[LG Nitro HD] Ritcher:
before cm9 this phone was a dead end, it has some of the best hardware ATM but the software from LG sucked, and noone seemed to care.. but then Ricardo's cm9 saved this phone, with cm9 you dont need anything else, and whats missing now you can do it yourself like the V6 Supercharger script.. the rest is superfluous..

of course in about two months those phones will be around and this one will be left behind, but for those who already got it, its absolutely unnecessary to trade it for one of those since this one will be getting updates regularly from cm

not to mention sd card slot and removable battery which i care about a lot and some of those new phones wont have
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
vano's just mad because he dumped his nitro about 4 hours before cm9 was announced for it, I wouldn't put too much credence in his post.

but yeah, a quadcore with a non-removable 1850Mah battery.............. ;-0

and we all know what waiting for the next great phone is like.
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
If you get the one x, get the dual core. It performs better in every scenario than the quad core
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
I was replying to the OP, with understanding of weather they should get Nitro soon or wait for a new phone to arrive.

In either case the answer is wait for new phone to arrive. You must hate that person to advise otherwise.

The one x for ATT won't be quad core, at least last time I checked. So the battery shouldn't be any worse then Nitro (actually I doubt there is any other phone in history with worse battery then nitro).

Besides the battery one of the major issues for me is that I do hiking a lot so having working GPS and compass is essential for me, nitro doesn't have WORKING compass. I also love to listen music with good headphones, and yet be able talk on the phone through these headphones, unfortunately for nitro, the best headphones with mic are designed for iphone, which don't work (mic wise) on nitro, yet any other phones I've owned and tried had problems with any headsets.

So here it is, 3 hardware related strikes that makes nitro out. Oh and that stupid port cover, makes me want rip it off with pliers, that stupid thing doesn't let phone fit in the belt pouch while plugged in into external battery pack. They priced this brick at $600 - what a joke!
[LG Nitro HD] carpenterethan:
can you show proof
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
Look up a review of the one x, look at the benchmarks with dual and quad
[LG Nitro HD] gmkelly001:
It's tough to draw any useful conclusions with the benchmarks right now. With the two benchmarks leaked of the AT&T One X, Quadrant only tests a single core and Vellamo is a Qualcomm benchmark. In both situations, you'd expect the Tegra 3, which is still a Cortex A9 to lose to the S4, which is closer to the next-gen Cortex A15. I think it'll work out that any software that can take advantage of four cores will be a little bit faster on the Tegra 3, everything else will be faster on the S4. I'm sure either will be "fast enough" anyways.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
You do understand that advantage having many cores not only for applications that can utilize all the cores, but also be able able run multiple applications at the same time?

That's something benchmarks can't show you...

Btw, One X for AT&T won't have quad core Tegra 3, but will have dual core Qualcomm instead, because of LTE...this kind of blows, now doesn't it?
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
Vano, the dual core is better or equivalent in most applications, due to the newer architecture (a9 vs a15)

Beta Testing Complete....

MOD EDIT:: At globatron's request, there is to be no posting in this thread unless you are directly responding to either fuses or globatron, prior to the official release. This is a development thread, not a lounge.

Fuses and Globatron

NO PMs, PMs will not be answered
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
awesome man! and i was going to pm you to congratulate you, but you dont want us to. so i wont :D lol

so i assume you got it working on your device? or are those 2 different phones? if it is your device and you have the ability to switch it from s=on to s=off, can you change boot logos and kernels through recovery now?
[HTC Amaze 4G] globatron:
Confirming Fuses post, this is not a joke and not a troll.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
Well this is certainly a step in the right direction :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Reviewers:
I'm happy to see this and could help me very much.

PM me if you can please.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
well i never thought this was a joke lol :rolleyes:

but thanks for confirming. cant wait till we can all try it. :D (can you guys make a section on the bottom of the post that tells how close it is to release? it will save you from people asking for ETA's)
[HTC Amaze 4G] auiotour:
Great job, glad to see that someone got this working.

i have 2nd screen on my phone the only difference i see is "S-ON". but all the other options are same as in the second screen posted by you.
[HTC Amaze 4G] globatron:
You really posted that?

Actually, it was not intentional to have one hboot and one fastboot picture.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:
Lmao
[HTC Amaze 4G] alx294:
^LOL

however, THIS IS FANTASTIC!!!! Can i PLEASE ask how you did it? so many other things have been tried by so many other devs, so im a little curious lol.

anyway, THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] ashok.antony:
Good news indeed. Excited to see this.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gypsy214:

I really didn't think this day would come,i am so happy like a little girl :p I and others thought the Development for this beast of a phone was dead(especially w the HTC One coming out).

Mad props to you & everyone involved & i cannot wait to finally get my Amaze S-OFF O_o TY very much ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] nielp96:
They are also working on the HTC vivid as well so it seems legit
[HTC Amaze 4G] sglscovill:
Who knows anymore, I have never heard soooo many stories about rom updates and s-off. I am doubting ics will ever show up! Was mass excited to get this phone and now I wish I woulda stuck it out with my DHD. Frustrated :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] slapdaddy:
From what I ready, the bounty (at one point) for the Vivid was around $1500 cash and $1000 in phones lol. I could be wrong though as I'm just getting used to being around the Vivid section of the forum - I'm getting one this week. :) I don't think that bounty still exists any longer unfortunately.

Fuse and Globatron - awesome work and keep it up! I would love to see you get the Vivid S-OFF'd as well!
[HTC Amaze 4G] ThaPirato:
I would just like to thank Fuses and Globatron & everybody else involved in this great Development,hopefully you're making good progress & also if you need (which i doubt) anymore testers,you are more than welcome to have full SSH access to my Amaze as i have a Sensation too i can use as a daily driver ;)

Anyways thank you all for keeping the Amaze alive for me as i was losing hope lol :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bling_Diggity:
How sure are we that this wasn't an April Fools Day prank again? Just wondering...I mean it's kinda cruel...but still...just wondering. At any rate, I may be selling my Amaze soon so I can upgrade to the HTC One S or Samsung Galaxy S3 when it comes out. Honestly this phone has been fairly disappointing in almost every aspect. I kinda wish I had held on to my Nexus One longer. That phone was a workhorse like no other. The Amaze is finicky at best and downright unusable at times. Probably a big reason why HTC has been losing $$ lately.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Good point. There was another April fools day thread with jellybean leak. Hope this is real.

[HTC Amaze 4G] sglscovill:
Can you really blame people for disbelieving? How many times have we been told this type of news and it winds up b.s.? Nothing against these developers at all. I personally don't know them. Just don't wanna get my hopes up again. If they have really done it then good on them. Trust that I will be beyond very impressed and I will apologize for my comments. I would love nothing more than to finally s-off my phone and fill it with ics goodness.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
It doesn't matter. If you dont believe it, don't follow the thread. If you do, wait patiently. No need to spam the thread.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sglscovill:
Yeah you are right and I will stop spamming. Didn't mean to be a hypocrite and I do apologize for that.

Closing the thread makes it more difficult for us to keep our efforts in one place so we would prefer that it remain open.

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 Amaze 4G 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 response to something either Fuses or I have posted.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dmunseyautotech:
I can speak on globatrons behalf as far as saying he has done great work on the evo view tablet if not for him a lot of view tablets would still be bricked stuck with s-on on the honeycomb update. Thanks for the good work man.

[HTC Amaze 4G] psxnitro:
This awesome news!!! guess I'm a bit late to the party :D. I almost gave up on my Amaze. For someone like me that flashes ROMS on the go, S-OFF is a must for me, since I'm not always in front of my home PC to flash kernels. Work PC's can't use adb :p

kudos to globatron, loved your work on EVO View!!:cool:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
Success! S-OFF achieved on LOCKED Amaze 4G!

S-OFF has been achieved on a locked, non-HTCDev registered device!

Proof!

The date was to disregard any people saying that this was an April Fool's prank.

Another note: DO NOT PM ME!
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
HELL YES!!!! i knew it was true!!! also, nice branding at the top lol :p looks good when replacing the "locked/unlocked" text :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Awesome. I would have applied for the beta testing too, but I'm guessing I'm too late.

If this is out when I get the amaze I will make a splash image tool :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] lgtsanev:
Good news, but S-OFF on locked Amaze doesn't mean anything to 95% of this forum. Patiently awaiting for more news on the s-off progress for devices with unlocked bootloader :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
Sombody tested it with unlocked bootloader and it went fine

[HTC Amaze 4G] :
This maybe not the best place to post this but if those guys really did it(which is great), what happens to the money already donated to revolutionary? I got the impression they are different groups, correct me if I'm wrong. But to me it seems those guys deserve that money better. Sorry for any unintended off-topic :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] misfit61871:
Some money has been donated to revolutionary directly for the purchase of an amaze, but I believe there was a separate thread that was money pledged solely for whoever obtained s-off first.

[HTC Amaze 4G] gaww:
Further on this. I hope you do not piss off these people HERE who have done the work that those (revolutionary) that have not. The thread was for anyone who would get this done.

Revolutionary had found an exploit to enable s=off for the earlier European version of this phone, but HTC closed the door. If they are now interested in doing something and are looking for donations to get on it again - that is a totally separate matter and has nothing to do with what is happening here.

I did not pledge in the thread here but will definitely donate here if this is successful.

Guys, all these posts belong in the Pledge thread. As aj_2423 stated (which is my job to do :mad:) please leave this thread for development only. Any more questions about donations, please place them in the right thread. Any more questions about how the process will happen to obtain s-off when it's released will just have to wait until the dev(s) release it.

Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Shouldn't they keep it secret, you know so HTC doesn't patch whatever exploit they found? After all most users only care if they did it and not actually how. Or did you meant questions about the tool and not method of obtaining it?

[HTC Amaze 4G] M9x3mos:
This is great work devs BTW missed the op for testing was later sorry if you need anyone else please let me know.

Regaurdless it will probably be patched later but why give them a advance on the exploit used until is actually ready to be used. Kinda like giveing away your war strategy before actually attacking.

Also Ben if you knew not to post why did you? LOL

Been said enough times not only for people that were in beta or looking to.

Plus becareful you don't want to annoy or offend anyone as you may be breaking law in Arizona soon.
[HTC Amaze 4G] wardfan220:
Thanks but that's my job. Members posting things like this just perpetuates the problem. I've already threatened infractions for doing this exact thing in another thread, I'd hate to have to do it here too.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ed116:
Quick Question: I see you could edit the Status of the bootloader (Locked/Unlocked ect..) with this when we achieve S-OFF and we Relock our bootloader for warranty purposes could we change the RELOCKED to just Plain LOCKED so HTC can warrant the phone for ANY Issue? Im not trying to do anything illegal here so if it is plese delete comment.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dharvey4651:
Temp bans seem to work rather well too when following directions is an impossibility.

It has been asked several times in this thread NOT to post questions unless they are in direct response to a post from either fuses or globatron. Nobody but fuses or globatron can answer this question at this point. Wait until the tool is officially released and then ask again.

SIDE NOTE TO ALL--->

wardfan220 has asked repeatedly to respect the OP's wishes not to post in this thread until official release.

As usual, it seems to be very difficult for most users to respect the OP's request and wardfan220's instruction.

Any future posts that are not in direct response to either fuses or globatron will simply be deleted and infractions issued from here on out . No exceptions.

You've all been warned.

EDIT:: 2 posts posted AFTER this post have already been deleted. Guys.. This is not a request. Please do not force me to temporarily close this thread pending release.
[HTC Amaze 4G] globatron:
dharvey,

Feel free to close the thread for now. We'll send you a message when we're ready to release. We have completed our testing for Amaze, so there will be no more activity until release.
