Hey guys,
Paul O'Brien just tweeted that he received his sensation this morning! That's awesome.
Also, HTC sent him a s-off version!
That should give a massive boost to sensation development.
This is really great, really gives HTC extra points if they give such a big handover to community. That´s the spirit, give an unlocked phone to such a dev.
Just wishing they would do the same for Cyanogen...
I can't wait to see what he has in store! This phone has so much potential once they get it unlocked, it's crazy!
This is wonderful, damn I'm looking forward to see him doing his magic!
HTC shud send him device with S-ON so he can figure out how to S-OFF it.
If he already hv S-OFF device, nothing much todo then
Let's see how fast he roots..... He's usually pretty quick. Go Paul go!
He's running on 1.34.401.1 - new ROM version
I did ask if he was ENG S-OFF or SHIP S-OFF but he didn't reply

Hmm, maybe that is the ROM that is S-OFF by default then, ie the unlocked bootloaders
I think it's SHIP S-OFF, he posted a pic here
If it's ship S-off, he can flash to ENG S-OFF jsut like I did when I flashed a stock ROM
Excited Then, what does HTC do...giving out free devices?

If unlocked and rooted first, I'll stick with HTC. As has been the ongoing theme, the best hackers make stuff for HTC, hence the topic of this thread.

Q3 this year? I'd expect q1/q2 next year, a lot of people will be pissed when they release the SGS3 this year.
Fantastic news. Htc sent him it with s=off. Hopefully we receive the update as well to turn s-off on our devices (which mines probably isnt) so this phone can turn from beast to godlike.

i see that a lot of people are asking about AlphaRevX and info about AlphaRevX is spread in several topics in several device forums.
actually i spoke to guys working on AlphaRevX.
i learned that AlphaRevX is tested on HTC Wildfire/IncredibleS.
BUT i was told that DesireS should be also unlocked with AlphaRevX - but closed beta testing was not done on DesireS yet.
only sensation should not work with AlphaRevX for Wildfire/IncredibleS because its setup its a bit different(but im sure someone will work this out eventually).
AlphaRevX could be released until end of this month. at least that seems to be the consensus.
all we need to do is wait (and donate)
great news!
wow great news!!! yahoooooooo! I can't wait for this!

just what i wanted to hear
I still believe that S-Off Desire S would be the same way as S-Offing the Incredible S
The AlphaRevX is a modified bootloader right ?
I hope it will be reversible..(unlike xtc clip) so you could S-ON for warranty purposes.

Who told this to you? Was it the developer of AlphaRevX ?? Are you SURE that this will come to the Desire S ? I don't care when, but are you positive this it will support the Desire S? From your post, it seems like an assumption. Thnx
Well.. send the developer a pm and ask him... i pretty sure that it will work on the DS or it will help to make one for DS

yes, i believe they are the main developers of this utility. IEF and KMDM.
KMDM is also posting here on xda-devs forums. you can PM him, but im sure he will not be able to provide more information like i did. we will need to wait until AlphaRevX will be released and someone will test in on desireS or someone will betatest it with desireS.
as i wrote in 1st post, they said it SHOULD work on desireS without any problem.
i sure hope so

Thanks for the info bro. I'll wait about one more month for this. That's the PEAK of my patience. If it's not out by then, I'm gonna have to use the XTC Clip.
Technically the Incredible S and Desire S share the same bootloader security so there really shouldnt be a problem with it working on the DS.

Not out, Desire S support will probably be added after the initial release.

No, from what I understand this is a software method that will make your device S-OFF (the same as the XTC would, except reversible) and then you'll be able to achieve root using either the gingerbreak or superoneclick method.
EDIT: I now believe that you'll need TEMP root to apply the software....continue to read the next posts for more information.....

People have been attempting to contact HTC and letting them know that they are in breach of the open GPL compliance act by not releasing the kernel source, which would allow s-off (I think, that's what I get from it..)
See this thread for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629933
They're pretty much saying it will be out in 90-120 days. Don't get why it takes so long when the one x and one v both got it already, but I'm assuming they have some kind of reasoning for it.

I'm not sure that Kernel Source will do anything for S-Off as the kernel is not part of the HBoot. Unless Kernel Source also includes a new S-Off HBoot, which I doubt it. To obtain S-Off an exploit (like with the Sensation) will need to be found or an HTC signed HBoot that provides S-Off.
Kernel Source will allow custom kernels with speed tweeks, OC/UV, OTG, etc. etc.

What I meant was I hoped HTC released S-OFF HBoot after the kernel sources were released. I doubt they would release a signed HBoot before the kernel.

For those who are interested on getting S-OFF there is a current petition that is requesting this for all HTC devices.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEVOaXl4R09QV0hqYVFKbElUQ1RZWmc6MQ#gid=0
Give your name to the document if your interested.
Signed, I've no idea why they can make the bootloader unlocked but not give S Off, what other harm would it do, we already invalidate the warranty.

Exactly. That's why its being requested. All they would have to do would release a signed HBoot with S-OFF for each device. Or provide a universal tool. Either way would work for me.

If you could provide S-OFF for the One S that would be amazing.
I hope that S-OFF for one x can be used to develop s-off for one S. I've a vodafone it branded one s and so I can't restore original firmware with RUU_Ville_.exe file.
Iff there is any other devs wanting to work on it I would be happy to get something started?

Hi all,
I am new to android and just* want to root my phone as many apps demand your phone to be rooted such as full backup apps, firewall apps and other similar apps.
I am still on HTC's stock 2.3.3 with HTC sense v.2.1 (though i have downloaded the OTA update for 2.3.5 but kinda confused over negative reviews of 2.3.5 update..so I am holding it here right now)
But when I saw a guide here though quite helpful but I was a bit confused as what I read on other articles on XDA + on other blogs that a thing called HBOOT is a bit tricky to tackle while following a particular rooting method; as there are many ways to root like using revolutionary..installing custom bootloaders etc (is it really neccessary? I just want to root my phone and don't plan to install any custom ROMs in near future.)
I am confused
- as to should I really let my warranty go off the table as its just a month old phone sacrificing it for just a few apps I want to use.
- Please tell me that, will I be able to search for and install the officially released OTA updates such as the 2.3.5 / ICS after I have done S-OFF + Rooted my phone??
If answer to both of the questions above is a "YES"
then plz tell me step by step of how to S-OFF and ROOT my phone (I found multiple ways to Root the phone and now I am confused and not really confident on which way/approach to follow)
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards,
Sky770
If you want to root, do not download the OTA and install!!
You are in a great position, and you can easily root your hboot with the alpharevx.
Do it, you won't regret it.
Also, we can't give you step by step guides... Follow the index links.
Also, you can't install updates after rooted. But you won't need to. We will have the official ICS prerooted before.

ok.. I really have no idea about what happens and what not happens if i do downgrade my HBOOT but I see many people here on XDA done that (downgraded their HBOOT) Can you shed some light on this topic?
Also, I would definitely want to try official 2.3.5 and/or the official ICS release (whenever they release one; around Q3/Q4 2012? ) so is there any* way to install these if I do revolutionary? I would def. like to find these updates via OTA (will my phone detect these from official HTC servers?)
PS: I am trying to stay as long as with official ROM as of now :| so no near future plans to flash my baby with a custom one
Just need the root

Thanks for reading and replying
You will not thank me for this, but for your sake I suggest reading instead of writing. All of the info you're asking for is written in the guides, and people that write the guides don't have enough patience to answer those that don't bother reading and ask the same questions over and over. Writing questions instead of reading FAQs and guides leaves you with less probability of having a good answer or having an answer at all, and clutters the already cluttered forum.

As you are on the old hboot, there is no need of downgrading, that's why I said, do not install the upgrade.
We have a ROM, by Proxuser, which is the rooted version of the OTA with no modifications and will work out pretty well.
Once rooted you will not be able to receive any OTA upgraded, but IMHO, hardly matters, you will get the same and better versions out here.
We already have the leak of ICS build for desire S, and it's pretty fast, forget q3
Also we have very functional sense 4 lite, which is faster than sense 3.6
So again, do the revolutionary, it's quite simple actually for you, and flash the saga 3D,, for a stock experience

Well the beauty of rooting is trying out custom ROMs... I don't think you should root if you don't intend too. You seriously won't regret it. Just take a NAND backup, you can always restore to it if you don't like the custom ROMs.
And as I have said before...
No, you can't get OTAs once rooted, but you can still install these maually, and you will be able to do it way before the update actually hits your phone 'officially'.
As we have said too, you are in a good position. No need to downgrade at all. Your hboot version is the right one.

Right.. When I acually was craving for a droid I was crazy as hell to root n try out new ROMs but... when I got an HTC I was simply hands down n thought not to touch this beauty. HTC Desire S is quite a package at this cheap price + hardware config.
PS: just a last ques. for now: which OS is the recommended one? I do have linux mint 10 32 bit edition installed on my machine; its a bit old.. rarely updated the packages n all AND I have windows 7 ultimate 64 bit edition ..so which one would you recommend me to root with?
Thanks a lot guys.

Well i felt the same too. It's great out if the box, but you can achieve so much more when rooted.
Do it. Also, Windows 7 is easier.

No, that's not what forums are for. You should probably look at the name of the forum and think, what does "-developers" part stand for, and why isn't it called "XDA-users-in-doubt-that-are-too-lazy-to-bother-reading". Your "period" you can use elsewhere.
To your last question: Windows is what the guides are written for, so doing everything on Windows will be better - it won't require you to understand and "translate" everything to Linux.

@sky770... The guys are right, In my opinion it's only worth rooting your device if you plan to try a couple of custom ROM's. You seriously won't regret. HTC have a habit of leaving some of the older devices to "fall & die" without providing updates. Through the hard work and determination of some of these guys on here, You will not only have your handset kept alive but also at the same level as some as HTC's flagship devices.

Has HTC gave S-off to any of their other devices? I really don't think it will happen.
Don't want to jump in too much. But I had to at least say something. I'm curious what you mean when you say s=off will increase development... We will get more accomplished or attract more developers? Either way we said that for... Many, many months with the amaze... When we finally got s =off its been several months since and there has been no increase in development. Only one example but it was enough for me to think that's not the answer that we need

HTC definitely won't give S-OFF. We will probably get it eventually, though. Getting it will not directly make more ROMs, but it will certainly make more people root their devices, which probably will lead to more ROMs.

Not trying to discourage you from building roms but that's just a lame excuse for not doing so now. Do you really think HTC warranty terms will change when we get s-off? Again, lame!

No... have you ever heard of write secureflag 3... you can act like nothing ever happened, and they can never check.

Oh ok thats relocked vs locked. I never had any problems though returning my one s with relocked bootloader but I had to return to T-Mobile and not HTC. Not sure if HTC is strict and checks everything.
I have a one s running viper 1.2 and its amazing on the one s great battery life and performance. This weekend I unlocked and installed the one x viper rom on my big brothers one x and my one s feels way speedier. The one x feels uncomfortable in my hands and looks bulky while the one s is sexy and packed with power. Just wish there was a bit more development for the one s.

HTC has given s-off HTC one s at the big android barbeque yesterday! Hopefully this will help with s-off

What do you mean?
I heard via Twitter that someone won a s off One S at androidbbq.
His Twitter acc is @just_reboot
Maybe some devs could contact him and help him extract the bootloader? Is there a posibility for us to use it then?

No, even though he might have the S-OFF One S, you don't. The permissions are still the same and you won't be able to edit anything on YOUR device. You guys still need to find a method, nothing has changed.

well, since hes the pr guy for team kang and is there with all those guys, im sure they are looking at it. but like the other guy said, itll be no help.
It's a T-Mobile branded One S, black with a red camera ring, but that's not the most interesting part:
Here's a copy of what the Bootloader screen says
*** UNLOCKED ***
VLE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-T-MOB010
HBOOT-2.09.0000
RADIO-1.09ts.50.02.25
OpenDSP-v.31.1.0.45.0815
eMMC-boot
so, uh, yeah....

You're a lucky one, consider yourself extremely lucky. You have S-OFF. Not only that, but you have a crazy bootloader version???
Can you post a screenshot of your Settings > About Phone > Software Information please?
It came with.... stuff. (you'll have to forgive me, I don't want to piss anyone off)
Right now, it has a CM10 nightly.
Send me your phone

Can you go to the original ROM?
It's a 4.0.4 rom, same as any other tmo one s
Can you post a pic? I just wanna make sure you aren't lying, I lost all of my trust in the "One s with NFC" forums :crying:

Dude that's impressive you've got an S-OFF'd device, what the devs have been longing for to get this device underway so to speak. Get in touch with one of the devs here they'd be very interested to hear about your device, maybe they can arrange something to figure out based on your phone how to get S-OFF for everyone...
Ah yet another thread about a magic device and this one with both CM10 and stock 4.0.4 on it. It's magic I say!
Sorry about the confusion, let me try to clear things up without telling too much. The device came with a stock 4.0.4 ROM when it was handed to me, I quickly rooted and loaded CM10 simply because I prefer that to sense. I'm not going to show a picture because I was very lucky to get this device, and I don't want to piss off anyone at HTC. As for sharing with a dev to help with s-off, if anyone wants to PM me, I'll be happy to help short of sending my device out.

How exactly does taking a picture of the bootloader have negative consequences for you? It's not like HTC is going to send a hit squad to get the phone back.
Anyway hopefully a dev can figure out how to s-off based on how yours is.

Gentleman's got a point, this is a developer forum, screenshots of unreleased devices, modded devices and S-OFF-d devices that are not supposed to be this way are common here. Heck, even if we vote this thread to feature on the Portal and it had a screenshot, HTC still wouldn't ask for the phone back. This isn't Apple blur out the rest if you want, only way to get devs attention is to post screens to prove you're legit
Ohh i got it too . I can write all of these lines. A screen shot will tell us the truth.
If u know how to flash CM 10,that means u have some knowlegde about Android, Modding things, root ....... It can't be said that HTC 'll take it back.
One more,no serial nummers, Imei, personal datas are requested to post.Just the screen of bootloader. It'll help all the dev to come near to S-OFF,which we all need.
Regards.
P.s: correct me if i'm wrong.sr for my English.

A screenshot will not help anyone.
Even physical access to the device will probably not help developing a method to s-off other devices.
I don't think the OP worries that HTC get angry with him, but rather with their employee or subcontractor who got him this. It doesn't matter whether or not this worry is justified.
There is no reason to doubt that it's true. This is not the first out of the box s-off device in the wild. And even if it isn't true, that's just too bad for him and nobody else.
Also, the whole thread seems a bit pointless. The OP didn't really ask anything: What kind of OneS is this? Uhm yeah...I guess he is just really happy having s-off and wants us all to be equally happy for him.
So here:
Hey groovechild, you're so lucky getting an s-off device! I'm really happy for you. :good:

The weirdest thing isn't S-OFF, but the HBOOT version number.
What is the dd command to extract HBOOT? Could he post it?
