[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.

Thank you, timmaaa. Do I need to lock the bootloader and so on? I saw it somewhere but can't find the link now.

To run the RUU? No, because you're s-off you don't need to do any of that, just run the RUU through Windows.

I'm doing the same thing, but to attempt to trade in my phone. I assume that after running the RUU I should relock the bootloader. I want to get rid of the red text.
*EDIT* nevermind. didn't realize that the RUU clears out the *TAMPERED* flag and gets rid of the red text. should be all good now.
One more question, timmaaa: after flashing RUU, the recovery partition will be replaced with the stock recovery, and the S-OFF and boot loader will be kept as it is (based on what I learned from other posts of you). What if I need to flash CM again? I am confused because not many people are doing what I am. Thanks!

Yes, the RUU will install the stock recovery. Your phone will still be s-off and will still have an unlocked bootloader. All you need to do is install TWRP recovery again and then you can flash any ROM you like. Full instructions on how to install a recovery can be found in my How-To Guide For Beginners thread, link in my signature.

Hi, timmaaa, I got a RUU error 155 when flashing RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Cingular_US_3.18.502.6_Radio_0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34_release_signed_With_Partial.exe.
Seems I need to re-lock the bootloader, which I am reluctant to do. Do I miss anything?

You don't need to relock if you're s-off. Are you using a 2.0 or 3.0 usb port? Are you using a HTC cable? Are you in fastboot mode? Have you uninstalled HTC Sync Manager?

Hi, timmaaa, I am using USB2.0 on windows XP, with a regular cable, not in fastboot mode, and haven't uninstalled HTC Sync Manager.
I will try flash in fastboot mode again.

You need to make sure the person you are trading with understands the phone is s-off and bootloader unlocked, and what that means.

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).

Yes, I later realized that One X is not available at all anymore from AT&T (and that it is supposed to be ISIS ready), and revised my above response accordingly.

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.
---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------
Here is the command to change from CID:
fastboot oem writecid CWS__001
(note that CWS__001 has two underscores)
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!

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.

I want to be able to flash the latest CM10.1 for my AT&T HTC One X. Details about the phone-
Unlocked with HTCDev. Hboot 1.14.0002. Have latest TWRP flashed. Says TAMPERED, UNLOCKED, and S-ON.
I tried a RUU to update the Hboot, but that didn't work.
How can I update the firmware so I can run latest ROMs like CM10.1? I've looked at similar questions, but the answers were for the International Version of the HTC One X.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Ok, so here's the 2nd question. Somehow I managed to wipe whatever ROM I had on here (CleanROM I think), so it doesn't boot to anything. I've tried flashing CleanROM 6 and 3.20.401.1 Odexed, both error out in TWRP.
I'm assuming I've managed to softbrick it?

I might have. What I was trying to do is clean out the phone to sell it, then get it updated, etc. I know in TWRP I ran probably every type of wipe, and I may have run Factory reset from the bootloader. It was a while ago and I set it aside, and now i've come back to it trying to get this phone sorted out.

If you did, then you're not gonna be able to so anything with ROMs. Run an ruu, reunlock, and report back.

I've tried running RUU, it gets about halfway and fails. Do I need to flash the stock recovery and relock first, then run a RUU?
U need to relock the bootloader
Use command prompt
"Fastboot oem lock" from fastboot then run the ruu.... I recommend getting s-off as well is very easy and fast and it will save u a lot of troubles in the future plus u will not have to lock the bootloader to flash an ruu

Yeah, but you need a ROM working to even do the s-off process. So getting a ROM loaded is my main priority at this point. I can get into Bootloader/Fastboot, and I can still get to TWRP. Flashing a ROM from TWRP isn't working, and neither is running the latest RUU from fastboot. I get ERROR 159 when I try to run the latest RUU. So do I need to fastboot oemlock, then try again?
Perhaps running the RUU that was previously on it would work? 2.20, is what firmware was on it last.

Yeah, you have to run the same/later ruu if you're not S-Off. And you'll have to relock and you can flash stock recovery to be safe (but I think it flashes for you).

It's alright, just a little surprised given the fact that HTC allows you to unlock and such, but their own RUU bricks the phone if in such a state.
I think it might be under warranty still, might try that route. Thanks for the help.

They state on their site that after unlocking the bootloader, RUU/OTA could brick you.
If you plan to try warranty with HTC, do not mention that you unlocked. They will charge you 200 straight up no matter what you say.

But was it the 3.18? It applies specifically for the AT&T 3.18 (and for some 3.17 JB RUUs on other carriers, and reported by some folks on this forum).
If you were able to run the 3.18 RUU successfully with SuperCID and S-on, I believe this is the first I've heard of it.

SuperCID as implemented on the AT&T One X is a mod/hack, and therefore not explicitly "allowed" by HTC. They can't really be held responsible for the effects of it.
SuperCID shouldn't be "expected" to brick under these conditions (worked fine with pre-JB RUUs), and nobody here has really been able to explain exactly why the phone bricks from SuperCID. But unfortunately, it does.
Hi everyone,
This is my very first post and I'll admit I am a NOOB.
As I've searched XDA and Google for my questions, I am really at a loss and thought I would pose my question(s) to the community.
I have a Rogers HTC One X(Evita) running CM 10.0, I am currently S-ON, with TWERP 2.3.1
I would like to install the latest CM but it would seem my HBOOT (1.11) needs to be upgraded.
My first question is if my CID is Roger001 is this similar to being SuperCID?
If so, which firmware is recommended? Which is the latest HBOOT I should upgrade to?
I guess this brings me to my next question, what exactly do I need to be able to upgrade my HBOOT?
I've seen a few walkthroughs but none mention Roger001 as CID and I'd rather not risk bricking my phone.
If you need any other information, please let me know.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
You definitely need to update your phone in order to flash the latest cm ROM. But, with your phone in its current state you'll brick it. You don't have SuperCID (11111111), you'll definitely need to get that first, then get s-off, then you can RUU up to the latest. Links to everything you need are in this thread.

Thanks Tim.
I'll give that a whirl and let you know how it turns out.
Another silly question, what exactly is RUU?
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
RUU stands for ROM Update Utility. It basically takes your phone back to being completely stock, including recovery. The beauty of being s-off when you run an RUU is the s-off status survives the process, and so will your unlocked bootloader. So all you need to do when it's finished is flash TWRP again via fastboot, then flash your ROM via TWRP.

Ahh
That makes perfect sense!
If I wanted to stay stock, I could?

I haven't had a chance to try anything as of yet but I've been doing some reading, could I use the One X Att all-in-one kit 3.0.1 to obtain SuperCID as well S-Off?

So, I flashed that latest Rogers RUU using ARUWizard, everything looked to be okay, as now I am now on H-Boot 2.14.
However, I cant boot into anything..
For some reason, when it tries to boot up it shows the CyanogenMod logo when loading but nothing.
Windows recognizes my phone and tries to install new drivers but fails.
I can boot into the bootloader but when I hit recover, the screen goes black and then after awhile a red ! with a phone beneath it shows up.
Any ideas anyone?

Ok, firstly you didn't need to relock your bootloader to run the RUU because you have s-off. And what exactly is aruwizard? And how did you flash CM after you ran the RUU?

I followed the steps from the link you gave me, under the RUU section, as there was a guide on how to install an RUU for Rogers HTC One X.
It said to relock the phone, so, I did.
ARWizard was part of the guide.
The weird thing is, I didn't flash CM, I flashed the Rogers RUU, so, I'm not even sure how CM10 is even on my phone.
I can get to the Bootloader but I can't launch TWERP and my windows PC now doesn't recognize my phone, it says installing drivers but never does. I had HTC Sync installed in hopes that it would help, it didn't.
Is my only option to do a Factory Reset in Hboot? I've read ill lose all my info on the SD card.
Thanks

I really do appreciate the help, by the way.
I'm not familiar with that method, but it seems to me that it doesn't do a full RUU. And evidently it hasn't because you still have cm on your phone. What hboot version does your phone list in bootloader now? You could just run the at&t 3.18 RUU which will do the whole job. You're s-off so it should be fine.

I am 2.14 HBOOT and S-off.
The problem is that while my Windows PC recognizes my phone, it doesnt load the drivers and therefore, I cant send any ADB commands.
I am not even able to go into TWERP.
How will I be able to run the AT&T if I cant push any ADB commands from my PC?
You don't need any adb commands to run an RUU, but you do need the pc to recognize the phone. I'd try uninstalling all drivers, then installing them again to see if it helps.

Ota is not the same as aruwizard zip. Aru zip is exactly the same as Rom.zip you find inside ruu files, evita ones get the name pj83img.
Not sure why everyone thinks ota is ruu, nowhere is it refered to as being the same thing.
Maybe the firmware.zip in the ota managed to flash though hence your hboot and other firmware was upgraded.
If you follow the "or" method for flashing the zip it actually should work. The better correct answer is once s-off to download/install the latest ruu available that you want and ota up from there.

That's what I thought, but if he has used this aru zip, it's had the opposite effect. He now has the upgraded hboot but the previous ROM is still intact.

Thanks guys.
I'll try uninstalling the phone drivers and reinstall them, hopefully, it'll allow my PC to see my phone.
Worse case scenario, if my computer doesn't load the drivers for my phone, what are my options?
What if I select factory reset from HBOOT?
Hi guys, first time poster - I want to install the following custom rom...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2442946
... and being new to android modding, do not want to brick it by doing something wrong.
I gather i need to set up superCID and then set to s-off - would anyone be able to point me in the right direction on how to do these correctly for a Telstra phone?
My phone is rooted with CWM, from whati gather (it says "ClockworkMod recovery" in recovery mode).
Thanks

You might already have SuperCID, you can use a fastboot command to check. The command is:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
If it comes back as anything other than 11111111 you can use this method to get SuperCID.
Once you have SuperCID you can use this method to get s-off.

Thanks, i will take a closer look soon. Is it true that for Telstra phones the CID needs to be 22222222, or is 11111111 okay as well?

The 22222222 CID only applies to at&t phones trying to unlock their bootloader via htcdev, this is because at&t stock CID (cws__001) plus 11111111 CID have been blocked at htcdev. For your purposes 11111111 will be fine.

Thanks for the info - i know i need to superCID as i checked last night and CID was TELST001 (from memory). Will use 11111111.
No problems, did you use the fastboot command the check your CID? I only ask because there are apps available which claim to display your CID but they show the original CID, not the current one.

I tried so many things last night i couldn't tell you exactly what i did, haha! Will try your way and see what it says.
A quick question - in regard to the facepalm link, it says "Download patcher and unzip it in your working directory" - can this be any folder on my phone (eg: Downloads)? I'm also guessing the other file (OneX.zip) goes in the same directory?
No you place the extracted patcher files and the PJ8312000-OneX.zip into your fastboot folder on your pc.
You need to have adb/fastboot and HTC drivers installed on your pc to do the s-off process.

You should keep better track of things you are doing or you will end like NASA on Apollo 1 and not knowing what went wrong.
To repair something you need to know what you did to break it.
Big thanks timmaaa, have upgraded successfully!

Also, with firmware 2.15 - i would actually like to keep it as stock as possible, so perhaps the firmware upgrade would be the better option? I have found a link that looks like it goes to the correct download:

Would i be right in saying the instructions for updating the kernel would be the same as at the following link:

Thanks again for your help.
The first link is incorrect, you can find the Beastmode kernel in our development section. The kernel you just install in recovery.
The last link you quoted is where you'll find the 2.15 firmware, and the install instructions see in the first post on that thread (it's a manual install using fastboot).

Thanks - looks easy enough. Can i ask what why i would install Beastmode instead of the firmware upgrade? From what i gather, it is to overclock the CPU?
You can leave the Beastmode settings stock, it's just an easier and safer fix rather than upgrading firmware. You can OC if you wish to of course. There's always a small risk involved with anything that touches your hboot.

I promise if this works you wont have to hear my noob questions anymore!!
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.
What I see in fastboot:
TAMPERED
UNLOCKED
Evita PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.14.0000
RADIO-0.23a.32.09.29

I have tried the script, it failed, manual method, that failed.

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 i want to only rooting device, this video help me ? cause title for htc one."but my device hox"

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.

Absolutely nowhere within this forum does it say you need s-off to root, because you don't. I've already told you that. I can't view that video for some reason but unless it specifically says it's for the Evita don't use it. All you need is in the Everything Evita link in my signature, do not get information anywhere else, XDA is the only place you need to look.
As I've already told you, if you want to root you need to unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery first. In the link I mentioned there are guides on how to do this, you need to follow the guide that pertains to your current firmware version.

Hello,
So I have a HTC One XL Telstra (Australia) evita phone. I purchased it already rooted and I want to take it back to stock. I managed to RELOCK my phone back and now it only boots into the bootloader.
I have found the following RUU RUU_Evita_UL_Telstra_WWE_1.89.841.9_Radio_0.18c.32 .09.01_10.93a.32.20L_release_266699_signed but when I try to load it onto my phone I get an error that my bootloader is too new for this file. For the last two days I have been searching for a newer RUU but come up with nothing. Also CID hasnt been changed.
Now I am stuck, I am quite switched on with all OS but this is a first for me with Android. The following are the details in my bootloader:
EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.14.0000
RADIO-0.23a.32.09.29
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also I don't have any backups.
Cheers!
You can't RUU backwards while you're s-on, that's your problem. Unlock your bootloader again, flash a custom rooted ROM, get s-off, then you can run any Evita RUU you want to.

Now this is where the fun starts, I thought of that but when I got to unlock it in htcdev the identification token is invaild for some unknown reason even though the CID hasnt been changed.
The idea is to just get it back to all stock.
Do you still have the original unlock token?

Scratch that I just got a valid token but the whole purpose was to keep the bootloader locked with the stock OTA

Half way there, up to s-off. Do you know of any tutorials specifcally related to the one xl? Btw thanks for all the help.
There are two s-off methods for our phone, Facepalm and Rumrunner. Facepalm won't work for you because it requires SuperCID, so Rumrunner is the one you want. Just go to that website and it explains everything. I haven't personally used it because I got s-off ages ago but it looks like a piece of cake.
