[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:

Patience is a virtue.

At least now while we are being patient, we know s-off is coming.

Before today we could only hope it was coming.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] superdave:
andybones,

Is the exploit HBOOT 1.02 specific or were you on 1.15?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
you need to be on the new update 2.xx as the exploit.. I think u found is in it
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] superdave:
Cool, thanks. I noticed your HBOOT is now 1.02, the other versions matched the new update so I was thinking that was the case. I guess downgrading the HBOOT is part of the exploit.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] gfresh4:
Thanks!!! :thumbup:

Very fine job you guys did.

Will the people that updated firmware last night or should I say this morning be able to S-OFF?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
So I'm wondering if someone can help me learn something.

In the past I've successfully rooted, unlocked, flashed ROMs and MODS etc all that stuff on my Nexus 7 and Incredible 2. But I'm usually just following directions or just using a toolkit, so I don't really learn anything and I'm curious now.

S-OFF is not the same as root correct?

I understand S-OFF is considered having the most control and access over your phone or w/e, but I wonder when you get S-OFF (like we are going to do now), how does that grant you root access on your phone?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
you flash a recovery, then you flash SU, SU gives you root.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
Google is your friend. This website provides a pretty in-depth look at what S-OFF is. Ignore the stuff about unlocking via unrevoked.

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...on-htc-android-phones-with-unrevoked-forever/
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
Pretty simple.

I guess I'm pretty stupid lol
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] xdadevelopers-user:
S-OFF disables the security features that prevent you from making changes to the protected parts of the phone.

With s-off you can flash (or fastboot boot) unsigned images like custom recovery.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
even for those of with dev unlock already, this is soooo welcome :laugh:

flashing radios and firmware updates through hboot, ability to revert with older RUU's, splash screens, and being able to flash kernels w/ a rom in recovery (and backing up the kernel in recovery with nandroids)

bring it on!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
Just thought I'd let you guys in on some more good news.

we originally used the stock donated phone which was completely stock, and got temp-root and then S-OFF.

Today, I put my personal phone up on the line to be the first to test a phone with already having htc-dev unlock = success! :)

the tool will take some time, but the rezound was part of like a 7 group mass S-OFF exploit and before ANY of the tools were released they made sure all phone were ready.

we only have to wait for ours = more good news :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
Any estimation lol
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I suppose that's both good and bad: great for us, but unfortunate that it isn't exploitable on other devices.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] j13smiley:
great news - thanks to ALL involved!

i've been refreshing the older thread in my browser instead of checking the forum last night... wondering why no one was posting in it lately ;) i see now everyone moved to newer threads! ;)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
Testing is still in progress.

something like this can't be rushed.

would you want a half-assed S-OFF exploit that may brick your phone or wait a little bit and assure safety?

on a side-note added some more pics of progress to OP
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
You are absolutely RIGHT
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] squeezyb:
right on!!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Method320:
So wait, does this mean that those of us who got the OTA update won't have S-OFF??
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Once S-Off arrives, we can add this phone to the RegawMOD Bootloader Customizer. Just a matter of compiling a plugin: instructions.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] squeezyb:
i am just speculating, but if you can get temp root (you can with the new OTA) the exploit would probably work.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] n2theblu:
This would make for a fun project over the weekend! Thanks to those who are making this possible (NOT Verizon...dicktards.)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
haven't you guys been paying attention or what? this exploit is for the new update.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
I don't think some people are making the effort to read and comprehend what they're reading currently, they're just so excited about getting S-OFF soon. I can't really blame them. Should I make a FAQ list for S-OFF?

Post 34

S-OFF was achieved on the new update. The donated developer phone was upgraded to the new software, then achieved S-OFF through the temp root method available on the new software.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
It may be easier to wait for the tool to be released.

but great idea, def could help many.

for those that didn't get root in the begginning, at least you guys will be able to get root/S-OFF and go back to stock as though it was never rooted. We on the other hand, are stuck with htc/verizon knowing we rooted. So I guess that is another thing to be happy about once S-OFF tool comes.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] squeezyb:
This is too funny hahaha
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
That really is funny.

Verizon already knew that, and they know this phone is already amazing, and at such a low price point would be serious competition for the popular high-end phones, that's why they locked us down. It's really disappointing. I realize that they're losing money on the subsidization, but if you sell enough of these phones, enough people will buy larger data plans and buy their apps and you bring in more business. Sure, it takes a while to bring out a profit, but it does bring one. Every company is about getting profits right now, screw the consumer, and it's despicable.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dajogejr:
Not everyone wants a 4.3 or 4.8 inch screen or an iPhone.

I prefer the 4" on this phone compared to my previous Tbolt and most recently Sensation 4G 4.3".

This phone is a workhorse and is solid, I just want to remove Verizon bloat and have reliable backups in case I bork.

Considering how good this device is out of box, I can't wait to get it cleaned up a little...

Thanks to all for the hard work and efforts!

The last two nights in a row I've had a dream where our phone received another update we couldn't defer and our chances at S-OFF were taken away. It made me sad.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
man, same here. only in my dream we get s-off, and i wake up to s-on.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] superdave:
I don't think we have to worry about that. We could just go into temp root and delete the downloaded update. We could probably even remove system permissions from the folder so it could not even be downloaded.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
Yeah. It was just a dream. I don't keep data turned on anyway, so it can't download without me knowing.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] gfresh4:

If this is true, can we get to /system/etc/security and rename otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak in temp root and have it stick? This would hopefully prevent any further updates...

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
Verizon blows with updates, I don't foresee another one coming so quickly after we just got such a huge update from Sense 4.0 to Sense 4.1. Also this is the reason the unlimited.io team like to keep it on the hush hush until released and won't reveal the exploit until Verizon blocks it. Not too mention the new update actually is the reason we even got S-OFF. SO, IMO, I think we are ok :)

this is just my opinion though.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
Quick question, I think it was asked before but not answered in another thread and I can't find it now to ask in that one. For those that have s off from factory, will installing the new ruu, which writes a new h boot remove the s off from factory? I want to say that it doesn't but since Andy commented in this thread that he was able to reverse his s off I wasn't sure if there would be problems getting s off back in case it got changed.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
When I updated the HBOOT on my original Droid Incredible, which I did multiple times, I never lost S-OFF. I believe you have to run certain ADB commands, which Andybones listed somewhere, but wouldn't be overwritten by an HBOOT update. I don't know if that's the case with this phone, but it's quite the possibility. I never looked into getting back S-ON on my old phone, so I don't really know. Only time or Andy can tell you.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
once you're S-OFF, you're S-OFF

only way to get back is using the fastboot command -

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
There you go.

Andy, now my dreams are getting worse! Zombies are attacking and our phone never gets S-OFF because everyone's busy fighting zombies and trying to stay alive. Once again, just a dream, and I know that's not going to happen. My subconscious is just getting more impatient. :( lol.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dbrits:
Your posts deserves thanking just for The Walking Dead mention because it made me laugh. :)

I'm getting impatient for s-off too, but it will be worth the wait.

Also, would it be possible to add the instructions on how to revert to s-on in the original post, or would that be best served by its own thread? There will undoubtedly be those of us who will need to return the phone to stock for one reason or another...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
Andy said somewhere that someone from Team Unlimited.IO will be the one to make the S-OFF post here, and more than likely they'll say how to revert. If not, I'll add it to my S-OFF FAQs page in the General subforum. It's not too hard to remember, just connect to the computer with USB debugging enabled, reboot to bootloader, select Fastboot, type 'fastboot oem writesecureflag 3', reboot again. When he first posted it in whatever thread it was, he included the adb commands to reboot to bootloader and to reboot after.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
they usually don't say how to revert, but I can always make a new thread, or give u guys a link to a thread thats already made, such as this one, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1612937

not quite sure what you mean by "will that also work" because I honestly have no clue what "that" is referring too, but since this is my S-OFF thread, I'm going to assume you mean will this S-OFF method work for the Inc2 as well.

well,

1) the s-off tool isn't even released yet..

2) it will prob only be available for the Incredible 4G

3) not too mention the Inc2 has been rooted with S-OFF for a longgg time now, please go to the inc2 threads to find out how, it's a very easy software method for root/S-OFF.

4) when looking for Inc2 stuff, it's easy too look in the inc2 threads.. ;)

hope this helps.:)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] rmlineback:
I meant to quote this post, sorry. I was wondering if this command would revert the inc 2 to s-on.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
Yes, provided you've reset your phone and entered the Fastboot area of the bootloader. Don't do this without running an RUU first, that way you're sure to have a stock bootloader so it doesn't brick your phone.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
IceDragon is 100% what I would say. Def make sure to run a stock Inc2 RUU.

But for some reason for the past hour my datas been completely down. Anyone else having this problem...hopefully verizon isnt stealthly pushing that patch...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Method320:
Well, the patch would download over 4g to begin with. Also, no 4g or 3g issues here, east coast, northern VT. Try restarting the phone and/or enabling airplane mode and then disabling?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] demid30:
yea I live in NJ. Verizon can control that when doing updates, for instance you can turn off your mobile network and the update will still download. I tried restarting and turning aiplane mode on and off but nothing worked. But I guess its just my area, its just very weird because its showing full signal. Maybe they are doing work or something over here.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Method320:
I dont know for sure but I'm more than certain the way that works is they turn ON mobile data, and then you'll get the 4G or 3G symbol next to the clock, once the download is finished, it'll turn off again. Since you didn't have any icon at all, odds are it was nothing more than a network error.
