The new adb has protection where if the phone is cycled it needs to be reauthenticated. You may have to put your computer on the white list. Not sure if this is your problem or not.

If anyone's having this problem, grab the latest Android SDK and run the adb from there, then a prompt will show up on your phone asking if you wanna connect to your pc, just hit ok and now it should work.

Re: [S-Off] Facepalm S-Off for HTC Devices One S, One XL, Droid DNA

Can't get it to work on 2.14 hboot. On Pablo's stock rooted Telstra Rom. Get the error 99. fastboot oem writecid fails. Can't find any other way to get superCID. Xfactor fails also. Anyone got tips.

Cid is currently TELST001. Someone over in the Telstra thread mentioned they had acheived it without supercid but not me. May have something to do with this stock "rooted" Rom. Doesn't seem to have proper root, can't update Su binary. But I thought it might have been because of write protection. Still working this device out. Only had it a couple of days. Come from nexus phones where everything is just too easy.

changed mine to supercid and the actual s-off steps went smoothly. in fact even the supercid steps were easy.

OK I'm getting somewhere using Chongo's method. heres what I get and it just stays at the HTC ruu black screen.
zip
sending 'zip' (36064 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.647s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) adopting the signature contained in this image...
FAILED (remote: 92 supercid! please flush image again immediately)
finished. total time: 2.743s

C:\Users\PC\Desktop\JOsh\android>fastboot oem boot
< waiting for device >
[Edit] Got it through the whole process... still no S-off. I'll try again later. Used Scotts ROM, ATT hboot1.09. flashed back to CM10.1 for now.

I had trouble and had to go back to ICS, relock boot loader, install stock ruu and do the exploit, then install unlock bootloader, fastboot flash ViperXL-3.2.1 or newer boot.img and then install the ViperXL-3.2.1 or newer ( I used ViperXL-3.2.1 because I already had it download, do not boot to rom after install go to bootloader from Recovery then

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip PJ8312000-OneX.zip

fastboot oem boot , take a break while rom sets up.....

adb push soffbin3 /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 744 /data/local/tmp/soffbin3
adb shell su -c "/data/local/tmp/soffbin3"

    note: updated 2/20 @ 9:20 EST, better ICS compatibility.

    Welcome to Facepalm S-Off for the HTC One XL.

    Credits and terms:

    Exploit by beaups. Full guide, testing, and concept by jcase and beaups. Thanks to dsb9938 and dr_drache for support and testing. Thanks also to all of the regulars at teamandirc.

    Both beaups and jcase will collect the applicable active bounties. Further donations are greatly appreciated and can be sent to:

    beaups - Donate to beaups
    jcase - Donate to jcase
    dsb9938 - Donate to dsb9938
    dr_drache - Donate to dr_drache


    You can also come by irc for support or just to say thanks: #FacePalm http://chat.andirc.net:8080/?channels=facepalm

    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.

    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
