well im softbricked - it boots into 'os' but i cannot get sense going - even going to settings application crashes. I can go into bootloader/hboot mode, but there's no recovery.

and... we may have the perpetual flash syndrome. :/ i see the 'htc' branded bootloader screen with the black background - but nothing ever finishes. now what? ive got the bootloader unlocked but no root and yey a corrupt flash.

yup. now wat :/

settings app crashes so i cant change date/time this way. i think i can still get adb shell, will investigate date/time there.

cannot run the att software update check - perhaps anyone knows the process binary? (maybe i can execute that from inside adb shell too)

Got out of corrupt flash

Well, i've managed to get unbricked. Did the following:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/HTC_One_X#Disaster_Recovery_-_what_to_do_in_the_event_of_a_bad_flash

Except - the links are for the one x not the XL like we all have. but most of the process works great. For me i was finally able to flash the stock recovery ruu from htc after doing:

<using the adb and fastboot from the 'OneXRootOneClick' folder>

1. go to boot loader

2. fastboot+usb mode

3. 'fastboot devices' showed my phone

4. fastboot getvar version-main

showed me the ruu version to match.

5. fastboot oem lock

this actually bluescreened my laptop! but when i tried again after rebooting got output that phone was already locked.

6. fastboot erase cache

this did erase the cache, and i believe rebooted the phone.

7. installed htc sync and connected phone now in corrupt os mode

8. once htc sync was in and the above steps were done, somehow my phone let me change the connection type to htc sync. i got it connected (adb could also see it at this point with 'adb devices') and forced a few BS files to my phone to ensure that the communication was real and the app had full read/write access.

9. put phone back in power mode or whatever, and rebooted to bootloader using adb

10. then ran the ruu, which actually WORKED.

i'm wondering if my trouble started when i was flashing the ruu earlier and not oem locked. Anyway, now to start over and go back to hacking the phone!!! ROOT / UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER / AWESOME ROMS HERE I COME!!!

Any chance this could work on a HTC One S? ¿?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] starscalling:
yey i've graduated to having this same problem up here!

---------- Post added at 01:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 AM ----------

ok starting over with full phone factory wipe.

thinking:

set usb debug

set time forward 2 days

set charge to default and choose it

enable install apks from other than market.

reboot phone, retry.

yeah - resets the 'last checked for att software update' flag - which has a 24 hour time on it.

and now i dont get past the device supposedly rebooting.

if i force it to continue by pushing ctrl+c and saying no do not end the batch:

for sure the remount is failing. i've tried doing the script by hand. about to try again apparently.

---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 AM ----------

the process? sure i don't see why not. there's a bit further on in the guide that talks about finding the rom.zip file - fyi its hidden down a level or something in that %temp% folder - for me was in a application type directory:

{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544123456789}

in there you can find the signed boot and system img's - i just didn't have to go quite that far myself before the ruu would flash.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PeQuEsan:
Mmm... are we talking about the same? I can't see any reference to RUU nor extracting any images in this exploit, just run a batch file... ¿?:eek:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] starscalling:
SUCCESS!!

you will need to collect some tools. the ruu is the stock image inside a exe for your phone. the su binary? just look for whatever one is used in the forums for your phone - i'm saying it seems logical the process MIGHT work.

you should consult someone in the forums for your phone to ensure it won't make things worse, but if it were me? well i've been through all sort of forums looking for keystrokes and methods. finally found one that worked for me..

its in the other 185 thread:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PeQuEsan:
I can understand the process, but I still don't think we need any RUU to apply this exploit... do I? Only file needed is su binary to push it once we gain write access to /system partition.

Thanks anyway... I'm not sure if this would work here in Europe. FOTA servers are from HTC... But I could try, just in case it works... :P
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Since this exploit contacts At7T's servers and those servers are expecting an HTC One X (EVITA) what makes you think it would work on a One S?

I mean you can unlock your bootloader, go do that and get root.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] D3LTA:
Vi preghiamo di darci SU

Will not work in europe...

i am waiting for same miracle for HTC One S with 1.78 ota
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PeQuEsan:
That's right... As our HTC One S has last OTA update, it will never reboot after checking for a new OTA, so it makes no sense that this exploit can be used in my situation. Sorry to have bothered you before opening root.bat and realising the bad news...

@gunnyman, I would like to avoid have to send my IMEI to HTCDev, as many other here.

@D3LTA, we're in same situation.

Thanks all of you.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Screaming Ball Sweat:
Y would there be "permission denied" in the cmd line?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XNine:
Worked great for me, after a few tries. It has it's quirks, but I chalk it up to the Charging Option on Android itself and not the script.

I had to first: Double Click/install USB drivers

Run the ADB file.

A command line popped up with a thousand lines scrolling, then disappeared.

Connect my phone via USB, and select Charge Only.

Run the Root Script. Check for Update on the phone via Settings/Software Update/Check for Update.

Your phone will reboot several times, even making it into the home screen. It will then reboot again. Just don't fiddle with it until it sits on the homescreen for a few.

At that point, be sure the first thing you do is Update the SuperSU app. IT will download SU binaries or whatever, and it's good to go.

Thanks SO MUCH! I just rooted my phone today, July 2nd, following the step by step instructions. Everything went exactly as it was supposed to and now my phone is rooted with an unlocked boot loader! Now to work on getting rid of the AT&T crap!

Thanks again!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] soulreaver99:
Omg I'm such an idiot. The reason I was receiving errors was because its been rooted the entire time. That's what happens when you buy stuff of craigs list lol!

However, the previous owner didn't unlock the boot loader and install CWM which needs to be done in order to install custom ROMs :silly:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nrap:
ok just to be clear so i don't brick my brand new phone

i know this says root for 1.85

does that include 1.85.502.3 710RD?

cause thats whats on my phone. im guessing its the same but want to be sure
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] loneBoat:
You're good.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nrap:
Yup

this worked today on a brand new phone purchased this morning

had to roll the clock forward several times

think it finally worked on July 9th.

i didnt' understand the clock rolling forward until i saw that it locks you out of checking for updates for 24 hours.

thanks for the script

might just tackle the bootloader tomorrow

that seems like a more difficult and risky task as far as possibilities of bricking.

but i do love to flash roms

quick question

what is the difference between SuperSU and Superuser?

do i need both?

cause as of now with the root method i just have SuperSU
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sm753:
Worked like a charm

Got my phone today on July 3. Took a few tries like the OP said. Reboot, roll clock forward 2 days. Rinse and repeat. Mine failed half way through a few times. Just reboot and run the script again. I ran it again just to make sure and I got the message that "such and such" already existed (sorry can't remember the file name).

Bootloader unlocked, custom recovery installed, and ROM flashed all within 1-2 hours of buying the phone.

Thanks to everyone in XDA community. :laugh::good:

did you use the bootloader unlock method linked in the OP?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] alus415:
How do i know if I'm rooted? I ran the script few times and followed instructions but have no idead if this worked.

I checked SuperSU app and tried to run it and it said it wasn't installed so i ran the script again and it installed .

Also if someone please be so kind if I'm rooted and I decide to unroot the phone how would i do that?

Thanks!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ddubs:
Try again. LOL. :D

No, really. I followed all the instructions, checked superSU after reboot and got that message. Didn't make sense, so I ran Root Check also, which was no bueno. No root.

Pushed date forward two days, rebooted phone, and did all the same things over again. Homescreen was super laggy and my apps folder wouldn't show any installed apps which was weird... so I relaunched Nova Launcher, ran Root Check, and lo and behold: worked on the second time. Caveat: the ONE thing I did differently the second time was put the 185_root_script folder on my desktop instead of in my downloads folder. Try that? Good luck...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] hypnero:
Yeah I tried it twice before you said that did the change of date rebooted the phone then ran the script. I had it on my desktop and still doesn't work. I am going to try it again now since I did a factory reset on it and this time run it as admin. Just trying to cover all the bases with this one.
