[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Chubby_Skunk:
I'm about to go pick one up at the AT&T store and had 3 questions before I do..

1) I heard that the Web Browsing isn't smooth... like when you double-tap to zoom in or pinch-to-zoom it freezes and loads or whatever.

2) When you are recording video; it has terrible frame rate when you are moving the camera around...

3) Is this phone worth it?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] OneX'er:
This is my first ever android phone, came from and iPhone 4 and I gotta say, its AMAZING! Well worth the money, and I haven't had any of the issues you mentioned.

I say get it!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Chubby_Skunk:
I was going to go get one tomorrow. Thanks for the opinion!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] americasteam:
I have taken several videos and haven't had any framerate drops. That's not saying it doesn't happen, but it hasn't happened to me yet.

The stock browser does have some jerkiness due to the text reflow. Some don't like the reflow, but I absolutely love it. If this bothers you, you can use another browser. Chrome Beta and Opera work great on this phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Chubby_Skunk:
Yeah that was that I was thinking. I'd just use Chrome like I do on my Nexus S... :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] craig0r:
Just my personal experience, but I find the Chrome browser to perform poorly on this phone, compared to Opera Mini or the stock browser. I was running a vanilla ICS rom on my DHD and Chrome worked great on that.

That aside, I do find some weird jitters in the stock browser. Honestly though, it's not that bad. Usually only has a noticeable effect if I try to zoom on a page while it's still loading. Also, zooming in on plain text files (like game walkthroughs) seems to lose your place in the file, even though the text doesn't get reflowed.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mycenae:
I am receiving my new Nook Color in a month (as a gift), and would like to know if anyone has tried - or is willing to try - Bochs on NC running 98lite's "micro98" (litepc.com/98micro.html).

People have argued that Win98 would not be doable, but micro98 installs just the operating system - it's a 50MB install and it runs on hardly any RAM at all. I have the software, but I don't have the NC!

Hi All,

OK, bootloader is unlocked, I am working on recovery, so the next challenge is....................S-OFF!!! Aw, f%@ck, I thought i had my life back...

I invite all users with ideas and/or knowledge to jump in and tell me what they think I am doing right and what makes me a moron. I have no pride, so lay it on me.

I will post progress reports in Post #2.

Anyway, here's to getting this done quickly.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JSLEnterprises:

Thought I'd get out of your thread and the root thread....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JSLEnterprises:
I had to send another message to red not to reopen the think tank thread (title would have been edited obviously), but to still go ahead with the cleanups... lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] killathenoob:
Sorry if I'm totally off base here but I do believe reading on XDA somewhere that with the HTC One series phones when you unlock the bootloader it locks the phone from being able to flash recoverys.

This is the reason why I have waited to do the bootloader unlock I didnt want to screw myself from ever being able to flash custom roms.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] equlizer:
you have to use this unlock method for the bootloader so why would it screw anything else up? It opens up all possibilities, not close them.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sk806:
Nope. I have flashed CWM recovery at least 4 times on an international One X AFTER unlocking the bootloader. I wish that were it...:).

I think you may be thinking of firmware, which is a real mess, because unlocking your bootloader can set your CID to "none", and thus, you can't flash different firmware (i.e., an EU firmware on an Asian phone)...not that that would matter for these carrier-branded phones...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kennethpenn:
Good job and great progress. Unfortunately, none of us AT&T users can join in on the fun. :rolleyes:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JSLEnterprises:
If that was completely true, then the Tegra 3 model's would not have cwm recovery... yet they do.

We just havent figured out a working method for ours.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] LNKNPRKFN:
i think what Killathehnoob is trying to say is that its only the ROGERS version of the ONE X that when unlocking the BLer HTC has somehow lock the other partitions so that custom recoveries and kernels are not able to be flashed to the phone...which essentially could be the case because all they said they will "unlock" the BLer...BUT they never said they would NOT do anything else in the process. maybe its a possibillity that has been over looked...just THINK TANKING is all
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JSLEnterprises:
I understand what you mean

I wonder if the fact that its new proprietary qualcomm chip is the reason why its being 'limited'... so we may have to rethink the whole initialization process.

we cant even get to the point that the logcat is able to start logging. So we're flying blind.

We've extended the time between loading to the soft reboot after the flash... but that doesnt tell us much.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] killathenoob:
I found the artice I read check it out

http://mobilesyrup.com/2012/05/02/i...bootloader-unlock-tool-on-one-series-devices/
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sk806:
Interesting. I think the lack is fastboot boot is what they are referring to. This would prevent custom kernel development on an s-off device, but should still allow flashing of insecure stock boot images, as with the int. HOX, althoug i read it again, anf maybe they are talking about more than that. I am not sure that the article is saying that there is something different with the Rogers version vs other versions, but it seems like there may be, and obviously with the Att version. I think I will spend a day just reading, trying to pick other devs' brains, and start fresh...thanks for the input.

Steve
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JSLEnterprises:
The 'fastboot boot' command works however, its how we got root in the first place.

Whoa, very interesting. I was certain it did not on the Int one x.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sk806:
Just to be clear, you are not referring to fastboot flash boot, right?

Edit, nevermind, jut looked at Paul's post, it is fastboot boot. Wow.

Again thanks for this. Back to the drawing board!!!!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Root-Maniac:
Would send one but I got no idea what it is... Lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Just wanted to say that the identifer tokens are most likely a random encryption's I have ran it at least three times and kept a copy of each one and there is absolutely no correlation between them each is unique. But what I'm wondering is how does a ruu verify it is being flashed on the correct device and do you think the HTCdev site is using a similar process do verify because the error is mid sum which correct me if I'm wrong is the model id number of our phones. Wish I could help more but that's all I got at the moment.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sk806:
Like I said, long shot, but hoping there is something useful...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sk806:
MID is the same for rogers and at&t pj83000 (I believe), but CID is different. I think it's that which htcdev uses, and Ruu's definitely do.

Steve
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sk806:
Tokens

I have enough tokens, thanks everyone. Would some Rogers folks mind sending me some of their unlock_code.bins? Thanks!

Steve
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sk806:
So, I am wondering if the identifier token code is just a randomly generated number based on our CID's and other info...If so, we will still need to modify/spoof our CIDs somehow. Anyway, I am getting tired. Hope others keep it going. I'll check back in later on. Need to spend some time away from this...:).

Steve
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Zarboz:
CID Check

thats why when you change CID to 1111111 you can flash any RUU from any region
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Scott:
Pretty sure it is. I went through all of this already on the Rezound. What needs to be done is this...

1. The alogarithm for the unlock token needs to be exposed to us (Not gonna happen). Or we need to be able to decipher it ourselves (Possible). This is possible with enough tokens and someone with skill at decoding. Then we would build and or hex edit tokens that would match the CID and TZ of the device. Unlikely but not IMPOSSIBLE. Also keeping in mind we would need multiple unlock toeksn and mutliple unlock codes to compare to the device. I am sure if you use a visual hex editor you will start to see a parttern. I did about 10 of them on Rezound before but dont know enough about encryption to understand what I am seeing.

or

2. The CID of the device needs to be changed and I am sure that will not happen without S-OFF. Along with CID I am pretty sure the "Trusted Zone" will need to eb changed to match the CID. I have a feeling its more than just changing one part, like a puzzle. There are going to be multiple pieces that fit together.

or

3. Hardware S-OFF. I think this is most likely the best way to do it. If you look at the S-OFF method for the Rezound its actually hardware hack that causes the eMMC to reboot in such a series that it causes some sort of loop hole to open. From there the S-OFF is toggled. We need to talk to the jbear team and see what they say about this device. They haven IRC chat but I am at work and cannot access IRC.

-Scott

EDIT: And I like said earlier, I am not trying to be Debbie Downer. I want this too! I am just telling you from experiecne on multiple locked devices what has been discussed in the past.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sk806:
No downer, appreciate your experience. I wasn't around the Rezound enough to be there when s-off came. Thanks, Scott. I'll get on IRC either tonight or tomorrow. If anyone involved wants to hit them up, please do.

wimax.jar

wimax.odex

we dont haz t3h wimax :D

sorry completely unrelated i had to lighten my mood slightly as for progress with this project i feel we are eliminating possible resolutions and moving towards a focal for our efforts..

the APX download mode has been discussed and is not plausible for the s4 series chipset at this time (I THINK)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Is it practical to just keep using batch installers for custom roms??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] niceppl:
well I'm not sure if this is a stupid method to verify.

But hey I got a s-off unit here...What if I change my cid to att cid.

then relock my bootloader.... and flash att ruu...

after I reobtain the identifier and try to unlock from the htcdev..see if it stops me or not.

question for my own sake...will I lose s-off if I do above steps....?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
I suppose bricking a phone with s-off would kinda suck...

Anyway, here's to hoping that you guys get this sorted.

They get the job done thats about it, but with an unlocked BL and CWM recovery we'd open up a completely new dimension on roms and what we can flash.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] serialtoon:
Forgive my ineptitude, but what does this mean?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
what does "what" mean?

The C code?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] E:V:A:
"What" this means is, that there is absolutely no development going on in this thread AFAICT. The feedback I get here is at an excruciating minimum, and the only guy known (to me) to have put his hands on some code, is apparently not able to continue the work at the moment. And in case someone have, they are certainly not able to communicate their work or findings here, in such a way that we can make any further progress.

I'm a hardware guy and I don't even have one of these, so I have reached my limit of what's possible to do in theory, and I'm certainly not going to spend much more time on this, unless (a) someone can come forward with some coding skills or (b) I can get my hands on one of these suckers myself...

It is surprising to see how few people are involved in trying to get something done with this device. This is a great piece of hardware which does really well in comparison to all other devices, but with almost no low-level developer interest. What happened? Did everyone in the states get blinded by the national mud-throwing contest or censored by Google for uploading the worlds most unpopular C-film?

So to summarize, we have identified the problem, but nobody here is enough willing, capable or interested to work on it. So there you have it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
I know C. But I know nothing about kernel development. I looked at the some of the source, which wasn't too abstract to me, but I dont know how I can help since I have never worked with kernels

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] scotty1223:
put me in the "not enuff capable' category. im perfectly willing and quite interested,and been following the thread closely,just keeping my non-dev comments to myself. i have basic adb/fastboot skills,but thats about it... wish i could contribute more.

where are you located? id possibly be willing to lend you my device if you could be pretty sure id get it back in a working state ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] regaw_leinad:
Right now, you can focus on stripping out the unnecessary code from gfree that doesn't need to be there for our purposes. I was pretty far along, and my computer was, well, compromised to say the least. Also, there are modifications that need to be made in the code that's still there. I get back again tomorrow around 3pm PST, and I'll have a go at it again. But you can start as well.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Will searching through this thread help me decide what isn't needed?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
I appreciate your help E.V.A. hopefully work continues tomorrow.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] regaw_leinad:
//if any of the help options was specified
printf("gfree usage:\n");
printf("gfree [-h|-?|--help] [-v|--version] [-s|--secu_flag on|off]\n");
printf("\t-h | -? | --help: display this message\n");
printf("\t-v | --version: display program version\n");
printf("\t-s | --secu_flag on|off: turn secu_flag on or off\n");
printf("\t-c | --cid <CID>: set the CID to the 8-char long CID\n");
printf("\t-S | --sim_unlock: remove the SIMLOCK\n");
printf("\t-w | --disable_wp: disable write protect on eMMC and remove kernel filter only\n");
printf("\t-b | --hboot: <hbootFile>: install hboot from image file\n");
printf("\t-y | --recovery: <recoveryFile>: install recovery from image file\n");
printf("\t-r | --restore <backupFile>: restore partition from backup file\n");
printf("\t-d | --debug: enable debug output\n");
printf("\n");
printf("\t-f | --free_all: same as --secu_flag off --sim_unlock --cid 11111111\n");
exit(0);

most of those options aren't needed, we should write something with at least an --secu_flag option, --disable_wp and --hboot. We'll have to change the implementations of them as well based on the HOX, and I'm still not 100% sure this hasn't been patched.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
The method HAS been patched. It was patched out in a subsequent release of the firmware the code was written for. IIRC radio took over and filtered kernel's attempts to touch eMMC power. Specifically, the wpthis code.

The goal (at least on my end) in dealing with this gfree code was learning how they managed to power-cycle and reinitalize eMMC and hope we could figure out a way to apply it to HOX.

Other problem with this angle, is it would obviously require root, alienating those stuck on 2.20.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
e•MMC power cycling

The master can execute any sequence of VCC and VCCQ power-up/power-down. However, the master must not issue any commands until VCC and VCCQ are stable within each operating voltage range. After the slave enters sleep mode, the master can power-down VCC to reduce power consumption. It is necessary for the slave to be ramped up to VCC before the host issues CMD5 (SLEEP_AWAKE) to wake the slave unit

If VCC or VCCq are below 0.5 V for longer than 1 ms, the slave shall always return to the pre-idle state, and perform the appropriate boot behavior, as appropriate. The slave will behaves as in a standard powerup condition once the voltages have returned to their functional ranges. An exception to this behavior is if the device is in sleep state, in which the voltage on VCC is not monitored. In addition to the above rules, in case of e2•MMC, the D-VDDQ

This is quoted out of jedec emmc standards. Powercycle is the only way to reset the wp also, without a actual exploit.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Kernal is no doubt the key for powercycle, there's also a couple Chinese sites going into some trial n error on Emmc wp using a few of the cmd for emmc

The EVO 4G LTE had S-OFF at one point, not sure if they still do. I think they managed to exploit it with the external SD and removable battery, which we don't have.

I'm sure that crew is working on possible exploits. EVA might want to get in touch with Globatron or Fuses, and see if they need any help. No guarantees, as I haven't spoken to those guys since sensation unbrick and s-off for some earlier devices rolled out.

Not sure if xda is a good place to have a chat-like dev. discussions, especially if some of you guys are trying to work together.We did some of that on here, but a lot of it was on irc as well. I've noticed most devs. usually keep their mouths shut, and for good reasons.

I agree. Everyone who is working on this should join up in an irc or on Google Talk. We got a lot of work done on Talk. Much more than we could have done waiting for replies on here.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
G talk was by far the most productive. We did everything there. Problem is we all invested all our free time to it. And it was a lot of time. All of our schedules since have become filled and none of us really have anytime to work like we did before. Thatsva lot of the reason I take offense to posts that suggest we aren't doing our part. Nobody owes or has a part, we do what we can, when we can, IF we can. And regardless it needs to be accepted that if nobody is jumping in to help, wait and come back and ask again. Somebody will be there when somebody is able to be there. That's all that can be asked. Just a ramble :D
