HTC One X 4.0.4 Root... - HTC One X

Has anyone been able to find anything about the htc 1 x getting a root for the new software?

What do you mean? If you have unlocked the bootloader you can just root it the same as before...
Unless you have a One XL, in which case you're in the wrong forum

I think he is referring to the new Software Update to Android 4.0.4, which he put as the title for the forum post.
I just upgraded from my old Cappy today to the One X and (foolishly) installed the software update, unaware that it would prevent me from rooting. I'm quite bummed out now. I feel like my dreams have been shattered.

You can still root it, if your bootloader is unlocked just flash CWM and then the SuperSU zip package - but I think you guys might be in the wrong forum as the Tegra 3 One X hasn't had 4.0.4 yet

Unfortunately the united states version of the htc one x is unable to have the bootloader unlocked.

HTC oneX, 4.0.4,,,,, 2.17.401.2
Hello everybody,
Today I have updated my htc1X, and now my OS's version has changed to 4.0.4. Unfortunately, now my phone is not rooted. However it's bootloader is unlocked but when I go to Recovery from fastboot menu I just see it's default interface.. I have installed supperSU application but still have not root access..
I think, we have to wait for a new version of revolutionary or update from there to solve this issue..

omg... just install root as told everywhere. just to install the superSU from the playstore doesnt work. just use the search-function and u'll get the info u want! :silly:

[Q] Rooted phone + OTA Three UK

Hey guys I just released today that my phone had the OTA update and i'm on Three in UK.
Anyhow I'm really wondering how I can update it with my rooted phone i'm pretty sure it will cause problems. What is the best way to update to the latest software with a rooted phone?
Do I have to unroot it?
Do I have to relock bootloader?
I'd like some clarification!!
Thanks a lot.
i just done the same on my three Uk version, i had to uninstall cwm install original recovery lock the boot back and download update and install,
priesl forpage
I swear you only had to relock the bootloader.
well i guess i done all this for nothing as i just come of the phone to three, i got the black version of htc one x, i found screen flickering so they going to send me the new one , well i thought ill go for the white one lets hope the new phone is ok

This is what I'm wondering. I'm running stock rom (rooted) and from what I can gather you have to unroot and reflash HTC stock recovery. I'm waiting for confirmation before I go ahead though

Well exactly what you just said, I don't see the point of doing a recovery though (if you're on a stock rom) anyway i'd like a explanation from a guy that knows a lot about it, would be appreciated.

Looks like you havn't got to relock bootloader, just unroot, flash stock recovery (if on a custom recovery) then update
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I may be wrong but I though it still updated if on stock, you just lose root so you need to root it again afterwards. That's from past experience with Samsung phones, but thought it'd might be similar on other phones which is why I added my input.
Ota updates check system files before it reports if an update is available (does it not?), if it reports an update it must be fine IMO.

Thanks man =) will do right now and report if successful, for other people.
You'll have to delete clockwork recovery mod before updating.. not sure how but i'll find out. I'm still a noob since I switched to android a few weeks ago.
How do you unroot?

Delete supersu app and Su binaries. Go into system/bin or xbin and look for a file called Su, then delete it. You could try to update while rooted but people have reported errors and stuff messing up

Got this Apps from an RC build of the One X .
Anyone interested in making it work on release builds?
It has many interesting testing tools and an option for controling how many CPUs will be used , at what speed and voltage .
Works on release builds. Just extract and install as its still signed by HTC. Has some interesting stuff. Dev should def look into it. But users be aware there's some thing better left untouched

I get an "Application not installed" error when i try to install it on the same device , running now on a release build (1.29.401.11 to be exact) with the device being rooted .
Did you just install it right away and got it working?
Granted , some of the available options can really mess the phone
I am guessing the kernel of the build i got it from ( 1.17.401.0 ) allowed voltage control although it would never go above the level running at 1.4GHz among other things .
Also unlocks the bootloader every time i flash it to my device .
Well I'm on maximus with faux kernel. First I pushed to /system/apps but then decided to try and install. Installed fine. Might need to push then install. Mostly test features but some look extremely useful.

Probably does not work with a stock kernel . I have extracted the Rom from the ruu executable and will upload it somewhere tomorrow . I believe there should be more usefull stuff in the way some elements of the Rom are written like the ulocled bootloader which is then locked again by just flashing a newer version and the kernels overvoltage ability . If there is a way to be installed on a stock Rom , rooted one of course would be of great use . The ability to show the CPU temperature on overlay is quite interesting and shows when the throttling starts.
What do you mean in regards to the unlocked bootloader?
CPU setting look good. It's possible to set the CPU to only use one core

The bootloader on this Rom is unlocked by default you don't need to do anything to get it unlocked . When you flash a newer version it gets locked and then unlocked again when you flash this Rom back to the phone . So HTC must have another way to unlock and lock it , one that probably someone could find inside this Rom to be able to use it in other ways . Along all that the Rom is pre rooted .

Can you provide the file you flashed? So let me get this straight you were running a stock Rom (1.29.XXX.11) with a ***LOCKED*** bootloader. You ran the 2.05 file (RUU I'm guessing) and your bootloader changed to ***UNLOCKED***
Is that correct?

I just stated the fact that this RUU unlocks the bootloader and any newer flashed afterwards locks it again . Still when you flash this one back the bootloader gets unlocked again .

[Q] Unbranding HOX without S-OFF

Hi everybody,
I know this sounds like the tipical question and up until some days ago, I thought I had the answer too....
But reading some posts lately, I now have a doubt and I really wanted to ask this directly:
Is it possible to unbrand an HOX (3 UK), even if we don't have S-OFF yet?
I thought that, being that without SOFF the radio wouldn't be accessible, it would not be possible to completely unbrand anything....
But then in some recent post someone mentioned that in the HOX the radio is in the ROM so it can be actually overriden....
So, if I unlock through htcdev, and install any of those ROMs based on newer RUUs and Radios, will it work? The radio too?
Any downside to this approach? (beside warranty, of course)
Thank you for the clarifications....
No it is not possible to flash a different RUU without S-OFF
You can run custom, though
I cant find the way to ask a question so i will ask here ...... I want to update my evo 3d to 4.0 , i finished downloading successufly but when i try to install it the phone powers off and takes me to bootloader menu(that i unlock it then relock it) i reboot the phone but
The update dosent appear ...helppp

Ok, so this is what I knew....but what will the custom rom override the radio??
3UK phone have specific radios, I think, so what if I install a custom rom based on a newer RUU with a newer radio? What wil it happen??
Thank you!

Somebody will correct me if i'm wrong but I am 99% sure that the radios are the same fot 3uk as for any other provider. The radio's are provided by htc.
Custom rom's will be fine, the only thing that you can't do brandwise is sim unlock until s-off is achieved.
you can unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, install root, change CID, restore stock recovery, relock bootloader and install unbranded RUU
I did this on two One S and the procedure is the same for the One X

Won't work, people have tried and failed. Something to do with the tegra 3 and new security measures implemented by HTC. You can edit the cid but on reboot it will be back to normal

I don't have the technical reasons to hand ( something to do with the partitions being different I think ) but it's all down to this being tegra3 based
In the general forum the is a massive thread where this has been discussed many time.

[Q] One X root - Advice please

I have received an upgrade from my network - Three UK - htc One X
I rooted my unlocked Evo 3D previously, but reading into One X root, I'm finding conflicting information and no straight forward solutions. I have had 2 software updates already - 4.0.4 now. Sense 4.1
Does it matter that I have these updates and that the phone came from the carrier?
Anyone know the best way to get it rooted, so that I can backup the stock Rom before choosing a custom?
Thanks

Please explain what you want ? Are on complete stock and want to update or are you on a custom rom and want to update ?
And is there still an update available or did you update it to the latest 4.0.4 sense 4.1 ?
I'm a little confused reading your text !
Update 4.0.4 comes with sense 4.1 this is one update not 2 separate updates !
Please give the proper info so i can help you with this
If you want to root you must unlock via HTC dev first . And second there are devs that has made it easy for you .there's apps in the dev section that will do it all for you here's one i found for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604439 and once you install your recovery you would want to make a back up of your stock Rom

Hi
It is stock, just thought I'd mention that it updated to 4.0.4 recently. Wasn't sure if it would affect the rooting process.

Hi
Thanks for the reply. Do you have to go the HTCdev route with this? I don't mind doing it a harder way, just the best way. I'm guessing it doesnt matter that the phone is locked to a carrier.

You can still root it following the rooting instructions, there are even video guides for it. It is something everyone can successfully do
If you use that app that I recommended in the previous post HTC dev is built in the app

And read in on flashing boot.img files with fastboot commands, very important to know and learn how to use them !

The commands to find your CID are found in almost every thread involving a question about JB updating. My preference is to use;
fastboot getvar all
Official updates from HTC exist only for their ROM (should make sense right...pun intended). So it should never be possible to correctly install an HTC update using some other developer's ROM. Hence, you need to flash back to a stock rom AND flash back to the stock recovery. Once your phone appears to be running the required HTC software, HTC updates should install correctly.
As for your question about flashing JB manually. Well, on a basic level, JB is an HTC thing. They roll it out, region to region, based on how phones are configured for specific carriers (identified by their CID). If JB OTA update has not been issued for you CID, then that's a provider issue (who ever your telcom is). So technically, there would be no HTC stock JB ROM that exists yet for your CID. Other Telcos in your country might already be rolling it out, but if your Telco hasn't done so yet, then you must wait .
You can absolutely flash things intended for use by a different CID, but your phone will crap out and you'll spending 4 days worth of reboots, posts, charging to above 30%, fastboot commands, adb commands, HTC driver installs, RUU installs, and nandroid backup run-arounds getting right back to where you probably are now :silly:. Since you are waiting for the OTA update anyway, why not try it and learn all about it hands-on.....or wait. To each his own
Fot those who are still waiting for jb update for htc_j15, check in settings for the update. It worked for me
