hi guys, looking to flash my stock Telstra One XL with CM11.

are the steps in this guide still valid or are CM's steps better?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
What are your current bootloader details?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dajackal123:
EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.15.0000

RADIO-1.38a.32.45.24

OpenDSP-v33.1.0.45.1128

eMMC-boot

should I use rumrunner s-off, install TWRP recovery, and then flash CM per the CM wiki?

do i need to update my firmware?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Your firmware is fine as it is. Here's what you need to do:

1. Unlock your bootloader at htcdev.

2. Install the latest TWRP recovery.

2B. Make a backup.

3. Install Kickdroid 5.0 ROM (this is only temporary).

4. Get s-off via Rumrunner.

5. Flash whatever you like.

I have detailed instructions in my guide thread.

With Sense and CM10.1 on the Evo 3D, I could read texts or at least see who texts were from without going into the messaging app. With Touchwiz on the S4, the dropdown notification just says that there's a new message. Since expandable notifications are a big part of JB, why doesn't the messaging app use them? Is there any way I can change this behavior without rooting or installing another ROM yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] carnivalrejectq:
Download another messaging app such as handcent or go sms?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nemesis93:
1. Go to the messaging app.

2. In the main part of the app (not inside individual thread) tap settings button.

3. Scroll down and look for the "Preview Message" and check that option.

4. Multiple messages can be previewed by sliding down with two fingers on the message notfication.

5. Hit thanks if this helped :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Inline:
This.

It's a feature some people use because they don't want their messages being shown the second they get them for privacy in case anyone is looking at their phone. Be sure to peek around in the settings.

Much appreciated
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RoyalKrow:
Hello, sorry for my bad english my native language is spanish so...

**Well my trouble is that i haven't understood all the instructions so i've messed up my MK16a, & i've installed the Rom & patch for Pro of PURENESS (b11) -> WHITOUT doing the apropiated kernell instalation D: now my phone starts and displays "Sony Ericcson" logo & then the screen gets black but it still on.

Now, i've already tryed using SEUS, PCcompanion, Flashtools to recover it. nothing works because it "doesnt recognize the USB device"

I went throught gordon's gate & even tryed to put in manually the missing driver (SEMC.dll)

I dont know what else can i do... ill never try to set a rom in it if i can fix my phone T^T

PS: ive tryed to do all the above in my brother's laptop too .-. i think my phone wants to stay dead :(

Tank you for reading :cyclops:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mnishamk:
Try flashing the stick ftf using flashtool.

Or if your bootloader is unlocked try flashing the kernel needed and reboot.

Regards

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RoyalKrow:
As i said Flashtools dont recognize it due to the SEMC driver :( i guess its the 1st step to fix the phone still i dont know how
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ManthanRB:
install drivers located in flashtool directory :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] LJegenda:
try reinstalling sony pc companion for drivers :) or fixing it from there (there is a guide on youtube)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] outoflock377:
There is an official Sony guide how to unlock a bootloader. There you can get information how to make flashtool work when your phone is connected via fastboot, because it won't work with any drivers, you need to install them manually.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ManthanRB:
Update your PC companion if needed or reinstall it..

open flashtool..

turn off your phone & put if in a flash mode. . .

than let your pc install drivers itself

now flash it using flashtool
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmm......

1.disconnect your phone from your pc and turn your phone off...

2.open flashtool....

3.click on the flash icon and select flashmode....

4.select stock rom (ttf) that you want to flash....

5.at wipe section tick all option, at exclude section untick all and untick no final verifications....

6.once you have selected which ttf you wanna flash click "ok"...

7.let flashtool prepare all the necessary files first....

8.a popup will appear asking you to connect your phone in flashmode....

9.it will show to connect it while holding back button (ignore it, connect it while holding volume down)

10.if you done it right the flashing will begin....

that is the proper way to flash ttf using flashtool...never connected your phone before step 8....if you do then you will have error while flashing...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RoyalKrow:
---PCcompanion ask me access to the SD card lol it doesn't even go further than SE logo so can t use it

---I've already reinstalled PCcompanion drivers still missing or something

---I've installed manually ggsemc.dll at system folder .-. nothing

---Pressing vol. down dont do anything at my phone I'm able to get it flasmode but Not fastboot (menu key)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mnishamk:
For our pfones fatboot is vol up

And flashboot is vol down.

Also you need flashboot not fastboot for flashing ftf

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RoyalKrow:
At the device manager i found the semc usb whit a warning. I've looked at God Ggoogle for an answer & found gordon'sgate but it doesnt work at Windows8 so i manually put the DLL into the System folder... nothing

im thinking seriouslly about taking my phone to the service store now....even if i have to pay x,X

PS. i tryed to post an image to make it clearer but i dont have 10 posts yet xD
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] castangel:
try instal driver in c:flashtool\driver\flashtool-driver.exe

Tick sony ericsron driver

Open flash tool - help - check driver

If detect, try use seus. Give a minute turn off before connect usb to phone
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RoyalKrow:
I'uninstalled and reinstalled PCcompanion SEUS ggsemc.dll & flashtool like 4 times each... and i do install flashtools drivers each time (did it again just in case .-.)

Ok, i've taken my SExPeriaPro to service & after 2hours of horrible wait they just gave me a sheet of paper saying "UNREPAIRABLE DUE TO SW INTERVENTION via CSE" holy s*** -.- and that was my last hope now i have a luxurious 5k pesos rock :D
[Networking] jpfrost:
Can I do this if I am away from the office. If so, can anyone give me some pointers?

Thanks.
[Networking] Carlos:
The only way I know to do this is via a VPN. If you don't know what that means, then it's probably not worth it for you to learn how to set one up and buy the equipment.

If you already have VPN access then all you have to do is have your computer and the PPC access the same VPN, run AS on the PPC, and tap the sync button.

I've heard it is also possible to do with a hosts file and inbound port redirection on your firewall, but I've never tried it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] myusernam3:
GO HERE AFTER CAREFULLY FOLLOWING THIS PROCEDURE TO INSTALL ROMS, S-OFF, ETC.

Root on the ATT 3.18 firmware for HTC One XL and SuperCID. Linux only for now due to laziness.

Here ya go, just extract and run pwn.sh. This automated method is untested, however I have done it manually to my own phone last night.

Just to clarify, this is a temp root which sets your CID to SuperCID allowing a bootloader unlock via HTCDev. It does NOT install Superuser or anything of that sort.

I'm not responsible for bricks, warranty voiding, etc. and please let me know if this works or if I need to tweak some things. It SHOULD handle everything automatically.

Thanks to Dan Rosenberg for Motochopper, which I modified very slightly for use in this script.

Thanks also to the people who paid the bounty. You guys are awesome and probably just bought me something nice. Not sure what yet :P

One more thanks to Daft Punk for providing some decent music to listen to while I worked on this. I was up all night to get lucky xD

A backup of mmcblk0p4 is made in /sdcard/backup.cid. You can run /data/local/tmp/xpwn manually and restore this backup should things go wrong.

dd if=/sdcard/backup.cid of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

This script is sponsored, created, and fueled by absolute hatred of AT&T. Enjoy your HTC Dev unlock!

UPDATE: There is now a Windows auto-pwn script available, thanks to Megadoug13.

You can get it from HERE

I am unable to test or really work with this because I have no Windows box, so contact Megadoug13 if it doesn't work.

The instructions I received with this package are as follows:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ImagioX1:
Well well that's sooner than I thought. Good job man. Now to see if other users report success with this.

Sent from Xparent Red using my Venomized Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] myusernam3:
Thank you. As I said, though, I have no clue if the automated method works due to not having a test dummy.

If you need to do it manually, the two scripts "pwn.sh" and "ownage" have everything you need to do in them. Just read them.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
I'll see if I can talk the wife into letting me try it on hers. Awesome job man. Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ImagioX1:
I'm on hboot 1.09 soff already so no need for me to test. If yall don't mind me making a suggestion I would suggest you pm venomtester and ask him to try your script. He has a riff box and can jtag the phones in case of a brick.

Sent from Xparent Red using my Venomized Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] myusernam3:
Shot him a PM, we'll see what happens.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nhshah7:
Subscribed and will test this once my phone is charged.

EDIT: Windows Manual method added from this post
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] myusernam3:
Best of luck. I'd be happy to take any feedback and if it doesn't work I will resolve it.

If you have TeamViewer or similar we could also walk through doing the whole process manually (5 minutes or so)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PeshZgamE:
I am down to try it here in a few. I'll get my linux machine going tonight and post back.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nhshah7:
Just took a look at the download, do you have a windows script I can use? Or could you provide me with the commands? Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] myusernam3:
Read the shell script pwn.sh, it has all the commands in it. You can open it in Wordpad (Notepad eats the line endings).

adb push oneXchopper /data/local/tmp/xpwn

adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox

adb push ownage /data/local/tmp/phase1.sh # Yes, it needs to be named this, That's what oneXchopper executes instead of copying su.apk.

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/xpwn /data/local/tmp/busybox

adb shell ln -s /data/local/tmp/busybox /data/local/tmp/sed

adb shell "/data/local/tmp/xpwn"

adb reboot bootloader # Your CID should now be 11111111

EDIT: Oh f***, I left out a quotation mark in the script that's run on the phone.

Edit that before you push it! The line starting with "./sed" should be

./sed 's/CWS__001/11111111/' /data/local/tmp/cid > /data/local/tmp/newcid
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Good work!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] myusernam3:
Not good work. The .tar.gz that was up a second ago might break stuff. The new one should be fine though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
I meant finding a way to edit CID. :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] myusernam3:
Well, thanks for the compliment. May as well post this cheap, lame way I did it in the thread for people who'd prefer to do it manually.

This is to be run on your HOXL after pushing Busybox and oneXchopper, and obtaining root.

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/data/local/tmp/cid

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/backup.cid

./sed 's/CWS__001/11111111/' /data/local/tmp/cid > /data/local/tmp/newcid

dd if=/data/local/tmp/newcid of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

Do I have the balls? Been drinking but hopefully I don't turn the phone into slingshot ammo. Lemme find my laptop.....

-Sugardaddy
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] myusernam3:
I'm not entirely sure what happens if you manage to corrupt mmcblk0p4, but a backup is made during the CID changing process.

If the phone still boots after that, there's still hope.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Arrow44:
If this screws up I am SOL because I just got a refurbished one from AT&T
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] myusernam3:
If you'd prefer (and if you can trust me with TeamViewer or a similar program) I can try and do it manually, just to make sure nothing goes wrong.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Arrow44:
Well Im in Backtrack right now and if what you say is correct all i should do is run the script?

Hm not sure what the issue is just yet. Did you try this a couple of times? My first instinct is for you to reboot your phone and try again. If that doesn't work try a factory reset and try again after that. I'll see if I can find out more about the error but since I don't have that, I'm not sure how lucky I'll be :-\
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JoeJags:
Okay thanks. Yes several times, I tried rebooting the phone, computer, etc. Even tried the windows script and got the same thing. Haven't tried a factory reset. Will try this weekend, when I get a chance......

Thanks again.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nhshah7:
Are people that are getting this error all having adb server killed and starting again each line? If so,

At the line adb shell chmod, change that to adb shell (enter). This should lead you to a shell with a $ cursor. Then type in chmod blah blah blah (enter) then the next Ln command (enter) then the last command (enter). I think this might fix it! Also, are you using the android SDK or the adb file provided in the zip file?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] threetwentyfizzle:
Can someone walk me thru the adb exploit, step by step using the download from the OP? Sorry, I spent all last night trying to use the windows script and it was a no go, it wouldnt change my cid to all 1's.

Again my phone has hboot 2.14, not sure if that makes a difference since this is for 3.18... Thanks guys, just wanna get rooted on my one x again :thumbup:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nhshah7:
I think everyone's hboot is 2.14. 3.18 is the software version.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] threetwentyfizzle:
Ohhhh. This makes me even more confident! But still, how do I run this exploit? The windows script is not working for me and if I can just figure out how to enter the adb commands I think I'll be set
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nhshah7:
Well each line is one line of code. You enter it into a command prompt Window navigated to the folder you have the files downloaded to. I can send you more detailed instructions in a bit.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] c5satellite2:
Used this last night to change CID. Used windows 7 64, newest android sdk, and running the commands manually. Worked perfectly.

Unlocked on HTC dev, flashed twrp 2.3.3.1, installed viperXL, then got s-off. Flawless. Thanks for the CID hack for 3.18!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] threetwentyfizzle:
Ok please do! So open command prompt, then CD to the downloaded folder, then the command lines?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nhshah7:
yes. if that doesn't work, then follow the directions I'm about to post.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] threetwentyfizzle:
One thing tho, I'm not sure if I have android SDK installed on my pc, not too sure what that is tbh
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] threetwentyfizzle:
Hey thank you so much! This alleviates a lot of confusion for me! Ok so I just need SDK and I will try this tonight. Thank you so much for all of your help!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] threetwentyfizzle:
Ok, so I have another question regarding the command lines entered in the adb shell. So,

(within ADB shell)

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/xpwn /data/local/tmp/busybox

ln -s /data/local/tmp/busybox /data/local/tmp/sed

/data/local/tmp/xpwn

is that command entered as,

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/xpwn /data/local/tmp/busybox

(enter)

ln -s /data/local/tmp/busybox /data/local/tmp/sed

(enter)

/data/local/tmp/xpwn

or, is it entered as

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/xpwn /data/local/tmp/busybox ln -s /data/local/tmp/busybox /data/local/tmp/sed/data/local/tmp/xpwn

(enter)

sorry for all the questions, I am just getting errors saying the directory doesnt exist, and I have followed every instruction to the "T".

Also, the command script in the OP is slightly different,

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/xpwn /data/local/tmp/busybox

adb shell

(within ADB shell)

ln -s /data/local/tmp/busybox /data/local/tmp/sed

/data/local/tmp/xpwn

Am I supposed to enter that first line before the adb shell command or after?

Thanks:)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] spacely8:
Ok so after many, many, many hours of just plain reading and about only 10 min of actually work (lawl) I actually got to unlock the bootloader. Thank you so much for this. I went to the AT&T store thinking they would know if you can revert to a previous Android version (so I can do the previous root version) and obviously they didn't know. Idk why you guys don't work at these stores instead of the retards they hire.

I was having trouble following the manual guide for windows, even though it is very detailed and helpful, so I just did the auto newb version and it worked. If there are any other newbs out there that need help with getting the phone connected, bootloader questions, and stuff like that I can help because I've spent a good 18 hours on this.

Also probably a newbish newb question but do you have to use the TWRP linked here (or TWRP in general) for the custom recovery? Or will any of them work? Right now I'm in the process of doing this and also trying to install Cyanogenmod as well.

Thank you again. I will try and donate if possible because I know this took a lot of work and time (Seeing as it took me 18 hours just how to figure out to unlock bootloader lol)

I believe you enter this line by line, pressing enter after every key and you enter it after the adb shell command. I however didn't get it to work this way and did it the easy way posted in the beginning of the thread (if you have windows). It's really simple as you just plug your phone in and click on the "ONLY ONE X" batch file, and can pick up the rest of the directions from nhshah7
