We almost have 2nd init working, so the bootloader unlock isn't needed.

Ok, terminology nazi here:
2nd-init is what we already use.
2nd-boot only works without the radio (no phone).
I don't think there has been any success yet getting the radio working even on A853 where 2nd-boot was pioneered. Baring a miracle, bootloader unlock is most definitely desired.
Yes, I meant 2nd-boot. Thanks for correcting me
I get confused every time b/w 2nd-init and 2nd-boot. When if finally works, I probably won't be confused anymore
I don't see what's the big deal.Official Froyo.... whatever. I have fully working ROM with excellent preformance and fjkernal.
Go eat my shorts Motorola. And ty to Dexter, Khal, Mioze, Fj, reverendkjr and everybody else who are responsible for this.
Hi this is Cincinnati bell this on their own and you care remember we still have same 2.1 kernel possible unlocked bootloader would be really but for Motorola they really suck.

Hats off to CincyBell
CincyBell making me proud! Hats off to them.... You don't see Verizon/T-Mo/Att doing this! they are doing this without Motorola's support. Wonder if moto will reverse course & offer their own upgrade once they are embarrassed by Cincybell.
Hope they include an updated Kernal, that will only make the Dexter/Khal roms even better!

Good news.
I hope there will be some new advantages. Meaning that there are more possibilities excluding froyo itself.
Otherwise I would prefer v4 rom
Hope this update will have new 2.6.32 kernel

[Q] New update to Jelly bean and HTC one S

Can anyone help? I have downloaded a new update to the HTC One S which is the new Sense 4.1 and the jelly bean update. Now I tried to install but
kept rebooting me into bootloader. I tried to Root my phone once and managed to unlock my bootloader but wasnt able to install a working recovery on my phone so I just relocked the bootloader. So What Im looking to do is either to find someone to help me root my phone by helping unlock my relocked bootloader and help me to fully root my phone and to install a new rom or to help me install the new update on my One S.
My Device is an S3 chipset. I think ofcourse, as my Cpu runs to up to 1.7 mhz... Can anyone help me do one or the other?
Lollll. This is a funny post. Have fun getting flamed man. I hope you get burned.

Moved To Q&A And Cleaned.​
OK the OP made a mistake, but really some of the responses are just out of order. Its only a moderators job to resolve forum issues, so i ask all just to report and move on, it will be sorted.​
So you are the first person on planet earth to recieve the jellybean ota? Lucky u

My advice for you is to go at a MobileServiceCenter and for aprox 15 euro you can get this job done. Also, for sure you don't have Jelly Bean, but just the last version of 4.0.4. ICS with 4.1 Sense for S3 One S.

[Q] How to install custom ROM?

I have a Samsung Infuse 4G running CM10 so I'm not totally oblivious of the ROM flashing process. But since TF300T is a bit different, after couple hours of research this is my conclusion of what I need to do.
I'm already running JB so...
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Install CWM
3) Root
4) Flash ROM
However, since ASUS is having problem with their unlock .APK, I'm screwed and therefore can't install custom ROM ever. Is that true? Should I be looking for option to sell my TF300 and get a different device?

Why it's not helpful, can you explain. It will be good.
Cause you're on JB, not unlocked and not rooted.
So unlock your device, with Asus unlock tool, install TWRP...
and.... Just apply the rest of the process

Bad answer.
It's helpful, but in your case, you have a problem with the Asus Unlock tool.

Hi.

Please use it if you like.
Hi, I went to the link you posted and on that page there was a link to an unlock guide for the J Butterfly.
I'm not to knowledgeable about this kind of thing but looking through both the unlock guides they seem identical.
Can someone confirm that the unlock technique and guides for the DNA and the J Butterfly are the same?
Here is the link for the J Butterfly unlock guide (they even say it is borrowed from the DNA guide)

Any help would be appreciated because I tend on getting this phone in the next few days and would like to unlock/root and hopefully backup my phones ROM so I can start playing around.
Thank you.
Sorry to bump this but I am wondering if anyone can give me some insight. Please.

One problem, HTC J Butterfly are locked to japanese operator. So u wont be able to use it in other country then Japan.
I don't care if I can only use it in Japan. I just want to be able to root and be able to backup my rom and install custom roms and mods. ^_^

Well, just tried the DNA method and ran into an error. The guy (jcase) behind the DNA unlock looked into it for a short while and will hopefully figure it out. Until then, looks like we're stuck. In that Japanese link, it seems like they got it to work...but I'm not so sure, so I left a comment and maybe that will bring up something.
That method above didn't work for me either
got into stuck as others did when I tried to write mmcblk0p5
dd if=/sdcard/CIDBLOCK.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
/dev/block/mmcblk0p5: cannot open for write: Permission denied
Can I ask where you guys got your J butterflies?
I live in Osaka and they are not on sale here yet.

The HTC J Butterfly is out in Taiwan on 25th December 2012.
great
looking forward to the report whether it's bootloader is unlockable or not
im glad to see people discussing this phone as it looks and feels amazing. if anyone finds a safe and easy method to root please share! thanks
Does any one think that xda will open its own forum for this phone?
I hope some of the big dogs on here get this phone because it's so slick. Even determined iPhone users admit how beautiful this phone is!

Probably no separate forum for this device, I would like one as well. I may open up a thread myself once unlock is possible and the RUU becomes available.
I'm no big dog, but I'm trying to learn.

Agreed, I love this phone. I recorded my friend's performance using the Butterfly and it looked absolutely beautiful on my TV in 1080p.
Having an SD card slot is also awesome

If someone can help me by just indicating some links. Thanks!
