[Q] Relocked, No Backup, No ROM, No Recovery, S-ON, Tampered CID. Fastboot Only.

I can't even re-unlock the bootloader for some reason either.
*** TAMPERED ***
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***
EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.14.0002
RADIO-0.19as.32.09.11_2
OpenDSP-v29.1.0.45.0622
eMMC-boot
I mistakenly used the JBFW tool on my AT&T branded phone (CID: CWS__001) to change the CID to HTC__001, not realizing that my phone was still S-ON and the CID changing option was apparently for S-OFF only. I had root, I had the bootloader unlocked. Now I can't even get into recovery, and I think since my CID is apparently stuck as HTC__001, that the RUU for my phone's actual CID won't work. I should note that before I relocked the bootloader, I tried to change my CID back to the SuperCID but it would just freeze the phone. That's why I tried to relock it, hoping it would help. I thought I could just unlock it again, but it won't work. I can't flash anything via ADB, it all fails. This is the RUU I was trying to use:
RUU_EVITA_UL_ICS_40_S_Cingular_US_2.20.502.7_Radio_0.19as.32.09.11_2_10.105.32.25L_release_271865_signed.exe
and I got a Wrong Customer ID error.
Is there anything I can do to remedy this situation or am I at the warranty center's mercy? Thank you in advance for any help.

im in the same boat, hopefully we get some help here soon, ive got another phone on the way from the warranty center but they want the one i have now and if they see its been tampered there gonna send me a bill for the full price of the phone. wish i could help.

We have the exact same phone. I have a dif RUU though. Mine says AT&T. I'll find the link to dl that RUU in a sec. Currently away from the pc where I have that page bookmarked
EDIT: I do believe that all the Cingular RUUs don't work anymore, their currently out of business thanks to our carrier AT&T... Don't know why you would try and use a Cingular RUU...

Now, this is the correct RUU http://www.4shared.com/file/35bbU4_Y/htc_one_x_RUU_2205027_att_us_0.html. It's going to take anywhere from 10-25min to complete.

I have a nag for wanting to help people and it seems you do too. Lol.
Speaking of, I've been trying to keep up with that thread you have. How's that coming?

he wont be able to flash the ruu because he changed his cid to the international one x to try to flash the international jb rom which would of bricked his phone if it worked. running "OUR" supercid might get it set to supercid and let you reflash ruu.

Lmao, now that is a hard pickle to get yourself into!!!
If cid was changed to HTC_001 properly, go snag a new token off htcdev website........I'm not going to explain the rest

Just to let you know our (The HTC One XL). Super Cid is 1111111 (I'm pretty sure it's seven 1's?). In any case you should not be looking at the One X (Tegra) forums and much rather look at the One XL/ATT One X forums unless you enjoy staring at a $600 paperweight.

8, I believe

First rfatmen
I wasn't able to change my CID back to the SuperCID via any method I could find. And I don't think the CID was "properly" changed/spoofed to HTC__001, but I definitely could still get verified tokens from HTCDev. The problem was that I couldn't re-unlock it by pushing the .bin via ADB because it just failed. Since I'd upgraded less than a week ago, I was able to convince the semi-clueless guy at AT&T to exchange my One X.

I accidentally flashed recovery to boot portion. ie
HTML:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
instead of
HTML:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
.
Then I also flashed recovery to recovery portion thinking that I can boot into recovery.
But now my phone boots and stays at twrp logo.
Even when I try to boot into recovery the same twrp logo nothing happens.

Brand New HTC One X AT&T build 3.18 -- WANTING ROOT/UNLOCK/S-OFF

Okay i just bought a brand new ATT HTC One X and out of the box it comes with 4.1.1 and is build 3.18 with the 2.14 hboot.
i have flashed htc phones before and so im not new to it.
HOWEVER! lol
I was looking over the forum (and as confusing as it is with the different versions of the htc one x/xl/s/whatever else ) i believe this is the correct forum.
I am completely stock and those are my build and hboot out of the box. I want to root/unlock BL but so far no luck with any of the exploits.
Anyone here successfully rooted a 3.18 one x? or could i flash an RUU for the 2.20 build? how would i flash without first being rooted/custom recovery?
sorry if seem noob questions, been browsing the forums and google/bing all day and can't find a straight answer.

Unfortunately the answers are no and no. JB is decent even on fully stock AT&T, you will just have to look the other way when scrolling through your app tray

I don't think the current root methods allow for the 3.18 build to gain root. Might be in the 2.20 boat all over again until someone can find a definite procedure.

soooooooooooooooooooooo lame. my rezound had viper rez rom and it was based off one x jb but had all the tweaks and stuff so right now its like a major downgrade lol
guess i'll cry and wait for the HTC One to come out later this month, since i only grabbed the one x cause it was literally 11 cents at walmart with a 14 day return and my rezound is acting up and randomly restarting/tanking battery!
sigh
thanks for the info though Groovy

AT&T version of the One X isn't officially supported by htcdev to unlock boot loader (which is why many needed to change cid). If people who have the AT&T version are s-on, relocked, RUUed to 2.20, and flashed ota, they cannot root/unlock boot loader unless an amazing dev creates an exploit

The AT&T CID is blocked within HTCDev.com. A unique situation, almost certainly directed by AT&T. Therefore, on AT&T version of the One X, you need at least temp root to change the CID, then you can unlock the bootloader.
No root/temp root on AT&T 3.18 = no bootloader unlock. It also means no S-off (since you need root to change the CID).

I suppose it doesn't hurt to try. Otherwise, I'd just take the phone back, if root/S-off, etc. is important to the OP. I assume 11 cents is a subsidized price. So no point in using up an upgrade on a phone that can't be modded, if he wants to get the HTC One when its released.
OP may also check to see if the store has any older stock with 2.20 firmware (or any previous firmware version except 3.18). Phones with 3.18 out of the box must be very new, so I wouldn't be surprised if they had some older stock also.

I returned the one x today. will be looking into the t-mobile version of the HTC One which they told me comes out friday the 22nd. being a new phone i know i wont be able to do any mods or anything for a while, but that won't take long with the awesome Devs we have here! All the other models of the One X were sold out, and im guessing that someone realized that the new firmware was Out of Box so picked em all up. only had 2-3 stores with one each so its possible. now all the new stores have the new firmware no big deal, i'd prefer an HTC DNA anyways, but we'll see what the One is all about.

Yes, the CID for AT&T is cws_001 on all of the previous firmware versions, as well. This hasn't changed. cws__001 is blocked on HTCDev.com.

Yes.
If you were unlocked before, how did you get on the 3.18 RUU/OTA? Did you change your CID back to AT&T's CID? Or did you S-off.
If you are S-off, no need to unlock the bootloader.

Yes, you still need to have the bootloader unlocked to write to recovery and some other stuff. I tested this myself.

At the moment there is not.
At the very least you need to be able to gain temp root access in order to change the CID to allow you unlock it through htcdev.
The error you get is because AT&T don't allow bootloader unlock through htcdev.

Is that something new that came with the ota update? I only ask because prior at&t evita one x's (2.20.502.7 ruu) had no issues with the htcdev unlock process

No it's been that way since the beginning.
With the 2.20 RUU there was an exploit so you could change your cid to another carrier or supercid which allowed you to unlock it through htcdev.
You still couldn't unlock it if it still had AT&T's cid on the device.

Has this been resolved? I'm following Hasoon 2000's guide to unlocking the bootloader on my htc one x (ATT) and there are many people who have had success and are posting on Hasoon's thread as recently as a few hours ago, so I'm assuming it is allowed now, but I'm still getting the error 160 code. I'd like to post directly on that thread but I'm a noob and don't have the minimum number of posts...
Any help appreciated

Bump

If you have the latest ota update, you will be unable to gain temp root. You have to change your CID to be able to unlock bootloader with HTC dev. Unless you were s-off, there is no way at this time to accomplish this.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

the 3.18 update introduced system write protection so even with root, one cannot alter the CID unless one is S-OFF.

as of the moment, that's correct.

It can be used on whatever network it came from. Other carriers sell the evita too. You can always try contacting the Carrier and requesting the unlock code or buying an unlock code from an unlock service.

DON'T DO ANYTHING YET!
Latest firmware for AT&T is 3.18, which comes with the JB 4.1 Sense update. This firmware is not rooted, so if you were lucky enough to get an older HOX (2.20 or 1.85 firmware, neither of which is Jelly Bean), then you can root it, which you must do before you take the OTA update (in which case there's no reason to take it afterwards anyways). :good:

On 2.20, you can use the X-Factor root exploit or hasoon's all-in-one kit. Afaik, perm root requires you to unlock your bootloader, which in turn requires SuperCID (country ID? carrier ID? I can't remember). If you try to run the OTA with superCID, it will fail and entirely brick your phone.
However, with an unlocked bootloader, you can install a custom recovery and flash the updated ROM manually with no problems.

Not quite. You can still lose root if you update to a newer firmware. You need to s-off after rooting and unlocking. It's s-on + supercid + 3.18 that causes the brick.
To OP:
Assuming you get a 2.20 phone, you should run the toolkit to root, supercid, and unlock, then s-off (link to thread is in my sig). A lot of people have gotten bricked by upgrading to 3.18 because they didn't think they needed s-off.
Once you're s-off, you can never lose root because it turns off all security restrictions on your phone.

Not quite. You can still lose root if you update to a newer firmware. You need to s-off after rooting and unlocking. It's s-on + supercid + 3.18 that causes the brick.

Not to derail the thread, but for my own knowledge, is it possible to get into a permanently rooted state without supercid?

You need supercid to get s-off, but after that, you can return to stock cid without issues. With s-off, you can change your cid to whatever you want.

Last question for now, I promise, and I'll return the thread to it's rightful owner. Are there any advantages to going back to stock cid, outside of wanting the take the OTA update without bricking?

Once you're s-off, I don't think it makes a difference, unless you lost your unlock token and need another one. Then you've got to assign 22222222 as your cid (supercid no longer works on htcdev).

Ok so I got my package from UPS....opened it and noticed the tamper seal was already broken....since it was sold as a new unit that seal should have been sealed....i call ATT and and going to go to a store to swap it out for another one...good thing too cause the one I got had the 3.18 firmware so I couldn't root....here's to hoping I luck out on the next one

ok so lucked out and got a 2.20....anyways i unlocked the bootloader and rooted...i'm attempting s-off...not successful yet....but phone is trying to update....i turned off all data to the phone temp...how do i stop the phone from downloading the update??? i don't wanna brick it...can i let it update once i get s-off?

Just keep declining the update. It won't force it for a few days.

3.18
I just bought a new One X from a local AT&T store and it has firmware 3.18 with JB 4.1.1. It's the greatest phone I've ever had. Sucks that I can't root it though. I've been trying to think of ways to unlock the bootloader, but I guess it's the encryption that's the real deal.
I was thinking about trying the xfactor exploit just for kicks, although I read that they killed that with 3.18, not to mention the CID block on HTCdev.

Having trouble rooting (updated to 4.1.1)

Hi, I Just picked up the HTC One X earlier last month and decided that I wouldn't root until I realized that there's certain apps I use that won't run without root (sixaxis controller for example) so after I had already updated to 4.1.1, I figured that I'd enable USB debugging and so that I could receive root access using Hasoon 2000's simple all in one toolkit, however I can't get the xFactor root exploit that changes your CID working..
I'll get prompted to restore first backup, which doesn't work (starts, then ends immediately), it automatically tries a second time, then sends me to the bootloader. I then get prompted to check my CID before I proceed, and it still hasn't changed from my original 'Rogers01" CID to the 1111-sequence of numbers. I have the latest HTC drivers installed for my One X..
Anyone have a clue on what's going on here? Could this be happening because I updated?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
TL;DR version
I updated to 4.1.1. and I'm trying to root, can't change CID

I don't think you have to change cid with rogers just go to htcdev.com get you unlock token unlock boatloader push a recovery then flash a Rom and boot.I'mg

You can't if you on att because atts cid is blocked on htcdev.com and so you need to change your cid to supercid which we can't do on 4.1.1 yet
