Idea for s-off for one S - HTC One S

Ok so i wilp be upgrading to a one s in a few days and im wondering if for s-off on the one s could someone make like what the devs did for the n1 with blackrose. Or could someone find someone one with one of the rare one s dev phones with s-off and extract the s-off hboot from that and flash it on all the other one s phones

Don't you think people might have already thought about that? I mean seriously do you think the devs just can't be arsed or something?

The basic chicken & egg situation is that you need s-off to write hboot.
You'd have to boot the device through some other means than the normal (s-on) hboot, or spoof some check(s) to prevent the normal hboot from setting mmc protection.

Well i know that sansung phones have something called unbrickable mod and that starts before the bootloader ir os or anything likebthat starts. If soneone can get something like that then we could s-off the one s easily

Here is a crazy idea talk about this on the s off thread

Did anyone manage to get into download mode on the One X/S/V? You could on the Sensation, that might help.

These dev one s phones... Are they available?

I don't what I could use S-OFF for at this moment. Sure, there might be devs who just would start some efficient stuff, but thanks to those current recoveries where already have most of the possible functionalities.
BTW: Please use the exisiting thread instead of confusing or catching people with a new one! °(ò_Ó)°

Why do you think you need s-off?

Resizing partitions would be the main one I think.

For those of us who are on hboot 1.13 or newer, flashing radios without RUU would be another one.

AT&T One X Unbranded with S-Off

Hey guys I bought from ebay a One X that is unbranded AT&T phone that has S-Off. I am attaching a picture to prove it. Now I am wondering if this is a pre-release phone or what something else. I don't even know if I should try to unlock the bootloader. Any ideas let me know. If you need a system dump or anything else, let me know how to do it and I will.
So, should I try to unlock the bootloader?

thats probably a rogers one x... or international does it say ATT on the front under the speaker?

Either way it still shouldn't be S-OFF should it?
No I am not a troll, but thank you. It is running the AT&T software and it says HTC instead of AT&T. I have a gray AT&T One X that I bought at Frys and compared the software and hardware on both. All was the same.
If you notice it says CID-11111111 and not Rogers. So, I don't know.
mine is cid-rogers001 s-off
what is cid-111...?
ok i take that troll thing back BUT then that means the person who you bought it from did something and just installed an ATT ruu AFAIK all att one x's say att on them
hmmmm...if you unlock a rogers hox via htcdev...should still be s-on right?? howd u get s-off??

Can we get someone to move this to the Dev section? Maybe that way a Dev will see this and we can move it along quicker.
A device with S-OFF likely won't help us get S-OFF on other devices. For that reason, I'm not going to move it to the Dev section. Thanks for the consideration everyone!

Bootloader

I am on bootloader 1.09.000...
Do I need to update my bootloader to flash a jellybean Rom or viper Rom?
Sent from my Calkulins HTC One XL using xda-developers app
No? If you did it'd be evident
Make your life easier.. don't upgrade your BL... if you did, you'd have to flash the boot.img seperately
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
You are asking to do the exact opposite of what everyone with hboot 1.14 wants to do. If you read any of the many posts regarding this issue you would know that.
Once you decide to finally flash a rom you will see how easy it really is and feel silly you waited so long. The guy you got the phone from probably already flashed them all so your phones no ROM 'virgin'. He unlocked the bootloader rooted it and loaded you a custom rom already so all you need to do is follow the simple directions for each and every ROM in this forum and you will be fine.
Try it trust me you will like it
Okay I'll take your word... And I know how to flash boot.img I had to do it ALL the time with my vivid. Biggest pain in the ass I ever had to learn. Especially with Wcx-xperia roms

Doesn't require S-Off at all. S-Off will only save you about thirty seconds when flashing ROMs, because you have to skip one small step.

[Q] How do I unlock the bootloader?

Hi, guys. I'm new to the forum but I've been a fan of xda for awhile now. Anyways, I've become quite sick with the poor programming that came stock on my HTC one X, so I'm hoping to fix that. Unfortunately I can not unlock the bootloader on the phone no matter what I do. HTC dev. won't allow me to unlock it through their site, either.
My phone is an HTC One X from AT&T running Android 4.0.3 ICS, and kernel version 3.0.8, build number 1.85
Please help me guys!! A BIG thank you in advance!:crying:
Rooting is not for those who can't look up and read. This phone is quirky so if you want to root. Read the stickies here then go to android development and read the stickies there then root. The information is all there for you.

to be fair, your title and somewhat lack of info given screams "Havent read". i dont think it was wrong for me to assume so. You can be sure that i had no intent to insult you. things go smoother when you understand what youre doing.
Damb she is lucky. She has a 1.85. The spoof cid should still work. We got her on the right track though. I guess she has complained to att that her phone won't update to jb. Good to see taking matters into her own hands and freeing her phone from the bondage of att and the crappy bloatware that comes with it.

But you're going to need to change your CID to 22222222 before heading to htcdev to unlock, as supercid doesn't work there anymore.

Just do the process for 11111111 and then fastboot oem writecid 22222222 after.
Or Hex edit mmcblk0p4 after achieving root. Either way will work, my way can be a bit more dangerous: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212737&highlight=hex+edit+cid
I thought we would have to hexedit. I all ways assumed you needed root permission to fastboot oem writecid.

You need root for both, but you can achieve root without SuperCID no? SuperCID is for unlocking bootloader.

You need more than root for fastboot oem writecid. You need either s-off or supercid. The catch is that without s-off, once you write 22222222, you can't use writecid anymore.
Duh your right. Its been a while. adb shell and adb push su binaries = root access

Since he'll be doing it once right after SuperCID, it will be fine. As stated both will work lol. Can just S-OFF after if OP wants to keep changing it.
Well if in fact you can only writecid once to 22222222 For htcdev bootloader then you wouldn't be able to s-off cause you need cid11111111. Correct?

I think you're misunderstanding the whole idea behind this, did you do any research? You don't root before unlocking the bootloader, it's the opposite.
This method doesn't root your phone. It gives temp root so you can gain SuperCID, and then you can unlock the bootloader via htcdev, and then you can gain permanent root after flashing a custom recovery.
PS. It's basic rules to search before posting a new topic, your question has been asked and answered countless times already.

Read read then read some more having someone use team viewer to do it for you defeats the purpose of learning. This is technically a dev site. People will help you but hand holding isnt on the list. Wether u have rooted other phones or built roms is irrelevant. You now own a one xl. Take your time and learn. Doing it for you defeats the purpose of learning. If you wanna send me the phone and 50.00 I'll mail it back rooted.
