Hey Guys.. Here's a short and easy guide on how to quickly root your HTC Desire X with the jelly bean update.
Steps.
1. Unlocking Bootloader.
Detailed guide here
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.
2.1] Download JB Recovery.img from here
2.2] Once you put it in C Drive you need to connect your HTC Mobile to PC and Install HTC JB Drivers.
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.
Quote:
adb devices
After it is detected, Type the following command.
Quote:
adb reboot bootloader
Once you are in the bootloader, Type the following command.
Quote:
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
followed by
Quote:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and
Quote:
fastboot erase cache
2.5] Now you have installed your custom recovery. Now Reboot your Phone.
3. Install SuperUser (Download it from here) 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.
Quote:
adb reboot recovery
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.
Thats it.
Enjoy.!
Happy Moding.!
