if you were able to change the cid using jtag,why were you not able to just write the radio flag to 00?

where are the radio flag and cid located with tegra3?

this phone hox jtag disable and u must work on emmc nvidia chip

Write EMMC_00200000_BIF_11111111_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.BIN in BIF partition cid &imei change edit with hexditor
but radio, modem cant find on partion

now that you are supercid,what happens if you try and flash a signed package in ruu mode? this is the way "facepalm" works... qualcom processors give you a supercid error,and if you then fastboot oem boot you do so without write protections

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

obviously soffbin3.zip or the firmware zip wont work,but maybe tegra 3 will give a similar reaction to encountering supercid?

eah talk with them on irc http://chat.andirc.net:8080/?channels=facepalm and see what instruction they will give you it is progress that you gain Super CID

@behtash now what you see in your bootloader your CID is 11111111 are you tried the method on facepalm. Try run firmware.zip for HOX and after this see what will happend

hi.
I buy a HOX from england to fix my other HOX.
The thing is this phone is locked by three carrier, which dont exist in spain.So i want Super CID to change the rom.
The thing is whitout S-OFF is inposible so i ask htc directly, whitout result, saying me that dont offer suport for S-OFF.
i read a lot of things for this phone,but ¿works somthig for S-OFF the device or still nothig?
Thanks and good luck whit the main goal!!!

Actually s-off is possible via apx, but there's a catch. The only known way to enter apx is by opening the phone and performing a dangerous thing (bypassing the emmc while booting). This is not viable for most users, we still need a software solution..

Try THIS if you want to go in apx mode, the guys from the forum from where I take the archive say it work to go in apx for HOX. It's software for go in apx. And really I dont know how you think will achive S-OFF from apx mode? With nvflash you will flash lower hboot but you will not S-OFF the HOX. I see many picture on HOX resurected from apx but all of them S-ON you need clan S-OFF hboot to put on HOX from APX maybe but no one found clean S-OFF hboot.

If you have any good idea please say!

I found a way to s-off if you put your phone whit superCID, but i dont have superCID.
I try to change my cid (h3g_001) to superCID (11111111) by change mmcblk0p19 and mmcblk0p13, but despite it accepts the changes even after a reboot, bootloader shows h3g_001 CID :(

if youre refering to facepalm,it does not work on hox,only hoxl. terga 3 is a completely different animal

changing cid is not needed to change rom

changing rom is not needed to sim-unlock

if im understanding correctly, you just need to purchase an unlock code from ebay or a reputable phone shop. after that if youd like to change roms,you can do so by unlocking the bootloader via htcdev.

in apx mode,you would just need to rewrite the partition that houses the secure flag with one that has the flag turned off. unfortunately,ive no idea where the flag lives.

id love to see a tegra 3 solution,but there is just not the interest from those that are talented enuff to find it,and even at that it may not exist. the current solution for modern qualcom devices is using a processor based exploit that wont work.

anyone interested in this should take the tome to read back thru the thread,most if not all feasible options have been discussed

nothing. Forget it
I ask HTC for an S-OFF method, but the answer me than they dident offer suport for soff method and i can read in online forums, ask informatics or especial developers, oh yeah
While they do not offer a solution for s off, they do offer 1 to unlock the bootloader which will allow you install a custom recovery and flash different roms. Go to htcdev..com

Are you really that ignorant? There is no way except of a few repair centers that do that...either you try that way or you just make sure your phone is still unlocked with a custom recovery and just flash a Rom and its boot.img via fastboot...man really keep reading instead rushing all sh1t...
Even if you entered apx mode you can't s-off because there is no script or so to do that!!!!!

    I have gained access to some neat tools!

    The tool is also able to boot into diag58, currently i'm running it userspace and can freely set everything i want. I tried entering diag58 but it was waiting on modem. Going to try to read the secure key, it has basicly acces to everything.

    IHTC One X+ Infos will be adapted to this as soon as possible.


    Names for the devices are:


    Model ID: PM35110
    Model Name: S728e
    aka One X+



    Model ID: PJ46100 aka
    Model Name: S720e
    aka One X



    So as the title says, we're facing the problem of not having S-OFF yet, although the One X (S720e) has been released nine months ago. The One X+ is newer but since it has the same processor family, it's accountable to this project. It's possible to unlock the bootloader via HTCdev but it doesn't gives us S-OFF. The Unlock via HTCdev gives us only partially control over Bootloader and Recovery. Since it's release date, some great Devs including Xmoo, Football, Mike1986 and more tried to disable the security check. Unfortunatly without a solution for the masses. Also the One X+ (S728e) is relatively new on the market, so THIS is maybe the first thread in the world regarding S-OFF on the S728e Unlike on other HTC phones, on which hardware solutions like the XTC-Clip, or software solutions like revolutionary or any similar software did the job, on the One X they're not going to work. At the moment the only known method is the official HTC's way.

    Ways to set the devices S-OFF
    Ways%20to%20set%20the%20S720e%20S-OFF.jpg


    --------------DIAG + JAVCARD Route--------------

    Infos I could gather. At the moment these infos are only valid for the S720e:

    Basically u need adb/android SDK before proceed.

    [WITH ROOT ACCESS]
    [+] Dump/copy boot.img
    Code:
    Command prompt :
    > adb shell
    > su
    > dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/boot.img
    More partition/img availabe to dump. Will update later.

    [WITHOUT ROOT ACCESS]
    Currently only /system is usable

    1) Android SDK (just need adb)
    2) Download busybox
    3) Command prompt :
    > adb push busybox /data/local/busybox
    > adb shell
    > cd /sdcard/
    > chmod 755 /data/local/busybox
    > /data/local/busybox tar cvf sysdump.tar /system
    4) Ignore tar: error exit delayed from previous errors'. Is done correctly.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Just finished dumped my semi-virgin One X system partition from SEA WWE stock ROM :D.
    The file would be OneX_SEA_WWE_1.26.707.2_SYSTEM_DUMP.zip 558.3 MB :eek:


    Radio (The Radiomodule on S720e is an Intel X-Gold 626 chip [XMM6260]) location (xmoo's post Radio) Documentation of the Radio chip and direct download:
    xmoo; said:
    Mike found out Radio is probably: \system\etc\QUO_6260.fls.clean
    7.96MB

    Commands located in QUO_6260.fls.clean
    CALIB_NVM
    DYNAMIC_NVM
    STATIC_NVM
    SEC_DATA
    PSI_RAM

    If I could believe the following:
    Found the same commands in a datasheet: "MSM3000Qualcomm, Inc.MOBILE STATION MODEM"
    http://www.datasheetarchive.com/MSM3000-datasheet.html

    So guess we got the Radio located!

    How do you know this?

    /EBT does not excist on my phone.


    mmcblk0p2 -> /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/WDM
    mmcblk0p16 -> /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/DUM
    mmcblk0p17 -> /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/MSC
    mmcblk0p20 -> /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/PDT

    of course it does not exist as i have written a few times before!
    it is not accessible with a stock kernel!

    i know it is there:


    Code:
    130|root@android:/ # hexdump -C /dev/block/mmcblk0|grep EBT                    
    000000e0  03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  04 00 00 00 45 42 54 00  |............EBT.|

    and the EBT partition does contain the bootloader!


    CID Check needs to be bypassed (xmoo's post CID check)
    xmoo said:
    Guys, the diag files have "CIDNUM: 11111111" in it.
    Can't change it cause the file gets corrupted.
    So only way to boot it up is by passing the CID check.

    This is were the Smartcard or Goldcard comes in.
    We tried the one from http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard with no success.
    I remember for some devices you had to change 00 to 11, or something like that.
    Maybe this has to be done for this device aswell. Also I remember something that SDHC cards were not supported, or they are... been a long time ago.
    So your help is need.

    Create a goldcard which works.

    Remember to test it like this: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1714056

    Thank you.

    Mike1986's Partition Info (mike1986's post One X Partition Info)
    This thread's content might brick your device.
    This is not a ROM thread, so I'm not going to answer again and again and again the same questions over and over and over again.
    You can't read - quit this thread now. You can read but you can't understand more or less simple things - quit as well.
    You can read and you understand things, but you are too lazy to read the whole thread before asking the question - watch this first. And quit.

    This is what we know so far:

    Partitions1.png


    Some conclusions:

    1. It's very nice to see that finally someone separated "internal sd card" from userdata partition. So it's no longer linked to /data/media, as it used to be on Asus Transformer, Transformer Prime, Galaxy Nexus etc. but it's a separate partition now - mmcblk0p14. Basically the biggest benefit from that is that now formatting userdata partition will no longer erase virtual sd card content.
    2. It seems that NFC and WLAN deep settings are stored on separate partitions: mmcblk0p1 (wlan) and ? (NFC).
    3. There is a 5th PHYSICAL core, but it's invisible to the system. Android only sees the 4 main cores. The 5th companion core is not controlled by Android. Tegra 3 architecture itself handles the load balancing between the main cores and the companion core. (Thanks to Diamondback)
    4. There is no radio.img in current RUUs.

    2. It doesn't contain stock, non rooted system
    3. It doesn't contain secured boot.img
    4. It wont wipe your data partition

    1. Check your CID using fastboot getvar cid and MID using fastboot getvar mid
    2a. If your CID and MID are supported by default, navigate to point 3.
    2b. If your CID or MID is not supported by default, do this: (you do it at your own risk)
    2c. Open PJ46IMG.zip (don't extract it)
    2d. Open android-info.txt in text editor
    2e. Add your cidnum: or modelid: to the list, save file and close archive
    3. Place PJ46IMG.zip on your SD card
    4. Boot your device holding power button + vol down button
    5. Follow instructions on the screen

    Additional information:

    1. Flash above firmware at your own risk!
    2. It's recommended to flash it before flashing custom ROM based on proper RUU!
    3. Unlocking via htcdev.com will change your CID number into "none".

    This is how HTC does it:


    My attempt (tried also on locked bootloader with the same output)




    Things you'll need for this trick:

    - USB OTG-Y-Cable. You can also build your own with this guide : How to make external powered OTG Cable
    - USB SD Cardreader
    - MicroSD Javacard (if you can bypass cid check, the Javacard is not needed) Xmoo said this one is used by HTC: GO-Trust® Secure microSD Java. It costs 980 US Dollars together with the SDK. Also, even if you have the Javacard you have to build the Application environment.
    - 5V+ Power supply (Standard wall charger)
    - PJ46DIAG.zip= clean S58 Data program specificly for the S720E/S728e. The correct DIAG has tot have a size of 964kb or 941kb and must contain the string "clean s58..." which can be checked with hexedit or any similar hex editor.

    The procedure:

    1. Put PJ46DIAG.zip on the Secure MicroSD Javacard
    2. Plug it into the USB SD Cardreader
    3. Plug the Cardreader into the female end of USB OTG-Y-Cable
    4. Plug the OTG-Y-Cable into the USB port of the phone
    5. Plug the cable onto the power supply
    6. Reboot into bootloader
    7. Once in Bootloader the file will be load by the phone and you'll land in S58 Menu. Clean S58 Data and you've successfully set your device S-Off

    And here's the problem with this method. 1. A Javacard is really hard to get. I've never saw one, no one I know has ever saw one :D 2. The Diag file can't be leaked. The ones I've attached here are useless as Xmoo said and maybe proved. I have attached them though. So anyone interested and willing to help can investigate them.

    As we know, the Diag file's for the One X can't be leaked. They're spread to choosen HTC-Repair centres, so a leak will easily be traced back. This would bring the affected people in some serious trouble. But this is interesting. These guys over on pdacentre use the official method. It's suspicious, kind of. For now, this is the only know method. It cost's around 2000 rubel (65€ | 85$) + shipping depending on your location. Of course this isn't an appropriate solution. Another thing; Why do we need a Javacard? Well, because the DIAG files will only work on devices with SuperCID (11111111) not on normal CID (HTC__XXX). So another way is to bypass the CID check.

    TOOLBOX
    The DIAG files I've linke don't have any function except from superwipe. They're only meant to be used as a test file to check if we can load such DIAG files.:

    How do I know that I have the correct DIAG file? ;
    The clean DIAG has a size of 964kb or 941kb. Or look at the image above. If your DIAG is called like them it could be the correct one also. But to be really sure, do the following;
    Download any HEXeditor you can get. Open the DIAG file with the HEXeditor and search for keywords like "clean", "s58", . If you find these two strings in the DIAG file, it could be the correct one. We'd appreciate it if you could upload the file.

    FAQ.
    What is S-OFF?
    S-OFF stands for Security-OFF
    S-OFF means that the NAND portion of the device is unlocked and can be written to. The default setting for HTC’s devices is S-ON, which means that neither can you access certain areas of the system nor can you guarantee a permanent root. Furthermore, signature check for firmware images is also ensured by the S-ON flag.

    What has already been done?
    -Tried flashing DIAG file, but with no success. File needs SuperCID.
    -Tried flashing ENG HBOOT as zip file, but with no success. File needs SuperCID.
    -Tried flashing modified DIAG file, but with no success. File needs SuperCID.
    -Tried flashing modified HBOOT as zip file, but with no success. Signature check failed.
    -Tried creating a Goldcard, but won't work. The Goldcare is for Qualcomm devices.
    -Root while phone is LOCKED, won't work. Only will work on the Qualcomm One X and One XL.
    -Ask the Chineese guy with the S-OFF tool. Won't share, cause he needs his money.
    -Tried flashing files over recovery, but with no success.
    -Tried flashing TETS and MFG ROMs, but with no success. Phone needs S-OFF because the ROMS are not sighned.
    -Tried changing CID, but won't work. Only will work on the Qualcomm One X and One XL.
    -Tried commands over ADB, but with no success.
    -Tried XTC clip, won't work.

    How Do I Know If My Device Is S-ON Or S-OFF?
    That is easy to verify. Simply boot into HBOOT (bootloader) on your device, and the text on top will show the flag status as either S-OFF or S-ON. A full root generally means S-OFF.
    s-off.jpg

    S-OFF – What And Why?
    HTC have installed a sort of security check whose level is determined by S-OFF/S-ON. Essentially, this security level is a flag stored on the device’s radio that checks signature images for any firmware before it is allowed to be written to system memory. This hinders using any custom ROMs, splash images, recovery etc., and also restricts access to the NAND flash memory. However, when security level is set to S-OFF, the signature check is bypassed, allowing a user to upload custom firmware images, unsigned boot, recovery, splash and HBOOT images, as well as official firmware that has been modified, this enabling maximum customization of your HTC Android device.

    Furthermore, S-OFF also reduces restrictions on accessing the NAND flash memory on the device, allowing all partitions (including /system) to be mounted in write mode while the operating system is booted.

    Where is it located?
    Don't know yet, here are the partitions.

    How can I flash through SD?

    What HBOOT status have we seen so far?
    ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL

    ENDEAVORU PVT ENG S-OFF RL
    ENDEAVORU XE ENG S-OFF RH

    ENDEAVORU XE SHIP S-OFF RH
    ENDEAVORU UNKNOWN ENG S-OFF RH

    Partition list for One X with all addresses and lengths of partitions
    Football share the full list which can be found here.

    How does HTC do it?
    They do it with a smartcard/javacard/goldcard (What ever you want to call it) in combination with the DIAG file. Proof is in the attachment.



    --------------Alternative APX MODE Route--------------


    Hey guys,

    Please stop PM'ing me about APX Mode. I get like 10 PM's a day.

    How to get in
    Nobody really knows. The most common way has been pressing volume up and down together while device is off and then plugin USB while connected to a computer.

    How to get out
    When your device is in APX Mode, HTC fixes it in repair. Someone here on XDA PM'd me with this video and said it should work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsnl_LIgzt0
    I have not tried it myself, so just give it a try and share with the rest.

    All the other discussions about APX can be done here, please stop pm'ing me.
    Thank you!
