Step 4) is generally unnecessary since TWRP will root for you when you reboot from TWRP with an unrooted device.
Thats something new. Thanks for letting me know

Its great, works like a charm.
It only works with kk?
Works in any android version I believe, I think they implemented it in TWRP 2.7 but I could be mistaken.
The only time it doesn't work is if you manually unroot but missed deleting some of the files.
R u sure? I didnt know

I've only noticed it with android 4.1.X through 4.4.X. So it works in those versions at least.

TWRP 2.8 automatically loaded superSU on KK but it was not complete and/or needs to be reloaded via play store. As a result I did not get s-off on zara_cl
flashing the latest SuperSU update zip did not seem to work either
Any ideas?

Running rumrunner gets you s-off, not flashing a recovery.

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.

Good so you have JB hboot/version. Remember always: you have JB hboot.
What does it mean? When you will unlock your bootloader and you have to install a custom recovery/rom you will download only JB version,OK?
Good now go on htcdev.com and unlock it. Follow instructions, are simple.

It's not bricked, I think you need to reinstall a recovery. I recommend TWRP 2.5 instead of 2.6 because 2.5 has no bugs. Try to restore your nandroid backup (if you haven't any try one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324815 and choose your cid) and then flash SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

I unlocked my bootloader, flashed boot.image and CM snapshot 12 and then after setting up my phone I tried installing TWRP 2.8 with that stupid TWRP Play Store app.
NOW i cannot get into bootloader OR recovery with neither the bootmenu nor adb commandline nor the Volume+- on reboot...
PLEASE HELP me get TWRP 2.8 on my device... OR get me back into Recovery... I'm going crazy here
Turning off the phone and using the volume buttons after turning it on, gives me a black screen with an orange LED for recovery. How do I fix this.
PLEASE, there must be someone out there that can help me get recovery back???

here is a recovery guide
i suggest sticking with CM11 or Using the TWRP build by Championswimmer, his ones support CM11 but i have no idea how to use it or install it ( i think recovery partition)

1. install drivers
2. Download FTF for your device
3. Flash FTF
(flashmode=Volume down)

No. Flashing a FTF restores the entire device to a factory state.
Bootloader isnt affected at all

Flashing the latest monxDIFIED gives you TWRP 2.8...
Tested only in Xperia M4 Aqua E2303, you need UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER,steps:
1. download this recovery (thanks to @dani020110 and your corresponding boot (rename it to boot.img):
FOR E2303.
FOR E2333
FOR E2306
FOR E2353
FOR E2312
2. copy them inside the adb folder and boot into fastboot mode, type in the shell:
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
3. let the phone booting ,shut down and boot again in fastboot mode then:
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Now you have ROOT WITH LATEST SUPER SU 2.76 and custom Recovery.ENJOY
at you own risk .
Going to try that out tomorrow morning, it is already late in my country. But thanks you're a livesaver!

That's great! How did you get it working? And also, is there any way of making it for locked bootloaders aswell?

for locked bootloader we can't flash the recovery via fastboot, must includes both recovery and root in the rom.
But is it possible (for locked bootloader) to update using a pre-rooted zip with the old recovery? Or flashtool is needed to update something at bootloader level?
Hmm... Looks like i cant get root access, SuperSU app is working and everything but other apps cant get root access.
