ya, but it wasn't that a-hole's idea so I'm ok with it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] galfert:
I'm the one that suggested the thread name change. :)

It was another few people that said it didn't belong at all (which I didn't agree with).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
Yes! That was a great idea and the way you phrased your comment is exactly how things should be done around here. It was a great idea!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Yeah I reread this thread over the weekend. Good times.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stumpyz9:
yeah not really familliar with that, i rooted my inspire a different way haha, but if we keep thinking we might get somewhere, lets put our thinking caps on lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
exactly. This wasn't an iPhone I bought. Apple pretty much effectively shut down the developers for the iPhone. Now it looks as if AT&T (of all people) has done it to us. And man that pisses me off so much. I can't stand AT&T and how they run their business.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
if you used attn1's hack kit or the one that kid who's name I can't recall you used a goldcard but he automated the entire process. Too bad he's sworn off of HTC devices, but I can see why he did at this point.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Does the OTA download only occur when connected to WiFi? I vote trying to push 1.73 to the phone however AT&T is doing it. Granted, I don't really know how to do that but it sounds plausible.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
it won't work, there are signatures and heavy encryption involved.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stumpyz9:
no i uised the cyanogenmod wiki lol, and i can see why, id prolly be waiting for the sgs3 but i just cant stand how dam ugly it is so im going to stick here and wait till we get root, been reading up on kernel development and was hoping on trying it on this but ill have to wait a bit lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jay661972:
I see that makes sense now. But usually it comes with 1.82, 1.85 is just the ota update right? Not unless they shipped hox with 1.85, then that sucks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
HOX is now shipping with 1.85
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stumpyz9:
well thats what theyve been doing
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
I don't understand what could be so illegal with a root method. Wouldn't that make all methods illegal?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
if you stole a company's intellectual property to get root you could be in big trouble. Finding an exploit is one thing, but stealing it is quite another.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jay661972:
Freaking AT&T...I hope tmobile wont do the same. Planning to get the sgs3 to complete my galaxy line collection. I feel bad for those who got theirs 1.85.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jesusdavid:
Yes I see I was on 1.82 and rooted and than got the update, so this was what I was missing lol. Thanks guys
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
I thought we already concluded that we have goldcard support via usb. This (I thought) was confirmed in the s-off thread by another user.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stumpyz9:
Yes but for that i think we need root
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
No, I remember the sdcard (usb reader) being hit by fastboot. I don't have the hardware (reader) to test, but I think goldcard is what's needing worked on.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
For USB Host we need kernel source.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Root-Maniac:
Ok, So why cant people without root use someone elses voodoo root keeper backup data??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JBM12G:
That is actually a really good idea. I have no idea if it would work though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
I guess that's not all bad, doesn't the kernel source have to be released eventually?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
Yep

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------

It won't work.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Again, my understanding is it's working fine in fastboot, but disabled in kernel for normal use.

I'm going to do some research, but I think this is the method. Only issue will be generating CID. Not cure if there are windows tools for that, or if we can use another HTC phone - as we have no USBOTG support from the Android O/S until kernel is fixed.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
How are you going to put the rootsave file back without root? That's been investigated. The file gets saved in /system
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mbh87:
because you need root in order to store the backup.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] smokin1337:
Here is the file in case you figure it out:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/jsvcppluuuwh8zt/su-backup

Has anyone tried using adb while the phone is in fast boot ? You can do remount then try pushing the file to /system.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Root-Maniac:
I'm rooted, just trying to help, my bad.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ebaul:
There is. Start the RUU process but don't click anything. Lower the RUU window, go to your user folder if Windows 7, then go to your temp folder, on temp, look for the NEWEST folder, in it there is a sub-folder that contains a file called "rom.zip". All the images are there. Look at the attached from 1.85.

I don't know if this even helps, but there it is. I hope it helps.

If you knew this info, then disregard!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stumpyz9:
adb doesnt work in bootloader, good idea though

---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------

maybe we can add in su and then somehow repackage it
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ebaul:
I don't have android knowledge. I hope someone can do something with it. I'm rooted on 1.85 but I hate to see others struggling trying to get root. Wish I could be of any help tho. Are those .img files located inside that zip protected somehow? can someone open one of those? I don't know the structure nor the android language, just throwing things out there. Is there even a way to open the .img files? There are like 16 of those inside that rom.zip file, one of them is more than 1gb.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
I'm unable to remount while in fastboot.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stumpyz9:
Well it seems like it could but i doubt itd be that simple.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
I'm not seeing this at all.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ebaul:
These are the images inside that rom.zip, notice there are so many..! Sorry, I'm no android developer, it just amazes me how much goes into a rom.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Root-Maniac:
I'm rooted. And everything. If you guys need anything from me feel free to hit me up
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stumpyz9:
If we can decompile the system.img and add su in thatd be awesome. I dont know what we should use to decompile it though
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Root-Maniac:
Would tweaking the ruu help us in s off at all, insecure h boot maybe????? Sorry for the off topic..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ebaul:
You have to unhide the hidden files. What version of windows do you have?

In Windows 7, click on Computer, once there, look on the upper left hand side of the window, you'll see "Organize", click that and match the screens attached.

Remember, DO NOT EXIT THE RUU OR THE FILES WILL BE DELETED.

You must do it while RUU is open
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stumpyz9:
No, check out the s-off think tank if your interested in that. Very intensive over there though
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] afzalarsalan:
No offense to anyone but normally bounties don't help development. They have actually stalled development in the past as seen with the Touchpad fiasco. No offense to anyone but a bounty may not be the best way as I am sure developers are already trying their hardest.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
This stuff is out of my league but what about trying to take the system.img from 1.73 or 1.82 and replacing it in 1.85? I'm sure it's not going to be that easy but just thinking.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] venelar:
Pretty sure this was discussed in one of the first root threads. IIRC altering the ruu's at all breaks signature and won't work.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ebaul:
Funny you said that...I tried it, it didn't work. I can't remember the exact error, but it stopped, something about security, I guess the RUU ensures integrity of the .img files before flashing, because it didn't even brick at all, it simply didn't flash.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nimski62:
I'm pretty sure mismatched signatures would prevent that from working.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dkirchik:
I tried that a few days ago security checks didn't allow it. I tried every rename I could think of.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
Ya, I figured it wouldn't work but hey, who ever thought we could change the cid to get the bootloader unlock.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ebaul:
So true!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
So how were you guys able to swap stuff out in the rom.zip? I'm trying to open it in an archive with 7-zip and whenever I try and drag anything into it it says that it's not implemented.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stumpyz9:
kind of confused about what you guys tried, did you just swap out the system.img? if not we could still try just decompiling, modding the system image that comes with it and then recompile. i just cant find a program that will let me decompile on windows, dont have linux set up yet
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RiPpeR_dUdE:
Not a Dev, but thinking here.... what about taking a current 1.85 full install, extracting from a nandroid, which is already rooted and creating a self-extracting installer; similar to the RUU??? Is there a reason why this couldn't work?

That way we're only creating the installer and not actually worrying about an exploit.... thoughts?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mbh87:
Won't work because it would have to be signed by HTC. Modding a RUU or any zip breaks the signature and it will just error.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Here's a couple ideas. If they sound stupid, they probably are.

Could we add SU & busybox to the ruu and run it? Would it cause an error? We wouldn't be taking anything out, just adding it.

Also, where are all the places adb works? bootloader, phone on in charge only? We need to have an adb shell with su privileges to change the cid. What if we factory reset the phone and while it's doing that try to open and adb shell? It must have su privileges to factory reset.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stumpyz9:
Adding su to the ruu is what i suggested but no one seemed to even notice the idea

And i highly doubt you could get anything going during a factory reset, even if it had root privileges because its already busy wiping the phone
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
yea I was just thinking that once you were in with adb shell and su it would stay after starting back up.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
Seems that modifying the RUU in any way, wether adding or removing breaks the signature and will give a security error.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Pirateghost:
You CANNOT modify the ruu or rom zip and have it work on a bootloader locked device.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Thanks buzz-kill. LOL I'm just playin'
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
I knew that from other HTC devices I've owned but pretty desperate and just trying anything I could. Thanks for the confirmation.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
What actually happens when AT&T users try to unlock the bootloader via htcdev? Eg

Can you get the identifier token?

Does HTCDEV email back an unlock token?

What happens when you flash the unlock token?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sbryan12144:
Anyone with 1.85 firmware and don't have an unlocked bootloader has to do the following.

Harass AT&T and HTC to unlock the bootloader. HTC usually isn't the culprit behind the carrier specific locks. So if AT&T feels people will buy more HTC One X's because of the bootloader, they'd be wise to allow HTC to unlock it. This isn't something that's going to happen until the consumers show their unhappiness with the carrier's choice on the matter. When AT&T does so, then we should also get the kernel source as well.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
U can get the identifier token in fastboot but when you paste it on HTC-Dev it gives you an error.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
I don't think AT&T cares much. Go look at their fb page. Every comment on their is someone saying how bad they suck. It's like they could give a ****.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
People have said that AT&T is LEGALLY obligated to provide the kernel source. If so, how come they haven't yet?

Also, it looks like I'm here for the long haul. I missed judged my 30 day return policy by a day.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sbryan12144:
CID won't let you install the 1.88 ruu. Different CIDs
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] galfert:
I think there are only two possibilities:

1) AT&T decides to allow HTC to unlock bootloader

Or....

2) Temp root exploit is found which is then used to SuperCID. Which then allows HTCDev unlock.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Would it be possible to modify the unlock file we get from HTCDev to work with a different phone/ identifier token?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dasfiend:
You can file a BBB complaint, as I did, but AT&T had a rep just give me the usual bull**** "cannot guarantee the security" blah blah blah. Even after I pointed out that AT&T is the only HOX carrier to not allow unlocking *AND* there are tons of other phones on AT&T that are either unlocked (LG Nitro HD, my old phone) or that are trivial to unlock (every recent Samsung phone).

I got nothin' on the 1.88 'sitch.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PeterCiulla:
I know little (nothing) about development, but is it possible to unlock the bootloader with a file sent from HTVDev from another phone? Or is this file specific to the phone going though the unlock process on their site?

Then rename to PJ(something, need to research).zip and place it on the goldcard. Then hook all that up through my ghetto y-cabled usb otg cable, boot into fastboot and hope.....running RUU.exe on pc isn't going to be much of an option considering we'll already have the usb port tied up with the goldcard.

Since your model is a Korean (YP-GB70) the hardware is different from the International (YP-G70).

It appears you know how to flash ROMs via Odin so you will need only a original Froyo or Gingerbread firmware with the file dbdata.rfs and a .pit file to use the re-partition and make your playea as new...

I rooted my desire today using unrevoked and flashed it with cyanogenmod 7. It worked for a few hours but after that the phone turned of and I can't turn it on anymore. If i plug it in the wall and have the battery in it rumbles and shows the htc screen for a short time (not even a second) and than goes black en keeps doing that indefinitely. If I hold the volume down button it keeps blinking but it shows the fastboot screen for a brief moment instead of the htc logo.

as soon as i disconnect the usb cable the phone turns off, even if the battery is inserted.

does anyone know what could be wrong with my phone?
