Hey guys !
I'm brand new to rooting, but since i've heard you can make your phone faster (games, apps, etc) i have decided that i want to root it
anyway, since english isn't my native language, i would prefer a video guide instead of only text-based.
The problem is, up until an hour ago all the guides were how to root your one x from android 4.1.1 and down, and since i have 4.2.2 i wouldn't risk having my One X bricked.
Now, i found these two guides, and i just want to ask if it will work on my HTC One X with android 4.2.2? (Btw this is my first post so i can't post links yet )
First guide (Easy): www(DOT)youtube(DOT)com/watch?v=5tobHDQrmFk
Second guide (In-Depth): www(DOT)youtube(DOT)com/watch?v=oRthEA2zPEc
Could you maybe also tell me, which guide i should try...? because i just don't want my phone bricked

please read the stickies in the adroid development forum
i did but there is soo many im new. so i dont know which to use. and i youtube the video its all in different language. so its confusing
The guides are made for new people. If you dont understand them I'd lay off rooting your desire as you could brick it
Hey buddy. I was in a similar situation as you, on the edge of rooting.
I also have a Telus-branded HTC Desire. The method I used was : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=763558 with this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044 for reference.
Its fairly painless. I have been hoping back and for between AuraSense, SenseHD, Miui, and Leedroid.
Found if you don't have a dire need for Camera, SenseHD is the way to go.
Otherwise, I've been enjoying the latest Leedroid.
If you are having problems following the guides, it may not be a good idea to root. However rooting the Desire is very easy (at least the GSM version).
I used unrEVOked to root, just download from their site, switch USB Debugging mode on, plug in and start the app ... it takes care of the rest.
I have used DeVillain, LeeDroid, and OpenDesire. LeeDroid is very good. I have personally stuck with Cyanogenmod. Very easy to install and the fastest benchmarks of the lot. Only problem .. no Sense .. but LauncherProPlus can do most of the sense stuff.
Happy hacking.
Hello, First im really sorry if i posted this on a wrong page of the forums, and if so please move it to where it belongs.
Now I have recently been searching a lot but i couldn't find a method for Root on One X, after the actual update.
please reply, I will be very greatfull.
Its exactly the same s it was on ICS .... Nothing has changed.
So i can use the one click method from max and the xda-dev method ?
Yes sir
you can use the HTC toolkit programme and it still works, just did it the other day, worked like a charm with no problems
Hello all im new here I have tried to figure out if this can be done I have searched for 3 days now and cant see an answer.. I would like to unlock and root my HTC one X that is running 4.1.1.. so that I can remove all the rogers software since i am now using it on fido..
Please someone inform me if this can be done. I have found all these tools like the all in one toolkit but it doesnt say if it will work with 4.1.1 and software 3.17...
Thanks
Tookie
Can some one please help me There has been alot a views and no one can give me an answer ?
The process is exactly the same for jb phones. Use the toolkit if you want, it'll work.
Hi there, I have an HTC one X (international version), and I would like to install 4.3, as I really dislike sense 4, its laggy and uses up way too much of the system resources. I don't have root access yet. If someone could take me through a step by step process from rooting the phone through installing 4.3 jellybean OS, that would be really appreciated. In really simple words, and really detailed, I want to know exactly what to do as I don't want to brick my phone.
I can't believe this...
IS A SIMPLE SEARCH really TOO MUCH TO ASK !?!?

Hello guys, im newbie in roms and all the phones stuff so please dont criticise I have a HTC Desire Z with Android 2.2. My question here is how to update it to newer? 4.4.4 would be awesome, i want newest i can. I found some posts on couple of forums about this but every was like "format, flash, update, boooom done". Can anyone tell me how to do it from begining? I mean how to format it the way it should be, how to flash, what do i need etc.
Also i found this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374927
Is it good? I know i shouldnt ask what rom should i pick, im just asking is it good to use on this phone.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
The second post in this thread will help you understand the initial process
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348266
You need to use gfree to exploit and root if you want radio s-off which is the only way you should root this phone. And be sure to read through all those links to understand fully first, I know it may be overwhelming but it is important.
As for best ROM, we don't make suggestions in xda but the third and forth post will link you to every to available. Gingerbread runs the best overall but there are many ICS and jb ROMs that work almost as well (some will say better) and KitKat has come a long way where many will find that it suffice for daily use.
You'll have to try a few, make backups, try a few more to see what works best for you
If you get stuck somewhere just ask in that thread and many are there to jump in and help
Best of luck!
Kay so i downgraded my phone with fre3vo and rebooted, everything was fine. Now the guide says i should head back to official rooting guide on wiki but the problem is i cant root it now. At downgrading it worked with no problems but now i just cant do it. Can anyone help please?
