Rum runner might fail a couple times. You got to have patience and keep running the script

Make sure you flash the boot image for the viper ROM on your PC to successfully flash the ROM. once you flash the ROM make sure you have root privileges. I don't remember if viper came with a super SU included, but I think it does.

After u s off, make sure you update the hboot and firmware.

While this process shouldn’t be too risky, bricks can happen. None of us will be accountable. If you are worried, don’t do it.

This is a pretty simple method, however, you will need to have a working adb and fastboot environment. This method will work on any operating system that supports adb and fastboot. You should understand how to use a terminal window in your O/S. If you don’t understand adb and fastboot, you probably don’t need S-off.

Lastly, the work herein should not be stolen, repackaged, one clicked, bat’d, etc. soffbin3 is not GPL and may not be reused, integrated into other work, reposted, or redistributed without our permission.

For this to work, you must be rooted and have superCID (unlock/custom recovery is optional), see the threads below for help and information regarding obtaining superCID, unlock, root, etc. Note these threads are provided for convenience only. Please look for support for them in each respective thread if you need it, do NOT clutter this thread with support requests regarding obtaining superCID and/or root! If you try this process without superCID, it will not work, and you may have issues!:

HTC One XL: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1952038 (2.2)


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!

If you need help or just care to say thanks, join us on IRC: #FacePalm http://chat.andirc.net:8080/?channels=facepalm

Enjoy.

would you happen to have the soffbin and onex.zip laying around somewhere? all links are dead. thanks

    Fix for error 99, that doesn't involve flashing roms hoping it solves the problem:

    fastboot oem writecid 11111111
    power down completely, go to fastboot
    continue from the fastboot oem rebootRUU command

    thans attn1 and jcase for the help

    Ok folks thanks to c5satelite and other helpful folks at S OFF PARTY AND IRC we figured out how to fix this whole "error 99" shenanigans.


    Step 1. Download the latest stockish ROM (I used Viper 3.2.3)

    Step 2. Boot into bootloader and fastboot flash the kernel.. then reboot back into recovery

    Step 3. Wipe /system and factory reset in TWRP

    Step 4. Install rom in TWRP

    Step 5. For *Viper Only* Don't wipe in Aroma, and uncheck reboot at the end.

    Step 6. Reboot into bootloader from recovery (Don't boot into the ROM)

    Step 7. Follow the instructions in the OP to a T ... read reread.. go get some coffee.. and try again.. hopefully you see Error 92 and not 99

    This worked for me with ViperROM on hboot 2.14

    Thank you to all the folks involved you guys are rockstars from Mars! :highfive:

    For those with PJ8310000 Model IDs, do it anyway. That zip works regardless of One X/XL Model ID.
    I tried it and am now S-Off'd. My Model ID is PJ8310000.

    Also, thanks so much to those involved!!

    we will add more hoxl model id's and zips shortly
