I have seen that since the update notification for Jelly Bean has arrived, Many people (Including me) have been asking for a Tutorial to root the Jelly Bean updated HTC Desire X (HTC DX for short). In this tutorial I would like to mention the steps to root Android Jelly Bean (JB) on HTC DX.
UPDATE: Tutorial with Screenshots here : HTC Desire X Root
This was what had worked for me when I recently rooted by HTC Desire X with Jelly Bean Update, So I hope it works for you too. I am assuming you have just installed the OTA Update and are now sitting with a Stock Jelly Bean on your device.
Summary:
1. Unlock Bootloader (if not already unlocked).
2. Install Jelly Bean compatible Custom Recovery.
3. Flash Super User and Install Busy Box.
4. Enjoy.
Steps.
1. Unlocking Bootloader.
There is a fully explained thread on unlocking bootloader and rooting android ICS put up by user nlooooo, Follow that thread and unlock your bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076675
2. Install Jelly Bean compatible Custom Recovery.
Once you update via OTA for the JB Update, Your HBoot becomes JB Hboot instead of the old ICS Hboot so you need a JB Hboot compatible Custom Recovery to flash the Super User and Root.
Our fellow user atis112 fixed the recovery by neXus PRIME to make it work with JB. So you need to download the JB Custom Recovery from the attachment and put it in your C Drive, So the file location would be C:\recovery.img
2.1] Download JB Recovery.img from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39662992&postcount=66 OR You can use the TWRP Recovery Image made by Yasir. Download from here : http://d-h.st/tSc
2.2] Once you put it in C Drive you need to connect your HTC Mobile to PC and Install HTC JB Drivers, You can install the drivers from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2222501. Make sure you have installed the Drivers correctly.
2.3] Open your Android SDK (Download it from here if not already) and Go to the \sdk\platform-tools folder. If on Windows 7, Keep the Shift Key pressed + Right click on an empty place in the platform-tools folder > Open Command Window here.
2.4] Type in the following command and see if your device is detected.
adb devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After it is detected, Type the following command.
adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once you are in the bootloader, Type the following command.
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
followed by
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and
fastboot erase cache
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2.5] Now you have installed your custom recovery. Now Reboot your Phone.
3. Install SuperUser and Busybox.
3.1] Once again connect your HTC to PC, Download the attached SuperUser.zip and copy it to your SD Card.
3.2] Open the command prompt again as said earlier by going to platform-tools folder and using the adb devices command to check if the phone is detected.
3.3] Once it is connected, Type the following command.
adb reboot recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3.4] Now you are in the recovery, Use the Volume Up and Down keys to navigate it (Use the power button to select an option).
Navigate to Install Flashable Zip. (This should be the first option and already selected.)
Press Power Button once.
Select "Choose Zip from internal SD-Card" or "external SD-Card" accordingly as to where you put the Superuser.zip.
Press Power Button once.
Scroll and select the Superuser.zip using the Volume Keys.
Press Power Button once.
Then you have flashed your Zip successfully and you are rooted.
Go back to the Main screen using the "Go back" option. Select the "Reboot System Now".
Once you are in the HTC Main screen > Go to App Drawer > Google Play Store > Search for Busy Box and Install it.
That is it, You are now on Jelly Bean and Successfully Rooted.
To Check If You Are Rooted.
1. Open Playstore and search for an app named "Terminal Emulator".
2. Install it.
3. Open it and type in su and execute it.
4. You will get a prompt from Superuser to allow or deny > Allow it.
If you get that prompt, You are successfully rooted.
I hope I have provided credits to all the users whose threads I have mentioned. If not please let me know.
Thanks for reading this.
Or you can refer to my TWRP for JB. Its much better than the fixed neXusRecovery.
Hey, I didn't check that.. Can you give a link to the recovery?

1 more little thing.
I think the instructions in recovery are using vol up down and power buttons. But if im not mistaken,, both my recoveries you mentioned are Touch enabled. So actually no need to bash the crappy volume buttons (i really hate these volume buttons due to bad tactile feedback)

Actually I used the CWM Modded Recovery using Vol rockers only assuming it wasn't touch enabled due to its User Interface. The TWRP one is touch enabled. Are you sure the fixed recovery is touch enabled? As I don't want to flash the old recovery once again to test it.

root JB without flashing custom recovery?
Hi!
I haven't flashed TWRP v2.5.0.0 but only boot the phone into this custom recovery, which is working perfectly. (I want to keep the stock recovery.)
I can install and use the Aroma File Manager (TWRP with Aroma File Manager did not work.)
I can mount the system partition and change / delete files.
However, with a reboot, all my changes will be undone.
Before installing Aroma File Manager for the first time, I installed SuperSu1.34.zip. No error. I installed Aroma File Manager right after it, and I think it said "rooted".
Using TWRP's SuperSu does not work (no error message, but system reboots, and it says it's not rooted.)
My question: can I root my phone while only booting into a non-stock recovery or do I have to flash TWRP and then root the phone?
Would I see the system apps e.g., after mounting /system, even if the phone was not rooted?
I am new to JB, I had 2.3.7 before, which I could root without flashing a custom recovery.
I am not sure if I have to flash the custom recovery because of the s-off problem with HTC devices?
If I flash a custom recovery and root the device, can I flash the stock recovery afterwards without loosing root again?
Would you recommend using SuperSu or Superuser? Which version?
I don't think I need busybox.
I only want to delete bloatware and change the battery symbol.
Thanks for your help!
I didn't try rooting using the stock recovery, but I think it won't be possible as it won't let us change system partition due to S-On. But after you rooted using a custom recovery you can flash the stock recovery again without loosing root. But keep in mind that you won't be able to change system partition. Also, you can't flash zips which aren't signed by HTC.

The question is if there is a difference if I just boot into the custom recovery vs. if it is flashed and I boot into it. Does ist need to be properly flashed to allow writing in /system?

How do you boot into a custom recovery without flashing it first? It has to be on recovery partition to work correctly.

New ClockworkMod Backup Format
TL;DR:
ClockworkMod Recovery now deduplicates files between builds. This results in way smaller backups.
Don't delete /sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs
Overview
I've gotten a few questions about how this works, so I figured I'd make a post on it.
Basically, here's what happens:
The files being backed up are hashed (sha256, not that it matters). Then it checks for a file with the name of the hash in
/sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs
So, if the hash of the file was c5273884b90d490134e7737b29a65405cea0f7bb786ca82c6337ceb24de6f5ed, it looks for /sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs/c5273884b90d490134e7737b29a65405cea0f7bb786ca82c6337ceb24de6f5ed
If the hash file is found, it continues on to the next file. Otherwise, it copies the file to the blobs directory with the file name being the hash.
ROMs and user data, for the most part, do not change too much between builds and backups. So, your APKs, system files, etc, are generally only stored once. This saves a ton of space. Especially between incremental backups.
Some of you may be thinking "well, how do I delete a backup?".
First, never delete the blobs directory. This would actually delete all your backups by rendering them unusable.
Simply delete the usual backup directory, and the next time you run a backup, all the unused hash files will be automatically delete (a process known as garbage collection). The recovery will show "Freeing space..." while this is happening.

I dont have access to the touch based repos as they're closed at the moment so I'm afraid for now this recovery is old school. The "change log" Koushik posted on his Google+ was enticing enough to try it out though!
Koushik Dutta said:
Backups are much faster. 4-5x faster. (Bug fix due to excessive status updates of the UI and new backup technique)
Incremental backups are smaller. Way way smaller. Only 15-20MB each for each additional backup of a ROM. This is done using a new tool I wrote to dedupe the files between incremental backups to eliminate duplicates.

Aroma installer does not work with touch, without the touch enabled and ntrigd running in recovery. but thats just so you know.
so thats key controlled too.

5.0.2.8 is the most up to date recovery version on the gingerbread branch at the moment. These 6.0.0.x versions are from the ics and jellybean branches. To my knowledge I don't think Koushik posts "changelogs" on the various recovery updates but he's made a few posts talking about version 6 of ClockworkMod Recovery here and here.
I have Gingerbread.

There is no touch support when flashed and Power button actually switched the screen OFF, so it is pretty useless. The DormLord touch -based CWN is just perfect as it is. There is no serious ICS ROM to flash anyway, so I do not understand why cripple this CWN when there is no real value here.

Flash the recovery.img manually through fastboot if you're having problems. If you look at the ClockworkMod site a lot of devices don't have ClockworkMod Recovery 6 or a Touch supported version at all. The Flyer has never had an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery anyway. I wanted to check out version 6 myself and put these up in case anyone else wanted to as well. It's not for everyone as there won't be a ClockworkMod Touch Recovery without an ICS kernel or until DooMLoRD and Team UtterChaos port their Touch UI to the ics branch. If you don't want to use it don't.

If the text options disappear when you press the power button press it again so they return then press volume-up and volume-down at the same time to toggle between "Back menu button disabled." and "Back menu button enabled."
revert back to 4.0.1.4
I tried this and had problems with selecting an option with the powere button so I want to revert to 4.0.1.4. I flash 4.0.1.4 to recovery via fastboot but then it hangs on the HCT logo when I try to get to Recovery.
Any ideas?
UPDATE: I ended up changing to Doomlords 5.0.2.7 and it works great.

I enabled the "BOARD_HAS_NO_SELECT_BUTTON" flag in BoardConfig.mk and now the power button works as soon as recovery boots. No need to toggle between "Back menu button disabled" and "Back menu button enabled" anymore.
If the recovery doesn't boot properly and hangs at the splash screen use "fastboot erase cache". Similarly, if you want to flash any other recovery use the commands in the OP.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

you should have adb in stock recovery aswell. just boot to stock recovery, make sure that you've configured the drivers and use the above command to install the update via adb
I've never tried that procedure though, but I guess it should work

heres what i did:
1) download the latest stock factory image from google: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantaray (JOP40C)
2) download the ota update JP40C->JOP40D http://android.clients.google.com/p...gned-mantaray-JOP40D-from-JOP40C.07ac4f5d.zip
3) download the ota update JOP40D->JDQ39 http://android.clients.google.com/p...igned-mantaray-JDQ39-from-JOP40D.eaef1443.zip
4) download the latest team win recovery .img file: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/manta
5) reboot into bootloader mode
6) unzip the stock firmware from step 1)
7) open command line window, cd to folder where image-mantaray-jop40c.zip is, type fastboot update image-mantaray-jop40c.zip (add option -w if you want to clear userdata aswell, this will wipe your sdcard)
8) wait for reboot and get back into bootloader
9) open command line window, cd to folder where the team win recovery image file is, type fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-manta.img (filename can be different depending on the version you downloaded)
10) reboot into bootloader, select reboot recovery, open command line window, cd to where ota updates are, type adb push *filename* /sdcard for each ota update (replace *filename* by actual filename)
11) select install in team win recovery, install update from step 2) first, then update from step 3)
reboot.
you might lose all your data including your files stored on your tablet. this is probably the must reliable way to update because everything is set back to stock and then updated. so no customization whatsoever should interfere
heres the result:
Ignore the post by onemandivision previous steps are easier
Key Features:
Ability to save custom recovery settings
Default partitions to back up
Default zip folder location
Default color theme (lots to choose from) (Thanks to ffolkes!)
Default Time Zone (for more accurate time stamps)
Zip Signature Verification
Zip md5 Verification (looks for file with zipname.zip.md5)
Ability to flash multiple zips in one go
Ability to select which individual partitions to backup, and restore.
Ability to choose compression or no compression backups.
Compression takes longer of course, but you save roughly half the space. EVO3D's stock system uncompressed is ~800mb, 380mb compressed. You choose.
Ability to auto restore GAPPS on zip flash (for CM based ROMS)
Ability to auto reboot after successful flashes (for the lazy)
Some devices utilize their capacitive buttons in recovery.
Home - Main Menu
Menu - Advanced Menu
Back - Up a Menu Level
Search - Select Current Selection
Battery Level and Timestamp (Better safe than sorry)
HTC Dumlock Instructions:
Install the build of TWRP using your method of choice, but you must actually flash TWRP to recovery. No fastboot booting it. We need it in recovery so that this build of TWRP will be flashed to your boot. This new build of TWRP has features in it to easily restore your original boot.
Reboot into recovery.
Make a backup of your phone.
Tap Advanced.
Tap HTC Dumlock. (If you don't see HTC Dumlock then you need to remove any custom TWRP theme that you might be using.)
Tap Install HTC Dumlock. This will install the app and binaries needed to make everything work nicely.
Reboot your device.
Find and open the HTC Dumlock app.
If/when prompted, give the app root (SuperUser) permissions.
Tap the Execute HTC Dumlock button.
Wait patiently for a couple of minutes. It takes a little while.
If your device doesn't reboot automatically, reboot it manually. Reboot it normally. DO NOT reboot it to recovery.
You should now be in your recovery, but your recovery is flashed into boot.
Tap Advanced.
Tap HTC Dumlock.
Tap Restore Original Boot.
Use your recovery like normal. Flash a new kernel. Restore a backup with a different kernel. Do whatever you please!
Consider donating!
Note, you must repeat steps 8 through 17 EVERY TIME you need to flash boot.
Installation:
Unlock bootloader at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
Make sure fastboot is unchecked in power options and turn phone completely off
Boot into HBOOT then Fastboot
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot erase cache"
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Great! I used your Toolkit for my girlfriends One S! Keep up the great work. I should be going to the Tmo Store soon to decide if I want it or not.
Weird I am unable to have any zips show up here so I can flash them.. any idea why nothing shows up in TWRP?

I just tried using adb sideload and it transferred the rom zip, and the rom looked like it was installing, it even said it was installed. However, when I went to reboot, TWRP says 'are you sure no OS installed?' sure enough, i got stuck at the HTC One screen for a long time afterwards. The rom installed fine with adb push, then installing it. Just wondering if this is me or other people experience it.

Idk about this phone but did you make sure the boot.img was installed. Try flashing manually the boot.img.
Can anyone help please.I flashed twrp v 2.5.0.0 but I think I checked fast boot in power for some reason . Now twrp is giving me some problems like it doesn't recognise my internal storage and can't flash supersu or superu ,so my device is still unrooted. Could anybody tell me what should I do now? Thanks in advance and sorry guys if I'm using the wrong thread.

Hello everyone... I really like the way TWRP works even though the backup files seem to be proprietary. I especially like the way the wipe area allows you to select other specific items under "advanced." One question I have though is this... is the "fix permissions" option working for everyone? Would this not work on certain ROMs? I am just curious. Thanks for your insight!
cant flash the recovery. it says out of memory :/
help pls
Could someone please link me to a flashable zip? No OS installed. outdated TWRP >_<

It should work as long your bootloader is unlock.
So first off let me say that clearly i'm not any sort of expert. I was fooling around with different roms for my htc one and read somewhere that a OTA to 4.4 was available for the stock rom. After reverting to the stock rom (official release) I found that I could not install the update because of the version of TWRP I had installed. Apparently it was not current enough. Anyway I installed clockwork mod only to find out that (again) i installed an older version. Sooooo I installed the newest version or TWRP I could find aaaaannnndddd..... Bootloop. When I try to enter recovery it shows the clockworkmod Icon then reboots and stays that way until the battery dies (which is built in of course and not removable). Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Well okay...
First of all head to this link and download the desired recovery image from the list (with or without TOUCH- both are equally functional) :
http: // www clockworkmod com/ rommanager
( REMOVE SPACES IN BETWEEN THE LINK TEXT)
Go to fastboot mode (from ur device):
Switch off the device, press & hold Volume down + power key simultaneously till you get a special mode.
This special mode is nothing but a Bootloader. In bootloader, select fastboot mode option (using Volume keys & power button)
Now put the recovery image which u have downloaded into the working folder of ADB.
Now Check u are in fastboot mode or not:
Code:
fastboot devices
If your device is listed with above code then enter this code in terminal:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery ----------.img
replace the ------ with your recently downloaded CWM recovery image filename i.e.recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.6-m7.img
All done...
Now Boot into recovery and Do whatever you want..!!
GL...!!

Magisk just tweeted that the "world's first true system-as-root" was just created. Do you think that with this we could achieve root for Pie? Or would this not change anything?

Would I have to flash every time i want to enter safestrap?
also if I were to want to revert to the rooted nougat ROM, do I have to follow all the steps on the rooting guide or could I just flash an image through safestrap?

you can just flash image in safestrap and then flash the safestrap for nougat zip in post 2 (or its included in the new DSF6 build) after you flash the nougat system image in safestrap to get back to nougat safestrap. If you fail to flash the safestrap zip for nougat your phone will automatically boot to safestrap on every reboot on a nougat rom.

Thanks for answering my question. I'm new to all of this, so I appreciate the guidance.
Another question. Would I brick my phone if I tried to flash a ROM image with a v3 bootloader through safestrap?

You can flash a system image from v3 firmware but must remain on v5 boot and recovery images and bootloaders and modems

Nice this ROM just goes over the Nougat image with all my settings and apps intact. Even the pay apps are working (probably because no root). Now I just need to find a way to flash Viperaudio drivers then I'm all set.

I've tried to flash a few different viper zips in safestrap to no avail. The driver would not load. I was told that root is needed to actually "load" the drivers, even if you install them via safestrap. I'm not sure this is true though because if it was, the viper app would ask for root privs, wouldn't it? Anyways, if you make any progress let me know I need that viper in my life.

You should be able to change the permissions for the files themselves with safestrap you can change file permissions if it allows us read write to system then you could try making an init script to load in on boot with rooted permissions to load the viperaudio like an init.d
Vipermod start service this is just off of the top of my head but I will look into more this weekend when I got some time to test out the new rom and safestrap
Viper will not work without root because it needs to execute a script at startup and no scripts will execute on a stock system. There were or maybe are rootless version but they still needed a permissive kernel to work
