HTC One X has been one of the hottest Android phones since it was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress 2012. Previously, I covered a complete review of HTC One X, and later a rooting guide for HTC One X (retail version). Recently, a single click rooting process was launched for the AT&t version of HTC One X, which was not released when the retail version hit stores around the globe. Thanks to XDA member “kennethpenn”, AT&T users can now root their devices. The below mentioned method can be used with Windows, Mac and Linux.
This single click rooting process will root your HTC One X phone, install SuperSu app for rights management and Busybox.
Disclaimer:

Note: The developer has marked the Linux and Mac process as “untested”, please refer to the link given at the end of this post to verify the status of this process.
