What do you think we have been trying to do?
Interested in how you got the soff model though.

Weren't we already discussing this in another thread?
I'd like to see proof of your S-OFF. Take a pic and post it.
HTCDev does **NOT** provide S-OFF, and if you've achieved it, you'll be the first person here to do it.

there....lol god damn finally i'm lucky for once...

Amazing! Sorry for doubting you. Did you happen to check if S-OFF was present before unlocking at htcdev.com? And just to be clear, you didn't run any other method beyond what's explicitly described on htcdev.com?

yes..checked it was s-on before...
I did a lot of other crap though...but it shouldn't be related...
and last night I finally want to root my phone...so may as well unlock the bootloader...too
and here this is what i got...

um
tag!

Nah, he said it's unbranded. So it's RUNNING on AT&T's network, but it's not an AT&T phone. As HTC has said (in not so many words), AT&T's the one that doesn't want an unlocked bootloader, it may be that Rogers doesn't have the same restrictions.

But either way it shouldn't be S-OFF should it? If it was unlocked through HTCdev it would still be S-ON.

I've got a Rogers one, and unlocking my bootloader did not give me S-OFF.

Right. I've never heard of htcdev providing S-OFF before. Didn't do it on my One X, didn't do it on my Jetstream. This is quite curious indeed. Maybe I'll try unlocking again.
niceppl, what OS did you unlock with? 32/64bit? where did you get your "adb" executable from? Sorry for the onslaught of questions, but obviously we all want S-OFF!

heh yeah, just looking for anything that might explain the difference. i wonder if Rogers secretly has more than one model, or maybe niceppl somehow got a dev unit by accident. There were 4 or 5 units of the HP Touchpad that made it into retail outlets with Qualcomm's development build of Android on it, so who knows.

seriously dude contact kenneth, jsl, sk8, the devs in our dev section. this may help them.

Is it at all possible that you may have used the Nexus AIO tool to try to unlock the bootloader? i say this because this section and theres have been easy to mistake if you just CTRL + F to find the phone. I found myself in the wrong forum mistakenly :| also maybe not having the ADB version different but having a different set of tools might have something. Maybe (no offense ) you mistakenly using the wrong tool might have been a godsend!!!
can you provide us with a logcat and a whole onslaught of information about what software you used and what versions they are.
Further more, i dont know if you do this but i tend to use super tool packages as a workaround from having to download the sdk and all that since the tools are included in there. if so could you send me a list of the files you added to the folders and what they are??
Thank you so much in advance

nice!
if this is all true, then please share, this will help a lot of people, has anyone else been able to do this?
and maybe i'm being dumb, but is the at&t version very different?

RUU 1.94.6

I managed to get my hands on a newer RUU and can confirm bootloader unlock, cwm and rooting are still working.

maybe posting the build.prop will give us more info? android version etc.

when the update arrives OTA can I update directly through the software update if i am rooted?

Tell us if it has a different hboot version. The new EVO ota added a much more strict hboot, as well as added wp to more partitions. Those who accepted, that were not already s off can no longer s off, cannot flash kernals, or radios while unlocked. Is hboot updated??? A yes or no should not jeopardize your employment and could offer the community enough time to warn the members. Thus avoiding the forum being flooded with the people silly enough to accept an ota posting help me threads all over the place

Thanks for the heads up! I'm glad to finally see an OTA update is coming from Rogers.

Hboot isn't necessarily what's closing the exploit. Sbl is more likely.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Thank you for the clarification beaups. I wasn't trying to imply that the hboot itself will be responsible for all the added security and patches.
It would be the updated hboot that enforces Sig checks for kernal and radio flashing, right? Or is it a new hboot version because its a MAY be a newly wp partition?
(^^^^^all based on speculation that these security patches are indeed applied of course)

New One X owner, best root method currently?

Hi guys, I know there are a lot of posts surrounding this topic, I did search but found many outdated methods so I am curious about the most up to date method.
I am using a one X that is one HTC SDK 4.11 build number 1.85 and software 1.85
Being an iphone jailbrake guy Im not sure which one matters most. Also, Im not sure about changing the bootloader as opposed to just rooting. If I change the bootlaoder am i essentialy unocking the carrier of the phone also?
So what is the currently method to rooting the One X, thank you so much, this is a very helpful forum.
Duck

Either the manual method or the 1.85 One Click by Beups and designgears

I'd imagine the STICKIED thread in development would be your best bet. You know, the one that says it's for 1.85.

Ahh sorry, didnt get to that forum yet, thanks! Question though, is the exploit for bootloader still up and running or should I just stick with rooting for now?

Hi guys,
Ok, being new cant post in the devs forum yet so have to post this follow-up here. So I wasn't paying attention and accidentally updated before reading the news about 2.20 here. I know I cant root now however here is my question:
If I exchange One X for replacement tomorrow that is on 1.85 is it still going to work as long as i avoid any OTA updates OR will it require an update during the process like ive read. I think Ive read that it can be interrupted but am not sure.
Thank You

As long as the phone is on 1.85 you can still use the method to gain root and unlock the bootloader.

Like I understand that stock is generally more stable and has some exclusive features however we are on xda a site dedicated to rooting and custom roms, why come here to discuss stock
Sent from my VENOMized HoxL

I'm glad I'm not the only one trying to figure out why everyone is trying to do the ota..like they think att brought something special to the table

I really don't understand at all. Yea, it's a new base, which may bring some quality features to something we already have. But those features will have to wait until someone bases their custom ROM on it and takes full advantage of those features. Flashing the Stock ROM will do nothing beneficial to your phone..
I've already seen someone brick their phone due to wanting to flash the Stock OTA. My advice is just wait until it's been made into a custom ROM. Would be way smarter IMO... Who knows. I'll stick to my Hatka ROM until the new ones come out.

Personally I think it's a whole mental thing. They haven't really "waited" for the release but read all the talk about att being dumb and not pushing an update so when it did release they sorta have a mental expectation it will be good (stock).
-Sugardaddy Duncan

Yeah it seems as though the threads are already starting to flood Q & A with ppl who bricked their phones who took the OTA...bummer

it's been know for that supercid will brick the phone since first jb sense roms were released,
although s-off and supercid is safe, i don't understand see why everyone isn't s-off though.

It's been proven by many that supercid and jb ota does not cause a brick.
Maybe it is related to those that can't soff until they fastboot write cid 11111111. Something whack that is causing supercid to not applied correctly for those users is happening.
I would say one of the one click tools is likely responsible for not getting supercid correctly, as many get there fine.
Supercid and jb ota is fine for most, a small number brick just the same as a small number need the extra step for soff.

Well I thought when you were doing an ota it goes through a security check and it finds 1111111 as the cid it wacks out..but the people who don't have issues doing the ota are people with s off because that bypasses security right?

That's my suspicion. But its not completely clear (at least to me) whether those with CID and were able to OTA without bricking had S-off, or not.
S-off bypasses all security checks, by definition. At least, that is my understanding.

Again, I don't think its that clear or definitive. Even if SuperCID may be causing bricks (and there is strong evidence that it does), it should be considered by anyone taking the OTA, unless proven otherwise. And possibly even a PSA warning in the General forum. But I'd like more consensus for you guys on that, before I post such a warning.

[Q] Installing CM/Kitkat based roms

With an AT&T branded HTC One X on 4.1, should i root it now and flash basebands+kitkat roms, or should I flash 4.2.2 first?
also, are there prerequisites to update to 4.2 roms coming from 4.1?

If you take the update you won't be able to unlock the bootloader afterwards so you should do it now. There are prerequisites, check out the Evita FAQ thread in my signature.

You're not gonna get anywhere if you don't read and educate yourself. Plus, the rules of XDA state that a user must search thoroughly before asking for help, so I'm much less inclined to assist someone who is attempting to take the easy way out by just asking instead of searching. I even gave you a specific thread to check out, it doesn't get much easier than that.
Like I said though, if you ever want to unlock the bootloader and root your phone, you do not want to take that update.
