[Q] Root HTC One X 1.85 - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I have tried everything to root my HOX on AT&T. I have tried everything in the past year...
The error I keep getting is that permission (to several folders) is denied when it tries to root. I have tried changing the date many times, disabling fastboot, etc. I'm running 1.85 firmware, Android 4.0.3. Help!

Which root method are you using exactly? Post a link.
PS. Questions go in the q&a section, for future reference.

Sorry, Didn't mean "obviously."

This is the correct root method for your current firmware:

Never heard of that website. Don't do mods from random websites. They are usually not well organized (which can brick you), and often just steal content from XDA.
Everything you need for this device is on my Index thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237

The key is not the try "everything" but to look in the right place, and use the right method.

Thanks guys. I will try again tomorrow.

One x root and windows 8?

So i'm trying to root the one x and all of the driver links do not work probably because i'm on windows 8. I tried to use other's drivers by manually installing them in device manager however it still gets stuck at the starting daemon phase. The only time it got past the starting daemon it spammed no permission and file already exists. Anyone like to help me? If you just want to call me a noob do that but help is appreciated.
I changed computers to a mac, just to switch it up a bit, used the method at onexroot.com since it's the only method i can find for mac and i get this

[Q] Help!!!

Hi, tried to install a new rom on my HTC One X ATT without success..
Specs : HTC ONE X Evita PVT Ship S-On RL
Hboot- 1.140002
Current status : ******TAMPERED******
******UNLOCKED******
I currently have TWRP 2.2.0 but I am unable to install any rom, also I have by mistake formatted my drive so my phone doesn't have any operating system atm. I changed the SCid to 1111111 but can't get from S-On to S-Off. I tried using a method on this forum and I keep getting
C:\.................>adb push soffbin3 /data/local/tmp/
error: device not found
Same for the next 3 lines, I am guessing maybe because those folders don't exist anymore on my drive....
Would really appreciate any help on what step to take next to have it back n working... The latest of Pac Man Rom was what I tried to install....
Sam
You couldn't install any aosp ROMs because you don't have the correct firmware, you would need to upgrade via the 3.18 RUU to update your phone to the 2.14 firmware. First thing you need to do is use the mount menu in TWRP and copy a Sense 4+ Android 4.1 ROM to the phone from your PC. Once you've installed a Sense 4+ ROM just use the Rumrunner method to get s-off, you'll find it here. Once you have s-off you can run the 3.18 RUU, then you can flash TWRP again, then you can install current aosp ROMs.

Thanks will do right away but got 1 more question, sorry I am new at this, but you said "Sense 4+ Android 4.1 ROM to the phone from your PC"
Is there a specific version I should install or could you give me a name of one I could look up to download and install ? I just read that some I can't install because my Hboot is only 1.14.... Is there a website I can go to download a sense 4+ rom ?
You don't ever need to go anywhere except XDA for information and software for your phone. Specifically you need to stay within this forum you're posting in now. Here's the main page for our device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-x-att
And here's our two development sections:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-x-att/development (Sense ROMs)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-x-att/orig-development (aosp ROMs)
You'll find what you need there, any Sense 4 ROM will be fine.

Of course it deleted TWRP, it returns your phone to a stock state. I did mention you'd have to flash TWRP again after the RUU.

I'm not sure why you're doing that again, that process doesn't root your phone, it gives you SuperCID which you already have. There's no point in trying that again. No your phone isn't rooted, in order for it to be rooted you need TWRP installed first so you can install root or a rooted ROM. You just need to work out why fastboot isn't working and you'll be good to go.
This may seem like a stupid question but I have to ask it, is the phone in fastboot mode when you're trying the fastboot commands? If it is and you're still having problems, try uninstalling your drivers, then download HTC Sync Manager from HTC.com, once that's installed connect your phone while booted into Android and it'll make sure the right drivers are installed.
