Is something like this possible now we have s-off?

YEAH BABY!!!

S-OFF on HBOOT-2.15

Everything worked flawlessly!

And I also reset the CID back to my original HTC_001 just by doing fastboot oem writecid HTC__001. This is brilliant stuff man!

---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

Should be, this way we could get some of the wasted space back onto the sdcard partition.

However, I would be VERY reluctant to try something that is not specifically written for HTC One S (S4).
[HTC One S] ovimunt:
Downgrade H-BOOT after S-OFF - any takers so far?

Has anyone tried to downgrade the H-BOOT ofter S-OFFing?

I mean, did anyone with say H-BOOT 2.15 try to do someting like this for example:

fastboot flash hboot hboot_1.13.0000_signedbyaa.nb0

Is that possible or am I going to brick my One S?
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
Yes, you can change your hboot when you're S-Off.

I'm not sure about fastboot flashing, but you can just dd an image into p12 from recovery or even while fully booted:

dd if=hboot_bla.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12

<-- this can brick you if you're not s-off, if you use the wrong file, or the wrong partition.

I packaged up some modified hboots (only edited out the red warning text) into recovery-flashable zips and posted them up here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38387544#post38387544

However, if you're S-Off, there is hardly any reason to change your hboot anymore, because you no longer have the restrictions that higher (than 1.09) hboots would give you with S-On.
[HTC One S] ovimunt:
Thanks for your answer.

Yes, I'm S-OFF but I've just downloaded those patched hboots just in case I ever need them. I've actually managed to get rid of the TAMPERED text in the bootloader using a very basic aproach: I did a nandroid backup, relocked the bootloader, flashed the stock Jelly Bean RUU (i.e. 4.5) which got rid of the TAMPERED bit, then unlocked bootloader again, fastboot flashed TWRP recovery, restored from my original nandoid image, and VOILA! no more TAMPERED ;)

The reason why I was thinking to downgrade the hboot is that I also want to get rid of the RELOCKED message and just have LOCKED instead. I remeber that back when we were at RUU 1.53, after I re-flashed the stock RUU my bootloader simply said LOCKED, which I am sure it did because I was really surprised and I made a mental note of it.
[HTC One S] sharik21:

for people confused about typing in the supercid 11111111, if u dont see CWS__001, u might end up seeing something with TMOUSxxx.

ONLY REPLACE THOSE 8 DIGITS, nothing else. i

'll admit i screwed up the first time and soft bricked my phone (it was in qhsusb_dload...or whatever)

it took me a while to fix that, haha. anyways, dont forget to save it seperately with MOD at the end of the file!

go through all the steps, dont skip any. Where it gets to the point where it says u agreeing to this this will wipe ur phone, it wont happen. it wont even show the screen with the lock on it. just move on to this step by step for s-off and ur good to go! good luck and have fun guys!

Where did you find the 4.5 JB RUU.....?
[HTC One S] :
He has common sense to use Google , and he keeps an eye on development thread !
[HTC One S] ascot17:
Well how stupid of me not to use Google, rather going to this sticky thread in Android Development which supposedly lists all the RUUs to date.

This thread also in the development section, claims to have the latest RUU but a lot of users are reporting problems with it. Hence my question to someone who has clearly successfully used a JB RUU.

But thank you anyway for your totally useless and patronising post! Sometimes I think there ought to be a 'Wanker' button as well as a 'Thanks' button!

Has anybody faced worse battery life after SuperCID/S-Off'ing their OneS?

Mine has decreased significantly - used to lose some 1% / 1.5h of deep sleep (so 7-8% drop within one night), now it drops some 2% / 1h of deep sleep. BetterBatteryStats doesn't report any wakelocks or other issues.

I'm running ViperS 2.1.1 (wiped cache & dalvik + reflashed last evening, to be on the safe side), stock kernel, stock radio.
[HTC One S] NQNH:
AW: [S-Off] Facepalm S-Off for HTC Devices One S, One XL, Droid DNA

S-off and supercid have normally nothing to do with battery drain. It depends on kernel/radio/rom/usage.
[HTC One S] :
That's what I think too.

Thing is there haven't been any other changes whatsoever in my phone. No new applications, no new ROM, no changes in the usage. After all, sitting on the night stand for 8h is the same, no matter how you put it - but now it's losing some 17% of battery instead of 7-9% before.
[HTC One S] tkone-headbash:
Props! Easy to apply, working as promised!

There is now a much simpler way of removing the TAMPERED message (and the red warning on startup).

Any downside to doing that vs keeping 1.06 (other than the main feature -- removing the msg)? I've got S-OFF so I assume boot.img wouldn't be an issue.

with jellybean. adb gets a security level that phone asks if it safe to run adb.With old adb.exe ,you cant .if you run adb shell you will see "the device is offline" warning. download newest android sdk and pull adb.exe from it and put it your android directory.
[HTC One S] ascot17:
I don't think so. The only reason for keeping the 1.06 HBOOT was that there were fewer restrictions on that you could do than with the higher HBOOT. Now we have S-OFF there are no more restrictions!

I have been on 1.06 since day 1, but have now flashed the 1.14.0004 HBOOT to remove the TAMPERED message, and then flashed the 2.15 HBOOT. You can flash any HBOOT after 1.14.004 - the TAMPERED message stays gone!

[HTC One S] PUTALE:
hey, guys, after waiting for so long for the official jelly bean on my US T Mo phone, I think I am ready to just unlock and s-off it.

Before I do it, I got a couple of question that I want to make sure so that I don't ended up bricking it.

Quick background, I am completely stock with the latest T Mo ROM (2.35.531.12.710RD)

From what I gathered, I need to do the following

1-Unlock it from HTC Dev

2-Change CID to 11111 by following the guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26516911#post26516911

3-follow the guide on post 1 to get S-off

Then I can flash to whatever ROM I want.

From what I gathered, changing CID actually does not need to be unlock (in fact, I think it needs to be unlocked after the CID has changed, so should I actually do step 2 before step 1?)

Also, once I unlocked it can I actually flash offical RUU at all or I have to always flash custom rom (unlikely I would flash official but just thought if there is anything I need to check or watch out after I did S-OFF when I play with diff roms).
[HTC One S] CarstenDutch:
Flash a recovery and gain root after UNLOCKING!

Is it the same to do S-OFF with this procedure here or to use HTC One S All-In-One Toolkit V3.4???

[HTC One S] PUTALE:
quick question regarding to the S-OFF. If I achieve S-OFF, would I have any issue flashing the stock ROM (RUU) at all? Would I need to lock my bootloader before I run the RUU or I can just take any RUU and flash it that way?
[HTC One S] b_ignatov:
Quick one and from me:oIf we have S-OFF are we able to change the bootloader status from unlocked\re-locked to LOCKED??And also if we are able to flash stock RUU is that mean that then we have S-ON back??
[HTC One S] Herc08:
this was extremely easy, and took like 2mins to do...i had a mishap by misreading the unzip part, but it was smooth sails from there...now onto removing tampered/unlocked and red text...not that it matters because i have a custom rom, but still....also, i can confirm this works on a custom rom by the way

go ahead and click the IRC link if you have problems, there are there to help!

thanks again
[HTC One S] b_ignatov:
Very easy smooth and clear procedure.It's took me 5min and now I'm S-OFF

Thanks from me to all good developers.....but now how to get S-ON.May be if I flash stock RUU and before that I restore my original CID??

---------- Post added at 01:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 AM ----------

Exactly where should I be placing that zip?
[HTC One S] PUTALE:
Ah okay.

First of all, are you unlcoked, rooted, and got SCID? You need these in order to s-off.

As for putting the zip file, you want to put it in the same directory as where you have the fastboot. If it will not run, try to restart the PC sand/or try diff usb port, cable. When you type the command, make sure you type the exactly same and include the .zip extension at the end of the file.

fastboot command is the easiest way

just remember to check what you flash (ruu/ota) in combination with the cid,

custom roms are no problem.
[HTC One S] beaups:
Why would you ever change your cid back? There is no point.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Because people round here like to do pointless things but my fav one is wipe everything 3 times.

[HTC One S] Darknites:
I like your thinking.
[HTC One S] real187:
Tell that to people who briked there device with the ota.

Only use for cid change is to debrand device or get s-off.

Changing supercid back to original/unbranded cid is as useless as having the supercid, because it ads nothing for flashing custom roms nowadays!!

[HTC One S] beaups:
I'm not sure I understand what you are saying.

Are you stating that people got bricked due to taking an ota while having supercid?

That's quite interesting, thanks for the link.

I do see some users in that thread with non-supercid bricks so it's hard to say for sure what the problem is, but it's interesting nonetheless.
[HTC One S] real187:
Yeah there where some other devices too. But the ota and supercid combo was guaranteed.

That's why I would always advice a valid cid like htc__001 over supercid (nowadays).

Its valid for almost all ruus.

(im in no way I'm saying that this cid is brickproof)

For experienced users there should be no problem anyway, they now the best/required ways themselves.

I can't find a clear answer on this one: If I have S-Off and I want to flash back to the 2.35.531.7 tmobile RUU, I know I need to go back to the original CID,

but then can I just use the RUU .exe file? fastboot the zip inside?

Or do I absolutely need to relock my bootloader and flash the original recovery?

Yeah I realize this has been asked a lot, I just can't find a straight answer.

I tried 2 times but the result was the same. My HBOOT is 1.06 and i have supercid.
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
When you just type:

adb shell

..does your prompt end with $ or with # ?

If it ends with # then you are root and you dont need to su. You can just

adb shell /data/local/tmp/soffbin3

..or from within your adb shell:

/data/local/tmp/soffbin3

Thanks for the quick reply, the adb shell ends with a # so i just used the command you wrote and it went on. Thanks again for the help!

I had this error and tried another time, it worked. I waited half a second after and then did fastboot oem boot.
[HTC One S] sdspieg:
Hmmm. Still no cigar here. I think my problem lies elsewhere. I have an HTC One-S (rooted but without S-OFF) and am having a lot of problems with my micro-usb port (boy do I hate those things). I only get a connection if I push the usb cable down by the connector until I hear the driver on Windows make the by now familiar sound. As soon as I hear that, I can boot into bootloader though adb, and from there also into recovery. I have TWRP 2.4.3.0. But I am unable to mount the sd card - when I push that button under mount, the check-box doesn't change. I CAN however, mount data. So that's what I did and then I pushed the whole rom there through adb. I can then, under install, select that zip file and it does start aroma (but in a weird greenish color) and make my seelctions . But then when it actually flashes the rom, it stops after 7-8% I think (hard to tell, because I then get another screen). SO I guess there is not enough space there? So maybe that is why I can't fully boot into Android. And maybe that is also why I then can't do the full procedure that's desribed here?

I'd be grateful for any suggestions on how to solve this. Thanks!

[HTC One S] BilboSwaggins:
Just to verify, when you say in your working directory, you mean the platform-tools folder? And does the file have to be in that folder, or can it be in a subfolder in that folder? Just need to be certain.
[HTC One S] rustykwak:
It must be in that folder not within a sub folder!
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Yes, working directory is another way of saying the folder with the adb/fastboot files in it.

The files don't have to be in that folder, you can change the folder with the S-OFF files, to let's say "soffville".

But then you would need to edit all your commands accordingly - e.g

change

adb push soffbin3 /data/local/tmp/

to

adb push \soffville\soffbin3 /data/local/tmp/

I would recommend dumping the files into your working directory instead, and later moving them elsewhere if you want. Much easier to work with the files.
[HTC One S] BilboSwaggins:
And then the second thing, to be sure, do I reboot into Fastboot USB for step 7?
[HTC One S] rustykwak:
yes mate & make sure after entering the 3 commands leave it for a few secs before you adb reboot bootloader!
[HTC One S] BilboSwaggins:
"C:\AndroidSDK\AndroidSDK\sdk\platform-tools>adb push soffbin3 /data/local/tmp/

error: device not found"

And this was in fastboot USB, I can only get that command to work in recovery. And yes, debugging is on.
[HTC One S] rustykwak:
unplug your phone from pc leave for a min plug in and type adb devices if you get a serial No then try the command again!
