Thinking About Rooting...

For Bizzle or anybody...

I'm having a heck of a time rooting. I feel like I'm a computer literate person and actually work from home on my computer all day. I thought this whole process would be easy. However, I can't even get started. I have an AT&T One X. I've downloaded the "all in one toolkit". I do step one and restart my computer. I've restarted and gone and registered and connected my phone with USB debugging checked. But, that's as far as I can get. When I do the command "boot into bootloader" nothing happens. And, as far as I can tell, my phone is never recognized. I've tried over and over again probably 10 times over the last couple of weeks. And, I've read and read and read. I've tried not to post on here because I didn't want to get blasted for asking questions without doing all the proper prep. But, I'm stuck in the mud now and I'm not going anywhere. I really want to get this thing rooted, but I've all but given up at this point. Can someone walk me through??? And, yes...I do have the step by step up on my screen when I'm trying to do this. But, I still can't figure it out. And, just out of curiosity, what is "run xfactor exploit"? It is never talked about in the instructions as far as I can tell. Thanks in advance for any help that you can give me.

So, yeah it's a little messed up because the step by step directions are actually for the One X+, which is a slightly different process and doesn't require the Xfactor exploit.

You can watch this video and see if there is anything you are missing (you can't follow this video step for step though because it uses a different method than the all-in-one):
How to Root AT&T One X on 2.20! - YouTube

Are you connecting the phone to your PC in charge only mode?

Verify that the drivers are installed (the video shows you how about a minute in)

Make sure all of your directories have one word:
xda-developers - View Single Post - [TOOL] HTC One X (Evita) All-In-One Toolkit V2.1.1 [2-1-2013] [PERM ROOT][Noob-Proof]
Simply copying the all-in-one folder to the base level of your C:\ drive is a good way to make sure of that.
