HTC One XL Root 15.8 Root Methods. 2 Known?

I've been poking around to find any root methods since the 4.2.2 / 15.8 build. So far i've found 2 that may or may not work. Have you heard anything about them?

Method #1

Method #2

Thanks For Looking, -HTC One XL trying to get unlocked.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The first one is promising but it costs you $25. The second one just looks like a warning to unlock before taking the Sense 5 update, or did I miss something?

Hi timmaaa, I'm kinda in trouble. I accidentally factory reset my phone on the bootloader, and now I'm stuck in twrp (2.7.0.8), and lost all my sd card info. I have the roms to flash on my PC (I also have backups of other roms), but I'm not able to mount the usb device for my computer to see it. I was trying to install CarbonKat rom. Can you give me any tip on what can I do?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
First thing you should do is use the wipe menu to wipe the sd card, that should fix the corruption. Then you can try to adb push a ROM zip or backup to the device to flash, failing that you can use an OTG cable to mount an sd card or HDD to your phone and flash from that.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FedericoUY:
[MENTION=4153349]timmaaa[/MENTION] : Ok I have done the wipe also to the sdcard. I think my adb is not getting my phone, since adb devices show me no devices connected. Let me clear that previous to all this I have installed twrp 2.7.0.8 via adb succesfully with your steps... I don't understand the OTG thing...

EDIT: When I try to mount OTG USB, it won't mark it as it marks the other options (with a blue cross on the left). It do let me mark sdcard, but I can't find the disk on my pc...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Alright, mounting sd card is broken on recent versions of TWRP so you'll need to download specifically TWRP 2.6 and flash that, that version is the last known one that mounts the sd card. This is purely to copy a zip across, once you've done that you'll need to upgrade TWRP again to flash ROMs.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FedericoUY:
Ok timmaaa I have the twrp 2.6.0.0, 2.6.3.0, and this one 2.7.0.8, but I have no access via adb to the phone. I can't access the phone at all from my PC...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You don't need adb, you should be able to 'mount usb storage' from the mount menu in TWRP and have your sd card show up as a removable drive in Windows Explorer.

I dont know whats wrong, but as long as I have the phone connected to the PC via the USB cable, windows keep making the sound as failed device. Can not acces via the PC to the device... Now I connected to another computer and showed the device. So I need to copy the twrp 2.6 or directly copr the rom to install?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
So you've mounted it now? Just copy whatever zip or backup you have to the phone to flash.

I've been going through this forum for over a week now and have read a ton of information, but now I'm completely lost. I've got an AT&T HTC One X that has received the latest OTA with Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5, HBOOT 2.18. I tried unlocking my bootloader through HTC, but quickly realized from all my reading that I need to modify my superCID. My question is how should I go about doing that? I've read certain instructions about using rumrunner to get s-off, but I'm not sure if those instructions apply to me and the rumrunner and other tools require s-off. Any suggestions would really be appreciated. Thanks!

Pretty much every person that's attempted to do what you want to do has failed, except for one guy. He provides details of what he did in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2865712

I can neither confirm nor deny whether it's going to work for you but it's your best shot.

One thing, just a slight error with your terminology in your post. What you need to do is edit your CID (cell id), which is presently CWS__001, so that it becomes SuperCID, which is 11111111, or 22222222, and so on. This is so htcdev can't tell that you have an at&t device, which are blocked from unlocking the bootloader at htcdev.

Anyway, check out the link above, and please do let me know how you go, I'm very interested to see if anyone can replicate that guy's success.

Thanks for all that information, I really appreciate it. I'll try out this method today and let you know what happens. Looks a new phone might be my next option.

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

So this is interesting. I can use weaksauce to get temp root, but rumrunner didn't work. My question is, if I can get temp root, is there another way to change the cid? I was able to run firewater and temp root after enabling pro features on SuperSU, but still the bootloader says S-ON.

UPDATE: I have rooted the device, but none of the methods for changing the cid have worked so far...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 1nc1n3rat0r:
So as of now, I have a fully unlocked device with s-off. I will try to explain the process I went through, but the whole thing was pretty redundant. I hope it will work for someone else.

Install WeakSauce 1.01 APK

Install SuperSU

Restart Phone

Run WeakSauce app over and over until it says you have been granted root (Note: This may or may not require several restarts)

Open SuperSU, go to options, scroll down to the bottom and enable SuperSU Pro

Follow the instructions at the bottom of http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/ (Temp-root method)

After a reboot, use adb shell and try to run su

If successful, you have gained root. Now go to http://rumrunner.us/ and follow the instructions there

It seems the reason for people not being able to use the other solution (http://xdaforums.com/one-x-att/general/how-to-unlock-bootloader-s-off-sense-5-t2865712) is that if you gain temp root and restart your phone, you lose temp root, which is a serious problem because rumrunner restarts your device several times. Let me know if this makes sense. I hope this will help someone else that was in my position.

I've been running Insert Coin sense 6 Rom since it was released. Last week I decided I wanted to get sense messaging app back and I didn't have it backed up. I thought simply dirty flashing the ROM would do the trick. Well... Somehow I broke my camera. The camera app opens but the screen is blank and it either FC or reboots my device. I tried the following...

Clean dalvic and cache

Clean install of Insert Coin with full wipe

Clean install of Liberty ROM with full wipe

Clean install of ViperXL 4.2 with full wipe

I've also tried deleting the camera apk and installing it again and it still opens but then it's just a blank camera screen and again it either FCs or restarts my phone.

Any ideas about how to fix this? It's like the camera app isn't accessing the camera drivers to operate the camera...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
That's excellent! I said a long time ago that this as probably the only way to get the bootloader unlocked on the latest at&t firmware, and had a few people attempt it, all failed, but it looks like that was probably due to them not really knowing what they were doing, as opposed to the actual method not working.

Prologue: I've had many phones including some much faster than the HOXL like the Nexus 4, but the Nexus 4 durability and screen quality doesn't hold a candle to my HOXL. I can pick it up with greasy hands and simply wipe the grease right off it's polycarbonate body without fear that I have permanently destroyed it's youthful good looks. In short, I love my One X. But I almost sold my One X recently, which will bring me to my question if you can bear my chatter for a moment longer.

I decided to sell my One X because it was getting very slow. By slow I mean "tap on input field, wait 2 seconds for keyboard to display, finally begin typing" kind of slow. I tried all assortments of ROMs and kernels to get the speed back but it was to no avail. In preparation for sale, I did a full factory reset with ViperXL 4.2.0 installed. This wiped all data including the SD card. The phone rebooted and I jumped through the settings menu to get at the IMEI. While doing this I noticed the device seemed a bit more responsive. I set up the phone with my google account and installed a bunch of apps and played around with it for a while to see if the sluggishness would return but it did not. So now my HOXL is no longer for sale since it is back to it's OOBE self.

My question: What caused the device to speed back up? I'm assuming the SD card wipe removed something that was causing the phone to lag or maybe it was the partitioning? Just curious and would like to know what's going on at the lower level for future reference.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It's too hard to say exactly what was the causing the slowness, but performing a full factory reset is usually a pretty good way to fix a problem like that. Unfortunately, it'll most likely slow down again after you've installed all the apps you like and have been using it for a while.

Hey guys! While I am not new to flashing, RUU-ing, S-OFF-ing, SuperCID-ing and what-not a few HTC devices, I'm new the Evita world, even though I've been trying to collect as much info here as possible. I'll be getting a second hand Evita tomorrow, that's already S-OFF-ed and SuperCID-ed and on some 5.05.707.1 FW, hboot 2.15. I would like to flash the AT&T 5.18 RUU to update everything prior to flashing custom roms. Afterwards I would also like to install CM10.2.1 (stable) rather than CM11, however the CM installation page it's noted that for CM10.2 on evita hboots 2.14 and 2.15 are supported, while on CM11 supported are 2.14 and above up to 2.18. Do you think it's going to be a problem if I run CM10.2.1 on hboot 2.18 (after update), anyone on that combo? If not, could you recommend a RUU to flash - sort of the most-up-to date, but still on hboot 2.15.

Another curious thing - in the RUU thread it seems that the latest Telstra OTA has a higher radio version number than the AT&T RUU - thoughts would be appreaciated.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I'd suggest just flashing the 2.15 firmware package in my guide thread as opposed to the 5.18 RUU, it's all that's required to run any recent ROM.

The baseband version is fairly irrelevant because radio performance can vary wildly from user to user as it depends on carrier, exact geographical location, environmental disturbances, among other factors. Someone in the same suburb (even street) as you can have a very different experience on the exact same radio. What I'm saying is you need to test for yourself. Just keep in mind that you must use 1.31 or above radios with the newer firmware.

This is great info!

I took the 5.18 OTA update on my stock at&t One X without the foresight that I may want to mod it and regretted it not long after. I’ve been looking through the forums off and on for months for someone to confirm root/ unlock/ s-off on a stock 5.18 Evita. This really makes my day! (I did also read the thread you mentioned and thought it sounded promising as well).

I wouldn’t say I’m a 100% noob, but still in the novice category. I spend A LOT of time reading before I do anything to my devices and really want to understand what I am doing. I’d like to get clarification on a couple of things:

I see that you used both firewater and rum runner. I thought that the purpose of both of these was to obtain S-off. Did you just gain permanent root through firewater and S-off through rum runner?

Just out of curiosity, was the reason you used the Pro version of Super SU to enable the feature the dev calls “OTA survival mode”?

Again, thanks for sharing. If I proceed, I’ll be sure to report back. I’m very grateful that there is an active community like this for a 2 year old device!

My story:

From stock 4.04 I followed this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1952038) guide for SuperCID and unlocked my bootloader via htcdev.

Everything else is a mess. I can't flash any ROM- I've tried jumping to kitkat ROMs but they give me an error (error executing updater binary in zip) in the latest TWRP. CWM and other TWRP versions don't fix the problem. I can flash SuperSu via adb but it seems not to persist through rebooting the device (which means I can't do do any of the S-OFF guides I see). The phone has no OS according to TWRP and just sits at a black screen if I try to boot.

Can anyone help getting anything on the device? I'm so confused by HTC.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You need to update your firmware in order to run any current ROM. In order to do that you need s-off.

-Flash Kickdroid ROM.

-Use Rumrunner to get s-off.

-Update your firmware.

-Flash whatever you like.

One of the toughest aspects of XDAdev is determining where to ask a question and sorting the signal from the noise.

I'll try to answer your questions to the best of my ability, but I'm not an expert, just someone who took the time to read through many resources on this topic and this device specifically. Much of the process was a redundant mess of steps in order to boost my phone's performance.

1. Yes, I believe in the end I had gained permanent root, but I can't check, immediately flashed TWRP and installed CM 11.

2. The pro version of Super SU was required for one of the steps, I can't remember which off of the top of my head as it has been some time since I did the exploit. None the less, if you try to follow my instructions without the Pro Version you'll get an error or hit an issue along the way, there is a feature in Super SU that is only allowed in the pro-version. Sorry I couldn't be more specific, maybe someone else has a little more insight.

Let me know if you run into any snags. I'll say the hardest part is trying to get temp-root in order to get firewater to run. It really is a guessing game of trying to get WeakSauce to work by re-running and/or restarting the phone in a random mess of button mashing. I'm trying to think if there was anything else I tried, there is one thing that comes to mind. I believe timmaaa posted a "How To" on how to root or unlock the phone requiring you to push "su" to the phone, I did that at some point, not even sure if that really is required though.

I'm happy to hear that my instructions are lending some help. I was also pretty bent out of shape when I found out I couldn't unlock my phone after taking the OTA update. Phone works like a charm now that it's on the most current snapshot of CM 11. Hopefully my new OnePlus One will be even better when it arrives soon :laugh:

Thanks for the reply. I never gained persistent root with SuperSU Pro, but what did end up working for me was the directions linked in your earlier post. Evidently rum runner waits for the device in between reboots for a time, so I was able to run the weak sauce app on each reboot which regained root and allowed the tool to work. It's a breath of fresh air to be running CM 11 now over stock sense 5 after seeing so many posts saying you're out of luck if you took the last update.
