No comments

Apparently, there are available some updates for the HTC One X or HTC One XL that bring some good stuff which improving the features and performance. To get this update, the owners of the phone should root their devices first, just like the old method. Luckily, a one-click exploit to root phones that have upgraded to software version 1.85 is here to help users easily root their devices again.


XDA Developers member designgears found a way to root the AT&T One X or HTC One XL on the 1.85 update. Ironically, it works by using the AT&T servers to perform the rooting which makes it relatively unstable. The method may stop working when AT&T detects what is happening, so you have to be really quick in doing it. In the meantime, it’s the best method available to root your phone if it already has software version 1.85.

If you badly want to root your device for you to install a ROM then we suggest that you try this. It still works and it’s worth a try.

Requirements
  • HTC One X or HTC One XL version 1.85
  • Download and install HTCDrivers3.0.0.007.exe (13.1 MB) No need to install the drivers if you have HTC Sync installed. 
  • Disable security tools on your computer.
  • You should connect your phone in “Charge Only” via the USB cable.
  • Backup all personal data on your phone
  • Make sure that the battery has at least 70% power to avoid interruption due to power loss.

  • Go to the folder where you extracted 185_root_script.zip and double-click on the r00t.bat file and follow the on-screen instructions to root your phone.
NOTE: If you’re stuck at the “waiting for device to reboot” message or you got the error “/data/local.prop was not created, exit the script, try again,” you will need to disconnect your phone, reboot it, and change the date two days forward. Reboot your phone and repeat step 3 and step 4.
