No root after installing a stock rom - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

First of all I am new to all of this, but I recently flashed turge's new sense 5 stock Rom. The Rom is nice but I want to go back to my old cleanrom 6.5. But now it seems my phone is not rooted. I can get into bootloader and it still says 'unlocked' but I can't get my computer to recognize my phone via fastboot usb.

You can just install root, I'm on the same ROM and rooting it was easy. Download Superuser from Play Store, open it, it'll prompt you to update binaries, choose TWRP/CWM method. It'll do the rest for you.

I tried that but superuser gives me a prompt about the binaries and that 'this is a problem'. I did not check the md5, the Rom seems to be working well but eventually I would want to get back on a rooted Rom but like I said in another post, I'm not sure how i lost access to fastboot usb. Thanks for the help.

I'll try this, but how could I regain fastboot usb in order to go back to a rooted Rom.

You probably just need to sort your drivers out.

Can't Root

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?

Goin from cwm to twrp

Do I just install twrp over cwm? I'm not sure how this works.. and I'm having trouble finding twrp.
Any help is appreciated

Not sure wher you are looking, because most everything you will ever need can be easily found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Also, you can install TWRP by getting goomanager from the Play Store.

If you are rooted, go and download goomanager from the play store and use it to flash TWRP. Much quicker and easier than doing it through fastboot.

Slim1991 did just that and it worked, despite having tried to install the Endeavor recovery previously (I'm surprised that it worked). Of course, there is no way you would no that, since he cross posted to another thread:

Which version of super user for root

Hey guys I have successfully rooted my att onex 2.20 via the new root method. I also have install twrp recovery. Now what version of super user do I download from their website so I can flash it to my device? The arm or the x86?
Stop right there. Did you see a superuser.apk for download on this forum? DON'T GO AROUND FLASHING RANDOM CRAP! If it's not in this forum (att one x and one xl) it's not for your phone.
If you're rooted you already have it installed. Check it with an app called root checker.
If it says you're not rooted, flash a custom ROM (that you found in the dev section) and you will be.

Just get it from the play store. Once you're rooted, no need to flash superuser from recovery.

Are you on stock with twrp installed?
I believe it was a temp root, so root is gone after you reboot, but it allowed for a permanent boot loader unlock.
you will need to flash an su binary package and then download a superuser app from the play store.
Or go flash ViperXL or something
If you are on a custom Rom it is rooted

I agree. Just flash a stock rooted rom from the development section of our at&t one x forums. You often get a few other minor tweaks for free too.
It says fail when flashing. What do I do now?
I figured as much. It's a CWM zip.. which is why I said to make a backup. I couldn't find a twrp. I'll keep looking

Success!!!! When I tried to install supersu from the mark though it couldn't update the binaries. So I had to install superuser then run supersu and grant it root permission from superuser so that it could update. Then after it update I uninstalled superuser. I decided to add that just in case someone else finds it usefull.

Which root method to use?

Hi. Forgive me if I am in the wrong section. I want to door my Rogers one x. I went to the Rogers one x compilation and could not find the right one. My firmware is 3.17.631.2. Can I use the root method listed for 3.18? I do not want to mess things up. I previously used Hassoons toolkit to unlock the boot loader. Now when I use it to install tarp, I do not think it recognizes my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Think you.

All you need to do is go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader there, then you can flash TWRP 2.6, and flash a custom ROM, smooth sailing!

I have already unlocked my bootloader previously. It is flashing twrp that I am having problems with.

I had downloaded a twrp zip file and unzipped it as well as an SU file. From there I am unsure how to flash them onto my phone. I did plug my phone into my PC and tried to locate the internal SD but could not. If you could give me any clearer directions, that would be great. Thank you.

I am usually pretty good at following instructions. I just rerooted my N7 following the latest updates. But this one x has me stumped thus far.

Well, I went to Team Win's website and downloaded TWRP and Goo Manager. I now have tampered status and have installed twrp through GooManager but have yet to find it on my device. Sometimes it is a struggle.

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.

Installing TWRP over CWM

This may be a noob question but I've been stuck in Steve Jobs' walled garden for a couple years.
I've got the unofficial CWM recovery right now but I see they released a TWRP recovery now. Can I just use goomanager to install it or do I need to somehow remove CWM first?

Just install it. CWM will be replaced by TWRP.
I haven't heard anyone confirm goomanager working although I don't see why it wouldn't. People have confirmed flashify working. Like robocuff said though, flash right over cwm

I found an article saying use goomanager is all. Will give it a shot, now I can't find the article again.

You can also just get ADB and the prereq's setup on your computer and ADB push TWRP to your device. It's pretty easy. Pushing itself takes about 1 minute (including the time it takes to reboot to the bootloader, push the TWRP image, and reboot afterwards). Getting the ADB files and HTC drivers takes only a little longer (depending on your download speeds).
I grab flashify from then play store downloaded the IMG file from the op AMD flashed it through flashify. Worked perfect
