What the hell kind of One S do I have? - HTC One S

It's a T-Mobile branded One S, black with a red camera ring, but that's not the most interesting part:

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.

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:

Paul is in the game!

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

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

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.

Amazing! Sorry for doubting you. Did you happen to check if S-OFF was present before unlocking at htcdev.com? And just to be clear, you didn't run any other method beyond what's explicitly described on htcdev.com?
yes..checked it was s-on before...
I did a lot of other crap though...but it shouldn't be related...
and last night I finally want to root my phone...so may as well unlock the bootloader...too
and here this is what i got...

Nah, he said it's unbranded. So it's RUNNING on AT&T's network, but it's not an AT&T phone. As HTC has said (in not so many words), AT&T's the one that doesn't want an unlocked bootloader, it may be that Rogers doesn't have the same restrictions.

But either way it shouldn't be S-OFF should it? If it was unlocked through HTCdev it would still be S-ON.

Right. I've never heard of htcdev providing S-OFF before. Didn't do it on my One X, didn't do it on my Jetstream. This is quite curious indeed. Maybe I'll try unlocking again.

Is it at all possible that you may have used the Nexus AIO tool to try to unlock the bootloader? i say this because this section and theres have been easy to mistake if you just CTRL + F to find the phone. I found myself in the wrong forum mistakenly :| also maybe not having the ADB version different but having a different set of tools might have something. Maybe (no offense ) you mistakenly using the wrong tool might have been a godsend!!!
can you provide us with a logcat and a whole onslaught of information about what software you used and what versions they are.
Further more, i dont know if you do this but i tend to use super tool packages as a workaround from having to download the sdk and all that since the tools are included in there. if so could you send me a list of the files you added to the folders and what they are??
Thank you so much in advance
nice!
if this is all true, then please share, this will help a lot of people, has anyone else been able to do this?
and maybe i'm being dumb, but is the at&t version very different?

The only thing he wanted was to reclock it.

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.

[Q] How to unroot, s-off my HTC Sensation?

Hi all,
I've googled and read some threads on how to make my phone back to 'normal' - by which I mean how it was before I decided to start messing with it and put CM10.1 on it but the guides etc are a little too technical for me and I want to make sure I don't make any errors!
Can someone please tell me what I need to do or point me in the right direction so I know how to unroot my phone and have regular stock HTC sensation ROM on it again (whatever version of android it's meant to be on).
I think I made my phone s-off so do I need to reverse this? Also I'm on o2 in the UK if that makes a difference?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

If you flashed the stock RUU and just left it at that, I think they would be unlikely to notice, or know. (CEX)
If they did somehow find out, you could always go back a few days later to a different employee, this time with the phone S-On.

Hi,
CEX do a complete check on the phone to see if it works.
Run a RUU,to put it all on stock,but leave the s-off.
I am sure they do not care about that,and you may brick your phone trying to get it back to s-on.
Thanks guys.
Basically I'm just thinking that I'm going to make my phone stock again as I'm starting to get some issues with it now but I think it may be to do with the fact that the phone is getting old too as appose to just bugs in the ROM that I use so for the time being I will stick stock ROM back on and keep using that until I get a new phone.
I will leave it as s-off for now as I'm not taking it to be sold just yet anyway.
Thanks again everyone.

Hi,
I think that is what he said in his last post.
And that link you gave would be perfect for that.
Even if he does sell it,he should keep the s-off.
Chances are,the next owner would appreciate it.
CEX would not be bothered by it.
And it does not affect the phone in any way,unless you return it for warranty.
I think in a month or two my warranty would have ran out anyway as by the end of this summer I would have owned the phone for 2 years.
I suppose that has made the decision for me...

S-OFF confirmed on villec2

A long time ago I saw in one post of member JCarlosPP that his phone is S-OFF.
So i send him message and today i recieve answer:
"Yes, it is S-OFF. I bought it on Ebay and I got it like that. I have no information whatsoever how to make it S-OFF."
Interesting situation, to my knowledge has not found a method about S-OFF on ville c2, at least for one who is known here on xda.
I would be grateful for your views and any additional information.
Sometimes HTC forgets to S-ON their phones before shipping. Two years ago I bought a new Sensation in a local shop and it was S-OFF right out the box. So probably he was just lucky.
Cool.....

Not directly but for developers it's a huge help.
Also you it won't be necessary to flash the kernel seperately. Now it can be flashed in one step. An you will be able to modify your bootloader screen (not a huge advantage) and more functions could be implemented into recobery.
And don't forget that you'll be able to get supercid and branded phones could be easily debranded.
