I really gonna spend most of my time stalking this discussion! I've been wanting to root so badly and at&t made the HTC one xl bad because android is open source not closed sourced! I really wanna try project butter because I'm pretty sure its melts faster and smoother on biscuits then 2.20>:)

He's hitting the nail where the glass is strongest. Most shatters happen on corner impacts with most of the force being directed through side, vibrating through the full depth of the glass. I with what he's doing, it's just dissipating and reflecting most of the force out. Just glancing blows really.

Just got a new in box One X off craigslist for a sweet deal, but letting go of my GSII that's a year old now was hard cause it was perfect for me. I desperately want to root and flash a custom ROM, my Galaxy SII was rooted with AKOP 4.1.1 and I am missing my root and custom rom A LOT! :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nhshah7:
Oh man!! That's not good. Do you need a new phone? I would not mind pitching in a few bucks to help you get this fixed or get a new one. You are one dedicated man!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheEmpyre:
Might as well tap the bounty fund if he thinks he was close to getting the root?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bdjam2:
I will add to the bounty. I really want my One X rooted already.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jatipton:
I am willing to pitch in as well if you feel you were close. I too want root... bad!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheEmpyre:
Before anyone answers this question I'll preface it by saying I know nothing about obtaining root access to devices..

But would creating an Android application that is able to write system files out of the question? I mean, when you install an app doesn't it have access to system files? I have no idea about the logistics of this or if its even an option -- could someone answer why this wouldn't work?

Someone should set up a poll to see if every one agrees to let 18 tap into the funds.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Root-Maniac:
+1 18th deserves it! I know this guy pretty good aside from xda. He definitely deserves some love from the community and another chance to find an exploit. I say he deserves enough funds to get his hox repaired etc.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] matt_12tall:
If we let him tap into the funds and he ends up getting root with the new one x repaired that he gets, he will be recieving the bounty anyways so why not let him try. The more money he gets the closer we get to root.

+1 let him get that money.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] usaff22:
Agreed, let him get at least some of it if not all. It's quite devastating to get your device damaged severely.

Hate to be the ass here but what if someone else gets it or he doesn't get it after replacing his phone and then we have no bounty and no one will bother trying. I haven't donated yet as I have had my HOX for 3 days but just pointing out the opposing arguments
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] qwertyaas:
There are no 'funds' to tap into. Anyone is welcome to donate to him.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GuyIncognito721:
I would love to hear from 18th about his plan of attack, status of said plan, and chances of success before any money gets thrown his way. No offense.

Plus, unless there's more damage than we know, having a cracked screen should not impede any development. It just a busted screen.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheEmpyre:
Is there a way you can port the screen to an external monitor? Like HDMI out or something?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GuyIncognito721:
I'm just saying a "shattered" screen is still usually completely functional, minus the fact that it's cracked all over. Usually touch and everything else still works. Based on 18th's lack of updates, I'm assuming his phone is still running fine and he's still plugging away at it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nhshah7:
agreed. Let's suspend all talk of donations and dipping into a fund that doesn't exist until we hear from the man himself. Didn't mean to start something so off topic. Let's leave this for REAL work.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Thanks everyone for the more than generous ideas:) You guys are awesome.....I cant really accept any donations but again thank you for even thinking of such a thing :) I should be up n running in a few days of so and will continue working on it...... Also, beaups has spent more time than anyone by far on this and he is still currently spending lots of time on it. In the meantime I have the phone completely disassembled, plugged in and playing with hardware ideas until I get back on track, so im still going to be here working in the background and will let you guys know if anything neat is figured out. THANKS AGAIN GUYS!!!!!

Im getting qshusb mode with it all the way disassembled and playiung with some points on the motherboard to see if I can find any reactions (good reactions:)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Looks like we should not write this method off, especially with recent updates

There very well could be an opportunity. Unfortunately I am without HOX for a few more days, but you guys should definitely be spending time on this. I know I will!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] billydroid:
If you need some one to test anything. I'm within my 30days and not an idiot.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Need you to try it first....alll modes....it actually would be much better to try on a rooted device (unlocked BL and rooted through CWM like my HOX). See if we get a local.prop created and if not, try to identify where it's failing (does folder for symlink get created, etc.).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GuyIncognito721:
Running the backup never creates the 'a' folder in com.android.settings and thus files 00-99 in it, resulting in a sym link never happening, no local.prop ever created.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Root-Maniac:
Told you guys he deserves some major credit along with beaups!! Keep up the hard work guys. Sorry school/ work has taken over my life so I'm unable to help anymore... :'-(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] billydroid:
I got mine on 2.20. I'll try them and see what, if anything happens
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
I'm wondering what the "timing attack" comment means. Meaning is the folder created a and deleted so quickly that we just don't see it? Again, thinking out loud here since I cannot test.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
a logcat of the fail, or using Linux with a strace could once again shed some light here possibly
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
I don't understand half of what beaups and some of the others here discuss but I have been followin this thread because I own a one x and bin4ry's thread because it happens to be in a forum that I oversee and this was a comment he made recently. I'm sure others here will understand it better than I but it does not sound promising for us.

Well looks like we may have to wait until the 4.1.1 update hits and see what holes can be found. I know we have some people in XDA that can do this, but they are either occupied with other devices or just not interested. I just got the One X and feel screwed by HTC/AT&T so I may just get rid of this device. Being able to modify my device is what makes Android Android, if I wanted to be stuck on some crappy software I'd go back to an iPhone.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tylerdurdin:
Not to mention the 2.20 software is hardly crappy. I agree being able to flash roms and customize is nice but I am actually enjoying this a lot. The Notification Toggle app has given me my sanity, as I DEFINITELY need toggles in the dropdown and Its pretty customizable as far as colors and icons..... Nova Prime is super smooth.... Sure I have a bunch of apps I cant use but I don't use a device long enough to feel I am losing anything. I am staying with this phone though for the foreseeable future, root or not. I have plenty of stuff to mess with if I get bored.

Drink much tonight? :beer: :beer::beer::beer:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
LOL, I too had much!

What we could try is a sh script restoring the backup from /data/local/tmp after chmod the script, all the files and throwing a strace with them so we can see what its doing...I would love to see the outcome from the strace if nothing else, but it could give the .ab exploit the permission it needs to atleast symlink .prop for temp root:rolleyes:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Don't think we can strace any restore operation on device as it's happening in a daemon which we cannot directly call.

I still think there's hope with backup/restore...if not the exploit that's been discussed, possibly another method. Will play around with it this weekend.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RobAndroid:
Would a Java exploit be possible?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Android.Junkii:
...quoted from page .."when exploited would allow an attacker to use a malicious Java applet to install programs, or read and change data on the system with the privileges of the current user." we dont need the privs of current user...i think we need priv escalation. we need su/sudo/root/admin!!!! :confused:

sidenote...i maybe overlooking something though... you might be talking about a JAVA-exploit in general.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iceman99393:
The og evo at one point wad exploited by going to the flash games website and you clicked on a game and then it somehow pushed whatever files necessary using a one click root kinda program. So maybe there is an exploit in flash player?

Also has anyone looked into the LG optimus 4x root? They installed a system backup apk and then gained root through that. Interestingly they used the one x root kit but I'd imagine its international one x...idk worth a Shot?

Awesome! The excitement is growing! :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RobAndroid:
True, I overlooked the fact that it said current user, but perhaps there's also a way to get privilege escalation.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Mister J:
I'm up to date on exploits since I like that kind of stuff, and there isn't any exploits that work for us right now that escalates privileges. I use Gentoo, and many exploits that work on GNU/Linux can be transferred to Android/Linux. I'll keep my eyes open, but java and flash are the main ones that are always being exploited on all platforms. Personally, I'm hoping for a flash one since all we would have to do is download an exploitable version of flash, then have someone set up an exploit site that we can go to on our phones.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Not sure a flash exlploit will help if flash isn't preinstalled as a system app and running with escalated privileges.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Ya, I'm pretty sure you need root to sideload flash and have it incorporate correctly. I know it only worked on the s3 from /system/app and wouldn't from /data/app
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] billydroid:
I know beaups said this might not be viable. But I'll be home in about two hours if you think it's worth giving a shot.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Right. And if we had permission to write to /system/app wed have root already :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheEmpyre:
There any way to install older version of flash with known exploit?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Not to /system/app. Unless you have root ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Mister J:
Ahhh whoops! I wasn't thinking clearly about the the difference between the usr and root apps, how stupid of me lol! But if an exploit comes out for flash that elevates privileges, we should check to see if it works for the last version of flash that we have for android.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] metroidnemesis13:
What are we going to exploit for future roots when flash dies? This will be a problem. Trusty Adobe with all your security flaws..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tylerdurdin:
Is there anyway to use this new keyboard security flaw to our advantage? I realize that all that a malicious site can really do is reset your phone... But question its methods of doing it?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GuyIncognito721:
No. All it does is allow remote execution of certain routines e.g. reset phone or display imei. Since there is no 'root this phone' routine, this exploit means nothing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] metroidnemesis13:
Can we get in using the default Android document viewer like these guys did? I don't know if Sense even uses the same program.

http://www.zdnet.com/exploit-beamed-via-nfc-to-hack-samsung-galaxy-s3-android-4-0-4-7000004510/

Looks like NFC tech has some issues too.

"Once the file opened, the team exploited a zero-day flaw in the document viewer to launch a code execution attack. A second Android privilege escalation vulnerability, also zero-day, was then used to get full rights on the device."

Might be able to get the same privilege escalation hack working.

Another question, what actually happens when you try the OneClick SuperCID Tool on 2.20? Does nothing happen? Does it fail? Does it brick you? Has anyone asked the dev to attempt to update it?

Also I believe my SuperCID is changed to the 111111111 or whatever, how do I confirm or check this?

If it is, am I screwed without my token?

I honestly believe the 4.1.1 update we will get will be hacked on first release before HTC patches it due to a loop hole.

without root the script wont be able to enter a root shell to dd the mmcblk0p4 partition. so its just a fail.

get your cid.....boot to bootloader enter

fastboot getvar cid

or

fastboot oem readcid
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ssconceptz:
Thanks for the reply, I will def so that but if it checks out. What good is it to me?

BTW phone doesn't say just locked it says TAMPERED

LOCKED

Which to me says it is locked (s-on) but tampered as in has been rooted before. Is this a correct assumption?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
If you have supercid (11111111) in fastboot type

fastboot oem get_identifier_token

go to htcdev bootloader unlocking, select all other supported devices in the device selection, go to step 9 and paste the readout or get_identifier_token submit, theyll email you a working token.

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

i would do two things......1 if you have used and root exploits for testing pin down the ones youve tried and post them.....2 download supersu from market and open it and see if it locates su binary.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ssconceptz:
Unfortunately I get this error:

We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.

Error Code: 160.

Error Reason: MID Not Allowed.

Assuming my SuperCID is not 11111111, I did not check yet but if it was it shouldve went through. But I still dont' see how my device could say *TAMPERED*

BTW No Super User can't locate binary.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
so you do not have supercid, but you have done something to set the tampered flag, which means something(anything) has been altered in the system files......Have you been trying out misc root methods from around the web??? if so, list which ones you have been trying or anything you have done that could even possibly alter a system file........ you could have a good lead for us if you can provide that info.
