I try it and nothing. Reboots and installs super user but root doesn't work. This is the 1.85 root method. Btw my vibrate doesn't work after the update just noticed.

I really don't like the way HTC implemented it, I think the flashable mod for 1.85 was better. With the mod, the recents button became menu/settings so you can hit it while on your home screen and bring up the settings/wallpaper/etc.. dialog box. With the official HTC remap, it is only for menu so if you hit it while on a homescreen it does nothing. You still need to pull down your notifications to get into settings. Annoying.

There is an advantage to not having the Settings pop up when you hit the capacitive menu button at home screen though -- the phone doesn't accidentally change your settings while it's in your pocket.

I also have the Settings icon in one of the folders on my home screen for slightly easier access than from the notification bar.

I have used Android phones for the past 3 years and not once has that ever happened.

HTC One X has a very sensitive on/off button though and it tends to unlock by itself in my front pocket. It's a minor drawback and if I put it with the on/off button facing up, it would probably solve the problem. Although, I am used putting them upside down for easier grabbing from my pocket.

CONFIRMED upgrading to the new OTA 2.20 is safe if you already are unlocked with super cid and rooted!

First off, thanks to the brave souls that took the plunge and did the OTA and risked their setups just to share the knowledge and results with the forum. Rock on!

I've read every post in the two obvious threads on this and can't come to a definitive conclusion to this question though. I'm rooted since back on 1.73, Rootkeeper preserved for the OTA to 1.85. Never touched the bootloader. If I run the new OTA, will I lose root? Thanks again!

Any one having a problem unlocking after ruu needs to hard reset the phone. (volume down, power button for ten secs.) After an hour and a half of trying to unlock, hard resetting fixed my problem :)

    It seems AT&T is pushing out an OTA version 2.20 that is rumored to close all the loopholes we've used to unlock and root the One X.
    If you have NOT rooted and unlocked your bootloader and you want to do so don't accept the update.
    Wait until someone has gotten a hold of this version and picked it apart before installing it.

    Keep Calm and Carry On.

    CONFIRMED!

    CONFIRMED upgrading to the new OTA 2.20 is safe if you already are unlocked with super cid and rooted!

    ATT didnt change anything as far as the unlock process with a current token etc. It stuck on my first try, flashed twrp 2.1.8.1 then flashed super user in recovery

    profit. Im on 2.20 rooted unlocked etc!!!!!

    :cool:

    Yep. This place is turning into a general Android forum. All the "I'm not really into rooting" posts crack me up.

    Who said it's unrootable? It's just not rootable with the current exploit. Beaups will get it rooted, he already promised to not sleep or make love to his wife until he does.
