So I bought this phone a while ago and I want to install apps, that require root access like Titanium backpack and such. I tried a lot of rooting techniques on XDA, but none of them worked for me. So, all of you HOX+ users, what root did you use and does it work properly? Thank you in advance.
AW: [Q] What is the best root for HOX+.
use the toolkit for HOX+
I just installed a custom rom. Root comes with them.

OK, I found the tool and it seems good. But do I have to do something additional, like unlock the bootloader or something.

Yup. Unlock the bootloader.

Read the Original Post very carefully. All the information you need is there and withing the Toolkit. Trust me.

Greetings,
long story short I was doing some test on ROMs went to CM7 and other version then blackout ICS but all fails with me since CM doesn't have Internet-pass through and BK ICS has hotspot and VoIP problems + some lacking, so I went back to RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_ARA_3.13.415.2_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_227469_signed
which made me lose my root but comes with Android version 2.3.5, for rooting it tired to use SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse , unlook root 2.4.2 and finaly aahk-11092012, the first 2 didn't work out with, on the other hand AAHK made it root..etc but with a cost that have to downgrade to 2.3.3, so I'm back to square one is how to root 2.3.5 without down grading?
I believe i have something missing and I don't know what it it.
I have read these before posting

Just to let you know once again this is the HTC legend forum you wont find answers for any other phone unless someone who uses the legend forum also has the same phone as you, so you are better off asking your question in the correct forum.

Hello all, new to the HOX+ from AT&T, but I noticed after rooting and unlocking, I lost the system apps such as flashlight and calculator. Can anyone possibly post them here? Or tell me how to find them?

You can install a Rom.

You can also get those apps back by flashing an RUU.

Yes you are right, BUT he must locked his phone to be able flashing the RUU, and then if he went to re-unlocked he will suffer the same problem .
So installing the missed app separately is the only safe solution.
Thanks

Can we use the HTC One section as well? Or are we limited to just the roms in the at&t forum? Thanks.

With an avatar like that, there are no limits:laugh:
For real though, it's all up to you and what you want to do. Roms from both will work, flash them at will and see what works best for you. There will be differences in some vs others, radio, firmware, etc..., but it's all good. S-off will give you unlimited opportunities. Happy endeavors.
One more thing. Are root manuals and other guides apply as well. Such as rooting and s off? It's kinda confusing to me. Thanks for the reply.

It doesn't really matter where you post. Most of these threads support both US Carriers and International versions of the HTC One

Unlock is done via www.htcdev.com, and S-Off is done via RR. Just make SURE you use the right version of RumRunner. It MUST match, or you will get into trouble quick. Now, here is the interesting part. You must be unlocked to use Rumrunner, but once you S-Off, you will be locked again. To do certain things you will need to re-run the unlock.bin, and re-unlock. Not a big deal, but just to let you know.
Well. Today I decided that rooting and flashing my flyer would be a good idea. So I decided to go to the dev site, and all I got was error 173. Which I ended up with, no matter how I many times I tried.
My flyer is currently running 3.2.1, stock hc, locked , and has s-on. I'll find the build number and the rest later. But I've spend 7 hours looking through various topics on downgrading, unlocking, and rooting, but it all stops at HTC dev, and I the only other way to unlock bootloader seems a bit too advanced for me. So, please guys, I really need a piece of advice, or help, and I shall be grateful. Contacting HTC on their Facebook, and on their Twitter, hasn't helped so far.
What is the best way to unlock the bootloader? Except htc dev ? And rooting it?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, except my h boot number ends on 11 and revolutionary tells me that it's not supported at this time.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
If the number is lower than 1.10.0000 or 1.11.0003 then do the update via OTA above, if you have the above you need to do down.
Be the full number.
Exactly. I just got contacted by htc about it. They don't know why it isn't working either. In order to downgrade my h boot, I need to have an unlocked bootloader or root, ne?

Hi everyone,
I have used the forums in the past to root my old s3 and before that to root/add a custom rom to an old HTC Aria so I do have a little experience with modifying phones. I recently got the HTC m8 (att version) and was holding off on doing anything to it until the EPS got added. Since the update today, EPS is currently live on my phone. How would I go about rooting it now? I saw a post about the old root methods, but will they still work with the new update? I basically want to root my phone so that I can uninstall any bloatware. I know I can disable it but would prefer to get it off completely. On my s3 I also used an app to prevent certain apps that I periodically used from automatically starting up. Would rooting be my best option? I have read up a little on the S-off, and I don't believe I need to do this to uninstall bloatware, but please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks in advance for any advice.
You may just wanna boot loader unlock and flash twrp first in order to keep that full stock image. So once you start uninstalling things you don't run into trouble. Also it's the easiest method to root (after fastboot flashing twrp 2.7.0.2, you can flash supersu 1.94 via recovery and your good to go. Stock backup with root

Old root methods worked for me, so unlocking the boot loader, flashing TWRP, then flashing supersu will work.

If you're already S-Off, then the update can't do anything about it.
If you're S-On, and firewater was patched in the update, then you shouldn't be able to S-Off (unless another exploit is found). Thing is, I don't think anyone who's S-On has updated yet to test firewater. I will when I get my replacement, but I won't have that for days.

SWEET! Looks like AT&T was either too lazy or didn't have enough time to have HTC patch it (betting on former), either way we still have the ability to S-Off.
Guess I'll be able to give another confirmation in a few days.

Why not s-off before updating? As you already said, this is always going to be the safer route.

With my luck, I'll somehow get the one M8 that was updated prior to shipping.
If it's not updated, I'll definitely S-Off before that, but I was also wondering for people who get M8s with 1.58.502.1 on the phone from the factory.

Some people are having issues with the OTA update after they S-OFF. About 30-40% through the update process, their phone freezes with a red exclamation point on the screen. Then again, it works for others, so I'm not really sure what's causing the issue.
