How to Root the HTC One X on AT&T (One-Click Method)

The rooting procedure for the AT&T-branded One X is slightly different from that of its unlocked GSM counterpart, but both employ a method that is easy to follow – One-Click Root.  This guide will show you how to root the AT&T One X as painlessly as possible and without HTC having a clue that you have rooted your device using a One-Click Solution.

I.  Before You Begin

1.  As always, back up your data just in case.

2.  This rooting guide is Windows based, so make sure that you are on a Windows PC (XP, Vista or 7) before proceeding.

II.  Necessary Files

1.  HTC Windows Drivers.

2.  Root file.

III.  Rooting the AT&T One X

1.  Install the HTC Drivers you downloaded above.

2.  If you have HTC Sync installed on your device, disable it or uninstall it (you can install it after the root procedure is complete).

3.  Connect your device to your PC using the microUSB cable.

4.  Enable USB Debugging on your device.  To do this, go to Settings > Developer Options and check the USB debugging tickbox.  Windows should now install the necessary drivers automatically (if you are on Windows 7).

5.  Extract onxr.zip you downloaded above to a folder on your desktop.

6.  From the extracted folder, double-click root.bat to run the tool and follow the on-screen prompts.

7.  Your device should reboot several times during the process.  Wait until the tool gives you confirmation that the procedure is successful before disconnecting your device.

Congrats!!  Your One X should now be rooted with Superuser and Busybox installed!!
