thanks for the update on 2.20 root, i was wondering if you plan to show us how to install roms for this firmware. Thanks
I’ve done the driver install and everything seems to be OK when I plug and unplug the phone. The computer recognizes it and I can get the device by adb devices. When I get the identifier token and enter it on the HTC dev site, I get the error “Error code:160 Error Reason: MID not allowed. Any idea what that is? I’ve got 2.20 running on this AT&T One X. I’ll try another computer to see if I get the same results.
Nevermind…user error 🙂
However, I’m at the point where I should be booting into the twrp, but it doesn’t. I’ve done the “fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-evita.img” and the “fastboot erase cache” over and over. I try to enter recovery and it displays the HTC screen for a few seconds like it should, the vibrates and seems to reboot and load normally, but not into the twrp interface. I’ll keep trying, but I can’t get to the supersu load without twrp, right? Then I will want to load ViperX or some other Jellybean.
OK, fine. I’m too quick to yell. I tried a few more times and it finally entered the correct recovery. Now I will continue. Sorry about all of the posts. This is my first root since my old Captivate and I’m kinda rusty and don’t want to mess up.
I can get as far as the “Getting CID (waiting for device)” but then nothing happens. I did notice that in my Device Manager the HTC is under “Android USB Devices” instead of “ADB Interface” Not sure if that is causing the error or not.
Hey did you find an answer for this? cuz im having the same issue
I had the same issue, after installing drivers from the HTC website it worked fine.
I found a link on XDA-developers website, search for posts by freshleysnipes. As mentioned in the video turn off HTC sync if the drivers install it.
A bit more information…I noticed that while in the bootloader the phone is now showing up as “Android 1.0” under other devices in the Device Manager. Is that expected?
i have CM10 up and running on my ATT One X. Everything seems fine, except that I cannot restart the phone without it getting stuck on the white HTC screen with the red text.
In order to boot into CM10, I have to get into bootloader mode, select twrp recovery, wipe the cache, and then select reboot into system from there.
Any idea what is going on here?
I too am having issues with trying to post the unlock token on the htc dev site. I am getting the same Error code:160 Error Reason: MID not allowed as Jeff above. I copied the script just as instructed in the video with no extra spaces, Is there something I missed?
Im a super noob at this when i open my command prompt it says this C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator> but idk how to open the cd downloads and all that stuff can you please help??
never mind i figured it out and am successfully rooted:)
hey, im new at this have had my one x since may and i want to root it now, since you’re new like me, howd you do it? mind helping out another newb

I thank you in advance ..
I can get as far as the “Getting CID (waiting for device)” but then nothing happens. Can i proceed to next step.
Took several tries to flash recovery and clear cache, but everything is up and running. Nice job on the step by step instructions.
Will that same method will work with the One S Tmobile version ….
hey max i need help bad !
i accidently wiped my system and now i have no os installed at all! what do i do?
nevermind just fixed it
How did you fix this? Did you transfer stuff from PC? If so, how?
I’ll contribute some funds if you update this video for MAC users. Or is this site dead?
I need to know if this will be the same for the one x plus i just got it i need to root it please reply asap thanks
I still cannot get the CID to reset after several tries. Everything works just like it should until it reboots, then it just says “[-] Failed.” and the CID is not changed to 1s. I am surprised no one else seems to have this problem, any help is appreciated!
Is there a way to root my HTC One X on 2.20 firmware without having to lose any data? Or does the universal one click work for this kind of HTC One X? Any help from someone would be great, thanks.
This is my second smart phone and my first real attempt at rooting the device. Your instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I was able to root my phone with no issues…on the first try! Thank you so much! Maybe when I get over the anxiety I will try and flash a new ROM. Do you have a ROM that you would recommend?
Thanks again!
Hey there. I was able to root my phone following your tutorial without any problems. However, now when I plug it into my computer through the USB I can’t access the android anymore. It seems to recognize the HTC One X as a CD drive. Any idea on how I can fix this? Thank you!
How the hell do i install the drivers? i downloaded them but there is no exe or anything what do i do with it? how do i install the driver this is driving me crazy!!!! and does all this apply if i have official jelly bean installed on my phone?
Go to device manager…. click update driver… browse to folder where drivers are downloaded and install
Does this method work on the European quad core HTC One X? The fact that theres noone on the net thats tried it on a European One X is hard to believe!
PLEASE HELP 🙁 Thanks!
I can get as far as the “Getting CID (waiting for device)” but then nothing happens, what should i do?
I was wondering if this method works for the htc one x + international version
I was wondering is this method will work on my AT&T one x+ as well.
this method worked for me but i screwed up and now im boot looping could someone help plz!!Stock system.img and boot_signed.img 2.20 files would be appreciated.
I following all the steps but never get the CID 111111 response, just CID has already been changed! statement. Then when running fastboot oem get_identifier_token just hangs at “waiting for device”
I just lost all my contacts and sms information, is there any way to recover this? I tried data recovery software, but I cant seem to identify what file holds the contacts and sms info.
I keep getting stuck at sending “unlocktoken” (0 KB)… Can anyone help me?
I cant download the files. i’ve unlocked the bootloader but i don’t have the revcovery image to go any further! why is the file not downloadable? why no mirror?
Ok, Googled for another one of your files found the url for the mirrors. downloaded, installed, rooted! All Good!
i must be a super noob at this but i downloaded the HTC drivers but im not quite sure how to install? not sure exactly what to do with it
will this root method work on the htc one s? ive been searching for a non complicated s-off and root for my one s and nobody has it laid out so plain like max does. please help???
How long it takes to receive the unlock bin??????
I have gotten as far as getting the CID changed and giving the token to the HTCdev.com. I haven’t received the email from them. Does anyone know how long it takes for them to get back to you?
Thanks in advance!

I got my Cid changed and successfully submitted my unlock token. I put the unlock token in the place as shown in the video. When i type the command fastboot unlocktoken unlock_code.bin into my command prompt and hit enter, it comes up as ‘fastboot’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I don’t know how to get around this, is any one having the same problem? I could really use some help.

I finally got through everything after installing HTC sync manger for the drivers. However, I now cant install a single custom rom. I’ve been on most forums and have followed all the steps but I keep on getting a message when installing the rom that the MD5 file was not found and that it was skipping MD5 file.

Will you make a video showing how to S-Off the AT&T HTC One X?
Can you make a video for the htc one xl 3.18
The link above:
Download HTC One X drivers for Windows 32-bit
does not work. I have tryed it several times now but it does not go anywhere.
Could you consider include them in the Download OneXRootATTNew.zip instead?
Hello, I unlock my bootloader. I downloaded driver and .zip file. I clicked runme but it didn’t root. It says didn’t copied Supersu. Help me pleasee. I’m from Azerbaijan I’ve at&t Htc one X.
hi zedo… 1.19.502??? it works?
I figured out one issue I had after realizing I had 2.20 (and stopped BlueStacks lol)
I have the CID set to all 1’s
But I cant move on because when the phone boots into the loader windows connects with “unknown USB device” and any attempt to try and connect to the phone via USB is met with the message in the command prompt..
Any thoughts?
hi maxx
i tried rooting my htc one x (at&t ) on 2.20 firmware running ics on it, through your new root method.
i have installed all the drivers on my pc and then i have started rooting it
at the first i watched your video and i did what it told
i started run.bat file and then followed the on screen instructions and then after doing both the backups it told me that my phone will reboot into boot loader mode but my phone didnt rebooted and command promt it stuck on {Getting into boot loader mode}. i have tried the same procedure on 3 different PC’s , i am using windows.
Please help me and get back to me as soon as possible.

I opened settings and I do not have a developer options button. I’ve looked everywhere. I can not find this button. Any ideas?
Apparently the latest update for HTC One X takes away developer options so you have to put it back on there. This video explains. Gotta love the internet.
