Wunderbar,

Thank you again for clarifying things up.

I've been taking this time to read more about this phone on this thread:

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671237

So i am starting to understand how it works.

i have to admit that i should consider myself lucky for if the phone had a locked bootloader, it would've been bricked.

i've been reading a bit about superCID and i don't have a working linux environment (other than virutal) running right now.

but i'll figure out how to check if it's superCID or not (more likely yes).

now that i've figured out one way or the other that the simlock has nothing to do with the firmwares or recovery........... what could cause it?

again i just want it to work and then i'll take the time to play with the custom roms.

I have the correct unlocking code from AT&T since it wouldn't have accepted it to reboot the phone if it was wrong.

so what could be messing it up?

Cheers
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
You don't need a Linux environment to get fastboot/adb working. And you will need them if you want to get s-off or change the CID (which would be the solutions to your problem of running the RUU).

To get fastboot/adb going, I'd suggest you start here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1754018

There are some apps what will read the phone's state including CID. Others here have mentioned the name of one (or more) such app, but I can't recall, and I don't use it. I'm used to using fastboot.

Not sure. Going back to stock might help. Its all I can think of. But don't be disappointed if it still doesn't work.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] srasiroslayer:
Alright,

So i figured out my CIDnum is 1111111111 using fastboot.

I understand there's a tool that can revert that.

I should also switch to s-off next.

Then at the end lock the bootloader using the adb commands.

Am i on the right track?

At this point i'll try running the RUU and cross my fingers.

My question is, shouldn't i have the original CID number?

and another off topic point, i have no clue what s-on or s-off are.

:D

i'll get into that reading mode again in a bit.

:P

Thank you again, i feel i'm on the right track now and confident.

Cheers

P.S.: do you need me to post the "fastboot getvar all" results? or only thing missing to be sure of was the CID?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Hang on, you're s-on and SuperCID, don't run the RUU or you'll brick your phone. You need to do some reading and research all this before you try these things.

Have you checked your APNs?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
If you are going to s-off, you DO NOT want to change the CID. SuperCID (11111111) is needed to s-off.

As mentioned, make sure you s-off before RUU, or you will brick.

Once you are s-off, it shouldn't matter whether you lock the bootloader or not. S-off means all security checks are bypassed, including the check for bootloader lock.

s-off, as mentioned above means all security checks are off. There are good and bad points to this.

The good, is that you will be safe of the SuperCID + RUU brick condition. Custom ROMs will also be easier to flash, if you are interested in doing that (do not need to flash boot.img separately).

The bad of s-off, is that because all security checks are off, there are no safety checks to prevent you from flashing the wrong things. You have to be very careful you don't flash something that is not intended for the device, as it may brick the phone.

Are you are okay with that, then proceed with s-off. If not, the alternate solution is to change the CID back to the proper AT&T CID (cws__001). This will also prevent the SuperCID + RUU brick condition. But may make the phone harder to s-off in the future, if you later choose that route.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] srasiroslayer:
It looks like then that the s-off route is the one to take, since i will definitely in the future be interested in flashing custom roms.

And it looks relatively easy as per:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2155071

After doing some reading, it also looks safe to achieve s-off on custom roms such as my case.

I'm still reading if s-off will work on my bootloader version or if there are any specific versions to run it at. (so far no mention so good)

I'm guessing i will run s-off today and if everything works out as it should will post my results here.

Only then will i proceed to run the RUU which i downloaded from htc for the at&t model specifically (no chance i could go wrong with that).

Thank you for all the help, i honestly don't think i would've found my way around easily without guidance.

Cheers
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Yes, the s-off method is easy, and it should work on any hboot version.

Good luck.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] srasiroslayer:
Could just having S-off fix my sim locked issue?

In any case new questions arise in my head such as since my model number is PJ8310000 and that with s-off i will be installing PJ8312000-OneX.zip, will that affect running the RUU later on?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I doubt it. SIM lock and s-off are not related, to my knowledge.

Once you are s-off, all security and safety checks are off by definition. As long as you are running an RUU meant for EVITA, you will be safe, and it should run properly.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] srasiroslayer:
Looks like i got the 99 error thing.

at first i had the error 92 and all was working good but after the final reboot didn't get s-off

the second try i'm getting error 99.

I'm going to read more into it.

I'm still s-on so.......
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] srasiroslayer:
So here are the current updates.

As i mentioned in the previous post, running it the first time resulted in error 92 which is normal, followed instructions and didn't get s-off.

second time i had error 99. still no s-off.

I turn off the device and power it back on, run the script all over again with a real good attention and precision (i usually don't f*ck things up).

This time i get the error 92 again and still no success at the end. (did this over 4 times now and no s-off).

would i be logical for me to assume that once the rom is booted it's messed up somewhere? hence the last part of the script not working and also hence sim unlock not working?

what's a good custom rom that would i could install using recovery and not brick my phone?

maybe just installing one would solve all my issues.

Cheers

Hi,

I'm trying it on CleanROM 4.5 beta2.

And by best rom in my case was asking one that would be compatible with my situation, as in hboot 1.0.9, teamwin 2.1.8.1 recovery, supercid, unlocked, s-on.

I have started a petition on change.org to Samsung and AT&T to get the boot loader unlocked. I saw some other people petition other companies a little while ago to unlock the bootloader of a phone and when they reached the required amount of signatures they released a software update and BOOM it was unlocked. Sign it here if you like: https://www.change.org/petitions/sa...oot-loader-for-the-samsung-galaxy-s4-sgh-1337
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] r8revealed:
I believe there is already a petition for this same exact thing with ~383 signatures on it. http://www.change.org/petitions/samsung-usa-at-t-unlock-the-bootloader-of-the-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-2

I emailed Samsung and got this reply

"We would like to inform you that the devices released through carriers are bootloader locked version’s. However, the devices with unlocked bootloader’s are available through Verizon and AT&T. Hence, we request you to check with the carriers for further information regarding the query."

Makes it sound like its the carriers are the ones requesting the boot-locks and that some of there phones aren't locked which is kinda weird. I'm going to contact att tomorrow and ask If I can trade my phone for one without a bootlock as I just bought it. I do not expect this to work but it worth trying and I want att to know that I do not like being sold lock down phones.

Anyways I signed both petitions

if I get any good news from att I will post an update, but more then likely I will just get the classic run around.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
Samsung is completely correct and this has been known for a long time now. The unlocked devices they are talking about are the developer and GE phones. AT&T and Verizon branded S4s are bootloader locked. If you want to read through the forums, there is a lot more information available about all of this. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cletusarrarr:

randall.stephenson@att.com

CEO and chairman of ATT. This is the CEO of ATT, not just ATT wireless, be calm, be professional and be polite. Nothing a boss hates more than several emails from actual rational customers about how his subordinates are doing their job.

Emailing him and blasting twitter/facebook is the best way to get a response. Unfortunately you need MANY people doing it at once. However, samsung devices probably have the biggest userbase besides iphone on ATT. The same issues we have are also present on the Note 3 and other samsung devices no? They are all locked down too right? Getting everyone to blast ATT calmly, rationally, professionally, and most important, PUBLICLY, will get a response if the number of comments is high enough. About once a week I have been tweeting at all the different ATT accounts and emailing various executives and samsung. They just need enough people to understand that people really don't like it being locked down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] alderran:
Just wondering

Do they have to unlock the boot loader when you have had your phone for 2 years? Seems like at that point I have paid back the subsidy and the phone should be mine. I am glad to see things moving away from subsidized phones. God I hate Samsung. Their touchwiz interface is the worst piece of trash in the world. All their junk software sucking my battery dry.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DeadlySin9:
They don't have to ever unlock it. Samsung isn't really the enemy here, mostly AT&T since they're the one locking it. And I've run this battery for days on the stock system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] alderran:
I took my phone off the charger about an hour ago to read a text message. I haven't done anything with it. Just checked the battery is down to 93%. If I leave it off charge it will be dead in the morning. It wasn't like this before the 4.3 update.

I know AT&T is the enemy, but what choice. Verizon is also the enemy. T-Mobile is better, but the coverage is not good.

Not like there is much of a choice. Actually I have no choice because my work place only allows us to use Verizon or AT&T. They both suck.

However I am going to switch my wife over to T-Mobile when her contract is up this summer.

Still waiting on MF3

I still haven't updated to MK2 from MF3 fearing I will not be able to go back if any solution for bypassing the bootloader comes up for MF3.. I had signed up for the petitions long back and now it is good to see that the numbers have increased since then. However I dont think anything will be done by AT&T even after the petitions reach the goal..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] darthmalus:
the easiest route would be to trade for a tmobile galaxy s4 or if you have the disposable income just buy the i9505, i kinda agree no matter how many petitions we sign it will never be enough, so much for android being the " open platform " that it was supposed to be.

What I'm confused about is, how isn't there a way to "ODIN" our phones with the GPE edition stock ROM/Bootloader/etc. Isn't the hardware identical other than the factory software that's loaded on it?

Then again, that would be too easy..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] twcobra:
Nope its never that easy. To Odin a 9505 ROM you need to have Odin access the boot loader so it can change the boot loader. Since it is locked there is no way to load the new boot loader with out the keys to unlock it. Not sure if its a simple password or some sort of encryption.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toxicpaulution:
Password is probably AtTrUlEzZzZzZy0l0

Sounds cryptic enough for me :silly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] failedjedi:
A petition is useless, but directly saying it isn't. Take to twitter and facebook, email att executives, make a big public stink about it. Once you get typical consumers who don't know what any of this means to start asking questions publicly, that's when you will gain traction. We are just a bunch of "hackers" wanting more stuff in the eyes of the general public. Getting the general public to ask questions and understand it's about actually taking ownership of your device then more people will support it even if they don't really care. But statements need to be made publicly where everyone can see on a place where people actually go, not just here. Everyone at xda is fully aware of the issue.

On that note don't just make posts yourself, like other facebook posts and retweet the hell out of existing ones too. We pick a hashtag to use and get it trending. /r/android has a ton of members that even if they don't care will like and retweet anything that helps make the android world more open. We have enough people to make this a big deal just have to organize and do it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] erandhawa:
Signed, for those of you who think it doesn't help how about looking at it as does signing it cause any harm? besides the 20 seconds it takes to fill your information in, it takes more time to login and write a post on xda. Regardless thanks for starting it and hopefully it does something. I wonder if there is a way to merge the two petitions?

CWM on SGH-I337

Hi,

I'm pretty new to all this tweaking and twisting of cell phones, but honestly this is the reason I decided for an Android device over an iphone (well there are other reason to - no offend to iphone users). Shouldn't be an Android device like a PC running Linux - free open code and a big community were nothing is impossible - to move away from this Windows money trap? I purchased different apps, such like ROM Manager, ROM Loader, ROM Toolbox to finally figure out (and there is nothing on the google play store telling you about that) you might purchase apps that are completely useless just because it is still not possible to flash a custom recovery like CWM on your device, even if there are some guys claiming (and giving descriptions on the web) it's the easiest thing in the world and all you need is odin, loki e.g. and find a compatible kernel on the xda forum. I don't remember how many times I tried to flash my sgh-I337 using ROM Manager and other methods hoping to finally see the ROM Manager symbol during recovery. At the end I thought I'm just a rookie (which is the truth) who does something wrong. Reading through all your comments I feel like I just met some other Bill Gates - called AT&T, Verizon....whatever! Looks like the customer is not king anymore, just one of million other to get easy a lot of money from. Maybe this is my first and last smartphone, hoping many others do the same and when it gets dry in their pockets something is going to change. Well, this message is for sure nothing helpful, just blowing off a little steam of a frustrated customer (one more).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eksasol:
I bought this phone for $180 refurb no contract from ATT to make a gift for someone, he's actually using a Galaxy with CM that I flashed for. I never use ATT and my last Samsung phone was the S3 2 years ago, ever since I only use Nexus and stock Android device like Moto X. And after meddling around it seems with my firmware I can only use safestrap, no chance for Cyanogen. This phone is so slow because of all the bloats, even the Moto G is a better experience and feel more durable. I don't meant to come around and seem like a troll to bash the device, but this thing is objectively slow or I'm spoiled from my years of using stock Android.

It seems if you want to avoid this, you can't buy anything from ATT because they all are extremely hard or impossible to unlock bootloader. It's my fault for not considering this before buying.

I thought this would make a decent $180 gift, but even at that price I wouldn't want it. I rather return it and get him something else like the Moto G or X, I can't imagine people paying $600 for this new.

I achieved root using one click root method in following thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2459910&highlight=+one+click+

1. Had to figure out how to get developer mode on, as no developer mode menu entries in 4.2. You need to go to about phone/system info and hit version 7 times as outline here:

http://www.androidcentral.com/how-enable-developer-settings-android-42

2. Once you get developer menus, turn on debugging mode in the normal way,

3. Plug phone into computer (probably need to install odin and samsung drivers but i already had drivers installed for my sgs iii,, i 747.

4. Accept popup on phone to put phone in debug mode instead of media mode.

5. run app as above.. Successfull and reboots.

6. Root was in chinese, I then installed SuperSU from market, and Root Explorer, Triangle away etc.

7. Remove the older superuser.apk from /system/app using root explorer, once the new Supersu is installed, run, and binary updated sucessfully.

I have successfully debloted the rom and got an extra 250 meg free in system partition..

Now if someone would let me know what dumps /dd commands to run to send and backup the recovery partition, so I can try a cwm backup for the i8190 that would be the next step.

thanks

Unfort. it looks like this phone has a different partition structure.. I saw references that on the i8190 the recovery is partition 21

So i tried the following:

cd /mnt/sdcard

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 of=recovery.img

It went in a loop and i monitored it with root explorer and after it wrote 500 meg i killed it and deleted the file. From what i gather that means the on my phone partition 21 is the sdcard and it was looping..

Correct me if i am wrong. Anyway that also means that we will need a custom recover since the partitions have moved around.. Any ideas thanks again.
