AT&T’s HTC One X has been rooted, bootloader remains locked

AT&T has made it clear that there are no plans to offer an official bootloader unlock forits HTC One X, but that hasn’t stopped the industrious folk of xda-developers from successfully rooting the device. Nothing usually does.

The bootloader is still in lock down, making it all but impossible to flash custom ROMs onto the handset, but root is not without benefits. Users with superuser access can clear the phone of AT&T bloatware with an app like Titanium Backup and gain the ability to overclock the One X’s dual-core Snapdragon CPU. From what we are seeing it is not too difficult a process to perform, either. Head on over to the source link below for the instructions and more info.
