[ROOT] One Click HTC One X (AT&T/Rogers/Others) (Win/Mac/Linux)

Works great

Thanks for this, now to figure out how to disable the capacitive touch button lights. Anyone else have swype beta installed and found that it shrunk quite a bit after this? I sort of like it smaller, though it is kind of ugly. *shrug*

already thanked you on the OP, Kenneth, but wanted to say thanks again after getting home and having absolutely no problems with it

I am utterly and completely lost on how to root this with my Mac. I understand that I need to install ADB but I dont get anything I just read in there. Nothing works for me.

I'm not sure how to get it working on mac (I used my Windows 8 BootCamp partition) but you don't have to install ADB. ADB is included in the root.zip folder

I didn't get a superuser request shown in the picture. How can I tell for sure it's rooted?

jtwlbz · May 10, 2012

I am trying it on a PC right now (winXP) and I am getting adb errors. I installed the drivers and the phone is recognized, but I dont have adb or htcsync installed. When I run the command, I see that adb.exe pops up on the task manager but it keeps coming back every time I kill the process. I also tried typing in "adb kill-process" in cmd and it didnt work.

EDIT: SCRATCH THAT I THINK IM IN!

Don't install an app at all. The root installation in the OP will install one for you.

I was thinking not to root my ATT One X really soon... but I was tempted and I did it today.
Thanks kennethpenn.

The mac script is saved in Win format and needs a couple other tweaks... However running each command individually worked a treat for me on my MBP / AT&T HOX. Unless someone beats me to it I'll tweak the script and PM it to you kennethpenn for your approval.

"You have our gratitude"

hi, do you have the the script for the mac?

So glad I checked XDA before I shipped back my One X to AT&T

Thanks to those for the exploit and kenneth for the tool.

Yeah I should have. Took mine back thus morning lol. It's okay though. My International one should be here tomorrow and already have Roms ready to load after I root

Doesn't appear to work on mac or linux. The script is written to run from kenneth's home directory.

I could totally be wrong, but thats how it appears if the scripts are opened in text edit.

LOL, don't know much about coding, do you? The line, "kenneth=adb-linux" means that typing $kenneth on future lines is the equivelent of typing "adb-linux". I'm sure he's faster at typing his name than he is at typing adb-linux over and over.

I got this method to work on my Ubuntu Linux box. Instead of dos2linux or whatever, I just opened the linux-root.sh file, copied everything in it, and created a new root.sh file with the same contents. Then I set the permissions with "chmod a+x root.sh" and ran the file with ./root.sh. Everything worked perfectly! I think I saw that Kenneth had updated the Mac and Linux scripts, but if not, try what I did.

Thanks to everyone that made this root possible! I really appreciate it!

Oh, as far as the TAMPERED flag... could somebody try checking for the flag in between reboots so we can see what actually triggered the flag? This would need to be somebody that can root it manually, instead of letting the script run

If we find out exactly what triggers the flag, then we've got a much better shot at turning it off or avoiding it all together.

Thanks,
Billy

You may be able to use something like OTA Rootkeeper which will tell you if the device has been rooted (it would also allow you to backup the root so you keep it on the next update).

SEscobedo · May 10, 2012

Well I did the root and it rebooted around 4 times. The third time after it rebooted, the cmd prompt closed. The phone finished booting up and then rebooted a 4th time. After it rebooted again, the power to my laptop died (ugh). My phone came back up like normal. I see the SuperSU in my Apps. But when I go to install the FMRadio from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1632238, it gives me a 'application not installed' message. So I'm guessing it didn't fully root???

Awesome! works on ATT one X. Finally able to use tibu

Yze · May 10, 2012

just did it on my windows machine. worked flawlessly. opened up the app area and saw SU. opened it and it asked to update it, did so and everything is working smoothly.

ran titanium backup and it is working like a charm. froze all the bloat!

THANKS!
