ONLY Works For HTC Evita By AT&T On 3.18..... and I threw this together so people can have all there information on 3.18 in a single thread. I take no credit for the work.... Because I'm not the dev that's made the exploits, or files.

How To Root on the ATT 3.18 firmware for HTC One XL and SuperCID.

- Linux Simplified
- Windows Explained*

DOWNLOAD : ( 3.18 root exploit )

Linux Version.
Requirements -
--Adb Environment--
--Knowledge on how to use adb--
--AT&T HTC One XL and linux based computer haha--


As @myusernam3 says
1. just extract zip*
2. run pwn.sh......This automated method*
3. or follow the windows steps on linux ( the adb steps )


Windows Version
Requirements -
--Adb Environment--
--Adb Knowledge--
-- AT&T HTC One XL and windows based computer


1. Open Command Promt and navigate to your Adb folders and make sure the xpwn.tar.gz Is extracted to the main folder of adb...

2. Execute this command
Code: 
adb push oneXchopper /data/local/tmp/xpwn

Followed by*
Code: 
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox

Followed By
Code: 
adb push ownage /data/local/tmp/phase1.sh

Next*
Code: 
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/xpwn /data/local/tmp/busybox

Next*
Code: 
adb shell ln -s /data/local/tmp/busybox /data/local/tmp/sed

Next
Code: 
adb shell "/data/local/tmp/xpwn"

Next
Code: 
adb reboot bootloader


Just to clarify, this is a temp root which sets your CID to SuperCID allowing a bootloader unlock via HTCDev. It does NOT install Superuser or anything of that sort.

I'm not responsible for bricks, warranty voiding, etc. and please let me know if this works*

Thanks to Dan Rosenberg for Motochopper, which I modified very slightly for use in this script.
Thanks also to the people who paid the bounty. You guys are awesome and probably just bought me something nice. Not sure what yet :p
One more thanks to Daft Punk for providing some decent music to listen to while I worked on this. I was up all night to get lucky xD

How to S-Off After completing above

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

Once you have confirmed you have SuperCID, get started (read it through first so you understand it all):

1.) Download patcher and unzip it in your working directory:
soffbin3.zip soffbin3.zip Mirror

2.) Download the zip below

OneX.zip = MD5: 99a8eced1010543e12cbd4e4e8f9638f,* Mirror

3.)
Code: 
adb reboot bootloader
(wait for bootloader)

4.)
Code: 
fastboot oem rebootRUU
(wait for black HTC Screen)

5.)
Code: 
fastboot flash zip PJ8312000-OneX.zip
After a while, You should see the following error “FAILED (remote: 92 supercid! please flush image again immediately)”

6.) Immediately issue the following command:

Code: 
fastboot oem boot

You may see some errors, just wait for the device to boot into Android (only now, you should be booted into Android with no eMMC write protection of any kind active).

7.) Issue the following 3 commands to update the security partition with S-off flags (one command at a time!):
Code: 
adb push soffbin3 /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 744 /data/local/tmp/soffbin3
adb shell su -c "/data/local/tmp/soffbin3"
(wait for a few seconds)
8.)
Code: 
adb reboot bootloader
9.) You should see what you are looking for!

You might want to mention that the 2.15 firmware is only really necessary/recommended for users wanting to run Android 4.2.2 Sense 5 ROMs. It isn't required for anything else. You might also want to mention that the work isn't your own, and give credit to all the people that actually did the work on these exploits.

What about 2,14 firmware? Is it necessary for Sense 5 JB 4.2.2 ROMs?

Well you can use 2.14 firmware but to fix any issues that come with sense 5 you will need to use Zarboz Kernel... If you update to 2.15 firmware that was made for Sense 5 4.2.2 you won't have any issues... But to upgrade firmware you must be S-Off

FYI: on 3.18 RUU

My System Details

Hope i am not much of a trouble. Tc Have a nice day.

FIXED: its "fastboot flash zip filename.zip" & u should not change the default filename which also throws error. Pulled from Turge's Stock Rom post. All creditz to him.

The most significant change is (suspected) to have to do with the radio included in the 2.15 firmware package. The power save function on Sense 5 ROMs cause signal drop and reboot issues for some folks, likely having to do with older radios not playing well with the power save function.

    No it isn't part of the process, it gives temp root in order to get SuperCID so you can unlock at htcdev. You need to install TWRP 2.6, then you can install Superuser. Once you have Superuser installed you can get s-off. Once you have s-off your can update to the 2.15 firmware package, which is what you need to run Sense 5 ROMs without problems.

    You need to follow the instructions exactly, give the commands exactly as it's said to. You don't need to flash recovery again, you can reboot afterwards as normal and boot into your current ROM.
