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

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

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...

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.

Hi there!
I really would like to unlock my one S but I don't want to loose the warranty, I have seen this thread regarding the work that is under development for the one X http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604300 and I was wondering if something like this exist here too

There isn't really any active work toward s-off for the One S. I think the hope is that anything the Att One-X guys come up with will work on or phone also. So there is still hope.
Also, you can unlock your phone without going through HTCdev. Therefore not losing your warrenty but you would need files from someones phone who is unlocked. The link below explains it but DO NOT try it with the files in the link as it won't work. You need the files from a One S.

Well, I think that an exploit for the one X cannot be used for the one S because of different chip used on the devices... We have a Qualcomm one while the one X has tegra. I would check the link that you have pass me but I think that it will be hard to find someone who would pass me the right files...

The AT&T (and some other NA carriers) One X (AKA One XL) has the MSM8960 which is also a S4 Krait+Adreno 225 combo, just with an LTE modem.

It would work for sure. If someone has a device going back to t-mobile or HTC for replacement we could use their partitions.

TAMPERED isn't such a great issue. It goes away by just flashing a RUU.
The real issue is the RELOCKED message you get when relocking the bootloader. To prevent this RELOCKED message, and to have it displaying LOCKED isntead (this way the bootloader won't appear to have been ever unlocked), you have to achieve S-OFF. That's what they're working on, if I'm not mistaken.

It would still show tampered. The only reason you would want to do it this way is so your phone wouldn't show up in HTC's database of phones they unlocked. When you unlock through HTC Dev you agree that unlock the phone may void parts of your warranty.
And as the other poster above stated even if you locked the boot-loader again it would say Relocked instead of Locked. So there isn't really much a reason to do it this way.
Well I hope that a way to unlock the phone without leaving traces will eventually cames out. I do not want to use htcdev because I have to keep this phone for 30 months as I have taken it with an operator contract, so if something happen and I have unlocked it then I would have no warranty.

Well I got up today proud of myself for having made the decision to go ahead and root my AT&T HOX.
I have a 32 gig 10 inch Toshiba Thrive that is rooted running ICS. Then I discover there are several HOX models....and several firmwares.With sweaty palms I swiped one finger down and shaking almost too much to hit ABOUT scrolled on to the bitter truth of 2.20.502.7...
This phone cannot be rooted.
Now I must try to gather myself and use the technique I am lacking the most in.... Patience.
So Fredfly, I'm sure someone here can tell you better than I but as far as I can judge if your bro's firmware is like or higher than mine just take a number and have a seat.

I'm in the same boat Jonathan... just got mine this week and it's 2.2. Does anyone know if there is anyone working on rooting 2.2?

What version of the HOX do you have? The AT&T version? If the firmware is below 2.20, then you have a plethora of methods you can use if you simply look in the dev section. If you're so inclined, you can use the guide that I wrote for the Telus version in my signature. The attached software should work for the AT&T as well as the Telus and Rogers versions as well.
If you got your one X from Rogers then you're fine. First go to htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader. Then flash TWRP recovery (evita version) . Then put the zip file for a custom rom into the sdcard, boot into TWRP recovery, and install it. Then do a factory reset from TWRP and reboot. As a first rom to try, I recommend CleanROM or VIPER XL.
Hey guys thanks for the advice. I looked at HTC dev and its exactly the same as the one s. I checked my brother's firmware this weekend and its 1.8... I will attempt to root and unlock this weekend. Also thanks for the Rom recommendations. I will probably put viper on his phone as I am familiar with the venom team and know they do great work.

Its not firmware 2.20 and above. Its only firmware 2.20 that is unrootable (at this time). Its all about AT&T. Every other carrier is allowing the bootloader to be unlocked via HTCDev.com.
There have been a few version numbers higher than 2.20 (2.23, 2.29, 2.33). AFAIK, they can all be bootloader unlocked.
Hi I have a OX AT&T. I followed a tutorial yesterday. will install the recovery and achieve all good .. after the wipes and install the rom .. when I did reboot. is to become the cel off. no LED light or charge or anything I read you had to let him connected all night and nothing ..
Now the creator of the tutorial said that was only for international HTC and not for at&t.
someone please help me with my phone. I was only 3 days with my new phone and this happens to me :crying:
If you flashed a international ROM , I'm pretty sure that bricks your phone.
You may be out of luck.

It's the One XL firmware number. If you were on the most recent version, 2.20, there is no current fix for your predicament. If you were on anything earlier, you may be able to unbrick using the method in the Unbricking Evita thread.
If he had an att one x and it was 4.03 it has to be lower than 2.20 the 4.04 update came with 2.20
You could always try claiming you took one of their ota's and it killed the phone. Did that to sprint and got free replacement.

My phone was fine yesterday was running Scottsclean rom for months just fine. I Flashed 2.20 RUU and everything was fine.
I then allowed it to OTA Update and after returning to the phone, I believe its bricked does not light up when plugged in, Nor does it enter the bootloader. I do believe its bricked cause after holding Volume down and power it just enters Download mode.
Any help would be appreciated.

Believe my phones still in warranty. I did successfully re-flash it to 2.20 VIA RUU and relock before attempting to ATO update.
Do you think ill be fine to take it to att ?
That's too bad. ota keeper seems to be hit and miss. S-off folks seem to be OK when they ota. Theoretically you did everything right by RUU. I'd plug it into a wall mount and make sure it has a full charge then try getting it to boot into bootloader. Redpoint put a thread up a public service announcement with statement to this its in the stickies.

In many countries unlocking the boot loader can not void a warranty. Just like installing linux on a computer you bought won't void it. The manufaturer can't just invent escape clauses for when they will or won't cover faulty workmanship. It is like those little stickers that cover some key screw on electronics with "void if broken" are not worth the paper they are printed on.
Workmanship? AT&T blocked bootloader unlocking because of people messing up their phones. This person used an exploit to unlock and root his phone and now wants AT&T to fix the mistake he made by reading half the instructions

The man has a point that's just a disclaimer for them to deny but ultimately outs up to who you are warranting it through via service provider our HTC. And I know many have gotten there device warranted that were unlocked. All were through AT&T though.

I would take it in.. they won't check to to see if it's unlocked... Besides like you said it won't even come on . All you have to say is that you downloaded the update and afterwards it froze up and bricked(obviously you know what you did but they won't) I've been on a couple other threads with HTC one x+ and this seemed to work gl it's worth the try if you think about it. Just don't mention anything like you know about root or flashing anything for that matter lol if they ask about HTCdev unlock say it must be the previous owner lmao
I did this with my inspire awhile back when it first came out and I bricked it second day lmao. Got a new one same day haha stupid att haha
