Rumrunner S-off for HTC One XL!

Firstly let me say that this isn't my own work, all credit goes to @beaups and @Fuses for bringing this to our device.

Rumrunner is a new method for achieving s-off on HTC devices. This method does not require SuperCID like Facepalm, the only requirement on your device is root and an unlocked bootloader.

So, all you people that took the latest update from HTC that gave you write protection on the 2.15 firmware/hboot, this method should give you s-off.

This is just a simple thread to get this method some exposure for users with our device. As per the licensing section on the site and beaup's wishes I cannot include the download or instructions in this thread. However, we can have this thread serve as a troubleshooting/help location for the One XL. Alternatively, support for rumrunner s-off is available at #rumrunners on the freenode and andirc networks. Please make sure you meet all of the requirements before contacting support.

Rumrunner S-off.

Please go give beaups and Fuses a bunch of thanks for their work!

Your CID is still TELST001 because you've never gotten SuperCID. Rumrunner gives you s-off but it doesn't change your CID. Now that you have s-off you can change your CID manually as many times as you want by using this command:

Code:
fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx

The x's there represent the new CID, if you want SuperCID it will be 11111111 (eight 1's).

Hey tim, i am SO stoked to see that this has been released.. just having some issues getting through the process, the usb drivers are updated, the adb connection is working, i tested the connection before running rumrunner, the phone itself resets through the first test, it loads into fastboot, then resets a second time into android os, at which point it has the error 'must ferment longer.... must sanitize, skunky rum is nasty. hold please...' then it just says press enter to exit :( no s off.. i am ruing kickroidXL v3.0.0 which runs adroid 4.2.2 sense 5.0 and obviously im on hboot 2.15. perhaps if i restore my original system image i will have some more luck?
attached is a screenshot of my rumrunner shell

You could try restoring your backup, or flashing back to an Android 4.1 ROM and attempt it again. I'm not sure whether either of those will help but it's worth a shot. If you don't have any luck you can contact the guys for support on freenode or andirc.

cool....I already have S-Off, but this looks to be even easier than the previous method (though even that wasn't very difficult). Glad to see more options out there for achieving S-Off.

FATAL: Download updated package at

I'm on CM 10.2 nightly 10-26-13
I never was able to get s-off using the facepalm method either.

I'm on an at&t evita, so I used the universal package.

I'm guessing you couldn't get a hold of the guys on freenode or andirc. I had someone earlier who it took a few attempts for it to work. So you've only attempted it on Android 4.2.2 ROMs? Have you tried with an Android 4.1 / Sense 4 ROM?

    If someone on XDA helps you please press the thanks button on any post that was helpful. It's better than just saying thanks.

    You can revert the phone to s-on status by giving the following fastboot command:

    Code:
    fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

    I'm not angry but I'm certainly not going to go and find the link for you when you can do it yourself. Surely you can navigate to the general section and find a thread on your own.
