subject: Htc One X Gets An Assured 4.1 Jelly Bean Update [print this page] The HTC One X model had already made the gadget lovers very happy and now they have more reasons to be happier. Amongst them the first one is the android Jelly bean 4.1 update. This update has been made available to the unlocked handsets.
It went on live in Taiwan and Singapore but it is recently been reported that updates are rolling out globally and in fact most users from India, Brazil, Russia and Argentina have already received it. This model has been a little behind some of its counterparts who have been exposed to this update already nevertheless with the latest software you as a user can have access to some really stunning features. Another reason to be happy is that there is an unofficial jelly bean 4.2 update but the catch is that it is available for rooted phones only.
Rooting is a very bold act and requires you to get in to the system files and stuff. So mostly it is not advisable since if the process goes wrong you might even lose your warranty. Still if you are persistent and can show some guts then research the process very well as it differs from model to model and once you are successfully through you will be able to get a jelly bean 4.2 leap as far as this model is concerned.
If you have a network operated handset you might not be able to get an update or even if you are going to an update, you will get it later for the simple reason that the providers test files themselves so that they can be sure of the fact the file works well with any custom software and if it does not, they will add certain tweaks here and there and it will work.
There are chances that you can easily crack 4.2 jelly bean operating system only if you are able to root your phone which is like breaking into administrative privileges which are meant for security reasons. As a word of caution, be absolutely assured that the process that you are going to actualise is meant for your model.
There is an idiom which says that Leaps and bounds make something grow faster and in HTC One X case this holds true. The first leap is the official jelly bean 4.1 update which has already been the part and parcel of many handset around the globe and the second bound is its sibling 4.2 which can be attained riskily.
