only if it was locked in the first place,from the s-off procedure. when your s-off,you can flash signed-by-htc full ruus without relocking,and your lock status does not change. i.e.,if youre unlocked and run an ruu,youre still unlocked afterward.

if you re-unlock after an s-off pocedure chagnes you back to locked,then the best you can do is relocked,just like when you are s-on. the only way to get back to locked,is to s-on,then re-s off :eek:

the

only way

to legitimately revert the lock status flag,is for it t also be reset during the s-off process.
[HTC Droid DNA] luke1333:
So when and how can use normal people get soff?

Not an iPhone.....
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
haha,he was a trip... him and his evil minions.

it definately earns alot more respect to not take donations for "development" like he was doing :rolleyes:

i may have to pick one of these up afer all... i was perfectly happy with my X until this thread popped up ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] Sality:
Dont know if its possible to use such method on earlier devices, will test it on OneX in a week, when it arrives, but im 80% sure, that it will be compatible.
[HTC Droid DNA] Melodycd:
This is great news for all of us here. S-off on my Sensation made flashing so easy. So I ordered 2 phones already, and waiting for delivery. Hope to get S-off any time it comes out. Just take your time. I trust that you can do it.
[HTC Droid DNA] fernando sor:
I will donate this If achieved

110010.

Decimal equivalent
[HTC Droid DNA] Varucell:
With ya there. I I would be happy to donate.
[HTC Droid DNA] jcase:
Any reason the image is '410-gone'?

Everything ok for me, just checked

OP, will receive monetary compensation for delivery of S-off from me.........it's a lock!
[HTC Droid DNA] xhunter187:
Working for me too jcase.
[HTC Droid DNA] another581:
As long as he does not ask for donation before any official release, then there is no need to clarify whether he really does have what we want or not. If he releases the S-off, good for everyone, but if he doesn't then no one loses anything except this person's reputation. So let's just ease off the tension and let him be...
[HTC Droid DNA] jcase:
Exactly, hell if he doesn't release it shouldn't harm his reputation. He has a long history of work on 4pda.ru (6 years). I see no reason to doubt him, but I would just sit tight.
[HTC Droid DNA] luke1333:
I'm confused are they going to release soff or not?

Not an iPhone.....
[HTC Droid DNA] BFirebird101:
Patience is virtuous

Sent from my Droid DNA. 1080p never looked so sweet.

I have awakened. Hopefully someday you do the same!
[HTC Droid DNA] fernando sor:
He is being pretty cool. If it doesn't happen it doesn't happen.

Nothing could be worse than the evildevnull fiasco on the rezound .

Epic douche
[HTC Droid DNA] luke1333:
just confused on everything. what is wrong with it or what is all the argument here about?
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
lolwut
[HTC Droid DNA] Dri94:
*creating a post saying people should be patient and give the guy a chance even though nobody has complained in about three to four pages nor were they ever really complaining but just making sure the guy is not a troll*

All kinds of debate about donation and etc

[HTC Droid DNA] fernando sor:
On my flame meter this thread is a one.

The meter goes to a gazillion
[HTC Droid DNA] anti09:
People keep referencing this - what happened with evildevnull?
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
Scammed a bunch of people and was subsequently banned from XDA (and I assume Rootzwiki).

I don't know the exact details but it was a pretty epic fallout.
[HTC Droid DNA] fernando sor:
To be honest I'm not even sure he is suppose to be discussed here but let's just say he was unstable, unscrupulous and dishonest.

Unfortunately soff is something android enthusiasts want so badly that they are willing to believe anything.

He never had a method yet people donated.

Funny people say jcases method was hard.

On the resound we had to short out the sdcard with two paper clips lol
[HTC Droid DNA] rajuabju:
an epic fail of epic failure proportions.

and a well deserved ban.
[HTC Droid DNA] sgt. slaughter:
Yeah let's drop the evildevnull talk if we can guys... If you wanna know the story some search the forums, and if you wanna hear his side go to evils website and have a good laugh at some of his remarks...

Now as this thread goes...... Let's all sit tight here, no talk of donations or bad devs or history or any of that... Just sit tight and see what happens going forward... Could be nothing, but it could be great things, so let's not speculate and just let it happen. :)
[HTC Droid DNA] bakemcbride21:
Nothing to see here...keep moving! :) lol

I have a good feeling about Mother Russia....hopefully we will be S-off in early 2013!
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
He ran his mouth on Twitter a lot... Ordered his minions to develop and his wife to bring him monsters... He was banned from android forums as well. He was prolly banned from everywhere,so started his own site called the "think tank",where he would order his minions to gather from twitter. He claimed to be on the verge of.cracking EVO 3d 1.5 hboot,and the rezound. Needless to say never happened. He did collect a lot of donations for monsters. :rolleyes: I bought some stickers from him,that i hate to admit were pretty cool.
[HTC Droid DNA] DbZ Gokuu:
Lol yeah. The "wire trick". People were so scared to do it lololol
[HTC Droid DNA] dragonrazorz:
I was scared to do the wire trick because my phone is ny internet source, if i got stuck during the trick i was screwed ha but my ipod cable made it pretty easy ha
[HTC Droid DNA] Awesomebro:
Yeah because you could render your SD card unusable if done incorrectly. I fried one en route to s-off.
[HTC Droid DNA] DbZ Gokuu:
I never heard of that happening. I feel like most people said they got it on their first try
[HTC Droid DNA] crossmission:
@ Dbz Gokuu: Just Saiyan? No Super Saiyan or anything :( though

just jk

I'm wondering if the DNA can function in Cyprus (Europe for the less knowledgeable), if it does and this guy actually gets S-OFF I'm buying it, don't mind waiting for a 1080p screen, he mentioned the One X as well and the reason I sold it was that I had the wifi issue and wasn't covered due to unlocking with HTCDev :(

oh, and definitely donating, always appreciate good work.
[HTC Droid DNA] DbZ Gokuu:
See this guy knows what I'm Saiyan! :)
[HTC Droid DNA] azndan2:
Sounds like Protekk
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
It was common on early release to fudge up the sd card,necessitating a reformat. I also killed one beyond any fixing. It definately did happen ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] WilliamStern:
So did this go stale?
[HTC Droid DNA] typeriz:
No, i think the póster said need more time (2013) to work things out.
[HTC Droid DNA] comradequestions:
Yeah, people are being surprisingly patient, which is a good thing. Last thing we need is a whole lot of commotion before anything is confirmed. Though it makes you wonder, if this guy could get S-Off, then shouldn't other developers figure it out as well?
[HTC Droid DNA] typeriz:
Its not that easy to find a exploit. He could very well be protecting his sources.

Not worth to lose a job over
[HTC Droid DNA] klarson:
Wasn't he going to post a photo with his username?? Just wondering. I'm not saying I don't believe the guy. Deeply appreciate the work being done for this device.
[HTC Droid DNA] crossmission:
tru dat
[HTC Droid DNA] DbZ Gokuu:
This. I know a lot of people would feel better. Not saying I do t trust him though lol
[HTC Droid DNA] borito4:
Hoping for this!
[HTC Droid DNA] cj2566:
He's already been vetted by jcase. Asking for a photo at this point seems a bit rude. People need to relax.
[HTC Droid DNA] Cdoan34:
well it was asked from page one, he said he'd provide me with a photo yesterday and it didnt happen. Im not saying he didnt do it, it'd just be nice to know that it is in the future of this device for certain.
[HTC Droid DNA] nitrous²:
Hoping for that one! But doesn't this sound curious? I mean, the method to get s-off on a snapdragon processor should work an a tegra3 device? Please dont get me wrong! I'm just really confused :D
[HTC Droid DNA] sgt. slaughter:
Guys I'm going to ask the begging/asking for further proof/evidence stop here. Let it be, and when the man is ready he will provide more info.

So let's sit back and just wait for them to provide whatever they want to whenever they want to. No need for much more discussion on it till then.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jarocks:
I second this, those of us who purchased this knew what we were getting into. Just be patient, or sell your phone if you're that impatient.
[HTC Droid DNA] Dri94:
Go to 4dpa. He is a respected dev there

[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
i got a factory s-off innternational one X ill trade for a dna ;) get your s-off right now!

nicely said,sgt slaughter, :cool:
[HTC Droid DNA] ML417:
the US version of the One X uses the duel core S4
[HTC Droid DNA] Jarocks:
I'll have to pass on that offer, I'm perfectly happy with my DNA. I also think this guy is legit, S-Off without an sdcard is by no means an easy feat (search the forums for those of you who don't believe me). Regardless, I'm in this for the long haul.
[HTC Droid DNA] vinylfreak89:
yes, there are other devs working on the project. Right now there is a bit of a hold up though, as we're waiting on one of them to acquire some more equipment. Honestly, I don't care who releases S-OFF. The team I am working with will continue to push forward regardless of what others are doing, as it offers a great learning experience for us and possibly more information for other/future devices. Who knows, we might come on the same exploit. I agree with most people here though, that he's the real deal.

For those who don't believe S-OFF is possible let one rumor. S-OFF is possible without an SDCard. Please don't ask for proof. I can't give that to you, you'll have to just trust me.

Though I have no guarantees, I am confident S-OFF will come to the DNA. Whether its a week from now or 6 months from now I can't tell you. I also hear from many sources that the next OTA should fix the problem of system being write protected while booted. This one I'm a bit skeptical on, but I'm beginning to believe it more and more the more sources I get that tell me it is a bug and with some of my own research.
[HTC Droid DNA] Y2KoaS:
No S-off for HOX snapdragon vs Tegra3 are very different.
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
How do you know its a processor based exploit,are you involved in the project? His method may not be processor specific.
[HTC Droid DNA] jcase:
I vetted no one, I said no reason exists not to trust him as of now
[HTC Droid DNA] jcase:
Some HTC one x phones are Qualcomm, I have one here.
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
older,original international one X are quad core tegra 3,not qualcom. if s4 variants exist,this is the first ive heard of it.

older one XL(att and rogers) are s4 dual core

newer one X+ is quad core tegra 3

the one series is a bit confusing.
[HTC Droid DNA] nitrous²:
Are you serious? :D The AT&T One X has a S4 processor and it's been released the same time as the Tegra3 One x.

These are the available One X versions:

International One X (Tegra3 T30, Quadcore) no S-Off

U.S. AT&T Rogers One X (Snapdragon S4 DUALCORE LTE) S-Off available

European One XL (Snapdragon S4 Dualcore LTE)

International One X+ (Tegra3 T40 Quadcore)
[HTC Droid DNA] scotty1223:
And that's different from what I said,how? :confused:

edit:

i see it now,i stand corrected on the quad core s4 one X+
[HTC Droid DNA] jcase:
The Qualcomm One X is sold as HTC One X, im not sure where the XL naming came from
[HTC Droid DNA] nitrous²:
The One XL is the European Version of the AT&T One X and only available in Europe, I guess. It's a bit larger and the only HTC of the One series in Europe that has LTE.
[HTC Droid DNA] crossmission:
I think it's actually the Australian version, I've never seen a One XL in Greece nor Cyprus (apart from the occasional used) but LTE is just starting in Greece and a long ways to go in Cyprus. For the time being only the UK and Germany have proper LTE in a way. So I don't think there was a need for an lte device till just quite recently.
[HTC Droid DNA] Y2KoaS:
I won't go into the detail to explain suffice to let you know that they are differently secured.
[HTC Droid DNA] crossmission:
The HTC Butterfly was just announced which is basically the dna with a sd card slot, or the J Butterfly without the ipx7 (waterproofing). Does it having a card slot make it any easier to s-off?
[HTC Droid DNA] Sality:
Sorry guys, migrating to HTC Butterfly(changing devices) no eta for s-off. Will work on S-OFF for HTC Buttefly.

ps: it has SD-card slot:cyclops:
[HTC Droid DNA] cmay227:
Wow.. really?
[HTC Droid DNA] Sality:
http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-butterfly/#specs

Expansion card slot supports microSD™ memory card for up to 32GB additional storage (card not included)

A bit fail of HTC not to make support for 64gb microSD cards, like Samsung did in Galaxy S3\Note2
[HTC Droid DNA] Dri94:
I think he was saying wow to how your just leaving after you achieved s-off

____________________________________________________________

" I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it."
[HTC Droid DNA] cmay227:
You know, not to be a asshole but, since your packing your **** and moving to another device. Why not release how you achieved s-off on the dna? Or maybe it was a preview device that already had s-off? If not why not talk to a dev here about how you got it? So many question but very little answers. I mean you posted a pic showing s-off and then your gone? You mind lifting the skirt a little and showing a bit of what you got?
[HTC Droid DNA] luke1333:
I agree you think you would release it so everybody would love you lol but this guy doesn't even know how to get soff probably

Not an iPhone.....
[HTC Droid DNA] Sality:
im not leaving, im just postpone it a bit, firstly ill try to make s-off on butterfly, after that ill do a public release for dna.

i dont think htc changed smth in butterfly from dna, they probably just added sd-card slot. But for now Butterfly is my top1 priority.

As for releasing sources, I've already told, i wont release sources in any circumstances.

You should probably just wait a bit longer, or if its all the same in butterfly as in dna, release for dna will be at the same time as a release for butterfly.

luke1333, u can think whatever u want, its your own business. I owe u nothing, remember that and get over it.
[HTC Droid DNA] Dri94:
Alright. You should give the post above Luke some consideration. Perhaps working with a dev here, but I'm not sure if that's what you meant when you said you can't reveal sources. Anyways hope to see you back

____________________________________________________________

" I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it."
[HTC Droid DNA] Sality:
As I've posted few days ago, there will be few beta-rabbits, randomly selected from this forum (based on time zone).

But sources are confidential, so I cant work with any additional dev except few guys which i can trust. Nothing personal)

as long as it will stay confidential, there will be a chance that this s-off will work on other future(and maybe earlier) devices.
[HTC Droid DNA] rhettnis:
clearly you are making all this up, and this is just a way to postpone saying anything legit. I don't know why people follow threads like this.
[HTC Droid DNA] madzozs:
And then my boner went flaccid. :crying:
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
You guys are ridiculous.

I know if I was him, and listened to this, I would say "screw all of you" and just leave. Do you guys really want that? Show a little courtesy and stop being dbags.
[HTC Droid DNA] cj2566:
Dude. Seriously, STFU. You are not a developer and obviously have not done any research on the individual you're criticizing.
[HTC Droid DNA] cmay227:
It is what it is. Thank you in advance if this happens. If not, you provided me some light reading. Good luck with the butterfly.
[HTC Droid DNA] Sality:
Im busy at my work right now, as I mentioned before, i will have more free time near New Year, so there will be video and some news on process. For now, im just working on it like...1-2 hours a day, cause i dont have more free time and my fiancee getting angry when im working at home.:laugh:

ETA for video = 29 december(or earlier) :p
[HTC Droid DNA] Sality:
Forget 1 thing:

for now i can tell you, that S-OFF is possible for ALL Droid DNA devices from 23 October release. They all will get S-OFF sooner or later.

All work now is to decrease chance to brick device and compile everything in "few-clicks" utility.

If Butterfly wont get s-off through my method, ill continue on DNA (at least this device will gt s-off):cool:

Stay tuned. I will create twitter account later, when ill get home, so u can track all progress.
[HTC Droid DNA] cromanorn:
Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Hopefully sometime in the new year we will be celebrating some S-off goodness :good::cool:
[HTC Droid DNA] dilster97:
Whats the difference between root and S-OFF
[HTC Droid DNA] jinx01:
http://bit.ly/TZFcTF
[HTC Droid DNA] luke1333:
You should want people to test it out and help improve upon the method not taking one photo or two and saying look at me. Be a dev and share show others how to get it. I could find a photo of a dev phone and put it up saying I achieved soff too. Have to back it up with some proof aka method to do it so you can prove to others you got it

Not an iPhone.....
[HTC Droid DNA] jinx01:
False. Unless, of course, there is some smartphone hacking book of rules out there that he signed... ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
Yes! Lets please ask him to reveal his exploit so that that HTC can patch it up!

GREAT THINKING THERE, BUDDY!
[HTC Droid DNA] fernando sor:
No one who achieves an soff exploit makes the method public.

That's insane. There is absolutely no upside to that
[HTC Droid DNA] sgt. slaughter:
Absolute last warning to everyone here.

Do not bug or pester anyone for sources on exploit or getting things done. That crap won't fly here one bit, as it sickens me to no end to see users nag devs over things they have ZERO knowledge about, as it ends up running the dev off 99% time!

Like I said. Last warning here guys, you won't like the next step taken if needed.
[HTC Droid DNA] Dri94:
Sounds reasonable. May I recommend jcase for a trustworthy dev. He is very knowledgeable also.

And of course myself for a beta tester :p

[HTC Droid DNA] vdChild:
Thank you for taking this seriously as someone who is seriously considering the DNA I would hate for this to turn into a rezound part two where a few of the comunity ruined it for others in this way. As for the op take ur time and they should only be so lucky to have u on board working for the device.
[HTC Droid DNA] Cdoan34:
I'll be keeping a watch on this thread, Hope to see you back here soon Sality!

good luck with the Htc Butterfly :]
[HTC Droid DNA] nrfitchett4:
My rezound officially only supported 32gb but 64gb cards work just fine.

Not pestering, just curious. The Butterfly was just announced, does it even have a release date yet? How can you be working on a phone that no one has?
[HTC Droid DNA] crossmission:
I'm in Europe so I'll go for the butterfly but appreciate the effort from sality for both devices, plus when he says that 23 oct devices will be s-off compatible means DO NOT UPDATE guys cause new hboots probably will be out of it either permanently or for awhile. For those who didn't get it...
[HTC Droid DNA] nrfitchett4:
has there been any rumor of release date? I'm glad that there will be a global version.
[HTC Droid DNA] crossmission:
I think I read January, check gsmarena, they have a source site on the bottom cant remember which, and I posted a Htc site linking the butterfly in the general section under pros cons thread
[HTC Droid DNA] jcase:
Thank you but, all my HTC devices are s-off (but one).
[HTC Droid DNA] crossmission:
Trick question : do you have a DNA?

LOL.
[HTC Droid DNA] Cdoan34:
trick answer, developer DNA's have s-off lol.
[HTC Droid DNA] Sality:
Beta-rabbits will be selected randomly due to time zone. (mine us GMT+2, but certain time frames will be selected later, when ill know my work shedule.

Love sarcasm:D

I've thought its obvious not to update:eek:

Yes, he is lucky one who get factory s-off device...

or is it dev phone?

About HTC Butterfly: im not working on it now, im just waiting for sales to start. But it will be my top1 priority. Until then im working on DNA.

BUT IN ANY CASE i wont release s-off for public BEFORE ill test Butterfly for exploits. Dont want HTC to fix my lucky holes, i hope u understand my point:D
[HTC Droid DNA] cromanorn:
If people can't understand this then they should not root, unlock, or s-off because they are plain stupid :eek::cool:
[HTC Droid DNA] BFirebird101:
Maybe we should just hire the best hacker in the world :)
[HTC Droid DNA] crossmission:
I thought as much as everyone is either suggesting you as a dev or they say if there is s-off then you WILL know about it.

Lucky bastard :p

Anyhow I was gonna buy a DNA from the uk but now that the butterfly is out and reportedly has a card slot then I'll wait a little longer.
[HTC Droid DNA] crossmission:
Geohot??

Lol

I think after the iPhone and ps3 he was satisfied with himself and just layed back.

Cheers George (Hotz).

And thanks for starting on the DNA JUST JK lol
[HTC Droid DNA] S121Guy:
Just saw a post with the butterfly system dump. Does this put soff closer? :D

sent from my rooted DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] jcase:
nope
[HTC Droid DNA] Sality:
nope, as i've posted earlier, I've already make my device S-OFF, its just a matter of time to make this method easier and clean some garbage inside a code)

ps: but definetelly would help me find my mistake, cause my phone wont't boot after droid-logo:cowboy:
[HTC Droid DNA] jcase:
A) s-off doesnt have anything to do with teh bootloader saying locked unlocked or relocked

B) if you have s-off you can revert the unlocked status
[HTC Droid DNA] l7777:
I have a 64 GB card in my HTC Thunderbolt that only supports 32 GB. There is nothing electrically different between SDHC and SDXC. STXC cards are simply formatted FATex, reformat them fat32 and they work in most devices.
[HTC Droid DNA] DevonL:
Interesting - so whilst you have managed to get the phone S-OFF you also managed to brick the phone in the process?

I'd love to see a working hack come about for this phone to allow S-OFF. I remember it took a little time for my OG Droid Incredible.. I'll hold out hope for this phone as well.
[HTC Droid DNA] papi92:
Have to say this is great news. I am happy for the community. Thank you OP! Smart to wait for Butteryfly. 2 birds with 1 stone :)
[HTC Droid DNA] t1gartist:
i can surely wait if it means not bricking my phone i cant wait but then again im also looking forward to 4.2 on this phone im loving my phone so much
[HTC Droid DNA] el7145:
Is it possible that your method will work for other Qualcomm devices, most notably the HTC One S (S4 variant)?

Thanks
