[Q] MID not allowed

Hi, I just rooted my HOX running on 1.73, but when I tried to unlock the bootloader I keep getting an error message after I submit the token ID that says "MID not allowed". Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm basically new to Android, just switched from the iphone, and am thrilled so far.
Thanks

You need to use the SuperCID tool before you can unlock your bootloader since AT&T blocked us from doing it the official way. Check the development section, the thread is over there.

awesome!
great! that did it. Thank you so much. Sorry for the nooby questions that are often harder to find answers to than the more advanced questions.

No prob, we all had nooby questions at one point.

next step
Well, in that case, I might as well hit you with some more nooby questions.
What is usually the next step after obtaining root and unlocking the bootloader?

The next step is flashing a custom recovery such as clockworkmod or TWRP. Having a custom recovery allows you to flash ROMs, radios, kernals, and mods to really tailor your phone to be exactly the way you want it. If you're looking at flashing a ROM, I very highly recommend CleanROM SE. It is very close to stock, except it has a bunch of kick ass mods and tweaks that make your phone for lack of a better word... perfect. Check out the thread for it in the development section.

How do you root at&t one x

Can someone please a YouTube video on how to root unlock downloader and s-off I have tried very thing and have had no luck this is my first HTC I mainly have had Samsung so if someone can point me in the direction I will hit the thank you button thanks in advance

There are threads in the dev section with all the info you need. I suggest you spend a lot of time actually reading them and build a real understanding for what you are doing BEFORE you do anything to your phone. If you just follow some guy's youtube video without actually knowing what you're doing, guaranteed your next thread will be "ZOMG SOMEONE PLEASE HELP I THINK I BRICKED MY PHONE".

With Samsung it was just use Odin and that was it you make a very good point and on that I will do some more research thanks again for the advice

Yeah samsungs are generally easier to root. Odin made it a cinch. That was one of the things I loved about my Epic 4G Touch. We do have one click methods for root and bootloader unlock though so it's pretty damn easy. Once you read the threads you'll see it's not that bad. The root thread is a sticky and bootloader unlock is on the first page of the dev section.
Edit: I have not used the one click bootloader unlock on the first page so I can't vouch for it. It is new and looks like nobody has used it yet. The one I used is HERE, it's a one click that changes your CID to allow you to unlock through htcdev.com. I have used that method 6 times and practically everyone on this forum used it so that is the method that I will vouch for. The stickied root thread is also tried and tested.

[Q] Noob question regarding firmware

Hey I just picked up the HTC One X today from Rogers and I'm in love <3. However, I must first make it sexy (Root, unlock bootloader etc.) and in order to do this I need some knowledge of something i'm sure everyone knows. Basically in the forums I saw some programs that offered a root via a tool or an unlocked bootloader, but its listed under a title containing the numbers 1.85, is that referring to the firmware? If so how can i check the firmware on my phone I cant find any number like that :S Thank you and i'm sure this is one hell of a noob question. Thanks for the help in advance ^_^

Settings, about, software information, more, build number.
The build number is the firmware I believe.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Thanks for your help, my build number is 1.73.631. 1 CL54373 release-keys.
Can I still use these tools to root my phone and unlock the boot loader?

Yep, just read some of the stickies guides.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I have the Rogers htc one x as well. Let me know what you did to attain root, recovery and bootloader unlocked when you're done. =)

Thank you I shall attempt to load a custom rom on my phone, ill take it as a self birthday gift. Thanks for the help

Sure ill let you know if I decide to do it, I'm still kind of scared I had the HTC amaze and panache which I rooted and s-off but I had an sd card slot which saved me countless times with this phone there is none and it seems really scary.

how to turn s-on htc one s

i need to know if anyone in the los angeles area that can put the s-on feature on my phone my friend did a root and i unrooted it and put back the stock rom but i dont know how to turn s-on in order to get updates on my phone again please helpppppp

You better tell us how he got s-off. I cant imagine he is actually.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

Did you or your friend achieve full S-OFF? If so, how? It's kind of a big deal. I personally don't think you mean Security off to security on on the bootloader; maybe you mean stock recovery?

Could you tell me how did you do this, please?

so..... Somebody is playing S-on; S-off like is nothing and the whole community is struggling to achieve that....... You better elaborate on this buddy, or don't post and give hope.

I think he meant "unlocked" bootloader, not S-OFF.
The only thing he wanted was to reclock it.
Thread should be closed as he did what he whanted to do by himself.

He's clearly stated it though twice that it was s off and now s on u can't get mixed up lol either were getting trolled or he doesn't know the benefits of s off lool

He is most likely a noob and doesn't know the difference between s-on/off and a unlocked bootloader

If you don't exactly know what you do, that's not so hard to mix up...
The worst thing is that WE keep on discussing about something we all know as a mistake.

Some phones (very few) are shipped s off. If it is so, then just keep it that way and update through xda. We get all the new stuff anyway
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium

If he really had s-off it wouldn't matter cause he wouldn't need to relock the bootloader he could flash ANYTHING he wanted. oh well thread topic looked cool for a second. Anyways...
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Tapatalk 2

Just think it's a noob looking for attention. If he did want S-ON, he would've replied. I think he pretty damn well knows what S-OFF is, just wanted some attention for a few days.

He did replied to the first responce to his question and then the semi flames started for him not knowing any better. Noob for sure. He will know the difference now or and hopefully search before posting next time. Hopefully by then he knows the true status of his phone that's just something we have to deal with during this stage of a new phone. Once development picks up and there are more threads and more people posting useful information for the noobs to learn from it will make things a lot better.

[Q]How to S-OFF One S S3

I bought new phone - One S - and is the S3 model.
Before this I had HTC Incredible S where the S-OFF was possible without HTCDEV. I did some searching on XDA and I couldn't find anything on how to S-OFF ONE S S3 without HTCDEV.
Can someone please help me or write a tutorial?
Thank you!
Cheers,
Matjaz

That's because you can't s-off without htc.dev
....or with htc.dev for that matter.

Thank you for fast reply.
Is there a way to get it back to the original state (S-ON) in an undetectable way for HTC if needed for warranty?
Thank you!
Matjaz

Yeah if we had s off we could edit the text to say anything

Ok seriously. Eleventh post in the development section that isn't development in a few days. That's what Q&A is for! And there is no S-OFF...and won't be for awhile.

..and even when you post in the correct section, with a title like this, please prefix with [Q].

I really wish the mods would ban these n00b users. That's the only true way to keep stupid posts from being made in the wrong section.

thanks! will report bugs. rom looks very good :silly::highfive::victory::laugh:

Try reporting the thread and selecting maintenance/post moving as the reason, that might work better.
Mods of xda operate on report-only basis because there is are just too many threads/posts to proactively moderate
