So its a s-off procedure that works on more than the vivid?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
Yep. If you look at Globatron's sig it shows all the devices that this tool is for.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bproulx:
It works on all 8660 chipsets I believe..they figured out some kinda exploit to acheive true s-off..and now everyone (myself included) is like..tweaked waiting for them to release it to us to play with. Patience..it will come. Ours is not to question timeframes or ETAs. Just be grateful, and be happy someone took the time to figure it out.

Raider ics update have been suspended indefinitely in korea:(

The news blasted our hope.. I feel really annoyed..

So, from now on, I can't help but wait for the S-OFF..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapdaddy:
That really stinks, and I'm sorry to hear it. Hopefully this S-OFF tool gets released sooner rather than later.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bproulx:
That is terrible news..wondering if I'm looking at the same in Canada..? Hope s-off happens soon.

Don't count on it. Chat-r which is a subdivision of Rogers will only roll out an HBOOT update as fast as rogers. And Rogers rarely does that. We got it bad over here.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bproulx:
Lol its ok..I bought the phone from Rogers originally..still have the sim. Just unlocked it and went to chatr for the price..$45 unlimited north American talk and text..I love it.. getting way off topic tho. I'm just as excited as anyone could be for this to come out tho..I love tinkering and this tool will really help with that.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] exynos5250x:
Yeah htc will cancel the ics update of the htc raider in their homeland south korea, sorry to say this but u make no sense man ><
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] qberty:
You do realize that HTC is Taiwanese right? Their HQ being in...Taiwan.

And HTC doesn't control updates to phones directly. ISPs do. Way off broski xD
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Hunt3r.j2:
1. HTC is based in ROC.

2. South Korea has a weird market for smartphones and usually this means carrier tweaks and hardware changes, like terrestrial TV support and the like. It should come out eventually, but S-OFF would help and so would a WWE RUU.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bproulx:
Not to beat a dead horse but..still seeing a lot of off topic posts..anyone who wants to know where HTC is based can easily visit their site. This thread is for S-OFF for the vivid, raider, and velocity respectively. Just sayin.. I don't wanna see another war on xda.

Thanks goes to Fuses, Hyuh, Globatron and every other member of the team! I am so glad I stuck with the HTC Raider from the start, you guys are making this device and all the other supported device so much more better with your hard work!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
Beta testing complete?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bproulx:
Wait..does this mean release soon??
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
Not sure. Beta testing for the Rezound has been done for awhile, as well as some other devices. Talk over in the Rezound forum is that they are still trying to iron out some issues with the MT4GS before they release it. Not confirmed but that's what I read over there. I'm sure they will release it when they are certain that it is safe for all the devices and not before.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] haggardh:
Put a disclaimer up. I don't mind if its not safe.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
Do you guys just want s-off to say you have it or is there like a core reason that im missing here? Besides being able to change radios and the hboot which is dangerous.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
Doing something like that only makes more issues for the Devs. Most developers don't want to release something that isn't completely safe for everyone.

Not really needed but definitely make things a bit easier. Not having to use fastboot to flash kernels is something I would love to have.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
Ahh ok yea i guess that would be kinda nice.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Brand New:
Not to mention it's a lot safer to flash roms/kernels.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tanner4137:
It would be amazing. We could do all customizations from our phone. No computer needed.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] stgeorge88:
Guess it means ICS for Canadian raider owners?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tanner4137:
Pretty sure. :D we'll all be able to use the same ROMs

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Mad Medik:
Perhaps not for those that already have an official ICS based hboot... But for those of us who are stuck on gingerbread be aide our carriers haven't released an update, it is more than just a nice to have...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sorceforge:

run it as administrator and make sure youre sd card is in the phone.

can we still use the fastboot flash boot boot.img command? just curious
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
Shouldn't be any reason why you can't. S-off just allows for flashing through recovery but should be able to do fast boot commands as well.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Marshmellow92:
dude thats just because youre not doing it right. trust me i got that error code like 13 times. what you do is, touch one end of the wire to the little circle underneath where you took the little platform off hold it!. then touch the other end of the wire to the little piece of metal sticking out right on top of the sd card for like a second let it go then touch it again for 1 more second. all this while still holding down the first end to the little tiny circle. when you touch the second end to the top of the sd card let both ends go and you should be successful.

This will take like 5 tries because you need to keep the first end steady! and on the cirlcle the whole time.!

I need a really small screw driver..effff
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
Doesn't affect what you can/can't flash, wonder if it shows the Juopunutbear logo at the top of the hboot. That may be it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jmone:
Interestingly, my phone now says it is "Locked", not "Unlocked" "Re-Locked"....

For fun I tried to flash an older radio.img while in this state and got "Failed (remote: not allowed)" error

So a few Q's on once we have S-OFF, do we need to Unlock to fash ZIP, IMG etc

Thanks

Nathan

PS - can you flash an IMG file from the SD Card?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Marshmellow92:
Can some one put either here or in the general forum what exactly does s-off change. Like can we be on ics hboot and be able to install a gb Rom. Or how to flash a kernel in recovery. Mmm like anything else that's specifically changes

Thank you very much
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
You have to be unlocked to flash zip files from recovery. What do you mean flash an img file? You wouldn't flash that in recovery, you would fast boot flash that file type.

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 PM ----------

Unless someone made one, don't think you can just install a gb rom on ics hboot. Still wouldn't have the correct permissions.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jmone:
Sorry - was whas not quite clear. I've tried using Fastboot (fastboot.exe flash radio radio.img) and I get the following (both with the bootloader locked and unlocked), so thought that there may be another way to do so from the SD Card.

< waiting for device >
sending 'radio' (22001 KB)... OKAY [ 2.957s]
writing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 3.273s

Does S-OFF allow falshing of the Radios or do we also need Eng S-Off?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
Seems that we may need engineering s-off to flash the radio. I believe you are correct.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] iStatiK:
Does taking off the .exe after fastboot change anything?

fastboot flash radio radio.img
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
Was wondering that too, thought maybe he just had a typo in his post.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jmone:
Nope, fastboot runs fine, sends the Radio.img just fine but the phone refuses to then install it. All other img work OK (boot, recovery etc). I'm still guessing we need Eng S-Off for radio.

Boy have HTC locked the HW down, I came from an HD2 and there was non of this needed!

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] iStatiK:
Reading around on that error looks like we do need ENG S-OFF.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ryan09266:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that to flash through fastboot you have to be ENG, i thought you can only flash radio through PH39IMG.zip method with SHIP. Also please excuse me if this is a dumb question, but before doing this do you need to have already unlocked the bootloader from htcdev or can I do this without that process?

Edit: Found my answer, just in case anybody else can't find it, yes you do have to have htcdev unlock

You had to put the radio.img in the PHXXX.zip and flash it thru hboot
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jmone:
Worth a try but no luck, same result with SuperCID.

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

I'd had already tried simply putting the desired radio.img into a PH39IMG.zip and while it did seem to do something during HBoot, the radio was not flashed. I presume other files are needed as is see there is a singed by file in the orginal PH39IMG.ZIP file. I also tried the same idea putting the radio in teh firmware.zip --> other zip like with the OTA files but you get a no "script error".

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] doktor buknasty:
I think that you are actually s-off already. Check to see if you are s-off and if your bootloader is locked. If both are true, run these commands in fastboot:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash boot <boot image for your rom>

fastboot flash recovery <your recovery>

fastboot reboot

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] meatwad0222:
Flash everything back through fastboot
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Snargaflab:
I don't think that a lot of people in this thread get what this S-OFF (Radio S-OFF) is. In a lot of older phones S-OFF was part of the hboot but on the newer phones it's a flag on the radio called secureflag. You can check this and even turn your phone back S-ON (although there is a proper procedure you must follow first) with the fastboot oem readsecureflag and fastboot oem writesecureflag. When this is 0 Your phone can flash anything, including modified hboots (such as the one that gets offered in the install process) and eng hboots if they're available. You can flash anything to the phone and it will not S-ON the phone, as far as i know it can only be done with that command. Use the command fastboot oem writecid 11111111 and get SuperCID and your phone is free to do whatever you wish basically, make sure you only flash things that are compatible with your phone though. I have a eng hboot on my Amaze and it even has a fastboot oem writeimei command. As far as I know it's illegal to change that in most places lol, only reason I even say anything about that command is because I love how much control it really gives us over our phones.
