than open a cmd in zhis folder And Type: fastboot flash recovery "Name of recovery".img of course you need to be fastboot USB first.

yes actually TWRP is better in some cases than CWM
if you want you can use hasoon2000's toolkit to help you with your root proccess
here are the steps for rooting your device:
1.unlock bootloader through htcdev
2.flash custom recovery image ( fastboot flash recovery "name of image".img)
3.flash the SuperSU ZIP file using the recovery (The SuperSU ZIP is included in the toolkit i mensioned above)
Note:you need the toolkit to get the superSU ZIP file
if you are using the toolkit so click on Perm Root

You can extract the recovery.img file from the zip and use the Android Flasher app. This will only work if you have S-OFF or an unlocked HBOOT.

What to select in flasher options? Recovery? To be more specific, i want to root my phone, can you tell me step by step pls?
I've probably misunderstood this but if you're looking to root then why not just use gingerbreak?

It wont work on my phone (2.3.5), i tried everything, zergrush, super oneclick, gingerbreak, infinite loop and nothing, so, i think the only option for me is to root with zip file, but i dont want to install clockwork mod recovery, and my question is how to instal zip from my sd card with some other tool?
Can i flash this from Android Flasher and how?

That is just an alternative to ClockworkMod recovery. Also I misunderstood your original question about the su-3.0 zip file.
You need to flash that type of zip file using a custom recovery such as CWM or EXT4. The Android Flasher is for flashing image files to a device, not zip files.
As said above, you need s off or unlocked hboot (via htcdev) to flash the recovery.img (out of clockwork mod or 4ext zip file) using android flasher.
Then boot into recovery and install zip from sd card and select the SU zip file, once installed you have superuser and are rooted
I'm only familiar with ClockwordMod. I see on some ROM pages that you don't need to use the boot.img if you have TWRP recovery. What is it and where do I get it? Thanks.
It is team win recovery project . I believe you can be able to get online if you do a search . It is based on aosp recovery and has standard recovery options plus a few of their own options . Hope this helps and answers your questions. Just search team win recovery project and you can download from their site I believe.

What I really like about TWRP is that you could mount the sdcard; something you can't do with CWM.
Also some people reported that if your battery dies on you while on CWM, your phone might not charge at all and you will have a dead phone.

You can either
1- download the recovery.img and use fastboot to flash.
2- Easier just to use Goo Manager, Hit the menu button (or 3 dots) and choose
"Flash OpenRecovery"

CWM for some reason can not write to certain partitions, boot.img is one.
The boot.img is in the ROM and TWRP will flash it.
In case you want to use CWM, just extract the boot.img from the ROM file you download. Put it where fastboot can see it (usually where fastboot.exe is).
Run command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
After that is done boot into recovery and flash ROM

Hey Guys So i was able to successfully unload my bootloader and root my phone via 2.20 root temp method. Now i've run into a wall where I seem to be following the directions, but can't seem to get it to work.
So after my phone was unlocked etc after the whole token thingy... (Sorry this is my first time since 3-4 years ago that i have rooted.. Last phone was a Droid X so excuse my ignorance).... Anyhow so my phone got reset and all and booted back and everything was fine and working.. Now according to the thread in order to flash a ROM of my choice i need to install some sort of Recovery tool. The instructions say to install TWRP-2.3.1.0-evita.img. I have put the .img on the same folder c:android that i have created where i have the adb, fastboot files. I open up a command prompt window and run the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.3.1.0-evita.img and it says "waiting for device" and get's stuck there and nothing happens.
According to the post it is supposed to install it and restart my phone automatically, however nothing happens. I am afraid if i reboot my phone and try again that my temp root will go away and will have to redo-everything all over again. Additionally I have tried the market place method where you download "Goomanager" and install the twrp img via menu>openrecoveryscript and choose to download, however i get an error when attempting to download. Can someone point me in the right direction. And will i lose temp root if i reboot my phone?
"Hey guys i just notice i did not run the "adb fastboot" command to tell my phone to reboot first prioer to trying to flash the twrip image. Sorry"

I just downloaded superuser and busybox. Also i downloaded root checker and when i click on check root it says my phone is NOT PROPERLY ROOTER. Can this be because of how HTC ONE X gets temp rooted and this app doesn't work properly? How can i check for sure if i'm rooted? I mean i can get into TWRP recovery and everything with no issues. Thanks.
I believe that because you did not download superuser before reboot. I think you lost root. Might want to try again.

So after i Ran the run.bat and did the entire cid and then token thingy from HTC site and unlocked my bootloader the phone rebooted on it's own.
I believe i need to install superuser via recovery or flash a rom first then install not sure.. the way the dev wrote this phrase is confusing to me.. Check it out...
10. After unlocking the bootloader, you can flash a custom recovery partition via fastboot, boot into recovery mode, and use a recovery ADB shell or install from an update.zip to install Superuser and su (I do not provide support for custom recoveries, but this is a straightforward process that other people can help with).
I mean every step form 1-9 all went successfully. Can you provide me with some tips ?
Oh OK. I get it. Give a sec I'll post what you need.

Thanks for helping me out, much appreciated. Also look's like i will need to find the superuser file somewhere online. I believe it needs to be inside a .zip. If i need that can you please provide that info on the instructions. Thank you so much for helping me.

So i did not download the CM recovery as i already had the TWRP recovery installed prior to my post. I put the superuser zip file in my CD Card then i adb reboot recovery within command prompt which brought me into the Team Win Recovery Project V2.3.1.0, I then selected install and choose the superuser zip file you linked me to download, however it fails with errors. Do you know what I am doing wrong?
I think this all has to happen before rebooting after the new root process. So CID, then flash recovery, load and flash superuser, then reboot. I'm not sure how others are getting it to stick. I'm rooted on 1.85 with both my HOX's

Im reading line 10 again and i think i need to install a custom rom first via flashboot then boot into recovery to install the superuser zip file. Read this again and tell me what you think?

1. After unlocking the bootloader, you can flash a custom "recovery" = twrp partition via fastboot,
2. boot into recovery mode, and use a recovery ADB shell or install from an update.zip to install Superuser and su
I think I'm spot on with my last post.

What would be the ADB shell command to install lets say a file labelled superuser.zip ?
I've never tried nor know if possible to flash a zip in fastboot. To the best of my knowledge it has to be a image file.

Yes and agree. First you neet to make sure your phone is HTC One XL/Rogers/AT&T One X.(LTE)
Then you can fastboot flash TWRP 2.3.3.1 or 2.6
They have mount option to allow you to access.

It will tell you how to flash.

This process unlocks the bootloader and NOT the network lock. You need to use a unlocking service to do this.
