[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
as far as unlock rokens go, I wouldnt waste your time. I have spent a lot of time with it and have compared many identifier tokens to unlock codes and have never even found 1 similarity between any of them ever. If you go into fastboot and type fastboot oem get_identifier_token, and then do it again and again, hundreds of times, every readout will be 100% different, yet every one will unlock that device you get it from.......

I have an idea that may be able to temporarily help with rooting peoples phones until we find a common exploit that will work for everybody. Im hoping my new hox shows up tomorrow without 2.20 since its a refurb from a 3rd party.. if it does, I have a couple small tests to run and if they work out I may have a temporary solution....will post more tomorrow afternoon

I've tried all sorts of things but unfortunately the *TAMPERED* flag was there when I got it from the previous owner. If I could remove it then I could see if anything I did will cause it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
The reason it says tampered is because you have su binary in the /system/xbin.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Exactly. And you cannot fix then permissions on su binary without root. So only way to remove tampered flag is ruu
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ssconceptz:
So does that mean I can root? If not I'd rather ruu then see if I can get the TAMPERED flag again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Am I understanding that you bought the phone with 2.20 but tampered flag and su in /system/xbin with incorrect permissions?

If so, it looks like the previous owner had rooted on previous version and tried to use rootkeeper type program to keep root through OTA to 2.20. It failed.

Su is useless with incorrect permissions.

so....from hboot run "fastboot getvar cid"

if it is CWS_001 you are screwed until root is found for 2.20
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] usaff22:
I am also TAMPERED LOCKED on my One S, at first I tried to root using the "universal ICS" tool. I restored the backup from the tool, and my phone rebooted multiple times. Then it started normally, and I have Superuser.apk and the su.bin file. The superuser.apk is in /System/app. But the root wasn't working properly, all apps said I wasn't rooted. I got an OTA, in an attempt to get rid of the TAMPERED flag. Superuser is still there so I guess not. I'm not sure how I can get root or rid of the TAMPERED flag, since I don't have a specific RUU for by branded device.

You know this forum is about communities coming together to tackle similar problems?

Maybe they don't have root either? Or maybe he is trying to help us out
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 10ndavis:
It's a shame there isn't a way to edit the ruu to have su without it knowing it had it. Then run back. Or I think I read somewhere about editing the factory reset backup file so when we factory reset we have root. Any chance on that?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
No such thing as a factory reset file. We'll get this tho....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 10ndavis:
Then when you factory reset, how does it know what to restore the phone to? The os has to be stored somewhere...Maybe not?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
I Think he was referring to bin4ry method

If so it has been discussed

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
When your do a factory reset it formats the /data & /cache partitions. Nothing will ever be restored. So if your rooted and have deleted some system apps, they wont get restored at all. Its a common misconception so its good when it gets brought up tho.....keep posting ideas too. Its much appreciated:)

No worries. Just didn't want this thread to go off the rails

I meant to ask earlier... how similar/different is hboot on the HOX vs. Wildfire S? Or is that one of the next-to-impossible questions to answer?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Root-Maniac:
Umm they are WAY different. But the biggest problem is it is a older device and a different chipset so nothing from them will work for us. Our device has the newest chipset MSM8960 and a completely new bread of security on it..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] qwertyaas:
It's still odd to me that HTC stated that every phone released after 9/2011 would be able to be unlocked via HTCDev yet still haven't followed through on that. I just sent them an email regarding their 'policy' and asking when/if it will be unlocked like their policy states it should.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
awaiting to read your canned response.

I bet it goes something like this:

"HTC is committed to listening to users and delivering customer satisfaction. Since announcing our commitment to unlockable bootloaders, HTC has worked to enable our customers to unlock the bootloader on more than 45 devices over the past six months. In some cases, however, restrictions prevent certain devices from participating in our bootloader unlocking program. Rest assured, HTC is committed to assisting developers in unlocking bootloaders for HTC devices and we'll continue to unlock additional devices in the future."

I and several others made BBB complaints against AT&T over this and got nowhere. :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] superchilpil:
Read below
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Bigmiketx:
its not listed because it falls under that all other devices selection. I assume this is because of them using a formatted image after a certain point. thus, one selection for the newer devices lumped together. :good:

and yes, trying to do the bootloader from HTCDev site gives the MID error basically saying AT&T said No, spent a few hours trying to get my phone working before I found this page and realized 2.20 was locked down more than expected.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wlmeng11:
Once the 2.2 update is rooted, you'll be able to modify something to trick them into thinking you have the Rogers Canadian version, which is unlock able.

Now im not a dev but, take how sprint works and how u can flash it to cricket or other carriers is there any possible way to "flash" the att HOX to the rogers? Sorry if this seems stupid to some people but hey im trying.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Go online and purchase a simunlock code. Then u can just plop a rogers simcard in. I think codes are like $5-$10.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 95neon1025:
so im guessing there is still no progress on getting this dang thing rooted?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] l3vi47h4n:
Idea

There was a method used on the Evo 3d back when I had that device that they used to downgrade the HBOOT from 1.50 to 1.40. It involved a version mod then corrupting an RUU update. This would put the phone in a certain broken state that would then be possible to RUU with a lower version. Could this potentially be done here?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
There's progress, but no advancements, yet.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wlmeng11:

Ok..... so when you get_identifier_token it will give you a different answer every single time but they all work. Someone want to pm me an identifier token from a HTC One X that has the SuperCID for testing purposes so that it will send me an actual token rather than an error. I doubt it will work but I just want to mess with it.

Any chance of chainload from the aria thread being able to do anything here?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] superchilpil:
It doesn't "start up"

Its just missing permissions, a gun without a bullet you can say
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nhshah7:
no, this isn't related to root in the security sense. With SuperCID, you're able to get an unlock token that allows you via the HTC dev site to unlock your bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ssconceptz:
sorry couldn't resist, the one x has been sold :(

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TonyBoes:
It's probably a relatively small percentage. Most buyers don't know anything about custom roms. That's why ATT doesn't consider it a big deal to lock things down. It's a win win for them.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wlmeng11:
That's how previous exploits were found.

Ironically, one of the exploits was in one of AT&T's bloatware apps.

Ah so I assume that's all patched now? :silly:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wlmeng11:
All known exploits are patched in 2.20
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Actually the last TWO exploits were in ATT apps.

Apps from market can't help. Must be apps preinstalled to /system/ in order to have the privileges to help us.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shryvone21:
Hmmm options could be Twitter,Facebook, etc? Could we possibly modify one of the preinstalled apps to take away the patches or download a lower version of the app?

---------- Post added at 05:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 AM ----------

Maybe mess with the .odex file(it pushes the app so maybe we can rewrite it to push su or whatever? Useless app would be twitter.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Mister J:
You can't just take a random app and modify it, or else the Atrix and our phones would have root already. The system apps possibly, but you need root permissions in general in order to edit a root app. It's like having a system without sudo installed and the root account is disabled. I honestly don't know how the AT&T apps have been exploited, but I'm guessing it was a mistake on AT&T's fault (allowed it to get set permissions without root probably).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] billydroid:
Okay this might be stupid, but I'm saying it anyway.

The at&t bloat the comes on the phone. It usually needs and update from the market, as it's just a place markers of sorts.

Is possible to exploit that update process and get the su binary in there?

Does this make sense?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shryvone21:
So possibly their is at least one app that we may not that could give us root permission? But most att apps got patched but did they ever say which ones exactly?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jfellon:
Is there any flaws in the stock kernel at all just a thought to trigger any kind of reactions to our favor aka root or temp root perhaps
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shryvone21:
Pretty sure you need permissions to mess around the kernel.. good start process though:)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] billydroid:
Edit: I'm going more specific. Is it impossible to take the "at&t tag scanner" apk pull it apart and repack it with the necessary things for root. Then some how trick update process into install said modified apk, rather than updating from the market?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Nocturnal_50:
side load an earlier version of the exploitable app to overwrite the current (my guess is it will get rejected) if that some how works then all good, if not then we try something else

However, though I haven't personally found an exploit and pioneered rooting a device, I do feel that you aren't giving the devs enough credit. None of the people heading this thread (or any of the devs) are being paid to find an exploit for root on this particular device, or that particular device. If they are the lucky ones and have a job in this feild than they are most likely working on the firmware itself and a broad-spectrum project not for any device specific. And if they don't do this for a living, that means they have other responsibilities and commitments outside of working on android (shocking right?), so this is something they do on the side.

If there is 3rd party apps perhaps we could go to them with our thoughts.

When root finally became available for the Vivid, it was by method of using a small wire to short out two solder points on the board of the phone itself. This was called the juopunutbear wire trick; putting the phone in a factory pre os download state and allowing you to push a cooked file to it. Pretty freaking genius. I wonder if that method could be applied here. It may have already been discussed but I didn't see it in the thread, so I was just bringing the idea up.

Wait, come to think of it, the sdcard played a key role in that exploit. Grr.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GuyIncognito721:
Maybe I'm wasting my time, but I keep playing around using bin4ry's backup/restore method.

When running the script, usually the backup process never starts, and if you check the logcat you will see "D/BackupManagerService( 426): Unable to create agent for com.android.settings"

If you do your own backup on the HOX, then restore the backup and check the logcat, the restore completes successfully without the above error

I was able to get the PERL scripts working and decrypted the fakebackup.ab successfully to tar and was able to look through the contents. However, any backups from our HOX, once decrypted to .tar format, fail to open and give errors saying either bad or corrupt. Have also tried the other backup.ab that someone posted from their phone. Same issue.

I'd like to try creating a backup on our phone and modifying that and re-encrypting to .ab to see if the restore process completes without errors, but without being able to open the .tar to modify it I'm kinda stuck (btw I did try the tarfix script and that did not work either)

These are just some thoughts/observations I've had. Just thought I'd throw them out there if it helps someone else or sparks some ideas. This may be a brick wall solution for us, but who knows.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pololance:

Do you know why the script dies? Have you debugged it or did it spit out any errors?
