It also means u will have unrestricted access to messing with your phone's radio ;) Although, the android kernel itself restricts your access to the radio partition. For your safety.

actually,i think he said it pretty accurately.

per revolutionary:

Revolutionary will permanently unlock NAND write protection by default on the following phones:

HTC Sensation (pyramid)

HTC Evo 3D (shooter)

HTC EVO 3D GSM (shooteru)

HTC myTouch Slide 4G <-- :eek:

permanent nand unlock=radio secureflag off.

revolutionary only supports hboot 1.44.0007. from the pics in the thread,this is working on newer.

i.e.,phones you get now have unsuported hboots,thus revolutionary does not work on.

I was S-ON Unlocked and this worked for me on the third attempt at [wire-tapping].

WARNING: THIS METHOD MIGHT WIPE YOUR SD CARD

Went to fastboot usb after s-off and flashed recovery.img. Worked but could not read SDCARD... Took SD put into the PC and it says unreadable. I assume the process of grounding the wire on the SD cover corrupts the card.

So I took my spare SD -put pyr-o-ics1.1.3.zip on it and installed it through recovery.

Running JuopunutBear HBOOT works just fine..

Ok after a few tense moments I got s-off! After trying and getting the backup failed msg every time i tried I found a solution....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25186986

It has files for a different phone but the executable its self is universal so put .1 in the adb folder instead of .2 and voila it worked....

THe wire trick was not as hard as i thought...the timing did not to seem to be a biggie....the hole was deeper than i thought and I used a paperclip wrapped in electric tape....

Once I got s-off I was stuck...I don't know if it was because I loaded the hboot that came with the app or what...I said yes so not sure....but I flashed recovery and then I was getting errors in recovery about not able to mount anything....well luckily I flashed a nandroid earlier today....I restored that back up and voila back up.....

So get the .1 version of the app....do a nandroid before you try this....and now I can flash kernels on the fly...yay.....thanks guys!!!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] GravvyTrain:
Question: What did you ground the wire on? The SDcard cover?

I went through the same scenario, but found out that recovery wouldn't mount SD because it was corrupted during the process...even after formatting the card, it still won't mount in recovery. Good thing it was the 8gb that got screwed and not the 32gb that I had to use to install a new ROM.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] beezie916:
Yeah the SD Card cover....and yeah I used an old card when i did the shorting...but after i had the mounting issue with the new card but like I said after it did the restore...all was well :) I don't think you have to flash the hboot included....you have s-off...I am not knowledgeable enough to know what the benefit of installing the different hboot is....

So what's the deal with this method? I see it listed on their site, but I'm also hearing stories of bricks. Is it safe or not to do? I'd hate to brick my phone that's only a month old...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Indirect:
I bricked 2 of mine before they altered the exploit. I did the exact same thing this time but used a wire (you NEED to use a wire or a paperclip with electrical tape. Wire is preferred though, I stripped an ethernet cable since there's like 7 wires in there total. Strip it to copper on both ends just enough to get contact and follow the method) but anyway, I have s-off now and it's beautiful. I also found that you can restore the sdcard after corruption, just create a new partition table and then repartition it. ) Hope this helped.

Proof of sdcard restore:

Also proof that I'm not turbo-tarded:

I can atest it works...v2 that they have on thier site didn't work but I found v1 and if I can do it then anyone can...I suck at linux (not go for an IT Networking student but its a fact of life...) but I did it 1st time through....just make sure you have a nand back up before hand....not sure how you make a partition table but once i did the restore I was all good

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] onebenadams:
Hey guys and gals, I have achieved s-off using this after a few tries. I would suggest using an old coaxial wire small enough to fit in the hole as instructed as I've tried Ethernet wires and they don't stay together to complete the 2nd contact. Thanks so much for this.

P.S. I flashed the hboot suggested or engineered by the dev(s) as well. Thank you, Thank You...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
The stiffer ethernet cable (meant for running in walls more than being used as patch cables) has solid conductor wire which would IMO be perfect. Any solid conductor wire of small enough gauge would be good. Even stranded wire should work if you twist the wires together nice and tight. In fact, a bread wrapper tie would be something everyone can relate to, is small diameter, is insulated, and very easy to find without cutting any otherwise useful cable. All you need is an electrical conductor that is insulated from your ESD harboring little hands.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] onebornoflight:
Well I'm from the G1 days when certain radios weren't compatible with certain hboots and you *would* brick your device using this radio with that hboot so I wondered if the 1.45.1313 hboot had compatibility issues lol.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] silverton:
Worked for me! I even panicked as the phone was sitting at, what I'll assume is, the bootloader flash screen. Cause I had not swapped SD cards. So I was forced in to it anyway. It did not corrupt my SD card thankfully!!

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cparekh:
So far data seems to work for me. I am running Hboot-1.45.1313 and Radio-11.16.3504.20_2, which is probably what was on the phone when I ran Juopuntbear.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] scotty1223:
have you guys having data issues tried this:

-replace your recovery with the stock one(prolly need to be running a stockish rom,but im not 100% sure on that)

-select "factory data reset" and/or "clear storage" options in hboot

afterward reinstall your custom recovery

the rezound has 4g issues after s off and bouncing around fimrwares,and we have found the above to settle them. i personally have done factory reset,and clear storage at different times,and both seemed to work.

i personally try not to mix and match hboots and radios too much. with a patched hboot giving you s-off,you dont have much choice,but with radio s-off,i always run the hboot that matches the radio and firmware(i.e. run whole ruus. without system,boot and recovery if you plan to immediately flash a rom)

since PxxxIMG files are easily installed via fastboot in ruu mode,i have found much less reason for running eng hboots full time. its easy enuff to flash one if the need arrises.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cparekh:
I am answering outside of my knowledgeable area, but I think this why the instruction on running this exploit tell you to go to a stock ROM first. This way, the hboot, radio, etc. all match.

When I did this I started with a completely stock phone, unlocked the bootloader, installed CWM via fastboot, and then flashed superuser. This way, I started with a rooted, stock phone with matching everything. This is per the instructions, and it may be that way for a reason.

I don't really understand the matching of radio, hboot, kernel, etc., but I know it has been an issue with other Android devices I have unlocked.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
My new replacement is coming tomorrow, and I'm getting S-Off as soon as I get it. This S-Off process seems easy enough,the wire trick seems tricky. What is a good wire to use? I'm considering a bread tie,or Ethernet cable.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] manimmal:
Ethernet will probably be the easiest choice. That's what I used at least, I had an old one lying around. But some have reported success using paperclips, so a bread tie might work too.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
I stripped apart a broken RCA cable. It was a nice one to, so the cable looks just like the one in the video. Any tips you can share? I've read the whole thread a couple times over. Is there a certain length the wire needs to be (going into the the hole)?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] manimmal:
No specific length really (mine was maybe half fingernail length)...just as long as you have enough to connect the ends to the hole. I'm sure you've done so, but make sure you keep that insulation on the wire! Just leave the tips bare. Took me about 8-12 times to get the timing down right...lol. With some it was a one-hitter-quitter. Hope you'll be successful with it the 1st time. SN: I never got a chance to use it but they say the All-In-One toolkit works really great. Might wanna check that thread out if you haven't done so already. :good:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jjbz:
For the wire trick, I used a 1/2 foot of old coaxial cable from the middle of the cable and stripped off a 1/2 inch of each end's protective layer. I've used the same wire to JB s-off a sensation, amaze, and mt4gs.

The most important thing is not so much the timing of the contacts, but that the wire is insulated from your hands and that the each end of the wire makes clean contact. I've never gotten it on the first try, so it's normal for it to take multiple attempts. The controlbear.exe makes a backup, so after the first attempt fails, you can keep trying again pretty fast.

When you revert to stock for s-off, make sure 'fast boot' in 'power' settings is unchecked, that usb debugging is checked, and that pdanet or other programs like that are closed. Hopefully this keeps you from having issues like I did.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
OK finally question (as of now Xo) In the video, the dude is touching the exposed cable against the SD card slot*. Is that ok?

*Check Attachment
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jjbz:
It might be ok for him but I think it's best if you don't touch the wire at all. With an insulated wire, you shouldn't have to touch either of the ends anyway. This will help ensure you don't short the board and/or sdcard.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] hapa8o8:
isn't a 1/2 foot a bit excessive?:eek: I only used 3 inches~:silly:

Hmmm, I'm having that werid loss of data issue. Do I just needa restore my stock nandroid?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jjbz:
To make sure you have the latest radio, I would use the 1.63 RUU to flash back to stock in the bootloader. JB S-OFF will stay so you won't have to do the wire trick again.

If data works fine on stock (which it should), you'll have to re-unlock bootloader with HTCDev Unlock_code.bin and re-flash CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7 in fastboot before installing an ICS ROM.

I'm not sure why so many people have the intermittent data issue on ICS ROMs. I had the issue on two devices: one was S-ON and the other was Revolutionary S-OFF.

Looking back through this thread, Indirect says JB S-OFF allows for true radio S-OFF, unlike Revolutionary S-OFF and S-ON. Newer ICS ROMs might be incompatible with older radios. This could be the reason for the ICS data issue, but I can't be certain.

All I know is that with a clean install of the 1.63 RUU and JB S-OFF, I haven't had the ICS data issue on either device. Hope this helps.

Is this true, I'm Rev S-OFF and running AOKP, would love to try this, but do I definitely have to flash stock first? If so, there's no issue if I restore a previous backup, right? (probably a dumb question...)

Also, is this the correct latest radio/the one that hot reboots under Rev S-OFF?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jjbz:
http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear-public-beta-0-1/instructions/

They say in the instructions that JuopunutBear might work on custom ROMs, but it hasn't been verified. The latest radio is in Blue's post for PG59IMG's. The 1.63 PG59IMG has the latest radio, but I don't think you should update to it yet.

If you upgrade to 1.63, you WON'T be able to use Revolutionary S-OFF (in case JuopunutBear fails for whatever reason). So just to be safe, stick to the 1.28 for now. JuopunutBear should work just fine on 1.28, and you can update the radio with the 1.63 PG59IMG AFTER doing JuopunutBear.

You should use the 1.28 PG59IMG instead of a previous NAND backup because it's recommended to be on the stock HBOOT when doing JuopunutBear.

After you use the 1.28 PG59IMG to get back to complete stock, follow my root guide to do the rest. It might take some time, but it's worth it if you want true radio S-OFF with JuopunutBear.

After you get JuopunutBear S-OFF, you can flash the latest 1.63 PG59IMG to get the latest radio. JB S-OFF will stay unless you manually put it back to S-ON in fastboot, so no worries about losing JB S-OFF.
