Need help with att one x, root recovery rom. Been out of game...

Hey guys and gals! My att one x is on the way. I trying to find out as much as i can, before it arrives, for development and custom rom usage on the new device.
I have been out of the forums since i sold my att note.
I know this is alot to ask for some, but...
Can someone please lead me in the right direction for rooting, recovery (cwm if possible), and rom.
My goal is to use a net 10 sim and unlimited plan with this device. This might/would require a carrier unlock code? I can get the code if i need it but id really just appreciate someone summing up these basic questions with basic links or knowledge of the processes. I feel my contributions to our xda forums warrant these inquiries.
Im sorry that i cannot take the time to read the entire att one x forum and subs. Im literally in constant overtime at work. If someone here has the knowledge and guidance, I would appreciate every bit of help.
Summary : Information needed for...
Root
Recovery
Rom
Misc. Information i need to know, including cross-platform rom compatibility (i. e. One X and att One X)
I want to thank you guys in advance because I know at the heart of XDA lies a caring and gifted community of talented people who feel good helping others.
I promise to run with the information and do as much research and reading as possible when time permits. I have done so with all of my devices and being a creature of habit, well...
Thanks again and please dont expect an immediate response of gratitude, personalized to individual replies, until this weekend when i can get back on here and start the one x root process.

Check out this thread, it's got links to pretty much everything you'll need:

What he said. Also i suggest twrp over CWM. It is touch based, plus it works with plenty of roms. You do want to make sure you are on a version where your phone can be rooted.
Good luck.

Is this an AT&T phone, as I suspect from your post? If so, I hope you can still return it.
There is no root method for AT&T One XL phones on 3.18, and there may not be one for months if ever.

This is very true. If the device is from AT&T and has the 3.18 Jellybean firmware, its can't be rooted. Although its possible there is some old stock at some stores with older firmwares. Anything but 3.18 can be rooted. I think someone posted on here just a couple weeks ago about getting a new phone from an AT&T store that had 1.73 (the version from when the phone was released!).
OP should check the firmware version in Settings, and go from there.

Help with new Texco Moto G

OK I just bought on contract a 16GB Moto G. Very happy so far. It downloaded the new 4.4.2 Kitkat. Can't see any difference.
It is locked to Tesco.
My question is, what steps do I now take to get root access and install CWM?
Do I need to unlock the phone first?
Any advantages in using one of the new Mods?
Any other advice welcome. I just know how to follow instructions...:fingers-crossed:
thanks

Already answered hundreds of times in other threads. Do some reading.

Use search. But do it in the following steps. Unlock the boot loader, then install a custom recovery, then root.

** just follow from Now, if you want root, **
Don't forget to thank those who made the guides.

If you ask these questions which are already answered dozens of times i recommend you to read more first before you do anything. Otherwise your next question will be how "to make a phone out ouf my brick?".

OK. Sorry. I get you guys. I just thought maybe the Tesco version might need some different approaches. Actually it is quite hard to find a simple list of "things to do" with your phone, tablet whatever or simple steps you need to follow. Of course the details are more complex. I wasn't sure if I needed to unlock the phone or could do rooting on a locked phone. Maybe each device forum category should have a simple sticky just like that for us non-techies who just follow the instructions without really understanding what is going on.
Also I was half asleep and I see there is actually an excellent introduction. Deaf, dumb and blind...

[Q] [i Need Help] Root Htc One X¿At&t? Official 4.2.2

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?

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 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.

If a dev has interest trying, he will find a way. But the thing is, most devs won't have interest. So sit tight and maybe send a bounty

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.

Rooting

Are all of the One A9s ordered direct from HTC able to be BL unlocked right from HTC or is there still a process outside of that? Does it wipe the device?
Hoping to get the device and quickly root to maybe use apps like greenify to get some tolerable battery life. All the reviews say battery is terrible.

You unlock the boot loader via htc.dev and s-off with sunshine, read the thread about it. Good luck it is not that hard to do, and the 25$ to s-off is well spent money.

You're able to use htc dev program to unlock the bootloader. If you got yours directly from htc and if it's the developer edition then the bootloader comes unlocked with no warranty void. Unlocking the bootloader through htc dev does in fact wipe your device. Once I obtained the device from att I unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp and installed the latest supersu beta for systemless root. Afterwards I booted up, installed sunshine and purchased s-off. After I gained s-off I converted to the developer edition by changing my cid to BS_US001 (dev edition) and flashing the corresponding firmware. As of now there are flashable zips from @Captain_Throwback that are prerooted. If you're looking to use greenify or amplify than I'd recommend the deodexed version as that makes it more stable for the xposed framework.

Wait you have to pay to get root?
Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

Not for root. For S-Off.

Don't you need s-off for root?

The purpose of forums is to collaborate and help. Every single phone manufacturer does things differently and every forum is setup differently. I checked the top threads in general and QA and didn't see my answers.

I am sorry if I offended you, but this is not a chat app , and the rooting thread is one of the first an biggest in here, the info in a forum like this are intended to be used, and we can't shout out a question in a new thread the second it pops up in our head. Then we will never find anything around here, I often go back and read up on things so that I am sure of things, this xda forum has so much knowledge saved and there must be some kind of structure to get it to work. Try look up how many members we have, you will be surprised..

This is not the right place to ask for help with this... Check out the "guide" section... And ask questions In " Questions & Answers" section.
I think this is best method:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-root-twrp-lg-v20-using-dirtysanta-t3722278
Others use h915 kdz.
Please refrain from posting on this thread again. It will make me regret helping.
Don't forget to thank people who help you in the thread with thanks button. Specially if the guide they made helps a ton. Note this will get rid of at&t software. I think there is way too restore it still but I have not checked for a while.

this is helpful

Is there any current way to unlock the bootloader on the LG V20 H910 with AT&T's latest firmware release? AT&T has locked diown the bootloader, and with LG no longer in the cell phone game, they aren't able to provide the OEM bootloader unlock code as well. A few people have also mentioned that the Dirty Santa no longer works on these devices. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

At least did you try to follow the instructions available? According to this post from October-2022 it worked on H910 AT&T.

You are looking for help, because you don't know how to solve it. So we as a community need a little bit of cooperation from everyone to be able to understand if it's a limitation/roadblock of the method, or if you are doing something wrong for whatever reason.
So posting: "don't work", "it's useless" and anything like that not only don't help but discouraging others who read this threads. Tell the problem/error that you encounter.
I found another user who said that he flashed dirtysanta directly and once have TWRP he worked around it the downgrade flashing necessary.
As last resort you can swap the motherboard for one that is vulnerable for the exploit.
But if you wanna some one-click "I don't wanna have trouble" solution, I'm sorry that I can't provide that.

I have a clients device that needs to be updated, hence the search to unlock the bootloader and then update the device. The posts I come across, even new ones seem to be reposts of others work from before LG shut down their bootloader unlocking service, so ehen you follow their steps they don't work at various steps. I've been updating devices as far back as Android 1.5 and for some devices its a struggle to update them at all. Replacing the pcb isn't an option right now as the customer won't pay for it. Hence I scour various websites and forums for solutions as other post their success/failure in doing the same on this device. Too often I find people posting about updating their devices, only to find that they either already had their bootloader unlocked before LG shutdown their service to do so, or they just don;t reply to a PM about their process, hence they're fake posts, or old posts from years prior being reposted for no valid purpose. The amount of tim I spend to update peoples devices and test custom ROMs is actually fruitless in terms of money paid, but more for me to keep devices out of the landfills whenever possible. Every time I mod a device I make and keep notes, as well as the files used, stored on one of my NAS as I know I'll be doing it again in the future, including properly and fully testing custom roms to determine if they're actually working properly, or exactly what their issue(s) is(are), and I keep finding a plethora of bugs and issues with too many custom ROMs being pumped out before proper testing. I routinely turn down some device update requests when update steps are convoluted, fractured or even requirements are no longer valid. I'll keep looking around and trying various methods as I come across them. Thx.

No problems, I feel for you because I like to keep people using devices that otherwise would be discarded without real needs.
