Saw this over at the AT&T One X development forums. This script will apparently allows us to flash boot.img through CWM with S-ON and without having to use fastboot anymore.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686564#
Should work for us, no?
EDIT: vladnosferatu pointed out that our boot.img is located at mmcblk0p4.
So the command for our devices is:
Code:
"package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p4");"

good research,
our block for boot.img is mmcblk0p4
so for us should be
Code:
"package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p4");"
I'm pretty sure this is what the updater-scripts do anyway, but since we're not s-off the recovery can't flash that partition.
All updater scripts say this but it doesn't flash it as security is still on

The AT&T One X is not S-OFF and one of their devs tested this. He posted and says it works, but maybe he "thinks" it worked. They don't have any custom kernels yet.

Plus that line had to be changed otherwise there was an error in the script it had to include something to do with tegra

It doesn't throw errors, it just doesn't flash, which is probably why they think it works.

Nevermind, they're flashing boot.img from different RUU versions. That's probably why it works.

if this is true, perhaps the image from an ruu is signed in some way? Or maybe the at+t one x is just less protected than ours, after all, they have supercid, we don't. Either way, we know 100% that this doesn't work for us :-(

ROMs developers and ROMs users - be aware!
I know this thread doesn't contain any "created" thing, but it's quite important to let every developer here know, that their boot.img flashing commands in updater-script doesn't work with S-ON devices. We didn't realize it quickly because there are no custom kernels yet. But no matter if you use package_extract_file or write_raw_image or dd command - this wont work for most users here with just htcdev.com unlocked devices.
So the only solution for now is to download custom ROM, extract boot.img from inside it if developer didn't provide it separately (like I did) and flash it in fastboot mode using following command:
fastboot flash boot <boot_name.img>
f.g.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot_2.0.0.img
etc...
Also keep in mind that fastboot flash is the only way to use custom boot.img because fastboot boot doesn't work yet either.
I really hope we'll get S-OFF possibility soon!
Very Good！
Thanks！

Hmmm ... Seems like there is no change in name under Kernel version after flashing the kernel (fastboot flash boot boot.img). Is it that the developer hasn't changed the name of the kernel or is it not flashed properly?
What a pain to keep having to go to the computer to flash boot.img with every rom release. S-OFF needs to come sooner rather than later. Argh.

No, it's not as easy as that. He's just got the security flag set to off. We won't be able to push any different hboot's while we're S-ON. It's just a case of finding an exploit to push the security flag to off while getting around all the protection that is surrounding it.

As there are no customized kernels up to now, the devs have no reason to change name of the kernel. It's still stock kernel after all .

Mike, I guess this means nandroid restores won't work automatically either and the backed up boot.img will need to be pushed by fastboot.

Ok That Makes More Sense Mate. I Would Suggest Not Doing Anything Official For Now. If You Use A Custom Rom You Need To Keep An Eye Out For A Rom That Is Based On 1.29... The Only Reason You Would Use This Tool Is To Flash The Boot.img Because We Havent Got S-off Yet.
As Of Yet I Dont Think There Are Any Roms That Have 1.29 Though Mate So Youre Going To Have To Hang Tight For A Bit....

Yes, please!
I really like updating roms, but a huge drawback when I have to connect it to my PC all the time...
I miss the old HD2 days...
Nice find, I think it could, but it's dependent on init.d, ROM devs could maybe implement or into there rom though. I'm gonna test in a mo. The boot seems to be writable once the roms booted, just not from recovery, so it basically flashes it as the ROM boots.

YOU MUST BE SOFF TO USE THIS MOD, IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THAT IS YOU DONT HAVE IT. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKS DUE TO YOUR NEGLIGENCE. Now lets continue.
You can find the hboot here to download: Download
Once you download this zip, extract all of its contents. You will need to verify the md5 of the mmcblk0p18 so be sure to pull the .md5 as well. Once you have the files, open the md5 in a text editor of choice. Then, put the mmcblk0p18 into your adb folder. If its in your path, I will make the assumption you can modify this to your needs. You will now need to use the code below. Be sure you are booted into android!
Code:
adb push mmcblk0p18 /sdcard/mmcblk0p18
adb shell
su
md5sum /sdcard/mmcblk0p18
#now check the output of this command with the md5 in the file you opened in notepad. If it DOES [U]NOT[/U] MATCH, [U][B]DO NOT[/B][/U] proceed
dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p18 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
diff /sdcard/mmcblk0p18 /dev/block/mmcblk0p18
# IF THESE DIFFER DO NOT REBOOT, try the command again. If you are not S-OFF then you will see that the files WILL differ.
Now, you can reboot and the red warning text will be gone! Enjoy!
After you do this, it will look like this (Hboot will show 1.18.9999):
