[HTC Droid DNA] jdellingson7:
Can someone please explain to me what the Hell S-Off is and is not? I have not had a HTC device until this and all other phones have been straight forward unlock boot loader, root, rom. Will I still have to use exploit from J case as well as S-off when it comes? Or is S-off just a more complete unlocking of the the Boot loader? I love this phone but have already had a friend brick his with the exploit which really discourages me from unlocking my device.
[HTC Droid DNA] cj2566:
S-off gives us the ability to write to system. I can't say about later on and what methods will be available. The process is actually quite simple, provided you follow directions exactly. The only thing I'd recommend is having the screen never sleep. I had a near brick experience after the second half.
[HTC Droid DNA] MustafaHadaKing:
firstly S-OFF has nothing to do with your phone being rooted

When your device is shipped, your bootloader will show the flag S-ON. This stands for Security-On

When your device is set to S-OFF, the security is turned off. This allows you to modify any partition on the device, and changes will not be reset upon a reboot.. S-OFF gives the user great power over the device, but also comes with much responsibility to be careful
[HTC Droid DNA] jdellingson7:
So what your saying is if I make changes to the system like changing build prop etc when I reboot it will be reset? Does that mean if I flash a rom and reboot it will reset back to stock htc system? And in essence S-OFF is a unlocked boot loader? Please elaborate for me a bit. Thank you for the help with this, I want to learn the most I can before I start messing around.
[HTC Droid DNA] trickster2369:
If you make changes to /system through, say, Root Explorer, they will reset after a re-boot. If you make changes through adb, or via a zip file in recovery, they should stick.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Changes to the system only won't stick if they are made while the phone is booted into android. Changes made in recovery will stick.
[HTC Droid DNA] sammy518:
I really want s-off:confused:
[HTC Droid DNA] papi92:
Hahah we all do but I don't want a brick let him get it out when he's ready. Also its smart to see if the exploit works on two devices. You don't want HTC patching it
[HTC Droid DNA] MustafaHadaKing:
Basically s off allows devs to do more stuff that is previously not possible, so in a way it is just unlocking the phone even further. It is not needed, for the regular Rom flasher but it helps devs create more things
[HTC Droid DNA] invasion2:
Do you think it will be One S compatible?

[HTC Droid DNA] andybones:
I have a good feeling about this, and can't wait to for the next month!
[HTC Droid DNA] TechSavvy2:
To add.....s-on security enables by enforcing signature checks throughout to prevent writing to the NAND portion of the device along with access to /system, which is where you really really need access for root etc. Except exploits are found for root access temporarily. When s-off, security skips these signature checks. Hence why you can flash whatever the hell you want.

The unlock from jcase and htcdev only gives you access to recovery and ROM flashing. Does NOT surpass those security checks I spoke of. You need s-off still.

This is why most ALL ROMs you will see available before s-off are basically gonna be fully stock sense ROMs still (in a nutshell) because they are designed to still pass the signature checks. This is why you don't see ports or AOSP ROMs yet (and ril).

Basically, right now, you are partial unlocked, and you're wanting full unlock :p S-Off is your answer.
[HTC Droid DNA] BBEgo:
Just relax and be patient.

It took a long time to S-off the Rezound, but we got it.

Just chill and enjoy this awesome phone. The devs know what they're doing, and they won't release until they know it won't brick us.
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
S off=complete access to all partitions. Ability to change hboot,splash image,radios,and all firmware. Let's you change cid(without trickery),does not prevent you from installing older factory software/firmware.

As mentioned,security off and not doing any checks. You can do literally watever you want. Including brick your device ;)

Htcdev unlock= access to boot,system,and recovery only. The phone is still doing plenty of security checks. No changes to.any other partitions and.bootloader must be relocked to run factory signed ruus. It will not allow downgrade of firmware. This means do not flash leaks.that you don't want to be stuck on. ;)

Htcdev does not allow boot image to be directly flashed from a permanently installed recovery. A seperate boot image flash is required. Installing PxxxIMG files is also a PITA,since with s on the info on the android info text document is important.

Htcdev is better than nothing. But still a PITA to deal with.

The current Inability to write to system from the booted OS is thot to be a quirk,and not a new restraint on htcdev unlock. Yes,being s off would fix it,but so may an ota containing new firmware.

This issue is not present on other s on,unlocked devices.

S off advantage: no security checks. Do whatever you want.

S on advantage: hboot and radios are protected. A lil safer for noobs that don't understand what they are doing ;)

Hope that helps :)

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

What? Roms flashed in recovery are not subject to any security checks. We have the ability to change kernels,aosp has nothing to do with s off.

You seen senses roms at first because they are easy. Everything is there and works,devs just need to theme and add tweeks.

Changes to ril and aosp can happen any time.

Aosp development is slow on any LTE Verizon device with a heavy skin/ui because of the dual radio configuration. The rom is basically written from scratch,and the ril is very difficult to figure out.

I would suggest asking in a rom thread where this is implemented and ask in what apk / file it is contained

As soon as you find that out you could try merging it with the corresponding file on TW and see if you can get it to work...would probably require some smali edits at the very least

Thats the only way i see to do it anyway, seems more like a framework thing than an unlock the setting thing

[Android] GermainZ:
Hey guys,

I compiled a kernel from the official sources and combined it with the ramdisk pulled from the stock kernel from my phone.

After clearing the dalvik cache and cache partition, I rebooted in download mode and flashed the kernel using ODIN.

The problem is that my device now gets stuck at the boot screen, and using adb to try and check the logcat isn't working (keeps waiting for the device to connect). USB debugging is on and it works again once I flash the stock kernel.

So my question is, how can I know what's wrong without logcats?

I'm certain everything I've done is correct to compile it (it's worth noting, however, that the sources' read me are the same for the Galaxy Y, which I thought is normal since my device is a galaxy Y in an ace's body).

Also, the flashlight flashes briefly before the boot screen appears, which I thought is weird.

Thanks a lot.

EDIT: Issue solved. I was using the wrong config file (the instructions bundled with the kernel were wrong).
[Android] thicklizard:
You should try to get a ksmg not a logcat
[Android] GermainZ:
I don't think getting a dmesg would be possible since adb isn't initializing properly, considering the device is never detected (and none of the adb commands work).
[Android] namagakumon:
kmsg and dmesg are different beasts. Chances are your kernel panics before reaching the point where adb is initalized. You could try to get early printks using the serial console. Which device are you trying to debug? You will probably need a USB to serial converter to extract the early printks for debugging.

Note: these are not mine. I just compiled them all into one bootable zip for easier installation. Here is the link to the original thread: (do not comment on this linked thread)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1564218

-Note before installing-

-These flip fonts only work on touchwiz roms.

-Check the compatible Rom list on the second post before flashing!

-These fonts when trying to choose one will be laggy considering the amount of fonts that are installed, so be patient.

I am also not responsible for any thing that happens to your phone when using this zip! I recommend using twrp. May not work on all roms! If you turn your phone into a fancy paper weight I am not responsible so I recommend making a backup or else you could end up with a fancy paper weight.

To install (twrp recommended)

1: download zip.

2: boot into recovery.

3: backup Rom.

4: install zip.

5: reboot phone and let sit for a few minutes.

_To activate flip font_

Menu>settings>display>font style

(May be different for your Rom.)

-Download- v1.0

List of known compatible roms :

Jedi mind trick

Jedi knight

This is for the T-Mobile Samsung galaxy s2 T989 Hercules ONLY! any other phone and you WILL be bricked! Always make a backup before flashing ANY zip! (Not just this zip but every zip that you download!) You have been warned!

If you want to know how I made this zip, I just installed all of the application's included in this zip and used a really great app on the android market (which I recommend everyone getting if they plan on trying out new Roms and want to keep some apps) called "app2zip" and made them into a zip that way.

If for some "unknown" reason your phone becomes soft bricked, meaning you can get into download mode and strictly download mode (if you can't do that you are hard bricked) (You can do this by plugging your phone into computer turning on and pressing and holding volume up and volume down buttons) please refer to this thread and your phone will be back to stock.
