I feel your pain. Sadly, no XTC support yet. When we do get it however, AlphaRev will get it soon after.
[HTC Rezound] fernando sor:
You are correct sir. They have at least addressed the dev community. They still have a way to go tho
[HTC Rezound] WorldOfJohnboy:
Do you have a Link to said "address?"
[HTC Rezound] dabomb697:
Are you really still rocking the Eris?
[HTC Rezound] fernando sor:
Im referringto treve's work on carrier data collection and htc dev. To have a billion dollar company make numerous statements on the work of an xda dev is pretty amazing
[HTC Rezound] narcco:
Does anyone know if there is an estimate as to when we might get S-off, im willing to give it another week then i think im either going to go back to my revolution or get a droid bionic. Any recomendations my main reason for getting the rezound is a better camera than the revolution and hope of more roms i like to change things up makes it seem new each time lol.
[HTC Rezound] Andro X:
I just came from a bionic it sucked. Don't get one trust me. Especially if your looking for a good camera. You'll be waiting ten minutes to open the camera and gain focus hopefully lol.

Well ladies and gentleman, HTC just released the source kernel for the Rezound. That is Def the first step in the right direction if u ask me about the possibility of root....great news and I'm sure the dev's will waste little time messing with it
[HTC Rezound] HTGamingPC:
An ETA would be really nice. I hate to pester the devs, being a total noob and all, but the fact that its not out yet makes me wonder if it'll take months, or if it'll happen at all. It would be interesting just to know what it is that makes this one different than what came before (the devices that are being rooted before release) and how hard it would be to get around.

I am holding out for Black Friday deals while waiting for permanent root. Knowing when it might happen would change the price I'm willing to hold out for.
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
Agreed... I waited for the Bionic only to be disappointed, and pissed that a month later they announced the RAZR.

Root WILL happen, folks. Just a matter of time. S-off is a different story, but it is possible as well.
[HTC Rezound] HTGamingPC:
Is that known for sure, or we all just being optimistic? I'm very optimistic that it will eventually happen, but its not the same as knowing it might take a few more days or a few more weeks because of X, or Y.

For instance, I have a trip coming up where I know I will need tethering. Knowing if its a few days or a few weeks would determine whether my OG Droid would be better for me at this point.

Also, I would think more people would donate if they knew exactly what they were donating for.
[HTC Rezound] zeroxg4:
If your trip is in a few weeks, then plan on taking your Droid. :p
[HTC Rezound] Jbo914:
Someone mentioned this before but ill say again. The droid incredible took months to root but it had some of the best dev support. Be patient. You can't really rush ppl especially in something like this where they are doing it for your benefit. Since it doesn't seem to have root now I would take the droid.
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
Anyone ever heard "Patience is a virtue"? Or did just us older people hear that as kids? I have faith that the devs will figure this out. Optimistic.
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
On the Incredible and the Thunderbolt it took about 2 months.

[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
+1 i dont remember anyone complaining when the Dinc came out about getting root fast. everyone just talked about how cool the phone was tll root was achieved and than all hell broke lose so lets just give it some time. :)
[HTC Rezound] HTGamingPC:
Yes, stuck with the OG Droid for the tethering for now. We can all guess that this will probably take a while to root because whatever existing methods didn't work, or else it would have been rooted already. My point is just that it would be nice to hear what's going on behind the scenes, but not in any form that would really slow down the devs, of course.
[HTC Rezound] Xtreme Outcast:
If Anyone Could Point Me In The Direction Of Getting This Thing Rooted I'm All Ears. I Have Alot Of Free Time, Just Need An Idea Of How To Start.
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
I think people are so spoiled from having phones that are rooted that coming to one that isn't yet, it's driving them nuts. I have no problem waiting for root, in fact I might go back to my OG Droid for the time being so that nothing happens to my Rezound. Once progress has been made, I'll switch back and start enjoying the goodness that is to be had.
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
Can't be done right now!:'(
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
I could be wrong, but I think extreme was asking more about how to help in getting root access, and not how to root it. :confused:
[HTC Rezound] pstevep:
OK. So. Just to throw this out there the more you whine and beg for ETA's the less likely you are to get one. Developers, especially those that work on gaining root and s-off, get more frustrated than the users do at not obtaining it. The problem is now manufacturers have made stuff harder to crack and there is a much more broad user base of people who don't know much other than root and flash. Everyone needs to chill a bit, it will come. I have an evo 3D, have had since launch it took roughly a month, and we had a ton of developers working day and night to break it. But the threads got crazy because people get impatient and then there were bans like crazy. Let's not let that happen here. If you want to discuss ways to try and get root and s-off fine. But asking for ETA's or complaints about not having root yet will just lead to flaming. Everyone just take a deep breath, and enjoy your phone. Root, s-off it will come.

Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
Didn't the Tbolt, the INC and INC2 get S-off? Forgive me if I'm wrong, haven't tracked with HTC devices in a while up until now.

If that is the case, then yes it will happen. Might be a little more difficult to achieve, but it is indeed possible.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
I made an entire thread telling people to shut up and quit whining lol.
[HTC Rezound] Joe92T:
We already have RUUs, a custom recovery image, the kernal source code, and roms being made... we litereally have everything we need now except S-Off... Once S-Off happens every tool is already available to us to mod away with
[HTC Rezound] computerfreek:
I was reading some info and post out on the web and i did find someone saying that revolutionary http://revolutionary.io/ Is working on adding the rezound. Hell maybe it will even work now I don't have my rezound yet to test it on but it looks like them guys may get it working.

Here is the phones that it is working on as of now. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary

The dev's on here will get perm root at some point. just a matter of time.

1st dev that gets s-off is going to get some great donations.
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
And this is why this phone will kick plenty of booty once S-Off is accomplished.

Found this rooting around the binary, looking for signs that it was being worked on:

[HTC Rezound] con247:
That is pretty funny. Atleast it seems like work is being done.
[HTC Rezound] Newt:
Chingy has friends in the right places he's not getting the phone from vzw.... It's a good friend with good resources
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
So any chance of him reverse engineering a root method for us?
[HTC Rezound] hoboballer:
I will be willing to donate to the cause! I appreciate all of the hard work that devs put in to give us root
[HTC Rezound] douger1957:
I do...;)

I hope it doesn't come down to jerking around with the SD card and the power button, like the first root attempt was.
[HTC Rezound] rboddy:
Given that the SD card is now blocked by the battery unless you get creative with removal methods, it'd be damn near impossible to screw around with the card. Here's to hoping they get it down to a simple method like they did the Dinc, that was sooo nice!
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Well that is promising!
[HTC Rezound] BrownEye02:
I dont know why everyone is so jumpy. After going through most of the posts and being apart of the droid x and eris community. It sounds like this phone will be awesome. We just need to WAIT! The people that are setting a date to change phones need to just switch phones and leave. You are not helping one bit. From my experience the phones that have awesome root communities are full of people that want root but arnt going to change phones because there's rumor it might not happen. Or even badger the dev's on when root will happen. If we show the devs that we can wait for s-off and that no matter what tech skill we have were willing to help. S-off will not be a thing of the future it will be the present. Now I don't have the rezound yet. Which sucks since I haven't had anything to do the past couple of days do to a broken collar bone. But you can bet that once I get my hands on one. Ill be in here asking what I can do to help the dev's. Oh and yes im not waiting till this phone has s-off to get it. Im picking the best phone that Verizon has to offer and putting my trust in the dev's.
[HTC Rezound] combatmedic870:
just lift the battery slightly and use a paper clip to push the sd card down (going under the battery until its no longer connected.). Then push it back in with the paper clip. its not to bad.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
ahh the good old days it took me about a 1000 tries one night and it finally worked i was so happy.

ohh wow thats true well that sucks haha
[HTC Rezound] combatmedic870:
nope its possible to take out, i was doing it when rooted due to me being a DA and not knowing i could mount it in settings :) LOL
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
Amen brother. I hope you have a speedy recovery!
[HTC Rezound] BrownEye02:
Thanks sir. I just hope my next paycheck is big enough to let me get me a rezound! That would take my mind off of being stuck at home with nothing to do.
[HTC Rezound] xRogerxC:
Hi Gents. I know there are several devs working on the Rezound right now, at least from what I've read all over the internet lol. I have a ton of PC coding experience, but not so much on the Android side of things. I am a disabled Navy Vet, and I have ALOT of free time at my disposal.

I am more than willing to donate towards the right dev getting a

Rezound to work with, and I am more than willing to do any research that would take the load off those working on S-off and root. Please let me know if I can help in any way, and just wanted to say thanks to the devs who are working on this, and hello to everyone here in the Rezound forum!
[HTC Rezound] BrownEye02:
If you haven't already check out the IRC channel for the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
:confused: the thunderbolt had root and an engineering bootloader before it was even released. i only ran stock firmware on mine for about a week.

he more or less admitted to it on rootz:

in this thread:http://rootzwiki.com/topic/9451-rezound-s-off-and-root-status-currently-s-on-and-temp-root/

thats chingys thread. he never said how he managed to do it,because he didnt. it had shipped that way.

they are being optimistic. there is absolutely no way to know that new exploits will be found. just becasue it "took 2 months for this phone,and 6 months for that phone" does not mean that something will work for this one.

in a word,no.

alot of folks dont really understand that there are 2 kinds of s-off:

1)

secure flag off in the radio.

hboot finds firmware,it asks the radio "hey can i flash this?" and the s-off radio says "sure. go ahead,im not checking for any signitures".

2)

patched hboots,and engineering hboots

. with these,the radio is actually still s-on. hboot finds a file and it says "hey can i flash this?ok great,thanks. you are s-off" without actually waiting for an answer. the radio is screaming "hey! dont you flash that!" but the eng hboot has its hands over its ears and is going "lalala i cant hear you" :eek:

chingys phone was radio s-offed,as pre-production devices usually are,as well as developer devices. it is not really possible to change the secure flag in the radio without either having an engineering sim card,or an unprotected emmc,so reverse engineering from a radio s-offed device cannot provide much info.at least not without also having an engineering sim card. it may be possible at some point to patch the sim input so that the secure flag can be turned on and off without an engineering sim,but to my knowledge it hasnt happened yet. this is why the xtc clip exists and folks pay alot of $$ for them. basically the clip pretends to be an engineering sim card so that a gold card with DIAG file generated by the clips software can "clear s58 data" and set the secure flag to off,CID to 111111,and unlock the sim.

im really hopeful the clip can support it,since i have 1 :D

i do think it will get at least a patched hboot eventually(s-off via revolutionary) but i dont know. IMO folks that are "sure" because "every other htc device ive had has been" are being a bit naive. :rolleyes:
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
I'm sure in a few days if not already done lol.
[HTC Rezound] Newt:
No that won't help at all they have to crack the security that's put in place now, so it'll be like a trial and error thing until they get it or give up.. we will just have to be patient...
[HTC Rezound] Newt:
I think xtc will support it they they have unlocked all the htc phones on vzw recently
[HTC Rezound] combatmedic870:
im just worried that S-off wont happen fast enough and all of the great devs will return it within the 14 days....:(
[HTC Rezound] Superguy:
Verizon extended the return period into January on 11/15. So unless they bought it day of, there's plenty of time.
[HTC Rezound] disconnecktie:
Yup lol... Between Workshed and condemnedsoul making such awesome gb roms I haven't had to upgrade. I'm not due until February anyway
[HTC Rezound] Newt:
Well I don't know if I'm considered a great dev but I'm not going anywhere

[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
Everyone should.follow @evil_devnull. He may have just cracked the EVO 3d 1.50.xx hboot which sure was no easy task. If Any of you coming from the 3D should know that. Only ****ty part is he obviously needs the handsets to work on them. But he's willing to work on the Rezound I'd that happens. Just thought u guys on Twitter should know about him. I'm gonna see if I can help him out with the device. But at least we k.ow there's another willing to work on it. Not tryi.g to get any hopes up. Just thought u guys should be aware
[HTC Rezound] combatmedic870:
You know your my main squeeze!
[HTC Rezound] flexor224:
Not sure what your plans are, if I can help you anyway let me know.
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
Yeah I need to speak to someone today who may be able to hook me up (No its nothing Illegal, although I would do it for you guys :P) but if all goes well it'll only cost me the contract price. Def no promises but ill fing out today prolly. We'll see what's happens but one more person working on it can't hurt.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
One thing I enjoyed in the Inc forum is your sense of humor. Not a great dev Hah

Anyway, your probably stuck with me since I bought mine on the 14th so I will be running out soon but that's OK I love the phone one way or the other.

And besides, I have complete faith we will get something and be able to do our thing. Hey, we have temp root and can atleast freeze things
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
thats great news! let me know how it goes. if he can crack the evo 3d 1.5+ hboot,he must have some skillz :cool:

if hes willing to work ont he rezound,ill be happy to help you get him one(i.e. donate a lil)
[HTC Rezound] Crooke356:
Wow, such passion. The Vigor (thats what its called) will have S-off. Don't worry.....

[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Yup, but the project ID (ro.aa.project=Vigor) is Vigor so we can call it whatever feels good. But yes, I agree, I like Rezound better
[HTC Rezound] hoovnick:
I'm gonna call mine "the one that makes you cry cause you wish you had it" :D

Anyway, if I can be of any help to the devs, just let me know. I was quite the guinea pig when I had the Eris and got really quick at setting up my phone multiple times.
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
Yup ill keep everyobe updated!. Thanks guys
[HTC Rezound] Crooke356:
I know its called the rezound, I like Vigor, and thats what the guys that are going to allow S-off call it. Thats if the devs don't accomplish this within an already predetermined time frame.
[HTC Rezound] Newt:
I'm going to dig into our hboot today and see what I can find
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
Time frame?
[HTC Rezound] Crooke356:
Yea, time frame. I've no doubt the devs will succeed first. Big red and HTC are as excited (well, not AS excited) to see what they can do as we are. They (VW and HTC) learn a lot from the devs without dumping money into research. And the Vigor/ Rezound, brought in some of the communities best devs. They already have plans in place to make sure they get their free research.
[HTC Rezound] Droidel:
I got the rezound! Maybe I can make some boot animations. Can't wait for business sense and others.
[HTC Rezound] combatmedic870:
theres a decent bounty now going on for S-off

theres atleast $300 plus a free phone of your choosing.:D

Yeah, I noticed that too but after I did the keyboard calibration, it seems to have fixed it... so far!

I've tried it before (not on this phone though) and it doesn't seem to work as well as swype does.

I figured everyone found out about this 1 right when they got the phone.

are used it for about a day and a half and it is really sucked, I went back to swype.

Nothing will be good as swype I think. I actually didn't know about this but I'm about to try it :-)

The HTC Trace doesn't work for the market, search, or the web browser. Does work for emails and messages though. This ticked me off so I went to swype.

Ooh. I like this! can't seem to do "wow" or "cool".

I can't find swype in the market. This is my search results for "swype"

https://market.android.com/search?q=swype&so=1&c=apps

I tried "swype keyboard" too and can't seem to get to it. Was trying from my phone then tried on my laptop and got the above.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
You have to get it from their site. http://www.swype.com/
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Hm... I prefer the bigger default kb. Is there a way to use swype with a different kb or do you have to use theirs?
[HTC Rezound] punman:
Swype is a keyboard replacement, and once you have it installed, it will, as the word implies, replace your keyboard. So, yes, you have to use theirs.

I have been using Swype for over a year; while the first few days took some effort as I got used to it, I find the benefit for the time invested is well worth it. I can "type" out texts much faster than tapping on a tiny keyboard.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I love the mode, it's much better than typing with thumbs, just prefer using the built in trace with the built in kb since it's bigger and I can make the trace line red. :)

I'll have to see if it's annoying for me to have to turn on swype for browsers and market and also if it's annoying to switch kbs for that or if it's less annoying to just get used to the swype's kb and use it for everything.

I'm on CM7.1 stable. Haven't had battery issues for a while, but starting a few days ago I've been getting rapid drain with heating. Battery use screen shows that the phone is awake most of the time the screen is off, but it doesn't reveal which app keeps waking it up. I also tried Spare Parts to see if any app is hogging the partial wake lock, but nothing seems to account for it.

Any other ideas on how to trace it? Must've been an app that updated in the past 3-4 days.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Just to show how this looks, here is a screenshot of the battery screen.

Notice that I put the phone in airplane mode for the past hour as I was writing an exam, yet it still appears awake with screen off. The phone was warm when I retrieved it after an hour of the radios being off! Something is seriously wrong here.
