How can anybody use it if you don't release it? I'm sure some of the people with 1.06 hboot would love to give it a try.
[HTC One S] eminembdg:
Why make it if we have TWRP? Lol

I know I know, choices and to each his own. But I love TWRP and it's touch. Also koush made Rom manager TWRP compatible. Which is awesome
[HTC One S] hasoon2000:
Everyone likes choices. My favorite recovery is 4EXT but its not available for the One S. Some devices are better with TWRP and others are better with CWM, in my opinion of course.

Ya its all about choices and why bring touch up when both can do that?
[HTC One S] blackwing182:
it just have one problem, since cm10.1 made some changes to where the recovery files are located, it mounts sdcard what ever it whants -_- and thats pised me off a lot, i was trying to fix it these days but o lord i want s-off first lol

Chalk up another S-OFF! Unbelievable and extremely easy! I have to say I was quite depressed when I first got this phone, I had high hopes only to be let down when I read all about the high hboots and s-on and all that, almost tried to sell my phone. We have came a long way in the last few months this is very exciting and I am very proud to own my HTC One S! Now it would be interesting to hear about any future benefits or plans and capabilities for having S-Off...Please share any knowledge!

[HTC One S] Reviewers:
Yep.

Before patching the HBoot to s-off.

We just simply changed the name UNLOCKED yo say REVIEWERS and it still bricked.

I'm going to pick up my friends S-OFF HBoot and give it to 2 S-OFF developers to look at and compare.

booting into hboot/fastboot

I still haven't figured out the button combo for hboot/fastboot. Just want to check if i have s-off before i get a replacement.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
power off the phone (Uncheck fastboot in settings / power first)

then hold volume down and power button.

Or use adb reboot bootloader
[HTC One S] raikesy:
Correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I was aware there is absolutely no value in comparing the S-ON & S-OFF hboots?
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
I'm not sure but I'm sure it'll help the progress
[HTC One S] doktortaru:
You are correct.

Unfortunately some people in the thread like to act like they know what they're talking about when they really have no clue and don't do any of the actual development themselves... But that's getting off topic and I don't want to be accused of flaming so I'm not mentioning any names and that all I'm going to say on the topic.
[HTC One S] Adam5400:
I actually successfully flashed the 0.90.0000 hboot, but as expected it's just a standard One S hboot, albeit with a different version number. It is kind of interesting that there's no write protection for hboot, I guess HTC figured that's counteracted with signature checking...
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Hboots are signed.. Thats why it worked,

Try to make a hboot, Modify it and then flash it..

It will fail dramatically
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
True.

Azzle knows.
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
If there's no value in comparing them I guess it'll be harder. I don't know about S-OFF so I really don't know the best thing I can do is contact other S-OFF developers.

[HTC One S] Super_Dork_42:
So, I can't remember where I read it but there was a person that said that the same chip on the One X that gives it the NFC capabilities is on the One S but is not utilized by the kernel. He or she said that a custom kernel could be made to take advantage of the full NFC capabilities of the chip and that once we got s-off it could be used. Is this true, and if it is, what would it take to make a kernel that would do that.

[HTC One S] bilal_liberty:
To all those who wants s3 s-off:

Try to find a way to remove htc write protection which prevents us to change CID then only we can do something about s-off.
[HTC One S] :
I did, tried even more since there are same lines in p4 and p5 but anything I do, after reset is lost because there is write protection. I'm at HBOOT 3.01 but it was the same situation on HBOOT 2.11 too. It would be great if I can downgrade bootloader but it isn't possible at the moment and I don't know how to make misc.img or misc_version file.

There is no backup cid read at fastboot oem boot so it isn't related with that. Unlike S4 it seems that this device is locked from beginning.

Any developers willing to take on this issue with One S S3?

[HTC One S] blackwing182:
yo can do it with any rom, any thing you want, rom base is not a problem, the problem can be if your bootloader is to high or if you dont know how to uze adb and fastboot comands
[HTC One S] Darknites:
You kidding right you telling me I can't use adb and fastboot. The rom I was on was stock because I just used an RUU and unlocked and rooted and it would not work until I flash Viper2 and then it worked first try.

We've got successfull reports for any hboot (from 1.06 to last 2.15).... but still no successfull report from ICS...

S-off worked for me running pac-man. Pretty sure it doesn't matter what ROM your on. Maybe certain hboots affect but I have heard of most hboots confirming successful s-off.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Its not the Hboot but the rom or as PeQuEsan point out ICS roms don't work and no idea why but guess it don't really matter since most people are on some kind of JB rom or if not its easily flashed.

I understood we still need an engineering hboot to flash radios through fastboot.
[HTC One S] Tecardo:
AW: [Discussion]HTC One S [S-OFF]

Script is ready. Link soon. With wifi fix
[HTC One S] sda2:
Just create a file called "android-info.txt" and insert this:

modelid: PJ4010000
cidnum: HTC__102
mainver: 3.16.401.8
hbootpreupdate:3
DelCache:1

Of course you have to adjust your CID ;)

Then put this file together with your radio.img in a .ZIP archive and put it in your fastboot directory.

!! -> MAKE SURE YOU DONT HAVE SUPERCID <- !!

> fastboot oem writecid HTC__102
> fastboot oem rebootRUU
> fastboot flash zip RUUradio.zip
> fastboot oem boot
> fastboot oem writecid 11111111

This also works with splash1 images.

Another possibility is to dd the radio.img directly into your mmcblk0p17:

> adb shell
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/radio.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
[HTC One S] codf4ther:
Interesting. Why do you set the CID to HTC___102 in the android-info.txt? I wonder if you set it to 11111111 would you need to be flipping the CID at all. By doing this RUU method do you get a TAMPERED flag in the bootloader? I've been updating a dropping the radio image into a zip with a update-script from an old Tecardo updater. It basically looks like this:

ui_print("Writing Radio Image");
package_extract_file("radio.img", "/tmp/radio.img");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "dd", "if=/tmp/radio.img", "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17");
delete("/tmp/radio.img");

[HTC One S] codf4ther:
Did you try "fastboot oem lock"?
[HTC One S] mkiderek:
Yes. It does not work.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Have you tried the new files or Viper2 rom?
[HTC One S] sda2:
AW: [Discussion]HTC One S [S-OFF]

I did it just as a precaution because I took the txt from the JB OTA. Maybe it still works with superCID but this way it's less risky and once you are on SOFF its not complicated at all to change it via fastboot command.

Edit: It does not remove tampered!
[HTC One S] scorpionatthepc:

He is asking to flash a lower hboot... For example hboot 1.14 to hboot 1.06 which from my understanding I think you could only do that through RUU...
[HTC One S] scotty1223:
To flash an hboot,you just need to find an ruu that has it,pack it up and flash it.

There is no real reason to run the older hboots with s off,however.
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
Is it safe to flash just the hboot image?

Or does it depend on sbl1/2/3, tz.img, ... other things?
[HTC One S] scotty1223:
Sometimes it is dependent on other things. Sometimes changing only hboot or only radios may not have obvious affects,but may make things less efficient.

IMO,one should not haphazardly change parts of firmware,as newer phones become more complex. The days of mtd devices that only have 6 images in an ruu are over.

If I upgrade any part of firmware,I upgrade it all or I don't bother.
[HTC One S] :
Just flash the whole ruu ! It is safe and it will make it more stable than only flashing hboot ! Remove the system.img from rom.zip if you want it to be fast !

[HTC One S] Behold_this:
I have the 0.85.0000 hboot in zip on my pc and it can be flashed (verified by members of the ViperOneS beta team, but it is not the engineering HBOOT and does not open up extra Fastboot commands, so not worth posting.
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
Cool, so it's safe, in the sense that it doesnt brick.

I just tried flashing a bunch of different edited hboots on my device and didn't kill it. *phew*
[HTC One S] Behold_this:
Safe, yes, but completely pointless. If you have hboot 1.09 or lower (like I do), there will be nothing of any use to us until an engineering HBOOT leaks, or someone smarter than me hacks extended fastboot commands into one we already have.
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
I modified a couple of different hboots to get rid of the red warning message over the boot splash and packaged them up to flash in recovery. I wanted to make sure it is not dangerous to flash a different hboot without flashing sbl's or such.

So when you reported that others had flashed different hboots without bricking, I went ahead and tested all of them and all went fine.
[HTC One S] Behold_this:
Cool. A little Hboot customization can be fun but it's also a tad dangerous so just be careful and don't flash hboots from people you don't trust to have done it right. Not an issue in your case though, since you edited your own.
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
What's the engineering hboot? And is there a flashable bootloader for 1.09 or lower?
[HTC One S] dharvey4651:
I have a flashable 1.09 hboot image file that has the red disclaimer/watermark removed and also instead of saying *** TAMPERED *** it says *** HTC ONE ***. <2 spaces between the 2 words

Does that sound like something you want?
[HTC One S] scotty1223:
what ruu is 1.09 in?

an engineering hboot simply allows more fastboot commands. 99% of wich any of us will ever use. most users are really better off NOT messing with an old eng hboot. i bricked my one x after flashing an extremely old eng hboot. you never know what kind of checks the bootloader will do.

run the newest one that matched your firmware,IMO. if you want to fastboot flash or fastboot boot recoveries or boot images,keep it unlocked. you can lock it any time by flashing a zip file in recovery. :)
