That means that you can now flash roms of any CID. CID's identify device by carrier. It just allows you to flash anything that can be flashed to a holiday regardless of whether its an unbranded Holiday, Vivid, Raider, or Velocity. It gives you more control over your device basically, regarding roms and such. You may not ever need it but there's no disadvantage to having it, make sure you change it back if you ever send it in for repairs.

worked like a charm... thanks a lot man!!! I got s-off now :D

Although I do have one problem now... my sd-card says its blank and it wont read it... I try to format it and it just sits there forever doing nothing... I can't even format it in my pc... any ideas anyone?

thanks again doktor buknasty!!

Go into disk management on a windows PC and find the RAW removable disk that's about the size of your sd, right click it and select format, choose the appropriate options, format it.

Does anyone have a good way of getting that little back panel off? Even the smallest of jeweler's screwdrivers that I have is too big for it.....

The panel doesn't need to go back on; I think I've done enough to void this phone's warranty, lol.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] doktor buknasty:
Have you tried to use a small flathead screwdriver?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
I've tried using a 2mm flathead, which is still too big to fit in...

I guess I should ask about to see if any of my friends have a smaller one.

Also, how strict is the "stripped wire" requirement? Can it just be conducting wire (i.e. would it be passable to do it with an unstripped headphone cable just across the jacks)? Or does it need to be able to directly interact?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
What's this 11111111 stuff

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
A knife with some pressure works fine
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Zarboz:
i used old usb wire guts :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
I'm considering using a metal paperclip with electrical tape as a grip at this point. Smaller flathead still didn't do the trick...ergh. Time to find a Swiss Army knife or something.

EDIT: Just got it out using a rubber band and my 2mm Phillips head screwdriver. Is there any merit to leaving that cover off, permanently?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jenkem110:
glad i saw this, was going to ask the same thing. now i am going to use my old iphone charger lol:p
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] citsong:
Ok I got control bear to run and I try doing the wire trick and it comes to a point where it says

Fastboot detected

Rebooting device

Found device... Please wait....

quit....

press enter to exit...

Phone boots up normally and still s-on
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
See that little grey tape holding the chip in place. Plus all those chips etc must get hurt by dust etc

I put it back on I think it will make a difference one day
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] citsong:
Done the wire trick numerous times and it reboots the phone but it seems like all it's doing is wiping the sd card. Using speaker wire to do it. Cut open some usb cables but they just seemed way to thick. Anyone have this happen to them? Can't be that far from getting it right. Could I possibly be touching the wrong pin? I'm pretty sure that I'm on the right one but they are pretty close together so if thats the problem then I just gotta keep trying.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Cover off, paperclip acquired, fastboot flashed jb_boot.img.

Symantec Enterprise is ringing off the hook. I hope this is actually safe.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] htcvividnoob:
I don't think you are supposed to flash jb_boot.img, unless it's a different procedure for Linux. On Windows I just connected my phone to my PC and ran the ControlBear program, followed directions from there. I did not flash jb_boot.img at any point.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tanner4137:
If I have all of my fastboot files on my windows computer, would it matter if I switched to a linux to get S-Off?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
a wire tie did the trick for me. It's rigid enough where you can easy control it, and it is also already shielded. I had no issue with the wire trick as it was successful both times I ran the program (had to run the second time because the first time around it was stuck at "found device, waiting").

Good luck to those of you that will be attempting the procedure.

Hi All,

I am using defy from past 6 months and recent rooted it to - Gingerbread CM7-2.3.7, i am very new to this and have some more quires regarding Defy GUP overclock process.

1. how do I get to know My defy is of Red Lens OR of Green Lens?

2. Whats the basis difference in both the lens?

3. I have rooted it to Gingerbread CM7-2.3.7 but want to overclock mu GUP, How can I do So?

4. will over clocking help in playing HD games?

5. What good or bad can happen after overclocking?

I would really appreciate if you people can enlighten me on the above ques. and help me in overclocking my GPU.

Thanks & Regards,

devraj
[Defy General] harp_666:
Go thru "All in one Defy Beginner's guide" under stickies, you will find all the answers there :)
[Defy General] Dev_raj:
Thanks for the Quick update, but i already have rooted It n now I want to play all the latest HD Games, So how Can I do so?

Plz suggest.
[Defy General] farsight73:
If you rooted. You can overlock it with SetVsel or the buildin 2nd-init. By default Gingerbread rom is already running 1000Hz. You could still up it until 1200Hz if you really fency the performance but the wise guy would only do it max at 1100Hz for the optimum performance as well as good battery life.

Some games you could play without problem after overclock but some needed different CPU like Tegra or Adreno to name a few which doesn't work properly on Defy. So this HD games can be mix and match.
[Defy General] tonialzola:
To find out if your defy has a red or a green lens yo can download Logcat app from the play store.

1 Open logcat

2 Run the camera app and close it

3 Search jordancamerawrapper

If it says Bayer device then its red, if it says Soc device you have a green lense defy.

The main difference its on the camera module, not on the color of the lens. Bayer module its supposed to take better pictures, I don't know if there is any other difference.
[Defy General] tonialzola:
About the overclocking of the gpu I suggest you to take a look at this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1087427
[Defy General] Bleak3993:
I have a question about Chainfire 3D, the EGL driver(BETA) works on defy? anyone tried it?
[Defy General] zakoo2:
not true at all, i had a green lens defy first, switched to a red lensed one, and i have to say, green lens is MUCH better. it takes better pictures, has less distortion, has better framerares when capturing videos and even when previewing in the camera app. if i could, id switch back to green lens. just sayin.

about the gpu oc: the cpu and the gpu overclock together, so if you give your cpu a boost, your gpu will be faster too. but i dont see the point, the only games our gpu (sgx 530, which is pretty powerful) cant handle are the (tegra) hd games, but they were never intended to run smoothly on the defy. so if you wanna play those games, i suggest you upgrade your phone to one with at least two cpu cores and a better gpu (for example adreno 220 or sgx543 or whatever). cheers!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunken-Monkey:
Hi,

I have a stupid question about doing a backup within the recovery tool.

Will the partition table also be backuped? Cause when I flash a new ROM with another hboot (and maybe it sucks ;) ) , and I wanna recover my old ROM, do I need to flash the old hboot version before?

THX
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
Yeah, nandroid doesn't backup partition table. If you try to restore under hboot which has smaller /system than that in backup, your phone will fail to boot.

Great,

THX for the fast answer!

as it turns out, rock beats gorilla glass....

dropped it in my drive way last night getting into the car, fell about 4 feet and bounced twice. best part, this was a warranty replacement i got about 3 weeks ago, no insurance! woohoo!

small pieces are shifted a little, and i cut my ear on them already. phone still works great though, lol.
[Samsung Focus S] livejazz:
Gorilla Glass ditto!

yep! Ditto for my wife. 2.5 feet from a bedside table. Amazingly, it works and views perfectly! She's not ready to replace it with the next victim digitizer, yet, because she wants to get another drop out of her system, first. I did write Corning and they deferred to the manufacturer. I haven't been able to locate a replacement digitizer. There was one on eBay, but it said that it was a combo screen and digitizer and didn't come separately. Not believing that. Sorry.

matt
[Samsung Focus S] svtfmook:
that's also $180 on ebay. i read somewhere that samsung will replace it for $160, that would be a good deal.
[Samsung Focus S] Yippikaye:
I broke my screen like the photo and I haven't warranty. Do you know where can I repair the phone?
[Samsung Focus S] rquinn19:
Anyone found a replacement screen yet?
[Samsung Focus S] ej_424:
Curious about this as well. I have a focus S that has a cracked screen too and can't find a replacment anywhere. Why is it that this phone has no screen replacement parts? I called Samsung and they want $150 plus tax for the repair. NO THANKS! you can buy this phone at a great deal for about $200 or so manufacturer refurbished. makes no sense to pay $150 for a screen repair.
[Samsung Focus S] turbulent28:
DAMN.

I just bought an "S" off craiglist. I got to take it out of the packaging to test it... AND BANG.. slips right out of my hand.. Luckily it landed on the backside..

Please avoid speculating and commenting if at all possible. We will update the first post with progress and/or calls for testers as required. But I will state a couple of things to avoid confusion.

Don't ask for an ETA, we will release when we are happy it is ready (and safe)

Dont ask for the method or code, we will not release that until HTC blocks the exploit.

If it is your intention to donate, do not do so before release.

Don't PM us asking for additional progress/status or information we will keep the threads updated with what information we are willing to release.

Speculation on this helps nobody, not us, and not the MT4GS community.

Correcting misinformation also does not help, it just adds to the problem. Please do not post in this thread unless it is in direct responses to something either Fuses or I have posted.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
That'll be great - it's kinda worked out to keep me away from testing for this because of the work I'm doing on the same topic and they seem like they have this pretty well in hand except for the part about having a device to test on. I didn't want to get exposed to their methods and then basically stab them in the back given their wishes on not making the exploit public until it's patched.

It's one thing for me to post my own work or what's been worked on publicly out in the open, but given the hard work and time this crew has put in to making this happen cross-platform ( mad props btw - you guys are awesome! ) it was really a respect issue that's kept me out of this thread.

I am rather disappointed to see that they put all this effort into something that everyone around here wants but when it came down to it no one showed up to help their project out, especially given that it's like a blind port of a ROM on an exponentially harder level.

I'll see about getting that device in the mail to you, could ship as early as tomorrow if you can get the cash to me and I'll just do without a second device for a bit until I can get my hands on another one - that way you could help them help the rest of us by working through it with them.

It'll take me a few hours to get home, and by the time I get there I won't be able to get it shipped today, but if we can work it out tonight I'll eat the cost of express shipping so we can help these guys out, they've earned at least that much with what they've invested in putting this all together.

I'll shoot you a pm when I get home if you aren't floating around with the details, and we can get this show on the road - progress is exciting and I hate to see it slowed or stalled when something can be done to help it out - let's keep up the momentum and turn it into something grand! :)

I would be glad to help just needs to be a little earlier in the day....like 12pm est I can try and be available...if I have to have a linux setup that would take a little time to get wubi installed and drivers downloaded....but if you need someone i can do it tomorrow morning....if you want or can send me a pm on what needs to be set up in advance....or email me adrian.martin916@gmail.com so when I get home tonight I can try and get it all set up.

I think the big reason for the fear is the high risk of bricked phone and just on edge if this was legit or if it would work...if my phone gets bricked I can always call and say my phone died I need a warranty replacement...be 5 bucks for a new phone....

noob question

What is the difference between Juopunutbear S-Off and Revolutionary S-off? Mind to explain? *curious, no offence*
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] beezie916:
The difference is the group that made it...on the current hboot that was passed to the phone and any phone you receive now Revolutionary no longer works...Juopuntbear is the method looking like it will work with the new build when it is package for use and testing is finished...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Indirect:
Wrong.

Please dont answer a question if you don't know the answer.

The difference between radio and hboot s-off is how they work + how easy they can be patched out by the OEM. (HTC)

Hboot s-off (Revolutionary) is just a modified hboot. Patched with commands and s-off.

Radio s-off is permanent though because HTC can't risk patching out their legit devs. So, with this, it sticks until undone. When the method is released, I'll most likely have just a revolutionary hboot for this device from a friend of mine since the commands are all there and there is no ENG hnoot for this device.
