Hey simonsimons,

I'm really interested in your progress.

Is there any chance, that your tool will be able to unlock a europe Sensation with stock, locked hboot 1.27.0000 and stock ICS?

I have another Sensation with revolutionary s-off hboot 1.27.1100, running ICS 4.0.3, if that could be any help (partition tables or anything you would need).

If you say no, it never will, ok. If yes, tell me which information you need.

Thanks in advance.

I love how when you say "Any HTC device", you actually mean any HTC android device.

Yeah this is under the android dev and hacking forum, but neither the portal post nor the first page of posts mention anything about an operating system; you had me excited for a minute. Now I'm sad.

Is there any update on this for the one x variations? On my evo lte I tried using the bltool to unlock my misc partition and it worked and changed the img. When I write the img back to /misc the bootloader still shows as locked. I verified that the img was actually written to /misc and it indeed was. I even tried writing a misc img from a evo lte that was unlocked via htcdev and that still didnt unlock my bootloader. I'm think the lock/unlock isnt in the misc partition of the one x variants. Im just looking for some insight on this to get something working on the evo lte.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Paresh Kalinani:
So, how does this NOT void our WaRRanTy?

Look, I don't see how does this not void our warranty! :confused:

We'll not unlock the bootloader using HTCDev.com , but then also when we again want to lock it (I only know how to do this by 'fastboot oem lock'), it'll always show

RELOCKED.

:)

It's that

simple

for HTC to know that we've unlocked the bootloader earlier! :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Because I can make it locked like it did before you unlocked it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Paresh Kalinani:

OMG!!! You can LOCK it? Sure?

If I unlock my bootloader using your tool, then how should I LOCK it again?

Thank you soooo much

THANKS MAN!! THANKS! I'll try it!!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DeniCevap:
Another bump to this topic.

Not according to Swedish Support, if you touch the mobile in any way ( unlocking it ) voids your warranty. Now maybe he/she lied to be to not do it which I do not hope he/She did.

What is the best rooting tool that is 'confirmed' working and not voiding warranty if there even is one.

I have followed with interest your perseverance. I apologize, but I want to ask, can I use this file to Lock /not relock/, my HTC One X, to keep the warranty valid on my phone?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Nope. Not until you get soff. If that big bounty is ever claimed, I'll get you guys locked and son for warranty purposes:). Still working on the update of the utility to be universal. Just having problems reading some stuff so I am trying native c on the device itself. Which is trickier then one knows
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ianhawke:
This is actually fantastic news and an amazing work direction. It's great to know that someone is going to teach HTC to stop meddling with people's money. If this works it will actually make my phone again an investment, and not just an expense. The only solution I've seen to this relocked crap is to either change vendor or go back to Nokia 3310.

I'm got an EMEA Evo 3D with HBOOT 1.53.0007. Had to send it for repairs and got mb swapped. Now HTCDev won't unlock it anymore. It's a known issue and loads of people complain about it.

Upgraded it to official ICS and it sucks as there was no tomorrow.

If you can get me Unlocked (don't care about S-OFF) I reckon rooting and 4exting it will be pretty easy. I've got no problems paying for the dev work if it does what it says without braking anything in the phone itself.

I'm really looking forward to your next release, and will be following you up close.

Thank you for the time and effort you are putting into this. I have not enough words to describe my appreciation.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BlownFuze:
I just grabbed a tmobile galaxy S2 yesterday, and have read through the root via odin thread.. along with the whole flash counter increase because of using odin.

Now on the galaxy note, I was able to bypass using odin (no counter increase), and flashed the recovery.img directly with adb - using "dd if" command to push directly to the recovery partition ...

This leaves me with 2 questions for the devs on this forum.

Anyone know the recovery partition location on this device? dev/block/mm.....?

Any reason someone thinks this isn't feasible?

Thanks for any input.

Also, rooting via odin doesn't trip your counter. Only trips your counter if you flash a kernel through odin. I rooted through odin and counter is still at 0.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] deathknellx:
How can I check where my counter is @? And what does it all mean?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
You'll have to go into download mode (the first thing you did to root):

1) Pull battery, put battery back in

2) hold vol +/- while plugging your phone into your computer and continue holding until download warning pops up

3) press vol + to enter download mode

There will be two lines to the effect of "Custom Binary Download" and "Current Binary". If they say "NO" and "Samsung Official", respectively, then your counter is at 0. Otherwise it will say "YES" and some counter of what number you're at.

What it means is how many times you have flashed a kernel through odin (NOT CWM; flashing through CWM does not trip any counter). The "big deal" is that this could theoretically be used against you for warranty purposes. If your counter is not at 0 and you send it in for warranty and Samsung checks it (rather unlikely, but possible), they will see that you rooted your phone and can choose to not honor the warranty. But thanks to Mr. X, we now have a flashable zip in CWM that will reset your counter to 0.

There wouldn't be any surprising element from Samsung if they've released ICS officially. If you've seen the Beta update of ICS given to SII, you'd know that. Lot of Touchwiz just spoils the look of ICS. In fact it just looks like GB with Android version 4.0.3

But the advantage is, you could use that as a base for porting CyanogenMod 9, and that'd be perfect.

I'm sure hardcore Custom ROM users will not be going to use official ICS ROM from Samsung.
