[LG Optimus G (International)] Lacks87:
Okay so I've gotten myself into a bit of a mess and back out again. (I think)

I unlocked my Rogers E971 and made a backup with cwm.

Then I attempted to install CM10.1 from here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2031261

I did a factory restore and attempted to boot. BIG FAIL. Nothing Happens. Thought I was bricked!

I was able to open CWM to use my backup but BADCHECKSUM came up.

I was able to sideload http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2098777 and I think I'm safe.

However I would like to be able to use CM10.1 or any of the other roms.

Can anyone confirm that I am able to with 4.0.4 E9710E?

Can I flash back to E9710D?
[LG Optimus G (International)] bryanlimy:
I believe you have to flash the CM10.1 from E97110d

So then I could use the Unbrick method here

I really don't understand why people equate soff to suddenly getting aosp

You don't need soff for aosp, nor does it in anyway help aosp development on a phone

Soff is great, but not for any reasons related to aosp roms
[HTC Droid DNA] shizumie:
This just gets better and better! When i got the dna i knew it was s-on and no real hopes of getting s-off. But you see the saying is true ( s-off does come to those who patiently wait.... And dont blow up other forums about eta's and proof... And dont say its useless, or impossible...) Well i guess s-off will actually come to those people also....

Dangit. Can we run a survey and get a script to block anyone who ever spoke negatively about s-off for dna? Ya or make their phones explode while laughing in the voice of steve urkle.

Lol

Anyway

S-off is a great and magical bonus that i hoped for yet never expected. Thank to all involved.

[HTC Droid DNA] zone23:
Can't agree more.. S-Off and AOSP have NOTHING to do with each other. Having S-Off does not grant you instant AOSP.

Also hope we didn't just screw ourselves with the latest OTA. This will be my last firmware update until after S-OFF.

edit:

Ok well maybe good news I see in the image he has hboot 1.33.0001 that's the updated version.
[HTC Droid DNA] volfan22:
Correct me if I'm wrong but can't we also resize the partitions with s-off to get more space on the sd? If we got a fully working AOSP rom and more space on the sd it would be heaven lol.

[HTC Droid DNA] BBEgo:
Between your response and cbrown's, I kinda see 2 different answers, so I'll refine my question a bit.

Back in my Rezound days (as if it was soooo long ago LOL) we could download an Hboot and rename it PH98IMG.zip and place it on the root of our SDcard.

Then we'd reboot to the bootloader flash the thing just like that. We could do the same with radios.

Will we have that kind of simple functionality?

Can we just flash an Hboot update/downgrade like we would a radio?

Sent from my HTC DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] cbrown245:
Should work the same as the Rez , worked the same on all the HTC phones I have owned ,, G1, My touch ,EVO , EVO 3d , Rez , so the DNA should be no different . You shouldn't have to ruu it should just flash in fastboot .
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
I wonder if the process is simple or complex to get s-off.
[HTC Droid DNA] SAMPCam:
When I had my EVO 3D, you had to intentionally brick it and use emmc_recover to get S-OFF. That was hard. :p

Just go through the process.

I unlocked and rooted, stock rom and I am now S-off, and have never applied the OTA. What's the easiest way to apply the OTA now? (Seemed like a pain before having to go back to stock and re-lock the phone. I'm hoping s-off means I don't have to do that to apply the OTA)

[HTC Droid DNA] Stryker1297:
actually i did the original jcase and it works fine to be honest... i have no clue why they felt the need to say you need supercid. the only difference now though, is instead of "fastboot oem readcid" giving 222222 it will give 111111.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Both unlock methods give SuperCID. It was a little confusing at first since the original method never explicitly said SuperCID, but when I compared both methods you end up with SuperCID which allows you to unlock.

Will we be able to get the remaining 5gb and have full use of it now that we have s-off. Will it be able to be done by the user or would it have to be something done on the ROM level to get it back? Or would it be available with aosp since sense would be completely stripped out. I know aosp has nothing to do with s-off. I've been wondering about that cause that be good to all 16gb

A slim rom will allow you to regain a big portion of the 5gb that is installed in the phone. S-off allows for more interaction with the device like flashing radios with the newest update. It's very easy to do.

Try this: On your phone, go to settings > Developer Options (ok). Make sure USB debugging is checked and the Developer Options toggle is On.

Then try again. Good luck and HTH!

Thanks but that has been on , USB debugging on . I have no idea what else to try . The all in one tool can see the phone and read the CID but ADB is a no go .

[HTC Droid DNA] wpsantennas:
I have the same problem, I can adb when in fastboot and recovery but not when android is booted. I tried everything recommended including uninstalling HTC sync, using a different USB port and disabling & re-enabling USB debugging. Never got adb to work but I was able to get S-OFF by copying the soffbin3 file to the phone and running the final commands using terminal on the phone.

do you have Gtalk ? can you walk me through this ?
[HTC Droid DNA] motumbo:
I'm confused about super cid on my dna. I got my bootloader unlocked using the super cid enabler app and rebooting and running through the whole process with htc dev site. Now my phone is rooted and unlocked but when i check my cid it says VZW_001. HTC splash screen shows the message about a phone intended for developing only. Do i have super cid yes or no?

I've tried the super cid app tons of times but i always end up with same cid. I haven't installed latest OTA. What can i do to get super cid back? Thanks for answers.
[HTC Droid DNA] tgerbracht:
Yay

Worked first time with no problems. After doing the old school unlock (can't believe it's an .apk now) this was a snap. Many thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] wpsantennas:
Sorry, don't have GTalk but, if I recall correctly, this is what I did for the final 3 steps.

Instead of:

adb push soffbin3 /data/local/tmp/

adb shell chmod 744 /data/local/tmp/soffbin3

adb shell su -c "/data/local/tmp/soffbin3"

I did this:

Unzip soffbin3.zip on PC and copy soffbin3 to the root of the phone's "sdcard".

From a terminal on the phone (I used Terminal Emulator from ROM Toolbox):

cp /sdcard/soffbin3 /data/local/tmp/

chmod 744 /data/local/tmp/soffbin3

su -c "/data/local/tmp/soffbin3"

Now, when I did it, for whatever reason, su was not in the path so I had to use "/system/xbin/su" instead of "su" but when I tried again right now it was in the path. Either way, if just plain "su" doesn't run, put in the full path.

Anyway, after I did the above I rebooted into the bootloader and, holy $%^*, it worked! :)
[HTC Droid DNA] cbrown245:
and the PL8320000-DNA.zip you placed on the sd card and let it flash itself in fastboot correct ???
[HTC Droid DNA] wpsantennas:
No, I flashed PL8320000-DNA.zip using "fastboot flash zip PL8320000-DNA.zip" with PL8320000-DNA.zip in the fastboot/adb folder on my PC.

Essentially, I followed the S-OFF instructions exactly until step 8 (where you've booted Android w/o eMMC write protection.)
[HTC Droid DNA] Azbulldog:
Most of my problems came from USB drivers and Windows 8 complications. Make sure you still have working ones installed like from HTC Sync.
[HTC Droid DNA] cbrown245:
ok so fastboot commands worked for you ?

Appears that he went into recovery, wiped, and restarted the process. If you have a nandroid backup from before you started the S-OFF process you can try restoring that - it has worked for others. May lose some data but hopefully less than a full wipe.

In TWRP, click Wipe, then Format Data. Be warned, you'll lose everything, including backups.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_hatrix:
Does it erase TWRP itself?

Does it erase EFS as well?

I assume after I press this, I will have to push a rom in via Odin for example?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Are you joking mate or just trolling. I hope so otherwise you better buy a iPhone :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_hatrix:
No not really as I never clicked Format Data before.

I assume it doesn't wipe TWRP itself... but I just want to be sure.

As for EFS I asked because I have a persistent No Service - Selected Network Unavailable showing up since a few days ago. Restore, Full Wipe, Restart, Reconnecting, nothing works. I suspect it might be the EFS partition (TWRP never backed it up as it always fails when it gets to that point, the backup works fine regardless)

So I am down to probably doing a Full Data wipe and install a fresh rom to see if it will fix it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
You don`t have to wipe if you flash a factory image in fastboot. Everything will be erased after the wipe. Look here for how to do it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010312.

I'd like an answer to this too.

I want to nuke all data on my N4 (I've saved backups and media on my PC), so that i have a clean phone ready to flash a new ROM (copied across by USB after the wipe) so that any old program folders are gone and I've got a clean slate. But don't want to lose my TWRP recovery/root etc.

I recall that CWM had an option to wipe everything but still had the sense to avoid wiping itself! What's the point of a recovery that nukes itself in the process? That's just retarded - no offence.

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlashThisB:
So thanks to this forum, I thought I bricked my phone last night (well I kinda did). I used the format option on TWRP and magic happened, I was stuck at the logo. I figured I'd just use Odin to flash my official rom, which worked fine. Now I wanna flash the rom I had before formatting but want all the space back (I dont want all of the bloatware folders and bull**** that result from the official rom, which is why I used format in the first place). My questions is: Can I use format now that I have my official rom running and then push a custom rom through Odin? Will that work or not?
