[Q] Can you root a Desire X on 4.1 stock? - HTC Desire X

I have searched for hours and still didn't found the answer.
Can you root it on JB or do you must have ICS to root it?

You can root JB also. Just you must have fixed nexus recovery.

Rooting 4.1.1

Hi,
I somehow cocked up the regain root from partial root method posted on here and can no longer get into the '#" command in an adb shell session. Is there anyway to root 4.1.1 both directly through Jellybean or via downgrading to ICS and then getting my partial root back when I re-upgrade or am I completely screwed?
Thanks.

This question has been answered a lot. There is no way to root Jelly Bean without unlocking or having a backup of your root.
So there's no way to downgrade either?

not without shipping to Asus warranty depot.
Urgh, thanks. I have to send it in for a faulty camera so do you just ask in the RMA request email? It's made more annoying by the fact I had partial root .

I would ask during your initial query, tell them you arent happy with the upgrade and want to downgrade. You will probably still have a JB bootloader though, just ICS ROM.
I never went through with it. I called support asking for a way to downgrade and they told me the only way was to send it in and get it downgraded.

Will this allow you to downgrade to a lower version of ICS or will you still get denied permission when trying?
Thanks for the clarification .

The factor restricting the downgrade currently is the bootloader. I don't expect ASUS to downgrade that, rather just the OS. I could be wrong. But if they send you back a tablet with ICS on it you can root and preserve with OTA on upgrade.

the first step is to make a cwm recovery work and had no luck but since I'm not an expert in programming
but getting cwm may compile a rom for testing
q I am trying now is to get the recovery that brings the tablet and have someone help me to place you modify the backup and restore options

[Q]Root for XT910 JB?

Is there currently any way to gain root access on JB for 672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU?
If not, is anyone known to be working on it?

I would also be very grateful!!
I unrooted because I was afraid that it would conflict with OTA (before the upgrade instructions were published).:crying:

I have tried a lot of root tool, but it still doesnt work. So all we have to do is wait for the developers to make a it
Hit the 'thanks' button if it helps
I just updated to EU retail and I'm in the same situation. None root tool worked
For XT910 devices there is currently no way to get root. It is only possible for XT912 devices.
To gain root access during JB update you should have protect root with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. That works.

That would have worked. We know that ...
Those who did not protect root, just hope that someone can help to gain root again.

Well. I've updated from nonEFIGSRetail.en.EU to Retail.en.EU using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2194825. Root did not survive this.
Maybe there is some more root user friendly process, but it is not easy to find the correct one.

Damn! Now I can't restore all my apps and data using Titanium Backup. I did try the method from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710871
...and it did say success, but during the process it came up with "system/bin/sh su not found" and TB says it has no root access. It worked when I was on ICS, but now I am on JB 4.1.2 System Version 982.124.14.XT910.Retail.en.AU. Anybody with bright ideas on how to gain root access again would be much appreciated!
?
I'm on JB with my XT910 and it's rooted, in fact I used the method from the Eternity project (it's the easiest way from my viewpoint)...

Actually, there is a way, but only if you aren't on the JB bootloader. When I wrote my comment, I thought, you just have to flash again (also with JB bootloader). In the meantime, I learned that it seems to be prevented to switch to a lower version.
Sorry for any confusion...

Thx for the hint. I (personally) don't need root, but it would be interesting to read. I'm on Gentoo, so should be ok. Could you post the link? I know, I'm lazy
Found it The exploit is an ELF, but it should be possible (in principle) to create a Windows binary also, shouldn't it?

anyone can do it they just need a live cd and its just a case of simple copy n paste in terminal and follow the instructions and they are done. they could even use a usb stick with say ubuntu installed on it.
i did this with a live cd on my laptop to see if it worked and it did, my main pc is ubuntu anyway but a friend was too scared to try it on his laptop with live cd so i did it to show him and he rooted his very quickly

[Q] [Help] Rooting SG2 HD Lte (Bell) Jelly Bean

Good day all,
I know pretty much the basics how to root a phone - My question is; Since the newly update of Jelly Bean on my Bell Samsung Galaxy S2 HD Lte, it seems like I can only find the ICS Root zip. That being said, I still manage to root my phone but with ICS. Somehow it worked.... Any available Root for the new upgrade to Jelly Bean ? Believe me, I've been looking for an hour yesterday online and no luck.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Anyone ?
have u tried by using flashing method to upgrade the build system?

thanks for the reply - I'm not that technically inclined enough to know what you're talking about. All I know is that I rooted my phone with a zip that had _ics.zip. I'm currently running 4.1.2 Jelly Bean but somehow the root worked. But I'd feel better if there's a version that had the jelly bean support root. Sorry if I'm not making much sense here.
I believe that there might be a rooter directly for JB user. Especially u use Samsung tab. Try to find it out in sub forum of XDA about Official info of Samsung

[Q] Need help re-rooting my One

I recently flashed a ROM on my phone that was the new 4.3 stock HTC Sense 5. However, it unrooted my phone. Can I use an older root method still? OR do I need a new one? If so, where?
Thanks for all and any answers!
P.S. I already tried searching the forums to no avail.
