Since when did this not become a discussion? I don't seen any development and its still in general....:confused:
[HTC One S] avataranjie:
It's not doing **** to get s-off. HTC needs to understand what the devs want.
[HTC One S] mteezey:
HTC knows we want s-off trust me. The only way this turns into a development thread and not a discussion is if development starts to happen. HTC does not care what we post here as a matter of fact it helps them since they always patch the exploits that the developers do find by pushing new updated firmware to lock it down. I'm not sure what your post even means.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Well it started off as a discussion/thinktank for s-off, bit too much crap is being posted, so a cleanup of the last posts would be good.

[HTC One S] ExDr:
Your last posts are only crap. GTFO yourself, dude.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Unlike you, I have actually tried to gain S-OFF unlike you. So unless you are planning to contribute anything to this development thread, or ANY development thread, I recommend leaving.

You look real good, posting like that. Keep trying.

Edit: Seems like the whole Russian forum has decided to come at me.
[HTC One S] Dimson75:
No one wants to run over you. We just have found the guy with the phone s-off.

If you're interested, I can ask the guy to pull the phone boot.image. and if you do, you can open the image
[HTC One S] mteezey:
I've been following this since the very beginning and out of all 47 pages there's only a handful of useful posts. I may be using the word useful freely since some users that font know about s-off may find some more useful ones than say myself. If we want to see more "real development" maybe we should start a new thread for it. Cause Imo deleting this entire thread is not gonna affect s-off and I'm sure if we start a new one the same pointless questions will get asked all over again. ie; how do I benefit from s-off? Usaff there are a few of us along with u that have tried along with a buddy who has s-off. But the way it stands now from what I know I don't see if nows the right time or that we have enough to start a new thread. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
I don't think this thread is any useful either anymore. The only useful thread is the S-OFF thread over at the One XL forums, and their root thread. The Verizon GS3 bootloader unlock thread however was a dev thread. They got interested users, they got devs and they got the job done.

I don't think it will make any difference if this thread is deleted. In fact, I think it should be either locked or deleted. If a dev buys this phone and is willing to get S-OFF, then so be it. He can start a new thread.

@guy above mteezey

Pulling the boot.img won't help at all. All that is required is how he got S-OFF, which is probably through a JTAG/RIFF box. We need a software solution. Not hardware.
[HTC One S] mteezey:
Usaff is correct pulling the boot image won't help. Even him pulling the partitions will not help since we still have no way to disable write protection. The only useful thing that has come from that s-off phone was someone being able to get rid of the red text overlay. As far as the phones out there with s-off I don't know of anyone using jtag to do it they were just lucky and received the phone from the factory that way.

That One S is no different than the other ones that were shipped with S-Off. No reason to get excited.

[HTC One S] shootind5nukes:
I figured out the best way to get by the s-off. I said F*$# HTC, I own a GS3 and have never been happier. I have always owned HTC but after this I'm done. They fianilly won. If you all buy another HTC phone your crazy. You bought it but HTC can tell you what to do with it, it's not really yours is it. Go Samsung! The GS3 is better anyhow. Unless HTC said they would start making true S-off obtainable I'll never go back. Good luck everyone.

I still don't think I can deal with having a Samsung phone. My mom has an HTC One X she got just after it came out, it's her first smart phone ever and she is not really great with that kind of thing but she has no complaints about it. I owned the One S for about a month and because I was broke and going to school I no longer have it and I'm using an almost 3 year old Nexus One. Before the One S I had an HTC Desire for a while.

The reason I don't like Samsung is my sister has the I9000 and since she first got it 2 years ago its been full of bugs. It's now on GB and even worse than before. I don't want to try rooting it for her cause she's not good with tech and I don't want to risk causing new issues, but it freezes all the time on her and she hates it and probably won't own an Android phone again because of it.

My new girl I'm dating has the GS3 and hers has been buggy as hell as well.

My One S was not buggy, my friend has a 2 year old HTC Desire on the 2.2 it came with and it's been rock solid as far as hardware and software goes. My Desire was great as was my ex gf's. It just seems to me like Samsung can't make decent software. Thre reviews on the GS3 look good, but the first hand experience I'm seeing scares me into thinking they are the same as they used to be.

[HTC One S] mteezey:
He is just stating that one of the lead aokp devs won an HTC one S at big android BBQ. The phone has s-off. This is not the only phone that happened to be shipped with s-off. There's many others but having someone else with a phone with s off doesn't do us any good. We could pull all the partitions off those phones that still doesnt give us a way to disable write protection to use them. All we can pray for is someone to find an exploit on one of the similar phones to ours(or ours) that we can use.
[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
One thing comes to mind, it seems HTC is encouraging interest in this phone, maybe a hint for s-off and encouraging development. Why else give this phone to AOKP? Wishful thinking? Lol

[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
I don't know. It's not impossible. Or just the top cover to get to the GPIs.

More likely they have some HTC made device (or clone of it) that connects via USB and solves a cryptographic challenge using HTC private keys to convince hboot to leave security off. They can then flash a modified hboot that always leaves security off.

Again, I don't really know this. Just my reasoning/speculation.

What do you think if we get s-off can we clear the s58 data with thr same exploit? I mean clear sim lock flags, sim unlock our phone?
[HTC One S] mteezey:
We should be able to do whatever we want. I think what most people want is to re partition the phone to have more room for storage and less for apps since most of us won't use 2gigs of data apps. As for the sim unlocking part I would say it will defiantly open up possibilities. I just don't know enough about unlocking gsm phones to give u definite answer. I just made switch to t mobile I used to be all about flashing and unlocking CDMA devices though :p

[HTC One S] nicolayer:
Hi.

May be it will get you any more energy with these info:

now possible JTAG access for both One S - Z520e(S4)/PJ40100 and Z560e(S3)/PJ40200. That means you can get partition, read/write dump in bin format. As i was waiting so long time for S-Off, i find out pinpads for S4 and contact with RIFF team for DLL release, also they had DLL release for S3 before.

So, no more bricked device, you can make any thing, you are freedom for unbrick and research.
[HTC One S] Rampage:
Please explain it so that I can understand you :D
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Unfortunately we're looking for software S-OFF, hardware will be too difficult. However, if you can get the MSM8960.hex and msimg.mbn files for the Snapdragon S4 Plus 8960 SoC, we could make a software exploit out of it. If you can get those files from a RIFF box software or maybe the developer of it, we'd be grateful :)
[HTC One S] el7145:
Some good news for everyone:

A gentleman by the name of "Sality" here on Xda apparently has come up with a method to S-off his HTC Droid DNA.

If it is true, maybe we can get s-off on our HOS, as the Droid DNA only has built in memory and an QualComm S4 (quad core) CPU, both similar to our HOS.

we are awaiting "Sality" to provide more tangible proof of his s-off procedure which he states he will provide in the form of a video later this month.

All still speculation until further proof is provided :)

You don't need to flash boot.img either, you can flash a lower radio, HBOOT version etc.

Did it come that way or did you do something to make it get s--off? Why isn't this thread more focused on what the state of the s-off is? All I want is a specific post about what is the deal, if there is anyone that has achieved it on purpose, all of that.
[HTC One S] mteezey:
There isn't even anyone directly working on this device. At least not publicly. No one has achieved it for this phone the only ones that have it are the lucky ones who got it shipped that way. Your best bet would be to follow the other one series phones that have qualcomm s4.

Or just ditch HTC and go with Samsung..their boot loaders come unlocked by default. :p

Just kidding, I know how much you guys love the one s. I really enjoyed mine too, for the time that I had it.

So basically I have this file stored on my pc. It's a Diag file for the HTC One S, which will change the CID as xmoo said.

Things you should know about Diag files:

- Diag files need to perform a full wipe in order to work properly! (AFAIK)

- Diag files only do work on Phones that are "LOCKED" or "RELOCKED"

- A Diag file has to be flashed with a Goldcard in combi with an external powered OTG-Cable

- Goldcards should work on Qualcomm devices, so you shouldn't have the problem of a Secure MicroSd Javacard

Be careful with it!! Befor someone does flash it, please check the file to ensure it's really what I'm telling you what it is. I don't know how to do this. I only have this file found on my PC.

It could also be a "non-clean" file. Such files always appeared on the One X section. Again, be careful with it as it can completely wipe your data!!!
[HTC One S] usaff22:
I'll try this. Thanks. I'll post the results in this same post.

Edit: Tried placing the DIAG zip on the root of the internal storage, like the Sensation, Wildfire etc. Doesn't check for zips. What if I place the .nb0 file on the root of the SD? Don't have a USB Y Cable unfortunately.

Sent from my HTC One S+
[HTC One S] nitrous²:
It shouldn't work if you just place the files into the internal storage or sd. Without the Y-Cable there's no real chance to flash the diag. But give me some time. I have the OTG-Y Cable, I just have to call a friend who has the One S and try it out. Since there's nothing really to do over on One X Section, I have more free time :D :D. By tomorrow hopefully I can post the result.
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
My gut feeling tells me I have to advice against that.

Because if it somehow prevents you from booting (crashes or hangs your bootloader), there is no way to remove it again. Unlike a removable sdcard.

(I don't know this for a fact, it's just my gut feeling, but this is the reason that I would not try that on my device' internal storage.)
[HTC One S] usaff22:
You're entirely correct. I should have tried it first lol.

But it doesn't do anything, unlike the Sensation would with an SD card, it does not scan the internal storage for PJ40IMG or PJ40DIAG .zip files. I found that quite interesting, as it means service centers use a different 3rd party device like a USB Y Cable connected to a microSIM card through an adapter. Using this for all the devices in the service center could be very costly.

Edit: Would it be possible to try and make a goldcard out of the internal storage? I really highly doubt it will work, as it will mess up the system partition. But I still wonder if it might work.
