You couldn't miss it, it gives the message over and over again until you touch the GND at least once with the wire. Make sure the files are in the same folder as your ADB and that your HTC Sync is disabled.

Yes.

I was running it just unzipped from a new directory. It was kinda doing things, but never told me to do the trick, but now since I've moved it that's all I get

---------- Post added at 07:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 AM ----------

Yea they are all there...
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
aww yeah! s-off took 4 tries. this is what i did just saying.

downloaded files. put them into the all in one toolkit v2 data folder (where adb and fastboot was.

pluged my rooted gb rom phone that has the updated ICS radios installed into charge only mode with debugging on

ran control bear as administrator waited til it said wire trick, and IF IT SAID S-OFF FAILED, I DIDNT REBOOT MY PHONE AT ALL I LEFT IT ON THE SCREEN. AND JUST CLOSED THE CONTROL BEAR AND RE-RAN IT AND KEPT TRYING THE WIRE TRICK. and after 4 tries walla. :)

now all i need is someone to reupload the stock gb ruu cause i have the crappy ics leak radios and i just wanna be stock as i can be.
[HTC Rezound] TheRedmonian:
That's odd. I must have tried to run the program 20 times, got some errors here and there, but I never saw that.
[HTC Rezound] cstrife999:
Okay... Somehow it worked... I randomly did the trick without it asking and on first go it worked!!! So I guess... somehow... I'm fine?
[HTC Rezound] TheRedmonian:
Your lucky, it wouldn't let me re run it. I would have to fastboot flash recovery every time and reinstall a rom just to make the program run again. It kept saying "No more beer for today" if I didn't.

---------- Post added at 06:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 AM ----------

If it says S-OFF you are.
[HTC Rezound] cstrife999:
Yup it does... Booted just fine too... I'm not going to ask... :-) On the positive side it only took me one try :-)
[HTC Rezound] TheRedmonian:
Congrats
[HTC Rezound] cstrife999:
Thanks lol. I wish I could say what happened, but all is good in the end.

[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
I had run into pretty much every problem you can seem to get into with this S-Off method. I recommend having a micro sd card reader. Sound like you need to format your SD then try again.

EDIT: Anyone working on a detailed tutorial for S-Off? Thinking of writing one up that's a bit more descriptive then what was provided to us.

The OP of this thread has a guide, but someone really needs to make a YouTube video to explain this for the non adventurous ones and the n00bs.
[HTC Rezound] ih8mydroid:
I would almost suggest to many of those who has achieved S-Off and who are having issues to just RUU. I ended up using the GB file while I was on new firmware with Newts Sense4 ICS rom. While S-Off worked on GB, I couldnt get it to go with the ICS file. I also did not load any other hboots, just restarted my phone and loaded a Ruu.

I know it sucks to go back to complete stock, but I am back to OTA GB, and I am having zero issues.
[HTC Rezound] sogone209:
yes for now, im on the rooted stock latest gb rom. i just hope thats enough to get the ota when and "if" it ever comes out. i love the gb rom. silky smooth and no problems. i just need to the radios instead of the leaked ics radios. it might not matter tho. anyways rooted gb with s-off locked should get me ota i would think...
[HTC Rezound] kkeller87:
anyone wanna try and help me out with this quick? I was stuck on 'waiting device' for a long time. After searching someone said to pull battery, boot into rom, and run control again. I did this, but cannot boot into my ROM. Any help is appreciated :)
[HTC Rezound] luke1333:
What kind of wire can I use? Can I cut an old power cord up???
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
You will have to flash the kernel or boot.img again
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Any wire will work. I used some old headphones. Just make sure you're getting good contact with the points
[HTC Rezound] luke1333:
Paper clip with electrical tape?
[HTC Rezound] TheRedmonian:
that should work too
[HTC Rezound] kkeller87:
ill be honest ive never flashed a boot.img before.

edit,

wait is that the ph98img ?

EDIT 2

Thanks for the tip. booted again
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
no time for some kernels to be flashed in recovery... con how do i make those? lol
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
Fyi. I'm at HomeDepot right now. It looks like a 20 guage wire fits perfectly.
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
A new install script needs to be created that flashes the boot.img while installing the ROM.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
what do you want? a zip that flashes boot images/kernels?

Ill make one
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
Updated OP with Globatron's post for internal memory fix....

Aso, can't wait for dev's to start utilizing s-off into their ROM zips!

That would be awesome con!
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Coming right up.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
umm i keep getting an error when trying to NAND while in amon ra... does it need to be fixed now or something?
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
i ran it and got the still sober error message and when I tried to rerun the program I get no beer for bear tonight.

Anyone know my best route to go here, as I'd hate to mess up in this stage.
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
Reread the directions on the wire trick and make sure you count between touching the wire to the ground tab thing.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
When someone says they can't wait for someone to put S-OFF into their ROMs, is that meaning we could S-OFF by flashing someone's ROM like they did the mainver fix? Is that even possible?
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
No not at all, it only means that the kernel will be included in the rom flash. You wont s off with only software and not jumping the hardware
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
What I mean is that we will be able to flash the ROMS without having to do the PH98IMG crap in the bootloader.

Ninja'd: Charlie beat me to it.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
That's what I figured, just like the old days, I was just caught off guard by the comment made last page.
[HTC Rezound] los1223:
Just so I understand correctly, this will let me downgrade to GB firmware? I'd like to go back since having flashed the leaked ICS firmware, my phone's been acting kinda funny. Mostly my battery life seems to have suffered drastically. Does anyknow what is the most likely cause? Radio? Could I just revert whatever is causing it? Do I just flash the one item in Fastboot?
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Ok, just for clarification. I'm on the newest ics leak. Once I get s off, do I have to fix internal or external sd card? I just downloaded the windows ics version of the s off tool.
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
Just checking to confirm this but are we sure that this needs S-off or just root?? because i can temp root still so will that work?

EDIT: that made no sense and i just realized it. i mean do we NEED to be unlocked or will temp root work?
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Any idea if the no beer for tonight is because of not jumping properly or something worse?
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
where does the file have to be located for it to recognize it?
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Some people were having internal storage mounting issues, but the S-OFF method wipes your SD card.
[HTC Rezound] luke1333:
Will try after church in a few hours. Need to charge to 100%	too
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Woot finally ! after numerous attempts it finally worked !

All I can say is , make sure you download the newest files that they fixed and just perservere and keep trying.

Basically, everytime I got an error I just reran the installer. It will start where it left off and just keep retrying until it goes through. Biggest issue I kept getting after the wire trick was daemon not running unable to start... I just kept restarting the installer and finally I got the success ! rebooted , installed their hboot and i was done.
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Have you installed a Rom before? The ph98img can be a lot of things. If you flashed a Rom the kernel was installed as a ph file
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Yes you have flashed them if you've run custom roms, either using a PH98IMG.zip or flashing the boot.img via fastboot.

All you need to do is flash the boot.img for the Rom you're running, then I would restore a nandroid and run the program again.

I had similar issues yesterday but was scared to do much because it was just out and not a lot of info was published about ending and restarting, but I flashed the PH98 from ky Rom, restored a nandroid, worked right off the bat and was done in about 10 minutes. Also reboot your computer before you start over.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
I have read through the threads , but haven't seen a good answer. So I used my old 16 gig sd card and during one of the attempts it made it through long enough to format or erase my sd card then errored out. I then grabbed my main 16 gig card and finished the process and am in the process of reformatting that card.

Issue is with the first card, I went to format and it only shows up as 108 kb's tried reformatting no difference. Any way to fix this ? or is the card borked.

Everything extracted to the same folder ? Otherwise, just rerun installer.. I had to rerun it numerous times and would get different errors each time it seemed. It finally ran for me .
[HTC Rezound] kkeller87:
thanks guys. After i asked the question i sat there and thought of the ph98img.zip and it clicked. i felt rather retarded after this.

I still havent gotten s-off, but i will be trying again after some house guests leave.
[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
Reflash your recovery and install a fresh Rom and wipe data, then a boot img

Try controlbear after that and it should work

alright guys, is anyone still having the problem where the screen is stuck at the white HTC logo after s-off'ing? i found a solution which worked for me.
[HTC Rezound] k.velve:
sd card issue

Performed the s-off successfully, very quickly. The card now doesn't mount. When i try to mount it is says "sd card is safe to remove". I can see it in recovery mode, but not in the ROM. Reformatted it using external card reader - no result.

Running CleanROM 1.7.5 :(

Any ideas how to fix it?
[HTC Rezound] androidrookie84:
Will there be an easier way to get the S-off?
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
i dont think we'll get an easier way soon. id say wait to see of they release another public beta if you dont feel safe doing this. this is public beta 0.1 so its pretty safe to assume there will be more to follow.
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
What HBoot version are you on now? If you are on 2.21 and GB it will cause issues.
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
This way is incredibly easy. You run a program, touch a wire to two contacts on the phone and wallaha, S-OFF.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
I dont think you can get much easier.... this is pretty easy
[HTC Rezound] k.velve:
2.21 exactly. I'm sort of a noob here. Please, briefly, what to do with it?
[HTC Rezound] x70xchallengerx:

I doubt it. The wire trick will be needed unless a new method is figured out.
[HTC Rezound] androidrookie84:
Will this work for the wire trick?
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
You need to READ the first post.. It has that question answer in the Prerequisite section.
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
Well the easy way is to make a backup of your ROM, Run the GB RUU, flash recovery again, and restore your ROM.

Here is a link to the RUU - http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0ace69/n/RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_1.02.605.6_Radio_RS_0.95.00.1013r_3161E_9K_NV_8k_1.12_9k_1.83_V_APT_release_221502_signed.exe

[HTC Rezound] billhilt:
+ 1

Same here had to run it like 5 times till I got a suuny day and cold beer . BTW I had to manually boot to bootloader thru recovery to get the script to complete and dont forget to exit out of HTC sync before you start . Thanks so much for this just wondering what I can do now that i couldnt do before . I had to laugh fumbling around with wires and contacts kinda reminds me of the old d**h net days. Oh how I miss those days.
[HTC Rezound] NAU420:
I've been trying all night with no luck yet. Now when I re-format my sd card it only says I have 128 KB to format on a 32g card. This is the first time it said this.
[HTC Rezound] :
for some reason I ran into this too...

i downloaded the "hp storage disk format tool" via google and then I ran it, it told me it was locked... got pissed off, took it out of the pc, put it back in, boom... it worked. It's fixable, just keep messing with it, google is your friend too...
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
does anyone know if you have to unlock your phone again after you get s-off?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
I had the same issue with my 16g card, said only 108kb.. I used Gparted live disk and fixed it by recreating the partition and then formatting back to fat32. Now , its all fixed.
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
After I did the wire trick, the program printed a lot of "Success" about beers on the screen, and then ended with "S-OFF Failed" and now I can't boot my phone, and can't get the program to start again.

What should I try next?
[HTC Rezound] knights665:
I'm a little afraid to sccrew up my phone it seems sketchy
[HTC Rezound] NAU420:
Cool thanks, just wish I could get this done. 1/2 the time it's the program starting up with errors and the other 1/2 is just the time of the wire trick. I've rebooted the phone so many times that the usb charge couldn't keep up with the battery charging. So now I'm waiting for the phone to fully charge before I start again. I have had the program run and the phone reboot like 5 times, but no beer for me. All this for S-Off!!!!! the things I do to my phone!!!! LOL
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
try again.. it means u didnt quite get the wire trick right
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
oddly enough, it kinda worked for me. I did the trick, and it worked, the phone rebooted to Amon Ra Recovery and just sat there while the Control Bear screen said Waiting Device... Nothing moved for quite some time. So I rebooted...then it wouldn't boot and the screen was black. adb devices said I was in recovery... I decided to go to HBoot and it said S-OFF... I reflashed the boot.img file for my ROM and turned off the phone. Put back my 16G flash card and it booted to my ROM. I tried to run Control Bear again since it didn't seem to finish, but the note came up that I was already S-OFF. So since HBoot says S-OFF and Control Bear confirms it, I suppose I'm done. Weird that the script never finished. I am still on Hboot v2.21 from the latest ICS Leak. Never got an option to install the JuopunutBear Hboot...

Does this sound right/normal?
[HTC Rezound] TheRedmonian:
For those of you having problems getting your Micro SD cards to work. Try this...

1,) Reboot to Amon Ra Recovery(haven't tried in other recovery)

2.) Select the Partition your SD card option

2.) Select Partition sd card

3.) Once that completes, select Repair SD:ext

3.) Once successful, Reboot

4.) SD errors should be gone. Downloading something should bring back your download folder on sdcard2

Hope this helps someone. Worked for me.
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
I'd love to but the phone doesn't boot anymore, it gets stuck at the "JuopunuBear" update screen
[HTC Rezound] billhilt:
Mine failed 4 times but I didn't reboot I just ran it again till it stuck
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
Either re-unlock, or flash the hboot provided with the s-off files.
[HTC Rezound] billhilt:
Keep trying right from that screen
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
That's what I should have done. I'll try to re-install a ROM and see if I can get the phone to boot up.
[HTC Rezound] TheRedmonian:
Do a battery pull to turn the phone off, reboot to bootloader, install recovery, restore nandroid, keep trying. I ended up going through all of that 6 times. If you don't have an Nandroid or can't get to it, you will need to install a rom on a separate SD card and install it. Once installed, switch back to the blank one so you don't mess up both of the SD cards. Once you are successful, you can restore your blank SD with the method I posted above.
[HTC Rezound] nnnnr14:
I need help fixing the external storage what exactly do i type and does the phones have to be in fastboot?
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
Cool, I'm trying that right now. Hopefully I can get the timing right next time. I'm watching the video over and over while it's flashing to practice timing.
[HTC Rezound] emarietta:
i tried one time and it failed. so i installed recovery, got root, made sure debugging is on reformatted my sd and now i try to run the program all it says is no beer for bear
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Since the script never finished for me, but I was able to get S-OFF, I just manually installed the JuopunutBear HBoot manually. I now have S-OFF with 2.21 HBOOT that says JuopunutBear at the top. I'm done. All is well. It will be nice not to have to relock to install RUUs anymore.
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
Same here, and when I run "adb devices", it does see my phone.

[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
It took me about 5-6 times to get the timing right...it's a bit of a "bear" to get right...:D
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
I probably tried close to that many times last night.. quite and redid it this a.m. I just found that just leave phone the way it is after a failure and rerun the installer.. it will pick up where it left off and I am sure you will eventually get it as well.
[HTC Rezound] torxx:
Any chance to see this tool supporting the One X?

[HTC Rezound] nnnnr14:
I need help with the external storage!
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
True...when it fails (if you got the timing wrong), just re-run the utility and it picks up where it left off. No need to reboot to the ROM, etc.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
whoa looks like we got a badass over here

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

how do you install the hboot manually?
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Rename the HBOOT zip included with the JuopunutBear download (jb_hboot.zip) to PH98IMG.zip, place it on the root of your SD card and boot to hboot...it will find the zip and ask if you wish to install it. Choose Yes by pressing Volume Up and it will install. Done.
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
what happens when you have success. So far when I fail my phone either reboots 5 times never completely booting until the last attempt, or it just reboots into android the first time. it is weird. the program doesn't give me a fail error. it after a bunch of successes it just says "quit"
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
Rename the hboot zip that came with the s-off tool to ph98img, place on the root of your sd card, reboot into bootloader, press up to accept update, then restart phone.

EDIT: NINJA'D
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
ok, so I got A LOT further today (1st try lol). Right now it is sitting on Android recovery and Control bear just says that it is waiting for device. The previous thing that it said was that it was rebooting bootloader.

Do I need to just leave it alone or go to the developer menu in the recovery and tell it to reboot to bootloader?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Either leave it alone, or just restart the program. It will pick up where it left off . Did you mean that it was successful, but doesn't reboot ?
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
Make sure you have root still (open an app that requires root and make sure your ROM is rooted). I noticed that I lost root after restoring.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
it did that to me i just pulled my battery and and booted normally into my rom
[HTC Rezound] Hotweelz66:
I tried many times last night and kept getting the "need to be rooted" message. I know that I'm rooted. Never loaded any Rom though just kept it stock. Could that be the problem?
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
Thanks a ton man. I ended up having to manually reboot to bootloader. S-off!!!! :D

My hboot says 2.21, is that what it should say at this point?

Thanks a lot again to everyone that made this possible. MAJOR props to ya'll!!
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
Agreed; I'd like to know what is happening to the phone during the wire trick, and what can go wrong. Knowing my luck i'll screw something up if I don't delve too deep into it.
