S-OFF is NOT coming.

don't get your hopes up.
[HTC Rezound] nfrederick:
Thanks for the good/terrible news.
[HTC Rezound] paulhoop:
Andybones, is that your thought about S-OFF ever or just for the method "announced" in this particular thread.

:rolleyes:
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
I know, sucks to be the news bringer, but DO NOT flash the PH98IMG.zip file if you got your hands on it unless you are S-OFF already..

it will 80% brick your phone, and WILL NOT give you S-OFF...

IDK what Jcase did, but he isn't going to share it from my understanding.

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

The people who can give us S-OFF, don't care to even try as we are already unlocked, and really we can do everything, we just have to flash kernels in bootloader, so they see it as a waste of time.

I can tell you 100% that the method we thought of the signed hboot giving S-OFF is not going to work and will 8/10 brick your phone, if you want to try be my guest!!
[HTC Rezound] paulhoop:
I thought maybe your answer was looking at the longer view, not this particular "method", just wanted to make sure it was clear. And agree with your assessment.

No crazy daredevil here, I do not and cannot have a bricked phone. Also, pretty comfortable with the current level of access using bootloader for ROM and kernel errr, adjustments. ;)
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Is this real or B.S is someone playing around causing problem's.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Read the thread. The guy who did it won't release and just flashing the hboot bricks.
[HTC Rezound] Newt:
Just so you guys know I tried flashing the whole leak and it wouldn't flash for me so doubtful it will help us with s on
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Convert system and boot into a rom and it will flash
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
i think that has been done, the kernel is need tho.
[HTC Rezound] Newt:
Bud I built a Rom from it lastnight and used it.... What I was saying it hboot will not update nor will anything else in the zip except bootimg... So getting s off from the engine hboot won't work for s on phones
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I figured that was the case I was just making sure.
[HTC Rezound] papi92:
Someone please send me the working ics ruu. I want to check the bootloader to see if it will keep me unlocked. I also want to test radios and other things. Such as looking for watermark. I promise to keep ruu private just pm.
[HTC Rezound] papi92:
S-off is very possible and people are working on it. It's nice that htcdev unlocked the phones but with s-off we can control radio and flash any ruu in hboot.
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
I don't think people are working on S-OFF personally...
[HTC Rezound] papi92:
I'm working right now with jcase and a few others in irc.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
which IRC? Ill drop in if I am invited :)
[HTC Rezound] papi92:
I don't think he wants people who don't have s-off already as this can perma brick normal htcdev unlocked devices as of now
[HTC Rezound] con247:
ok. that is fine.
[HTC Rezound] nfrederick:
It's calling me....
[HTC Rezound] dclmac:
not getting my hopes up...

I'll believe it when I see it
[HTC Rezound] papi92:
The picture isn't proof?
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
My question is how can it be locked but S-off? :confused:My understanding was that S-off was a complete unlock.
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
it's just the hboot.

my inc2 was like that with XTC perma S-OFF.

just needs an ENG bootloader hboot.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
oh, but it would be so much more fun if you tried it *while* you were drunk.

Don't they call that drunkflashing?

Dumped into the innertubes from my Rezound
[HTC Rezound] ftmaniac948:
I think drunkflashing is something teenagers do when they have had too much in college Haha

I'm living on a yellow submarine
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
There are development vigors out there with s-off. If someone posts a step by step video guide to full s-off, I might believe then...
[HTC Rezound] jcase:
People need to stop putting words into my mouth, and stop explaining things you don't understand. All you do is get people confused and pissed off.

Stop deciding what others are doing or are not doing. Just because you don't know what someone is working, doesn't mean its not being worked on.

All it is, is what it appears to be. Its a signed ENG hboot, that will validate. Those that used our thunderbolt root, should understand it. Were in the same spot as we were day 1 thunderbolt.

(This is a very watered down explanation, and it somewhat wrong but it is the best you get from me.)

Phone boots

radio tells hboot if its s-on or s-off,

if s-off, then radio unlocks various partitions

However, if its a ENG or a DEV hboot, the hboot will ignore what the radio tells it, and unlock it anyways.

This is how we got root/s-off on the thunderbolt. The phones themselves are still s-on in reality, however the hboot ignores what the radio tells it.

Somewhere in the thunderbolt forums, I left a better explanation.
[HTC Rezound] k_flan:
does this mean that anything that could be done with fastboot and htc unlock will be able to be done in recovery or does it get us even more write access?
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
you already said your phone was a dev phone that already had s-off...
[HTC Rezound] jcase:
Look at the picture a bit closer, its an ENG hboot
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jebise101:
Just got it today and already rooted :D. But i have a few questions.

1.) Using Titanium Backup to remove bloatware, will removing apps/widgets for stock or friend stream cause any problems?

2.) How do you add the extended power menu? My SGS had it and let me restart, Go in to Recovery etc. I see if in some of the ROM's but i would like to stay stock for now.

2B.) How can i mod the battery meter in the status bar to show percentage as well.

3.) How to you take a screenshot? again with the sgs it was back+home.

4.) HTCSense.com, I can't get it to locate my phone. Any Canadians get it to work?

5.) Is there any way to add an extra zero to the HTC clock? So it shows 01:25 rather then 1:25

6.) Anyone got the iPhone vroom sound when text are sent?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jebise101:
bump, any answer to some or all my questions?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
1. it will cause no issues

2. decompile /system/framework/android.policy.jar, edit smali, recompile and push back to /system/framework

2b. UOT kitchen is a good place to start

3. SGS2, was Power+Home button. Same here

4. I have never been able to get HTCSense.com to locate any of my HTC devices, ever

5. if you can decompile it and edit it, sure

6. nope
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jebise101:
2.) Can't i just extract it from one of the current ROM's and just paste it in using root explorer and reboot?

New Question:

How does one tranfer game saves from one phone to another, don't want to loose my Cut the Rope and Angry Birds save.

EDIT:

I got angry bird over but Titanium Backup does can't find Cut the Rope and a few other games
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
if the rom you extract it from is running the same base as the version you are on...give it a shot

i always copy my entire titanium backup folder over from one phone to the next, then restore what i need from titanium backup

[HTC Amaze 4G] shirazir:

I'm a DIY kind of guy but sourcing and installing a speaker isn't the easiest thing in the world. Take the phone back to T-Mobile, they should take care of you.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ek07:
there is no way to order the speake from there
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ek07:
i know how to do it but i need to order the piece so i cant find it any where :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] papeshfoo:
Why not exchange it? That's what warranties are for bro...
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
ya even if your warranty is voided due to rooting (which it shouldn't be because it's a hardware problem), I would rather have HTC replace the speaker for me and pay them. then order the part and try to install it myself!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] TheSneakerWhore:
Just call htc.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ek07:
I did call htc and they told me to ship them the device but i find it so far away is on texas and im in new york , im just scare of losing my device in the process , i know a place around my job they fix this kind of things but i dont know where to the the speaker

[HTC Amaze 4G] Ek07:
thanks guys i fixed it already it turns out that the same speaker is on the evo 4g haha i got it fix for 20 bucks :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Snow_fox:
One of the main reasons why I got a tablet was for the purpose of carrying one tablet instead of 5+ school books.

While I am still looking for the books I want, I am just wondering if when I get them and by chance highlight them.. if I export them to my computer before loading a rom..

Will it save the highlights and what not?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GMAN1722:
i don't know if your highlights will still be there if you export the books to a computer but i dont think you really need to. I have used a couple of roms while on gingerbread and all of my annotations survived. even when I upgraded to honeycomb via globatron's method I was happy to see all of my books with all of my annotations. one time I even cleared the data in the reader app and found all of my books deleted and the books that come installed on the flyer back on my tablet (I had deleted them previously). after panicking I rebooted and was happy to see all of my books with the annotations back on my flyer. I am not really clear where they get stored (because I think I even changed SD cards during this time but I am not sure of this) but all I know is if I can't find them I reboot and they reappear automagically lol. maybe they are stored on the internal SD card which doesn't get touched when flashing.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Will_nonya:
Some of it will depend on what format the books are in. PDFs for example only saved annotations when I explicitly saved the file.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GMAN1722:
Good point. I was referring to the reader app and EPUBS. But i believe once you save the PDF file after making annotations that there isn't a need to export them to an external computer. I think once they are saved they will be able to be recovered along with the annotations upon reboot just like the EPUBS. In fact I just looked at a book in the PDF format that I annotated before I even rooted the flyer (these annotations had the fat pen issue - which is what made me root the flyer in the first place) and all the annotations are still there. So they survived rooting, placing custom Roms while on gingerbread and then upgrading to Honeycomb via globatron's method. You can always do a test on one PDF and/or one EPUB prior to installing a rom just to be sure.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gedster314:
At the moment I think you are better off with an IPad for school. You pick up ipad1s pretty cheap and soon iPad2s. How I wish there was an iAnnotate app for Android with the pen usage.

In one year Android Tabs have come a long way and I'm loving my view and hardly use my iPad. I doubt I will be upgrading to Ipad3 since android is tabs are getting Sooo much better.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GMAN1722:
So if you are loving your view, AND there is a means of annotating books with it already, AND you hardly use your IPAD since you got your view, why would you recommend that he get an IPAD?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gedster314:
I currently do not need note taking in PDF so I really do not need the ipad. If I was taking classes, I would be using my Ipad for that.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Will_nonya:
Who let the iPad guy in here? Maybe we need to review the site security :)

my only point is that some apps save the notifications when they're made, some require you to same them manually and some will depend on how you initiate them.

If you know what formats you are planning to work with it is easier to get more specific recommendations.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GMAN1722:
yea what's up with the IPAD guy, jk. one thing i appreciate about the flyer/view forum is that we don't get into "this is better than that" drivel. i was just curious as to why he would recommend the IPAD when the OP was asking about saving his annotations for a device that he already has purchased for a very specific purpose?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Snow_fox:
I'd rather carry my books than buy an ipad.

So please, if you have nothing to contribute to the conversation in the way of useful information, don't sidetrack the serious conversation with talk of ipad.

I am glad you happen to like your ipad, but I'd sooner not use a tablet than use an ipad. I hate dumbed down software.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GMAN1722:
back to the issue at hand. are you looking to download books into PDF files or EPUBS? I find the PDF reader keeps the format of the publication - which is better for publications that are heavily illustrated like magazines or brochures. but the epub reader is more efficient for annotating because not only can you highlight or write right on the page but you can even attach notes to what you highlighted. plus you can easily locate and retrieve your annotations as they are kept separately in its own category within each book (highlights, what you wrote, and notes)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Snow_fox:
Ah. Thanks for the heads up on that. I may play around with both formats.

Any idea if the kindle and nook apps support highlighting and what not? I've considered using them to get at least some of my books.

Hey guys,

Repeated post xD? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=808571

Check Mixzing FAQ site

I think that your question can be answered by this one

What personal data do you collect and can someone associate it with my music collection?

MixZing analyzes your music collection and playlists and then sends summarized information to a central server where your musical tastes are compared to those of other MixZing network members. In order to safeguard your privacy, we are careful never to associate this information with any personally identifiable information. Instead, it is associated with a randomly generated user ID that MixZing assigns to your library and which your computer stores locally.

Im new at this and don't know much about flashing and stuff. I barely got my skyrocket coming from an iPhone 3gs that was jailbroken. Anywho, my friend had my friend had rooted my phone, but im not sure where and how to go from here. What's the best rom and kernels to use?

It gives me the best battery life... about 2 days with moderate use.

And NEVER use ROM Manager. It's BAD. VERY BAD!
[Dell Streak 7] RCounts:
Wondering if some of the bright developers around here would be interested in creating a configurable wiget to make things like turning WiFi on or off a one click operation - vs scrolling to settings, clicking to open it, clicking Wireless Networking, clicking WiFi to turn it on or off. Same thing for turning on/off 3G/4G, etc.

Even having a one click shortcut that would take you automatically to the Wireless Networking configuration screen would be a big improvement. Kind of like the ability to send a shortcut from the Wireless Networking Utility in Control Panel to the desktop in Windows.

Or is there already something out there to do this?
[Dell Streak 7] ramtix:
Try widgetsoid.. thats what I use on my Streak..it pretty nifty, you can add a lot of shortcut settings on the widgets.

Android also has a shortcut for indivual settings. Just add shortcuts>select shortcuts>settings>pick settings you want to appear on your screen..
[Dell Streak 7] RCounts:
One thank you point for ramtix...

Zeam Launcher does a lot of what I wanted, but I'm still willing to try wigetsoid...
