One Click Root for HTC ONE X 1.29 Firmware

Hey, I got this off the Chinese version of our xda-developers site. It seems as they are quite ahead in this department. thought I would share it with you guys. Not my work, all credits go to Cason.
Proven to work.
EDIT: Must Have Unlocked Bootloader!
Steps:
unzip,
put your phone into usb debugging mode,
connet to computer
double click install-root.bat

anyone tested this yet?

It just flashed a unsecure boot.img...

I get "failed (remote not allowed) error'

doesn't this do what we already have for an unlocked bootloader?

Bootloader must be unlocked to use this method !!!

1.29 one click root, no bootloader unlcioking.
Does any one know of a one click root method for the 1.29 version yet where we don't have to unlock the bootloader? I'm stuck in the mud so to speak.

I could be wrong and i'm sure some will tell me if I am but, I think we need S-Off before we can even start to into 1 click root without using HTC dev.

So if I unlock the bootloader via HTCdev. I could just use a standard root method?
Heres my issue. I have the internatinal X with 1.29 and want to root
Can you tell me my options? I know the pros and cons of rooting and I know the theory behind it. This is just my first try and want to get it right. I'm looking for a fool proof method!
Thankyou so much if you can help

Well this this my first time rooting a device. It's my first big boys phone and I get the pros and cons of root and unlocked bootloader. Just because it's my first time im scared.
So if I unlock my boot loader I can root (what method? Can you point me in the right direction please?) and keep stock ICS for a while then update ROM when I feel fit?

One main warning if you unlock your bootloader with HTCDev your warranty is basically void.

[Q] Rooting international HTC One X with HTC Patch

Hi,
I've been trying to root my HOX using oneclick with no success, I keep getting a "permission denied" message. I've tried to find an answer on XDA and via google but couldn't find one.
All I want to do is root my device in order to restore apps data from my old Desire using Titanium Backup, I don't want to unlock the bootloader or flash a new recovery (I want to still be able to get OTA updates as JB is about to be release later this month).
Is there a way to do so ?
I also tried the method from XDA (HTC_QuickRoot_1.1.13_Release) but I get a message stating that my device is patched (my software version is 2.18.751.7 if thats help).
Thanks a lot guys !

Those One Click Tools are going through HTCDev then unlock bootloader too, at least for HOX since we have no other method to gain permenant root.
You can still receving OTA from HTC if you stayed on stock ROM. However, you will need stock recovery and stock-like ROM(not altering too much likes uninstalling certains system app.. blah~ blah~ blah~) to properly flash the OTA.

I know that there is a way to root the HOX without unlocking the bootloader or flashing a different recovery, the problem I have is that my device seems to have some kind of a patch thats preventing the root exploit to work.
Are you saying I can't root my device unless I'll use HTCDev? Because I don't think its true...
I don't want to mess with custom ROMs right now as my phone is still under warranty and I would hate it to be void, I know I can go back (ie unroot and flash stock recovery) I just don't want to mess with it right now.
I use to do it with my good old Desire (flashed it like a 1000 times) and right now I want to use the stock ROM.
Does anyone has an idea of how I can get simple root permission?

You cannot root with a locked bootloader on the HOX. Simply not possible. But feel free to waste your time trying.

Your in the wrong forum, this is for the tegra3 one x. We can't root without unlocking via htcdev.

I have the same phone. There is no recovery image that i can find. Does anyone one know what would be the most similar? I want to still get the OTA jellybean update!

Well I won't be waisting my time, If you're saying its not possible then I guess its not.
Do I have to use the HTCDev first to unlock it? I'm sure HTC keeps a list of devices that has been unlocked using their website. Then if one of them devices will be sent back for repairs they will say the warranty has been void....
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader and root the phone without using HTCDev, then lock it again and keep the root permissions?

Mine is the Tegra3 One X...I read that there is a oneclick tool to root any HTC and I tried it on mine, I get a message that the phone has been patched so the root process failed. Why does it matter if the its the Tegra3 CPU or Snapdragon S4 ? I mean root wise?
Thanks guys !

Look, I know I can use HTCDev but I don't want to do it through their site.
Is there a different method to unlock and root an HOX?
Thanks.

Why is that all I want to do is roll back from the OTA to the previous state before any OTA updates as I can no longer access the beats audio settings I have no interest yet in rooting the device with a custom firmware unless i really have to as like I said i am a complete noob to all this.

It doesn't have to be rooted to flash recovery from fastboot. Does it power down and charge? I'd buy it. Probably needs just a rom and boot.img like others have said. Every chance a noob had it and got out of his depth and thought it was bricked.

It's the rom that is rooted. So you can flash one that is already rooted or flash one that isn't and root after, it's up to you. Main thing is to get some charge in it first.

The phone says unlocked in the top line so you're good to go. You must flash a recovery while you are in BL screen and you need PC to flash it.
Then, with recovery, you can install any ROM you want. The ROMs are pre rooted so you don't have to root separately.
Hope this clears things up. Buy the phone already!!

ohooo
I got the background story
The guy who now have the phone buy it from somebody WITHOUT anything. Just the device.
After 2-3 week, it's started freezing and be slowly. So he do a reset from the settings.
After that the device ain't no turn on.
I think it have an instable costume rom and after reset it's crashed and now it don't have rom on it, it's possible?

like cjm1979 not the phone is rooted...the rom is rooted...i don't know why all are saying to unlock phone that this is rooting...rooted is only the rom to get full access....for that we need unlocked bl...this phone is already unlocked...if you can't boot in recovery because there isn't custom recovery then flash one ...then go in flash a rom and the boot.img via fastboot...but make sure the phone has over 30 % ...if not it wont flash anything...

Just delete the super user app. There should be an unroot option in there somewhere. You shouldn't need to worry about the recovery. But I believe there is a stock recovery in the non carrier branded forum

You could download this rom and once it's done downloading open the .zip up and delete Superuser.apk from either /system/app or Data/app. Then when you boot up it should look normal enough. After that you could just flash a stock recovery
IMO that's your best option since I haven't seen a ruu yet.

Yo
I have a quick question for the administrators. I was on Cyanogenmod with TWRP Recovery on my Htc one M8, i did everything stock (installed 2.22.401.4 odexx stock rom, with stock recovery, relocked the bootloader and turner S-ON) Now i have OTA update and when i click install now it shows red triangle and the update fails. When i go into recovery it shows something like 2.22.401.4 "something is wrong or missing something-i dont like to go into recovery to see again but i think you know this issue ) Can you please tell me what to do guys i dont want to sell my htc m8 and i want to get the OTA's in the future without any problem. Btw my phone is bought from T-Mobile Macedonia, where i wondered is this t-mobile RUU for all countries T-Mobile devices or just US?
I will be very grateful for your answers dudes.
Thank you in advance.
