[Q] HTC One X with 4.1.1 root issues

My One X got OTA uograde to 4.1.1. I'm trying to get root acess to install a custom rom, but it seems not to work. I've been trying several guides, but all of them refering to putting the phone in "charge only" mode when connecting it to USB. This option is no longer available in Jelly Bean...
My bootloader is unlocked, but the rooting process doesn't seem to work on my phone. I've been trying this.
Have anyone successfully rooted a stock 4.1.1-upgradet One X?

It should work and it's the same process, not sure what guide you're following or where it fails, because you neglected to mention.

I did mention in the link above. The guide from this forum...

On my phone using xda app, I just get taken to the list of One X sub forums.
You still haven't said at what point you got to or how it fails.

It fails when trying to copy files... Doesnt seems to get access. I think maybe this has to do with usb connection mode. Not able to put in charge only...

I seem to have the same problem...still checking it out

Flash this SU.zip with CWM/TWRP http://download.chainfire.eu/298/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip and you have root. After reboot install BusyBox from Google Play. First you have to flash recovery, i recommend TWRP (more stable than CWM for most users) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622925.

Yes that's the trick ! Unlock bootloader, flash the recovery with the phone in fastboot usb mode and flash the SU.ZIP within the custom recovery :thumbup:

Yes the recovery takes care of that. Root only applies to everything inside the rom and stands loose from the bootloader and recovery.
Just enter the recovery and tap backup & restore and continue to make a backup. Then you can also copy the clockworkmod folder from the sdcard to the pc just to be safe........

My P6 is....messed and disorganized...need to downgrade...

Hey guys. Im really new to this scene and i need some help.
now currently i have kitkat 4.4.2 and im trying to downgrade to 4.2 the latest stable version for huawei.
i have the update.app ready and its in dload folder already. but when i try to downgrade it says its in lock state or something....
when i try to root it says its failing....thats with vroot and eroot.
can someone please help me with this. i just want the latest stable firmware on it and enjoy google play after a year of hell.

hm..
eroot and vroot are sometimes not proper working..
twrp 2700 and 2800 are the best way to get root (98% sure)..
first of all you need to get all the device drivers on your pc (notnonly the hisuite drivers..search for lesscro on this forum..there you should find drivers concerning huawei)..
then you need adb&fastboot (different packages and names..searchengines should find it )..
then use the search for how to flash twrp..and when you are searching, the next search should be how to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.x
i think this helps you the best..

Hey so i was able to root it with root genius. now whats the next step? sorry if im annoying but i want to make ABSOLUTELY SURE i dont screw this up.

alright so i got twrp in and its been flashed. now the only thing is to downgrade my phone from 4.4.2 to 4.2

ok i cant seem to update the UPDATE.APP. i have it both on my sd card and my phone.
my recovery is back to stock and it fails on VERLIST.
I need help.

CRAP
ok im freakin out now....its hanging at the huawei ascend logo. help.

tried to reloaD boot.img now and it says partition does not exist

Before you go and do anything now, flash stock 4.4 recovery and boot img, after that search the forum for link of a middle step for downgrading to 4.2 and flash that thruogh stock recovery then try to install stock JB.
Sent from my P6-U06 using xda app-developers app

thanks....
but i still cant mount system and data. where can i get the 4.4 stock? sorry i went through hell today....i dont want any "bad" files...

i fixed the system/data errors. it was wipe > advanced wipe > JUST CLICK system. after that i went to format all data and it removed those errors...
but when i try to install the stock firmware(from huawei) for 4.2 it still says failed
"Error flashing zip '/external_sd/dload/firm.zip"
Updating partition details...Failed

REALLY need an answer here.....

last post for the night....
when i try to fastboot -w update my rom i get the 2 files missing android-info.txt and android-product.txt.
hopefully i get a few responses when i wake up.

Ok since you can actually boot into recovery is a good sign so try to wipe/reset anything you can from there and then try to flash some firmware, if that doesnt go try to flash a custom recovery like twrp and install a custom rom, that would give an idea where is the problem maybe and from there its easier to get back

Make Sure the LG Usb drivers are installed. Then The phone must be off. After that hold the Volume Up button, plug in the usb cable to the computer while holding the volume up button. Let go only when you see the screen get to the download mode. Only then can you use the LG Flash tool for KDZ

If download mode doesn't work you need to push these files fastboot with adb commands. Go to THEPagel's thread with all the stock zips and extract those out and push each and every individual files via fastboot. Remember you need fastboot and adb installed on your computer before proceeding. If you are new to fastboot and adb then suggest searching for a tutorial on that before even attempting this.

why don't you just flash a stock 5.0 lollipop rom that isn't rooted. Don't flash su and then you'll have a stock rom without root and twrp.

like I said in my other post. Download a stock 5.0 lollipop rom. After your done flashing don't flash twrp. It's going to ask you that you're not rooted and if you will like to root. Press no then reboot. There you go back to stock without twrp and root.
ThePagel has an untouched stock rom

Download an official ROM for your Zenfone 2 and the official recovery of the version of your rom.
Boot your phone on Fastboot mode
Start shell and type "fastboot devices"
If your device is detected, you're saved
Then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (with the .img in your recovery.zip)
Then boot in recovery mode -> Press power button + volume up button
"Apply update from adb"
Type "adb sideload UL-********.zip" on your shell
Wait and enjoy your stock rom

So you must've flashed that raw file in AFT?
Then all you have to do is flash the latest raw instead .
Can I ask you a question.
Is your serial number correct in boot loader ?

the serial that appeared in aft ? ive think (123456789abcdef)
dont know if thats the correct format
right know im searching latest raw file for ze551 then flash it to aft right then after that?
where do i get the images files that ive flash in cmd like what ive do in previous unbricking method?
and flashing thru aft with latest raw file of ze551 will required that cmd command?

Don't do anything just yet , you need your serial corrected , which if not will affect your recovery
collection of raw files on xda by realyoti.
I think .194 LP is the last one he got
You only flash it in boot loader...using AFT .
It is important to do the two part flash in AFT for restoring serial.
Check my unbrick thread , for video and AFT download...from 2:17 mins in .
Before it is xFSTK flash ..which you don't need cause you already in boot loader.
AFT raw flash from 2:17 mins in, follow procedure , at 5:56 mins in -- cmds in blue on phone screen stays on `RESULT=OK` . Shut down , force close AFT , open AFT again - load it up with raw again and press vol+ once , and finish the flash -- serial number will be corrected now ! DO NOT dislodge the data lead while doing this procedure -- let the 2nd flash finish , it will boot into system by itself , recovery will now work correctly too !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmbRaJijIBs&feature=youtu.be

in short i will do aft two times? .. then my serial goes back to normal?..
and after flashing latest raw files will my recovery goes back to normal what i mean is i go to recovery when wipe and format belongs?

Able to boot into ww194 but not recovery and bootloader

Hi Masters, developers, gurus, gentlemen and women
I tried my best searching the threads but no solution.
I am able to boot into phone, surf net etc., BUT i cannot boot into bootloader and recovery.
Phone is detected as adb in Windows. I tried to adb reboot, manual volume up plus power and so on but cannot boot into bootloader or recovery. Any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I lost my root now.
Thanks in advance.
Ps: i was on ww194 rooted with twrp and bootloader all working. Backside itchy that i flashed latest official MM in twrp. The phone went looping for a few times and went back to twrp. So i twrp restore my phone. This is how i am strucked.
Edit: resolved. Use unbricked guide.

Hi,
if you are rooted, you could download the firmware zip of 194, extract and flash droidboot.img, so that your BL should be working again.

I lost my root.
Also cannot go into recovery and bootloader.
I wish i can do what u suggested.

Code:
Flash temporary recovery.
Via xFSTK. helped me many times when I hard bricked my phone.
Use Asus flash tool to upload the raw file via fastboot.
Once upload you could enter recovery. And you'll see an "error" by holding volume up and power and quickly release the volume up. You'll be brought to The recovery menu (do this when you see an error occurred)
Now you'll see the option flash via adb.
Flash the full stock rom again via adb sideload.
You'll be on track back
Don't worry you won't lose your apps and files.
Bootloader gets locked and unroot.
You know what to do next mate.
Follow the link provided below.
P.s after flashing the raw file... You could only enter fastboot and you'll have endless loading on boot screen if you didn't enter fastboot. Your OS won't load until you flash stock rom via adb sideload.
