I made a mistake not a big deal get over it
..just wondering why some people want to do all this custom stuff to their tablet like installing a custom recovery to flash ROMs/etc, but don't want to root the device..? Huh, I don't get it. Rooting is pretty harmless. Please no offense to the OP, I'm just curious is all. The first thing I do is give myself root access then I start thinking about what I want to do with my device

Having actually read the OP, I think his issue is that he is on .21 for which there currently IS no root procedure, and he wants to know how, in the absence of root, he can flash recovery so that (perhaps) he can install a ROM which is rooted.

I used the Asus unlock tool, then I flashed the ClockWork Recovery Official "TOUCH" recovery v5.8.1.8,
Cleaned, wiped everything, and formated...
Then installed
[ROM] [04/11/12] Primalicious 9.4.2.21 to get back on ICS .21
So playing with it now.....so to speak
Hello there. I've got a new HTC ChaCha, the only problem is that its internal memory is 150 MB.
This sucks. I've not been able to find a way to do it as stuff that are compatible with it are really few. I'm really new to Android. I've got the phone for only 2 days. It's true that I adore it, but that memory problem really sucks.
I've seen that there's a way to do so through rooting. Is this the only way to do so? And if that's true, then how?
My carrier is Vodafone by the way. It's unlocked but not rooted.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

The telnet thing didn't work. I'm trying z4root now but it's just stuck at "Running exploit in order to obtain root access...". The rotating thing is really buggy.

Find the HTC ChaCha section in the forums, since this is a HTC phone the bootloader has been locked down.
So if you want root you must unlock this bootloader

More information:
Android Version: 2.3.5
Software Version: 1.57.415.4
EDIT: @Frank, Yea I saw that. Someone told me that if it's SIM Unlocked I can download any RUU. I don't know which one to download.
Shall a mod move the topic please to the HTC section then?
A friend helped me with this ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449681 ) topic and I successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. Superuser though says No apps on superuser list. BusyBox doesn't successfully install when I press the install button at the app (not the market), and Titanium Backup doesn't start. I tried using a terminal with su, su is not found.
Now I'm stuck with recovery. I do that fastboot thing, then go to bootloader menu, choose recovery, and I'm stuck forever at the HTC logo...
I've unlocked the bootloader and tried to root it. I've had a problem though as it's S-ON although any SIM works with it. I don't know how to resolve this...

hi
i have just got this phone
android : 4.0.4
Sense : 4.1
Software Version : 2.13.651.1.710RD
SDK API : 4.24
baseband : 1.12.11.0809
build : 2.13.651.1.CL99866
kernel : 3.0.8-01680-gb6402b4
and the immediate thing i noticed is how much low usable memory it has
so clearly i wanna install custom roms on this phone
but regAWMOD method isnt working at all , never goes beyond first step.
OR
i can live with just rooting and completely debloating the stock romn as much as possible.
Plz consider me a total noob as i am by and large from samsung ;P so fastboot , bootloaders and stuff is uknown to me
so now i want to either debloat the stock rom or root it with some simple method and may be unlock the bootloader as well, on my own tried the search button but stuff seemed pretty confusing to me as this is my First HTC
any help would be appreciated.
thanks

You can try the regaw mod it's kinda hit and miss with the software version you have It's all automated and that's what I used but like I said it was a while ago

Thanks mate
got it unlocked by downloading the sdk anew
i feel the three files needed in unlocking are either outdated or somehow corrupt thats why the process was failing initially when i was using files from regaws application.
so now i am unlocked
what next kind sir !!!

Hi,
i searched everywhere couldn't find anything about the AT&T verison of HTC One X+ and CM10
Is there a way to root the ATT version and install CM10 on it???
Read only about the international version yet. Don't want to brick my new phone.
Thanks.
Nope, there's still a bit of a wait on CM10/ASOP for AT&T/TELUS users. When a usable version is ready, it'll probably be here with [AT&T/TELUS] in the title.
damm was so hoping to change my devices from s3 to htc thanks mate.
Currently using the cm10.1 for s3 expermintal. i think when nightly last night.
thanks mate

So, the experimital CM10.1 is running on your HTC One X+. I have the same phone and I have unlocked it from HTC's web site. I'm a noob and don't know a lot about this stuff. Still learning. Should I try any mod or wait? I really want to get the AT&T crud off of my phone. Like I said, my phone is unlocked now.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
There are several non experimental roms you can install already just to get rid of the at&t stuff. Also you could root it and use titanium backup or root uninstaller or something to just get rid of unneeded stuff. If it were me, I would not DARE try anything experimental with my new phone, especially something cm10 related because pretty much all the devs have said there is nothing ready yet on that avenue.

OK, I'm new here and I really thank you all for any advise. I will read on and try to find some of these existing ROM's. This is probably a REALLY big noob question. If my phone is unlocked, does that mean it is rooted?
BTW, I also thank you for the advise on not using any experimental roms. I won't touch unless I know for sure. This new phone is a gem and I don't want to screw it up.

No!
Unlock is unlock and root is root
Indeed. You have unlocked the bootloader which is step 1. Now you need to root which is step 2. There is an all in one tool in the android development forum you can use to root. That might be the easiest way to go. Once you are rooted you can get root uninstaller for free from the play store or titanium backup. Titanium is probably better choice there. You could also flash a rom through recovery that is already rooted but most of those require you flash the kernel seperatly so if you are.very new i probably wouldnt do that just yet. Read up on the process first. Hope that helps.

HTC One X+ unlock vs root

No!
Unlock is unlock and root is root
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks! My problem is this..... I used the HTC step by step from http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/how-to-root-one-x/
I got through the step where the instructions say to Mark - Right Click Copy - Paste into the HTCDev.com website
I then followed the instructions on through until the phone was unlocked.
At step 39 the instructions say to -
Reboot your phone into Fastboot mode and type the following in command prompt:and
type and execute at the cmd prompt -
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img
OK, I finished these steps and am now stuck at step 40.
I then copied the CWN-SuperSU-v.0.87.zip file to the root of my phone storage
The phone won't boot in to recovery at all
What is the CWN-SuperSU-v.0.87.zip file for and do I need to complete the step by rebooting using it in recovery mode? It will not boot in to recovery anyway.
So my phone was wiped and unlocked but back to the original AT&T build and I don't understand where I pick up in the process.
This is the point where I get confused. I research and read everywhere too. I know my phone is unlocked for sure. It's not bricked yet. :fingers-crossed:
I don't know where I pick back up with the process using some of the recommendations you guys have given me.

How difficult is it to gain root access on the HTC One? I have had my One for a while, and now I want to gain root access. I don't care about installing a custom rom, right now. But I would like root so that I can run a few apps that I have seen, but they require root.
I read somewhere that HTC will unlock the bootloader for you. Does that unlocking of the boot loader, give me root, or are there more steps in the process?

I'm Not here to bash or make you mad.... but your question is very bland .... and asking about the most covered topic possibly covered on any forum, and there's tons of threads and info on how to root m7.
Id at least first read some.... and then if u can't figure it out come back with ?'s
Your just gonna get flamed asking such a thing , and probably why noone has replied.And they say here in xda that if u don't try .....know how ...or havent the first clue about root ,you probably shouldn't be rooting .
Tip. Use hasoons2000 all in one tool kit to root

Look for the All in one tool. You have to flash a custom recovery to get root. That means no more OTA updates.
And yes, this has been extensively covered in the forums. But I know it is a bit hard to search for noobs.
