[Q] Can we Root: HTC One X with OTA -Stock Jelly Bean

Hey Guys,
As you can see the name of the title, I have a HOX and I relocked the Bootloader and ran the Stock RUU and after doing that did a complete OTA update from ICS to Jellybean.
NOW... All i want is to root my phone again so that i can use Apps like CoreControl, Addfree etc.
Please tell me if I can root my phone again and how?

well, i don't think there is a stock JB root, you can unlock the bootloader then flash recovery and then flash a custom rom ... remember to do a nandroid backup before doing this

Thanks bro. I was looking for this answer on google and no had seem to do this... Full OTA and then root.
I think I would wait until someone makes a root method for Stock JB (OTA) on HTC One X

It's exactly the same process as with ICS. What's the problem?

Really... I didn't know... If what you say is correct, then I can have root on JB as well.

Yes and please do not forget to backup the original JB rom before you root and put a custom rom .... so you can go back to stock at any time, there is no RUU available yet to get it back to stock at the moment.
Edit : sorry i just saw that matt also gave the hint to back it up

Nandroid is ur best friend when coming to installing any ROM. Don't forget it. It'll save a lot of time if any problem is encountered.

To be honest if you look here in the Q&A part of the forum you will see at least 8 posts with exactly the same question !
The art of reading is not to ask....

How to find a ruu is for every cid number the same process ! And this process has been covered millions of times in the Q&A.there are also clear guides in the dev thread under stickies. It should be mandatory to read them before continuing.
Don't know what else to say about it !

plz link download ruu 2.17.111.3??

But is there a possibility to get back to stock any way? I did not make a nandroid backup and now I can't go back to stock?
Same software version as OP (111) with T-MOB001 CID.

And download the matching nandroid backup ! Restore it including the boot.img and the stock 2.17 recovery. After that you can update

The 2.17 appears to be a broken link, would the higher version work if i downloaded it? It's this one;

Depends on your hboot. Did you already updated the phone to JB ? If not then you can not use it because that's the JB version.

I updated my phone to a Cyanogen 10 Mod which is running Jellybean.

Well that's no guarantee because those roms also run on the lower hboots, check the top of the bootloader and read what hboot number you have

My HBoot is: 1.12.0000

Then you need the 2.17 nandroid backup or a lower one. I contacted the owner of the nandroid backup already so i hope to hear something soon.

Thanks man, that's really appreciated

Its your only option, a lower ruu will not work because we dont have s-off. A lower nandroid backup would work but that is also missing in the list....
I will let you know when i have news about the backup :thumbup:

Will this work even if I have done most of the steps for unrooting? All i had left to do was run the ruu file as administrator (thought i had the right one earlier) and then follow the steps. I haven't tried to reboot my phone but I have relocked it.

Yeah whats on the phone is not important, the trick is to enter the bootloader and lock the bootloader (as you said you already did) then perform the commands gien in the thread and flash the firmware. It will lift your hboot to 1.36. After that you unlock th bootloader again and flash a custom recovery and perform a full wipe and then install the desired JB rom

[Q] Reverting back to Stock Rom.

Well haven't I been a bit of an idiot?!
Right then, so I installed the SentinelROM, rom, no problems there had a play around with it for a few days, and felt that it wasn't for me. So I went back to my recovery (TWRP) to install the backup I made, hoping it would backup my phone to its original rom.
Now the problem started with a bootloop, where it just got stuck on the "HTC One X" screen. So I wiped the system again, and tried to install the backup again and again. Nothing worked, so thought of flashing the recovery image I had. Tried that, nothing worked. This also got rid of the TWRP Recovery in the process.
I've been searching everywhere on how to revert to the original ROM, and I've had no luck so far. Either the tutorials are just a bit confusing, or I can't find the right files!
Now, could someone help me with this? If they have the relevant files that is. I'll try my best to give all the details you need, I'm just desperate to get my phone working again.
I was running JB 4.1 on my HTC One X.
My CID is ORANG001
HBOOT 1.36
Version-Main 3.16.61.6
Please could someone help me with this problem, and maybe explain it a bit more clearly! It would be greatly appreciated.

Flash the kernel file that is located in the backup folder. The boot.emmc.win file !

I've lost the backup file in the process of trying to restore the stock rom. I'm not sure how. I think it's because the TWRP was deleted so the backups are gone.
I've managed to install Cyanogenmod so its not like I don't have a phone!
But I would rather get it back to stock though!
Anyway way of getting a nandroid backup or a RUU for this? I've been searching everywhere! Watching numerous videos to figure out how to get it back to stock, and nothings working so far.

Bump.

Thanks Mr Hofs, however I've tried that thread numerous times.
The dropbox download for my cid doesn't seem to be available. I just get an error with dropbox. Seems like the files don't exist anymore.
I'll ask on the thread if someone has it.

[Q] Trouble Reverting back to Stock

Hi guys, I've been using CM 10.1 but will now sell the phone so I want to revert it back to stock. I have searched a long time for instructions but kept running into stumbling blocks. Basically, the RUU I need is 4.18.401.2 but then I found out HTC no longer released their RUUs so I tried to find a nandroid backup. Then I found this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33728099 but non of the correct RUUs match my CID (HTC_102). Can anyone give me a hand and point me in the right direction? Thanks a lot!

Use ANY 3.20.401 nand (yes you read it correctly !) Restore it completely, after that you flash back the 3.20 STOCK HTC recovery. Then search manually for OTA and update the phone as much as you can. AFTER that you can relock the bootloader if you wish !

You sir, are a saint! Just to clarify, when the bootloader is unlocked, I can still have OTA updates? When it's relocked, OTA updates are no longer possible? I'm asking because I have a new Xperia Z1 Compact and they seem to suggest that I can only use the Sony Update Service when the bootloader is relocked. I know the Sony Update Service is not OTA and is a computer application but I just wanted to clarify that's it's not a difference in the way the phones' bootloaders function.
EDIT: I've downloaded 3.20.401.1 CWM HTC__E11 and copied the contents of the rar to my phone. I went into CWM recovery and tried to restore but it said "No Files Found. Couldn't open directory." Am I looking in the wrong place? But I couldn't choose the directory (anyway, the files are in the only folder on the SD card).
EDIT 2: I tried to do a backup to see what would happen and got this: "Backing up data...No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage. Backing up cache...No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext."
EDIT 3:It worked! I'm such an idiot, the recovery was in the wrong folder. Thanks a bunch!

Good ! For a hox counts that you can do ota with and without an unlocked bootloader.
