I decided to bounty for S-off because once we have it, we won't need anything else.
Oh really, well I'm so mad, I had one rooted and everything then I drooped it and the screen cracked, so I got a new one. !!!!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
So if s off is off then we can root?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
S off is to remove "s" from all displyed fonts, including the keyboard. E.g. so=o, stop=top. Htc's misuse if the letter is sickening.

I personally think if anyone was working on s-off, their efforts would be better spent working on root.
Did Yall see the procedure for s-off on the att vivid? It's called the wire trick, because you literally have to use a piece of wire and physically short some piece of hardware to achieve s-off! And it took so long to devise this plan, the phone was virtually obsolete by the time they released the process.
HTC leaves root up to att, but s-off is htc. Att sells a service, they don't sell software. They just happen to dapple in code to provide more $$ for the bottom line, but up until this last ota they had not done a very good job from what I understand. This would certainly be obtainable.
Feel free to start a bounty and get to work. Nobody's stopping anyone.

The long and the short of it is quite simple. This device on At&T is the only Evita that doesn't have sanctioned bootloader unlock. It doesn't look like we're going to get it either.
With our development community being so small and s-off methods being similar across multiple htc devices, I think we have a better shot at getting it. After we do AT&T can suck it.

I am bouncing back and forth between my S2 and HOX until my disconnect date for Sprint. That said, I feel confident in this dev community, small or not, to do some killer stuff with this phone.
I have 27 more days to decide on keeping this phone or dropping the extra $100 on a GS3 or exchanging for an Atrix HD. I have always been an underdog kind of person, so I feel good about sticking with this phone for better or worse. Get that S-Off and like Gunny said, AT&T can suck it then.

So I have read several places using minfreemanager helps with HOX multitask issues somewhat. My question is to what extent? Can you say use web browser, answer a text, then come back to same spot? What about same thing with gaming, streaming music in background and using gps? I really really love this phone, AMAZING display and build design. I am even willing to deal with the 10gb HD, but I stream music, read ebooks and use GPS alot. I just left sprint and want this phone sooo bad. Any input or personal experience on the matter will be appreciated and +1'd thanks!
A lot of people looking, must be.wondering the same thing...

Thanks for the heads up. Anyways..how's your multitasking after.flashing roms?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Cleanrom with the multitasking mod definitely helps a lot, but it's still not perfect. You can run more apps than stock, but some apps still reload after a certain period of inactivity. Without source, I think that's the best we have for now.

cleanRom with multitasking gives you 4 or 5 apps running at the same time..so thats pretty sufficient for me..anyway..you can also use aokp or aosp Rom based so that you can enjoy multutasking as it was suppose to be

Yeah, ask for the firmware number. Anything but 2.20 is rootable. 2.20 is not currently rootable.
Development is not as active as the most popular/active devices, but still plenty of awesome ROMs both AOSP and Sense based, by some really great devs. Just check out the Dev forum.
I got mine for 600$ before as well, im not biased or anything but you can never go wrong with this device.
Yes, 220 is a steal dog!!!!!!! U would b dumb if u didnt jump all over that! If u dont want it, give me the info, n ill buy it! Lol! Development 4 this phone is just fine. Theres plenty of roms to choose from, aosp, or sense. I personally am running viper rom 1.2.4 and i couldnt b happier! Ok maybe i would b if jellybean were out!! But the ics viper rom is sick! Also we have kernels, oc capable, splash screens, and tons of mods! Do yourself a favor n jump on it bro, u wont b let down, guarenteed!

I ended up buying the phone for 220. Bit found that there was a dead spot on the bottom right of the screen I couldn't press the p until I calibrated the keyboard. So I think I'll end up replacing the digitizer that's what I get for being in a hurry and wanting to drink with my friends

Maybe we just need someone new to look at it, they might find something we (our community) didn't notice

Didn't mean it in a bad sense. The one x.devs are doing more then me, I don't have a distorted view on the matter at all.
I had an iPhone for years, sometimes it takes a big collaboration to find a hole, exploit it, and package it for mass consumption. I just really want root, android shouldn't be locked down

I have an idea. Are there any Chinese dev sites we could petition to that might just have an HTC employee willing to leak us out some root love for the bounty? Or maybe they could help with the S-Off/Bootloader locks? Just a thought.

I don't want no extra for it than its value. And to everyone else I'd rather it go to someone who is actually going to make use of the s-off or just wants an s-off device, which is why it's not on amazon or eBay. Hence why I asked if there was anything like xda mp anywhere
