I have no choice, cuz ONLY Dual-Core S4 version supports AWS(1700) frequency, Screw Tegra3 version (Wind/T-Mobile users cheers!)

Qualcomm's LTE chip is awesome on LTE Speed&Signal Strength, that's other companies couldn't catch

never bother with nVFlash before, cannot comment on this :P

I am thinking the same thing, since I'm not gonna have it until I get my exam done, but we still need the DIAG File to do s-off...

This is a *sample* DIAG File for Wildfire S, found on xda

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21197907&postcount=10

however, this file is *device specific*, we need to look for/make this kinda file specific for one X

this file works without Smartcard/white card/xtc clip,

when you put this file on a goldcard, then get into the bootloader

then it gonna ask you "clean s53 data" or "show info"

if choose clean, READ the smartcard, change cid, unlock, factory reset(for security reasons), and S-OFF

Done

only this time, smartcard is needed, so if someone can get this file on hand, you could test it to see if works, (if doesnt work, it will show signature wrong on the first step)
[HTC One X] :
Are these files generic to all HTC devices? As long as you rename and hex edit? Because that i can do for you guys

EDIT: I see you say there specific, but, The wildfires used a file that was hex edited to our proper CID inside the diag file. I can give it a go if i have testers.
[HTC One X] GreenSamurai:
Will there be any consequences if the file is incorrect?
[HTC One X] :
No your s-on so the only thing that will happen is it will say (incorrect cid) or similar.. You will need a gold card.
[HTC One X] GreenSamurai:
So now I can't be a tester even if I volunteer because I don't have the gold card? I am not that knowledgeable with all this but I will help if I can
[HTC One X] JeckyllHavok:
Can we create a gold card of the internal emmc storage the way like a real sd card?
[HTC One X] starbase64:
Hi,

you need:

Goldcard Helper (Link)

goldcard.img (Link)

hex edit (Link)

with friendly greet

starbase64
[HTC One X] :
correct. You mount it as usb storage and do it exactly like a real SD card. I will need to know, when you open hboot, what zips does it look for?

Marvelc looks for PG76DIAG.zip for example
[HTC One X] :
Hum. This device is very hard to work on without access.. Back to the idea of unlocking the bootloader. I was wondering if you can try dd commands for me and pull your misc partition. the location is mmcblk0p17 if it can be pulled try writing it right back (same img you pulled)
[HTC One X] JeckyllHavok:
<if you give me the commands i can test, am on locked stock rom
[HTC One X] riemervdzee:
Bit unsure what you are requesting though, but I ran these commands when the ROM was active. Hope this is of any help.

[HTC One X] SB13X:
Been trying a few fastboot commands trying to get into apx mode using oem-34 but is it right that might device after trying one fastboot boot oem command it should vibrate twice and then become unresponsive as far as cmd is concerned? I'm having to reboot using the power button as all I get when trying another command is waiting for device?

Hi

I am a bit of a noob, I know. Is it possible to explain how one could confirm apx-mode if achieved?

I managed to boot the phone to a state with black screen and a device seen as HTC in windows device manager.

I will happen shutting down with vol- pressed and then hold both vol keys for a while until it vibrates, then I insert USB cable and release buttoms. After a long time 30 sec or so it quickly vibrates three times. So I thought to do the same with my powered OTG usb hub, but this time the three quick vibrates did not occur.

Hope I didn't just create a big spam, but that this might be usefull.

for subscribers, I am sry for several reedits.
[HTC One X] artymarty:
Just had something weird happen today my phone crashed, screen went black. I thought it was just dead battery as I only had 6% or less battery..

Plugged in to charge, had breakfast, noticed charge light not on when came back.

Did the hold down power button for a long time, then the led started doing a steady flash flash in red.

Left it charge a bit more.

Now the interesting part.

I held down the power button and BOTH volume buttons, for a while to do the force reboot.

HOWEVER I kept holding the three buttons for another 30 seconds... (or so)

The red light started blinking at the same rate as before however the on time was VERY short... Unfortunately I did not have a computer handy to plug it in and see if it showed up as a different device. (apx device etc) There was nothing on the screen at the time.

Haven't been able to replicate though...

Any ideas?

Sent from the future using tipi-tapa-talk 37
[HTC One X] DarkMio:
Fast red blinking indicates on the most HTC devices, that the battery isn't working properly. Mostly its a dead or not charging battery.
[HTC One X] xmoo:
Looks like your phone mounted SD-Card. Nothing special.
[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
Got a lot of the hboot disassembled/decompiled last night. Spent 4 hours on it. Will try to find how apx is called in a bit. About 30% left to work on. Some interesting stuff in it.
[HTC One X] KrisPerry:
Good work
[HTC One X] sibbor:
Good job Evil-Dragon! Really looking forward to see what comes out of it. Tell me if you need help testing anything.
[HTC One X] Chezbel:
Cool. After we finally have S-OFF, can you share your final code and any useful notes? Maybe some of us will learn something. Just a thought.
[HTC One X] Adrianiii:
Is it safe to update to 1.29.401.11, im waiting for HOX S-OFF.
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
keep up the GOOD WORK ;)
[HTC One X] mattman83:
The biggest issues are that we don't know if exploits will work on all hboots. Its easy to upgrade hboot to something exploitable but much harder to downgrade again.

Because we haven't got an exploit yet, its impossible to know if upgrading hboot will cause you problems.

M.
[HTC One X] Arthas92:
if we can s-off by HBOOT, can we change the CID?

if yes, i think just change it to super CID
[HTC One X] theliquid:
With S-OFF you easily can change your CID. But the problem is getting S-OFF ... ;)
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
If there is a reason to hate /not like htc then it is their locked bootloader and their htc dev unlock which won't unlock full soff.

Hope someone can crack that stupid son. Want to flash roms without my computer (boot.img)
[HTC One X] Sentinel196:
HTC have just posted asking for opinions on the HTC One on their facebook page...

https://www.facebook.com/HTC

Good opinion to voice your opinions regarding security :)
[HTC One X] nicholaschum:
Okay, don't blame me for this if it's not real, but some Chinese guy claimed to find a way to S-Off using a program they built (sounds sketchy). He also says he did it on the O2 version of the HTC One X.

http://htc.zol.com.cn/109/33080_1083270.html

The program operates in which it will unlock your phone without going through HTCdev, and then somehow you do something with batch files he provide, as well as something to do with the boot.img file, and it will provide S-Off after a reboot.

Looks very sketchy though.
[HTC One X] pdagenius:
It makes me wonder if when HTC are changing the hboot there are just closing other loopholes from the earlier versions. Therefore it may not be a good move to update with the RUUs and change your hboot.

Edit - another thought. Other than closing loopholes, what other reasons may HTC change hboot? Sorry - more of a noob query this one ;)
[HTC One X] Sentinel196:
Anyone willing to give this a try? It sounds plausible to me from what google translate gives........
[HTC One X] miniudavid:
Wasn't that method discussed earlier in this thread..
[HTC One X] Sentinel196:
It looks liket he same unlocking tool we looked at earlier. But the part about the replacement boot image looks interesting. Maybe they've cracked it?
[HTC One X] estanenmi:
Post the file here i will testit can't download...
[HTC One X] Sentinel196:
Bummer. I can't get the files to download either :( ANyone here able to read the page without a translator?
[HTC One X] maxld:
According to people responses it looks like it might work... still I can't download it.
[HTC One X] Chezbel:
I tried to download the file at the link that says HTC Unlocker.rar, but the dialog that pops up (in Chinese) indicates that only logged in users can download.
[HTC One X] Sentinel196:
Looks like you need to be signed up and have 'points' to download judging by the translated comments. But everyone who has downloaded claims it works!!!

Anyone able to download and mirror? I can't sign up cos I can't read chinese :(
[HTC One X] nicholaschum:
I'm trying to download right now as I have an account. But it comes up with a popup still even when I'm logged in. But the popup only shows characters that even I can't read (symbols and jumbled corrupt chinese characters)

[HTC One X] maxld:
Maybe you could ask them to provide an european mirror.
[HTC One X] mikep1993:

Once someone has a mirror and instructions I will test I have a one x not being used at all and only there for testing so won't matter if anything goes wrong

You have to have enough points to download it. Even not everyone on this chinese forum can download it.
[HTC One X] keroro430:
All unlock tuts from China are using htcdev.com to unlock the devices and many of them are just copied and pasted. They just teach us how to "unlock" the phone, not make a S-OFF on the phone...
[HTC One X] mikep1993:
Yeah we read that this uses htc dev too, but the interesting part ist after the htc-dev stuff. There's something about a seperate boot.img and yeah, we hope that the instructions after htc dev will give us s-off. And if we have s-off we can restore the state of the oneX to the normal state without s-off (with s-off i assume the cid can be changed, and so on...)
[HTC One X] nicholaschum:
Sorry, I found another tool:

http://www.fengbao.com/baike/doc-view-617.html

I'll translate the first photo of the tool:

Unlocking instructions, you have to first understand:

1. When you begin to unlock your bootloader, all your data will be wiped.

2. This tool only supports HTC Android (international) settings, and does not support some of the other carrier-based settings (O2, Verizon, AT&T, etc)

3. This tool will use HTCdev unlocking method, your warranty may be affected by using this tool.

4. This tool requires Fastboot drivers installed, if you don't have it, please download it by clicking "Download drivers"

5. If required "S-OFF, ROOT, ROM Change" wait for the popup to come up and click "More Info"

BUTTON 1: Unlock

BUTTON 2: RELOCK

BUTTON 3: DOWNLOAD DRIVERS

BUTTON 4: MORE INFO

**Below window/Bar** Inside Fastboot mode

It even uses the boot.img changing method.
[HTC One X] mattman83:
This is different. It makes specific claims about getting s-off. Its confusing because many of the guides look identical and even include how to flash a boot.img via adb - but none of them claim that the bootloader reports s-off

[HTC One X] maxld:
Are you able to download attachments?
[HTC One X] nicholaschum:
Yes I can, after signing up. I'll reupload here for you guys to try.
[HTC One X] mattman83:

the final screenshot still tells S-ON but unlocked. Would be interesting if this screenshot is wrong or the method only gives you the unlock itself...
[HTC One X] Matt F:
I have both of the files. All I had to do was use Thunder, the Chinese mandatory downloading software. Now... How the hell do I upload this to xda? Or do I need to go make an account on some hosting site? I've no idea what sites aren't blocked in China. BTW, Chinese girlfriends are very helpful. :p

pre-post edit: figured it out, have fun. I put both of them into one rar. the 'htc unlocker.exe' is the first download link, everything else is from the second link.

Sincerely,

The HTCDev Team

I suppose this is a ploy to record my details so that if I did send my phone for warranty repair at a later date they would be going through it with a fine toothed comb for any signs of s-off.

Is it even worth a response
[HTC One X] nikorette:
Ok so been playing around with that Chinese unlock/soff tool. It musnt connect to htc dev. I disabled my ethernet card before i ran the program and it still gave me the option to unlock, just waiting for confirmation on this before i run the unlock. The unlock tool was the one posted in the attachments.rar by Matt F

If this is the case im happy HTC doesnt know about my unlock because if s-off did ever come id be able to revert back to stock "locked" and not be voiding my warranty.
[HTC One X] Appsdroid:
Id drop them a response mate the worst they can is no which leaves us where we are now. Im actually having a very similar conversation with someone from tech. His last reponse stated he cant advise me how to invalidate my warranty. Heres my last response to them.

Hi Paul

You say this but you provide a method on your website of invalidating my warranty which i have already followed. So what your saying is your happy for me to invalidate my warranty by unlocking the bootloader on the device but your not happy with me invalidating my warranty by any other method. The thing is now my phone is out of warranty as per your site and the phone is now owned by myself and not htc i dont understand how legally your able to tell me im only allowed to run the software you want me to run this is like buying a laptop or pc from Asus and them saying you cant use windows or linux on here only the software Asus think I should use. I dont agree with some of HTC Terms and Conditions so want to get this removed off the phone so that i wont be contravening the terms you set out.

I need to know how i should proceed in this matter.
[HTC One X] xmoo:
Lol the person I qam in contact with is named Paul aswel.
[HTC One X] ytwytw:
since i have been following this post from #1 to #17xx

the only one has proved work is:

white card + diag (loaded via OTG?)

other possible mode discussed here...:

misc mod (from simonsimon53?! cannot remember the name correctly)

adb shell reboot oem-?? (from 00 to ff) to get into APX mode

hardware mod to enter APX mode (looks like proven not working)

any other ideas?!

these chinese tools only does htcdev unlock, and you are taking risk as your phone info IMEI & S/N & other stuff have been sent to wherever we dont know

and the boot.img is NOT for S-OFF, just for insecure boot only... nothing fun else on the zol or other sites...

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

I guess if you do

fastboot oem lock

it will show

*****RELOCKED*****

is it?

or just *****LOCKED***** ?!
[HTC One X] abc27:
HTC can give a generic response to a single user, but can they do the same to 1000s of users?

I think not. It's time to tell them what we think as a group.

Give your support here.

For those concerned about how this will work, once we reach a sufficient number of signatories I will send a secure copy of the signatory list (With the serial numbers de-obfuscated for authentication) to HTC.

Add the link to your signatures and spread it far and wide. The more of us there are, the louder we are.

Edit: This isn't only for the One X. It's for

all

owners of HTC devices running Android.
[HTC One X] nikorette:
No what im saying is. I can unlock without HTC having recorded my IMEI or S/N. So now i can unlock and root/flash. Then when S-OFF comes we can change the top to ******LOCKED****** and HTC can't refuse to repair my phone. Where if i do go through the original HTCDev page they record my device token (which obviously includes IMEI/S-N) and can refuse warranty even though my device stated ******LOCKED******
[HTC One X] spiderio:
wow @nikorette

how to get the ***LOCKED**** status back??
[HTC One X] nikorette:
Lol when s-off is available you can change that locked unlocked status to any word combo of words you like. But we will need soff
[HTC One X] steve36:
so does that prog get us unlocked without htcdev??????????
[HTC One X] nikorette:
Well I wasn't connected to the internet when I ran the program so I'm guessing no, it doesn't provide HTC any details of your phone. But I'd suggest to wait for confirmation from another member
[HTC One X] ytwytw:
For that app I can confirm its unlocked via htcdev

Early posts in this thread has proven it already

And this app just automatically does htcdev unlock for you...

HTC still know you have made unlock request

It could be the cache in your computer so that it looks like it doesn't require Internet... but the token is in your computer already before you even notice
[HTC One X] Appsdroid:
Not sure its worth me adding mine mate im network branded with Vodafone so not sure theyll unlock mine anyway with this info. If we could sign up without serial that would be good as i dont want htc having my serial if there not going to unlock my device only un-branded ones.

Im imagining if you give the option of rom type people with branded phones can add there support without potentially voiding the warranty is HTC agree to proceed. Just add something like branding so people can set unbranded or vodafone etc people without unbranded could log info without serial.
[HTC One X] steve36:
thought you could unlock the bootloader no matter which carrier your with?
[HTC One X] taha198:
+1

Good Idea
[HTC One X] KrisPerry:
He hasn't , he is speculating for future
[HTC One X] abc27:
HTC have your serial as a HTC One X owner who wants but does not necessarily have S-OFF.

That isn't the point of the petition. If we ask HTC to re-negotiate with their carriers they won't listen to us. If we be reasonable and tell them we only want it for SIM free and carriers who don't actively oppose S-OFF, they cannot object.
[HTC One X] Appsdroid:
Hi Mate

I wasnt thinking of changing what your requesting from HTC. I understand why you worded the statement like that and wouldnt want them to approach any of the carriers. Just thinking some people might not add there details as their not using de-branded handsets. Was just thinking the more people on the list the more likely well have a positive reply from them.
[HTC One X] Chezbel:
I've asked someone I know at HTC if there is any info they can provide about S-OFF or APX mode for the One X. I fully expect either no reply or a "sorry I can't tell you", but the odds are still better than buying a lottery ticket.
[HTC One X] miniudavid:
So what does that tell? Unlock without HTC dev possible..?
[HTC One X] KrisPerry:
What if the computer never went online again. How would they possibly know
[HTC One X] :

try it out buddy ? :D i see you have 1.26 ^^

i noticed that it states 401 -> 1.26.401.2 some one with that firmware wanna check it out ?
[HTC One X] theliquid:
No didn't update my signature :( I am on 1.28 :/
[HTC One X] mikep1993:
hmmm yeah that's a problem. but as far as we know this tool only makes it possible to do the whole htc-dev unlock without any further steps for you. (The tutorial says that it'll use htc dev as far as i know, or as far google translator was right).

The interesting thing would be if the boot.img stuff will give us S-OFF someone here with HTC Dev unlock already? Perhaps someone can try the steps after the htc dev unlock.

Indeed does someone know if the htc-dev unlock will store your cid or imei or any id on htc's servers? if no it should be no problem because it would be possible to flash and edit everything, even the cid. (Please correct me if i'm wrong)

we only need S-OFF
