Could anyone tell me where I could download the "Fastboot" drivers from? I'm on Win 7 32bit and have tried the drivers from the first page, but my device still won't get recognized, it just comes up as "Fastboot" within Device Manager, and says "Checking SD card update... on my phone.

Also, I got my phone into a mode where it only showed a black screen with a picture of the phone and a Red exclamation mark next to it, was similar to the mode it goes into when trying to do an update, but instead of having the green arrows it had the exclamation mark.
[HTC One X] miniterror:
How did you get in that mode with the exclamation mark?

Maybe its usefull for others to tell;)

Also when it says checking sd card pull out usb cable, then it should contineu to get in fastboot mode;)
[HTC One X] Polarfuchs:
That simply comes up if you wait some time in the recovery mode.

@drivers

Why downloading separate drivers, if win7 downloads them automatically. It shows up as "HTC Bootloader" in the device manager, if you are in hboot/fastboot.
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
What ever the hell mode that was, when I rebooted my entire phone was wiped, no data whatsoever. Had to go through the initial installation (and no i didn't select the factory reset option in Hboot) thank goodness my dropbox was syncing my photos automatically.

There's not much point in contacting HTC about this anymore. They won't tell anyone. We have to find it out ourselves.
[HTC One X] Appsdroid:
Not quite accurate mate i had a major arguement with HTC today relating to the fact the htc one x is not fit for purpose. After giving them some legal crap about how android is shipped with s-off and by removing the ability to get s-off on these devices is making them not fit for purpose as I require this access to utilise the full android system.

I have been informed that HTCDev is currently working on a solution to provide s-off to the htc one x devices. I still have the script between me and HTC is anyone wants to review. Ive tweeted HTCDev to confirm this is actually being worked on and not just Cust Supp fobbing me off.
[HTC One X] Sentinel196:
Hopefully that doesn't translate into:

"I have been informed that HTCDev is currently working on a way to track and provide S-OFF so they can void your warranty if you do it".
[HTC One X] Appsdroid:
The way things are looking at the moment mate this may be the only way we get s-off on the device. As long as i have complete control over the phone id prefer to void my warranty for s-off than void it for root access.
[HTC One X] DarkMio:
I don't see here any problem. With some reverse engeneering we could copy their methods. One have to void his warranty complete. But maybe they give us access to the apxmode. :]
[HTC One X] Appsdroid:
We should have a number of users without warranty at the moment by using the HTCDev root access hack
[HTC One X] theliquid:
Of course this will void your warranty completely. Why shouldn't they do it?
[HTC One X] mikep1993:
If this is true it would be awesome. I want s-off even if the only solution is htc-dev. And yeah i know i will loose my warranty, but better than staying on the default rom forever...
[HTC One X] ViDtje:
The question is: how long will it take HTCDev to bring us S-off.
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
i dont think HTC will give us soff... :(
[HTC One X] mikep1993:
right. i thought to ask this in my previous post too, but i forgot about it^^.

Someone has an idea?
[HTC One X] matt95:
i remember that the sensation was s-offed even before the htcdev's methos was out...why this could not be possible with the one x? i know that this is difficult but really, there isn't any way to do this? :(
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
the 2 TEAMS(that gave us SOFF) only works with Qualcomm

we have Nvidia Tegra,

so SOFF for us.... will be very difficult
[HTC One X] berek9999:
Apologies if I'm misunderstanding you, but you are aware that you don't need s-off to change Roms?
[HTC One X] Appsdroid:
Yeah mate i know i dont need to gain s-off to change roms but i dont like the idea of losing my warranty just for root access as you can still brick your devices like this with s-off its almost impossible to brick your device ill be happy to void my warranty for that.
[HTC One X] mikep1993:
yes i am. but i don't like half stuff ^^

I'll have a look later on too if my CID is in the same partition as the AT&T one, let us know if you find anything in the meantime. All I care about is being able to change my CID to superCID so I can flash stock HTC ruu over my Optus branded 1X so I can receive OTA directly from HTC rather than wait for Optus.
[HTC One X] mattman83:
It's not in the same place, I can say that much. I'm progressively working through the blocks from mmcblk0p1, currently up to 15.

Entirely likely that it's somewhere masked by S-OFF, but no harm in checking.

No go with the ATT SCID method (at least as far as I can tell). Checked blocks 1-20 (exluding system/data/sdcard) and the only time I found a reference to my CID was on devlog - which I'm pretty certain is just a dump of the boot info, not the original info store.

Prob masked, but someone else try and prove me wrong, please :B

[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
Tried with ADB Diagnostic permissions (Page 202) and still masked partitions. This masking is annoying, i don't remember this on the HTC Sensation.
[HTC One X] 7pellc:
If I had access to a supercid one x, is their anything I could do to help?

I don't think it would help, i can't remember if someone on a S-OFF HTC One X could dd the unmasked partitions, i'm sure it was tried and it was still masked.

[HTC One X] Appsdroid:
Hi Guys

Not to sure if anyone has any contacts within htcdev but if anyone does can you ask them if they are working on providing s-off access to the htc one x i have been informed by HTC that they are currently working on this but couldnt give me a specific date. Im trying to get htcdev to confirm but i havent had any joy getting a response from them.

[HTC One X] coolbho3000:
Oops, wrong One X forum, sorry :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] Appsdroid:
I was thinking that but by them providing it rather than us hacking there software they still have the ability to void your warranty. Id be happy to allow them to do that with full access but im not for just having root access. Im chasing them up if htcdev dont confirm then im back to htc.

Ive been emailing and tweeting them so hopefully theyll respond to one of them soon.
[HTC One X] Rekoil:
Don't get too excited guys. HTC will certainly not be giving us S-OFF. I would be glad to have to eat my words but I'm not holding my breath.
[HTC One X] johncore:
There is absolutely ZERO chance of HTC giving us full S-OFF. It has nothing to do with warranty, and everything to do with SIM unlocks & radio modification. Carriers don't want it, HTC won't provide it (see AT&T not allowing HTCDev unlocks). It will never happen.
[HTC One X] Appsdroid:
According to vodafone they have no problems with HTC providing this access. Their attitude is you had this phone as part of a contract unlocking the phone wont break your contract your still required to pay the full value of the contract regardless if the phone is unlocked to any network. Think about it if you want to pay for a contract your not using thats up to you. As long as vodafone get the money off you they dont care.

Provided it is powered. I suppose the main issue is the fact that we don't know what to put on the gold card
[HTC One X] artymarty:
I know the chance of asking or paying off someone at HTC for the details we need for s-off are VERY slim, however has any one tried some of the independent companies that are authorised repair centers?

I will be speaking to one next week, unfortunately it's going to be over the phone as they are interstate (so it's hard to build up trust if they can't see me as I might be from HTC and testing them) but if I can have a private word with a technician, not the receptionist....

As an example:

20 years or so ago when modems were slow (56k max) there was high speed ISDN for big businesses. ISDN was around $3500 a month in line rental. If you wanted to set up a ISDN network (which we used for playing Doom or was it Quake - can't remember) it world cost you the cheap price of "a slab of beer" - which is Australian slang for a pack of 24 cans of beer.. If you spoke to the right technician... :D

Probably not? The root method for that would have been similar to the AT&T one x as they both have the s4 and I'm presuming similar exploits.
[HTC One X] kruppin:
But getting root without unlocking through htcdev would still be a big step in the right direction. It's wierd that the S4-devices are so easy to root, when they infact with s-on should be as hard to root as this one. They probably forgot to make /system read only but still, it's wierd. (I mean, they could even flash recovery with dd? I guess that won't work here. Anybody tried?) Or maybe HTC hoped what's happend would happen, so they don't need to take the devices on warranty.
