[ROOT] Think-tank

---

So, I'm starting this thread to start trying to put a root method together.

I've started work on a unsecure boot image using the at&t boot.img from 1.68
(going to try and get a 'INSECURE BOOT AND ROOT' going for our devices that paulobrien already has going for teg3 models)

I'd like a confirmation that the at&t 1.68 ruu does indeed work 100% without issue on the rogers devices. As there's no Rogers RUU, I'm taking a big leap with semi-bricking a pretty expensive device that I bought outright and would like to minimize risk (I still am willing to take the risk)

Also, any other information/help/idea's from other dev's or users alike would also be appreciated.

Let's get this ball rolling without waiting for the at&t release...


Edit: Has anyone attempted to compare the partition table to the one already somewhat put together for the Tegra 3 One X ?

PS: I'm going over information regarding the regular one x, and comparing them to the extracted items from the 1.68 evita ruu (so I can get a sense of the makeup of our devices) ... I might have to make us a partition table comparison similar to mike1986's

from my understanding and research... the Rogers and AT&T are identical minus the HIGHEND bloadware

Even the CID is the same?!

Wow that's good news for AT&T people, they can flash the Rogers RUU to gain more features

For rooting... Possible to unlock with htcdev?

Then we only need a custom recovery to push busy box and whatever to get root

I haven't done it myself yet, but some misguided users did unlock their bootloader and flashed the CWM for the Tegra edition of the One X. So I'd assume we're good on that front. I was going to start trying to compile CWM for our device on the weekend, but life got in the way.

I've unlocked my bootloader through HTCDev. I also believe the CID are the same but please don't quote me on that. I spent hours trying to correct my device so everything is a blur.

I believe that outside the carrier bloatware that the Rogers and AT&T devices are completely identical. I've killed just about every piece of Sense software too and my device is running flawlessly. On a side note, I'm quite impressed at how polished this is and that Sense isn't the beast it was on previous devices. Re-enabled a lot of features and I quite enjoy them.

The same was the case between the Telus DHD and the Inspire 4G... But one was the PD9814000, while the other was a PD9812000 (ordered respectively). I wouldn't doubt the same. The original DHD was PD9810000 (DHD 9191), and there was also a PD9815000 as well floating around in the asian market (I think Korea) and was simply another variant of the TelusDHD/Inspire (9192).

If someone were to hop into an at&t store and check their display model, what it says on the back under the FCC logo .. or better yet install terminal on it and run /sbin/grep and get the androidboot.mid value to accurately get the CID, would be best.

Well, if our recovery sits in the same partition as the teg3 device, then we might actually have a chance.

Also, here's a link to a 1.68 mirror I put up. More reliable that the one's currently available.

Will upload more as I get them (clicking my user name will get the full listing of items I have available; 'ER3BUS' is NOT for the One X if anyone's wondering)

On the Rogers unit, it's NM8PJ83100.

I believe some AT&T customers here said they had the same number on their pre-orders.

(This may be a dumb question.)

Even if it's not on the same partition, does that really matter when we can just "fastboot flash recovery cwm.img?" Of course we'd have to find the partition locations, but I think fastboot should be enough to get us off to a start. Maybe I'm wrong. I've never had the chance to work on rooting a device, but with this one being so new, I'm hoping I get a chance to help out.
