Hey guys, you probably heard the update to Sense 5 is coming out soon. Here are some things you should be aware of.


If you are planning to mod the phone (Rooting, unlocking the bootloader, etc) I suggest you stay on Android 4.1.1 and do it now as we are not sure if any known methods currently in use will work with the 4.2.2 update.


If you aren't, then update away and I'm sure a method will come out eventually.


That's just my two cents... ._.

Inclined to agree. At least with rooting you can flash a custom ROM and probably be more up to date that accepting the OTA.

Exactly my point. I'm running 4.4.2 (just shows how slow AT&T and HTC are), and there's so much more to explore! I don't think I would ever go back to an AT&T update. Maybe I'll come up with a root method for people, who knows . I just wanted to point this out to people that you could do it now or wait a long time until someone develops a root method again.

I guess it depends on your level of patience :P

I am planning on rooting this week and my phone just prompted me to update, I postponed it but there was no "do not update" option. Is there any way I can disable this or will it just keep notifying?

I do not think so.

Well, that's going to get annoying, popping up every 8 hours. I'm hoping for that EZToolkit of yours to come out soon, since it's so nice and quick compared to the other methods I've been researching. If you're having problems with hosting again you should make a torrent.

Haha, I'm working on my website. I need to get that done before I can put up a download link.

Hey Wizzrah

I rooted by AT&T HTC one x using your guidelines and also did S OFF & CID 11111111. It was really helpful. I need to unroot my phone now due to my employer policies.

Do you have any method or suggestions?

[yarch]

Well, damn. It's going to force me to run the update in 8 hours, said I can't postpone it anymore. Stupid-*** ATT software

Turn off the phone! Lol see what it does.

I sacrificed some sleep this morning and rooted it with Hasoon2000's toolkit. Now I'll be tired for the rest of the day but at least I've got root.

DO NOT take this update if you want root, s-off,etc!!! I have this odd routine where every so often, I go back stock. Not just stock rom, s-on, stock CID etc. took the 5.18 update. Been searching for a week or so no luck, AT&T write protected the partition with CID in it! No super CID, no bootloader unlock, nothing! Guess it is time to trade to a galaxy s 3, getting tired of htc locking me out of my own phone! The inspire was worse!!
Edit: if you are not OCD like me and keep super CID and s-off, it will stick through update. At least that is what I read on xda.

There are apps that hide root for this very reason. Found it by accident, otherwise I would link it for you! Sorry!

Just go to the SuperSU app and select unroot from the settings.

I warned people of this.
