Although HTC claims that AT&T has not allowed them to unlock their own bootloader for the One X, the development community has gone ahead and taken care of the issue.
Thanks to a poster on XDA Developers, there is now a one-click rooting solution for the new flagship Android device.
By having root access, owner's can backup their apps and data easier, remove bloatware, overclock the processor and have additional access to their phone's system.
HTC's One X device is the high-end model among three new phone "HTC One" branded phones.
The device has a large 4.7-inch display with 1,280x720-pixel HD resolution and Gorilla Glass. The phone runs on Android 4.0 with HTC Sense 4.0, and the phone maker has decided to keep three buttons, one for back, home and running/recent apps.
Along with LTE, the phone will also have a powerful 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor. The device sells for $199 with contract via AT&T.
