Problems rooting the official JB - HTC Desire X

Hello everyone!
First of all , I wanna say hi to all the Desire X community members! I will be sticking around here for a while from now on =D (coming from the SGM2 forums) .
Now for the problem :
Yesterday I bought a brand new HTC Desire X , and since I wanted to get rid of some of the bloatware it came with , I decided to root it .
But before doing anything funny with it , I've updated it to the latest available OTA , which is running 4.1.1 JB (it came with ICS) . After that , I managed to unlock the bootloader , I flashed this recovery and I tried flashing SU from it (the 3.1.3 arm signed one) . Everything seemed to have gone fine , the app was installed , but unfortunately when entering it , it says the su binary is outdated or something like that . Also , no apps can gain root access . I then uninstalled it and flashed the latest version of SuperSU , but again , this one was saying my phone is missing the su binary . I also tried SU 3.2 and the Play Store version of SuperSU , but the same problem occured unfortunately .
I've read all the major guides on the forums but have seen no one having this problem . Should I have rooted it while on ICS ? And if yes , can I keep the root after updating to JB ?
Thanks for your help and have a good day!

Haha , worked like a charm , thanks alot!
I was really looking for a TWRP version for JB Desire X .
Also , didn't know you need different recoveries for different OS versions - I'm comming from the simplicity of a low-end Samsung phone so yea xD Thanks for the tip mate ! ^^ .

It's because the 4.1 partition table is different, the recovery doesn't know where /system is...

I still can't root the phone i have installed twrp 2.4.4.0 but what to do next? I tried to Perm root (doesnť work). Does someone know where is the problem?

OTA for (rooted , modem modified) stock ICS

Hi everybody .. need some explanation about OTA update for rooted SGS2 now I heard 4.0.4 is beeing available for Russian and English users ..
1) first OTA update is what we do when we make a sotftware update in "about the phone" menu ?? However "manual update" stands for update via kies am I wright?
2) I know that updating a stock ''rooted'' firware is not possible via kies .. Is it possible via OTA ??
3) For rooted AND modem modified stock ICS is OTA update possible?
(( Im on LPG stock with syiah 3.4 kernel and XXKI4 modem (has better network reception than XXLPX original modem in my region)))
PS: I have looked all the afternoon for this in other forums and looked for "OTA , rooted" in XDA before i post so hope nobody tells me i'm a lazy stupid
THANKS for helping guys
forgot this...
4) Does anybody know wich nordic firmware is beeing updated to 4.0.4 ?? LPG or LPD or other one?
More than 100 views and no reply ,though it is a yes or no question ! So I guess not too many people have the answer i'm not the only noob here
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp
Hiii ! looks like nobody knows the answer !!! I posted in several other forums but it looked like i was talking japaneese :crying:
If you're trying to update to ics, go to www.sammobile.com, download the firmware you want and flash through odin. i've heard a lot of people having trouble with OTA updates recently
Thanks man ,, yes I have seen some aborted OTA updates for no reason in some forums too .. I thought that came from root or modified modem or something like that and I posted here to get sure .
On the other hand flashing the leaked ROMs may lead to hard brick cause i ve got the EMMC bug
So I think Im going to wait for other 4.0.4 without brick risk !! Or why not a JB update (for god sake samsung or this will be my last corean device ever :crying

Have you thought about rooting your device and trying JB now? RootBox has a really good version of it, and its relatively stable

I'm root already ,, I was waiting for stable versions now you told me this I will test it .. And i mean only test cause I never found as usefull as touchwizz interface in stock ! I have hundred apps and need folders to get them sorted otherwise I will get lost ! SGS3 Touchwizz proposed on most recent roms has a little lag in unlimited scroll ! Other launchers don't give a good alternative :crying: I don't know why all people hate TW so much ! this haterness looks like a contagious disease ...

Any help much appreciated :)

Hi guys,
Long story short had a gs2 around 2 years back loved it rooted unlocked and custom romed it etc great, ended up selling and now got a nexus 4 which to me is growing on me slowly!!.
Anyways bought a new gs2 for my wife in white as she fancied it, arrived today its branded to orange and its the i9100p version.
Now I cant remember how I went about doing all mine, and before I get hammered I have done some searching and reading but can't find much to do with the p version?, I don't know how significant that is.
I basically want to:
1. Root - Easiest method
2. Free Unlock - hopefully unlock on play will work but any suggestions welcome
3. Install latest recovery, don't know if CWM or TWRP is best
4. Finally install best battery/performance kernel and rom
I've already downloaded Doomlord's script version 4 for rooting but don't know if a it will work or b if it will mess up the phone as its P version.
I've also downloaded RR_JB V3.1.3 rom as that seems very customisable, installs with aroma which I like and also seems v popular, again don't know if this compatible, I may be making a big deal of the p version issue and everything may work but would like some help from the more experienced guys before I get to work BTW its also running 4.0.4 ICS.
Any help or pointing in the right direction would be great.
Thanks

A good starting point for this S2 variant is HERE(Australian S2 help guide). A lot of your questions will be answered there, just have a good read. The "T" version has the same basic hardware and can run the same roms as the international version. Also there is a cwm that is touch: Philz. Unfortunately both philz and cwm are no longer being updated, although at the moment the latest versions are still good.
hey bro can u help me

theres no root, recovery so definately no custom roms. i dont think theres that much interest in the phone for anyone to take the time to develop for it. i got one given to mess around with and yulong/vodafone have crippled the phone , its got the most basic stock recovery without even sideload option and fastboot is useless, all it says is fastboot mode with no options to do anything, also the bootloader is locked tight and firmware is cpb, it would take someone special to crack this phone.
Just to clarify if your running android 4.4.2 it can be rooted but 4.4.4 doesnt root on this phone or the 890n version.
I have android 4.4.2 and I want to update it to 4.4.4. Is there any way to do that?

Hi, I have a Vodafone smart 4 turbo. Could ypo please send me a link to the ported CWM.
need 890n stock firmware
First of all hello to everyone now down to the point i messed up an 890n vodafone smart 4 turbo 4.4.4 and i cannot find the stock firmware anywhere can anybody help me with this i also notice that the bootloader is nice and tighty so if i found the stock firmware how could i introduce it into the device please help me thank very much
=o}
Just to confirm Kingoroot app works on 4.4.4 . The SU app also gives option now to delete ALL system apps, so do your homework.
Doing a (' site:qualcomm.com ' ) search for any of their apps is very illuminating.
I installed a root file explorer and have took out Bloatware & stuff I don't use...basically turned it into an ipod without Music functionallity, LOL.
Coolpad apps are getting themselves a bad name for surveillance & malware type actions, so beware.

Okay so um, im not exactly what you would call "good" when it comes to rooting android, and ive had the Vodafone 890N that came stock with a KitKat 4.4.4 Rom and Ive had the phone for 11 months and Just recently tried to root it, most ways i tried failed miserably but my friend got the same phone and found this exe file that he said worked for him... but it didnt, but he sent it to me and it worked for me 1st try so now i have a Vodafone 890N running 4.4.4 and its rooted. The name of the app i used is "RootGenius_v2.3.0.exe" and its in asain. So if you do it with that, and it stops and comes up with asain writing, click the blank white button... Another way i got to work was with Kingoroot... which wasnt working 5 months ago so they must've either updated it or i just got lucky
re.root
Noticed Kingo used the wifi quite a bit during the root.
They're basically tagging onto the gmscore playstore app to gain SU now.
Hi guys, can you upload de files to upgrade my Smart 4 Turbo to 4.4.4 Custom Google Rom? I've tried to use the links in the androidpt website but they are all down.
I've found a way to flash zips on to the 890N. Use KingRoot to root it. Get SuperSume from the Play Store (or internet for KingRoot 4.x) and use it. Then, download FlashFire, and use that to flash stuff

[Need Help] Looking to get a CWM and get the Res Remix 6.0.1 ROM

Hi all
Thanks for taking a look at my thread
To give you an idea , im currently running on stock 4.1.2 Jellybean with stock recovery with root access (via Framaroot apk) , a few months ago i used to run CM 10.1 with Philz Touch but then reverted back to stock
Recently i have looked up tutorials on here and on youtube and there seems to be so many factors when it comes to getting the right files or using the right method (partitionining with a partition file - installing a custom ISOREC-compatible kernel and special TWRP version - its all so confusing compared to what i did in the past ( using the default CM windows installer )
Talking about CM - it actually didnt give me the option for my carrier as im from the UK and i think it installed the US version
Any trusted and reliable guide would be much appreciated because i see so many different things online that it confuses the s*** out of me :laugh:
Kind Regards
AndroidMarsh
