I may have made a goldcard on the internal sdcard. All of the hex edits are done and it still works normally.

Here is the guide, when hex editing, instead of writing to sector 0 write to sector 2. You will see the sectors in HxD.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seh6183:
We aren't trying to "create" a goldcard with this method, only use the reader to flash the HOX once the goldcard has already been created.

This is the guide I posted earlier today.. wish people would listen to me. I may be noob but I'm not stupid..

Where is gunnyman, he was trying to do this all day.

Even still, I don't see how this method will help if the flash will just fail as it did for beaups

Well I for one never give the community a heads up until I'm either sure it will work or that I will be done with it in a timely manner.

Why?

Because of all the n00bz saying "WHY ISNT IT OUT YET ARGARGARG I NEEDZ MAH ROOTZ"

So I can see perfectly why anyone who is working on an exploit right now wouldn't be giving someone a status update.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tyshemi:
Understandable but even a message with heart saying someone has made a breakthrough and is currently preparing ya know . We don't need minute by minute status update we need someone to say hey I've got a good exploit and leave it at that we don't even have that

Gunny,

I agree that this thread should be in the Dev section but you should change the title of the thread to [WIP][DEV]ROOT FOR 1.85
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bigroof:
This is looking like the Rezound situation.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mbh87:
How so? The Rezound had access to the HTC Dev unlock.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ptesmoke:
Didnt adam have a method to root 1.85 that involved tricky timing during a reboot?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Att closed that vulnerability very quickly.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Plus they had root before the device even came out
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
I know jcase mentioned he had another exploit the other day but said he couldn't release it due to legal issues and employment or something like that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
So did we but it was patched in the 1.85 update.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
yup.

The back story on that must be interesting as hell.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stumpyz9:
well couldnt he somehow figure out how to use it without going through the legal issues. like using it still but in a different way. cant really explain it cuz i dont know what it is lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Give that method to me. I'll release it and take my chances lol. I have two days left on my 30 days to return and I'm seriously thinking of going to Sprint and getting the Evo 4g LTE. I just wish their data speeds weren't so bad.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bigroof:
Prior to having HTC Dec unlock and root was only temp. It was an atmosphere that made for a crummy Dec community.

id stick around, seeing how he found an exploit already is good, i doubt it will be much longer with these awesome devs
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Don't get butthurt maybe designgears didn't see your post.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] designgears:
where can I get this image you speak of?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Extract rom.zip from ruu and rename it per beaups instructions. I'd give you a direct link if I wasn't out.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seh6183:
In order to get the image, run the RUU. When the software prompts you to agree to terms, next, etc. Don't do anything. Go into your temp folder (click start, then type in the box %temp%). Sort by date. You'll see the most recent folder in there. Go in there and find "rom.zip". Copy and paste it to your desktop. Then you can close out of the RUU software. Rename that rom.zip to PJ83IMG.zip and copy to root of sd card (goldcard).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Root-Maniac:
Dude, THANK YOU!!!! One person ruined my day and you sir have made it a bit better, thank you, like i said im kind of noob but im not stupid, i do lots of research, thank you for acknowledging me besides saying "They are Ignoring you"!! greatly GREATLY appreciated!!:D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Well. The dropbox app rules. Here's a link http://db.tt/GDKxdjme
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Interesting. If that is the case, we can keep usb port free while booting to goldcard (for RUU). HAve you copied an IMG to it to see if hboot picks it up?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] designgears:
testing it out right now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
I get "access denied" error in hxd trying to save after modifying sector 2....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] designgears:
make sure you uncheck read only when you open it
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
I did. I can play with sector zero and change but not sector 2. Perhaps locked bootloader is governing? Ugh.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seh6183:
Gut feeling is that it will have the same error that beaups got. What we really need is someone to test one click on the 1.88 RUU.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] designgears:
checking 1.88 now, it sits and never finds the image on the sdcard.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
That's what beaups ran into as well.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seh6183:
Oh wow. I thought he was getting an error specifically because he was trying to downgrade. So youre saying that we can't even UPgrade firmware now?

Beaups needs to check 1.88 with his method.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Designgears turned his internal memory into a goldcard. That's what isn't working.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
No. At first I tried goldcard with internal card. Nothing. Then gold card with external - works. Well it worked twice. I don't know what I did to get it working or if I somehow was working with the wrong files? Fortunately I have only been playing going back and forth from 1.82 to 1.73 so I'm not screwed.

I'm downloading 1.88 but it's SLOWWWWWW
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seh6183:
Just let us know when its finished because I think thats our ticket. The phone shouldn't stop us from flashing a newer firmware and that firmware doesn't have the root patch as it was released before 1.85. Only thing of concern is the HTCdev unlock trick that may not work after flashing 1.88. I think it will definitely root though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Guys isn't there a cid check that won't allow the 1.88 to install?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seh6183:
If his goldcard method worked ealier when flashing 1.73 I don't see why it wouldn't allow him to move up in versions. You're thinking it won't allow it because its a different region firmware?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
You certain 1.88 doesn't have the root patch? If that turns out to be the case, we are in great luck.....rarely does a newer version # have an exploit unpatched. Remember 1.85 has been out for some time, just not officially - and it was always unrootable.

If 1.88 is a go, process would go like this

1.) Upgrade to 1.88 via goldcard (required as CID is not matched)

2.) Root

3.) Edit CID to superCID

4.) Unlock bootloader

5.) Flash custom recovery

6.) Win

FYI I'm seeing 1.5 hours left for the 1.88 RUU.,.......damn filefactory

THAT is what goldcard is supposed to bypass.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dedzombie:
How slow? I may have a copy in my dropbox?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seh6183:
This is exactly how I see it happening. I am almost certain that 1.88 is older than the 1.85 even though it doesn't appear to be.

If this can be confirmed, we should definitely do that immediately.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Oh yeah duh. Lol been a long day.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shgadwa:
Thanks beaups! I think I'm going to give this a go. I'm wondering though, how do I create the gold card on my internal sd card? I know someone posted a link but that was using an external card. Is the process any different?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Designgears is testing on internal and looks like a nonstarter for internal
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stumpyz9:
So not sure if anyone asked but can someone explain making the cable further? I understand what has to be done but his explanation was so dam confusing.

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

Ok what you're doing is just adding power into a regular USB to microUSB cable. So you'll cut it in the middle and splice in half of a regular USB cable. On one end of your microUSB cable youll have your standard microUSB plug, on the other you'll have 2 usb plugs. One will be for power only (black and red) and the other will have all 4 wires going to it for power and data. I will draw you a picture if I have to LOL

Yea its absolutely ridiculous and I am very bitter about it. Why did they have to make the One X SO sexy that I just couldn't avoid buying it :( I so badly want to get another Galaxy Nexus to piss on AT&T but I cant bring myself to do it.

Not being an s-off expert, what does it really add on the HOX? We can already flash kernels, radios, etc. through CWM. It's quite open with unlocked BL IMO.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
I don't care about s-off right now. I just wanna be able to root this damn thing and change the cid. Between all this **** AT&T has done to lock this down and people holding back additional methods to obtain root, it's very frustrating.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Don't we get all those features sans downgrading (obviously ;) ) with unlocked BL? In fact some are claiming downgrade ability with just superCID.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danielsaenz:
Just as an FYI, buying FileFactory premium does NOT help with download speeds. This sucks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Jamesyboy:
I don't understand...is this root for people who aren't able to unlock their bootloaders?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seh6183:
I remember reading a huge debate one time about whether or not it was necessary and one dev was saying that s-off only creates more problems as people can more easily brick their devices. They were saying that you can essentially accomplish everything with an unlocked bootloader and the phone is less brickable. This was a while ago and for another device, but...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Yes. ATT phones can't get BL unlock without changing CID. Can't change CID without root. Can't root on 1.85.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Jamesyboy:
I thought the guide in general showed you how to UL the bootloader on 1.85...

Damn....you need root to even use the guide?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Yes. AT&T Phones are now shipping with a software version that is not rootable and AT&T won't let us unlock the bootloader either. V
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seh6183:
This is a root attempt for version 1.85, which is currently un-rootable. Without root there is no way to unlock the bootloader on this device.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Yep. HAve to change CID and only root can change CID. All due to ATT blocking our phones from BL unlock.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danielsaenz:
OK, I need specific instructions on how to go to stock then attempt to upgrade to 1.88, then try the root. Let me know what I need to do.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seh6183:
Do you have the 1.88 RUU file?

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------

beaups how much longer on your 1.88 as you already have a functioning goldcard setup?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danielsaenz:
Yes, I have the file. Relocking bootloader as we speak.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seh6183:
Well, do you have a gold card made and the powered card reader setup that beaups detailed on page 24? If not, you may want to wait because beaups should almost be done downloading by now. You'll need a couple USB cords and need to cut them up to get it working.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danielsaenz:
I sure do. BTW, I have an unlocked, rooted One X, but willing to risk it all for you guys.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shgadwa:
Sorry if I sound impatient but I'm still not sure how to create the gold card on my internal storage. Downloading 1.88 shouldn't be a problem for me. But I'm not sure how to create the gold card when this is not really the traditional way.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seh6183:
Well hot damn. Apart from locking the bootloader I think you'll need to get the stock recovery back on the phone. Here are the instructions for using the goldcard:

7.) Put whatever PJ83IMG.zip you want to use on goldcard. (on the root of the card)

8.) Card into card reader. Card reader into F-F connector. Other end of F-F connector into your data end (not the end with only power, the end with data).

9.) Power only end into a powered on computer or powered usb hub, etc.

10.) Micro end into phone

Reboot into bootloader. If phone is in fastboot press the power button once and wait a while, phone will scan card. After scan it asks if you are sure you want to flash, vol up for "yes" (hard to read, you'll understand).

Phone will reboot a few times while flashing, and take 15-20 minutes.

If this works you should be on 1.88 and the one click root SHOULD work. We will go from there if this works.

When you get back to normal hboot screen, just select reboot and you are done.

Just rename the WHOLE ruu to this or get the biggest file from the RUU, which is named [0] and rename that to PJ83IMG.zip?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shgadwa:
Sounds good! I love it when a company tries really hard to keep their users from hacking their software and then it ends up being hacked anyway! In your face AT&T!

Im shocked the root patch was applied to 1.88. The only thing I can think of now is somehow bypassing the firmware downgrade problem using the gold card method. Good luck to us lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shgadwa:
Honestly, I had my doubts from the very beginning. That is 1.88 is theoretically newer than 1.85 so you'd think they would have the same features but with improvements, if nothing else making it harder to crack. But I think someone here said that it's actually older. Which could just mean they've been working on it longer and trying to make it more secure. Right now we hate security.

Im putting my money on downgrading but I'm not so sure how well it'll go for you to downgrade from stock.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
I'm retracting my statement until we learn more. I just don't understand why someone on XDA would allow for AT&T to gain more power to lock us down. That's not what this site is here for. How can everyone talk so much **** about AT&T and hate them so much for locking things down and then say it's ok and understandable to let them know about these exploits so that they can shut them down for other people who don't use them right away? They will find this stuff out anyway whether we tell them or not. They hire people for that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dkirchik:
No no no. At&t like apple and a ton of other companies hire people to troll this stuff. Mostly independent companies
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
Well, I don't know who your referring to but some times when a developer finds an exploit they notify the vendor simply because all though we take that exploit to better our device and our experience, others may use the exploit to gain root in a person's phone and steal personal information. There are some evil people in this world so although I hate that AT&T tries to patch things to prevent me from doing what I want to do I understand the decision for advising them.
