You might be stuck in the same situation that at&t users were in after taking the 3.18 update. Basically the system partition is read only, so temp root was needed to get SuperCID in order to unlock their bootloader. The only difference being that you can unlock your bootloader just fine but can't get SuperCID in order to get s-off. I'm not sure on this, just spitballing ideas.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] st3wy:
sounds about right, i did read about this. so im guessing because i used temp root to spoof cid and unlock bootloader using the unlock code from that process, that there is no way to 'officially' relock the bootloader, and start the whole process again using a different method, say for instance using adb.. and thus getting bootlocker unlocked without spoofed cid and temp root possibly resulting in the ability to obtain supercid and full root? i have got supersu flashed through recovery.. but yeah obviously having serious issues with supercid atm.. thanks so much for your help this far man came a long way this arvo, just cant see the light at the ed of the tunnel... its like if i was able to flash Hboot i may be able to get around, but that requires s-off, which reuires super cid, which requires different Hboot lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] st3wy:
you wouldnt happen to know anyone else that might be able to brainstorm on this would you? although from looking at the threads youve made, it seems your possibly THE most educated person on this matter... idk might just have to wait for a dev to look into this and find a loophole. im not that good unfortunately. again, thanks for your help man. if you do get any ideas dont hesitate to post em up on this thread. cheers.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I'm definitely not the most educated person in this kinda stuff, I just read a lot on here and remember the ins and outs of this device. Finding a loophole around this is something that the HTC experts would have to work on, people like beaups, jcase, those kinda guys. Like I said though I'm not even sure if what I said is what's stopping you, I could be completely wrong.

well, ive had one thaught that might be a stupid one but possibly one of the only things i am yet to try.. if i go through with the s-off and see if it works, although my phone is reading cid it may actually have supercid because like i say, its been successful in adb just hasnt returned a supercid through the fastboot commands, i guess the only question is will i brick my device if i follow through with s-off when i dont have supercid or will it just fail and all will be gravy
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] st3wy:
is there anyway to get them in on this thread so they know where im up to, or would i have to PM them exclusively and explain all over again
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] st3wy:
btw i think your right, system is read only. thats why the pushes arent working, even though they say they are in adb, either that or the phones cid and the RUU's cid are different and fastboot oem readcid is reading softwares cid and not the phones cid?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] st3wy:
either way im going to drink a beer and go outside for a while, thanks again timmaaa, i didnt expect anyone to reply to this thread for a good while. like i said if u happen to have contact with the devs or anyone else that might be able to help, id be stoked. cheers bro and peace out!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You can try SuperCID but it just won't work. You can try contacting them and pointing them to this thread, but I think they're pretty busy guys so I don't know if they'll be able to help. The CID that shows up when using the fastboot command is definitely the phone CID and not the software CID.

I'll post links here for anyone stuck in the same predicament
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
your issue it that partition is write protected in recent firmware updates. you can downgrade hboot via emmc/brick mode (maybe) and then downgrade full firmware. you need downgraded sbl2 as that write protection issue is NOT an hboot issue.

Or you can link me to full RUU for your software version and I'll look at adding support for that in moonshine.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
New Telstra ruus for Evita are not available. Best we can do is old ruu + all ota's that get it to current.

It is rather easy to get you the full firmware.zip for 3.17 that shipped hboot 2.14, and the partial firmware.zip for 5.06 that shipped 2.15 plus the sbl2 update.

For the op after hboot downgrade you should be able to lower your ROM version with hex edit. Then run the old Telstra ruu, which will get you to the old hboot and sbl2.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Thanks heaps for chiming in on this beaups, I had a feeling it was because of the write protection but I wasn't sure because my knowledge level is still kinda low. The JET should be able to downgrade via emmc/brick mode, as stated by twistedddx.

Unfortunately we don't have an RUU for this software version, it's only OTA at this stage. Are you working on Moonshine for our device?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
the problem with JET (iirc) is utilizes damaging mmcblk0p4/5 in order to temp brick the device and then downgrade hboot.

Can you see the problem here? ;) (mmcblk0p4/5 is write protected, no temp-bricking)

link me to _most_recent_ ruu and the OTA firmware.zip chain that gets device to the fw version you are running.

st3wy will be on 5.06.841.1 based on him saying he is on hboot 2.15 and has a Telstra device.

Beaups, if this is a per region type thing and you are super keen and want to support all regions, I have a big reference thread where you could get all OTA links for all regions.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2119610

In all cases the first 3.17 or 3.18 OTA is a complete base. There is very few regions where that first 3.17 is missing.

First 3.17 brings hboot 2.14. Supercid from here was still possible I believe.

Some regions got a second 3.17, that is still hboot 2.14 but did get a sbl2 update which I think is when the write protection preventing supercid began.

Most regions are up to 5.xx, which gives hboot 2.15 and also another sbl2 update.

Almost certainly you are reading wrong or people are reporting wrong.

There is a AT&T 2.20.502.7 ROM for Evita that ships with hboot 1.14.0002. There is no known hboot 2.20 for Evita.

Also updating your hboot will not give you love. I was suggesting going down hboot versions(with other tricks) so you could install an older RUU that would install an older sbl2 that would let you supercid. As beaups pointed out that is not even possible with the new updates from HTC.

Due to the new protections in the update installed on your device you really have no option(short of JTAG or replacing the device) but wait for if beaups can update his new tool moonshine to support Evita devices.

Unless beaups requests for more info you just need to sit and wait quietly. Also remember don't ask for ETA's! :)

If you have the same issue as me (system is read only) meaning you can't achieve superCID or s off, then no there is no easy fix, you'll just have to wait for beaups to work his magic and if were lucky hell port this firmware to his moonshine program, also the hboot isn't the issue
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] st3wy:
I have recently discovered a little fact about the HTC one xl, being that if you sim unlock so as to use a different carriers sim in an otherwise locked phone, you can only get internet using an old simcard, apparently the newer micro sims work only with radio, no data connection. Don't ask why because I haven't the faintest idea, and my one XL came with a new sim from Telstra which data worked just fine on but after unlocking and trying Vodafone sim, calls worked but data connection just showed up with 'cannot connect, unsupported carrier' or something along those lines. So idk if your having that issue, but I still believe the problem lies in the Telstra firmware not allowing data through Vodafone sim.. Hence why I tried to flash a different ROM, wherein I came across a whole heaps of issues with the new read only system
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] st3wy:
Sigh..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
Sim unlocked has no bearing on data working.

Your issue will simply be that the APN is wrong for Vodafone.

Carrier neutral phones have APN for all carriers, but carrier locked phones tend to only have that carriers APN details.

Just manually enter the correct details or ask Vodafone support to help you enter them.
