Did you or your friend achieve full S-OFF? If so, how? It's kind of a big deal. I personally don't think you mean Security off to security on on the bootloader; maybe you mean stock recovery?

I think he meant "unlocked" bootloader, not S-OFF.
The only thing he wanted was to reclock it.
Thread should be closed as he did what he whanted to do by himself.
He's clearly stated it though twice that it was s off and now s on u can't get mixed up lol either were getting trolled or he doesn't know the benefits of s off lool

He is most likely a noob and doesn't know the difference between s-on/off and a unlocked bootloader

Some phones (very few) are shipped s off. If it is so, then just keep it that way and update through xda. We get all the new stuff anyway

If he really had s-off it wouldn't matter cause he wouldn't need to relock the bootloader he could flash ANYTHING he wanted. oh well thread topic looked cool for a second. Anyways...

Just think it's a noob looking for attention. If he did want S-ON, he would've replied. I think he pretty damn well knows what S-OFF is, just wanted some attention for a few days.
He did replied to the first responce to his question and then the semi flames started for him not knowing any better. Noob for sure. He will know the difference now or and hopefully search before posting next time. Hopefully by then he knows the true status of his phone that's just something we have to deal with during this stage of a new phone. Once development picks up and there are more threads and more people posting useful information for the noobs to learn from it will make things a lot better.

Hey everyone im just sold my one s and bought one x but one x is not good as one s im truely sure about that worse battery life worse user interface performance maybe just screen is better i really missing my one s anyway my question is WHY one s's development thread is so weak (?) one s deserve better.
Yay, So it's true, the one s is better!!
And about the dev.. we have less because everyone thinks that the ONE X is better :\

Development will thrive when S-OFF starts, I know I might try making a ROM if we get S-OFF, only reason I'm not doing it now is because I don't want to render my warranty void.

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
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
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!

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.

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.
Hey what's up guys this is my first time posting in thus forum.. I'm not new to HTC devices, not new to flashing ROMs and what not.. I have a cousin that recently got dooped on a crappy trade, and now she's using an Inspire 4g. I've searched you guys threads, its hard to tell what's what, but I have a phone that's having a random reboot about every 7 minutes or so. So of course I factory reset from boot loader, it is s-on with 2.00.0030 hboot. Its running android 2.3.5 with software 3.20.502.52 71ord.
Can anyone point me to the most recently updated RUU for this software, or point me to a recently updated root method? I see you guys have s-off.. That would be sick also lol.. Any help is MUCH appreciated.

That Is the latest att update. To root that device, there's only one tool: The advanced ace hack kit..find it here:

K I had already downloaded that.. I've read a whole bunch on that hack and I don't want to be stranded with a bricked device that isn't mine. Just looking to root, unlock, install recovery and flash some aosp goodness.. I'm no stranger to fastboot
Or would you have any ideas for my random reboots? I'm noticing a pattern of it rebooting when it sleeps.. Maybe 2 minutes after its locked

Have You flashed the insecure boot imege from the site first? If You did, Check that in the hack kit folder You have the zergrush file in the tools>bin folder. If it Is not there, then disable the anti virus And re download the hack kit agAin
Thank for reply but I'm confused.. how am I able to flash something with bootloader locked and no root? I don't remember seeing that in the effin manual lol. I'll do some more research and give it another go. I read it's more successful with abuntu so ill try it when I boot it up

When the official ATT update comes out with 4.2.2 and Sense 5+, is there a danger in accepting the update with my phone in its present state?
Thanks,

No as you have custom recovery. Just wait for a rooted flashable zip.

HTC themselves did say they intend to update the one x to 4.2.2 sense 5 BUT technically, I don't believe they specified the dual core version so who knows.
HTC is Great with build quality and design but they are SO SLOW with updates. by the time Sense 5 comes out it will probably be time for a new phone anyway.

You should consider any update offered by HTC as a moderate to high risk to a modded phone or a phone you want to mod.
HTC do not support a phone once it has been modded.
Any update may brick your device, prevent you unlocking, rooting, modding etc.
That said with supercid and soff the risks are reduced but not eliminated. Any update expects your phone to be stock, if it is not any amount of unknown things could go wrong.
If/when an update comes out you should only accept the update if you are willing to accept a bricked device. The risk reduces if others are saying they succeeded, but sometimes it takes time before it is fully clear of any quirks to updating. Eg JB with supercid on s-on AT&T devices caused many lost devices.

I doubt you could fathom the amount of time and work that goes into rom development. Many roms are developed by teams. imagio is one person, let's not create any more pressure than the pressure he puts on himself. That's how you push someone into stopping development. If you really want to push him to do timely updates the best way is with frequent, large donations.
Twistedddx, while your post is 100% accurate, I think it's pretty safe to assume that it will fall on deaf ears for the type of people within this community. Personally, while this phone is just perfect as it is right now, a brick is just the perfect reason to upgrade lol

Thank you for your answer to my question. I didn't realize that a simple question would generate so much angst.
I read about the bricked phones with S-On and SuperCID, but I haven't read anything about S-OFF and superCID with the update.
Double post. Can't delete. Sorry!
Must be s-off. Supercid is not required anymore.
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip hboot.zip
fastboot reboot
if you like the mod donate a dollar gotta get a metal plate put in my foot. Be nice to walk again.haha shoot me a pm if ya have questions or a request.
This zip will update you to hboot 2.22 and partition layout will remain the same. So no more modifying scripts to flash a new cyanogenmod nightly
# Red text removed
# Pink entering recovery text removed
# will show you are S-on even though clearly you are not
# Tampered flag removed
# works with revone to lock and relock
# will show "locked" instead of "relocked" but will show "unlocked" just for convenience
You could use this hboot to send it in for warranty repair.haha noone would be able to tell the difference from hboot anyways
What exactly is it for? What will change when I flash it?
Gesendet von meinem HTC One mini mit Tapatalk 4
This is to remove the red text saying this is for developers etc on the htc white screen at boot? If so great! But am I going to have to reinstall my rom afterwards because of the boot loader locking and unlocking? I have s off and super cid and using Magio R3 with jmz kernel and twrp.
Also I'm currently using my phone with the boot loader unlocked. Can I continue to use my phone with an unlocked boot loader after using this. Cheers!

Don't get me wrong here guys, but what is it about a little sentence in a pink font that makes you long for it to be gone? Is it worth the risk of creating One Mini brick?
cmvienneau has given great instructions, and credit is due - XDA is all about innovation, mods, customisation, and it's a beautiful thing!
The reason I am posting this, is because a couple of years ago, a guide for getting rid of the Samsung big Yellow triangle shown on boot if the phone is modded had a fat finger mistake in it, and about 20 people had a smartbrick.
If you want to get rid of cosmetic things like the pink legal warning on the mini, PLEASE make sure you KNOW what you are doing, and the potential consequences if you do not.
Again, great work cmvienneau!
I agree completely. I actually bricked on mini making this.lol but now it's done and worth it I'm oCD bout little things like that. If you brick it. One year warranty so I say brick away this mod works through trial and error. I currently using it. And 4.3 s-off and unlocked.
Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
I'm also very OCD about little things like this, everything has to be perfect for me. Though I am worried about bricking my beloved phone. I'm 50/50 on trying this out, but knowing what I'm like I most likely will.
one little thing I want to be clear on though is wether or not this will wipe my phone? I ask because in your last step you say to unlock using the token thru htc dev, and usually this wipes the phone. does this mod skip this phase? I know you said it won't wipe I just want to make sure. Cheers.
