Guest Mike Penz Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hey. I've a One X (Tegra 3) and i'm still S-ON and never used HTC Dev. I also use a Mac. So what will i have to do, and what can happen if it fails? Is it save? (S-ON should protect me right?) Can i loose all my installed settings/apps? I'm only a bit carful because i love my OneX and i have not that much money to buy a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SozzaSinnian Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 what can happen if it fails? In the first post of this thread: You use this at your own risk! Worst case scenario, you'll have to reflash with a RUU (make sure you have one handy! Can i loose all my installed settings/apps? I'm pretty sure when you do an RUU you will lose your data as it does a complete restore, However I am not 100% on this as never had to use one yet.

Guest kruppin Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) I have both S-on and locked bootloader, and unfortunately it didn't work.. :( And what is "/data/tigps/aiding" ? why not use the same (tmp) as the at&t hack? Wierd it works on that phone but not this one.. Or maybe it did in the first versions? I have FW 1.29.. Ans why is the partition table so different? :P p12 and p33? Sure it's a very different phone, but still. Edit: I haven't read anything about the AT&T variant, but maybe the reason why this works is that it hasn't S-ON?

Guest marco1958 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Operation not permitted on the remount. Anybody has a setuid root mount executable? Push that along with the other stuff and try remount with 1551 root mount? Just an idea. So close :) Or does push remove permission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Namtaffy Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) am I being dumb or is there code in init.rc that detects if adb is in root mode and resets the usb connection? it's about halfway down the file? or am I talking out of my butt (which is highly likely :) ) either that or it resetting to handle the new root instance of adb maybe? # adbd on at boot in emulator on property:ro.kernel.qemu=1 start adbd # This property trigger has added to imitiate the previous behavior of "adb root". # The adb gadget driver used to reset the USB bus when the adbd daemon exited, # and the host side adb relied on this behavior to force it to reconnect with the # new adbd instance after init relaunches it. So now we force the USB bus to reset # here when adbd sets the service.adb.root property to 1. We also restart adbd here # rather than waiting for init to notice its death and restarting it so the timing # of USB resetting and adb restarting more closely matches the previous behavior. on property:service.adb.root=1 write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable 0 restart adbd write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable 1 Edited May 9, 2012 by Namtaffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kruppin Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Too bad. :( But why is it working on the S4 variant and not the tegra one? Wierd. Either they don't have "real" s-on, or maybe they want people to root (since at&t wont allow unlocking) so they can charge money to fix faulty devices through warranty. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the exploit is using a file with root permissions created in init.rc to push the property "ro.kernel.qemu=1" into local.prop so that adb has root access to run the rest of the script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kruppin Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Actually, I think it DOES work.. But after a real reboot it's gone again (s-on). I tried not removing the local.prop, and when I adb shell I get # and can mount system without problem. But with that local.prop there, the phone seems to restart as soon as it's booted. With S-ON I don't think this'll ever work. It's wierd it does on the AT&T variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PaulOBrien Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Basically writing the local.prop gives you temproot, but makes the device think it's running in the emulator, which breaks all sort of stuff hence the reboots. The fipside is you have temproot, so hopefully you can remount /system rw and put permroot on. S-ON, like we've seen in the past, seems to prevent writing to /system, so unfortunately that's a no-go. Very strange they didn't go that route on the AT&T One X but hey! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fstluxe Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Don't worry guys, I got cotulla on this case to get the device S-off. Within weeks we have a fully S-off device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kickasskev Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Paul, will there ever be a way to unlock the bootloader without going through htcdev or am I just wainting for false hopes? Also is the root without unlocked bootloader a total no go now in your opinion or do you think this also may be possible in future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
