Honestly guys you need to go at this from one of two angles.

1. Find a way to edit the CID

2. Get real radio s-off without touching anything except the radio flag

Both of these are likely going to be extremely difficult without Htc dev unlock.

You guys can't modify any critical partitions aside from flipping the secure flag or you will have a brick. Hboot really won't be of much help. If you made a patched hboot that ignored the flag and you found a way to force flash it via emmc restart it would brick. Changing the CID could brick it too depending how stringent the sig checks are.

In my opinion you guys are lucky to have perma root.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Root-Maniac:
Very encouraging!! LOL
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] con247:
I am not trying to be discouraging. I am just trying to point out things that might be missed if you are trying to be too optimistic. I don't have the phone, so I don't have that problem.

It took about 7 months for the Rezound to get S-OFF. This required the htc dev unlock AND was only because of an exploit found in the Sensation. The Sensation exploit was found to be compatible with most if not all HTC 8x60 based phones. It required shorting pins on the motherboard to work. This only happened because of the Sensation people and the luck that it was a chipset exploit. Unfortunately, most of the population has the Tegra 3 ONE X, so it is likely that any S-OFF progress they make will be useless to you guys since you have an entirely different chipset. I would recommend teaming up with the ONE S guys if they are trying for S-OFF because cross compatibility is MUCH more likely having the same CPU/Chipset. I am not trying to be a downer, but HTC has really beefed up their security and the # of people with this phone is much smaller than the Tegra counterpart. I didn't think the Rezound would get S-OFF, but it did end up happening. So I hope I can be wrong again here.

Waiting for AT&T to allow for htcdev unlock could possibly be the fastest and easiest option. I also still think that changing your CID is going to be the most possible thing to do.

How much experience do you have writing bootloader exploits?

If none - then sorry - you'll have to read the whole thing yourself. (I briefly scanned your posts - I don't think you are here to add value seeing as you didn't even know how to use the RUU)?

However, if you are someone of SK's or Adam's caliber, I'm sure someone will help you out.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DeathmonkeyGTX:
You wouldn't have to read the entire damned thread. You could have read 5 pages and figured it out. It seems to have taken the Vivid and Rezound up to 8 weeks from release to get HTC Dev bootloader unlock and it seems exceedingly likely that HTC will offer it long before an exploit is found.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
Why do you say that? kennethpenn said it breaks that exploit...and he's the one that posted the exploit and the new ruu. Have you tried it?

Partitions Redux

OK, correctly dumped partitions from the locked/non-s-off retail HOX that was s-offed available to devs (resent to all who PM'd me yesterday + Adam). Not sure what good they will do, but better than nothing.

BTW, reading the posts about not being able to unlock/s-off before we get official unlock - meh, you're probably right, but what the hell...at least I'm learning a lot about silly security measures taken for seemingly little to no reason...;).

I hope that AT&T relents soonish, as I am getting tired of this, but I am a stubborn, stubborn (some may say stupid) man...

Interestingly, the phone that was s-off'd still says it's bootloader locked. Is this common with those who got random s-offed hox's?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
and.. "‏@PaulOBrien Had a little mosey around the leaked 1.85 update for the AT&T One X… don't flash it if you want root any time soon!"

So i'm afraid K4get you are spreading some wrong information. I only wish i would have found that tweet from paul before i listened to you lol. My bad, i should have known better. :mad: but his next tweet gives me a little hope for root...

@PaulOBrien Ooh, potential exploit for new AT&T One X update spotted. Watch this space. ;) We need to keep it hidden this time!

Well, this really implies its an exploit for root. Which is still really awesome.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] grankin01:
This is kinda off topic and kinda not lol but you can downgrade VERY easily. At least from the 1.82 to the 1.73 RUUs. I confirmed this just a few minutes ago as I needed to get the older firmware on so that I could compare the dumped partitions and possibly experiment with some changes on the device. This would have proved a little hard trying to make it happen with two different radio versions blah blah blah. If anyone is interested in the process or if sk806 wants it posted here just let me know. I don't want to bog the thread down anymore than it has been. I can make a walkthru if anyone is interested as well but it may be a minute as I'm a little preoccupied with the bootloader issue. ;)

Locked just means the phone hasn't been Htc dev unlocked. So basically if you try to do something like write to the emmc it will just work no problem. However, if he tried to fastboot flash something, it wouldn't allow him to until he Htc dev unlocks or you create a modded hboot. When the rezound got s off all of our unlocked s-on got changed to locked s -off for warranty purposes. :).

If you want to test the CID change, see if the s off guy would be willing to to do "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"

If he does that and attempts Htc dev unlock that would allow you too see if hacking your CID would be worth your time. If it complains still, you guys need to figure something else out.

That process assumes it is an AT&T hox but is just s off.

is that 1.82 or 1.85. Could you please check the software version on your phone?

If it worked for you with 1.85 then you sir are very lucky :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] niceppl:
Hey con247, I have previously performed a test with cid changing..

first I have to say my htc one xl is not att HOX, mine is rogers HOX

since, my device is s-off, I have tried this.

1. When my cid was Rogers001 I'm able to get a unlock from htcdev with the token I got with Rogers001...since it's rogers it's unlockable as expected...

2. Then I changed my CID to 11111111 and flashed 1.82 leaked ruu, still s-off afterward. Didn't try unlock from htcdev...so I don't know if it's possible to unlock with cid 11111111

3. THen I did a test, to change the CID to Cws__001, which is the att cid, then I registered another htcdev account, got the token and pasted it, and got denied by htcdev. This made me think htc is checking the cid to see the device is unlockable or not.

However, I don't know if there are additional hardware difference between rogers hox and att hox...(If I would take a guess, I would say no....)

Hope that helps you guys.

Could this be the good news we r waiting for?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] con247:
So you just confirmed that the cid change is what you need. However, you first need to find it because it is NOT in the misc image. It is in there, but it isn't read from there. I experimented with that with the rezound. Maybe someone with s off could dump their partitions and then change the cid and dump again. Maybe that would allow you to find where it is stored. You can skip dumping system, data, cache, and stuff to save time.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NJGSII:
Pretty sure that is the new root exploit for the latest RUU leak, 1.85.

Hey all. I have one of the S-Off One Xs. After changing my CID to 111111 I am no longer blocked by HTC Dev. I'll get the partition Imgs after i changed my CID in an hour or so.

I know ill be asked this, so Ill answer now. I pre-ordered my One X. The box had been re-taped and my SIM was already in the phone when i got it in the mail and I already had S-Off. I don't know if there was some last minute update to the phone, or if some developer or tester forgot to do something before putting it in the box, but thats how it came. Guess I'm really lucky.

So If we are changing our CID, and getting the htcdev tool to unlock our phones. Will the warranty still be gone, or will they still be able to identify our device?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] grankin01:
The device still says s=on but now says unlocked at the top of the screen as the picture will show. My device thinks it is a Rogers phone lol. mmcblk0p4 is the partition that the CID is read from. You don't even need to compare with one that has been unlocked. Dump it from your device and hex edit it. It will show your CID with the IMEI from your device as one long string. You just need to change the CID part of the string, save, and dd it back to its place on the emmc. Then you can go to HTCDEV and it will accept your identifier token.

I have never used HTCDEV so I'm not sure if showing s=on is normal or not but the *** UNLOCKED *** is definitely different. ;)
