The 90-120 is referring to the kernal source that is supposed to be released from each build. They legally arent obligated to unlock bootloaders.

I'm not actually having problems with the phone, I just want to exchange for one on 1.85
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
I figured.

Within 30 days out right return it. Go to another store and get another one.

Thanks that what ill probably do as I got mine from Sam's club and it came with this update ...ill try bestbuy plus I do want the white one which they have in stock

I just want to remove that dang HTC linkify crap. :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Someone said that at an AT&T store that some of the boxes had stickers on them and that those had the 2.20 update. I think it was a green sticker. The ones without had 1.85.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eortizr:
the question is... is there any dev actually working on getting 2.20 rooted?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
No. Nobody is working on it at all. Nobody cares. This thread was started to discuss not getting root.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:

That's all I want too. I found some at a Radio Shack with a different sku and rs#. As soon as I hear back from the Office of the President ( I know, funny huh?) I'm gonna try one of those. I will post back what I find.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sschrupp:
Yeah I'm honestly very happy with this phone running completely unaltered from day one. The only issue I've encountered is that sometimes when I go to a certain area of the city I lose all signal and it doesn't come back unless I turn on airplane mode and turn it back off. It's the oddest thing since I've been in the middle of nowhere plenty of times and still gotten SOME sort of signal.

Of course I'll be even happier when the geniuses around here bust this phone wide open. I figured it's got to be just a matter of time.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChefAnt:
the stock firmware was actually the first stock firmware i could actually deal with.

I m new to finding exploits for rooting etc, but am thinking; Is there a way to leverage latest java vulnerability to accomplish our goal?

Or do we need to find holes in linux kernel?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XNine:
Without s-off, there's no way to flash a new hboot. First, s-off has to be achieved because there's no way to update the hboot due to the signatures not matching.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Ohhh!! So this phone is impossible to root with its current hboot!! So its the hboot blocking old root exploits? Fascinating. Explain a little more. Very intriguing!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] omario8484:
I'm too dumb to tell whether if that's sarcasm or not
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XNine:
That we can't flash a hacked hboot without s-off. What are you trying to say? Yes, I know there's gorillas freezing to death in the rainforest.

I have $60 ready to be transfer to whoever root 2.20
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] omario8484:
Their working very hard on finding a way for this in the end money will not be the reason they found it or they found it quicker they're not hiding anything from us as they want root just as much as next person...it is a nice gesture though but I think it is a collaborative effort in finding root (for the most part) I just think they'll find a way sooner or later but nice gesture!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Wow, how do you know that hboot needs a signature?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Wow I've only spent like 80 hours looking for root... But now the there's $60 on the line I'm gonna put another 70-80 hours in it.

hi im going to buy an att htc one x :o so i will try to help in the development of a root method for 2.20, however im quite new with one x and phone development.

just have a few doubts

Why did the method of patching the boot partition and changing cid and then using htcdev bootloader unlock does not work on 2.20? Does the write permission to mmcblk0p4 is now blocked or the patch is not the same anymore?

Thanks hope to get my one x soon :victory:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Writing to P4 to update CID requires root first, always has.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
We never had to patch anything. Simply modified p4 to change the cid then unlocked. P4 is still not signed or wp on 2.20 but you need su privledges to dd p4 and modify it. So once theres root, the rest of the process will be identical as previous firmwares
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] samiam0295:
Just an update for you guys.

I went to a different best buy and *****ed about battery life etc etc whatever works. They gave me a new phone, but unfortunately it looks like any new shipment comes 2.20 out of the box :crying:

I thought I was home free with a new 1.85 phone but the I checked the software page on the way out of the store :(

Oh well, all I can do is wait.

Great work thus far
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Maybe trade with someone on Craigs list. Look for one that's a different color as an excuse.

i was refering to modifying p4 when i said patching, sorry about my english..

thanks for answering so we need at least temp root for first..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mournahan:
has anyone tried the unrevoked to get s-off?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
No, because unrevoked is for root, and it doesn't support this phone

if you are talking about revolutionary, also no, because it doesn't support this phone
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Give it a shot:beer:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] superchilpil:
Unrevoked is what gave my inc s off so its not just for root
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eraste:
Mine to but I am plenty sure HTC has patched all those exploits since. That would be cool tho.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] superchilpil:
Yea I wish as well

But I want true s off, what they offered was a patched hboot that basically faked s off
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Oh. I used unrevoked on my aria with hboot .57, s-off wasn't discovered for the aria till hboot 1.02, unlocked by revolutionary. I just assumed that was the case with the rest.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tylerdurdin:
I would be happy with just root for the 2.20 for now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eraste:
I'd be happy with temp root just so I could push my super cid p4 back lol

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Glaucoma Cat:
Alright, here is a modified version of beaups' exploit. It basically creates a directory within data/local/ and replaces all instances of "/data/local/"with "/data/local/tmp/". All files are successfully pushed and persist after reboot. Let's see if someone smarter and can work out some kinks. http://www.mediafire.com/?47nu1rcnq280h4h
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Wont work here. We don't have permission to write to /data/local
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Glaucoma Cat:
But you can make a directory in /data/local/. I have done it. Try it yourself. "mkdir /data/local/tmp/"
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] superchilpil:
Been discussed, doesn't work

Take it from the man who has put more hours into this to get us root
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GuyIncognito721:
Actually you can't. Try mkdir anything but tmp and you'll get a permission denied.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Not on hox you can't. Unless you have root of course.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RobAndroid:
Could someone explain to a noob like me why su doesn't work even though it still exists in /system/xbin with rwxr-xr-x permissions? I had it rooted before the 2.20 update and Voodoo Rootkeeper didn't appear to work. It detects that the superuser executable is in place but says I'm not rooted. Attempting to restore once says it succeeds but doesn't, second attempt causes the phone to reboot.

Thanks for your patience!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
You need suid permissions. One of those x's needs to be an s....

So what's the status on things here?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ethere:

I found a way to root 2.20,,,,,,,,,,

*Put you phone with 2.20 on Craigslist,

*sell it

*Buy another with 1.85.:p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wesblog:
I bought a phone with 1.85 - don't believe any of the root options work any more. It seemed each time I restored to factory defaults or used the 185 RUU the phone would automatically start downloading the 2.20 update from ATT (no prompt). And the prompt is what the last working root relied on.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
It definitely still works.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eortizr:
It sure works, you just have to keep on trying...

it worked for me,,, thanks beaups
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
If you follow the step by step directions in the manual method op, it'll work. On the first try.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ackliph:
I been at this for hours. It seems you can push the su and busybox to tmp, but how do you put them in the /system/bin/ ???? From what I understand, that's what needs to happen. No?

HERE they use Nautilus to move the files and ta dah, they get root.

I noticed when you go to the stock recovery it mounts for a split second to your computer as a drive. Are there any tools that can manipulate this phone, or any android from the stock recovery? It be awesome if I could just hold the phone in that drive mode and edit the files somehow.

Don't flame me too much. I've never had an Android that didn't have an OneClick root for it, and I WANT ROOT!!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Hmmm I'm wondering if putting the phone in qhsb download mode on purpose then accessing the phone file system from Linux would work. I think something that basic must have been tried already? Beaups?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Writing to the phone in dload mode is rugged at best. I dont see anyway it can help us with rooting. Not without the proper qualcomm software/utilities anyway.

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

Plus, on the 2.2x firmware, there really is no easy way of accessing the mode anymore without pulling the phone apart and using the wire trick pads.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
This. Exploiting the emmc mode PRIOR to qhusb mode could have been a root method.....but the only way to get to that mode is borking hboot (P12)...and the new hboot added write protection to P12.

Actually an easy way would just be to send an updated P4 with SuperCID while in emmc recovery mode. Then do BLunlock and root that way.

Hmm.....need to chew on this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Well for some people, they wouldn't mind doing that.

If an exploit for S-OFF was found, I would rip apart my phone to do so, assuming there are verbatim instructions with video/pictures.

At this point, I'm sure at least 50% of 2.20 users would open their phone for root/s-off. Assuming the tutorial is good to the point where nobody can mess it up (thats a long shot.. Something is bound to go wrong for someone, somewhere.)

my point being. I would open my phone to root it. I almost got an iPhone with my last upgrade instead of the HOX. Luckily it came with 1.85
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Wire trick won't help here.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GuyIncognito721:
Are you referring to a possible root, or S-OFF?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Probably both, but I was referring to root in this context.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] philip1192:
I don't know how feasible this is, but I figure I'll toss it out there for the more experienced among us.

Has anyone considered decompiling the RUU to see how it interfaces with the phone and how it goes about updating it? I've got up in IDA Pro Free and I'm seeing things that look familiar, but I'm not experienced enough to know quite what I'm seeing or what I'd need to look for. Another thought I had was to decompile it and put in the SU files and anything else we need, then recompile it and forge the digital signature. I'm not sure how hard that would be, but I'm just brainstorming right now. Any thoughts?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
The only function of the ruu.exe is to push the rom.zip and info to the device. Thats the "sending" part. Once its all pushed to the device, it takes over and it responsible for all the signature checks and flashing. So essentially the ruu is just a data tranfer program. As far as decompiling the ruu, you can always extract the signed rom.zip and pull the images from it but i wouldnt have the slightest clue how to decompile a system.img and recompile it into a new .img. but even if we could we still would have NO way to resign/forge a digital signature if we dont know the signature(pvt_key) to forge. Very good thots and people chime in on this but its been pretty extensively looked at and it comes down to no signature, no modified ruu.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChefAnt:
I hate myself, I was one of the lucky ones. I got a HOX with 1.85, rooted, unlocked bootloader had it set up how I wanted then some very unkind person stole it. Now I'm probably forced to buy a 2.20 HOX.

I wish I wasnt such a newb and could actually contribute to the solution of this

*facepalm*
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thekalby:
Potential One X buyer here!

Im not trying to rush this, because I know how hard you guys are working, but I was just curious if you guys think this will ever happen? Are any phones ever stuck without root permanently, or is it just a matter of time. Ive also heard some rumors that htcdev may start to support one x at some point or another. If this were true would you need root to use htcdev?

Just wanted to know because I would be fine without root for the first few months but I dont want to commit to buying a phone I will be stuck with for the next 2 years if I cant install custom roms and such.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] samiam0295:
There is currently no root. I have heard a few things about HTCdev support soon from HTC and an AT&T rep (thread in general section of this forum). Even if HTCdev does not support it, Devs will find a root eventually, I certainly hope within a few months. You should have no worries, it is a fantastic phone on a stock ROM anyway :cool:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Megadave123:
Sounds like you might be on to something here....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
True, the emmc write window is very brief but im betting you wouldnt have a problem getting p4 written in that window. Trouble is like you said, its wp, and when we find an exploit to disable that wp then s off will be quickly achieved and most of this will be secondary since we will then be able to flash any unsigned images we want. But there may be other methods to borking the phone into dload mode(besides wire trick which wont help here) and that, if you dont want to work in the s off thread disabling wp, perhaps a new thread focusing on finding a method of getting a 2.2x unrooted, locked hox into dload mode. Shoot, i see 3,4 or 5 bricks go down here a week, perhaps its already happened and we blew right by it and had the guy warranty exchange or whatever.

Point: Good thinking, now find a way to bork your phone and we may have a new unlock exploit:D

or we could just discuss soft bricking the device here as to not add to our threads- root bounty, root thinktank, dev s off and s off bounty threads. Im not sure if im even posting the correct thread as we speak:rolleyes:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] matt_12tall:
Has anyone tried a method to reverse the update process and take us back to 1.85? Kind of like some sbf files to go back to the first version. I dont know if this is possible but I am just trying to think of stuff.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] qwertyaas:
Don't think you can downgrade versions at all which is the problem as well.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Typically, supercid will allow you to go up and down on firmware versions. But when a firmware contains a new hboot there is no downgrading without finding a exploit. Its been done on previous devices, so possible? Absolutely, but it comes down to needing s off or htc's private key to sign files or an unknown exploit . I really think trying to find a way to soft brick the new firmware sounds. real real good. I just dont want somebody to soft brick where we WONT be able to recover it. Hboot was great because the signed_hboot.nb0 is a fairly small file that could successfully be written back to recover from the brick . I know we had brainstormed on this a while back and couldnt really find a way to even soft brick it on paper but this IS the think tank, who knows. Lets keep discussing before anybody tries something drastic tho, as Beaups says "ready, fire, aim" is not productive:D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
One method that should work here is timing a power failure to the device during writing hboot via ruu. This would cause the device to enter emmc recovery mode, which would allow pushing an updated p4 with supercid, or pieces of the system partition. Assuming we run with the p4 method, we could then unlock the bootloader and push root.

So....I think this is our most viable method currently. Issue is timing, boot writes VERY quickly. Also how to reset since we cannot pull battery.......

This is what I think we should be working on.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tylerdurdin:
Maybe we should try and get the mobiletech guys in on this... Maybe we could use the bounty to get them a device to experiment on..... Or possibly Adam Outler..... He cracked the boot loader on the Verizon SGS3.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Adam had a hoxl and moved on after a week or so. As far as a reset, we could snip a micro usb and reverse the power and ground wires. Maybe grab a 20 cent reducer from radio shack to wire it and just do a quick plug, unplug. If its reduced enough it wont cause any harm. Heck just snip a micro usb and twist the positive and negative together and bypass the olug all together
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Adam didn't crack the bootloader on the sgs3 Lol. Nobody has cracked it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
I heard he can shoot lasers out of his eyes!!!! Lol, no. he is a bonified genius but he did not crack the sgs3 bootloader
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] qwertyaas:
Is there a way to have a script run that will auto-restart the phone just as RUU is writing over the hboot? I'm assuming we can't alter the RUU to add a line to 'reboot' right as the hboot writing kicks in. Probably a worthless idea I just threw out there but who knows.

If only this were like Odin where the writing is done from PC to Phone over USB, we could just pull the plug... But as I understad, RUU send the files and all the writing is done on the phone correct? Which makes my above statement useless actually...

Nevermind.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
The ruu.exe still watches over the process of sending and flashing. Im GUESSING the ruu is also executing the commands to the phone. But the phone itself us doing the procedure. Pulling the cable at a very short specific time was discussed not too long ago and im not sure if we went anywere with it. I know lots of people were doing lottery pulls during ruu in the hoxl early days lol, but i know beaups had some ideas and their was a generalized game plan to try but im not sure if we ever sat down and tried it
