2. Download the mod edit: link removed

Who do I thank?

Don't thank me. Thank sparkym3 for this exploit. Thank crisis187 for testing it out first! Thanks viperboy for the primetime tool!​

Linux/Mac untested. Should be working now. Let me know if there are problems.

Thanks Kpenn!

You are a gentleman and a scholar

Inside root.zip there's only "root.img"

 

[kennethpenn]

Now it should work. File host problem. My bad guys!

Restored with my retail RUU and ran this, worked perfectly!

Tips:

-Disable HTC Sync when you do this
-Make sure the port is open
-kill existing ADB.exe processes

otherwise you can get adb server out of date messages and a few other errors

 

[LGSilva]

If your adb is giving errors try to disable firewall - that happened to me

So this method is anonymous? As in htc wouldnt know?

Can anyone confirm this is a working root for at&t X ?

Should already do that with adb kill-server command.

Works on mine.

I thought it would too.

Kept failing. Manually ending HTC Sync and adb.exe worked though

This is not a bootloader unlock, if that's what you're thinking. It's just root access.

Linux/Mac support added, although untested. Let me know if there are problems.

Works! For ATT version

Many thanks! Super User app installed and updated itself. Reports good.

Not sluggish.

Had to stop the sync and adb in task manager to get it to work (or errors) as mentioned above. ESET antivirus wasn't a problem to the process. Windows 7 64.
