[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Well I tried everything that I could to try to edit the unlock_code.bin file.

I noticed something that is strange though.

I opened the binary file and viewed it as ANSI and checked the zone identifier.

I found a zonetransfer zoneid=3 in address 000017.

That's actually the only thing that can be viewed.

We may be able to change it but I don't think that it'll do any good because checking the attributes of the binary it states that it is compressed, sparsed and encrypted.

I was digging for hours when not arguing with a certain member over PM when it seems that it might be able to be decompiled with some good C++ knowledge, lots of free time and trial and error. Unfortunately I don't have the first two and sure as hell don't want to mess up my own device.

If anyone has any legitimate ideas I'm open to them.
[HTC Amaze 4G] killathenoob:
Ok I just bought my HTC Amaze 4G today (was released today in canada fro Telus) after reading lots on here about bootloader unlock and s-off I have a few questions

I have had many HTC devices in the past all of which I've s-offed unlocked rooted etc. So I'm not new to this process. I'v even created and shared a few of the themes I've created for the Sensation 4G

Does anyone know if AlphaRev/HTC or anyne is even working on trying to s-off our device?

If so what ar ethe chances of it happening?

and should I wait for it or should I do the HTC bootloader unlock?

I'm ony asking because I'm a flash a maniac and I love modifing Roms to my liking and creating themes to share with everyone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
umm i talked to revolutionary team about it but they said htc patched the exploit in the hboot and it would be a while before they find another one :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
TRANSLATION IN FLASHAHOLIC LANGUAGE:

Unlock your bootloader and root because it might not happen anytime soon.
[HTC Amaze 4G] killathenoob:
Lol ok one more question will there be any workaround to flash custom kernels/radios/boot splash?
[HTC Amaze 4G] BIGMOH:
Ahan! now i know why my phone was LOCKED and s-off when i got it initially :)

Thanks for the explanation Binary!
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
Lucky lol I wish mine was

Can some one pull the new hboot from.a telus amaze
[HTC Amaze 4G] killathenoob:
Do I need to unlock/root to do that? And how would I go about doing it?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
Directions on first post and you only need to be temp rooted/permrooted to do it

thanks again if you get it pulled :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] killathenoob:
OK ill be busy most of the day today but ill try to get it for you tonight. Anything I can do to help get our device s-off I'm there
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
no but if you want the eng s-off i can help you with that :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] BIGMOH:
I tried to do what was said in the 1st post:

dunno if this is new aswell .............. LOL

Screen shot of my boot-loader:

okay bit of a snag here......... i get this message in adb
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
i got that one all ready thanks though :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] BIGMOH:
Oh okay then that's cool! :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] killathenoob:
What the difference between eng s-off and s-off?
[HTC Amaze 4G] killathenoob:
I sent you my hboot.img

I believe it was 1.90.006 ship s-off

I hope it helps.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
New hboot img added :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
a little update on s-off progress i got my hboot to downgrade so i think we are getting closer :D

phone noow at 1.90.0002 :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] lgtsanev:
Brilliant! :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] killathenoob:
I'm sorry I dont know what I was thinking thsi was ship s-on not off......sorry :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
its all good i figured a way to downgrade your hboot :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] alx294:
so when you downgrade hboot is the exploit available again? whats the next step from here? sorry if im askin too many questions man if you want me to stop say the word haha
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
im talking to revolutinary team to see if the exploit is in the 1.90.0002 one that was made september 1st
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
also something else interesting i found is that you have to be fastboot oem lock (if your htc unclocked to run ruus wierd)
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
maybe some good stuff i got the ruu for 1.36 too so maybe :D

http://pastebin.com/KmKe6keEa
[HTC Amaze 4G] daswahnsinn:
Is it possible to modify a hboot from another phone that has s-off then use the downgrade method and obtain s-off? I was reading the AlphaRev1.8 page and was inspired to think of this.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
nope that would cause a brick nono
[HTC Amaze 4G] daswahnsinn:
Well let me ask, Can the hboot be flashed as of yet?

What's the worst thing that can happen if I ran the latest revolutionary?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
revolutionary wont run wrong phone model and only way to flash is a hboot is to use the ruu's becuase they are htc signed.

what i need is a htc leaked ruu like 1.01 or something older
[HTC Amaze 4G] daswahnsinn:
I'm trying all hole bunch of things mainly trying not to brick. I'm still unrooted, I can wait, this will come soon.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
no it wont not according to the revolutionary team unless any one of you guys work for tmobile/htc that have a older leak for me pm me and i will take a look at what i can do
[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
I really have no idea what I'm doing or talking about but....is this of any use?

http://androidadvices.com/unlock-boot-loader-htc-amaze-4g/
[HTC Amaze 4G] chrischoi:
No, because there is a walkthrough on the main Amaze Development Forum.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
nope that no good
[HTC Amaze 4G] PlankLongBeard:
So Wait... After I did the Whole Unlock Method Via HTC... I Still Have S-On? :confused:

I Saw it in the Bootloader Menus and Was Kind of Concerned After I Saw Xboarder Wrote that You Can NEVER Get S-Off After Using that Method... but it Can Be Reversed via "fastboot oem unlock" ala Nexus One Style! So Is this Correct and What Could be Done?

Are We Still Waiting to Get S-Off for Everyone? :confused:

Thanks in Advance!
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
It can be reversed revolution posted **** with out knowing it can be still soff when you htc unlock it and you can relock via the comand you said or my tool
[HTC Amaze 4G] chrischoi:
I was reading through and just wanted to confirm. As of 11/11/2011, we are still waiting. Correct?
[HTC Amaze 4G] gaww:
Yes - and nothing on the horizon.

Unlock boot loader is making most things possible, but have to do some things a little different (flash kernels main one).
[HTC Amaze 4G] F033x:
yes. it seems the htc dev method to unlock the bootloader is the current root option. no s-off as of yet, though its a day short of the phone being out for a month so I'm not too worried
[HTC Amaze 4G] xManMythLegend:
Are current methods enough to have a full AOSP ICS rom?

i.e fully get rid of Sense ?

Im starting to get confused as to what exactly cant be accesses with "S" on or off. ((all my previous phones /tabs were pure android ))
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
you will beable to do that :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] chrischoi:
So I assume you guys are recommending to just go ahead and unlock bootloader and one step root.

Thanks for answering my dumb questions.

Keep up the amazing work xboarder56! You're awesome.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
ya or you be waiting at least a fwe months and thats if a exploit is found if

be revolutionary team doesnt really need to find it as bad as sensation because we can install custom roms
[HTC Amaze 4G] neoissuperman:
is HBOOT-1.90.0004 been given to you XBOARDER?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
yep got it thanks though man :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] neoissuperman:
no problem, i work at tmo and checked our demo.... thought i would try.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
ok thanks man again :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] BstabKillaR:
So..i'm assuming it would just be best to Unlock the bootloader via HTC Dev tool, and just slap quik sense on it? If I go that route can I put Clockwork Mod recov on my amaze? And what am I losing out on by going this way and not waiting for S-Off?
[HTC Amaze 4G] gaww:
After unlocking the bootloader and rooting, you can install and run ROM Manager. I recommend flashing Recovery without having ROM manager. Just install it, as theirs has some issues (will not complete "fix permissions" and a few other minor issues).

As for missing out - you have to live with stock bloated ROM and you may never see S+OFF. I am getting better performance and much better battery life (aided by SETCPU - which needs root access I believe) and have tried all the ROMs (on quiksense right now) and there will be more.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BstabKillaR:
Ok, well I have 2 amazes. So i'm going to unlock the boot loader on 1 and root it. Is there any links to a tutorial on how to unlock the bootloader & root? And also to get the recovery w out ROM Manager? I'm new to the Amaze rooting & stuff. I'm coming from the sensation which was super easy to root and everything, so i'm a bit lost here. :confused:

hey i have unlocked my BL with HTC and for some reason i still have S-On but on top of the screen in Pink it says *** UNLOCKED *** i installed CWM and xboarders rom and is working fine but why i dont have s-off ? Hboot 1.90.0004

Oh and after Unlocking the BL on HTC's site it asked me if i wanted to relock the bl just use this CMD .. i dont remember what it was though..

---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

i looked up the command on htc's website and its fastboot oem lock

---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

i did the command and now it says on the top *** RELOCKED *** lol WTH i have done this on my sensation but this is weird ...
[HTC Amaze 4G] JaiaV:
HTC's unlock doesn't give you S-OFF
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2sh0rt:
Did you read the OP at all? S-OFF and Unlock are 2 completely different things! There is NO S-OFF for the Amaze at this time; however, you can do just about everything with unlock that you could with S-OFF currently, it just may take a few xtra steps. You can currently install Recovery, Flash Roms from recovery and flash kernels using fastboot. S-OFF is a pipe dreams at this time.... for now be happy with Unlock cuz it's really all you need to get the job done.
[HTC Amaze 4G] M9x3mos:
Wondering if anyone can verify? I have heard that unlocking bootloader also reports to T-Mobile and Asurion and cancels insurance and all warranty on the device?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Call Asurion and ask them.
[HTC Amaze 4G] djxspike:
Unlocked BL vs S-OFF

Ok.

Unlocked BL isn't S-OFF. I grok that.

What can't you do with an Unlocked BL that you can do with S-OFF?

Is it just that S-OFF makes things easier, but the same functionality exists with an Unlocked BL just with more hoops to jump through?

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

...I'll look into this...
[HTC Amaze 4G] MentalDeath:
Pretty sure this has already been answered but AFAIK yes. With S-OFF you have more functionality such as custom splash screens and being able to flash kernels via recovery, and with S-ON and an unlocked bootloader you can also flash kernels however I think it has to be via command line with ADB.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
new hboot comming soon eng 1.90.0002
[HTC Amaze 4G] Willieumm:
What does that mean to us?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
not much just another eng hboot i guess if we ever do get s-off
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
What i really need is a signed eng hboot if anyone of you guys can get that you would be awesome :D but would have to work in htc probably but i would pay to have one of those signed eng hboot
[HTC Amaze 4G] MentalDeath:
I'll start handing out my resume ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Willieumm:
Oh ok, I thought that you meant you were getting an s-off eng hboot that we could use. Damn it! :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] wasie:
it means we have to wait further more so that we might be able to get S-Off on HTC Amaze of those which have S-on ?

if that it is then i am waiting for that too. because i bought HTC AMAZE and still waiting for that. so that i can install easily.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MentalDeath:
Install what easily?
[HTC Amaze 4G] gaww:
Kernels for sure. Not so sure on basebands
[HTC Amaze 4G] MentalDeath:
Kernels aren't a problem you can still do it as of now, however AFAIK you can't flash radios
[HTC Amaze 4G] wasie:
as it was discussed earlier that might be we are not able to get full options as in case of s-off then in s-on.

is that true?

and secondly as XboarderMOD mention that there is new boatloader version is comming soon. if so then he will be able to convert the S-ON to S-OFF, is that possible as he said.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gaww:
As he said - easily.

It is nice to be able to flash ROM and kernel at the same time through Recovery - this is not possible currently but it can be done as you said.

Going back and forth from .6 and xBoarder's sense 3.5 + custom kernel is a good example. Ditto with faux's kernels.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MentalDeath:
Meh I don't find it that much of a problem, I'd prefer to this than what I have to do with my mom's Galaxy Tab to get it to work... If you don't flash it to stock or a "safe" version of a ROM it doesn't work..... when you jump between Android versions.
[HTC Amaze 4G] whateric:

HALP

So i had rooted my amaze earlier and every thing was great removed my bloat and went along my way, since the 12th my phone kept telling me it had the update to do so i clicked install but since clockwork was my recovery the phone did not want to do the update so. i decided to unroot my phone and try to restore but nothing seemed to be the same can some one help me out i cannot get su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip to run right to root. All i know about this stuff is how to follow directions so if you can help plz do
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Do you have clockwork recovery or no?
[HTC Amaze 4G] alucardunit1:
Yes i do and i have the ability to do every thing root does even with rebooting, but it shows s-on on the h-boot screen
[HTC Amaze 4G] JaiaV:
There is no S-OFF for the Amaze at this time, unless your phone came with S-OFF from the factory.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
What does this comment:

su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip to run right to root

Have to do with needing S-OFF?

You have clockworkmod recovery.

You have root and thus have superuser installed.

There is no way currently to change an S-ON to S-OFF and that has been repeated over and over again in this thread.

That being said... what's the problem?
[HTC Amaze 4G] alucardunit1:
well i came from the sensation and i guess i just thought that that mattered and i could of swore that i had it off before. but i guess i was mistaken. and i thought since the top of every post said s off is not here yet of older posts i thought we had gotten it. guess i just was freaking out since i never really booted in rom so there is no problem.
[HTC Amaze 4G] alucardunit1:
Ok well one thing I have found is when the su binary errors out on the md5 sum check fails
[HTC Amaze 4G] lainemac:
How Close are we?

Not to be annoying or anything, but are we close to getting s-off?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Doesn't look like it's every going to happen.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lainemac:
Why do you say that? There are a lot of smart people on this forum.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
No point really
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
And all of these smart people have tried everything that they could think of and could not get it. The only thing that will get us S-OFF is a leak from HTC. So yeah, don't hold your breath.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nshih422:
Well if anyone has anything they want to try, to achieve S-OFF, but didn't because they were worried they would brick the phone, I would be willing to help!

Waiting for a warranty exchange so I have until the end of the month and I wouldn't be worried about bricking or anything like that. Figured I'd put that out there just incase.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ursubpar:
We'll find an exploit someway. XDA is a powerful community with over 4,000,000 members. At least one of them has got to know how to get s-off on this device.
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
So how did S-OFF become possible on the Sensation Binary? I wonder why the Amaze is so much more difficult when its OS is almost identical. Someone somewhere mentioned that it could be built into the hardware now which would make it nearly impossible to break??
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Well you know those people that got the S-OFF on the Sensation? I think they are called Team Revolutionary or something... yeah... they gave up on the Amaze and said that they couldn't do it. So maybe you know something that they don't? We're open to suggestions if you do.
[HTC Amaze 4G] defmute:
So the people that have s-off on the amaze, how did they get it? I saw where one person said their phone came with it, how did that happen?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
There are very few phones shipped with S-OFF. No real rhyme or reason. It just happens like that for a lot of HTC phones.

I bought two T-Mobile Amaze 4G, one is 1.90.0004 S-ON, the other one is 1.90.0004 SHIP S-Off.

But I use Telus RUU to flash that 1.90.0004 SHIP S-Off T-Mobile Amaze 4G, and now I got a 1.90.0006 SHIP S-Off in Phone.

The other S-ON T-Mobile Amaze 4G still 1.90.0004 S-ON:(

And I have other friend got 1.90.0004 SHIP S-Off for T-Mobile 4G, I had ask my friend, myabe today will get 1.90.0004 SHIP S-Off HBOOT.img

In taiwan now, if we buy T-Mobile Amaze 4G, all are 1.90.0004 SHIP S-Off version, I don't know why, but it's really S-OFF version....
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
You're making it sound like all we need to do is flash the Telus RUU to get s-off on all of our devices. I seriously doubt that's the case. More than likely you already had s-off on that device prior to flashing the ruu and all it did was update your bootloader from 1.90.0004 to 1.90.0006.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
ya he had s-off and just flash a updated bootloader and thats it

Look at this binary :D

Hello,

I am currently rooted and have the latest update package on my Evo. I was using many different roms and realized that my 4g did not connect on any. At first I thought it was because I thought the roms did not support it but found that some did.

Still the 4g would say it was connecting and then restart never connecting.

I have tried the following to fix it

Downloaded RSA checker. I still have my keys

Reflashed the Update package

I have flashed back to my original back up where it used work

I updated profile and PRL after flashing(unsure if the updated occurred because it says that it is applied every time but there is no way to tell)
