Which method are you using? I thought the one click method was still good. if so, you may want to try that.

They the method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709424 it is the easiest one.

OK. Make sure you have the USB drivers for your phone if you don't have them. XDA developers will have a link to it. As you said download the link, un zip the file, then connect your phone and set up as charge only then debugging on. Run the Root batch file. Once the script is running it will ask you to check for updates. Once it does that the script will keep on running and your phone will reboot at least twice. IF it fails during the check for updates then disconnect your phone, move the date forward by a couple of days and re-start the phone after that start the process from the beginning. One big note: one the rooting is done go to your app drawer and look for the super user app. You will notice it right away. Open the app and it will ask you to update the binary file. Click OK. Make sure you do that before you do anything else that requires root access. Profit!

i may have messed up.. when i go into supersu it says"there is no su binary installed, and supersu cannot install it. this is a problem!" what do i do? o.o

 

[rdxhd]

You may want to ask in XDA developers what went wrong but I would un-install and the re-install supersu. You can find the app in the play store. don't do this as you may lose root access. let me do some more research.

never mind i just went ahead and installed it all again and it works now. lol

I am glad it worked. Now you can install Titanium Backup or anything else that you may want that needs root access. Good Luck!

now im stuck on unlocking the bootloader lol.any help?

Here is the best explanation I can find. One click method How To: Unlock AT&T One X Bootloader - BriefMobile

 

[xXBLACKBERRYXx5]

im doing that butim stuck on the whole unlock_code.bin part. when i put it into the spoof-cid it just seems like its starting the process all over.

 

[rdxhd]

did you close the script? I believe you need to let it be open the whole time.

 

[xXBLACKBERRYXx5]

i brought it back up but all its saying is restarting adb and its been that way for a couple minutes.

 

[xXBLACKBERRYXx5]

should i make sure i have sdk installed?

 

[rdxhd]

That's very strange. I am stumped. Maybe you have to re-start the process.

 

[rdxhd]

should i make sure i have sdk installed?

I don't think you need the SDK. I did not need it when I unlocked the bootloader.

 

[xXBLACKBERRYXx5]

hmmm

 

[xXBLACKBERRYXx5]

ok i managed to do it lol. but all my apps are deleted. is that normal?

 

[rdxhd]

Yes that's normal. Now you need to flash a recovery tool if you want to flash ROMs and MODs. Moving forward you can use Titanium Backup to back up all your data as you move from ROM to ROM.

 

[xXBLACKBERRYXx5]

whats the best one for that?
