[HTC One X] TripNRaVeR:
Well i'm not sure what you are posting here but all the 20 partitions are allready found and known by probably all the devs here. The partitions are set to ro with the force_ro binary placed on the mmcblk0 and mmcblk1 (boot) partitions.

EDIT:

marked ( ) the boot, not only the boot but all the relevant partitions are forced_ro

The force_ro binary can only be found when you set the correct permissions on the boot partitions. Otherwise it says doesnt exist unless you type in the full cat 0 > /sys/..../force_ro command then it says permission denied.

I have several ways to gain rw access to the binary and i can set it disabled. Problem is that it needs to be removed completely for us to have proper acces.

Mounting boot/recovery partitions to the rom cannot be done right now because of the filesystem. I have walked the road you describe allready and my results are in this topic. This method is way to risky to try without having a backup hox available.

I had quite a bunch of success rates when i used my hox with broken screen but since that one is bricked i stopped this s-off development.

The fastboot command doesnt work since hboot 0.96 it is blocked by htc. :good:

I have found the IMEI, CID etc and i could read them just fine directly from the mmcblk0 /1 partitions after setting permissions. Sorry to say this and not trying to offend but this doesnt help us in any way by gaining s-off.

IF i understand the s-off correctly for the QCOM chips, its been done by overwriting cids?? It isnt that hard to gain acces to the CID settings, they are not high level secured...
[HTC One X] scotty1223:
well,not directly. with qualcom chips,the secureflag is turned of by(with my limited understanding):

1) sd card phones- getting the processor into download mode,then booting temporarily from the sd instead of the emmc

2)non-sd card phones- the recent exploit being used on hoxl,hos,and dna is attempting to flash a signed update.zip onto a superCID device. when the flash fails with a 92 supercid error,forcing a boot apparently does so without emmc write protection,wich allows the secureflag to be turned off from the booted OS on that next boot.

so superCID is needed for this recent exploit to work,but its function is somewhat indirect. maybe a similar method to disable write protect is possible with the tegra? ive got a one x,id love to see you figure it out.. mebbe we could pool some donations to get you anoter broken screen/damage device?
[HTC One X] TripNRaVeR:
If you run a sense rom would you mind trying this out:

Add to build.prop:

ro.sdcard=2

Possible that it requires the fuse command also but i cant remember it know, will check when i'm home. If what youre saying is true then i found some stuff. See if something happens. Also anyone knows what GEP means? It is all related to the sdcard hack.

A sense rom, and a sense rom only, is capable of this stuff. Sense actually checks a few modes during bootup (very early) they can be altered but since this is the first time i actually found this stuff (yesterday) i hardly know 5% of the things that can be done.

The fact that you telling me this now made me see (maybe a far) link to my findings from yesterday.
[HTC One X] scotty1223:
sure... i can try that later this evenig.im at work now,ill be home 8-9ish :)
[HTC One X] virtualflyer:
I know I'm not a dev, but I have both a one x and a sense rom, so I've tried this...

Nothing seems to change actually, I can assure you I did everything right.

If you need further tests, or prefer someone else to do it better, say it!
[HTC One X] TripNRaVeR:
My bad, wrong command

Add to build.prop:

ro.sdcard2=

Correct values are 0 and 1

Also add to build.prop

persist.fuse_sdcard=

Correct values are true and false

Some random stuff i found, dont pin me on this, i'm only posting my finds here:

- enc security key is stored on "extra" partition

- enc security key is checked BEFORE all partitions are mounted

- emmc bkops (kernel) seems needed

- sd enc key read failure on boot? phone gets into read only mode

- ro.ril.ruim.carrier=ct

- read_marked looks for security key

- key192 and key256 used (why? i dont know)

Response and results please
[HTC One X] virtualflyer:
R: Goal: S-off HOX+ and maybe the HOX (TEGRA3)

Will do it in a few minutes, in the meantime I'm learning many things on s-off for hox.

Should I try both 1 and 0 and true and false?

And check where for any result?
[HTC One X] TripNRaVeR:
Yes, and just check for od things or if anything will happen.

And a cat > /proc/emmc and cat /proc/mounts on pastebin would be nice

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pidu:
Hi everyone,

I'm using i9100p (originally UK Orange). With stock GB rom NFC was working ok, no problems whatsoever. Wanted to try JB rom and used NFC enabling patch by jthatch12 on both stock XXLSJ and Disaster rom. Followed the steps from relevant thread - mount system, reboot twice to make toggle work and NFC option is available in the settings menu and I can turn it on / off, all working here. What is not working is NFC itself, it does not recognize NFC tags. Tried to use patch on clean roms with no apps installed, at some point wiped cache and dalvik, but still no joy. To make sure it is not phone's fault I flashed back stock rom and as expected got NFC working. Back to JB with patch and NFC is dead.

I have read that patch is working fine for others with both stock JB and Disaster rom, so why not in this case? Any suggestions what could be done to make it work?

Appreciate any help.

Of course I'm still using stock battery marked "NFC".
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bshpmark:
I rooted my S3 a few weeks ago and have noticed that since I did that, upon booting up I will frequently get the message that Android is updating and optimizing my apps. Is this normal? I am still on JB 4.04
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm not sure why it would do that. Which rom are you on? I've only ever seen that when I flashed a kernel or maybe even a failed boot animation flash. Did you edit a system file or your build.prop after rooting and then this started happening or has this only been happening because you rooted? Try either starting completely over with Odin then re-rooting OR flashing a different rom.

Also:

ICS = 4.0.4

JB = 4.1, 4.1.2, and 4.2.1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ajrty33:
Does it do it every time or just when you wipe your cache in recovery?

It's normal if you wipe.

And for goodness sakes please don't Odin. It's overkill and unnecessary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
sounds like you have a app thats setup to clear cache on reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bshpmark:
I will check that. I use cachemate so that may be what is doing it.

[HTC One X] H4Milton:
I too have this same problem, any solution guys?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Its due to the mtp storage, mount the sdcard as a mass storage device in the recovery. Or use a JB rom that supports mass storage like the viper x.
[HTC One X] H4Milton:
looks like I'll have to go for the viper x, cause in my current stock rom flash, there's no option to choose "How to mount my phone" ...

[HTC One X] MXSteel:
Hey

Recently, my HOX has recieved the OTA update for JB.

So, I installed the small update, downloaded JB, and it asked me whether I want to install it now or later.

Now, when I click on the "Install" botton, it reboots my phone right into a recovery menu. So, first, I used the "select zip from sdcard", and found the update in "downloads". However, it at first refused to verfy the update. I found out, after some tries, that verification can be toggled off.

However, it still doesn't update to JB, and when I cick that zip it says there was an error, showing some code which looks like a CID check.

Now, my CID is HTC__ 001, my rom is stock and my bootloader is unlocked. Rooted, as well.

Any advice? Should I maby relock my phone, or try restoring to factory defaults?
[HTC One X] ckpv5:
Which recovery ? Stock or CWM ?

It needs stock recovery for JB update.
[HTC One X] maxilick:
Lock your boot loader!
[HTC One X] BenPope:
No, that's incorrect.

You need to install stock recovery, and you also need stock ROM.
[HTC One X] MXSteel:
The ROM, as I've said, is stock.

As for the recovery... why would it not be stock? I mean, I thought it's quite (extremely) complicated to modify the core Linux-based elements of the phone, which is where the recovery is (in the boot menu)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
What are you talking about ??? If you flashed a custom recovery like twrp or clockworkmod recovery than you have to flash back the stock recovery ! The phone needs to be 100% stock....root is no problem you lose it after the update, and the bootloader can stay unlocked !

You need

Stock rom

Stock boot.img (kernel)

Stock recovery

Then you can update !
[HTC One X] markb63:
bang on the money,i had to flash stock recovery +1
[HTC One X] BenPope:
"select zip from sdcard" is not available on stock recovery.

So I guess it's not stock because you flashed a non stock recovery to root your device.

Here's a complete info 4 u dude !!! Read carefully and think twice b4 Flashing !!

1) Well the best thing that u can try r8 now is that u can get a Jelly Bam Rom here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1996033

( Download the latest version of jelly bam )

2) Than after that google for thor kernel and download it and flash it ( It supports Oc/Uc and also it supports GPU Oc/Uc )

Remember that Overclocking can only be well done on the CM10 builds !! Oc won't work on touchwiz perfectly !!

TO OVERCLOCK TOUCHWIZ ------------

1) Download any JB Touchwiz rom

2) Download Maxfu Kernel from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2053084

But remember JB Touchwiz isn't worth giving a shot yet to be OC'd !!! JB is the best version to experiment with r8 now but ICS version is real stable and perfect for everything ( Gaming ....... Ram usage ........... Battery life ........... Performance ) !!

-------------------------------- BEST OPTION TO DO NOW ------------------------------------

Wait 4 samsung to release JB Source code and official JB ......... Coz definitely after this all JB roms will be stable and Far cry in case of performance considering Ics !!

I did. And the water condensated inside my phone.
