What 's that ? How to do it ? What it will cost ? Needed for what ?
Basic questions that you will get an answer by searching on xda or googling.
Soff is mean security off. No any restrictions on any phone partition. You can do anything and you can bricked your phone easily if you don't understand what you do.
How to do, several methods ; firewater, sunshine, etc some success but some not. But for E8 suggest to do Soff using sunshine with cost $25

If i s-off my device doest the sim-lock restritions get to 0 ( removed )? Can i get acess to sim-unlock code with s-off ?
(I've read on forums that s-off removes sim-lock restritions but it was on a XTC clip forum, i don't know if it is the same with alpha rev )

have you found out about this yet would be interested to know
i have s-off by alpharevx then applied the new ENG-HBOOT and simlock still here after both, so i think that the answer is "no". maybe some wiser forum members would offer us a better response, for now this is what i can give you from my experience
cheers!

Hello everyone, you may have heard of my unlocking tool for windows. It unlocks HTC devices and i am slowly but surely adding support for new devices. The sensation happened to be next on the list. I will be adding it to the official GUI app once this is confermed, so for now it is a batch file that needs testing. If you dont trust me for any reason, just open up the zip and view whats inside the batch file, i have nothing to hide Please report back any errors, not just "it dont work" I will ask the mods to look at those types of posts.

unlock sim? Bootloader or else? Please provide more details
Bootloader without voiding the warranty (htc voids warranty apon unlock in countries that dont forbid it eg USA) original thread located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576844
ok if unlock hboot 1.27 is very good news for sensation users but i can't help because i already have unlocked bootloader. Thanks for your work
in theory this will unlock any device in which the s-off method's root works. Jupno bear i think its called? I can change root methods, but the method inside is definitively solid enough to unlock with root.
Thanks for wanting to include the Sensation with your tool simonsimons34 we can always use good utilities to make unlocking and modding our devices easier. But just to let you know the Sensation already has two great tools. Here is kgs1992's Super Utitlity and the article featuring it just yesterday in the Portal. The Sensation also has the HTC Sensation 4G All-In-One Toolkit by hasoon2000 that is stickied in the Sensation Android development forum.
This does something the others cant :/ which is why i included it. This works for any hboot revision and any rom as long as you have root (or can get it with the method i icluded -thanks jcase for finding it) This Unlocks the phone WITHOUT the need to contact htcdev and submit a token. Sure it doesnt S-off or anything, but for new phones or phones which there are no ways to install roms except by contacting HTCDEV.com and voiding your warranty, this is a life saver. Just check out what it does before you say its already been done please. I mean no offence to you, just however am annoyed you posted saying its been done before you looked into what it does

Sorry man I did not mean to offend. I can not actually use your tool because I am already S-off with Revolutionary Hboot 1.17.1111. I downloaded your tool and yes this is awesome that your tool unlocks the bootloader. But did you actually look at the links I gave you? the Super Utitlity allows you to use Juopunutbear S-off without having to use HTC Dev Unlock first by utilizing the download from Unlimited.io (scroll to the bottom) wich is the website for the Juopunutbear S-off and it supports all Hboot versions, . So even though the Super Utility does not unlock the bootloader forsay, still the ability to not have to use HTC Dev has been done. But at the same time it has not been done. I am in no way trying to criticize you or your tool. What you have done is great and amazing work and most definitely has and deserves a place her. This tool will only make things easier for some users if not all. I just want to keep the facts staight is all.
Quick question. I need to supercid my phone and the only method i can find is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516911#post26516911. My question is that is there no other method to supercid my phone because this method seems way too risky for a noob like me. Also if there is no method i'm already rooted but it specifies that you start from scratch, so do i need to relock my bootloader for this to work?

Super cid has not yet been achieved for the one s and yea some people have a s-off one s but those are phones that were shipped with that so if you got one you're lucky but if not then your just gonna have to wait. As for the method idk most people say it worked for them but they risked bricking their phones and successfully s-offed their phone. Hopefully I help clear somethings for you

I just tried a method for the one x which apparently works for the one s too. I managed to do it but now i have no service on my phone

What are the pro's and con's of each? What do I need S-Off for other than firmware updates?
I'm not a developer, so all my flashing/unlocking etc. just comes from reading directions. If I don't need to S-Off i won't because I wouldn't want the increased risk if I dont need to.
Back in the days of the HTC Rezound, i could do everything S-On, the only thing was S-Off would make things easier bc you wouldn't need a PC to flash a ROM

Right now VZW blocks bootloader unlocks via HTC dev. So you cannot unlock and root.
Right now on 4.4.4 no temp root tool/exploit exists in the wild.
Fire water will not work on 4.4.4.
Fire water will work on SOME 4.4.3 devices.
Fire water will not be continued.
Sunshine will work on ALL 4.4.3 devices.
Sunshine will be updated to work on 4.4.4
Sunshine unlocks and S-off's in one shot. Allowing you to be able to upgrade/downgrade firmware and also repair your phone more easily if you mess up.
This is basically to ask if anyone knows any method of achieving s-off on htc one m-8 for free?
since firewater is no longer available and sunshine cost 25$ , i am not able to achieve s-off on my device.
Anyone knowing any method of obtaining s-off for free , please revert back.
