I have a Htc flyer wifi every time i try to use revolutionary it says i cant because its version 1.11.0011 so i tried finding the RUU to downgrade from Honeycomb which my version is:
RUU_Flyer_BrightstarUS_WWE_X.XX.1540.XX
I tried to download it from filefactory.com/f/dd1c2aacb4e9d3c9 but they charge for that size of file due to the amount of people downloading from their website right now that being the only website i can find it from (mind you i am a newb)
Does anyone have a clear method of how to S-off this device? I regret upgrading to honeycomb ever since i rooted my phone and would really wish to root my tablet.
So, what did you come up with? Did you s-off your device? I have a 1.11.0011 device too.
Re: S-off issue
I am having the same problem with 1.11 and trying to get revolutionary to work. I just got a used HTC Flyer from someone and only bought it so I could mod it considering how horribly it runs unmodded. Now I cant seem to get past the first step in process of rooting and flashing a new rom. So did you ever get it to work, if so then how? I am trying to search different forums on many sites but still come up with nothing I havent already found on xda. Im also having issues with my adb and fastboot not always working, sometimes its a go and other times its not. ever heard of this?
First one. I am a Noob, nice Video by the way. And I have searched all over this forum and between thinking I had a regular HTC ONE X, and then finding the AT&T One X Page, It just got all confusing for me. Here is my issue.
I have a AT&T HTC One X, Its great, It was on 1.85 Version, I had used the 1.85 Method to Root the Device, but I could not Unlock it, but that was ok, because all I needed was Wifi Tethering, and Titanium Backup. Then the OTA update game. and of course like a Noob, I clicked yes, Not thinking...
Now the bootloader still says that the phone is Tampered. and Locked. (it never said unlocked., I know that is not possible yet for the AT&T HTC One X) And of course the Check Root app says I am not rooted, and Wifi-Tethering does not work anymore, etc.
If its suppose to be back to normal now, since i did the OTA update, why does it still say Tampered?
And is there any way to Re-Root at the stage I am at, or do I have to wait till the next rooting option becomes available?
Thanks for suffering through this Noobs questions. Hopefully someone is nice enough to help out. Or at least explain it to be. I am fine if I have to wait and then Re-Root it later. I'm not not sure if I am still good.
Flash at&t ruu to remove tampered flag.
Unfortunately if you never unlocked there is no way to root your phone now. As stated, you can run an RUU to remove the tampered flag but there's no need, don't worry about it. Just sit tight until a new root exploit is found.

I think they mean you need this... http://dl3.htc.com/application/htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012.exe
Thanks for the quick responses, I assumed as much, in having to wait for the new 2.20 Rooting Method. Now the link above that he posted, the RUU, I just need to download that, and run it. (I tried running an RUU a few weeks back because I thought, "Oh maybe I can run the 1.85 RUU, and revert back to 1.85 And then Re-Root.) So, run the RUU, and then it will remove the Tampered flag, but it will also erase all data currently on phone, if I am not mistaken?
And is the above RUU, the proper one for the AT&T HTC One X phone that I have?
And btw I am a little pissed that other countries got a 32gb version. Guess I should blame AT&T for that one...

I yanked that link from the HTC website for the AT&T phone. As for the tampered thing, I don't know... Couldn't hurt. You'll probably lose your data.

Actually a bootloader unlock was easy with 1.85 by just getting SuperCID, but since you OTA'd to 2.20 without unlocking your bootloader you now are stuck with a non-rootable, non-unlockable phone for the time being.
It still says Tampered because you rooted in the first place. Run the 2.20 RUU that was posted and it will get rid of the tampered flag. You will want to back up the contents of your SD card first.
Also, please post questions in Q&A, not in general. If you read the huge NOOB post in every section it says this.
Hello community!! I have been reading through the site for a couple of days now, and I'm still confused which rooting method to use since the At&t, and Rogers are mixed together. Sometimes the techniques used are interchanged, sometimes not. Well my question, or problem is is that I am trying to root the Rogers HTC OneX, running the latest installed updates, which are;
Android version
4.1.1
HTC Sense version
4+
Software/build numer
3.17.631.2
HTC SDK API level
4.63
Kernel version
3.4.10-g240d4d5
I'm trying to achieve root because I want to remove bloatware from my phone.I do not know how to achieve root to do this, I don't mind temporary root, aslong as it keeps the changes I made during that root session. I've read around, and some of the posts that are relevant to my problem are outdate by almost 7 months, with users claiming they're having problems with the method given, and these links were directed from a page that was only edited a couple days ago, so it's a bit confusing, especially when At&t, and Rogers are always jumbled around interchangeably. Anyways,I'd love up-to-date instructions on how to succesfully root this phone. Do I need to unlock the bootloader first? If I have to unlock the bootloader, fine(I know..HTCDev), would someone also provide me a way to unroot aswell, and lock the bootloader back up for a smooth stock startup, incase I want to sell the phone some day? My goal is to get root, remove bloatware, and be able to restore to stock when needed.
This wonderful community's posts also helped me root my Rogers Samsung Galaxy S3!!!

Here is the oneclick method.
Now as for your software this could be tricky... This may or may not work cause you have the latest build from htc. The latest exploit developed is for 2.20. I cant think of any issues of trying this. I just simply may not take. Use at your own risk kind of thing though.

I tried running that program(TOOL] HTC One X (Evita) All-In-One Toolkit V2.1 [1-22-2013] [PERM), but my CID keeps coming back ROGER001, instead of 11111111, therefore the included exploit does not work, But if I manually unlock it through HTCdev, can I resume the steps through that program? Thanks!!
PS: I found out my hboot version is 1.94.000
I unlocked my bootloader through the HTCdev site successfully. Now i'm stuck on actually granting myself root. I've used a couple of files thrown around here, but nothing seems to work. Even temporary root that keeps changes. Anyone?
Once you are bootloader unlocked. Install twrp I believe you need 2.3.3.1 on your firmware and then flash a superuser zip

X-Factor exploit is not needed for the Rogers version (or any other carrier aside AT&T). And as the OP found out, don't think it works on his version, anyway.
For all other variants (besides AT&T) just unlock the bootloader via HTCDev.com, install TWRP custom recovery, and flash SU or a rooted ROM.
Good to know. Thanks! I hate att more every day. im moving to canada

So, I may have unlocked the bootloader for nothing! I also realized my hboot version was 2.14, NOT 1.94 like I thought. Will there be any harm in trying to flash TWRP, and root anyhow? Will this brick my device, or simply not take? If TWRP installs, and I push SU, and then I get undesired glitchy results, can I restore back to stock, or atleast an original Ruu? Thanks
You got is easy! Just flash recovery and superuser and your golden.

I told him the steps read on page one. I helped him and it was solved.
Hi everyone,
I just received a used AT&T One X in the mail and was hoping to root and install CM10. The phone came with 1.85 and I was able to get root using the manual method, but hasoon2000's all-in-one tool fails repeatedly to execute the xfactor exploit. I accepted both of the backups on my phone, and as the phone reboots into the bootloader the command line prints "[-] Failed" and returns that my CID is still CWS_001.
I've tried just about everything I can think of and I'm about to give up. I've read that updating to 2.20 with the RUU and then retrying the all-in-one tool has worked, but the RUU will not complete either (I repeatedly get a low battery or USB connection error despite a fully charged battery and correct USB drivers).
Is there anything else I'm missing, or should I just give up and return this thing?
Put the phone down and read read read. The last thing you want to do is upgrade from 1.85 to 2.2 by ota or by ruu.

I used the adb method for 1.85. I didn't get any errors at the command line, until I try to get superuser access in adb and I get "/system/bin/sh: su not found."
MOD EDIT: unhelpful.
Anyway, it's getting late so I'll check in on this tomorrow. If someone has some insight, I would appreciate it.

SuperSU says that I don't have the SU binary installed. I thought maybe the binary linked in the 1.85 rooting method post might be the problem, so I tried pushing the binary from androidsu.com and I still have the same problem - no su access at the command line, SuperSU says no binary is installed, busybox won't install. My bootloader does say TAMPERED.
Solved! For anyone who finds this later with the same problem, I tried the 2.20 RUU in fastboot for the 4th or 5th time, and it finally worked! Once I was on 2.20 I was able to easily use the all in one tool to unlock my bootloader.

Lol... that's why all in one tools are bad for the community. If you actually read the compilation thread, you'll find a 1 click Super CID and root script for 1.85.
Hope you don't brick your device soon.

He will eventually want to downgrade just like all 1.14 hboot users. He would have to search and read for the script though, oh no.

Yeah, I tried both of those and neither worked. But again, thanks for assuming that you're the only person who reads the stickies. Jesus, this is a hostile forum. Every other device I've owned the communities have been welcoming and helpful, but here it's always LOL CAN'T ROOT? GO READ NEWB. When I posted here I was hoping to get some feedback from someone who might understand what was going on, but I guess that's not the majority of people on this forum. If someone finds this thread with the same problem in the future, I hope they can figure it out as I did.
I had hboot 1.14 when I got the phone, and I see no reason to downgrade now that I've got CM10 up and running, which is all I wanted in the first place.
No you didn't. You were on hboot 1.09. Don't claim we don't know jack when you clearly don't know what you're talking about.
It would be safe to say it's user error if you can't use the super CID script or 1.85 root others else seems to be able to use them without fail.
And this forum seems to be filled with noobs posting asking for root when there are people who take time out of their life to compile resource for noobs to read. If you followed the instructions to the tee, everything would work.
Thank you all for your help, I have learned a great deal in just a short time of reading thanks to your contributions. I have been away for a few months and last I checked, this exploit was not available. I was very pleased to find the wealth of new information and have been reading about the current exploit, and then Hasoon's GUI soon after. But then I too had the same error when attempting both methods, the command line prints "[-] Failed" and returns that my CID is still CWS_001. I am fairly certain my version is 2.20. But I see you mention HBOOT 1.14 Could someone tell me do I need to downgrade to Hboot 1.09 first? Also, point me to the information thread on this or do I just need the Jewel/Evita toolkit? Thanks again for such great support.
Nevermind I figured it out, thank you for all the good reading.
Hello,
I got the htox first day out was super excited, was happy with stuck for awhile and then rooted and unlocked on 1.82 (one click made it easy) and unlocked on the dev site. I ran for a long time on KingKang ROM 4.1 and just recently started geting bored and wanted to upgrade more. I have been bouncing around on 4.2.2 Roms like liquidsmooth/xylon (Btw thx azn and Rohan), but I am noticing all these different things saying S-OFF required. I have wiped everything off the phone and tried diff kernels but always seem to have more issues then everyone else (Screen on in calls, FC, Random reboots). Thinking I missed something? Do I need to update to S-OFF everything talks about 2.22 and OTA for S-OFF? My bootloader screen is saying EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL. sorry if this is poorly put together
Was I supposed to update to 2.20 then push ota and s-off? or is there a way to s-off on older versions. How do I see what version I was on prior to my root I want to make sure it was 1.82.
Don't update if your rooted unless you have s-off

Have you attempt s-off yet? Might he a good idea.

I would not s-off or do anything else to your phone until you have a better handle on what you're doing. It's obvious from that post that you lack a good understanding of these changes you want to make (not surprising since you one-clicked).
S-off is just a security setting, not something you install or update to. It's not dependent on software version. You need to read up on what it means, since it removes almost all restrictions on changes you can make. Good if you know what you're doing, dangerous if you don't.
These random issues you're experiencing seem to occur when running Jelly Bean roms on older firmware. I was on 1.82 and had the same reboot issues. I ran the 3.18 ruu and it cleared things up--but you must be s-off before doing it or you may brick your phone.
What iElvis said.
S-off just means "security off" or that all security checks are bypassed. That is all. Its not going to magically fix any random bugs, in and of itself.
I've also had the phone since release, until very recently have been S-on, and flashed many a custom ROM with none of the issues you describe for the most part (only a few random reboots which were very probably a ROM issue). Its more likely due to kernel mismatches, issues with the ROM itself, or possibly other user error (improper wiping before flashing the ROM).
This is one of those instances, if you don't know what it is, you probably shouldn't be doing it. So at a minimum, do your homework and read up.
I suggest leaving a stock rom with root to do s-off without problems.

Do you really notice a difference since 3.18? I mean the 4.2.2 ROMs I been on run pretty good, although not flawless. I been on 1.85 and been wanting to try the latest, just worried about the touchscreen outcome. I know there's a tut on downgrading touchscreen but I always ask myself if its necessary... Don't fix what isn't broken right lol...
But if you genuinely think it cleared up a few things I might give it a go..

S-OFF has nothing to do with software or hboot verison. It's a security flag. S-ON means security checks are done prior to/during RUU and flashing of some things.
S-OFF means no security checks are done, flash whatever you want.
Sometimes just because something is changed and a security check is done, for example, if your CID is different from what the RUU you are running expects it to be, your phone bricks.
For the record, the amount of phones you've rooted has nothing to do with knowledge or experience as most phones are crazy easy to root and technically require no knowledge to do so and it's very possible not to brick while remaining ignorant. Your chances of bricking are much lower if you understand what you are doing and every phone is different any way. so.. yeah.
S-off is specific to Android and specific to HTC devices (and certain ones at that). There are several threads in the this (AT&T One X) forum that discuss what s-off means, and what it enables you to do, so just do a search a read up.
I can see this ending badly.
OK I didn't know it was HTC only. I will read more than ty.

It depends on what you mean by "not flawless." Don't do it if you just want to be "smoother." I did it out of frustration with the 10+ random reboots I was getting every day because of the wifi bug. That was cleared up. My phone has been running very smoothly, but if you decide to do it, be sure you understand the touchscreen firmware thing.
S-off in a nutshell allows you to flash kernels via recovery instead of using fast boot. And if your gonna try and get s-off you need to be somewhat familiar with adb. If you don't know what I'm talking about then you probably shouldn't attempt it.
