Re: AT&T One X Root, Boot unlock, S-off on the Jellybean 3.18 OTA Update
1 and 2. Correct, you have to be in fast boot. I will make that clear in the guide. Android SDK can come in handy but sure.
3.It should say tampered after you run the supercid script. The script is still iffy at the moment. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
4.I had no problems using both but only one at a time.
5.Like I said, its iffy right now.
6.I don't use android apps on my PC.
7.Yes. It is recommended to keep the drivers but uninstall HTC sync.
8.Basically what you do in the platform tools folder.
9. This is absolutely necessary.
10. Some ROMs claim s-off is not required, but I always say to not flash a ROM without S-OFF.
Thank you for your input and I'm glad I could help.

Hey Wizzrah,
Good Guide.. Worked with me.. Though with some modifications..
For users rooting first time...
1) When you get the TokenID.. Let the device be the BootLoader Mode to execute the next step.. Dont Restart the device..
For Flashing the Unlock_Code.bin... (If the device is on.. Boot into Bootloader ) (Otherwise it will show the message
2) Rather than downloading the Android SDK.. (A 460MB Download) ... Download ADB Tools to run ADB and Fastboot Command..
You can find the link on XDA Forums.. to download the ADB Tools..
3) Check your device to show ***TAMPERED*** in the Bootloader before flashing Unlock_code.bin ... (Its Compulsory | Without that dont flash Unlock_code.bin)
4) Using both SuperCID Script and Hasoon2000 Toolkit together can give errors like (adb server out of date killing)
---- This is because both have adb.. and multiple instances of ADB are not supported.. SO use ONE AT A TIME.. If you want to use another close one and then start other..
5) It worked for me with Motochopper exploit...
6) Close Bluestacks if already installed... It is an android Emulator so can interrupt the process of rooting..
7) Most Important --> Uninstall HTC Sync Manager (Not HTC Drivers)
8) For Flashing the recovery : Put the recovery image in the ADB Tools Folder and give command "fastboot flash recovery .img
9) Take Nandroid Backup before flashing any ROMS..
10) To use Rooted Apps you dont need a S-OFF , But for installing ROMS we need S-OFF as many developers have developed ROMS to work with S-OFF..
Thanks Wizzrah.. Awesome Guide and It helped me a LOT..
Would like to have more tutorials from you For the HOX..
