The weaksauce method should work on both of them. It took me a couple of tries to get mine to work, but what I did was install weaksauce, install SU, don't open SU, reboot phone and wait for it to say "root granted" at the bottom of the screen (it can take a minute or two), then do whatever you wanted to do with root. Don't open SU, it will ask you for permission regardless as soon as you try to open a root-requiring app. At least that's the way that worked for me, it might differ for you:

Hello,
Recently i bought HTC one x+ device in India. It came with android 4.1.1 and sense 4+. When i checked for update is showed that "there are no updates available for you device". ( although the android 4.2.2 and sense 5 had been launched in India in october 2012) Upon further investigation i found out that the device came from USA. When contacted HTC US support and they told me that it is an AT&T device ans asked me to manually update the device and provided me the link of HTC update RUU file . When i followed the procedure i ran into an ERROR [158] IMAGE ERROR.
when i contacted support team they told me get the device flashed at service center (which I dont want to do) What should i do?
My device information:

Hello guys ! So i will try to keep this short but i have to give you all the details regarding my problem. I was an iOS user for almost 4 years but now i switched to Android. I currently own an HTC One M7 (since july 2014). The phone was brand new and came with android 4.4.2 installed. Recently (2 weeks ago) i updated my phone to 4.4.3. Everything was just perfect. But then i found out about rooting and all the endless modifications so i said i should give it a try. I rooted my phone (and unlocked the bootloader) and installed TWRP 2.6.3.0. Now it gets a little bit more complicated. I tried to turn the S-OFF but couldnt do it and entered in TWRP (by mistake i guess) . From there i had the urge to format everything and i formated even the OS. Thing is after that my phone was bricked. Couldn't connect it at the computer (Linux or windows no matter what i tried the phone wasn't recognised by any PC). So i grabbed an OTG cable and managed to install an operating system named "Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.161.1.zip" from an RUU collection . So i finally managed to install an OS onto my phone and i was happy that my phone wasn't bricked anymore. But then i realised i downgraded to 4.2.2 and the OS is pretty crappy. Besides the WIFI is not working properly all the time , the camera doesn't start and cannot update to 4.4.3 . I have to mention that i don't have any recovery saved or backup. Now i tried to lock the bootloader and gain the S-OFF again but couldn't do it. The thing is i can't enter in recovery , i can't install a custom ROM on my phone and cannot update to the latest (4.4.3) stock htc one android. I need your help because i don't know what to do anymore. I tried to gain S-OFF with rumrunner , moonshide and revone and still no luck. My phone is now recognized by my PC and i can enter the adb devices from command prompt so i guess that is a good thing. But the bad thing is that i can't enter in recovery (it just gives me a black screen with a red triangle and an exclamation sign). I am pretty much a noob but i learned alot about android in the last 3 days. Please help me because i don't know what to do anymore i feel drained exhausted and sad. I just want a normal OS that can run properly on the phone and use my camera and WIFI at maximum capacity. If i can't run a custom ROM at least help me to revert back to stock and get updates for my OS. Thank you for listening !!

I'm an owner (past 2 years) of an HTC One x (AT&T) which has all the HTC/AT&T updates (at least until they stopped). I decided to purchase the above mentioned Cell phone (more memory), and needs to be pointed in the right direction. Based on what I read in the many forums related to rooting the phone, I'm overwhelmed with info. At this point I'm not even sure what I have for a phone. Like I said, looking to be pointed in the right direction. In opening bootloader this is what the brand new phone is telling me:

In going to the software info on the phone I have :
Android version: 4.1.1
HTC Sense Version: 4+
Software Number: 1.15.502.9.710RD
HTC SDK API level: 4.63
HTC extension Version: HTCExtension_Sense45_1,
Kernel Version: 3.1.10-g262c6aa, [email protected]#1, SMP PREEMPT
Baseband version: 1.09.55.17_18.20.95.55L
Build number:1.15.502.9 CL122548 release-keys
Browser Version: WebKit/534.30
The phone is new, out of the box, with no simcard installed. I'm already on AT&T (carrier) and intend to stay, at least for the moment. I do understand the "unlocked" is just for carrier, not the phone. Looking to be pointed in the direction to answer the following questions
1) Can I root this phone? 1A) Can I do it without a simcard? Then I'm looking to update Android version, and simply take my existing Simcard from old phone and install in the new. Finally transfer all from old phone to new.
You all do such great work, so I do feel a bit dumb in requesting guidance. I do hope I provided enough info for you to assist me. Thanks in advance for your help
Hi,
Here is a guide for your device that covers rooting,
> HTC One X+ > One X+ General > [HOW TO] Unlock bootloader, Root, Flash Custom ROM, Flash Kernel
You can ask for assistance there if needed.
Good luck!

I also try to download the 2.18.617.1 from official website of HTC and install, however, it noted that the software is not compatible with the A9.
Can you help?
Many thanks
