It's not that they don't use the "gold card" system anymore, it's that they changed the way how a microSD is consider as a gold card/smart card.

You have to understand how XTC works. XTC is a HTC factory test SIM(or "MAGA SIM", "white card", "smart card", you name it) emulator, that's why when it's with the gold card, you can use S58 system to remove the security lock(S-OFF) as the phone think it's been repairing by a legal repair center. We could make fake gold card by ourselves was because someone reverse engineered the HTC gold card system.

In short, in the old system(before One X, from Dream to Amaze 4G), a gold card alone can:

* Flash any RUU regardless the CID. (As Super CID)

* Use S58 data but with limits. (Can't clear security flag, aka S-OFF)

A white card/factory test SIM + gold card:

* All the things listed above.

* Full S58 functionality. (S-OFF, carrier unlock)

HTC should aware of the existence of XTC for long, but they decided to take action till the One series.

The Java Card is used as the new smart card/gold card system:

* It's a HSM that has extra security against crypto key dumping. (can try side-channel attack tho)

* The PKI private key was generated with card's RNG, so no API to read it out directly.

* With a counter system in it. (Yes it does, just the number is usually 500 or more afaik, don't have one in my hand so can't analysis.)

The counter limited the number of times it can be use to lower the damage if it got stolen, and it can be reset with the correct private key.(which should be different from the main key, much easier to crack if you are good at HSM stuff.) Models w/o a SD slot can use it with OTG cable with microSD reader. All the older white card/gold card/MAGA SIM won't consider as a smart card on newer devices.

In short, in the new system(after Amaze 4G, since One X), a java card/new gold card alone can:

* Flash any RUU regardless the CID. (As Super CID)

* Full S58 functionality. (Incl disabling security flag.)

Here people on XDA always try to achieve S-OFF with the software-solution, while there's a always a market that does the opposite. There's nothing magical. As long as you have a working HTC factory java card and the correct S58 data for that device, you can S-OFF it within secs.

I'm not sure how long this post will stand, as there are many HTC RD's here on XDA and they might have it deleted. They don't like people poking around with their zen thing, such as this or stole their RUUs from their servers. And I doubt they will ever give us the option to S-OFF in anyways, otherwise the CID/carrier lock thing will be pointless, and the market will f*** up.

EDIT - Just confirm it works for Sensation and later.

Thanks for the info! Really! These are things that at least I didn't know.
[HTC One X] xmoo:
This is not 100% correct.

HTC Changed the encryption since the Sensation Series.

The Javacard I had access to, was originally used for the Sensation and now also for the One Series.
[HTC One X] fireblade:
It's always nice to see you here giving us hints but can you please elaborate on your last post?
[HTC One X] ______:
Wasn't sure if the card works for Sensation or not, as I mentioned in the post I haven't got one yet so can't analysis. But since XTC works for Sensation and some newer models, make it clear the old system still applies.

By the way it's not that hard to get the valid Java Card if you don't mind the price. (Should be fun analysing it's structure.)

EDIT - Just confirm it works for Sensation and later.

But only a valid java card won't help us? We need one signed by HTC if I understood everything right...

The guy from gotrust told me that the card on alone won't do anything special, it'll just act like a standard sdcard (I'm talking about the secure MicroSd Javacard). For particular use, you have to build the security application with the SDK that comes together with the Javacard.

I'd still love to know if 2ndboot could be used on the HOX. Remember; with 2ndinit/boot you dont't even need an unlocked bootloader! I talked once with the guy who "ported(?)" 2ndboot to the Motorola Defy. He said the bootloader of the HOX is already unlocked and he wouldn't understand why we still have no solution to flash boot from recovery (if I understood him correctly). I guess it strongly depends on the user group, how far development/hacking for a device gets...

[HTC One X] galaxys2Tav:
From the other Chinese forums that have been posted before, this is along the same lines and one 1 seem to be an exact copy of using an ruu and repacking.

Did anyone actually try that ruu method as stated before? I know we can't get it to repack with HTCs sig but they said the used Andrews kitchen?

EDIT: as with the other website he says he has the Taiwanese version. Has this been proven not to work on our devices? Or did some just say it wouldn't? I can't remember
[HTC One X] jonhyxda:
Hi,

As far as i can read, it tells to extract RUU (1.29.709.12) in this case is the asian version, change the Mainver on android-info.txt to your Mainver.

After that enter in fastboot, and run ARUWizard.exe (to install the rom).

At the end the HOX is on a lower version.

The next part it's weird...

"At this time, you can go to the next HBOOT version is not turned into 0.95, and then found that the S-OFF. . It is amazing. 4.1 can also be re-empathy brush back S-OFF out, however, should not have to change the version it if they do not like. . (Is not no need to change the version has not tested)."

Sorry for the very bad english...

Soo what is holding you back? I'm dying to gain s-off since i cant really work on it myself anymore i need to buy it.

What would it cost per xda member? If cool price then i'm sure i'm going for it. And probably lots of others will to.
[HTC One X] Toichat:
Perhaps pool resources to get one of these to a dev/team with the know-how to duplicate it?

Pretty sure I saw those sim card like devices up for sale, came up in one of the old s-off threads, and I should think the security on this thing would be easier to crack than the phone itself :)

AW: Obtaining HTC One X Diag File to Manage S-OFF!!

It's also important where you would do it, if you'd buy it. I mean the guys on 4pda in Russia do it with exact this card from that chinese guy. The thing is, I would never send my device from Germany to Russia because shipping would cost 60€... Do you think you can do it with some sort of "usb network sharing"? So nobody would've to pay shipping if it comes true :D

And the currency on that page is USD. 1300$ are ~830£ ;) . You'd need at least 19 people buying the s-off service at a minimum price of 40£ to cover the costs. This is quite feasible!

Also I talked with a local repair shop in germany and send them the link. They said they'd consider to buy it, but also said that it's quite expensive. I'll be getting news wether they will buy it or not and tell you.
[HTC One X] Mr_S:
I think I'd rather put in for a device for you trip and let you have a fiddle with it.providing you'd want to of course. A more generic software version to soff would be better than having to have one box and sending a phone across the globe to said box. 2nd hand ones are cheap ish in uk too

[HTC One X] ViktorN:
Nah, I wouldn't really be willing to unlock his bootloader or to S him off. And he wouldn't do it for free obviously.
[HTC One X] crossmission:
I don't get if the card is legit or not from what I read here, if it is why not put up a fund on a recognised dev's account with the money required for a single user to s-off his device through the credits they say it needs and when the quota is met everybody gets their s-off. if it is not met everybody can get their money back. Ok, I know it's not as simple as I make it sound and I'm not even that naive but if something like that were to happen I would even contribute even though I sold my One X (thinking of buying one again). Plus it would be great if you could unlock the One X+ through that method too.

On another note, I remember that S-OFF on other HTCs (Qualcomm chipsets though) happened through short-circuiting the SD card, isn't it possible to take the phone apart do the same to the internal memory flash module? Haven't seen the insides of a one X but I remember some androids that you could swap their internal flash module for another.

The wire trick works on juopunutbear's s-off method for the HTC Sensation (xe) only. Some hardware hacking attempts were made through the pogo pins, but apparently the development kinda stopped. Since then, nobody has really tried hardware hacks on the One series.

[HTC One X] xmoo:
From the filesize, the first DIAG file is the 5.01A-ASP DIAG... NO use... Just does a hardware check and hard reset.

Second file I will check when I get home, the filesize did not match the DIAGs I have.

These files are locked for SuperCID only, and the only way to bypass that is a goldcard/javacard/whitecard or whatever you want to call them.

I don't often post unless it's something I feel the need to, but I found that pretty disrespectful toward someone doing his best for the whole of the community and has been for quite some time now.

@Xmoo, would be great if you could check the other file. I have been monitoring everything S-Off related and this thread does serve a purpose in that it's trying to aquire the clean Diag needed without the need for you to leak your source. Cheers

Would be no use. As I said... these DIAG only do hardware check and HR...

[HTC One X] sabret00the:
Disrespectful for asking a question? You're having a bubble bath. In terms of progress, there's arguably none. For the last however many days all I've seen is XMoo saying "wrong file". There is a happy medium between protecting a source and providing data. i.e. What size is the correct diagnosis file? Based on a diff, how are the files different? etc, etc. There's no information in here, whatsoever where as there actually could be.

I imagine xmoo is loathed to help individuals who keep *****ing about him. Everyone on here is human being first, developer second. And anyway, it's up to him what he shares. If he feels uncomfortable sharing information about something that was given to him in confidence, then tough. He is working hard on a software solution and until we have that there isn't really, imo, that much point having s-off because there isn't going to be a great deal developed that requires it. Completely OR, I know, but I don't think your post is helping anybody either. If you want something, ask politely. If you can't do that, shut up.

Odp: Obtaining HTC One X Diag File to Manage S-OFF!!

Quote from androidpolice:

So, you want S-Off on your One X/L, or Droid DNA? Done and done. Thanks to a crafty new "hack" by jcase and beaups, S-Off can easily be yours. As always, however there are a few pre-requisites, as well as some caveats to be aware of.

Firstly, you must have working adb and fastboot. If you don't know what that is, a quick Google search can answer it, and tell you how to get it. Your device must also be rooted and have SuperCID, no exceptions. This is requisite.

So it seems that s-off is possible but supercid is needed.
