Here’s some real good news for HTC smartphone users. The company has confirmed that it will update three of its flagship smartphone namely HTC One X, One S and One XL to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean soon, the latest version of Google’s mobile operating system. HTC

Recently, a flurry of toolkits has popped up on the XDA Developers forum, thanks to rising demand from smartphone users. These toolkits integrate multiple features into a single frame, making them both powerful and helpful, particularly for novice users. In fact, smartphone users with little knowledge about rooting could still gain root access, flash a custom recovery or even unroot a device, thanks to the simple but powerful All-In-One (AIO) toolkits with Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Once rooted, the device is capable of installing third-party applications and tweaks and the latest smartphone to benefit from this is the HTC One X, thanks to the efforts of XDA senior member - thunder07.

The One X AIO toolkit features a range of common yet useful modules based on each version upgrade, as follows:

  • v1.0
    • Flash Kernels & Modules
    • Flash Recoveries
    • Reboot The Phone
    • Reboot Into Recovery/Bootloader
  • v1.1
    • Kernel Repack - Phone on Android with USB Debug Enabled - No Need For The Recovery
  • v1.2
    • MultiKernel Repack
    • Repacked output Format Kernel.Ramdisk.IMG
  • v1.3
    • One Click Root
  • v1.4
    • Reworked Module Flasher
    • Decreased/Removed some delays
    • Fixed Faux Module Unzipping Problem
  • v1.5
    • Added RUU Zip Flashing Ability - For Advanced Users

The One X toolkit supports regular functions such as one-click root and flash recoveries, besides adding advanced features like kernel and module flashing, as well as RUU zip flashing capability. The toolkit also adds bug-fixes for Module Unzipping Problem.
