Hello everybody on my first post in xda, i need your help, it is why i am here, i have a Htc One X of 16GB but with tegra 3, don't have Lte and it say that is from europe in the hardware info (Have HTC logo, don¡t company logo or at&t logo)(yoigo get that one to me, is free sim) and then i don't know if that one is at&t, evita, if is the XL, or simply one x international, i am just now
i was searching for how to root that one (and if possible flash that one) yesterday and today, i have linux installed, ubuntu 13.10, and all what i try to do fail or didn't work. (believe me, i read a long number of post and download a long number of files and try some different methods typing on the console.
I need your help to root my phone, i will accept to unlock bootloader, to edit hex, to flash 20 files, to downgrade my phone, and to burn my face (preffer to don't do it) if neccesary.
How can i do it?
All possible util data from my device:
Resume (Fully updated with the official software)
USB Depuration mode: On.
Android 4.2.2
Sense 5
Software Version 4.18.401.2
Kernel 3.1.10-g7f360be
Compilation number 4.18.401.2 CL231174 (i was touch that 7 times then i am supposed developer)
Hboot 1.72
What is perfect to me?
My final purppose is flash cyanogenmod 10.2.1, if can't do want to simply get root access.
(Other possibility to me is flash that one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2640571
(i am not noob (of all) i was rooted some devices and flash two devices and don't have problem to try the harder method if someone know how to do what i want to do)
THANKS for the helper and sorry if my english isn't perfect!!

i search and read, i found how to root and flash (and i understand and stand all) but don't work for me, i try to unlock bootloader but fail, i have my Unlock_code.bin, but can't charge that one (last step), i get a command not found problem, you are a senior user, just the user that i am searching to help me, probably you know long more that me but i know to RTFM, i first search the solution here (at&t and international one x forum) then on google, then on tons of sites, but yet don't found the solution, unlock the bootloader is supposed to be easy, the problem on that can be that i am using ubuntu 13.10 and not a windows... (it is why i was writing my pc SO)
thanks for you, but need personal help with that.
Please try to help me with an usual problems list, some ideas, some howto or almost redirect me to the correct link where someone have a similar problem that was solver, because, i can't found that.
Thanks other time , but sorry because don't is usefull to me search (i am yet searching) :crying:

Tegra3 is not the EVITA, its the ENDEAVORU.
To verify, you can boot into hboot and you will either see EVITA or ENDEAVORU.
For ENDEAVORU, its pointless to ask here. Any advice we give you would fail and possibly even brick your phone. You need to go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-x

You should have done some research before you installed the update, it patched the last exploit which means there's no way for you to unlock the bootloader or get root. You'll hav to wait and see IF a dev bothers to crack it on this device which is getting old now.

Any idea or suggestion to unlock the hotspot. I just need the hotspot unlocked I don't need to be root or superiser. I just need the hotspot unlocked, I have tried with Foxfi but it just allow to tether by usb. Any idea for this? Thank you
No you can't without unlocking the unlocking the bootloader and rooting. It's a fairly well established (and discussed) fact that official updates patch root exploits, that's why it pays to research before doing something like that.

When its answered on here there is no method to unlock the bootloader, this includes downgrading. If there was a downgrade method, you would have been directed to that. Downgrading is not allowed on Android without root.

By buying a phone from a source other than your carrier, and also asking to mod the phone to work beyond its intended features (even though WiFi hotspot is intended to work on just about any carrier version except AT&T) you put yourself out of the category of "normal phone user" and it also means you have to do the proper research. Not knowing is no excuse.

Hi... more and more of us are getting the S3 version of the One S yet no root is available.
May I request for an initiative to root this version of the One S? Perhaps we can discuss here what is required to root it, for example a copy of the boot.img or something... and how the people who created the root for the S4 One S can help in the S3 too?
I second this motion.
find out how to dump the boot.img from your current build, compare it to that of an s4 version (rooted of course) and see how you get on.
it could be something simple, however you will need the right tools to view the boot.img file.
maybe a linux / ubuntu user can join forces with you
theres no point waiting for someone else to do it, if everyone had that attitude it will never get done

A little upside on the S3 version is it will probably have some cross compatibility with Sensation (XE) that uses the same chip. That may boost efforts for developing custom ROMs for it. E.g. CM team posted a screenshot of Android 4.1 running on a Sensation already.
Do you know how change S-ON to S-OFF? And change the CID
I tried to change the CID by updating the file /dev/block/mmcblk0p4, apparently it works with S4 but I think with S-OFF not S-ON.
Thanks
So now i can easily root my One S C2? to unlock the bootloader I just follow the steps in the sticky thread ''Root, unlock, instal recovery...'?
And last question, can I unroot my phone and lock the bootloader and so get the warrenty back?
Yes, to unlock it you can follow the sticky. To root you go to the modaco.com forum and follow the steps there (thread is something like 'testing: superboot ...') You can Togo
Relock the bootloader but you can't get warranty back because it says 'relocked' instead of 'locked' in the bootloader
My phone got the ota update to 4.0.4 and I now want to root my device and every method doesn't work If anyone sees anything or tried anything that worked for this android version of the one x please let me know I need to root my device asap.. or if there is a way to downgrade and then root. Please please help. thanks
There are so many threads about this its not even funny any more. In short there is nothing you can do at this time and down grading sounds like it may never happen so your stuck until someone figures out a root exploit for the new hboot :fingerscrossed:

Seriously? There's 2 other threads on the first page of Q+A about it and a couple on the first page of general as well. Search before posting. That said, unless you were previously bootloader unlocked, you can't root. No ifs ands or buts.

Hello, all.
I am currently stationed overseas in Japan and on au KDDI service and had purchased the HTL21 HTC J Butterfly.
I unlocked bootloader on my first device using SharpIS method of changing SuperCID (22222222) and getting unlock_code.bin from HTC Dev site on stock firmware phone shipped with (1.15 version I believe). Was rooted and running stock. Phone hard bricked about a week after SuperCID process was done and I wasn't fiddling with anything after I rooted phone, so I don't think it bricked from this.
au kindly traded my hard bricked phone for a brand new replacement (yay!). I was hesitant to root this one due to the last one hard bricking and possibly being detected when sent to HTC for repairs. I saw there was a software update and I... STUPIDLY... updated to the latest firmware thinking it would be easier to root after the update rather than go through the process of flashing stock recovery and flashing then losing root. I've had an HTC device before that I'd unlocked and S-OFF so I know how much of a pain it can be.
Now after 1.29.970.1 OTA, I got the itch to tinker again and I no longer can do temproot method to rewrite SuperCID using goroh kun root tools and SharpIS rewrite method. I type adb shell command and I get $, but when I do dev/sh command it says "device not found" and no # (which I know is root access). This is similar to what Droid DNA (sister device) on Verizon are dealing with on their new updates or ones that shipped with latest firmware.
My question is: Is there some other way to get temproot and another root exploit that would allow me to rewrite the CID to SuperCID (22222222 or whatever number if HTC blocked that one too) so I can unlock bootloader?
fnoji111, SharpIS, and goroh kun have come up with some previous exploits that have been patched in this OTA. I have read some poorly Google-translated tutorials on HTCsoku on how to downgrade where fnoji111 states he had luck downgrading and RUU to previous version but I have had no luck (still get main version lower failure message). I have also searched but have found no other exploits other than the one SharpIS posted in the developer forums which is no longer valid due to 1111111 SuperCID being blocked on HTCDev and now temproot no longer allows access to full administrator write permissions using the rootkit. I am not a developer but I have done this process before with this device and an HTC Evo 3D many times and I can follow a clear instruction. Please help!
For the record I am:
S-ON
Bootloader locked
Software version 1.29.970.1
Hboot version 1.41.0000
Radio 1.01.10.0201 (probably irrelevant)
Thanks in advance for any helpful replies!

While I appreciate the attempt to answer my problem, as I said in my OP I tried the method by SharpIS03 and it no longer works after OTA to 1.29.370.1. I successfully did this method with previous phone at 1.15.370.1. What's been explained is new OTA is new update disabled write permission to system partition meaning no temproot.

Not work with unlock code.... To unlock must be reflashed the radiobaseband... I DON'T kknow-how if with xsim or turbosim it is posibile!
I have no idea if we have some hope to use this phone or of is better to switch directly to anoher one.... taking in account that au introduced already htc one with 13 ultrapixel camera that maybe means less interest for butterfly and less people that gonna work on it...._

If you done the research as you said you know you can root 4.1.1, S-off, and flash custom ROMs......

I am using HTC One X with latest 4.2.2 and Sense 5.0 Now i want to root my phone but do not want unlock the bootloader and do not wish to setup any custom rom. I also dont want my current apps to be removed as well. I just want to phone as rooted so that i can use supersu and its feature.
Is it possible? Can you guys help me with the process!

There is no process for it. You need to unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery, and flash SU.
Technically, its possible. But devs aren't going to spend countless hours looking for a root exploit, when HTC has already provided a means for doing so.
And do you have the EVITA (dual core) or ENDEAVORU (Quad core)? If you have the ENDEAVORU, you are in the wrong forum section. This forum section is specific to the dual core version, known in most places as the One XL.
In order to install superuser you need a custom recovery (TWRP), and in order to install a custom recovery you must have an unlocked bootloader. So unless you're willing to compromise when it comes to those prerequisites you can't have root. More importantly, do you have the One X or the One XL? You're posting in the One XL forum. What are your bootloader details please?
Also, what exactly do you want to get out of rooting your phone?
