[Q] HTCDev with AT&T One X

I have had my HTC One X for AT&T for a week now. I noticed that paulobrien has found a way to root the One X. Unfortunately when I go to htcdev.com I get this message while trying to unlock my bootloader.
"We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.
Error Code: 160.
Error Reason: MID Not Allowed."
I remember getting this message with the HTC Vivid.

I also get this error when attempting to unlock the bootloader. Any ideas?

you cannot unlock bootloader yet for AT&T, it's known fact right now. root is independent of the bootloader too, so just cuz we have root doesn't automatically let you unlock bootloader. just give it some time, maybe in a month or so.

I thought it wasn't possible to unlock if you was on ATT

it's not possible. all we have at the moment is root, we'll have a bootloader unlock in some time i'm sure, either sanctioned or unsanctioned.

Sorry about your cancer. You might want to get that looked at..
But, it turns out that it wasn't working because of my OTA update to 2.2.. So even the tutorials in the development section won't work until someone figures how to get behind the new update.
Just thought everyone should know!
Also, I know how to search, I just wanted one of you guys to do it for me. Thanks!

Are you serious? You bumped a 3 month old thread which is only somewhat relevant to your situation AND made your own post?
Did you even read how to unlock a 2.20 htc one x?
Did you read the 3000 threads here on how to do it?

Are one XL and at&t one x the same?

No you can't flash a rom without an unlocked boot loader.
This is all over the forums and has been asked multiple times, just do a quick search for your answer before askin the question.

You cannot search, you cannot root, in fact this phone cannot even make calls.Return your phone and exchange for an iPhone. Then go to iPhone forums and post many threads asking how to jailbreak. Thank you.

i dont understand where this One XL came from... Rogers call's it a one x as well..

Is there a bootloader unlock for build 3.17?

Hi again. I just found out from someone on AC that my Rogers one x is running build 3.17. Is the a way to unlock the bootloader for this at this time, or is it too new? I want to root my device as soon as possible. It is also running android 4.1.1. Thanks.

Just head over to htcdev.com and unlock it ...and flash twrp than root or Rom... I think you can only run jb sense roms right now but maybe the cm10 devs have implemented the kernel changes

Thank you very much. I regisyered with them today and am just waiting for my activation email. Cheers.

I think the email should come pretty much immediately. If not, you might have to register again using another email address, or contact the website tech support. The HTCDev.com website is very glitchy.

(Q) Lost Unlock Code.bin file

My computer bit the dust and I didnt back up my unlockcode.bin. I'm going to attempt to flash my carriers RUU again. Will I be able to get a new unlockcode.bin file from HTC Dev after I've re-locked my phone, should my RUU not work?

Just go through the process again with HTCDev they will send it again.

They email the file to you. Just do a search in your email and you'll find it.

[S-off] Firewater s-off for HTC One XL

Firewater S-off for HTC One XL!
Firstly let me say that this isn't my own work, all credit goes to @beaups and @Fuses for bringing this to our device.
Firewater is a new method for achieving s-off on HTC devices.
For everyone that has taken the 5.18 at&t update before unlocking you should be able to use Firewater. It has a temp root feature which will enable you to get s-off on your device, once you have s-off you can get SuperCID via a simple fastboot command (fastboot oem writecid 11111111), then you can unlock your bootloader at htcdev. I'd really appreciate any feedback on whether this works for you.
This is just a simple thread to get this method some exposure for users with our device. As per the licensing section on the site and beaup's wishes I cannot include the download or instructions in this thread. However, we can have this thread serve as a troubleshooting/help location for the One XL. Alternatively, support for rumrunner s-off is available at #rumrunners on the freenode and andirc networks. Please make sure you meet all of the requirements before contacting support.
Firewater S-off.
Please go give beaups and Fuses a bunch of thanks for their work!

Your situation is the situation I'm really interested in, we really need to find out whether it's possible to unlock the bootloader after taking the 5.18 update. Let me know how you go.

I agree we need a few more people to test, as new as the guy that did test is. it could be a simple mistake as having anti virus on the computer, etc.

I tried it under linux with no antivirus, in windows (7) -- antivirus off. Everything done according to "Instructions (temp-root method)". What other mistakes could be?

I can't think of any. You might try entering a root shell after running the temp root, just to verify that is what is failing

I'll give it a go. I'll tell you all if it works out. (AT&T One X)
*UPDATE* I had no luck. same error as the last guy
error in setsockopt().
Failed to get prepare_kernel_cred address.
Failed to get commit_creds address.
Failed to get ptmx_fops address.
Failed to setup variables.

I'm going to be receiving another HTC One X soon. I can only assume that it will be on the 5.18 firmware so I will try this method. If not... off to Mobiletechvideos for S-Off.

I got the sane errors

Confirm NOT working on 5.18 firmware

Since I like to run the updated AT&T ruu whenever they come out WeakSauce-1.0.1.apk worked great for temp root and to get everything going again without needing pc after initial ruu. I was wanting to test stock for abit then was on the road and wanted to go custom and weaksauce worked perfect.

I am on 5.18. temproot gives the same errors others have posted. Weaksauce enables a successful su but firewater fails, not always with the same messages. I would love for this to work, but it looks like I'm just going to get any M8 anyway and make sure I s-off while the exploits still work on it.

Just did s-off on mine tonight and then super-cid. Mine also hung up at chugging. Exited the program and ran it again successfully. I am overjoyed now. Many thanks to the devs.

So, you successfully obtained root and S-Off on a stock One X on the newest OTA (4.2.2)?
