A member of the XDA developers forum reportedly released a method unlocking the bootloader of the HTC One X of AT&T (NYSE:T).

However it will not be easy to use the method so it may be necessary to be careful for users who are not quite adept in command line commands. It will also be necessary to root the HTC One X before its bootloader is unlocked.

Although the instructions will result to an unlocked bootloader on the HTC One X if it is followed properly, it is still necessary for user to proceed with care.
