If I remember correctly you made 3 threads asking if it was ok to do ota update and then you did install after a member directly told you it would brick your phone and your response was you was too impatient to read his reply. Everyone knows not to to ota update or possibly run risks , I just feel for the people who got replacement phones that was already updated .

If you had half a godamn brain you would have researched, or at the very least listened and been patient when people gave you advice. There's a damn good reason you keep bricking phones. And guess what, it's you!

i bricked that phone. i didnt know it was supercid and dont be blaming other people. especially if they arent here to defend themselves
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Megadoug13:
In the past, HTC did not have any sort of write protection on the system or CID partitions.

with build 2.20 on this device, they began doing a partial write-protect on system with still no write protect on CID

at this point, it was possible to change your CID (superCID) to use HTC's official unlock website.

this most recent build implements full WP of both system and CID.

so you can't write to the system partition to install su or Superuser, and you can't change your CID to unlock via their website.

the kernel module you keep seeing worked on 2.20 because the implementation of their write protection was incomplete at the time,

but that's no longer the case, so it won't help get around this issue.

at this point, there is nothing anyone can do, unless they have already unlocked their bootloaders previously.

this was after we did tests and got temp root. we tried module mods, pushing to bin, xbin. pushed su and superuser. we cant get anything done on our devices unless it is the bootloader being unlocked. itd be nice to generate our own unlock_code.bin wouldnt it?

Hello Doug,venomtester and others,

i came across a root method for HTC Evo 4g LTE (sprint) version 3.16 and hboot 2.09 which just pretty close version to 3.18 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2026938

I wish i could do more (other than searching forums) but i don't have any idea about programming. I hope this is useful as HTC EVO 4g LTE (SPRINT) is twin brother of HTC one x (ATT)

Thanks,

You need root to get supercid.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sullydog101:
I really thought you needed root to be able to use super CID. The guy in the video doesn't give a good explanation as to how he did super CID without root. I bet he had root before and used supercid then and then took the ota update after. I don't really know though. I haven't actually tried to use supercid but the instructions do say you need root.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Supercid isnt going to happen with a root exploit I don't think. I can't confirm but I'm 99% sure p4 is going to have wp on it just like the DNA. So unlocking the bootloader is going to require a wp exploit. Its much more difficult than it used to be when we had a free gateway to the partition with cid in it.

Here's the scenario how I see it.

Kernel adds wp to /system while booted so it can't be modified

HTC seems to something like a real time protection too which im completely unfamiliar with. But with su binary in place if admin rights are requested device will reboot...su is gone...

You can't change to supercid with root anymore anyways because its on a wp partition, so its not going help with unlocking bootloader via supercid.

Without a unlocked bootloader you can't modify the kernel.....

It really only leaves one option, and that is to find a new exploit to remove the wp. Its shytty but that's what HTC has done.

We basically raped the supercid partition for every exploit that's been released on any of the latest HTC devices, and like every other method of the past it got shut down.

So, disable wp is the only option worth working on if you want these unlocked again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 31ken31:
No you need temp root to spoof the cid then you can unlock the bootloader. Att has htcdev block the att cid
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Linsanity:
so when do you guys think a root method be released?

Yeah. Only if you can get temp root. Which we are working on now
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
The good news here is this.......

One x, DNA and the HTC one are likely all going to be protected in the same way, so you have your devs here, the DNA forum( including beaups & jcase who are working hard) and the HTC one (this will have a lot of devs onboard) all looking for the exploit. It should a pretty good universal exploit.

Just wanted to throw this out there so I didn't seem like a pessimist the the situation:D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
The One is unlockable via htcdev, though, right? That's going to reduce the pressure to find a root exploit.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Linsanity:
Is it possible to downgrade hboot and then downgrade the firmware to 2.20? And then unlock and root from there?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Yes that's possible but everyone's just waiting for 3.18 root anyway for fun.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Linsanity:
Could you provide instructions on how to do that? Or where can I find instructions?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Venomtester:
From what I have read the One and the OneX are rootable via card zip, adb and HTC dev combined. Not sure about carrier. AT&T gets really nasty about making you take their bloatware.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
And the people that bought the developer edition (that's a joke because its identical in every way to the normal version except its boot loader unlocked and sim unlocked. Not sure about s-off) probably wont bother looking for exploits. A lot of Devs may go with the developer phone for less hassle and more ROMs.

Okay so the dev I'm working with was right. He wanted to decompile the DNA exploits and arrange them for the One X.... Maybe he will figure this out

Are you helping or just mirroring comments from another thread?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Megadoug13:
No..? First of all I am good friends with someone who is in the Droid Incredible 4g and he set me up with his friend who developed the root exploit for that phone. I need other devs to come and talk with us. I would like to arrange a team of devs. And where else have you seen what i had just said?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Linsanity:
We appreciate your work and hope you will be able to assemble this team. I think he was talking about people like me who are noobs when it comes to root exploit.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
The latest firmware from the DNA hasn't been rooted or unlocked yet either. HTC Cid's are wp now and it is literally impossible to change.......until you remove wp. Tearing down the previous DNA exploits that have already been very well patched aren't going to help because they will NEVER be able to change cid anymore. It sucks but.......

We had just learned if this. But an xda member just brought up gold cards. Which I havenr heard of since the HTC inspire. He may have an idea here
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Gold cards, if I'm not mistaken, require an sdcard slot? In any case, people looked at this solution in the early days of trying for s-off and concluded it would not work for the One XL.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
HTC doesn't use gold cards. They use signed java cards now that require HTC pvt keys
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Venomtester:
I was talking about using something that has the same effect as a gold card or 7zip to attack the wp from the phones internal sd card. Instead of trying to root it from the outside. Still looking into it. Have had to Jtag twice already lol.

I'm just trying methods used in the past and some used today to see if I can just get a recovery installed. It may never happen but it keeps my ocd in check. Just doing it out of curiosity and learning a lot as I go.

Thinking of trying this. Please give input to any mistakes you might see or any changes in adb commands. Don't laugh because I am trying to learn and to help.

Copy CWM-SuperSU-vo.87.zip to sd on phone.

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblkop4 of=/sdcard/mmcblkop4

exit

exit

adb pull /sdcard/mmcblkop4

Open the mmcblkop4 and change CWS to 1111111

Save modified file named as mmcblkop4MOD

Adb push mmcblkop4MO /sdcard/mmcblkop4MOD

adb shell

su

dd if=/sdcard/mmcbljop4MOD of=/dev/block/mmcblkop4

exit

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-latest-evita.img

Go into recovery on phone if I make it this far and install the CWM zip from sd and reboot.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
From what I see here, there's no exploit, you'll get shut down at su since you have no su permissions. The last exploit (for 2.20) had to use OTA to gain root(i think?), I'm thinking they injected something into the OTA if I'm not mistaken. I'm wondering if we will have to wait for another OTA to do something similar... I never rooted this way since I can unlock bootloader no problem on telus but I'm just speculating...

How are you expecting the CID edit to persist through a reboot without disabling write protection? Ever heard of deep freeze.. Its EXACTLY like that. EXACTLY. You can make any change you want, but the instant you restart that computer, BAM. like it never even happened.

Fastboot or any other commands from adb will be ignored all together. I tried that first. The only issues that i have read about as far as vuln goes is with app permissions. Some of them have been fixed but a few have not.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Megadoug13:
No not true. I was able to use adb and fastboot commands. There used to be a way to glitch write permissions by trying to flash a lower ruu through fastboot. I was able to do the adb and fastboot commands it tried flashing ruu and the out come was no write permissions.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Megadoug13:
But I was also wondering if we can take the ruu and just add in the bin and xbin and su files to the ruu and try flashing it. Probably not but doesn't hurt to ask

I can try it and let you know. Be back tomorrow to let you know how it went. Nothing to it but to do it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Any modification of the ruu, even 1 byte and it kills the sig so it can't run. Also, once you extract the ROM.zip from the ruu, you cannot add xbin to the os because the its in system.img format.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
What about injecting during ruu?

I wish you would have said that before I got it in yaffs. Oh well. No harm lol.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Kinda how a ruu works is....

Ruu.exe holds a ROM.zip. that is the heart of it all. It has the sbl's, recovery.IMG, system.IMG and everything else. The ROM.zip is signed with HTC pvt key. All the ruu.exe does is send the whole ROM.zip to the device. Once the whole package is sent, then bootloader verify the pvt key using HTC crypto-engine. Once its verified it will start updating the device. While updating it also checks individual partitions such as cid partition, hboot etc........

This way of updating devices is extremely solid and their is really NO exploit to be found in the ruu itself as it is signed, end of story....

There HAVE most definitely been great exploits found in the update process;), but as far as modifying, injecting, altering of the ruu or ROM.zip itself cannot be done.
