[HTC One X] KamikaZeeFu:
If you rename the ota to 'update.zip' and use the 'install update.zip' in cwm it will flash.

At least it worked for me when I tried.

Otas will check your system though, and will flash if everything is fine (signature match, Cid match, and system partition untampered)
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
you're talking gibberish right now

the rom.zip/ota.zip is NOT signed

but the firmware.zip inside IS signed and thats NOT installed through CWM

.........

that has nothing to do with firmware.zip flashing which is where the hboot.img is,

a quick mod to the rom.zip updater-script will allow for OTA to flash but the firmware.zip which is inside the rom.zip will not flash...

and i guess this is what Rusty is also talking about.

And no even with signature off you still cant install firmware.zip which is the one i care about,

that why there are tut how to flash OTA by replacing the recovery with stock

as for rom.zip in worst case can be extracted manually..

and stop arguing.... IT WONT FLASH...
[HTC One X] godutch:
I am pretty sure I saw fastboot or the bootloader anyway first go through some cycle, maybe it even said updating :s anyway I am pretty sure someone like xmoo knows exactly how an OTA works and what all the PJ***IMG.zip files do and when they do it.
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
that's HBOOT and its not used in OTA, is it??

if it is then case closed if its not... well back to the main post
[HTC One X] godutch:
If you look in the bootloader you can toggle between hboot and fastboot.

we really should ask xmoo; you hope the bootloader just does some signature check, opens the nand and then get into recovery and somehow switch the update?
[HTC One X] Rusty!:
Got ya, i misunderstood and was (obviously) talking about update.zip

What does the updater-script say about firmware.zip?
[HTC One X] Feregorn:
On the LG Optimus 4X forums they came with a rooting solution using some of the tools available for our HOX. You can find all about it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29868577 Is this information helpful at all? And how is it possible that a device with much less "love" from XDA developpers. but sharing the same hardware, gets root before the more popular HTC ONE X?
[HTC One X] Rusty!:
Fraid not, it's been mentioned.

It's for the S4 One X anyway.

Besides, we have root, it's just not warranty friendly, and the 4X still has a locked bootloader so they're pretty stuck still.
[HTC One X] nicu96:
i looked at the source code of the apk mentioned there, this uses a method for root which was discussed here many times (ro.kernel.qemu=1 in local.prop) and the one x binaries are like rusty said are for the s4 one x... this only gives temp root AFAIK for our one x, the changes are gone after a reboot
[HTC One X] ste1164:
Not sure how helpful this is. But could we use the temp S-OFF method. Change to superCID and use the script in the AT&T One X forum to fool HTCDev so we would have some method of getting root/unlocked bootloader without defiantly voiding our warranty.
[HTC One X] Rusty!:
No way to change our CID yet, One XL is different.

Plus it doesn't change anything with HTC, HBOOT will still show ***UNLOCKED*** or ***RELOCKED***
[HTC One X] ste1164:
Yea I figured that would still suck with the bootloader bit & ah didnt know there wasnt a way to change CID on ours yet.

I think we can discuss that after you manage to s-off your hox
[HTC One X] mattman83:
If you manage to S-OFF your HOX there's no need to flash the ENG HBOOT at all. But it sounds like the phone can't boot normally with that hboot.

He says it still goes to the htc screen so no brick i think;)

If thst works he can probably also go in fastboot and flash a ruu or something

[HTC One X] Thunder07:
no need he'll just flash a newer hboot

ok i suppose i didnt make it obviously obvious,

and thats the only line about it

which is useless in CWM, though it reports a successful flash.

[HTC One X] Willieumm:
I don't think we should be looking to xmoo for assistance anymore, he's got his s-off and how much do you see him posting here now? Very rarely. He's the OP but is no longer involved in this as he's acquired it through means that he doesn't care to share. Questions and/or assistance should be directed at people that are still actively seeking ways to achieve s-off and might actually have knowledge in such areas, such as thunder07.
[HTC One X] mattman83:
Wow, how rude. I don't think anyone got into this project just to get themselves s-off, it was in the spirit of xda to get it working for the masses.

Just because you don't see someone posting, doesn't mean they aren't working on it.

[HTC One X] Mischaseb:
Are you friends with xmoo? do you have webcams secretly set up in his house? If you answer no to both of those questions, how do you know what he's doing? Maybe he just doesn't bother posting in this thread because of people like you

Edit: brilliant, got sucked into doing an OT post... apologies to everyone else.
[HTC One X] Rusty!:
Not too surprising that it's found the CID in a few places, mmcblk0 is like the sum of all mmcblk0p* (the p1 = partition 1, basically). Playing with this 'file' would be properly risky, but I guess you know that already. Strange that it's 4GB and not 32GB though.

With that in mind, I'd be amazed if the security let you write to it.
[HTC One X] SpoocyMan:
I believe in our dear developers, an all others who try to get s-off, I'm a Hough fan of all the good work they're doing!

Just keeping waiting until the big day!

So go on with your biggest faith and remember that a bunch of people are believers like me even if they don't post it here! :)

Ps. Feels like it was needed to turn around the bad motions :)

Sorry for bad spellings, dyslexic Norwegian
[HTC One X] glukosio:
[OT]and do you think that he need to be almost only s-offed device in the world? it's because of people like you that xda is going down of reputation! find another community and go to troll there please![\OT]

turning back to mmcblk0: maybe we can copy only a needed part of 32gb (or 4 in that case, don't want get wrong, but maybe it stopped process of copying of mmcblk0 because of FAT partition that allow max 4gb files...), edit and stick it again to original... or edit directly from adb shell, maybe it can work
[HTC One X] mattman83:
Copying the NAND is easy, you can even set start and stop bits if you don't want the whole thing. The problem is writing back, because it still won't write to protected areas.

Not in the UK! If the engIneer detects hboot status of unlocked or relocked then HTC automatically Send you a quote for £175 for a new mainboard "to return the device to a warrantable state" before they will repair any other fault.

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------

The problem is how to write the edited partial dump back to mmcblk0 without truncating / erasIng everything after the first 4gb. This really was discussed in detail 2 months back
[HTC One X] boe323:
Im still looking for the diag files, someone will actually leak them sooner or later, though later i expect, i think this is the way.
[HTC One X] TheBrilliantMistake:
HTC's warranty is NOT void by unlocking the bootloader, nor do HTC ever claim it is in their small print. What they DO say is that damage caused by malfunctioning custom ROMs MAY void that aspect of your warranty.

Obviously, overclocking, heating issues could be argued by HTC to be the direct result of user ROMS. A broken power button at the other extreme of things cannot be blamed on a custom ROM.

I must reiterate TWO important details:

1) Any issue you have with a malfunctioning device lies with the retailer and NOT HTC. It is (by law) the retailers responsibility to deal with your claim, not HTC.For the first 6 months the onus is on the retailer to prove any fault was caused by you. After 6 months, responsibility lies with the manufacturer (HTC).

In actual fact, some issues must sill be fixed by the manufacturer up to 6 years after purchase, but these circumstances are rare, and only when the device's 'reasonable lifetime expectancy' is beyond 6 years, and there's a PROVEN manufacturing flaw and it's only just manifested itself on your device (so no going back with broken XDAs after 5 years!)

2) HTC's 'warning' when you use their unlucking service at HTC Dev does NOT claim your warranty is void. I cannot stress this enough. It merely reminds you that certain aspects of warranty are at risk.
[HTC One X] Rusty!:
It's still a massive get out for them. I guarantee just having an unlocked bootloader without ever having altered the software would cause them to reject warranty claims.

HBOOT versions

Past: 0.03, 0.04, 0.32, 0.43, 0.94, 0.95, 0.96, 1.01

Current: 1.11

Xmoo says that the current hboot is 1.11, im still on 0.95 and i have an unbranded one x, who is on 1.11?
[HTC One X] MarylandCookie:
And im on 0.43 also on a unbranded white HOX. So whats your point?? :confused:
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
only people with access to the leaked RUU will be on 1.11 or...

if you have s-off you can flash it.

otherwise no phone shipped with it yet nor was there an OTA containing it
[HTC One X] glukosio:
so the last "users" hboot is 0.96? btw i'm still on 0.95 too

@boe323 how we can have the diag file?

I sent mine back with a relocked bootloader and they sent it back to me fully fixed within three days.
[HTC One X] uqadwe:
I for one have some well known building faults, already on the second Hoc, next week I'll exchanged it again. In all my discussion with the HTC support team they told me that no mather of the problems nature is I unlocked my bootloader my warranty is voided.

Nevertheless I know two cases of unlocked Hox's but with free/warranty repairs. And I for one got a Desire S replaced, even if the booloader was unlocked.

Also I am 90% sure that in the One X situation they will use every excuse available
[HTC One X] in_deed:

you cannot mount ext4 under windows.

all other partitions are arm9/11 binaries

[HTC One X] dezborders:
Obviously I agree with you totally, and I argued my case as you say... but it wasn't easy to convince someone senior enough at HTC who had the authority to tell the service center and call centre robots to repair my HOX under warranty when all their scripts and procedures tell them to inform the customer that the warranty is void as soon as they unlock bootloader on htcdev.com.

I imagine 9 out of 10 customers in my situation would give in after being told by 3 levels of management that there's nothing i can say or do to change HTCs position on the matter.

Its all very well quoting consumer law to xda members but it's something else totally getting a global company like HTC to take you seriously. I managed... but many won't

On the GTAB, when we run nvflash we are actually loading the bootloader using it as a shell, Various boot.img lead to different feature...

both adb and nvflash seem very similar but nvflash use a file to get the address where it should write the various raw.img seem like the tools in the ruu does the same but read the info from a somehow binary files.

When reading the partition layout on the gtab we found that there was different version of nv flash, some where outputting binary files instead of the text,

I noticed that ADB inside the RUU is MUCH bigger, do you know what is the difference between this one and the one in the sdk ?

he's only showing us how to flash an official rom.zip through RUU-mode(htc screen)

... if you want to reproduce it...

get your RUU.exe and run it and keep it running, when if fully starts go to the next step.. keeping this open

open %temp% folder

inside there should be one or 2 folders named {blahblah} open it

inside it or inside a folder inside it is a rom.zip, copy it to a different location,

after it finishes copying to a different location close the ruu.exe..

run adb reboot oem-78

fastboot flash zip rom.zip

and vola.... NOTE that to do this you'll need a locked bootloader for it to work...

however the interesting thing is the old versions he provide HTC_ONEXT_Endeavor_TD_1.08.1403.1

RUU_Endeavor_U_HTC_Europe_0.96.401.2_Radio_0.120201.21.10

i cant download it as it requires registeration..... an im not gonna bother registering

guys i know you want to help but where in hell does is say apx s-off nvflash on that page, nothing leads me to believe this will get us any closer to an s-off

but the gnote bootloader thing is a good point i have to say.... hide it in plain sight... why not!!

and as for the bigger ADB its simple... look at the screen shot it says "INFO[RUU]"....

which is a very load adb as new ones say "(bootloader) [RUU]"

and the title says it all "pseudo-official brush tutorial"

though it makes little since but it says "something flashing official tutorial"... my gets flashing offiical leaked/rom tut...
