okay so ive already bricked 1 device because of the ota update my question is can i root/re-unlock the boot loader with out bricking this device? also ive been reading that htcdev now blocks supercid 111111 so if going to try getting another unlocktoken will i need to fastboot write cid 222222? also if my device is S-Off then why is it when i try to write in fastboot it returns the error Failed(Remote Not Allowed)... where in my evo 3d allows writing and it also is S-Off and Relocked

S-off on our device does not let you write certain things with a locked bootloader. Why? I'm not really sure.
You can't brick unlocking the bootloader unless you're crazy stupid and doing things wrong.
Do you not have the original unlock token from when you unlocked last time?
If not, does your current rom have root? If so you should be able to hex edit your Cid.
If not you're sol until 3.18 root comes out.

You'll have to wait until 3.18 root is achieved then unfortunately as you cannot change your CID in your phone's current state.
For future reference, don't bother relocking the bootloader after achieving s-off on this phone. It's pointless and creates issues like this.

okay but to verify i am s-off if i flash the unlock token what are the chances of a brick? mainly asking because i am wanting to do the 3 button remap mod and the new elemental kernel as well and only reason i relocked the bootloader and ran the JB ruu is because my basebands all except for lte kept losing signal at random
Can he not write a different cid since he's s off?

With the evita, s-off + super cid is not enough, you require an unlocked bootloader aswell.
I cannot boot into ROM, but stuck at Bootloader. And I'm relocked.
The only thing I have is Fastboot USB.
I would like to RUU into a Stock ROM. How to do so?
Well ruu should be pretty self explanatory. If you are in the boot loader just run the ruu. Since you are relocked shouldn't take much work. Are you s-off? Why not just grab an AT&T ROM and flash it over. Sure it will be rooted, but delete the super user app
Sent from my Carbon-ize Evita using xda-developers app
Yeah, I just figured it. RUU was some executable file. I thought it was more complicated. No I'll just leave it like this and not S-Off, thanks. Apparently I'm not more than 30% battery though. But how do I see the battery from the Bootloader screen?
I dont believe you can. Only from recovery. Just let it charge for about 20-30 mins and you should be good

I think probably I can only install 3.17 RUU is because my last working ROM was CM10.1. After that I tried Sense ROMs but many failed hence I thought of doing Relock and RUU.
Is there any other thing I can do in my bootloader state? I tried Factory Reset.
Is it possible I attain S-OFF from here and flash recovery and flash OTA from there?
Or even better yet, can I try doing OTA from this state?

I'm telling you this because I don't want you to go through what I did.
I'm on a telus one x, did not need super cid to unlock my bootloader. I relocked and flashed stock recovery, ran RUU. The RUU completed successfully but my phone was a full brick. Only JTAG would have saved it.
If you want to RUU, re-unlock your bootloader, flash recovery, flash stock rooted sense rom, hex edit your CID to 11111111 and S-OFF, then RUU. It's a lot safer now that you've unlocked your bootloader and rooted.

It's okay, I was running an international One XL, and luckily RUU was smooth, now the problem is solved and my phone has been sold and changed hands .
hello everyone, android user and my device s-off in the first year I want to do but how to do it without the support of htcdev? Is there a program available? When I unlock my device also has root? Am I going to root sturdy at the same time to s-off? I just want to get rid of device applications that official. 5 4.2.2 installed on my device, this device can sense it possible to root for?
Thank you.
I think you're confused as to what s-off is and unlocking is, they're two entirely different things. You don't use htcdev to get s-off. You use htcdev to unlock your bootloader, and no you cannot unlock your bootloader without htcdev. Unlocking your bootloader doesn't give you root, after unlocking the bootloader you must install a custom recovery and then you can gain root. After gaining root you can get SuperCID and then you can get s-off. If all you want to do is remove some system apps, then you'll just need to unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery, and install root.
Sent from my Evita
You don't need s-off to delete bloatware (pre-installed apps). Just use HTCDev.com to unlock the bootloader. Then install custom recovery, then either flash SU or a rooted ROM to get root.
The process to s-off is simple (see Facepalm method in the Original Android Development subforum). However, it requires SuperCID. Since the CID is protected on Sense 5, you will not be able to SuperCID (and therefore S-off).
But as already mentioned, you don't need S-off to root and delete bloatware.
I'm at a loss and somewhat confused.
I read in one place that I need to s-off to update my radio, but in order to do that I need super-cid.
so I'm trying to change my cid from ROGER001 to 11111111.
Now I'm reading that I can s-off without super-cid? All I'd like to do is update my radio and kernel so my phone stops losing signal and stops rebooting. I should also mention that I already went to htcdev and unlocked my bootloader.

Nope, wherever you read that, its completely incorrect.
It says right in the s-off method instructions, in big bold print that SuperCID is required: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071
If you are having trouble with s-off, the other solution to random reboots on Sense 5 is to install the Beastmode kernel.

The x-factor exploit fails since its looking for the AT&T CID. For other CIDs, you need to edit it manually using the hex edit method.
If you have trouble with installing Beastmode, I think some folks have had to install Beastmode 2.0 before installing 3.5.
After many attempts, boot loops beastmode reloaded 3.5 finally took.
So now I need to ask if I need s-off, i've done everything except upgrade my radio.
I'll only update my radio if the antenna drops keeps dropping out.
Well, radio went out, no reboots yet, I'll see what else I can try.

No it won't work, it's not for this phone. Only ever use guides specifically for this device or you could brick it. As I've already told you, you absolutely cannot root this device without unlocking the bootloader through htcdev first. I'm not sure why you're still searching for ways to do it, they do not exist. There's no point in coming here for advice if you don't even listen to the answers you're given.

[Q]~[HELP] SuperCID, Unlocked, Rooted, and S-OFF, how to restore to stock AT&T ROM?
Hi, geeks,
For my AT&T HTC One X, I have followed you guys all the way to here now: with SuperCID, Bootloader Unlocked (via HTC Dev), Rooted of course, and S-OFF (with touchscreen firmware down-graded).
Now I want to go back to AT&T stock ROM to use the ISIS wallet. Could you please tell me how? I am worried that my phone get bricked!
Thank you so much!
You can just flash a stock at&t ROM which you'll find in our Android Development section. Or you can run the 3.18 RUU. This will also flash stock recovery, hboot, radio, and other firmware modules. The ROM is probably the better and easier option.

Yes, the RUU will install the stock recovery. Your phone will still be s-off and will still have an unlocked bootloader.

If you think you might still want to flash custom ROMs, you need to ask yourself why you want to return to stock in the first place.
Going back to stock if you are s-off, custom recovery, etc. is a step backward, not forward. Aside from getting on the correct hboot, firmware, etc. (or selling/trading your phone like the guy above), there is no benefit to going through all the hassle to running the RUU to get back to stock. Just flash a stock rooted ROM as timmaaa originally mentioned.
EDIT: Missed the part in the OP where it mentioned ISIS. See my response below (#13).
An update (for the forum): In fastboot mode, I have flashed Stock RUU successfully, without locking boot loader. After this, even in stock ROM, ISIS still doesn't work. I think it's caused by the SuperCID and S-OFF.
Timmaaa, do you know how I can SAFELY get SuperCID and S-OFF fixed? Thank you!

Reading around, root seems to be the only mod that interferes with ISIS. Its unlikely that s-off would interfere with ISIS. SuperCID? Its possible. Changing from SuperCID is very easy with fastboot. Just search for the command.
Also, be aware that you need a ISIS compatible SIM ("secure element SIM") available from your carrier.

Could be. HTC One X is not available on att.com now, so your link can't explain at this moment.
From here, https://www.paywithisis.com/get-started.html, it says AT&T HTC One X is compatible.
In addition, I do have a ISIS compatible SIM card from AT&T. The reason I suspect it is due to CID is that it is “heard" from this forum that ISIS doesn't work if you put an AT&T SIM card in the T-mobile version of GN3 (unlocked).

It could also be that they are looking at the phone model number. So SuperCID is a possibility, but not certain.
Its easy to change from SuperCID with a simple fastboot command. Just search this forum for the proper syntax.

Thank you! I learned from this forum that changing S-OFF to S-ON is very risky, and currently S-OFF relies on a SuperCID, so I think it's also risky to change the CID back. Have you ever tried? I need more opinions on this before I take the risk.

I honestly doubt s-off is blocking ISIS. S-off is exclusively an HTC invention, and I doubt ISIS would care about such a thing. I would recommend to leave s-off alone.
I wouldn't say its "risky" to change CID. As long as you still have s-off, I don't see any reason to still have SuperCID. But even so, you can still use the correct exploit to change back to SuperCID.
Hi, timmaaa, could you please shed some lights on this (change back to stock CID) please? Thanks!
here is my other post about ISIS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49822333

Everything that @redpoint73 has said is correct. There's pretty much no risk involved in changing your CID back to stock, having s-off does not rely on SuperCID. You can try changing your CID using the command that redpoint gave before.
There's pretty much no risk involved with going from s-off to s-on either. I don't know where you read that but I believe you're misunderstanding the information. Personally I wouldn't go back to s-on though because I don't believe that is affecting your ability to run ISIS. Plus getting s-off again can be tricky sometimes.

OK, tried to root my HTC One X, got the HTCDev unlock, but could never get an S-OFF on 5.18 firmware. Did have a CID unlock, so set it back to OEM Relock, and have tried to RUU the exact firmware back. It says its sucsessful but get a loop condition, White HTC, then a strange black screen, when I get back to Bootloader and tried again, same result. Any ideas, attached are pic. of strange screen and Bootloader

What were you trying to do in the first place? When you say CID unlock do you mean bootloader unlock? I think you're a bit confused about what you've been doing. Why did you relock the bootloader? What is your CID currently? Do not attempt to run the RUU again until we can confirm what your CID is, you could brick your phone.

Confirmed CID is showing all 11111111, bootloader screen now says ***TAMPERED*** then ***UNLOCKED*** and still has S-ON, and this was a 5.18, which I think was my mistake for trying. Cannot run RUU utility, it wont complete, can get into TWRP recovery 2.6.0.0 but not able to flash, or anything. At this time would love to be able to just flash back to my stock.
Flash a Sense ROM, get s-off, run the RUU.

THANKS! That did the trick, I knew I was close, but thought I had to get S-OFF before a flash of ROM.
