I had issues initially due to the fact I had never done SuperCID (didn't even know what it was till now as I unlocked via HTCDev without this apparently)

I kept getting the Error 99

Re: [S-Off] Facepalm S-Off for HTC Devices One S, One XL, Droid DNA

Ok not to be redundant but if you are getting device not found , boot into android and apply cmd again while in android. When you get to reboot cmds please give it like 20 sec and it will reboot you into usb fastboot, follow cmds as normal and you will be golden. I have pj831000 but I still used link for other model. It works great, don't be scared ;)

Got it to work, quick and easy running the latest viper. Tips for those who get device not found make sure you install the drivers using htc sync manager (if you have a sense rom it should have a executable for you on the phone). If you still get it just reconnect your device.

I was able to s-off no problem. I booted the phone after checking the bootloader and my phone worked fine although LTE was not on by default. I turned LTE on using the *#*#INFO#*#*. A couple of hours later I rebooted the phone and when it booted up it did not connect to AT&T's nework it said R. I checked again the *#*#INFO#*#* and all the info was gone. The only way I was able to fix it was to restore the nandroid I made before s-off. Has anyone ran into this issue? I am using AOKP 4.1.2.

I usually use the Flash GUI app to load the boot.img when installing/updating a ROM. I can skip this step now?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] asj2583:
no luck here, i've been trying to relock and flash ruu but now on my bootloader i get a tampered relocked security warning. read some where that this was due to having a custom recovery and relocking bootloader so i've downloaded the 2.20 ruu and extracted the rom.zip so that can flash the stock recovery. found this bat file that will take away the security warning and allow me to unlock bootloader and flash the stock recovery but when i relock the bootloader i get the security warning again and wont allow me to boot into the rom so that i can run the ruu. any help would be appreciated as i've been on this since 8am and it's now 3pm and i dont what to try any more.

Edit: OMG, just a few minutes after I typed this I retried the procedure and it worked!!! I guess when flashed the stock recovery that all it took so that might be something worth trying if you can't get it to work.

Yea I did that also on viper XL3.2.3 elemtal hernel hboot 1.14 and just downloaded adb so I think I have most current version
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
If you really really want to do this, grab the firmware.zip from one of the 3.17 OTA's. I would suggest 3.17.111.1 as it has newer firmwares such as radio.

-adb reboot bootloader

If not already in bootloader

-fastboot oem rebootRUU

-fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

This will likely return things like:

FAILED (remote: 92 supercid! please flush image again immediately)

FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)

Rerun fastboot flash zip firmware.zip until it succeeds. This will be 2-3 times in total.

-fastboot oem boot

You should note that on hboot 2.14 trying to do things like fastboot flash radio radio.img still returns

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Even with s-off. I believe we need an ENG hboot to overcome that.

But you could also flash an entire firmware.zip to update firmwares anyways.

Some brave soul should see what happens if you try to flash an older firmware.zip with s-off.

See if it is an easier way to downgrade the hboot than using JET.

WARNING DANGER: I dont know but there is a high chance this could lead to a brick, hence why I am not trying ;).

you shouldn't rename (or have to rename) anything...if your computer is hiding the file extensions, you can either leave it as it is and put the true filename (with .zip) extension in the terminal window and it should work..or you can have your computer display file extensions.

delete your extra .zip at the end (or better yet, just delete it and redownload the zip)

here you can find out how to display file ext in windows:

Open Folder Options by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Folder Options.

Click the View tab.

Am I the only one who is still confused about the S-OFF benefits?

I did search about it, and what I found is that S-OFF allows you to write kernel, radio to your phone and, some says switching between LTE/3G/2G becomes possible because of S-OFF.

I am currently using CM 10.1 (2/19) on my One XL. On bootloader it says "EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL" which I guess it's S-ON. But I have no problem with writing boot.img or any radio zip to my phone. I don't even need to write boot.img separately. Everytime I update a CM nightly build, I automatically get the latest kernel comes with it build.

I have no problem installing TWRY the latest version. Plus I can switch between LTE/3G/2G without any issue.

So, what exact does S-OFF provide?

adb.exe

fastboot.exe

AdbWinApi.dll

AdbWinUsbApi.dll

downloading platform-tools_r16.0.2-windows.zip makes it alot easier then just downloading the whole sdk

2.14 hboot upgrade

I do all this process to upgrade to HBOOT 2.14

First: Any brick or failure it`s not my responsibility:cowboy: Proceed with caution.

My phone: One X AT&T in HBOOT 1.09 with superCID, unlocked bootloader, rooted and S-OFF (i think all people in this post have done all yet ;))

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, let`s go:

1-Download this file and place in adb folder:

http://d-h.st/XdJ //the firmware files from 2.14 hboot

2-Reboot in fastboot mode.

3-Do the following commands one by one:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem rebootRUU //to enter in HTC black screen

fastboot flash zip [zipname.zip] //in this case with hboot214.zip // i.e "fastboot flash zip hboot214.zip"

(wait some seconds)

fastboot reboot-bootloader //see results in bootloader 2.14 HBOOT and S-OFF ready :p

i think this .zip updates radio to 0.24 and replace TWRP recovery, use with caution:silly: Maybe someone can edit the zip to prevent that.
