Great to see Ya over here [MENTION=3505748]darkside32280[/MENTION]:) I was a bit loneley;) and welcome aboard [MENTION=2967322]buckmarble[/MENTION]!!!

I'm contacted a great dev I know, I refer to him as the "honorable [MENTION=747555]jimbridgman[/MENTION]", and before I end my day I'm going to contact [MENTION=5337314]CodyF86[/MENTION] and another couple devs I know... All we need is access to the cid (that's all:-\)... There has got to be a backdoor.... We need a way to find it...

Everyone can help... Ask devs you know, search for possible 4.2.2 holes, post it on your Twitter and such.... %$ck the money, this phone is baddass and deserves mokee or cm or pa or whatever other crap we wanna do with it.

Not to rain on this, but I was offering to ship my One to devs for the purpose of achieving s-off/ bootloader unlock and I didnt get any responses from interested devs. I posted in vzw one and general htc one forums offering it and no one contacted me. It seems like there isnt really interest from devs. I dont know if its because of the anticipation of a looming update and not wanting to risk it getting patched but there doesnt seem to be interest.

I do with you the best of luck with this, Just warning you not to get your hopes up.

unfortunately,no... cant pull anything of use without root. the decrypted ruu zarbos put pu should have boot,system,recovery,etc. one of the guys with s off can easily pull everything else(or everything if you dont want to use the ruu images) there are 37ish total. i havent seen a partition table for the m7_wlv,id say first thing we need is track down that. ive no idea how different it may be.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 18th.abn:
Mmcblk0p4 is "extended" partition. It contains the cid. It is protected by power on write protection. So, with root access you can pull the partition, edit the cid and push it back and it will have no effect. The exploit for this phone has to disable write protection all together. Once it's disabled, editing cid is pointless because you can simply edit the s on/off flag if write protection is disabled. You can find the security flag in mmcblk0p3 at 0x8400

[MENTION=747555]jimbridgman[/MENTION] sent me this:

. You might be able to crack a whole in a process like logger/mount to get temp root so you can put su on the filesystem, but you need to find past root holes for 4.2.2 and match the two up. Even then that may not get you root.

The best place to start is look at how one of the other HTC one phones got root on 4.X and see if you can reverse engineer a solution similar. If that does not work, you need to start digging for security wholes.

If anyone can find the system firmware from HTC out there someplace, there may be a fighting chance.

So, anyone have access to that firmware? (Lol) not till an update I can imagine....

I'm on I can give anyone that want to work on this my g+sn so we can move a bit quicker...

Edit: also, as I was typing that, Jim shot a couple more ideas at me....

Reverse engineer the ics root for the atrix 2 that was a mount exploit he believed was discovered by Dan rosenburg... Or reverse engineer a different exploit from a 4.2.2 device...

Pm me and we'll mesh brains...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 123421342:
Jcase had 2 root exploits. Contact him
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] HypostaticOnion:
Root is nice, but for most isn't what we're looking for overall. Unlocked bootloader is what we are after in order to flash ROMs.

If I've helped, please hit the thanks button
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
i dont want to sound negative,but root that doesnt lead to s off or unlock is pointless. the kernel keeps system from being writeable from the booted OS,so any changes you make(like adding su) are gone with the next reboot,as is anything else youve changed(i.e.,all your bloat comes back)

any temp root exploits are best kept somewhat private so they can possibly be used to leverage a change in write protection.

having said all that, you might look into what it taked to change mid. imei and some things can be changed with a programming password and various cdma tools,so if you can change the mid(model id) somehow,you can unlock with vzw cid(at least until vzw forces to htc to do further checks).

as was mentioned earlier,these phones are so complex with their write protections that the best way to gain complete access is to turn the secureflag off. otherwise anythig you modify is promptly changed back to how it was,or puts the processor into a "do not boot" mode,wich is a very effective,difficult to recover for the average user,soft brick.

im not familiar with motorola safestrap or bootstraps,but id assume somehow htc's filesystem/boot sequence prevents it. otherwise wed have likely seen something similar by now.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 123421342:
Most exploits rely on getting root first....
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] darkside32280:
I have a one that's getting sent back to Verizon, is there anything I can do to help out by taking the ota with the one I'm sending back and maybe try to pull a copy of the ota for u guys to play with? I'm somewhat familiar with adb and can follow instructions on how to do this if it would help.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] calash:
That still confuses me a bit, coming from Motorola land. So any root is basically useless so long as write protection is on? That means that remounts do not work? No Kexec?

So, basically we need an exploit that allows pre-kernel writing to the system partition or nothing will work?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 123421342:
The way I understand it is htc puts write protect and therefore kexec will not work. Root changes will not stick after reboot. There is root for this device and I think multiple groups are working on an exploit.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] daavvis:
What root is there for this device? The only ones I find require dev unlock?

What really needs to happen is we need to trick htcdev into reading the wrong cid... One idea is goldcard... Other ideA Is through the pc somehow, when htcdev is talking to our phones...

I have a couple questions, maybe someone can answer them...

1: when exactly does everything get re-written by s-off, and what exactly is on the list, like is there a hidden place we can stash stuff in till after fastboot

2: does /data/local/tmp get wiped on shutdown, or on boot, or, could we stash something there for fastboot, something that would fool htcdev...

3: tricky.... All goldcard hacks that I've read about require the flash of an ruu... So if we accoplished #2, would it be possible to flash a sprint (or a dev or whatever) ruu?

Working with couple devs on hangouts... pm me with your email if you want in, trying to speed it up, forums are slow ;)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] megaorange1:

I have no intentions of taking the ota on the phone I'm keeping. I know better than that. I was simply offering to use the broken phone I'm sending back as kind of a guinea pig.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] daavvis:
I know man I'm sorry I said that all wrong lol

I don't know how you can pull it without root... I'm gonna ask someone...

Funny thing was I just loaded this forum to correct myself...

On a side note, is the ota on HTC's website, or HTC sync? Would be a lot easier to dl it, or yank it from a pc;)

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
basically you need to disable write protection. either full s off,or via htcdev unlock so at least boot,recovery,system are accessable

dont know if that helped you any or not. sorry for the late reply,i forgot to subscribe :o

htcdev does talk to the phone,in a sense. maybe not directly,but the token generated by the phone is made up of that phones indivdual properties- mid,cid,imei,etc. the unlock code does check with the phone to see if everyting jives. if you change imei,cid,mid or any other one parameter the unlock code will fail,and not unlock the bootloader.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 18th.abn:
If you change anything in the token itself it will fail. If you change any of those items on the device, then generate a token, it will not.

Htcdev works by allowing ANY cid/mid except xxxxxx. It doesn't block ALL cid/mid except xxxxx. A small vulnerability on their part granted, but this is all worthless information and has been exploited to death with unlocking bootloaders. That's why HTC added the write protection to the important partitions that we used for this.

Like Scotty said write protection has to be disabled. Like somebody else said, tmp root is almost always required as well.

(Tmp root exploits will not be posted by any devs I can assure as they are essential and cannot give them to oem's just to get patched)

---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 AM ----------

Oh....... And HTC hasn't used gold cards for a while now. A physical signed java card is required like the nice guy who is helping everybody has.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
right,sorry if i wasnt clear on this,the point i was in my head making,was that you can generate a token and the unlock code wont work if you change something after. i.e. change cid,youll need a new token. change mid youll need a new token. etc. since devices have differene imei,etc you can not use a token from a different device.

edit

[MENTION=4314902]18th.abn[/MENTION] what do you think of using one of the available cdma tools to change mid or cid? im not real familiar with what can be done with them and a programming password

where does mid live? p4?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] buckmarble:
Jcase hinted at a way to disable write protection in the bounty thread. He followed a similar process on the Moto x. If temp root can be achieved sufficient enough to follow/adapt the same process then we should be golden.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
do you have a link for that post? ive seen jcase state several holes remain open for temp root,but not for disabling write protection. moto and htc WP is not the same.

if jcase knew a way to disable the WP,youd have your software exploit by now. he rubs elbows with the great minds of moonshine and team unlimited.

Hello

I just bought an Xperia L.

internal memory disappoints me.

it's 1.57 n 4gbplus sd card.

can I use sd card for game data as 4gb

isn't enough for me. While buying I thought it'll be 6 n sd. I have 16gb card. How to I install three to four games of about 1.2 gb each? (4.8gb)
[Sony Xperia L] damian01211:
There is a tutorial on the forum how to swap internal with external memory which will make your 16 Gb SD Card as a Internal memory.

But be careful and do not format the internal one (will be know as a external after swap) as this will brick your phone. Just swap, do not formate and here you go ;)

afaik the only difficulty you could find is the sdcard partitioning, but it can be easily performed from the recovery

Thank you for being detailed. I exactly know what are you talking about. It takes just two minutes to setup Link2sd if you are rooted.

The reason I do not like Link2Sd is that once you factory reset your phone, sometimes it corrupts your system files. It happened with me a couple of times. It's just I had a bad experience with it.

Download ftf for your phone c2105 or 104 . check settings about for this information.(XDA Xperia l general section) [MENTION=5422247]Joel16[/MENTION] he has wonderful guide for all this

Use flash tool to flash stock ROM. Clear portion/cache etc (google how to use it)

See if that works!

Or yoy can use Sony's own tool PC companion(find on Sony mobile website) to repair your phone!

Is there any way to increase my Device memory(2gb) by merging it with Internal memory(4gb)? Even though I have 191mb free in device memory,the google maps and all are not getting installed in my rooted phone.

Hi @ll!

Has anyone got an Idea of how to get WM05 on My BlueAngel in German?

No Problem with english Version, but my BA sends SMS over other Countries so they are VERY expensive.

So, can i Change the Number on which my BA sends SMS or will a German Version be available?
