Root htc one x internation version on sense 4.1 update.

I just got a HTC One X on vodafone and its on the latest firmware with sense 4.1 that was released a few days ago. Is there anyway to root it or should I wait for people to come up with a way?

Unlock your bootloader with htcdev.com, flash a custom recovery (like clockworkmod). Flash superuser in recovery or flash a custom Rom which comes pre rooted. Job done

Is there a way I can root without losing all my user data and apps from unlocking the bootloader?

If you do a search on here there is a way to back up before unlocking your bootloader, I don't know how to do it myself as I just re set everything after unlocking

Very quick question (Urgent)

Guys,
I need a quick help.
I formated my HOX. It was stock, rooted, philz recovery, etc.
No I want to install my stock ota file that I saved to my disk but I have no idea how to do it.
Is there any way to instal my ota file update?
There is no option to install nandroid as I'm blocked by network administrator and can not download anything.
Is there any way to instal my ota file update? if you have any idea please let me know.
Thanks,

Ota files only applies to a stock rom, so you need to be on stock rom before you can successfully install an ota

Does RUU workw while I was on 4.22. Can HBOOT be dwongraded?

Nope can't be downgraded, only if your phone came with S-OFF.
And 4.2.2 ruu's are rare/non existing here.

So the only option is when I go home download NANDROID and proceed on.
Another question? DO I need to keep this ota file (Stock ROM) 4.2? IS there any way that I can use it or it is useless?
Because before I deleted my HOX, I flashed stock recovery, relocked boot loader and booted my phone to recovery in order to flash the file by did not work.

Why wipe the stock rom and apply an ota ?
What you can do is this :
Unlock
Flash custom recovery
Restore stock rom
Flash stock recovery
Update the phone via the menu
No need to install the ota that way.

The point is that Stock ROM wont be installed through philz recovery.
I tried to install it with philz recovery and it says;
file_getprop: Failed to stat "/system/build.prop. No such file or directory.
"Error in sd card.. Status 7. Installation aborted.

You mean restoring the nand ?

I'm talking about the OTA stock file (official rom 4.2 ) that I received during update.

The ota file is of no use without running the stock rom. You need to follow my earlier instructions then you can update easily

Mr. Hofs,
I downloaded nandroid back up but I'm having problem with md5 \. Do you have any idea how to get rid of this problem with md5.

Uhm yeah there might be a solution. Check the general section for the backup collection thread. A possible fix is posted there.

Recovery (smartflash)

I had HTC Sensation (s-off) with 4ext recovery which has smartflash option for s-on users, with that you can directly flash kernel on your phone without pc, fastboot etc. So is smartflash posible for HOX ? Happy new year.

Nope, only dev work that comes close is the kernel-lighter from thunder

Is that due to hardware or ?

Yes because you need s-off to flash kernels directly via the recovery.

OK first thing I was asking you to see if you did a Nandroid Back of your Bell Stock Rom that you might need one day....but that won't work now cause your not stock completely........
Secondly if using firewater and gives you WHELP....... IT'S not going to S-Off.....so your SOL.....so now if you wanted to sell your phone and try another to get S-OFF...this is where your Nandroid Backup would of come in handy....<<<<

that's possible, but after full unroot, you'll still have your custom recovery..
after flashing stock recovery you'll have to relock bootloader too

Please provide stock recovery file
